Chapter 81

Bang!

With a shocking sound from Xingmu, everyone who was immersed in the story came back to their senses.

There was a moment of confusion.

It was as if he was sleeping soundly, but was suddenly awakened by someone. His mind was a little dull and stupid.

"This is the end of today's story. I want to know what title the Stone Monkey Sun Wukong will be awarded. Let me tell you in detail next time."

Brother Su's voice was neither urgent nor slow, like the spring breeze blowing through the willows. .

"Hey! Why don't you stop talking? The sun is still high outside. Keep talking!"

"That's right, how long have you been talking for? Half an hour? It's too fast. I just got a taste of it. Come on, it's gone! It's gone! Boss Chen, what are you doing here? You just want to make reservations for the food. We have to enjoy this story.

" Where did you find the script? It's so well written. It sounds like something like that. "

"I said, there must be immortals in our world, but we mortals can't see them."

"Sun Wukong does. There is no need to go to heaven when you have magical powers. There is nothing better about being an official. It is better to be free and comfortable in the mortal world as a mountain king. "

"Brother, I think it is better to go to heaven..."

Or he shouted to continue listening. They may talk about immortals in the world in twos and threes, or take the opportunity to tell strange people and strange things they have heard. Most of them are discussing stories, whether Sun Wukong will become an official in heaven, what kind of official title he will get, etc. wait.

For a moment, the lobby was as lively as going to a market.

Chen Yuping let them shout and hid in the corner having fun, but did not appear in the lobby.

After watching for a while, he went to the back yard.

Well, this storyteller is very good, so we have to talk to him about his treatment.

The next day, not long after the store opened, people came into the store one after another.

"When will Shopkeeper Shen start telling stories?"

"You also come to listen to Journey to the West? Coincidentally, so do I!"

"Waiter, could you please ask your boss if you can bring in the noodles I bought at the South Street shop? " The breakfast is too little. It's just a soup dumpling. It's more expensive than the meat buns, but it's not as filling as the meat buns. I said

, brother Ping, are you adding two things to your breakfast?"

Eat braised pork buns."

"Every morning, the story begins at midnight. Mr. Su's story in the morning is about the content of yesterday afternoon." "

At midnight every day. You can bring the food you bought at Street Chenji into the store to eat. If you buy food from a nearby store, you can also bring it in to eat. At the same time, you must spend more than five coins in the store before you can sit in the store. "

The boss said that he will add one or two things for breakfast tomorrow. It costs one penny for a plate and five cents for a bowl. It's crispy and delicious.

" Not available at the moment. Nanjie Chenji sells braised pork, which you can eat with steamed buns. It tastes great."

Chen Yuping was so busy in the back kitchen that he didn't even have time to go to the front store.

Simply put, Shen Le, Ershanzi and Shuwa are all smart people, so even if he didn't show up, it wouldn't be a problem.

When it is almost ready, the fried crispy beans are taken out of the pan.

The kitchen is filled with the rich aroma of oil. The breeze blows from the window, and the aroma of oil floats gently into the lobby.

"Hey! Brother Chen San is frying crispy beans? This smell..." The speaker smelled it twice: "Speaking of fried crispy beans, my father can also fry them, but they are far less fragrant than Brother Chen."

" Indeed, the smell is very tempting."

"One penny for a plate? I have to try it."

"My grandma's fried beans are delicious, but they don't smell as good as this. I just don't know how it tastes."

"Boss Chen's craftsmanship, you can eat it with your eyes closed. It's definitely worth the money! Shopkeeper Shen, I want a bowl of fried beans."

"It's five cents for a bowl and I'll have one."

"It's one penny for a plate. Let me taste it first."

The fried crispy beans had just come out of the pot and had already been bought at high prices before they were even served out.

Chen Yuping had no choice but to continue frying one more pot. He originally thought, one pot in the morning and one in the afternoon. Looking at it this way, he would have to fry two pots in the morning.

Thinking about it, he said to Cui Yuanjiu next to him: "Let Mrs. Zhang soak another pot of soybeans."

"I just told her."

In the lobby in front, Brother Su stood on the stage and told the story he told yesterday.

Those who had heard of it and those who had not heard it all listened attentively. From time to time, they picked up two crispy beans and put them in their mouths. One bite was crispy and full of oily fragrance.

Eating and eating...the plate is empty!

I lowered my head and glanced, gone? Just gone? Smacking his lips, he picked up the wine next to him, took a sip, and saw his left hand reaching into the plate again. Naturally, there was nothing.

He didn't say anything, his eyes were still on the stage, and he listened to the story with his ears raised, but he raised his hand.

Ershanzi moved forward deftly and asked in a low voice: "What does this master have to say?"

"Another plate, no, another bowl of crispy beans."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

This happened more than once . Compared to Bobo Chicken, Kebabs, Vegetarian Kebabs, etc., when listening to stories, fried crispy beans are obviously the most convenient.

Chen Yuping thought of going to the cinema to watch a movie, and touched his chin, wondering if he should take out the popcorn? Can the corn here make popcorn? Go home and give it a try. If it doesn't work out, fry some crispy pork. It's a pity, he can't make Happy Fat House Water.

Su Ge'er grasped the timing just right. At noon, the storyteller ended. He bowed to the audience and walked down the stage calmly.

The chefs, Chen Yuping and Cui Yuanjiu, are also very busy.

Just waiting for lunch.

But don't be in a hurry for lunch, let's go take a look at the front first.

As soon as Chen Yuping showed up, he was pointed at and shouted: "Profiteer! Profiteer! Brother Ping, I just counted it clearly several times. There are only sixty-four beans in a plate. Why are you eating it?" It was gone, and it was gone again while I was eating. The plate looked quite full, and there were too few crispy beans. Then I realized that the plates in your store were too delicate and small!"

"It only costs a penny. If you don't have enough food, you can just buy a bowl for five cents, which is guaranteed to be a little more than five cents for five dishes." Chen Yuping replied cheerfully, and then said with a smile: "My shop is spacious and bright, and there are wonderful stories. Listen, there are free cattail fans, you can drink sweet and delicious well water, and you can chew a plate of crispy beans for a penny, so you should be satisfied."

"This is reasonable, we are doing business, Brother Chen .

"I just want to ask, do you want to buy breakfast for tomorrow? It doesn't matter if you spend five hundred and eight cents. Ever since I tasted the food in the store, I always feel uncomfortable when I go home. " Oh! Boss Chen, you really don't want to have lunch?"

"Is there much for lunch? I'll make a reservation."

?"

"Me! Me! Boss Chen, look at me. I don't want wages. I work very quickly. How about three meals a day?" As

soon as the young man finished speaking, he was patted on the shoulder by the strong man next to him. Yibazi said: "You are so clever. Boss Chen, I am more energetic than this boy. I don't need to pay for it and just take care of my food."

Chen Yuping was a little dumbfounded. After thinking about it, he replied: "I will do it tomorrow morning." Let's stew a soup, a bowl of Yangchun noodles for five cents, and a bowl of shaved noodles with braised pork sauce for eight cents. It won't be long until it's sold out. It's only available for tomorrow. I don't know if it will be available the day after tomorrow."

"Not at noon today . Make a reservation, everyone should go back to their respective houses for dinner! If you want to listen to Journey to the West, remember to come to the store at the end of the afternoon."

After saying that, he ran to the kitchen.

Let's have lunch!

"Boss Chen, you run a store and do business, you can't be so willful!!!"

"What do you mean only one day tomorrow? You open a store and do business and if you don't think of ways to make money, what are you doing?"

"Maybe there will be one the day after tomorrow. Another breakfast..."

"You are

so naive."

"I bet there will be no breakfast the day after tomorrow."

"I will make a

bowl of cold beans. "

A kebab."

"

Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? I'm just saying, I won't open the market. This is going to kill me."

Chapter 82

Trying to sell breakfast for a day.

Chen Yuping gave up earning this hard-earned money.

The main thing is to stew the stock, and there is no hour when it can't stew, which means that he has to get up in the middle of the night.

No matter what, the money is too hard to earn.

"It's too difficult to make money." Chen Yuping sighed while nestling in Cui Yuanjiu's arms, looking at the stars in the sky.

Cui Yuanjiu held a cattail leaf fan to repel mosquitoes, put his left hand on the waist of the person in his arms, and held his hand tightly: "As long as you have enough money."

"I think so too."

Chen Yuping said sadly: "I will arrive at the store tomorrow . They must be yelling again."

"You stay in the back kitchen and don't go to the front. If anything happens, I'll go to the front.

" "It's okay

. It's fine."

Chen Yuping hid for several days . , seeing that the days are approaching the end of June.

He began to walk happily forward again.

These days, in addition to fried crispy beans, the store also serves small crispy pork, dumplings and steamed buns for breakfast. I started working on it before going to bed. After a night, when I woke up in the morning, the dough was just fermented.

Cui Yuanjiu is responsible for chopping the stuffing, Chen Yuping is responsible for seasoning, and the two hired women are responsible for making dumplings or steamed buns.

Two barrels of dough every day, big wooden barrels! It can be sold out in one morning.

Journey to the West is very long and the story is quite exciting.

As the days go by, more and more people are fascinated by Journey to the West.

The spacious lobby and the second floor above are always packed with people every day when Su Geer is telling stories.

I arrived late and there was no seat, so I sat on the floor without being too particular.

There is a rule in the store that you have to spend more than five cents.

Everyone who comes to listen to the book will consciously buy a portion of crispy beans or crispy pork. They sit cross-legged on the floor and eat while listening to the book.

Those with seats will be a little richer. The patrons on the second floor are the most generous. Even if they don't say it explicitly, most people will not be shy and sit on the ground on the second floor. Over time, the minimum consumption for those who can go to the second floor is fifty. Text or above.

In addition to the storytelling period, the store will still be lively.

Not to mention being far away, Lao Shen was just across the street. He would sit there for a while, no matter whether it was windy or rainy in the morning and afternoon.

