Silly Hunter's Wife

"Grandma Wu, you can visit Chunzi later and ask about the background of that beggar girl. Chunzi is honest, don't let anyone fool you." After eating, Zhao Quanfa sat cross-legged on the kang and smoked , said to Zhou Ying who was picking up the bowls and chopsticks.

Zhou Yingzheng was putting away the rest of the dishes in the cupboard, and said after hearing this: "If you don't tell me, I'll go over and have a look. I'll go as soon as I pick it up."

Sun Lianhua, who was washing dishes with warm water from a large iron pot by the stove, hurriedly answered: "Grandma, I'm going too."

Zhou Ying: "Then hurry up."

Sun Lianhua accelerated the speed of washing the dishes, cleaned the dishes and chopsticks in a few strokes, and poured out the water in the pot.

After cleaning her hands, she sat down on the kang in the inner room, looked at the mirror on the kang table, brushed her hair on the sideburns, looked around and was satisfied, picked up the red flower padded jacket on the kang, put it on, and walked out to meet her. Zhou Ying said, "Grandma, I'm fine, let's go."

Zhou Ying also put on a thick gray cotton padded jacket, and when she saw her daughter-in-law come out, she said, "Let's go."

The two came out of the house one after the other, and Sun Lianhua took the dog fur hat that Song Chun had left at home with her.

At that time, Song Chun had just finished asking the beggar girl what he had said, so he took off the fur coat he was wearing outside, and the cotton padded jacket he was wearing in the middle, and was busy at the stove in only a jacket.

After sitting on the edge of the kang watching the beggar and finishing her meal, Song Chun asked her what her name was, where she was from, and what she planned to do next.

The beggar Hua told her that her name was Huang Erniu and she was from Zouping, Shandong. Next, of course she wanted to find her lost parents, sister and brother.However, before finding her family, she begged Song Chun to take her in.

Song Chun didn't say a word, she got up and knelt on the kang, kowtowed to Song Chun, and promised to leave as soon as she found out the whereabouts of her family.

Er Niu said tearfully: "Sister, I beg you, let me stay. I can do any job, and I can do whatever you ask me to do. If you let me go, I will be punished within a few days if I go out." freeze to death."

Song Chun couldn't see the woman shed tears, but he didn't want to agree to her and let her stay.

After her grandfather passed away, she was used to living alone, but suddenly there was an extra person in the house, she was really not used to it.

Besides, she just showed kindness and only wanted to give Er Niu a bite to eat and let her take it easy, but she never thought about taking her in and letting her stay here until she found her relatives.

Song Chun thought, it's better to cook a delicious meal for Huang Erniu, let her rest here tonight, and let her go tomorrow.

With this idea in mind, she went to work.

First, I cleaned the bowl, then washed the remaining roe deer meat, took it to the vegetable pile on the stove, and chopped the meat into pieces.

Some meat was salted, some meat was cut into pieces and intended to be stewed, and some meat was minced and intended to be mixed with sauerkraut to make dumplings.Someone came to the house, and she subconsciously treated him as a guest, and made some delicious food for him to eat.If she eats alone, it will be different. She will think of eating when she is hungry, and she will deal with it casually.

Erniu who was sitting on the kang saw that the little Orion had put away the bowls and chopsticks to wash, and cleaned up the roe deer meat there, so she also got off the kang, put on the pair of rag shoes, and walked up to her to watch her work.

At this time, the house was already warmed up by the burning of the kang.

She pointed to the meat Song Chun was chopping, and asked Song Chun, "What do you want to eat?"

Song Chun was about to speak when the door was pushed open with a "yi".

Aunt Zhou and her granddaughter-in-law Sun Lianhua came in one after the other.

The two of them walked into the Song family's yard just now, when they heard the sound of "Dangdangdang" chopping meat coming from the house.

It's really strange that this voice came from Song Chun's house.

The two looked at each other and thought in unison, could it be that the beggar girl is helping Song Chun with work?

However, when the two opened the door and went in, they saw Song Chun rolling up his sleeves and chopping meat, and a girl with disheveled hair and a tattered jacket stood aside and watched.

"Hey, Chunzi, are you chopping meat to make dumplings for this girl?" Zhou Ying asked jokingly when she saw it.

Song Chun answered with a silly smile: "Yeah, I'll chop some sauerkraut later, and a big pot of noodles. I'll make dumplings for dinner. Come over and eat."

Zhou Ying sighed secretly when she heard this, and said to herself: This Chunzi is such a fool, to make dumplings for the beggar Huazi who was rescued back home.Although roe deer meat does not cost money, is it easy to go all the way to the mountains and bring back a roe deer?Besides, roe deer meat is a good thing. If you want to sell it in Taoshan Town, one roe deer can be sold for seven or eight hawks, which is enough money for ordinary people to live a good year.

Erniu heard Song Chun talking to the round-faced, fat, gray-haired old lady who came in, and then she knew that the little Orion was chopping meat to make dumplings.

Dumplings, she had heard, were the people's favorite food here.

Little Orion was going to entertain her to eat dumplings, her eyes lit up with joy immediately, and she swallowed hard.

Seeing the beggar staring at Song Chunchou and swallowing her saliva, Zhou Ying couldn't help frowning slightly.

Although she was a kind-hearted old lady, she couldn't understand such a girl of unknown origin who went to the honest girl Song Chun's house to eat and drink for nothing.

