Chapter 34034 Chu Song Old Swan
"Oh, my—old swan—"
"How can I let my dear sister-in-law do such dirty and tiring work!"
"Sister-in-law, you should take a rest and let me do it!"
Chai Xueqi was preparing milk powder for her baby daughter when she heard Chu Song's affected voice from a distance. Her smile froze and she cursed a hundred and eight times in her heart.
I'm convinced! No, it's bad luck!
He is obviously a tiger, but his nose is like a dog's!
Every time she made milk powder for her daughter, Chu Song would come over when he smelled the scent.
"Sister-in-law?" Chu Song couldn't understand other people's expressions at all. He blinked his big eyes, almost sticking them to Chai Xueqi's face.
Chai Xueqi could only smile awkwardly. Milk powder was in short supply. Her family bought it specially for her granddaughter. It was said to be very nutritious. There was only one can.
Last time, when she drank malted milk a few times in the hospital, Chu Song got so carried away that he said malted milk and Red Star milk powder had different flavors and they should be switched. But she hid the malted milk well, and he tricked her into drinking milk powder every day.
Thinking of this, Chai Xueqi was very dissatisfied: "It's okay, Xianxian, go play by yourself, I'll make some milk powder for my daughter."
Chu Song looked like he didn't understand what was being said, "You really don't want my help?"
"No need, go and have fun." Chai Xueqi thought to herself that it was a waste of help. Help was fake, and the real purpose was to get a piece of the pie.
"Okay then." Chu Song nodded and said cutely, "Sister-in-law, remember to make me a cup too."
Chai Xueqi couldn't withstand this straight ball. Her expression froze again and she couldn't help but speak with sarcasm.
"Xianxian, do you like to drink these too? I thought only babies liked them."
Chu Song: "Hehe."
"My mother also said I looked like a baby."
Chai Xueqi: “…”
What the hell?! Is that a compliment?!
The mother-in-law was clearly scolding her for not being able to do anything and for only knowing how to eat, drink, defecate and urinate like a giant baby all day long!
Chai Xueqi originally had some complaints about her biased mother-in-law, but she didn't dare to show it. But now she felt strangely sympathetic for her for a few seconds.
Seeing that Chai Xueqi hadn't made any move and was standing there in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking, Chu Song poked her, "Sister-in-law, why are you daydreaming again? Hurry up and go to the bar. I'll be waiting for you."
Chai Xueqi came back to her senses and saw Chu Song’s brilliant smile, and a feeling of depression welled up in her heart.
She smiled awkwardly: "Okay, I'll make it for you. Go ask your mother-in-law to get a bowl."
"Okay."
Chu Song went happily.
Not long after, Chai Xueqi heard Ye Xiuzhi yell, "Don't you get enough food every day? You're greedy for everything. How come you even want your niece's milk powder?"
Then there is Ye Xiuzhi’s classic quote: “Where’s my broom?”
There was a period of chaos and disorder.
Chu Song muttered something, and Ye Xiuzhi's voice gradually became lower. Then Chai Xueqi could no longer hear any noise outside.
About two minutes later, Chu Song came in with a bowl in his hand, smiling, and did not forget to play the victim: "Sister-in-law, you don't even know what just happened!"
Chai Xueqi smiled fakely, no, she knew, and she did it on purpose.
Even a clay man has a temper. Chai Xueqi felt that she was "tortured" by her sister-in-law every day, and a little anger was harmless.
Although I couldn't stop the glutton, I felt much better after hearing her being scolded.
Chu Song was blabbering, "Oh, Mom is too fierce. I just went to get a bowl and she scolded me. She actually said that all I do is eat, eat, eat."
Chai Xueqi complained in her heart: Isn’t it?
"Little Purple Potato Fairy is still the best. She has such a gentle mother. Unlike me, I get scolded all day long. It would be great if my mother could be as gentle as my sister-in-law."
Chai Xueqi: “…”
Although my sister-in-law is lazy, trouble-making, playful, and idle, she occasionally speaks very nicely.
Chai Xueqi was scolded by her parents every day when she was a child, so she determined to become a gentle and considerate mother, never beating or scolding her own children, but convincing them with reason.
She said with a pleasant face, "Bring me the bowl, I'll make it for you."
Chu Song happily came forward with the bowl and reminded her, "Sister-in-law, please add more. The last time was a bit bland."
"..." Chai Xueqi rolled her eyes inwardly. She took back what she had said before. It didn't make any sense at all!
I really owed her in my previous life! I want to take the blame if I can't finish it.
