(The new book has not changed its state, it can't be timed, and the flowering period will be updated every morning, it is estimated that it is around half past eight, and it is a single change every day, thank you friends for your support!) )

Pu Cao took Zhang Gui'er and Taohua'er to salute, and remembered that there was still Shanzi, so he said, "A few elders, I want to take the child wandering in the village to the house, it's just a matter of two bowls of porridge a day, and when your brother goes to the county to study in the future, he will have a follower." ”

Since the Zhang family has the final say by Pucao, she is in charge of such a matter, and now she asks the elders of the clan in front of everyone, which is naturally to respect the elders, but it also means that the people in the village will take care of it more in the future.

Although the elders of the Lizheng clan felt that the Zhang family didn't even have a house, it was really not appropriate to adopt a child to add a mouth to eat, but they didn't say much, so they simply nodded, which was considered to be the answer.

The crowd whispered and dispersed, and Pu Cao took the children to salute the elders and took their leave.

As soon as she came out of the yard not far away, she saw Shanzi hiding behind the haystack and looking over, she couldn't help but smile and beckoned him to come over.

Shanzi immediately smiled, ran over, Pu Cao reached out and picked up a few straw sticks stuck on his head, and said with a smile, "In the future, you can live with us." ”

Shanzi nodded his little head hard, grabbed Pucao's sleeve with his little hand, and promised loudly, "Sister-in-law, I will be obedient." ”

Peach Blossom followed with a smile and clapped her hands, but Zhang Gui'er frowned with a look of disgust, Pu Cao didn't like his face, and said with a change of heart, "I just made an excuse to let the clan elders agree, but in the future, Shanzi will not be a scholar slave in our family, I want to recognize him as a righteous son!"

Pu Cao said this out of good intentions, thinking that she was over thirty years old, and it was normal to recognize a five or six-year-old child as a righteous son, but she forgot that it was Dong Wan who was thirty years old, and Pu Cao was still less than eighteen years old, which was a little strange.

Peach Blossom was so shocked that her mouth opened slightly, Zhang Gui also frowned, and Shanzi said timidly, "Sister-in-law, I don't want to call Aunt Peach Blossom..."

Pu Cao was stunned, quickly changed her mind, and laughed dryly, "Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue, I mean to recognize Shanzi as a righteous brother, and it will be my mother's family in the future." ”

Shanzi immediately opened his mouth and shouted his sister with a smile, and the peach blossoms also rejoiced, but Zhang Guier snorted coldly and walked towards Zhang's house.

Pu Cao stretched the skirt of the peach blossom, gave two instructions, and also drove her to chase her brother, and then led Shanzi back to the shack on the hillside.

The freshly baked sister and brother climbed up the east hillside, and while talking, they cleaned up the things from the collapsed shack, and when they were busy, Zhang Guier came back angrily with a tear-stained peach blossom.

Pu Cao saw that they were empty-handed, so she guessed most of them, stepped forward to wipe her tears for Peach Blossom and coaxed a few words, then turned around and asked Zhang Gui'er, "But that family is greedy for luggage?" ”

Zhang Gui's face was pale, obviously angry, and he nodded heavily and said angrily, "The second aunt said that when I went to Lizheng's house just now, no one in the family was robbed and stole my and Taohua's clothes, she... She was obviously lying, how could it be so coincidental that a thief stole our clothes? ”

Pu Cao didn't have the slightest desire to comfort, and pouted and mocked, "And then, she said that she was robbed, and you came back empty-handed?" ”

Zhang Gui opened his mouth, wanting to refute two words such as not disobeying elders, but finally swallowed back.

Pu Cao snorted coldly, motioned for Peach Blossom to play with Shanzi, then straightened up and said, "Do you think that after reading a few sage books in your stomach, you will regard yourself as a sage?" If the sages say a few words casually, their stomachs will not be hungry, and the winter will not be cold, then I really want to admire you.

It's a pity that Peach Blossom doesn't understand the words of the sages, you have to suffer from cold and starvation for the name of respecting the elderly, don't pull Peach Blossom, an eleven-year-old boy, this little thing can't be handled well, how can you live in peace in the future! ”

The more Zhang Gui listened, his eyes widened, his fists clenched and his muscles burst out, at this moment in his heart, he hated his sister-in-law who suddenly became as sharp and vicious as a sword, he wanted to scold her like his mother and eldest brother in the past, but for some reason he choked in his throat and didn't dare to speak, gasped a few times, and finally flicked his sleeves and went straight down the mountain.

Pu Cao raised his eyebrows, turned around and greeted the peach blossoms and mountains on his little face, and continued to salute, one big and two small just wrapped a few pieces of torn clothes in the rotten cotton bedding, a few pottery bowls and less than half a bag of grain noodles were also packed into the small iron pot, Zhang Guier finally climbed up again, the original dirty clothes were no longer visible, the tied bun was also scattered, and there was even a bright slap mark on the right face.

Taohua'er was stunned, and immediately cried and pounced, Zhang Guier hugged her sister, threw the two cloth bags in her hand to the ground, and glared at Pu Cao, just waiting for her to praise or apologize, but unfortunately Pu Cao didn't even lift her eyelids, smiled and ripped off the linoleum on the shack and threw it on the cloth bag, and said, "Carry it together, let's go." ”

After speaking, carrying the salute and pots and pans, and leading the mountain down the mountain, Zhang Guier was so angry that he stomped his feet heavily, but he had to hug the cloth bag and linoleum, and took his sister to follow.

