Chapter 240
In the middle of the night, Zhuangzi was quiet, and only the sound of insects disturbed people's dreams.
Fuduoduo stood quietly in the courtyard, looking at the dark and cloudy sky in a daze.
Bi Tao came over with her cloak and whispered, "Auntie, you go to the house to rest. There will be no problem if there are dogs left to watch." Today, my aunt said that something must happen to Zhuangzi tonight, and arranged people to protect Zhuangzi's safety. It's just that it's so late, but it's still quiet, and many people have complained secretly in private.
Fu Duoduo curled the corners of his mouth and asked, "Do you also think I made a mistake in judgment?"
Bi Tao opened her speech and finally didn't say anything.
If you don't speak, it is equivalent to default.
Fu Duoduo turned around and smiled at Bi Tao and said, "Actually, just now, I was also wondering if I was wrong, but looking up at the dark night and cool wind, I'm sure that tonight is not destined to be a peaceful night." Seeing that Bitao was puzzled, she explained, "Isn't it a dark and windy night? The scene at this moment is just right.
In the middle of the night, listening to such penetrating words, Bi Tao still had the courage to fight again and was also scared.
Looking up and seeing Fu Duoduo's smiling face, Bi Tao said anxiously, "Auntie, you are really good at joking. What killing people or not killing people? It scared the maidservant."
"It's not funny if it's not scary." Fu Duoduo ordered, "Try the dog left to let some people go to bed, and the other part will continue to patrol the night. On this night, the big guys are tired and hungry. You can go to the kitchen again and let them burn some snacks.
Bi Tao saluted and left.
Fuduoduo stood in the yard for a while, took a deep breath, and turned back to the house.
It didn't take long for Zhuangzi, who could hear a quiet needle to fall to the ground, and suddenly cut it up.
Many of the people in the village came from the surrounding villages. Although there were some complaints in the middle of the night, they were comforted by the midnight snack, and their hearts were happy. Three or five groups rushed to the kitchen one after another, making the cook busy.
Chunfu hasn't seen such a lively scene for a long time, and Ben's sleepy state suddenly became energetic.
Hongmei wanted to say a few words to her, but she thought about it.
Big guys are rarely happy, so why should she disaps?
Fuduoduo looked at Hongmei's delicate face and asked, "Hongmei, you are not young!"
Hongmei was stunned and didn't understand the meaning of Fuduoduo's words.
Fuduoduo explained, "Mother Chen came to tell me today that she wanted to tell you a marriage."
"Mami-to-law?" In an instant, Hongmei's face turned white, and the tray in her hand almost hit the ground. She trembled her hands and asked with a trembling voice, "Auntie, have you agreed?" She looked cautious and stared at Fuduo, afraid that she had agreed.
Fuduoduo frowned and said, "This is a major event in your life. How can I agree easily? It's just that you are not young. It's time to kiss. After a pause, he asked, "Do you like it?"
Hongmei shook her head repeatedly and said, "No, no, I don't!"
"Look at your nervousness, but there is, what's the problem? Women's good years have only been in these years, and they will be gone after these years. Since Hongmei recognized Chen's mother as her goddaughter, she has been careful. Without the previous cheerfulness and pleasure, Fu Duoduo couldn't help repeating the old saying and said, "Hongmei, let me tell you the truth. If Chen's mother is not good to you, she will embarrass you, don't hide it. If you have anything to say. Anyway, you are my person and must not let you be wronged. If necessary, it is not impossible to help you relieve this relationship with Chen's mother-in-law.
Hongmei knows that Fu Duoduo is telling the truth.
But this is the truth. She doesn't want Fuduo to worry about herself.
She whitewashed the peace and comforted Fu Duoduo and said, "Grandma, you worry too much. I'm not that soft persimmon. If he wants to pinch me, it depends on whether she is strong enough." Not wanting Fu Duoduo to struggle with this matter again, she changed the topic and asked, "What's wrong with the marriage mentioned by Mother Chen?"
Looking at Hongmei's unwillingness to talk more, Fu Duoduo sighed secretly and said faintly, "The object she said is the dog left."
Dog leftovers? How could it be him?
She knew that the dog could be left now, thanks to Chen's mother's recommendation.
If she hadn't let the dog run errands for her aunt, how could there be anything left now?
It's just that there are some things that are good and bad.
Because of that appearance, the young master and aunt knew the character, but Chen's mother's son lost the opportunity to show it and gave it to others for nothing. Chen's mother was very unwilling. She once asked her to mention her three sons in front of her aunt or when the young master came.
