Zhao Laosan's sleep was already shallow, and when he heard Su Mi's scream, he hurriedly got up and walked like flying to the side house. Seeing Su Mi trembling at the door, he reached out and buckled her into his arms, and a smell of sweat hit the man's chest.

"It turned out to be a cat!" Zhao Laosan held the lamp and saw a black cat eating dried fish at the window. Only then did the two of them feel relieved, Su Mi leaned against the man, and saw that the man was more nervous than himself, and his cheeks and chest were full of beads of sweat as big as beans, sliding down the wheat-colored skin and into his shirt.

"Is the husband afraid of cats?" Su Mi was calm, with a pair of soft little hands, wrapping around Zhao Laosan's arm.

Zhao Laosan took a deep breath, wiped the sweat oozing from his forehead, washed his face with a basin of water, and some things flashed through his mind before. He didn't know what to say about these things, and when he saw that Su Mi only covered a thin inner lining, he was worried that she would catch a cold: "It's okay, I'm just afraid that the robbers will enter the house and scare the lady, so I'm nervous." ”

When Su Mi heard that the man felt so sorry for herself, her heart warmed and she took out a brocade to wipe the man's chest: "Husband, let's go to sleep!" ”

In the middle of the night, the man lay on the bed, his eyes kept open. His eyes were dark, blending into the night. The little lady next to her slept very sweetly, and the sound of even breathing sounded in the bedroom. Listening to this voice, the man felt a little more steady.

Early the next morning, when Su Mi got up, Zhao Laosan was loading tofu on the cart. originally wanted to go to the town together, but Zhao Laosan thought that she would come to the moon, and her body was very weak, so he insisted on asking her to rest in the house.

Seeing that Zhao Laosan's face was a little pale, and his dark eyes showed a little tiredness, he knew that he hadn't slept well yesterday. Su Mi loaded him with some dry food and put it in the car, and told him to eat dinner at Luo Qing's house at night, to come back early, and to bring some lactose and pastries that children love to eat.

Su Mi commanded softly with a peach lip, his delicate cheeks were as white as mutton fat jade, and the ink-colored green silk had not had time to be pulled up, hanging down to his waist, and the man looked at his heart before he settled down a little, nodded and agreed: "Lady is relieved, this pastry is as much as lactose." ”

After the man left, Su Mi took out the bamboo shoots that were dried yesterday, and put the dustpan on the stone steps in the courtyard, so that it could be dried as soon as the sun came out. Hands as white as chives flipped back and forth in the dustpan.

After drying the bamboo shoots, feeding the ducks some millet, catching them out of the fence and moving around the yard. In just a few days, these ducks have grown a lot rounder, and their yellow fluffy and bulging bellies are very cute to look at.

Seeing that the lettuce in his vegetable field was growing well, Su Mi went to cut some and came back, preparing to send them to Luo Qing's house with her husband in the evening. On the way there, I saw the magnolia tree blooming on the side of the road, so I folded some back.

A pair of small hands held a bundle of milky white magnolias, and when they went to the back of the house, they divided into two sets, and took the other to the bedroom, and inserted it with a bottle. The other is to take it to the stove, tear it off one by one, and soak it in cool water. After soaking in water for a while, the petals were wrapped in egg wash and fried in an oil pan, and the fragrance of flowers and oil wafted in the stove.

For lunch, Su Mi only ate some fried magnolia flowers and noodles. After eating, the yellow leaves on the head of the lettuce are removed, and this bundle of lettuce looks at the green raw, which is very sweet and delicious.

After eating, he took out the wireframe and sat down in front of the threshold while waiting for his man to finish the unfinished cloth shoes. The movement at hand was very fast, and in half an hour, this pair of cloth shoes was finished. The black face, the white sole, the stitches are fine, and there is no messy thread.

After a while, the man came back with the cart, and the woman hurriedly stood up, holding the freshly made cloth shoes in her hand: "The husband is back, come and try these shoes!" ”

Seeing his own lady standing at the threshold, looking at herself with a smile, she was tired of writing, but she disappeared in a flash. took down the pastries and candies on the cart, and when he entered the house, he smelled a burst of magnolia incense, "The lady will put it first, and after washing her feet at night, I will try these cloth shoes again." ”

Su Mi saw that the man was carrying a large bag and a small bag in his hand, and hurriedly took it, which was a lot of lactose and pastries: "Husband, I see that your face is a little pale, you can rest for a while, and I will go and give you a bowl of noodles." ”

"I've eaten in town, it's out of the way, it's just that I had a nightmare last night." The man yawned as he spoke, and the woman helped him sit in front of the bed: "Husband, sit down first, I'll go and get you a basin of water, wash. Foot! ”

After washing his feet, Zhao Laosan lay on the bed and rested, Su Mi was considerate, knowing that tomorrow the man would go to the town to sell tofu again. He carried a bag of beans to the bedroom, and while accompanying his man, he picked out the broken beans with a pair of small hands.

