farmhouse ditty

Chapter 183

Xiu Niang tidied up the yard and the south house where the wood was piled up, and spread a straw mat and a thin quilt on the ground, so that at least she could lie down and sleep for a while, so that her back would not hurt in the morning.

"Alright, bring Chu An and Xiang'er in."

As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Ge and Chu Fu came in. The two brothers hugged Chu An and Xiao Xiang'er, and put them gently on the thin quilt.

Chu Fu smiled honestly, and said, "These two brats, they heard that they were coming to the town yesterday, and they had a row all night, no, they are too happy now..."

Xiu Niang found a quilt to cover the two of them, Chu Fu looked at Xiu Niang dully, seeing that his brother and sister had no anger on his face, he didn't dare to say anything, took a look at Chu Ge and went out.

Chu Ge looked at Xiu Niang, and called her dumbly, "Xiu Niang..."

Xiu Niang got up and looked at Chu Ge, "Chu Ge, I just want to ask you something, did you tell the mother-in-law and them?"

Chugo paused, "What?"

Xiu Niang said, "Did you tell the mother-in-law and the others that we opened a noodle shop in the town?"

Chu Ge shook his head, "No, we've been very busy recently, haven't I been back to Xiayang Village yet?"

Xiuniang asked again, "Then you let Guixi go back to the village to talk about it?"

Chu Ge shook his head again, "No."

Xiu Niang nodded in response, and tucked the sheets for Chu An and Xiao Xiang'er. Since it wasn't Chu Ge who called Shen Shi and the others, she would have something to say later.

Chu Fu coughed outside. After all, Chu Ge and Xiu Niang were in the room. If the two of them were whispering something, it would not be good for him to step in.

Xiu Niang and Chu Ge heard the sound, looked back and saw Chu Fu holding a three or four-year-old little girl walking in, talked to Chu Ge twice, and put the little girl beside Xiang'er, Then he gently pulled the quilt and covered her.

Xiu Niang glanced at it, thinking that this child should be Chu Fu's big girl named Huahua, "Brother, you brought Huahua Street here."

Seeing that Xiuniang was willing to talk to him, Chu Fu smiled, "Hey, after Juan'er's confinement, I'll go to Huahua's grandma's house and bring her here."

Xiu Niang smiled and nodded, looking at Hua Hua's peaceful sleeping face, "Take it, all right, my baby, does he have to live with his parents?"

Hearing what Xiu Niang said, Chu Fu's face changed. He thought of the earlier incident when Mrs. Shen and Mr. Chu let Chu Ge live alone in Xiayang Village, and he suddenly felt very guilty. Did he say that on purpose? Anyway, Chu Fu heard it.

He said with some embarrassment, "Brother, brother and sister, my mother said earlier that she would come over, and I told him not to come, really."

Xiu Niang and Chu Ge glanced at each other, she is an honest uncle, honestly she is pretty good, but she is suppressed by her own mother and daughter-in-law, she has no idea at all, so she shouldn't face him with a straight face up.

"Okay, big brother, just come, I'll see Huahua soon."

"Brothers and sisters, our two families have been separated now, we shouldn't come here..."

"Brother, my mother-in-law has always been like this. She is thinking about what to do. What's the use of what you say."

Chu Fu lowered his head and nodded numbly, "Oh, yes."

Xiu Niang just smiled, moved the chair in front of her and put it to the side, she thought about it, and asked in a casual tone, "Hey, brother, did mother-in-law say what she was doing in town yesterday? "

Chu Fu glanced at Chu Ge, "No, didn't say anything, last night, Mother just said that she would come to town to see you two."

Xiu Niang turned her back to Chu Ge and the others and grinned, how could this Shen family be so kind, she didn't know what she wanted to do again.

In the afternoon, Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Chu came over without saying a word. Although they just carried a basket of food, they didn't carry big bags and small bags like they did in Xiayang Village before, and they yelled to scream. She moved in, but she was still very unhappy watching it. If it weren't for the guys in the yard watching, she really didn't want to give them a good look. What.

After all, they were all in the town at the moment, not in Xiayang Village. She didn't want to lose face from Xiayang Village to the town, so she called Mrs. Shen and the others to rest first.

Thinking this way, Xiu Niang glanced at the corner of the room, where there were three beddings piled up, and Mrs. Shen and the others were going to sleep later, so let them go to bed by themselves. These beddings were bought by Qiaoer from her house earlier, with her My sister-in-law brought it here.

"Well, brothers, younger siblings," Chu Fu said dully, "Then, my parents have made tea, and I just asked you to come out to drink tea."

Chu Ge responded, Chu Fu went out first, Xiu Niang kept the oil lamp in the house, and Chu Ge dragged her when she was about to go out.

Xiu Niang glanced at Chu Ge, sighed secretly, and pushed Chu Ge's hand away, "I see, let's go out."

She knew what he was thinking in his heart, and Chu Ge also knew that she was angry. After all, people like Shen would go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing. It's just him and Xiu Niang.

It was nothing more than that Mrs. Shen saw that Chu Ge had opened a workshop in the town, and wanted to get some... Sigh, but Mrs. Shen and Mr. Chu were his parents after all, so what could he do.

Chu Ge grabbed Xiu Niang just now, and he didn't want to go out for a while, she and his old mother got angry.

