The village where the Chen family is located is called Chenjiagou, Chenjiagou is backed by the mountain and faces the river, and Zhao Miaomiao has to walk for a quarter of an hour to the creek to wash clothes.

The creek is one of the liveliest places in the village, and the other is the only well in the village, where fifty or sixty families can get water, and it takes at least a quarter and a half of an hour to queue up to make a load of water.

Passing by the wellhead, Zhao Miaomiao heard her third sister-in-law He carrying a bucket on her shoulder and gossiping with people, gossiping is just enough, the embarrassment is that she just saw the person who was gossiped by He, and there were not a few people behind He.

Ho: "Alas! Aunt Zhu, do you know that the little girl of the Huang family next door to your house has withdrawn from the marriage again? ”

Aunt Zhu: "What? Are you saying true? Why didn't I listen to it, how do I remember that his daughter didn't seem to have retreated once? What's the matter with retiring this time? ”

Ho: "Said the man would beat someone?" What is wrong with this? Isn't my father-in-law going to be having a bad time with my mother-in-law now? Alas...... This girl in his family is delicate and has a lot of problems! ”

People in line: "......"

How fierce Mrs. Chen is, don't you have any points in your heart? Men are so scared that they turn around and leave, how can a little girl compare with your mother-in-law! There are few people in our village who dare to fight with her.

He continued, "Isn't it, they have all retreated once, and this time they are making trouble retreating, who will be a good family to retreat......"

Seeing that the third sister-in-law was talking more and more outrageous, the girl's face became more and more pale, Zhao Miaomiao hurriedly shouted, "Third sister-in-law, just now I saw that the third uncle came back looking for you!" ”

The villagers who lined up to fetch water had blazing eyes and gossip flavors, and they all looked at He's family.

Aunt Zhu's eyes flickered, and she took the lead in quipping, "Oops! Look how long it's been since you've been gone, and you're already thinking about you! ”

"It's slimy, I heard that the old lady's face was hot, this little couple has a really good relationship!" Mrs. Zhang touched her face and laughed.

Liu also joined in the fun, "It's not that the two of them are newlywed!" It's hot, it's hot, it's like we stay at home every day and see the one at home. ”

"Nothing, everything!" He Shi was not shy at all, and the corners of his mouth rose, "The child's father is too, what are you worried about?" I'll just come out and get some water, and I'll be back in a while! Look at what he's anxious about, and trouble his five siblings to call me. ”

Zhao Miaomiao: "......"

The third uncle really didn't look for you, he was still collecting firewood in the mountains! I'm afraid that you will make other people's little girls cry, and Aunt Huang will come over and tear you up later, so I said that, why are you still showing up?

Zhao Miaomiao shook her head, the third sister-in-law likes to show off, it's better than offending people.

I walked all the way to the village chief's house, and then turned a corner to the creek and river.

Zhao Miaomiao found a place to wash clothes, and there were many women and girls rubbing and beating dirty clothes, and they kept chattering about who's gossip and gossip.

Wet the dirty laundry with water, rub it with soap and rub it vigorously on the washboard.

Across the creek is the cultivated land, where rows of corn and soybeans are planted, and in a few days everyone will have to busy harvesting.

Zhao Miaomiao took the washed clothes, threw them into the river water again and again, rinsed them and wrung them out and put them in a wooden basin.

"Auntie!"

There were a few familiar voices in her ears, and Zhao Miaomiao looked up and saw that it was her nieces.

Huihui is a little beauty with bright facial features, and she is the best among the girls in the Chen family, with a bun on her head and a short skirt made of earth-colored linen.

The girl was a sweet-mouthed and coquettish person, with a delicate face, her hair combed into a double bun, her clothes were half-worn, a pink blouse and a long green dress embroidered with small lace.

Zhao Di is quiet and timid, and she looks pretty good, but she ...... Jackets and pants made of linen still patched?

Lai Di's little face is a little dark, it should have been dried by working on pigweed before, and the clothes on her body are not as good as Zhao Di.

Zhao Miaomiao frowned, where did the sister-in-law use the linen cloth given by her mother every year? Got it in exchange for money?

Zhao Di has to talk about people, and next year she will come to Di to say that she is at the age of saying that she is pro, why are you still dressed like this!

Zhao Miaomiao put everything into the laundry tub, got up and said, "After washing the clothes later, a few of you will come to my house." ”

The noonday sun shone on the goose egg's face, which was white and red, her eyes were large and round, and her black and smooth hair was combed into a beautiful bun, with a yellow silk flower on it, with red beaded earrings, wearing a pink short coat, a light yellow dress with flower branches embroidered on her feet, and pink embroidered shoes.

The little girls were stunned.

Xiuxiu said dumbly, "The little aunt is so beautiful, the best and most beautiful in the village!" ”

Huihui nodded again and again: Not really! can marry an aunt, it's really cheap uncle!

Zhao Miaomiao pointed at their heads with her index finger, "It's just your two sweet mouths!" Did you listen to what my aunt said just now? ”

Xiuxiu Hui and Hui nodded.

Zhao Miaomiao said to the people behind them again, "Zhaodi, you two remember to come too." ”

Zhao Di pointed at herself and didn't speak.

It should be a good thing for the aunt to find them, it will not be a bad thing, Laidi hurriedly pulled her sister and said happily, "Got it, auntie!" ”

Zhao Miaomiao looked at her twice, this girl is a clever girl.

Back to Chen's house.

Picked up the washed clothes, wrung them out and shook them, spread them out on the bamboo poles in the yard, and after cooling the last one, Zhao Miaomiao poured out the water for the clothes in the wooden basin.

Smelling the smell of food in the air, she knew that her husband should have made lunch.

When Zhao Miaomiao entered the house with a wooden basin, Chen Shouxing just finished feeding the last bite of custard to Xiao Fat Dun.

Rui Rui sat at the square table, his little hands unskillfully holding (rolling) the noodles with chopsticks, and saw her speak, "Mother, come and eat noodles." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw that the eldest son had just tried to pick up the noodles that were about to reach his mouth, and he slipped back into the bowl, Zhao Miaomiao smiled, "Goose goose goose goose ......"

Rui Rui: "......"

On the square table are a covered soup pot and three bowls of boiled noodles that are served cold, each covered with bean sprouts and a poached egg.

Opening the lid of the pot, the soup was floating with chili oil and chopped green onions, and with the hot smoke, Zhao Miaomiao poured a few spoonfuls of soup on the three bowls of noodles with a wooden ladle.

Zhao Miaomiao put the soup spoon in the bowl, picked up a pair of chopsticks, and then picked up a bowl of noodles and said, "I sent noodles to my mother, Xianggong, you eat first." ”

Chen Shouxing wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and replied, "Okay!" ”

In the yard.

Seeing her little daughter-in-law coming over with a bowl from a distance, Mrs. Chen immediately put down the cotton strip in her hand, got up and wiped her hands on her clothes, walked over and said with a smile, "Miao Miao!" Mother is this old bone, everything you eat is a waste of things, you and Shouxing don't always worry about me, take the things back quickly, and leave them for Rui Rui Fat Dun'er to eat. ”