What qualifications does she have to intervene in the master's affairs?
Chen's mother really thinks highly of her!
With a little anger in her heart, Hongmei said in a sarcastic tone, "She is really careful."
Looking at Hongmei's slightly stunned face, Fuduo knew the anger in Hongmei's heart and comforted him and said, "Whether you have a heart or not, this is related to the rest of your life. Leaving aside from Chen's mother, this dog is still good."
There is nothing to deny the dog's character.
But when Chen's mother came to mention this matter, there were more tricks in it.
First of all, Chen's mother has the kindness to support the dog, and now she is helping to choose a daughter-in-law for him. This kind of kindness is really beautiful, and she is Chen's mother's goddaughter. How will she live in the future? Chen's mother said that she had to do it, otherwise she would be unfilial and ungrateful!
Without thinking much, Hongmei directly refused, "Auntie, I don't have this idea now. Let's talk about it in a few years!"
Since Bitao has said so, Fuduoduo didn't say much, so he had to say, "If you have any ideas in the future, just tell me. I'm not that pedantic master and won't control your marriage."
Chunfu listened and blushed and said, "Auntie, will it be the same for me in the future?"
Fuduoduo smiled and said, "Of course, they are treated equally."
At this time, Bitao came back with a red-painted food box in her hand. Looking at them talking and laughing, she couldn't help asking, "What are you talking about?" So happy?" With that, he put the food box on the kang table near the window and brought out a few small plates of hot dishes from it.
Chunfu is a little greedy person. Looking at the fragrant dish, he swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva.
Fuduoduo couldn't help laughing and asked Bi Taoduo to bring a few pairs of chopsticks and said to them, "Anyway, there are no outsiders, and don't follow any rules. I can't finish these dishes. Come up and use them with me!"
Chunfu didn't refuse much, and suddenly climbed up to the big kang and sat next to Fuduoduo.
Bitao and Hongmei looked at each other, one went to get the chopsticks and the other went to get the bowl. It didn't take long to set it up.
Once, when Fuduoduo and Bitao were still in the remote courtyard, they often ate at the same table. Now they don't feel constrained, but miss them very much. Chunfu has always been a careless girl. She doesn't have much heart. She sits with Fuduo and doesn't have much pressure. She still eats happily. On the contrary, Hongmei has been taught by rules since she was a child, especially when she was a maid in a large family a few years ago. The rules were more strict, and she was often beaten if she was not careful. Therefore, now she can't let go at all. She shrinks her body together and adds very few dishes. Fuduo said several times before she picked up a few chopsticks in front of her, looking like a little daughter-in-law who was severely controlled by her mother-in-law.
Fuduo looked at it and said a few words, so he stopped talking nonsense.
Some people's thoughts have been fixed, and it is difficult to change them back. Besides, she knows her situation very well. If she is not careful, she will be restrained by the rules of the world, let alone them. Therefore, in the small courtyard, no matter how difficult it is to share difficulties with Bi Tao, some rules are still there. Although they are very close to each other, she will not let them exist if they want to be like sisters.
If there is no rule, you still have to stand when it is time to stand.
Of course, a rigid look is not the way to deal with it.
After a meal, it is generally harmonious.
It's not very early, and it will be dawn in a few hours. Bitao suggested that Fuduoduo rest early.
Fuduo was very energetic. His eyes rolled around and said, "It's not a good time to sleep. If you fall asleep, you may not wake up early..." Before she finished speaking, Bi Tao spit three times in a row and objected, "Auntie, don't be so unlucky. If so, spit three times in a row.
Fu Duoduo defended and said, "There are not so many rules. I'm just an example."
Bitao stared, and Hongmei was also full of disapproval. Even Chunfu widened his eyes and said disapprovingly, "Auntie, please vomit!"
Based on the words of the three of them, Fuduoduo has no choice but to follow his words.
Now, Bitao and others are satisfied.
Hongmei felt that there was something in Fuduoduo's words just now, and couldn't help asking, "Auntie, what will happen tonight?" Is that child so good?
Fuduoduo didn't hide much and said, "I don't know if this child has the ability, but I just feel uneasy and always feel that something will happen. Do you think that this child is only about ten years old? How can he be so bold? According to Chen's mother, the child did not show timidity at all, but was very calm, especially when the young master met the bandits who were cut again. The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became. I'm afraid that the child came for me. To be precise, the people behind this child deliberately came to me.
