Seventy Buddha Cannon Fodder

Snapped!

Bai Xiaohua closed the door with her backhand. She was holding back her anger today, but she still couldn't vent it. When she entered the door, she knocked sideways: "Brother Dazhu, did you really sleepwalk last night? How did you walk so far?"

Liu Dazhu said impatiently: "I sleepwalk and I don't know why."

Bai Xiaohua's face turned pale, and she already believed in her heart that Liu Dazhu was going to have a private meeting with Du Pingping, so she gritted her teeth.

Widow Liu was afraid that they would quarrel, so she quickly interjected, "Xiao Hua, Mom knows you're angry about this today, but I really don't blame Da Zhu, he has had this problem since he was a child."

How could Bai Xiaohua believe it? She looked at Widow Liu with a half-hearted smile: "Mom, everyone is hungry after a rough morning, so you can cook first."

Widow Liu was taken aback by her words.

Seeing that she didn't know each other yet, Bai Xiaohua urged, "Mom, Brother Da Zhu must be hungry too."

"Oh, oh, okay, I'll cook." Widow Liu had no choice but to go to the kitchen.

Liu Aihua glanced at her new sister-in-law, but Bai Xiaohua didn't even look at her from the corner of her eyes.

Growing up in a strange atmosphere, Liu Aihua was very sensitive. She keenly felt that her sister-in-law was different from before marriage. The smiling woman who gave her a candy at that time seemed to have changed overnight.

Liu Aihua quickly followed Widow Liu.

Bai Xiaohua turned her head, stared at Liu Dazhu and asked, "Brother Dazhu, there are no outsiders here, tell me the truth, why did you go last night?"

She had a cold face and lost her usual gentleness.

The money was not returned, and there was such a commotion, Liu Dazhu was frightened all night, not to mention he was always the boss at home, seeing Bai Xiaohua's cold appearance, his temper suddenly became violent.

"Just ask and you'll know. I slept like a dead pig last night. If it weren't for you, how could I sleepwalk?"

The furious Liu Dazhu blushed, and Bai Xiaohua jumped from his ferocious face.

Bai Xiaohua didn't expect that Liu Dazhu, who was soft-spoken and soft-spoken before marriage, would get angry at her the next day after marriage.

For a moment, grievance and disappointment welled up in her heart, Bai Xiaohua's eyes turned red, and she ran into the house crying.

After all, he is still a newcomer, Liu Dazhu felt a little regretful when he had a fit, and when he went in and saw Bai Xiaohua crying, he felt a little distressed, and lowered his head and said, "Xiaohua, I'm sorry, I'm tired and hungry after making a fuss all night. Burned at you."

Bai Xiaohua hated him for not giving face, but thinking about it, she went down the ladder: "Brother Da Zhu, you were so fierce just now, you scared me."

Liu Dazhu hugged her quickly: "It's my fault, I will definitely not get angry with you in the future."

Only then was Bai Xiaohua satisfied, and said softly: "Then you have to remember this sentence, I am your wife, I ask because I am worried about you and miss you, you are good."

Liu Dazhu's heart was softened by what she said, and he said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, yes, what my wife said is right."

Only then did Bai Xiaohua burst out laughing: "Just remember that I'm the best for you, Brother Da Zhu, for you I even gave out all the dowry money."

She snuggled into Liu Dazhu's arms, and didn't see the fleeting distortion on Liu Dazhu's face.

Liu Dazhu is thoughtful and has a good face. Hearing this once or twice, he feels that his daughter-in-law likes him. After hearing it too much, he feels that Bai Xiaohua doesn't give him face.

The newlyweds, Liu Dazhu didn't get angry, just coaxed her: "I will remember this love."

Bai Xiaohua suddenly became happy, and wondered what it would be if Liu Dazhu had an affair with Du Pingping. Du Pingping had already left, and she would reappear after more than ten years, so she didn't have to worry at all.

The most important thing now is to coax Liu Dazhu well and become the real mistress of the Liu family.

With this thought in mind, Bai Xiaohua became more and more gentle and considerate, and the husband and wife really had a bit of tenderness as a newlywed.

All this has nothing to do with the old Gu family next door.

Gu Simei picked up her brother's clothes to hang and hung them up. Seeing the bright sun, it was sunny for several days in a row, so she mobilized Gu Sanmei to wash and dry it together.

When Gu Mingdong put on his clothes and came out, he saw that the bamboo racks in the yard were all covered with clothes, trousers, and bed sheets.

Gu Mingdong wondered if the two younger sisters had turned out all the clothes in the box.

All the cotton in the quilt was pulled out and spread out on a bamboo plaque to dry. Gu Simei said that it would be warmer when it was sewn.

Gu Mingdong saw that the two younger sisters were very busy, and even the twins were running errands to help.

"Brother, why did you come out? Don't catch a cold." Because the cotton coat had been removed and washed, Gu Mingdong was only wearing unlined clothes, and he looked cold.

Gu Mingdong smiled and said, "Just take advantage of the sunny day to repair the roof and the house to avoid air leakage."

