Chapter 36 Opening the Well
The mother and daughter in the room were discussing louder and louder, completely unaware that the two people outside the house were listening to these words.
"Come on, it seems that this beam is settled, originally I thought that it would be a family after all, and it seems that I don't have to be polite in the future." Zhou Xinzhi hooked the corners of her lips, but the smiling person felt a chill in his heart.
Du Lisheng around him is also sincere, what kind of family can do such an intolerable thing.
Is Bilian still a normal person this week? Actually tried his best to trap his sister? also ruined his reputation, which really opened his eyes.
"I'll ...... past" The anger in his heart became heavier and heavier, and he wanted to rush in and beat the two people in the room now.
"Okay, what's the use of you going in, let them jump for a while, since everyone is ready to attack me, I won't be able to say it if I don't fight back." Zhou Xinzhi smiled faintly.
Since Bilian wants to find death this week, how can he do it if she doesn't fulfill it, isn't it to ruin her reputation? Let's see how capable this woman is.
In his hand he was holding a small bowl of meat, which contained the braised pork made today, and some pork liver and other things.
She thought that she couldn't eat alone, otherwise she would be known and said, so she divided some into the second and third rooms, although the Li family was mean on weekdays, but today it is rare that there is no trickery, she also thinks that the people of the Du family are divided, and she must also send some to her mother's family, but this gift will be a problem.
Holding the meat bowl, Zhou Xinzhi turned around and stepped out of the yard, and happened to meet Aunt Liu who came back, Zhou Xinzhi was happy in her heart, she might as well give Zhou Bilian a 'surprise'!
"Isn't this Xinzhi? How come home at night. "Aunt Liu has always disliked Zhang Chrysanthemum, and she scurries around every day with her waist twisted, and she can't say what it looks like! So even with her, she didn't have a good attitude towards Zhou Bilian and Zhou Xinzhi.
But in the end, Xinzhi is a kind girl, and she is also well-behaved on weekdays, and she doesn't hate it so much, but this week Bilian and Zhang Ju are simply a character, and she really doesn't like it.
"Alas, I originally sent some food to my father today, my father's health has not been good, and he is still recuperating from his injuries for a while, but I heard my sister and my mother in the courtyard who is scolding a cheap hoof, and I don't dare to go in and just forget it, just meet you, aunt, this meat is still hot, you take it back and eat it."
Zhou Xinzhi hung a wry smile, and her eyes flashed slightly, as if she was about to cry.
Aunt Liu shook her head, of course she knew what kind of character Zhang Juhua was, who this cheap hoof was talking about, she couldn't say it clearly, so she could only take the meat bowl distressedly, "Okay, you go back first, I'll send this meat for you." ”
She really couldn't imagine that this chrysanthemum was so biased, they were all children born by herself, how could she be like this?
"Aunt Liu doesn't have to be so troublesome, how about you try my craftsmanship." Zhou Xinzhi didn't follow her words, she just wanted to create this situation.
This Aunt Liu doesn't like Zhang Juhua, and she is a jealous person, so this matter, I'm afraid there will be a good show.
"Let's go, just go home and eat in peace." Zhou Xinzhi clapped her hands, where is there still the pitiful strength of Fang Cai.
Du Lisheng shook his head helplessly, this week's family is really dishonest, and they always can't learn to eat a trench and grow wise.
Back home, Zhou Xinzhi had a rare comfortable dinner, and added a bowl of rice in a good mood, after eating, Zhou Xinzhi went to the side to prepare pickles, and Du Lisheng sat on the side to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.
"Xiao Tongzi, exchange the pile around me, only this pile can, and none of them anywhere else can be." Zhou Xinzhi said uneasily, if this guy took all the herbs away, she would not have to study them.
"Ding, the owner's F value has been exchanged, a total of 50F value."
Zhou Xinzhi sighed in her heart, picked a basket of medicines, and finally compared to an old mountain ginseng, thinking about it, this mountain ginseng is not very easy to pick, but this herb is a big handful!
Wash the radish and pickles, put them in a bowl and add fine salt to kill the water.
"Xiao Tongzi, exchange it for five more packets of salt, a jar of aged vinegar and soy sauce." Zhou Xinzhi's hand movements did not stop.
"Master, what you asked for has been delivered."
Zhou Xinzhi nodded, looking at the vegetables in the pot, this is just an ordinary jar of pickles, but it is so liked by the people here, she can even meet the situation where she counts the money and counts her hands to cramps in the future.
After finishing everything that needs to be done, Zhou Xinzhi stretched her waist and prepared to go back to the house to rest.
Sitting on the bed, Zhou Xinzhi remembered what she was going to say today, "Mr. Shen, we still have to take the time to make amends, I have prepared an extra jar of pickles, let's try it then." ”
Zhou Xinzhi snorted coldly and spoke, God knows that she doesn't want to make amends for the unreasonable person in the second room at all, but there is no way, since she has achieved the position of sister-in-law, even if she is unwilling, she has to do this thing beautifully.
