silly wife

Chapter 87: Unhappy, see brother-in-law

Ovary's birthday is over, and soon it will be Xiongdandan's birthday.

The old people often divide the calendar into the lunar calendar and the solar calendar. Zifang doesn't understand that now. For him, Xiong Dandan was born at the end of September, but every time he arrives on that day, Xiong Dandan But the birthday, so the ovary was confused, and then I didn't remember it at all.

The ovary was in a daze, but Bao and the others were very sober.

October in the Gregorian calendar is generally recognized by ordinary people. In fact, September in the lunar calendar is Xiong Dandan’s birthday. Xiong Dandan was born at the turn of the end of the month, and the days are easier to remember. He was born at night. Everyone When he was sleeping peacefully, there was another saying that his zodiac sign was fullness, and that his life brought blessings. For this little Eggy's birthday, Bao and the others also made careful preparations, but no one told him.

If they didn't say anything, Xiong Dandan pretended to be himself, and after playing for two days, he completely forgot about his birthday.

In the middle of October in the Gregorian calendar, when the sun was shining brightly, Zifang and Xiong Dandan had lunch and lay down on the roof. Both of them were like lazy cats, with their bellies lifted to bask in the sun, and the wind was sunny , the sun was warm, the two of them groaned and almost fell asleep, Zifang turned over lazily, and saw someone riding a horse and carrying things towards their house outside Merlin, Zifang rubbed his eyes , snorted, and suddenly, he sat up suddenly: "Aku is back! Aku is here!" He shouted, and hurriedly climbed down the roof.

Seeing him suddenly rushing to open the door excitedly, Mrs. Bao, Mr. Shu and Zhang Dan thought there was something wrong, but after a short meeting, they saw a young man riding a horse to their door.

"Yeah, it's the young man." Uncle Shu saw the young man's appearance clearly, and hurriedly greeted him with Bao Shi and the others.

The young man's name is Cai Ju, and he has appeared at the door of the uncle's house since three years ago, but he always comes and goes in a hurry every time, and never stays at the uncle's house too much. The uncle only knows that he is Aku's friend. When the time comes, I will help to send some things back, but this year Cai Chen has not come for several months, and the uncle and others have almost forgotten about him.

After Zifang rushed out of the door, she circled around Xiaoyu: "Why is it only you, where is Aku? Where is Aku?".

"Aku didn't come, he's still in the army." Cai Chu said, looking at Uncle Shu and the others: "Before, the border war was very tight, so I couldn't come here. The war situation has improved these days, so I took the time to come here , brought some things back by the way."

The uncle smiled and sighed: "It's a long way, and I trouble you to make this trip again. The road is hard, so go into the house and have some tea and rest."

"No." Cai Ju took off the burden on the horse's back: "I have to go back later, so I won't rest. These are what Aku asked me to bring back. Most of them are some medicinal materials for the ovary. Here There are also some things that Aku asked me to pass on to you."

Zifang was not polite at all, took the burden and began to rummage.

Zhang Dan, Bao Shi and the others stretched their heads to see that the bundles were full of precious medicinal materials. What surprised them the most was that in the other small bundle, besides some gadgets, there were actually silver bills! ! !

"This! How good is this!" Uncle Shu was shocked on the spot.

Cai Chen said: "This banknote is Aku's salary, he saved it up bit by bit, don't feel bad, uncle, they don't spend much in the army, besides, compared to Aku, they are still children. Fang's body is important."

Uncle Shu was silent, and some didn't know what to say.

Bao's eyes were slightly red: "It's hard for Aku, he's still thinking about his family when he's away from home."

"No letter..." Zifang looked at Cai Chu sullenly: "Why is there no Aku, and no letter from Aku? Did you hide the letter?".

Cai Chen was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "Oh, letter, when I came out, Aku was busy fighting and had no time to write, so I didn't bring the letter back."

Zifang was displeased: "Aku lied, Aku lied, he said he would let people take a letter home" Zifang said, her eyes wet, and she cried.

Zhang Dan hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him: "Don't cry, elder brother. The second brother is busy. The second brother didn't mean it. Didn't the second brother ask the little brother to bring you the medicinal materials? Don't cry, the elder brother."

"I don't want medicinal materials, I want Aku." The more Zifang thinks about it, the more uncomfortable she seems: "Aku lied to me, I want Aku, I don't want medicinal materials, Aku has gone bad, he is broken."

