Butcher and little girl

For a long time, Chu Yu has been frank and frank with Mu Dingxiang most of the time, at most he just teases her for fun, but like now he said obsessively? She is so beautiful, like this? Almost never.

Although Mu Dingxiang has never experienced any emotional matters, she is humble and sensitive from the bottom of her heart, so she can subtly feel the inner fluctuations from Chu Yu. In the past few days, Chu Yu seems to be more and more out of touch with each other. Wife? Attitude.

This kind of cognition made Mu Dingxiang's heart agitated, and because of the other party's words just now, her heart beat like a drum, she was shy and a little bit at a loss.

Chu Yu quickly recovered from the delusions just now. The little girl in front of her eyes had nowhere to rest her eyes? It made her feel pity. She put down the hoe in her hand and walked up to her, holding her hand.

Seeing her approaching, Mu Dingxiang wanted to raise her head to look at her quietly, but she didn't want to get into the man's fiery eyes. Their eyes collided. She hurriedly lowered her head and wanted to take two steps back. But Chu Yu held her hand and couldn't break free. As the other's arm tightened, she had to lower her head and press her forehead against her chest.

Chu Yu chuckled, and took her into his arms, hugging her full.

For the first time, two people who were once lonely and helpless felt their hearts were so close.

Chu Yu lowered his head and looked at the fluffy head in his arms. He was half happy and half emotional. He went round and round, but finally fell on a little girl who was ten years younger.

The little girl in her arms raised her head at some point, with two black eyes? She looked at her shyly but timidly, her face still blushing. Chu Yu tapped her small nose and said, "Mrs. It’s hot, let’s go home first, and come out to work later when the sun is lower, shall we?”

The little girl had nothing to do, she broke away from Chu Yu's hand, took the shovel, and walked two steps ahead of her.

After walking two steps and not hearing it? There was movement in front of him, he stopped again, and turned to look at Chu Yu.

Only then did Chu Yu raise the corners of his mouth and quickly followed with a hoe on his shoulder.

Back home, the cave is much cooler, the breeze blows in from the entrance of the cave, eating a mouthful of wild pears picked from the mountain? The sweet and refreshing juice enters the abdomen along the esophagus, and the whole body feels refreshed.

"It's hot now, the masters are here to build a house? Will? No? I can't bear it." Mu Dingxiang was a little worried.

"It's autumn now, and the autumn tiger is a little hotter, but it's better than before. The masters do this job all year round, and they know to avoid the hottest time, and our house? If you want to ask them to build it? At this time of year, people who are building houses in winter are queuing up, if not for this time we would have to wait until next year.”

Mu Dingxiang frowned when she heard that it was going to be scheduled for next year. "That's it? It's hard work for the masters. I'll go up the mountain to pick some herbs and come back to make herbal tea for them to drink."

There is a family surnamed Zhao in the village who makes herbal tea all the year round and transports it to the county for sale. Mu Dingxiang often goes to help their family cut pigweed and knows some herbs.

"I discussed with Boss He yesterday. About six masters came to help build the house? We have to provide Chinese food, and they will take care of breakfast and dinner by themselves."

Chu Yu told Mu Dingxiang in detail what he discussed with Boss He yesterday, "I'll kill the pig in the morning, and bring back the meat of the day by the way. There are radishes and vegetables grown at home. I don’t need to buy anything anymore, I will go to the county tomorrow to buy more potatoes and yams, these things are durable and can be used at any time.”

"Well, I'll cook with you when the time comes." Mu Dingxiang said eagerly, she had learned some cooking skills from Chu Yu in the past six months, but she was worried that she would not have the opportunity to show it off.

"Okay, then I will rely on you, a great chef." Chu Yu couldn't help teasing her.

Mu Dingxiang knew that she was teasing herself again, so she gave her a fierce look.

Chu Yu looked at her small appearance and smiled, then thought for a while and said, "The masters will come over in the next day, and we will let them build a small thatched shed in the shade of the trees below, and when the sun is high at noon, they can Take a rest in the shed, it can protect you from the wind and rain even if it rains, I turned around and said to the manager, let him control the manpower, don't let them come up near the entrance of our cave, don't be afraid."

After Mu Dingxiang heard these arrangements from Chu Yu, she was very moved. Since she grew up, no one had ever arranged everything for her in such a detailed way. Are there two women? But she is the only one who cares about and arranges, and I love her even more in my heart.

Thinking of the silver and banknotes in the jar earlier, I couldn't help but ask: "If such a good master is invited to build the house, is our silver enough?"

"What do you think, one in our country once entered a small yard? There are only a few houses left and right? Four or fifty taels is more than enough. If you want to make other furniture, add it up? It's only a few taels of silver? Our pot There are more than 50 taels in it, so put your heart in your belly."

Mu Dingxiang just smiled and relieved her heart.

On the eighth day of the lunar new year, after Chu Yu killed the pig, he went to the county to buy some grains and vegetables that were not grown at home, as well as condiments such as salt for cooking, and then bought a whole pig from the butcher shop. Take it back and fry it into oil for later use.

Wang Xiaoxi has been here for two days, and she has adapted very well. Although the little girl is not as good as Mu Lixiang, she is agile. She has not made any mistakes, and she is very happy. She will go to that stop? Especially? pleasing.

Seeing that there was nothing to worry about, Chu Yu explained a few words and went home with his things on his back.

On the morning of the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, Liu Heng and Ji Yunniang came in a carriage early, and they also brought a cart full of things, including some things that Chu Yu hadn't thought of before, including sacrificial incense, pig heads, and chickens. Wait, Chu Yu just realized that he had made a lot of omissions in his novice skills.

