Chapter 194

Xiu Niang brought Chu An and Xiao Xiang'er back to the workshop, and when they saw whoever they saw, they said they were going to go to a private school, which made the guys in the yard stop and talk to them. sentence.

Chu Ge and old man Li walked around from time to time, pointing out details to a few other guys. Chu Fu was also sitting among them. His movements were a little rusty, but he learned it quite quickly. Have you watched these guys working in the yard?

The mother-in-law of the second Wang's family saw Chu An and Xiao Xiang'er in the stove, and she knew that Xiuniang was back, so she came out to say hello.

Xiu Niang responded, and saw a fire rising in the stove, and the cauldron on the top of the stove started to smoke, presumably it must be from the Wang Er's family, who had packed the pork ribs bought at noon and put them in the pot.

In fact, it is not difficult to cook ribs soup, just boil the bones and ribs in hot water to remove the blood foam, and then put them in the pot to cook.

However, the cleaning at the beginning was exhausting enough. Xiuniang and the others didn’t have large knives or wooden blocks in their workshop. When they bought bones at the butcher’s shop, they had the butcher in the shop chop them up in advance. The surface of the wooden pier has been chopped in a mess for a long time. Once the ribs are placed on it, it will be stained with a lot of sawdust. No matter how you wash it, it can’t be cleaned. get rid of.

This work is troublesome and labor-intensive, so when Xiu Niang bought ribs earlier, she hurriedly called Wang Er's family to take them back and tidy them up, so as not to be late for lunch.

But Xiuniang didn't expect that Wang Er's family's hands and feet were so fast, and this trouble was cooked, she smiled and praised her.

The mother-in-law and aunt of Wang Er's family glanced into the stove, and said with a smile, "Sister Xiu, my hands and feet are not as fast as yours. I didn't do this."

Xiu Niang looked at her, "Oh, who made that?"

Wang Er's family smiled and said, "Isn't it just your sister-in-law? She saw me washing in the well earlier, so she came out of the south room, chatted with me for a while, and then went to boil some hot water. , said it would be faster to wash like this.”

Xiu Niang just nodded when she heard this, but she didn't feel surprised, because the Wen family didn't know what happened these two days, and didn't stay in the house. Cooking in the stove.

"Hey, brother and sister, I'm back," Wen said, holding some firewood into the stove, looking at the vegetable basket beside Xiuniang, and said, "Well, are you eating cabbage today? Sister Wang, let's pick the vegetables first. Bar."

The mother-in-law of the second Wang's family glanced at Xiuniang, saw that she just nodded, took the vegetable basket, and went to the stove with Wen.

Xiuniang looked at Wen's thoughtfully, and then looked back at Chu Fu who was working in the yard, feeling more and more that these two couples were very strange.

When this Wen family left Yang Village before, he always had a reason to stay still, but now he is willing to work on his own initiative, and this Chu Fu, wasn’t he the last one who had no idea, Wen Shi He didn't dare to go west when he said east, and he didn't dare to go east when Mrs. Shen said west, but that night, he would refute Mrs. Chen and talk about his own thoughts.

Thinking of this, Xiu Niang pursed her lips, and then looked at Chu Ge who was talking to Old Man Li in front of her. This idiot was also very strange that night. Why didn't she let her talk? Let's finish talking first.

She thought about it and walked over, "Chu Ge, come over here, I have something to tell you..."

"Oh, Xiu Niang, I also have something to tell you."

Hearing Xiu Niang's voice, Chu Ge looked up at her, said while holding Xiu Niang's hand, and walked towards the shop. The land was small and no one was going there.

Seeing that there were no people around, he said, "Xiu Niang, Uncle Li told me just now that the house you rented from Mrs. Cao has almost enough wooden boards for us to use. Maybe it will be used up in two days. Didn't you say earlier that someone will send us wood later, when will that person come?"

Xiu Niang was taken aback when she heard this, she had said this to Chu Ge earlier, but how did she know that she would be so old.

"I-I don't know about this. I guess it's almost here. How about we go to the wood shops in the town to collect some and give the money first?"

Chu Ge shook his head, "No way, Xiu Niang, the day before yesterday, Uncle Li saw that the wood in the house was almost gone, so he told San'er and the others to take it away, but, let's not be a step too late..."

"Why, it's possible that the garden wood company took it away again." Xiu Niang looked at Chu Ge and nodded. What kind of people are they? I have been staring at the wood in the north mountain, and they are here to grab the wood from us, hmph, tomorrow we will also go to the north mountain to fix the wood."

Seeing Xiu Niang's childish look, Chu Ge smiled, "Xiu Niang, do you think that the wood in the mountains to the north is the same as that in our town, you've packed the bark, roots, trunks and leaves for you, and then chopped Is there a board for you to use?"

