Chapter 84: Husband and Wife (Five Watches)

The days on Zhuangzi are leisurely.

The courtyard is surrounded by farmhouses, and many farmers also come to the Zhuangzi to help out during the busy farming season of the autumn harvest to earn more household income.

Chang Runzhi stayed in the Zhuangzi for two days, and listened to the steward teach him some methods and experiences in managing the Zhuangzi, so he couldn't help but leave the village to see the life of the farmer.

On the country road, a woman was pulling her naughty son's ears and rushing home, a tall and stocky peasant man was hurrying with a farm tool, and an old woman was carrying a basket in her hand and smiling towards the field......

Occasionally, a few barking dogs and pig howls can be heard, as well as a symphony of chickens and ducks clucking.

Compared with the Hou Mansion and the Prince's Mansion, you can only smell the fragrant fragrance of the earth here, and even the air feels a lot fresher.

Chang Runzhi couldn't help but close his eyes and took a deep breath.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a small turnip head wearing a patched garment and a runny nose standing in front of him.

Chang Runzhi smiled at him, and was about to squat down to talk to him, but unexpectedly, the child turned his head and ran, looking back at her as he ran, and seeing that she didn't catch up, he stopped hesitantly.

Wei Zi laughed and said, "Girl, that little doll is afraid of you!" ”

Chang Runzhi said with a smile: "It is appropriate for a child to be afraid of strangers, which shows that he is vigilant. ”

Wei Zi puffed out her cheeks and said, "The girl is a good person at first glance." ”

"Knowing people, knowing faces, but not hearts."

Chang Runzhi laughed and beckoned to the child: "Why are you here alone?" Where's your mom and dad? ”

The boy kept his distance from her, and snort burrowed back into his nostrils.

Wei Zi couldn't help grinning, and the little doll said, "Daddy and mother go to the ground." He sniffled again: "Who are you?" ”

Chang Runzhi blinked: "Guess? ”

"I don't guess!" Although the little doll said this, the next sentence guessed: "Are you a matchmaker?" ”

Wei Zi suddenly said, "Your matchmaker looks like this?" ”

"The matchmaker wears red and green!" The little doll said strangely: "She is dressed beautifully." ”

Wei Zi almost laughed, pointed at the child and said, "My girl is much more beautiful than the matchmaker!" ”

"Well, she looks better than a matchmaker." The little doll nodded sincerely.

Chang Runzhi couldn't laugh or cry, and after a while, he shook his head and said, "Thank you for complimenting me on my beauty." ”

Probably because of Chang Run's good face and listening to her thanks, the little doll was less vigilant.

He tilted his head to look at Chang Runzhi and asked repeatedly, "You haven't said whether you are a matchmaker or not?" ”

Chang Runzhi shook his head and said, "I'm not." ”

"And what are you?"

"Hmm......" Chang Runzhi pointed to the courtyard in the village courtyard and said, "I am the owner of that courtyard." ”

The little doll obviously didn't believe it: "You're a woman!" ”

"yes, I'm a woman, what's wrong?" Chang Runzhi asked him with a smile.

The little doll pointed to each other: "Isn't that where the landlord lives?" The landlord should be a white-bearded grandfather, a man! ”

Yao Huang and Wei Zi immediately laughed, Chang Runzhi thought for a while and replied, "I am the daughter of the landlord." ”

"I see! So what should I call you? The little doll pouted: "Sister landlord? ”

Chang Runyi smiled: "You can call me Sister Chang." Chang Runzhi asked him, "What's your name?" ”

"Dog leftovers!"

As soon as the little doll proudly reported her name, someone shouted in response: "Dog leftover!" ”

The dog hurriedly turned around and said loudly: "Dad, mother, I'm here!" ”

Chang Runzhi looked in the direction of the sound and saw that it was a young couple, the man was holding a sickle in his hand, his trousers were pulled up, and his straw sandals were stained with mud; The woman's cloth wrapped around her head, and she carried a basket around her wrist, covered with a piece of blue coarse cloth, revealing the coarse porcelain bowl inside.

