Woo, I was wrong, I slept too late last night, I woke up late this morning, and I just rushed a chapter to send it up! Next time, I won't stay up late, and the evening update will be moved to 20 o'clock. It's normal in the future, cover your face and run away! ）

Pu Cao said with a smile, "My sister-in-law also said that it was a gadget, so what is it polite, is it out of sight of our family?" ”

Second sister-in-law Chen laughed when she heard this, got up and said, "Okay, then it's not polite, I'll go back to eat, and if you have any work, just shout." ”

Pu Cao sent Chen's second sister-in-law out, and when she came back, she saw Chunni squatting between those baskets and rummaging and picking up, the corners of her mouth were grinning to the root of her ears, and she couldn't help but laugh and scold, "You Nizile can't be stupid, and the second sister-in-law won't send it away when she leaves." ”

Chunni glared at her and muttered in a low voice, "If I don't do this, the second sister-in-law will still sit down, and maybe these good things will be divided in half with her." ”

Pu Cao casually took a moon-white muslin and looked at it, and said with a strange smile, "You miser, but you are becoming more and more like your mother-in-law." ”

Chunni's face darkened when she heard this, and her subordinates were slow to pick up, and she said after a while, "It's not that the days are too poor to make trouble, whoever has money will give favors generously." ”

Pu Cao didn't expect to arouse the sorrow in her heart, and hurriedly persuaded, "You will be able to sell vegetables in ten days, so you just wait for the silver to be put in your pocket." Quickly put away this face, others still think that I don't share your things to make you angry. ”

"Divide me?" Chunni took a step back and waved her hand to refuse, "I don't want it!" My son and I have dragged you down a lot, these are all valuable things, and you can't ask for them anymore. ”

Pu Cao was so angry that she stretched out her hand to poke her head, "I said that these things should be the buyer's, and the money will be returned after selling the vegetables." You have a share of the money for that dish, and naturally you have a share of this thing. ”

Chunni pondered for a moment and felt that this was right, so she smiled and said, "Then you must remember to deduct it from your salary at that time." ”

"Remember, promise to remember." Pu Cao waved his hand carelessly, "You see me like the one who suffers!" ”

The two laughed and separated a bunch of food and use, Chunni only took half of the small and left the rest for Pucao, after all, the Zhang family has a large population.

Pu Cao heard Chunni talking about sending it to her mother's house to be filial to her father, so she said, "Let's sell vegetables immediately, and it's not too late to be filial to the family when the time comes." But the last time I helped send my son to the city to treat his injuries, should you return the gift? ”

Chunni was stunned for a moment, and responded, "That's just a trivial matter, just send a bag of snacks during the New Year, don't be in such a hurry to return the gift, right?" ”

Pu Cao shrugged his shoulders, "It's hard to say about human favors, you think you owe him a bud grain, but people think that you owe a watermelon, or it's too early." ”

Chunni is a persuasive person, especially after giving birth to a child, Pucao is helping Zhang Luo, and her dependence is even heavier. Hearing her say this, she said, "Okay, I'll go and return the gift in the evening." After saving money, they used this sentiment to come to the door to ask how to grow vegetables, and I couldn't refuse. ”

Pu Cao blinked, got up and hugged Chunni's head and pretended to look at it, causing Chunni to ask suspiciously, "I have a bunch of ash on my head?" ”

Pu Cao shook her head and said with a regretful face, "No, I just want to see if there is something open in your head, why are you suddenly so smart?" ”

Chunni pondered for a while before she realized that she was being ridiculed for being clumsy, and immediately rushed to Pucao to tickle and breathe, Pucao quickly dodged and shouted, "Look at your feet, don't kick and spill vegetable oil!" ”

Chunni was afraid that she would spoil the good things, so she hurriedly stopped chasing and stopped chasing, and looked at Pu Cao, who was smiling and bent over, grinding her teeth.

didn't mention how Pucao and Chunni laughed, only said that Dongzi sat in the carriage all the way and was depressed and worried about how to talk to the master, and he didn't have the happy appearance when he came.

The coachman Lao Wang wanted to persuade a few words, but he was helpless to be clumsy, so he had to hurry up and press through the thick snow to rush back to the house.

The small plum grove planted in the northeast corner of Nian'en Garden actually bloomed a tree in the wind and snow last night, and the small red flowers bloomed on the withered branches, and the surrounding snow scene was even brighter.

The little steward who had already figured out the master's preferences, after lunch, he instructed the maid to add a charcoal basin to the painting building, and the tea, snacks, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone were also prepared.

The thick ink of the half-inkstone had just been studied, and the cinnabar was also turning bright, and when Fang Jie was drinking hot tea and had not yet started writing, Dongzi probed his brain outside the door with a weak face, and did not dare to come in and reply.

The little steward happened to see it and said, "Childe, Dongzi is back from his errands." ”

Fang Jie raised his eyebrows, turned his head and asked the personal servant who walked in with a look of annoyance, "Why, it didn't work out?" ”

Dongzi saluted and said with a wry smile, "Back to Gongzi's words, things... It's done, that's... It's just that the sister-in-law of the Zhang family doesn't accept it, and the little one runs back after throwing things down. ”

"Don't accept it?" Fang Jie replied in a noncommittal whisper, then picked up the pen and began to paint, and said after a while, "What did she want you to say?" ”

Dongzi didn't dare to hide it, so he told the matter from beginning to end, and at the end, for fear that the master would blame him, he carefully explained the things that were eaten and used, and then shrank his head and waited for it to fall.