In the end, Chu Song happily drank the instant milk powder—a simple version of milk tea from the 1970s. Then he took out the chicken claw pear like a treasure and said sweetly, "Sister-in-law, look, I picked this with great difficulty. You get to taste it first!"
Chai Xueqi took a look and said, "Chicken claw pear?"
"Uh-huh."
"It's snowing now, and I thought it was out of season. Where did you pick it?"
Chicken claw pears are only available around the time of frost.
Chu Song replied, "It's out of season. I went to the mountains specifically to look for them. April is the last time the peach blossoms bloom in the mountains."
This was the only aspect she was particularly concerned about. Chai Xueqi didn't understand the second half of her sentence and just nodded: "How many did you pick?"
“A lot!”
"The extra ones can be used to soak in wine." Chai Xueqi was not happy to eat these, so she was not very interested. She said casually, "Chicken claw pears are not very tasty. They are better soaked in wine."
Chu Song was curious: "Hey, can it be used to make wine?"
"Yes, the wine made from it is very fragrant."
Chu Song doesn't drink, so she hasn't paid attention to these things. She doesn't want to contribute her snacks to make wine.
But on second thought, she felt that the New Year was coming soon and visiting relatives and friends was essential, and Chu Song would never miss this opportunity to make a profit in a legitimate way.
Most people in the village, regardless of gender, age or status, know how to drink. They say that after drinking two taels of wine, they will have more energy to farm.
Chu Song thought about it for a long time, giving gifts and returning gifts, returning gifts and giving gifts again, and finally made up his mind.
"In that case, I won't treat it as a snack." Chu Song vowed, "Take it all out and make wine. Since my sister-in-law likes it, I'll make a big bucket of it no matter what!"
Chai Xueqi: “?”
Oh no, I'm slightly touched.
Chai Xueqi: "Forget it, there isn't much liquor left at home, let's not waste it."
Chu Song: "What's the big deal? You're much more valuable than wine. I'll go get more wine when it's gone!"
Chai Xueqi gritted her teeth in hatred, damn it.
How can my sister-in-law be so annoying at one moment and so lovable at another!
She couldn't help but reflect on whether she had been too petty before. Xianxian was just a child who hadn't grown up. She was simple and innocent. How could she have any bad intentions?
well.
You are a grown-up yourself, why are you still arguing with a child!
So, without Chu Song knowing, Chai Xueqi had already started to reflect deeply.
Chu Song immediately started to act: "Sister-in-law, I'll go buy some wine first. Can you teach me how to make it later?"
How could Chai Xueqi not agree? She immediately agreed.
The price of liquor in this era was quite cheap compared to later generations. You could buy a bottle of Moutai for a few dollars, and ordinary grain liquor was even cheaper.
But it is still expensive. Eighty cents can buy one pound and two ounces of loose liquor, while Chu Song's entire fortune is only seventy cents.
Chu Song checked his savings and felt that it was not enough, so he went to Ye Xiuzhi with a shameless face, stretched out his hands and asked for money.
The ending was obvious, she was scolded.
Ye Xiuzhi's original words were: "I think you are bored and have nothing to do, and you are still soaking in wine. How do you know how to soak in wine? I bring you hot water to soak your feet every day, but I have never seen you do me a favor. Instead, you soak your feet in wine. I think you are..."
Chu Song didn't listen to the rest of the words. She covered her ears and walked away in shame.
Ye Xiuzhi, pass!
When Chu Song's plan failed, she came up with another one, and then turned her attention to other people. This time, she made some preparations and even had a speech in mind, and what she said was so sincere.
So her father donated one dollar and ten cents as a friendly donation.
My second brother sponsored 80 cents.
Big brother sponsored 50 cents.
Including her own, Chu Song had a total of three dollars and ten cents! A full three dollars!
After suddenly receiving a huge sum of money, Chu Song calmed down for a while, then took out a small army green cloth bag, slung it over his shoulder, and set off in a heroic and high-spirited manner.
She bought three pounds and six ounces of liquor at the grain and oil station and had seventy cents left. Chu Song thought it was a coincidence that her net worth was exactly seventy cents.
Oh my, God’s arrangement is the greatest.
So Chu Song swallowed it obediently.
Seeing that Chu Songzhen had gone to buy wine, Chai Xueqi washed a large ceramic jar at home, disinfected it with boiling water, and then dried it. It was actually not difficult to make wine.
For fellow villagers, it’s good enough to have something to drink, and no one is that picky.
"Sister-in-law, how many days do we need to soak this wine?"
Chai Xueqi smiled and replied, "A few days won't be enough. It will take at least a month."
Chu Song: “…” The sky fell.
She thought soaking for four or five days would be enough!
