Pu Cao was worried that the greenhouse was too small, except for the vegetables supplied to Baiyunju, there were not many vegetable seedlings in the remaining vacant space, and it would only be enough to plant two acres of land. Hearing Aunt Chen's refusal like this, she naturally stopped persuading her, and turned her head to pick Chun Nier, "Your belly is big, don't bend over and get busy." If you are really idle and bored, go to Fang Gongzi's yard for a walk, and let the child in your womb meet his father. ”

Chunni threw down the paper tube in her hand, pulled up her sleeve to wipe the sweat beads on her forehead, and said with a smile, "Listen to what you said, it's as if I'm so far apart from my son, didn't we just eat together in the morning." ”

Pu Cao took out a handkerchief to wipe the black soil on her chin, and said with a smile, "I knew that you were so heartless, so I wouldn't feel guilty." Last night, I don't know who was still shouting in the middle of the night in my sleep, "give birth to a child, give birth to a child", so that I wondered where to find someone to help keep vigil this day, so that the two of you seem to be squeezed by me, the landlord, and the old wealth and life can not get together. ”

Aunt Chen's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law laughed when they heard what Pucao said. Chunni blushed with shame, and opened her mouth to retort, "You still say me, aren't you too..."

Halfway through her speech, she suddenly stopped in shock, and then remedied, "Aren't you also timid and afraid of the dark, and you have to be accompanied by magpies when you go to a thatched house at night." ”

Pu Cao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glared at Chunni, and opened her mouth to go out again, "Okay, don't follow to make trouble, go for a walk." Didn't the eldest brother and the second brother also come back from the city to help, if they go back to Lijia Village at night, we will prepare something for your old lady to bring back."

Chunni hadn't seen her mother for more than half a month, and when she heard this, she was moved, got up and patted the dust on her dress, thinking about what to bring to her to eat.

Chen's second sister-in-law is also very lively, seeing that there are not many paper tubes on the ground, she smiled and said, "The road outside is not easy to walk, why don't I accompany Chunni to take a look." ”

Pucao naturally won't stop her, and Aunt Chen also likes this smart and sweet-mouthed second daughter-in-law, so she agreed to two words. Chen's second sister-in-law smiled and stepped forward to take Chunni out of the vegetable shed, and the two went to the front yard while talking and laughing.

Aunt Chen's subordinates continued to be busy, and joked with a smile in her mouth, "If you want to talk about this person, it's the radish and cabbage that everyone has their own love." Our peasant family thinks that the city is so lively and peaceful, and it would be more enjoyable if we could buy a yard in the city and live in it for a few years. But Fang Gongzi's family has a big garden and a shop, and he just likes our small ravine.

I heard Dongzi say that Fang Gongzi gave the old Wang family ten taels of silver to buy a yard, and the old sister of the Wang family will have to pull up her waist in the future, and the old couple will live with their son again, and the daughter-in-law will not dare to show her face. ”

Sister-in-law Chen replied with a smile, "No, Aunt Wang was so smiling that her face was about to bloom when she moved." ”

Pu Cao carried the kettle on the side and sprayed some water on the mound, and when she heard the gossip of the Chen family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but secretly curle.

Since the morning of the first day of the new year, she and Fang Jie expressed their hearts, and the two have become more and more intimate. Especially Fang Jie, there is a posture that he can't eat and sleep when he doesn't see her for a day. Except for the sixth day of junior high school, he had to go back to the city to watch the restaurant and a few shops open, and the rest of the time he stayed in the village and refused to leave.

She once casually said that it was better to move to the village. He actually bought a yard the next day, and it was in the east courtyard of Chunni's house. Since then, the three of them have lived next to each other, and they have completely occupied the northeast corner of Nangou Village. In the summer, open a small door on the fence of each house, and walk around each other without fear of falling into the eyes of outsiders, which is very convenient and hidden.

In the past few days, the Fang family has found craftsmen to repair the house and rebuild the house layout. The people in the village were enthusiastic, and they expected Fang Jie to build bridges with various restaurants to sell vegetables for them in winter, so they all gathered to help.

Fang Jie is also interested in making friends with the villagers, and the two meals a day are very rich, and the bud wine is enough to drink. The men in the village were full of praise when they mentioned him, but the women were all drunk and complained...

When it was getting dark, all the oil paper tubes were filled with black soil and neatly placed under the wooden boxes. Pucao sent away the Chen family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and lightly watered the freshly sown rapeseeds, and the stove was also full of wooden stumbling blocks before returning to the front yard.

The magpie had already made dinner, and Zhang Guier was sitting at the dining table, when she saw her sister-in-law come in, she hurriedly got up and saluted.

Pu Cao looked at him with a look of wanting to speak and stopped, and guessed that he must be thinking about going to the school, so he said, "Yesterday, I gossiped with the lady, and I heard her say that the school will start tomorrow." ”

Zhang Gui'er hurriedly responded, "Exactly, Shengzi also came to ask me to go to the school with me today." ”

Pu Cao nodded, "Then after eating, I will prepare a futon for you to salute, and I will also bring you the bundle and food expenses." After a while, the weather will be warmer, and I will take Peach Blossom to see you when you have free time in the school or if you have a convenient car and horse at home. ”

Zhang Gui's heart fell to the ground, and his face showed joy, and he responded one after another. After the family gathered around for dinner, Zhang Guier was busy picking up his pen, ink, paper, inkstone and clothes, and Pucao brought peach blossoms and Zhang Luoxin's futon, sheepskin under the bed, and even snacks to pad the stomach on weekdays, which was really thoughtful.

