"Okay, I'll listen to you," Zhong Mingwei replied. After a while, he nodded again, "I will eat fish in the future. I will pick you up."
"Then let's just talk about it that way," Ah Chou smiled and winked at him. "A dignified man must keep his word. I'm not good next to me, but I have a strong grudge. If you don't pick on me once, I will hate you for the rest of my life."
"Don't worry, I keep my word." Zhong Mingwei followed her and smiled, his eyes a little sore.
August 15th, 32nd year of Jiasheng
Ning Guta.
This year's Mid-Autumn Festival. Zhong Mingwei and Ah Chou finally had the big stewed fish they had been longing for.
The fish was bought by Ah Chou from the market. She went down the mountain early that day, and this was her first big festival after being with Zhong Mingwei. Ah Chou attaches great importance to it. Start planning the menu from the first few days.
Only when we reached the foot of the mountain. Ah Chou was stopped by Grandma Chen.
"Girl! Girl!" Grandma Chen stood in the fenced yard and waved at Ah Chou. "Girl, come here!"
"Ah!" Ah Chou was so busy running over with a bamboo basket on his back. Looking at the hoe in Grandma Chen's hand and the cabbage growing happily in the fenced yard, Ah Chou said with a smile. "Grandma Chen, the cabbage you plant is really good. When I went down the mountain last time, the cabbage was only a little bit, and now the leaves are so big!"
"Where is this going? When you come back next month, this cabbage can grow a lot," Grandma Chen said with a smile. She put down the hoe in her hand, opened the courtyard door, and led Ah Chou in. Shut up and complained, "You girl, I asked you to come to get the wages. Why do you keep groaning and not going down the mountain? I have been waiting for you for a long time, thinking that if you don't go down the mountain again, I will give you a gift. Going up the mountain, I have to send the money to you before the Mid-Autumn Festival, right?"
"Grandma, it's all my fault. You see, when I was busy at home, I forgot about it." A Chou smiled apologetically, and helped Grandma Chen into the room together.
Ah Chou is very busy these days. Autumn comes early in Ningguta. Although it is only mid-August at this time, it is already late autumn. A Chou has been busy cleaning and changing seasons these days. Miscellaneous blankets and other things are enough, but Zhong Mingwei was paralyzed for too long, A Chou tore a lot of quilt sheets for him to use as a cushion, now it is inevitable that the quilt is missing, but pulling the quilt It was too expensive, and Ah Chou couldn't bear it, so in the past few days, he cut and sewed Zhong Mingwei's worn clothes to make a list. Although the colors look strange when they are stitched together, fortunately, most of Zhong Mingwei's clothes are Light colors like moon white, blue gray, and bamboo green don't look so obtrusive.
"Oh, it's okay, I'll do your work first." Grandma Chen said in a hurry.
From Uncle Chen's mouth, Grandma Chen probably understood the situation of A Chou's family. It is really not easy for a sixteen-year-old girl to take care of a family and take care of an elder with handicapped legs.
These are the original words of Uncle Chen.
In Uncle Chen's eyes, Ah Chou is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and he looks like a baby. Naturally, he would not associate Ah Chou with getting married. With the way the two get along, Uncle Chen naturally thinks that they are elders and juniors, but seeing that Zhong Mingwei doesn't look like Ah Chou's father, Uncle Chen thinks that Zhong Mingwei must be A Chou's uncle.
"Is Mr. Chen not there?" After entering the room, A Chou asked Grandma Chen casually without seeing Chen Qingxuan.
"Oh, the magistrate sent someone to pick it up early in the morning, saying that there was some kind of Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting, tsk tsk tsk, I think it's probably just a big house full of people eating, drinking and flattering," Grandma Chen said, obviously With a look of displeasure, "Qingxuan is tired of having to do this once or twice a year, but he has to go."
"Mr. Chen is knowledgeable, so the magistrate will naturally value it." Ah Chou didn't quite understand these things, so he had to say that at the moment.
