talk about wine

Life in the village is very simple, work at sunrise and rest at sunset.In the village, there are not many two people who get along well with each other, which is even more plain and simple, but this kind of life has added a lot of happiness because of the company of each other.

The silkworm eggs have been successfully produced, and Meng Chuxi will pick mulberry leaves in the morning and put them in the house to dry them.

"The mulberry leaves for silkworms should not be wet or too hot, otherwise the silkworms will get sick after eating them." Meng Chuxi explained to Zhou Qingwu while arranging the picked young leaves.

Zhou Qingwu nodded. She took the mulberry leaf cutting knife and shredded the mulberry leaves. She did this kind of thing much better than Meng Chuxi, so the two performed their duties. Meng Chuxi took a coarse sieve to sift the mulberry leaves evenly. , such mulberry leaves are most suitable for fresh silkworms to eat.

The leaves are well fed, but the silkworm grows according to the wind, and changes every day.

Qingming has passed, and Meng Chuxi accompanied Zhou Qingwu to the mountain to worship her parents.The two simple earthen graves separated Zhou Qingwu from all his previous happiness and affection.Zhou Qingwu didn't cry, his expression was unexpectedly calm, even looking at Meng Chuxi beside him with a smile, she felt that her parents would also be happy for her.

Zhou Qingwu couldn't speak, and Meng Chuxi was also very quiet, but before the two left after burning incense, they whispered: "Uncle and aunt, I will take good care of Qingwu."

One sentence made Zhou Qingwu feel unspeakably moved and happy, but also a little apprehensive.

After Qingming, the seedlings have dyed the seedling field green, and the surrounding area is full of vitality.The seedlings in the field have grown two or three inches high, and by the end of May, the earlier ones can be ready for transplanting.

All kinds of wild flowers on the mountain are blooming brilliantly. The most eye-catching ones are azalea and jimuhua. There are clusters of azaleas and pink flowers growing from the shrubs. They don’t need friends and companions to form a landscape of their own. .There are also some shorter ones clustered together, like clusters of pink clouds, and occasionally there is a particularly bright red azalea, which is unique among the reds and is particularly dazzling.

Zhou Qingwu didn't come out today, she had menstruation, although she got better after treatment, and the pain was no longer so scary, but she was always uncomfortable.Meng Chuxi wanted to inspect the fields to see if the paddy fields were leaking, so she was not allowed to come.

Gathering up the missing ridges, Meng Chuxi squatted down and looked in the ditch next to the rice field. As she expected, there were a lot of loaches in it, which made her secretly happy.When the seedlings are planted and the rice blooms, you can catch loaches.

Looking up, I found a cluster of azaleas blooming on the mountain wall, especially a few of them were very beautiful, and Meng Chuxi couldn't help but feel a little moved.After thinking about it, she put down the hoe and slowly climbed over there from the hillside.The mountain wall was a bit steep, but fortunately it was not high, and it was overgrown with bushes, so it was easy to borrow strength. With this physical skill, she still climbed up.

Meng Chuxi grabbed a bush with her left hand to stabilize her body, and with her right hand, she went to pluck the flowers she liked.After successfully picking the flowers, Meng Chuxi flicked his left hand, hissed lightly, and accidentally caught a thorn, which seemed to be stuck in his finger.

However, Meng Chuxi looked at the flowers in his hand and laughed again. They were very pretty, and Zhou Qingwu would probably like them.After getting down from the top, she looked at the mountain, and simply took a hoe and walked up the mountain along the path.

There are many shrubs on this mountain, and the most prominent ones are azalea and jimuhua. Meng Chuxi picked some good ones and folded them, carefully fiddled with them, and found some good-looking grasses to match them, let alone such a tidying up. It's quite beautiful.

