Chapter 120: True Hearts and the Snake


Uncle Chen was daydreaming, and the third girl, He Zijin, found some free time in the evening and talked to Mrs.

He about the matter.

The third girl said this, "Cousin Chen always comes over.

Although he is like this, it has nothing to do with me.

But I know what he is thinking.

I'm confused, my aunt and my aunt Chen have an unusual relationship, and I can't always see cousin Chen like this.

How about I think of a way to make cousin Chen understand that he and I are indeed not a good match.

He understands in his heart.

Aunt Chen can also rest assured when she studies."

Mrs.

He sighed, "This is easy to say.

If he could understand, he would have understood it long ago.

He has been beaten and scolded at home, and his grandmother's words of persuasion are numb, and it has no effect."

The third girl had her own plan and smiled, "Don't worry, aunt, I have my own way, but this method is a bit harsh."

Mrs.

He was a little worried and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"It's just that I'm afraid of offending Cousin Chen's family this way."

The third girl said, "He looks at me well, but he just thinks I look a little better.

How does he know my temperament as a person, and that he is a scholar?"

, I have a gentle nature.

If I had a bad temper, I guess I would be born as a god and he wouldn’t like me.”

Mrs.

He was a little hesitant, "This can be useful."

"Whether it works or not, you have to give it a try."

The third girl's method is actually quite effective.

She showed a good face to Chen Zhi, and Chen Zhi couldn't help himself.

He dressed up spotless and personable all day long and wanted to talk to the third girl.

One day, he saw Chen Zhi embroidering on the corridor in the courtyard.

Then he walked over and carefully spread a white rupa embroidered with lilac on the gallery chair.

He sat down immaculately, looking for an opportunity to talk to the third girl about the marriage proposal, and said, "Third sister, why are you not happy?

" The third girl looked at him sideways, smiled, and said, "I don't know anything about my cousin.

My cousin also knows nothing about me.

If we suddenly propose marriage now, if I agree, it won't be me anymore." ” Chen Zhi looked at the third girl's smile with fascination and said, "My family and my cousin's family are close relatives."

The third girl smiled, "Yes."

The two of them were talking when they saw Tweetie chasing a big rooster into the courtyard with a knife.

The chicken was smart and majestic.

Tweetie held up a kitchen knife in one hand, panting with a red face, and cursed, "Damn it.

The chicken, you didn't kill it, took a bite out of me."

This is a small family.

The He family is a courtyard with three entrances, which is actually not very big.

The kitchen is located in the west wing room where Mrs.

He enters.

You can make a fire and cook.

Smell it.

Chen Zhi couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard Cui Er's vulgar words.

He Zijin came out of Mrs.

He's house and said to Cui'er, "Keep the chicken blood and add some salt to make blood tofu.

Tomorrow morning, stir-fry it with leeks and it will be a good dish."

The rooster was majestic, but Cui'er was holding the knife, but she was strong on the outside and strong on the inside.

He couldn't catch it for half a day, so He Zijin asked, "Where is Aunt Zhou?"

"Mama Zhou went out to buy mutton.

My wife said that Master Liuzhi would like to add two delicacies to his meal at noon."

Cui'er was better at being young and agile.

He Zijin also helped her, and it took a lot of effort to cook the chicken.

After catching it, He Zijin repeatedly warned, "Keep the chicken blood."

Cui'er nodded with three or five chicken feathers on her head.

She finally caught the chicken.

She raised her knife and wanted to kill it but didn't dare to kill it.

She quietly asked, "Girl, is there anyone else in our family who knows how to kill a chicken?"

He Zijin shook his head and said, "We should wait until Grandma Zhou comes back before killing her.

She is a veteran."

"You have to get rid of your hair, otherwise you won't be able to eat at noon."

Cui'er is honest and straightforward in her speech, and she said depressedly, "It's a pity that Xiao Fuzi is not here either.

