Chunni had already pounced and shouted in surprise, "Mother, mother, why are you here?" ”

The old lady didn't get up, smiled and took her daughter, touched her head happily, patted her back, and after a while, as if she suddenly remembered something, she reached out and pinched her daughter's arm twice, and scolded, "You poisonous girl!" There is such a big thing when you give birth to a child, and you don't know how to send a letter to your family? If it weren't for your ninth uncle who heard about it, I'm afraid that we wouldn't know if we would have a good child! ”

Chunni saw the old lady scolding herself, but her face was full of distress, her eyes turned red in an instant, and she cried in her mother's arms.

Since the accident with her child, although Pucao has contributed money and efforts, and her child has recovered well, the huge fear of being disabled in the future is still pressing on her heart from time to time, and she is worried and sleepless every night but does not dare to say more. At this time, when she saw the blood relatives of the old lady and her brother, she couldn't bear it, and cried out all her grievances and horrors.

Pu Cao saw that someone in the neighbor next to her came over to look, for fear of any rumors, so she hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and said to the two men standing next to the car with a smile, "You are Brother Li and Second Brother Li, I often hear Chunni mention the two brothers." ”

The man in brown clothes and pants was obviously older and more eloquent, and smiled back, "You are Pucao girl, my Ni'er didn't mention you less when she went home." My sister-in-law has a bad temper and a soft heart, and she relies on her sister to take care of her on weekdays. ”

Second Brother Li, who was in gray clothes and pants, also saluted with his brother, but he didn't speak, and lowered his head with a smile.

Over there, Chunni finally remembered that this was not her mother's house, so she hurriedly got up and wiped two handfuls of tears, called Pucao over, pulled her hand and said to her own mother, "Mother, this is Pucao." After the accident with my son, she helped me with money, and now I am recovering so well. ”

The old lady of the Li family was full of gratitude, and a pair of rough big hands tightly held Pucao's small hand, looked her up and down thoroughly, and sighed, "You girl is Pucao?" How many times have I heard Niel say that you are a miserable child. ”

Pu Cao looked at the distressed look in the eyes of the kind old lady, and then felt the warmth of her hands, her heart was sour, and she hurriedly lowered her head and endured her tears, how good it would be if she was her own mother...

The two brothers of the Li family originally expected Pucao to persuade their mother and sister, but they didn't expect their mother's sensational skills to be so high, so they had to step forward and persuade, "Mother, let's go in and talk, my second brother and I have to unload the soil quickly." ”

"Hey, hey, I've forgotten about business." The old lady got out of the car quickly, took Chunni and Pu Cao's hands and walked into the courtyard, Pu Cao remembered that the cabbage at home was only half scalded, and quickly said, "Auntie, you and Chunni haven't seen each other for a long time, you can talk for a while." I pickled sauerkraut at home, I picked up the sauerkraut and came over. ”

"Go, go, I won't leave tonight, don't rush for a while." The old lady was reasonable, and when she heard that Pucao had work to do, she hurriedly responded, and even said, "Is there a lot of cabbage, Auntie is going to help you?" ”

Pu Cao waved her hand again and again, and said with a smile, "Auntie, you can go into the house and rest." But a few dozen cabbages, and they will be pickled in a while. After speaking, he instructed Chunni, "Don't burn the fire at noon, I'll fry two good dishes and send them over to honor my aunt." ”

Chunni grinned and responded, and said with her mother who wanted to stop her, "Okay, my mother loves to eat vermicelli, don't forget to stew more." ”

Mrs. Li couldn't take this cheeky girl, so she reached out and poked her head with a smile, "You girl, it's really getting more and more unlooking." ”

The mother and daughter entered the house as they spoke, and Pu Cao led the Li brothers to unload the black soil in the corner of their yard, and called Shanzi Peach Blossom to the greenhouse to inform Liu Housheng, and then hurried back to their house.

There were seventy cabbages in total, and only five or six of them had time to be scalded just now, and the grass washed its hands again and got busy.

The large clay jar, which had been washed clean and dried for two days to sterilize, had been moved to the side of the earthen stove. Sprinkle a thin layer of salt on the bottom of the jar and put the cabbage neatly in it. After the yard was full, sprinkle some salt, and after such a busy time, soon the large clay jar was filled with most of it.

The sweet cold water in the well was poured into a bucket along the edge of the tank, and the cabbage was just gone, and then the large bluestone found by the river was moved and pressed on.

Finally, cover it tightly with a large piece of linoleum paper and tie it with a rope.

Shanzi and Peach Blossom are both sensible, and after calling Liu Housheng, they ran back to help, although they only did some small work of handing cabbage, but they were also tired and sweaty. At this time, when he saw that the pickle was finally done, he clapped his little hands happily and shouted, "There are dumplings to eat, there are dumplings to eat." ”

Pu Cao twisted his sore back, quickly picked up the things of the bucket pottery pot, and then opened the salt jar and took a look, and saw that there were two salted meats in it, which were only more than two catties together, so he went into the house and took four cents to call the peach blossoms to buy tofu.

Peach Blossom and Shanzi hugged the small clay pot and ran out of the door with a smile, but it was Zhang Gui'er who didn't pay attention to the door and bumped into a place.

