Aunt Zhang's second aunt also regretted that her intestines were going to be green, and their family originally planned to take advantage of the fact that there was no one at night to break back the Zhang family's bud valley first, so that they would take advantage of it, but they would have thought that as soon as they arrived at the land, they found that people had lived, and Uncle Zhang took the child to go back, but she was not reconciled to think about it, and saw that the fire outside the shack was extinguished, so she came back and planned to break a basket secretly, but she happened to be caught by the late returning Pucao.

"Well, Pucao is so right, I just want to help reclaim the land, but I didn't expect a piece of kindness to be misunderstood by you, I... I'll be back now, and you can rest too. She threw down the basket and wanted to leave, Zhang Guier was so angry that she was so cheeky, she wanted to step forward to stop but was pulled by Pucao, and said with a smile, "The second aunt takes care of our family like this, our hearts are really hot, the people in the village often say that the second aunt is not good, it can be seen that they have misunderstood, it just so happens that I am going back to the village tomorrow, so I will tell everyone that the second aunt came to help collect the land in the middle of the night is really good-hearted." ”

Aunt Zhang was running back in a hurry, and she almost didn't stumble when she heard this, if this matter was reported back to the village, their family would lose their face, so they hurriedly said, "Don't spread this little thing everywhere, let people think that I have a bad reputation, and besides, it's going to be harvested in the autumn, and it's easy for wild beasts to come down on the mountain to spoil the grain, so you better guard here more." ”

Pu Cao smiled, "The bud valley is to be guarded, but we have no food, I plan to go back to the village to borrow some bud grain noodles for cooking." ”

Second Aunt Zhang looked at Pu Cao hugging her shoulders, smiling so proudly, her teeth were so angry that she gritted her teeth, and finally said, "I still have a few catties at home, I will send you some tomorrow, you don't want to go back." ”

"That's great," Pu Cao thanked lightly, "Thank you, Second Aunt, for your concern, we originally wanted to borrow ten catties, and since the Second Aunt wants to send it, I can save it back." ”

Aunt Zhang's heart was distressed as if dripping blood, ten catties of bud grain noodles were enough for their family to eat for a few days, this was really stealing chickens and rice, for fear of staying any longer, Pu Cao remembered to go back to the village to "borrow" something, and immediately responded vaguely, stumbling and running away without a shadow.

Pu Cao clapped his hands, carried the basket and put it by the door of the shack, then put out the fire and said with a smile, "Let's sleep, I guess there will be no more people in the second half of the night to 'help collect the land'." ”

After saying this, she led Shanzi and Peach Blossom into the shack, and fell asleep on the tattered quilt with them left and right.

Zhang Guier stood in the night for a long time, hated to stomp her feet, and went back to the shack, but she was so angry that she couldn't sleep, she got up early and had two dark circles under her eyes, and she was even more annoyed by Shanzi and Peach Blossom's laughter.

At noon, the reluctant Aunt Zhang sent a small cloth bag of grain noodles, Pu Cao checked it, but seven or eight pounds were heavy, but she didn't say much, looking at Aunt Zhang staring at the rattan basket that she threw down last night, she smiled and said that she would invite someone to help in the autumn harvest in a few days.

Pucao sneered and revealed the matter. It's a pity that she has sealed her mouth here, except for Chunni, she really hasn't talked about it with anyone else.

But Zhang's second family suffered such a big loss, the husband and wife were distressed, and inevitably quarreled, and were heard by the neighbors, and the whole village knew about it, and everyone was so angry that the couple almost didn't vomit blood, and hid at home and refused to go out.

Well, new rumors arose, and their embarrassment was solved in time.

If you want to say a new rumor, it is also a little implicated in their family, that is, the old house of the Zhang family is suddenly haunted for some reason, there are always some crows hovering on the roof in the yard during the day, and when they enter the yard to see, there is a whimpering sound like a ghost crying wolf, occasionally someone passes by at night, and I have seen a white shadow floating around, everyone says that the mother and son of the Zhang family are unwilling to be killed, nostalgic for their homeland, and come back to guard the house.

People in the world have always been quite afraid of ghosts and gods, the more afraid they are, the more they want to say a few words, so the rumors spread more and more, originally there were two families who looked at the new renovation of the yard not long after, it was very neat, and they planned to buy it for their son to marry, and they also retreated when they heard this.

Chunni came every day to report the news, and Pucao got together with her when she heard it, laughing and grunting, and then threw it to the back of her mind, because she had more important things to do, and that was learning to write.

It's really sad to say, although she is not a graduate of a higher education institution like Tsinghua University and Peking University, she is also from a normal university, she teaches English in an agricultural school on weekdays, and she thinks she is a good learner, but unfortunately a few days ago, on a whim, she grabbed a baby book of Zhang Guier, and she had a headache without turning a few pages.

It turned out that the common thing here was actually a small seal character, which was extremely complicated, and it turned her into illiterate, thinking that in the future, whether it was a business or a shop, or planting and selling vegetables, she would be able to write and calculate, so she had to bite the bill and force Professor Zhang Guier to teach Zhang Guier for two hours every day.