The business of sour plum soup has been good these days, and he went out early in the morning. ” Chen Zhi waved his hands repeatedly, "It doesn't matter, Cui'er, don't make chicken.

I will eat whatever the family eats."

The third girl put the needle and thread in Chen Zhi's hand and said, "What's so difficult about this?

I'll worry you to death."

The third girl reached out and pinched the two wings of the rooster, took the knife in Tweet's hand with one hand, and told Tweet, "Bring a bowl to catch the chicken blood."

Tweetie hurriedly ran to get the bowl.

When the third girl saw the bowl arriving, she grabbed the feathers on the rooster's neck with one hand, pointed the hairless part of the rooster's neck at the celadon bowl held in Tweetie's hand, and stabbed the chicken's neck with a knife.

With a horizontal movement and a diagonal pull of the wrist, the chicken let out a long scream, and bright red chicken blood spurted into the bowl along the edge of the knife.

The rooster struggled desperately.

The third girl's hand was very steady and she didn't even move.

When the blood was almost gone, the rooster kicked its legs.

The third girl handed the rooster and the knife to Cui'er and said, "Take the chicken blood."

Let’s put it in a cool place.

While the weather is still cool, we can peel off the chicken feathers and prepare some good dishes when Grandma Zhou comes back.”

Cui'er answered the question and responded loudly, flattering the third girl, "My cousin can do it."

He Zijin saw that she had a lot of things in her hands, so he took half the bowl of chicken blood and said, "I'm going to make blood tofu.

Sister Cui just peeled off the chicken feathers."

He Zijin and Cui'er went to the kitchen.

Chen Zhi's heart was pounding, he shivered unconsciously, and his face turned a little pale.

The third girl said calmly, "Cousin, wait a minute, I'm going to wash my hands."

That night, Chen Zhi woke up from nightmares twice.

He really has never seen the killing of chickens.

If it were his father Chen Dalang, he would be familiar with it.

Chen Dalang is the eldest son.

When he was a child, his family was still in the entrepreneurial period.

Killing chickens was the Chinese New Year.

Not only was he not unfamiliar with this matter, he was also happy about it.

Very.

When Chen Zhi was born, Uncle Chen's business had already achieved some success, and there were all servants and maids in the house.

His mother also did needlework.

She lived a good life like a wealthy grandmother, and she had her own kitchen to do all the cooking.

Chen Zhi has been studying since he was a child, but he has never seen this before.

The cold and calm look of the third girl while killing the chicken was truly unforgettable for Chen Zhi.

Every time he thought about it, his heartbeat would speed up, his legs would become weak, and he would occasionally shudder.

After this chicken killing incident, Chen Zhi did not go to He's house to report it for several days.

On the other hand, the third girl, He Zijin, followed Old Lady He to the Chen house to talk to Aunt Chen.

Aunt Chen laughed and said, "What fun do you little girls have to listen to us old lady talking?

Big girl, take your sisters to your house." play."

Chen Da Niu agreed, knowing that her brother wanted to marry the third girl, but she was refused marriage, and her mother was furious to death.

At this moment, her grandmother asked her to entertain the third girl and He Zijin.

Chen Da Niu was really not angry at all, but the second, third and fourth girls were quite happy, especially Chen Erniu, who took He Zijin's hand and kissed her.

It’s so hot that I can’t stop talking.

The three girls were sitting in Chen Da Niu's room, enjoying the cakes peacefully.

Chen Da Niu really didn't like this vixen.

Since she didn't want her brother to get married, why did she come to her house to do it?

It was because she didn't want her brother to go.

This coquettish vixen Then I became lonely.

So, Chen Da Niuer said with a smile on her face, "I heard that many people told Third Sister about her husband's family.

I wonder if there is any famous family that caught Third Sister's eyes?"

The third girl smiled, "I'm not in a hurry, but the eldest sister is one year older than me.

It seems that she is going to marry into a famous family."

Now the third girl is not going to be polite to eldest sister Chen.

