In the courtyard of the Chen family,

The little chubby pier was being blindfolded with a folded cotton handkerchief.

The handkerchief tied by the stone immediately turned around and ran, "Brother Shi is here, come and chase me!" ”

It was dark and he couldn't see anything, and the little chubby dun's excited face froze, and he was so frightened that he raised his little hand to pull the blindfolded handkerchief.

The dog shouted loudly, "The little chubby dun can't be picked!" Come and catch me, catch me! ”

Jinbao approached, "Brother Fat Dun, Brother Jinbao is here, reach out and grab me!" ”

Yinbao beckoned and shouted, "Brother Fat Dun, Brother Yinbao is here." ”

The little chubby dun stood motionless in place, muttering, "Giggle~"

Rui Rui turned around and shouted, "Brother is here!" ”

Little Fat Dun moved cautiously twice, his small mouth bent down, and his voice shouted with crying, "Giggle~"

Rui Rui looked at his younger brother who was just making trouble and was now scared together, his little brows furrowed and sighed lightly, he took a few steps closer, opened his hand and shouted, "Brother, brother is here." ”

The little chubby dun walked slowly on his short legs, stumbled into his arms, buried his little head and clutched his clothes tightly, "Giggle~"

"Well, my brother has caught my brother." Rui Rui replied helplessly, and reached out to untie the handkerchief on his face.

Little chubby's little eyes blinked and blinked.

Rui Rui handed the handkerchief to Jinbao, and after letting people blindfold him, he reached out and pushed the little fat dun and said, "Brother run, my brother is coming to arrest you!" ”

Little Fat Dun was stunned, Jinbao pulled him over and ran, shouting as he ran, "Rui Rui, come and catch me!" ”

Rui Rui's little ears moved, and he rushed in the direction of the sound, and Jinbao pulled the little fat dun to lie down quickly.

Seeing that my brother pounced in the air, the little chubby dun giggled, and the little face raised his fat hand to pull Rui Rui's trouser legs, and shouted, "Giggles, Jinbao is here~"

Jinbao: "!! ”

Rui Rui: "......"

Zhao Miaomiao embroidered handkerchiefs, looked up from time to time to see the children playing hide and seek, and swept over her mother-in-law and sister-in-law who were busy spinning.

Compared with spinning, the weaving cloth is thicker, but the people in Wanlin County are not as good at weaving as the people in Jiangnan, and the rough surface of the woven cloth is not large, and it can only be traded in the countryside, so it is difficult to make a living from weaving, and most of the villagers are spinning.

Spinning is simpler than weaving, the cost is also low, it is the only stable work of Chenjiagou every household, the cotton is loosened, kneaded into strips with wooden sticks, and then spun into cotton thread on the yarn car, and the skilled hands can spin about four taels of yarn in a day.

The spun cotton thread is traded in the flower thread market, and one pound of cotton thread can be exchanged for one and a half pounds of cotton, and the daily price of one pound of cotton is fifty or sixty yuan.

Huaxian City snows once a month from the beginning of spring to winter, so catching up with the market tomorrow is the top priority in the village, and it is also the most important thing for the Chen family.

After spinning all the cotton into cotton thread and having dinner, the Chen family went to rest early.

midnight

"Giggle!! Chicken screams.

"Humph!!" The screams of pigs.

The Chen family, who had fallen into a deep sleep, suddenly woke up.

Zhao Miaomiao opened her eyes and saw the back of Chen Shouxing quickly opening the door and going out, she looked at the little chubby dun who was still asleep and didn't wake up, picked up the person and put it on the innermost edge of the bed, and blocked the edge with a pillow.

I got out of bed and got dressed, and I went out to take a look, and it was pitch black all around.

Zhao Miaomiao came to the courtyard and saw that everyone in the Chen family had black faces.

There was a little blood on the floor of the pigsty, and the best pig was still bleeding, and the wound was close to the neck.

