Uncle Xing snorted coldly, ignored Chun Tao, took a puff of dry tobacco and said, "Of course, although my old man is old, this craft is not old, what is this called?" ”

"Grow old and get stronger." Zhou Kuiruo answered at the right time.

"O scholar! It's smart, and I'll understand it as soon as I say it. "Uncle Xing has a very good attitude towards Zhou Kuiruo, not as annoying as Chun Tao.

Such a good attitude towards him, such a bad attitude towards me. Chun Tao carried the jar by herself, passed the two of them, walked to the donkey cart, and put the jar on it.

"Let's take our leave." Zhou Kuiruo respectfully bowed to Uncle Xing before picking up the altar and walking out.

"What a good boy!" Uncle Xing smoked a dry cigarette and was very satisfied when he looked at Zhou Kuiruo's departing back.

When Zhou Kuiruo and Chun Tao returned home, Aunt Zhou was standing outside the door and watching.

"Mother! We're back. Zhou Kuiruo knew that Aunt Zhou was worried, so before Aunt Zhou could shout, he shouted first.

"Why did you come back so late today?" As soon as the donkey cart stopped, Aunt Zhou stepped forward to help carry things.

Zhou Kuiruo hurriedly took the things in her hand and said, "There are some things delayed today, mother, you should go in first!" Let's just move. ”

"My mother helped me move, and I can go back to dinner early in March!" Aunt Zhou took another thing.

March listened to Aunt Zhou's words and couldn't help complaining. "It's still my aunt who loves me, Chun Tao knows how to squeeze me, and she doesn't feel sorry for me at all."

Chun Tao first removed all the things on the donkey cart and put them on the ground, saw Zhou Kuiruo and Aunt Zhou both entered, and said to March: "I don't feel sorry for you the most, so you should leave quickly!" ”

"Humph! Just go, don't bother to pay attention to you. Hurry up tomorrow, or I won't wait for you. March grimaced at Chun Tao and was about to leave in the donkey cart.

"Got it, you go back and slow down."

"Let's go!"

Aunt Zhou put her things away and came out to find that the donkey cart was missing. "March gone?"

"Hmmm! Get back... Eat... Dine. ”

"Also, it's so late. Let's hurry up and finish moving our things and go to dinner! Don't come back so late in the future. As he spoke, he moved another thing in, and Chun Tao responded and began to carry things.

When the three of them started eating, it was already dark. Chun Tao prepares the things she needs for tomorrow, washes up and enters the house.

"Today... I'm sorry. Thinking of what happened during the day, Chun Tao felt an inexplicable guilt for Zhou Kuiruo, and opened her mouth to break the silence in the room.

"What's the matter? It's not you who insult me. ”

"But... But... Be... It's because of me. ”

"I'm not doing this for you."

"That's... Why is that? You... Do you have today... Something strange. ”

Zhou Kuiruo was silent for a while before saying, "Thank you for yesterday." ”

Yesterday? What did I tell him to stay? "Yesterday it happened... What happened? "Something must have happened yesterday, otherwise how could he have become so weird.

"What happened yesterday, you don't need to know, you just need to know, I need silver."

After Chun Tao and the others left yesterday, Zhou Kuiruo accompanied Zhou Damiang in the house, and Zhou Damiang embroidered, and he read books. Later, the two chatted for a while, and Zhou Kuiruo realized that Aunt Zhou's health was not only worse than before, but also revealed that her life was short. Zhou Kuiruo was very frightened.

The reason why he didn't tell Chun Tao was not that he didn't trust Chun Tao, but he saw that his mother had the idea of leaving, but he didn't want to admit it, to put it bluntly, he was deceiving himself.

Oh! Chun Tao is not a boring person, if Zhou Kui doesn't say it, she won't ask again, lay out the quilt, and get ready to sleep.

Zhou Kuiruo also stopped reading, went to bed, and asked her to turn off the lights.

Chun Tao turned off the lights and closed his eyes, and gradually sleepiness came up. At this moment, Zhou Kuiruo suddenly spoke.

"My mother has been in poor health recently, and I'm worried about her. She was depressed in her early years, and later she got better, but she seems to be a little weak in spirit these days. Zhou Kuiruo struggled for a long time, but still wanted to find someone to talk to.

If you are depressed in your heart, you will have a heart disease. If this disease is cured, it is not a matter of one or two days, and the amount of money required is countless, no wonder Zhou Kuiruo is willing to do that kind of thing that damages the dignity of the reader, and he is willing to continue even if he is insulted.

"I'll try to make money." This is a promise to Zhou Kuiruo, and it is also a reward for his heart-to-heart relationship with himself.

"Don't you stutter when you're not nervous?" Listening to Chun Tao's cold tone, Zhou Kuiruo's heart suddenly calmed down after being irritable for a long time.

Chun Tao was thinking about Aunt Zhou, and was suddenly disturbed by Zhou Kuiruo, and was stunned. "Huh?"

"Why are you suddenly facing me and not nervous?"

"You're willing to tell me about this, maybe not as a wife, but at least as a friend, right?"

Zhou Kuiruo didn't speak, and Chun Tao said again: "I'm not a person who doesn't know what to do, you are very good to me, although you dislike my appearance, you are still willing to marry me." When we get along, although you get angry easily, and I will ask you to do something you don't like, you have never used your husband's rights to pressure me. Compared to my so-called relatives, you have been very good to me. ”

I'm angry easily, not by you. Zhou Kuiruo swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, so as not to destroy this rare harmony. "Don't think about the past, now you're from the Zhou family, aren't you?"

"Yes, they don't have anything to do with me anymore, they just said it casually."

Chun Tao said that it was true casually, but Zhou Kuiruo felt that it was a sign that she was covering up her pain. So the subject changed. "But my mother is also good to you, and you have been with her longer than me, why can't you let go in front of her?"

"It's nothing, it's just not used to it!" Although Chun Tao let go of some in front of Zhou Kuiruo, it has not yet reached the point of heart-to-heart.

Presumably she has something unspeakable! "Go to bed early!" Chun Tao didn't say anything, and Zhou Kuiruo didn't force her, and ended the bedtime conversation on the grounds of sleeping.

On the second day, Zhou Kuiruo got up again and prepared to help Chun Tao.

"You better don't help me, you can rest well!" Chun Tao was worried about being seen by Aunt Zhou and wanted Zhou Kuruo to go out.

"I'll help you, and you can hurry." Zhou Kuiruo naturally didn't know what Chun Tao was thinking, so he still went his own way and did everything he had to do.

Chun Tao had no choice but to go with him, and after the two of them finished cooking the food they needed to sell, it was still early, so they made breakfast again.

Chun Tao scooped some flour, added two eggs, some chopped green onions and water, stirred into a batter, and prepared to cook green onion cakes.

The pheasant was raised well by Mrs. Zhou according to the method of March Niang, and the eggs in the family are now laid by the pheasant. I think it knows that it can survive because it can lay eggs, so every time it lays eggs, it will "cluck!" The screams kept on and on, loud and loud.

Chun Tao is pancake here, and the stove on the other side is not idle, and he is boiling porridge.

When Aunt Zhou came out, Zhou Kuiruo was bringing the cold and warm porridge to the table. "Why is it so fast today?"

At this time on weekdays, Chun Tao is still preparing food, and there is no time to prepare breakfast.

"The stall has just started, and it's not the time to rush to the market, so there are not many people who come to buy, so I prepare less, and it will naturally be faster."

"I see, my mother will wash her face and eat it." Aunt Zhou had a brief conversation with Zhou Kuiruo and went to wash.

After breakfast and a short rest, March came in a donkey cart.

Chun Tao and Zhou Kuiruo set off after loading their things on the donkey cart, and on the way, Chun Tao took the initiative to chat with March. "In March, you've been borrowing people's donkey carts, don't they need to use them?"

"It's okay, they have horses at home, so they don't need this donkey for the time being."

"It's not good to borrow it all the time! Let you owe favors in vain. ”

"Oops! It's okay, my dad has a good relationship with their family, so he won't care about that. ”

"Where does this donkey belong to? I don't remember a family in the village that had a horse and a donkey. "Chun Tao is generally not curious, but this family has such a good relationship with the March family, and he has not seen it yet, so it is inevitable that it is a little strange.

"It's not from our village, their family is in Yuyang County, they are in the fur business, and the animal fur that my father hunted is sold to their family, so the relationship is good."

I see, no wonder I've never seen it.

Knowing the reason, Chun Tao's heart is much more balanced, but she still looks forward to buying her own donkey as soon as possible without borrowing it, after all, Chun Tao doesn't like to owe favors. Of course, spring peaches and plums are excepted.
