Chapter Five Bean Sprouts and Peasants
It was night, Chen Chunhua and the three brothers from the Zhao family stared at the farmers in front of them who were as strong as cattle, and then looked at their own bodies, like bean sprouts. Chen Chunhua couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
"Go to sleep!" After the boss said this, he took the bedding from the cabinet and spread it out on the kang. Although the three brothers finally got a wife, it was really not good to see how the wife was now.
Chen Chunhua got on the kang, looked at the three brothers and said, "I...I'm sleepy!"
The second child scratched his head. After receiving the boss's look, he immediately climbed onto the bed, pulled his own quilt around him, and patted the place next to him. "My wife sleeps here!"
Seeing this, Chen Chunhua breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking that they had some common sense, she got into the quilt without thinking and wrapped herself tightly.
It's different now that we have a daughter-in-law. The three brothers have been crowded on the same kang since they were little. The third brother can only sleep next to the second brother according to the previous sleeping method, while the third brother naturally sleeps like the second brother, one on the left and one on the left.
The one on the right is sleeping next to Chen Chunhua.
"Sleep!" After the boss said that, he blew out the kerosene lamp. Suddenly, the room turned into pitch black. Chen Chunhua was no longer sleepy. Not to mention the afternoon nap, she couldn't sleep in this situation.
.Who knows whether these three people will become wolfish in the middle of the night, and they will do anything to her bean sprouts when they are hungry?
Regardless of whether this kind of worry is necessary or not, it is always good to be vigilant. In modern times, there is a concept of love first, sex later, and if it suddenly becomes like this, no one can accept it immediately.
None of the three Zhao brothers fell asleep immediately. They longed for their wives. Now that they had finally married their wives, they were lying together but couldn't move. How could the three grown men not have any thoughts in their hearts.
The four of them slept for a while, and the second child couldn't help but put his hand into Chen Chunhua's bed little by little. Chen Chunhua immediately noticed the movement and moved her body unconsciously.
The boss saw Chen Chunhua moving over, looked up, and slapped the second boss on the dishonest arm.
The second child wailed. "Brother, what are you doing?"
After hearing this, the third child immediately sat up. "Second brother, let me switch with you!"
"If you don't want to change, don't change!" The second child shook his head quickly and took back his hand. The third child saw that the second child was not willing, so he had to shrink into the bed.
The boss tucked Chen Chunhua under the quilt and said, "Second brother, my wife is going to bed. If you dare to disturb her, tomorrow you will clear out a space in the room next door where the sundries are kept and lay a floor."
After hearing this, the second child stopped immediately. "Brother, why are I making a noise with my wife? I just want to hug my wife, but this doesn't work?"
Chen Chunhua was shaken all over. She was used to sleeping alone. In Chen's house, sleeping with a few women was fine. But now there was a man lying next to her. She couldn't calm down even if she wanted to. "What, me.
..”
"What does the wife want to say?" The boss asked immediately after hearing Chen Chunhua's voice.
Chen Chunhua moved her body and got closer to the boss. "I want to sleep close to you!" This boss gave her a relatively reliable feeling. After all, he was the boss and had relatively strong self-control.
The boss felt Chen Chunhua approaching, her long hair spread over his face, and smelling the faint fragrance of her hair, the boss raised his head shamefully somewhere.
Thinking of his own reaction, the boss subconsciously moved his body back. "My wife can sleep however she wants!"
Chen Chunhua moved her head, adjusted her sleeping position, and slowly closed her eyes. But she didn't feel sleepy at all. After a while, she heard the sound of her second child snoring.
The third child was still awake at the moment, so he poked the second child with his hand. The second child murmured, turned over, stretched out his hand from the quilt and put it on Chen Chunhua.
Chen Chunhua was startled by this sudden movement. Seeing that the second child's hand was just resting on her body, her stiff body relaxed.
At this time, the eldest child gently took away the second child's hand. Seeing that Chen Chunhua was not awakened, he put his quilt on top of hers, put his big hand around Chen Chunhua, and hugged Chen Chunhua.
Chen Chunhua opened her eyes and did not dare to move. Knowing that the boss had no next move, Chen Chunhua pretended to be asleep and twisted her body.
Tonight was spent peacefully. It was not until the middle of the night that Chen Chunhua vaguely noticed someone getting up. She looked around and realized that it was the boss who was getting up.
Chen Chunhua didn't care, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
The boss stood outside the door and blew a gust of cold wind until he felt the coldness on his body. Then he shivered and went back to the inner room and got on the kang gently. Although the boss had nothing to say, he was thoughtful and could certainly see Chen Chunhua's fear.
The look of.
To the three brothers, the wife is precious and is meant to be loved, not to be wasted. Before going to bed, the three brothers discussed it in the kitchen. They must not scare their wives. This must be done slowly.
Come.
The next morning, when Chen Chunhua woke up, she was the only one on the kang. Their quilts and pillows had all been packed away, and she didn't know when someone had moved her position and occupied the entire kang.
Yawning, Chen Chunhua stretched, picked up her clothes, put them on and got off the kang. As soon as she opened the door, the third child walked out of the kitchen carrying a wooden basin.
Seeing that Chen Chunhua had woken up, she said with a smile on her face. "Daughter-in-law, you're awake, come on, wash your face and then eat!" After saying that, he put the wooden basin on the shelf, took off the handkerchief used to wash his face and put it on the shelf.
