farmhouse ditty

Chapter 127 Why is this idiot so seductive?
Xiuniang asked Xiao Xianger to wash her hands, and added them to make dumplings. Chu Ge and Chu An came back, and watched the women chattering in the room. The brothers wisely put away the firewood and ran to Ji Laoliu. side went.

In the second half of the day, Xiu Niang put the last grate of dumplings on the edge of the courtyard wall. This place is better in the shade, and the sun can't shine. If you put it somewhere else, the dumplings will become sour after a long time.

Mrs. Liu called her maids to tidy up their things, to wash and sweep those rolling pins, wooden basins, chopping boards and so on.

After all, this is in Xiuniang's courtyard, and she is not allowed to do whatever she wants. Earlier, she ran over to make dumplings because of the large area of ​​the house. Now that it is done, she should help clean it up.

Seeing that it was getting late, Xiuniang asked Xiao Xianger to call Chu An over, and she took the bamboo basket Xiao Xianger brought earlier to fill Shen's and the others with dumplings, and she put a piece of clean debris under the basket , while sprinkled with flour, put the dumplings inside.

She thought to herself, Shen Shi and the others plus Chu An and Xiao Xiang'er make up six people. If each person eats twenty, then there will be about a hundred.

Xiu Niang watched and brought another basket, counted and filled it up, and divided the two baskets like this, so that Chu An and Xiao Xiang'er could carry them home one by one.

Chu An and Hei Wazi were having fun, and they didn't want to go back at first, but when they arrived, they still listened to Chu Ge's words, and the good boy came over to call Xiao Xiang'er, and they went back together with the basket.

Mrs. Liu saw that the cleaning was almost done, so she said to Xiu Niang, "Sister, Chu Geer and you are the only ones in your room today, why don't you come over to my place to have dinner at night, and let's have fun together. "

Xiu Niang shook her head and smiled, "There's no need for Sixth Sister-in-law. I finished everything yesterday. I'll make two dishes and cook dumplings later. If Chu Ge and I go over here, I won't help you." Why don't you talk about it, but I have something for you to do."

Mrs. Liu listened to what Xiuniang said, and didn't nag too much. She knew in her heart that this girl, Xiuniang, only said and acted in one sentence. If you want it, you don't want it.

Besides, for the Chinese New Year, everyone usually spends it at their own home, so how could they go to someone else's home? She thought about it and said, "Hey, come on, let's not talk too much, that girl , you are busy, if you want to find someone to help, just say hello, huh?"

Xiu Niang looked at Mrs. Liu, and nodded with a smile. She thought that Mrs. Liu should go back to work on the New Year's Eve dinner, so she asked her to bring the dumplings when she passed by. Hurry up and carry them over with one grate.

Mrs. Liu didn't shirk it, so she talked to Xiuniang and shared the dumplings. In the end, Xiuniang only left a pair of dumplings for herself and Chu Ge, about forty, and she asked Liu to take care of the others. After going through the house, there are six or seven people in her family, so of course they eat more.

Da Ya looked at her mother and nodded, then took the younger sisters to pick up the grate, chatted with Xiu Niang and went out.

Xiuniang helped to open the courtyard door so that Mrs. Liu and the maids could go out, and when Mrs. Liu picked up the wooden basin and entered her own room, she suddenly called her.

Liu looked at her, "What's wrong, sister?"

Xiu Niang and his wife looked away, as if they were thinking about something, and smiled with the corners of their mouths, talking to Mrs. Liu.

"Sister-in-law Six, I remembered, I really need your help with something."

Mrs. Liu held the wooden basin and lifted it up, looking at her with some doubts, "What?"

----------

In the middle of the night, the originally dark dirt roads brightened the courtyards of the houses. At this moment, every household in the village opened their courtyard doors and was busy preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner.

Chu Ge went to deliver some dumplings to Mrs. Zhang at the entrance of the village. He just came back and watched four or five children running past his house playing around. Hurry up and go home...

Xiu Niang picked up the dumplings in the pot with a colander, put them on a plate, put the rest down to cook, and took the cooked dumplings into the main room. The square wooden table in the house was moved to the main room, and it was here where I ate all day.

Two oil lamps were lit in the main room at the moment, Xiu Niang felt that it was not bright enough, so she added another one, she put the oil lamp in her hand on the table, and looked back outside.

The courtyard was brightly lit, the little baby outside the door just ran over, but she couldn't see the person she wanted to see, she frowned, went out of the main room and returned to the stove.

Although Mrs. Zhang's house is not far from her home, Chugo can go back and forth in half a while, but she still looks at the door from time to time, feeling anxious, especially when she hears the sound of firecrackers outside. There were the noises of the peasant children playing, which agitated her heart even more intolerable.

At this time, the entrance of the courtyard flashed, and Xiu Niang hurriedly looked up, only to see a lean body standing in the courtyard facing the light.

Xiu Niang was stunned when she looked at it, just like the first time they met, she had a healthy wheat complexion, was tall and thin, and was also very handsome, not as rough as she thought, but only as strong as a farmer's man.

Only this time, Chu Ge no longer had an indifferent expression on his face, and there was a gentle smile on his wheat-colored handsome face, and he looked at himself and said, "Xiu Niang, I'm back."

