Friends, I'm going to take a train tomorrow to go far away, almost across the entire north and south of China, haha, go to my husband on a business trip!! Therefore, between the 20th and the 26th, it will be changed to a single shift every day.

I'm really sorry, hehe, thank you for your support and understanding, I will work harder after the flowering period!! Wishing me all the best on my first long journey. Hug!! ）

Pucao finally regained a little face, and didn't care so much about him, picking up his boots and baking them on the bench next to the stove.

The two children were so novel, seeing that Fang Jie was wearing new shoes, he looked at his sister-in-law while biting the snack in his hand. Pu Cao came back with the brewed tea, and when he saw them like this, he couldn't help but say angrily, "Don't be greedy, you two have it too!" It's just the sole of the shoe, and it can only be made tomorrow. ”

The two children immediately accepted the pitiful looks, smiled and threw themselves into their sister-in-law's arms to be coquettish, and the dim sum foam in their hands inevitably stained with the grass. Pucao pretended to be angry, patted them twice on the back, and then pushed them down to play.

Fang Jie took all this in his eyes, only to feel that the bitter cold all the way seemed to dissipate in an instant, and the warmth that made him miss even though he had only been away for a few days re-entered his heart and spleen, flowing through every meridian and pore in his body...

Pu Cao touched the intricate patterns carved on the two wooden boxes, and guessed that this must not be a bargain, so he said, "If you come again next time, don't break the bank like this, there is no shortage of food at home." ”

Fang Jie ignored it when he heard it, changed his hand and opened another large wooden box, and said with a smile, "There are still a few sets of four treasures in the study, all of which are stored in my warehouse." It's easy to get mildewy when you put it in plain water, so it's better to use it for children to learn words. ”

Pu Cao's diary and writing letters at these times have to go to Zhang Guier to borrow pen and ink, which makes Zhang Gui frown and pout, as if he was robbed @robbed. It's not that this kid learned Zhang Er's stingy temperament, it's really because there is too little paper and ink, and it was bought for Zhang Fuer when he was alive. This kid thinks about his brother's goodness and doesn't know when he can add it again, so he cherishes it very much.

Pu Cao also felt that it was very troublesome to open her mouth to borrow, and she had to pat her mouth in annoyance every time. Why did you get money from selling vegetables that day, and all you bought was food, and you forgot about this important thing.

At this time, when she saw that the box was full of paper inkstones, and counted exactly four sets, she couldn't help but ask happily, "How do you know that I am short of pen and ink?" I'm also thinking about asking Dongzi to bring some for me next time I come back. ”

Seeing that she liked her so much, Fang Jie's heart fell to the ground, and he responded with a smile, "There are still a lot of them in my treasury, and you don't have to spend money to buy them in the future, I will send them often." ”

Pu Cao took a palm-sized cyan inkstone and looked at it, and retorted casually, "How can that be done?" I was already very grateful when you gave me the money to build a greenhouse, but I can't just ask for your good things. ”

"It's all ordinary things, even if you put them in the shop and sell them, they only cost a few hundred dollars. Sending it to you is of some use, but it's better than putting it in the storeroom. Fang Jie took two ink blocks and threw them on the wooden collapse, casually depreciating the dozens of taels of things as if they were worthless.

Pucao has been struggling to fill her stomach since she crossed over, and she really doesn't have much contact with these "luxury things" that only rich and noble families can afford. She flipped through the half-foot-thick rice paper under the wooden box, and took a closer look at Fang Jie's indifferent expression, barely believing his words. But he still hesitated a little and said, "No matter how cheap these pens and paper are, they can't be collected in vain..."

