The Little Dumb Wife of the Mountain People

Chapter 64

Wen Bao didn't see Song Dalang when he got up in the morning. Ever since his house was built, Song Dalang started hunting small things in the mountains from time to time.

These little things basically went into Wen Bao's stomach, and after a while, Wen Bao let Song Dalang dry them, and did not sell them.

The food for Song Dalang and Wen Bao has always been sent by the Wen family. Apart from hunting and taking care of Wen Bao, Song Dalang still has to look at the house the Wen family built in Songjia Village.

It was not surprising that Wen Bao didn't see Song Dalang at home when he got up this morning. After breakfast, Wen Bao wandered around in his yard for a while and Song Dalang still didn't come back. Wen Bao guessed that he probably went down the mountain.

There are vegetables planted in spring in the vegetable garden. Except for the bacon made in winter, the meat at home is the air-dried chicken made from the recently hunted wild pheasant.

Wen Bao pursed her lips, she was a little greedy for fresh pork.

Now it is inconvenient for Wen Bao to cook with a big belly, so he simply wandered out of the courtyard slowly because it was still early in the sky.

Just when he arrived at the gate of his courtyard, Wen Bao saw a few people walking towards his house not far away.

After getting closer and seeing the person clearly, Wen Bao laughed.

"Da Lang, how did you know that cousin is coming today?"

Song Dalang walked in the front, behind him were Wu Houye and Zhang Lian, and at the end was Liquan.

The four of them were carrying a lot of things in their hands, and they were almost at the door of the house.

Hearing Wen Bao's voice, the four of them raised their heads to look at Wen Bao at the same time, Wu Houye immediately laughed when he saw Wen Bao, but after seeing Wen Bao's big belly for a moment, he immediately said: "Cousin, why is your belly so big! "

Wu Houye didn't have any brothers or sisters, and he hardly saw the Wen family's daughters-in-law when they were pregnant. He was close to Wen Bao and didn't treat Wen Bao as an outsider. Even if Wen Bao was married, he still didn't have this concept.

So after looking at his cousin carefully, Wu Houye found that his cousin seemed to have gained a lot of weight, especially her belly.

After seeing Wu Houye clearly, Wen Bao also wanted to say that he was fat, but before she could say anything, she heard Wu Houye say that she had a big belly.

"I've been pregnant for more than seven months, how could my belly not be big, but you, I look at your belly, it looks like you're four or five months pregnant."

Wu Houye and Wen Bao said that she was an outsider, and Wen Bao naturally wouldn't meet with Wu Houye. As soon as this joke came out, Wu Houye blushed and dared not move forward.

Song Dalang had already walked to Wen Bao's side at this time, seeing the joke in his daughter-in-law's eyes, he immediately gave a doting smile.

"My cousin brought fish, meat, and food. I thought it would be inconvenient for you to be pregnant, so I asked Liquan and his wife to come together."

Song Dalang's words broke Wu Houye's embarrassment. After hearing Song Dalang's words, Wu Houye immediately took two steps forward and moved the things in his hand forward.

"Fine white rice, I know you like it, so I brought a hundred catties here, and it's all in the hands of my brother-in-law. I have fish and meat here, and other things are behind."

Zhang Lian was holding a basket in her hand, which should be the vegetables she planted, and Liquan behind her was also carrying a lot of things in his hand, Wen Bao guessed that it was brought by Wu Houye.

Greeting a few people into the yard, Wu Houye was out of breath from climbing the mountain, but because he saw his cousin, although he was tired, he still smiled.

"Cousin, I heard that you have something to do with me, what's the matter?"

Wu Houye spoke very lightly, as if he was afraid of scaring Wen Bao, Wen Bao turned his head and saw him like this, smiled and asked Song Dalang to take Liquan to send the things into the cave, and then called Zhang Lian to come over.

Seeing that Wen Bao and the three seemed to have something to say, Song Dalang immediately asked Wen Bao and the three to sit down in the cave and said that it was almost noon and the weather was going to be hot.

"Da Lang, you and Li Quan put your things away, and I will cook with Zhang Lian later."

After Wen Bao said this to Song Dalang, he looked at Wu Houye who was beside him. Seeing his cousin's body that had gained weight a few times, Wen Bao shook his head and then looked at Zhang Lian who was on the side.

"Is there any help?"

Because of Wu Houye's figure, he has never been able to find a wife, and Wen Bao also felt that Wu Houye's health was affected by this, so he insisted on asking Zhang Lian to help Wu Houye lose weight.

Since I have nothing to do with myself, I can only resort to external forces.

Wu Houye didn't know what his cousin said, but seeing Zhang Lian nodding, he still couldn't help opening his mouth.

"Cousin, what are you doing?"

Didn't you tell him something?And the news he received was that his cousin wanted to do business with him, but what's going on now?

Wen Bao won't tell Wu Houye that what she did is actually killing two birds with one stone.

"Cousin, don't you think you're too fat? Zhang Lian is good at medicine. I'll ask her to help you lose weight. When you lose weight, you must look good!"

When Wen Bao said this, Wu Houye was a bit reluctant at first, but Wu Houye's eyes lit up when he heard the last few words.

Can he be good looking too?
The more Wu Houye thought about it, the more excited he became, his eyes were frighteningly bright when he looked at Wen Bao, as if he could lose weight in an instant.

Wen Bao glanced at him, guessing that he agreed, and then said again: "Zhang Lian and I are going to plant herbs in Songjia Village, and then sell some simple ointments and pills. You can help us find a place to sell them when the time comes. Divide your money."

