Chrysanthemum was stunned for a moment, and asked Meizi funny: "What are you doing without coming out of the house all afternoon?" ”

She actually wanted to know what Meizi was doing at home with Hua Pozi.

Meizi smiled: "I'm turning over the ground with my mother." I planted a ridge of eggplants, pulled grass for peppers and cucumbers, and was busy with chores all afternoon. Alas, chrysanthemums, I have fewer pepper seeds. I want to plant more, but there is no place to plant it, and there are no pepper seedlings. ”

Chrysanthemum heard that she was dragging the flower woman to do coolies, and couldn't help laughing silently, listening to her talk about chili seedlings, she said busily: "I was too little before, so I sprinkled some chili seeds later, but this time there were more." If you're ready to tear it up, throw it away, and if you want to, pull some of it. There are also vegetable melon seedlings, lentil seedlings, there are many of them.

If you don't have a place to plant, you can plant it under the courtyard wall, and you can plant some outside the yard. It is to prevent the scourge of chickens and ducks. ”

Meizi said happily when she heard this, "That's what I said." I'll come to you in two days when I'm free. I'm going home to cook, won't you go back and cook? ”

Chrysanthemum smiled: "My mother is cooking dinner!" ”

Meizi nodded, thinking enviously, it is a blessing not to be married. However, she dragged Li Changming and thought happily as she walked, Brother Changming protects herself in everything, even if he cooks, he has to help, and he is also blessed to be married.

When the little couple entered the courtyard gate, Aoki and Zhang Huai laughed at the same time.

Chrysanthemum couldn't help laughing, she asked Zhang Huai in wonder, "When Meizi didn't move over, it was the same over there?" ”

Zhang Huai glanced at her and said with a smile: "I'm not often at home, and I don't know very well." But—" He paused for a moment, and said with a smile, "Morning and evening, you can hear the voice of the plum." ”

He looked up at the courtyard of Li Changming's house, and when he saw that no one came out, he forced his voice to Aoki and Chrysanthemum: "Mother-hurry up, wash the dishes and feed the pigs!" Mother-up! ”

Chrysanthemum listened to his strange voice, glared at him, and asked in surprise: "It's just enough to tell her to wash the dishes and feed the pigs, why do you have to shout when you get up?" Boss Li doesn't know how to wake up his daughter-in-law? ”

Zhang Huai said: "Boss Li must have called it, but we don't know what it called." However, he has been calling for decades, but this woman always gets up slowly to cook and do things after their father and son have gone to the ground. Since Meizi got married, she called her mother in the yard early in the morning, and the people around her could hear it clearly, didn't Hua Pozi dare to get up? To be honest, I didn't want to get up in the morning, and as soon as Meizi called my mother in the yard over there, I couldn't sleep in bed, so I got up quickly. After she moved here, no one called Hua Pozi anymore, and I wasn't used to it! ”

Aoki laughed out loud when he heard "haha", and even Chrysanthemum lowered his head and laughed.

After a while, she squatted on the ground and picked up the small stones with sharp blades and threw them aside, while pouting and saying, "Isn't there such a thing at home, this mother-in-law has always had to be watched and urged to work, and it is really a good skill." ”

Zhang Huai hurriedly said: "Don't wronged her—she has improved a lot recently, and she will take the initiative to do those things." The plum was called this at first, but then when spring began, it became that she was told to get up early to shoot pigweed—saying that she had caught an extra pig, and she was afraid that the acorns would not be enough to eat, so she should mix less. When I came back from hunting pigweed, I had to sweep the yard, feed the pigs, and turn the ground to plant vegetables. Anyway, Meizi turned around the group she arranged all day long, but Meizi herself was too busy to turn around, otherwise how could she be so obedient. ”

Aoki and Chrysanthemum laughed again.

Aoki said: "This is called one thing falling into one thing." It's okay for the flower woman to meet the plum. I saw her just now that she wanted to go back to the yellow eel, but Meizi first said that she would send a bowl of it when it was cooked, and then said that the rest should be kept for planting seedlings and vegetables, so she couldn't let out a fart. ”

Zhang Huai shook his head and said: "She just wants to eat some of the plums when they are cooked, she doesn't dare to ask for them." Don't you know, last time, because she stole the pancakes left by the plum for Brother Changming, the dog girl cleaned her up so hard, listening to my mother, she cried when she scolded. She listened to Meizi so much, in addition to the fact that Meizi didn't listen to her at all, but also because she was a little afraid of the dog. ”

Chrysanthemum remembered the way the dog girl pulled down her face, I was afraid that it was really not good-looking, so I laughed again when I thought about it.

Laughing and laughing, the two roads have been crushed, and Aoki wiped his sweat and said, "It's done." Ming'er would like to cut some willow branches and plug them in. ”

Zhang Huai wiped his face with a cloth towel and said, "You can't cut it on the willow tree in the village—it was too much last time." Ming'er should look farther away and cut some at the foot of the mountain on the other side of Tiaozitang. ”

Seeing that they were drenched in sweat, Chrysanthemum urged: "You two hurry up and clean up, I'll go back and let my mother boil a pot of hot water first, so you can take a shower and change this wet clothes, otherwise it will be easy to get cold." ”

Zhang Huai lowered his head and put the sharp stones thrown aside by the chrysanthemum into the bamboo basket, cleaned up the side of the road, and said nonchalantly: "I won't have dinner here, just go back to take a bath, so I don't have to change my clothes." ”

Chrysanthemum was stunned for a moment, then looked at him and said softly: "Let my brother find a clothes for you to change." It's not good to go back without eating, and it's not good to be hungry. ”

Zhang Huai was a little stunned when he heard this, and for a while he looked at the chrysanthemum and didn't say anything, but the chrysanthemum called loudly to Xiao Qinghe: "Duck boom······ Duck ······"

With her call, several ducks climbed up from the river and staggered straight over, still "quacking" at the same time

Aoki looked at the stunned Zhang Huai and turned him hard: "Don't you want to go?" ”

Zhang Huai blushed suddenly, and hurriedly responded: "Hey! While packing up the bamboo basket with Aoki, he pushed the stone grinder to the gate of the yard.

