Fifty-fifth Ugly face and blessing
Chrysanthemum placed the simmering pot properly, and asked her brother to help place the wooden barrel.
She asked her brother to ask Carpenter Li to make a device for draining water at the bottom of the barrel—it was a small hole with a stopper, and when the water was added, she wrapped a cloth with the stopper and plugged the hole; After washing, unplug and the water will flow out on its own, without the need to pour water.
To do this, a sewer was needed where the barrels were kept. Aoki had already made it in the corner of the kitchen, and the sewer ran out of the corner and into the gutter outside, and all it had to do was move the barrel through.
After setting up the wooden barrel, adding hot water soaked in wild chrysanthemums, and taking the clothes, the chrysanthemums stripped themselves and sat down in the fragrant, steaming wooden barrels; Yang Shi also accompanied her in the kitchen, and praised while washing dishes: "This bucket is good, it's not cold at all to sit in it like this." Chrysanthemum, don't put the water after washing it later, and wash it once. ”
The chrysanthemum was soaked in hot water, and then scrubbed her small body, extremely lazy, and said weakly: "Mother, I haven't taken a bath for several days, this water is very dirty." You can boil another pot to wash, and it's not that there is no firewood. ”
Yang smiled: "Where is it so particular? I'll wash the rest of your water tonight, and I'll boil a pot of water tomorrow night to wash it well, and your father and your brother will wash it tomorrow night, it's too late. ”
Chrysanthemum only felt groggy, her body slipped down, and she couldn't even answer. She felt bad in her heart - her own physique was really bad, and she was afraid that she would faint after soaking for a long time, but fortunately her mother was on the side, otherwise it would have been miserable.
She hurriedly called out weakly: "Mother, quickly pick me up—I am very dizzy, and my body is so weak that I can't move." "If you don't scream again, you will fall into the bucket and become the first person to drown in the bath.
Yang Shi was startled, hurriedly ran over, and asked nervously, "What's wrong?" Why do you get dizzy after washing this time? ”
Chrysanthemum only felt collapsed, and whispered: "No, help me up." ”
Yang hurriedly scooped her up from the bucket, only to feel that the girl's thin little body was as soft as a rice bag, and she couldn't stand at all.
He took her in his arms, wiped her with a cotton towel indiscriminately, wrapped her in a jacket, covered her with all his clothes, and trotted into the room of the big house, and quickly covered her with a quilt, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Zheng Changhe and Aoki also found that something was wrong, and followed up with an oil lamp and asked, "What's wrong with the chrysanthemum?" ”
Yang looked at the chrysanthemum lying on the bed groggily and said, "Alas! This baby's health is really bad - she can faint after taking a bath. It's a shame that I'm with her in the kitchen, or something big will happen tonight. ”
Zheng Changhe: "This is because the water is too hot - people with weak bodies can't wash too hot water." My mother used to be like that. Aoki, pour some water to feed her. ”
Aoki hurriedly went to pour some water, and Yang took it and said to the two of them, "You guys go out first." "—Chrysanthemum hasn't dressed yet.
When the two of them went out, Yang held up Chrysanthemum's head and called softly: "Hua'er, come and drink some water?" ”
Chrysanthemum only heard her mother's voice as if it was coming from a distant place, she opened her mouth weakly, and there was a warm liquid flowing into her mouth, swallowed two mouthfuls, felt better, then opened her eyes, and said to Yang: "Mother, I'm fine." Slept. ”
Yang Shi heard her voice so faint that he could barely hear it, and knew that she hadn't eased up yet, so he nodded and said, "Sleep, my mother will come to sleep with you at night." He gently rested her head on the pillow, tucked the corners tightly, and called Aoki in to look at her, and wait for himself to take a shower before changing him.
Aoki looked at the chrysanthemum and felt very distressed - this sister didn't seem to have a good time when she was a child. I won't talk about this face being damaged, but now that life is finally better, she is like she can't live a good life, and there are many good things that she can't eat; Spend so much money to make a wooden barrel, and you can faint in a bath!
