When Rui Xue opened his mouth to persuade again, his eyes suddenly fixed on his slightly open thin lips, could it be...

She hurriedly lowered her head and glanced at the dumplings in the pottery plate, immediately coughed repeatedly, desperately suppressed the laughter that was about to be exported, quickly picked up the plate and chopsticks and put them on the tray, and threw down a sentence, "Since the shopkeeper doesn't eat it, I'll take it to the kitchen." Then he walked out of the house and into the stove, lying on the board and laughing so much that tears flowed out, this man obviously stole so many dumplings, and he still wanted to save face, and refused to admit it, didn't he know that the two leek leaves on his front teeth had already leaked his bottom, it was so funny, so cute...

Originally, she ate coarse grains every day, and she was tired of eating it for a long time, and it was rare to eat dumplings with leeks and pork, and her cohabitant added such a joke to her, Rui Xue was in a very happy mood, and ate the remaining dumplings in one go, and washed the dishes and chopsticks.

Then I took the set of blue and white fine porcelain tea sets, brushed them carefully with warm water inside and out, pinched a small pinch of Biluochun and put it in, washed it with boiling water, and then walked into the house.

Zhao Fengnian was spreading out the pen and paper to practice calligraphy, and when he raised his eyes and saw the tea set on the tray, his face showed joy, and he forgot that he was angry with Ruixue, and opened his mouth to ask, "Is Biluochun in the pot?" ”

He used to be the best tea at home, he used to spend a thousand taels of silver, and only bought back two taels of the best red robe, but unfortunately after the disaster, the villagers only had coarse tea in their homes, and his dilapidated house did not even have coarse tea.

Rui Xue put the tray on the table, poured him a cup and pushed it over, and said with a smile, "I saw that this tea set was very elegant in the market, so I bought it back, the tea is not good, and the shopkeeper will quench his thirst." ”

Zhao Fengnian picked up the teacup, took a shallow sip, pondered for a long time, and praised, "The color is green and the soup is clear, the aroma is high and long, although it is not a top grade, but it is also extremely rare in the middle grade." ”

Rui Xue poured herself a cup, took a sip slowly, remembered a poem about tea that she had occasionally read in her previous life, and casually recited it, "The young buds are fragrant and spiritual, I am called Cao Zhongying." Night-simmering and smoke pounding, cold stoves to snow cooking. But the blue powder is scattered, and the green peanuts are tasted. ”

When Zhao Fengnian heard this poem, his subordinates were stunned, muttered a few words, and couldn't help but praise, "It's really a good sentence, where did you hear it?" The person who can write such a poem must be a tea drinker. ”

Rui Xue regretted that she was showing off for a while, how could she recite the poems of the Tang Dynasty, and hurriedly pretended to bow her head to taste tea, so that her mind quickly turned, and finally found an excuse, and said, "This is one time when I accompanied the young lady out of the house, I heard someone read it and wrote it down, I really don't know who the poet is, but I think it should be a famous artist." ”

Zhao Fengnian nodded with some disappointment, "Tea is a spiritual thing, and everyone who tastes tea is also a person of noble character. ”

Rui Xue saw that he didn't ask any more questions, so she was relieved, leaving him to continue grinding and writing, and went to the hall to clean up the pile of sundries she bought, and moved the large bathtub to the east room, put together the broken wooden utensils in the original house, stacked a few pieces of adobe, and raised the bathtub to facilitate the release of water at that time.

One of the two wooden barrels was placed at the well, and the old barrel whose beam was about to break was replaced, and the old barrel was put away and kept for later sawing off the beam to fill the grain.

Untie the hemp rope tied to the meat, hang the thinner piece into the well to keep it fresh, keep it for a few days to eat, cut the fat one into pieces and throw it into the salt jar to pickle, and then you can cut a few slices down at any time in the future, fry the fried vegetables, and the remaining meat scraps can also be stuffed and eaten.

The flour is poured into a small jar, the fine noodles, brown rice and japonica rice are put into the jar, and the eggs are put into bamboo baskets and hung on the beams...

Zhao Fengnian wrote words in his hand, but the corner of his eyes was looking at Ruixue who was busy inside and out, and his heart slowly softened, and he felt more and more that maybe he would live in this small mountain village for the rest of his life, accompanied by such a woman, although he was poor, but there was no intrigue, there was no need to doubt who would suddenly kill you, and it was not necessarily bad...

Sister-in-law Zhang came over with two clean plates, and shouted as soon as she entered the door, "Sister of the Zhao family, are you at home?" ”

Ruixue patted the ashes on her hands as she walked out of the stove and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law is here." ”

"Haha, sister, these two bowls of dumplings can make the mouths of several people in our family eat oil, and my three girls can't wait to come to your house to be girls."

Rui Xue washed her hands with water and said with a smile, "Then call her, I just have nothing to do these days, so it's okay to take her to play for two days." ”

Sister-in-law Zhang hurriedly waved her hand, "It's not that my sister-in-law is reluctant, it's that the child is too honest, and there is no time to stop, if you send her to you, it will disturb you uneasy." But if you really feel that the days are quiet, you can quickly give birth to one of your own to ensure that you are busy every day. ”

Rui Xue's face flushed at the teasing, and she glared at her with a smile, "Sister-in-law is really old and not ashamed, she will take out anything and say anything." ”

Rui Xue's original appearance was a little more heroic, this blush added three points of shyness, she was as beautiful as a flower, Sister-in-law Zhang loved it in her heart, took her hand and said, "What's so embarrassing about this, whose woman doesn't have a baby..."