Fang Jie raised his eyebrows, and before she could say the words to give the money, he hurriedly stopped and said, "If you think you have taken advantage of it, it is better to exchange gifts and give me something." ”

Pu Cao thought about it when she heard this, and felt that if she paid the money, it would hurt Fang Jie's kindness, so it would be more appropriate to give gifts to each other, so she said, "Okay, we don't have any good things in the farm, just don't dislike it." ”

Fang Jie waved his hand, directly pointed to the strange shoes on his feet, and said with a smile, "I wear these shoes very comfortably, why don't I give them here." ”

"Slippers?" Pu Cao didn't expect him to ask for this crude thing, and he was a little embarrassed, "My craftsmanship is really not good, if you are dressed and someone sees it, I'm afraid..."

"Don't be afraid, I'm just wearing a novelty in the inner room, and outsiders can't see it."

Pu Cao pursed her lips, and felt that something was wrong in her heart. But the gifts from people are very rich, and she also has a pair of rabbit skin slippers that are extremely light, and it is really a little too much to say if she wants to refuse again.

So he had to nod his head and answer, "If you don't dislike it, take it, if it's someone else's joke, you can't blame me." ”

"No blame, no blame." Fang Jie heard her agree, and the smile between his eyebrows and eyes immediately deepened by three points, and he turned his head and shouted to the two children, "Peach Blossom, Shanzi come here, Brother Fang will teach you to write with pen and ink." ”

The two children ran over with cheers, stretched out their little hands to touch the paper and pen in the box, and their eyes were very cute.

Fang Jie set up an inkstone on the small wooden table, and poured a few drops of tea to teach them how to study ink.

Pu Cao looked at it for a while, then went to the corner and got a kitchen knife and soaked bud skin and began to cut vegetables. This time there were two more pools of spinach than last time, and Chunni and Liu Housheng were not there, so she naturally had to prepare earlier.

Fang Jie taught the two children to hold a pen, and wrote a few words for them to practice, and when he raised his eyes again, he saw Pu Cao half-bent over busy in the green vegetable pool. The sunlight shining from the roof of the shed shrouded her in a faint halo around her, as if it was extremely warm and very charming.

He couldn't help but get up and walk over slowly, raised his slightly trembling fingers to touch the halo, but was startled by the pu grass that turned his head and turned to grab a spinach, and said with an embarrassed smile, "This spinach looks shorter than the previous one." ”

Pu Cao wiped a handful of fine sweat from the corners of his forehead and responded, "In fact, the time is about the same as the previous stubble, but the snow is diligent during these days, and the grass curtain can't be opened to bask in the sun during the day, so it doesn't grow as well as the stubble." ”

Fang Jie seemed to be extremely curious, and reached out to puff the spinach roots, and the muddy water on the edge of the wooden box inevitably rubbed against his cuffs and placket.

Pu Cao saw that a good brocade robe had changed into a rag, and she grinned in distress, and hurriedly pushed him, "Go and sit over there, this work is dirty, don't touch your hands." ”

Fang Jie flicked his sleeves indifferently and said with a smile, "The left and right are also dirty, you can't be busy alone, I'll help you take a hand." ”

Pu Cao turned her head to look at the two pools of shallots, one pool of garlic seedlings, and two pools of cabbage, and it was indeed a little difficult for her to work alone. So, after only a slight hesitation, he picked up the lightest work, and said, "Then you can help me bundle the vegetables." ”

"Okay, the bundle is strong and durable." Fang Jie smiled and rolled up his sleeves and took a piece of bud grain skin, he was already a smart person, he listened to Pu Cao's teaching, and it really looked like a bundle.

The two of them cut vegetables and bundled vegetables, and they cooperated very tacitly. Pu Cao was much more relaxed and had the strength to gossip, and remembering what she had entrusted in her letter, she asked, "Did the coarse salt I asked you buy also come with you?" ”

"It's here, I ordered Dongzi to send it directly to your house." Fang Jie's subordinates bundled a handful of spinach and put it aside, and asked casually, "How do you buy so much coarse salt?" If you eat it at home, it should be fine salt and clean. ”

Although Pu Cao regarded him as half a friend, he still couldn't tell him the real use, so he just smiled and said perfunctorily, "I want to pickle vegetables, just use coarse salt." ”

A look of doubt flashed in Fang Jie's half-drooping eyes, but he also turned to talk about other things with interest, "The day before yesterday, our restaurant undertook a birthday banquet, and your dishes are very popular with the guests. ”

"Is that true?" Pu Cao smiled and shook off the soil on the spinach root, and said happily, "I'm still worried that no one will know the goods, but I've thought of two more recipes in the past few days, and I've written them down, so take them when you leave." ”

"You also said that it was too light to use slippers as a gift in return, if you add this recipe, I will take advantage of it."

