The two women were eating happily, when they were suddenly beaten into a little dazed, threw down their chopsticks and hugged their heads and ran out. Mrs. Li didn't know where she got the strength, she was extremely brave, she caught up and slapped them four or five times, until they ran out of the yard for a long time before stopping.

Sister-in-law Li and sister-in-law Li ran out of the stove room to inquire when they heard the movement, "What's going on, why is my mother angry?" ”

Pu Cao smiled bitterly and responded, "Those two aunts said some ugly things, and my mother was angry." ”

Mrs. Li also came back panting at this time, and scolded loudly, "If those two white-eyed wolves dare to make irresponsible remarks in the future, the eldest and second daughter-in-law will go and tear their mouths." My daughters are also what they can scold, two old people who don't cultivate morality. ”

Everyone hurriedly stepped forward to persuade her, and finally coaxed the old lady to sit down, laughing, eating and drinking again. Chun Nier saw Pucao's strange face, and thought that she was frightened by her mother's violent temper, so she pulled her and whispered, "Our mother hasn't quarreled with others for many years, and she is very popular in the village, but today she is probably angry with those two broken mouths." ”

Pu Cao laughed out loud and replied in a low voice, "Originally, a few days ago, you wielded a kitchen knife to cut people, and I wondered where you got so bold. It seems that I will find someone who is not pleasing to the eye in the future, otherwise I will not be our mother's daughter. ”

Chuniel was amused and laughed, and said angrily, "Don't talk about how easy you are to bully, you don't have a broom to shoot people." ”

The two leaned together like this, chattering and talking, laughing from time to time, which provoked everyone to laugh and praise that these two girls were really closer than sisters born in one child.

Soon, everyone finished eating and drinking, the banquet was withdrawn, the women helped wash the dishes and chopsticks, and finally took some leftovers and went home.

Pu Cao pulled Li's sister-in-law and sister-in-law to talk about her pickle shop in the city, and invited them to live in the backyard to make bean sprouts. Although it is summer now, the bean sprouts are not as good as they are sold in winter, but they always have to send two or three baskets a day.

Boss Li and Elder Li have taken turns to live in the backyard of Baiyunju in the past few months, and with Fang Jie's care, they will naturally not suffer any grievances. But now that my sister has opened a shop, it is more convenient to live in, not to mention, and I can take care of the shop for my sister by the way, so they responded to it. Everyone decided to move after entering the city tomorrow, and Pu Cao, Chunni and Aunt Chen also took the car to say goodbye.

The old and young of the Li family were sent out of the village until the shadow of the carriage could not be seen, and then they went back happily.

At the banquet just now, Dongzi was persuaded by Li Da and Li Er to drink two bowls of baogu wine, and at this time, he sang a little song while shaking the whip with the strength of the wine, and he heard that the old and young people in the car were laughing non-stop.

Outside the car, the fireball-like sunset half hung on the west mountain, sprinkling orange light, as if covering the mountains and the earth with a gorgeous brocade dress. Occasionally, birds chirped in the sky, and hares in the grass swished and ran, each running to their warm nests, waiting for the night to fall...

The jujube red horse Xu also misses its stable, the horse's hooves clasped on the mountain road, running fast. So, just two quarters of an hour, Nangou Village was already faintly in sight. Dongzi's eyes were sharp, and he saw the figure of the village leader shaking, and immediately turned around happily and shouted, "Zhang Dongjia, our son is here to pick you up." ”

Pu Cao hurriedly stretched her head and looked out the window, and sure enough, there were three figures standing under the big willow tree not far away. She was extremely sweet in her heart, but she still said vaguely, "Xu is two children can't wait." ”

"Yes, the big and the small can't wait." Aunt Chen and Chun Nier took the opportunity to joke, which made Pu Cao's face instantly red, and when the carriage came to her, she immediately opened the door and jumped off.

Aunt Chen and Chunni smiled and shouted Shanzi and Peach Blossom to get in the car and go back together, leaving only the two at the entrance of the village.

Fang Jie and Pu Cao walked side by side on the stone road, Pu Cao talked about Mrs. Li's madness today, Fang Jie was also funny when he heard it, Pu Cao waved his small fist and said, "If you dare to bully me in the future, let my mother wave a broom and shoot you." ”

Fang Jie hurriedly pretended to be afraid, and responded, "How dare I, even Sister-in-law Liu is a good wielding of kitchen knives." If I deceive you, she will be the first to chop me into minced meat. ”

Pu Cao laughed happily, remembering the classic saying in his previous life, "No matter how high your martial arts are, you are afraid of kitchen knives!" ”

The two of them walked home while talking, and occasionally met villagers on the way to smile and say hello. The villagers used to see them go to the vegetable field together, but now the two have crossed the road in front of the elders and villagers of the whole village, and naturally no one says that the long story is short, and even the old man still stroked his beard and praised, "It's really a good marriage." ”

Pu Cao and Fang Jie heard this, turned their heads to look at each other, and laughed in unison. Happiness, it has never fallen from the sky, if it weren't for their little foreshadowing and planning, how could there be such a good life now?

The stars are moving, the moon is setting and the sun is rising, and the years are slowly flowing through the past in firewood, rice, oil and salt. The crops in the field greedily absorbed the sun and rain, and they jumped from two inches tall seedlings to half waists. Families of all ages went into battle, wearing big straw hats, bending down their old or immature backs, looking for those tenacious weeds in the ditches, and throwing them into the basket behind them when they were uprooted.

If any offspring or child is lazy and only pulls out half of it, he will definitely be slapped by his father. Because after a light rain, the half of the weeds will definitely grow wildly again, snatching the fertility, and the buds will naturally not grow tall.