Chunni had dinner at Fang's house, and when she came back after joining in the excitement, she couldn't help but say when she saw that their aunt and sister-in-law were so busy, "Your brother has to study hard to get a reputation when you go to school, otherwise I'm sorry for you and Peach Blossom." ”

The magpie was fetching hot water to wash Shanzi's feet, and when he heard this, he rolled his eyes and responded, "The slave maid thinks that it would be better if the second young master didn't come out of breath, but if he really became an official, he was afraid that his nostrils would rise to the sky, and there would be no outsiders in his eyes except God." ”

Although Peach Blossom is young and can't hear the mockery in the magpie's words, she is very smart and clever, and she guessed that the magpie must be saying bad things about her brother just from her look, so the little girl immediately puffed her mouth and whispered for her brother, "The second brother is a good person, the second brother is the champion in the study exam, and he will be the second official in the future!" ”

Pu Cao hurriedly hugged the little girl in her arms and coaxed, "Silly girl, the magpie is saying that your second brother will be a big official in the future, and there is no one above him who is bigger than him except for the emperor who is as powerful as God." ”

"Really?" The little girl had tears in her eyes, and looked timidly at the magpie for confirmation. The magpie regretted that he shouldn't have been quick to speak for a while, and when he saw this, he immediately responded, "Madame is right, that's what the slave meant." When the second young master becomes an official in the future, our third lady will be everyone's lady, and when the time comes, the matchmaker who comes to propose marriage is afraid that she will have to step on the threshold. ”

Peach Blossom blushed and replied in a low voice, "I want to be with my sister-in-law, so I won't marry." ”

Pu Cao kissed her on the cheek lovingly, and said with a smile, "Yesterday, my sister-in-law added you another good silk, can you write it down in the book?" ”

"Oops, I forgot to write when I went to the master to learn embroidery today." As she spoke, Peach Blossom went down to open her precious dowry box, took out a small inkstone and brush, and wrote down the new dowry seriously. In the end, I counted those silk and other things from beginning to end, and the little frustration just now was naturally thrown into the back of my mind.

Pu Cao glared at the magpie fiercely, and stepped forward to take Shanzi's little feet and wipe them clean for him. The magpie had already figured out the master's temper, and he was not afraid, so he stuck out his tongue and smiled and poured water out of the door.

Early in the morning of the second day, after the family had eaten early, they set up the spiritual seat of the old couple of the Zhang family, and simply offered a few snacks, and Zhang Gui knelt down and kowtowed a few times, which was considered to be a resignation with the elders.

The magpie removed the offering table, and Pu Cao took two purses and handed them to Zhang Gui'er, one of which contained three taels of broken silver, which was Zhang Gui'er's two-month bundle and food expenses. The other one was filled with 200 copper coins and kept them for his pocket money on weekdays.

Chuniel and Magpie helped to move the salute and other things, and the sum of them all added up to half a house. Zhang Gui saw that his sister-in-law was so well prepared, and stepped forward with a grateful face and gave another big gift.

Pu Cao just carefully instructed him two sentences, and Li Zheng and his wife took Shengzi to the door, Shengzi lived in the school for half a winter a year ago, and it was much more brisk to not have to take the luggage. The two families sat together and exchanged a few words, and the horse driven by Dongzi arrived at the door.

The two families helped to carry the belongings of the two scholars onto the climbing plow, and instructed them left and right, until they were sent to the entrance of the village.

The school attached to Shengzi and Zhang Gui'er is far away in Sanchahe Town, more than ten miles west of Cuiluan City, because the surrounding mountains are high and dense, and the scenery of spring, summer, autumn and winter is excellent, which is very suitable for the thoughts of the recluse. A few decades ago, after a university scholar from the court built a separate courtyard here, the place became even more lively, and gradually more and more residents moved in, and it became a small town. There is a bifurcating estuary on the side of the town, and people casually take the name of the town.

Shengzi and Zhang Guier's husband surnamed Chu, more than ten years ago in high school was a county official, and then because he did not like the darkness of officialdom, his own temperament was too pure and strong, and he was also not liked by his colleagues, so he simply returned to his hometown to open a private school under the disgust of the two phases, and received some Lingxiu village children to teach the words of sages and sages, Jinglun poems, and looked forward to the day when peach and plum were all over the world in the future, and they also raised their eyebrows once.

With such lofty ambitions, Mr. Chu naturally took things such as shackles very lightly. But his wife and children couldn't accompany him to read poetry and books to fill his stomach, so seeing that the family's savings were gradually exhausted, Mrs. Chu thought of an idea, and under the banner of asking the schoolchildren to concentrate on reading, she hired an old woman to take care of the meals every day, and the schoolchildren naturally had to pay for food, so that in addition to the bundle, they could also add a few taels of income every month.

Mr. Chu was going to be angry and preach, but his wife sent a personal servant to come over, and smiled Yingying to "add fragrance to his red sleeves", and he was "rarely confused".

Since then, Mrs. Chu has tasted the sweetness, and has successively added accommodation fees and tea expenses, and the schoolchildren are naturally dissatisfied, but firstly, the families who can send their children out to study have some family backgrounds, and secondly, Mrs. Chu also understands the principle of moderation, so the school has been prosperous for five years.
