Back at home, parked the ox cart, Chuncao directly asked Lu Ziqi to move the cloth to his mother's house, Chuncao Niang looked at so many cloths, and felt that Chuncao was really a loser, "Why do you buy so much?" ”

"New clothes for the New Year, one set per person, mother, you can do it. By the way, let's make a set for the big girl. "Anyway, Chuncao can't make clothes herself, so she can only hand it over to her mother.

"It's good to buy it for yourselves, why don't you buy it for us?"

"What do you ours have? We are family. Chuncao said as she walked out of her mother's door.

"How expensive this fine silk cotton should be." Chuncao Niang's mouth is still chattering.

White silk cloth, Chuncao took it back to the bedroom by herself.

After dinner and went back to the room, Chuncao gave the silk cloth to Lu Ziqi, "You are very skilled in sewing and mending, make two sets of mattresses and pants." ”

"I won't crop."

Chuncao tilted her head and looked at Lu Ziqi, "Then who made the clothes on your body?" ”

"A tailor did it, of course."

"There's a tailor in town?"

Lu Ziqi glanced at Chuncao, "I'll try to do it." "My daughter-in-law is starting to be stupid again, and of course there are tailors in the town.

"I'll give it to my mother." Chuncao picked up the cloth and went out.

After coming back, I saw Lu Ziqi sitting on the kang and reading by the light of the oil lamp on the table next to him.

When it was still early, Chuncao couldn't sleep, so he climbed on the kang, crooked beside Lu Ziqi, and followed Lu Ziqi to read, which was a miscellaneous book written about the customs and customs of various places.

After reading for a while, Chuncao began to feel sleepy, his eyes blinked, Lu Ziqi still wanted to talk to Chuncao, so he put down the book, blew the oil lamp, and lay down with Chuncao in his arms.

Chuncao thought that Lu Ziqi was going to sleep, and she was also sleepy, so she lay quietly in Lu Ziqi's arms and closed her eyes.

"Daughter-in-law."

"Huh?"

"Let's ask someone to show Uncle Fang the store."

"I said that I would show Uncle Fang the store, how could I go back on my word, besides, the eldest girl is very willful, and she won't agree."

"The new house at home still needs to be decorated, how can you do it if you are not there?"

"I'll just come back during the day on the two days of moving, and you will pick me up when the time comes."

"Then you have to go home at night, and I will drive you to the ox cart sooner or later."

"You want to exhaust me, run like this every day, and besides, the big girl is home alone." Chuncao rolled out of Lu Ziqi's arms dissatisfied.

"Okay, if you don't go back, you won't go back." Big deal, I'm over. Lu Ziqi did not say the last sentence.

"Go to bed early, we're going to town early tomorrow morning." Lu Ziqi scooped the spring grass into his arms again and slept with his eyes closed.

Early the next morning, the sky was bright, Chuncao packed some clothes, said goodbye to the family, and the two set off, first went to Fang's father's house, met with Fang's father, and then got on the ox cart and rushed to the town together.

Father Fang and another guy who was going to Beijing together were already waiting at home.

This guy is tall and big, and he can't tell his age with a beard, this is with Uncle Fang, looking at this guy's figure, ordinary people are really not easy to provoke, Uncle Fang is really good at finding a partner.

Uncle Fang introduced to everyone, this guy's name is Li Youliang, Li Youliang greeted everyone with a smile, shocked Chuncao's jaw, looking at this Li Youliang with a silly smile, he slandered in his heart, this is really unseemly.

After having breakfast in a hurry, the group set off, it would take a day to go to Fengcheng, Lu Ziqi and Father Fang were going to stay in Fengcheng for one night, and they would come back tomorrow.

The spring grass girl has been sending people to the entrance of the town, and she can't see the back before going back, the big girl is a little lost, and she lowers her head and walks back without speaking.

