Liu Housheng is a kind person, he heard that Pucao wanted to ask him for help, and he habitually had to respond in one bite, and suddenly remembered the fact that he was half-disabled, his face darkened, and he said in a low voice, "Pucao girl, my legs, it is difficult to walk a few steps now, I am afraid that I will have to lie on the kang this winter, I want to help..."

Pu Cao waved his hand and said with a smile, "I asked Dr. Liu and Angelica carefully just now, and they all said that if the eldest brother's leg injury is well healed, he will be able to go down on crutches in six or seven days." Besides, I don't need Brother Liu to do any work in my greenhouse, but just watch the carpenter don't fool us, and when I find the villagers to help build the wall, I will help greet him and accompany him to eat and drink a few meals. ”

Liu Housheng thought for a while, nodded and said, "I can help with these things." ”

Pu Cao clapped her hands happily and said, "Then Brother Liu agreed, which is great." However, good people do it to the end, my greenhouse has been built, and there is still a lack of a night to help watch the night, so it is better for Brother Liu to go down together. When the fresh vegetables are on the market, I will share 30% of the profits to pay Brother Liu for wages, how about it? ”

"Wages? This is unacceptable! Liu Housheng was still thinking about leaving his daughter-in-law at night, guarding the greenhouse alone, a little hesitant, but when he heard the word salary, he felt that something was wrong with this, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "You have been friends with Chunni for many years, and you have purchased so many things for our family, we should help, how can we ask for wages?" ”

Pu Cao had to persuade again, Chunni, who had been silent for a long time, had red circles in her eyes, raised her head and glared at her stupid man, and said, "You fool, where does Pu Cao want your help, this is obviously because I am afraid that you will hurt your legs, and our family will lose their livelihood in the future, and they want to share the business with us." ”

She stepped forward to take Pucao's hand and wanted to say a few words of gratitude, but unfortunately she choked up and blocked her throat, leaving only tears crackling and falling.

Pu Cao hurriedly got up and hugged her, and said angrily, "What are you crying about, we are all our own family, if you say polite words, I will be annoyed." You saved my life, and if you really counted it, I wouldn't have given the whole deal to your family. What's more, I have to keep the two of you busy, and I don't give you money for nothing. ”

Chunni hugged Pucao and cried happily, venting all the fears and sorrows in her heart for the future days, and finally felt relieved, so she wiped a handful of tears and said, "Okay, we have written down this love for the two of us." After speaking, she said to Liu Housheng, who was a little at a loss on the bed, half disgusted and half instructed, "You can't be lazy in the future, if the vegetables of Pucao are not planted, you will be blamed for not making efforts." ”

Liu Hou rarely calls the shots in his life, mostly listening to his daughter-in-law, and now he feels guilty when he hurts his leg, and he hurriedly nodded when he heard this, in fact, he is not optimistic about the fact of growing vegetables, but Pucao opened his mouth to ask for help, and he really didn't want to be a waste person, he could do some work to prove that he was still useful, even if his efforts were wasted in the end, he felt happy.

When the big thing was finalized, Pu Cao pulled Chunni to sit down, and said while putting meat in her bowl, "Dong Si didn't hunt for Brother Liu this time, and there is less income in the family, this is a big favor, and you have to pay it back." And the two uncles followed the toss into the city, and they couldn't be short-served. ”

Chunni went to the heart stone and had a great appetite, and was eating happily, so she nodded when she heard this, "When it comes to the New Year, I will send two packs of dim sum to the past." ”

Pu Cao rolled her eyes, and was really helpless about Chunni's usually shrewd but occasionally stupid nature, so she persuaded, "It's enough for those two uncles to give two packs of dim sum, but Dong Sijia is afraid that it can't work, you must know that if you go up the mountain once, how can you have one or two taels of input, and your dim sum is worth a few cents."

I see, we have to burn a lot of firewood in the greenhouse in winter, so let's leave this matter to Dong Si, let's buy firewood with him according to the price of selling it into the city, five catties and a penny, and it is estimated that there will be one or two taels of input. ”

Chunni and her family glanced at each other, and they both felt that this was a good idea, the people in the village used bud grain straw to burn the kang, and as for cooking in the stove and heating the brazier, most of them were broken wood accumulated on weekdays.

Pucao's family doesn't even have a firewood stack, and it will snowfall for more than half a month, and if you don't spend money to buy firewood, you're really afraid that you won't be able to catch up.

The three of them discussed properly, and quickly picked up the dishes and chopsticks, and the small mat in the stove room was also scattered, and Angelica ate with a greasy mouth, and when he saw Pucao and Chunni coming in, he smiled and wiped it with his sleeve, and then led the two villagers to the guest room to rest.

Chunni took care of Liu Housheng and drank the medicinal juice, and then put a big bowl of bone broth boiled into milky white, and skewered two steamed buns with chopsticks.

Pu Cao watched from the sidelines, and suddenly felt that she was a little redundant, so she said hello and turned around and walked out of the room.

The late autumn night was already cool, and the evening breeze blew through the two large trees in the corner of the courtyard with their leaves gone, and there was a low whimper. Pu Cao hugged his shoulders and let the shadow wander around the yard with him, occasionally turning his head to look at the pair of hugging figures on the window, and the envy in his heart couldn't help but flood the embankment...