After Aoki and Zhang Huai finished taking a bath, changed into dry clothes, and sat in the courtyard, a full moon was already climbing up in the sky, hanging obliquely in the blue sky, and the starry sky also indicated that Ming'er was a good weather again; The frogs also began their unpleasant band playing; The thin evening breeze blew in from outside the courtyard wall, soft, neither cold nor hot.

Yang leaned out of the kitchen and asked Aoki, saying that he might as well eat in the yard.

Aoki got up and moved out of the small square table, and Yang and Chrysanthemum put the meal in the courtyard and ate dinner in the moonlight.

The silver glow was all over the ground, illuminating a few bushes of green bamboos and a few small peach trees in the yard. Under such moonlight, people speak softly unconsciously, and only the crisp sound of chopsticks hitting the bowl can be heard.

The big black dog lingered around the table, and Chrysanthemum yelled at it, "Didn't you pretend to be a meal?" What are you doing here? ”

Yang Qiu said with a smile: "This dog has the most intelligent nose, I'm afraid that I smell the aroma of meat on the table, and I don't like my own food." You didn't pour some soup on it? ”

Chrysanthemum said angrily: "You can't get used to it, if you eat it, what will you do in the future?" Isn't it eaten every time the meat and bones are eaten? ”

Zhang Huai couldn't help laughing when he saw her arguing with the dog, it was not obvious in the moonlight, in order to cover it up, he said to Aoki: "Your little table is good, I wanted to talk about it last time." It's just right to bring it out in the summer and eat out. ”

Aoki said: "This table is very simple, and it doesn't cost anything, you can find a piece of wood and ask Carpenter Li to help you make one." ”

Yang Shi hurriedly said: "Yes, you can make one too, it is very good to eat it, and it can be used for many years." Come, Huaizi, eat this meat roasted mushroom. I'm tired all day, so I need to rest well in the evening. ”

Zhang Huai hurriedly stretched out his hand to catch the dish brought by Yang, and said, "Hey! Auntie, let me carry it myself. I don't feel too tired, our farmer's baby, what is it to do this kind of work. ”

Chrysanthemum looked at his side face, which was smooth and soft by the moonlight, and his eyes were shining with moonlight. Suddenly, he turned his head to look at himself, and smiled slightly, not as cold as the moonlight, but as warm as the sun.

She smiled softly, just like the evening breeze, slicing across people's cheeks, leaving a soft touch.

Zhang Huai only felt that his heart was fluttering gently, and the moon was shining brightly, and this warm and intimate atmosphere made this teenager feel that life was so beautiful. However, he just faintly experienced this warmth, and was not ecstatic, as if such excitement was not suitable for this situation, and would be shocked by this warmth and break this beauty.

Aoki couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he saw that his mother loved this kid so much.

Suddenly, he thought funny, his sister really wants to marry Zhang Huai, and she and her father will have one more person to care about; I got married to Liu Yunlan, and I was also concerned about her in my heart, I don't know if she was tired or not, and whether her brother had become more obedient. Does that sister feel that her brother is paying more attention to someone and eating like he just did?

There should be.

I've always only taken care of my sister alone, but now that there is one more person, she must have an idea in her heart. However, it was impossible for her to prevent her brother from marrying a daughter-in-law for this, so she didn't show it, and personally helped herself to see her daughter-in-law.

He smiled and despised his little eyes, and said to Huaizi: "Have a good rest these days, and when you have enough energy, you will harvest wheat." Have you eaten well? Come, let's divide this soup

He scooped up the casserole, poured the egg soup inside into Zhang Huai's bowl, and poured the rest into his own bowl.

Zhang Huai wanted to stop it, but it was too late, he picked up the bowl and asked Chrysanthemum and Yang, "Don't you want soup for your aunt and Sister Chrysanthemum?" ”

Yang smiled: "I drank a big bowl of miles first, and the chrysanthemums don't eat much at night, so you two can drink it." ”

Zhang Huai took a sip of soup and praised: "This egg soup is very fresh, why does it have the fragrance of bacon?" Mushrooms were also put in. ”

Chrysanthemum laughed and said, "You should really go to Qinghui Restaurant to be a chef, maybe you can become a chef." ”

Zhang Huai smiled embarrassedly: "I didn't have anything good to eat before, so I naturally didn't know what it tasted like." Nowadays, I eat meat more often, and I can remember the taste of meat clearly. ”

Yang was sad when he heard this, sighed and said, "This baby, I feel very sad in my heart. Usually, there is nothing to eat, a pig, fed to the end of the year, and there are not a few catties of meat left at home, and sometimes even a little bit is reluctant to stay, how do you know what the meat tastes like. Cooking a soup with mushrooms is the freshest, at most stirring an egg into it. ”

Aoki poured down the soup, wiped his mouth, and said with a smile: "Sensei said that frustrating words, if you can figure out the temperament of this mushroom in the future, then we will grow mushrooms on the mountain, be diligent, and there will be no shortage of food." ”