He also likes to listen to Journey to the West. He often stays for an hour in the afternoon and spends the afternoon walking and visiting.

The business in the store tends to be stable.

I can straighten things out in the kitchen in the morning, so I don't have to guard the store in the afternoon.

The three of them, Shen Le, Ershanzi Shuwa, are particularly powerful and can hold up the whole show.

In the evening, Chen Yuping and Cui Yuanjiu discussed: "Should we invite the Shen family for a meal? Thanks to the help of the Shen family on the opening day, the business was busy until the end of the month. The time was delayed, but we couldn't delay it any longer. "

Just tomorrow, invite them over for dinner. Now that the days are long and the nights are short, the sky is very bright and the evening breeze has blown away the heat. It's just right to have dinner outside.

" "

The next day, Chen Yuping and Cui Yuanjiu finished their work in the kitchen, spoke to Shen Le, and hurried back to Kuzhu Village.

It's not yet noon.

Father Chen was a little surprised to see the two of them: "It's so early today? Are you going in the afternoon?"

"I'm not going. I've made an agreement with the Shen family to invite them over for dinner in the evening."

"Yes. This matter needs to be settled. It's the end of the month. "

A lot of the Shen family came, and at first glance they looked quite impressive. At a rough estimate, there were nine people at each table, and including my own family, there would be almost ten tables.

Among them, some children of the Shen family came here just to have a meal with a shy face. They said openly that Chen Yuping treated him kindly and kindly. They were all regular customers of the store. After careful discussion, there was still a bit of friendship between them.

Ten dishes are prepared for dinner.

Two soups, six meat dishes, and two vegetarian dishes, it was not a serious banquet, and no cold dishes were prepared.

Chen Yuping put a lot of effort into organizing it. Each dish was not too big or too small, but everyone on the table ate it.

Drinking the wine brought by the Shen family, everyone was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was good.

When Chen Yuping took out the prepared Feng Hong, no one in the Shen family took it.

Seeing that they really don't want to accept it, it's not easy to force them.

As dusk fell, everyone in the Shen family was sent away. The Chen family rolled up their sleeves and tidied up the tables and chairs, and those they borrowed had to be returned.

In July, the sun is scorching and it's the busy farming season again.

This year Chen Yuanqiu has to guard the shop on South Street. Father Chen has to look after four children and take care of trivial matters inside and outside the house. Naturally, he has no time to work in the fields. The same is true for Liu Guixiang.

Old man Chen and Chen Yuandong are the only two people involved in the rush to harvest crops.

Fortunately, Chen Yuping and Cui Yuanjiu had nothing to do in the afternoon. Cui Yuanjiu did not let Chen Yuping go to the fields, and Chen Yuping and Chen Yuhan did not agree, so Chen Yuping stayed at home to help.

The busy farming season has not affected the store's business.

On the contrary, as the weather gets hotter, business gets better.

Sitting at home, you might as well go and steal half a day's leisure. There are many people inside, and someone will answer whatever you say. Even if you have nothing to say, you can also listen to what others say, and listen to Journey to the West again, on the flowers. A dozen or so money was wasted in the blink of an eye in an afternoon.

Take the last month as an example. Chen Yuping rarely went to the front store and was often absent in the afternoon. Even so, he still heard a lot of gossip.

Long-tongued women have long-tongued women. It seems that only women can chew their tongues. In fact, men are no exception, especially when there is a room full of idle men. The shop has just opened, so maybe they are not familiar with each other, and they are a little reserved and reserved. As they communicate, they gradually It's really eye-opening to chat with each other, and we can talk about all kinds of topics.

Chen Yuping often sounded a little dumbfounded when he listened.

These ancient times are not ancient at all.

Perhaps because he had heard too much gossip, Chen Yuanqiu came back and said that Le Geer delivered meals to South Street at noon. He was already very good at talking, and he kept talking for half an hour without stopping. Then, Chen Yuanqiu Living at two points and one line, you can also know the gossip of the whole town and the surrounding villages.

"Do you hate it?" Chen Yuping asked.

Chen Yuanqiu was very bored at the time: "Why do you hate it? I think this kind of Le Geer is so interesting. Third brother, you don't know. The expression on his face when he talks is very funny. You can ask the eldest brother. He has been busy for a whole day One morning, what I was most looking forward to was Brother Le coming to deliver lunch. I felt very happy listening to him talk about the gossip I heard in the store. "

" Just like it,"

said Chen Yuanqiu. But he suddenly blushed, became unusually shy, and his bright eyes began to wander, looking left and right but not daring to look at the third brother.

Chen Yuping saw it and thought, maybe he has enlightened himself? I was thinking of making a few jokes to test the waters.

"I'm going to see Brother Cao. I haven't held him and played with him for a long time."

The person just... left.

Chapter 83

The cicadas outside the house were screaming hysterically, as if they were tired.

The weather was sultry and there was no breeze. It was as if I was in a steamer, being continuously scorched by the sun above my head.

After Chen finished what he was doing, he glanced at the hourglass. At the end of noon, it was the hottest time of the day.

It is also the busy time of farming, and every household, except the old and young, is working hard to harvest.

At this time, the sun is the most fierce, and I am still sweating in the fields with my face turned to the loess and my back to the sky.

"I'll give them some herbal tea to quench their thirst." Father Chen took a straw hat and put it on, then went to the back of the house to bring up the herbal tea from the well.

The herbal tea fresh out of the well is cold to the touch, which is particularly comfortable in this hot summer.

"Mung bean soup is cooking on the stove, please keep an eye on it."

Chen Yuping nodded: "Daddy, please don't stay in the fields for too long. The children should wake up."

In fact, it was not difficult for him to watch four children alone. I'm just worried that my dad won't be able to help working in the fields.

"I know, I'll come back as soon as I go."

Brother Cao woke up from sleeping on the bamboo couch in the main room.

He glanced at his brothers and sisters next to him, who were sleeping soundly with their bellies exposed.

He turned around and lay down on the bamboo couch, and moved out little by little, with his toes touching the ground. He landed neatly, put on his small shoes, and waddled like a little duck but steadily, and came to the door. The threshold was very high. He first lay his little body on the threshold, then turned over skillfully, patted his little hands, patted his clothes, and walked along the corner to the kitchen room.

Standing at the door of the kitchen house, he held the door frame with both hands, peered in with his little head, saw his father working, grinned brightly, and shouted sweetly: "Dad~"

"Sleep good boy. " Wake up." Chen Yuping walked quickly to the door, picked up his precious son easily, and kissed him on the forehead: "My little boy is so good, he can even walk on his own."

Brother Cao hugged his father . Neck, pouted and kissed him on the face, then rubbed his face again and again, giggling non-stop.

Father Chen came back from the fields. Before he entered the house, he heard the father and son having fun. His eyes were full of laughter. He went to the main room and found that the three children were still sleeping soundly.

"Is the mung bean soup ready?"

"Yes. I'll put it in the well. I'll stew the pork bones later. It's still early, so I'll put in a few lotus roots and a handful of peanuts." "

I asked Zhiwei to come over for dinner. "Mr. Chen hung the straw hat on the wall, took half a basin of well water and washed his face: "I also gave him two bowls of herbal tea. Maybe he was too thirsty and drank too much, and he choked. I looked at him. He's thin again."

Chen Yuping thought that his eldest brother had been doing well in recent days and said, "During the busy farming season, we should eat better. Let him come here to eat in these two weeks."

"I think so too. It's just a pair of bowls and chopsticks, it doesn't cost anything."

"Grandpa, third uncle." The third uncle called out in a particularly crisp and sweet tone.

Chen Yuping didn't even need to look at the door to know that it was Qiao Niuer.

Qiao Niuer quickly climbed over the high threshold and ran happily to the kitchen house, shouting as she ran: "Third uncle, third uncle, third uncle."

"Today we only have mung bean soup, do you want to drink it?"

Mung bean soup. Qiao Niuer was stunned for a moment, then nodded her head: "Drink!"

"This is a greedy little cat." Father Chen gently scratched his granddaughter's nose, pulled her into his arms, patted the dust on her body, and then He washed her face and wiped her hands.

Chen Yuping asked his precious son: "Brother Cao, do you want some mung bean soup?"

"Drink." Brother Cao said, then thought for a moment and added: "Small bowl."

As soon as the mung bean soup was served, Da Zhuang and Brother An Came here too.

Okay, four little kids sit around the table, each with a bowl of mung bean soup.

After drinking the mung bean soup, Chen Yuping took the four little milk babies to the children's room in Sanheyuan.

The weather was too hot, and the children were getting older and walking more steadily, so they did not lay a blanket on the floor. They still had to take off their shoes to go in because the wooden boards were laid, and they were carefully wiped every morning, as were the toys.

The children's room is very spacious, as big as two rooms, so the windows are also very large.

The house faces well, and the afternoon sun is blazing, so it doesn't reach this side. Opening the four large windows lets the air circulate, and the house is quite cool.

Chen Yuping sat on the floor leaning against the wall, looking at the children playing in the room with a smile on his face. His ears were filled with their innocent laughter and unintelligible gibbering.

On the trees outside the window, cicadas were chirping endlessly, but I didn't feel irritated. Instead, I felt indescribably comfortable.

At the end of the day, Mr. Chen took mung bean soup from the well and sent it to the fields.

He had just closed the doors and windows. As soon as he walked out of the kitchen house, he saw a neighbor from the village coming in a hurry.

"Brother Chen, where is your third son?"

"What do you want to see him for in Sanheyuan?" With that, Father Chen opened the door of the kitchen that had just been closed: "Come in and sit down for a while and have a bowl of mung bean soup."

The village neighbor wiped the sweat from his forehead: "No, I'm going to work in the fields. I just came from Shen's house. Shen Xiu Niang asked me to send a message to your third son, saying that the clothes are ready and let them smoke. Come and try it sometime."

"It's easy to have a bowl of mung bean soup." Father Chen brought out a bowl of mung bean soup and said, "Okay, I will tell my son about this."

