Chapter 295: Everything Goes Wrong
"Just talk about the matter, why are you talking about that little idiot?"
Zhang Man's face turned redder when Zhang Qiu teased him seriously.
"What's wrong with a little idiot? She's a good wife!" Zhang Qiu pretended to be serious and patted his second brother's shoulder earnestly.
He was not as tall as Zhang Man, and his appearance was funny no matter how you looked at him.
"Don't talk nonsense, go in and see how that little girl fooled our mother."
Zhang Man pulled Zhang Qiu's hand off his shoulder and walked inside with big strides.
"Erniu is such a good girl who knows how to talk and calculate. I think you are the smartest among all the villages here."
"Aunt, you are too kind. I am embarrassed to praise you. In our villages, Jinhua is the most capable. Everyone says she is beautiful and virtuous, and she is filial to me. I am so lucky!"
"Aunt, don't take it. If you take more, I am afraid that the money I bring will not be enough to pay the bill."
"I am tired of raising too many, how can I take your money? Erniu is reducing my burden. I have to thank you."
Zhang Man hurried into the yard and almost fainted when he saw the scene in front of him.
My mother picked up the little rabbits and put them into Erniu's backpack as if they were rabbits for free.
Erniu said the words of refusal, but her monkey eyes were smiling into a slit.
She could have put down the lid of the backpack with just one hand, but she stood beside the backpack without moving.
Watching her mother put down the little rabbits and put another pair in.
Zhang Man almost choked with pain, that was all pure silver.
Damn, she was modest in words but honest in body.
Zhang Man took two steps at a time and walked up, hiding the pained expression.
"Mom, Erniu is a girl and doesn't have much strength. It's hard for her to carry it if you put too much."
Erniu saw that the little rabbits in the basket were almost squeezed into meat patties, so she slowly closed the lid.
Then she took out a purse from her bosom and looked at Cao, "Aunt, you have to take some money, I can't take advantage of you for nothing."
Cao pushed Erniu's hand back and said sincerely, "Erniu, take it quickly, this rabbit was originally given to us by the boss, and it was not spent. If I take your money again, it would be like taking advantage of you for nothing!"
Zhang Man saw his mother's enthusiasm and couldn't bear to watch.
He got up early and worked late to cut grass and feed the rabbits, watching the rabbits getting fatter and fatter day by day, day by day, day by day, is it easy for him?
In his mother's mouth, all his work was in vain? ? ?
Thinking that her family used to be white-collar breeders in the farm, Erniu no longer refused and put away her purse and put it in her arms.
"Thank you, Auntie. If you need Erniu in the future, just ask."
"Okay, okay, Erniu is skillful. Wait until next spring, Erniu will help you cut a few pairs of shoe uppers. My hands are getting clumsier and clumsier. The styles I cut are always wrong. Look at the pair on my second son's feet. They are too ugly."
Cao said, bending down and lifting Zhang Man's robe up, revealing his big feet.
Zhang Man's originally flushed face became even redder.
"Mom, don't make a fuss. I think the shoes you make are pretty." Zhang Man reached out and took the hem of the robe from his mother's hand and put it down.
Erniu saw the size at a glance.
"Don't worry, aunt, we don't have to wait until next spring. When it snows again, Erniu can't go out at home, so she can do needlework at home."
"Zhang Erge's feet are the same length as my eldest brother's. I have a ready-made shoe upper pattern at home. It's a piece of cake to cut a few more scissors."
Erniu glanced at Zhang Man and saw that his face was as red as a monkey's butt.
She pretended not to know and asked: "No wonder Zhang Erge said there is no need to warm yourself by the fire. You are so hot."
"No! It's so cold today. You didn't catch a cold and have a fever, did you?" Erniu raised her eyebrows and pretended to be surprised.
Zhang Man: "..."
Cao looked back and forth between her son and Erniu.
One of them is a big fool and a dull person, and the other is smart and clever. They are really a natural match.
Seeing Erniu questioning her son's poor health, Cao hurriedly said with a smile: "He didn't catch a cold. My second son is in good health. He can go to the river to take a bath even on snowy days."
"Ahem..."
He was so anxious that he almost choked to death on his own saliva.
Zhang Man was speechless. His mother's boasting made him want to vomit blood.
At this time, Zhang Qiu, who was standing in the distance, also came over and echoed? "Sister Erniu, you are wrong. My second brother is in good health. In the snow a few days ago, my second brother shoveled all the snow in the yard with his bare chest."
"Erniu, don't believe it. I'm not a snow pine. How can I not be afraid of the cold?" Zhang Man couldn't stand it anymore and quickly denied it.
If his mother and third brother continued to boast, he would be crushed by a stone.
Erniu pursed her lips and smiled, "Second brother Zhang is so modest."
Zhang Man: "..."
Cao smiled awkwardly, "Don't laugh at me, Erniu. This child is thin-skinned and blushes when he sees you."
Zhang Man: "..."
If there is still snow in the yard, he would want to dive in and hide.
"Mom, I'm going to see if there is anything else that needs to be explained to my eldest brother." Zhang Man said and walked away.
"Second brother forgot that my eldest brother is not not coming back. What is there to explain? I have said everything I should say just now."
"My eldest brother will come home once every ten days or half a month in the future. You must ask clearly." Zhang Man gave Zhang Qiu a look and prepared to run away.
Cao grabbed him and said, "Wait! There is nothing for you to do in the room. Your eldest brother is talking to your father about serious matters. Don't go and interfere."
Erniu saw that there was nothing for her to do here. She thanked him again and squatted down to carry the rabbit and leave.
Cao held her arm with her other hand, "Don't worry, Zhang Man said it's too heavy, it's hard for a girl to carry it, let him help you take it home."
Zhang Man: "..." I got up too early today and everything went wrong.
"Aunt, I'm so sorry." Erniu showed a rare shyness on her face.
"Brother, don't be stunned, go early and come back early, I'll go to light the fire and cook." Zhang Qiu took advantage of Zhang Man's daze, pushed Zhang Man and ran away.
Zhang Man had no choice but to take the rope from Erniu, picked up the backpack and put it on his shoulder.
"Erniu leads the way, don't let me take you to the wrong place."
"Aunt, see you later." Erniu waved goodbye, and then strode to follow Zhang Man's pace.
"Brother Zhang, you are busy doing things all day long, and you don't even go to the other side of the river to walk. If we go out of here, we are fellow villagers. You don't even know where your fellow villagers live. If you tell others, people will laugh to death."
"When you go to Beijing, will others ask you where Gousheng lives?" Zhang Man kept walking.
Erniu shook her head, "No."
"That's right. By the same token, when I go out, others won't ask me where you live."
"If you don't want to ask, then don't ask. Why are you walking so fast? There's no one chasing you."
Zhang Man is tall and strong, with long legs. He seems to walk slowly, and it's hard for Erniu to catch up with him.
Zhang Man said without turning his head: "My eldest brother is going to Beijing tomorrow, and I'm in a hurry to go home to cook two more dishes as a farewell party for my eldest brother and his wife."