Just about to find some small wild flowers to decorate, Meng Chuxi suddenly smelled a familiar scent, is this orchid?She smelled the smell and searched around, and finally saw an orchid plant in the bushes. With a flick of her finger, the four or five orchids bloomed just right, and the yellow-green petals unfolded, revealing the slightly curled purple tongue inside. The fragrance is right in front of your eyes, it is rich and fragrant, but it is a delicate fragrance, which makes people want to sniff more, but it doesn't feel strong at all.

This is Chunlan, and Meng Chuxi couldn't help but feel happy. She loves orchids the most, nothing else.Especially this kind of wild orchid with simple flowers and no bright colors. After carefully digging up the soil, Meng Chuxi carefully dug out the orchid grass with the round roots.

Orchids are delicate, and orchids are easy to live, but if you want to continue to bloom next year after transplanting, you have to be careful.Thinking of the orchids that the girls in the village wore on their heads a few days ago, they laughed and talked by the river, and they were quite happy in their words. At that time, Zhou Qingwu also said that they were very fragrant.

Smelling the fragrance of orchids, Meng Chuxi pursed her lips and smiled, and finally returned home with Chunlan and the bouquet of wild flowers.

On the way, she met Liu's sister-in-law, and beside her was a young woman with a woman's hair in a bun.The clothes on her body are quite exquisite, the skirt made of silk and satin, embroidered with silver thread, is very luxurious, and there are two servant girls behind her, one can tell that it belongs to a rich family.And the appearance is also beautiful, with the head of Emei Qiong, and the skin is like creamy fat.

After a moment of surprise, Meng Chuxi guessed that the other party should be Zhou An'er, who was often mentioned by the villagers, the daughter of the village chief's family. It is said that she married a wealthy family in Jiangyin County, and she was quite dignified.

When she was looking at Zhou An'er, the other party was also looking at her.During the Chinese New Year this year, because something happened to her husband's family, she didn't have time to come back to visit her relatives, so she didn't return to the village until this time.

When she returned to Zhoujia Village, what she listened to the most was that other than the flattery and flattery of others, it was about the fact that the little mute of the Zhou family had picked up a woman.Hearing that in addition to being extremely beautiful, she was also very capable. She was a little curious and came here to chat with Liu's sister-in-law.

She looked at the person in front of her who was wearing a light blue narrow-sleeved shirt, with a simple and plain appearance, but even such a pair of rough clothes for working in the field still couldn't hide the warmth and elegance of her body, especially that face, which was too born exquisite.Especially those amber eyes, the brilliance in them can't be blocked at all, and they are out of place in this dilapidated small mountain village.

But staring at the whole person, carrying a hoe, and holding a bunch of pretty wild flowers in her hands, her appearance here is not at all obtrusive, at least far more suitable than herself in a fancy dress.Even though she was dressed far better than her, Zhou An'er felt an indescribable feeling. After Liu Shi introduced her identity to her, the other party's expression did not change, but it became stronger after slightly nodding her head.

It was clearly the first time they met, and they had never met her before, but Zhou An'er felt inexplicably that she had seen her somewhere before, and at the same time, she was very clear that she didn't like this woman.She obviously looked at herself, but there was no trace of envy and jealousy in her eyes that could not be suppressed by other people in the village, not to mention her younger brother told herself that this woman of unknown origin was terrifying, and she seemed to be a bully. her younger brother.

Sister-in-law Liu looked at the two people who were recognized as good-looking in the village. After comparing her eyes, she turned her eyes on Meng Chuxi's face again.

Of course, she quickly felt the search and displeasure in Zhou An'er's eyes, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.The road was not wide, Zhou An'er didn't intend to leave, nor did she intend to give way, Meng Chuxi also felt Zhou An'er's hostility, but didn't say anything, just stepped aside, waiting for her to leave or making use of it.

Mrs. Liu also had a good impression of Meng Chuxi, so she hurriedly helped out. She saw the flower in her hand early in the morning, and there was a refreshing orchid fragrance, and she smiled and said, "Chuxi, you are so excited, this wild flower was picked up by you." It's so pretty."

