Pu Cao was hesitant, but he heard a crisp sound of "clang" next to him. When everyone heard the reputation, it turned out that it was Shanzi and Peach Blossom, two children, who saw Zhang Er's father and son entering the door, and hurriedly carried the box containing copper coins in their hands to hide in the house. I didn't want the box full of copper coins to be too heavy, so the two of them could lift it, and their hands sore and spilled on the ground.

Shanzi and Peach Blossom felt that they were in trouble, and they were about to cry with their mouths open. Pu Cao hurriedly stepped forward and hugged them to comfort them, "It's okay, it's okay." It's good to sprinkle the copper coin and pick it up, Shanzi and Peach Blossom are good children, you can't just drop the golden bean, what a shame. ”

Several villagers standing close to him also smiled and helped turn over the box, picked up the copper coins and threw them in. The dog leftover was originally hiding behind his father, but at this time, he saw that there were copper coins all over the ground, and his little eyes turned around, and after hesitating for a moment, he ran forward and pretended to help pick it up, but in fact, he took advantage of the chaos to hide most of it and stuffed it into his sleeve pocket.

He thought he was doing it unconsciously, but he didn't expect Shanziren's small eyes to be sharp, and he pointed at him and shouted loudly, "Sister, he stuffed copper coins into his sleeve." ”

Gou Yu'er was so shocked that his subordinates trembled, raised his head and saw that everyone was frowning and glaring at him, and hurriedly laughed twice and pretended to scold Shanzi, "How can this kid casually accuse a good person, I am kind enough to help, why did it become a thief of money?" ”

Shanzi already felt that he was in trouble, but at this time he was scolded by the big villain in his mind, his little face was flushed with anger, and he cried, "I didn't lie, he stuffed money into his sleeve, I saw it!" ”

The dog leftover quietly rolled his sleeves and guessed that there were more than 100 yuan, which was enough for him to gamble a few times. So he stood up and pretended to be extremely annoyed, and shouted, "Kindness is regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs, since you treat me as a thief, I will leave." ”

When he had said this, he turned around and ran out. Although everyone was annoyed, they always felt that this was the Zhang family's affair and it was not easy to interfere, so after such a hesitation, they saw that the dog was already at the gate of the courtyard.

It's a pity that the dog leftover didn't look at the yellow calendar when he went out today, and his luck was extremely bad. He saw that everyone was not chasing, and he was still snickering in his heart, and he didn't want to be proud for a moment and just care about his feet, but his head suddenly hit a person. As he staggered backwards, he stepped on another rock, and when he was unsteady on his feet, he fell to the ground.

The copper coins hidden in his sleeve ran out of a dozen pieces, and at this moment, a lotus flower was born on the tip of his tongue, and it was difficult to deny it.

Li Zheng and a few clan elders who had just entered the door saw that everyone had strange faces, and the dog leftovers were embarrassed again, so they frowned and asked, "What's going on?" ”

Without waiting for everyone to respond, Gou Yu'er hurriedly got up and covered up indiscriminately, "It's okay, it's okay, I have an urgent matter at home, so I'll go back." He said that he was about to run out, but Pu Cao called Liu Housheng, "Brother Liu, stop him!" ”

Although Liu Housheng didn't understand what was going on, he still grabbed the dog. He was already burly, but the dog was as thin as a weasel, and he grabbed it in his hand as if he was carrying a doll.

The dog leftover pulled his neck and shouted, "What are you doing with me, you let go of me, let go!" ”

Pu Cao also walked to a few elders and Li Zheng at this time, and after she bowed her head and saluted respectfully, she said with a slightly wry smile, "Originally, the family killed pigs, and invited the elders to come over to drink wine and eat meat, but I didn't expect the elders to follow our family to worry about it again." Just now, the second uncle and Gou Yu'er came to the door, and I wanted to invite them to sit in the house, but Gou Yu'er actually took advantage of the child's efforts to knock over the money box and stole a lot of meat money..."

Without waiting for Pu Cao to continue, the hot-tempered Kong Wuye was the first to get annoyed, stepped forward and grabbed the sleeve of the dog leftovers and pulled it violently, and the copper coins in the sleeve pocket crackled and fell out. The old man scolded loudly, "This thing that doesn't change, the money stolen from his family has been stolen!" Son, throw him out of here! ”

Li Zheng also pointed at Zhang Er, who looked embarrassed, and scolded, "You also get out of here for me, what is the fun when you have nothing to do?" With this kung fu, teach children how to behave! ”

Liu Housheng took the dog and threw it out violently, and the dog left was embedded in the snowdrift next to the door with a chirp, so painful that he didn't get up for a long time. Zhang Er was also scolded for blushing and thick-necked, walking out of the courtyard gate with low eyebrows, seeing that his son was still struggling in the snowdrift, not only did he not help, but he stepped forward and kicked him twice, and then walked away with a snort.

Liu Shuisheng saw his brother in power for a while, his face turned pale with fright, and he quietly moved under the courtyard wall under his feet, eager to turn himself into a transparent person.

How could Liu Housheng not see his younger brother, but his father and mother were really too ruthless. He pretended not to see it with a ruthless heart, and led Li Zheng and others into the house to serve tea.

As soon as Liu Shuisheng saw that the courtyard door was wide open, and no one stopped him, he immediately spread his legs and feet and rushed out.

The villagers in the village are all angry that the Liu family disregards the interests of the whole village and grows vegetables in private, everyone expects their family to be unlucky, and no one is willing to speak out.