Earth houses are prone to air leakage, and the roof is still made of straw. If you are not careful, water will leak.

The three seasons of spring, summer and autumn were fine before, but in winter, it was a bit unbearable. Gu Mingdong himself didn't feel well, and now he watched his sisters drying the quilts before remembering.

Gu Mingdong called his second younger brother Gu, and went up to the roof with the help of a ladder.

After a while, Second Brother Gu yelled from below: "Brother, you can't do this, the water will definitely leak again when it rains, or I'll do it."

Gu Mingdong has been busy for a long time, and the hole under his hands is getting bigger and bigger. Repairing the roof is a technical job. Obviously, neither the original owner nor he has mastered this technology.

On the contrary, Gu Erdi was good at repairing, he climbed up to the roof, nimbly like a monkey, and quickly repaired most of it.

"Second brother, you are good at building houses."

The second brother Gu immediately said proudly: "Of course, I learned it from the third uncle."

Seeing that he was doing well, Gu Mingdong simply asked Gu Sanmei to come over to hold the ladder, and he and the mud started to repair the air leaks in the house.

While repairing the wall, Gu Mingdong thought in his heart when he could build a house, preferably a large tile house with blue bricks, and build a few more rooms to complete it in one step.

It's just that the big tile-roofed house attracts people's attention, and it's not a good thing to be too prominent now.

After painting over and over again, the earthen house also looked much warmer. The foundation of the old Gu's house was still very good, and it was enough to shelter from the wind and rain, so Gu Mingdong let go of this idea first.

By the time the brothers cleaned up the exceptions of the old Gu's family, the sisters' drying out was not over yet.

Gu Mingdong took a look and said, "I'll go out for a while."

"Brother, it's so cold if you don't work, you wear my padded jacket." Second brother Gu took off his clothes and wanted to give them to him.

Gu Mingdong didn't object, so he took it and put it on, but it was so tight that he couldn't even button it.

The second younger brother Gu who stayed at home lost his cotton coat and was shivering from the cold. He urged: "The third brother, Xiaobei, quickly check if any clothes are dry, first find me one to put on."

Gu Sanmei rolled her eyes: "You are the only one who pleases Big Brother."

But he still took the clothes that were almost dry and threw them to Gu Erdi.

Second Brother Gu quickly put it on, and said: "Whoever told you to wash clothes and dry quilts today, you can't come in another day."

"Bah, did you have a problem washing your quilt?" Gu Sanmei said disgustedly, "Your quilt is almost clumping, and the water is black after rubbing it several times. Do you think I am patient to wash it for you?" , you can wash it yourself later.”

"Where is that exaggeration, my quilt has just been washed in summer, and you always like to nag"

Second Brother Gu snorted and said, "If you don't like washing, Xiao Bei will wash it for me, Xiao Bei, right?"

Gu Sanmei hurriedly said: "Xiaobei, don't help him wash in the future, he is used to it."

Gu Mingbei is also used to their quarrels, and he smiled and said nothing, but comforted him: "Second brother, don't worry, the sun is bright today, and he will definitely be able to do it before going to bed."

"Xiaobei is still caring, unlike the third brother who is always fierce." Gu Erdi said, rushing to help, "I'll help you."

But how can he do this?

Gu Simei had no choice but to say euphemistically, "Second brother, why don't you go and pat the cotton, so that it will be warmer after drying."

Gu Erdi had no choice but to go over to pull cotton, and Gu Sanmei immediately said, "See, even Xiao Bei despises you."

The three of them were arguing, but it seemed that the old Gu's family was bustling.

At this moment, a voice shouted outside: "Is anyone home?"

Gu Erdi was trying to pat the cotton, and he was surprised when he heard the voice: "Is this man blind? Aren't we all in the yard?"

Gu Sanmei stood up and saw that there was Bai Xiaohua outside the door.

She froze for a moment before saying, "I'm at home."

In my heart, I underestimated why she came here.

Bai Xiaohua showed a smile: "Hello, I am the daughter-in-law of Liu Dazhu next door. My name is Bai Xiaohua. You can call me Sister Bai."

Returning to Sister Bai, Gu Sanmei looked at her strangely: "What's the matter with you?"

Seeing that she didn't respond, Bai Xiaohua didn't shrink back, but continued to say: "You are Shumei's cousin, right? Your cousin Shumei and I are good friends, and we have played together since childhood."

Gu Sanmei looked at her even more strangely: "So what's the matter with you? We're busy here, so we don't have time to chat with you."

Being rejected again and again, Bai Xiaohua's face was a bit unsightly, she glanced inside, and asked again: "Is your elder brother at home?"

"My elder brother doesn't know you, why are you looking for him?" Gu Sanmei asked back.

It seems that she is not there, Bai Xiaohua is slightly relieved, she doesn't know why she always feels scared when facing Gu Mingdong.

At this time, Second Brother Gu popped up: "Why are you so strange, you don't say anything when you come to the door."

The smile on Bai Xiaohua's face couldn't hold back: "It's like this. I didn't see you guys coming to drink wedding wine yesterday. Today I came here to give you some wedding candy."