Bao Shi also hurriedly coaxed him: "Yes, Ah Ku is broken, let's go back to the house and write to Ah Ku, scolding him why he lied to us, Ovary stopped crying."

"Okay! Write a letter to scold him!" Zifang wiped away her tears and looked at Cai Chen: "You are not allowed to leave, you have to give me the letter to Aku! Next time Aku doesn't write to me, you won't let me either." coming!".

Cai Chen was obviously taken aback for a moment, then nodded with a smile: "Okay, I won't go, I'll wait for you here."

The uncle sighed: "Come in and sit for a while, and there is no rush to leave for a while."

Cai Chu nodded, tied up the horse, and then entered the uncle's house.

In the room, Zifang held the pen for a long time and didn't drop it. I don't know if it was because he didn't receive Aku's letter this time.When Bao looked at it, his heart ached. She was about to speak, but Zifang lowered her head and began to write.

Uncle Shu and Cai Cha didn't wait too long, Zifang came out with the letter, and he looked at Cai Cha with red eyes, as if he still had some resentment: "You tell Aku! If he doesn't reply to my letter next time, I won't." He is gone! He is not allowed to send anything in the future, or I will throw things out!".

Cai Chen took the letter, seeing Zifang like this, he couldn't laugh or cry, he made a promise, and then he said goodbye to the uncle and others.

After Cai Chen left, Zifang turned around and went back to the house. Because he didn't receive Aku's letter, he was in a bad mood all day, and he was depressed all day.

Seeing that he was unhappy, Xiong Dandan scratched his head and didn't bother him. When eating at night, Xiong Dandan took the chopsticks and put meat in the ovary bowl: "Daddy, eat meat!"

Zifang glanced at him and brought some food for him.

Xiong Dandan frowned immediately: "I don't like green peppers..."

"Eat!" Ovary frowned.

Xiongdandan was bored for a while, and then pitifully put the green pepper into his mouth.

Mangzhu looked at him like that, and patted Xiong Dandan's head with a distressed look.

Bao Shi and the others watched with smiles in their eyes.When he looked at the ovary again, he ate silently with a bowl in his hand.

Classes in the school continued every day, but the ovary never came these days, Cui Nanguan couldn't help but look at the last row of seats, there was nothing there.

So these days, Zifang doesn't need a new story, and Cui Nanguan is also worried that it will cause Bao Shi and others to wait outside the plum grove of the concubine... The current situation is really in a dilemma...

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, in the ninth month of the lunar calendar, Xiong Dandan's birthday is approaching. At the same time, Cui's family has been in Peach Blossom Village for more than half a year. In March, it will be the New Year's Eve.

At this time, Zifang misses Aku more, counts the days every day, and hopes to celebrate the new year soon, Zhang Dan sees his hopelessness, shakes his head with a smile, tells Bao Shi, and then takes his things and leaves .

Since Zhang Dan went to Boss Jin's place alone last time, Bao Shi didn't go with her anymore, and only handed Zhang Dan to Du Lei. The Bao family was completely relieved, and today, too, Zhang Dan followed Du Lei into the town and delivered the goods at Boss Jin's shop. Boss Jin took a look at Zhang Dan's embroidery samples, and was immediately overjoyed: "Dan Girl, your hands seem to be getting more and more skillful, and the work you embroider is much better than those embroiderers."

Zhang Dan also joked: "I dare not compare with those embroiderers, but I have studied for so many years, and I have Aunt Jin's guidance. If I can't do it again, how can I be worthy of Aunt Jin?".

Boss Jin smiled and nodded her nose: "Nizi has a sweet mouth."

Zhang Dan smiled.

Boss Jin suddenly remembered something: "By the way, you said last time that your nephew's birthday is coming soon, right?".

"Yeah, it's been two days."

Boss Jin smiled, took something out of the drawer and handed it to Zhang Dan: "This is a little thought I gave to the child, you take it...".

"This can't make it..."

"What can't be done?" Boss Jin interrupted Zhang Dan, smiling: "This is not for you, why are you so anxious?".

"But……".

"Don't worry about it," Boss Jin said, "I heard you say that your little nephew is not in good health. I just thought of a piece of crystal stone here. In my hometown, this crystal stone can help people cure diseases. It is best if it is effective, if it is not effective, treat it as a gadget, and it can be used in an emergency in the future.”

Hearing that it has the effect of curing diseases, Zhang Dan was a little moved, but...

"This thing... is too expensive...".