Get wet in water.
Chen Chunhua frowned. As soon as she washed her face, she remembered that she had not brushed her teeth since she woke up after being reborn.
Seeing the third child handing over the wet washcloth, Chen Chunhua took it and nodded. "I'll do it myself!"
"Okay, wife, please wash up first, and I'll bring you breakfast!" Seeing the third child entering the kitchen, Chen Chunhua immediately wiped her teeth with a washcloth.
After washing up, Laosan served hot white flour steamed buns, a bowl of polenta paste, and a small bowl of pickles.
"Where are they?" Chen Chunhua ate the steamed buns and raised her head to look at Lao San who was busy at the side.
The third child raised his chin. "The eldest brother and the second brother went to the ground!"
Chen Chunhua said "Oh" and stopped talking. After eating, she squatted next to Lao San, watched him slowly weaving bamboo strips with his hands, pointed to the semi-finished product next to him and said, "What are you doing?"
"Zhuan, it's time to harvest the potatoes and melons in the field in a few days. Take advantage of the free time in these few days to get more Zhuan so that you can be busy!" The third child said and looked at Chen Chunhua. The more he looked at her, the more he felt.
I liked it and couldn't help but say, "Daughter-in-law, are you full?"
"Full!" Chen Chunhua stared at Lao San's movements and noticed his techniques. This kind of craftsmanship is common in this place, and ordinary people would not buy it outside.
"Daughter-in-law, my legs are numb here. Do you want to look around?" The third child put down the bamboo stick here, took Chen Chunhua and walked out.
He looked at the small courtyard, which was very clean. There was a tree in the center of the courtyard. He looked up and saw that it was covered with golden fruits. It looked a bit like citrus, but not like it. He pointed to the fruits on the tree and asked
."What is this?"
"Smelly mandarin oranges, the taste will get better after some time, but now they are still sour!" said the third child, pulling Chen Chunhua to the fence beside the courtyard wall. "My wife likes to raise whatever she likes. These are all made a few days ago."
Chen Chunhua nodded. This place is good for raising some poultry, but now that the season has reached autumn, it is not suitable.
After walking around the small courtyard, the third child saw that Chen Chunhua didn't want to leave anymore, so he took out a small stool from the main room and placed it in front of her. "Daughter-in-law, sit down for a while. I'm going to light the fire. The eldest brother and the second brother should be back later."
Seeing the third brother entering the kitchen, Chen Chunhua followed suit and looked around the kitchen. She couldn't help but think that these three brothers were very tidy and kept everything neatly. It was hard to tell.
When the third child saw Chen Chunhua coming in, he took out a hot potato melon from the stove with tongs, patted the ash on it, and handed it to her. "It was just simmered. This year's potato melon is sweet!"
Chen Chunhua yielded potatoes and melons, and poured them into my hands twice. They were hot and could be used to warm my hands. "I...what should I call you?" Do you want to call me Xianggong?
The third child's face became hot, he added a few sticks of firewood to the stove and said, "You can call me whatever you like. At home and abroad, everyone calls me the third child."
"Then, I'll call you Third Brother, how about that?" Asking her to call her husband, she would definitely not be able to call her husband. Not to mention what others would think, she herself found it funny just thinking about it.
The third child smiled honestly. "Sure!"
Chen Chunhua watched the third child busy, and simply sat in front of the stove, adding firewood to it from time to time, and eating a potato and melon, feeling warm in her heart. The autumn here is also relatively cold, and there was such a gust of wind blowing outside the yard.
, feeling of dryness on the face.
At this time, footsteps came from outside. Listening to this movement, I knew that the eldest and second eldest brother were back.
The second child put down the hoe and ran to the back room. Seeing that his wife who was still sleeping on the kang in the morning was gone, the second child felt anxious and ran out to look at the old man. "Brother, our wife is missing!"
The eldest brother glanced at the second child. "Why are you panicking? My wife is not in the kitchen!" After hearing this, the second child quickly took a look and saw that Chen Chunhua was looking at him.
The second child chuckled, "Look at me, I'm so confused, why is my wife missing?"
When Chen Chunhua heard this, she burst out laughing. This guy is really a fool. Say whatever you want.
Seeing Chen Chunhua smiling at herself, the second child didn't think anything was wrong. Instead, he looked at Chen Chunhua's smiling face, grinned, and said, "My daughter-in-law looks so pretty when she smiles!"
"Come on, what are you doing here? Hurry up and dry the potato and melon vines and pickle them in the evening!" The boss put down the hoe and pushed the second child, who then walked out of the main room.
After hearing this, Chen Chunhua stood up and looked at Lao Dadao. "I'm here to help too!"
"What are you busy with? Having a second child is enough. Wife, just sit there, it's windy outside!" The boss waved his hand and left the main room.
Chen Chunhua didn't know that sweet potatoes and vines could also be used to make pickles. Coming to this place finally satisfied her unique taste. She rarely ate authentic rural dishes after moving from the countryside to the city.
.
The potato melon they are talking about is called sweet potato or sweet potato in modern times. The name is different in different places.
After listening to the boss's words, Chen Chunhua didn't follow her out. She craned her neck and looked at the two brothers in the yard. She saw them spreading out the picked vines on the trellis made of bamboo strips.
All the young vines have been dried.