The village neighbor took the mung bean soup with a smile . Gurgling, he finished the drink in one breath: "I'm leaving. This is the mung bean soup cooked by Brother Ping. It tastes better than others." He smashed his mouth and said, "Brother Chen is a lucky man. He gets this. What a good son."

After sending away his village neighbors, Mr. Chen hurried to the fields with mung bean soup in hand.

When he came back, he passed by the Sanheyuan and walked in.

"Brother Ping."

Chen Yuping was leaning against the corner and falling asleep.

I can't get up at dawn, I go to bed late at night, and it's hard to get any rest during the day.

"Grandpa." Brother Cao'er shouted in a sweet voice, with his fat index finger raised to his mouth: "Shh! Dad is sleeping."

Qiao Niuer whispered: "Gently."

Da Zhuang and An The brothers nodded their heads in unison.

Father Chen was amused by the four little ones, and at the same time he felt warm in his heart. He squatted down and rubbed the hair of each of them: "So good."

Thinking that it was nothing, and it was still early, he simply stayed in the house with the four of them. Let the children play together and let the third son have a good sleep.

Chen Yuping slept for a while. He knew that he had to look after the four children, but he was really tired and couldn't resist the sleepiness. After sleeping for a while, he regained his energy. He woke up immediately and hurriedly looked into the room. , seeing Dad playing with the children, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dad, when did you come?"

"I just came here a while ago." As he said that, Father Chen talked about the clothes.

"Tomorrow afternoon, Yuan Jiu and I will take Brother Cao to the Shen Family House." Chen Yuping glanced at the sun and said, "I'll go back and make the lotus root and pork bone soup."

"Go. I'll play with them for a while. Just take them back to the old house."

With the busy farming season, I naturally don't have time to take the children outside for a walk. Fortunately, the children are older and have always been well-behaved and sensible. I can still make sense after talking to them carefully.

Chapter 84

.Chen Yuping took a clean towel and carefully wiped Cui Yuanjiu's hair.

It was windy at night, cool and comfortable.

Dry your hair halfway and sit outside for a while to dry it completely.

"It's so hot during the day that it's like staying in a steamer, but fortunately it's still cool at night." Tired during the day, unable to sleep well at night, and with a tough body that couldn't stand it, Chen Yuping missed the modern air conditioner: "After a while, my hair was completely dry. Let's go to bed early."

Cui Yuanjiu actually didn't feel tired, but he didn't say anything. He held Brother Ping's hand and pulled him into his arms: "Can I bring a bamboo couch into the house?"

Even if it's late at night ? It's windy, but it's still hot for three people sleeping in the same bed.

Cui Yuanjiu was used to holding Brother Ping in his arms. He would inevitably feel lonely when sleeping alone, and he would toss and turn and not be able to sleep peacefully.

I miss his big baby and my little baby. A family of three should sleep in one room.

"Can't you sleep well?" Chen Yuping smiled unkindly: "I thought your eyes were turning blue because you were too tired."

"I miss you so much that I can't sleep."

Chen Yuping touched his face and said, "Okay. You move a bamboo couch into the house to sleep. By the way, we will take Brother Cao to Shen's house tomorrow afternoon. Shen Xiu Niang sent word that the clothes are ready and let's go over and try them out.

"

"I think so." Cui

Yuanjiu was silent for a while: "We are busy at the moment and we have no time to arrange a wedding. We still have to do it after the Mid-Autumn Festival." He looked wilted and inexplicably pitiful.

Chen Yuping chuckled: "Before Zhang Luo's wedding, there is one more thing you forgot. Since the Sanheyuan was built, we haven't entertained relatives and friends yet. This must be done before the wedding."

"Scheduled for early August? Hurry up . Then comes the Mid-Autumn Festival, and we will get married after the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"That's fine."

The two talked affectionately, laughing and joking for a while.

Chen Yuping continued to wipe Cui Yuanjiu's hair: "It's a little damp. Let's sit down and let the air blow." At this time, the towel was of no use, so he used his hands to loosen his hair.

His fingers rubbed his scalp back and forth, with a force that was neither light nor heavy, like tender cat claws. Cui Yuanjiu's heart trembled slightly, and numbness spread from the soles of his feet to the sky. He subconsciously clenched his fists and restrained himself with great difficulty. The itch rising from the core of my body.

"Uncomfortable?" Chen Yuping felt that his body was tense.

Cui Yuanjiu wanted to nod, but he couldn't bear to do so. He couldn't explain why.

"Let's go to sleep when we are tired." I was thinking in my mind that I would make two more hearty meat dishes tomorrow. It was too hot today, and the busy farming work was hard and tiring, so I had to replenish myself.

"I'll move the bamboo couch."

The bamboo couch was next to the bed, and Cui Yuanjiu was lying on it. Although he couldn't hold Brother Ping in his arms, he still had no problem holding his hand.

Holding it was not enough, clasping the fingers tightly, feeling sweetness welling up in my heart.

"Good night."

"Good night."

Kiss the forehead, kiss the mouth, kiss the cheek, and kiss the chin.

Childish and playful like a child.

"My father was mumbling before, I don't know where Brother Cao learned how to kiss people on the face. A kiss from him will make me happy all day long." Chen Yuping murmured in a low voice, with a deep smile in his words: "It's probably true. I learned it from us. Now when I hold him, his favorite thing is to kiss his face first and then rub his face. "It brings sweetness to my heart."

Cui Yuanjiu said vaguely: "...from now on, you have to avoid him." After a pause, he added: "How about making him a small wooden bed? You can't always sleep with him, you have to let him get used to it in advance." After they got married, it was natural for him to sleep on the same bed with Brother Ping in his arms.

"He is only over a year old, can you bear it?" Chen Yuping rolled his eyes.

"So, let's make a small wooden bed and put it in the house, so that he can get used to it first. When he is over two years old next year, he can sleep in a separate room."

Chen Yuping laughed at him: "You think too simply, do you think Brother Cao Are you so easy to coax?"

"You'll know if you try it, just don't make trouble around me."

"Okay."

He said good night, but the two of them came together again and whispered . He spoke for a long time.

The night is getting darker and the surroundings are quiet. You can vaguely hear the croaking of frogs and the hissing of unknown insects and ants. The late nights in summer are always lively and quiet.

Going to bed late and getting up early, you are still full of energy. Maybe this is the magic of love!

After a busy morning, they arranged for lunch early. Chen Yuping and Cui Yuanjiu did not eat in the store, but rented an ox cart and returned to the village.

It was only half past noon when we got home. Father Chen was preparing the food. Liu Guixiang was helping. The four children were playing in the main room. They were a little older, so they still needed to relax a little. They didn't need adults to watch over them all the time. Of course, the premise was The children are well-behaved and sensible enough, otherwise, it would not be as easy as a few months.

Chen Yuping brought back jelly. Yesterday it was herbal tea mung bean soup, today it is herbal tea jelly, changing the taste.

I also brought back some fried crispy beans and short crispy pork.

The family likes to eat it very much, especially the children. After all, they are a bit young, so I only give them a little bit occasionally and don't let them eat it often.

After lunch, without taking a nap, Chen Yuping and Cui Yuanjiu took Brother Cao and drove the ox cart to Shen's house.

Shen Xiu Niang was not asleep and was waiting for their arrival.

After serving tea and sitting for a while, the apprentice was asked to go into the room and take out the three sets of clothes he had prepared.

A very beautiful red color. Every time I look at it, I feel amazing and my eyes light up.

They went inside to change clothes.

Brother Cao had never seen such a bright red color before. He was a little excited and giggled while holding his clothes. When they were changing his clothes, they cooperated very well, and they changed them quickly. He was very beautiful. He kept shouting: "Abba, Abba, Abba." The voice was clear and crisp, and the eyes were sparkling, as if to say: Praise me!

"Our Brother Cao is so good-looking."

He is indeed very good-looking. He is fair and fair, with a rosy face. The red clothes make his delicate features look like a little fairy boy in a painting.

Cui Yuanjiu was unusually embarrassed. He lowered his head and looked at his clothes, then at Brother Ping, and then at Brother Cao. Both father and son were very fair and looked particularly good in red clothes.

And his...skin color is not white. In the past few days, I have been busy harvesting under the sun, standing together with the father and son, like a piece of charcoal freshly baked.

You don't need to look at it to know that the festive bright red on his body will probably not bring out his handsomeness.

"Am I too dark?" he asked hesitantly.

Chen Yuping, who was teasing his precious son, was surprised when he heard this: "How could it be possible! Shen Xiu Niang is very good at craftsmanship. This dress suits you very well. You are quite handsome!" After that, he gave a thumbs up. "You have distinct facial features, you have a manly strength and yet you are handsome. Your skin is a little darker, but it doesn't hinder you at all. You are very energetic!" He patted the young man on the shoulder.

The uneasy Cui Yuanjiu looked at the bright smile on his face, and his heart suddenly felt at ease.

The family of three lingered in the house for a while, and then walked out of the house side by side.

The moment Master Shen Xiu Niang and her disciple saw them, they were momentarily stunned.

"Master! These clothes fit so well. They look so good in them!" The little apprentice's eyes were filled with wonder and excitement: "Master, master, these are the clothes we made." How could she be so awesome?

"Not bad." Shen Xiu Niang nodded: "What do you think? Do you still need to change it?"

Chen Yuping and Cui Yuanjiu looked at each other, clearly seeing themselves reflected in each other's eyes, and then smiled: "No, especially Thanks to Shen Xiuniang, we are very satisfied. "

Chapter 85

The family of three gradually drifted away, and soon their tall and short figures were no longer visible.

But the little apprentice was still looking at it dreamily, reluctant to blink.

"Why are you so crazy?" Shen Xiu Niang waved her hand in front of her young apprentice: "Everyone has left."

