Mrs. Liu went to the mountains early to pick up a basket of dead branches. Although she still has some at home, she must have stored some more. The weather is getting cold now, so she might as well avoid making a trip.

She struggled to throw the bamboo basket on her back, and carried it back home, but as soon as she entered the yard, she saw Ji Laoliu squatting in the middle, biting his cigarette holder and taking a nap under the sun. Next to him were a few quilts, which she asked him to set up to dry before going out in the morning.

Seeing this, Mrs. Liu became annoyed. She had been working so hard all morning, but the old man felt relieved. She shook her shoulders angrily, and threw a bundle of firewood on the ground.

Ji Laoliu opened his eyes when he heard the sound, saw Mrs. Liu, and stretched while holding the cigarette stick.

"Oh, mother, you-you-you came back, I just-just- fell asleep for some reason." He yawned twice after saying this.

Ms. Liu pursed her lips, looked at him and said, "I said his father, you are only in your thirties, why are you like an old man at the entrance of the village, you doze off when you sit down, you, you don't know how to doze off if you want to doze off." Put the quilt on and then..."

Ji Laoliu waved his hand, knocked the cigarette stick on the ground a few times, pinned it on his back, then stood up with the quilt in his arms, pulled it apart and put it on the clothesline.

"Hey, his mother, I was going to bask in the sun just now... But there was no sun in the morning, I sat down and waited after thinking about it, but who knew that I fell asleep while waiting... hey-hey……"

Mrs. Liu stared at him, this dead ghost, with only this mouth, said, "Then why don't you go to the field first, the children have all gone to the field, and you just stay at home!"

Ji Laoliu tore off the quilt, patted the quilt with his hands, and said with a playful smile, "Hey, mother, I'm not afraid that if I leave, I won't be able to keep the door open for you. Do you know when you will come back?" of."

Mrs. Liu gave Ji Laoliu a look, carried the bamboo basket to the courtyard gate and put it there, "You old man, every time you avoid laziness, you will say this way... Huh, I will learn from Xiuniang tomorrow." Like a girl, go to the town to buy a lock, then I will see you..."

"Sister-in-law Six, are you calling me?"

"Oh my mother..."

Mrs. Liu patted herself on the chest, looked at Xiu Niang outside the door, she was smiling and standing in front of her with a bamboo basket on her shoulders.

She said with a half-complaint, "You said you girl, when did you jump out, but I was shocked."

Xiu Niang walked into the yard with a smile, "Sister-in-law Liu, I called you when I first came here, but you just scolded Brother Six, didn't you hear me?"

Ji Laoliu gave a "tsk", and looked at Mrs. Liu complainingly, as if he said, look at you, it's all right now, it's a joke for Chu Ge's family.

He cleared his throat, went to the stove, picked up the hoe, smiled at Xiu Niang, and left, "Hey, what, sister, you chatter first, I'll go down and have a look."

Seeing Ji Laoliu leaving, Mrs. Liu muttered something, and then led Xiuniang to the yard.

"Hey, sister, why are you here when you are free? I was thinking about looking for you two days ago. You don't have to rush to work today. Can we chat a little longer? Your mother-in-law won't come because of you Let's come over to chat and squeeze you, I won't yell at you to let go of your work..."

Xiu Niang listened with a smile, she knew that the past two months had suffocated Mrs Liu, originally she and Mrs Liu's family were neighbors, they often came and went to help with some housework, and then chatted together, but since they were sinking After Shi came, Xiuniang didn't have time to go to the house to chat, and she couldn't go there, there were so many people in Xiuniang's family, there was no place to sit, let alone get together to have a good chat.

She put the bamboo basket on the ground and said, "Oh, sister-in-law six is ​​fine, my mother-in-law doesn't care about me, Chu Ge and my uncle went up to the mountain to hunt wild animals today, the house is idle, so I came to the house .”

Liu smiled and took her hand, "Well, let's sit and chat for a while."

Xiu Niang said, "Sister-in-law Liu won't be sitting anymore, I'm here to see how the last batch of Erbao vines are doing."

Mrs. Liu responded, and led Xiuniang to the drying rack, and tiptoed to take down the top basket for Xiuniang to have a look at.

"What's the matter, sister, are you going to town these two days... Oops, my sister is here to help..."

Xiu Niang pulled the Erbao vines in the basket and said, "Well, I was thinking about it, let Chu Ge accompany me... Hey, sister-in-law Liu, Chu An and Xiao Xianger picked all the vines here. Is it gone?"

Liu Shi said and pointed to the stove, "How can it be, those baskets...here, I put all the sun-dried ones in the stove, and that one is ventilated."

Xiuniang took a look at Liu's kitchen, and grabbed the Erbao vine in the bamboo basket, feeling that it was still a little damp, she said, "That's right, I look at our bamboo basket and have to dry it in the sun. I'll get it again, Sister-in-law Six, and I'll have to trouble you for two more days."

Mrs. Liu laughed and muttered a few words, took the Erbao Fujiwara and put it on the drying rack.

"Hey, why are you being polite... Hey, by the way, sister, are you looking for a big house again?"

Xiu Niang paused, Chu Ge asked her about it yesterday, and he went up the mountain this morning, how would Mrs. Liu know?

