Butcher and little girl

When Mu Dingxiang woke up, it was warm next to her body, with the temperature of another person. She thought it was Chu Yu, but she didn't think so? Yes, after all, Chu Yu got up early every time he killed a pig? Sleep together until daylight.

Wei Wei propped herself up to see who it was, but Ji Yunniang, who was lying on the side, opened her eyes when she felt the movement around her.

When Mu Dingxiang saw that it was her in front of her, was she startled? She jumped, and stammered, "...Auntie...why are you here?"

Ji Yunniang saw that she regained her senses, and called her aunt again, thinking about what she said in her ear last night, didn't she? I don't know if she listened, and felt a little lost.

Although Mu Dingxiang knew her identity, she still chose to bury the truth silently in her heart, and she didn't think about forcing her and Liu Heng. Why didn't she recognize him back? Ji Yunniang suddenly felt that this child was so sensible that it made people feel distressed.

If it was before, Ji Yunniang might have found an excuse to explain why she was here, now? Don’t you bother to make up those lies now? She went down to the bed and said to her: "I'll make you some porridge , you are not in good health yet, you should lie down and take care of yourself first."

Ji Yunniang got up to get something to eat? Mu Dingxiang was lying on the bed. Although she was still a little weak, she no longer had a fever. After sleeping, she was much more energetic.

Seeing how Ji Yunniang was busy going in and out, I couldn't help but feel my eyes heat up. Although I didn't hear much of the babbling words and crying in my ears last night, I could probably understand it. What is she saying?.

She lay flat on the bed with her hands spread out, only to see that the sky was bright outside, the sun had already risen, and wisps of sunlight came in from the hole, setting off the dazzling white, as bright as her mood at this time.

Maybe it was too bitter a child, Mu Dingxiang never asked for much, a little care was enough to satisfy her, and Ji Yunniang's occasional smile made her shyly hide under the quilt.

It turns out that having a mother feels like this.

No one said anything, just getting along quietly like this, the weather began to heat up, and the sound of birds chirping outside made the tranquility of the whole valley even more.

With the sound of yelling outside, the masters began to come to start work. Just like in the past, there was no need for anyone to greet them.

Ji Yunniang cooked the porridge, brought it in and sat down on the bed to feed her. Mu Dingxiang was already in much better health at this time, so she had the nerve to let her feed herself.

Ji Yunniang looked into the eyes of the little girl and blushed with embarrassment. She insisted on eating by herself, but she didn't force it anymore. She put the porridge on the bedside with a smile, and watched her eat it lovingly.

Mu Dingxiang was a little uncomfortable being stared at by Ji Yunniang's fiery eyes? She was embarrassed, swallowed the porridge in her mouth, and said without words: "Last night, I seemed to hear my uncle's voice..."

"He has something to do in the morning, no? Of course he won't leave - I'll let him go back and deal with it first, and come back later."

After hearing this, Mu Dingxiang stopped talking? She swallowed the porridge in the bowl carefully.

Ji Yunniang looked at her small body. Although she was still thin, she was no longer as skinny as when she saw her before. She was comforted a lot, and she was also full of gratitude to Chu Yu.

Couldn't help but asked: "Last time I told you, did you...Chu Yu get closer to you?"

When Mu Dingxiang heard it, her body suddenly became hot, coughed lightly and said: "I...I haven't..."

Seeing her hesitation, Ji Yunniang knew that the child had nothing to do. Chu Yu was not bad in her eyes, but she was afraid that this? The child couldn't tell whether he was grateful for Chu Yu or the love between men and women.

"If it's Chu Yu? Hi, would you like to find another man in the future..."

When Mu Dingxiang heard this, her expression froze instantly, and her small mouth curled slightly, obviously feeling a little unhappy.

Ji Yunniang sighed slightly, patted her head with her hands and said: "Okay, okay, I know you like her, so I won't mention these things in the future? No? Get angry, okay?"

The voice was gentle and full of pampering, and it was different from Chu Yu's caring. It was another long-lost kind of caring. Only then did he relax? His face nodded.

"Then what I told you last time, if you still hide it, if someone beats you by then, it's up to you where to cry."

Seeing this, Mu Dingxiang blushed again when she brought it up again.

Before she could say anything, she heard footsteps outside, and Chu Yu came back.

The woman's slender body entered the hole, blocking out the thin rays of sunlight, and the expression on her face could not be seen clearly against the light.

After entering the cave, Chu Yu walked to the side of the bed, reached out and touched her forehead and said, "Huh~ no? It's burned."

Mu Dingxiang was greedy for the warmth of her hand, and rubbed it slightly.

Chu Yu felt the movement of his hands, and the arc of the corner of his mouth was fully expanding. He squeezed her ear: "We still have to rest well today."

Ji Yunniang felt neglected, and she was not unhappy. Her daughter and son-in-law have a good relationship, and it was too late for her to be happy.

Chu Yu looked up at this? Ji Yunniang said: "My aunt has worked hard to take care of Xiangxiang all night, so I need to rest well. When I came back, I brought two mats and quilts. There are two rooms below. Is the furniture ready? You can live in it.”

"Well, are you interested?" Ji Yunniang nodded, "No? But last night Xiang'er was very well-behaved and didn't make trouble at all, but I slept soundly."

As the two talked, they treated Mu Dingxiang like a child, which made her a little shy, but also faintly happy.

