On a winter night, the wind and snow are blowing bigger than the day, and the cold wind mixed with snow particles smashes on the face more painful than a knife cut.

Old man Liu looked at the darkness in the courtyard and couldn't help but scold, "What two lazy ghosts, they just fell asleep at any hour." ”

He didn't expect that their family was also lying in the quilt just now, and Mrs. Liu reached out to smash the door panel, shouting at the top of her voice, "Chunnier got up and opened the door... Ahem! ”

She shouted with her mouth open, it was the wind and snow that had nowhere to play, but she got the opportunity, and quickly poured in it and walked around, choking her and coughing wildly.

Old man Liu disliked the old woman and was useless, so he pushed her aside and kicked her up.

Unfortunately, their own son was on duty in an adobe house in the back garden and could not hear any movement at all. And Chunni couldn't bear to be lonely at night, so she moved her bunk and went to Pucao. At this time, he was also lying on the big kang and falling asleep. Wandering in a dream in a good day, even her saliva is full of sweetness, where is there time to take care of this pair of unscrupulous in-laws.

Old man Liu kicked his toes and was numb, and his voice was hoarse, but no one came out. It was when he was thinking about whether to work his old arms and legs to climb over the @ wall and enter, but a few birds and finches in the poplar trees on the side of the road were surprisingly angry.

Everyone is judging, is it easy for them to be birds? In the big winter, there is little food, and it is just a matter of making a fuss by running hard to find it during the day, and finally I can get a good night's sleep and rest, this old man of mankind is arguing like a convulsion, Uncle Bird doesn't threaten you and I don't exist.

Thinking like this, a few birds chirped a few words and discussed their plan of action, spread their wings and flew out of their nests, carrying their most powerful and instinctive weapon, dung, and began the night raid.

The old man and the old lady of the Liu family were so cold that they shrank their necks and were discussing a solution, not wanting to hear a crackling sound suddenly, and they thought it was snow particles hitting their bodies, so they didn't care much.

Later, a piece of bird was thrown directly on Old Man Liu's face by the naughty north wind afterburner, and he was so shocked that he touched it casually, only then did he notice something unusual, and scolded angrily, "What is this, why is it so stinky!" ”

When Mrs. Liu heard this, she looked up, and unexpectedly she was smashed all over her face, and the two of them cursed and jumped to find a place to hide, but unfortunately there was a snowdrift nearby, where was there a place for them. Seeing the two of them like this, the bird was even more excited, and chased them relentlessly to continue to expand the results, eager to throw out all the excrement in advance for the next year, and smashed the old couple of the Liu family to flee with their heads in their hands.

The birds flapped their wings and chased hard and persistently, and finally drove the two humans who dared to disturb the birds' dreams out of the territory, and then they returned to the nest and continued to sleep quietly.

The old couple of the Liu family were not good at teaching and were stained with bird droppings, not to mention how angry they were. Naturally, they will not reflect on their greed, and this account is still counted on the eldest husband and wife.

Liu Shuisheng finally looked forward to his father and mother coming back, and when he saw their foul-smelling embarrassed appearance, he was surprised, "What's the matter, you guys went to the bird's nest." ”

Old man Liu jumped up and slapped his son on the head, which was a little breathless, and scolded, "I'm too full to dig out the bird's nest?" If you don't boil water, you can't sleep without washing. ”

Mrs. Liu was also depressed when she took off her padded jacket, and regretted, "I knew that the birds outside the birth gate would go crazy, so I changed into a torn padded jacket." ”

Liu Shuisheng was so anxious that he stomped his feet, and he was not afraid of his father's slap, so he asked, "Have you seen my eldest brother, did he give the silver?" ”

Old man Liu glared and said hatefully, "That unfilial thing!" Your mother and I were about to smash the door panel, and he didn't even say it to take a look. ”

Liu Shuisheng wanted to say something, but he was kicked out by his father, so he had to boil water.

Chunni didn't know that her in-laws were already red-eyed, and she was thinking about "escrowing" the silver taels for her.

After a good night's sleep, I got up early and got dressed, washed and cleaned, and started to make breakfast. The two of them are now on duty in the greenhouse at night and the other helping to cut vegetables and water them, so it can be said that they are completely tied to the Zhang family.

Naturally, she often eats food in one place on weekdays, and she refuses to carry some food over several times. She stopped being polite and snatched the errand of cooking instead. When it comes to trading, she doesn't have the ability to do business, but she can put in more strength.

After Pucao got up, he took the cotton jackets and cotton pants of the two children and roasted them on the brazier, and then beckoned the two children, who were covered in the quilt and only showed their small heads, to get dressed and get up.

Peach Blossom is sensible, and she put it on quickly while the heat of the padded jacket has not dissipated. Shanzi was sleepy and lazy, blinking pitifully with big eyes for a while and saying that the cotton pants were not hot enough, and then saying that he had a headache, which made Pucao angry and funny.

Chunni happened to come back from the stove with a cool air, and when she heard this kid playing tricks, she secretly reached into the quilt and touched his little buttocks.

