Yun Zhibai gently handed the sleeping child to Xi Niang, Xi Niang put her on the bed and covered her with a thick coat, this day is getting colder and colder.

At the beginning, Yun Zhibai saw that she was getting closer and closer to the due date of giving birth to the child, and strongly insisted on going to the city of Yunjin City to buy charcoal and iron smokers, and he objected for a few days, Yun Zhibai just said that even if he ate less, he would buy this heating smoker for her mother.

In the past, when there were only the two of them, every year in late autumn and winter, just a few more beds were covered, and in the cold winter, it was cold and shivering, but it was not to freeze bad people, the price of two iron smokers was not expensive, but charcoal was not cheap.

The price of charcoal needed for a winter is enough for her and Jinwen to chew for ten days, but although he is against it, in the end he still can't resist Yun Zhibai, he said that the weather is slowly getting colder, and he is in the confinement period.

With the charcoal iron smoker, this year's winter is definitely warmer than before, and now the late autumn is better, if there is a snow and frost day, the bed is covered with more quilts, and the house is still cold.

"Xi Niang, Xi'er is asleep, then you can also rest, I will go out to drink a sip of flax porridge first, and after drinking, I will kill the big black and cook it, and add lunch to you, but ah, this big black is really difficult to catch, the thief is very good, it seems to understand my words, I persuaded it last night, and today I still refuse to catch it obediently, I have been caught for a long time in the morning, and I still can't catch it, so if I can't eat it for lunch, then I can only wait for it to fall asleep at night and then I will secretly catch it." Yun Zhibai had a headache when he thought of the fast running big black, and he couldn't catch it during the day, so he could only wait for the evening to find another time.

"Zhibai, I can teach you a good way, you go to the yard now to see the big black, it must still be in the old place, eat insects in the soil under the locust tree, if you walk over casually, you must pretend not to care, let it mistakenly think that you just walked over, it will look at you, see that you just walked past, it must have lowered its head to eat insects, at this time, your opportunity has come, you will rush over to catch it, this is my unique secret to catch the rooster, this is to teach you, In the past, I came to catch it, and this is the first time you practice, you must have to practice a few more times, after all, you also know that the big black is the most thief among so many roosters and hens. ”

"Then I'll try it according to the lady's method, if I catch it in the morning, I will eat it for lunch, and if I catch it in the afternoon, I will eat it for dinner, anyway, today's big black will not escape, Xi Niang, you were born yesterday Xi'er's vitality was greatly injured, and today you have to make up for it."

Yun Zhibai said as he took out the soup woman in the bedding of the shelf, the hot water in it was already cold, go out and pour hot water into this soup woman and then bring it in to Xi Niang, so that the futon was a little warmer.

Yun Zhibai held the food box and the cold soup woman, pushed open the door and went out, the sky was already bright, and the sunlight passed through the cracks of the lush trees in the yard, densely sprinkled down, spreading the entire yard like a net, the whole yard suddenly brightened, and the hen led the chicks to sprinkle the soil and eat insects in the vegetable field outside the yard.

Da Hei is still the same, he loves the pile of dirt under the locust tree, and he uses chicken feet to dig and plane, trying to find a few insects, but in fact, there are no insects there at all, but Da Hei loves the locust tree, and likes to go to the locust tree every day to stay under the tree for a while.

Yun Zhibai looked at Da Hei's lively appearance, thinking that it was going to be cut throat later, and when it was lying in boiling water, he was a little unbearable, but this is Da Hei's chicken life, and he can't raise it for a lifetime.

While thinking about it, he sighed and walked to the kitchen, first filled the soup woman with boiling water, then closed the lid tightly, and sent Xi Niang to the house, Xi Niang had already slept, and he put the soup woman at the foot of Xi Niang's futon and went out of the house.

Yun Zhibai went to the pot again and put a bowl of leftover flax porridge, and thought while drinking, this big black, is it better to stew or braised it, it would be more delicious if it was roasted over charcoal fire, but Xi Niang's confinement is still lighter, just stew, stew big black chicken.

Yun Zhibai finished breakfast and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, walked out of the kitchen and came to the yard, sure enough, Da Hei was still leisurely digging the soil with his left foot under the locust tree, pecking at the mud with his mouth, he pretended not to see it and walked over, Da Hei glanced at him quickly, and when he found that there was no danger, he lowered his head to peck at the soil, saying that it was too late and that was fast, Yun Zhibai grabbed the chicken in the middle of the Weng as soon as he turned around.

The method taught by Xi Niang is really good, no, Da Hei is fluttering his wings in his hands, struggling with a cooing in his mouth, a pair of eyes staring at Yun Zhibai fiercely, Yun Zhibai can't care about its eyes, he walked straight to the kitchen, picked up the kitchen knife, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and wiped it towards Da Hei's neck.

Suddenly, the blood on the big black neck spurted directly, but I didn't expect that although the big black was wiped on his neck, he was still fluttering there, and the chicken blood was splashed everywhere on the ground, Yun Zhibai immediately hurriedly pressed the big black neck in the big bowl.