As soon as these three disgusting characters comparable to toads left, the Zhang family quickly resumed its previous liveliness. The women helped the children finish sorting the copper coins and began to busily divide the dishes and chopsticks.

The pig-killing vegetables in the cauldron have been boiling for half an hour, the fat in the pork belly has been absorbed by the sauerkraut and vermicelli, and the occasional soup in the gap is suddenly popping up on the surface of the blood sausage, which is really mouthwatering. Everyone was attracted by the fragrance, and they came to praise and said, "This pig-killing dish tastes really good." ”

Pu Cao smiled and handed over the rest of the chores to everyone, and rushed to the stove to fry shredded potatoes and fried pork slices with wide noodles.

At this time, the large pot of pig-killing vegetables was already steaming on the table, causing everyone to swallow their saliva secretly. In another cauldron, large pieces of meat that had already been cooked were also cut into thin slices, stacked in layers on clay plates, poured with minced garlic, soy sauce, and coriander.

Liu Housheng called Dong Si to go to his house and moved two jars of bud wine back, and the two tables of male guests happened to be one table and one jar.

Zhang Guier didn't need Pucao to shout under the window at this time, and took the initiative to enter the house and sit side by side with Liu Housheng to accompany the guests. The patriarch and Li Zheng asked about reading and other things, and he also replied politely, and he kept rolling his eyes when he saw the magpie who came into the house to deliver food.

Pu Cao was busy picking steamed buns in the stove room, and when he saw the magpie coming in, he said, "Take this steamed bun to the back room with a basket first, and the men are afraid that they will drink first, and then serve it hot when they open their mouths to ask for steamed buns." ”

The magpie took the basket, endured and endured it and whispered, "You are so busy, you really don't know what to do?" People snatched all the credit without doing anything! ”

Pu Cao was stunned, and when she understood that the person in her words meant Zhang Gui'er, she raised her eyebrows and asked, "What, are you holding grievances for me?" ”

The magpie's face was slightly embarrassed, and he didn't say anything, hugged the basket and lifted his legs out of the stove. Leaving Pucao standing in place, smiling more and more proudly. This girl is really not a person without conscience, and she has only been in the door for a few days and already knows that she is upset, and she will get along for a long time in the future, maybe she is really a loyal and good helper.

Chunnier didn't see the shadow of Pucao'er in the house for a long time, so she came over and shouted, "Pucao, hurry up and go in, I'm waiting for you to start the banquet." ”

Pu Cao took off her apron, first greeted the women who were standing and gossiping in the grass shed, and said with a smile, "Sisters-in-law, the table has already been set up in the stove, you go and eat while it's hot." I've been busy for a long time, and I don't taste it again, but I'm too sorry for my stomach. ”

The women all laughed when they heard this, and each beckoned the children holding steamed buns at the door to sit in the stove. Mrs. Li took her two daughters-in-law and two little grandchildren, together with Mrs. Dong, Mrs. Chen, as well as Shanzi and Peach Blossom to sit around, and when she saw Mrs. Lizheng coming in, she hurriedly gave her a place.

Pu Cao walked to the elders' table, picked up the wine jar and filled everyone with wine, and then said with a smile, "The elders have your brother and Brother Liu to accompany me, so I won't have much to do." The food and drinks in the kitchen are all sufficient, and if there is anything missing, just call me. ”

The clan elder and Li were eating good wine and food, and they were treated with such respect, everyone was satisfied and red-faced, and when they heard this, they nodded and smiled, "Everyone knows that you are a hospitable and generous girl, so naturally you will not be polite and restrained." You should also go to dinner, remember to be hard-hearted in the future, so as not to be bullied all the time. ”

Pu Cao said yes with a smile, and went to the stove to greet the women a few words, and then turned back to the house and sat on the edge of the kang to accompany everyone while gossiping and eating and drinking.

Aunt Chen and Mrs. Dong are all diligent and kind-hearted in their hearts, and they can see that she is busy greeting guests for a while, for fear that she will eat less meat. This chopstick vermicelli and the chopstick meat slice have long piled up her clay bowl like a hilltop. Pu Cao smiled and divided the two children, and saw that they were eating happily, as if they were not frightened by what had just happened, so they were completely relieved.

Not to mention how lively the courtyard of the Zhang family is, how happy everyone is eating and drinking. only said that the dog leftover was thrown by Liu Housheng as if all his internal organs had been moved.

He finally got up and moved home, and just as he saw his father raise his hand and slap his mother twice. He didn't have to guess to know, it must be that his father was angry, and he was squeezed by the old lady who didn't know how to look at him, so he used his head to get angry.

Thinking that the old lady was about to lie down on the ground and roll on the ground and cry and scold, he was even more bored, so he simply didn't go into the house, and ran to Feng Gouzi's house in the next village despite the wind and snow.

The old man and the old lady of the Feng family both contracted the wind and cold last year, the family was already poor and had no money, and the only child was unfilial, and in the end, the old couple was sick and died. Now Chen Gouzi is completely free, usually gather the idle boys from various villages to gamble at home, if anyone steals a chicken and catches a dog one day, he will also bring him here to fight tooth sacrifices, and for a while he has faintly become a leader-like figure.

On this day, there were four or five people in Feng's house gambling on pai gow, and when they were on the rise, they suddenly saw the dog shivering and opened the door and came in, Feng Gouzi was the first to shout, "Why did you come here, did you find the money somewhere?" Hurry up and pay the bill, you still owe me thirty yuan. (I delayed for a few hours in the afternoon for something, so this one is even late, and I hope that there are not many friends who are waiting with sleepiness, and the flowering period will not be able to go.) Thank you all for your support and good night! ）
