Chapter 17: Sleeping in Separate Beds

After sending off the only table of guests, Chun Tao insisted on washing all the dishes and chopsticks alone, and then went to Aunt Zhou's house with hot water to help her wash her feet.

"You've been busy all day, hurry up and go back and rest!" Aunt Zhou looked at the busy Chun Tao, worried that her small body would be exhausted. What's more, tonight is a candle night in their cave room!

"It's okay, I... I'm done pouring water... Only... Just rest. Chun Tao doesn't care who she marries with, but as soon as she met, she asked her to do that kind of thing with a stranger, she really couldn't accept it!

Aunt Zhou quickly washed her feet and was about to drive Chun Tao away. "I'm done, you can go back quickly!"

Chun Tao didn't want to go back so soon, how could she listen to Aunt Zhou! "Multi-bubble... Right... To the body... Good. Chun Tao forced Aunt Zhou's feet back into the footbasin.

After pouring the water for washing Aunt Zhou's feet, Chun Tao changed the basin of water and soaked her feet in the stove room by herself, and soaked until the water was cold, and Chun Tao slowly pushed open the door of Zhou Kuiruo's house. Oh! No, it's the door to their new house.

"I'm back." The lights in the house were about to go out, and Chun Tao thought that Zhou Kuiruo had already slept, but she didn't expect Zhou Kuiruo to sit on the bed and wait for her, which scared her.

"Hmm!" Although Zhou Kuiruo couldn't be seen, Chun Tao still subconsciously took half a step back and hit the door.

Zhou Kuiruo has been in the house for a long time, and he has long adapted to the darkness, and he can see Chun Tao's movements clearly by the moonlight. "Don't worry! I don't have much thought about you for the time being. You take care of my mother, don't cause trouble, and I will respect you. ”

"Good!" Chun Tao couldn't see Zhou Kuiruo's expression, nor could she hear joy.

"You sleep underground tonight."

"Okay." Chun Tao just came in, couldn't see the situation in the house, bent down and touched it, looking for the quilt that March Niang stuffed for her.

"Two steps forward." Chun Tao took two small steps according to what Zhou Kuiruo said, and sure enough, he touched it.

"Thank you!"

Chun Tao waited for a while and couldn't hear Zhou Kuiruo's movements, then carefully took off her coat and shoes and socks, and then gradually saw the situation in the house.

There were two quilts on the ground, one of which should be the old quilt that Zhou Kuiruo was worried about finding on the ground, and it was placed on the ground. The other bed was given to Chun Tao by March Niang.

Although you are not happy with me, you will not abuse me and criticize me. I hope that in the days to come, we can live in peace.

With the yearning for a better life in the future, Chun Tao slept very well this night.

No way! As soon as the chicken next door chirped, Chun Tao got up to prepare breakfast, and the moment he opened the rice tank, Chun Tao was completely dumbfounded. This wedding is simple enough, has the Zhou family still emptied their family funds?

Chun Tao did not give up and took out the rice jar and found that it was only a finger deep. "Bang~" Chun Tao closed the lid and searched for other things in the kitchen. After a circle, in addition to last night's leftovers, some meat stuffed to her by March Niang, there are also some peanuts, lotus seeds, red dates and some dried bracken.

The dried white fungus also brought before, the spring peach soaked the white fungus and added red dates, lotus seeds and rice to cook porridge, the ancient white fungus is naturally grown, unlike the current white fungus is ripe, just a little boiled, it is a little sticky. Draw out some firewood to make the fire smaller, then add cane sugar and simmer slowly.

While the porridge is boiling in the pot, the spring peach separates the leaves and stems of the bracken. Take out the leftover meat from yesterday, take a small piece and chop it, and then fry it with the bracken leaves, so that it is not too greasy.

"Chun Tao, why do you get up so early! Don't sleep much. "When Chun Tao was picking bracken leaves, Aunt Zhou pushed the door and came out.

"Sleep... It's been a long time. "In ancient times, I went to bed as soon as it was dark, and even if I got up when the rooster crowed, it took a long time to sleep." You first... Let's wash up first!. Chun Tao put down the bracken in her hand and walked to the well to make water for Aunt Zhou.

"You don't have to worry about me, I'll do this kind of thing by myself, there are not so many rules in our family." Aunt Zhou walked to the basin with a smile, although she was very happy, she didn't want Chun Tao to be so tired.

"Hmm!"

"You go and see if Quill is awake, I'll just come here." After washing, Aunt Zhou walked into the stove room again. "This, eating meat this morning?" Aunt Zhou looked at the minced meat on the board, and there was no smile on her face.

