"Sister Chuntao, can you give me a copy of the book you gave to the fourth sister! I want it too. Layue pulled Chun Tao into the house and immediately tied the door.

You might as well tell me a secret! It's too difficult to give a book. "Don't you have a book? Your four sisters don't have any books, so I transcribed them to them. ”

"But... But my books are not good-looking, not as good as the books of the fourth sisters. ”

"Then you can trade with them."

But they don't want to! Sister Chuntao, you can transcribe a copy for me! I'm just going to do the same. ”

It's the same to be difficult! Looking at the pleading Layue, Chun Tao was a little shaken, but when she thought of such a tedious task, she immediately refused firmly. "No, I... I only transcribe for the students I teach. ”

Chun Tao was afraid that Layue would continue to stalk, "I'll go find your second sister." With that, he snatched the door and walked out.

As soon as Chun Tao entered the door, March handed over a glass of water to offer courtesy. "What did that kid tell you?"

"Nope." Since Layue told her this in private, it shows that he doesn't want others to know. "By the way, I heard that Lamei and the village chief's son are going to prepare for the levy?"

"Hmmm! It was probably some time after my birthday. You said that you two got married so early, and you didn't wait for me. ”

As soon as March said this, Chun Tao noticed that she was now at the age of saying that she was married, and she had never heard anyone in March's family mention it. "It's time for you to say kiss, right? Why didn't you see any movement? ”

Chun Tao and Lamei haven't seen each other much, but they see each other every day with March, and it's impossible for her to not know about such a big movement, unless...

"Because there's no such thing!"

And so it was.

"Actually! I've got my eye on one. As soon as March said this, Chun Tao, who was drinking water, choked directly and coughed.

Although March is usually very aggressive, Chun Tao has always felt that she is deeply influenced by traditional concepts, and her attitude towards marriage must be to obey her parents' arrangements, but she didn't expect to have such an idea.

Chun Tao patted herself and stared at March, waiting until she stopped coughing before she said, "Who do you have a crush on?" ”

"Orion from the next village, big cow." The person she said in March, Chun Tao had heard her say it once or twice, and he was a good hunter.

Chun Tao's distraction did not affect March's interest in talking about her "sweetheart", "Let me tell you, his kung fu is better than my father's, and the tendons and flesh on this body!" More than my dad. It's just a temper, not as good as my father. ”

March criticized the perfect husband in his heart, and said, "However, it is a good match for me." The two of us have known each other since childhood, and in Lamei's words, this is called... It's called..."

"Childhood sweetheart."

"That's right! Although the two of us have never eaten plums or ridden horses together, this is what it means. You get the idea, right? ”

Faced with the inquiry of her good sister, Chun Tao could only pull the corners of her mouth in embarrassment, and at the same time was glad that September and October were not here. "Is that what he thinks too?"

"That's for sure! In this radius of dozens of miles, where can he find someone more worthy of him than me! After the two of us got married, the prey in the mountains had no way to live. ”

How do I sound like wishful thinking? "Then you have... Then why didn't he tell your dad about it! ”

"I don't understand this, do you think I should ask!"

For emotional things, Chun Tao really can't give an idea, because she doesn't understand. "I don't know, you ask Lamei! She'll definitely give you a good idea. ”

"Hmmm! Although you are now learning smarter with Brother Zhou, it is still easy to be stupid, and you will be stupid when you give me ideas, so what should I do! ”

Regarding the word "stupid", Chun Tao has also been absent for a long time, and pouted silently and did not argue.

"Talked?" On the way back, Chun Tao inquired about the situation.

"Hmmm! It's all negotiated, and the silver has been given to Brother June. Chun Tao's focus was suddenly attracted by Zhou Kuiruo's "Brother June".

"You call him brother?"

"What do I call my brother if I don't call me?"

"He's younger than you."

"He's your brother, so naturally I'll call him brother." Hearing this, Chun Tao stood in place, staring at Zhou Kuiruo's back with a very complicated look.

Zhou Kuiruo felt Chun Tao's gaze, stopped, and turned to look at her. The two of them stood quietly on the country road, staring at each other as if no one was around.

Aunt Zhou was walking alone in front, and she didn't hear the footsteps of the two, so she stopped and looked back.

"Kui'er, Chun Tao!" Although Mrs. Zhou hopes that the two will have a good relationship, Mrs. Zhou also does not want to see this kind of unseemly behavior. "I'm home."

Hearing Aunt Zhou's voice, Chun Tao immediately came back to her senses and passed over Zhou Kuiruo to follow Aunt Zhou.

"Heh~" Zhou Kuiruo sneered sadly at Chun Tao's behavior of avoiding snakes and scorpions, shook his head and followed the two home.

"By the way, the second batch of dinner plates should be ready tomorrow, have you prepared the money?" Before going to bed, Zhou Kuiruo suddenly remembered this.

"Ready." Chun Tao basically doesn't remember, and often needs to be reminded by Zhou Kuiruo. "The custom-made jar is almost ready, right?"

"Yes! The deposit was not paid much at that time, and I am afraid that we will not be able to get the balance for a while. ”

Chun Tao nodded approvingly, and heard Zhou Kuiruo say: "But the time to take the jar can't be delayed any longer, the cowpeas you use are all fresh and tender, and the vegetable farmers will keep the seeds in a while, and they won't pick them anymore." ”

Seed so quickly? I'd better ask tomorrow! Chun Tao was skeptical of what Zhou Kuiruo said. "Then I'll ask Brother Wang tomorrow to see what's next."

"Hmm!"

"Big sister, today's dishes are okay!"

Although Lao Wang has been delivering dishes for a while, he will still check them carefully every time he peach. "Hmmm! I... There's something... I want to ask. ”

"Just ask!" Lao Wang picked the dishes that Chun Tao had inspected and brought them to the stove room.

"Cowpea... When... Not tender anymore? ”

Lao Wang replied to Chun Tao while vacating the vegetables in his burden. "What a cowpea! Those who pick the young pods are sown in the spring and summer, and those who are left are sown in the summer and autumn. I know you want a lot of money, and I planted some more the other day. ”

"When the time comes... Can you... Help find... Farmers... Harvest cowpeas? ”

"Okay! Just tell me when the time comes. ”

"Thank you!"

"It's fine. Okay, if it's okay, I'll go first! ”

Forgot to ask what to expect in the fall. After Lao Wang left the Zhou family, Chun Tao remembered this.

Forget it, ask again tomorrow!

Chun Tao entered the stove room, opened the lid of the pot, and stirred the white porridge in the pot with a long spoon. Then take out a section of lotus root, wash it, cut it into shreds, chop it, blanch it with hot water and put it in a large bowl.

In order to replenish the body, Chun Tao took out a small piece of meat, cut it into diced meat, put it together with the lotus root, and then added eggs, chopped green onions, salt, and flour. After stirring well, flatten it in your hands to form a round cake.

"Is this going for pancakes?" Aunt Zhou washed up and went into the stove room. "Mother help you!"

Chun Tao didn't have time to refuse, so Aunt Zhou got started. "Good!"

So, one old and one young, they were frying lotus root cakes at the door of the stove room, one was shaped and the other was fried.

After making lotus root cakes, Chun Tao picked a little bracken in the small vegetable field in the yard, blanched it, and poured onion oil on it.
