Chapter 138 Alcohol is not a good thing
Xiu Niang originally wanted to tease Chu Ge, a blunt person, but she didn't realize that this person was quite honest, she knew how to hide without moving her hands, and finally pulled herself down.

"Oh, it hurts..."

Xiu Niang turned her head and put her face on Chugo's chest. She touched her forehead. Although she fell on Chugo's body, her head just hit his collarbone, which really hurt a lot.

She frowned and rubbed her forehead. She suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly raised her face. Just now she and Chugo fell on the bed, and she had such a blunt as a meat pad, but Chugo's back was thick. Although there are some mattresses on the wooden board, who can bear it when it falls down so abruptly, pressing the wooden board with the fleshy back.

"Chugo, how are you..."

Xiu Niang was half stunned when she said that, she saw Chu Ge's handsome face blushing, as if holding his breath, and those black and white eyes, which became foggy for some reason, so straight He stared straight at himself, without the usual awkwardness, as if something was added...

Let Chu Ge stare like this, making Xiu Niang herself a little nervous, she opened her mouth, thinking of saying something more, but at this moment, this stupefied person suddenly grabbed her. taller arm, she choked now.

Chu Ge moved his body a little uncomfortable, and breathed heavily on Xiu Niang's fair neck, tickling...

Xiu Niang felt that Chu Ge was slowly approaching her, she held her breath suddenly, her watery eyes widened, a thought flashed through her, maybe something will happen tonight What?

Chu Ge panted, leaning closer to Xiu Niang, "Xiu, Xiu Niang..."

Xiu Niang breathed a sigh of relief, and finally responded, "Huh?"

Chu Ge looked at Xiu Niang's pretty little face, and for some reason, his throat rolled, and he said something with difficulty.

"Xiu, Xiu Niang, you... I have a stomachache."

Xiu Niang was stunned, "What?"

Chu Ge raised his hand and pointed forward, and said in a muffled voice, "You're pressing on my stomach, well, it's so uncomfortable..."

Xiu Niang listened for a while, then looked down, and saw herself leaning forward, her slender waist was just pressing on Chu Ge's stomach, she blinked, looked at Chu Ge, and hurriedly turned over and sat aside.

She turned her back to Chu Ge, and when she heard those breaths of relief, she grinned and wrinkled her little face, and secretly knocked her own head. …

Chu Ge sat up clutching his stomach. He looked at Xiu Niang's thin back, with no expression on his dull face, and stood up with his long legs touching the ground.

Feeling the movement behind her, Xiu Niang couldn't help but pause again. She turned her head slightly, and saw Chu Ge walking to the opposite side, leaning over to pick up the basin of hot water in front of her.

Seeing Chu Ge turn around, she hurriedly straightened her head, Chu Ge said to Xiu Niang dumbly, "Xiu Niang, you, you rest first, I'll go to the main room..."

Xiu Niang sat on the edge of the bed, and she replied without turning her head, "Oh, yes, there is still hot water on the stove, if there is not enough, I will fill it up. The clothes are all in the yard, and I haven't confiscated them yet." Get up."

In the past, Chu Ge used to bathe in the creek, but recently it was cold and the water in the creek was too cold, so Xiu Niang called him to wash it at home, and boiled some hot water on the stove by herself. , Go to the main room and close the door, so that you can have a good wash.

Anyway, Shen's family has moved out, the couple are the only ones in the house, Xiu Niang takes a bath in the back room, Chu Ge is in the main room, there is nothing to be particular about.

After hearing what Xiu Niang said, Chu Ge also responded, and then went out with hot water.

It wasn't until she heard the sound of the door closing that Xiu Niang turned her head boldly. She looked at the empty back room and sighed, pursed her lips to reflect inwardly. I have played tricks on Chu Ge a few times... Hey, it is good that the target is Chu Ge. If it is not in this ancient times, it is someone else, I guess I can't stand a mother-in-law like her long ago.

Thinking of this, Xiu Niang sighed again, opened her hands and lay down on the bed, looking at the newly repaired roof, ah, I don't know what Chu Ge thinks of her...

Chu Ge went out of the back room, and took a look in the yard. Fortunately, he had left a lamp in the main room just now, so he could use the light to pass by now.

He walked a few steps into the main room, put down the wooden basin nearby, turned around and closed the door, but he didn't move, but just stood there.

Chu Ge rested his hands on the wooden board. After a while, he was relieved. He scratched his head with a burning face and muttered in a low voice. He almost reached out his hand to hug Xiu Niang when he was in the room just now. Well, fortunately, I don't drink much wine today, or... Hey, this wine is really not a good thing.

----------

Chu Ge used up all the hot water on the stove. Although he didn't sweat a lot today, he was quite comfortable after scrubbing, and felt very smooth all over.

He put the changed clothes in a wooden basin and put them on the edge of the courtyard wall. This is the place where Xiu Niang called for dirty clothes. If there are clothes to be washed at home, he put them there, so that Xiu Niang can find time. Take it to the stream and wash it off.

