Chapter Ninety-Eight: Thinking of Relatives

When you come, you will have a good wind, and when you go back, you will inevitably go against the wind. The jujube red horse was panting in his mouth and nose, and he ran steadily in the snow field under the command of Dongzi.

Several women are all sitting together with their backs, Aunt Li and Pu Cao are okay, Sister-in-law Li and Sister-in-law Li have not gone out for a long time, and there is a posture that the birds in the cage are first free. The two of them didn't care about the crackling of the wind and snow on their backs, and for a while they pointed to the birch tree in the distance and said that it was much higher than in autumn, and then said which clearing had planted what in the summer.

Pucao listened lively, and occasionally interjected two sentences and laughed non-stop. Fang Jie sat a foot away, seeing her smiling like a flower, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled, and slowly moved behind her, opening his cloak to secretly block all the wind and snow for her.

Pu Cao suddenly felt a lot warmer behind her, turned her head to look at Fang Jie's mobile human wall, and couldn't help but give him a big smile back, her eyes were shining tactfully, which made Fang Jie's heart warm, and she held her little hand tightly under the cover of the cloak.

Pu Cao was shocked, and struggled twice in vain. In a panic, Mrs. Li seemed to be closing her eyes to recuperate, and Sister-in-law Li and Sister-in-law Li were talking lively, but they didn't notice the small movements between them, so they didn't make any more effort, and glared at Fang Jie in shame and pretended to enjoy the snow scene seriously...

Chunni sent Fang Jie away in the morning, and when she felt that there were not enough people, she begged Aunt Chen to help cut the vegetables. Aunt Chen is also a cheerful person, and when she went home and called her eldest daughter-in-law, plus Liu Housheng, a total of four people, it can be regarded as a huge lineup.

Although the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Chen family are new, they are all farm work, but they also have three points in common, but they need to be more careful, and after half an hour of familiarity, they wielded the kitchen knife in their hands vigorously.

The four of them were afraid of delaying Fang Jie's return to the city with vegetables, so they didn't dare to rest at all, and they were busy until they put the last bundle of vegetables into the wicker basket, and they were relieved, and they gathered in one place to wipe their sweat and gossip while drinking water.

No, before they could gossip a few words, Uncle Chen came here with a smile on his face, it turned out that his son and daughter-in-law, who went out yesterday, came back.

Aunt Chen was worried about the bad business, so she asked, "Why did you come back so early?" Is it that the things are not sold? ”

"You old woman knows that you are worrying, our family's business is good, and the children have brought back a cart of furs." After Uncle Chen finished speaking, he turned to Chunni and said with a smile, "Chunnier, my second child also pulled five or six geese and a dozen hens back, saying that Pucao asked for it, and you look at making a place to enclose these living creatures." ”

"Yes, uncle. I'm going to pick it up, and I'll ask my second brother to help deliver it later. ”

"Okay, let's go back first." The old couple smiled and rushed back to their house along the path in the garden, Chunni looked at them with a strong smile on their faces, and the wind was blowing under their feet, and couldn't help but say to their own man, "Aunt Chen's family is also booming this day." ”

Liu Housheng was busy moving the green vegetable basket into a large wooden basin filled with a small half of clean water, and the green vegetable roots could always maintain a fresh and fresh appearance after absorbing the water. When he heard his daughter-in-law's words, he smiled and said, "Pu Cao just has a lot of ideas, you see that she casually pointed out the way, and the Chen family made so much money." ”

Chunni was afraid that he would complain that Pu Cao didn't help his father and brother, so she hurriedly responded, "That's also the hard work that the Chen family can endure, and it's not easy to go out in such a windy and snowy situation." If you come across those who want to steal money from others, no matter how good the idea is, they will not admit it. ”

Liu Housheng didn't know that his daughter-in-law's words were alluding to his own family, but he felt that her tone was a little heavy, so he hurriedly smiled and persuaded him, "Who are you annoyed again, quickly take care of yourself!" You still have our child in your belly, but you can't be angry. ”

Chunni pouted and glared at him, and insisted, "I don't care, don't expect Pu Cao to be smart and let her take care of everyone's affairs, in case Pu Cao is wronged, don't blame me for torturing your son!" ”

"Okay, okay, whatever you say, I'll listen to you." Liu Housheng was really aggrieved and wanted to shout God, why did this daughter-in-law become more and more eccentric after she became pregnant with her son, and what she said made him not understand it, and he had to make a smile.

He couldn't help but touch his daughter-in-law's flat belly with a bitter face, and muttered in a low voice, "Son, you have to be filial to your father when you grow up, it's not easy for your father to do it for you." ”

Chunni was amused when she heard it, slapped his hand away and said angrily, "It's not easy for you to be a father, it's hard for me to be pregnant with him." In this way, she had a little temper and went back to the front yard to circle chickens and geese in Zhangluo, leaving Liu Housheng to smile helplessly, and then sang a little song to add firewood and water.

Originally, Mrs. Zhang, who passed away, was not a person who could live, and when Zhang Fu built a new yard, he did not leave any open space for chickens and pigs, but only moved closer to the style and neatness.

So, it's hard to look for Chun Nier who is looking for a home for chickens and geese everywhere, here is not sheltered, and there is too narrow. When she was embarrassed, she heard a bell ringing in the distance, and her eyes lit up and she ran to the door, and sure enough, she saw Dongzi driving a horse and climbing a plow and coming far away.