"Master, our craftsmanship is so good, and the clothes we make are so beautiful." The young apprentice looked full of pity: "I I haven't seen enough yet. I wonder when they are going to get married. Master, can we go? The clothes match the person, and the person matches the clothes. It's so beautiful! Especially the man, who is a bit dark, actually suppresses the red. On the contrary, it shows more momentum. The main reason is that the master has chosen the style well. I don't know when I will have such a sharp vision, master." Shen

Xiu Niang slowly walked into the room: "Let me learn first."

The young apprentice trotted into the house: "When they get married, will we be invited?"

"What do you think?"

The young apprentice scratched his forehead and said, "I don't know."

Shen Xiu Niang laughed. But he didn't answer: "I'll take a nap."

After leaving the shady house, the sun was dazzling outside. Before he stepped into the sun, he could already feel the heat and sweat began to form on his face.

"I'm going to drive the cattle cart."

"Let's go."

Chen Yuping squatted down and used his straw hat as a fan, shaking it from time to time to get some wind.

Maybe it was too hot, so Brother Cao didn't nestle into his father's arms. He snuggled quietly next to him, holding his index finger with his fat little hand.

"Are you sleepy?" Chen Yuping stroked his precious son's forehead and said with sweat on his hands, "I'll be home soon."

Brother Cao didn't say anything. Maybe he was really sleepy, so he gently rubbed his face against his father's. Face.

Cui Yuanjiu drove the bullock cart to the door and picked up Brother Cao: "Let's go."

"He's going to sleep." Chen Yuping put the little straw hat on his son, let him sit in his arms, and held the straw hat to his son. He fanned.

Upon seeing this, Cui Yuanjiu took off his straw hat and put it on Brother Ping's head.

The ox-cart had only gone a few steps when he saw an ox-cart approaching quickly from the opposite side.

"Second brother?" Cui Yuanjiu recognized the man driving the bullock cart and shouted immediately.

Chen Yuandong glanced sideways: "Yuanjiu, it's you, are you ready to go back?"

The two bullock carts were approaching slightly.

Cui Yuanjiu and Chen Yuping both saw Zhang Zhiwei lying on the bullock cart. His face was bloody, his forehead was covered with plant ash, his face was pale, his eyes were closed, and he must have fainted.

"It's hot, you guys go back quickly." Father Chen glanced at Brother Cao: "The child is asleep? Yuan Dong and I are here, we don't need you."

"Yes, you go back first. I'll take the eldest brother first. "Look for Dr. Shen."

Chen Yuping asked, "Why was he injured so badly?"

"The details of the beating were not clear yet. Fortunately, a village neighbor passed by the Zhang family's old house and saw that something was wrong, so he hurriedly came to the Chen family to inform him. , when we went there, he was already lying on the ground, and after shouting several times he didn't wake up, so he borrowed a bullock cart and went to Shen's house," Father Chen said, urging: "We'll talk about it when we get back, it's too hot today. "

After returning home, Chen Yuping put the sleeping Brother Cao on the bamboo couch, filled a basin of water and wiped the sweat from his body. After cleaning up his son's body, he took a bucket of water to the bathhouse behind the house. I took a shower carelessly.

Cui Yuanjiu, who had already taken a shower, was eating the jelly one bite at a time. The jelly that had been soaked in the well was not as good as ice jelly, but it tasted good. There was also a bowl on the table. Chen Yuping came over and stood up to eat.

"It's not easy to go out on such a hot day, but I'm finally alive." After drinking two bowls of jelly, Chen Yuping felt more comfortable and thought about other things: "I don't know what's going on with the elder brother. " What's going on?" Cui Yuanjiu

said calmly, "We'll find out when the elder brother wakes up. Until then, let's not worry

about it too much."

After finishing a piece of business, I jogged back to the old house.

"Brother Ping, you are back."

"Well, I just came back for a while." Chen Yuping asked: "Does the second sister-in-law eat jelly?"

"No." Liu Guixiang shook her head: "Have you met my father and the others? The eldest brother is injured. It was not easy, even the ashes of plants and trees did not stop the bleeding. I found a few spider webs from the corner and mixed them with the ashes of plants and trees to stop the bleeding."

Chen Yuping said: "I met him at the entrance of the village and said a few words. "It's too hot, so we'll come back first."

"My father said we'll talk about it later when the elder brother wakes up." Cui Yuanjiu got up and said, "I'll go to the fields

."

."

He put on his straw hat, picked up his farm tools and strode out of the house.

The children woke up and were not allowed to play in the Sanheyuan, so they played in the main room.

With her third brother here in the old house, Liu Guixiang guarded the stall with peace of mind.

Chen Yuandong drove the bullock cart back, and there was Father Chen sitting behind him.

Chen Yuping put aside what he was doing and went to the well behind the house. He brought up the herbal tea from the well, poured two large bowls and put it on the table.

"Brother, are you okay?"

"Doctor Shen gave me acupuncture, but he's still awake. I have to wait until evening to check."

Chen Yuping glanced at the hourglass: "Brother, they will be back soon."

"Yes." Father Chen He sighed, sadness falling on his brows.

Chen Yuandong returned the oxcart, drank a bowl of herbal tea, and hurried to the fields without much rest.

During the busy farming season, we are competing with God for time without any delay.

When leaving, he took three bowls of jelly and headed to the fields. Old man Chen and Cui Yuanjiu had been busy for a while, so they could have a bowl of jelly to rest their breath.

Not long after he left, Chen Yuchun and Chen Yuanqiu came back.

"Dad, Brother Ping."

Father Chen waited for his eldest son to come from the hall next door before telling him about Zhang Zhiwei's injury.

After playing with the children for a while, Chen Yuchun, who was in a particularly good mood, suddenly turned gloomy, and the smile disappeared from the corners of his eyebrows and eyes: "The Zhang family are so old that they are really willing to do cruel things. This is just right, I have long been tired of it. To deal with them, I have saved some money now. I want to see who wants to take the two houses I live in. I will sell them at a low price. I will buy a foundation here and rebuild them. Build a few bright blue brick houses and live in them. "It feels comfortable."

"Do you know the reason?" Father Chen asked after hearing his eldest son's voice.

Chen Yuchun nodded: "I am in charge of the affairs of the Nan Street store, and my father takes care of everything at home and abroad. The old Zhang family was very dissatisfied. When I was busy with spring plowing in the first half of the year, I went to talk to my father every day. Why did he help the Chen family but not the Zhang family? He was scolded. It was not particularly busy at that time. Zhang Zhiwei gritted his teeth and went to the old house to help more or less with the farm work. The two elder brothers disliked the hot weather and only went to work in the fields in the morning and evening. Naturally, they fell behind others in farm work. No, the Zhang family and the elders were eyeing Zhang Zhiwei again. "

"According to my estimation, Zhang Zhiwei might have said something that made him unhappy, which made the Zhang family members anxious. However, I was a little surprised that he was beaten so hard. Anyway, I had done it before I briefly mentioned to Zhang Zhiwei that he was thinking of building a new brick house here, but he didn't say anything. He was a little reluctant after all. This time, I'll see if he gives up. "

Dad Chen . He frowned and said, "Don't poke his wounds at this point."

"Brother, you have to be more considerate at this time. I'll tell you in detail after my elder brother has recovered from his injuries." Chen Yuping I think Zhang Zhiwei is quite pitiful.

"I know." Chen Yuchun smiled: "I will go to Shen's house and watch him now." Despite the indifference he said, after all, they have been married for many years, so how can they not be anxious in their hearts.

Chen Yuanqiu was stunned when he heard this: "Is the eldest brother their son? Could it be that he was picked up from the mountains? That's too cruel! He is also the youngest, and my eldest brother is so pitiful." He patted his chest with lingering fear: " Fortunately, I was born into the Chen family."

"So, you should cherish your blessings." Father Chen took the opportunity to teach his younger son: "The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, and after the Mid-Autumn Festival, you will be twenty.

" , What about that, Dad, don't worry, I, I, I, I'm working hard..." His voice became softer and quieter. Chen Yuanqiu chuckled: "Third brother, Dad, I'll go. Tianli's helper, let's go, say goodbye." He ran away and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Father Chen blinked and looked at his third son: "Did you hear clearly what he just said?"

"I heard clearly. Dad, don't worry, your silly boy is enlightened!"

Chapter 86

"Enlightenment?" Father Chen was a little confused. Maybe the surprise came too quickly and some people couldn't react.

He looked at his third son with a shining light in his eyes: "Yes, that's what I thought. Are you enlightened?" He asked cautiously.

Although Chen Yuping had a guess in his mind, he had not personally confirmed it with the maknae: "Probably so."

He had to be more cautious.

"Last time he mentioned that Brother Le was very talkative when he was not working in the store. Since he became shopkeeper Shen, he has become more and more talkative. I asked him if he felt noisy, and he said no. Yes, he thought it was good. I just said casually: It's okay if you like it. Unexpectedly, this silly boy suddenly became so embarrassed that he ran away like before. "

"It's Brother Le! "Dad Chen was very happy when he saw it: "Let me tell you, these two children seem to be destined." He then added: "I haven't seen Brother Le for a few days. If he and the youngest can't make it happen, in the future. It would be difficult to see him."

Chen Yuping said: "He is the shopkeeper now. If he has a day off, I have to take over. Unless there is something important, there is no time for him to take a break. "

Things in the store are important." Father Chen smiled cheerfully: "You and Yuan Jiu will get married this year. I don't know if the youngest will have a good relationship with Brother Le next year. Brother Chun said that he wants to stay in the old house. Build a bright brick house next to it, and leave the youngest's foundation when the time comes.

"You and my father may forget. Let's talk to my eldest brother later."

"I want to talk to him. " "

Speaking of his eldest son, Father Chen thought of his eldest son-in-law, and the smile disappeared from his face: "I don't know if your eldest brother is awake now."

Chen Yuping glanced at the sun: "Doctor Shen has superb medical skills. What's going to happen? Dad, let's start making dinner. Let's have a big meal today and let Dad and the others make up for it."

"Your eldest brother is injured now. He will probably not be able to catch up with the things in the fields. It's up to your brother. Please help me with the cooking, otherwise I won't be able to survive." Father Chen muttered as he entered the kitchen: "What kind of dishes are you going to cook?"

