Madam, go home and farm

Chapter 115 Treat yourself better

Early the next morning, Hong Hao'an was called in. Although he didn't say anything specifically, Pu Huang also guessed that it was probably Li Zhenghe and the clan who wanted to explain to the villagers what happened yesterday, and Wu's mother and son had to deal with it in the first place. Yes, they unfortunately became the scapegoat.

As soon as Tianshen's birthday was over, the whole village became much quieter. There was no sound of firecrackers, nor the sound of beating gongs and drums. It seemed a little depressed throughout the winter.But the children were very happy, playing around with the unlit little firecrackers, being scolded by adults from time to time, and then ran away with a smile.

As soon as the birthday is over, it means that it is time to start preparing for the New Year. Almost every household has picked a lot of bamboo branches to help them on the long bamboo poles, and dusted the dust inside and outside the house to sweep away the cobwebs.Throughout the year, only these two months have time to do this.

"Daughter-in-law Hao'an, are you making rice cakes for the Chinese New Year this year?" Jiao asked at the door with a small bag still hanging on her wrist. It turns out that she is pregnant.

"Ah, it's Mrs. Chen, but I didn't buy glutinous rice, so I thought I'd go to the county to buy ready-made ones." Rice cakes are white rice cakes, which are steamed glutinous rice and pounded into cakes. is very good.

Jiao raised the bag slightly, "It's okay, you can bring rice to exchange, or you can use silver, but it's much cheaper than buying it in the county town. There are people in the village who can make it, and it was done there in the past."

Puhuang thinks about it too. People in the village don’t dare to be short of catties or use bad materials. up.

Another appointment was made with Widow Qiu, and the three of them walked towards the other side of the river, talking and laughing. The family was at the corner of Xiaoping Mountain, which was very close to Hong Haoping's new home. Along the way, the three of them talked about Jiao's And the precautions for pregnant women are the main topics, and there are no girls who have not left the cabinet around, so there are not so many taboos.

This family is surnamed Wang, and the whole family is very honest. They have four sons and two daughters, and they all have the strength of a handful. When they arrived, they saw several large stone mortars at the door, and five men held arms The sleeves were beating there.

After entering the gate, the hostess of this stand is talking straightforwardly, whether it is for rice or money, she speaks very truthfully.Seeing Puhuang and the others, they also greeted them warmly. Widow Qiu was there to socialize, and she seemed to be more familiar with the hostess.

Thinking about Hong Wenhua being fainted by the medicine yesterday, Puhuang wanted to go and have a look, so he took almost the money to Jiao's, asked her to help hand it over, and went to Hong Haoping's house to have a look by himself.

"Sister-in-law, you are here, sit down quickly, letter, go and get your auntie a glass of water, and bring the sweet date cake from the cabinet." Seeing Puhuang approaching, Mrs. Chen hurriedly ordered her son to do things. With Hong Wenhua behind his back, he could only smile apologetically at Puhuang.

"Wen Hua is frightened?" Pu Huang looked at the girl with tears on her face.

Chen smiled wryly, "Yeah, I can't leave people now, and I can't sleep well. Sister-in-law, I was in a hurry yesterday and didn't come to thank you. I wanted to wait for my husband to come back and bring Wenhua to kowtow to you."

"It's not a big deal. I guess I was scared and didn't go to see the doctor?" Pu Huang took the bowl from the little boy Hong Hanwen and smiled at him. He has been silent since the time he fell into the water. Fortunately, not autistic.

"I'm probably shocked. I plan to go to the sorceress to ask for some talisman water for her to drink."

Puhuang paused, but still didn't express any opinion. It's not her child, so she can only suggest, but other parents have their own ideas, so why bother to do something sinful, "Children are young and forgetful, and it is estimated that they will die in two or three days. alright."

Guessing that the time was almost up, Puhuang left. He didn't see Hong Haoping, so he should have been called away like Hong Haoan, and he didn't know what decision the village had made.

On the way back, the topic changed. They were talking about what to buy for the New Year, how much fabric to buy and how many new clothes to buy. Jiao and Widow Qiu were even discussing what flowers to embroider. In a blink of an eye, Widow Qiu promised to give Jiao's future child has embroidered a small quilt.

The villain in Puhuang's heart squatted silently in the corner and drew circles, because if Mao wanted to talk about such a difficult and high-tech topic as embroidery, she couldn't get in a word. Listen to the bible.

However, Widow Qiu didn't let Puhuang go, she glanced sideways at the clothes Puhuang was wearing today, "Puhuang, you can also make clothes, and the lines are very fine, while you are young and have good eyesight, follow me." Embroidery, make some nice clothes for yourself, look how old you are, you have to look like an old woman."

Pu Huang looked down at his clothes. The pea-green jacket and the light brown cotton skirt were not a big problem. They were all for work, so embroidering was fine.

"Auntie, I think it's pretty good." Pu Huang's voice was a little weak, she thought it was enough to be simple and clean, there was no need for so many decorations, even on her head was a wooden hairpin that she sat on casually.

