Chapter 160: A New Neighbor

After a lively meal, the two old men were already half drunk, and they helped each other back to Liu's house for a nap. Liu Housheng was also shaking under his feet, but he insisted on rushing to the greenhouse to take care of the fire, and he could take a nap by the way.

A group of old girls gathered on the big kang to cut fabrics, fly needles and threads, and make children's clothes. After a busy afternoon, it was fruitful, and I sewed two pieces of small clothes and pants alone. Mrs. Liu also tossed out a tiger head hat, which was embroidered lifelike, very delicate and cute. Everyone passed on a closer look, and they were all full of praise.

Mrs. Liu said vigorously that her skills were rude, but the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were wrinkled.

When it was getting dark, Mrs. Liu was worried about some small work at home and was about to leave and go back, so Pu Cao casually took a box of snacks bought in the city and stuffed it to her. Mrs. Liu refused to accept it, and wanted to apologize for the past with a guilty face. Pu Cao stopped and smiled, "Auntie, the past is over, let's just live a good life in the future." ”

Old Mrs. Liu nodded vigorously, "Okay, okay, my aunt must live a good life and stop doing that bastard thing." ”

Mrs. Li smiled and stepped forward to help her old in-laws to the gate of the hospital, and happened to meet the old man Liu who woke up and came out of the next door, so the old couple went home together.

Chunni stepped forward and hugged her mother's arm, said hello to Pucao, and the mother and daughter also went back to their house to talk about themselves. Pucao heated the leftovers and steamed four bowls of egg custard, and went to bed early after taking the family's large and small snacks.

On this day, whether it was hard work or noisy banquets, it all came to a complete end in the thick night. The magpie was lying in the bed, and she had been chattering a few words about Nian Enyuan before, after all, she had lived there for a few years, and she had been out for a few months, and she was inevitably worried in her heart. As a result, Pu Cao just answered two sentences, and heard her snoring slightly, so she had to funnily tuck the corners of the quilt for her, and touched the foreheads of Shanzi and Peach Blossom were not hot, so she fell asleep slowly with peace of mind.

After getting up early for dinner on the second day, Pu Cao remembered that the Fang family's house had not burned too cold all night, so he took the two children around the back garden, took firewood to burn the big kang in the main house, and lit a charcoal basin in the hall.

The courtyard that Fang Jie bought was not spacious, and the house was a little old after more than ten years of wind and rain, but the house was skillfully laid out by craftsmen, and a lot of wooden furnishings were pulled from the city, and the makeup was very rich and magnificent.

The two children often come to play, so Fang Jie put two boxes on the shelf, filled with snacks such as snacks and hazelnut and pine nuts. Therefore, the two children burned the kang, and when they realized that they had merit, they ran over and hugged a box of food.

Pu Cao nodded at their little brains, and after a few words of disgust, he washed a cotton towel and wiped down the tables, chairs and other things.

One big and two small were talking and laughing, and suddenly they heard Ma Ling's voice outside the door, and the two children threw down the box and ran out cheering.

Sure enough, the Fang family's carriage had stopped outside the gate, and Fang Jie opened the door and jumped out, just picking up two children who had stumbled over. He held one hand in his arms, and then looked up at Pucao standing at the door with an apron, and the smile on his face was three points brighter.

Pu Cao didn't go out to greet her, and when Fang Jie led the two children into the door, and Dongzi also brought the strange old couple to pick up the salute items on the car, she smiled and asked, "Why did you get up early and rush back?" I thought you were going to arrive in the afternoon. ”

Fang Jie smiled and pointed to the carriage pushing the two children, "Brother Fang has brought you good things, go find Dongzi to get them." ”

The two children jumped out of the house with a cheer and ran to the carriage, Fang Jie pulled the grass into the house and picked her up twice before he buried his face between her shoulders and neck and sniffed deeply, and said with a smile, "It's so nice to see you here as soon as you get home." ”

Pu Cao pushed him away, and said angrily while combing his slightly messy sideburns, "You, you, are just helping you clean up the house, why are you so happy?" Let the children see what to say! ”

Fang Jie looked at her embarrassed face as delicate as a superfine red jade, and his heart became more and more happy to drip honey, and stretched out his hand to pull her to sit on the chair and said with a smile, "I brought two old servants over this time, and they will have to do these rough jobs in the future." Just come over and drink tea and talk to me. ”

"I'll think about beautiful things, I'm busy at home, how can I have time for you to be a decoration."

The two of them laughed like this, and the two children had already run in with two boxes, and excitedly showed off their good things with Pucao.

Needless to say, Shanzi's box is also a small and delicate plaything such as a wooden horse and a wooden sword and a boat carved from walnuts. The peach blossom box is a little valuable, and at the bottom of it are four brocade purses with extremely exquisite workmanship, embroidered with the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter. On the top are a pair of skein silver bracelets and a pair of silver locks, even in this slightly dim room, you can see the silver light flowing on them, which is obviously not an ordinary color.

