The two were talking, when they heard someone laughing outside the house, "Sister-in-law, what are you complaining about, be careful that I heard the wall root ask the eldest mother to complain." ”

Chen Jiayu hurriedly opened the door to let Chunni, who was smiling, and asked while helping her pat the snowflakes on her shoulders, "At this time, if you don't cook at home, why do you come to gossip in the wind and snow?" ”

A few pieces of broken snowflakes floated into Chunni's collar, and she shivered so cold that she handed the small dry food dustpan covered with cotton cloth in her hand to Sister-in-law Chen, and complained, "Pucao was busy steaming a pot of steamed buns in the morning, and I had to send a few to you to taste, but I was too lazy to say that I wouldn't let you send them at night." ”

The Chen family and the Zhang family are used to sending food to each other, and Chen's sister-in-law didn't push back, so she smiled and took an empty dustpan from the lid of the box and replaced the steamed buns.

The big steamed buns just out of the pot, each with the size of a strong man's fist, seem to be a white and fat doll grinning, and a light sniff is full of the sweet aroma of flour. Chen's second sister-in-law praised her twice, and said with a happy smile, "Pucao girl's skill is all done to open a steamed bun shop in the city." ”

Several people laughed, Chunni was in a hurry to leave before she could deliver food to her man, and Chen Jiayu glanced at each other and took her hand and whispered a few words.

Chunni's brows furrowed more and more, and finally stomped her feet and said hatefully, "I wanted to scold these long-tongued women a few days ago, but Pu Cao refused to stop me. ”

Sister-in-law Chen took her hand and persuaded, "We told you that we also want you to remind Pucao to be careful in the future." ”

Chunni scooped up the empty dustpan and said, "The body is not afraid of the shadow, there are times when they regret it." After saying that, she greeted and turned back to Zhang's house.

Pu Cao is guarding the table to serve rice to the two children, the peach blossoms grow so big is the first time to eat rice porridge, very curious, holding the porridge bowl to look left and right and reluctant to move chopsticks. However, Shanzi seems to be like what he used to eat, and he teaches the peach blossoms to blow cold before drinking.

Pu Cao glanced at him suspiciously, and was even more puzzled about the child's life experience, and after pondering for a long time to no avail, he had to ignore it in the back of his mind.

Chunni was so angry that she pushed open the door and came in, sat down at the table and panted but didn't speak, Pu Cao didn't see her face was bad, so she quipped, "What, I'm afraid that we will run back in such a hurry when we drink all the rice porridge?" ”

Shanzi and Peach Blossom both giggled, Chunni grabbed a steamed bun and bit it hard, and replied vaguely, "Bite these broken mouths!" ”

Pu Cao finally heard that something was wrong, comforted the two children to drink porridge first, and then pulled Chunni to the back room to ask for an understanding.

Chunni swallowed in annoyance, and the swallowed steamed bun choked on her chest. She stretched out her hand and slapped it a few times, and said, "You are soft-hearted, if you scold them hard last time, they will dare to spread the rumors, and they may not be said how ugly they will be in the future." ”

Pu Cao pursed her lips and thought about it, then reached out and took the steamed bun in her hand, and said, "This matter can be stopped by scolding a few words, and I am afraid that I will tear my face and have no scruples." The more you eat, the more you choke and panic, go out and drink a bowl of porridge. I've got my own idea of that. ”

Chunni wanted to ask, but Pucao pulled her out the door. There are two children who are naturally not good at talking, so Chunni eats patiently.

After resting for a while after eating, Pu Cao wrapped the two children like cotton balls, took four steamed buns in a cloth bag, and then sent them out with a few words.

As soon as she had just drawn a few patterns, she heard the lady shouting in the courtyard, "Is Pucao at home?" ”

Pu Cao put down the pen and paper and went out of the door, and said with a smile, "Why is my aunt here?" It's windy and snowy, and if you have something to do, let the children send a letter. ”

"What's the matter with me? I'm bored at home all day, and Peach Blossom sends steamed buns over and says that you paint embroidery at home, so I'll come to see a novelty. Li Zheng Niangzi slapped the snowflakes on her body casually, and rubbed her frozen red cheeks, and then came to the table and picked up a few patterns to take a closer look, and couldn't help but praise, "Pucao, your pattern is really fresh, I haven't seen it on weekdays, is it the color of the southern countries?" ”

Pu Cao loved tulips the most in his previous life, and he learned a few sketches, and he drew them at the same time. Of course, she couldn't go into detail at this time, so she said through the words, "The first two times I went to the city, I saw it in the embroidery village and came to school, and I really don't know where it came from." ”

Mrs. Lizheng couldn't put it down, so she said, "This pattern is good, I just want to make a skirt for my mother's sister, you can also draw a picture for me, and I will embroider it when I go back." ”

"Okay," Pu Cao said happily, and said after drawing one casually, "Aunt Chen next door also said this before, but I forgot to ask her what color she wanted?" Auntie, you sit down first, and I'll call my aunt to come over and do needlework together. ”

"Okay."

Pu Cao just went out and didn't wait for the steps to go down the steps when he saw that in the courtyard next door, Aunt Chen was hurrying to the house after going to the toilet, so she opened her mouth and shouted two words, and soon Aunt Chen came over with her two daughters-in-law.