"I'll go clean up first, it smells like slaughtered pigs in the morning." Chu Yu walked out after finishing speaking.

Mu Dingxiang didn't think there was anything on Chu Yu's body? No? It smells good, she and Shiman are both familiar with butchering pigs? They handled it neatly and sweated a little, but every time they came back, they were disgusted by Zhu'er , I am also used to taking a shower as soon as I come back.

Now that Ji Yunniang stays in the cave all night, Zhu'er can only hide in the mountain behind. Usually during the day, the master comes to work, so it rarely shows up, and is very well-behaved.

After Chu Yu took a shower and tidied up and went into the cave, she heard Ji Yunniang telling Mu Dingxiang: "Don't run outside when it rains, you have to hold an umbrella when you go out."

She was suddenly angry: "Xiangxiang took the umbrella out? Was it stolen by the old witch from the Mu family? That's why I had to go home in the rain."

Only now did Ji Yunniang know the reason for Mu Dingxiang's illness, and her pretty face instantly turned cold, and she stood up without saying a word. She has always had a good temper, is gentle and restrained, and rarely loses her composure. You can see how angry you are by clenching your hands?

I went out, took two steps and then came in again. I guess I haven’t come up with anything yet? A good idea, but not yet? I wanted to leave my daughter, so I went down to the courtyard below to be in prison? .

After killing the pig this morning, Chu Yu went to buy quilts again. It was almost noon when he came back and delayed for a while. Seeing that the time was about the same, he started to make lunch.

Mu Dingxiang wanted to help, but was fixed by her eyes, but she didn't restrain her on the bed, and moved a stool for her to sit in the shadow of the cave entrance, and let her chat with her.

Ji Yunniang came up from below, holding a large pile of green vegetables in her arms, it turned out that she had gone to pick vegetables in the vegetable field.

She moved the bench and sat next to Mu Dingxiang, and began to choose dishes, while chatting with Chu Yu one after another.

Now that I have learned that Mu Dingxiang knows about her own life experience, although she has not revealed it on the surface, the way everyone gets along has also quietly changed. It is just a tacit understanding.

I killed a chicken at noon today, and stewed it with small yam and mushrooms, stir-fried pork belly with beans, and stir-fried a pig with three delicacies.

Each dish has a lot of weight, Chu Yu divided it? A small amount was eaten by the three of them, and the rest was given to the workers.

The chefs have long been used to the outstanding food of the Chu family, and every time it's meal time, they all ran up to help them carry the dishes with a smile on their faces.

The workers didn't need to be served when they ate. When they ate below, Chu Yu and the others also ate in the hole above.

Chu Yu's craftsmanship is good, and the rice is very fragrant, but both of their food are delicious, Ji Yunniang is full of praise, thinking about the recent hot business of Shiju, she has investigated with Liu Heng before, Shiju turned back There are more and more diners, most of which are due to the good taste of the food, mainly due to the grains grown from cloves.

I couldn't help but asked curiously: "This? How is the plant food grown in the valley? No? But the high-yield taste is much better than that of other houses, even the rice sent by my mother? .”

Chu Mu and Mu looked at each other. After a glance, Chu Yu turned around and smiled. He smiled and said, "The main reason is that the land in this valley is good, and they are all fertile fields. After Xiangxiang came, I went to pick up silt from the blocked river downstream. Come here to neutralize the soil, weed every day and take good care of it. No matter how high the yield is, how delicious the food is, is it right? Shang Xiangxiang has worked hard day after day."

Was Mu Dingxiang praised by her? Sorry, but Ji Yunniang felt distressed.

"It's all done now? You are a member of the Chu family, why do you have to work so hard? Chu Yu is so capable, don't you? You will be hungry. Should you rest or rest? If you have no money, come and ask me for it. Have your share."

Chu Yu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "This? You can't blame me. I told her when she first came here that she shouldn't have to farm the land. It doesn't matter if the land is left unused or rented to others. She can do it a little bit." Didn't even listen."

"This? Stupid child," Ji Yunniang scoffed. She glanced at her, "other people's children wish they could rest for a while, but you have caught up."

Mu Dingxiang knew in her heart that they cared about her, but she still couldn't help but argue: "The land at home is so fat, wasting it? It's a pity, and not? I do it all. She will go to the field to help when she is free in the afternoon. I'm not tired of the heavy work, and everyone is invited to help when harvesting, so I don't do much."

Ji Yunniang listened to Mu Dingxiang's words, and looked at Chu Yu with admiration in her eyes. She really agreed? There is an old saying: the more a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she is satisfied.

"Well, since you insist on farming, and the food is so delicious, I don't want to hinder you. After all, the business in your uncle's shop is so good now, it all depends on the food you planted. ?, no? In the future, if I am free, I will come to help you."

If it was Aunt Ji in the past, the two of them would have rejected her outright, but now they are still a family. If Ji Yunniang really wanted to help, that would be great. The two have been separated for so many years, and it would be nice to have more time to spend together.

But Mu Dingxiang, who is an expert at work, is not expecting Ji Yunniang to help.

"It would be great if my aunt could come. There's not much work here, and neither of us can do enough."

Ji Yunniang smiled but didn't say anything else. Now that the child recognizes her, this is already the most beautiful thing in the world. Although the past was miserable, I will only cherish it more in the future, and get over it for the better.

The author has something to say: Well, there is one more chapter