Boss Jin smiled: "Don't think it's precious, I still have something here that I might ask you to do, I don't know if you can do it."

"What is it?".

Boss Jin said: "This is what Mr. Chen's family in the town ordered. It is a screen. On the one hand, he wants to announce the good news to the birthday star, and on the other hand, he wants to gallop ten thousand horses. Let me ask you, if it is done, there will be 300 taels of silver."

Zhang Dan thought for a while and asked: "Then he can tell, how long does he want this screen?".

"28 in two months." Boss Jin frowned: "Is there enough time?".

Zhang Dan frowned, and pondered for a moment: "Time is really tight, it's not difficult to announce the happy birthday, but it's just that thousands of horses are galloping...".

Boss Jin laughed: "You girl, I have asked other embroiderers before, and everyone said that galloping horses are the most difficult to embroider, and there are only two months, and no one dares to accept it, but you you are welcome……".

Zhang Dan also laughed: "That's why my asking price is higher."

Boss Jin was taken aback.

Zhang Dan said with a smile: "800 taels, if he is willing, I will take this guy."

"800 taels?" Boss Jin was surprised, but at the same time worried: "Girl, this is not a joke. If you can't embroider it by then, you will be in big trouble."

Zhang Dan just smiled: "Aunt Jin, don't worry, since I dare to ask for a price, I will naturally do what I say. After working with you for so many years, when did I break my promise to you?".

Boss Jin thought about it seriously, and finally nodded: "Okay, I'll let someone go back to Mr. Chen."

Zhang Dan nodded: "Okay, then I will come back at this time tomorrow."

"Okay, you go back, be careful on the road."

"Aunt Jin won't send you off, so you stay."

800 taels is not a small number, and it would be a fortune to put it in those big families. Zhang Dan dared to say this because she knew the truth in her heart. Now she just needs to wait and see if the Chen family can afford this price.

After leaving Boss Jin's shop, Zhang Dan went to a place where he was better with Du Lei, but he didn't see Du Lei. She turned her head and looked around, but she still couldn't find Du Lei, but it suddenly started raining. The sudden arrival caught everyone on the street by surprise.

Zhang Dan panicked, turned around and ran to an eaves to hide from the rain, but just got in, and tripped over something, which made Zhang Dan stagger, and suddenly rushed forward, but plunged headlong into a... In the arms of the man.

The man half-lyed on the ground, and was hit by Zhang Dan with a muffled groan. Zhang Dan only took one look, and hurriedly backed away in fright. The man didn't move, but frowned.

Outside the eaves, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it seemed to form a rain curtain, isolating everything outside the eaves.

Zhang Dan stepped back, his back was soaked by the heavy rain, so he had no choice but to stop and stared at the man warily.The man was about twenty years old, wearing rough clothes, his long hair was a little messy, and his head leaning on the ground was a bit rough, but the man's eyebrows and eyes were quite good-looking, but the outline of his face seemed too rigid.The more Zhang Dan was afraid, the more vigilantly he stared at the man, but he didn't expect the man to suddenly open his eyes and meet Zhang Dan's eyes.

Zhang Dan was frightened, and wanted to back away again, but the man suddenly said, "It's going to rain if I go out again."

Zhang Dan paused, not daring to move again.

The man stared at Zhang Dan for a while, then took a deep breath, stood up against the wall, Zhang Dan watched carefully, and found that his waist was a little dark red, like blood stained on it, Zhang Dan was suspicious, and then Glancing at the man, he found that he was also looking down at him. He hurriedly turned around and shrank to the side, but he didn't want to. The man suddenly moved and walked into the rain curtain, and there was no other word.

Zhang Dan subconsciously stared at his back, secretly relieved, but at the same time felt strange.

Since he knew it was raining outside, why did he still walk into the rain?Zhang Dan didn't expect it, but the man's back was completely submerged in the rain.

The heavy rain came and went quickly, but it stopped within an hour. When Du Lei found Zhang Dan, he let out a long breath. His face was pale and he was obviously frightened. Zhang Dan smiled at him : "Brother Du Lei, don't worry, I'm fine."

Du Lei patted his chest: "It's good to find you. I'm not prepared for the sudden rain. Okay, let's go back quickly. It's probably dark when we return to the village."

Zhang Dan nodded and followed Du Lei away.

It's just that the carriage was wet from the rain and it was inconvenient for people to sit in it, so Du Lei simply got some hay to spread on it, and the two set off back.

