Next to the Chen family's shack, a house divided into three rooms already has a rough shape.

The walls made of adobe have been erected, and the positions for installing doors and windows have been left. Purlins have also been erected on the roof, leaving only thatch.

At dusk, I looked over and thought of a monster with gaping teeth and a bald head.

Although it doesn't feel like "home" yet, when Mao'er introduced the progress of the project in the past two days to Chen Chu, the smile on his little face never disappeared.

After dinner, Chen Chu and his family entered the shack.

"Hutou, come here and see if you like this." Chen Chu took out a silver longevity lock.

This is one of the two, the other was given to Zhang Bao's son.

When Hu Tou saw the gleaming lock, he lifted up a low stool with his butt raised, and sat down next to Chen Chu obediently.

That means, put it on me quickly.

Unexpectedly, this long life was taken by the cat, and he had no intention of giving it to her...

"Sister! This is mine..." He reminded me with a pout, holding two small tiger heads on his head.

"Sister, can I still be greedy for yours? I will help you put it away first, and then give it to you when you are older." The cat ignored the pitiful tiger head and put it away.

"You can keep the tiger head by yourself!"

After Hutou said this, he put his hands on his sister's thighs, grunting and begging for her.

The cat, who couldn't even walk, raised his eyebrows and said, "My butt is itchy again? If you keep showing off, you'll be beaten!"

"...Hmph!"

Hutou then let go of his hand, subconsciously wrapped his arms behind his back to protect his butt, and trotted to Chen Chu's side.

These days in the mountains, Hu Tou has become more and more naughty, but every time Mao Er wants to discipline him, this little girl will always hide behind Chen Chu...

In the past two days, Chen Chu went down the mountain and was away from home. Hu first ate his sister and beat her twice.

I still have my sister’s slap marks on my buttocks.

"Brother, look..." After saying that, Hu Tou wanted to show the scars to Chen Chu so that her brother could make the decision for her, but Mao'er stopped her on the spot.

"Mao'er, teach the child not to hit, you need to reason with her. The tiger head is already well-behaved..."

The tiger head on the side nodded in agreement and helped Chen Chu beat his shoulders.

Chen Chu is the head of the family, so whatever he says is what he says.

I don’t know whether Mao’er was too lazy to argue or felt that he shouldn’t refute his own officials, but he kept silent anyway.

Chen Chu then took out the silver hairpin with flower and butterfly patterns and handed it over.

When the cat saw it, his eyes shone brightly. He stared at the hairpin and couldn't look away, but he said insincerely: "What are you spending money for? I don't like my appearance..."

Are there any women in the world who don’t like jewelry?

Chen Chu didn't believe it, so he looked at Mao'er with a wise look and said: "Don't pretend to be sensible at home, just smile when you are happy."

"Hey..."

One sentence broke Mao'er's guard, and after a silly moment of joy, he took the hairpin and looked at it carefully.

The more you look at it, the more beautiful it becomes.

She hid some jewelry, but it was the delicate ones left behind by her mother.

This hairpin is the first piece of jewelry that Mao'er has ever received.

"Do you want me to put it on for you?" Chen Chu suddenly asked.

There are definitely no high-end products like "bronze mirrors" in the shack, so if the cat wears it by itself, it may be worn crookedly.

At the same time, Chen Chu thought that the rearview mirror on the truck in Shanjian could be removed to make a few small mirrors.

Mao'er pursed her lips and said softly: "Let's wait for a while, and the officials will help Dai Dai on the seventh day of the next lunar month..."

"Why is it the seventh day of next month?" Chen Chu asked curiously.

"The seventh day of next month is Mao'er's birthday, and it can be used as a gift for the sixteenth birthday..."

Listening to Mao'er's story, Chen Chu learned that now women can have hairpins at the age of sixteen to show that they are ready to get married.

The haircut ceremony is the most important day in a woman's life besides her wedding.

The 'hairpin' in 'ji hairpin' refers to hairpins and hairpins.

During the ceremony, the woman's family members and relatives must be witnesses. The mother or mother-in-law will personally dismantle the "double ya bun" or "double snail bun" representing the girl, and then put the hairpin into the hair...

This hairpin is a very appropriate and timely gift.