"There's a chicken stewed on the stove. There are some mushrooms in it. Then braised pork with dried plums and vegetables, steamed bacon, spicy lotus root slices, braised wild rice with pork belly sauce, cold shredded fungus, fried bitter gourd and eggs, and stir-fry some green vegetables in lard." Chen Yuping counted. "Eight dishes are enough. The spicy lotus root slices are quite spicy. The rest of the dishes are not very spicy. Children can eat them, and older brothers can also eat them."

"Okay. I'll go to the vegetable garden."

Dinner was arranged . Almost.

Old man Chen and others who were working in the fields have returned home and are washing their faces and feet by the well behind the house.

Liu Guixiang poured a few bowls of herbal tea and placed them on the table, then took out the bowls and chopsticks.

The children knew it was time to eat. They smelled the rich aroma of the food. Da Zhuang walked in front, An Ge'er, Qiao Niu'er, and Cao Ge'er walked around the corner to the stove room.

As he walked, he shouted in a sweet voice: "It's time to eat!" with a bright smile on his face.

"Oh, the little ancestors are here." Liu Guixiang joked, walking to the door in three steps and two steps, helping the little ancestors cross the high threshold to avoid getting their clothes dirty, even though the clothes on their bodies were already dusty.

The children who entered the kitchen house shouted loudly and loudly one by one.

When the adults listened, they felt extremely comfortable in their hearts. They couldn't help but smile heartily, and their fatigue was swept away.

"It's time to eat." Father Chen put the soup on the table: "Brother Chun and the others didn't come back. After eating for a while, I went over to take a look and gave them dinner by the way. The food was kept. Let's eat what's on the table. ."

Chen Yuanqiu stared at the braised wild rice with pork belly sauce: "Tonight's dinner is so rich. If Brother Le is here, he will be very happy." As he said, he opened his mouth and put a piece of meat into his mouth: "It's delicious. I need to eat more. "Brother Chanle will go tomorrow.

He was grinning, his brows and eyes were full of love, and he couldn't stop his spring.

Chen Yuping and Father Chen saw it, they didn't say anything and smiled.

Father Chen was extremely pleased.

The youngest of his family finally came to his senses.

While eating, Chen Yuchun walked in.

"Father, Dad."

"You're back, and I was thinking of giving you a meal later. How is Zhiwei? Are you awake?" Father Chen asked in a loud voice, and quickly served the meal to his eldest son. Then he fetched a basin of water for him: "Wash your face before eating."

Chen Yuchun was not in a hurry to eat. He came back from the walk and was a little tired: "I haven't woken up yet. Doctor Shen said that he would wake up at night and asked me to come back first and tidy up. "You have to keep an eye on him tonight."

"Doctor Shen is a decent man. He's not awake yet. Don't rush over. Eat a meal and take a bath. I'll let your father drive the oxcart to take you off later." The father put vegetables into his eldest son's bowl: "Eat, Brother Ping prepared it. It tastes very good. Eat slowly."

After a while, Chen Yuchun felt comfortable. Hungry came over him. He smelled the fragrant food and whetted his appetite. Dakai: "Just bring some soup to Zhiwei later."

"Let's cook some more porridge, a lighter fish porridge." Chen Yuping said to Cui Yuanjiu beside him: "I'll go to the village to buy a fish later."

" Okay. I'll go after dinner."

Chen Yuchun said hurriedly: "No, no, I don't know when he will wake up and how much he can eat at night. This chicken soup is already good. The chicken can be stewed until it's soft. Eat something."

"Just listen to your third brother," Old Man Chen said.

It's dusk and the fish porridge is ready.

Chen Yuandong drove the ox cart to send his eldest brother to Shen's house.

The four children had taken a bath, and they were so fragrant that the adults had no time to care about them and sat obediently on the bamboo couch.

The air is filled with the fragrance of mugwort. The mugwort in the courtyard is freshly smoked. Without the help of adults to fan the fans, the children cannot avoid mosquito bites.

The evening breeze blows, and when you look up, you can see the night sky full of stars. The moon is not round but extremely bright.

There are insects chirping in the grass not far away, and fireflies are flickering.

The two dogs couldn't sit still, running after the fireflies and making a lot of noise.

The children laughed and clapped their hands as if to say, come on, come on.

After tidying up everything inside and outside the house, taking a bath, washing clothes and drying them in the house, after a busy day, I could finally sit down and enjoy the cool air to rest.

The adults sat around the bamboo couch and shooed the children away from mosquitoes.

Brother Cao'er quickly climbed onto Dad's body with his hands and feet, grinning happily.

Chen Yuping teased him and played with him, touching his forehead to his cheek and the tip of his nose. The father and son were particularly close to each other.

Soon Cui Yuanjiu also sat over. Since everyone was there, he was still restrained and watched his two sweethearts having fun with a smile on his face.

"Do you want him to hug you?" Chen Yuping asked Brother Cao to look at Cui Yuanjiu and asked with a smile.

Brother Cao'er stretched out his fat little arms and shouted sweetly: "Hug!" Before Cui Yuanjiu opened his hands, he threw himself into his arms. He was very brave and laughed hahahaha.

Liu Guixiang felt warm in her heart when she saw the three of them being so happy and intimate. She blurted out the words without thinking: "Isn't it time to teach Brother Cao to call me Father?"

Chen Yuping and Cui Yuanjiu didn't have time to answer, when they heard Brother Cao's baby voice shouting: "Father." The voice was not loud but very clear. He looked at Cui Yuanjiu with his big round eyes and a smile on his lips. In a shallow way, he was surprisingly shy.

After a brief period of surprise, a surprise like a storm hit Cui Yuanjiu's heart. He opened his mouth, but found that his voice was hoarse and he was somewhat speechless.

Chapter 87

Chen Yuping pushed Cui Yuanjiu with his handbag: "Brother Cao called you."

"I..." After a while, Cui Yuanjiu struggled to say a word. He wanted to say something more, but he didn't know what to say.

"Your father is so happy that he is stupid." Chen Yuping kissed his precious son on the forehead: "My dear boy, he is really great! When did you learn how to do it? Call me father again, and maybe your father will I'll be so excited that I'll drop the golden beans."

Brother Cao chuckled and threw himself into Dad's arms with a smile, burying his face in Dad's chest and hiding himself tightly.

"I..." Cui Yuanjiu licked the corners of his lips, took a deep breath, and tried to calm down his overly excited emotions.

After a while, he stretched out his hands: "Give Brother Cao to me."

Chen Yuping lowered his head, leaned close to Brother Cao's ear, and asked him with a smile: "Do you want your father to hold you?"

Brother Cao was in his father's arms. He rubbed it in his arms, then turned his little head to look to the side, met Cui Yuanjiu's gentle eyebrows, looked at his open hands, blinked his eyes, and suddenly laughed again: "Father, hug."

" Little baby." Cui Yuanjiu held the little dumpling that still smelled like milk and looked at the smiling brother Diping, his little baby and his big baby.

This life is worth it!

The night is getting darker and the evening breeze is slightly cooler.

The children fell asleep one after another, and the adults carried the children back to their respective houses.

He carefully placed the sleeping Brother Cao on the bed and covered him with a thin quilt.

Chen Yuping and Cui Yuanjiu sat beside the bed, their eyes falling on the sleeping Brother Cao'er.

I looked at it quietly for a while, feeling quiet and peaceful inside.

"Did you teach him?"

Chen Yuping shook his head: "No. I just mentioned it casually when talking and didn't teach him deliberately. Don't say you are surprised, even I was very surprised that he could call me father and also I know how to shout at you and pronounce my words clearly. "

"I'm not afraid of your jokes. I was completely stunned when he called me "father". I finally recovered and my eyes were slightly hot. I don't know how to describe it. It's so unexpected." When Cui Yuanjiu spoke, his voice was slightly trembling, and he could not hide his excitement.

Chen Yuping hugged him with a smile, rested his chin on his shoulder, and gently patted his back with his right hand: "Our little brother is just a sweet boy."

"Sweetness has entered my heart."

" It's also sweet to my heart." Chen Yuping said, "Hold him and play with him. When you are with him, you will be very happy and relaxed."

Cui Yuanjiu held Brother Ping in his arms. A thin kiss fell on the tips of his ears and forehead: "You are also very sweet."

"Our family of three is very sweet. We drink honey every day. Our hearts are sweet, our mouths are sweet, and our days are sweet." Chen Yuping smiled. His eyebrows are as bright as flowers.

"Yes. It's sweet."

The two of them laughed together. They didn't dare to make a sound for fear of disturbing Brother Cao. Instead, they felt a little more indescribably affectionate.

Chen Yuchun had no way to go to Chen Ji's store on Nan Street. Chen Yuanqiu alone could not handle the workload, and his family could not spare any manpower, so the store on Nan Street had to close for one day.

It just so happened that there were a lot of things going on in the fields. Old man Chen Yuandong, Chen Yuandong, and Cui Yuanjiu were very tired just by relying on them. The shop was closed for a day, and Chen Yuanqiu couldn't rest. He had to follow his father and brother to the fields early to harvest crops.

Chen Yuping arrived at the store and specifically said to Shen Le: "There is no need to go to South Street to deliver lunch at noon today."

"Ah? Why?"

"Something happened at home, so we are temporarily closed for the day."

"Third brother, what happened? What's going on? Where's the youngest?"

Chen Yuping said with a smile: "The youngest is very good, helping with the harvest at home."

"Oh." Shen Le breathed a sigh of relief and saw the playfulness in his eyes. He floated, his face showing a bit of restraint and embarrassment.

Chen Yuping didn't dare to tease him: "I'll go into the kitchen and be busy."

"Okay."

When Chen Yuping and Cui Yuanjiu arrived home at noon, Chen Yuchun was also there, helping Father Chen prepare lunch.

"Brother, how is your condition?"

