"So hot."
It was another day when she was woken up by the heat. Niu Caohua stretched out her hand and pulled off the thin quilt on her belly. When she touched her back, she was indeed covered in sweat again.
It's already October, the weather is still as hot as summer, and I don't know where autumn is.
On the bed, Niu Xiaobai was no longer there. It seemed that he had gone to the mountains to find Yin and the others early in the morning.
The sun shines in through the window, and dust can be clearly seen flying in the air.
Outside, Niu Xiaodi had prepared the mule cart and was sitting on the mule cart, his feet hanging on the edge of the cart, swaying slightly, holding a book in one hand and a cattail leaf fan in the other. wind.
The weather is hot, but the cicadas outside are still roaring heart-rendingly, making people feel irritable.
Niu Caohua was brushing her teeth when she suddenly realized something was wrong. Even if her father wasn't at home, why wasn't her mother at home?
You know, A Niang rarely goes out on weekdays, except when she is at home.
As soon as this was mentioned, Niu Xiaodi quickly got off the mule cart and recounted what happened in the morning.
In the morning, Xiao Cui'er got up and cooked as usual. She ate too many gnocchi a few days ago. It just so happened that her daughter was at home today, so she cooked some porridge, boiled some eggs, and fried two side dishes.
After opening the egg basket, I saw four little bird eggs that were out of place inside.
Xiao Cuier still knows eggs and bird eggs.
These four eggs were not enough for one bite, so Xiao Cui'er didn't care and washed them directly, washed four more eggs, and threw them into the porridge to cook together.
While cooking, I suddenly felt something was wrong in the porridge. When I looked up, my eyeballs almost bulged out. I saw a cracked bird egg inside, and something was shaking inside.
Xiao Cuier was so frightened that she directly pulled the cow belly in.
Niu Dadu was also startled, but he reacted immediately and fished out all the eggs and bird eggs in the porridge.
After the bird egg was taken out, the crack became wider and wider, and after a while, a small bird as big as a fingernail came out.
His whole body was wet, there was not a hair on his body, and his eyes were not open.
Except for this, the other three eggs were silent.
Niu Dadu picked up the other three eggs, held them in front of his eyes, and looked at the sun.
Fortunately, those three are still eggs and have no intention of hatching into birds.
But looking at the little bird in Xiao Cuier's hand, she was in trouble again.
How do you feed such a big bird?
This bird is different from a chick. A chick hatched at home is covered with down as soon as it is born. It can stand on its own, walk on its own, and eat on its own.
But this bird is so fragile that it seems to die at the slightest touch, and it needs to be fed hand-to-hand at first glance.
And it was fished out of porridge.
Over there, Xiao Cui'er has already started to fish out the porridge, preparing to cool it down and feed it to the birds.
I didn't feed him for a long time, and I was sweating from exhaustion.
I won’t eat porridge or millet.
Niu Dadu thought that some birds eat meat and insects, so he grabbed a cabbage worm from the vegetable patch at the door and pinched it to feed the birds.
Unexpectedly, the little bird couldn't wait to open its small yellow mouth and swallowed the insect.
After eating, I still feel unsatisfied. I still want to eat with my mouth open.
A cabbage worm is not that big. The vegetable patch at home is dewormed every day, so there are not many worms.
Niu Dadu thought, and took Xiao Cuier out to catch insects.
I brought the bird with me too, it's not safe to leave it at home.
After listening to what Niu Xiaodi said, Niu Caohua almost choked on the foam.
Those eggs actually hatched into little birds, although only one.
But these are bird eggs from deep in the mountains. They were hatched in hot water, so they are certainly unusual.
Originally, I was thinking about making potions to get rid of insects, but now it seems that I have to forget it.
If this bird is fed, the few bugs in the vegetable field will not be enough to eat.
Isn't it just catching bugs? It's trivial.
I stopped eating the porridge. The thought of a little bird hatching inside made the bowl of porridge a bit difficult to eat.
After eating an egg, Niu Caohua took Niu Xiaodi out to the county seat.
I went to buy medicinal materials first and visited all the pharmacies in the county before gathering the necessary medicinal materials.
After buying the medicinal materials, it is a red cloth.
Pulled off a few pieces of red burlap.
It is cheap, strong and wear-resistant, and is suitable for big black cattle.
Just when Niu Caohua finished shopping and was about to go home, she suddenly saw a familiar person.
She was the mute woman with a baby whom she had rescued on the road before.
At that time, they left the mother and daughter in the drug store, threw away two pieces of silver, and left them alone. I don't know what happened next.
Occasionally when I come to the city, I will think of that woman and her child when I see that pharmacy.
But now that I saw that woman, she had changed so much that if it weren't for Niu Caohua's good eyesight, I wouldn't have recognized her for a while.
The previous woman was skinny and had extremely big eyes. She looked to be in her thirties or forties.
But now, this woman is dressed brightly, wearing a light-colored skirt, a gold hairpin in her hair, decent makeup, and is followed by a maid.
She looks young and beautiful, looking about eighteen or nineteen years old.
You can't see how depressed he was before.
The woman came out of a rouge shop with her maid. The maid was carrying something in her hands. They got into a carriage and left here quickly.
Niu Caohua is really curious about what happened. In just over a month, there have been so many changes.
But you can’t just stop the car and ask, right?
After thinking about it, he asked Niu Xiaodi to wait outside for a while and then entered the rouge shop where the woman just came out.
As soon as you enter the door, you can smell the strong fragrance.
This rouge shop is the largest rouge shop in She County, and it is also a time-honored brand. I heard it has been open for more than ten years.
As soon as she entered, a waiter came to greet her enthusiastically. The waiter carefully introduced what Niu Caohua was holding.
The service is very attentive.
Not only can you watch it, but you can also try it out.
Niu Caohua thought about the purpose of coming in, so she bought two boxes of rouge. At the same time, she casually asked the waiter about the identity of the woman just now.
"That lady just now, she is a newcomer accepted by Young Master Wang. I heard that Young Master Wang had a falling out with his family in order to accept her, and he has not returned home yet." This matter is not a secret, the boy said in a low voice. .
Marrying is a wife, taking a wife is a concubine.
This woman actually became a concubine.
The Wang family is a large family in She County. Although they are not a clan, they are very wealthy and some of them are officials in the capital.
This young prince was young and had not been married for a long time. He actually fell out with his family over a mute woman with children.
This, this, this...
