Chapter Eighty-Five: Redo the Courtyard Gate

After drying the beans, the women sewed and mended at home, cleaned up, and the men began to change the gate of the courtyard. Just do it, just last time I went back to my parents' house, I pulled those bricks to repair the stove, and there was still half a car left useless.

The man used a dustpan to pick up some sticky mud from the outside, mixed it with water to form a thin mud, and then added some chopped rice seedlings to it, so that the sticky mud could stick firmly to the bricks.

Zhao Laosan moved extremely fast, and after a while, the original courtyard door was sealed, and a one-person-high wall was erected around it. Standing in the courtyard like this, the vegetable patch and the grave outside could not be seen.

Su Mi was not idle, and when he saw that the man was short of something, he gave it over. After a morning's work, the courtyard changed its appearance, Su Mi was still a little scared, I heard that after this person died, the first seven would wander in the cemetery, and he refused to leave. But, the man has done so much for her, and she is all content.

Seeing that the door of this courtyard was sealed, Su Mi went to the stove room to cook, and white smoke was emitting from the chimney on the roof of Zhao's house, which drifted away from the roof. Knowing that the man had done a lot of work in the morning and was very tired, Su Mi cooked a table of delicious food at noon.

The bacon is first washed with warm water, then put in a pot, cooked over high heat, and finally scooped up, cut into thin slices with a knife, and fried with dried bamboo shoots dried in the spring.

Bacon alone is not enough, Su Mi cooked the egg and the tomatoes picked from the vegetable field and cooked a pot of soup. This tomato is very fresh, and the eggs are also laid by her own hens, Su Mi looked at the red and yellow dishes, her heart was sweet, and she grinned and showed two rows of bright teeth.

In the end, a pot of dried fish was fried, and then the man was asked to come in the stove room to eat.

Zhao Laosan put down the work at hand and paced to the stove room, Su Mi rolled up his sleeves, revealing two white arms, holding a basin of cool water, and handed it to his man: "Husband, you move lightly, don't wipe off the whiplash on your neck if it is scabbed." ”

Lowered her eyes, in her black eyes, her little lady's docile cheeks were small and fair, like a shelled egg, and she couldn't help but stretch out a big rough hand and rub it on her face a few times.

Rao is heart felt that his little lady loved her very much, and the movements on her hands were a little heavier, and after her hand was removed, her little lady's white cheeks were flushed red, and her eyebrows twisted: "Lady, my hands are rough, does it hurt you!" ”

Su Mi knew that the man was too careful, smiled and shook his head and paced over, a pair of small hands grabbed the man's broad palm and put it on his face: "Husband, I am your person, you can touch it hard!" ”

was amused by the stupidity of his little lady, Zhao Laosan also opened his mouth and smiled shallowly.

Sitting at the dinner table, Su Mi first served a bowl of soup to the man, which was the first time to eat it with eggs and tomatoes from his hens. The tomatoes are sour, the eggs are fragrant, Zhao Laosan drank half a bowl of soup, and his mouth was full of fragrance.

Seeing that the man finished eating the soup in the bowl, Su Mi sandwiched another piece of fish: "Husband, you taste this fish, I fried it with flour and eggs, and then wrapped it in sugar. ”

"It's called braised fish!" Zhao Laosan lowered his eyes, a piece of braised fish in the bowl was fragrant and crispy, wrapped in sugar and crystal clear, and the color was very attractive.

The man picked it up and ate a piece, although the dried fish was not so tender, but it was also crispy and sweet, the sugar was not much or less, and the faint fragrance was not greasy at all.

The man ate sweetly at the dinner table, and Su Mi was the happiest in his heart. But Zhao Laosan was still the same as usual, as long as he was eating fish, he brought a plate, carefully picked out the fish bones, and then sandwiched the fish pieces into Su Mi's bowl.

At first, Su Mi had to dissuade her man, after all, this matter of picking out fish bones, she was still a child, and her father who lived in the capital picked them for her, let alone picking fish bones when she grew up, even if she had few opportunities to eat fish.

Now, she is completely accustomed to it, letting her man get used to herself, at the dinner table, just patiently waiting for her man to pick fish bones for herself, and then eat the fish pieces with fish bones.

Because of the fish, this period of food was eaten for half an hour, but it was already hot at noon this summer, and it was like a dead person outside, and he didn't go down to work on the ground after eating.

After lunch, Su Mi cleaned up the stove room unhurriedly. Zhao Laosan was going to cool down in the afternoon, and then opened the door of the side house at the back, and surrounded a small courtyard in front of him.

In the past few days, Su Mi felt that he was very sleepy, so he cleaned up the stove room, and there were beans drying on the dam in the yard, and he could hear the crackling sound, and from time to time the beans were picked out, and the bulging belly fell on the dam again.