Xiuniang's little heart jumped suddenly, mother, when did this idiot become so attractive, alas, it seems that the two of them can't be left in the family, if there is a baby by my side... Uh, The more I think about it, the further...

Because he was far away, Chu Ge couldn't see Xiu Niang's rosy face clearly. She just glanced at him, then shook her head and kept stirring the pot.

He thought about it and walked into the stove, muttering, "Xiu Niang, I'm back."

Xiu Niang didn't raise her head, she just responded, then scooped up the dumplings from the pot, put them on a plate, and stuffed them for Chu Ge, letting him take them in first.

Chu Ge took the hand, gave Xiu Niang a strange look, then went out without saying a word.

He walked into the main room, looked at the meat and vegetables on the table, and the two steaming dumplings in his hand, his heart suddenly felt warm again.

Xiu Niang waited in the stove for a while, touched her face, and then almost "fever subsided", she went to the wooden cabinet and took out the bowls and chopsticks, smiled and walked towards the main room.

Seeing Xiu Niang coming, Chu Ge put the chair away, but suddenly found that there was an extra small teacup in his hand.

He picked up the small cup, and looked at Xiu Niang beside him with some doubts, "Xiu Niang..."

Xiu Niang looked at the cup in his hand, "Oh, I forgot." She turned around and walked into the stove, and came back after a while, holding a cup stuffed with red cloth in her hand. Small mouth pottery pot, which is a kind of earthen pot wine common in the village.

Chu Ge glanced at the small cup in his hand, he said it looks familiar, isn't this the wine cup Six Brothers often use to drink.

He said dumbly, "Xiu Niang, when did you prepare wine?"

Xiuniang smiled, this is what she asked Mrs. Liu to help with earlier. There is a family in the village that specializes in wine making and trading, but the people who go to buy wine are usually men from the village. Xiuniang is embarrassed to go, so she asked Mrs. Liu , Let her call Ji Laoliu to help her buy and sell a pot.

She unplugged Busse and poured a glass for herself and Chugo, "Isn't it just a new year, we must have wine and meat to eat." She raised the glass and waited for Chugo.

Chu Ge stared at the wine in the glass in front of him, pondered for a while, picked up the wine glass and touched Xiu Niang, and the two drank half of the glass with their heads up.

Xiu Niang saw that Chu Ge was wrinkled, and her mouth seemed to be very spicy. She pursed her lips and smiled, and added a chopstick of meat to him, thinking to herself, this fool is still the same as before, and he can't eat it. wine.

After Chu Ge took a sip of the wine, his mouth was filled with bitterness. He blinked and looked at Xiu Niang, and obediently ate the food in the bowl.

Xiu Niang looked at it and smiled secretly. If outsiders saw this scene just now, their jaws would definitely drop in shock. The couple were drinking, and it was fine for the mother-in-law to drink a big glass. On the contrary, it was the man from the family who blushed .

In fact, Chu Ge understood that Xiu Niang's drinking capacity was much better than that of ordinary people, and he knew this clearly during the two years when he was an apprentice to Mr. Chen.

Because Xiuniang's father is a hunter, he often drinks with good things and eats by himself, but the old man thinks it's boring to drink alone, so he calls his son and daughter to come and drink with him every time he goes to the table They had a drink together, and over time, Xiuniang also had a certain amount of "drinking capacity".

Xiu Niang filled herself with wine, and raised her hand to refill it for Chu Ge, but Chu Ge hurriedly put his hand on the glass and refused to let Xiu Niang pour it again.

He said dumbly, "Xiu Niang, you, don't make it for me, I can't drink much."

Xiu Niang wanted to say something to Chu Ge, but when she saw Chu Ge's pink ears, she felt itchy again. She wondered if Chu Ge drank any more, would those ears turn red? Mile.

Fortunately, Xiu Niang was not so mean-spirited, so she continued a little more for Chu Ge, and said, "Chu Ge, you can't do this, a big man, why can't you drink, if you want to do something in the future What, don't let someone get drunk all at once."

Chu Ge looked at the wine in the glass and thought to himself, is he just a farmer? From now on, besides farming, he will still be farming. What can he do? Only those who negotiate business in restaurants have to drink.

But seeing what Xiu Niang said, Chu Ge still bit the bullet and took a sip from his wine glass.

Xiu Niang was picking up food for Chu Ge, while drinking some wine with him, to be honest, she is really training Chu Ge's drinking capacity now, because she was thinking...

Chu Ge finally drank the wine in the glass, and hurriedly said, "Xiu Niang, I really can't drink anymore, if I have another small glass, I will be drunk."

Seeing that Chu Ge begged for mercy, Xiu Niang put the jug aside, okay, that's it for today, anyway, she bought a few jars, and she will practice slowly later.

She smiled at Chu Ge, and picked a few dumplings for him, "If you don't drink it, don't drink it, then let's eat dumplings, Chu Ge, do you know that the sixth sister-in-law added some dried shrimps to the meat stuffing, but Very fresh..."

Chu Ge helplessly ate the meat dish that Xiu Niang brought over. Although it was good, why would Xiu Niang suddenly let him drink...
