Chapter 12: Who is the fox?

I slept all afternoon and had a good night's sleep. After all, Xue Jian regained his vitality.

Early morning, I heard that a sheep was brought back yesterday, and I was happily discussing with Er Niang to continue eating shabu-shabu. Xiaoyue, the daughter-in-law of the Wang family, came early to send a basin of tofu.

It turns out that the mill in this village is public, and few people usually use it. At the end of the twelfth lunar month, because every family has to grind noodles and tofu, they are busy grinding. The daughters-in-law of each family can arrange the order.

Today, it was Zhao's turn to take the lead. She got up early and picked up all the work at home. She slipped away to clean up the grinding road before dawn. After grinding the soy milk, she went home to separate the bean dregs and made tofu, and was ordered by her mother-in-law to send a large pot to the Zhou family.

Zhao and her mother-in-law had the same intention. They used to help the Zhou family within their ability, but for the face of Zhou's mother, now they find that the Zhou family are not so arrogant, and they are not as dilapidated as rumored in the village.

On the contrary, in addition to Zhou's family, the second mother in charge can speak well, and her words make people feel very comfortable; Si Niang laughs first when she meets people, and has a gentle temper; not to mention the girl named Xue Jian, who makes delicious food, and looks like a fairy. She is also very calm to people, not high or low, so that you don't feel self-righte. She is humble. Anyway, Xiaoyue likes her very much.

Er Niang hurriedly asked Zhou's mother to cut down two leg of sheep. Seeing Xiaoyue looking at the ice lamps that could be seen everywhere on the wall of the Zhou family, she said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, don't look. I'll make two new ones for you later and let you take them away."

Xiaoyue was really embarrassed: "Look at me, I exchanged tofu for two leg of sheep, and then asked for your family's ice lamps. I don't need to scold my mother-in-law. I feel that I'm too much first."

Xue Jian also smiled: "Aunuch Wang will not blame you. She will only praise you. Look at my daughter-in-law, who is still a businessman. This business really counts!"

Xiaoyue knew that she was joking, so she simply smiled and straightened up and twisted her: "Xiaoyue, I'm still trying to be cheap today. What's the matter? But you girl said it with a sharp mouth. Let me see if I don't deal with you!"

Hearing that she was going to make an ice lamp, Sanni had already run out of the door and said in a pile of voices, "You can twist it and scold it. I'm going to die. I'll do the rough job of making a lamp."

Wu Niang Qi Niang and Qian'er listened to the letter and scrambled to do it.

So Xuejian said, "Look, you don't have to thank me for these two ice lamps. Someone will thank you for giving me a chance."

Xiaoyue waited for them to make ice lanterns. While sighing that the young master and lady from this big place were really dexterous, she talked about the jokes of the villagers last night.

It is said that when someone saw every family send the stove god with their own eyes, a fairy floated down from the moon and floated straight into the Zhou family courtyard. In an instant, the walls of the Zhou family courtyard were full of ice lamps, like a fairy mansion.

If it is not a fairy, who has ever seen that ice can be set on fire and the ice does not melt?

Xue laughed until her stomach ached after hearing this, and Zhou's mother also wiped her tears and said, "No nonsense! The ice lamp was seen by the snow girl stepping on the ladder and freezing to the wall one by one. There are no fairies.

Xiaoyue realized that what the villagers saw was a frozen ice lamp on the wall, and then spread it like this.

No wonder the villagers misunderstood. Xiaoyue turned her head and looked at Xuejian. She had never seen such a beauty. Before, she had always thought that several young ladies of the Zhou family had come out of the painting. Who knew that Xuejian was beautiful that could not be drawn in the painting.

On the ice lamp sent to Xiaoyue, there are still small window flowers cut by Sanni. I can't but admire the ingenuity of these girls. According to the gourd given by Xuejian, they made a variety of ladles!

Later, when I heard that this idea was made by Sanlang, Xue couldn't help laughing. In fact, Sanlang was only 14 years old. In his previous life, he was still a junior high school student. Now he has become the husband of several younger brothers and sisters, which shows that he is really knowledgeable.

When Xiaoyue left, Sanni perforated both sides of the ice lamp and tied cotton rope for Zhao to carry. Zhao smiled shyly and said, "I'm not sending tofu, but I'm like I'm here to ask for something."

Looking at the appearance of her left hand lamp and right hand sheep's leg, Xue Jian joked, "Sister-in-law is here to send blessings. It's too late for us to welcome her."

Think about it, corruption and blessing are indeed very auspicious, and Xiaoyue left with a smile.

The Zhou family is now unprecedentedly busy, and the New Year is approaching. The afternoon study has stopped. Erniang Si Niang Du Ma Sanni is busy making new clothes and shoes for the whole family. Zhou Jinsheng and Zhang Dashan Wang take leopards to hunt and cut firewood almost every day.

There are many houses in the cold, and there are many people in the family, and this firewood is not ambiguous at all. Zhou Bo Duhai and Zhou Mancang, the second tiger, go fishing twice a day, and Sanlang and Liulang can also help more or less. In this way, Du Hai can go to Anning County every three days. It really uses the ice bed to the extreme. Fortunately, there is no need to refuel, otherwise This oil money can't afford to hurt!

Xuejian and Zhou's mother kept frying rice cakes, fried meat, fork and fried meatballs, which is only one kind of tofu. Xuejian turned into frozen tofu and dried tofu, and prepared various cooked meat dishes and pickle. The courtyard is basically fragrant with meat every day. Wu Niang Qianer took a group of children to take good care of bean sprouts and garlic sprouts, which can be completed independently. The task of watering and picking.

Every day after dinner, it is a happy time for everyone. People who have worked hard all day will gather in the lobby room of Zhou Bo's courtyard after having a delicious and meaty dinner. Sometimes, they will tell each other some jokes accidentally made by the people around them when working during the day. For example, Sanlang almost fell into a narrow ice hole, such as Erhu and Yuxing's boss's daughter eyebrows. For example, Xuejian helped sew the clothes and sewed the hem and the front placket together.

Then it's time for Xuejian to tell a story. Xuejian originally planned to tell the story of Journey to the West, but the Journey to the West is too long and she can't remember it, so she simply added her imagination and other ghost stories. Think about it. Anyway, it's a pleasure. When Xuejian was telling a story, at first, there were only a few little friends listening, and later it was Er Niang. Later, after Sanni and others cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks, they first urged them. In the end, everyone, including Zhou family, Dalang Sanlang, had to listen to it every day.

What Xuejian doesn't know is that when he returns to the room every night, Sanlang has to write down the story she said. Of course, he will delete some obvious loopholes she said and polish them. At first, when Sanlang did this, it was just because Shi Niang was too young after all. She still didn't quite understand some stories. Write them down and slowly tell them to her. When he thought about this, Sanlang found that he could really adapt to the current life.

Every night before going to bed, Zhou Bo used the newly developed Zhou's form to settle accounts. As expected, he was really fast and accurate. He slowly taught Er Niang Sanlang and the addition, subtraction, multiplication and division learned from Xuejian to Er Niang Sanlang and others. Everyone became more convinced of his brother's intelligence!

Looking at the surplus silver in the family, although there is not much, Er Niang and Si Niang are still slightly relieved. The days of lack of food and clothing in the past few months are really scary. Thinking about it, when I first returned to my old house, I was either complaining or being extravagant, and I didn't expect that there would be days when I couldn't eat.