Meng Chuxi looked at the flowers in her left hand, and smiled lightly: "Sister-in-law Liu is too busy to do this, so I don't have the time to do this, I'm just busy."

"It's not idle, it's because I, a vulgar person, don't have such ingenuity. Ouch, I knew it was orchids as soon as I smelled it. It's so fragrant."

As she spoke, she looked at Meng Chuxi's back basket, and there was a clump of orchids in it, which were blooming just right.

Meng Chuxi nodded: "I just met."

She originally wanted to ask where Zhou Qingwu was, but Zhou An'er couldn't neglect her when she was here, and she didn't seem to like Meng Chuxi, so she hurriedly said: "Then don't delay your return, An'er just came back from Jiangning Mansion, and she hasn't seen her for a long time." Let's take a look, I'll take her around." Liu Shi said, glanced at Zhou An'er, and signaled to leave.

This sentence gave Zhou An'er some face when she came back from the Jiangning Mansion. She relaxed a little, glanced at Meng Chuxi and said, "This kind of wild flower looks gorgeous, but it's not good in appearance. Anyone in the village can comment on it. It can't be put on the table, and it can't compare with the expensive peonies and peonies in our house, which are luxurious and magnificent. But this orchid is of noble character and pleasant fragrance, but it is a bit ruined."

Meng Chuxi couldn't help being a little funny, Zhou An'er should be a few years older than Zhou Qingwu this time, her words are so meandering, not as cute as her little girl at all.

She picked up the flowers, looked at them, and said with a smile: "Wildflowers are adapted to the mountains and bloom one after another. It is because they are humble and tenacious in their bones. They are gorgeous but not ostentatious. They are not easy to gain fame, but they are regarded as contemptible and worthless. It is a grievance. The gate The house is suitable for peonies and peonies to compete for beauty, but it is difficult for them to be so free and enthusiastic, and they cannot be on the stage, but the stage is too small."

At the beginning of her speech, she was still as calm as water, but the more she talked later, the smile on the corner of her mouth became more obvious. Zhou An'er was blocked by her and couldn't speak, her face turned blue with anger, and she almost couldn't hold back her laughter when she saw her.The servant girl behind her watched her words and expressions, and hurried forward a few steps, and was about to make trouble, but Meng Chuxi took a slight step back: "Sister-in-law Liu, please accompany the guests, I'll go back first."

After finishing speaking, she went directly down from the field ridge, took two steps lightly and jumped back easily, smiled at the little girl who was less than five steps away from her, and carried the flowers directly behind her back.

"Qingwu, why are you here?"

Zhou An'er naturally saw Meng Chuxi's smile, her expression was completely different from just now, even if she felt uncomfortable, she had to admit that Meng Chuxi was very beautiful.

Zhou Qingwu waited at home for a long time and did not see Meng Chuxi coming back. He couldn't let go, so he came out to look for her, and stayed at home to watch the house.

From a distance, she saw Zhou An'er in fancy clothes, and Meng Chuxi who was blocked by the two of them.She didn't hear what they said clearly just now, but her intuition told her that Zhou An'er had no good intentions for Meng Chuxi, so she ran over quickly in a hurry.

After she came down, Meng Chuxi saw her. Zhou Qingwu watched Meng Chuxi get off the ridge and jumped up. A warm smile appeared on his originally calm and indifferent face, which immediately calmed Zhou Qingwu's impatient heart.She didn't bother to pay attention to Zhou An'er next to her, and hurriedly walked over to meet the full-eyed people.

Seeing her stretching out her hand and gesticulating, Meng Chuxi asked herself: Are you all right?

At the same time, she also glanced at the two people behind her, the meaning was self-evident.

Meng Chuxi lowered her head and chuckled, then shook her head: "Just wait."