Especially when this girl saw her and granddaughter-in-law coming, her eyes fell on Song Chun's chopping meat, she didn't look at them who had just entered the room, and didn't call them out.If it wasn't for the hunger and hatred of meat, just looking at the meat, I didn't notice that there were people in the house, and the rest was impolite, and I didn't know which poor place in the pass, my parents didn't teach me to call people.

She pretends that they don't exist, but they can't pretend that she doesn't exist.

Zhou Ying thought, the old man ordered her to come and find out the origin of this beggar girl.

Her eyebrows stretched a little, and she looked at the beggar Huazi with a smile on her face, and said, "You are the girl Chunzi rescued, right? I don't know your last name, why should I call you?"

Song Chun, who was chopping meat, stopped chopping meat after hearing this, and first introduced to Er Niu: "This is Mrs. Zhou next door, and Sister Lianhua. I just went to their house to eat, and I brought you the bowl of rice." That's what they did."

Before she had time to introduce Huang Erniu to Zhou Ying and Sun Lianhua, Huang Erniu had already preemptively said, "My surname is Huang, and my family calls me Erniu."

In fact, Erniu had already seen someone coming into the room, but she was indeed attracted by the meat chopped up by the little hunter, and she just wanted to swallow her saliva, and forgot to call for someone.The 50-year-old Mianshan lady asked her name, and after Little Orion introduced them to her, she came back to her senses and immediately answered the Mianshan aunt's question.

The sound is very crisp and bright, like biting off a crisp carrot.

Then she turned to Zhou Ying and Sun Lianhua, imitating what Song Chun said, and called them: "Aunt Zhou, sister-in-law Lianhua."

Zhou Ying and Sun Lianhua wanted to laugh when they heard her shout, but held back.

I thought to myself, where is this and where is it? I really dare to shout.

At the same time, the two felt that this girl with disheveled hair was very beautiful, not to mention sweet, with a clear and pleasant voice, round and bright eyes, and a witty vigor, refreshing and attractive.It's just messy hair, wearing rotten clothes, and looking sloppy.

Song Chun, who was standing on the side, saw Aunt Zhou and Sun Lianhua coming to visit, and thought that they could not be allowed to stand by the stove and chat like this, and had to ask others to sit down.

So she took a piece of cloth from the stove and wiped her hands, invited the two of them to sit on the kang, and called Er Niu to come over as well.

Song Chun quickly folded the quilts on the kang and put them on the kang cabinet, then put the kang table in the middle of the kang, and invited Aunt Zhou and Sun Lianhua to go to the kang.

Then she opened the kang cabinet and took out two wicker baskets inside, one containing tobacco leaves and a few copper smoke pots, and the other containing melon seeds and dates, and she put these two baskets on the kang table superior.

Then she went to shovel out some firewood that had been burned into charcoal from the stove hole, and put it in a clay brazier made in autumn.

At this time, Zhou Ying and Sun Lianhua both picked up the smoke pots from the cigarette baskets, filled the cigarettes, lit the pots on the brazier, and smoked.

Erniu watched them smoking curiously, but she stopped and forgot to take off her shoes to get on the kang.

It wasn't until Song Chun went to fetch a pot of tea, put some tea bowls on the kang table, and urged her to get on the kang, that she came to her senses and took off her shoes to get on the kang.

After she got on the kang, Song Chun also took off her boots and went on the kang, then picked up a tobacco pot in the cigarette basket, filled it with tobacco leaves, lit the cigarette on the brazier and started smoking.

Soon, Er Niu felt that there was smoke around her.

To be honest, she didn't like the white smoke coming out of the mouths of the three women at the kang table, she thought it was a bit choking.

"Erniu, do you smoke?" Song Chun asked Huang Erniu sitting beside him.

Er Niu waved her hand.

Sun Lianhua, who was sitting across from her, smiled: "Chunzi, she said she came from the pass, and she thought it was strange to see us women smoking, but you still asked her to smoke."

Song Chun suddenly realized, and then smiled, and said, "That's right, I forgot about this one."

She put down the smoking pot and said kindly to Huang Erniu: "If you don't smoke the pot, just eat some mao ke and dates."

In fact, Erniu had seen the things in the other basket a long time ago, and knew that they were edible, but she didn't know they were called mao ke and jujube.

She reached out and grabbed a date, put it in her mouth and ate it. She found it was very sweet and tasted better than the raw dates from the trees in the mountains, so she took a few and ate them.Then she grabbed a handful of melon seeds and held them in her hand, and started nibbling.

Well, this is also very fragrant, better than the raw ones she ate in the mountains.

Soon, Song Chun and the others were attracted by her clear voice of cracking melon seeds.

Aunt Zhou and Sun Lianhua who sat across from her even forgot to smoke pot.

Er Niu was really good at eating, a large pile of melon seed shells were piled up on the kang table, and those melon seeds lined up into her mouth, and with a crackling sound, the melon seeds were left in her mouth, and the melon seed shells fell to her fingertips. between……

"Yo, this girl really knows how to eat. We can't find such a girl who can eat Mao Niu in the village." Aunt Zhou was the first to recover, she put down the smoking pot, looked at Er Niu and said.

Listening to her voice, I can't say it's a compliment, but it's a bit surprised and worried.

She never forgot what the old man told her just now, so she asked Erniu in a gentle voice: "By the way, Erniu, you haven't told us where your hometown is in the customs and what is the situation of your family. Where did your family meet?" The beard, the beard has done something to your family. Also, your next plan. You have made it clear, Chunzi, and we can help you! You stop now, don’t just eat hair nibbling."