When the family found their own two acres of bud valley land, the sun had reached the top of their heads, and the mountains and peach blossoms were so hungry that their stomachs were gurgling, so Pucao took Zhang Gui'er to the river to fetch water, and then took them to dig wild vegetables.

Although the day is the beginning of autumn, but the wild vegetables in the field are still fresh and tender, soon, shepherd's cabbage, pig ears and so on put together a big handful, not waiting for Pucao to speak, the peach blossom sensibly started to wash up, Pucao praised her two sentences, looked around, saw that there were a few rows of potatoes planted in the field next to it, immediately overjoyed, along their own grain past, secretly dug a few big potatoes out, and put the potato seedlings back as they were, and then ran back happily.

Zhang Guier's eyes widened, and before he could scold the word thief, he was blocked by Pu Cao, "If you don't eat it, just scold!" Immediately, he turned his head with a red face, and he was out of sight.

Pucao sat the small iron pot on the ditch, blocked the back with stones, burned the dead branches below, and it became a simple earthen stove, poured half a pot of water into the pot, cut the potatoes into pieces and threw them in, after they were cooked thoroughly, they grabbed the bread of grain noodles, stirred while sprinkling it in, and waited until the pot was opened, and finally put wild vegetables, add a little salt, and a pot of fragrant potato porridge was boiled.

The golden bud grain noodles, the green wild vegetables, with the soft and glutinous potato wedges, the greedy Shanzi and the peach blossoms squatted aside and swallowed saliva, naturally, the two of them got a bowl first, hugged it and sat aside to take a small sip and drink it.

Zhang Guier didn't want to eat, but in the end she couldn't bear the hunger, and she snorted and ate very sweetly, Pucao smiled and sucked along the edge of the bowl, and her lips were stained with a circle of bud porridge, as if she had grown a golden beard, which made Shanzi and Peach Blossom giggle with laughter...

When Chunni and his wife rushed over, they saw that their family was not as miserable and pitiful as they imagined, but they were so happy, their eyes were full of confusion, but they were also much relieved.

Pu Cao jumped up and invited their husband and wife to drink porridge together, both of them finished eating, Chunni even touched two more cakes from her arms, Pu Cao wanted to ask a few words, but when she saw Liu Housheng on the side, she endured it and thanked her instead.

After simply picking up the dishes and chopsticks, everyone started together to simply set up two shacks, one large and one small, not far from the edge of the field, the big one was kept with Pucao and two children, and the small one was given to Zhang Guier, although it was a tree branch and other things everywhere, but everyone was busy and the sun was already on the west mountain, and Pucao did not stay politely to eat, and he muttered a few words with Chunni and sent them back.

The leftover porridge at noon was hot, the two pieces of cake were broken in half, and the family finished eating, Zhang Guier touched the book and came out, and read it hungrily and thirstily on the fire.

Pucao told Peach Blossom and Shanzi to take good care of the house, so they went back to the village in the dark, Chunni waited at the entrance of the village, pulled her together to avoid the eyes of people and turned into the old house of the Zhang family, one splashed dirt on the roof, and the other went into the house to make a fuss, and then quietly retreated.

Things were arranged, Pucao was in a good mood, and she didn't even feel that the dark crops were terrifying, and happily hummed a little song and stumbled back, but as soon as she arrived near the shack, she heard a clattering sound coming from the field, so she immediately raised her eyebrows and turned around to Zhang Guier's shack.

Zhang Gui'er had just fallen asleep, and he heard someone come in and suddenly woke up, and was just about to ask, Pu Cao had already covered his mouth, and whispered, "There is a thief stealing bud valley, hurry up and go over with me to catch it." ”

If it was before, Zhang Guier would definitely have to reprimand Pucao for having no rules, but today, after tasting the taste of starvation, food is better than rules and etiquette in his heart, so he got up quickly and quietly drilled into the bud valley with Pucao.

The two of them took advantage of the moonlight, and the shadow blanched and saw that one of his subordinates kept breaking the bud valley, and they were all extremely angry, and they listened carefully to the fact that there was no movement elsewhere, so they surrounded them one after the other, shouting, "Where did the thief come from!" ”

As he spoke, he suddenly threw down the man, who was frightened and struggled desperately to run, but he couldn't tear Pucao and Zhang Gui'er, and they were pulled out of the bud valley in the end.

Shanzi and Peach Blossom woke up and ran out, and when they heard their sister-in-law and brother scolding angrily, they hurriedly lit a fire, and the man desperately covered his face with his sleeve, but unfortunately, under the light of the fire, everything was hidden.

Zhang Gui'er's face turned pale, she threw away her hand angrily, and said angrily, "Second aunt, you... You..."Originally, Pu Cao proposed to live on the ground, in case Zhang Er's family came to steal the bud valley, he still felt that it was too much, although his cousin's family was not successful, but he would not be a thief, but he didn't expect that the second aunt would come to the door without more than one night, which was tantamount to slapping him hard.

Second Aunt Zhang saw that she couldn't hide, so she had to put down her sleeves and said with a dry smile, "I heard that you moved here and you were worried about it, so I came over to take a look." ”

Pu Cao sneered, "Yo, then I want to thank the second aunt for worrying, but the second aunt didn't bring some edible things to eat, why did she break our family's buds with a basket in the middle of the night, could it be that the second aunt did good deeds without leaving a name and helped us collect the land in advance?" ”
