talk about wine

Zhou Qingwu kept some of the winter bamboo shoots that he brought home, and those that looked good were sorted out and prepared to be brought to the town for sale.Meng Chuxi took some and asked Zhou Qingwu to send them to Aunt Liu's house.

Aunt Liu was chatting with Zhou Yongwang's daughter-in-law Zhu in the village when she sent them off. Zhou Qingwu nodded to the two as a greeting.

Aunt Liu smiled when she saw her: "Qingwu is here, everything has been done over there?" She said it directly for Mrs. Zhu to hear.

Seeing Zhu's surprised look, Zhou Qingwu nodded, "Okay."

Then she handed the basket to her, stretched out her hand and gestured: Give Aunt Liu a taste.

"Hey, girl Qingwu knows how to dig winter bamboo shoots. It's not easy to get them. You can keep them by yourself. I can't take them." Aunt Liu quickly waved her hand and refused. Fresh food, Zhou Qingwu can cook a bowl of vegetables, and the little girl can dig as much as she can, but she can't ask for it.

Zhou Qingwu stretched out his hand and gestured: Chuxi dug it, and the family kept it. This time, I lost money to Uncle Zhou for buying the land. This is just a little thought.

She didn't expect Mrs. Zhu to be here, but she didn't care too much, and she didn't worry that she had other ideas if she was close or distant.

Zhu's eyes quietly glanced a few times, and she couldn't help being a little envious on her face: "This is really amazing. The elders in the village can only dig up a basket in a day with experience. Qingwu, you are willing to send it to Mrs. Liu." .”

Zhou Qingwu took a look at her, and didn't bow his head and cower as Zhu expected, and continued to gesture unhurriedly: Aunt Liu takes care of me, and people should know how to repay her, and Chuxi also remembers Aunt Liu's kindness, so we must to be delivered.

Mrs. Zhu couldn't understand, and she didn't care. She turned her eyes on Aunt Liu and pushed the basket again: You must accept it.

Aunt Liu sighed, her eyes were moved and pleased: "You girl, it's really rare, and Auntie didn't help you much. I used to live a miserable life, but now I'm better and still remember Auntie so much. I'll take the bamboo shoots." Get off, and thank that girl Chu Xi for me too."

Zhou Qingwu nodded, and waited for Aunt Liu to return the empty basket to her, then bowed his lower body and signaled to the two to leave.

Mrs. Zhu looked at the little girl's back and clicked her tongue a few times: "Miss Liu, this Qingwu has changed a lot. She didn't dare to look at me before, but now she is much more generous. Her complexion and appearance look a lot better, a bit like her. Damn."

Mrs. Liu glanced at her, and followed her words: "It has changed a lot. She has always been a sensible and polite child. Zhou Changqing and his wife are people who know etiquette. They raised such a daughter so well in those years. Where is the difference. It's just a pity that she lost her parents and was pressured into the name of such an evil star, grinding that clever child into such a gloomy and dull life."

Although Mrs. Zhu is not as talkative as others on weekdays, she still loves to meddle in such trivial matters, and she also agrees with Zhou Qingwu that she is the only one of the gods, so she feels a little hot when she hears Mrs. Liu's words.But she still turned her head, coughed and said in a low voice: "Her fate is indeed bad. One after another, she lost her parents, her fiancé, and her future father-in-law. How can people keep silent."

Mrs. Liu frowned. She has never easily offended people, and she knew what these people were thinking, so she didn't directly refute Mrs. Zhu, but said sternly: "Just wait and see, her life will definitely get better in the future. , Is it an evil star, I have to explain it myself, besides, Mrs. Zhu, what is more terrifying than an evil star is human words, and that is heartbreaking."

Zhu's complexion changed slightly, and then he smiled and said: "Hey, I still have something to do at home, I'll go back first, let's not talk anymore."

Watching her leave Liu's, she didn't show any expression. She patted the dust off her hands, and said to herself briskly: "This winter bamboo shoot is a good thing. I can add something fresh to the dish today."

Meng Chuxi was sorting out a batch of medicinal materials that Zhou Qingwu had dried in the yard. There was a piece of bamboo piled up in the yard and some guys for making strips. Seeing Zhou Qingwu's return, Meng Chuxi clapped his hands and raised a smile: "I'm back."

Zhou Qingwu looked at the things on the ground with some doubts. Meng Chuxi knew what she wanted to ask, bent down and tidied up the rattan strips he had stripped from the mountain, and said: "I saw Wang Orion and the others in the village get some prey, and there are some animals on the mountain. Those traces of animal activity, I went to Uncle Zhou’s house to borrow these, and I want to try to make a small mechanism to see if I can catch rabbits or something.”

