Chen Xiaobei immediately came back to his senses and nodded to Axiang, "Uncle Axiang, please go back. Leave Hongyu to me. Don't worry, I will treat her well."
Hearing what Chen Xiaobei said, Cui Hongyu's eyes flashed with a look of gratitude, and Axiang even burst into laughter.
"Okay, then I'll go back. Master said that if anything happens, just go over and say something."
A Xiang drove the carriage away, but the children gathered around the door refused to leave, clamoring for pancakes.
The so-called pancakes are similar to the biscuits of later generations. They are also made from flour mixed with some sugar.
In this era, if you marry a wife and you can’t get any sweets, you can share some cakes with the relatives and friends who come over.
But Chen Xiaobei’s home is like this, how can he prepare this thing?
At this time, Cui Hongyu's face turned slightly red, turned around and entered the room, and quickly took out a baggage.
She reached into her bag, grabbed a handful, took out a dozen cakes and stuffed them into Chen Xiaobei's hand.
Chen Xiaobei understood that Cui Hongyu had asked him to distribute it to the children.
He came forward and divided each child into two pieces. After each child was divided, Chen Xiaobei extended his hand to touch the child's head affectionately.
When the pancakes in Chen Xiaowei's hand are finished dividing, Cui Hongyu will grab another handful and stuff it into Chen Xiaobei's hand.
Not far away, the liars Chen Anbang and Xiumei looked at the tacit understanding of Chen Xiaobei and Cui Hongyu. They looked at each other and smiled.
Xiumei asked in a low voice, "Chief, this is considered a marriage, right? Is what the Taoist said really so effective?"
The head of the village, Chen Anbang, looked around and said, "Keep your voice down. Don't tell anyone about this. The Taoist leader said that there will be a bloody disaster within three days."
"As long as Chen Xiaobei blocks this disaster for Hong Yu, he will have enough food and clothing from now on, and he will be safe for the rest of his life."
Xiumei sighed, "There are still three days left. I'm afraid that Chen Xiaobei is so impatient. If he loses Hong Yu's virginity, wouldn't our work be in vain?"
Chen Anbang chuckled, "Don't worry, the Cui family said that the reason why Hong Yu came here today was because she was wearing red. No matter how anxious Chen Xiaobei was, there was nothing she could do these days.
"
After Xiumei smiled, she whispered, "Congratulations in advance, I'll go back to cook."
Chen Anbang waved his hand and turned around and left.
When he walked to a deserted place, Chen Anbang couldn't help but muttered, "Chen Xiaobei, Chen Xiaobei, don't blame me for being cruel. Anyway, you are a child without a father and a mother. After using you to avert Cui Hongyu's evil fate, I
Only then can her grandson grow old with her. After you die, I will definitely get you a good coffin."
At this time, Chen Xiaobei's home slowly became quiet.
Because on weekdays, Chen Xiaobei did not have any greetings or greetings with the villagers. There was no human contact at all, so when he got married, except for the village chief who hired a few people to help, he only had those ignorant children.
Come and ask for some cakes to eat.
Chen Xiaobei sat under the big locust tree and looked at each other silently with Cui Hongyu. He and she really couldn't find any topic to talk about, so they could communicate with this person who became his wife without ever meeting her.
Fortunately, there was Chen Qiaoer. From the window, I saw the two of them sitting here in silence. She walked out quietly, holding a pancake in each hand. She gave one to Chen Xiaobei and the other to Cui Hongyu, "Brother and sister-in-law, you guys eat pancakes."
.”
Chen Qiaoer's appearance resolved the awkward atmosphere and reminded Cui Hongyu. She stood up and rubbed her hands, "Husband, it's almost noon. You and Qiaoer rest while I go cook."
Chen Xiaobei raised his head and looked at the sky. It was almost noon.
He stood up in a hurry and said, "It's better if I do it. You just walked in and you can't find the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar."
Cui Hongyu did not forcefully turn around and enter the house.
Soon he took out a cloth bag from his dowry. The cloth bag was actually filled with flour.
I'm going to make a big move. It seems that Lao Cui's family has made preparations for fear that their daughter will go hungry.
While Chen Xiaobei was feeling emotional, he could only wash the vegetables to express his self-esteem.
Seeing that one of them was washing cucumbers and the other was preparing noodle soup, Chen Qiaoer hurriedly went to light the fire.
I originally had a half-drawn iron pot, but Chen Xiaobei bought a new one, so I can turn on two stoves at the same time today.
Boil a pot of noodle soup in the newly purchased iron pot, put some lard in the iron pot, and fry a cucumber.
Seeing Chen Xiaobei scoop out a spoonful of lard, Cui Hongyu's face was full of surprise.
Of course she knew lard, and she also knew that it was not cheap. She really didn't expect that Chen Xiaobei's family could have such a thing. Doesn't it mean that his family was impoverished?
But then I thought about it, after all, he was the one who wanted to get married. Maybe everyone in the village gave him something as a gift.
After frying the cucumbers for a few times, Chen Xiaobei pulled out two wild eggs from the niche on the wall like a magic trick.
There were actually eggs, Cui Hongyu was even more surprised, while Qiao'er scrunched her nose desperately, trying to inhale more of the aroma.
Chen Xiaobei skillfully prepared this fried cucumber dish.
With lard, eggs and a little salt, it's really delicious in color, flavor and flavor.
The more this happened, the more uneasy Cui Hongyu felt. It would be fine if these were gifts from neighbors, but if Chen Xiaobei bought them with debt, he would have to pay them back.
While eating, Cui Hongyu asked tentatively, "Husband, is there any work in the fields now? Can I go do it?"
Chen Xiaobei shook his head, "There's not much work in the fields. You and Qiao'er can just be at home in the afternoon."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qiaoer became happy and clapped her little hands and cheered, "Okay, okay, my sister-in-law and I are at home waiting for my brother to go into the mountains."
Chen Xiaobei glared at Chen Qiaoer, "Who told you that I was going into the mountains? Don't talk nonsense."
Chen Qiaoer immediately shut up obediently, but her eyes were full of doubts and grievances. Did she say something wrong? Last night, her brother told her personally that she wanted to go into the mountain.
"Husband, I am not the kind of pampered person at home. If you need anything, just ask me."
It can be seen that Cui Hongyu's posture is very low. Thinking about it, he has defeated three men to death. How can his posture not be low?
Chen Xiaobei smiled slightly, "There's really nothing I can do right. If you really want to do it, you and Qiao'er can water the vegetables I just planted behind you this afternoon."
Being able to do some work made Cui Hongyu feel much more at ease.
After lunch, Chen Xiaobei did not stay at home longer, but directly grabbed two bags and went into Qingniu Mountain.
The pheasants have been frightened away and cannot return to the same place. I took some pheasant eggs last night, but at least dozens or hundreds of them must remain in the same place, so I must take as many pheasant eggs as possible with me today.
Come back, otherwise if you leave it there, it will either be eaten by other beasts, or it will become ruined.
Just after Chen Xiaobei left, some uninvited guests came to his home. Chen Ermao came again with the monkeys.
