Chapter 177: Bumping
Chunni heard Pu Cao making fun of herself, and hurriedly swallowed the bun in her mouth and reached out to beat her, "You dead girl, you plan to make fun of me for this little thing for the rest of your life." ”
"No, I will tell my godson about it in the future, so that he can hear how rich his mother is."
"That's what I learned from you, you're more money-obsessed than me."
When the two of them had enough laughter, they leaned together and talked, Chunni touched her big belly and sighed softly, "No matter what girl boy in this belly is, she is a blessed person." Before they were born, you, the god of wealth, had prepared the dowry for them. ”
Pu Cao saw Chun Nier's belly bulging with a small bag two, slowly moving from top to bottom, guessing that the child was kicking his legs, so he reached out curiously and pressed it. As a result, the child Xu was annoyed and kicked out, scaring both of them with an oops.
"This kid is definitely a brat, it's really skinny."
Chunni also laughed, looking like a happy mother, "He is my son, of course he is not easy to bully." ”
"You spicy girl can't raise any good-tempered children, I heard Aunt Chen say this morning that you quarreled with others yesterday?" Pu Cao helped Chunni sit firmly, remembering what she had heard from gossip with Aunt Chen in the morning, so she asked a few words.
Chun Nier stuck out her tongue, for fear that Pucao would fall behind her, so she hurriedly defended, "That's not me losing my temper, it's really that little girl is too unreasonable, how can you force people to sell their yards?" ”
"What, is anyone going to buy your house?"
"No, there is a little girl who always runs to our village these days. said that we have good mountains and rivers here, and her young lady wants to buy a small courtyard to live in and nourish her body. Somehow, she took a fancy to the broken yard of my house, and had to buy it for ten taels of silver. Naturally, I refused, so she didn't leave, and I cursed. ”
Chun Nier remembered the arrogant face of the little girl at that time, and said hatefully, "Don't say that my Liu family is not short of money now, even if they are lacking, they will not be sold!" ”
"Doesn't anyone in the village know what this little girl is? Why do you suddenly want to come to live in our village? Pu Cao was very puzzled, no matter how much she thought about it, she felt that there was something strange about it.
Chunni shook her head, "Of course the people in the village asked, but that little girl didn't tell the truth." Later, Li Zheng spoke to a few elders, saying that it was difficult for outsiders to come in the village now, and no one was allowed to sell the yard. The little girl was so angry that her face turned blue, and she didn't see anyone again today. ”
Pu Cao didn't speak for a long time after listening to this, for some reason her intuition always vaguely guessed that this matter had something to do with Fang Jie, but she couldn't find any evidence for a while, so she had to give up.
"That's it, Uncle Lizheng, they're right, it's not good for outsiders to come in the village for the time being."
"That is, everyone's life is getting better and better now, and in the autumn, you have to get up a shed to grow vegetables, where do you dare to let outsiders in? If the news leaks, the seven aunts and eight aunts of the family will come to the door, and one person can drown everyone with a mouthful of spit. ”
The two gossiped a few more words, and Chunnier couldn't bear to be sleepy, so she yawned and went home to sleep. Pucao helped the magpie settle the two children, and finally lay on the kang and pondered for a while, but still had no clue, and finally fell asleep in a daze.
In the middle of the night, a dark cloud drifted out of nowhere to cover the bright moon, and a light rain began to fall in the sky. When the sun climbs up the east mountain, the golden sunlight shines on the cleanly washed leaves, which is extremely beautiful.
Pucao stood in front of the door and took a deep breath of moist air, looking at the verdant mountains and forests around the village, as if the whole person was flying lightly.
The magpie was wearing a blue flower apron and was serving breakfast to the house, and when he saw this, he smiled and said, "Madam, whose house has made a good meal and the smell wafts from it?" ”
Pu Cao laughed, shook his head and said, "No, I just think this air is really good, you can become an immortal by taking two more breaths." ”
The magpie also took a deep breath when he heard this, and finally said in annoyance, "Madame will play tricks on me, obviously as usual." ”
Pu Cao chuckled helplessly, how could they, who are in the blessings, know the pitiful situation of modern people struggling to survive in various polluted environments.