He thought about what Zhang Huai told him today and the situation when he was grinding, and felt that it was more reassuring to marry Chrysanthemum to him - Huaizi would definitely be good to Chrysanthemum. If such a weak chrysanthemum marries a person who doesn't know the details, his brother will not be at ease no matter what.
He wiped the fine sweat on Chrysanthemum's forehead with a cotton cloth, and when he saw that she was breathing evenly, he also relieved himself, so he picked up the book and read it carefully under the lamp.
At night, Yang slept with Chrysanthemum. Because of the unsteady heart, I got up a few times at night to look at the chrysanthemum, and saw that she was sleeping deeply and peacefully, so I squinted until dawn with confidence.
The next morning, Yang saw that although the chrysanthemum was still weak, it was no longer a big problem, so he told her to rest well today, and asked her father to do the things at home, so she went out with the burden of the pig in the water.
Chrysanthemum also felt annoyed in her heart - she can take a bath like this, and she is really blessed! It's just that she has always been blessed with beautiful women, why is she so blessed with this absolute ugly girl?
She sat lazily in the fire bucket, slowly holding the soles of her shoes—it was cloudy outside, and she didn't dare to sit in the yard.
Suddenly, Zhao Dazui hurriedly entered the small courtyard and shouted at Zheng Changhe: "Uncle Zheng, I'll buy a pig to go into the water." ”
Zheng Changhe hurriedly replied: "Hey! Your aunt is all done. I'll take you. The two went into the kitchen.
Chrysanthemum got off the fire bucket, followed up, and said to Zhao Dazui: "Brother Dazui, there are a lot of people today, right?" I've got you covered. If you fall in love, you can tell me and make me happy. ”
Yesterday, she thought that she had eaten an old turtle from other people, and she liked Zhao Dazui's simple temperament very much, and hoped that his daughter-in-law could fall in love, so she specially made him braised pork knuckles, braised pig tails, braised pig hearts, cold pig ears, and then the big pot of pig water and pig head meat. She wanted this dish to be more hearty, and the Zhao family's face would look better.
Zhao Dazui saw that Chrysanthemum actually helped him get such some dishes, and said a little helplessly: "Hello! I don't have that much money? What to do? ”
Seeing his honest appearance, Chrysanthemum smiled and said, "I gave this to Brother Big Mouth." If you have a sister-in-law today, you can invite us to a wedding wine next year, right? ”
Zhao Dazui was very happy, he was happy with his big mouth, and kept saying, "Hey! That big-mouthed brother is not polite to you. Chrysanthemum girl, when you get in the picture, I will invite you to drink the wine. And wow, in the spring of next year, I will catch more yellow eels and turtles to take you. ”
His honest temperament is more solid than Zheng Changhe.
He never felt weird when he looked at the chrysanthemum, and thought to himself, isn't there something more on his face, what is there to be surprised; Now that Chrysanthemum has a face towel on his face, ordinary people feel a little surprised when they see it, but he doesn't feel anything, standing in front of Chrysanthemum, he only feels that his eyes are a lot brighter, and he looks more comfortable.
Therefore, Chrysanthemum talks to him very easily, and he is very gossipy when he asks him, and he always likes to get to the bottom of it. Zhao Dazui was also happy to tell her - others would not talk to him like Chrysanthemum.
Zheng Changhe said with a smile: "You baby, you are really in your heart." It's not worth much, and it's worth it when you feel like you owe a favor. ”
Zhao smiled as he watched Chrysanthemum and Zheng Changhe move the jars into the basket he brought. Because he couldn't put it down, he borrowed a basket to fill him up.
He said to Zheng Changhe: "I'll send the guy over when I turn around." I've loaded all the dishes, and you should have nothing to do. ”
Chrysanthemum smiled: "It's out of the way." Your family must be busy today, and it will be delivered in the evening. My family now has a lot of these pots and jars, and I don't wait for these few uses. ”
Zhao Dazui walked away happily with two large baskets.
