Butcher and little girl

Apart from the last bumper harvest, today is the busiest day in the Chu family for so many years. The Ji family came to help prepare early in the morning. Other women in the village also came one after another. Seeing that the Ji family and daughter have They started to prepare the ingredients, and came over to help them work.

Chu Yu is a butcher, and she usually buys meat from her? Everyone knows that she is a generous person, so they know that this meal will definitely not be bad. Let’s see? Look? On the table next to me? A big bowl of meat, Everyone was overjoyed, and hurriedly found something to do by themselves, working very hard.

Is the yard one to enter? The yard, the kitchen is small, and the open fire and cooking and eating are all done in the open space outside the yard. This open space is very large. Chu Yu specially asked the craftsmen to help build it for the purpose of drying the grain in the future. Now With so many people in the village coming to drink, this place just came in handy.

Fortunately, the weather is also very good, the sun is not too cloudy, and there is no need to build a shed to cover it.

When Ji Yunniang came from the county, she brought a big bag of melon seeds and candies. There are also some children when they come? Eat it, and it immediately becomes lively.

Liu Niannian and Liu Zhuo also came to drink with their parents. She didn't know about her life experience, but she only thought that her parents had a good relationship with Chu Yu, and the undried food was transported back to her yard. It is not surprising that the parents, grandma and uncle are helping each other with their work.

Liu Niannian was raised very well by Ji Yunniang, her skin is delicate and fair, she has been educated, and she has a bookish smell, gentle? A little girl, she didn't care about sitting and slacking off after she came, and followed her mother to choose vegetables and wash dishes .

The women in the village saw that the eldest lady in the city was also working together, and kept boasting that Ji Yunniang would raise a daughter.

When Ji Yunniang was praised so much, she subconsciously raised her head and glanced at Mu Dingxiang, who was washing vegetables together, and said with a smile when she saw the little girl: "My aunt is indeed good at raising, and Miss Niannian is also good at learning."

Only then did he put his heart back into his stomach, and continued talking and laughing with the women.

Liu Niannian's impression of Mu Dingxiang is naturally very deep. In the past, when he came back during the holidays, he would hear more or less about the Mu family. It was unbearable to hear, thinking of mother's love for me and my younger brother, I felt that this girl was very pitiful.

I also bumped into my grandmother secretly bringing her food? The little girl was thin and small, hiding in the corner with food in her hands and gobbling it up.

It's just that her mother told her not to get involved with the Mu family, and she just watched secretly, not daring to go up to say hello to her.

Coupled with what happened to Mu Kongqing earlier, she even gave up the idea of ​​contacting the Mu family.

It's all right now, Mu Dingxiang left the Mu family with the help of Chu Tuhu, and Liu Niannian couldn't help being happy for her. Although Chu Tuhu is a woman, she is so strong and fierce, the Mu family can't beat her, and she won't dare in the future It's a good home to come to bully people.

Now that the parents are on good terms with the Chu family, naturally they won't keep her from talking to Mu Dingxiang. Now they are helping? They are all a group of uncles and old sisters-in-law, and the younger ones are only the two of them, so they went to Mu Dingxiang I moved the small stool over there, planning to wash vegetables and chat with her for a while.

Mu Dingxiang looked at her white and delicate hands reaching into the vegetable bowl, and then at her own slightly rough fingers, and smiled a little embarrassedly.

Liu Niannian didn't take it seriously, bent over while washing the dishes and said, "I? I belong to a pig. What do you belong to?"

Mu Dingxiang said: "I? I also belong to the pig."

"What a coincidence, but you look younger than me. I was born on the second day of September. How about you?"

Mu Dingxiang said with some hesitation: "I?...I was born in early September?"

Liu Niannian smiled: "I didn't expect you to be a day older than me because our birthdays are so close. I thought you were my younger sister."

Seeing her innocent face, Mu Dingxiang's face slowly unfolded, and she pursed her lips and smiled: "Then you have to call me sister."

Ji Yunniang just came over to pour water, and she was stunned for a while when she heard the conversation between the two little girls. Thinking of what the two of them just said about the sister and sister, I wanted to go forward to correct it, but found that I couldn't refute it, so I had to let the two sisters and sisters make mistakes.

The cooking today? The dishes are very rich. Chu Yu has invited a few people who are in charge of the spoons in advance. Liu Heng can't help but show his hands. He chatted together, cooking? A few men gathered together, talking and laughing, mixed with the sound of cooking.

This place was almost busy, so Mu Dingxiang got up and greeted the guests together with Chu Yu. Although both of them were women, Chu Yu's reputation as a good woman was already tacitly understood by everyone, and of course there were some who disagreed. But he closed the door and spoke his own words, and he couldn't say anything harsh to the two of them in front of them.

Moreover, Chu Yu was a soldier, no matter whether she is a well-known figure in the village or county? If she came back with military merits, even the county magistrate would give her some face, but she was used to keeping a low profile and doing this again. Butchering pigs for a living made people gradually forget her past identity.

Now seeing that Chu Yu has built a new house again and made friends with the rich people in the city, these days are flourishing, and no one wants to have a bad relationship with her at this time.

The villagers came one after another, Mu Dingxiang saw that Mu Yuzhu also came, why did she hold her son? Xiaobao leaned against the door with some timidity, hurried over to hold her hand and said, "When will the eldest sister come?" It’s all because I went to work with them on the stove? It’s all because I didn’t greet you.”