Chu Song asked with a bitter face: "Is there no other way? Can it be accelerated? I want to finish it before the New Year."
"How can we speed this up? If we can't add more, just let it steep slowly. We're not in a rush, so it doesn't matter when we drink it."
It’s different! It’s completely different! Chu Song’s heart was filled with tears. She wanted to use the small fish to catch the big fish and give it as a gift to make money during the Chinese New Year!
If I wait another month, it will be a question whether I can make my investment back.
"Wait a few more days. The wine won't go bad if you keep it here. Don't be so depressed. We all understand your intentions. It's the same if you drink it after the New Year." Chai Xueqi comforted her with a smile.
She was too embarrassed to say it, but Chu Song's face was filled with despair, as if he wouldn't live to see tomorrow...
Chu Song was indignant: "No, you don't understand at all. I'm already in tatters and can't be repaired!"
Chai Xueqi: “…”
Well, you're starting to talk nonsense again.
Chu Song was filled with sadness. He sneaked back to his room and ate some snacks. He also ate half a bowl of rice in the evening before he felt better.
Then she began to conceive her own masterpiece. After thinking for a long time, she finally decided to write a fantasy adventure story.
She couldn't come up with serious literature.
She was afraid that she would be invited to "have tea" as soon as she wrote about the one-night stand between the hero and heroine in melodramatic literature.
After much thought, a young boy's adventure story is most suitable for her!
Chu Song started biting the pen again and made up a bunch of settings. The protagonist of the story was called Chu Bufan, and her nickname was Shuli, because her parents hoped that she would be extraordinary and well-educated.
Unfortunately, the twelve-year-old Shuli was always mediocre. She was just an ordinary little girl. She was neither extraordinary nor well-educated.
It was not until the night of her thirteenth birthday that Shuli, who was secretly hiding in the study reading comic books, saw a huge meteor outside the window hitting the yard. She bravely went to check and found a small snake from outer space.
The little snake is goose yellow all over, has two big red eyes, can speak human language, and it also has a spaceship that contains many incredible high-tech products.
The little snake told Shuli that it came from the planet MZ-2077. An accident occurred while it was on a mission and it unfortunately fell to Earth. It now needs help and needs to find the lost energy as soon as possible, then restart the spacecraft and continue the mission!
Shuli touched the talking snake and asked, "Wow, what is your mission? How can I help you?"
After a while, she asked again: "Can you answer me first, have you seen the fairy Chang'e?" She had just finished reading the story of Chang'e tonight.
Little snake: “…”
"I haven't seen Chang'e, but once the spacecraft is repaired, I can take you to see the moon, no, I should say the Moon Palace."
Shuli: “Wow!”
Little Snake: "My code name is Nuwa, you can call me Lady Nuwa."
Shuli: “Wow!”
Little Snake: "I can sense that the energy I lost is in this city, but I need the people on Earth to help me find it. You are the first person on Earth to find me."
Shuli: “Wow!”
Little Snake: "My mission is very important. I have to destroy the evil demon king and maintain peace in the universe. If I fail in my mission, the Earth you live on will also be destroyed and invaded."
Shuli: “Wow!”
Little Snake: "...So, are you willing to help me or not?!"
Shuli: “Wow!”
Shuli: "Cool! I do!"
"By the way, can I not go to school?"
Little Snake: "No!"
In the end, Shuli and Lady Nuwa made a contract, agreeing to regain the lost energy of the spacecraft as soon as possible, maintain peace in the universe, and defend their homeland!
Shuli sneaked back to the bedroom with the little snake in her arms, while her parents were still immersed in their sweet dreams.
That night, she felt like she was the ordinary yet extraordinary Chu Bufan and Chu Shuli.
…
Chu Song put down his pen and looked at his beginning. He was extremely satisfied. It was very good, done in one go, and it was simply perfect.
Chu Song picked up his pen and prepared to continue writing the second chapter. Ye Xiuzhi floated over at some point, and a ferocious face appeared in front of the window.
"You're still not sleeping so late! You're wasting my kerosene lamp again!"
Chu Song: “…” Damn it!
All the inspiration was scared away.
Chu Song stood up, made an infuriating face, and then silently drew the curtains to block Ye Xiuzhi's face. He was deceiving himself!
In short, out of sight, out of mind.
Ye Xiuzhi was so angry that she laughed. She knocked on the window silently and told her to go to bed early.
Chu Song: "I know—"
In the end, Chu Song stayed up until midnight and wrote three chapters in one go. Then the plot got stuck when Shu Li, fully armed in armor, was fighting a classmate possessed by the devil.