In her previous life, she was proud of her beauty, thinking that love was just as easy as it was readily available, but unfortunately in the end, she got a heart full of scars.

When she realized that a lot of time had passed and she could never look back, she realized how difficult it was to find someone who was close to her and knew each other.

And now, she has changed from a beautiful woman to a "yellow-haired little daughter-in-law", but I don't know if the god of fate will have more mercy? She really doesn't ask for much, she just wants a companion, she doesn't ask how talented and handsome that person is, she just wants him to give her company when she is so lonely, and give sincere and considerate when she gets along, they can only tolerate each other in their eyes, and walk through their lives plainly and peacefully...

The night is getting darker, and the evening breeze doesn't know when to take a playful heart, and turn home to take a rest, the courtyard is more quiet, and it also makes the little woman's sigh clearer and her figure more lonely.

Angelica came in from the front hall with a big broom, and suddenly saw someone in the yard, and was stunned for a moment, and then ran to him and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law Pucao, it's so late, why didn't you stop?" ”

Pu Cao smiled and didn't answer but asked rhetorically, "Little brother, why haven't you rested, do you still have work to do?" ”

Angelica waved the broom in his hand and complained in a low voice, "The master asked me to pick up the horse manure in the stable during the day, and I forgot it for a while, so I remembered it and rushed to sweep it, so as not to get up tomorrow morning and be nagged by his old man." ”

"Horse manure?" Pucao's eyes lit up, and as Angelica arrived in front of the grass shed in the corner of the courtyard that served as a stable, under the dim moonlight, she vaguely saw that there were many horse dung bags scattered in the corner, and it was estimated that there was a sack when she put them together, so she asked, "Little brother, do you still have horses in your hospital?" ”

Angelica shook his head, "No, this is left when there are guests rushing to the carriage to see the doctor on weekdays." After speaking, he cleaned up quickly, but halfway through the sweep, he suddenly looked up and said with a sudden realization, "Oh, there are only two rooms, and it is inconvenient for Sister-in-law Pucao to live, right?" It's all because I didn't think of so much, it just so happened that my sister Xi and her wife went back to their parents' house, and I sent my sister-in-law to live in her room after I cleaned it in a while. ”

There is no need to squeeze a room with Chunni and his wife, Pucao is naturally happy, smiled and thanked him, and finally pointed to the horse manure on the ground, and said, "Little brother, if you have no use for this pile of horse manure, can you give it to me?" ”

Angelica tilted her little head, looking surprised, and couldn't guess what the use of her asking for this stinky horse manure was, but he was too lazy to clean up this horse manure, and Pucao was going to save his strength, so he responded and said, "If these are not enough, I will save a few more days for my sister-in-law, and when I come to the next follow-up visit, I will bring it back to my sister-in-law together." ”

Pu Cao thanked again and again, this horse manure is of great use to her vegetable growing career, but the people in the village raise cows and pigs, she wondered if she was going to go to the horse market to pick up some a few days ago, but she didn't expect to find it easily here.

Angelica saw that she was so happy, and she was even more curious about the use of this horse manure, scratching her ears and cheeks to ask what was going on, but it was difficult to speak. It was about the secret of growing vegetables in winter, and Pucao naturally refused to say more, so he pretended that it was dark and couldn't see.

Chunni and his wife were comforting each other, whispering and thinking about the days ahead, when they suddenly heard Pucao outside the window saying that they were going to rest in another room, and they were shocked to realize that they had let her freeze outside for so long.

Chunni was very reluctant not to go, she had to live in a room with Pu Cao, of course Pu Cao would not be so blind, after all, Liu Housheng was unable to move, and he had to be taken care of at night.

The two spoke a few words and slept peacefully.

When I woke up early the next morning, the sky that had been gloomy for two days suddenly opened up, and the sun was extraordinarily bright, shining on my body to find some hot memories of summer.

Pu Cao remembered that the family was still taking off the grass billet, and after breakfast, she hurriedly dragged Chunni to the street to buy things. If Liu Housheng doesn't want to have a too serious disability with this leg injury, he must take care of it well, and he can't eat food.

In addition, the May 7th Festival Day of the dead ghost Zhang Fu's mother and son is coming, and some yellow paper must be prepared, and no one cares about the poor family before. Now that there is some money left in hand, if you don't Zhang Luo Zhang Luo, even if others don't say it, even Zhang Gui and Taohua are afraid that they should complain, after all, no matter how much the mother and son are, they are also their brothers and mothers.

The two of them carried baskets, and the first thing they did on the street was to buy all the bones in the butcher shop, and the boss Xu was not many customers who only bought bones on weekdays, and actually recognized them as repeat customers.

The two quit the enthusiastic butcher shopkeeper, and went to the cloth village to buy half a horse of the cheapest white cotton cloth, intending to keep it and go back to wrap Liu Housheng's injured leg. Pu Cao originally wanted to buy some more food to replenish qi and blood, but was stopped by Chunni, the medical hall has not yet paid for the consultation, I don't know how much money to use, in addition to the things that must be added, she is not willing to spend more money on Pu Cao.

Pu Cao was helpless, so she bought a bundle of yellow paper and carried it, and the two held hands and walked back. The sun shone warmly on their bodies, and their mood unconsciously improved, and they had a smile on their faces.