The Zhang family originally only had two acres of dry land, but because of the need for close water to grow vegetables, they replaced one acre of river field with the same villager, which happened to be connected to Liu Housheng's one acre of dry land, and it was also convenient to take care of it.

Now, the days have entered July, and all the vegetables can be picked, and the vegetable fields of the Zhang and Liu families have finally completed their tasks and are honorably "retired". After Liu Housheng discussed with Pucao, he found someone to help pull out most of the cucumber seedlings and bean racks, and planted cabbage and radishes instead. When the harvest is in the autumn, it happens that there is no need to spend money to buy it in the pickle shop.

There was no farm work to do, so Pucao started her mushroom picking business again after the rain, and every time after the rain, she went into the mountains with the little daughter-in-law in the village. When I got home, I was immediately sent to a tightly covered vegetable shed.

Chunni asked a few curiously, she always smiled and said that she was doing experiments, and everyone didn't understand it, so they didn't ask more, but gradually abandoned the big mushrooms, all to help her pack more small mushrooms back.

On this day, Pucao was tinkering in the wet and hot vegetable shed, and Peach Blossom suddenly ran to say that the lady had arrived, and Pucao hurriedly washed her hands and went to the front.

It turned out that five or six days would be the day when Shengzi and Zhang Guier would go to the city to take the Tongsheng exam. Lizheng Niangzi was worried about her son, so she came to invite Pucao to visit the Chu family school again.

Pu Cao thought that he should stop by the pickle shop for a walk, so he said, "Auntie, let's prepare some food for the next few days, and we will go to see your brother and Shengzi the day before the exam." In the evening, we settled down at my pickle shop, and on the second day, we were able to send two children into the examination room to give them courage. ”

Lizheng Niangzi was overjoyed, and praised one after another, "It's still thoughtful, let's do it." I'm going to make Katsuko a new dress, what about you, what do you want to send over? ”

"I'll also make a new dress for your brother, and I'll send more paper and pencils."

The two discussed for a long time, and then went back to prepare after making up their minds.

Nangou Village has not been a scholar for many years because of its poverty, and now there are two children who are taking the examination for children, which is a big deal. Everyone was worried in their hearts, especially a few old men, and even put an incense case to ask the ancestors to bless the two children with a smooth exam.

Early in the morning when Pucao and Lizheng Niangzi rushed to Sanchahe Town, almost the whole village came out to see them off, and Pucao couldn't cry or laugh, and secretly said that this is just a child's exam, if it is the champion, the people in the village don't know how to toss it.

Shanzi and Peach Blossom Xu were also frightened by the posture of the people in the village, and sat honestly in the corner of the carriage until they were far away from the village. Shanzi lay in front of the car window for a while to watch the scenery, and for a while he was tired of his sister telling a story, and he was as happy as a little monkey. Peach Blossom was quietly leaning on Pucao's side, raising her eyes from time to time to secretly look at her sister-in-law's face, looking a little weak-hearted.

Pu Cao knew it in her heart, and it was not good to ask this little girl in front of the lady, so she just pretended not to see it.

The carriage went all the way through the mountain road to the official road, and soon arrived at Sanchahe Town. There were already two ox carts bolted under the big tree in front of the Chu Family School, and it was obvious that the families of the schoolchildren had come to visit.

Mrs. Xu is Chu had already made arrangements, and as soon as everyone got out of the car, the old woman came forward, and this time she confiscated any copper coins and led them directly to the backyard.

There were already a few families gathered together to gossip, and Zhang Guier and Shengzi stood in the shade of the tree, with a slight envy on their faces. Pu Cao and Li Zheng Niangzi didn't wait for a call, and Peach Blossom was already happily shouting to the second brother and rushed over.

Zhang Guier and Shengzi were simply overjoyed, and they trotted over. Katsuko opened his mouth and asked, "Mother, why are you here, I didn't ask someone to send a letter back?" ”

Zhang Gui also said, "Sister-in-law, the family is good, I still want to go back with Shengzi after the exam." ”

The two families sat in the shade of the tree and talked lively, and when they heard that Pucao and Lizheng Niangzi were going to stay in the city for one night, and accompany them to the school exam tomorrow, Shengzi and Zhang Guier were even more happy.

Soon, the sun moved to the middle, and Mrs. Chu personally brought the maid and the maid to bring two tables of food, and she spoke and acted very politely. Even Mr. Na Chu showed up and praised a few children who were going to take the exam tomorrow, saying that they would definitely pass the exam.

Pu Cao heard Fang Jie say that he was the easiest to obtain in the scientific examination, and knew that as long as the schoolchildren were good in character and good in poetry, they would definitely be admitted. Unless the gentleman in the school is not on good terms with the examiner, but the private school mostly relies on fame to recruit students, how can it be so self-destructive to the future, and the examiner has been sorted out early.

Therefore, hearing that Mr. Chu guaranteed the ticket like this, Pu Cao just saluted and thanked him, but Mrs. Lizheng and the rest of the parents were so excited that they almost knelt on the ground to give Mr. Chu a big salute.

(I'm sorry, friends, I have to take a leave of absence tomorrow and the next two days, go back to my hometown to visit my in-laws, I don't have a manuscript, and I have to break it for two days.) After coming back on the 27th, the double watch repaid the debt, and hugged the group! I was about to take the train, got off the train and reversed the car, got out of the car and took a taxi, six round trips, and I had a headache when I thought about it. No way, my husband is far away in Guangxi, I want to honor my parents more for him. I try to go early and come back as early as possible, thank you friends for your support! ）