The family had breakfast together, Peach Blossom was going to learn embroidery with the lady today, and Shanzi sent her to play with Anzi under the pretext of finding Quanzi and Anzi.
Pu Cao was idle and went to the vegetable shed at the back to look around twice, and now the small vegetables grown by every household have been on the table, and her vegetable shed has begun to rest after completing the task gloriously.
In the past two days, she has been wondering whether to plant something else in her spare time, but she has delayed it because she has no good idea for a while. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Chen family were gathering in the back garden to water the vegetable furrow, and when they saw her wandering around the vegetable shed from a distance, they shouted, "Pucao girl, you have to be idle today?" Come with us up the mountain to pick mushrooms in a moment. ”
Mushroom! Pu Cao's eyes lit up, and she wanted to knock on her stupid head, why did she forget this delicious food. In winter, if you replace the barbecue with a hot pot, this shabu-shabu is definitely a specialty. It is to send it to Baiyunju, add a piece of meat and fried mushrooms or dry fried fresh mushrooms, and it is easy to sell for storage.
Thinking like this, she opened her mouth to respond. I didn't want to the corner of my eye, but I suddenly swept to Fang Jie leaning against the door of his home and looking at him with a smile. She hurriedly changed her tone and shouted at the Chen family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, "No, I have something to do today, and I'll go with my sister-in-law another day." ”
After speaking, she didn't wait for the Chen family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to respond and ran to the door quickly, and asked in a surprised whisper, "Why are you back, aren't you busy at the restaurant?" ”
Fang Jie opened his fan to cover her from the sun, and said with a smile, "It's also the owner, if you are lazy at home, I will do hard labor, this is not fair!" It won't open until the day after tomorrow, and I'm going to hide and clean up today. ”
Pu Cao smiled when he heard this, "You can't be lazy, I have a good idea, accompany me to the mountains for a while." ”
Fang Jie rushed back from the city early in the morning because he missed Pucao, and he saw her so happy, so naturally he wouldn't spoil her excitement, so he responded in one bite.
Both of them went home to change into coarse cloth clothes and pants that were convenient for walking, and each carried a wicker basket, like an ordinary peasant couple, heading towards the dirt mountain in the north of the village.
There is a large red pine forest growing on the dirt mountain, and the pine needles accumulated over the years are one foot thick, and the crazy vines block the way, which is very male star, so few villagers come here on weekdays.
Fang Jie held a sickle in his hand, but whenever he encountered something in the way, he waved his hand to cut it, and the cattail grass followed behind from time to time to pick a flower, teasing the chirping birds on the treetops, very relaxed.
But the higher you climb, the denser the woods become, and the more wild things become. Pu Cao screamed from time to time because of the rabbits, foxes and other things that occasionally scurried by him, and finally grabbed Fang Jie's back placket, and followed suit.
Fang Jie would also throw a stone to punish those rabbits at the beginning, and put them into the bamboo basket. Later, I saw that Pucao rarely changed her usual tough appearance and became such a bird, so she secretly smiled and took her little hand and pretended to be a hero of the world.
The two of them walked and stopped all the way, occasionally talking and laughing, and by the time they reached a slightly open space halfway up the mountain, the sun had already risen overhead.
Pu Cao took out a handkerchief and wiped his sweat, then took the water hyacinth and handed it to Fang Jie, and finally turned his head and glanced at the three rabbits in the basket and complained, "Didn't you say that you would accompany me to pick up mushrooms, why did I accompany you to hunt." ”
Fang Jie laughed, "Maybe there are not many mushrooms in this mountain, ask Aunt Chen tomorrow, let's go find a good place again, and today Quan should come out for a walk." ”
Pucao couldn't either, so he jumped on a big rock next to him with his wrinkled little nose and put his hand on the pergola to look around.
This place is right opposite Nangou Village at the foot of the mountain, and you can faintly see the figures of people in the village walking around. Pu Cao was curious for a moment, so he leaned over to see if there were any mountains in the group of naughty boys who ran wildly, but one of them fell down before he could stand firmly.
Fang Jie was drinking water, but when he suddenly saw Pucao fall, he choked hard when he opened his mouth and exclaimed. His subordinates slowed down for a moment, and could only watch as Pucao fell into the mud.
