Nine Zero, the cannon fodder wife of the paranoid boss is reborn

Chapter 45
Wang Hao bit the bullet and explained: "Her natal chestnuts are not much, only fifty or sixty catties. How can she do business? She is pregnant and greedy. Seeing that sugar-fried chestnuts are delicious, she also wants to learn Fry some and eat yourself."

Chen Chunli is from Qingshui Town next door. What kind of houses are there on the street? Is there a front yard or a backyard?

It is self-evident whether it was saved by her natal family, or bought it from someone else after all her efforts.

Everyone in the neighborhood knew Chen Chunli's temperament, not to mention Luo Shiliu and others who were close to Wang Hao.

Brothers, I'm too lazy to expose it.

……

Bai Lu vaguely felt that someone was touching her forehead, and slowly opened her eyes. In her hazy vision, the enlarged version of the handsome face and wrist of the man was close at hand.

She blinked her eyes with a blank face: "Why are you touching my forehead?"

Xiao Cheng withdrew his hand without haste, his palm was at a normal temperature, and his tone was calm as usual: "It's okay."

The morning sun shines in through the glass window, and a faint ray hits the circle of black and blue under his eyelids. It looks like he hasn't slept all night.

Bai Lu was puzzled: "Did you not sleep last night?"

"Sleep."

Xiao Cheng unhurriedly lifted the quilt, got up, got out of bed, put on his clothes and shoes, and looked back.

Seeing that Bai Lu also sat up, rubbed her eyes, yawned sleepily, and lazily moved her body to get up, she couldn't help saying: "Go to sleep a little longer."

Bai Lu patted her flat stomach, and said seriously: "I'm hungry, I have to get up and make breakfast."

Xiao Cheng wanted to call her when he was done, but she had already faded away from her lazy movements, and quickly folded the quilt and got out of bed.

Putting on his shoes, he stretched himself in front of the mirror, picked up the cotton coat that was draped over the back of the chair, put it on, buttoned it up and walked out, taking small steps.

It's like stepping on a cloud, light and slow.

Xiao Wei squatted by the well brushing his teeth.

Holding the toothbrush filled with toothpaste, the water cup, and the enamel washbasin, Bai Lu leaned over to collect the water: "Student Xiaowei, Tomb-sweeping Day is tomorrow, you should have a holiday, right?"

She started brushing her teeth after receiving the water. She didn't squat down often, and even when she squatted down to pick up things, she was very particular about her posture.

Unlike Wang Cuihua next door, who does not squat anytime, anywhere, casually, without image.

However, when she was brushing her teeth standing up, the foam was very high, Xiao Wei moved away a little for fear that the top of her head would turn white.

"Today is Friday." Therefore, regardless of whether tomorrow is Tomb-sweeping Day or not, the weekend is a holiday.

"Oh..." Bai Lu nodded clearly.

Xiao Wei didn't understand why she didn't lean towards the eldest brother, why did she lean towards him, so that he was always affected by the glances that swept this way from time to time, and his whole body seemed to be crawled by ants.

Quickly brush your teeth, wash your face, and run back to the kitchen to wash the rice and put it in the pot. Let him cook the porridge today.

Bai Lu and Big Brother have been cooking noodles and adding eggs for the past few days. They are delicious, but they have to get up early in the morning.

The breakfast here, porridge mixed with side dishes, is very simple, just cut some dried radish is enough.

Bai Lu cut two bowls, put a few slices of chopped chili and soy sauce in one bowl, pickled it and ate it now.

There is no chili in a bowl, just diced radish.

Xiao Wei, who is not used to eating raw chili, puts his chopsticks in that direction, and occasionally he will also have a bowl of chili with Xiao Cheng.

His little mouth was flushed by the heat, so he drank a few mouthfuls of porridge, and then continued to fight with the diced chili and radish.

after breakfast

Xiao Wei went to school, Xiao Cheng went to build a house next door, Bai Lu went to the vegetable garden in the backyard, took a long-handled wooden spoon to the small river, scooped water and drenched vegetables, and sprinkled them in the air.

If you pour water directly into the vegetable field, it will bend the young vegetable seedlings that have not grown up, and they will not be able to recover for a long time.

The old hen squatted in the chicken coop, laying eggs quietly, and occasionally raised her eyes to see the little figure drenched in the rain on the vegetable field.

A few days ago, Bai Lu specially went to Mrs. Zhang's house, bought a batch of eggs that had just been laid, picked out twelve eggs with flocculent embryos, and hatched chicks for the old hen.

Xiao Wei couldn't say how happy he was. Although his face didn't show any joy, he ran to the chicken coop every day after school.

Halfway through the dish, there was a sudden knock on the door, and Bai Lu put down the long wooden spoon to open the door.

It was an older, strange female elder who knocked on the door.

She was wearing a dark old cotton-padded jacket, with army-green liberation shoes on her feet, and her trousers were stained with yellow mud. Many years old, holding a notebook and a pen in his hand.

He said kindly: "This is Xiao Zhigang's son, Xiao Cheng's family?"

"It's Xiao Cheng's house." Bai Lu nodded lightly.

The female elder made sure that she was looking for the right family, so she explained her intention: "It's like this, Xiaojia Village will go to the mountain to worship the ancestors of the Xiao family on Tomb-sweeping Day tomorrow. Family members, by the way, collect incense money, one yuan and five per person, a few people from your family go, just give the money to a few people."

The Xiao family's ancestral land is across the river, on the hills of the old village. Many people have moved to the town over the years.

Every Qingming Festival, people from the clan would come to the town to inform them to go back to worship their ancestors, and Xiao Zhigang would go back before he died.

After Xiao Zhigang's death, the members of the Xiao clan did not come to inform Xiao Cheng, because they were concerned about Xiao Cheng's reputation as a bully.

Second, I feel that Xiao Cheng's doing this business will disgrace the Xiao family's ancestors and don't want him to go back to worship their ancestors.

Li Hongying will come to inform Xiao Cheng today because people from the village who came to the town to buy things said that Xiao Cheng seems to have changed recently. house.

Then there is a little thing I want him to help with.

When notifying other people just now, she purposely bypassed the next door and saw Xiao Cheng laying bricks from a distance, so Li Hongying and Xiao Guofu separated at ease, and she came to Xiao Cheng's house to notify.

According to the neighbors Xiao's family, Bai Lu, the youngest wife of Xiao Cheng's family, has a cheerful personality and is easy to talk to.

Li Hongying waited until Bai Lu gave her four spiced candle money before she was sure that the rumors she had heard were true.

He spoke again, with a much more cordial tone: "Bai Lu, Auntie would like to ask you for a small favor."

Bai Lu also has something to do when she goes back to the Xiao family's ancestral land, and it's best to help each other. She said with a smile, "Xiao Cheng is also from the Xiao family, and everyone is a member of the clan. If you have anything to say, just tell me. If you can help me, you will definitely help."

Seeing the smile on her face, Li Hongying let go of her nervousness: "As of now, we have counted 138 people from the Xiao family in the town who have returned to worship their ancestors."

"The journey back to the countryside is long, and it takes three or four hours to walk around the river. I heard that Xiao Cheng knew the owner of the brick factory, so I wondered if I could ask him to borrow a few brick carts from the owner of the brick factory to take the Xiao family back to the countryside. Worshiping the ancestors, those army-green six-wheeled brick carts can carry many people at a time."

Li Hongying specifically pointed out that it was an army green brick car, not a hand-cranked six-wheel tractor.
