Chapter 5 Bean Sprouts and Croppers
That night, Chen Chunhua and the three brothers of the Zhao family stared widely, looking at the few crops in front of them who were as strong as cattle, and then looked at their bean sprouts, Chen Chunhua couldn't help but be embarrassed.
"Sleep!" After the boss finished speaking, he took the futon on the cabinet and spread it on the kang. Although the three brothers finally married their daughter-in-law, it was really bad to see their daughter-in-law like this.
Chen Chunhua got on the kang and looked at the three brothers. "I'm sleepy!"
The second child scratched his head, received the boss's eyes, and immediately turned over the kang head, pulled his quilt and wrapped it around his body, and patted the position next to him. "Daughter-in-law sleeps here!"
Seeing this, Chen Chunhua breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, thinking that a few of them were still a little commonsense, so she got into the futon without thinking about it and wrapped herself tightly.
This is different from a daughter-in-law, the three brothers are so crowded on a kang when they are young, the third can only sleep next to the second child according to the previous sleeping method, and the old nature is the same as the second child, one left and one right sleep next to Chen Chunhua.
"Sleep!" After the boss finished speaking, he blew out the kerosene lamp. Suddenly, the room became pitch black, and Chen Chunhua no longer felt sleepy, not to mention that she slept for a while in the afternoon, in this case, she couldn't sleep. Who knows if the three people of the third watch in the middle of the night will be wolf-like, hungry and hungry to her bean sprouts?
Regardless of whether this worry is unnecessary or not, it is always good to be vigilant, and in modern times, there is a sense of the viewpoint of love before sex, and suddenly it becomes like this, and even individuals cannot accept it immediately.
The three brothers of the Zhao family did not fall asleep immediately, and the longing for their daughter-in-law in their hearts was not nothing, and now that they finally married their daughter-in-law, they couldn't move while lying together, how could the three big men have no idea in their hearts.
The four of them slept for a while, and the second child couldn't help it, and put his hand into Chen Chunhua's quilt little by little, Chen Chunhua immediately noticed the movement, and moved his body unconsciously.
When the boss saw Chen Chunhua move over, he looked up and slapped the second child's dishonest arm.
The second child wailed. "Big brother, what are you doing?"
When the third child heard this, he immediately sat up. "Second brother, I'll exchange with you!"
"No change, no change!" The second child quickly shook his head and withdrew his hand. The third child saw that the second child was unwilling, so he had to retract into the bed.
The boss tucked the quilt for Chen Chunhua and said. "Second child, my daughter-in-law wants to sleep, if you dare to quarrel with her, Ming'er will clean up the house next door with sundries and make a bunk."
When the second child heard this, he immediately quit. "Big brother, why am I arguing with my daughter-in-law, I just want to hug my daughter-in-law, but this can't be done?"
Chen Chunhua was excited, she was used to sleeping alone, in the Chen family, it was okay to sleep with a few people and women, but now it was a man lying next to her, she couldn't calm down even if she wanted to. "What, me"
"What does the daughter-in-law want to say?" When the boss heard Chen Chunhua's voice, he immediately asked.
Chen Chunhua moved her body and approached the boss's side. "I want to sleep with you!" This boss gives her the feeling that she is still relatively reliable, after all, she is the boss, and her self-control is relatively strong.
The boss felt Chen Chunhua's approach, her long hair spread to his face, sniffing the hair with a faint fragrance, the boss raised his head shamefully somewhere.
Thinking of his reaction, the boss subconsciously moved his body back. "My daughter-in-law can sleep whenever she wants!"
Chen Chunhua moved her head, adjusted her sleeping position, and slowly closed her eyes. But she didn't feel sleepy at all, and after a while, the second child's snoring was heard.
The third child hadn't slept at the moment, and stabbed the second child with his hand, and the second child muttered, turned over, and put his hand out of the quilt on Chen Chunhua.
Chen Chunhua was startled by this sudden movement, and saw that the second child's hand was just on her, and her stiff body relaxed.
At this time, the eldest gently took the second child's hand away, saw that Chen Chunhua was not awakened, put his quilt on her quilt, and hugged Chen Chunhua with a big hand.
Chen Chunhua opened her eyes and didn't dare to move. The boss didn't make the next move, and Chen Chunhua pretended to be asleep and twisted his body.
Tonight was spent safely, and it wasn't until the second half of the night that Chen Chunhua noticed that someone got up in a daze, looked around, and realized that Lu Dao was the boss.
Chen Chunhua didn't care, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
The boss stood outside the door and blew a cold wind, until he felt the coldness on his body, then he shook his body and went back to the back room, and got on the kang lightly. Although the boss didn't have anything to say, he was thoughtful, and of course he could see Chen Chunhua's frightened look.
For the three brothers, the daughter-in-law is precious, and it is used to hurt, not to be wasted. Before going to bed, the three brothers discussed in the kitchen that they must not scare their daughter-in-law, and this matter must be done slowly.
The next morning, after Chen Chunhua woke up, she was the only one on the kang, and their quilts and pillows had been packed up.
Yawned, Chen Chunhua stretched his waist and picked up his clothes and got off the kang, as soon as he pushed the door open, the third child walked out of the kitchen with a wooden basin.
Seeing that Chen Chunhua woke up, she said with a smile on her face. "Daughter-in-law, you're awake, come, wash your face and eat!" As he spoke, he placed the tub on the shelf, and tore off the handkerchief on it to wash his face and put it in the water to wet it.
