Chapter 10 Xiu Niang's Thoughts
The women's house was put together to talk about family affairs. Xiu Niang originally had only one piece of clothing, and she washed it without much effort. Thinking about my own affairs.

Just now when the sixth sister-in-law mentioned Xiaoxiang, she had no impression at all. She just looked at Xiaoxiang'er who was not very old, like five or six years old. It was because he couldn't screw up his father that he followed him to Xiayang Village.

Originally, Xiuniang's home was in Chenjia Village, a distant town, and there were several older brothers. As the old saying goes, the crops always tend to be small, and the old parents dote on them. I'm a lazy girl, and everyone in the village doesn't come to propose marriage when they know about it. Seeing that this juicy girl is running for Double Ten, and the old couple is so anxious that they can't sleep all night.

But one day, a handsome young man came to Xiu's mother's house, saying that he was here to learn a craft, and he wanted to worship Mrs. Chen as his teacher.

By the way, this Old Man Chen is not easy, he is a good hunter from Chenjia Village with a radius of hundreds of miles, and those who haunt the mountains are frightened when they hear his Old Man Chen's name, so they will be arrested obediently, or else he How do you support this big family?

Hey, in fact, what was said above was just what other people said. It takes a lot of skill to hunt wild animals in the mountains. Father Chen started at a young age. He is patient and familiar with the way. The game he finds is naturally better than others.

Father Chen often grabs live animals and leaves them for a few days to rush to sell in the towns of Fuyu. At that time, there was often a farmer carrying firewood to the town. He always saw Father Chen. The cook rushed forward, scrambling to buy the mountain things, without any need for old man Chen to yell.

The farmer paid attention, and when Old Chen was shopping in the town, he went up to say hello, and said bluntly that he wanted to learn crafts from him to support his younger siblings.

Father Chen was amused by his bluntness at the time, and then asked him to go home to confess, and followed him back to Chenjia Village, and this peasant boy was Chu Ge.

Chu Ge and Father Chen and his son have been running around in the mountains for two years, and they can endure hardships with strength. Father Chen often said that he is a diabolo, living with his head on the ground, his muscles stretched to the bottom. There are good and bad people like this.

Father Chen took him with him for so many days, provided food and shelter, taught him crafts, and treated him well. Chu Ge always kept this in mind, and promised to repay him when he returned to the village. When the time comes, let Old Man Chen speak up, and if he can do it, he will never speak back.

But Father Chen didn't allow gold or silver, so he promised to let him come again, give him a year to go back to the village to buy fields, build a big house, and marry Xiuniang to go home next year.

Mrs. Chen didn't say anything at first, but she was worried that Chu Ge would never come back. In the past two years with Chu Ge, after passing through the eyes of her elders, she knew that Chu Ge's character was very good. I didn't even say that my daughter married him.

Seeing that his wife was in a hurry, Mrs. Chen said that he did this to give Chu Ge two strings. He learned his own craft. It must be said that he learned this from Chen's father in Chenjiacun. If others find out, he will be even more grateful for their family's kindness.

Chu Ge is honest and honest, which is his good, but his mind is too straightforward, and it is his fault that he goes all the way to the dark.

Besides, Old Man Chen asked him to go back to the village to buy a farm house to teach him how to live in the future, and also to let Chu Ge know that his old man Chen's craftsmanship would be solidly useful.

Another thing is to give him some time for the old man to persuade his own daughter. Although this Xiuniang meets Chu Ge every day at home, the two of them have said less than a dozen sentences.

She was already old, so why did she find Chu Ge, an honest man, and the two elders would have to let their daughter go with others...

Now Xiuniang went through the whole thing in her heart, thinking that her father was really not bragging, or that Jiang was still old and hot, and he locked Chu Ge in two or three times.

In the eyes of others, this old man Chen not only taught Chu Ge the skills of half his life, but also let his precious daughter marry him. Don't kill him yet.

Father Chen thought about paving the way for Xiuniang, Chu Ge was straight-minded, thinking that he would not pick on Xiuniang, but when he thought of getting such a good son-in-law, he was rushing to serve his daughter, so what? The two old men would wake up laughing in their dreams.

Thinking of this, Xiuniang bent her legs and put her small face on her knees, looked at the white stream, and listened to the women beside her talking about family affairs. It turned out that she had met Chu Ge earlier, and she still had a little girl in her heart. Yes, but now there is nothing, because she always feels that she has occupied Chugo.

Mrs. Liu looked at Xiu Niang in a daze and said nothing, thinking that she was chatting with her elder sister, which put people in the cold.She said embarrassedly, "Oh, sister, are you tired of waiting?"

Xiu Niang smiled after hearing this, "No, it's good to hear the sisters-in-law's chatter and gain insights."

Mrs. Dao patted her leg, "Hey, look, what Ren'er Xiuniang said is right."

Xu's sister-in-law also laughed, "This newcomer to the village is different, no wonder Chu Ge is acting like something."

Mrs. Yang took a close look at Xiuniang. Everyone has said that the older generation learned how to be a human being. This young daughter-in-law looks very sensible, and she dared to marry Chu Ge who is proficient. It seems that the lotus girl has something to look at. up.

These aunts and aunts said they were happy before rushing home, seeing that it was time to prepare for cooking, and as soon as they entered the village, the aunts and aunts scattered and left, only Liu Shi and Xiu Niang went all the way.

When we went up the slope, there was smoke from the houses in front of us, and Xiuniang looked at her own home, and Liu Shi also looked at her, and laughed, "Hey, Chu Ge, it's not like this when it hurts people." .”

Xiu Niang was surprised, looked at Mrs. Liu's expression, smiled and said, "Sister-in-law Liu, don't make fun of me, it's Xiao Xiang who cooks at the stove, and Chu Ge went up the mountain earlier."

Mrs. Liu was not in a hurry to say, but just pointed to the chimney, "Look, the smoke is so strong, it's a big fire for cooking. Xiao Xiang'er just learned how to make porridge, how could it be her."

Xiu Niang laughed, "Sister-in-law Liu is coaxing me, this cooks rice porridge, you can still see it from the cigarette."

Mrs. Liu laughed, "Let's see later, you girl has found Chu Ge, so go live and laugh."

Xiu Niang curled her lips inwardly, and she wanted to snicker too, but Chu Ge really had her in his heart, so she could only be having fun when she smiled.

After walking a few steps to the door of the house, Mrs. Liu took the wooden basin, gave Chu Ge's clothes to Xiu Niang, and said brightly so that Xiu Niang could go to her house to chat when she was free.

Xiu Niang smiled and nodded, turned around and entered her yard, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Chu Ge's machete chopping something up, and he had set up the thick-headed bamboo pole he had cut on the mountain in the main room.

Chu Ge made a stab, and seeing Xiu Niang, he said in a muffled voice, "B-I'm back."

Xiu Niang looked at him and smiled, "Well, I just went to do the laundry with Sister-in-law Six, and met Sister-in-law Yang and the others, and chatted with them for a while."

As she said that, Xiu Niang put the clothes on the clothesline, straightened the four corners of the clothes from left to right, up and down, wiped them off, and turned around to meet Chu Ge.

He was staring straight at his own dress, met Shang Xiuniang's watery eyes suddenly, and was busy with the matter at hand with a sullen face.

Xiu Niang was stunned for a moment, looking at Chu Ge's red ears, her heart was itchy, she thought to herself, anyway, she is married to Chu Ge, she treats him well in the future, he has her in his heart, Then it's not that she dominates others.
