farmhouse ditty

Chapter 144 But there is?

Mrs. Liu drove the ox cart out of the town. She smiled and looked back at the cloth on the cart. There were floral fine cloth, monochromatic thick cloth, and soft cotton cloth. It can be said that there were some in the cloth shop. They asked her to get some.

Sitting in the car, she couldn't help laughing with Xiu Niang, "Hehehe, sister, take a look, these fabrics are so good, if they are left in the usual place, they will cost you a lot of money, and they won't be too expensive when they get here." Let's unravel the rags like this..."

Xiu Niang was sitting by the side, she smiled and didn't answer. When she was rushing past earlier, she just took a look at that cloth shop, because the bosses and buddies of the surrounding cloth shops were all sitting at the door, and that one was the only one that was crowded. full of people.

Mrs. Liu talked, grabbed the hemp rope and touched Xiu Niang, "Hey, sister, why were you watching from the sidelines just now, and you didn't rush into the shop, look at you, you didn't buy any fabrics what?"

Xiu Niang looked at Mrs. Liu and smiled, "Hey, what should I buy? I don't know how to make clothes."

In fact, she went there at first because she wanted to visit the cloth shop. She doesn't care about making clothes, but at least she can make a piece of cloth for Chu Ge. He often goes up and down to work in the fields. very.

But when Xiu Niang approached and found Mrs. Liu, seeing her squeeze in sideways, pulling the bullock cart with one hand, and grabbing the flowered cloth on the cloth stall with the other, asking the price, that was really uncomfortable. , She looked at it and talked a little, helping Mrs. Liu look at the car outside.

Mrs. Liu looked at Xiuniang half-complainingly, "Tsk, you girl is very stingy, what's the matter? Look at your sixth sister-in-law who is thin and lacks energy, but there are two strong mothers-in-law and aunts next to me who can't squeeze me, hehehe..."

Listening to Liu's hearty laughter, Xiu Niang laughed too. She leaned on the handlebar of the car and looked at the front idly. Suddenly, her eyes blurred, and two bundles fell into her arms.

She blinked and blinked, and looked at Liu Shi beside her in a strange way.

Mrs. Liu smiled at her, "I know you're a stingy woman, and I pulled some cloth for you and Chu Geer just after putting it in the cloth shop."

After hearing this, Xiuniang hurriedly pushed the cloth in her arms to Mrs. Liu, "Hey, sister-in-law Liu, what's the deal? You should take it back and give it to Hei Wazi and Da Ya..."

Mrs. Liu stretched out one hand and pressed the cloth on Xiuniang's body, laughing while driving the bullock cart.

"Hey, what's the matter? Don't worry about it. I didn't give it to you for free. You have to count the money for me when you get home."

Xiu Niang looked at it and said, "Then, then I will thank Mrs. Six first."

Mrs. Liu smiled, "Hey, sister, your skin is white and tender. I'll pull some floral cloth for you, and my brother will pull some monochromatic cloth. What kind of old man, just hold it upside down." It's... hey, sister, can I ask you something?"

Xiu Niang stretched out her hand to touch the two pieces of fabric, it was quite soft, she listened to what Liu said and looked up at her.

Before Mrs. Liu wanted to ask questions, she first looked around to see if there was anyone around. Xiuniang couldn't figure it out, so she followed Mrs. Liu to look around.

Waiting for the mule cart behind to pass by and go away, Mrs. Liu smiled and leaned closer to Xiu Niang, and Xiao Mo said in a low voice, "Hey, sister, do you have it?"

Xiu Niang said so much that she took a deep breath, then choked and coughed, "What, sister-in-law six, cough cough...cough cough..."

Mrs. Liu hurriedly patted Xiu Niang's back with one hand, giving her comfort, "Hey, sister, why don't you speak slowly, why are you in such a hurry."

Xiu Niang swallowed her breath, and turned to Liu with a blushing face, not sure if it was a cough, or——

"Sister-in-law Six, do you have what, you, what are you talking about?"

Seeing Xiuniang's burning face, Mrs. Liu raised her eyebrows, "It looks like not yet."

Xiu Niang pursed her lips and muttered softly, "Of course not."

Liu curled her lips and chattered, looked at Xiuniang and herself, and chattered again.

"I'm still wondering, when did that old aunt change her sex... Sister, I'm talking about your mother-in-law, but that old aunt has been staring at you... Do you remember that earlier, your mother-in-law lived a life of her own? Come to the house, I always bring you some sour plums, isn't that just to see if you have a reaction."

Xiuniang heard what Mrs. Liu said, and then she thought about it. Since Mrs. Wen gave birth to a baby girl, Mrs. Shen has come to her for half a month. She didn't say anything at first, just Later, she always came over with some sour food, and sometimes stared at her belly.

Could it be that Mrs. Chen saw that Mrs. Wen had given birth to a second child and was afraid that she would not be able to hold her grandson, so she paid attention to her. Could it be that Mrs. Shen wanted to see that she had no children yet and hold her back? Can I ask Chu Ge for a child on this one, but she and Chu Ge have been married for less than a year, even if she is not pregnant yet, there is nothing to say.