Fang Jie saw Pu Cao's brows furrow slightly, and hurriedly said, "Didn't I mention it last time, three days will be the birthday of the peach blossom, this is a birthday gift for her, it was all checked in the warehouse, not valuable." ”

Pu Cao thought about it, and felt that she was a little too serious, so she reached out and patted the peach blossom that carefully looked at her face, and said with a smile, "If you like it, take it." ”

The peasant family has a hard life, except when they get married, no one is willing to buy jewelry and other things for their daughters. Peach Blossom suddenly got such a shiny good thing, and she loved it very much, but she was afraid that her sister-in-law would not let her accept it, so she was struggling in her eyes, and suddenly heard her sister-in-law's words, and immediately hugged her sister-in-law happily and kissed her heavily, and finally thanked Fang Jie again.

"Peach Blossom has also become a fan of small fortune, and she is really spoiled by your sister-in-law on weekdays." Fang Jie joked with a smile that the two sisters-in-law naturally got a "two-finger Zen" from Pucao, he pretended to cry out in pain, but the smile on his face was even stronger.

The pair of old servants who had just entered the door stood outside the door with Dongzi, as if they were surprised that their master was still laughing so happily, and they looked at each other and bowed their heads deeply.

Dongzi had seen the old couple kill people without blinking an eye that day, and even had a nightmare after going back. Standing beside them at this moment, he was very frightened. He pondered for a long time and didn't dare to make them wait for a long time, so he hurriedly asked, "Childe, the salute has been unloaded, do you have any other orders?" ”

Fang Jie waved his hand to signal the old couple to enter the door, and then said to Pu Cao with a smile, "These are the two people I need to trust the most, Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang." From now on, they will stay in this courtyard, and if I am not at home on weekdays, you can ask them for help if there is anything. ”

The old couple took two steps forward and bowed in a proper manner, but they didn't say a word. It's not that they are born speechless or disdainful, but no matter how smart they are, they can't guess the identity of this woman who is dressed as a woman, but who is close to her master and laughs. In desperation, it is the best policy to keep silent.

Pu Cao looked at Fang Jie with a very solemn expression, and his heart moved, and he vaguely guessed that there must be something extraordinary about this old couple, so he hurriedly stepped forward and helped them with his own hand and said with a smile, "Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang, we will live in the same village in the future, and we will be neighbors." If there is anything missing or hindering at home, just go to my house and talk about it, don't be polite. ”

The old couple glanced at Fang Jie, and saw that he nodded slightly, so they bowed down, "Thank you... Madam! ”

Hearing their sudden voices, Pu Cao was startled, and then smiled and patted the two children and said to Fang Jie, "Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang have just arrived, I will cook two good dishes at noon and ask the magpies to bring them, so don't burn the fire." ”

Fang Jie nodded in response, and Pu Cao took the two children back from the back garden.

Shanzi was pestering all the way to go out to play with the naughty boys, Pu Cao was afraid that he would be detained ruthlessly, so he had to let go of his mouth and allow him to go next door to find the fat dun'er, and the kid immediately ran to show off with the box. Peach Blossom obediently took her sister-in-law's hand, entered the house and opened the dowry box, and happily put her first set of jewelry in it.

The stars shifted, the sun and the moon changed, and in a blink of an eye, half a moon passed, Fang Jie returned to the city every three or five days, and the rest of the time he stayed in the courtyard to study, practice martial arts, or go to the greenhouse to help.

Pu Caoyuan was also worried that the taciturn old couple would not get along well with the people in the village, so he asked the two children to send them every once in a while to make good food, and occasionally invited them to the house to gossip.

As a result, the old couple was extremely unexpected by her.

Once, the little daughter-in-law in the village came to ask for pills, saying that the little girl in the family had a cough. It just so happened that Aunt Jiang came over to gossip, and after asking a few words, she casually cut a radish, half a green onion and a few pieces of ginger, threw them into the pot and stewed them into a bowl of soup, and then asked the little daughter-in-law to take them back and give them to the child to drink.

The little daughter-in-law was still a little hesitant, but she thought that it was all radish and ginger, and she often ate it on weekdays, and if she couldn't cure the disease, she would not cure it, so she took it back to the child to drink, and didn't want the child to jump up and down the next morning.

Everyone was surprised, and after inquiry, they learned that Aunt Jiang's ancestor was from the Xinglin family, although she modestly said that she had only learned a few skins, but where did everyone believe it, everyone took this old lady who did not speak much and often had a calm face very seriously.

The men, women and children in the village, no matter who saw her, were very respectful, and the dried mushrooms, wild rabbits, and dried vegetables stored at home were sent to the Fang family like flowing water. After all, the ravine is remote, and having such a person who knows medical skills is a life-saving talisman for all the villagers.

As for Uncle Jiang, although the old man does not know medical skills, his hands are extremely dexterous, weaving baskets, baskets, brooms, and even making small tables and chairs are extremely exquisite, and he soon gained a good reputation in front of everyone in the village.

Pu Cao couldn't help but be curious, but he asked Fang Jie a few words, but how could he tell the details and let her follow the suspense, so he excused himself and said that he was rescued by accident on the business road back then. Pucao guessed that he must have something to hide, but he didn't ask any more questions.

(I didn't go out today, but I came out of the word code earlier, and I praised myself first, haha.) Thank you all for your support, hard work, hard work! )
