Thinking like this, Pu Cao's face unconsciously brought a smile, and Chunni casually asked when she saw it, "Who are you thinking of, smiling so happily?" ”

Pu Cao hurriedly put away a smile and said, "Who do I have to think about, of course I want silver." There are less than two months left before the Chinese New Year, and we can still cut vegetables ten more times, which is enough for a fat year. Wait for tomorrow and let Chen's second sister-in-law help inquire about who has a fat pig in the surrounding ten miles and eight villages, let's buy one and come back to kill the New Year's pig. ”

"Killing the pig?" Chunni likes to be lively, and when she heard that Pucao was determined to kill the New Year pig, she immediately clapped her hands and agreed, "This is a good idea, when the time comes, let my sister-in-law come to help fill the blood sausage, she will fill the blood sausage is very delicious." ”

Mrs. Li is used to being thrifty, and he has been eating japonica rice and fine noodles for the past two days, and he is already distressed. At this time, I heard two losers talk about killing pigs, and I couldn't help but stop them, "It's so troublesome to kill pigs, and you have to entertain the neighbors to set up wine, so it's better to go into the city and buy a few catties of meat." ”

Pu Cao said with a smile, "Auntie, every family in the village has to buy meat during the Chinese New Year, and you can get back by killing a pig and selling most of it." Not to mention the dozens of catties of meat left in your own house, you can also land a set of head and hooves into the water, which is very cost-effective. ”

Mrs. Li couldn't, so she had to smile bitterly, "Chunni and his ninth uncle seem to have a fat pig big enough, and when I go back, I'll help ask." ”

"Oh, that's really good, Aunt Nine is willing to feed food, and the pigs raised are the fattest." Chuniel hugged the old lady's arm and coquettishly provoked Peach Blossom to giggle too.

Mrs. Li couldn't help pinching her daughter, and said angrily, "You stupid girl is really in the pile of blessings, and you have to kill the New Year's pig before you split up to live, if you let those broken mouths in our village hear it in their ears, I don't know how many sour words to say." ”

"Then let them go, and I'll make new clothes for you and my father during the New Year, and I'll be angry with them!" Chunni hates those long-tongued women the most, and when she heard the words of the old lady, she became more and more determined to give her father and mother a strong face.

Mrs. Li was willing to let her daughter spend money, and said with a smile, "You can live your own life well, your father and I have your two brothers who are filial, you don't have to worry about it." ”

Chunni sighed with a bitter face, "Our family only has three acres of land, and the eldest brother and second brother don't know any skills, and if we have a few more little nephews in the future, I am afraid that the life of the family will be even more difficult." ”

Mrs. Li naturally knew these things in her heart, but she didn't want her daughter to worry about it, so she smiled and said, "Your second brother has been growing mung beans better and better in the past two years, and he has sold them for more than 600 yuan this year." When the weather is hot in spring, the dim sum shop will make mung bean cakes..."

"Oops!" Pu Cao was threading the needle, and when she heard their mother and daughter talking non-stop with mung beans, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in her mind to think of a delicious food. As a result, such a distracted kung fu finger was hit by a needle first, and she screamed in pain, and hurriedly stuffed her finger into her mouth to lick the blood beads.

Chunni eats and lives with Pucao every day, and she is already too familiar with Pucao to be more familiar, and when she looks like this, she almost immediately guesses that she must have thought of some good idea again. So he stepped forward and pulled her arm and asked, "Pu Cao, have you thought of any good ideas to make a fortune again?" Say it, say it! ”

Pu Cao shook his fingers, smiled and was about to speak, but he didn't want someone outside the door to take the lead, "Is Zhang Dong's family at home?" ”

Everyone in the room was stunned, Chunni's ears were sensitive, and she was the first to respond, "Why does it sound like Dongzi, why did he come again so soon?" I'll open the door and see. ”

Pu Cao picked up a few chicken feathers on her body, and then followed. As soon as Dongzi saw Pucao and Chun Nier's front and back feet come out, he rubbed his red face and said with a smile, "It's good that Zhang Dongjia is at home, our restaurant has important guests at the table today, and the fat chef is afraid that those new dishes will not be done well, so I want to ask Zhang Dongjia to give a few words." ”

Pu Cao saw Dongzi's two small eyes squeezed a few times, his heart moved slightly, and after thinking about it, there was nothing big at home to deal with in a hurry, so he said, "You come in first to warm up for a while, I'll change my clothes and we'll set off." ”

Chunnier didn't feel anything wrong, and shouted Pucao while beckoning Dongzi into the house, "It's a good thing, you're also a proprietor now, but don't wear a blue coat to go out and be embarrassed, hurry up and change into the new dress I made a few days ago." ”

Pu Cao glared at her with disgust, "What do you look good at, on such a cold day, wouldn't you freeze to death if you don't wear a big jacket." ”

Dongzi hurriedly pointed to the climbing plow outside the door and said, "Zhang Dongjia is dressed up better, and our son-in-law also said that it is very difficult for you to rush in the wind and snow, so I specially prepared a lot of warm things." ”

When Pu Cao heard this, she became more and more convinced that the words that instructed the fat cook to cook must be an excuse that the man wanted to see her. Although he complained in his heart that he had to toss her to run in the cold weather, there was a trace of sweetness in his heart, and the more he gathered, the more he gathered...

A few days ago, Chunni saw that Pucao had no other change of winter clothes except for the blue flower jacket, and she was so distressed that she missed half an afternoon, and finally lit the lamp and boiled oil to make a new set of clothes for her.