Gu Sanmei took the candy and said with a smile, "If you said no, you can just give it to me."

"Thank you. Actually, there is no need to make a special trip. The villagers don't care about this."

"Hey..." Bai Xiaohua couldn't stop her.

Gu Sanmei asked doubtfully, "Is there anything else?"

Bai Xiaohua sighed: "Xiaoxi, we will be neighbors from now on and we have to get along well. If you encounter any difficulties, just come to me. Your cousin and I are good friends, and I also regard you as my sister in my heart."

"I'm the youngest in my family. I only have an older brother and no younger sister. Now I'm so happy to see you. I feel like I finally have a younger sister."

What a strange habit, looking for a younger sister from someone else's house.

Gu Sanmei felt goosebumps all over her body, and said in her mouth, "Okay, I understand."

Bai Xiaohua wanted to say something more, but Gu Sanmei was already busy, so she had no choice but to turn back.

As soon as she left, Gu Sanmei spread her hands and said, "There are six people in my family, and I sent four candies."

If there were no previous incidents, or at least the next door was married and invited them, it would be normal to come here at this time, but it is really weird for the new wife to come again after Widow Liu came here.

After finishing speaking, she also told her younger sister: "Xiaobei, stay away from her in the future, this little white flower is evil, and the way she speaks with her posturing is annoying."

When Bai Xiaohua returned to Liu's house, Widow Liu frowned and asked, "Xiaohua, what are you doing there?"

Bai Xiaohua was impatient in her heart and looked down on Widow Liu, but she still explained: "Their cousin Sun Shumei is my good friend, I went to say hello, and we can get along well in the future."

When Widow Liu heard this, she was dissatisfied and said, "Didn't I tell you that their family is not a good person, and they are very ungrateful, and they are not allowed to go again in the future."

Bai Xiaohua curled her lips, not paying attention to her words.

She wanted to walk around next door, not because she really wanted to find the two younger sisters, but because she was interested in the old Gu's family, which was rarely mentioned in the book and Sun Shumei had no contact with at all. Bai Xiaohua felt that the old Gu's family might be hiding some unknown secrets.

On the other end, Gu Mingdong came home, still holding a bamboo basket in his hand.

"Come and see what it is."

The chirping sound came from the bamboo basket, and Gu Simei stood up abruptly: "It's a chicken."

She ran over to take a look, and shivered and hid in the bamboo basket. She was beige and fluffy all over, but it was not a chicken.

Gu Mingdong tilted the bamboo basket, and the six chicks slowly came out, their bright black eyes looking very energetic.

Gu Simei stretched out her hand to pick up one, and shouted in surprise: "Brother, where did you get the chicken?"

"Didn't you always want to raise chickens? A few days ago, I heard that there were surplus chicks in the village, so I ordered a few."

You can't raise too many chickens these days. According to the head of the family, there is one chicken per person, and there can be no more. Therefore, if there are too many hens in the nest, they are all replaced.

Lao Gu's family used to raise chickens, but when Li Lijuan was sick, they sold them to see a doctor.

Gu Mingdong wanted to raise chickens, but he couldn't find bird eggs in the recent winter, and the twins' eggs stopped.

The two sisters looked left and right around the six chicks, and they seemed to see that they laid eggs every day when they grew up, and there was no shortage of eggs in the house.

Gu Sanmei has already made arrangements: "This chick needs to be raised well. Second brother, clean up the old chicken coop so that there is no water leakage. From now on, my fourth sister and I will take turns feeding the chickens. Ah Xing and Ah Chen are fine and can go Digging for worms, chickens will only lay eggs after eating worms.”

The twins immediately nodded like chickens pecking rice: "We will catch a lot of worms for the chickens to eat, and let them lay a lot of eggs."

The original chicken coop happened to be in use, and Gu Mingdong walked in the door, just in time to see the wedding candy on the table: "Where did this candy come from?"

Gu Sanmei pursed her lips: "Bai Xiaohua next door sent it."

Gu Mingdong raised his eyebrows slightly: "What else did she say?"

"He said a lot of strange things, and asked me to call her sister, and said that she and her cousin are good sisters, and that they will be good neighbors in the future."

Gu Mingdong didn't know what Bai Xiaohua's plans were up to. Anyway, nothing good happened. He said flatly, "Don't talk to her, just be an ordinary neighbor."

Who knew that Gu Mingdong didn't plan to talk to her, but Bai Xiaohua seemed to be in a good mood, appearing at the old Gu's house from time to time.

She didn't dare to provoke Gu Mingdong and Gu Mingnan, but she kept talking to the two girls, but every time she had a legitimate reason, she acted like a good big sister, which disturbed the two little girls a lot.

Even the good-tempered Fourth Sister Gu complained: "The new daughter-in-law next door doesn't know what to think, she keeps coming and rushing through the door, and stays for a long time, which makes me have no time to work."

Gu Mingdong saw it in his eyes and came up with an idea.

On the day of Laba, Gu Mingdong was about to go out to practice his method, but an unexpected visitor came to his house before he went out. .
