Chapter 12: Who is the Vixen?
After a good night's sleep and a good night's sleep, Yukimi is young in the end, and Yukimi is back to life.
Early in the morning, I heard that a sheep came back yesterday, and I was discussing with Erniang to eat shabu-shabu. Xiaoyue, the daughter-in-law of the Wang family, came over early and sent a pot of tofu.
It turns out that the mill in this village is public, and few people usually use it, but at the end of the month, because every family has to grind the flour and grind the tofu, the mill is busy at this time, and the daughters-in-law of each family discuss the amount of arrangement before and after.
Today it was Zhao's turn to be the first to take the lead, she got up early in the morning, picked up the work at home, slipped away before dawn and cleaned up the mill, after grinding the soybean milk, went home and separated the bean dregs, made tofu, and was instructed by her mother-in-law to send a big pot to the Zhou family.
Zhao and his mother-in-law had a thought, they used to help the Zhou family when they could do their best, but it was just for the sake of Zhou's mother's face, but now they found that the Zhou family actually did not have such a big shelf, and it was not as dilapidated as the village said.
On the contrary, in addition to Zhou's mother's family, the second mother who is in charge of the matter can speak well, and her words make people's hearts ironed; Siniang laughs first when she meets people, and her temper is gentle; Not to mention the girl named Xuejian, who makes a good meal, and looks like a fairy, she is very calm about people, she doesn't look down on her, so you don't feel humble, anyway, Xiaoyue likes her very much.
Erniang hurriedly asked Zhou's mother to cut off two legs of mutton, and saw Xiaoyue looking at the ice lamps that could be seen everywhere on the wall of Zhou's house, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't look at it, I'll make you two new ones when I go back, and let you take them." ”
Xiaoyue was really embarrassed at this moment: "Look at me, I exchanged tofu for two leg of mutton, and then asked for a few ice lamps from your house, I don't need my mother-in-law to scold, I myself felt that I was too much first." ”
Xue Jian also smiled: "Aunt Wang will not blame you, she will only praise, look at my daughter-in-law, she is still a businessman, this deal is really good!" ”
Xiaoyue knew that she was joking, so she simply smiled and straightened up and twisted her: "Xiaoyue, I'm still here today, what's the matter, what's the matter, you girl has a sharp mouth to say it, see if I don't clean you up!" ”
Sanni next to her heard that she wanted to make an ice lamp, so she ran out of the door a long time ago, and said in a loud voice: "You screw it, scold it, I have a hard life, do the rough work of the lamp, or I'll come." ”
Wu Niang, Qi Niang and Qian'er had already listened to the letter and rushed to do it.
So Xue Jian said: "Look, these two ice lanterns, you don't have to thank me, but someone will thank you for giving me a chance." ”
Xiaoyue waited for them to make ice lanterns, and while sighing that the young master and young lady from this big place were really dexterous, she talked about the joke among the villagers last night.
It is said that when someone saw with their own eyes that every household sent the god of the stove, there were immortals floating down in the moon and drifting straight into the courtyard of the Zhou family, and the walls of the courtyard of the Zhou family were full of lamps made of ice in an instant, just like a fairy mansion.
If it weren't for a fairy, who would have ever seen ice that can set fire and the ice still melt?
Xue saw that she laughed until her stomach hurt, and Zhou's mother also wiped her tears and said, "Nonsense! The ice lamp was frozen to the wall one by one by Xue seeing the girl stepping on the ladder, how could there be any fairy. ”
Xiaoyue realized that what the villagers saw was a frozen ice lamp on the wall that Xue saw, and then spread it like this with false rumors.
It's no wonder that the villagers misunderstood, Xiaoyue turned her head to look at Xuejian, she really hadn't seen such a beauty, she had always thought that several young ladies of the Zhou family had come out of the painting, who knew that this Xuejian was Lingxiu and beautiful that could not be drawn in the painting.