Chen Chunhua frowned, this washing of her face, she remembered that she had not brushed her teeth since she woke up from rebirth.
Seeing that the third child handed over the wet washcloth, Chen Chunhua took the handkerchief and nodded. "I'll do it myself!"
"Okay, daughter-in-law wash first, I'll go serve you breakfast!" Seeing the third child enter the kitchen, Chen Chunhua immediately wiped her teeth with a washcloth.
After washing, the third child served hot white flour steamed buns and a bowl of corn paste, as well as a small bowl of pickles.
"What about them?" Chen Chunhua ate steamed buns and looked up at Lao Sandao, who was busy working on the side.
The third child raised his chin. "The eldest brother and the second brother have gone to the ground!"
Chen Chunhua stopped talking, and after eating, she squatted beside the third child, watching him weave bamboo strips with his hands unhurriedly, and pointed to the semi-finished road next to him. "What's this for?"
"Grain, the potatoes and melons in the field should be harvested in a few days, take advantage of the free time of these days, get more grain, so that you can be busy!" The third child said, looked at Chen Chunhua, and the more she looked at her, the more she liked it, and couldn't help but say. "Daughter-in-law, are you full?"
"Full!" Chen Chunhua stared at the movements of the third child, and saw his technique in his eyes, like this kind of handicraft is common in this place, and ordinary people generally don't buy it outside.
"Daughter-in-law, put aside this leg numbness, do you want to take a look around?" The third child put down the bamboo strip here, took Chen Chunhua and walked out of the door.
Looking at the small courtyard, it is very clean, there is a tree in the middle of the courtyard, I raised my eyes and looked at it, it was full of golden fruits, a bit like citrus, but not like it, pointed to the fruit on the tree and asked. "What's this?"
"Stinky mandarin, it tastes better after a while, and it's still sour!" The third child said and pulled Chen Chunhua to the edge of the fence by the courtyard wall. "What does my daughter-in-law like to raise, these are all made a few days ago."
Chen Chunhua nodded, this place is good for raising some poultry, but now that this season has reached autumn, it is not suitable.
After walking around the small courtyard, the third child saw that Chen Chunhua didn't want to go anymore, so he took out a small stool from the hall and put it in front of her. "Daughter-in-law, sit down, I'll go and light the fire, and the eldest brother and second brother should come back later."
Seeing the third brother enter the kitchen, Chen Chunhua also followed into the kitchen, looked at the kitchen, and couldn't help but think that these three brothers still love to be clean, and they are all neatly clean, and they really can't see it.
Seeing Chen Chunhua coming in, the third child took out a hot potato melon from the stove with tongs, patted the ash on it, and handed it to her. "Just simmered, this year's potatoes and melons are sweet!"
Chen Chunhua bore potatoes and melons, and poured them twice on his hands, which was hot and could be used to warm his hands. "What should I call you?" Do you want to call Xianggong?
The third child's face was hot, and he added a few sticks of firewood to the stove and said. "My daughter-in-law can call me whatever she likes, and when she is away from home, everyone calls me the third child."
"Then, I'll call me the third brother, what's the matter?" Let her call Xianggong, that is absolutely unacceptable, not to mention what others have heard, she thinks it is funny when she thinks about it.
The third child smiled innocently. "Done!"
Chen Chunhua watched the third child busy with work, she simply sat in front of the stove, added firewood to it from time to time, and after eating a potato melon, a warmth surged in her heart, the autumn here is also relatively cold, and there was such a gust of wind blowing outside the yard, and the face felt dry.
At this time, there were footsteps outside, and when I heard the movement, I knew that the eldest and second were back.
The second child put down the hoe and ran to the back room, looking at the daughter-in-law who was still sleeping on the kang in the morning, this would be gone, the second child was anxious, and ran out to look at the old avenue. "Big brother, our daughter-in-law is gone!"
The eldest glanced at the second child. "Why are you panicking, my daughter-in-law is not in the kitchen!" When the second child heard this, he hurriedly looked at it, and Chen Chunhua was looking at him.
The second child smiled, "Look at me this confused, why can't my daughter-in-law disappear!" ”
When Chen Chunhua heard this, she burst out laughing, this second child is really a fool, what do you say.
Seeing Chen Chunhua smiling at herself, the second child didn't think there was anything, but looked at Chen Chunhua's smiling face, grinned, and said. "My daughter-in-law looks so good when she smiles!"
"Come on, I'm stunned, hurry up and dry the potato and melon vines, and pickle them at night!" The eldest put down the hoe and pushed the second child, and the second child walked out of the hall.
Hearing this, Chen Chunhua stood up and looked at the old avenue. "I'm here to help, too!"
"What are you busy with, it's enough to have a second child, you just sit there, it's windy outside!" The boss waved his hand and left the hall.
Chen Chunhua didn't know that the potato and melon vines could also be used to make pickles, and when she came to this place, she finally satisfied her unique taste, and she rarely ate that kind of authentic rural food from the countryside to the city.
The potato melon they talk about is called sweet potato or sweet potato in modern times, and the name is different in different places.
Chen Chunhua didn't follow the boss's words, she stretched her neck and looked at the two brothers in the yard, and saw that the young vines they had picked were spread out on a pile made of bamboo strips, and all the young vines were dried in three strokes.