As soon as Zhang Guier heard that he wanted to be a gentleman, the student was still the sister-in-law who had completely pressed him down these days, and his waist was straighter than a poplar, and his nostrils were almost exposed to the sun, and he completely moved the style of the gentleman in the school.

The first thing was to ask his sister-in-law to bow to the teacher and kneel and kowtow, but he was greeted by Pu Cao on the head with a slap. I had to dispel this idea with hatred, and watched Pu Cao simply salute and it was over.

Zhang Gui'er was so angry that her face turned red, and she didn't dare to say much in the end, so she picked out the five most difficult words to write, picked up branches to make pens, and scratched them on the black soil, wanting to see the jokes of Pucao.

It's a pity that Pu Caoyuan has a foundation of simplified characters, and it is much easier to learn seal characters, but I learned the tea kung fu, and Zhang Gui'er's mouth opened wide and he didn't close it for a long time.

You know, because he couldn't learn these words, his palms were punched out by Mr. two inches high red and swollen, I didn't expect the original cowardly and wooden sister-in-law to learn quickly, which made him who has always boasted of being smart How can he be embarrassed, so the heart of victory is even more powerful, and he sacrificed ten complex seal characters, and as a result, Pucao was quickly learned, so angry that he wanted to open his sister-in-law's brain to see, how many holes were opened?

The two uncles and sisters-in-law are like this, one teaches and the other learns, but in half a month, they actually have almost a thousand-word literature, Zhang Guier thought hard all night, and in the end she was unwilling, and began to teach arithmetic again.

However, this time he even wanted to drown himself directly into the river next to him, because Pucao had only been studying for two days and had started to be his husband in turn.

Peach Blossom and Shanzi didn't know what to do, and they followed along all day to join in the fun, seeing that their brother's face was blue and red, and their sister-in-law was triumphant, they smiled very happily.

The days were in the family's learning and laughter, and in the chatter and horror of the villagers, half a month passed quickly.

The autumn harvest is finally coming, in the fields outside the village, because of God's care for a year, the wind and rain are smooth, the bud cob of the big spike is wearing a golden coat, swaggering in the autumn wind, showing off its fullness and fruitfulness, the farmers can see this, each smiling face, this is the hope of next year's fullness, the new padded jacket of the child during the New Year, the tobacco leaves of the elderly, the new wooden hairpin of the daughter-in-law...

Every household took out the baskets and sickles they had prepared, and prepared to harvest the buds and come back, and then went up the mountain to collect ginseng herbs, hunt and sell furs, and then they could have a beautiful cat winter.

Pu Cao also made an exception this night to brand a few bud cakes, cooked wild vegetable porridge, took the children to eat to their heart's content, thinking that they would get up early tomorrow morning and start harvesting the land, so after eating, the family put out the fire early and went to sleep.

When she didn't want to sleep until midnight, she suddenly heard a sound of shooing, and occasionally a crisp clicking sound, obviously the sound of someone stepping on the bud straw, her first thought was that Zhang Er's family came to "help collect the land" again.

This bud valley is a very key part of Pucao's fortune, whoever moves this bud valley is to move her future good life, how can she not be annoyed, and she will get up with a turnover!

Shanzi and Peach Blossom were originally curled up beside her, but they were also driven to wake up, Shanzi rubbed her eyes and asked in a low voice, "Sister, what's wrong?" ”

Pu Cao raised his index finger to his lips to signal him to silence, and then said in a low voice, "I'm afraid that the second uncle's family will come to steal the bud valley again, I'll go over with your brother to take a look, and when I catch someone, you will light a fire." ”

The two children responded, and cautiously followed her out of the shack, Zhang Guier happened to be tied up and taken out, and the two didn't have to look at each other in the night, and it was not the first time they caught the thief, so they turned around and touched the bud valley with a tacit understanding.

Pu Cao couldn't get angry in the end, so he touched a wrist-thick wooden stick on the side of the shack, thinking about snorting a few times for a while, so that he could get angry. Zhang Guier vaguely saw it, but turned his head and pretended not to see it.

The two of them entered the bud valley one after the other, Zhang Guier outflanked the back as usual, Pu Cao took a stick and tiptoed to the black shadow not far away, just about to pounce on it, suddenly felt that something was wrong, as if the black shadow was too strong, and the movement was extremely clumsy, and there was a faint sound of heavy breathing, could it...

Pu Cao's frightened face turned pale, her whole body stiffened, and she desperately shouted in her heart that she couldn't be afraid, and she wanted to hurry up and pull Zhang Gui'er to escape, but her legs were uncontrollable and trembling, and her feet seemed to be nailed to the ground. ”

The shadow howled suddenly, and straightened up...

Zhang Gui'er pinched another stone that was not thrown out in one hand, and saw in horror that the black shadow suddenly became extremely tall, with a pair of big eyes like copper bells, flashing fiercely under the silver-white moonlight, staring straight at himself, he instantly weakened his legs, fell to his knees with a puff, his lips trembled, "Bear... Bear! ”

(The beginning of a new book is always very difficult to write, and a lot of hair is tired during the flowering period, so don't be too thin, friends, collect it first, give a ticket, and soon get fat.) )
