In the middle of the night, Zhuangzi was quiet, only the sound of insects disturbed people's dreams.

Fu Duoduo stood quietly in the courtyard, looking at the dark sky full of dark clouds in a daze.

Bi Tao came over with a cloak and comforted softly: "Auntie, you go into the house to rest, there are dogs left for them to watch, there will be no problem." "Today, my aunt said that something would happen in Zhuangzi tonight, and arranged for people to protect Zhuangzi's safety. It's just that it's so late, and it's still quiet, and there are many people who have secretly complained in private.

Fu Duoduo pursed the corners of his lips and asked, "Do you also think that I made a mistake in judgment?" ”

Bi Tao opened her face, but finally did not speak.

Failure to speak is tantamount to acquiescence.

Fu Duoduo turned around and smiled at Bi Tao: "Actually, just now, I was also wondering if I was wrong, but looking up at this dark night and cool wind, I am very sure that tonight is not destined to be a peaceful night." Seeing that Bi Tao was puzzled, she explained: "Didn't you say that the moon is dark and the wind is high and the night kills? It's the right thing to look at at this moment. ”

In the middle of the night, listening to such infiltrating words, Bi Tao still had the courage to fight again, and was also frightened.

Looking up and seeing Fu Duoduo's smiling face, Bi Tao said angrily: "Auntie, you are really good at joking, what kills people and doesn't kill people, it scared the slave maid." ”

"It's not fun if it's not scary." Fu Duoduo commanded: "You tell the dog to let some of the people go to sleep, and the other part continues to patrol the night." On this big night, the big guys are also tired and hungry, so you go to the kitchen and let them cook some supper. ”

Bi Tao saluted and left.

Fuduoduo stood in the courtyard for a while, took a deep breath, and turned back to the house.

It didn't take long for Zhuangzi, who could hear a quiet needle falling to the ground, suddenly cut noisily.

There are many people in the village from the surrounding villages, although there are some complaints in the heart of the guard for most of the night, but I heard that the supper is appeased, and everyone is happy, and a group of three or five people have flocked to the kitchen, so that the cook is so busy that her feet do not touch the ground.

Chunfu hadn't seen such a lively scene for a long time, and Ben's drowsy state suddenly became energetic.

Hongmei wanted to say a few words about her when she saw it, but after thinking about it, forget it.

It's rare for the big guy to be happy, so why should she be disappointed?

Fu Duoduo looked at Hongmei's delicate face and asked, "Hongmei, you're not too young, aren't you?" ”

Hongmei was stunned, not understanding the meaning of Fu Duoduo's words.

Fu Duoduo explained: "Mother Chen came to me today and wanted to tell you about a family affair. ”

"Family?" In an instant, Hongmei's face turned pale, and the tray she was holding in her hand almost hit the ground, she trembled her hands and asked in a trembling voice, "Grandma, you agreed?" Her expression became cautious, and her eyes were fixed on Fu Duoduo, afraid that she had already agreed.

Fu Duoduo frowned and said, "This is a major event in your life, how can I easily agree?" It's just that you're not too young, it's time to say goodbye. After a pause, he asked, "Do you have a favorite in your heart?" ”

Hongmei shook her head again and again, and said, "No, no, no, slave maid!" ”

"Look at you nervously, even if there is, what's the problem? A woman's good years are only a few years, and after a few years, they are gone. Since Hongmei recognized Chen's mother as her goddaughter, she has been cautious, without the previous heartiness and happiness, Fu Duoduo couldn't help but repeat the old saying, and said: "Hongmei, I'll tell you the truth, if Chen's mother treats you badly, embarrass you, don't hide it, if you have something to say." No matter what, you are my person, and you must not be wronged, and when necessary, it is not impossible to help you and Mother Chen dissolve this relationship between godmother and daughter. ”

Hongmei knew that Fu Duoduo was telling the truth.

But this is the truth, she doesn't want Fu Duoduo to worry about herself.

She whitewashed the peace, comforted Fu Duoduo and said: "Auntie, you are too worried, my red plum is not that soft persimmon, others want to pinch me, it depends on whether her hand strength is strong enough." Not wanting Fu Duoduo to dwell on this matter anymore, she changed the topic and asked, "What is the family matter that Chen's mother said?" ”

Seeing Hongmei's reluctance to talk more, Fu Duoduo sighed secretly and said lightly: "The object of what she said is the dog leftover." ”

Dog leftovers? How could it be him?

She knew that the dog could have now, thanks to Chen's mother's recommendation.

If she hadn't let the dog run errands for her aunt, what would have happened to the dog now?

It's just that there are some things, there are good and there are bad.

Because of that time, the young master and aunt knew about this person, but Chen's mother's son lost the opportunity to show it and gave it to others for nothing. Chen's mother was very unwilling in her heart, and she once asked her to mention her three sons in front of her aunt or grandmother, or when the young master came.

