The backyard of the Tang family.

Two girls with buns are squatting in the vegetable patch catching cabbage worms.

In fact, this hairstyle is not called a double bun, scientific name: cupola, is the meaning of children's lively and lovely, in the ancient Chinese medicine health care, children have several benefits, such as helping to grow yang hair, etc., the representative figure Nezha.

The girl holding two cabbage insects in her hand on the left is called Tang Xiaocao, and on the right is her sister Tang Xiaoqing, who was born more than a dozen times later.

The four daughters of the Tang family are very interesting, and the eldest daughter, Tang Lirong, expects her daughter to grow up slim and sweet.

The second daughter, Tang Wanqiu, whose name looks poetic, is actually because when she was born, it happened to be the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, and the name was late autumn, which was already a little perfunctory.

When it came to the twin sisters, it was directly Xiaocao and Xiaoqing, and they didn't even have a perfunctory idea.

Think about it, Tang Guanglong's three generations of single transmission, just pointing to the ability to give birth to a lineage with a handle, four daughters in a row, the mentality is estimated to have collapsed, where is there still leisure to name the two girls.

Poor Tang Xiaocao and Tang Xiaoqing, the two sisters still have fatherly love, and when it comes to the two of them, they are basically brought up by their mother and sister, and their father Tang Guanglong sighs every time he sees them.

Today, the two daughters have just turned four years old and have to afford a lot of housework.

For example: removing insects in the vegetable field early, sprinkling water and cleaning the yard, cleaning diapers for the newborn brother, etc., and it is clear that the two girls themselves are still at the age of wetting the bed......

"Third sister, look at me, I'm so fat!"

Tang Xiaoqing held a cabbage insect thicker than her fingers in her hand, and looked at her sister Xiaocao with a show-off tone.

Xiaocao glanced at it and continued to bury her head in catching insects, although the sisters were born on the same day, Tang Xiaocao's temperament was more calm and capable.

Seeing that her sister ignored herself, Xiaoqing pouted, looked at the cabbage worm in her hand, her throat unconsciously stirred, her red and tender little tongue licked the corner of her lower lip, and said thoughtfully: "Mantis can be eaten, this one is fatter......"

The mantis is the cicada, the name is different in various places, here is quoted from "Erya", "Xia Xiaozheng" said: the beetle, the scorpion, commonly known as the Hu Li, Jiangnan is called the scorpion "insect brother", Yinyi.

Tang Xiaocao, who was immersed in work, couldn't help frowning when she heard her sister's voice, and said, "Daddy said, mantis are pests, and pests can't be eaten indiscriminately. ”

Tang Xiaoqing heard that her stomach was troublesome, her little face turned white with fright, she was sick to her stomach because of indiscriminate eating last month, and her father spent a lot of money to buy medicine to be cured, and she was scolded by her father for a while.

What she was afraid of was not her stomachache, but the voice of her father Tang Guanglong's reprimand.

At this moment, behind the two girls, a voice suddenly sounded, "This insect can be eaten, and it is delicious." ”

Tang Xiaocao looked back, was stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed: "Sister said you ran away!" ”

Zhou Chu looked at Tang Xiaocao and said with a smile: "I didn't run away, I went back to report safety to my family, you saved me, no matter what, I have to come to the door to thank you, are the adults in the family here?" ”

Tang Xiaocao looked at her sister Xiaoqing, who was cowering and hiding behind her, and said boldly: "They all went to the field, and my father said that there was no rain this spring, and the seedlings would not work without water, so he took his mother and second sister to fetch water for watering." ”

Zhou Chu bowed slightly, looked at the cabbage worm that the two sisters were holding in their hands, and said with a smile: "There is nothing to do left and right, you catch a few more, I will cook you a few good dishes at noon, which can be regarded as a thank you for saving your family's life." ”

The two sisters looked at each other, and the younger sister Tang Xiaoqing suddenly ran to the side, pulled over a bamboo basket, and asked expectantly, "Big brother, are you enough to see this?" ”

Zhou Chu took a look, good guy, it is estimated that there are hundreds, which is enough.