Facing Chu Ge, Xiu Niang can only follow him. Besides, she has too many things to deal with this time. On the one hand, there is no wood to start work, and on the other hand, Second Master Yang is trying to squeeze him out. She is now , I don't have the time to get angry with Shen Shi, as long as Shen Shi doesn't get angry...

Xiu Niang and Chu Ge came to the courtyard. During the meal earlier, there was no room for a dozen of them in the main room, so Chu Ge and Chu Fu moved the tables and chairs to the courtyard.

Shen Shi and the others are still sitting there at the moment (Old man Li finished his meal early, and went out for a stroll after talking), Wen Shi is sitting next to Chu Fu, with a baby in his arms, but this time I guess he fell asleep.

When Shen saw Xiu Niang coming, she smiled and said a few words, nothing more than saying that she had put away the table after eating, washed the bowls in the stove, and put two pots of water in the stove for drinking. Tea is enough for washing.

Xiu Niang and Chu Ge sat at the table, she just responded lightly and didn't continue the conversation. She was busy with cooking in the morning, and had to clean up the house when she was done. Well, she has to wait until she finishes her work.

Father Chu was holding a bong, and seeing Shen's face turning black because Xiuniang ignored her, he quickly cleared his throat, and pointed to a few teacups on the table, "Wait Chu, from the second family, come here!" Try this tea, I played chess with my second uncle a while ago, and he gave it to me, saying it was a new tea brought by his eldest son."

Seeing Father Chu, Chu Ge responded, picked up the tea and drank it, and Xiu Niang also took a casual sip.

Holding the baby in her arms, Wen looked at Xiuniang, and said with a smile, "Second brother, second brother and sister, my mother-in-law and I came to visit the house a while ago, and we saw that the door was locked, so we went to the old six's house to ask , The two of them just said that you went to the town to buy mountain goods, but it didn't happen, I haven't seen you in the past few months, but you went to the town and made a big deal."

Chu Ge didn't speak, and Xiu Niang put the teacup on the table, just said "hmm" and didn't continue.

Wen Shi looked at Xiu Niang's indifferent look and didn't care, "Second brother and sister, I see that your shop is quite big, how is the business going?"

Xiu Niang smiled at Shang Wen, "It's not that bad."

Wen's paused for a moment, then smiled, she was not Shen, she would get angry if she couldn't say a word, "Hey, second brother and sister, it seems that you have done a big business, you don't care about it, it's hard Could it be that you look down on our poor relatives in the countryside."

Xiu Niang laughed, and looked away, "I don't know who it is. At first, I tried every means to drive the little one out to occupy the big house, and then begged for nothing to break into other people's houses. When I got there, I helped them find the big house. I patted my butt and left again, without even saying thank you..."

As she said that, she looked at Wen Shi and sneered, "Who the hell is looking down on someone?"

Begging for nothing, Wen twitched the corners of his mouth, "Oh, second brother and sister, what you're talking about is all about sesame seeds and rotten millet, let's talk about it again, my big house used to be a pillar of human beings, I heard The people in the village said that the pillars were in a hurry to move away, and the price of that room was eight or nine taels, but you sold it to me for 25 taels. After all, you made a net profit of more than ten Two silvers, what business do you think is so profitable now?"

Shen gritted her teeth, and stared at Xiu Niang with her old mouth pursed. Just hearing this made her feel very distressed. That was a dozen taels of white money.

Xiu Niang smiled, could it be that Shen and Wen are thinking about coming to autumn to settle accounts?There is no door!

"Zhuzi sold the house because he was in a hurry to move to Shangyang Village. If he had the patience to drag it on for 20 days, it would be the same price. Besides, the 25 taels is not my offer. It’s opened by a woman who sells groceries in the town, and I’m just running errands for my elder brother, so why do you say that I earned the money?”

Wen's heart was thinking that Xiuniang was responsible for it, but she couldn't say anything, so she had to pretend she didn't hear it, anyway, she didn't come here for this matter.

Chu Ge took a look at Xiu Niang and said, "Father, Mother, why do you all think you're going to come to town today?"

Mrs. Shen was about to speak at first, but Father Chu preempted him. He bit his cigarette holder and said, "Hey, it's not like your elder brother has been out of work for the past two days, so I was just thinking about going to town with my family, so I can catch up." Let's come and see you two, hehe, my baby is quite capable, and I have built such a big workshop in the town..."

Father Chu laughed as he spoke, his lips were a little bit from ear to ear, and he said to Xiuniang, "The second son's family, you should guard Chu Wazi, well..."

For her father-in-law, Xiuniang still respects her very much, she smiled at Father Chu, "Elder-in-law, it's tomorrow, I'll call a buddy and take you to the town for a couple of days, when it's over, I'll go Let them drive you back to Xiayang Village..."

Father Chu responded with a smile, Chu Fu didn't show anything when he heard that, but Shen Shi and Wen Shi didn't do it.

Shen straightened up, "Hey, no, I'm not here to visit the town, I'm..."

Wen Shi held the baby in his arms, and also moved to say something. Father Chu had a sullen face, and knocked on the table a few times with the cigarette stick.

"It's done, what are you shouting about, I'm going to sleep!"

After he finished talking, he yelled at Mrs. Chen and the others to go to bed. This matter is considered to be over...