She stretched herself and unscrupulously put down her pen, deciding to copy the manuscript onto letter paper tomorrow and mail it to Capital Publishing House.
Everything will be perfect.
That night, Chu Song had a sweet dream.
Her jujube wine was brewed overnight, and the aroma of the wine attracted many people to buy it.
One sip will make your face rosy, two sips will prolong your life, three sips will make you ascend to heaven, and a mysterious rich woman will pay a huge sum of money to buy her secret recipe for making wine.
Chu Song made a fortune.
At the same time, her groundbreaking masterpiece caused an immediate sensation across the country once it was published. She became the most popular best-selling novelist among young people in China and dominated the list for more than 30 years.
Gaining both fame and fortune is so beautiful that you wake up smiling in your dreams.
The next morning, Chu Song really woke up with a smile. She hid in her bed and savored her sweet dream until Ye Xiuzhi, who was on the verge of a rage, called her to get up for the seventh time and said that if she didn't get up again, she would be punished by the family rules. Only then did she reluctantly get up.
———It’s her turn to eat egg custard today!
Yes, this has become a fine tradition of the Chu family.
Considering that Chai Xueqi was in the confinement period, Ye Xiuzhi increased the frequency of her eating egg custard to twice every three days, while Chu Song remained the same, eating it once every two days.
Ye Xiuzhi originally thought that the little girl would complain about "unfairness", but she actually accepted it obediently. She even generously said that her sister-in-law's health was the most important thing, and that she must get enough nutrition after giving birth, and it didn't matter if she ate less.
...It's so rare, so normal that it's a little abnormal.
Finally spoke human language.
As a mother, although Ye Xiuzhi has her own filter for her child, she was still touched. She was even a little moved. She thought her silly daughter was not "hopeless", at least she understood some things!
Chu Song put on his clothes, got up, opened the door with full energy, and then concentrated his energy on his dantian.
"Good morning to Ms. Ye, who has the most wonderful daughter in the world."
Ye Xiuzhi was already used to it, and without even raising her eyelids, she threw a broom at her.
"Don't waste time, finish your breakfast and go clean up the shit."
Chu Song's expression suddenly fell apart, and he felt that he had fallen from a sweet little fairy to a poop scooper.
The poop she had to clean up was not the poop from other chickens and ducks, but the poop from the big fat goose she brought back from her "good uncle"'s house.
Chu Song originally planned to kill the goose and eat its meat during the New Year. His evil claws had already been extended, but he did not expect that the big fat goose had such a strong desire to survive that it actually laid two goose eggs on the spot.
two!
Not only Chu Song, but everyone in the Chu family was stunned.
Chu Heng clapped his hands and praised, "Little sister, you are really amazing! Look how scared you are! The goose even laid two eggs."
Chu Song: "...Thank you. You don't have to praise me if you don't know how to do it."
Chu Song decided to keep it for another day for the sake of the goose eggs. As a result, the big fat goose laid two more eggs the next day, so Chu Song decided to wait a little longer.
The result was amazing. The big fat goose seemed to have become a spirit. Every time Chu Song wanted to kill it, it would lay eggs to save its life. But once Chu Song gave up his murderous intention and was ready to let it go, it would start to rot and not lay any eggs.
This cycle repeats itself over and over again.
Chu Song was tortured to the point of losing his temper, and the fat goose had visibly lost weight. The man and the goose were torturing each other. Ye Xiuzhi couldn't stand it any longer. She felt that the goose was similar to Chu Song, both cunning and sly, so she felt pity for him.
"Come on, come on. You don't need this piece of meat. I'll buy you a few goslings next year. You can raise them together."
Chu Song: "You swear not to lie to me."
Ye Xiuzhi: "I sent you a big-headed ghost, come here and see if I can deal with you!"
Chu Song: Yes, that’s right, that’s the taste.
So Chu Song gave up killing and simply raised the goose as a pet, even giving it a name, Xiang Tiange.
Xiang is the Xiang of Xiang Baoshu, my mortal enemy:)
Chu Song didn't know whether Xiang Tiange was there or not, but it was true that Xiang Tiange pooped all over the floor. And after being promoted to a pet, Xiang Tiange became a little arrogant. The goose took advantage of its master's power and bullied the other chickens and ducks in the house every day.
Ye Xiuzhi had no choice but to let it roam free in the yard as she felt that she could no longer keep it together with the chickens and ducks, and building a separate nest for it was even more unrealistic.
Xiang Tiange no longer runs around, but has developed a new habit: he likes to poop all over the floor.
"Little sister, your Xiang Tiange is pooping again!"
From then on, this sentence almost became a curse.