I didn't want Fang Jie to have no annoyance on his face, but instead the brushes under his hand moved on the rice paper like a cloud, and the pleasant appearance of the corners of his mouth was slightly upturned that made Dongzi, who was peeking at the master, dumbfounded.

The little steward slowly took two steps back, pulled Dongzi out of the painting building, and said at a distance, "Why are you stupid, you ghost cleverness, if the master doesn't punish you, hurry up and retreat, what are you waiting for?" ”

Dongzi scratched the back of his head vigorously and said strangely, "Every time the master gives a gift to the peony girl, the peony girl will return a purse or something, this time the little sister-in-law doesn't know how to lift, how can our son not only not be angry, but... Well, it's a joy to watch? ”

The little steward slapped him on the head, which was the same breath as yesterday, and scolded with a smile, "Aren't you smart, just guess it yourself, and ask me what I'm doing?" ”

Dongzi hurriedly saluted, but unfortunately the little steward made up his mind not to stop the whole thing, and the two of them pulled out of the garden and gradually walked away.

Fang Jie stood in front of the window and glanced at it, and continued to look down to carefully describe the plum blossom. One by one, one petal, no peony is rich, no peony is delicate, but in the independent wind and snow, it has its own proud demeanor...

The women in the Nanshan ravine, sitting on the big kang to do needlework these days, have a new topic. No matter what you say at the beginning, in the end, you can always turn to the heavy gifts received by the Zhang and Liu families.

And because Mrs. Chen's family is closest to the two families, everyone says that their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law know the inside story best, so the number of women who come to Chen's house to do needlework is increasing day by day.

No, just opened the sewing basket on this day, and as soon as the soles of the shoes were held in her hands, a little daughter-in-law said tentatively, "Yesterday, my sheep dung and eggs were pinched by me twice!" This leather monkey looks at your strong man's ice and makes a sound, and he is clamoring to ask his father to buy one. It's good that our family can have a full stomach, how can we have the money to buy him that good thing, if you don't beat him, I'm afraid that I will have the stars and the moon. ”

Sister-in-law Chen and sister-in-law Chen glanced at each other, their faces full of boredom. They have said it hundreds of times in the past few days, why are these people just grabbing and asking endlessly.

Second sister-in-law Chen looked at her mother-in-law and frowned, so she scolded with a smile, "Sun Guihua, you are really a thoughtful old lady." I've told you a few times, and you still have to mention this. If your family doesn't have money to buy good things for your children, how much richer will our family be? It was Pucao next door who received a thank you gift from someone and shared it with our children to play. ”

"Thank you? Thank you for what? Another slightly older woman next to her hurriedly picked up the conversation, and asked with a low smile, "I saw it that day, and that rich boy is really handsome." ”

Aunt Chen didn't sound good when she heard this, and she also said, "Didn't you say it that day, that rich boy is a restaurant owner, and he used to fund Pucao to grow vegetables, and this time he came to visit the growth of vegetable seedlings." I was afraid that Pucao had no vegetables to entertain the guests, so I sent a few salted duck eggs over, and after the boy went back, he felt abrupt, so he sent some thank-you gifts, and our children got a gadget with it. ”

The woman saw that Aunt Chen's face was a little annoyed, and she was really itchy when she had the heart to shut up and stop asking, so she smiled dryly, "I went to sit with Sister-in-law Kong Liu the day before yesterday, and I saw that Chunni sent a lot of japonica rice and fine noodles. I'm afraid that the two of them didn't receive less of this thank-you gift? ”

"That's it," the other person answered, "This pucao girl originally looked wilted, but now she has become a monkey spirit, and her vision is also high, and ordinary people are afraid that they will not be in the eye..." ”

Sister-in-law Chen couldn't listen to it, and couldn't help but interject, "She shouldn't be able to see it, Aunt Zhang didn't treat her well at the beginning, how many times she was so hungry that she fell to the side of the road, and she didn't see anyone give her a piece of cake, and at that time, only Chunni was protecting her." ”

The woman was jealous, after all, they didn't see the white japonica rice and fine noodles a few times a year, and they heard rumors that the Zhang family had received at least two bags, and who was not as uncomfortable as growing grass in their hearts.

At this time, she was choked by Sister-in-law Chen again, and her heart was a little sour, and she was a little speechless, "Sister-in-law shouldn't say this, that mother-in-law is so splashy, who dares to provoke her." Even Pu Cao was probably pretending to be stupid in front of her at the beginning, otherwise as soon as Mrs. Zhang died, she would immediately be a monkey spirit. No, even the rich people in the city have been provoked back. ”

"Alright, alright." Aunt Chen saw that her eldest daughter-in-law was blushing and had a thick neck and wanted to argue with others again, so she opened her mouth to stop, "They all live in the same village, and if you look up and don't look down, you can't use anyone's house." Everyone can say a few words to relieve their boredom, but don't say that these are some or not, it should be sad to pass on to Pucao's ears. ”

When everyone heard this, they all shut up, and slowly talked about other things, and when it was time to make the next meal, they dispersed.

Sister-in-law Chen swept the kang from beginning to end with a broom, and scolded in a low voice, "These people who talk about their wives' tongues, they don't have good people in their mouths." ”

Chen's second sister-in-law picked up the sewing basket and put it on the lid of the box, and persuaded, "Don't be angry with Pucao, feng shui takes turns, maybe they will stammer to Pucao's head at some point." ”

Sister-in-law Chen sighed, "It's not easy for a woman to live, and she will inevitably be pointed at when she does anything." ”