When Mao'er first went up the mountain, in order to conform to her identity as 'Ms. Chen Chu', Mao'er had her hair tied up in a bun, but she never tied it up and tied it up with a cloth.

The upcoming haircut is also a hurdle for Maoer.

After all, she and her mother and family members needed to witness her, and now none of them are gone.

So Chen Chu picked up some things about going down the mountain and talked about them. Of course, he only talked about the interesting and talkable things.

Mao'er was very smart and immediately understood Chen Chu's painstaking efforts, so she whispered softly: "No need to go out of your way to make me happy, my mother. My mother had a hard life in the past. If it weren't for us sisters, she might not have wanted to stay in this world and suffer.

It's a pity that she didn't see... She didn't see that the official became her son-in-law."

At this point, Mao'er suppressed the loneliness in Xing's eyes and squeezed out a smile: "Does the official know that when I rescued you from the mountain, my mother said that you were beautiful when she saw you? If she knew that we are now...

.....My mother will definitely be happy.”

I felt pity for the cat's forced smile, so Chen Chu said seriously: "Would you like a hug..."

"..."

Where is this? Why are you about to hug me just as you are talking?

The cat tilted its head, the tips of its ears were red.

Forget it if you don’t hug me, the officers and men call each other affectionate, but they haven’t even touched their hands properly...

Chen Chu sighed and continued to tease the tiger.

After a while, the cat's face returned to calmness, and then he turned his head again.

"Hutou, go to Aunt Yao's house and borrow a handful of coriander." Mao'er tucks a lock of black hair behind her ear and suddenly said.

"Sister, we've finished dinner, why are we borrowing coriander? Hu Tou doesn't like coriander..." Hu Tou raised an objection.

"If I tell you to go, go and hurry up." Mao'er ordered, with a dignified look on his face.

"Oh~" Hu Tou walked out of the shack reluctantly.

Chen Chu was also a little strange and didn't understand why Mao Duan Duan asked Hu Tou to borrow coriander.

Under the candlelight, I saw Mao'er taking two deep breaths. His small chest was neither powerful enough nor capable of making waves.

From now on, I can only work harder on Nanny Chen Barbecue, so that the cat can eat more dairy products, and maybe it can be rescued.

Of course, Chen Chu did this not for himself, but for the sake of his children’s future jobs!

After thinking wildly for a while, Chen Chu came to his senses and saw the cat standing in front of him with his little head lowered.

"What's wrong?" Chen Chu looked confused.

Mao'er heard the words and raised her head a little, only to see her brows furrowed into a cute frown, her thin lips pursed tightly, and she actually looked angry.

"What happened?" Chen Chu was even more confused.

"You..." Mao'er, who had gathered a lot of courage to come over, said angrily because of shame: "The official said he wanted to hug him, but now he refuses to admit it! If he doesn't hug him, he will fall..."

"Hey! Don't go, give me a hug...can't you give me a hug?"

"The cat didn't ask for a hug from the officials. It was obviously you who said so, but now you are impatient."

"When did I become impatient? Stop trying, the tiger head will be back soon!"

No wonder Mao'er suddenly sent Hu Tou to borrow coriander, and Chen Chu was troubled by his hindsight.

The cat struggled a few times symbolically, then let Chen Chu hold it in his arms.

With her hot cheek pressed against Chen Chu's chest, it seemed that she could hear the latter's heartbeat.

Because of Chen Chu, Mao'er didn't use plant ash or rice water to wash her hair like other women, but used the shampoo and soap that Chen Chu brought.

Therefore, Chen Chu couldn't help but take a deep, greedy breath with her unique modern aura.

The nervous cat also had shortness of breath...but...

Eh! No, this smell is wrong. It smells like powder!

Mao'er raised his head warily, wrinkled his little nose, and tried to put on a fierce look: "Why do you smell like powder on your body! To be honest, you were dishonest in the county last night!"

...Phew, classmate Maoer, you finally asked!

Chen Chu has been waiting for the cat to say this since he came home. What he is most worried about is the cat smelling the smell but not making a sound.

In that case, if he takes the initiative to explain, it will appear that he has no money.

If you don't tell Mao'er and keep it in your heart, Chen Chu will suffer injustice!
