Chapter 87 Going to Shangyang Village Together

Xiu Niang got up early today, and worked all morning in the stove. She cooked the porridge in the morning, and also cooked the vegetables for lunch. After eating, heat up the dishes and serve.

Chu Ge is putting on the rope in the yard at the moment, and today he and Chu Fu are going to Shangyang Village, and they will go to the town on the way, because the eggs at home are full, so they have to take them to the town, and they need to buy some rice noodles when they are done. return.

Xiu Niang took out the egg basket from the stove, took it out to Chu Ge, and told him to tie it to the handlebar of the car.

There were only two pieces of tattered clothes in the basket. Anyway, these twenty or so eggs were not really for sale, and it didn't matter if they were broken.

Because Xiu Niang was going to give it to the guys in Tairen Pharmacy, Chu Ge never knew about this, and sometimes he often praised Xiu Niang, saying that she could even sell those broken shells, it was a natural act Buying and selling materials.

After everything was done, Xiuniang hurried across the house to look for Mrs. Liu, and she almost bumped into Mrs. Shen in such a hurry, and of course she complained again.

"Hey, you woman, you saw me come out and bumped into it, right! You don't know what to do in such a hurry!"

Xiu Niang listened and ignored it, she was so anxious that she didn't make it up, thinking that two days ago, Lotus came to the village to tell Chu Fu to go to Shangyang Village in two days to see the workshop of the Zhao family Is there anything to do here?

According to Xiuniang's understanding, the meaning of "in two days" means that you can go if you have time, and you don't need to pinch the day, it's a fixed time.

But Mrs. Chen disagreed, seeing Tianxu talking about it, saying that she must go in two days, or she would be sorry for He Hua's intentions.

Xiu Niang didn't bother to chat with her, since the lotus had stopped talking, she would definitely reserve a seat for Chu Fu, why bother in such a hurry.

But since Mrs. Shen has made a deal, Xiuniang has no choice but to hurry up. The day before yesterday, she asked Chu Ge to move the drying sieve and stove together to Mrs. Liu's house, and asked Xiao Xiang'er and Chu An to help Go to the field to pick Erbao vines.

She went to Mrs. Liu's house by herself, and together with Mrs. Liu, she washed the Erbao rattan and put it on the stove to dry.

Although they had a rest at mealtime, it was inevitable that Xiuniang would listen to some gossip from Mrs. Chen when she went back to cook, but Father Chu would always jump out and reason with Mrs. Shen.

Guessing that Father Chu thought that Xiu Niang didn't want to stay with Mrs. Shen, so he went across the room to chat with the old Liu's family. In fact, this is also good, the house is quieter.

Xiu Niang walked to the door of Mrs. Liu's house, saw that she was still in the courtyard, and urged, "Sister-in-law Liu, are you alright, let's go quickly."

Mrs. Liu was holding a bamboo basket and was pulling things into a bamboo basket. She listened and waved to Xiuniang with a smile, "Oh, it's all right, sister, come and have a look."

After hearing this, Xiu Niang walked into the courtyard and asked Mrs. Liu what was the matter. Mrs. Liu just smiled and pointed at her. , since I got a full bamboo basket, and there are as many Erbao vines as there are three bamboo baskets.

She looked at Mrs. Liu, "Sister-in-law Liu, why are there so many?"

Mrs. Liu smiled, "Hey, we washed and dried the Erbao vines earlier, then put them aside to bask in the sun and didn't care about them, now we're pulling those baskets together and seeing that there are too many .”

Xiu Niang shook the bamboo basket happily, thinking about saying to Liu Shi, "Sister-in-law Liu, do you have anything to cover the basket?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu looked back and forth in the yard, and finally took a gown off the clothesline and covered it on the Erbao vine, and pressed the surroundings tightly.

She looked at Xiu Niang, "What's up girl, is this done?"

Xiu Niang smiled and nodded. Chu Ge's call came from outside, and she picked up the bamboo basket, saying, "Sister-in-law Liu, let's go now."

Mrs. Liu responded, untied the apron, and suddenly thought of something, "Oh, look at me, I haven't brought the embroidered basket yet, sister, you go first, I'll go back to the house and get it."

Xiu Niang went out after talking, "Sister-in-law Six, hurry up, we'll wait for you at Pozikou."

Chu Ge and Chu Fu have packed up, and today they said they were going to Zhao’s house to find a job, so Chu Fu wore a more energetic dress, presumably Shen asked him to put it on, otherwise she wouldn’t have Talking about, people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, and well-dressed people can pass the test.

Xiu Niang took a few glances, and she was even more pessimistic about Chu Fu's search for a job. Originally, he was going to see a job, but Mrs. Shen insisted that he dress so well. When the employer saw him dressed like this , you will feel that he is not a material for work, and maybe he will not be needed by then.

But after thinking about it, she still didn't open her mouth. If she talked about it at this juncture, Shen would surely say that she was jealous of Chu Fu's ability to find a good job, and took that lotus girl's kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs or something.

Xiu Niang pursed her lips, pretending she didn't see it, and put the bamboo basket on the car. Chu Ge took the rope to tie it around a few times, and then took out the key and handed it to her.

