Farmers are simple and cheerful, but whenever they receive favors from others, they are reciprocated in the most intuitive way.

So when Rui Xue wrapped her hair, wore an apron, and cleaned the house everywhere, the mothers of the schoolchildren had already come to the door with a rich New Year's gift, and they all smiled and praised Zhao Fengnian for his good teaching, Rui Xue was happier than praising herself, and she laughed with them for a while before sending them out.

Turning around and going back to the house, seeing Zhao Fengnian standing at the door of the inner room, the corners of his mouth slightly curled, and looking at the pheasants and rabbits on the ground with raised eyebrows, Rui Xue couldn't help but blush, and said angrily, "I took pen and ink as a reward, but I didn't have the idea of deceiving them to return the gift?" ”

Zhao Fengnian coughed lightly twice, and also smiled, "This kind of business is done." ”

Rui Xue heard that he still meant to tease her, so she pouted and ignored him, and took all the rabbits and pheasants to the stove, and the rabbits were entrusted to Zhang Dahe to deal with them, and the pheasants were scalded with hot water and thrown to Wu Yu to pluck their hairs.

In the end, Da Zhuang helped the poor brother who slept on a kang, and finally stripped off the four pheasants and stuffed them into the snowdrift in the corner of the courtyard, three of them, and the remaining one was kept.

Da Zhuang wanted to pour chicken feathers, but was stopped by Rui Xue, whispered a few words in his ear, Da Zhuang's eyes became brighter and brighter the more he listened, and he ran out with Wu Yu, who was full of confusion.

When the Gao family and his wife, who had to go into the city, came back, Rui Xue got an important "seasoning" and began to carefully cook the fat pheasant, and cut very deep holes in the thighs and breasts with a knife in order to absorb the flavor, and steamed for an hour, almost missing dinner, and finally finished.

Da Zhuang and Wu Yu also ran back, grinning and shouting to complete the task, Rui Xue rewarded them with a bowl of egg custard each, and then put the fat chicken into the clay pot in the yard, and ignored it again.

Da Zhuang and Wu Yu had dinner, ran back to Zhang's house next door, did not read and practice calligraphy or tell stories to their younger siblings, Qi Qi squeezed his head in front of the window, listened to the movement outside the courtyard, aroused Zhang's sister-in-law curiosity, asked a few times, both boys laughed mysteriously and strangely, but refused to speak.

Rui Xue took care of Zhao Fengnian and washed his feet, and did not lie on the table to count the copper coins as in the past, but urged Zhao Fengnian to turn off the oil lamp early, but did not sleep, and lay on the window with a quilt, like a little mouse ready to steal oil, carefully listening to the movement.

Zhao Fengnian looked funny, squeezed into her quilt, and laughed in a low voice, "What are you and the two boys messing with?" Why are they all so thieves? ”

Rui Xue glared at him, stretched out her hand to wrap the quilt tightly for him, and whispered in his ear, "I'm avenging you." ”

The warm breath from her mouth hit Zhao Fengnian's ear, like a stream of heat, instantly spreading through his whole body, causing his face to turn uncontrollably red, and the senses of his whole body were extremely clear.

The back of the woman crowded in front of him was slender and warm, the long hair under his chin was smooth and soft, sniffing carefully, there was a faint fragrance of osmanthus, this is her dried flowers in autumn, and she often put it in the bath...

No, I can't think about it anymore, Zhao Fengnian only felt that his whole body was hot, his heart was beating like a drum, he lifted the quilt, and went back to his bed to lie down.

Rui Xue had been paying attention to the movement outside the hospital, and had not paid much attention to his expression, and was startled by his sudden movement, and asked, "What's wrong, but what's uncomfortable?" ”

"No, suddenly sleepy." Zhao Fengnian replied sullenly.

"Then you go to bed early, I'll sleep when the 'guest' leaves." Ruixue did not doubt it, and continued to stick to the window.

Zhao Fengnian hid in the quilt, thinking about when the letter would reach his friend, and then thinking of Rui Xueru's joy or sorrow if he knew his identity? Before I knew it, a long time passed, and I took down the quilt and listened carefully, but Ruixue in front of the window didn't move at all. He hurriedly sat up, but saw that she had already slept soundly on the quilt, packing up her things during the day and preparing for the New Year's food, but she was much more tired than usual.

He raised his hand in distress to brush away the long hair that was hidden on her eyelashes, and looked at the woman carefully through the color of the snow reflected in the room, with slightly heavy eyebrows, long and dense eyelashes, a tall nose, and thin lips as red as cherries.

He couldn't help but be proud and apprehensive in his heart, this is his wife, no matter what happens in the future, she is also a wife who must be by his side for the rest of his life.

Stretched out his hand to grab her, and was about to help her lie down, but he heard a "poof" sound from the yard, and his arm suddenly stopped, could it be that Rui Xue and other 'guests' came...

It is said that Wu Laosan ran out of Zhao's house that day, and he was so frightened that he was almost distracted, don't look at him daring to change the dumpling filling, and dare to provoke Zhao's second sister-in-law to come to the door to make a fuss, that is because he knows that these are just trivial matters, even if the people in the village know, they just throw him a few blank eyes, or pay attention to a few words behind his back.

However, he was so angry today that Zhao Fengnian vomited blood, in case there was a bad thing, he couldn't live in this Yunjia Village, so he had to be expelled from the village. He doesn't have the same open-mindedness as the clan elders, and his reputation is not good on weekdays, his father and mother and brothers are not close, which really provokes the children in the village to lose their husbands, and those villagers who are looking forward to the child's success must not beat him half to death.

