Chapter 2337 Special Extra: Snow in Water Country
Water Country, North Point County, Naxi Town.
This is a winter morning, the north wind is howling, the drizzle is dragging the thin silver threads in the cry of the north wind, and the snowflakes are falling in the drizzle. The hut is covered with a white veil, and the mountains and rivers are covered with a white wedding dress, as if a budding girl is welcoming her beloved.
The morning market in Naxi Town always starts before dawn. The freezing cold weather can’t stop everyone from rushing around. This is the only time in the week when you can buy food and daily necessities. I missed today. In the morning, it’s time to wait until next week.
Melissa got up very early. She was wearing non-slip deerskin boots, a thick floral cotton skirt and a bloated warm robe that could not hide her beauty. She was holding a big bamboo basket and carrying a cloth bag on her waist. There were still a lot of vegetables stored for the winter at home, and she only needed to buy some fresh ingredients and daily necessities.
"Melissa, are you here so early?" The vendor in the morning market greeted her with a smile. There were only a few thousand people in the town. Everyone looked up and looked down, and almost everyone knew each other.
"Well, I ran out of low-gluten flour at home, and I want to make some pastries for lunch. Oh, is there any seller selling butter today?" Melissa fiddled with the messed up hair on her temples and raised her hands. The hawker's eyes widened when he saw it.
He said with a smile: "Don't tell me, there really is. There is a man in brown and blue cloth selling shell butter over there. You go quickly, that thing is pretty tight. If you go there a little late, it will be gone. No more.”
“Yeah,” Melissa responded repeatedly, walking quickly through the snow.
The hawker watched her leave, then shook his head and praised: "It would be great if she were my wife. Alas~!"
After buying butter, flour, and some fresh fruits, Melissa was satisfied with carrying these heavy things, but she was reluctant to leave the morning market that only happened once a week. She was thinking about buying something else. That's good, but the things in my hands are really heavy.
"Melissa, are you rushing to the morning market?"
A familiar voice sounded from the front, it was Aunt Mam, the neighbor. She was wearing a gray-red plaid cotton skirt and a bandage on her head. A white servant came towards me, followed by a sturdy snow dog pulling a cart.
Melissa walked over happily and asked, "Mum, can I borrow your car? I bought a lot of flour and it's a little heavy."
< br>"Oh, of course, my dear Melissa, every time you give me my favorite apple pie, it's time for me to give you something in return." Mam took the initiative to take the things she carried and put them in the car. Then asked: "What else do you want to buy? I will accompany you."
Melissa looked at the sky and said, "It's almost dawn. Don't you want to go to the mayor's house to work soon?"
"Oh no, the mayor took his wife and children to visit relatives in Fort Merlot. I don’t have to do any work recently. Oh, it’s not like I don’t have to do anything. I still have to take care of the pets and the animals in the feeding troughs. Yes, but other servants do these things. I only need to clean the house every three days." Mam looked at Melissa, then at her fat and swollen waist and big butt, and said with envy: "Melissa. , you are so beautiful. You wear similar clothes to me, but I can't look as good as you. Those men look at me like you are. A big snoring sow, their eyes are shining when they look at you.”
Melissa laughed and said, “Mum, you look good in your clothes, you just need to lose some weight.” Just lose some weight."
"Really?" Mam looked at her figure again: "Me too. I feel that when I lose weight, I will still be very beautiful. Then many men will fall in love with me. Oops, I want to make myself a slimmer dress right away. How about Melissa, let’s go over there. Go check out the tailor shop?”
“The tailor hasn’t opened the shop yet,” Melissa said.
"Oh, yes, look at me, I'm so impatient." Mam smiled: "But Melissa, the rose gold dress you wore at the wedding ceremony was so beautiful and charming. I will always remember you wearing that dress. The clothes stand beautiful under the skylight of Dongyuan Church The blurry light and shadow and the painted silhouette on the window hit you... Oh, my God, my heart is about to melt." She held her face in admiration: "If you can, I mean if. If possible, when one day I lose weight, can you Can you lend me that dress, even for one day?”
Melissa pursed her lips and said with a smile: “Well, I’ll find a good painter after you put it on. Draw your most beautiful look and let others see it "That's great, Melissa, you are so kind."
Melissa suddenly felt a stomachache while walking: "Ouch"
“What’s wrong?”
Melissa smiled bitterly and said: "The baby kicked me."
Mum looked at her belly with envy and blessing: "When she is born, she will be a very healthy and smart baby, just like you. Beautiful, full of responsibility and courage like the father of the child."
"I haven't received a letter from him for a while. I don't know if he can come back before the birth." Melissa said sadly. scene.
Mam comforted: "Your husband will come back safely, and of course he will bring heavy gold coins, so that you mother and son can have a happy and comfortable winter."
Melissa exposed smile.
After buying some winter bamboo shoots, charcoal and fabric, Melissa said she wanted to make two more clothes for her unborn child. In the morning, the rain and snow suddenly stopped, and the sky suddenly cleared up. Melissa packed up the charcoal in the house, made the fire in the stove strong and warm, and played with the flowers and plants she usually planted.
Mam stood on the window sill and outside the fence in front of the door, watching her play with it, and asked: "Melissa, last time I said I would introduce you to the mayor's house to plant flowers, but you refused. The craftsman is not as good as you. Last time I planted four More than a dozen Pedon grasses turned out to be dead. It’s amazing that the ones you planted grew so beautifully.”
Melissa took good care of the potted plants and said, “You can tell the gardener. Pedon grass watering in winter and summer Depending on the weather, you need to pour 175 ml of water every day. If it is less, it will not survive. Also, if you plant this red red flower in a pot, you need to loosen the soil frequently. It is best to find some silky green earthworms that can withstand winter and put them in the pot. inside, and another sea blue planted in the water tank. Narcissus will bloom in spring, but you need to provide enough nutrients in winter, otherwise the flowers will not bloom..." She talked about how to grow each flower, and tried it herself, applying all the knowledge she knew. Once you say it, don't hold anything back.
Mum shook her head after hearing this: "I can't remember even though you said so much. How about you write it on paper and I'll give it to the gardener."
"Okay. ”
"Hehe, you're so good Melissa."
Melissa put it away and said: "Today at noon I plan to make a pot of winter bamboo shoots and chicken soup. I will definitely not be able to finish it by myself. Mom, do you want to come to my house? "Lunch?"
"Okay, but I have a big appetite. I'm afraid a pot of chicken soup won't be enough for me." She touched her belly and giggled.
Melissa was surprised: "Mam, don't you want to lose weight?"
Mam said seriously: "How can you have the strength to lose weight if you don't eat enough?" After that, the two of them said They looked at each other blankly, and then they both laughed.