"Enough, enough, you guys go wash your hands and take me to the kitchen, I brought a lot of good things, and if you don't deal with it, it won't be fresh."

The steady Tang Xiaocao was a little hesitant, although they only met yesterday, but in her opinion, Zhou Chu was a stranger after all.

It was Tang Xiaoqing, as soon as he heard that there was something delicious, he immediately carried a bamboo basket and ran towards the kitchen.

Zhou Chu saw Tang Xiaocao's hesitation, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have no bad intentions, I really came to repay the favor." ”

Tang Xiaocao is a child after all, facing the personable Zhou Chu......

Oh, today Zhou Chu is wearing a moon-white Confucian shirt, and he is wearing the most popular melon skin hat in the Ming Dynasty on his head, scientific name: Liuhe hat.

The hat is white, the clothes are white, and even the boots are white, and this set of clothes cost him more than a thousand, which is still the alumni price.

The clothes of ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty were mainly black and white, and if you wanted to be brighter, you could only wear some light-colored clothes, so the costumes of the people in the Ming Dynasty were mainly white cloth pants, blue cloth pants, and green cloth jackets.

Zhou Chu's body is not overstepping.

But in terms of style, directly crushing the contemporaries, Zhou Chu gave people the feeling that they were the children of everyone's aristocracy, with his naturally fair and delicate skin, and a proper stranger like jade.

Tang Xiaocao nodded obediently, "Then the eldest brother come with me, I'll pour a glass of water for the eldest brother, daddy and mother should be back soon." ”

Zhou Chu smiled, lifted the burden on the ground, and followed Tang Xiaocao to the courtyard of the Tang family.

Yesterday, I walked in a hurry and didn't pay much attention, and today I found out that the Tang family covers an area of about two acres of land, with three rows of houses, each with a small courtyard, the house structure is all wooden mortise and tenon, and the eaves and windows have carved beams and paintings.

The west wing of the middle courtyard, that is, the one where Zhou Chu lay yesterday, was the boudoir of the Tang family's daughter before, and now it is vacant as a guest room.

Tang Xiaocao brought Zhou Chu here again, and brought a bowl of water.

There were a few mint leaves floating in the water, and Tang Xiaocao said she also put a few grains of salt.

Listening to the tone of the little girl, this is already first-class hospitality, Zhou Chu took it with a smile and drank most of the bowl in one gulp.

At this time, the fourth sister Tang Xiaoqing weakly leaned on the window and reminded: "Big brother, the kitchen is in the east." ”

Zhou Chu looked up and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll go over now, you just wait to eat." ”

Tang Xiaoqing immediately raised her eyebrows, provoking her sister Tang Xiaocao to cross her eyebrows.

Zhou Chu didn't care, seeing that the two girls had yellow faces and thin muscles, they must be hungry, so they picked up the burden and spread it out directly on the table.

"Then, you can taste whether you like it or not, and if you like it, I'll bring you some next time."

Zhou Chu first took out an oiled paper bag, and in order to hide people's eyes, he removed the packaging of all the things he bought and wrapped them in oiled paper.

At this time, I took out a bag of fried oilfruits, which I bought at the breakfast shop, and it was still hot.

As soon as the oil paper bag was opened, the unique sweet fragrance of the oil fruit spread in the room, and the two little girls swallowed saliva at the same time.

Zhou Chu took out two pieces of oiled paper, selected the two largest avocados, and said, "Quick, taste it while it's hot." ”

Tang Xiaocao wanted to refuse politely, but her sister Xiaoqing ran directly into the house, took an avocado from Zhou Chu's hand and ate it.

"Woo, good times, good times, third sister, you hurry up!"

Zhou Chu saw that Tang Xiaocao was still entangled, and said with a smile: "Try it, it's delicious." ”

Tang Xiaocao reached out to take it, first sniffed it, and then took a small bite, and his little face melted instantly, and a smile appeared.

"Is it delicious?"

"Hmm!"