Chuncao patted the head of the big girl who was about the same height as herself, and said comfortingly, "It's gone in the blink of an eye, Uncle Fang will be back, you don't have to worry." ”

The eldest girl raised her head and glanced at Chuncao, "You're not much older than me, don't pat me on the head." If you have something to do, you can go and do your job, you don't have to accompany me to see the store. ”

"Then you want me to accompany you to see the store?" Haruka didn't understand.

"I don't like my aunt and cousin, because our family is richer than theirs, and we flatter me on the surface, and I am scolded behind my back. In the past, as soon as my father was not there, several people would come over to fight the autumn wind twice in three days, and they were disgusted to death. ”

"So I'm your excuse for refusing to allow your uncle to come."

The eldest girl glanced at Chuncao, with an expression that you knew it was good, and continued to walk back.

Chuncao's expression was like swallowing a frog, and she slowly walked back behind the big girl.

Back in the store, the eldest girl seemed to love to knock melon seeds, sitting at the counter, cross-legged, and knocking melon seeds by herself.

Chuncao sat inside, bored looking at the big girl, this posture, there is no one here, whose big girl is not well-behaved and quiet, I am afraid that a bad reputation will not find a good mother-in-law.

It's almost the Chinese New Year, and occasionally one or two customers come to the store to buy something. The rest of the time, there is only the sound of the big girl knocking melon seeds. Chuncao dozed off on the side.

After lunch, Chuncao was bored and couldn't stand it, so she went to the cloth shop to buy a piece of white silk cloth, and she wanted to make a set of underwear and underwear. I asked for needlework and scissors, and then I went to the kitchen to find a blackened stick and started tinkering.

The posture at the beginning is still the same, and it is a model and a cut. After tossing for more than half an hour, looking at the two triangles sewn together in his hand, Chuncao was a little depressed and threw it in the needlework dustpan.

The eldest girl happened to see Chuncao throwing a rag in the dustpan with a angry face, and came over curiously, picked up the messy piece of cloth that was sewn, and twitched the corner of her eye, "What are you sewing here?" ”

"Pants." Chuncao habitually pursed her mouth dissatisfiedly and replied.

"Poof, hahahaha......", the eldest girl stopped laughing for a long time, and added, "This cloth has been wasted by you, it's really a loser, hahaha......"

Chuncao was very unhappy, "What are you laughing at, do you know how to sew yourself?" Also make fun of others. ”

"Of course."

Chuncao had nothing to say, looking at the big girl looking like a hanger, she thought she didn't know anything.

The eldest girl continued to sit back and continue to knock her melon seeds, and Chuncao gave up the needle and thread and began to be bored in a daze.

Suddenly, I thought of fighting the landlord, "Big girl, teach you a fun thing." ”

"What's all the fun?" The eldest girl asked curiously.

The eldest girl has been wild since she was a child, and when she was a child, she mingled with a group of boys, and girls of the same age thought that she was wild and didn't associate with her, and she was older, but in ancient times, there was a difference between men and women, and over time there were no friends, and her temperament became cold to everyone.

"You go find some brown paper, find more." Chuncao commanded.

The eldest girl thought, it's boring to be idle anyway, for the sake of her "craftsmanship" to make herself laugh, just see what she wants to toss.

Find a pile of kraft paper, fold the spring grass, cut it into squares with scissors, and then ask the big girl to give her paper and pen, and start to draw black and red plum squares on it, and then fill in Arabic numerals.

"What are you writing about?" The eldest girl asked curiously.

"Do you know how to count?"

"My father taught me to read and settle accounts since I was a child, but I don't know what you are writing."

"Just know the numbers, I'll teach you in a while, you can help me draw these symbols, and this stack will be painted with this symbol."

The eldest girl was curious about what these twists and turns were, so she really helped Chuncao draw these symbols.

After all the drawings were finished, Chuncao began to teach the big girl to recognize these Arabic numerals, and the big girl was curious about where Chuncao learned it at first, and Chuncao said that she had figured it out.

