farmhouse ditty

Chapter 13
After washing the bowls and chopsticks, Xiu Niang filled the pot with a few ladles of water, and put on the bamboo that Chu Ge had split first. There was water in the thing, and it boiled slowly enough to warm the pot.

When Xiu Niang came out, she saw that the courtyard was empty, and there was no one in the main room. She was going to call for someone, but suddenly heard the voice of the neighbor, and then remembered that Chu Ge first said that it was Ji Lao Liu. While fetching things, Chu An also followed, and Xiao Xiang'er reckoned that he also asked him to go away.

Finding that she was the only one in the house, Xiu Niang took a look, took the oil lamp from the stove and went back to the West Room first.

She remembered that she brought a wooden box with her when she got married. Anyway, she had nothing on hand, so she searched for a place to put it away. She lifted the wooden lid and looked at it, and she opened her mouth. Packed into a ball, the large and small pieces all escaped through the cover.

Xiu Niang sighed, put the oil lamp aside so that she could see it closer, she rolled up her sleeves and pulled all the clothes onto the bed, picking out the upper ones first, then the smaller ones, and put them in a set. Go to the side, wait for everything to be put away, and then fold it up, so that changing clothes can be done quickly.

Taking advantage of her slippery hands, Xiuniang even put back the wooden box of Chuge and the others. Although the room was dark and unsightly, Xiuniang knew as soon as she got started that her clothes were made of good materials. It felt soft, but Chu Ge and the others' hands were prickly when holding it. They were probably made of hemp thread. These clothes are cool to wear in summer and are good for work, but they are itchy.

Now that she remembered it, the original owner was staring at Chu Ge in disgust, thinking he was tickling him, but now that the aftertaste came, Xiuniang was still reluctant, and secretly said something to the original owner.

I don’t know how much time passed, Chu Ge came back with big bags and small bags. Seeing that the West Room in the main room was still lit, he asked Chu An to go back to the room first with the blue cloth package and Xiao Xiang’er. In the kitchen, turn around and close the door.

He was walking to turn off the lights in the main room, when he heard Chu An's cat calling, "Brother~~~Brother~~~"

Chu Ge looked at Chu An holding Xiao Xiang'er outside the West Room, wondering what this brat was thinking, so he walked over, "An Zi, why don't you go in..."

"Hush!" Chu An hurriedly pressed his mouth, signaling Chu Ge to quietly, and then pointed towards the west room.

Chu Ge stepped forward to take a look, and saw Xiu Niang's hand coming out of the box, circling around the folded clothes on the bed and putting them inside.

The bottom of the big wooden box is low, and Xiu Niang's movements are catty, and it is difficult to straighten up and bend down to look at it. Originally, the work in the house is boring, and the small white face is covered with fine sweat, and it is tender and tender, tender and tender. Ge stared blankly, now Xiuniang is like a lotus in a river pond, very pretty.

Seeing that Chu Ge was silent, he stared at the room with his eyes, his face was as pink as that rice noodle dumpling, Chu An pouted dissatisfiedly, this lazy woman is messing around at home, why is my brother not angry? Lie.

He said aloud, "Brother, why is sister-in-law going through our boxes?"

Chu Ge looked at Chu An and smiled, "I'm folding clothes, come in, little girl."

Chu An was furious, "What do you call a woman, Wu Dazui is called a woman, I'm a boy."

When Xiu Niang heard the sound, her hands paused, she panicked for some reason, she just forgot about it, it's time to take a rest, but the original owner always went to bed early, and the next day she went to bed again. Staying in bed, she doesn't know what happened to Chu Ge this night.

Besides, Chu An Xiaoxiang'er was still there, and the wooden bed in front of her was not too big, so it was impossible for four of them to lie down together.

Although Xiu Niang was married to Chu Ge, and she still felt good after meeting someone today, but she was not Xiu Niang, she was Xiu Niang later, she... oh, what should I do.

Chu Ge didn't know what she was thinking. He took the blue cloth bundle from Chu An and handed it to Xiu Niang, "This is what you want."