Rui Xue remembered lying on the same bed with Zhao Fengnian every night, so she couldn't help but blush, and hurriedly shook Sister-in-law Zhang's arm, and said coquettishly, "Okay, sister-in-law, let's not talk about this, I have something to ask you." ”

"What's the matter, you say. Other sisters-in-law don't dare to guarantee that in this Yunjia Village, I still know a thing or two about big and small things. ”

"There are needlework people in our village, and I have not been a good woman since I was a child, and I can't make clothes, so I want to find someone to make clothes from the two pieces of cloth I bought today."

Sister-in-law Zhang slapped her on the shoulder and said with a smile, "What big deal do I do, that's it, don't look for others, bring me the cloth, it's just that the field is also busy, and I'm idle, but two nights of hard work, I promise to do it properly for you." ”

"Ah, how can it be done, sister-in-law, you're too tired." The three children of the Zhang family also raised pigs and chickens, and there was a lot of chores every day, if Zhang's sister-in-law took it, she would have to stay up late at night to catch up with work, Ruixue was a little hesitant not to go.

Sister-in-law Zhang said angrily, "You don't like your sister-in-law's craftsmanship is not good, don't worry, there is no one in this village who has better craftsmanship than me." ”

"Of course not," Rui Xue saw that Sister-in-law Zhang really wanted to help, and she was afraid that she would really take it to another family to do it on her behalf, in case she provoked the villagers to wonder where she got the money, it would be a big deal, and it would be a waste of a lot of words.

Although the peasant family is simple, there are also many bad habits, and almost everyone is willing to spread nonsense and make up some rumors, which is sometimes really annoying.

So, she nodded and smiled, "That's good, I can't let my sister-in-law suffer in vain, so I'll pay my sister-in-law's salary at the price of one hundred yuan." ”

"How's that going to work!" Sister-in-law Zhang immediately glared, "You teach our family to read, don't you confiscate our money, it's right to do a little favor in the neighborhood, and it will hurt you if you talk about money." ”

Rui Xue thought about it, and then she didn't insist, "Let's divide the labor, sister-in-law, I will take the children with me during the day, and you can be more light." What do you think? ”

"Okay," Sister-in-law Zhang said with a smile, "Several children also like to follow you, and I will also take the opportunity to be lazy and quiet for two days." ”

The two discussed a few more words, where did Rui Xue understand the clothing habits of this time and space, so she took Sister-in-law Zhang's opinion with full authority, and finally went into the house and hugged the two pieces of cloth to Sister-in-law Zhang, and sent her out.

Early in the morning of the second day, Zhao Fengnian drank a big bowl of japonica rice porridge boiled with bone broth, and went out to the school with a stomach full of fresh fragrance, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.

After Ruixue finished washing, she took Erzhuang and Sanya to her house, and took them to the back garden, squatting in the ridge of the ground, carefully intersecting the cabbage seedlings that grew to two inches high, and coaxing their brothers and sisters to tell stories.

In her previous life, for the sake of her two naughty younger brothers and sisters, she read almost all of Grimm's fairy tales, idiom stories, and One Thousand and One Nights, and she still remembered most of them in her head, so she was not afraid of running out of words, and a story was more novel and interesting than the other, so that the two children listened to it with relish, and sat honestly under the big tree outside the ridge, not making trouble or going crazy.

One big and three small talks were happy, and they listened happily, and before they knew it, the sun was in the middle. The sun after autumn seems to be about to sway into all the enthusiasm before the arrival of winter, and the vegetable garden is full of white flowers. Rui Xue wiped the sweat from her head, picked up all the cabbage seedlings in the basket with her hands, and called out to the two children, "It's noon, let's go home, and the master will continue to tell you stories in the afternoon, okay?" ”

"Okay, Master." The two children smiled and agreed, and ran forward to help her carry the basket, but Ruixue was afraid that they would step on the vegetable seedlings, so she finally stopped them.

The three of them went back to the courtyard, and met Zhao Fengnian holding a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone into the door, a half-worn royal blue cotton gown, worn on his thin body, reflecting a sick face that had not completely retreated, and the more pale.

Ruixue put the basket on the steps in front of the stove room, and greeted with a smile, "The shopkeeper is back, wash your face first to get rid of the dryness, and let's eat noodle soup at noon." ”

Zhao Fengnian nodded, walked into the house and put pen and ink.

Rui Xue patted the little head of the third girl and said, "Go back and tell your mother that you and your brother will have lunch at Shi's mother's place, and tell her not to prepare your share." ”

"Well, I want to eat the noodle soup made by Shiniang, and the fragrance made by Shiniang." The three girls combed two pigtails, wore red floral clothes and trousers, smiled with big eyes, and grinned to reveal a mouthful of small white teeth missing two "doormen", which was extremely cute.

Rui Xue smiled when she was praised by the child, and bent down to kiss her on the head, "Okay, the master will always make you something to eat in the future, go back quickly." ”

The three girls answered, jumping up and running back to their house next door.

Erzhuang is six years old this year, and he can already help do some small work at home on weekdays, and his temperament is smarter than Dazhuang, so he followed Ruixue into the stove, hugged the dead branches, and sat on the small bench to help light the fire.

In the small iron pot is the bone broth that Ruixue boiled in the morning, a small half of the porridge was used in the morning, and there was still a large half left, the milky white color, with a layer of pale yellow oil flowers floating on it, at this time, as soon as the fire was heated, the oil flowers spread out, exuding an attractive aroma.