Zhou Qingwu shook his head, then moved his nose unconsciously, sniffing at Meng Chuxi, this appearance is not to mention how cute.The more Meng Chuxi looked at her, the more she couldn't help laughing. She stretched out her hand to pinch her nose, and flicked her forehead with her fingers: "Why are you acting like a puppy?"

Zhou Qingwu narrowed his eyes and flinched for a moment, then blushed again, and gestured rather shyly: You smell so good, the scent of orchids.

Meng Chuxi didn't know why, seeing Zhou Qingwu like this, she couldn't help but feel weak, and wanted to pamper her and tease her again.

"The nose is so good? It's a pity that I wanted to surprise you, but now it's gone." She said regretfully.

Zhou Qingwu hurriedly shook his head: No, I was pleasantly surprised.

Her big eyes seemed to be able to speak, and Meng Chuxi felt that sometimes she could understand the meaning in her eyes without even watching her gesturing.So she didn't make too much of a fuss, and took out the bunch of wild flowers hidden behind her back and handed it to Zhou Qingwu.

The little girl was stunned for a while when she saw Hua, blinked her eyes, moved her right index finger, and then gestured: For me?

Meng Chuxi didn't miss the joy and disbelief that couldn't be suppressed after the surprise in her eyes, suddenly felt a little embarrassed, subconsciously clenched the hand holding the flower, slightly moved her eyes to look at her feet, and then said: "Tian Bian The flowers on the mountain are very beautiful, so I picked some, and it looks very beautiful when put together, so I will bring it back to you."

There was a gleam of light in Zhou Qingwu's eyes. She took the flower and lowered her head to sniff it, and then kept looking at it. The dimples at the corners of her mouth were particularly obvious.

Not only Meng Chuxi, but even Zhou An'er and Liu Shi who stopped behind could clearly see the joy and happiness in Zhou Qingwu's body.

Zhou An'er hadn't been back to Zhou's Village for a long time because her husband's family was doing business outside. The dumb person in her impression was clearly a person shrunk in her own world. Not to mention a smile on her face, she didn't even have any expressions that people should have. This made her feel a little unbelievable.

Even though someone told her that the little mute's life has turned upside down and her life is much better, but for a girl like this, she has never seen her happy appearance in a rich family at this moment, is it because of that bunch of broken wild flowers?What a pity!

"I've been married for almost a year now, and the village is still like this. Zhou Qingwu, you still haven't learned how to speak, and you're still a mute." She said Shi Shiran, seemingly regretful.

Zhou Qingwu was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't even look at her, he just looked at Meng Chuxi.

But Meng Chuxi watched the smile on the little girl's face froze for an instant, and just stared at him blankly, the tingling pain in his heart turned into an indelible anger in an instant.But she didn't want to have an insignificant quarrel with Zhou An'er, it would only bring more harm and trouble to Zhou Qingwu.

So she just lowered her eyebrows, and glanced back at her coldly: "So what, some people live their whole life without learning to speak human language, my family Qingwu is still young, and he can speak quite well. "After that, regardless of Zhou An'er's almost green face, he led Zhou Qingwu straight home.

Sister-in-law Liu was stunned, but she admired Meng Chuxi in her heart. Her tongue was really clever, and she didn't care about Zhou An'er at all, which made her terrified.

Zhou An'er gritted her teeth, flung her sleeves and lost all interest, and directly said coldly, "Don't watch it, go home!"

Zhou Qingwu, who was led by Meng Chuxi, failed to suppress the pair of small dimples all the way, holding the bunch of wild flowers in his right hand, looking at the flowers and Meng Chuxi from time to time, his heart beating fast.

She really couldn't control herself anymore, she wished she could hug Meng Chuxi and express her happiness at the moment, this feeling was too strong, so strong that Zhou Qingwu vaguely realized that there seemed to be something wrong with him.

She couldn't leave Meng Chuxi anymore, not relatives, but the feeling that made her heart beat faster just looking at it, it seemed that she had seen it in a book before, it was called Simu.