Mu Yuzhu looked at the completely changed Mu Lilac, and then looked? Look? The tall walled courtyard behind her, couldn't help feeling a little timid and afraid to go forward, and said weakly: "... also just now Soon."

Does Mu Dingxiang know that she is the eldest sister? With her temper, she didn't say anything, she grabbed a handful of candy and gave it to He Xiaobao, and asked him to find other children to play, while she took Mu Yuzhu's hand into the yard to visit Home? New yard.

Liu Niannian at the back finished washing the dishes, saw the two sisters here, and trotted over to follow.

"Ding Xiang, I? Let's go to see the new house with you too."

Naturally, Mu Dingxiang was not unwilling, she took her hand and walked towards the yard with crooked eyebrows.

Mu Yuzhu also recognized Liu Niannian, but her mother used to order the family's children not to talk to Ji's family members, so she never said a word to Liu Niannian before. Entering the yard, he hesitated a little and dared not follow in.

How about Mu Dingxiang? I don't know what's going on in her heart, but in fact the two people around her are biological sisters, so she felt that she couldn't let her go, so she simply dragged them into the yard one by one.

There was no one in the courtyard, and when the villagers came, they came in and took a look around before going out.

Once you enter the courtyard, it is not too big. There is a main room in the front, and an ear room on each side. Then, the east and west wing rooms stand opposite each other. Behind it is an inverted room with neat blue bricks and gray tiles. Various small flowers and grasses are planted in the yard. Be a little warm.

Such a courtyard is actually common in rural areas, and some are even larger than it, but from the perspective of the overall structure, it is definitely not as exquisite and firm, and the materials used are not as sophisticated as the Chu family.

There happened to be a few women in the yard looking at the house, and Mu Dingxiang greeted them with a smile.

Mu Yuzhu looked at her younger sister as if she had changed, not only her appearance had undergone a great change, but she even revealed a sense of grandeur on her body, quite like the demeanor of a housewife, her eyes were full of It's envy, but I don't know when I will be like her.

On the side, Liu Niannian said with a surprised face: "Ding Xiang, I think you look very much like my mother, not to mention, even your looks are somewhat similar, hey, I don't know? I thought you two were mother and daughter Woolen cloth."

The expression on Mu Dingxiang's face was stagnant when he heard the words, but he soon regained his composure. He was quite speechless about Liu Niannian's big heart, so he could only vaguely say: "Who is someone else's wife? It's not like this, Help greet guests or something."

When Liu Niannian heard it, he grasped another point: "Ding Xiang, you and Chu Tuhu are really? That kind of relationship, I? I thought—"

"What do you think?" Mu Dingxiang said calmly.

"Think it's the butcher Chu's plan to save you? It's a stopgap measure."

If it was before, Mu Dingxiang might have the same opinion as her, but since the two became closer, she no longer thinks so. Any savior will come up to kiss her every now and then, and do things like that.

She blushed slightly, but she still said calmly: "Although the world has prejudices, I? and she are real?."

Liu Niannian hurriedly said: "I? I'm not in that secular world. Neither father nor mother thinks there's anything wrong with it. I? I also think it's beautiful."

After speaking, he pursed his lips in embarrassment and smiled.

Mu Dingxiang changed the subject and said: "What about you, you passed your seventeenth birthday earlier, and you will be eighteen in the future. If you don't look for it again, you will really become an old girl."

"Hmph, what's the matter? Didn't Chu Yu find you when he was 26?" After finishing speaking, he curled his lips, "But a month or so ago, father and mother seemed to be stimulated by something suddenly and began to help me frequently. ?Looking for someone, as if it is true? Afraid of me? Can't get married. "

Hearing what she said, Mu Dingxiang understood the meaning behind Liu Heng and his wife's actions.

After all, Liu Niannian and his own background, even if there will be no problems in a short period of time, who can guarantee that there will be no problems for a lifetime. In order to help Liu Niannian find a good family before the Mu family takes action, the husband and wife have exhausted thought.

When Liu Niannian is married, even if the background of the two is exposed, as long as her husband's family is not too weak, she will not be led by the nose by the Mu family.

Thinking of this, Mu Dingxiang patted her arm and said: "It's time to look for it. If you have a sweetheart, hurry up and tell your aunt at this time, they don't need to spend so much effort."

Upon hearing this, Liu Niannian gave her an angry look and said, "Me? Where did my sweetheart come from, talking nonsense."

The two chatted very enthusiastically, but they still couldn't help being ignored? Mu Yuzhu, this can't be blamed on Mu Dingxiang, after all, her eldest sister is too timid, and she hasn't heard a word from walking around the yard together for a long time If it wasn't for holding her arm, Mu Dingxiang would have almost forgotten that there is such a person by her side.

So he was too busy looking for something to say to bring Mu Yuzhu into the conversation. After asking, he found out that her mother-in-law would come later, but it didn't prevent Mrs. Liu from urging her to come quickly and talk to Mu Dingxiang.

Fortunately, Mu Dingxiang did not alienate the relationship between the two because of the Mu family. Now the sisters are talking and laughing, but they are harmonious.

Ji Yunniang took the time to glance over here, and the expression on her face couldn't help but become cheerful.