Zhou Qingwu was really surprised: You can still catch rabbits?

Meng Chuxi waved her hand: "Just try it, I don't know if it will work." Back then when I was in the countryside with my grandfather, people there would generally set up such traps to catch rabbits and roe deer, and her grandfather was one of them. A good player, she often goes to the mountains with her grandfather to collect these, and she knows a lot by ear, but she hasn't practiced it herself, it's just a whim.

The sun is good today. After working for a long time, Meng Chuxi asked Zhou Qingwu to rest for a while. Zhou Qingwu sat with a mat and watched Meng Chuxi tinker.

The structure of this kind of thing for catching small beasts is actually quite simple. Saw and cut the bamboo, choose a bamboo piece more than five inches long and smooth it, sharpen one end, dig a groove at the other end, and wrap the rubbed rattan around it. , form a circle that can move, and you're done.

Zhou Qingwu picked up the small thing that Meng Chuxi put aside, hooked the circle with his hand and pulled it. The knot is movable, so the circle can be adjusted in size at will.

Zhou Qingwu was fiddling with this thing, with some doubts on his brows, as if he didn't understand how such a thing could catch prey.

The knife in Meng Chuxi's hand continued to cut the bamboo, but she glanced at Zhou Qingwu from the corner of her eye. Seeing the thoughtful look on that little face, she couldn't help but smile.But she didn't bother her, she just glanced at the little girl from time to time, until her eyes lit up and she looked suddenly enlightened, then she tilted her head and said with a smile, "Qingwu figured it out?"

Zhou Qingwu met her gaze when he turned his head, and immediately looked away, and then moved back with a pink face, which made Meng Chuxi smile more and more, why is this little girl so shy.

Zhou Qingwu pointed to the ring of this thing in his hand, then stretched out his hand to gesture, pressed the bamboo stake, quickly pulled his right finger, and looked at Meng Chuxi.

Meng Chuxi smiled even wider, and stretched out her finger to give a thumbs up: "Qingwu is too smart, that's exactly what it is."

Zhou Qingwu waved his hands and gestured: You are smart and can do everything.

Meng Chuxi laughed, and she threw the things in her hands: "I'm also trying, but I don't know if it will work. I will put them all down when I go up the mountain in a few days."

Zhou Qingwu is full of confidence in her: it will definitely work.

Meng Chuxi shook her head with a smile, and continued to make the rest.

After dinner, Zhou Qingwu took a rest early.When Meng Chuxi was eating, she noticed that she was not in good spirits, thinking that today she insisted on carrying a basket of bamboo shoots on her back, maybe she was tired.Tucking the quilt for her, Meng Chuxi frowned slightly, and said helplessly, "What a stubborn girl."

Zhou Qingwu didn't sleep well that night. After the rooster crowed three times in the morning, Zhou Qingwu, who would get up normally, didn't move much.It has been more than a month since I came to this era. Unlike the rich nightlife in the metropolis, here it is almost dark and I am ready to rest, so Meng Chuxi wakes up as soon as Maoshi arrives.

Turning her head to see that Zhou Qingwu was still awake, she got up quietly and looked at Zhou Qingwu with her head. The little girl was still sleeping with her head curled up.A little worried, he reached out and touched her forehead, but luckily it wasn't hot.

Thinking of letting her sleep for a while, she quietly got up to make breakfast.

Breakfast was relatively simple. Meng Chuxi made porridge, thinking that Zhou Qingwu was exhausted yesterday, and there were still two eggs left from the eggs he bought at home.Meng Chuxi took an egg and beat it into a bowl. The rice soup in the pot was boiling. Meng Chuxi scooped up the rice soup and slowly poured it in. Stirring it quickly with chopsticks, pieces of egg flower were evenly dispersed in the off-white rice soup, and a scent wafted out immediately.

She bent down and sniffed, and a little smile appeared in the corner of her eyes. It really was a local egg, with a delicious taste and a beautiful color.Opening the jar, she took another piece of pine sugar and stirred it into the soup.After wiping his hands, he was about to wake him up when there was movement behind him.Zhou Qingwu supported the door frame with a tired expression and gestured apologetically: I got up late, why didn't you wake me up?