In the afternoon, the two studied the stack of cards and played until it was dark, when they lit the oil lamp, closed the door, and made dinner.

Because of the relationship between the cards, the relationship between the two has been pulled in a lot, and the big girl is not with a cold expression.

Chuncao also found that it was still very easy to get along with the big girl after getting acquainted with her.

After the two had dinner, they went into the house to rest, Uncle Fang had prepared a guest room for Chuncao before leaving, but in an unfamiliar environment, without Lu Ziqi, he always lacked a sense of security, Chuncao just couldn't sleep, lit the oil lamp, and went directly to the room of the big girl next door.

"Let's sleep together." Chuncao closed the door and climbed directly into the big girl's bed.

"It's really useless, such a big person is still afraid." The big girl moved inside, unceremoniously despising the spring grass.

"I'm not afraid, I'm not used to being here just now, okay?" Chuncao argued. "I don't know how they were, if they arrived." Haruka continued to speak with some concern.

"It's going to be fine, my dad often goes out to run business, and it's been a few months, and it's all fine." The eldest girl spoke, and her tone seemed to be disappointed.

Chuncao sighed silently in her heart, and actually asked the eldest girl to comfort herself. The room fell silent, and both of them drifted off to sleep.

The next day, the two have been holding homemade cards to pass the time, the landlord is bored, Chuncao will teach the big girl other ways to play, take the brush, win on the other party's face to draw a stroke, the big girl just learned, always Chuncao wins, but the spring grass is too mildew, even if the technology is good will lose, both of them are painted on the face of the big cat, but it is a lot of fun.

This time passed quite quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was afternoon, and Chuncao glanced at the door from time to time, Lu Ziqi came back today, and he didn't know when he would arrive.

Absent-minded, always losing, the more the face is drawn. The eldest girl felt that Chuncao was absent-minded, and felt bored, so she said to make dinner and let Chuncao look at the store outside.

Chuncao directly moved a stool, sat at the door, and looked at the south side of the street.

After dinner, Chuncao also pulled the big girl to play cards for a while, she wanted to wait for Lu Ziqi to come back, waited for a while, the big girl was really sleepy, and when she saw that she hadn't come back, she comforted Chuncao: "There may be something delayed, I didn't come back, I will definitely come back tomorrow, let's sleep first." ”

Chuncao let the eldest girl go to sleep first, he was still sitting at the counter and waiting, he was dozing off, and vaguely heard a knock on the side door of the yard, Chuncao hurriedly got up, walked through the back door of the store to the yard, saw a fire outside the side door, or called out on the spot, "Who is it?" ”

"It's me." Lu Ziqi's voice came from outside.

Hearing the voice of a nerd, Chuncao finally put her mind at ease, hurriedly got up, and went to open the door, Lu Ziqi stood outside the door, with a torch and an ox cart behind him. Chuncao stepped out of the way and asked Lu Ziqi to lead the ox cart in.

"Is Brother Lu back?" There was a big girl's voice in the room inside.

"Yes, you sleep." Chuncao replied, and then the big girl was silent, because she continued to sleep.

"Where's Daddy Fang?" Seeing Lu Ziqi alone, Chuncao asked curiously.

"Daddy Fang is going back, and when he comes back, he will pass through the snow village." Lu Ziqi replied. Chuncao has never been far away, and he really doesn't know where he passed by, so he explained to Chuncao.

"Have you eaten, I'm going to give you a hot one if you haven't eaten?" Chuncao took the oil lamp and followed behind Lu Ziqi, watching Lu Ziqi lead the ox cart to the backyard.

"Don't be busy, I've eaten dry food on the way."

"Then I'll get you some hot water and scald your feet." Haruka took the oil lamp and went to the kitchen.

The hot water in the kitchen pot was boiled by Chuncao after dinner, the fire in the stove had not faded, and the water was always warm.