"He's back. He's lying on the bed. He takes medicine and changes it on time. He has to rest for ten days to recover."

Chen Yuping said, "It's fine if nothing happens."

Zhang Zhiwei was injured . It's on the forehead, and the person is a little weak, but it doesn't prevent him from walking on the ground.

During lunch, he came out and sat at the table.

The whole person looked thin and haggard, and his eyes were dull, as if he had lost his soul.

"You stay here these days, take a good rest, and don't leave the root of the disease." Father Chen said warmly. Seeing that he didn't respond, he sighed: "Don't think too much. If you think too much, you will be hurt. "Myself, it's hot now and it's hard to recover from your wounds. Look away, eat well and sleep well. You're still young and you have to take care of your body and bones."

Zhang Zhiwei held the bowl and chopsticks, his hands trembling slightly, and he opened his mouth: "Dad... ..." His voice was so hoarse that he could hardly hear what he said before he spoke. His tears fell like raindrops under the eaves, falling on the back of his hand and into his rice bowl.

"I'm already my father, so why cry about this little thing?" Old Chen said angrily: "Be more like a man!"

Father Chen winked at his eldest son.

Chen Yuchun stood up, filled a basin of water, and twisted the handkerchief half dry: "I have told you a long time ago that you treat them as father and mother, but they do not treat you as a son."

What he said... Mr. Chen The father was afraid that his eldest son would become more and more outrageous, so he secretly poked him in the back.

"You can live here and rest in peace."

Zhang Zhiwei put down the bowl and chopsticks, covered his eyes with a half-dried handkerchief, and remained silent, but his shoulders were shaking slightly.

"Don't worry about the farm work in the fields. Your father's second brother Yuan Jiu and the others will help you clean it up." Seeing that his eldest son didn't say soft words, Father Chen had no choice but to speak himself: "While I'm recovering from my injuries, I can spend time with the children." Get along with each other more. You have a lot of things to do on weekdays and rarely talk to them. Da Zhuang and An Ge'er are both well-behaved and sensible. They know that you are injured and will not make trouble with you. You will feel more comfortable with them quietly accompanying you. "

Old man Chen didn't like his eldest son-in-law's cowardice, so he couldn't say anything. He said with a tigerish face, "Let's eat first and work in the fields later.

" "Slow down." Chen Yuchun continued.

After a while, everyone at the table had almost finished eating.

Zhang Zhiwei put down his handkerchief and silently picked up the bowls and chopsticks.

"Wait a minute." Father Chen called to him: "The rice is cold. I'll serve it for you again. I'll heat up the soup again."

"Dad..."

Father Chen smiled, with kind eyes. With Rourou's warmth: "Eat first. Nothing in the world is as important as eating. Tell me what you want to eat. As long as it's edible and helpful for healing the wound, I won't do it, so I'll let Brother Ping help me. Zhang Luo."

Zhang Zhiwei didn't have much appetite, so he only had a bowl of rice and a bowl of soup and put down his chopsticks.

He slowly walked towards the house.

Da Zhuang followed him step by step. When he was about to enter the house, Da Zhuang tentatively stretched out his hand and grasped his father's fingertips.

Zhang Zhiwei looked back at him.

Da Zhuang smiled slightly: "Father."

With these two simple words, Zhang Zhiwei's eyes suddenly turned red again. He tightened his hand on his eldest son and looked at him. After a while, he stretched out his hand and rubbed it. She rubbed the top of his hair and led him into the house.

Not long after, Chen Yuchun walked in with the sleeping An Geer in his arms: "Put the child next to you?"

"Okay."

Chen Yuchun looked at him, a little surprised, and said without stopping, "Aren't you afraid that he will make trouble for you? Touch your wound? "What this man cares about most is himself.

"Don't be afraid."

Yo, changed. Chen Yuchun smiled, said nothing, and rubbed the top of his eldest son's hair: "Keep an eye on your father and brother."

Zhang Zhiwei couldn't work in the fields. He had some free time today, so he naturally got help from the fields to harvest the crops. .

Father Chen saw his eldest son wearing a straw hat and carrying farm tools in a hurry: "Brother Chun, where are you going?"

"I'll help you in the fields."

"It's such a bright sun, why did you forget Dr. Shen? " What are you telling me? Don't think that after taking the medicine, you will be in good health again." Father Chen got a little angry and stood up angrily: "Come back here."

Chen Yuchun stopped helplessly . Next step: "Dad, it's just this afternoon. Tomorrow I have to guard the shop on South Street again. How tired can I be in just one afternoon?"

"You stay at home and look after the children, I'll go." Father Chen He grabbed the straw hat on his head and the farm tools in his hands, and while the eldest son was stunned, he quickly walked away as if the wind had stepped on his feet.

Chapter 88

Chen Yuchun stood stupidly under the eaves for a while before turning around and heading inside.

The eldest son slept on the bamboo couch, and Brother An was sleeping soundly in the bed.

Zhang Zhiwei... sat on the bedside, fanning his younger son with a fan, and fanned his older son twice from time to time.

"Aren't you going to sleep?" Being beaten really made a big difference. Chen Yuchun thought with a smile in his eyes.

"I slept a lot in the morning and couldn't fall asleep."

Chen Yuchun sat on the bamboo couch and took a cattail leaf fan to fan himself and his eldest son: "Does the wound hurt?"

"A little."

"Who did it? "Chen Yuchun never asked. She was not interested in knowing, but seeing that her husband's temperament was changing, she wanted to ask: "Are you your two brothers or your grandma?"

Zhang Zhiwei asked. He glanced at Brother Chun, pursed his lips and said nothing.

Chen Yuchun smiled: "Forget it if you don't say it."

There was no sound of conversation, and the room seemed particularly quiet.

Cicadas were barking endlessly outside the house, their voices shrill and noisy.

Chen Yuchun reached out and touched his eldest son's head. He put down the fan, got up and went out of the house, filled a basin of water and wiped the sweat on his eldest son's head.

Immediately, he twisted out a half-dry towel and handed it to his husband: "Wipe it with Brother An, be gentle."

Zhang Zhiwei took the towel silently, and wiped his little son's head with clumsy and cautious movements. Sweating lightly, he wiped his face and neck again.

"Tell me, what kind of life would you have had if I hadn't married you?" After wiping the sweat of the two children, Chen Yuchun left in no hurry, sat down, and shook her fan, chatting like a normal person. a question.

He didn't seem to need Zhang Zhiwei's answer: "What kind of life will your children live? The children in the Zhang family's old house are said to be worried about them. Take a look at them and then take a look at our Da Zhuang and An Ge'er. . In the past, the village always said that the village chief's son was spoiled, like a son from a wealthy family. Now everyone knows that the four children of the Chen family are well-raised."

"I watched him last night . Looking at you, I dare not close my eyes, for fear that you would wake up and ask for water or be hungry, or that you would suddenly have a high fever. The night was deeper, the whole village was quiet, and the moonlight was very bright, shining into the house through the windows. Looking at you lying unconscious on the bed, I thought about what kind of life I would have lived if I had not married you."

Chen Yuchun twitched the corner of his mouth: "I have been thinking about this question for a long time. Until you wake up. When I returned home and saw my two fair-haired children, listening to their laughter and my father's warm words, I immediately understood that no matter who I married, my life would never be the same. It would be too bad."

"But you are different, Zhang Zhiwei, you are different from me." Chen Yuchun's plain tone suddenly became sharp: "If you don't marry me, no matter who you marry, your life will not be the same. As good as it is now, your child will not be as good as Brother Da Zhuang."

"Why do I want to tell you this? Zhang Zhiwei has to be conscientious, don't you think so?"

The air seemed to condense. ice.

The sun is scorching outside, but the inside is as cool as water.

Zhang Zhiwei lowered his head and fanned his youngest son time and time again.

After a while, without seeing him speaking, Chen Yuchun carried the washbasin and left the room.

When he came back in, in the quiet room, Zhang Zhiwei, who had difficulty speaking, spoke in a hoarse voice: "You once said that you wanted to build a new brick house. If you don't have enough money, I'll pick up some after you've been busy for a while. As a part-time worker, we will try to build the house this winter." "

You go and tell the Zhang family

."

Chen Yuchun looked at him for a while and then said, "Okay, our house is not as good as before. With Brother Ping taking care of him, it won't be a problem to have three or five bright brick houses."

Chen Yuping slept for a while with Brother Cao, Qiao Niu'er. When he woke up, the two children were still sleeping, and he walked out quietly. When I got out of the house, I happened to bump into the eldest brother coming out of the house. Seeing that his face was relaxed and his steps were indescribable, he smiled and joked: "Did something good happen to my eldest brother?"

"Yes." Chen Yuchun was not afraid of the house either. Zhang Zhiwei, who was inside, heard this and said with a smile: "Your elder brother-in-law has finally enlightened himself."

"Hahaha, elder brother and elder brother-in-law, all the hard work has been rewarded, and the days to come will surely become smoother and more prosperous."

"Thank you for your good words from brother Ping . ."

The brothers entered the kitchen room talking and laughing.

"Did Dad send herbal tea?" Chen Yuping asked.

Chen Yuchun shook his head: "I was busy harvesting in the fields. I wanted to go, but my father wouldn't let me. He snatched my straw hat and farm tools and walked away quickly." He looked helpless: "I'll deliver herbal tea."

"Cut half a watermelon. I hung a bamboo basket in the well in the morning." Chen Yuping said and brought up the watermelon and herbal tea: "This watermelon is very sweet. It was sent by Lao Shen. The watermelon grown by the Shen family was brought from Yanjing. The melon seeds are more delicious than those sold outside."

Chen Yuchun picked up a piece and tasted it: "This melon is so crispy and sweet, so I have to walk faster to eat it while it's still a little cold. It feels good."

He finished eating the watermelon in a few licks and hurried out of the house carrying the bucket.

"Brother, straw hat." Chen Yuping took off the straw hat from the wall and ran after him: "The sun is so big, how can we not wear a hat?"