The dog leftover mother handed the basket to her man, stepped forward and pulled the dog leftover to her, and smiled at Chang Runzhi: "This girl, I'm really sorry, our dog leftover collided with you......"

Chang Runzhi shook his head and said, "No, this kid is quite well-behaved." ”

She smiled and asked, "Are you going home?" ”

"Yes, yes, I'm going to go home and make a fire to cook!" The expression on the dog leftover girl's face was a little relaxed, and she asked Chang Runzhi again: "I don't know if the girl is ......"

Gou Yu hurriedly said: "Mother! She is the landlord's sister! Sister Chang! ”

Gou Yuniang frowned, and Gou Yu pointed to the Zhuang Yuan and said, "Where does she live!" She's the owner there! ”

Gou Yuniang suddenly looked at Chang Runzhi, and the expression on her face became more and more respectful: "It turned out to be a girl from the owner...... I'm sorry, I'm sorry ......."

Chang Runzhi said gently: "No formality...... But why do you call me the host girl? ”

Gou Yuniang pulled the silent man next to him and said with a smile: "When Gou Yu's father is not usually busy with his own fields, he will help the Chang Steward to go to the fruit forest to do some work, and receive some wages for the family." ”

The man nodded and said in a muffled voice: "The salary of the regular steward is generous." ”

The couple chatted with Chang Runzhi for a few words, the woman's face was a little anxious, Chang Runzhi knew that she was in a hurry to go back to cook, so he said: "Don't delay you, take the child back to cook, don't starve him." ”

At this time, the dog snorted and slipped his nose, and the dog leftover mother suddenly embarrassedly took out the handkerchief and asked him to blow out the snot.

"Stained girl, your eyes, I'm sorry, I'm sorry......" The dog leftover apologized again and again, Chang Runzhi smiled and waved his hand: "I had a cold when I was a child, and I was like this, you pay attention to whether he has a cold." When the weather cools down, remember to dress him. ”

The dog leftover mother nodded again and again, and complimented Chang Runzhi a few words, before dragging the dog who didn't want to leave back, and the man followed closely, holding a sickle in one hand and a basket in the other.

"That little doll is so funny." Wei Zi grinned and said, "The girl comes out next time, why don't you call him over to talk and relieve her boredom?" ”

Chang Runzhi shook his head and said with a smile: "The farmer family is busy these days, don't trouble them." ”

Chang Runzhi looked at the back of the couple leaving, and happened to see that the woman wanted to take the basket from the man's hand, the man dodged away, and said something, and the woman laughed, and her side face shone brightly.

She suddenly felt a little envious.

Ordinary people's husbands and wives are probably like this, planning three meals a day, and working all day long for life and children. Although it is very hard, there is always a moment in life that makes people suddenly feel that every qiē is worth it.

"What are you looking at, girl?" Wei Zi shook his hand in front of Chang Runzhi's eyes, and said with a smile: "If the girl is really reluctant to give up that little doll, let Chang Steward find him to accompany you, let's give some silver, and it won't be a trouble for their family." ”

Wei Zi thought that Chang Runzhi was looking at the little doll called Dog Leftover, and the construction he gave was also pertinent.

Chang Runzhi still shook his head and refused.

Wei Zi was puzzled, and asked Yao Huang in private: "I think the idea I gave the girl is very good, why doesn't the girl agree?" ”

Yao Huang thought for a while and said, "The girl probably thinks that it is a kind of fate to meet that little doll, and she doesn't want to tie this fate to gold and silver vulgar things." What's more, if they really gave money to let the little doll talk to the girl, their family must have all kinds of ideas...... You know, the girl is most afraid of trouble. ”

Wei Zi still didn't seem to understand, and sighed: "When you talk to the girl, sometimes people really can't understand ......" (to be continued.) )