Thinking like this, he ran home with the top pick, and fell all over the mud and snow, which startled Wu San's sister-in-law, stepped forward to help him pat, and asked, "What's wrong with you, who did you do it with?" ”

Wu Laosan ignored these, stepped forward and pulled Zhang An, who was also suspicious, and shouted with a sad face, "Manager Zhang, I made Mr. Zhao so angry that he vomited blood in order to do something for you, in case he dies, you have to help me say something." I'm doing things for you, and I have no enmity with him..."

When Zhang An heard this, he immediately glared, shook off his arm, and said, "I asked you to come to the door and ask if his house sells the shop, I didn't want you to be angry to death, this matter has nothing to do with me, since he doesn't sell it, I will leave." ”

As he spoke, he strode out of the door, how could Wu Laosan allow him to go away like this, holding him alive and dead, Zhang An was anxious and angry, for fear that he would delay for a long time and cause trouble, so he shouted again and again, "Chen Laoshi, come and help!" ”

Chen Laoshi, who was originally sitting in the car to avoid the cold, immediately jumped down when he heard his voice, ran into the yard, helped tear off Wu Laosan, escorted Zhang An into the car, threw up the horsewhip, and quickly left the village.

Wu Laosan stomped his feet and scolded, Wu San's sister-in-law finally heard what had happened from his words, and she was so angry that she took the broom on the side and slapped it on him, "I'll let you be lazy, I'll let you do everything, see how you end..."

Wu Laosan jumped around to dodge, and after a few more hits, he also became angry, snatched the broom and fought back a few times, which made Wu San's sister-in-law cry.

The two of them are husband and wife in the end, how can they not watch the family disperse, wiped two tears, discussed a few words, then collected things and locked the courtyard door, and ran to the old man of the Wu family, not to say that he had caused any trouble, but only said that he was afraid of people collecting debts, so he hid for two days first.

Although the old man of the Wu family did not want to see his third son's family, he was also his own son, so he pretended not to see the face of his second daughter-in-law, Tie Qing, and acquiesced.

At night, the three Dazhu brothers went home and locked the door, and they were all familiar with the way to find it, and the family lived in the old house of the Wu family, eating and drinking, which provoked Wu's second sister-in-law to scold Huai every day, and smashed pots and bowls.

Wu Laosan and his wife waited for two days in fear, and no one came to the door, so they sent Dazhu out to find out the news, but Dazhu asked around, and the villagers said that Mr. Zhao was in good health, and he also gave the children homework and rewards. There is a person who is grateful to Mr. Zhao, and at the end he rewarded him with two white eyes, secretly scolding their family of wicked people, how can they still hope that Mr. will not be sick?

Dazhu ran back to report the news, and when Wu Laosan heard it, he immediately straightened his waist, and felt that the Zhao family was really easy to bully, and he was so angry that he vomited blood, and he didn't tell the clan elder.

Although Wu San's sister-in-law was a little confused, she was still happy that her family would not be expelled from the village.

On this day, Dazhu wandered in the village again, saw a child go out from a distance, saw him but turned his head and ran, he felt strange, pretended to walk over, and then reflexively hid behind the haystack and waited, sure enough, before the tea effort, the child walked out with something again, and looked at the courtyard gate, which was actually Mr. Zhao's house.

The boy found a snow pit, buried a pile of chicken feathers in it, and stepped on it a few times at the end, and then ran back happily.

Dazhu's eyes are bright, there are chicken feathers to prove that the chicken is killed, these days, he lives in the old house of the Wu family, Wu's second sister-in-law does not like their family, naturally they are reluctant to feed their family with good food, all meals are wrapped in grain porridge, wrapped in grain cakes, he has long felt that the stomach worms have rebelled, if you can steal a fat chicken to pad the stomach, it is also a good thing.

He shrunk his neck, endured the cold wind, waited for an hour, and sure enough, he saw Zhao Niangzi carrying a big fat chicken and putting it in the clay jar, so happy that he almost jumped up, looked left and right to see that there was no one, so he trotted home and told his father and younger brother.

There is a way that the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, Wu Laosan is not a clean hand and foot on weekdays, I heard that the eldest child reported this good news, where to sit still, I discussed the evening, one person took the wind, and one person went in to steal chickens.

Wu San's sister-in-law disagreed, and stopped, "There was already such a festival before, and you still have to steal other people's food, what if you are caught?" ”

Wu Laosan pouted, "Don't look at that poor gentleman who pretends to be tall on weekdays, but he is just a mouse guts, he was so angry that he vomited blood the day before yesterday, didn't he dare to sue?" Today is to borrow a chicken to eat, even if he is caught in front of the clan elder, at most he will be scolded a few words. ”

After speaking, the father and son gathered on the kang, anxiously waiting for the night to come, and finally stayed up until the middle of the day, Wu Laosan and Dazhu went out, the two touched the front of the Zhao family's courtyard, found a stone to cushion, Dazhu climbed over the courtyard wall, it was very easy to find the fat chicken in the clay jar, he greedily walked around for a long time, did not find other food, secretly scolded a "poor ghost", and turned out the same way.

The father and son trotted home, gathered under the lamp, sniffed the frozen fat chicken, faintly seemed to have some aroma, and Dazhu said, "I'm afraid this chicken is still cooked." ”

Wu Laosan remembered the delicious dumpling fillings from the hands of Zhao Niangzi, this fat chicken must also be delicious, so he urged Wu Sansan to make a fire and steam the chicken again.