Chen Yuchun smiled: "I'm leaving."

The rest Chen Yuping continued to put half of the watermelon in the well, and took the two slices of watermelon to his second brother's house next door.

"Second sister-in-law, try this watermelon."

Liu Guixiang put down the sewing in her hand and said with a smile: "This watermelon looks delicious at first glance."

"Just brought it from the well."

"It's so sweet!" One bite, full of juice, sweet and crispy. Liu Guixiang took two bites: "Where did you buy the melon? It's much sweeter than the one I bought."

"Old Shen gave it to me. The Shen family grows it themselves. They don't sell it to takeout."

"No wonder it's so delicious. Keep some seeds. "Let's try to grow some next year."

Chen Yuping laughed at her: "It's so easy." "How will you know if you don't try? My father

is a good man in the field."

.

After chatting for a while, Chen Yuping returned to his old house.

In the room, Cao Ge'er and Qiao Niu'er woke up and were crawling off the bamboo couch with very skillful movements.

When they got to the ground, they put on their shoes, and the brother and sister held hands and walked happily outside the house.

As soon as they came out of the house, they saw Chen Yuping coming from next door, and the two children suddenly smiled brightly.

"Dad!"

"Third uncle!"

each one shouted sweeter than the other.

Chen Yuping washed their faces and took out the cut watermelon.

He did not dare to give the children watermelon freshly lifted from the well because it was too cold and they would have stomach upsets.

Each person has a small bowl, cut the watermelon into small pieces, and carefully pick out the seeds.

If you don't have a toothpick, eat with a spoon.

Qiao Niuer buries her little head and eats with gusto. Watching her eat will make you feel particularly appetizing.

Brother Cao'er tasted it and said, "Sweet." He narrowed his eyes into crescent moon buds with joy. He took half a piece of watermelon with a spoon and held it up steadily: "Dad, eat."

Chen Yuping naturally ate the treasure. The half piece of watermelon handed over by my son felt that this watermelon was so sweet that it was sweet to my heart.

He rubbed Brother Cao's head and smiled softly and kindly: "Good boy, eat it."

"Sweet?"

"Sweet. Very sweet."

Brother Cao smiled sweetly, ate a piece by himself, and then He scooped up a piece with a spoon and handed it to the father next to him: "Eat it, Zaizai, eat it, daddy. Sweet~"

"Okay, daddy and Zaizai will eat the sweet watermelon together."

"Watermelon, sweet."

Chapter 89

The wound on Zhang Zhiwei's forehead probably healed well, and it formed a scar within a few days.

There are still some medicines for external application and some medicines for internal use.

Father Chen was a meticulous and careful person. He was thinking about whether he still had to go to Shen's house and ask Dr. Shen to take his pulse. Do he need to apply external medicines and change the prescription for internal medicines?

"What do you think?" Chen Yuchun asked her husband next to her.

Zhang Zhiwei said calmly: "The wound doesn't hurt. I can eat and sleep, and I am in good spirits."

"Dad, when I come back tomorrow afternoon, I will go to the Shen family house with my father."

Father Chen smiled . : "It's the forehead that's injured. Don't be too careless. It's always better to be safe. It's not bad to raise it for a few days."

"Listen to daddy." Chen Yuchun imitated his third brother's words, with a well-behaved face.

Now his life is going smoothly and his temperament has become much calmer.

After finishing speaking, Mr. Chen left the house to do other things.

He is always busy with trivial tasks and can't sit still. He has to find something to occupy himself when he has nothing to do.

"I think I can work in the fields." Zhang Zhiwei whispered.

Chen Yuchun looked at him: "Take good care of yourself. If you feel guilty, I will help with some light housework and take good care of the four children."

"I have helped my father with work these two days, and the children are very well-behaved. Very sensible." Speaking of the children, Zhang Zhiwei had a smile on his face, and the warmth from his heart made him look a little like a father: "

You don't need to be guarded all the time." "Chen Yuchun hesitated for a moment, then said: "Have the Zhang family come to see you these days?" He didn't want to rub salt into his husband's wounds, but he was living a healthy life. , he said that he was nourishing others, but he also gained a lot of weight.

He's a little jealous!

His father treated him really well. They said that if a son-in-law is half a son, if he is left in someone else's house, even his biological son will not be able to raise him so well even if he is injured.

I don't know if this white-eyed wolf feels a little grateful in his heart. I don't know if he is grateful. I don't want to stimulate him. He is really a bit unwilling.

Mention the Zhang family. The smile on Zhang Zhiwei's face disappeared immediately. He pursed his lips and remained silent.

Chen Yuchun snorted coldly, not wanting to see him like this. Every time he talked about the Zhang family, he remained silent.

"You haven't given up yet?"

He wanted to be precise.

"How does my father treat you?"

Zhang Zhiwei replied seriously: "Very good."

"What about the rest of the family?"

"He treats me very well too."

Chen Yuchun suddenly felt bored: "As long as you understand in your heart. "

People are almost out of the house, one foot has stepped out of the high threshold.

Zhang Zhiwei, who was sitting in the room, suddenly said: "Brother Chun."

"What's the matter?"

"I don't mention the Zhang family. It's not that I still miss them in my heart, but I just don't want to mention them." After a pause, he seemed to Afraid that these words were not enough, Zhang Zhiwei added: "From now on, we will walk around in a meaningful way during the New Year and the holidays. When we are two hundred years old, if you don't want to talk to brothers, I will listen to you."

Chen Yuchun was particularly surprised . Concealing excitement and excitement: "Are you serious?"

"Really." Zhang Zhiwei nodded honestly.

Chen Yuchun was so happy that she rushed into the house like a child who got candy. She held her husband's face and kissed her: "I can clearly remember what Zhang Zhi said to you today." I'm worried. If you regret it in the future, don't blame me for kicking you with my two children."

"

Okay, let's wait and see." Chen Yuchun walked out of the house briskly. The smile is brighter than the sun in the sky.

There is hope for the days to come!

In the afternoon of the next day, Chen Yuchun and Zhang Zhiwei drove an ox cart to Shen's house.

Doctor Shen carefully examined the wound on Zhang Zhiwei's forehead and took his pulse.

The topical medicines can be stopped, but the internal medicines have to be slightly modified in two ways. There are still several pairs of medicines at home, which would be a pity to throw away. Doctor Shen then said, let them bring the medicines over, and he can save a lot of money by changing the medicines. Ten dollars.

At the end of the month, the busy farming season is gradually coming to an end.

After Zhang Zhiwei had been raised for more than ten days, he had gained a lot of weight and his wounds had completely recovered.

When he went to work in the fields, the village neighbors saw him and laughed and joked. The injury on his forehead was good. Not only did he avoid the busy work of farming, but he also became whiter and gained some flesh. It looked like he was getting better and better. Seeing the spring breeze, even when he was a boy, he had never been so lively. It can be seen that this life is really nourishing.

Zhang Zhi smiled innocently and said nothing about his father and everyone in the Chen family. His words were full of gratitude.

Neighbors in the village said he was lucky and had found a good companion.

Zhang Zhiwei nodded cheerfully and said that being able to marry Brother Chun was the greatest blessing in his life.

The Chen family has a very good reputation, but when talking about the Chen family, they usually mention how good Chen Yuping is, but few people talk about the rest of the Chen family.

With Zhang Zhiwei's injury, the Chen family's reputation immediately reached a new level. Chen's father, Chen Laohan, and the Chen family brothers were mentioned many times. This family is so good, so good that it makes people envious. If you look around, you won't find another family that is so harmonious.

Taking advantage of the good reputation, Zhang Zhiwei came forward and announced that he wanted to sell the two mud-brick houses he currently lived in and build a new house around the Chen family's old house.

Regarding this matter, no one really came out to gossip. After all, what the Zhang family did was so evil. People who didn't know it thought Zhang Zhiwei was the son picked up by the Zhang family. It's hard for Zhang Zhiwei to endure it for this long. It's hard for him too. It's right to think about it. If you don't be tougher, you might get caught up in fate. I heard that the injury was to the brain this time. The bleeding couldn't be stopped at that time. If it weren't for Dr. Shen's good medical skills, he almost wouldn't have been able to come back.

Soon, not only the village but also surrounding villages knew that Zhang Zhiwei was selling two mud-brick houses.

There was no movement from the Zhang family, maybe because they were shameless, who knows.

In August, it rained twice.

It's still hot during the day, but it's cooler at night.

Things in the fields were neatly organized, and Chen Yuping and Cui Yuanjiu discussed with their families a banquet for relatives and friends.

"How about taking the fifth day of August? It's a good day." Father Chen flipped through the almanac: "In the past few days, the fifth day of the lunar month is the most suitable. There are still a few days left on the second day of the lunar month, so there's still time to make arrangements. Old man

Chen reminded: "By the way, we have also decided on a date for the wedding. Let's talk about it when we go to banquet with relatives and friends."

"Let me take a look at it." Father Chen carefully said every word. Looking over: "How about August 26th? Come, look, it's a very nice day."

Chen Yuping and Cui Yuanjiu took a closer look, then turned to look at each other, smiled at each other, and couldn't help but hide their hands. They clasped their fingers furtively and replied in unison: "It's August 26th."

Chapter 90

The fourth day of August.

Chen Yuping and Cui Yuanjiu sorted out the affairs of the kitchen.

Tomorrow, there will be a banquet for relatives and friends. There are complicated chores. Cui Yuanjiu leaves the shop and runs one by one. Chen Yuping went to the front store. He would definitely not be able to open the store tomorrow. He had to come out and say that maybe he wouldn't be able to open the store the day after tomorrow.

Because he is a cook himself and his skills are very good, he will not ask anyone else to take charge of the cooking. After a busy day, he will probably be exhausted.

Brother Su is telling stories on the stage.

The lobby was full of people. Looking up, the second floor was also packed with seats. Apart from Brother Su's clear and soothing voice, there was no other sound. Everyone listened with rapt attention and was mesmerized.