Mrs. Chen patted her thighs and sat on the ground, crying and scolding, "Old lady's pig! What a bastard who has lost his conscience! ”

Seeing Chen Shouxing coming back, he asked angrily, "Have you seen people?" Which one dares to come to our house Huo Huo! ”

Chen Shouye looked at Chen Shouxing and asked, "Fifth brother, did you come out first to see the people?" ”

Chen Shouxing shook his head and said, "It was too dark to see clearly, that person originally wanted to continue cutting pigs, but when he saw someone coming out, he turned his head and led the chickens away." ”

"It's not tall and thin, it's a man, and the person disappeared after chasing it out for a while, but it must have been done by someone near us!"

Mrs. Chen gritted her teeth and scolded, "Don't let the old lady know who did it, the old lady wasted his eggs!" If he hadn't woken up to the sound of a chicken, we'd have to give him both of our pigs! ”

After scolding, he turned his head and asked, "Fourth, how many chickens are missing?" ”

Chen Shoushan replied, "Mother, there are no fewer chickens at home. ”

The faces of the Chen Shoujia were a little better.

Mrs. Chen raised her eyebrows and tilted her head and said, "Old Five, go and see how many are missing from you?" ”

Chen Shouxing's face was ugly and he came back with the lamp, "There are two chickens missing over there, and they are the two that can lay eggs!" ”

I heard that it was a chicken that laid eggs, and Zhao Miaomiao was so distressed that she wanted to scold her mother!

Mrs. Chen scolded, "Bastard! The old lady cursed him to go out and be bitten by a dog, and no one burned incense after he died! ”

He also said, Li's family, you have been keeping an eye on the neighborhoods for the old lady for a few nights, and let Jinbao and Yinbao have a few children to watch during the day to see whose house is fragrant in the past few days! ”

The things at home were Huo Huo, and the Li family was so angry that they were not sleepy and responded, "Alas, mother! ”

Old Mrs. Chen's eyes narrowed and said, "Especially the Liu family's widower!" And the Wu family also has to be stared at, we just finished beating Wu Youjia the day before yesterday, and the old slut of Widow Wu must hate us! ”

Wang Hongmei gritted her teeth and nodded, "Auntie must be them!" I'll keep an eye on it! ”

Chen Shouxing also felt that they were doing it, he didn't see the person clearly just now, but the figure posture, he looked very much like a widower!

Mrs. Chen looked at the cut and bandaged pig in distress, and she didn't know if she could feed it, "Okay, Li, you keep an eye on me, everyone else will go back to sleep, and they will all have to be busy tomorrow!" ”

Zhao Miaomiao dragged her steps back to the room, and she couldn't sleep and was angry after tossing and turning!

Chen Shouxing pulled her over and hugged her, and coaxed in his ear, "Sisters-in-law will definitely be able to find someone, daughter-in-law, don't be angry!" ”

Zhao Miaomiao gritted her teeth and said, "If you can find the chickens, they will all be slaughtered, and the child will have no eggs to eat, and the little fat dun will definitely cry!" Bastard steals that chicken that doesn't pick on us to lay eggs! ”

Chen Shouxing was also angry in his heart, and coaxed, "It's okay daughter-in-law, they will definitely come out of this breath, and it won't take a few days to wait!" ”

Zhao Miaomiao exhaled deeply and asked, "Mother said that it was Widow Wu who did it, are they it?" ”

Chen Shouxing nodded and said, "That person just now looked like a widower!" ”

Zhao Miaomiao puffed up her face and said, "Why didn't you say it just now, let's go to the door!" ”

Chen Shouxing sighed and said, "Let's go and get the chickens back at most now, this matter is definitely not Liu Widower's idea, someone is instigating it behind his back." ”

Zhao Miaomiao's eyes immediately knew what he meant, "It's Widow Wu!" Fuck off, why is she so bad! ”

Chen Shouxing pinched her face and said, "Don't be angry, daughter-in-law, in a few days, our mother will definitely make them jump and take this breath!" ”

Zhao Miaomiao muttered, "But our chickens still can't come back!" ”

Chen Shouxing was silent, and his eyes suddenly said a little strangely, "Daughter-in-law, don't worry, when the time comes, my mother will definitely let them (his) pay (pick) the chickens that will lay eggs back to us." ”
