After burying Meow, Uncle Xu also set up a monument for it, and personally wrote an inscription for it, telling the bits and pieces of the two.

For example, Ah Miao stole one of his small dried fish, knocked over his rice bowl, and spilled the old man's soup; Or hooked up with the male cat next door, gave birth to a litter of kittens and abandoned it, and finally thanks to Uncle Xu's help to take care of it, but there were too many cats, or Uncle Xu personally sent them out, so that the peach blossom paradise is now full of cats' descendants.

This inscription is written poignantly, but it is a bit of a sense of turning over old accounts, it seems that although Uncle Xu is old, his memory is not bad at all, and he remembers this little trivial thing.

After that, Uncle Xu was even more lonely, so I had to ask for a kitten from the neighbor's house, and the coat color was almost the same as Meow, and I guessed that it was also a descendant of Meow.

Uncle Xu, who likes the new and hates the old, is very happy to see this little milk cat, and the pain of Meow's death is gradually left behind, and he gives this kitten a loud name, called Miaomiao, very cute, and very energetic every day.

But on the other hand, the husband's body was weak and gradually weakened.

Most of the villagers in the Peach Blossom Garden are healthy and long-lived, and it is not a problem to live one or two hundred years old, but the husband is only in the age of the sixtieth year, but his body is not as good as a day, and he also invited Langzhong, but he can't find out what is wrong, it should be the reason for his old age.

The husband seemed much relieved, and said to me: "Qiu'er don't worry, this should be the destiny of heaven, everyone has their own destiny, and they can't be forced." ”

In the face of the problem of life and death, I have no choice but to resign myself to God, and cherish my husband even more, but it was my husband who was obedient to me, but his temper became irritable day by day, I was naturally very annoyed by this, Uncle Xu comforted me and said: "Old children and old children, Jiuchen This is also human nature, Xiao Qiu'er, don't be like him, you are not still young!" ”

I looked at myself in the mirror, and indeed as Uncle Xu said, I have not changed in the slightest over the years, in contrast, I am more prominent in my husband's old age, his hair is gray, his beard has become longer, his shoulders are not as thick as before, and his voice is becoming more and more hoarse.

"Qiu'er, you washed the dishes." On this day, my husband yelled at me, "Don't think about me doing everything, Qiu'er, you should also stretch out your hand." ”

I listened to a little aggrieved, I used to want to do it, but my husband didn't allow it, now why do you blame me, looking at his sharp eyes, and undulating breathing, I thought about Uncle Xu's words, "old child", then forget it, let him make his temperament first, not with his general knowledge, I took a wooden basin, filled some water, and put the dishes inside.

There was a roar from her husband in her ears again: "Qiu'er, what are you doing here?" Dishes directly inside? You have to remove the roots first, and then remove the yellow leaves, how can you do that? ”

I glared at him, took out the vegetables, removed the roots, and picked some yellow leaves, after doing it, I secretly glanced at my husband, fortunately, this time his face was not so bad, I put the vegetables in the basin to clean, and then handed it to him, he didn't take it, but said: "How can you wash it once, is it difficult to let us eat mud?" ”

"How many washes? You didn't say it......" I took a deep breath to suppress my anger.

The husband frowned, this time he didn't take me into his arms as before, nor did he push me away and said, "I'll come~"

Instead, I stood aside and spoke coldly, with full impatience in my tone, and after washing the dishes, I stood beside him blankly and asked, "Then what am I going to do?" ”

Then a shovel was handed to me: "Stir-fry, cook." ”

For the first time in so many years, he instructed me to do this, in addition to not being used to it, there were also many grievances, although it was understandable to do these as a wife, but for a while I couldn't accept it.

Under the command of my husband, I finished all this in a hurry, so tired that I didn't even want to eat, although it was not heavy work, but it became a habit to be lazy over the years, and it was a little difficult to lose weight.

"Bring these in!" The husband handed me two plates of dishes, and after seeing that I took them, he took the remaining two dishes in his hand and urged me, "Put them in the hall quickly." ”

He didn't say this with any emotion, and he was no longer the husband I knew before, looking at his appearance at this time, I was really aggrieved, and gritted my teeth and threw the dish in my hand to the ground: "What kind of madness are you doing today!" I don't know where to provoke you! ”

After that, he turned around and left, but the husband didn't chase me, remember...... It turned out that no matter what, he would be by my side to protect me and prevent others from hurting me, but why did he do this to me today?

When I returned to the room, I took off my shoes and lay down on the bed, very depressed, and after a while I heard two knocks on the door, and I knew that my husband had returned, and I got up and stared ahead, just waiting for him to come and coax me.

But when I saw my husband coming over and smiling at me, I immediately felt a little proud: I can't hold it back, apologize to me!