"Hasn't the lady always disliked the second room?" Du Lisheng was also a little surprised, with the lady's disgust for the second room, he was really surprised, she would take the initiative to make amends for the second room.
In fact, if Xin Zhi doesn't say anything about this matter, he will also come forward, no matter what, he is a member of his Du family, and he is still a male baby, he must be literate and read, not wasted, and this child is not bad, but he was brought bad by the Li family.
sighed, and said that mothers are more defeated, and this time Du Lisheng also understood what it meant.
"Although I hate the Li family, Du Ziyang is still young, and a little discipline can't be like now, I can be regarded as compassionate, but I can't always ask outsiders to say, our two elders don't care about the juniors in the family, it's not good for anyone to spread this, besides, in this way, to get a good reputation, it can also make Zhou Bilian's plan fail."
What does Zhou Bilian rely on, does she just rely on Zhang Juhua to obey her words, and rely on her Zhou Xinzhi's relationship with the village? But it's not certain who will die in this matter!
The next day, Zhou Xinzhi got up early in the morning, marinated the vegetables with sauce, and then put them in the temporary cellar that had been dug to marinate.
Today they did not go into the city, but got up early in the morning and went to the orchard.
The fruit trees that were originally wilting have absorbed fertilizer and have more energy in the past few days, Zhou Xinzhi nodded, the work of digging the well is nearing the end today, and the stones for paving the well can just use the gravel at the foot of the mountain, which is really convenient.
Zhou Xinzhi picked an apple casually, wiped it clean and took a bite.
"Hmm...... The juice is average, and there is a slight sourness, and it seems that it is still lacking in nutrients. She suddenly lost interest, hastily solved the apple and continued her work.
Although the nutrient solution is not much, if each of the plants in this orchard takes a little bit, it is enough, and it seems that this nutrient solution will also cost a lot of money in the future.
When she had finished filling each plant with some nutrient solution, the sun would rise above her head.
"I've dug up the water!" This sound made Zhou Xinzhi happy in her heart, but she didn't expect the well to be dug so soon, "I'll rest for a while, and after noon, I will directly finish the well, and I can water it tomorrow." ”
Du Lisheng lifted the corner of his clothes to wipe away the beads of sweat, such a casual appearance was also a little uninhibited, Zhou Xinzhi coughed lightly and looked away with a red face.
Then he poured some water from the kettle he had brought and handed it over.
"I see that it is going to rain in the next few days, and this well is also hard work, so you better rest and rest." Zhou Xinzhi was a little reluctant, although she hoped to raise the plants earlier, but she couldn't let Du Lisheng work too hard.
After all, if this body is consumed too much, it is not simply a matter of raising it for a few days.
"I'm fine, it's just a little bit of strength, and I can hold on." Du Lisheng rubbed her hair to reassure her.
So in the afternoon of the same day, Du Lisheng quickly handled the rest of the digging of the well, although he was tired and sore, but now it was all over, and his heart was much more relaxed.
Zhou Xinzhi looked at his frequent frowning appearance, and probably guessed that he must be uncomfortable, and under the remnant sun, the two of them walked home slowly.
"Tomorrow, I will go to the city to deliver pickles, and by the way, I will go to the Lin family's shop, and you will be able to recuperate at home for a day, and you are not allowed to go up the mountain, and I will bring you food when I come back." Zhou Xinzhi straightened her face and said seriously.
There was a sudden feeling of pity in my heart.
Du Lisheng wanted to refuse, but looking at the little woman's straight face, he couldn't bear to brush off her kindness, but he didn't worry about the little lady entering the city alone.
"My body will rest for the night." Du Lisheng did not forget to defend himself.
Zhou Xinzhi glared back unhappily, "If you want to be strong, don't expect me to take care of you if you can't get up the day after tomorrow!" ”
She didn't know what she was angry about, but as long as she heard that this man didn't care for her body, she was unhappy for a while, turned her head, and walked home by herself awkwardly, no matter what, since this man didn't pay attention to herself, what use did she care.
Du Lisheng looked at the little lady like this, and his heart was really sweet and helpless, and the sweet thing was that he found out that Xin Zhi also had him in his heart, but helplessly, he didn't want to look at her unhappy.
"Okay, I'll go to Mr. Wei's to find some ointment, and the lady will wait for me here." Du Lisheng raised his hand, but the next second he gasped, it was indeed he who was able to do it, but he had been looking forward to the well being dug before, so he was a little anxious, so he finished the matter in one go.
"There you go." Zhou Xinzhi nodded, and then sat on the side of the road and waited for Du Li to come out.
Sighing, she really didn't like her complicated feelings.
Here, Du Lisheng came to Wei Qingsui's courtyard with his body propped up, but fortunately, Wei Qingsui was in the courtyard, and he didn't have to bother to raise his hand and knock on the door.
"Mr. Du, this is ......" Wei Qing was a little surprised, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold his arm.