Chen Yuping was leaning lazily in the corner, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and his toes trembling nonchalantly, with a leisurely and comfortable posture.

Who would have thought that once he traveled through time, he could live such a carefree and wonderful life.

After a busy morning, I can do whatever I want in the afternoon.

If you want a store, you have a store, if you want a business, you have a business, and if you want money, you have money.

There is also a sweet little boy.

I will get married to the man I like at the end of the month.

The family is harmonious, the father is kind and the son is filial.

What a beautiful day!

Brother Su left the stage in suspense, bowed, and walked off the stage calmly.

The quiet lobby instantly became extremely lively, like a drop of water falling into a hot pan of oil.

Old Shen strolled up to Chen Yuping and said, "Brother Chen is in great spirits on happy occasions."

"Old Uncle Shen, if you have free time tomorrow, would you like to go to the village for a glass of wine?"

"You've already spoken, why ? If you don't mind, you have to go." Old Shen smiled cheerfully: "How many tables are there? Is there a shortage of manpower? You can't even manage it by yourself."

Chen Yuping smiled: "There is no shortage of manpower. " How

much does it cost? I'll deliver it to you tomorrow."

"Hahahaha, I'm relieved because of what Uncle Shen said."

The two chatted for a while, and then Old Shen replied. Opposite Shen Ji.

The storytelling was over, and the lobby was still full of people, all discussing enthusiastically and excitedly. Chen Yuping stepped over the crowd and walked onto the stage.

"Uncles, brothers, brothers and grandpas, please be quiet for now. Let me say a few words."

"Yo! What is Boss Chen going to do?"

"No! I'm just going to count it out. What is Brother Chen going to do? " What a joke."

"You're still trying to figure it out, just pinch it."

"Okay, don't interrupt, let's listen to what Brother Ping has to say."

After a while of laughter, the hall gradually became quiet.

Being watched by a room full of people, Chen Yuping remained calm with a kind smile on his face: "Tomorrow I will be hosting a banquet for relatives and friends at home. I have not been able to attend to the store in the past two days. I have had half a day of leisure and will be closed for two days. Today. Tell everyone, don't waste your time tomorrow."

"What's going on at Boss Chen's house?"

"Boss Chen, are you in charge?" "If so, can I help you?

" Why are you going out of business? It doesn't matter if you don't have food in the store to sell, and it won't hinder Mr. Su's storytelling. The worst thing is, I'll give you a few more money to soothe your voice. I just heard something wonderful today. I can't stand this two-day break! "

The shop is not open, so where am I going to kill time every day?"

"Of course it's going to Kuzhu Village. It's been closed for two days in a row. I calculated with my fingers that Brother Chen San must be in charge. How rare it is." What an opportunity. Usually, if you want to eat the food he cooks, you have to queue up to get a reservation number. This time, you can finally eat it with all your heart. "

"Hey, shop! It's a good thing to go out of business, hahahaha, I think this is a good idea. Boss Chen, please tell me, we people will go to the village, will there be food?"

Chen Yuping said with a smile: "Thank you for watching. "If you all are willing to go to Kuzhu Village tomorrow to join in the fun, I, Chen, will certainly have enough food and drinks!"

"I'm relieved with Boss Chen's words. I'll definitely go there early tomorrow!

" I didn't ask, what kind of happy event is this for Boss Chen?"

"I know, I know, the Sanheyuan was probably built, and I couldn't spare the time before. It's just after the busy season, and it's getting busy.

" As soon as he came out, everyone congratulated him one after another and said their congratulations very quickly.

Chen Yuping stayed in the lobby for half an hour. His mouth was slightly dry and his cheeks were slightly stiff before he was able to withdraw and return to the backyard.

It was clear that he had done nothing, but he felt paralyzed and exhausted.

Cui Yuanjiu did not enter through the front lobby, but directly through the small door in the back courtyard.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw Brother Ping lazily nestled in a wicker chair, staring blankly at the green leaves above his head.

"What are you thinking about?" He came closer, squeezed into the wicker chair with skillful movements, and held the person in his arms.

Chen Yuping glanced sideways at him: "Are you done?"

"Yes. As agreed before?"

"As agreed, they are planning to go to the village for dinner tomorrow. I thought about it and estimated that I would need to add six more " Maybe it's not enough tables."

Cui Yuanjiu had already guessed, but he wasn't surprised: "It's OK to add eight more loose tables, but they can't be too crowded. Everyone who comes is a guest, so we have to entertain them well."

"I think so too." "

I thought that eight more tables would be added, but I would have to count them no matter what.

But Chen Yuping and Cui Yuanjiu thought it was simpler. It was not just the customers who were in the store at the time. The news spread quickly. In just one night, the entire town and its surroundings knew that Boss Chen, who had stolen half a day of free time, was going to be at home. A banquet was held to entertain relatives and friends, and he personally took charge of the dishes. Those who came were guests, and he had plenty of food and wine to take care of!

If you want to eat the food cooked by Boss Chen on weekdays, it's hard to find a meal! I took the money to join him, but Boss Chen ignored me.

Today is a great opportunity!

The delicacies that were out of reach in the past are right in front of us. It's okay if we don't know about them. If we know about them, everyone will run towards Kuzhu Village with a shy face.

There is no way to go to a banquet empty-handed. Saying that you are enjoying the meal is just a word.

You still have to get the gift.

It's up to you how much you take.

Not many of these foodies come from poor families, but they are very generous. They are holding gifts in both hands and smiling as if they have met a rare happy event. The Chen family.

The relatives of the Chen family couldn't handle the reception, so they had to temporarily recruit a few familiar neighbors from the village to help.

Seeing this situation, the village chief quickly summoned more than 20 people and went from house to house in the village to borrow tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks. He also asked the more capable elderly people to go to Chen's house to help hold the place together and avoid making a mess. .

Lao Shen originally wanted to help, but when he saw that the village chief had made good arrangements, he thought about it and went to the kitchen: "Would you like to call some cooks for you? Looking at this situation, I have to eat on the running water mat."

"I was just thinking about this, old Uncle Shen, I'll leave it to you!" Chen Yuping was too busy to talk.

Old Shen didn't care and walked out of the house. He pointed out a child of the Shen family and asked him to run to the Shen family house and call some cooks over.

The village customs in Kuzhu Village are quite good, and the village chief personally makes arrangements and orders.

Although the Chen family's banquet was a bit unexpected, fortunately there were enough people and it was still managed decently.

We said we were having lunch, but there were so many people there that the meal was overwhelming.

Eighty percent of them are those who eat in front and go home after having a good meal and wine, talking loudly.

Well, finally there were not many people left. As a result, one wave after another came, until at the beginning of Shenshi, we finally greeted the last wave of guests.

Chen Yuping... Chen Yuping was so tired that he had no appetite at all, so he was directly carried back to the room by Cui Yuanjiu, and fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow.

It was midnight when I woke up again.

The moonlight outside the window is bright and the sky is full of stars.

He tilted his head. Cui Yuanjiu was sleeping soundly on the bamboo couch next to him. He watched quietly, with smiles filling the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

He could feel that his body was very clean, without any sweat, and his clothes could smell a faint scent of soap locust, as they had been dried by the sun.

Apparently someone had wiped him and changed his clothes while he was asleep.

Cui Yuanjiu suddenly woke up from his sleep. He opened his eyes and subconsciously looked in the direction of the bed. He met Brother Ping's smiling eyes, as tender as water.

"I dreamed that you woke up, and it turned out that it was you who woke up." He said blankly. After speaking, he showed a bright smile: "Are you hungry? There are steamed buns and porridge warming on the small stove. I will bring them to you. Do you want some water? My dad boiled a pot of water before going to bed. It should still be a little warm now."

Chen Yuping was neither hungry nor thirsty. He climbed onto the bamboo couch carefully, hugged the boy tightly, and stretched out his hand to touch. His stern eyebrows asked: "Did you dream about me?"

"Yes, I dreamed about you." Cui Yuanjiu kissed his forehead: "You lay on my body and said it was comfortable to sleep like this."

"What else?" Low The low voice is soft and slow, like a siren singing softly in your ears, as if you have drunk an intoxicating old wine.

"You put your arms around my neck, rubbed my face, and asked me: Is it more comfortable for Brother Cao or for you? I didn't say anything, and you whined, so squeamish. I hugged you, wishing that I would You rub it into my bones and blood, and then I wake up."

Chen Yuping smiled, his body trembling slightly, and he laughed for a long time: "You really had a sweet dream."

"It's not daytime, it's not a daydream. . I think these are all possible, right, my darling." Cui Yuanjiu said seriously and kissed Brother Ping on the forehead: "When we get married, life will be better."

Chen Yuping kept laughing and said nothing. He didn't know why he was laughing so happily. He was obviously very tired. In this late night, hugging the young man on the bamboo couch and feeling each other's body temperature, his heart was full of joy. joy.

How could you be so happy?

I'm really happy.

Probably, people who are in love are always extremely happy when they are together, and a simple breath can be sweet.

"Go to sleep. It hasn't been long since you woke up. Maybe you can continue the sweet dream you just had." Chen Yuping was too lazy to go back to bed, so he and the boy slept side by side on the bamboo couch.

Cui Yuanjiu hugged the person in his arms tightly: "If I hold you, I won't have any more dreams."

"So sure?"

"Yeah. I'll sleep until dawn."

"Okay, I'm going to sleep." Chen Yuping said. After yawning, I woke up, feeling deeply sleepy again.

Cui Yuanjiu was a little worried about him: "Do you really want to eat something before going to bed?"

"No, I'm too hungry. I'll eat tomorrow." As he said that, Chen Yuping remembered something vaguely: "Thank you for today." Have you expressed your gratitude to the villagers for help? And the cook sent by Lao Shen must be given to Feng Hong, right? " "

Second uncle has always been meticulous, he handled these things properly, you can go to sleep."

Said: I've been surfing too much these past two days. I'm a little hurt today. Let's take a day off and continue playing tomorrow~

Good night!