Chen Da Niu looked embarrassed.

She wanted to marry a famous family, but no one had the discernment to marry her.

The people she wanted to marry were all rich men.

Chen Da Niu boasts that she is full of poetry and calligraphy, and is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

How can she like those local people?

Therefore, at the age of sixteen, her husband's family has not yet been settled.

Of course, sixteen is not that big, but it is bigger than the third girl.

The third girl picked up a piece of apricot preserves and ate them slowly without even looking at Da Niu Chen.

Chen Da Niu's face turned green.

He Zijin was talking to Chen Erniu and said, "Second sister-in-law is about to give birth.

How do you feel now?"

Chen Erniu smiled, "I can't tell.

It's just that the belly is very big.

I asked Dr.

Zhang from Ping'an Hall to take a look and he said it was twins.

My mother always wanted to lie down, but Dr.

Zhang said she should walk more before she could walk. , it will be easy to produce in the future.”

He Zijin asked, "Doctor Zhang's medical skills are the best in our county.

Can he be said to be a man or a woman?"

Chen Erniu pursed her lips and said happily, "They are two younger brothers.

My father came back from the state capital early in the morning, and his third uncle went over to look at the business.

The midwife has also been invited to live in the house."

He Zijin smiled, "Second uncle is a careful person."

The third girl came for this trip, and when she left, Chen Zhi came out to see her off.

He gave the third girl a conflicted look.

The third girl was wearing a bright red dress embroidered with hibiscus flowers.

Even though it was just an old dress left behind by her aunt Jing, it still covered her face.

She couldn't help but be dazzled by her beauty.

She didn't seem to notice Chen Zhi's scrutiny, and walked away holding He Lao Niang's arm.

After returning home, he said to He Zijin, "I thought he was very affectionate, but he just wanted to watch me kill a chicken."

He Zijin smiled, "If I had known this, I would have asked my sister to kill the chicken for him to see."

The third girl chuckled softly, "I didn't think of this method at first.

A Nian and A Lie are from a boy's family, and they are not as clean as him.

At first, I just thought it was because he was a scholar, but then I thought about it, he is particularly fond of cleanliness.

This It's just a matter of killing a chicken, and all the other methods haven't worked.

If he had known earlier, he would have stopped bothering me if I picked my nose in front of him. " By the time Chen Zhi got over the matter of the third girl killing the chicken, it was already July and the weather was not very hot anymore.

Chen Zhi was dressed in a clean lake blue robe, with a jade crown and brocade belt, looking clean and elegant.

He was looking at the three girls helping him.

Zijin looked at taking care of the flowers and plants, and his heart couldn't help but be filled with admiration again.

The third girl had an idea in her heart, and she still treated him the same way, smiling and saying, "My cousin came just in time, I will have something good to eat today."

Chen Zhi followed the third girl's words and asked, "What good thing?"

The third girl cut off the branches and leaves of a pot of green chrysanthemums, with a smile as bright as a flower, "I wonder what else is interesting now.

I was thinking of eating it in the evening.

Since my cousin is here, I will ask Aunt Zhou to fry it for dinner."

It tastes great, I’m sure my cousin hasn’t eaten it.”

Chen Zhi stayed for lunch.

When he saw the plate of black insects on the table, Chen Zhi felt a little uncomfortable.

Madam He asked with a smile, "Didn't you say we would eat it at night?"

The third girl smiled and said, "It's rare for my cousin to come here, so I just want to let my cousin have a try."

She also put one in Chen Zhi's bowl.

Chen Zhi's voice was not right, and he asked, "What, what is this?"

He Gongxiao said, "Cicada.

Last night, Xiao Fuzi took Anian Alie to look for them under the roots of the tree.

There are also some underground at home.

When they get out of the hole, they peel off their skin and they are cicadas.

Pick them with salt first, and then Just fry it in oil, no need to season it, it’s very fragrant.”

He Lie said, "Last night, Brother Xiaofu took me and Brother Anian all the way to the street in the south of the city.