It was getting dark, at the entrance of the village, Du Lei's carriage just happened to meet Cui Yan who had come back from outside the village.

When Cui Yan saw Zhang Dan sitting in the carriage, he immediately tensed up. Zhang Dan also blushed a little when he saw him.

Du Lei didn't know what happened, so he stopped the carriage and greeted Cui Yan: "Brother, you just came back from town?".

"Yes, yes." As soon as he saw Zhang Dan, Cui Yan became nervous, and unconsciously stuttered.

Zhang Dan laughed out loud.

Cui Yan was even more embarrassed.

Du Lei smiled: "Why don't you come up, I'll take you for a ride, there's still a way to get in."

"This..." Cui Yan was embarrassed.

Zhang Dan's face turned redder.

Du Lei smiled: "Come on, come on, everyone in the village, what are you afraid of?"

Du Lei warmly invited him, Cui Yan couldn't refuse, but he felt nervous when he saw Zhang Dan...

Zhang Dan looked at him, thought for a while and said, "Brother Du Lei has called you so many times, so you should come up, or you won't be able to go back when it gets dark."

"Yeah yeah".

"Then...then thank you."

The carriage wobbled.

On the car board, Cui Yan and Zhang Dan were sitting on one side, each blushing and daring not to speak.Du Lei didn't know his back was against the two of them, he just drove the carriage.

Cui Yan couldn't help but looked at Zhang Dan twice, and then asked her hesitantly, "You, you also came back from outside the village?".

"Hmm..." Zhang Dan said, "I went to the town to do some shopping, but I didn't expect to come back late when it rained."

"Then are you drenched in the rain?" Cui Yan seemed a little anxious, and he didn't stutter when he told him: "If you are drenched in the rain, you must get some ginger soup to drink when you go back, otherwise you will be ill, especially if you are sick. It's still a daughter's family, so you should be more careful if you are thin."

Zhang Dan gave a muffled hum and stopped talking.

Cui Yan saw that her face was getting redder, so she realized that she was presumptuous, and she also blushed immediately.

When Du Lei stopped the carriage, he saw that the faces of both of them were flushed as if they had been hit by a red shrimp, and he couldn't help being suspicious: "What's wrong with you two? Why are you both so red?".

"No, it's nothing." Cui Yan began to stammer again: "I'm just being hot, yes, hot, hot."

Du Lei was suspicious: "It's hot? Didn't it rain before? Why is it still hot?".

Cui Yan: "...".

"Pfft..." Zhang Dan was so teased that she couldn't help laughing. She looked at Du Lei and said, "It's not early today, so I'm going home first. I have to trouble Brother Du Lei tomorrow to take me into town at the same time."

Du Lei said straightforwardly: "It's easy to say, easy to say."

Zhang Dan thanked him, took another look at Cui Yan, then turned and left.

Cui Yan stared at her back for a while, and then couldn't help asking Du Lei: "I just happen to have something to go into town tomorrow, can you take me along too?".

"Okay, then tomorrow, you will wait for me at the entrance of the village." Du Lei was straightforward, completely unaware that Cui Yan's heart was already flying.

Zhang Dan seemed to be very happy when she returned home. She stood by the door, not noticing that Zifang was standing behind her, looking at her suspiciously. Fang was taken aback.

"Brother, what are you doing hiding behind me secretly? You scared me!".

Zifang tilted her head to look at her, and suddenly asked, "Do I want a brother-in-law?".

Zhang Dan was startled, and her face flushed immediately, she said coquettishly, "Don't talk nonsense!".

"Then you look like spring?"

"You!" Zhang Dan's face turned into a pig's liver when he was blocked by him.

Zifang scratched her head and reached out to open the door: "Let me see what my brother-in-law looks like, let me see, see."

"Brother!" Zhang Dan pulled him hastily: "What kind of brother-in-law is there? Don't talk nonsense, or be careful and I will tell Ah Chou not to give you food!".

Zifang felt aggrieved when he heard it: "I'm so hungry if I don't give you food."

"Then you can't talk nonsense."

Zifang nodded: "Then don't cut off my food."

"Then be obedient."

Being threatened by Zhang Dan with food, Zifang was very wronged, but because of the food, he couldn't speak, and he was depressed all day long. Zhang Dan felt a little distressed seeing him like that, and he can imagine that he is outspoken and dare not soften his heart. Turned around as if he didn't see it.