"Isn't it?" Xiu Niang looked at Chu Ge, she didn't know what those people who bought and sold timber were doing, but guessed it was about the same,
Chu Ge looked at Xiu Niang, and said dumbly, "Of course not, they cut down the tree..."

Xiu Niang couldn't help giving him a look, "Okay, okay, I understand, you don't need to tell me the details."

Chu Ge was halfway talking, and after listening to Xiu Niang's words, he didn't continue, but he changed another word, "Then Xiu Niang, what about our wood, do you think we should go to remind people. "

Xiu Niang pursed her lips, "There's no need to urge, and there's nothing to urge, she's far away from us."

Chu Ge didn't have a big reaction, but he replied in a bit of disappointment, "Oh."

Xiu Niang looked at Chu Ge like that, thought about it, and said, "Chu Ge, don't worry too much, the person I mentioned will definitely come, don't worry, let's talk about it, you will also come to that person." know."

Chugo asked, "Who?"

Xiu Niang smiled, "When the time comes, you will know, maybe it will only be a day or two."

Chu Ge said dumbly again, "Oh, then Xiu Niang, you should think of another way.

Xiu Niang also responded casually, "Hey, I see, let me think about it again... Hey, you, why don't you think of something yourself."

Chu Ge said dumbly, "It's too brain-intensive to come up with a plan. If I try again, I'm not as smart as Xiu Niang."

After hearing this, Xiu Niang stared at him with her eyes wide open, she was so stupid, she could say such a thing, let others spend their brains trying to come up with a plan, and she idly stood aside by herself, this is not a good idea What!
She pointed at what Chu Ge was about to say, when she listened to Chu Ge and asked, "Xiu Niang, what you said just now, you have something to tell me, what is it?"

Xiu Niang paused, turned around in her mind, and suddenly remembered, "Oh, I forgot about this, I just want to tell you, don't you think that big brother is a little weird, that night I'm getting angry with my mother-in-law."

Chu Ge laughed at this meeting, "I forgot to tell you about this, since the second day my parents came here, my eldest brother told me that my mother came here just to get my eldest brother Work as a foreman or something in our workshop."

Xiu Niang couldn't help but cast a glance, Shen's calculation was too sophisticated, and she wanted to get the lotus out, how could there be such a good job in this world that you can get money without working.

She thought about it and said, "The elder brother told you, why don't you tell me?"

Chu Ge said bluntly, "There were a lot of things going on in the shop at that time, so I didn't say anything because I was afraid that you would be upset. Let's go on, if I told you at that time, you might run to find your mother to quarrel... Talk about it."

Being talked about, Xiu Niang didn't have anything to say, she just chattered angrily, "Then, why did the elder brother tell you, he wouldn't just let the mother-in-law come (rattling)... talk to us. "

"Xiu Niang, I just didn't want to take advantage of us when I talked about this matter with my elder brother. We two brothers chattered for a long time that time. I can see that my elder brother was still in the early years. Let me and Chu An Xiao Xiang'er felt ashamed about going to Xiayang Village to live..."

"Actually, he hasn't been feeling well these years." Chu Ge sighed slightly, and glanced at Chu Fu in the yard.

Xiu Niang pursed her lips, and said this in her heart, what's the use of being ashamed in his heart, it's your wife and his aunt who kicked you out, it's only useful if they both feel ashamed!
Chu Ge also said, "The big brother said that when he came from the village earlier, he quit his job in the rice noodle warehouse and wanted to take a part-time job here. Same thing."

Xiu Niang nodded when she heard this, but she still murmured in her heart, isn't this Chu Fu pretending to be cowardly, working in her brother's workshop, why should he carry sacks in that rice noodle warehouse?

But she nagged a few words like this, she was just complaining, it was good for Chu Fu to think this way, anyway, she was working and eating with her own hands.

Chu Ge looked at Xiu Niang while talking, "Xiu Niang, what do you mean?"

Xiu Niang looked at Chu Ge, and said, "There's nothing wrong with this, isn't the elder brother still our elder brother, and when the end of the year, we can't do nothing for him, can we?" Besides, he is working very hard , Can it be done without wages? Then Chu Fu will have no money to support Shen, so she will have to make trouble.

Chu Ge looked at Xiu Niang and smiled, he knew that Xiu Niang was the most reasonable, "Xiu Niang, you..."

"The shopkeeper, the shopkeeper..."

A clerk from the front cabinet came in while shouting, and when he opened the curtain, he was stunned for a moment, who would have thought that the shopkeeper and the proprietress would appear in front of him.

Chu Ge walked up to Xiu Niang, looked at him, and asked him what was the matter. Just as the guy was about to talk, another person jumped out from behind him.

This man was dark and tall, looked at Chu Ge and Xiu Niang and smiled, showing his big white front teeth, "Brother Chu, sister-in-law of Xiu Niang, look what I brought you."