The sudden blue in front of her eyes startled Xiuniang, and all her thoughts ran away. She didn't look at Chugo, just took it, and stuffed it into the wooden box when it was done. She didn't have to think about it. Just know the new clothes with emerald flowers on a white background in the blue cloth bag.

A few days ago, Xiu Niang and Chu Ge were arguing about this. Earlier, she saw a very handsome girl wearing this dress in front of his house. It looked so tight.

Xiu Niang asked for it, and Chu Ge also agreed to her, but it would take a few days, when Hei Wazi said something, Xiu Niang ran out in a fuss, and then... There is no more.

Seeing that Xiuniang didn't respond, Chuge thought for a while and said, "Xiuniang, what's still burning on your stove?"

Xiu Niang straightened up abruptly, and ran out in a hurry, "Ah, I forgot, there is still water boiling on my pot."

She went out and took the oil lamp from the main room and put it on the stove, lifted the lid of the pot and saw that the water was boiling, she lowered her head to look at the stove fire, trying to put it out.

When Xiu Niang returned to the West Room, she saw that Chu Ge had built a wooden bed opposite her, with wooden planks on top and three benches on the bottom. Chu An and Xiao Xiang'er helped spread the straw mats to make it softer.

Seeing that she was relieved, it's a good thing, everyone sleeps separately, if she really shares the bed with Chu Ge, she really doesn't know what to do, and she can't accept it.

Seeing the three pillows on the bed, Xiu Niang thought about it and said, "Chu Ge, let Xiao Xiang'er sleep with me later."

Hearing that the three of them were stunned, Xiao Xianger looked at Chu Ge timidly, while Chu An turned his eyes sideways, as if to say, what do you want to do, lazy woman.

Chu Ge didn't know why Xiu Niang said that, but he also thought about it. After all, Xiao Xiang'er was a girl doll, and it would be inappropriate to sleep with him and Er Wazi, so he agreed after thinking about it.

Xiao Xiang'er drooped her small face, looked back at Xiuniang, Xiuniang smiled at her, and said to Chu Ge, "I just boiled the water, first take Xiaoxiang'er Anzi out to wash, and you can also wash it later." come out."

Chugo responded in a low voice, and continued making the bed
*******************
It’s been a big day these few days, Xiu Niang has been busy at home, doing laundry early, carrying a load of water home, boiling it in the yard, waiting for Chu Ge to come back to quench his thirst, although the water in the stream is clear It is transparent, but if conditions permit, it is better to boil it before drinking.

Because the newly built earthen stove in the kitchen room has not yet been solidified, the small stove in the courtyard has to be left behind. Originally, there was only one stove in the east room, which was inconvenient, so Xiu Niang asked Chu Ge to set up another one. Like the good six sister-in-law's family.

Mrs. Liu would go through the house to help when she had nothing to do. She got along well with Xiu Niang, thinking that someone would ask something to relieve her boredom. As soon as she saw Xiu Niang came back from washing, she went to the house with her needle and thread.

Xiuniang and Mrs. Liu were sewing in the west room. She had said earlier that she would learn embroidery from Mrs. Liu, and wanted to take care of Xiaoxiang's clothes.

Mrs. Liu bit off the thread and watched Xiu Niang insert the needle, and then asked, "Sister, where did that idiot Chu Ge go?"

Xiu Niang picks the thread, "Take Chu An to the ground, is there something wrong with Sixth Sister-in-law?"

Mrs. Liu smiled, "There is something to do, but it's about the two of you."

Xiu Niang also smiled, "What can we do?"

Mrs. Liu said, "Don't be fooled. I came here yesterday to help you set up the stove. Seeing that there was something wrong with you two, even your sixth brother could tell and said it was all right."

Xiuniang stopped her hands, Sister-in-law Six's eyes were sharp enough, she and Chu Ge were fine if they had something to say, and if they said it was all right, something really happened that night.

Seeing Xiu Niang's appearance, Liu's heart became more certain, and she said directly.

But at this moment, someone happened to come from outside the courtyard, and was reaching out to knock on the wooden board, "Is Chu Ge there?"