He also brought a big bag, lit a fire under the tree, and then dropped it with a crackle.

We I found a pot of it.

Brother Azhi, try it.

It’s delicious.

We’ll eat it every year.”

He Zijin smiled, "Don't be afraid, cousin.

This thing drinks dew in the wind and only eats dew.

It can't be more clean.

The cicada is still made from Chinese medicinal materials."

"I hang my hat to drink the clear dew, and the sound of the tung trees flows out.

I raise my voice far away, not to borrow the autumn wind.

Yu Shinan's poem is about the cicada."

A Nian shook his head, and pointed at the middle section of the cicada with the tip of his chopsticks. , "Especially the middle section is the most fragrant."

He Zijin nodded, "My uncle also likes this."

Shen said with a smile, "There is nothing that Asu doesn't eat.

Throughout the summer, not to mention fishing and shrimping, we have to have a plate every day.

After the beginning of autumn, the grasshoppers get fatter.

I just think they are dirty and not as clean as cicadas."

Vegetarians also love to eat.”

He Zijin said, "I like it too.

The grasshoppers are also fried.

They are very fragrant."

Madam He smiled, "When I was a child, there was famine and war.

In the mountains, we ate anything.

Even digging out rats, peeling them and stewing them was a good dish."

Chen Zhi was about to vomit.

The third girl hurriedly said, "Cousin, don't be afraid.

It's not mice at home.

There are voles in the mountains.

Voles can eat them."

It was as if she had eaten it.

He Lao Niang frowned, wondering whether it was because she had bad eyesight and didn't see Chen Zhi's appearance, or it was intentional.

Anyway, the old lady said it more vividly, "A Zhi is so timid, don't talk about the mice in the field, are the ones at home just like this?"

Don’t tell others if you can’t eat it.

Your father ate it when he was a child.

At that time, your grandfather was having a hard time, wishing he could break a coin in half.

Your grandmother was also having a hard time at home, living with your father, your second uncle, and your third uncle's wife, and the family had no money.

Give it to your grandfather to rent a shop and run his business.

Don’t talk about this snow-white rice, it’s rough.

Being able to eat enough rice is also a blessing.

Your grandmother raised a brood of chickens, but unfortunately one of them was eaten by a mouse, which made your grandmother feel distressed.

She searched everywhere for the mouse that stole the chicken, but unfortunately she couldn't find it.

At that time, the mouse ate most of the chicken, otherwise your grandmother would have made a living. , simply peel off the rat skin and stew the leftover chicken in the pot.

Your grandmother loves her children so much that she can’t bear to eat them herself, let’s talk about today’s meal.

In good times, we must not forget the difficulties of the past.

People, learn to cherish blessings.”

After all, Chen Zhi was old, so he managed not to vomit, and he couldn't eat lunch.

Moreover, Chen Zhi didn't even touch a bite of the fried summer cicada made by He family.

Mrs.

He also sent someone to deliver a plate to the eldest sister, Aunt Chen.

Chen Zhi went home disgusted, but unexpectedly his grandmother asked him to taste the fried summer cicadas as a delicacy in the evening.

Due to the sequelae of the hunger strike a few days ago, Chen Zhi lay on the bed and drank the soup for two days.

It's much better.

Moreover, when he thought about his father, his second uncle and his third uncle eating rats when they were young, Chen Zhi also had the problem of not being able to eat when he saw his father and uncle.

Autumn came in a blink of an eye.

On the first day of August, Grandma Chen gave birth to twins.

The Chen family held a grand baptism ceremony.

Aunt Chen was so happy that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear, and the wrinkles on her face seemed to be reduced a lot.

Grandma Chen was most grateful to Mrs.

Shen.

She was still in confinement, holding Mrs.

Shen's hand and saying, "Sister is my benefactor."

Mrs.

Shen didn't take any credit, she smiled, "It's the second sister-in-law who has her own blessings."