Chrysanthemum looked at his back and sighed, it is a big deal for this villager to marry a daughter-in-law, I hope he will not smash each other today.
Chrysanthemum asked Zheng Changhe: "Dad, how much can our big pig weigh?" ”
When Zheng Changhe saw her asking about this, he gushed happily: "Ouch! This pig grows fast. Originally, I estimated that by the end of the year, it would be good to have 130 or 40 pounds. But after feeding the acorn fruit in the past few months, the pig has eaten and slept and eaten every day, and now I am afraid that it has one hundred and seventy or eighty catties. At the end of the year, there will definitely be two hundred catties. ”
Chrysanthemum also smiled very happily when she heard it, and said in her heart, this is really like blowing bubbles. This pork must be fragrant!
"Dad, let's keep half of this pig after killing it, okay?" Although she always eats pig water and pig head, this pork has only been eaten once, or when she was digging a well last time, Yang weighed some pork belly and tasted it. She really wants to eat a fried pork slice or something. Alas! It's completely the same as the previous life.
Zheng Changhe saw her weak body, with a look of anticipation on her face, and followed it all kindly, and said repeatedly: "Leave half, leave half!" When this half is finished, the little pig baby should grow up. In the future, we will kill half of the pigs. ”
Father and daughter look at each other and smile!
On this day, the chrysanthemums are lazy and don't move much, and the chores are all done by Zheng Changhe, so there is no need to remember more.
In the afternoon, after Aoki came to the school, Zhang Huai asked him, "What's the matter, is that acorn tofu delicious?" ”
Aoki glanced at him and said, "What's delicious?" Haven't done it yet! Chrysanthemum fainted in the shower last night. If you don't feel comfortable today, how can you do this! ”
He said this on purpose, just to see how this kid reacted.
Zhang Huai was taken aback and asked in a panic: "Why can you faint in the bath?" So what to do? Doctor Qin is gone, and no one looks at her, but don't you carry it? ”
Aoki was very satisfied with his performance and smiled, "It's nothing, it was scary at the time." My mother said that she was afraid that her blood rushed to her head. After a night's sleep, I woke up much better, but I didn't have any energy. I was going to ask you to taste what that tofu tastes like tonight, but I'm afraid it won't work. Let's wait for tomorrow, if the chrysanthemums are good, come with me to dinner. ”
Zhang Huai was relieved when he heard this. asked worriedly: "Then Aunt Zheng went to sell vegetables, who will help her at home - Uncle Zheng can't cook." ”
Aoki was really surprised and gloated when he saw him suddenly become so verbose—wasn't this self-inflicted? If he hadn't disliked chrysanthemums before, where would he have used to hide them now, he would have gone directly to the door to see the chrysanthemums. It's good now, he puts this suffering on his own, and the chrysanthemum may not be able to look down on it!
Zhang Huai saw Aoki's smiling appearance, and his face turned red.
He understood what Aoki meant, and turned his head angrily at the moment, and said, "You also laugh at me." We are honest people and do not lie. You don't want to think about it, if someone says they like chrysanthemums without a head, do you believe it? I had some recklessness before, wasn't that normal? I thought about it for a long time, and after thinking about it carefully, I realized my own mind. I know my own mind, and I know what to do, what's wrong with that? ”

Some people questioned the inappropriate use of "giggles", saying that the book had reached the point of no return. The author is surprised: when did this commonly used word change its usage? I checked the online Xinhua Dictionary and Baidu Dictionary and Baidu Encyclopedia, yes, "咯咯" as an onomatopoeia is to describe people's laughter! Of course, at the same time, it also describes the crow of chickens, and I think some people are not used to it
The author is updated quickly, and the new book list will be off the list if it exceeds 200,000 words within a month, so it will be updated from tomorrow and will be sent in the morning. May Day resumed two shifts. Thank you for your understanding. I've always been a two-shifter, and if I haven't even earned that trust, I can't do it. Ask for recommendations!