What qualifications does she have to meddle in the master's affairs?

Chen's mother really looks up to her!

With a little anger in her heart, Hongmei said with a sarcastic tone: "She really has a heart." ”

Looking at Hongmei's slightly stunned face, Fu Duoduo knew the anger in Hongmei's heart, and said comfortingly: "Whether you have a heart or not, this is related to the rest of your life, aside from Chen's mother, it is still good to have this person left." ”

The dog is a human, and Hongmei has nothing to deny.

But Chen's mother came to mention this matter, and there were more cats in it.

First of all, Chen's mother has the grace of carrying the dog, and now she is helping to choose a daughter-in-law for him, this kind of kindness adds up, it is really enough to see, and she herself is Chen's mother's goddaughter, how will she live in the future? Mother Chen's words, she has to do it, otherwise it will be unfilial and ungrateful!

Without thinking too much, Hongmei directly refused: "Auntie, the slave doesn't have this idea now, let's talk about it in a few years!" ”

Since Bi Tao said so, Fu Duoduo didn't say much, so he had to say: "If you have any ideas in the future, just tell me, I am not the pedantic master, and I will not control your marriage." ”

Chun Fu's face flushed as he listened, and he joked: "Auntie, will the slaves and maids be the same in the future?" ”

Fu Duoduo smiled: "Of course, no one is treated equally." ”

At this moment, Bi Tao came back, carrying a red lacquered food box in her hand, watching them talking and laughing, and couldn't help asking, "What are you all talking about?" So happy? As he spoke, he put the food box on the kang table near the window, and brought out a few small plates of hot dishes from it.

Chunfu was a little glutton, looking at the fragrant dishes, he swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva.

Fu Duoduo couldn't help laughing, asked Bi Tao to bring a few more pairs of chopsticks, and said to them: "Anyway, there are no outsiders, don't abide by any rules, I can't finish these dishes, you come up, use it with me!" ”

Chunfu didn't refuse, and suddenly climbed onto the big kang and sat next to Fu Duoduo.

Bi Tao and Hongmei glanced at each other, one went to get the chopsticks, the other went to get the bowl, and it didn't take long to set it up.

In the past, when Fu Duoduo and Bi Tao were still in the remote courtyard, the two of them often ate at the same table like this, and now they don't feel restrained, but they miss it very much. Chunfu has always been a big girl, she doesn't have much heart, and she sits with Fu Duoduo, and she doesn't have too much pressure, so she still eats happily. It's Hongmei, who has been taught by rules since she was a child, especially when she was a maid in a big family a few years ago, the rules were stricter, and she was often beaten if she wasn't careful. Therefore, now she can't let go at all, she shrunk her body together, added very few dishes, Fu Duoduo said a few times, and only picked up a few chopsticks in front of her, looking like a little daughter-in-law who was strictly controlled by her mother-in-law.

Fu Duoduo saw it in his eyes, said a few words, and stopped talking nonsense.

Some people's minds are already fixed, and it's hard to change them back. Besides, she is very aware of her situation, and if she is not careful, she herself will be restrained by the rules of this world, let alone them. Therefore, when in the small courtyard, no matter how much hardships and hardships are shared with Bi Tao, some rules are still there, although they are very close to each other, but they say that they want to be sisters, and she will not let it exist.

There are no rules, there is no circle, and when it is time to stand, it is still necessary to stand.

Of course, one board and one eye is not the way to do things.

After a meal, the overall harmony is good.

It's not very early to see that the sky is not very early, and it will be bright in a few hours, and Bi Tao proposes that Fu Duoduo rest early.

Fu Duoduo was very energetic, a pair of eyes rolled bonely, and said: "Now is not a good time to sleep, if you fall asleep, you may not wake up early......" Before the words were finished, Bi Tao spit three times in a row, and objected: "Auntie, don't say such unlucky words, quickly spit three times in a row." ”

Fu Duoduo defended and said: "How can there be so many rules, I am just an analogy. ”

Bi Tao glared, Hongmei was also full of disagreement, even Chun Fu's eyes widened, and he said disapprovingly: "Auntie, you vomit!" ”

Based on what the three of them said, Fu Duoduo had no choice but to do as he was told.

At this moment, Bi Tao and the others were satisfied.

Hongmei felt that Fu Duoduo had something to say just now, and couldn't help asking, "Auntie, what will happen tonight?" That kid has such a big ability? ”

Fu Duoduo didn't hide much, and said: "I don't know if this kid has the ability, but I feel uneasy, and I always feel that something will happen." Do you think, pretending to be the little guy next to the young master, and spreading lies, this child is only about ten years old, how can he have such courage? According to Chen's mother, the child did not show timidity at all, but was very calm, especially when the young master encountered bandits and was cut again, the more I thought about it, the more frightened I became, I am afraid that this child is coming for me, to be precise, the person behind this child is looking for me on purpose. ”