The sound of beans rolling in the wooden plate, and the sound of even breathing, Su Mi's heart was sweet. An hour and a half had passed, and most of the bags of beans had been picked out. The man woke up, and looked sideways at a petite shadow not far away, "Lady, does your stomach still hurt?" ”

I had already forgotten that I was still coming to the moon letter, but when I was asked by the man, I felt a little ashamed, a smiling face was red just like the sunset, and the peach lips were slightly like mosquitoes and flies: "Don't worry, husband, I have had a good rest in the past two days, and I don't feel how it hurts." ”

There was a faint magnolia fragrance wafting in the bedroom, the woman was shy and soft, Zhao Laosan uncovered the futon and got out of bed, reached out and pinched Qingxiu's cheeks: "It's good if it doesn't hurt much, in the future, you must eat and rest, otherwise it will hurt every month." ”

"Husband, it's not early, let's pack up and go to Luo's house, we can also help out at dinner." Su Mi is particularly concerned about this matter, this is the first time that a concubine has had such an intimate relationship after marrying Zhao Laosan.

"Lady clean up, come back in the afternoon in the field, Luo Qing also let us go early!"

Su Mi brought three boxes of lactose, two boxes of hibiscus cake, and a bag of puff pastry walnut fruits, while Zhao Laosan carried a bundle of lettuce and a few pieces of tofu.

The two families are a little far apart, and the Luo family is at the southern end of the village, so they have to bypass several paddy fields and cross a river to get there. Although the two of them walked unhurriedly, the weather was hot, and when they arrived at Luo Qing's house, they were very hot.

This daughter-in-law of the Luo family is kind and capable, tall, and strong-boned. A Chinese face has been in the field for a long time and is tanned. His hands were about the size of a man, but those eyes were bright and gentle. Seeing the two of them coming, he smiled: "These days and the earth are almost turned upside down, you come to the house to sit and sit, and bring so many things." ”

"Seeing that dolls love lactose, my man has to go to the town every day to sell tofu, so he bought some back." Su Mi handed the things at hand to Luo Qing's daughter-in-law, turned her head and saw his doll standing at the door of the stove room, she was happy, and walked over to pick her up.

This female doll is not afraid of life at all, she likes Su Mi very much, and she babbles something in her mouth. Seeing this, Su Mi hurriedly opened the pastry box, took a piece of peach blossom cake, broke it, and fed it to the female doll little by little.

This peach blossom cake is crispy on the outside and crispy on the inside, and the heart is made of egg yolk in the middle, which is very refreshing to eat. The female doll ate two or three in a row, and Su Mi hugged her, her heart was happy.

The two of them have to take care of the old mother on the sickbed at home, and they have to work in the fields, and the days are hard but very happy. The Luo Qing woman is a person from Zhaojiagou in the neighboring village, named Zhao Chenglu, although she was not as beautiful as a flower when she was young, she was a good hand in the field.

Zhao Laosan saw that Luo Qing was chopping firewood, so he helped him chop some dry firewood. Zhao Chenglu was busy working in the stove room, and after a while, the sun went down, the surroundings were foggy, and the sky was darkened.

Su Mi held the female doll in her arms for more than a week, teasing her to eat pastries for a while, and learning to talk to her for a while. Zhao Chenglu saw that she liked children so much, and couldn't help but ridicule: "The daughter-in-law of the Zhao family, you should also give birth to one quickly, just like you, if you give birth to a female doll, it must be white and beautiful, and the person who comes to determine the doll will have to step through the threshold." ”

Hearing Zhao Chenglu's words, Su Mi's cheeks were crimson, but fortunately, the stove room was dark, and she couldn't see her delicate cheeks clearly: "What the daughter-in-law of the Luo family said is that I also want such a milk doll, not to mention what kind of doll is to be pro, even if I hold it in my arms every day, I feel very comfortable." ”

After Su Mi finished speaking, she felt that her cheeks were even hotter, and she and her man had never talked about giving birth to a baby. pinched the hand like the doll in his arms, remembering the appearance of his man on the bed, the vest was sweating finely.

In a few moments, the table was full of dishes. There are crispy meatballs, dried radish shoots, pheasant and mushroom stew......

A few people were talking and laughing and eating, and the daughter-in-law of the Luo family was even more open-minded and hearty, drinking and chatting like men, not at all childish. Su Mi also learned from her, and after taking a sip of wine, her face was flushed with choking. When a table of people saw her like this, they laughed and ridiculed.

"Look at the delicate and gentle appearance of the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family, she doesn't look like a rural village woman." Zhao Chenglu teased while eating wine.

"The daughter-in-law of the Luo family is a person who can lift people, and I am a real rural village woman, I just grew up in the suburbs of Beijing in the early years, but I also work in the fields every day and live a hard life." Under the candlelight, Su Mi whispered.

The few people gossiped for a while, until the moon hung high outside, and then the two got up and prepared to go back. Luo Qing thought thoughtfully, lit a torch for the two, Zhao Laosan held the torch in one hand and led his little lady back with the other.

This night, the moonlight was transparent, sprinkled in the field of white turnover, Zhao Laosan was afraid that his wife would be afraid, so he simply extinguished the torch at hand and carried his wife on his back.

Walking at night and carrying his little lady on his back, Zhao Lao's three steps were very small, and it took almost half an hour on the road. After arriving home, he gently put the lady down on the ground, saw Su Mi's face flushed, and thought, Rao is reason for taking a sip of wine, "You take a break, I'll go boil water and take a bath." ”