A pair of big hands stroked my hair, and my husband's hands were different from before, they were a little rough, like sand, and my face was a little painful.

"Qiu'er, it's hard work today, and the food is delicious."

I pouted coquettishly: "That's nature." ”

When he looked up again, he found that his gaze was a little strange, and then he changed his expression: "Qiu'er, remember to wash the dishes, the food on the table in the hall has not been removed." ”

Xu is aware that Caigang's attitude is not good, this time the husband's words are not as harsh as just now, but he still asked me to do this and that, I am a little dissatisfied: "Why didn't you withdraw after eating just now, I didn't eat again!" ”

After speaking, without waiting for my husband to speak, I lay down again in anger, and only a sigh came from my ears.

I couldn't help but get even more angry: "What? Now I don't like anything else, I can't compare to those good wives and mothers? ”

Seeing him like this, I also turned around and ignored him, but in the second half of the night, I suddenly felt a little hungry, and when I saw my husband who was sleeping on the side, I secretly scolded: "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have woken up hungry!" ”

I came to the hall to see what food was left to eat, and when I came to the hall, I found that my husband had already removed the food, and it seemed that I had just seen that I was not going, so I did it myself.

I just folded to the kitchen, and saw a basket filled with some baked cakes, two small dishes next to it, and a bowl of vegetable soup and two chicken legs, I didn't do these today, for the sake of simplicity and convenience, I only fried three plates of green vegetables and one sugar mixed with tomatoes, and asked me to throw two plates on the ground, presumably they were not enough, and then fried a plate.

Just as I was sitting on the wooden stool, putting the food on the stove and eating with relish, I heard a sound of rustling outside the door, and a sound of tiptoeing, I put down the dishes and chopsticks, looked at it with a pair of eyes, and said in my heart: "Could it be that there is some bad person?" ”

Gradually, the shadow of the man appeared, how it seemed to be with hair, which surprised me a little, over the years I have seen some demons and monsters, but this kind of appearance is the first to see.

Suddenly, I heard the man shout: "Meow~"

I couldn't help but laugh dumbly, it turned out to be wonderful, how did it come over, could it be that it didn't eat enough? Sure enough, it seemed to follow the aroma of the food, a pair of big watery eyes looked at me, the pink/tender little body licked its nose, and its furry paws reached out to me.

"Hungry?" I smiled and gave it a chopstick of fat, but when I saw it eat it cleanly, I licked my mouth after eating, and meowed at me again.

Seeing that it should not have eaten enough, I fed it a few more pieces of meat, but it still didn't work, it seemed that it was not eaten for dinner, I shook my head helplessly and said: "Could it be that because I didn't listen to my husband's words, so that you are also hungry?" ”

At this moment, Uncle Xu also came to the kitchen, and when he saw that I was eating, his eyes were shining, and I realized that things were not good, so I was busy covering them with my hands: "Uncle, what are you doing?" ”

"Hehe, Xiao Qiu'er, what are you eating?" Uncle Xu's eyes were so bright that I couldn't help but tremble, "What do you want to do?" ”

"Don't worry, I don't like you, I want to be your subordinate!"

Uncle Xu said, a hungry tiger rushed to my food, I was busy stuffing it into my mouth, but I am a weak woman, how can I compare to Uncle Xu, an old ghost who has lived for a hundred years? was defeated, and finally Uncle Xu sat on the rattan chair with a full burp and patted his belly, and it was comfortable to hold his teeth with a bamboo stick.

However, I am a "heroine among women", so naturally I can't be defeated, and I haven't lost anything, it's enough to eat seven or eight minutes full, but I just had dinner, and I didn't dare to lie down immediately, so I stayed in the kitchen for a while.

The result is better not to wait, Uncle Xu will not stop picking his teeth, and said: "Xiao Qiu'er, you can hurt us!" ”

I glared at him fiercely: "If I have this ability, you don't even want to eat a vegetable leaf just now!" ”

Hearing my words, Uncle Xu laughed, pointed to the ground and patted his stomach comfortably, Miaomiao, and said, "I'm just lying, Miaomiao doesn't understand, does it?" ”

Although I don't know what is going on, the cat taught by Uncle Xu is definitely like him, and I asked, "What did I do?" ”

"The dish you made today, ahem, that's called a ......" Uncle Xu said while looking at my face, seeing that my eyes widened and I looked unhappy, he was happy and stopped talking.

There are still a lot of requirements for eating for nothing, I looked at Uncle Xu's angry appearance and said, "Then you still eat!" ”

Uncle Xu hurriedly waved his hand: "I haven't eaten, if I don't eat and grab food from you now, it is estimated that I will have to drink water wildly, how can I have time to come here." ”
