Peasant woman's day

Chapter 48

Fu Rong knew that he was not feeling well, so she said softly: "What I said today is really unfilial."

"If I were here, I don't know what would happen to me." Gu Qingchen's voice was rough.Suddenly, he let go of Fu Rong, supported her shoulders with both hands, and looked up, down, left, and right: "Those rascals just now, were you injured? Are you uncomfortable?"

Fu Rong shook her head: "Thanks to Uncle San."

Gu Qingchen's hands froze for a moment, and he hugged her again.Fu Rong lay on his shoulder and said softly, "Father's leg seems to be injured."

"The medicine from last time is at the elder brother's place, so it's not over." Gu Qingchen said only this.

Now that all the fresh chili peppers have been bought, Fu Rong has started to get busy.The broad beans washed yesterday were not enough, so Furong poured another [-] catties to wash them.Gu Qingchen was sent by Fu Rong to cut the handle of the pepper.After cutting dozens of catties, Gu Qingchen was sent by Furong to pound all the spicy peppers.She took out the newly bought salt and put it in according to the ratio of two to three liang of salt per catty of chili pepper.If there is no fresh pepper, wash it with dried pepper and put it in and mix it.Then, she specially asked the workshop to spin some gauze-like cloth with slightly wider gaps to put on it to prevent dust from falling, and put it under the window root of the house, waiting to be taken out to dry tomorrow.

In the past two days, Fu Rong filled all the pots and pans in the house that could hold things, and then finished the three hundred catties of spicy peppers.The earliest tens of catties of spicy peppers had already been put into the jar. Furong stirred the broad beans softened with wine and put them in, and poured a layer of clear oil on top, and then sealed the jar.

Fu Rong was too tired to lift her arms these days.The little girl Yuanyuan obediently helped Fu Rong put the gauze on every day.He likes hot peppers that are bright red, and Furong forbids him to touch them, let alone rub his eyes.Yuanyuan pouted and followed Gu Qingchen, ignoring Furong for a long time, making Furong slap his ass angrily and funny: "I know I need a backer, you little thing."

After the first batch of jars were left for about ten days, Gu Qingchen went to the town with Furong and Yuanyuan in his arms.Furong didn't go anywhere, but went to the workshop.Hong Mian came out to welcome her, and Fu Rong opened a small jar to show her.As soon as Hong Mian smelled this smell, he immediately regained his energy, and rolled his eyes: "You didn't ask for money, did you?"

Fu Rong pushed her: "Of course it is. I don't have any money to eat, and I'm still counting on that money to live."

Hong Mian pointed to the outside of the house and said, "How many catties is the chili sauce in your jar?"

"It's only fifty catties here. If Miss Hongmian is interested, there's still more behind me." Fu Rong laughed.

Hong Mian pushed her: "If I do you this favor, how can I thank you?"

Fu Rong smiled: "Miss Hongmian has everything. If you give me one or two cents, Miss Hongmian will look down on you. I don't know."

"Look at your mouth, I can't say enough about you. I don't have any sisters and sisters asking for a penny or two from you." Hong Mian said with a smile, "I'm just talking to you, and you can discuss the rest yourself. Go. If it works, you young couple can just buy me a glass of wine."

After saying that, Hong Mian got up, Fu Rong walked up to her and said in a low voice: "Sister Hong Mian, don't deal with that manor."

Hong Mian patted her hand: "I've checked myself. Don't worry."

Hong Mian is very neat in handling affairs, and because of the workshop, she takes her servant Lao Liu around to discuss business.Most of the small cloth villages in the county know the name of this Hongji workshop.These small cloth shops are short of manpower, and if they are self-sufficient, it will take time and effort, and their profits will be very meager.Nowadays, Hongji Workshop mostly deals with them, so Hongmian found a restaurant for Furong in a short time.

Hong Mian didn't show up, but Lao Liu led Gu Qingchen to discuss business with the shopkeeper of the restaurant.Fu Rong stayed in the workshop to talk to Hong Mian.

Hong Mian hugged Yuanyuan on her knees, fed a piece of mung bean cake to Yuanyuan, and said with a smile, "Don't worry if you don't follow me to have a look?"