The sudden chill provoked the lazy boy to get up immediately, and shouted with a deflated mouth, "Sister Chun is bad, bully Shanzi!" ”

Pu Cao was afraid that he would really catch a cold, so he hurriedly coaxed him to dress, "Shanzi is a manly man, how can he be afraid of the cold, come, sister will help you put on a padded jacket." After washing your face, you will eat, and there will be steamed eggs today. ”

Previously, he got the deposit back from Fang Jie, in addition to buying things to prepare for planting vegetables, Pu Cao thought that the two children and Zhang Gui'er were growing up, so he thought about supplementing them with nutrition. It's a pity that there is nothing to eat in the yard of the mountain village, only the eggs raised by the chickens raised by the villagers are not bad.

So she often asks who has saved eggs on weekdays, and takes copper coins to buy some every other day. Two pennies and three eggs, just three children are two pennies a day. If you buy a piece of tofu and stew some potatoes and cabbage, it is enough for the family to eat enough, and no one can be reluctant to put it in anyone's house.

But Pucao endured the distress and made it for the children every day, and the effect was of course obvious. Not to mention that Peach Blossom and Shanzi's little faces are becoming rounder day by day, even Zhang Guier's originally slightly pale face is much better.

Compared with scrambled eggs and boiled, Shanzi loves egg custard the most. At this moment, you can immediately feast on it, and immediately become eyebrows and smiles. Wearing jackets and pants, he automatically and spontaneously ran to wash his face and hands, causing him to laugh and call him a greedy cat.

At one time, the meal was on the table, and the big and small sat down to eat, and the three children had a bowl of tender egg custard in front of each person, and the soup was floated with golden oil slicks, accompanied by a small rub of green green onions.

Chunni saw that the children were eating sweetly, but Pucao was chewing pickle strips and drinking porridge, so she persuaded, "Now that you have to sell vegetables, you can eat more good ones to nourish your body in the future." If you have a physical problem, who does this family expect? ”

Pu Cao swallowed the bud porridge in his mouth and said with a smile, "I know, remember to remind me to ask who has eggs when I come to eat today, and just buy more and come back." ”

Chuniel nodded, and turned to which guests to invite. Uncle Li Jiu, Uncle Kong Wu, and Dong Si, who helped when they gave birth to a leg injury, must be invited, plus the two or three families who gave gifts when they first moved in, and the family of Aunt Chen, who got along very well, calculated that there were more than a dozen men and women together, and it was enough to open two tables.

As for the dishes, yesterday I went into the city to buy fresh meat, fungus and roast chicken, and there are cabbage and potato vermicelli at home.

Zhang Gui'er ate the steamed eggs in the bowl, and listened to the discussion between the two, and her brows gradually wrinkled. Seeing that everyone had put down their chopsticks and was about to withdraw from the table, he couldn't help but ask, "The elders should be invited to the banquet at home, shouldn't the second uncle say something?" ”

Chunni looked at Pucao's face, for fear that she would quarrel with Zhang Gui'er again, so she smiled and said, "The elders naturally want to invite..."

"Yes, it is appropriate to invite the elders to eat the noodles." Pu Cao interrupted Chunni's words while slowly picking up the dishes and chopsticks, "However, this elder is the elder of the Liu family, not my Zhang family." ”

"Why?" Zhang Gui'er's eyes widened in annoyance, and her eyebrows stood up, "Could it be that my Zhang family is now in charge of the Liu family?" If you don't invite your elders, you want to invite outsiders to come, do you want people to scold me that the Zhang family doesn't know how to be polite? ”

Pu Cao sneered, threw the chopsticks into the clay pot and said, "Because today is the Liu family's banquet, and it is a serious family who is good friends with the Liu family." Our Zhang family is just... Guest! ”

Zhang Guier originally thought that he had occupied the moral high ground again, and was ready to relive the joy of reprimanding his sister-in-law for his unfilial piety that day, but unfortunately, Pu Cao's words knocked him off the high platform of a saint. It's not your Zhang family who is entertaining, what Zhang family members are you invited? Do you want to dominate the crowd?

and the words of the serious family also deeply pierced the sore spot in his heart, and the virtue of the second uncle's family always made him angry, even if he had the heart to defend it, he was even more embarrassed every time.

Chunni saw that Zhang Guier's face was blue and red, so she hurriedly played a round and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's too crowded." After a while, I asked Shengzi to personally invite Second Uncle Zhang's family. ”

Pu Cao shook her head, "No need, you don't owe him family favors, don't make trouble." ”

Zhang Guier couldn't listen anymore, got up and opened the door and went out.

Chunni grinned and whispered, "You can't let him say a few words." It's just a bowl of wine and a few pieces of meat, and my family can afford it. ”

Pu Cao lowered his head and picked up the table indifferently, and said with a smile, "Some people's brains were caught by the door, and people hit him on the left cheek, not only did he not hold a grudge, but he also wanted to send the right cheek again." What kind of bullshit saint gentleman pretend! ”

Chunni listened interestingly, laughed out loud, and finally stopped persuading, got up and went to the stove to pick up food and send it to the greenhouse.

Just after noon, several families who had been invited by Chunni entered Liu's house one after another, the women helped Chunni to prepare the meals in the stove, and the men were accompanied by Liu Housheng to sit in the hall drinking water and gossiping.

Xu is the family has income, and the future livelihood will be relied on. Liu Housheng sat in a chair, his back straightened, and his laughter was much louder than before. (After reading this chapter, I hate Zhang Guier's friends even more, etc., haha, I guess there will be a small change in a few chapters.) ）