How do you explain this? Wouldn't it be more angry to say that it's only a little bit out of the way? Chun Tao bit her lip and looked at the meat to see Aunt Zhou. "I'm afraid... It's hot... Yes... will break. ”

"Indeed, the weather is too hot, even if you put it in the well, you won't be able to put it for long." After Mrs. Zhou washed the vegetables, she poured the minced meat into the pot, stir-fried the fragrance, and then poured in the bracken leaves and stir-fried. There is salt in the meat, so Aunt Zhou didn't put any more salt, after all, salt is a precious thing.

"Hmm!" Although Aunt Zhou didn't blame her, Chun Tao was still sensitive to the fact that Aunt Zhou might be a little mindful, so she answered and prepared to wake Zhou Kuiruo up.

"Drink water!" When Chun Tao walked out of the stove room, Zhou Kuiruo was already washing outside, turned around and went back to bring a bowl of water and handed it to Zhou Kuiruo.

"Thank you!" After washing, Zhou Kuiruo took the water from Chun Tao and drank it all, and then walked to the dining table in the courtyard.

Chun Tao took the bowl and chopsticks and set it up, and then brought out the porridge that had been chilled with well water and become warm, and Aunt Zhou also brought out the fried dishes. Zhou Kuiruo looked at the dish with a strange expression, but he didn't say anything.

Spring peach porridge was handed to Aunt Zhou and Zhou Kuiruo. After Aunt Zhou took a bite of porridge, she suddenly turned her head to look at Chun Tao: "Spring Tao, where did you get the snow fungus?" ”

Is snow fungus white fungus? Chun Tao picked up a piece of white fungus and asked, "This?" Aunt Zhou nodded, "On the mountain... Pick... Picked. What's wrong? ”

Aunt Zhou remembered the old days when she saw this snow ear, and Chun Tao only smiled and shook her head when she asked her: "It's just that this thing is expensive, and I was a little surprised to see it." Hurry up and eat it! Then he stopped talking.

When Chun Tao heard this, she moved the idea of selling snow fungus, but when she thought about it, she was not proficient in agriculture, and even the best pothos had been raised to death before.

After breakfast, Chun Tao and Aunt Zhou cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, while Zhou Kuiruo packed up his things and prepared to go to the county seat. Zhou Kuiruo sells paintings for a living, and also does some ghostwriting and copying books, although he does a lot of things, but his income is very low.

"Auntie, I... I want to go... County... Buy... Shopping. The dishes and chopsticks were almost finished, and Chun Tao said his thoughts.

"You're married to Kui'er, and you still haven't changed your words?" Chun Tao couldn't scream, and she didn't want to hurt Aunt Zhou's heart, so she didn't speak, and lowered her head and carefully wiped the stove that had been wiped again.

"Mother is joking with you, I'm not in a hurry. If you want to go into the city, come with Quil! Take care of each other. Without waiting for Chun Tao to agree, Aunt Zhou shouted into the house: "Kui'er, Chun Tao will also enter the city later, you take her with you, wait for her." ”

The courtyard of the Zhou family was very small, so although Aunt Zhou's voice was not loud, Zhou Kuiruo also heard it. "Okay." Zhou Kuiruo's deep voice came from the back room.

"It's nothing, you go and get ready, with Quill." Aunt Zhou gently pushed Chun Tao out of the stove room.

Oh, my God! Let me go into the city with Zhou Kuiruo? I'm nervous! What to do. Chun Tao took out his private money and secretly aimed at Zhou Kuiruo, he just turned around, the two looked at each other, and Chun Tao subconsciously avoided it.

"Let's go!" Zhou Kuiruo turned around and left, and Chun Tao immediately followed with the silver.

Zhou Kuiruo was about to open the door, but Chun Tao stopped him: "Wait! I... I'll take a... Carry a basket. He glanced around and didn't see what he was looking for, so he walked to the back room.

"Not at home." Chun Tao was stopped by Zhou Kuiruo.

So poor that you don't even have a basket? So how can I bring back what I bought? Chun Tao scratched her forehead, not knowing what to do.

"Let's go!" Zhou Kuiruo looked at Chun Tao standing there in a daze, and his tone was impatient. Chun Tao nodded and followed behind him. I'll pass by March's house and borrow one from her.

The Zhou family lives in the west of the village, far away from the entrance of the village, and the villagers of Zhaojia Village all pointed fingers at the two along the way. However, it seems that because of Zhou Kuiruo's identity as a reader, everyone lowered their voices very low.

One walked expressionlessly with his head bowed, the other was speechless and smiling, and everything around him had nothing to do with the two.
