Chapter 19： return

The family was happily eating together, and a few children grabbed a bowl of scrambled eggs with shrimp, and the knock on the door rang, '' Hammer went to open the door to see who was coming. ''

Hammer reluctantly left the dining table and rushed to open the door. Pei Xiu heard a surprised voice: "Father, you are back. Wow, there are rabbits and pheasants. ''

When Pei Xiu heard the voice, she stood up, and the group of children stopped grabbing the bowl of vegetables, and all the hula la ran out and shouted around Zhou Cheng.

Zhou Cheng looked at the lively and cheerful appearances of several children, and didn't feel tired anymore. He put the chicken in his right hand with his left, picked up the bench, strode forward, and saw Pei Xiu standing under the eaves with a smile on his lips, looking at them with tender eyebrows, his heart was warm.

When you came back from hard work, someone at home was waiting for you, and the hilarious sounds of the children filled Zhou Cheng's heart. He felt that the original choice was correct.

Zhou Cheng walked up to Pei Xiu, put down the child, and looked at Pei Xiu with bright eyes. He never looked forward to coming back so much. When he came back, he could only see Pei Xiu who frowned, but now he can see the gentle and generous Pei Xiu. ''I am back. ''

'' Didn't it take about half a month to come back before? Why is it so early this time? Is it colder in the mountains? ’’ Pei Xiu was happy that he had come back, but was also puzzled.

''Well, there is frost in the deep mountains, and it should be snowing soon. Besides, I dug out a rabbit den, caught five rabbits, and kept them at home until the spring to see if I can reproduce a few more. '' Zhou Cheng's gentle smile only lasted for a while, and now he has returned to his expressionless cold face.

Pei Xiu didn't mind either. He knew that he had few cold words and would only say that he couldn't do it. Now it's good to be able to respond to you. The original body has been married to him for a few years, and he speaks sparingly when he can. And he has scars on his face, and his expressionless look is really scary.

A frugal life, a cold and seldom-talking husband, made the original body tighten his brows every day, his sad expression, and his thin and pale face, making people even more reluctant to approach him.

Hearing Zhou Cheng say that, Pei Xiu also thought of it. Rabbits reproduce very quickly, they can have a litter in a few months, and their eyes light up in an instant. ' 'Then you can pack them a few cages tomorrow. ''

''Well,'' Zhou Cheng put the prey down first and went to take a shower. Pei Xiu fryed him a few pancakes with rice soup while he was taking a bath.

Zhou Cheng was wearing the cotton-padded coat that Pei Xiu had just made, and felt that his whole body was warm.

A few children went back to the table to eat porridge, and glanced at the pancakes from time to time. The oily look was delicious. Mother is now cooking more and more delicious, so she put a lot of oil. They looked so greedy, and my mother hadn't made pancakes for a long time.

Zhou Cheng looked at the little eyes of the children, took a cake and tore it into four pieces for them. Seeing them happily taking over, I was also happy. During this time, Pei Xiu raised them all very well.

In the past, they were all skinny and skinny, their hair was yellow and malnourished, and their clothes were covered with patches. In winter, he shivered and shrank into a ball, his face was blue with snot hanging from his nose.

Now, seeing several children with ruddy faces and no more runny noses, wearing newly-made cotton-padded clothes, they are full of energy and happy.

He is not a slacker either. He works diligently in the fields, and he doesn't need Pei Xiu to help with the farm work. She only needs to take good care of the family, and he also goes hunting in the mountains from time to time, so life should be easy. In the end, when he got it back, she exchanged it for money. He didn't eat it himself, nor did it for the children. It was useless.

Zhou Cheng thought that after her father died, the whole family lived too hard and poor. After her mother died, it was even more difficult for her, and she was more and more eager to make money. He didn't talk much, and he didn't know how to say it. He could only go with her. She gave birth to her, so he wouldn't starve to death. He would just take him into the mountains when he was older.

Thinking of the past, he also thought that after Pei Xiu was ill, he figured it out and said to her: ''You have raised a few children well, don't think it's expensive, I'll make money, and all I bring back today are Don't sell it, keep it and eat it slowly, it won't go bad when it's cold, I'll deal with the roe deer later, and cut half of it to share with the eldest brother and the second brother. '' He paused, afraid that Pei Xiu would be reluctant to give it away: '' There are still a few chickens, it won't go bad in this weather, and it will last a long time if you eat slowly.

Seeing Pei Xiu getting better, with that gentle and beautiful face, he was willing to talk to her and explain more.

''okay. '' Pei Xiu thinks this is what she should, and she should honor her parents when she has good things, and her in-laws rarely interfere in her family's affairs. She is also very satisfied, although part of it is because of the early childhood of Zhou Ning. The reason for leaving home to become a soldier and not being close to them.

Seeing Pei Xiu being so docile, Zhou Cheng was also very satisfied.

Go and kill the roe deer, cut it in half, take half of it and cut it in half, let Pei Xiu take two baskets and pack them separately, each of which weighs four or five pounds, and let the hammer be delivered to his uncle and second uncle's house. .

Several children flocked to their uncle's house with hammers.

After cleaning up the kitchen, Pei Xiu sat on the steps and dragged her chin to watch Zhou Cheng work. She didn't help, mainly because she didn't know how to. Watching Zhou Cheng handle the prey, skillfully peeling, deboning, and chopping pieces, thinking about this A man is really capable, he can do everything, he can do everything well, and he works hard for this family.

It is said that serious men are the most attractive. She felt that Zhou Cheng was also very attractive at this time, exuding hormones all over his body.

Zhou Cheng felt that Youdao had been staring at him, looked up, and his ears were all red. Pei Xiu, who was white and beautiful, looked at him with straight eyes without blinking, which greatly affected his work and hurt him. A little nervous. He said, ''You go to the kitchen to boil water, and then you'll play slaughter.''

Pei Xiu recently ate well, slept well, and did not go out. Her face was rosy and fair, and she looked several years younger. She was wearing a light green cotton jacket and looked just like the 28-year-old girl. She was much prettier at the time, exuding the charm of a young woman, no wonder Zhou influenced Zhou Cheng's work, and he could only find a way to remove her.

Unexpectedly, Pei Xiu added water, and after lighting the fire, he sat down and watched him work. Zhou Cheng glanced at Pei Xiu helplessly.

Pei Xiu dragged her cheeks with a smile. She felt that the man's expressions were much richer now, and the whole person was lively. It was very funny, so she wanted to tease him.