Perhaps because Fang Jie was also stained with black mud on his hands, or because his brocade robe had completely become a rag, while the two were busy, Pu Cao gradually forgot his identity. Really treat him as a familiar friend, busy talking and laughing together, and occasionally his words will fall into the wind and he will stare at him with wide eyes to add momentum to himself.

Although Fang Jie's arms were sore and his sleeves were soaked, he was strangely not tired at all, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth never fell. He didn't have time to wonder why he liked to be close to this woman, to listen to her, and even to see her glaring at him angrily.

He just wanted this time to go on forever, to have someone by his side, not because of his money, his origin, his looks, but because he was someone he could trust, sharing joys and sorrows...

Unfortunately, such a time is still too short. Outside the greenhouse, someone was already shouting, "Pucao, Pucao, but someone from the city is picking up vegetables?" ”

A flash of disappointment flashed across Fang Jie's face, and he took two steps back quietly. Chunni and Liu Housheng, whose faces were red from the cold, pushed the door in and saw him, and they were really shocked, "Oh, Fang Gongzi, why are you here in person?" Still... Hands-on work? Give it to me, give it to me. ”

Chunni almost snatched the bud grain skin in Xia Jie's hand, and Liu Housheng also hurriedly led him to sit on the wooden couch, rubbing his big hands and laughing very embarrassedly, "It's too late for us to believe in it, but we are tired of Fang Gongzi to help do this rough work." ”

Fang Jie smiled reluctantly, shook his head and said, "It's okay, I also think it's novel, and I didn't help much." ”

Over there, Chunni was also quietly counting the grass while bundling vegetables, "You are really bold, if no one is working, you let Peach Blossom call us, why did you catch Fang Gongzi for help?" Rich sons are delicate and expensive, and if we cut off our hands or hurt somewhere, we are really guilty. ”

Pu Cao shrugged, wanting to argue a few words but was afraid that Chunni's nagging would not end, so he quickly smiled and admitted his mistake, "I'm too busy either, I didn't think about it so much, I must not catch him to work next time." ”

Chun Nier glared at her, she was extremely skilled in bundling vegetables, naturally much sharper than Fang Jie, a novice, and soon the two of them finished cutting spinach and cabbage. Liu Housheng had already finished pulling out the shallots and putting them in the basket, Chunni took the remaining pool of garlic seedlings, and went to cook with the grass, "You go and think about some good dishes to entertain Fang Gongzi, my craft is still good at eating at home, and I can't get on the big table." ”

Pu Cao nodded, and after a few words, he was going out to go back to the front yard. Fang Jie was watching the two children write, and when he saw this, he said, "Don't bother preparing meals for me, whatever you eat at home on weekdays, I'll just eat with you." ”

Pu Cao smiled and agreed, but it was not easy to take it seriously and serve the big cakes and bud porridge that he usually eats to entertain the guests. So she went around in circles in the stove to pick up the inventory at home, and she really thought of a delicious and simple food.

When she had an idea, she quickly mixed the noodles and cut the vegetables, and as soon as she was ready, she put them all on a small panel and went to the greenhouse at the back.

Chunni had just finished cutting the garlic seedlings, and when she saw that she was moving so much, she asked, "What, you want to cook here?" ”

Pucao placed the panel and said with a smile, "It's too cold for the fire in the front room, so let's just eat here." ”