It was a set of moon-white slub pattern jacket and willow-green pleated skirt, not much cotton, worn on Pucao's slightly thin body, very close-fitting, not bloated at all. When I had to wait for the long hair that had become much darker and brighter, I carefully coiled it into a bun and inserted an ebony hairpin horizontally, which was really more beautiful than usual.

Peach Blossom has been by her sister-in-law's side to help hand over clothes and combs, and at this time, seeing that it is rare for her sister-in-law to be dressed up like this, she clapped her little hands happily and shouted, "Sister-in-law is so good-looking!" ”

Pu Cao looked at the brass mirror, although she couldn't be called a beauty, but she was barely a beautiful woman with a small jasper, and couldn't help but be stunned for a while.

There are really no ugly women in the world, only women who are immersed in misery and have no intention of dressing up or are simply lazy. Who would have thought that the adopted daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, who was bent down and beaten and scolded every day, turned out to have such a beautiful side after fading away from sorrow.

Maybe the real Pucao, who doesn't know where the soul has gone, can see what "herself" looks like at this time, and she won't blame her otherworldly soul for taking over her body, right?

"Ah, whose daughter is this, what a handsome child." Chun Nier was waiting outside the door anxiously, and couldn't help opening the door and coming in to take a look, but when she saw Pu Cao like this, she smiled and pulled her forward and joked, "Is this still my Pucao, it can't be a lady who went to the wrong door, right?" Pucao, don't go to the shop by yourself, be careful of which disciple pesters you! ”

Pu Cao stretched out his hand and knocked her, and said with a smile, "What nonsense are you talking about, there are beautiful women all over the street, where do you show me, a peasant girl." You can rest assured that you will keep it at night. ”

Chunni smiled and stepped forward to sort it out for her again, and said with a little regret at the end, "This makeup is really good everywhere, but I miss a set of jewelry, and my ears and hands are empty." If you go into the city and see a suitable one, buy a set, even if it is a silver hairpin. ”

"Those things are not suitable for eating and drinking, and they are not worth the wind and snow, and it is useless to buy them, so let's talk about them later." Pu Cao kissed Peach Blossom on the forehead, whispered a few words to her, and finally took a few pieces of broken silver and stuffed it into his arms, and then opened the door and went out.

Dongzi was gossiping with Mrs. Li, and when he looked up, the two little eyes that came out of Pucao immediately lit up, and he hurriedly jumped up and urged, "Zhang Dongjia, let's hurry up, the fat cook is so anxious that there is smoke on his head." ”

Everyone laughed when he said something funny, and went out with him. Dongzi opened a box by the plow on the small runway, first laid a thick cotton mat on the wooden board, and when Pucao sat on it, he took out a small brocade quilt to cover her legs tightly.

Pu Cao felt sorry that the rabbit skin boots under her feet would kick the dirty brocade quilt, and she was about to open her mouth to refuse, but she didn't want Dongzi to take out a snow-white fox fur cloak again, and said with a smile, "Zhang Dongjia, this cloak is made of snow fox skin, but it's warm." Put on your hood and keep it all the way without a chill of air. ”

Chunni liked it very much, stepped forward and touched two handfuls of the fox skin, and praised while putting it on for Pu Cao, "This fur is so beautiful, Pu Cao quickly put it on and try it, if it is really as good as Dongzi said, we will also buy two pieces in the future." ”

Dongzi stood aside, trying her best to endure and keep silent, but muttered in her heart that this sister-in-law Liu is so angry, her master sent someone into the mountain to buy two skins for a few months, and made such a cloak, which was so easy for her to think about and buy it with silver?

Pucao also had a small mink in his previous life, and he had a little knowledge of fur, and he guessed that this fox fur must be valuable when he saw the twitching appearance of the corners of Dongzi's mouth. So he carefully gathered the cloak, careful not to let it be scratched by the wooden board, and then smiled, "Let's go, Chunni take care of the house, I will remember to bring you a jar of candied fruit." ”

"I'm not a child, but look at the house for a while, and I still use you to buy candy and sweet mouth!" Chunni said this on her lips, but her face was full of joy, showing that the word candied fruit was very much in line with her heart.

Dongzi waved his hand, jumped on the climbing plow and slowly ran away.

Mrs. Li stepped forward to pat the snowflakes falling on her daughter's shoulders and said with a smile, "Let's go into the house, it's cold outside." ”

Chunni smiled and was about to turn around, but suddenly remembered something, and said with annoyance, "Oh, it's all because Dongzi came to the wrong place, I forgot to ask Pucao what good idea she came up with." ”

"What's so important? Just wait for her to come back and ask. ”

Mrs. Li dragged her daughter into the house with a nonchalant face, which provoked Chunnier to hug her arm and crackle and tell the Chen family next door about the small business carefully.

Mrs. Li was also moved when she heard this, but at the end she sighed and said, "Even if Pucao has a good idea to make money, your father's old-fashioned old man can't agree to it, and your second brother will sell a mung bean in the process, and he has been scolded by him for not knowing how many times." ”

Chunni also has a headache when she thinks of her father's temper, but Pucao really has a good idea to let her family live a prosperous life, and she has to get her father to agree even if she is pestering every day. After all, no matter what face and reputation, it is not as important as a family's food and clothing...

(This is to make up for last night's change.) I'm not in debt, haha. It's normal at eight o'clock tonight. ）
