Chapter 139 Farewell

"That's great news."

Zhao Chunhua pondered it in her heart, and the more she thought about it, the happier she felt. This not only eliminated her worries, but also reduced a trouble for Xiao Shitou in the future.

"Thank you, Third Brother, for telling me the good news. I have to go home now. I'll come visit you next time I'm in town."

Zhao Chunhua carried the bamboo basket on her back and waved goodbye to Zhao Yunbai with a smile.

If it weren't for the need to maintain an elegant image, she really wanted to jump a few times to express her inner joy.

The boss looked at Zhao Chunhua in surprise as she bought half a basket of meat buns and a whole basket of steamed buns made of white flour.

Strangely, Zhao Chunhua could always make various multi-grain steamed buns easily at home, but she always failed when making white flour steamed buns.

Although I couldn't find the reason after repeated attempts, I decided to just buy it and enjoy the food.

Besides, I have already bought the meat, so it doesn’t matter if I spend a little more money to buy some steamed buns. My family will definitely be happy.

Shu Ziying has been working at home recently. The sun has made him darker and thinner.

However, judging from his mental state, he is in good condition and full of energy.

After the autumn harvest, the family finally had enough food reserves and no longer had to worry about food every day.

Zhao Chunhua returned home around three in the afternoon.

There was neither rain nor sunshine today, so the ox cart set off early.

Zhao Chunhua handed a small piece of mung bean cake to Xiao Shitou, and also gave a whole piece to Shu Ziying.

This mung bean cake has a very delicate texture and a sweet taste, perfect with a cup of tea.

After tasting two pieces of mung bean cakes, Zhao Chunhua picked up a sickle, put a bamboo basket on her back and went out.

It had just rained and the number of mosquitoes in the yard had increased a lot. She planned to go to the wild to cut some yellow broom leaves to use as mosquito repellent.

In wastelands and along roadsides at the foot of mountains, you can see many yellow broom trees, which have small purple flowers and emit a rich fragrance; the leaves generally consist of five pieces, and sometimes variants with seven leaves are found.

Vitex negundo has many uses. The young leaves can be picked and used to make tea.

The branches and leaves can effectively repel mosquitoes after being burned; the ashes after burning can also be soaked in water and used as a material for making rice dumplings.

There is also an unexpected use - the yellow broom sticks are used to beat people.

These slender but strong branches can cause extreme pain when hit by them.

Zhao Chunhua carefully cut a lot of yellow broom leaves. She only carefully cut off the upper part without pulling up the entire root, so that the tree can continue to grow new branches and leaves for next use.

Since fresh branches and leaves were difficult to ignite directly, she found some dry straw and mixed them together for burning. As the smoke slowly spread, the whole room was filled with a pungent smell.

"You look like you have a lot on your mind?"

The two people in the yard, an adult and a child, noticed that she was completely different from when she left home. At that time, she was so happy and comfortable.

Shu Ziying thought for a while, and finally mustered up the courage to say: "My mother mentioned that there is a good young man in Zhaojia Village, and asked me if I would like to meet him."

Blindly arranged marriages like this are actually quite common in the local area, but if the parents care a little more about their daughter's future, they will let her meet the other party before making a decision.

"Don't you want to see him?"

Zhao Chunhua was a little confused about this. She didn't quite understand why Shu Ziying was bothered by this.

In fact, she herself has never experienced love, so she doesn't have too many special ideas about love.

But she would never force others to choose to be single like her.

Shu Ziying nodded, then shook her head: "My mother said that the man was a hunter, and his family had two acres of land, so they lived a decent life."

After she said this, a complicated expression appeared on her face.

Nowadays, many hunters do not have land. The fact that this person has two acres of land shows that he is very ambitious and does not just think about hunting for a living.

In her heart, a person who is responsible and works hard for the family is worthy of respect.

And after getting married, you will have more opportunities to eat meat.

But Shu Ziying was worried that the man was too strong, and if they didn’t get along after marriage, she was afraid that he would hit her.

Such worries made her hesitate and she didn't know what to do.

Zhao

Chunhua really can't give any good advice.

Her attitude towards emotional matters is to ignore them all. When her friends come to her to talk about emotional problems, she can only listen quietly. As for how to solve the problem, she has no idea.

After a few times, they stopped consulting her.

She feels that sometimes listening is more important than giving advice, because everyone's thoughts are unique.

"This kind of thing really requires careful consideration. Think about it slowly. I'll go prepare dinner."

She looked out the window and said, gossip cannot be eaten, the most important thing is to fill your stomach.

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the kitchen.

Shu Ziying watched Zhao Chunhua walk into the kitchen, hugged Xiao Shitou and sighed. It was really difficult to make a decision.

The little stone was lifted up, somewhat confused.

He saw Shu Ziying staring at him, so he quickly stuffed the remaining mung bean cake in his hand into his mouth, thinking that as long as he ate it, no one else would be able to snatch it away from him.

Shu Ziying couldn't help laughing: "Why are you so likable?"

Her tone was full of fondness.

While wiping Xiao Shitou's hands and face with a wet towel, Shu Ziying secretly breathed a sigh of relief and decided to go meet the man. After all, he couldn't deny someone based on his imagination alone.

If she could have such a lovely baby after getting married, she would be very happy to accept such a life.

After spending a long time with Zhao Chunhua, Shu Ziying also got used to calling Xiao Shitou "baby", which sounded very intimate.

On days without the sun, the sky always gets dark faster.

She looked up at the sky and made a silent decision in her heart.

After dinner, Shu Ziying went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

First rinse the bowl with a little hot water to dissolve the oil stains, then keep the basin of water with oil stains to prepare for mixing chicken feed.

Then wipe the bowl again with wood ash to remove residual grease, and finally rinse it with water.

After feeding the chicks on both sides, Shu Ziying gently waved at Xiao Shitou as a farewell to it.

At this time, Little Stone was full and lying comfortably in the basket, and did not notice her leaving.

Shu Ziying sighed softly and thought: It seems that I really thought too much...

This is just a little joke, there is no need to take it too seriously.

As soon as he got home, Shu Ziying quickly nodded to Shu Hong, who was already waiting impatiently.

Although the action was small, it conveyed her agreement.

Seeing her daughter finally nodded and agreed to meet, Shu Hong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
