Chapter 40: Five Years
|151Kanshu.com text|.| The four seasons in the south of the Yangtze River are like spring, and there are bursts of laughter in a house where the rich live.
In the garden, I saw three people sitting next to the bamboo table under the tree, one of which was the Zhang family. Five years have passed, the Zhang family has not only not grown old, but even much younger, and the people are becoming more and more handsome.
Although he is only twelve years old, he has already seen the taste of a girl, and standing in the crowd is also eye-catching.
Peach Blossom is teasing her brother." Brother Ba, how much do you love your sister?"
I saw that Brother Ba immediately raised his hands high." There is so much love."
Peach Blossom hugged him tightly in her arms, kissed him one bite at a time, and the funny brother giggled.
When he was in the Hou Mansion, Hou Ye drank too much and didn't know how to enter the house.
Something like this happened.It was when Mrs. Qian died.It's not good to tell your daughter.Zhang's only one person held it in his heart.Which Cheng thought about it once.She was pregnant with Brother Ba.
It wasn't until he bought a house in Jiangnan and fixed it that his belly was revealed, and Zhang found out that he was pregnant.
Fortunately, the daughter didn't have any strange opinion of her because of this, so she persuaded her to open it, and even said that the child was God, seeing that they were lonely, and gave such a gift.
With the relief of his daughter, Zhang's heart was also relaxed.After being pregnant in October, she gave birth to Brother Ba.This child is also considerate.After Zhang's stomach pain.The child was born in less than half an hour.And Ben did not suffer any crimes.
Brother Ba was born white and chubby.One big eyes, not to mention how cute.Twelve days old, it seems to be able to read sensible.Yes, it makes Zhang's like it more and more.
I don't know anyone in Jiangnan, and I don't walk around with my neighbors, and I am not afraid of being gossiped about when I arrive.
Seeing the two children sweating at their heads, Zhang took out a handkerchief and called the two of them to stop. Okay.It's a hot day.Look at the sweat.Peach Blossom is a sister.I don't look like a sister at all.You're a big girl."
Peach Blossom didn't go to her heart, she only pulled Brother Ba to Zhang's body and let her wipe her sweat. Don't scold your sister."
Zhang nodded his nose." My mother said, "You're on it.,Then don't scold my sister and scold you."
Brother Ba puffed out his chest." I'm a man, I'm not afraid of scolding, just scold me."
He was so amused that Zhang and Peach Blossom laughed, and it was almost noon, and Peach Blossom put away the idea of playing." Mother, it's so hot, let's eat cold noodles at noon, I'll do it, you and Brother Ba also go into the house, don't get heat stroke."
Over the years, although I have money in my hands, I haven't bought anyone in the family except for these three people, everything is done by Peach Blossom herself.
After several years of practice, the skill of peach blossom cooking has also become more sophisticated, and even Zhang's taste has been slowly raised.
Brother Ba slapped on the side when he heard this." I'm going to eat two big bowls."
Peach Blossom smiled and said Okay.The three people walked from the garden to the courtyard.This house is a two-way house.The courtyard that entered the gate was changed into a garden by Peach Blossom.The courtyard at the back was inhabited by a kitchen.The three people lived and did not crowd.
After all, Brother Ba is still young, and he has a room with Zhang's family, and Peach Blossom is afraid to sleep by himself, so he lives in the east house opposite.
The peach blossom kneaded the dough, rolled it into a thin sheet, folded it back and forth into a strip, and cut it into the thinnest shreds with a knife.
After the water boils, put the noodles in, pull them out with cold water, and use the condiments to bring out the juice in another basin, and the cold noodles are ready.
With shredded cucumbers, put some chili oil, cool in the mouth, take a bite in this hot summer, not to mention how appetizing it is.
Zhang's hot appetite is not good these days, and he has eaten two big bowls and a large pot of noodles.
"What do you have to be fat if you eat like this?" Zhang cleaned up the table and sat down to drink iced tea.
Iced tea is made by peach blossoms with cold water from the well and honey with flower petals.
"Now the conditions at home are good, you can eat whatever you want, my mother is afraid of getting fat, I remember that it was difficult for us to eat a full meal during the New Year."
Peach Blossom didn't mean to provoke Zhang's sadness.It's just a feeling.All these years have passed.Now there is Brother Ba.The things of the year Zhang didn't take it to heart for a long time.
"No, it was hard for you at that time, the children of poor families were in charge of the house, and my mother was also incapacitated, otherwise I wouldn't have let you suffer so much."
In the end, Zhang complained about himself.
"Mother, it's all over, besides, you're a woman, what can you do at that time, the Cheng family eats people and doesn't spit out bones."
Zhang glanced at the sleeping brother and sighed softly. This is also my mother's life."
Fortunately, now I have Brother Ba, and I will have someone to rely on in the future, and I will find a good mother-in-law for Peach Blossom in the future, and then I will marry a daughter-in-law for Brother Ba.
"By the way, Brother Lu sent a letter saying that the shops in the capital are good, and when the autumn comes, let people send the account to us to see. In the past few years, in order not to let people know about the existence of Brother Ba, they have been careful to contact the Hou Mansion in the capital.
Zhang knew her daughter's worries." So be it."
Besides, those were given to them by the old lady Qian, and if they were not given to them, they would be Brother Lu.
The mother and daughter agreed.In the evening, I heard someone knocking on the door.The sound was very loud.It can be seen that it took a lot of strength.Peach Blossom ran over quickly.
"Who?" When he opened the door, he thought it was a meat deliverer, but when he saw the person standing outside the door, he was surprised.
Brother Ba also ran over." Sister, who is it?"
Seeing the stranger on the door, the people at the outer door were also surprised when they saw Brother Ba.
