Sixty-Three Apricot Flowers

Xinghuaniang is a very gentle woman, and she is also very diligent. She is not idle while lying on the bed. She takes the soles of her shoes stitch by stitch, and the stitches are flat and dense.

Ma Xinghua took Shen Jiao to sit outside, her mother's room was too hot, even she couldn't stand it, Shen Jiao's delicate temperament definitely couldn't stand it.

Shen Jiao looked back several times, she was hesitant to say anything, and she didn't know whether to say it or not. She was afraid that the Ma family wouldn't believe it.

After thinking about it for a long time, Shen Jiao gritted her teeth and whispered a few times in Ma Xinghua's ear. Ma Xinghua was surprised, "Is it true? My mother said that my mother is suffering from confinement and cannot see the wind."

Shen Jiao secretly slandered, your mother is not a doctor, what do you know?

"Of course it's true. My family owns a pharmacy. Do you think I can lie to you? Besides, don't think about it. The smell in the house is so strong that a good person can get sick. Your mother's health is not good. Is it okay to smoke like this all day?"

Shen Jiao said something serious, and Ma Xinghua couldn't help but believe it. The most important thing was that she really felt that the smell of her mother's room was too heavy. If it wasn't for her mother lying in the room, she really didn't want to go in.

"Then I'll try it first, don't let my grandma know, or she'll have to talk about it again."

Ma Xinghua was also very courageous, and quietly slipped back into the back room, opened the window halfway, and the cold wind from the outside blew in, forming a convection with the door.

Xing Hua Niang wanted to say that the girl was messing around, but she obviously felt that the stagnation in her chest had dissipated a lot, and her body had loosened a little. It was not like before that she always felt that there was a stone pressing against her and she couldn't breathe. Therefore, Xing Hua Hua Niang did not stop her daughter.

"Mom, do you feel more comfortable?" Ma Xinghua asked with concern.

Xinghuaniang nodded: "Well, I feel better, my daughter is really smart."

Ma Xinghua giggled and said, "How can your daughter have this ability? Jiaojiao taught me. Her family owns a pharmacy, and her grandfather is still a doctor!"

Xinghuaniang suddenly became awe-inspiring, and urged Ma Xinghua to greet Shen Jiao, not to be slow.

"Take out the dried sweet potatoes for Jiaojiao to eat!" Xinghuaniang instructed her daughter.

"Know!"

Ma Xinghua let Shen Jiao on the kang, took out a package of dried sweet potatoes from the cabinet along the edge of the kang, unwrapped it and let her eat: "Hurry up, the dried sweet potatoes from my milk are delicious, but unfortunately there is no oil. Otherwise, deep-frying is more fragrant."

Shen Jiao took a piece and stuffed it into her mouth. It was as sweet as brown candy. It was really delicious. She didn't eat too much. !

"Sister Xinghua, this is for you. What about Brother Hongqi and Orchid? I brought them too." Shen Jiao took out the still warm pie from her arms and handed it over with a smile.

"They went up the mountain to collect firewood, what is this? Ouch, pie? Or stuffed with meat? Jiaojiao, did you kill that female rabbit?"

Ma Xinghua was taken aback by the pie in the veil, and she asked a series of questions one after another, making Shen Jiao laugh and laugh.

"My rabbit will be born in a few days. How can I eat it? It's pork, eat it while it's hot."

Ma Xinghua did not eat these two cakes, but put them in the cupboard: "Wait for lunch."

Shen Jiao stopped her, took out a piece of meat weighing about three or four kilograms from the basket on the ground, and shook it in front of her: "I have this for lunch!"

Ma Xinghua's eyes were wide and her mouth was wide open. She didn't react for a while, Shen Jiao giggled when she saw it, and the meat strips also trembled along with her, making Ma Xinghua's eyes dizzy.

She has never seen so much meat since she was born!

This meat looks so handsome!

"Stop laughing, dead girl, be honest, where did you get so much meat? You won't go to the market again, will you?" Ma Xinghua roared in a low voice.

Shen Jiao shoved the meat into her hands,

Let her put it away quickly, Ma Xinghua is determined not to accept it, and she has to explain it clearly.

Shen Jiao sighed: "I didn't go to the fair, my grandfather's salary is only so little, and I don't even have enough food to buy, how can I buy meat?"

"Then where did your meat come from? It didn't fall from the sky, did it?" Ma Xinghua rolled her eyes angrily.

Shen Jiao chuckled: "Sister Xinghua, you are right, it really fell from the sky!"

Ma Xinghua was scratching her ears and cheeks anxiously, being careful that her liver was tickled by Shen Jiao, and urged her to tell her the origin of the meat.

Shen Jiao recounted what Wu Boda and the others taught her in the morning, which meant that when they went to play in the mountains on their rest day, they accidentally entered the restricted area, and they encountered a group of wolves fighting with a big wild boar. After the wild boar lost, the wild wolf also suffered. Because of the serious injury, her fourth uncle cut off a pig's leg while the wolf was not paying attention.

Most of these words are true, but Shen Jiao concealed that they were taking the initiative to go hunting in the mountains and that she herself was fighting with wild wolves. The truth was mixed, the truth was false, and the Ma family couldn't believe it.

Ma Xinghua couldn't help chanting Buddha, and she seemed to think of something and asked, "You weren't there at that time, were you?"

Shen Jiao nodded: "Yes, my grandfather and four uncles are all hiding in the trees to watch the wolf and the wild boar fight. Sister Xinghua, you don't know, the wild boar is very powerful and hurts a lot of wolves. If there is only one wild boar, A wild wolf can't beat a wild boar."

Ma Xinghua recited a few more words of Buddha, then stretched out her hand to focus on her a few times, and scolded: "Why did I tell you before? I told you not to go to the restricted area, you will ignore it, this time is good luck, next time Do you think you have such good luck? With your small body, you can be sure that the wolf will gnaw without leaving any bones."

Although Shen Jiao was scolded, she felt warm in her heart and giggled, "It's okay, my fourth uncle is so powerful that even the alpha wolf doesn't dare to fight him!"

Ma Xinghua thought about it too. With such a powerful uncle guarding it, there should be no accident, but she still instructed: "Then you can't go alone. There are not only wolves in the restricted area, but also bears and leopards!"

"I know, Sister Xinghua, you are so long-winded, you better put away this meat quickly, my hands are sore."

Ma Xinghua rolled her eyes at her and weighed the pork from her hand. It was heavy, more than three kilograms.

Shen Jiao pouted and said, "I don't cut it. When I came here just now, Zhu Shitou and his milk have been following me. If I cut half of it back, the old woman will definitely find out."

Ma Xinghua didn't insist any longer, put away the meat, and said, "Then don't cut so much next time."

As soon as the words came out, she felt that this was not right. Wasn't she rushing to ask for something from someone? She slapped herself and explained, "I mean you don't want to be too serious about sending things in the future. What are you trying to say..."

The more Ma Xinghua spoke, the more confused she became, and she hated to slap her in the mouth twice, with a crisp sound, Shen Jiao felt pain when she saw it, and giggled: "You know, you think I'm stupid, it's also Sister Xinghua. I'll give it to you here, and I can't be bothered to care about the others."

After she finished speaking, she sighed again and said regretfully: "Sister Xinghua, you don't know, that wild boar weighs at least 300 jins, but unfortunately my fourth uncle is only willing to cut off one leg. If the whole pig can be carried back, we will I can eat meat every day.”

Ma Xinghua slapped her on the head angrily: "If you don't have enough greed, if you really carry the whole pig back, our entire farm will have to let wild wolves be eaten as meat!"