This key belongs to their inner room. Chu Ge should have locked the door when he came out. Xiu Niang glanced at it and put it in his arms, then smiled at him. She doesn't have to go back to the house this time. up.

Now that she and Chu Ge are both going out, only Father Chu and Wen Shi are left at home. Unnecessary trouble, she still chose to ask Chu Ge to lock the door before leaving.

Standing outside, Mrs. Shen talked to Chu Fu about something, and helped him tidy up his clothes, "Boss, this time you should be smarter... When you go to Zhao's house, you can say that the lotus girl introduced you... Those light jobs, you know?"

Chu Fu responded a few times, then looked at the yard and said, "Mother, I know...Mother, I'll be leaving in a while, and Juan'er will ask you to keep an eye on it."

Shen glared at Chu Fu, and slapped his arm, "You bastard, you only miss your own daughter-in-law, why don't you ask the second child to watch her, why are you called my mother... "

She was talking halfway, then suddenly looked aside, seeing Xiu Niang standing by the side of the car, she frowned, "What are you doing, don't tell me you're going too!"

Xiu Niang looked at her and smiled, "Grandmother, I'm not going to Shangyang Village."

Shen shi snorted, turned around and entered the yard, "Hmph, this is more or less..."

At this moment, Mrs. Liu hurried over, carrying a bamboo basket, "Hey, sister, I'm ready."

Xiu Niang took her basket and put it on the car, and said to Chu Ge and Chu Fu, "Sister-in-law Six, let's get in the car...Brother Chu Ge, we can go.",

Chu Ge and Chu Fu sat in the front and drove, while Liu Shi and Xiu Niang sat on the back of the car, holding the hemp rope with both hands to protect the things on the car.

Xiu Niang put her hands on the egg basket, and seeing Liu's appearance, she smiled, "Sister-in-law Liu, we are going to the town, not the city, why do I see how happy you are?"

Liu stroked her bun with a smile, and hugged the bamboo basket to her body, "Hey, sister, you don't know, I haven't been to the town since I got Hei Wazi, and I used to spend time with a few older sisters Let's go play, hey, look at my hair, is it good..."

As soon as Shen sat down, she saw Chu Ge and the others driving away in an ox cart, and Xiu Niang was also in the cart. She was so angry that she ran out to look at it for a while, and yelled when she returned to the courtyard. stop.

Father Chu went to the stove and asked for a pot of hot water, "Hey, old lady, what are you arguing about? Who offended you?"

Shen pointed out angrily, "Oh, it's not the little woman from the second family who just said she wouldn't go with Chu Ge, and I just got into the car as soon as I turned around! Don't you think she's lying? What!"

Father Chu thought about it, and laughed, "Hey, that's all, I know."

Shen shi paused for a while, thinking about it, something was wrong, "Well, you old talker, how do you know that."

Father Chu poured some hot water into his own bowl, "The second child told me this morning, so I let her go."

Shen's eyes widened, "You, why, why did you tell this little woman to go with the second boy, he is going to Shangyang Village with Chu Fu..."

Father Chu said impatiently, "Oh, the second son's family is not going to Shangyang Village, she is going to the town with Chu Ge... Besides, what's wrong with the second son's family? Why can't she go to Shangyang Village?"

Shen opened her mouth this time, muttering in her heart, if she said she was afraid that Xiu Niang's going would hinder Chu Ge from meeting with the lotus girl, then she wouldn't be talked about by her old talker.

She thought about it and murmured, "Hey, I'm not thinking about it. The second child's family is gone. Who will make this lunch? What's on her mind? Could it be that the two of us can do it ourselves..."

Father Chu gave her a look, "Oh, what a big deal, the second child's family has already cooked the dishes, so we can just eat something when we're bored."

Listening to what Old Man Chu said, Mrs. Shen muttered a few words, got up and went to the stove to look...

Chu Ge drove the ox cart out of the village, and after walking for a while, he arrived at Shangyang Village. He pulled the hemp rope, "Brother, you can go to Gao's cloth shop first, Aunt Zhao is probably there, and you can just say yes when you're done." Sister Lotus Flower told you to come here."

Chu Fu got out of the car, looked at Chu Ge thoughtfully and said, "Brother, won't you go in with brother?"

Chu Ge didn't speak at this moment, but Xiu Niang said first, "Brother, you are going to see the job, why are you calling Chu Ge to accompany you?"

Chu Fu looked at Xiuniang, and said something rambling. In fact, the reason why he wanted to call Chu Ge was also ordered by his mother. He said that he would go to Guo's house with Chu Ge when he finished work. .

Xiu Niang looked at Chu Fu's faltering look, and then thought about why Mrs. Shen didn't want her to come to Shangyang Village, she almost knew what was going on.

Chu Ge said, "Brother, I won't go, you can go by yourself, we'll still meet here after we're done."

Chu Fu replied awkwardly, and walked towards Shangyang Village in full clothes, "Hey, I got it, brother."

Xiu Niang was sitting in the car, and suddenly called out to him, "Brother, just wait..."