Mrs.

Chen Er sighed, "I am finally worthy of Er Niu's father."

For a man who has been married for 14 or 15 years and has no son, but still protects her and has no intention of going outside.

Mrs.

Chen Er knows her husband's affection in her heart. of.

Mrs.

Shen smiled, "Good times are coming, second sister-in-law, why are you sighing?"

Grandma Chen smiled and said, "Yes."

Aunt Chen was also overjoyed and said to Mrs.

He, "I feel relieved now that I have my second child."

For Uncle Chen, this was a sign of a prosperous population, and the three-wine meal was served on a flowing table for three days.

In sharp contrast to the happy events of the Chen family, the He Xin family's eldest son He Tang's daughter-in-law Du passed away due to illness.

Therefore, the children in the eldest son's room had to observe maternal filial piety, and He Zhenzhen put the undecided marriage on hold.

Du's death was not mourned in a big way, but it was too cold and unseemly.

The reason why the He family did not mourn Du's death was because of the sake of a few children.

Now that Mrs.

Du is gone, she has left some dignity for herself and her children.

Looking at He Xin's face and knowing whether he knew the inside story, the clan members all went to go through the motions.

Mrs.

He had been psychologically prepared for Du's death.

Such an evil woman should not have been alive for a long time.

He Lao Niang didn't go there at all.

Firstly, she had a higher seniority, and secondly, she hated Du Shi to death, even Shen Shi, and He Lao Niang didn't ask her to go.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law discussed the produce in the field.

Since A-Nian had more than a hundred acres of land, Shen simply included the produce in her own field, as well as the produce at home.

Shen Shan's younger brother Shen Shui was the one who brought in the grain.

Those who are good at vegetables and fruits can simply ask Shen Shui to sell them in one place, and then the money can be divided among themselves.

He Lao Niang has no objection.

Although she is stingy, she has a clear temperament.

It should be hers, and no one else can make a cent away from it.

It should not be hers, and she doesn't want to be too jealous.

It can be seen from taking away the income of the third girl and buying the land for the third girl.

She is not easy to get along with, but she understands better than most people in her heart.

Just like after the autumn harvest, Mrs.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

He has to collect the produce from her family's fields by herself.

She is still the head of the family.

Shen's private house belongs to Shen, and I don't want it either.

Furthermore, Ah Nian's income from the fields was calculated clearly, and Shen was asked to take notes and explain it to Shen Su and Ah Nian in the future.

Of course, A Niande's one tael of silver a month was considered as money for his food and accommodation.

Not only food and accommodation, but also pen, ink and paper were included.

To be fair, He Lao Niang received a lot, but she didn't Not much.

He Lao Niang made it clear that Ah Nian had not yet gone to school to study.

If he went to school to study, he would naturally have to pay for the tuition himself.

The remaining money is used to set aside money for sowing in the fields and buying things for the next year, as well as money for giving things to tenants during the New Year and festivals.

The rest is used to buy land.

How many acres can be bought?

In these years, He Lao Niang has been This is what Shen did.

After calculating the income from the fields, Mrs.

He and Shen were very happy for several days, which showed that the harvest was not bad.

As the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, everyone went to Furong Temple to burn incense and go on an outing.

Moreover, they also accompanied A Nian to see his fields.

The land was also at the foot of Furong Mountain.

It was not a fertile field, but it was not bad.

Farmed by several tenant farmers.

These tenants promoted a man named Lin to be the steward and report to Anian about the farm affairs.

A-Nian Jiang listened with a smile, and then said, "I know you have been working hard this year.

For the Mid-Autumn Festival, each household will have two jars of wine and two pig legs.

Tomorrow, Uncle Lin, go to my house and bring it to everyone."

One point also means celebrating the festival.”

Manager Lin smiled happily and thanked him profusely, thinking that although the master was young, he was very eye-opening.