I slept groggily all afternoon, and when I woke up, it was already evening, Su Mi felt that her mouth was dry, so she went to the stove room to drink half a bowl of cool well water, and then she felt a lot more comfortable.

I didn't see the man's figure, I guessed that it was in the side room, and I paced past, and my eyes lit up. Outside the house there was a small courtyard that was not too small and not too small, and a wall more than a man high had been erected around it, and the door had been installed, and it was made of sturdy planks.

"Husband, why are you moving so fast?"

Hearing the voice of the little lady, Zhao Laosan sideways his eyes, seeing her sleepy-eyed appearance, his heart softened, and it seemed that the fatigue of the day was gone.

"I don't know what's wrong, I always feel like I haven't slept enough these days, and my head is a little groggy!" Su Mi shook her head, if she hadn't heard the sound in the courtyard, she was afraid that she would still be asleep at this time.

At night, I warmed up the leftovers that I hadn't eaten at noon. After eating, he cleaned up the stove room, and saw Luo Qing coming.

Su Mi took a look, didn't see the Luo Qing woman, and was about to ask, when he saw his doll Yingzi, and estimated that the Luo Qing woman's body was getting heavier and heavier, and she walked behind.

Sure enough, after half an hour's effort, the Luo Qing woman bypassed the front courtyard door and walked in through the courtyard door on the side of the house. I hadn't seen her for two or three days, and Su Mi felt that she had changed again.

With his head held high, his waist is very round, and if he doesn't pay attention, he won't be able to see the road under his feet clearly. Su Mi was afraid that he would work hard, so she hurriedly helped her to paced into the house and sit, and went to the stove room to bring cool well water.

"You live like this, when will you be the head!" The woman Luo Qing put down the water bowl in her hand, grabbed the female doll beside her, and said anxiously.

Su Mi and his family naturally knew what this Luo Qing woman was talking about, "Sister, don't worry, isn't it just to bury the princess at the door of our house?" Speaking of this, I have to blame the princess herself, my man just didn't bother to pay attention to her! ”

"It's true that this princess lost her life because she made things difficult for your man, but the people in this village are now misunderstanding your family, how will you live in the future?" After the woman finished speaking, Luo Qing sighed helplessly.

"After my man left, didn't there be a lot of village women standing at the ridge to watch the excitement, why didn't you help Wang Po up from the paddy field? If there is a mistake, I think these boring village women are the most wrong! "Su Mi is holding grievances for his man, why do these villagers all blame their men for this.

"Of course, I know that if I were there, I wouldn't have seen anyone die anyway!" Luo Qing's woman's eyebrows frowned, these days, the rumors outside, the mouths of these village women, seem to be able to swallow the two of Su Mi alive.

"No matter what he does, the ghost will not go away for 7749 days, I just have to live with my own man!" Su Mi was scared at first, but for some reason, as long as her man was there, she felt very down-to-earth.

"Let's also come over to take a look, if Sister Su Mi is really scared, it won't be a problem to go to my house for eight months." The dark eyes of the Luo Qing woman are simple and sincere, Su Mi naturally knows the kindness of these two people, what happened, the people in this village are eager to stay away from their Zhao family, only Luo Qing and his family are still willing to get close to the two.

"That's not necessary, with my man, even if I live in the cemetery now, I feel that I can sleep peacefully!" Su Mi took Yingzi's hand and smiled.

The female doll also grew taller, Su Mi took her to the hall to get a lot of food, saw that she was eating extremely happily, her heart was sweet, and she thought about when she would have such a female doll.

Yingzi likes Su Mi very much, eating snacks in her arms, babbling and babbling words that she doesn't understand, Su Mi sees that she likes it very much. kissed her fleshy little face, and then reluctantly put her down from his arms.

The two gossiped for a while, and when they saw that it was getting late, Luo Qing picked up the doll and prepared to go back. Fortunately, it was dark late this summer, and the two of them didn't need to light torches when they went back.

Su Mi saw that she was very angry, so she went to the stove room to pick up twenty eggs, put them in a bamboo basket, and handed them to her: "Sister, just eat, three or four of my hens are laying eggs, and when I finish eating these, I will send them to you." ”

The remaining dozen eggs, Su Mi is going to go back to her parents' house a few days later and bring them to her sister-in-law.

After sending them away, Su Mi was afraid that something would happen to the Luo Qing woman. Or went out, helped her take the eggs, and sent them to the smooth ridge, and then gave her the eggs in her hand, and then went home.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he went uphill, he saw Luo Qinghe. Luo Qinghe asked Li Daniu to sprinkle fertilizer on her bean field, she heard the man say it, and she was really surprised by this.

Luo Qinghe was holding a stick of green vegetables in his hand, and he was about to take it home to feed the chickens and ducks, and when he saw Su Mi's body, he was stunned, and his face turned pale instantly.