"It's because you are busy with work on weekdays. I guess you were tired yesterday. You should rest more. Come on, I'll make egg flower for you, and you can drink it while it's hot." As she spoke, she took a closer look at Zhou Qingwu's face , Worryingly said: "Why is your face so ugly, is there something uncomfortable?"

Zhou Qingwu shook his head and gestured with his hand: I'm fine, don't worry.

"Come on, drink this and warm yourself up." Meng Chuxi picked up the egg soup and handed it to her.

Zhou Qingwu searched the stove without looking at it, and stretched out his hand to gesture: Where's yours?

Meng Chuxi frowned: "Look at your face and body, and then look at mine. I don't need to drink anymore. Don't think about anything else. Drink."

Zhou Qingwu had no choice but to hold the bowl. The hot egg drop soup was fragrant, and Meng Chuxi thoughtfully padded the bottom of the bowl with a cloth, so the heat spread to the palm of his hand but it was not hot.She thought for a while and reached out to Meng Chuxi's mouth, staring at Meng Chuxi.

Meng Chuxi raised her eyebrows, took a sip carefully, um, the taste was sweet and delicious without any eggy smell, quite successful.

"Okay, I'll drink it too, take a quick sip, do you like it?" Meng Chuxi asked.

Zhou Qingwu took a sip, it was sweet and full of fragrance, very delicious.She tasted it and nodded.The egg drop soup is simple but very nutritious. It is more fragrant when it is boiled with rice soup. The milky white rice soup has eggs added, and the yellow egg flower floats in it, and the color is also beautiful.This way of eating is rare even in Zhou Qingwu, but the taste is really good.

Seeing that she liked Meng Chuxi, she laughed and turned around to continue her work.Zhou Qingwu looked at Meng Chuxi, the people in front of him looked slender in cotton-padded clothes, not much fatter than him, well, at most they were taller, um, just a little.

After eating a bowl of egg drop soup, the stomach was warm, and the faint abdominal pain was much better.She was a little uncomfortable, and when she got up, she realized that it seemed to be menstruation.Her menstruation was very irregular before, and she hasn't had it for more than two months, so she feels a little uncomfortable.Zhou Qingwu's face turned pale when he thought of the pain that made her toss and turn every time she came here in the past.

After the meal, Meng Chuxi packed up the winter bamboo shoots and was about to go to the town. She was about to call Zhou Qingwu, but found that she was sitting huddled on one side with a pale face and already breaking out in a cold sweat.

Meng Chuxi's complexion changed, and she hurried forward: "What's wrong with Qingwu? You look so pale, where does it hurt?" She stretched out her hand and grabbed her left hand on her knee. It was cold and wet, but it was also sweating.

Zhou Qingwu reluctantly raised his head to look at her, but he didn't have the strength to make another gesture, and lowered his head in pain.The pink lips were already bloodless. Meng Chuxi was so anxious that she looked down and found that her right hand was pressed firmly on her lower abdomen, trembling with pain. She reacted immediately and asked tentatively: "Is it menstruation, does your stomach hurt?"

Now Zhou Qingwu didn't care about being shy, and nodded with a pale face.Seeing her nodding, Meng Chuxi was relieved, but luckily it wasn't any other illness.But she knew that the dysmenorrhea was so severe that she could pass out from the pain, and Zhou Qingwu would definitely not be able to bear the pain like this.

Without caring about anything else, she bent down and picked up the curled up man by the waist.The little girl was really thin, and Meng Chuxi didn't find it difficult to hold her, so she quickly carried her to the couch and covered her with a quilt.

She leaned over and asked in a low voice. The pale Zhou Qingwu bit his lower lip and nodded imperceptibly.Meng Chuxi felt distressed and funny at the same time. If it wasn't for the pain, the little girl might blush again.

"You rest first, I'll make you a bowl of ginger syrup immediately." There was no ginger at home, so Meng Chuxi immediately went out to Aunt Liu's house to borrow it.When he came back, he took a look at Zhou Qingwu, and hurriedly went to the stove to boil hot water to cook ginger soup.Now that there is no brown sugar, she can only try to see if the ginger soup can warm her up.

Zhou Qingwu only felt as if she had been hammered hard, her entire lower abdomen seemed to be churned together, and waves of pain hit her, making her hunched over while biting her lip, but it couldn't relieve it a bit.

Just when she was feeling nauseous in pain, someone suddenly lifted her quilt, and then a warm hand lifted off her coat, and touched her lower abdomen with the obscene clothes, rubbing it gently, making her feel Zhou Qingwu, who was dazed by the pain, immediately regained consciousness, and his heart skipped a beat.