After Mrs. Liu finished talking, she looked at Xiuniang as if nothing had happened. She said, pointing to Xiuniang's stomach, "Hey, sister, you have to hurry up on this matter."

When Xiu Niang heard what Mrs. Liu said, her face burned up again. Although she was not from this era, she would not be ashamed if she was wrong, but she still had a good opinion of the matter between the husband and wife. If you are reserved, let's talk about it, it's two people's business to have a baby, but Chu Ge is just a piece of wood.

You can't call her a woman in this matter between the beds, so put Chugo on the bow. Anyway, she knows that Chugo also has feelings for her, but she always feels that Chugo seems to be It's like worrying about something.

Sigh, forget it, now is not the time to think about it, she has to mess up her and Chu Ge's store first...

----------

Xiuniang and Mrs. Liu returned to Xiayang Village. After getting off the car, Xiuniang chatted with Mrs. Liu, and wanted to enter the courtyard with the cloth, but seeing that the gate was locked, she knew that Chu Ge must be sending Mrs. Shen back. .

She took out the key to open the door, put the cloth on after entering the house, washed her face and tied the apron, went to the stove to wash the rice and put it in the pot, and started to make dinner.

Xiuniang washed and cut the meat she bought at Shi Laodao in the morning, and then found two pieces of young ginger, thinking about making a plate of fried pork with shredded ginger at night, so that she can have dinner.

She set the fire to cook the rice first, then washed and sliced ​​the meat, added soy sauce starch, a little salt, stirred it evenly with chopsticks, and set it aside.

The earthen stove used for cooking took some time. She took advantage of this time to go out and tidy up the yard. When she came back, she saw that the rice was almost done, so she used a kitchen knife to cut up the young ginger and shredded pork. The pan starts to stir-fry.

Chu Ge carried a small jug of wine and was almost home. He suddenly smelled the aroma of stir-fried pork with shredded ginger. He raised the corner of his mouth and took a few steps to the yard, "Xiu Niang, you are back."

Xiu Niang looked back at the courtyard, she looked at Chu Ge and smiled, and said, "I'm back, wash your hands first, you can eat soon."

Chu Ge responded, put the small wine pot in the corner, and walked to the side of the water tank with the wooden basin.

Xiuniang fried the sliced ​​meat, put it aside, then scooped some oil into the pot, put shredded ginger and a little salt and stir-fried until it became fragrant, then poured the sliced ​​meat in and fried it for a while.

Chu Ge helped bring the bowls and chopsticks, as well as the fried shredded ginger pork slices to the main room, and Xiu Niang washed the pot and made a pot of egg soup. This dish and soup was the dinner for the two of them.

Xiu Niang came over again with a spoon for the two of them, and saw that Chu Ge had finished the meal and was sitting waiting for her to come.

She looked at it with a smile, handed the spoon to Chu Ge, and sat opposite him, "Eat."

Chu Ge watched Xiu Niang eat, he also picked up the bowl, took a big mouthful of rice and started eating.

Xiu Niang drank a spoonful of soup, thought about it, and said, "Chu Ge, where did you go after you sent your mother-in-law back?" She could see that Chu Ge was carrying a small jug of wine when he came back.

Chu Ge swallowed a mouthful of food, and said, "Xiuniang, I just went to Uncle Li, and I chatted with him for a while."

Xiu Niang asked, "Then you went to chat with Uncle Li, and you came back with a jug of wine?"

Chu Ge said, "Back then, Uncle Li had nothing to do, so he made a few wooden barrels by himself, and partnered with Uncle Xu to brew a few barrels of wine. Now it's time, so Uncle Li gave it to me. A pot told me to try it."

After hearing this, Xiu Niang twitched her mouth, well, the two strange old men got together, so they will not be idle, and this Uncle Li will not talk about it, but this Uncle Xu is also a headache.

This Uncle Xu is an expert at brewing wine. There are several houses in the village, but he makes the best wine. All the people in the village go to buy wine from him, and the other houses can only sell the wine in the town. .

Although Xiu Niang has never drunk the wine brewed by Uncle Xu, she has heard that even the big households outside are begging to buy it with money.

And the reason why Xiuniang said he was weird was because he also had a weird temper. He watched people from outside come into the village to buy wine, but he only tasted it and didn't sell it, saying that it was only sold to people in Xiayang Village.

I heard Ji Laoliu say before that there is a reason for Uncle Xu to do this, he just wanted to make the people in the town outside hungry, so that they would be greedy for the people in Xiayang Village.

Xiu Niang smiled secretly, and said, "Chu Ge, go talk to that Uncle Li, have you told him that you want him to come to our shop to be a carpenter after a while?"

Chu Ge responded, and then said nothing, "En."

Xiu Niang looked at Chu Ge, thinking that the old man would definitely agree so easily, Chu Ge reckoned he was deflated, "Chu Ge, don't worry about it, this Uncle Li doesn't agree this time, let's go next time, if he ..."

"Xiuniang, Uncle Li, he agreed."

"...If you still don't agree, then I will go... Ah, what?"

Xiu Niang was talking, when she suddenly heard Chu Ge's words, she was a little puzzled.

"I just talked to Uncle Li today, and he agreed."

This is the old man.

"However, Uncle Li said that he only makes things he wants to make."

This old man!