Carloads of blue bricks began to be transported into the valley one by one as the sun rose. Waiting for Boss He to pull a cart full of people? When you pass the stone bridge, the auspicious time is almost here. , the invited Taoist priests jingled and knocked for a while, and set off a string of firecrackers to start moving.

Although Chu Yu was thoughtful about things, he was not stingy with money. The Taoist priest took the interest money and the pig's head meat and left happily. Each of the masters who came to work also received a red envelope, not too much, not too little, But this good sign is real. Everyone is smiling and working with great enthusiasm.

When Mu Dingxiang got up early, she boiled a large pot of herbal tea, added some mangosteen fruit, it was cool and sweet with a hint of sweetness, it tasted refreshing and thirst-quenching, and all the masters were full of praise.

Zhu'er hid near the entrance of the cave, watching the people coming and going curiously. It was rare to see such a lively scene in the valley. She wanted to run out to play with everyone, but was kicked back by Chu Yu.

The shed for rest? It was set up quickly, and there is a tall neem tree next to it, which is lush and big, and a few stools are set up. It is also a good place to rest.

The workers see that the master is caring, the wages they pay are suitable, and the working atmosphere is also very good, and I heard that the master is a female butcher, so if they want to come for lunch? Not too bad, everyone is riveting Enthusiastic, the whole scene is in full swing.

Chu Yu and Liu Heng also did things together, helping each other and supervising the work, all in harmony.

Because Ji Yunniang was still there, Mu Dingxiang was not in a hurry to go to work in the field, and talked with her for a while, but saw that Ji Yunniang stuffed her a small notebook, and mysteriously let her Put it away and take it out again when no one is around.

Although she didn't know what it was, when Mu Dingxiang remembered what Ji Yunniang had quietly said to herself two days ago, she knew what it was without thinking about it.

Ji Yunniang couldn't help laughing at her thin skin: "You'll be seventeen in a few days, why are you still so shy, I'm already pregnant at your age—"

At this point, Ji Yunniang stopped for some reason, but Mu Dingxiang opened her eyes wide and asked, "Aunt Ji knows my birthday?"

Ji Yunniang sighed slightly before saying: "Well, at that time, our family Niannian was born with you before and after, so I remember it very clearly."

When Mu Dingxiang heard what Ji Yunniang said, and then thought of the delicate girl she saw when Mrs. Ji was celebrating her birthday, and then thought of her rough and rough days before, she felt a little sleepy Sick, but still pulled himself together and replied: "Miss Niannian is really lucky to have such a mother like an aunt."

Ji Yunniang heard the girl's lonely voice, but she didn't dare to turn her head away. Looking at her, she was afraid that she would shed tears if she was not careful. Do you hear the same in the voice?

After the girl sighed faintly, her voice became brisk again: "I'm not too bad, I have Chu Yu now, and I also feel very happy."

It took a lot of effort for Ji Yunniang to suppress the surge in her heart, and she said after a while: "Well, I think Chuyu is pretty good, and you will be blessed if you follow her."

When Mu Dingxiang heard that Chu Yu was recognized, she was happier than she was praised.

Building a shed in the morning again? Engaging in ceremonies, there are many things to do, and it will soon be noon, and Chu Yu also came to the stove to start cooking.

Considering the large number of people, I added an extra stove? But Ji Yunniang? Did you know it beforehand? Someone else’s family hired someone to build a house? Just two dishes and one soup for lunch, and a meat dish is fine. The most important thing is the quantity enough.

The men did all physical work, and Chu Yu didn't want to be stingy about this. After discussing with everyone, he ordered three dishes and one soup, including two meat and two vegetables.

The master of the helper couldn’t help but smile when he heard it. In the past, it took a month or two to build a house, and the host’s house provided meals at most? As long as you are full, it’s good to have a meat dish. Now Chu Yu can have four dishes, how can he not teach them to be happy.

The work below is in full swing, and Ji Yunniang can't help itching and wants to cook with her. Before Liu Heng made a fortune, she also worked hard with him. Today's life is better, no need She worries about these things, but she can't take it easy. There are some long-term workers and servants at home, but she still wants to cook for Liu Niannian and Liu Zhuo every day, and now she comes here to see the big guys I'm so busy, I can't help but want to show my hands.

Chu Yu became a helper, helping to wash and chop vegetables. Seeing that there was nothing to do by herself, Mu Dingxiang could only sit by the side and watch them busy.

He had just started cooking, and saw a shambling figure approaching from a distance, and it turned out to be Mrs. Ji, with a big bag of things in her hand.

When Liu Heng saw his mother-in-law coming, he hurried forward to help carry the things. Chu Yu took it and saw that there were several pieces of bacon. He and Mu Dingxiang looked at each other, and then carried them back. Let Aunt Ji take them go home.

Mrs. Ji became angry when she heard it, and said, "Cloves build a house? I can't help you. I still have a few pieces of bacon at home. I took them to cook for a few masters. The masters eat well and work hard, so they can build a house." ? Also? Firm, beautiful.

Now in the village, those who can eat meat can only have the treatment that only rich families have. They kill pigs and cured a few pieces of bacon during the New Year's festival, and they are reluctant to eat them. Ji's family has Liu Heng. A son-in-law is not so hard-pressed, but he is just an ordinary family, and bacon is also a precious thing for their family. Now Aunt Ji brought over four or five pieces of bacon as thick as an arm, Chu Yu How dare you accept Hemu Lilac.

When Ji Yunniang saw it, she took the bag and accepted it for them. Chu Yu knew the story behind it, so she couldn't make a sound if she wanted to refuse. She had no choice but to accept it by default.

Mu Dingxiang, on the other hand, was moved, holding Aunt Ji's arm and reluctant to let go.

Chu Yu: Mother-in-law, I went to pollute my daughter-in-law just after you finished talking.