As soon as Wen Bao said this, Wu Houye nodded with a smile. Although Wu's family business is not small now, no one despises his own small family business. Of course, the more the better.

Seeing that Wu Houye agreed, Zhang Lian took Wu Houye's pulse and asked him about his daily diet. Hearing what Wu Houye ate every day, it was no wonder that Wen Bao knew that he would not gain weight even though he didn't know medical skills.

"Cousin, you can stay in Songjia Village for a few days, and wait for Zhang Lian to prepare the medicine for you. It just so happens that Da Lang will take you to climb mountains for a few days to lose weight."

Wu Houye wanted to marry a wife, so after Wen Bao said these words, he thought about it and agreed.

After talking about this matter, Wen Bao and Zhang Lian were ready to cook.

The rice brought by Wu Houye was simmered in a large pot of rice, sliced ​​pork belly was fried and eaten, a large fish was braised, two vegetables were fried, and a vegetable soup was cooked.

Zhang Lian's cooking is not difficult, but she doesn't know as many ingredients as Wen Bao, and with Wen Bao directing, it's easy for Zhang Lian to cook this table of meals.

only……

"You have it?"

Whether she is pregnant or not, seeing Zhang Lian looking disgusted at Yu Zuo, and thinking about Liquan's cautious appearance just now, Wen Bao guessed whether Zhang Lian is pregnant.

Zhang Lian felt a little ashamed when Wen Bao asked her, she nodded and said in a low voice, "It's been two months, and the spring will be born next year."

Hearing that Zhang Lian will have a baby, Wen Bao, in the spring of next year, she is still a little envious. Her baby will be grown up in winter and it will be easy to take care of her. Unlike her, who was born in autumn, the baby will still be young in winter.

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier, I wouldn't let you work if I knew."

After Wen Bao said this, Zhang Lian looked at her and smiled, "It's okay, I'm young, so I can turn around."

After hearing what Zhang Lian said, Wen Bao lowered his head to look at his stomach. Sure enough, his stomach was so big that he couldn't turn around.

During the meal, Wen Bao, Song Dalang and Liquan talked about Wu Houye's weight loss, and also said that Wu Houye would stay in Songjia Village for a few days.

Song Dalang glanced at Wu Houye, who couldn't see the smile, and then discussed with Wen Bao in a low voice: "Is it okay to let my cousin live in the cave behind the house? It's hot, I'll sprinkle some insect repellent medicine."

The cave of Song Dalang's house is such a big place, and Wu Houye can only live in the cave with the wine jar behind his home if he stays.

The cave was not well lit, but it was summer, so it was cool to live in.

"Okay, you can clean up later."

Wen Bao also knows the current situation of his family. The house at the foot of the mountain is still hanging out and cannot be lived in. It is the best way for Wu Houye to live in the cave behind his house.

Wu Houye didn't know how Wen Bao and Song Dalang arranged for him. Today he was brought by the Wu family's carriage, and the driver of the carriage stayed down the mountain to eat with the man who built the Wen family's house, so he didn't come up.

After dinner, Wen Bao and Song Dalang tidied things at home, and Wu Houye and Liquan went down the mountain. Wu Houye was going to order the servants at home to take the medicine that Zhang Lian wanted to make for him.

Wu Houye cooperated, and Liquan's family did not have some medicinal materials, so he asked the servants of the Wu family to drive a carriage to the town to buy them, and sent a letter to the Wen family by the way, saying that he would stay in Songjia Village for a few days.

The servants of the Wu family drove the horse-drawn carts faster than the ox carts and donkey carts. When they came back, they not only brought the medicinal materials Zhang Lian needed, but also some daily necessities and meat dishes for Wu Houye.

What Wu Houye didn't expect was that after eating the meat at noon, he only had a bowl of cold cucumber at night.

Wu Houye thought he was wrong, and he didn't understand why his cousin and his wife could eat cold noodles, and there were some pieces of meat in the cold noodles, why he was a bowl of cold cucumber.

"Cousin, why don't you eat?"

Wen Bao picked out two pieces of noodles and ate them in small bites, and found that Wu Houye's gaze was always on him, which made him feel strange.

Wu Houye looked at the jobs of Wen Bao and Song Dalang, and then at his own, the more he looked at them, the more he felt wronged.

"Cousin, do you have no money to buy food at home?"

Wu Houye wanted to touch the banknotes on his body as he spoke, but he was also surprised. He remembered that when his servants came back at night, they brought a large piece of meat.

Wen Bao swallowed the noodles in his mouth, and then glanced at Wu Houye, her cousin was too innocent.

"Didn't I tell you to lose weight? Eat, there will be meat tomorrow morning."

Wen Bao tried his best to keep his tone softer, fearing that Wu Houye would not be able to bear the blow for a while.

Wu Houye really couldn't bear this blow. He thought that it would be enough for him to drink medicine, but why can't he eat meat.

Wen Bao naturally saw Wu Houye's hurt eyes, but she couldn't help it. Her cousin couldn't stay in Songjia Village for a long time, so she could only help him lose as much as possible as soon as possible.

When he develops a habit by himself, even if he is outside, he will be able to control his mouth.

"Is there really meat to eat tomorrow morning?"

Wu Houye picked up a piece of cucumber with his chopsticks, brought it to his mouth, and then paused to ask a question uncertainly. Naturally, he got Wen Bao's affirmative look.

Song Dalang chewed the noodles and couldn't bear to tell his cousin that he really couldn't eat the meat his servant bought today.