He threw the gourd and ran forward, and asked urgently, "You... Ahem, how's that, ahem... Ahem, where does it hurt? ”
Pu Cao endured the stuffy pain from his ankle, reached out to pat his back for him, and urged, "I'm fine, you cough twice, be careful of choking your lungs!" ”
Fang Jie lowered his head and coughed violently, and only then did he smile bitterly when his throat was much more comfortable, "Today is really not conducive to travel, we might as well drink tea and gossip at home." ”
Pu Cao also sighed, stretched out his finger to his ankle and replied, "I'm afraid that not only is it not good for travel today, but I won't be able to move around for half a month in the future." ”
Fang Jie was stunned, and hurriedly peeled off her shoes and socks, and sure enough, the ankle was already red and swollen. He blackened his face with annoyance, and scolded, "If you don't stand on the ground, you have to step on some stones, do you fall in the end, does it hurt?" ”
Pu Cao was scolded, not only did she not feel wronged, but laughed, "I will have an excuse to be lazy in the future." ”
Fang Jie was really angry and funny, but he was reluctant to scold her again. I was relieved when I reached out and pressed my ankle a few times, and I felt that my bones were fine.
"Let's go, let's go down the mountain first and ask Aunt Jiang for some plasters." As he spoke, he squatted down and picked up the cattail, and the grass hurriedly reached out and carried the wicker basket containing the rabbit. When she turned her head and saw Fang Jie's glare, she hugged his neck and said with a flattering smile, "Go back and make braised rabbit meat for you to eat." ”
Fang Jie completely lost his temper, carried her steadily, and strode down the mountain back to the village along the way he came. The Fang family lived in the northeasternmost corner of the village, and the two of them walked in from the back garden without encountering anyone from the village.
As soon as Fang Jie opened the garden gate, he opened his mouth and called out to Aunt Jiang, but what he didn't want to respond to him was a woman's scream, "You... What are you guys doing here? ”
Pu Cao's hands were so tired that his hands were sore, and when he was startled by this female voice, the bamboo basket fell to the ground. She hurriedly struggled to jump down, but Fang Jie insisted on carrying her to the bottom of the tree and settled in a chair.
Finally, he looked at the stunned master and servant with a calm face, and sneered, "What am I doing in my own yard, do I have to tell anyone?" But Peony girl, how did you break in without the permission of my master? ”
Peony pressed one hand on his chest, his eyes lingered back and forth on Fang Jie and Pu Cao for a long time, and finally slowly put away the look of surprise on his face, and reluctantly smiled, "Fang Gongzi, don't worry, the slave family was also shocked for a while, and there is no malice." ”
Fang Jie was anxious to diagnose Pu Cao's ankle, and he was impatient to listen to her, so he waved his sleeves and said, "What the hell are you doing when you come to the door, if you are not in a hurry, please go back first, and I will visit another day when I enter the city." ”
After he said this, he called out to Aunt Jiang, who opened the door and came out, and ordered, "Take the best bone-setting ointment!" ”
Aunt Jiang turned around and went back to the house and came out with a small porcelain jar, a piece of white cotton cloth, and a pair of scissors, and whispered, "Son, they have been here for a while." I refuse to leave no matter what, I must wait for my son to come back! ”
Fang Jie nodded, squatted down and massaged Pucao's ankles, smeared the ointment at the end, and carefully wrapped the cotton cloth.
Peony stood aside, seeing Fang Jie taking care of Pucao with his own hands without hesitation, but whenever Pucao inhaled heavily, he had to comfort and persuade him, holding it in the palm of his hand for fear of falling, and holding it in his mouth for fear of melting.
On the other hand, she was like a flower and a jade, beautiful like a pair, but she was scolded by him viciously, and she refused to even take a second look, and she was so hateful that she was going crazy.
(I'm so sleepy, it's finally come out, if nothing else, the next chapter will be on the shelves, haha, Pu Cao and Fang Jie's relationship is about to be exposed, how will the people in the village react.) What will happen to the peony, I will think about it in my dream tonight. Good night, friends, and thank you for your support! )