On the ice lamp sent to Xiaoyue, there are still small window flowers cut by Sanni frozen, I can't help but admire the ingenuity of these girls, according to the gourd given by Xuejian, I made a variety of scoops!
Later, I heard that this idea was come up with Saburo, and Xue couldn't help but smile, this Saburo is actually only fourteen years old, in his previous life, he was still a junior high school student, and now he has become a gentleman of several younger brothers and sisters, which shows that he is really knowledgeable.
When Xiaoyue left, Sanni perforated both sides of the ice lamp and tied a cotton rope so that it was convenient for Zhao to carry, and Zhao smiled embarrassedly and said, "I'm not here to send tofu, but like I'm here to beg for something." ”
Looking at the appearance of her left hand lamp and right leg of mutton, Yukimi quipped: "My sister-in-law is here to send blessings, and it's too late for us to welcome it." ”
Let's think about it, rot and blessing have the same sound, it is indeed very auspicious, and Xiaoyue left with a smile.
The Zhou family is now unprecedentedly busy, the New Year is approaching, the study in the morning and afternoon has stopped, the second mother and the fourth mother, Du Ma and Sanni are busy making new clothes and shoes for the whole family, and Zhou Jinsheng is almost every day with Zhang Dashan Wang and takes the leopard up the mountain to hunt and chop wood.
The weather is cold and freezing, there are many people in the family, this firewood can not be vague at all, Zhou Bo Du Hai and the big tiger and the second tiger Zhou Mancang go to fish twice a day, San Lang and Liu Lang can also help somewhat, so that Du Hai can run to Anning County every three days, it is really the ice bed to the extreme, Xue Jian thought, fortunately there is no need to refuel, otherwise this oil money can not hurt!
Xue Jian and Zhou's mother kept frying rice cakes, fried chops, fork croquettes, fried bacon, only one kind of tofu, Xue Jian conjured up frozen tofu tofu dried tofu bubbles, and prepared all kinds of cooked meat dishes and marinades, and the courtyard basically floated with the smell of meat every day; Wu Niang Qian'er took a group of children to carefully take care of the bean sprouts and garlic seedlings, and she was already able to complete the tasks of watering and picking independently.
Every day after dinner, it is a happy time for everyone. After a delicious dinner with vegetables and meat, everyone would gather in the lobby house of Zhou Bo's courtyard, and sometimes, everyone would tell each other some jokes that the people around them accidentally made during the day, such as Saburo almost fell into a narrow ice hole, such as Erhu and the daughter of the owner of the fishing shop, such as Yukimi helping to sew clothes and sewing the back hem and front placket together.
Then it's time for Yukimi to tell the story, Yukimi originally planned to tell the story of Journey to the West, but Journey to the West is too long, and she can't remember it all, so she simply added her own imagination and other ghost stories, think about it, it's fun anyway. When Xue Jian was telling the story, at first it was just a few small pot friends listening, and then it was a few Erniang, and then Sanni and the others came to urge after cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and in the end, everyone, including the Zhou family, Dalang Sanlang, also had to listen to a paragraph every day.
What Yukimi didn't know was that every night when he returned to his room, Saburo would write down the story she had said, and of course he would delete some of the obvious holes she had said and polish them. When San Lang did this at the beginning, it was just because Shi Niang was too young after all, and she still couldn't understand some stories, so she wrote them down and told them to her slowly.
Every night before going to bed, Zhou Bo used the newly developed Zhou's form to keep accounts and settle accounts, and it was really fast and accurate, and slowly taught this method and the addition, subtraction, multiplication and division learned from Xuejian to Erniang Saburo and others, and everyone became more and more convinced of his brother's intelligence!
Looking at the surplus of silver at home, although it is not much, Erniang and Siniang are still slightly relieved, they are really afraid of the lack of food and clothing in the past few months. When I first returned to my old house, I either complained about the sky or was extravagant, and I didn't expect that there would be days when I couldn't eat.