"What? Sister-in-law Six, who did you hear that from?"

Mrs. Liu looked at her, "Isn't that what I just said? I was thinking about looking for you two days ago, but when I got to your yard, I saw your mother-in-law. She stopped me, and we chatted for a while. Son."

"Then why did my mother-in-law say that Chugo and I are looking for a big house?"

"Well, yes, she said that you two wanted it, and I thought you two were going to move house."

After hearing this, Xiu Niang sneered and shook her head, her mother-in-law...

Mrs. Liu asked Xiu Niang, "Sister, are you and Chu Ge really going to move house?"

Xiu Niang pondered for a while, isn't this Mrs. Shen looking for a house, so she might as well let the wind out for her, the more she is afraid that people will find out, the more she will shake her arms out, it is best to let everyone in the village Dare not buy or sell a big house to Shen Shi, so in the end, Shen Shi and the others will have to come and beg her.

She smiled and said, "Hey, it's Chu Ge and I who want to move, it's my uncle and the others. I guess my parents-in-law will move there too."

"Oh, let me tell you, how can you be so stupid, give this house to your mother-in-law and the others."

"Then Sister-in-Law, you can help me find out about this matter." Everyone in the village trusts Ji Laoliu and his wife, knowing that they won't play tricks on it, and take some subsidies or something.

"Well... Hey, sister, you said that since it is your uncle and they are looking for a big house, why didn't your mother-in-law just tell me, why did you tell me that you and Chu Ge wanted it?"

"Hey, it's not that they don't have money..."

"What!" Without money, he dared to say that he was looking for a big house!
Xiu Niang pretended to be leaking, and hurriedly covered her mouth, "Hey, no, what, my mother-in-law means, hasn't Chu Ge lived in Xiayang Village for a long time, the big guy will give me a little bit of this Reserve price is not."

Seeing what Xiuniang said, Mrs. Liu had a clue in her heart, and she still agreed, "You are right and right."

Xiu Niang smiled and said to Mrs. Liu, "Then you should worry more about Mrs. Liu..."

Liu said hesitantly, "Uh, I don't bother with this matter, it's just..."

Xiu Niang said first, "Come on, then I'll thank Sister-in-law Liu on behalf of my uncle. He just went up the mountain with Chu Ge to hunt game, and he said he wanted to reward you and Brother Six."

Mrs. Liu listened, and if she didn't agree now, she had to agree. She nodded in embarrassment, and muttered in her heart, anyway, it's the girl Xiuniang who asked. She found this house, but the boss of the Chu family has no money, so I can't blame him for not selling it, so we can't be considered fooling people like this.

"Oh, by the way, Sixth Sister-in-Law, if you want to inquire about the big house, bring along one for me."

"What's wrong, girl, you have to find one too."

Xiu Niang looked at Mrs. Liu, rolled her big watery eyes, and smiled, "I'm not looking for the big house, I'm looking for the fields. Sixth sister-in-law, I want to buy land."

----------

At noon, Chu Fu and his brother came back. They were both smiling. Chu Ge was carrying three wild rabbits and a big pheasant in his hand.

Xiuniang knew that the wild rabbit was caught by Chu Ge's trap earlier, and the big pheasant, she had to say, was caught by Chu Fu's luck.

Chu Fu was rubbing his legs outside the yard, holding the pheasant in his hand, talking happily, how he was nesting behind the branch of the tree, staring at the wild pheasant, and pounced on it... …

Chu Ge walked into the yard with a smile, found a bamboo basket, and put the caught wild rabbits in it. He suddenly saw a pair of delicate white cloth shoes and a dangling cotton skirt beside the basket.

He looked up and saw Xiu Niang standing in front of him holding a bowl of water, "Chu Ge, are you thirsty?"

Because of what happened last night, Chu Ge still felt a little weird, but when he saw the bowl was slightly steaming, he thought the bowl of water was warm, he watched Xiu Niang keep holding it, and took it.

Chu Ge brought the bowl to his mouth, took a sip, and felt a little hot, but it was just right to drink in this cold day, and his stomach was warm.

He raised his eyes to look at Xiu Niang, and she drank the water obediently, "Next time, don't make it so hot, be careful..."

Seeing Chu Ge's numbness, Xiu Niang smiled coquettishly, she took the bowl, "Understood, be careful not to burn your own hands."

Chu Fu would shout outside, "Brother, you rest first, I will take this pheasant to Lao Liu's family."

Xiu Niang looked at it, and said to Chu Ge, "This pheasant is not enough, there are so many people in Brother Six's family, why don't we send the rabbit over there."

Chu Ge thought about it too, Xiao Xiang'er and An Zi often eat at the sixth brother's house, so they should send some supplies there, after all, the big guys are not rich.

He looked down into the basket, stretched out his hand and slipped one out.

Xiu Niang leaned closer to Chu Ge and said, "I've already told Sixth Sister-in-Law that she's helping to find the house for Eldest Brother, so you don't need to say any more."

Chu Ge listened for a while, thoughtfully smiled, and went to the house with Chu Fu after talking.

Looking at Chu Ge's back, Xiu Niang sighed secretly, anyway, she has already fooled this idiot once, let her do it again...