There seemed to be a lot of people sitting on the plow, and she knew the blue cotton jacket of Pucao and Fang Jie's green crow. But I don't know who the rest of the people are, are they passers-by?

After she finished guessing, the horse plow stopped in front of the courtyard gate, and Pucao was the first to jump down and said with a smile, "Nizi, look who's coming!" ”

Mrs. Li moved her stiff hands and feet, looked at the stupid girl with a surprised and stunned face, and smiled, "This girl, is she so happy that she is stupid?" It's my mother! ”

Sister-in-law Li and sister-in-law Li also laughed and helped their mother-in-law get out of the car, but before the old lady could stand firmly, Chunni was already "whooping" and jumped up with a voice, hugged the old lady's waist and cried, "Mother, you... What are you doing here? And the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law, why are you all here? ”

Mrs. Li heard her daughter's cry, as if she had been wronged more than surprised, she inevitably had doubts in her heart, but she didn't ask immediately, but patted her daughter's back and comforted her, "Okay, don't be like a child, my mother has poured a cold wind into my stomach, quickly pour a bowl of hot water for my mother." ”

Sister-in-law Li also said, "No, let us also see what your little family looks like?" ”

Chunni raised her head and wiped two handfuls of tears, and a smile appeared on her face again, "Mother, sister-in-law, my house has not been burning for several days, I'm afraid that the house is colder than the outside, so let's sit here in Pucao first." ”

Pu Cao also replied on the side, "Yes, auntie." Come into the house, don't be polite like your own home. ”

"Good, good, you're welcome." The old lady helped her daughter and took her two daughters-in-law into the courtyard. Seeing that this bluestone courtyard was neatly repaired, Sister-in-law Li and sister-in-law were envious, and thought in their hearts that it would be good if they could build one in their own house in the future.

Chunni was walking into the courtyard, and suddenly remembered the problem just now, so she turned around and called Pu Cao and said, "Pu Cao, Second Brother Chen has bought back the chicken and goose, I just thought that there is no place to circle it." You can worry about yourself, I can't bear to look anywhere. ”

Pu Cao pointed to the two west wings without doors and windows, and said with a smile, "Your eyes are really not a problem, I have wooden poles in those two rooms, just push them in." ”

As soon as the sister-in-law Li and the second sister-in-law heard that the good wing room was going to circle chickens and geese, the corners of her mouth twitched in distress.

Chunni couldn't hold back her laughter when she saw it, and counted the grass while opening the door of the house, "Sister-in-law, this is the first time you have come to the door, and you don't know the bottom of the grass." She, she is a famous loser in this village, and the water for brushing the pot on weekdays is enough for other people's families to stew two bowls of vegetables. The mouth is picky, and if there is japonica rice and fine noodles in the jar, you will never eat bud grain noodles. ”

"You don't eat any less, and you laugh at what people do. I think you're a gluttonous cat. Mrs. Li was afraid that Pu Cao would be annoyed, so she quickly glared at her daughter in disgust.

Chunni smiled and didn't excuse herself, settled her mother and sister-in-law to sit on the kang, and then went to be busy with Zhang Luo's tea and snacks. was so panicked that Li's sister-in-law and second sister-in-law followed her, for fear that she would bump into her, and Mrs. Li also asked her to be careful.

Pu Cao heard the lively and joyful atmosphere of their family outside the door, and her heart was envious, and her face slowly darkened.

Mother, for children, it is the closest person in the world. No matter what the child suffers or suffers outside, as long as he sees his mother, all the pain will be healed immediately. It's a pity that her mother is far away in another world, and she often misses her daughter, who died early...

Fang Jie's mind was clear, and when he saw that Pu Cao was silent, he guessed that she must have been saddened. So he hurriedly said something and said with a smile, "I went to the greenhouse to take a look around, and it happened to be replaced by Brother Liu." If you have nothing to do, go over together, and settle the money too. ”

Sure enough, Pu Cao changed his mind when he heard this, and responded, "It's better for you to go over and rest first, I'll go to Chen's house to drive the chickens and geese back, kill a big goose and stew potatoes for a while, and keep what you like to eat." ”

Fang Jie smiled and nodded, and Dongzi, who was not far behind him, remembered the task he had taken before, and hurriedly followed with a smile, "Childe, the little one will also go to Chen's house for a walk, and he will come back to serve immediately." ”

Fang Jie waved his hand casually, "Go, don't rush back." Then he turned and went round the back door into the garden.

Liu Housheng was so busy sweating just now, and at this moment, he was taking advantage of no one to take off his shirtless, and his face was drenched with water. Suddenly seeing someone come in, he was so frightened that he hurriedly wanted to hide behind the straw curtain, and when he saw that the person who came was Fang Jie, he didn't have to shy away from it, he smiled and reached out and pulled the cloth towel and wiped it a few times, and then he came forward with a red face.

"Young Master Fang, you're back, I'm washing up and making you laugh."

Fang Jie likes to joke with a simple person like Liu Housheng, he doesn't have to beat around the bush, and he doesn't have to calculate the gains and losses, but he is at ease.

"Brother Liu, I heard that you are going to be a father, and I haven't congratulated you yet."

Liu Housheng heard Fang Jie mention his unborn son again, his mouth was about to grin, and he responded happily, "Thank you for your concern, it's just a trivial matter!" Sit down and drink the hot water, it's cold outside today. ”