Da Hei struggled for the last two times, and Yun Zhibai closed its open corn, and Da Hei said goodbye to his favorite locust tree forever, ending its chicken life.

Yun Zhibai wiped the blood splashed on the ground with a broken curtain, on weekdays, this work of killing chickens and fish is still done by Xi Niang, every time I see Xi Niang's knife falling into her hand, the knife is as neat and crisp as the mess, the ground is clean, I don't think it's difficult to look at it, but if I really do it, I still have to be in a hurry.

It seems that this ordinary housework looks simple, but it is actually tedious and hard, after this day, you have to help Xi Niang share a little, although she also cooks, but it is also a period of time in the academy, a few days, in recent years, it is really a loss for Xi Niang to follow him through a few years of hard life, like a big rich man's family, there is no need to do their own work and cook.

After the ground was cleaned up, Yun Zhibai boiled the water again, took a hot bath for Da Hei, and then plucked the chicken feathers on Da Hei's body, cleaned up and cut Da Hei At noon, Jin Wen put Da Hei in a big iron pot and stewed, and after a while, the fragrant smell floated out.

"Xi Niang, Xi'er, Da Hei is here, you can eat more today." Yun Zhibai carried a food box, which contained rice, Da Hei and other side dishes, pushed open the door, and the sunlight followed his footsteps into the room, and it was bright.

There are two women he loves the most in the house, and he suddenly feels that companionship seems to be the best intention, speaking of heart, Yun Zhibai thinks that tomorrow is the day of the market in Yunjin City, and he will have to get up early to go to Yunjin City tomorrow.

took the monthly advance to his uncle, and bought some food and clothing for Xi Niang, after all, Xi Niang risked her life to give birth to a caring little padded jacket for him, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to repay it in his life.

Before dawn, Yan'er and Huan'er had already gotten up from the east side room, which was a habit they had always developed as maids.

They lit the lantern and tidied up the bed, and when the young general cried for the last time in the middle of the night, Yan'er hurriedly sent him to the third lady's main room, and the third lady nursed him, so she left the young general in the room, and then told her to go to the east side of the room to rest.

Yan'er changed her dirty clothes, she had always liked it, so she picked up a white skirt from the shelf and put it on, and then put on a smoky gray narrow-sleeved short Ru with a round neck and placket, and put on a pair of round-headed shoes on her little feet.

In the end, Huan'er is a few months younger than Yan'er, she took a pink skirt, and then put on a water-green short Confucian, and wore a pair of cloud-shaped double shoes on her feet, the whole person looked lively and bright, the weather was getting colder, the caftam was too thin, and the maids had already changed into short Confucians, so that they could withstand the cold wind when working outside the house.

After Yan'er put on her regular clothes, she pushed her to the dresser, "Sister Yan'er, sit down, what kind of bun do you want to comb, Yan'er will comb it for you personally, today is the reward day of the General's Mansion, Sister Yan'er has to dress up well, after all, Sister Yan'er saved the young general's life last night." ”

"Huan'er, shut up, you are talking nonsense here again, you cried there when Mrs. gave birth yesterday and I didn't have time to teach you a lesson afterwards, and now you dare to talk nonsense here, you can't remember what the general told us last night, I think you have thrown it out of your mind this morning."

As soon as Yan'er heard Yan'er speak openly, her brows furrowed, her face immediately sank, and her voice became louder, "Yan'er, this is the General's Mansion, you must think twice before you speak, if you say the wrong thing and be pinched by others, you can't even save your little life!" Today, if you accidentally say that you leak your mouth in front of me, it is no big deal, if he leaks his mouth outside in the future, and is listened to by someone with a heart, if the general blames it at that time, even the third lady will not be able to protect you! ”

The more Yan'er thought about it, the more angry she became, she kicked at the head lowered, and sat down in front of the dresser with her back in annoyance.

She only saw the general's favorite wife, but she couldn't see the dark tide surging in the general's mansion, the delicate relationship between the ladies, and she could teach her a good lesson.

"Sister Yan'er, I'm sorry, I know it's wrong, I was quick to speak, and I blurted it out without thinking about it, oops, fortunately I wasn't listened to by outsiders, if I was listened to by outsiders, the general would know......"

Standing behind Yan'er, Huan'er saw that Yan'er's sister was so angry, and knew that she must have made a big mistake in speaking this time, she was anxious and annoyed, and slapped her cherry mouth twice with her jade hand, and felt that she didn't use enough force to not hurt and not let herself remember for a long time, and slapped it hard, and the already ruddy cherry mouth instantly turned redder and swollen slightly.

"Okay, you have to remember, the young general has been crying loudly since Mrs. Da was born, healthy and safe, you just remember it in your mind, why embarrass yourself." Smoke, who was sitting in front of the dresser, heard the sound behind her, turned around and grabbed her hand.