This kid got up in the morning and changed into clean clothes and went to Lizheng's house, it is said that a few classmates from the school where he originally studied came to play, and Katsuko asked him to accompany the guests.

Pu Cao thought that he would have to come back after lunch, and he didn't want to be so early. Could it be that something went wrong, so that those little scholars who didn't get into the exam dislike Lizheng's poor family, right? They are all peasant children, and they also have to be divided into three, six, nine and so on?

Pu Cao was so suspicious in her heart, and just about to ask a few words, Zhang Gui'er over there was already scolded with a black face, "What are you running, your eyes are long and the back of your head is long!" How many times have you said that walking depends on the front! I don't know how to apologize if you hit someone, who taught you to be so unruly? ”

Peach Blossom's originally happy little touch immediately wilted, and she lowered her head and didn't know how to respond to her brother's reprimand, but Shanzi was not convinced, and replied, "The second brother didn't make a sound when he came in, Sister Peach Blossom and I didn't see it..."

"You dare to talk back!" Zhang Guier saw that a little kid could contradict herself, and she felt that the anger in her heart could no longer be suppressed, and she raised her hand to fight down.

Pu Cao's eyes immediately widened, and he shouted, "You dare!" ”

Zhang Gui'er was startled, suddenly raised her head, and saw that Pu Cao had already rushed over to protect the two children, "You got angry outside, and came home to get angry at the children, this is the sage rules you learned, gentleman's etiquette?" Bullshit! ”

Pu Cao's eyes were so cold that they could freeze, and no matter what kind of dirty words he said, he couldn't wait to slap Zhang Guier to the sky.

On weekdays, he said a few sour words from time to time, so that his personality was just fine, and for the sake of family harmony, she always thought about patience and passed.

I never thought that this "great talent" was used to not knowing the height of the sky, and he dared to beat the child, she really thought she was a good-tempered father!

Zhang Gui'er raised her hands high, neither beating nor letting go, her face turned red.

I wanted to swing it down to spread my anger, but I was really a little timid when I saw Pu Cao's angry appearance, so I had to turn around and go back to the house with hatred and slam the door hard.

Pu Cao looked at the trembling doors and windows, and a flash of disappointment flashed in her eyes. With such a narrow mind, what can you do if you take the top exam in the future, after all, you are still a selfish and narrow-minded person...

Peach Blossom saw Pu Cao looking at the door, and thought that her anger had not subsided, so she timidly pulled her sister-in-law's sleeve and whispered, "Sister-in-law, it's all peach blossoms that are not good, next time you must walk well..."

Pu Cao came back to her senses, quickly squatted down and patted the dust on her clothes for the two children with a smile, and comforted, "Sister-in-law is not angry, sister-in-law is thinking about what to eat for a while." Your second brother is angry with you when he is angry outside, I don't blame you, hurry up and buy tofu. When I come back, my sister-in-law still needs your help. ”

Children's peace of mind and self-confidence are mostly built up little by little through the praise and encouragement of adults.

Hearing that the sister-in-law had a lot of work to rely on them to help, Peach Blossom and Shanzi both smiled again, and left with the clay pot in response.

But the previous thing still took root in the hearts of the two children, and they didn't dare to run no matter how anxious they were, and they pulled each other's hands and looked at the side of the road while walking, for fear of hitting someone again.

Pu Cao watched them walk away, turned around and glanced at the east wing, and the anger in his heart rose again, and he made up his mind that he would never leave a bite for Zhang Gui'er for today's lunch.

Isn't he willing to be angry, then he will be angry. Save some delicious food for the two children, and it will be regarded as his reparation...

At this time, the family sat around in Liu's house, and Mrs. Li looked at her son-in-law's tightly wrapped injured leg, and then heard that Xu would be disabled and unable to do heavy work in the future, no matter how strong her temper was, she couldn't help but reddened her eyes, and worried about her daughter in the future.

Liu Housheng sat aside with his head hanging his head with a gloomy face, feeling guilty and worried.

The guilt is naturally because it is a little unfilial to make the old man worry, and the worry is that he is afraid that Chunni will be angry and tell her parents' words and deeds that day, which will make the Yue family even more dissatisfied.

Chunni couldn't see her man's head so shrugged, and saw her mother and brother with sad faces and sighed, so she hurriedly stepped forward and hugged her mother's arm, and told them about the fact that their husband and wife built a greenhouse with Pucao to grow vegetables.

The mother and son of the Li family all felt ridiculous and unbelievable when they heard it. But when Chunni and his wife talked about the greenhouse and making money, they were all red and swept away the sad appearance just now, and swallowed back the questioning words.

No matter what, it's always good to make them live a good life as a couple, so they smiled and followed a few words.

Liu Housheng has not eaten and slept well these days, and all his hopes are pinned on the matter of growing vegetables. After all, if he really cripples his leg in the future, this job may be their family's ability to survive. At this time, when it came to the place of rise, he got up and took his two uncles to walk around the greenhouse, intent on proving that the work was very "lucrative".

Seeing that there was no one in the house, Mrs. Li took out a small cloth bag from her arms and stuffed it into her daughter's hand, and whispered, "Hide it quickly, this is my mother's private room on weekdays, and your brothers and sisters-in-law don't know it." You've just picked a door to get by, and you've put away some belongings. ”