Of course, Manager Lin also understands that although this field belongs to Ah Nian, He family will take care of it now, but the He family has asked him to come over to win people's hearts, which shows that it still belongs to Ah Nian in the end.

Therefore, Manager Lin respectfully told A-Nian about the things in the fields, and asked the women at home to kill chickens and sheep to entertain A-Nian and his party for dinner.

A-Nian declined, and Manager Lin sent them all the way to watch them get married.

Just the car.

A Nian asked He Zijin in the car about his response to Manager Lin, "Sister Zijin, is it okay?"

He Zijin smiled, "It's quite similar to that."

A Nian was very happy.

He Lie said, "Brother A Nian, you are so generous.

You only have two pig legs for one family."

There is also wine.

Anian said, "Sister Zijin said, it's called giving up to get something.

Now we are generous.

The tenants know that we are good owners, so they will naturally work hard.

But there is a limit to being good.

People have to be blind.

Okay, people with bad intentions will think you are easy to bully, so it’s good to be nice, but you can’t make people feel easy to bully.”

He Lie nodded as if he understood, and said seriously, "I've never seen my sister be so thoughtful before."

He Zijin said seriously, "How can you little brats be able to understand the wisdom of my lord?"

He Lie retched twice as he walked out of the car, and He Zijin gave him two violent blows with his bent fingers.

He held his forehead and groaned in pain.

A-Nian chuckled.

He had a harvest this year and wanted to give the money from the harvest to Sister Zijin.

After Sister Zijin left him a few taels of pocket money, she asked her aunt to keep an eye on the property.

A Nian truly felt that there must be no better person than Sister Zijin in the world.

From now on, he will not need an acre of these fields, but will use them as a dowry for his sister Zijin.

The three girls looked at the autumn light, and when they arrived at Bishuitan, everyone stopped and walked around to see the scenery of Bishuitan.

It was the harvest season, and many people came to Bishuitan to play.

At first, the third girl and her group really didn't notice the Chen family and their group, but now that they had seen them, they couldn't pretend not to know them.

Especially when Chen Da Niu saw the third girl, she smiled brightly and said, "Oh, what a coincidence."

The third girl was wearing a blue shirt and an apricot blossom skirt.

She was pretty and delicate.

She just pretended not to hear what Chen Da Niu said and smiled, "What a coincidence."

Chen Zhi still looked like a spotless and clean young man, with a somewhat embarrassed look on his face.

He couldn't help but look at the third girl with a little yearning in his eyes, and smiled, "The third sister, Zijin, is taking Anian and Alie to visit the lake."

"Yes."

The third girl saw that besides Grandma Chen, there was also Mrs.

Xu and Miss Xu.

Grandma Chen smiled when she saw the third girl and wanted to send them away with just one sentence, "I just saw your grandmother there.

The temple is looking for you.”

He Zijin pretended to be innocent and did not want to get involved with this blind date group, and said, "Then let's go."

The third girl nodded slightly, "Uncle, cousin, cousin, Mrs.

Xu, Miss Xu, please chat slowly."

It turned out that this was Chen Zhi's sincerity, and the third girl could finally feel at ease.

She didn't use many methods.

It was so easy to solve, but it saved her a lot of trouble.

Just as the group was about to leave, they heard a scream from Chen Da Niu.

It turned out that a green snake fell from the acacia tree and landed on Chen Da Niu's head.

It's about to pass.

Grandma Chen was also frightened, but she did not dare to help her daughter catch the snake.

Chen Dalang was confused.

The three girls walked over in two steps, and with their hands like lightning, they pinched the snake seven inches at once.

The snake was about one meter long, and looked at it.

Quite plump.

Chen Da Niu had goosebumps all over her body.

She pointed at the third girl and screamed, "Did you bring a snake here, you vixen?"

The third girl really couldn't believe Chen Da Niu's brain structure.

Chen Da Niu was so ignorant of good people.

The third girl felt that she was a good person in vain, so she turned around and threw the snake back to her, and walked away. gd1806102:
