Chapter Ninety-Seven: Big Family

Before Chun Tao could speak, Lamei spoke to herself. "I'm fine, it's just that the wedding date has suddenly changed, and it's hard to accept it for a while."

"Anyway, you all have a marriage contract, so it's okay to have a happy event later."

"I'm sixteen, and I don't know when I'll have to wait. My mother nagged in my ear every day, and my sister-in-law. Lamei rubbed her glass, and her mood continued to be low.

It seems that she figured it out on her own, but the family has been urging, and she is in a dilemma between the family and her fiancΓ©. "Will you wait for him?"

"Of course, I... I've known my third brother for so long. Speaking of Zhao Boting, Lamei's mood improved, and a gentle smile returned to her face.

"Then you can wait in peace and don't think about it. Sixteen isn't too big, really. ”

"The family has been urging, just to force the third brother to hurry up and get the money and marry me. But I... I don't want to push him. ”

This kind of thing is purely a short matter in the family, and Chun Tao doesn't know how to comfort her. "Why don't you finish your meal here and go back! It's not getting early, and you won't be able to get back in time to eat. ”

"Okay! Can we take a look at this place? March regained her mood and curiosity ran out.

"Then I'll let the prime minister take you around! I went to the stove room to help prepare dinner. ”

Lamei grabbed Chun Tao. "No, let's go and help. After eating, you can take us around again! ”

was careless for a while, forgetting the truth that men and women do not kiss. "Good! Let's go! ”

"I'll do it! You go and rest. Chun Tao entered the stove room and took the things in Zhou Kuiruo's hand and pushed him out.

Zhou Kuiruo smiled, put down his things and went out. When Lamei and March saw him go out, they also rolled up their sleeves and prepared to help.

"Quick, quick, quick! Putting it down, why did you stay here to eat, why did you still help? Get out. Before the two of them could get their hands on their things, they were pushed to the door of the stove room by Aunt Zhou.

March stopped the car and stood at the door, Aunt Zhou riveted and couldn't push it.

"Auntie, let us help! It's quicker that way, or we'll be going back late. "It was Lamei who spoke.

"That's not going to work, you're guests." Aunt Zhou still disagreed.

March stood at the door, dodging Aunt Zhou's push. "Anyway, if you can't push me, then we'll freeze here and won't eat tonight."

"You... You kid. "Aunt Zhou couldn't help it, so she could only agree." Then you can help wash the vegetables, but don't get tired. ”

He turned his head to Chun Tao, who was cutting meat, and said, "Chun Tao, you are tired, do more." ”

"It's fine." Chun Tao smiled and continued to cut.

Lamei and March stayed in the stove room as they wished, and when Chun Tao washed the kitchen knife, the two came up, and Lamei asked. "Your relationship with your eldest mother seems to be much better?"

"Hmm!" After speaking, Chun Tao left in style. Lamei and March looked at each other and smiled, happy for Chun Tao, and the haze in their hearts was dispelled a lot.

Zhou Kuiruo bought meat, and knew that Chun Tao liked spicy food, so he bought chili peppers. Chun Tao cut the chili pepper into oblique slices and stir-fried the meat.

After the oil is hot, put garlic slices and ginger shreds, add some vinegar to the chili peppers after they are cooked, put the chili peppers until they are soft, put the oil in the pot and heat them, and put the meat slices into the frying.

Then add the chili pepper back in, add soy sauce and salt and stir-fry for a while, then add a small bowl of water and stir-fry, and remove from the pot.

"Can I taste it?" March helped light the fire for a while, and when she smelled the fragrance, she came over.

Chun Tao picked up a slice of meat and handed it to March's mouth, "It's a little spicy." ”

"Then you can't help but ... No chili peppers! "March was eating and complaining." But it's delicious. March exhaled and went to find water to drink.

Chun Tao shook her head and concentrated on putting the dishes on the plate. "My mother is making braised pork."

"I love to eat, thank you, auntie." In March, he went to Aunt Zhou's to help make a fire.

Lamei has set up another stove on the other side and is stir-frying vegetarian dishes. "Your family is bigger, and you even have more stoves, and the guests at home are cooking faster."

The current stove room is larger than the previous two rooms of the Zhou family. There are three or four stoves, as well as pots for boiling medicine and small stoves for cooking porridge. It's really a big family, but it doesn't have any family background, and it has an empty shell.

Two meat dishes, two vegetarian dishes, the rice is not much to prepare, and it is too late to cook again, so the spring peach is baked again.

Five people and five dishes, not bad. "Whatever you do, you eat whatever you want." Aunt Zhou greeted Lamei and March.

It's been a long time since I've eaten meat! Recently, Chun Tao has been staying at home, and Zhou Kuiruo does not have much money to sell calligraphy and painting and copy books alone. Chun Tao glanced at Aunt Zhou and did not speak.

After dinner, Aunt Zhou didn't let Chun Tao wash the dishes and kicked them out. Chun Tao carried the lantern and took Lamei and March to the backyard for a stroll.

"Wow! The front yard alone is big enough, but I didn't expect this backyard to be bigger! "March could see the buildings in the backyard by the moonlight and the lights.

March suddenly pointed to one place and asked, "Is that a pavilion?" ”

"Yes! There was a pond down there, but the water was dry. "Chun Tao has been to the backyard a few times, and even if she can't see clearly, you can know the general building by pointing to the direction.

"This backyard is so beautiful, why don't you live in the backyard? Moreover, in general, in large households, don't all the master's family live in the upper room, and the servants live in the front yard? March saw the backyard clearly and sighed more and more.

"There are three of us, and the backyard is so far from the gate, if someone knocks on the door, we don't know."

"Yes! There are only three of you living in it, wouldn't it be safe to have such a big yard? Lamei looked at it, a little worried.

Chun Tao was woken up by Lamei's words, "If you don't say it, I didn't even think of it." ”

"As soon as you say it, I don't feel safe. It's far from the village, so if anything happens, it's too late! ”

"It shouldn't be fine."

Lamei disagreed with Chun Tao's words, "I think you should still have a snack, pay attention." ”

"That's right, with Brother Zhou's body, if there is danger, it is estimated that there will be no way to protect you." March shouted, her voice was not small, Chun Tao glared at her, but it was too dark, March didn't see it, and finished talking by herself.

"You keep quiet, aren't you afraid that Brother Zhou will hear it?" Lamei pulled March.

"It's okay, this backyard is far away!"

Chun Tao glanced at March lightly, "But you have a loud voice!" ”

"Humph! Anyway, I'm telling the truth, and I'm not afraid that Brother Zhou will hear it. ”

"It's too late, I'll send you away!"

"Don't be, Lu Yuan, you're not well, rest!" Lamei rejected Chun Tao's kindness.

March also said, "Yes! I'm with you! You can rest assured! I'm much more useful than you. ”

Chun Tao smiled and shook her head, unable to refute their big truth. "Alright, let's go! I'll send you to the door. ”

"Slow down on the road." Handing the lantern to March, Chun Tao was still a little uneasy. "Watch your step, you take care of some plums."

"Got it, rambling, gone." took the lantern, led Lamei, and left without looking back in March.

Chun Tao sent the two away, took their clothes, and went into the shower room. "Hot water?" Needless to say, this must have been prepared by Zhou Kuiruo.

In recent days, Zhou Kuiruo has been a little more enthusiastic than before, but it is still within the scope of Chun Tao's acceptance, or it may be that she has opened her heart and is not so careful.

After taking a hot shower and going to the room, Chun Tao pushed the door back to the room, ready to read a book for a while.

"Washed?" As soon as Chun Tao entered the door, Zhou Kuiruo's voice sounded, Chun Tao nodded and walked to the desk and picked up the book.

Looking at it, Zhou Kuiruo suddenly said without a beginning or an end. "I hear you."

"What?"

"March said."

Chun Tao lowered her head and held back a wicked smile, and immediately returned to her cold appearance when she looked up. "Hmm!"

"Wait, I'll impress you."

What does it have to do with me? I didn't say it. Chun Tao put down the book and left. "Sleep."