"There's nothing to worry about." Furong fed Yuanyuan water, told him to eat slowly, then raised her head and said with a smile, "He bought the things in the sauce. He was in the town before. For these, I am afraid that I understand better than me, who never goes out all the year round."

"It doesn't look like it to me. It is said that the water thrown by the married daughter should be a place for you to give your husband some punches. Why, you are not afraid that he will underreport the amount and save some money to go out." Doing bad things?" Hong Mian deliberately teased Fu Rong.

Furong smiled, pinching her round face: "Human, sometimes you can't think too much. You are too tired to hold everything by yourself. Besides, in the whole family, who is still guarding against thieves? He's my husband-in-law, and he's not an outsider. If there's something going on at home, he's got to protect our mother and daughter, why don't you let me, a woman, tell me what to do?" This matter is called a man's dignity.

Hong Mian turned serious, and said quietly: "He really has no grudges against Yuanyuan in his heart?" Although Hong Mian said softly, Yuanyuan was sitting on her lap, just in time to hear her calling herself, turned her head away, and smiled Then he handed the sticky mung bean cake he ate to Hong Mian: "Mother, are you calling me to eat cake?"

"Oh, you little cleverness!" Embarrassment flashed across Hong Mian's face, seeing Yuan Yuan being so obedient, she couldn't stop falling in love with her.She hurriedly hugged Yuanyuan in her arms, kissed his little cheek, looked at Furong and shook her head.Hong Mian pulled up Yuanyuan's little arm: "Yuanyuan, you and your godmother will live in the town, okay? The godmother will bring you delicious food every day."

Yuanyuan glanced at Hong Mian, and then at Fu Rong.Fu Rong deliberately made a sad expression, pretending to cry: "Yuanyuan doesn't want your mother anymore?" Yuanyuan rushed over: "Mother don't cry. Yuanyuan won't leave mother."

Hong Mian also pretended to cry: "Then Yuanyuan doesn't want to be a godmother? The godmother is so sad."

Yuanyuan said without hesitation: "Godmother don't cry, Yuanyuan will come to see her again."

Fu Rong and Hong Mian looked at each other and smiled, Hong Mian nodded to Yuanyuan's forehead, and said, "Then you promise Godmother, you must come and see Godmother." Yuanyuan nodded heavily, and stretched out her little finger: "La Tick."

Gu Qingchen came back before noon.Furong didn't ask him at all.The lunch at noon was prepared by Lao Liu, and the dishes were very delicate.Gu Qingchen drank two cups, Yuanyuan ate very sweet.

On the way back, Gu Qingchen saw Yuanyuan dozing off, so he wanted to hire a carriage.Old Liu did not know where to get a clean carriage.Fu Rong wanted to say goodbye to Hong Mian, but Hong Mian smiled and went into the house.Lao Liu led the two into the car, and handed a cloth bundle to Fu Rong: "These are two clothes my girl made for the young master." Fu Rong didn't refuse him, and took it.

"Yuanyuan's godmother has actually helped us a lot. Next time, we must thank her well." Gu Qingchen said to Fu Rong as soon as the carriage drove out of the city gate.

Furong leaned her head on his shoulder and reached out to touch Yuanyuan's little head: "Yes, thanks to her. I will definitely thank her next time. By the way, there is a master who shaves children's heads in the village. The round hair has also grown, and his hair is hard, and it always brushes down to his neck on weekdays, which makes him uncomfortable, so cut his hair."

Gu Qingchen also touched Yuanyuan's head, and said with a smile: "Where do you need others, mother... The second uncle's mother's family used to do this. Most of the children in the village used to look for her."

Fu Rong had already been shaken by the carriage and fell into a drowsy state. Before she lost consciousness, she only thought of one question: Who is the second aunt?As if never seen before.

At night, the moon and stars are sparse.

"Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law!" Although it was already autumn, Gu Qingchen was still covered in sweat.Fu Rong's hand tightly pinched his strong waist, she raised her neck, and let out a long sigh: "Oh!"

Because of Fu Rong's movement, the bright red on her lithe body stood up tremblingly, causing Lu Qingchen's eyes to darken.His hands stretched up from her slender waist...