Chu Ge walked around the courtyard, seeing that the wooden bolt of the courtyard door was bolted, and there were no more sparks in the stove, so he went back to the main room with the extinguished oil lamp, and went to the inner room.

The door of the inner room was ajar, Chu Ge pushed it aside and went in, suddenly saw Xiu Niang still sitting on the edge of the bed, flipping through a small book and reading.

"Xiu Niang, why haven't you slept yet?" After working in the courtyard of the main room for a while, Chu Ge had already forgotten what happened just now, and he still asked dully.

Xiu Niang looked up at Chu Ge, knowing Chu Ge's temperament, she closed the small book, and stuffed it under the pillow while talking.

She still smiled, "I'm not waiting for you."

Chu Ge heard Xiu Niang's non-joking tone, closed the door, and went over to say, "Xiu Niang, what are you waiting for me?"

Xiu Niang sat up straight and asked, "Chuge, you're going to the town today, didn't you go to the backstreet, what did those wood shops say, are they going to carry waste?"

At first, she thought that if there was no way to go to the wood shop to collect waste that Chu Ge said, at least Shi Laodao's woodland could be used as a source of washboard materials, but Liu told her earlier, She bought the forest land and gave it to her younger brother, so now, she has to hold down the wooden row first.

Chu Ge looked at her and said, "Xiu Niang, if you don't tell me, I'd forget that there are only four or five of the ten or so wood shops in the back street that can sell us wood."

Xiu Niang paused, "Four or five? Why are there so few? I was thinking that there would be at least two hands (ten)."

She had heard from shopkeeper Tian earlier that there used to be a dozen or so wood shops in the back street, but there were several small ones in front of and behind the back alley, so there were more than a dozen. There are ten or so houses, but only four or five are carrying waste wood.

Xiu Niang thought something was wrong, she looked at Chu Ge, "Chu Ge, there are more than [-] wood shops in this back street and back alley, did you find them all in the morning?"

Chu Ge said bluntly, "I only went to a few big wood shops, and I didn't go to those small wood shops and small workshops."

Xiu Niang asked suspiciously, "Why do you only go to the big wooden shop? Those small workshops also have scraps left?"

Chu Ge told Xiu Niang, "Xiu Niang, there are a few new wood shops in the back alley, but they are all small workshops, and the plates are small and not big, so you have to save all the work and materials. .”

Xiu Niang still didn't understand. She shook her head at Chu Ge, "If you save it, you can save it. Their small workshops can't use all the big boards."

Chu Ge said, "It's impossible to use all of them, but they can pick up a few pieces of those waste wood and put them together to make a new one or something. Didn't you tell me to use a piece of wood?" Is it a whole piece of wood, then what they (small workshops) have left is just some scattered pieces of wood, and no one wants those who buy and sell them as firewood for restaurants.”

Xiu Niang listened to what Chu Ge said, thinking about it, those small workshops seldom receive carpentry work from the big mansion, they just do some small work for the surrounding restaurants and farmers, making some chairs, benches, and boards. Don't be too attractive, as long as it can be used.In this case, in order to make more money, those small workshops can of course "utilize waste" vigorously.

But she thought about it and said again, "Chu Ge, what you said just now is reasonable, but, but the waste wood produced by those big wood companies is hard to achieve so much. Although they say that the plates are big, the cost is also high. They Wouldn't it be like those small workshops, keeping waste materials for woodworking?"

Chu Ge flicked his foot, and it looked like it was completely dry, so he put it under the quilt, "Their big wood companies wanted to do this, but they were afraid of smashing the brand, so they didn't think about it."

Xiu Niang asked, "Smash the brand, what can you do to smash the brand?"

"If it were you, you spent a lot of money to order a set of furniture in the garden wood store, but when you got it home, it looked like it was patched here and there, then you would still What are you going to buy and sell in the garden wood shop?"

Xiu Niang said bluntly, "Then I won't go. If I don't give them back the 'one patch in the east, one piece in the west' belongings, then they should be laughing."

Chu Ge smiled, looked at Xiu Niang, "Isn't that right?"

Xiu Niang stared at Chu Ge for a moment, hey, you're such a fool, you know how to make inferences.

She smiled at him and said, "Then what you said is so lively, is it your own guess or is it true."

The old people have said that if you do one thing and know one thing, this Chu Ge is just a farmer and a hunter, how can he know what is going on in the wooden shop.

Chu Ge pulled the quilt over and said disapprovingly, "Earlier, I was an apprentice at Yuanmuhang for half a year, but then Chu An and Xiao Xiang'er came, and I thought about taking care of them, I went back to the village."

After listening to Chu Ge's words, Xiu Niang knew that he was talking about the time when he drove Shen Shi out and lived alone in Xiayang Village, but she felt relieved to see Chu Ge now, because Chu Ge can now Don't care about talking about it...