"..." Widow Qiu was speechless for a while, "Puhuang, I know that you have had a hard life, and life is not easy, but as for women, you should treat yourself better, what is wronging yourself, so what if your man wronged you for you? Not the same!"

Convex!Did she or Widow Qiu come from time-traveling? Speaking of such words from the mouth of a native, it really... really shocked her!

No, Jiao Shi also nodded, "Being good to yourself doesn't mean being bad to your husband and family, but there's no need to live like a maid or a puppet."

"That's right, go back and study hard. Your mother definitely didn't teach you to do this at the beginning. No matter how hard the family is, you must give yourself a hope and a goal so that you won't be numb, like a walking dead." Widow Qiu patted Puhuang's face face, very satisfied to see her blank expression.

Pu Huang resisted to slap Widow Qiu's hand off. At this moment, she seemed to understand something, but she couldn't describe it in her heart.But she didn't wrong herself, it's just that she didn't like the beautiful clothes.

Not long after I got home and sat down, Mrs. Yang came over with the child in her arms, "I thought you should be at home at this time, so I came over to have a look, and sure enough, sister, don't you want to go to the county tomorrow, mother asked me to prepare New Year's goods. "

"Yes, it just so happens that my husband is going to see the doctor." Pu Huang nodded, took out some snacks, and made some tea. The two of them sat and said slowly, "It seems that we need a lot of things for the Chinese New Year. What does the godmother want to buy? ?”

"Ah, Brother Hao'an, are you okay?" Yang held the child and let him half-sit in her arms, "We have to worship many gods and ancestors during the Chinese New Year, and we need a lot of things, but mother If you think it’s troublesome, prepare to do it yourself.”

"That's it, sister-in-law, look, I'm not from the local area. Is there anything taboo about worshiping or something during the Chinese New Year? No, how many places do I need to go?" Anyone can ask these questions, but Yang and himself are also considered The sister-in-law is gone, it's good to have some conversations to get closer, so as not to be too alienated.

There's no way, Mrs. Xu is a bit weird. Sometimes she helps you and makes you feel that this person is here to find trouble. I don't know how to develop this temper, but no one dares to offend her casually.For this Hong Haoan's godmother, she still feels a little guilty.

"Ah, there are also taboos. When worshiping ancestors, they must be cooked food, and they must not be eaten. Therefore, you should wash all the pots and bowls before cooking, so as not to make your ancestors unhappy. Then when you have menstruation, And don't offer incense." Yang thought for a while, and said something, in fact, she only recently started to learn how to be a housekeeper, and Xu slowly handed everything over to her, "Then when worshiping the bed god and the house god, all It’s the same as offering sacrifices to ancestors, but when offering sacrifices to the God of Earth’s Stove, you need cooked food, but it needs to be whole and complete,…”

The two of them had a lot of conversations, and Puhuang understood almost everything. When Mrs. Yang was about to leave, she wrapped some spiced spices in dried lotus leaves and asked her to take them away. She forgot to send them away before. Look at her memory. , living far is a problem.

Less than half a year after the house was built, Puhuang cleaned it with mental strength, and everything in the kitchen and warehouse was tidied up and arranged neatly. Doesn't it look pleasing to the eye.

Hong Haoan didn't come back until after the meal time. When he saw the food on the table, he felt guilty for a moment, and felt that it was right for him to come back early, "My lady, I'm hungry."

"Have you been drinking?" Puhuang sniffed, and then looked at the blush on Hong Haoan's face, it didn't look like it was blown by the cold wind, "Did Lizheng leave food over there?"

"Yeah, yes, but I only ate a little bit, not full." Hong Haoan nodded foolishly, feeling that after returning home, the room was much warmer, and his head began to feel a little dizzy.

Puhuang rolled his eyes, scooped up a bowl of hot soup and handed it to Hong Haoan, "Drink it first." The guy who can't drink, I hope he doesn't go crazy with alcohol. I wanted to ask him how the village decided, but it seems that When he woke up, thinking, he had no choice but to find Ge Hua to make a brew.

After drinking two bowls of soup, Hong Hao'an fell asleep very disappointingly. Looking at his snoring sample, Puhuang was a little weak, and she finally understood why those women didn't like their men to drink alcohol. As soon as the eyes are closed and the body is lying down, it is the woman behind.

When Hong Haoan woke up, he opened his eyes and saw darkness. Looking sideways, the oil lamp on the table was jumping, and Puhuang was not in the room. When he turned his head, he quickly remembered what was going on. , I was a little surprised, but I still dragged the wheelchair aside and moved myself onto the chair.

"Wake up, are you hungry?" Puhuang was still in the kitchen at this time, lighting an oil lamp and peeling sweet potatoes. Since she had nothing to do, she planned to make some dried sweet potatoes and eat them as snacks after drying. not bad.

"Miss, thank you for your hard work. It's my fault. I shouldn't drink." Hong Haoan bowed his head with a bitter face. It was his fault. He didn't say anything if he didn't come back for dinner. He still drank, but Puhuang didn't give it to him. His complexion looked good.