Aunt Chen was most afraid of the cold, and just sat down to gossip a few words and asked, "Pucao, why don't you burn more fire in this house, it's really cold." ”

Pu Cao replied helplessly, "I'm busy in the greenhouse in the morning, where can I take care of burning the house." Speaking of this, she seemed to hesitate for a moment, and said, "If the eldest lady feels cold, why don't we go to the greenhouse and sit, it's so hot that you have to take off your padded jacket." ”

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Chen family were obviously stunned, and they were also curious about whether the Zhang family's greenhouse could grow vegetables on weekdays, but no one had opened their mouths because of the etiquette, and Pucao never took the initiative to invite. I don't know why she is suddenly so abnormal today?

Li Zheng's eyes rolled, but she responded with a smile first, "Okay, my aunt has long been curious about what you planted in that mud house, and today is the opportunity to open her eyes." ”

With Lizheng Lady taking the lead, and the owner taking the initiative to invite, the three mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Chen family naturally followed happily to see the novelty.

Liu Housheng went back to the front yard to rest after eating, and Chunni was the only one left in the greenhouse who was busy adding wood to the stove.

But she is not a fool, she immediately smiled when she saw Pu Cao's eyes, and walked around with a few people who had been stunned for a long time, and proudly pointed out a few words from time to time.

Pu Cao smiled and took over the firewood for both stoves, and checked a few boxes of shallots on the side of the wall and showed no signs of freezing, and then relieved.

After walking around with the Chen family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Mrs. Li Zheng sat on the wooden collapse for a long time and exclaimed, "Oh, the grass is amazing, the vegetables are really grown in this winter, and if you sell them to the city, you can make a fortune." ”

Pu Cao was praised, but there was not much pride on her face, but she seemed to sigh helplessly, "My aunt and sister-in-law only look at how well this dish grows, but I don't know how much effort our two families have put in." Not to mention investing a lot of money in the purchase of things, the fire burns day and night, and you must always be afraid that if you neglect it, the dishes will freeze to death. ”

Aunt Chen nodded, "No, it's not even easy to feed people in this winter, let alone vegetables." ”

Mrs. Li Zheng also said, "Without the silver blown by the wind, it is not easy to do anything." ”

Everyone sighed and sat on the wooden collapse and gossiped and did needlework, it was dark early in winter, and it was dark in the greenhouse after most of the hour, and the lady and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Chen family said goodbye and returned.

didn't mention how the Chen family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went back, but said that as soon as Mrs. Lizheng entered the house, she saw the child's father squatting at the door with a black face, so she asked, "Don't sit on a good chair, what are you doing here?" ”

Li Zheng took two mouthfuls of the cigarette pouch pot, and said slightly annoyed, "I don't think about cooking at night, where do I gossip, I will see the cold pot and cold stove when I come back." ”

Mrs. Li Zheng picked up the sweeping broom next to the door and waved the snow foam on the cotton shoes, and said with a smile, "I really went to open my eyes today, but you give me such a look, I don't want to tell you, let's talk about it in the evening." ”

Li Zheng saw the proud appearance of his daughter-in-law, and he was curious and wanted to ask a few words, but he couldn't pull his face, so he kept it in his heart until he lay on the kang at night and whispered, "What kind of novelty have you been watching during the day?" ”

Mrs. Li Zheng didn't answer immediately, she stretched out her hand and stretched out her hand and thought about it for a long time before saying, "Master, how about you say that we have set a peach blossom for Quanzi to be a daughter-in-law?" ”

Li Zheng didn't expect his daughter-in-law to suddenly come up with such a sentence, so he said, "The whole son is only eight years old, what are you anxious about?" It's never too late to wait until you're eleven or twelve years old to discuss. ”

"No, that's too late. At that time, I am afraid that the people in this village who want to ask to marry peach blossoms will be able to step on the threshold of the Zhang family! ”

Li Zheng turned his head to look at his daughter-in-law's eyes that were shining in the dark night, and said with some hesitation, "What happened to you today, if you have something to say, you will understand." ”

Li Zheng's daughter-in-law was personally seen by his mother, married to Xiao Zhao Tun from seventy miles away, and has been a famous smart and clever girl in ten miles and eight villages since she was a child.

When his mother came back that day, she was very happy, and told him that this daughter-in-law must be a prosperous husband, but he was still a little unimpressed. Unexpectedly, after getting married, this daughter-in-law was caught at home and abroad, and with her help, life was indeed getting better and better, and her son was born one after another, so he naturally valued her ideas more and more.

Mrs. Lizheng no longer hid it, and directly said everything she saw and heard in the afternoon, and said at the end, "The master, I see that this family has a grass and grass, and it is likely to prosper in the future." Let's not mention that the child is sensible and well-behaved, let's just say that with Pucao's love for her, no good thing will fall into her small family in the future. is to take 10,000 steps back and say, Pucao Zhang Luo will not have a big event, and the peach blossoms will not be mixed by his father and mother, and it will save a lot of trouble for the two families to move around in the future. ”

Li Zheng obviously valued the "money" of the greenhouse more than the child's relatives, he sat up in his clothes and lit a cigarette bag and pot of dry tobacco, and took a few puffs before squinting his sour eyes and asking, "Do you see how the Zhang family's vegetables are grown?" Eager to learn? ”

Li Zheng Niangzi simply got up and lit the oil lamp, glanced at her own man, and said angrily, "What, you still want to rob other orphans and widows of their lives?" ”
