The peasant girl is not strong

Chapter 240 Digging a Hole for Grandma

A few days later, today was Ye Shiqi's two-year-old birthday, and she received blessings from her sisters as soon as she woke up.

For breakfast, I also had red eggs.

The birthday of the girl in the peasant family is not a big deal. Simple red eggs and longevity noodles are still available. This also requires the family to remember her birthday.

Mrs. Li will give a red envelope to her daughter when she wakes up in the morning, and go to the ancestors to offer incense, snacks and fruits.

As a father, Hongji also prepared a red envelope, which he planned to give to his daughter after breakfast and before going to work.

Ye Shiqi is still wearing a pink skirt specially given to her by the maid today, with tulle on the outside and cotton fabric on the inside. The skirt is made in a simple style, and it is comfortable to wear in summer.

The shoes are not sewn by the family, but embroidered cotton shoes bought in a shop outside. People in their farmer's family can make shoes, but they can't make these exquisite embroidered shoes.

The decoration on the head of her small face is not too prosperous, and it is simply tied up with an embroidery ribbon. Her black hair is constantly black, and it has grown quite long. If it is not tied up, it has reached her waist.

I often curl this long hair into a small ball and fix it with hair bands and hairpins, which is simple and not hot.

It's not that Ye Shiqi doesn't have those hair accessories, she doesn't want to be so burdened, and hides all the items she receives in the space.

The things she received were not only from her parents, but also Tang Shunyan's custom-made gifts for her in the past two years. These items looked quite expensive, and it was inconvenient to wear them on her child's head.

One of the reasons for this is that it is inconvenient to publicize, and the other is that if you have good items, you can’t show them to grandma or relatives, and you will definitely miss them.

On the Ye family's breakfast table, Ye Shiqi's breakfast is special compared to others in that she has a bowl of noodles with eggs on top.

It's not that their family can't afford noodles or eggs. Today's egg noodles are specially made for Ye Shiqi.

Ye Shiqi is also used to a cup of goat's milk every day, and her sisters are the same. This cup of goat's milk was delivered from the manor in the morning and heated to remove the smell.

In the past, the parents raised a few sheep so that their sisters could drink goat milk.

Hongji's father took a few sips of bamboo cigarettes, and then ate buns and porridge at the dinner table without saying a word.

There are several kinds of breakfast on the dining table of their Ye family for them to choose. These are the breakfasts cooked by the workers knowing the master's preferences. When the master's family is full, the rest is their breakfast.

"You guys are really serious. A girl is still making longevity noodles and boiled eggs for her with great fanfare. Don't you know that girls should be raised cheaply?"

Every time Lai Shihe had a meal or breakfast, he would make some remarks that people didn't like to hear.

Hongji looked up at his mother, touched his brow lightly, and pressed the center of his brow lightly with one hand. He was a little irritable. Every time his mother made a speech, if he refuted it, it would cause his mother to say that he was not filial.

But he doesn't want his mother to say some bad words, which will make his wife and daughter feel that he is too useless. If there is no reaction at all, the mother will make an inch of it.

"Mother is right. Girls should be raised cheaply, so I didn't celebrate my daughter's birthday like rich people do. Mother, you will give Wuba a red envelope?"

After Hongji finished speaking, he smiled and said to Ye Shiqi: "You still haven't thanked your grandmother? Your grandmother hasn't given you any red envelopes yet!"

"puff……"

I don't know who laughed first, and then everyone lowered their heads to eat breakfast, so that Lai couldn't find out.

"Father is right, the granddaughter will thank the grandmother for giving her the big red envelope."

Ye Shiqi smiled. This is how she put down the bowl in her hand and opened her hand to ask her grandmother to hand out a red envelope.

Lai's nagging has become a habit. I don't know if she doesn't like the daughters born to her son, or she has opinions on these girls. There are always things that don't please her every day, and she will nag at the dinner table or when meeting .

The son and the daughter-in-law gave their daughter a bowl of egg noodles, which was just prepared by ordinary people for their children, so she shouldn't have said it.

Lai couldn't help but say that one of the reasons was the son's attention to his daughters, especially the youngest girl, she felt jealous as a mother.

It made her unable to look like a kind grandma. They had to pick stones from eggs in everything they did. In the final analysis, they were just jealous.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she said it, the son and daughter-in-law didn't do anything else, and the granddaughters didn't react. The son turned around and asked her to give out red envelopes. Isn't it killing her?

Lai Shi didn't expect that he didn't embarrass others, but also let himself into embarrassment.

She covered her pocket tightly, opened her mouth and paused for a long time, and then said a reason from her mouth: "Grandma ran out of red envelopes, and I will give you red envelopes during the Chinese New Year!"

Ye Shiqi smiled and said: "Grandmother, granddaughter doesn't mind not having a red envelope, as long as there is a purse bag, if grandma doesn't have one, I can ask you to embroider a purse bag on the spot, and I can't make grandma you can't give out red envelopes, right?"

"Hee hee hee."

Ye Shiqi's words made her sisters finally lower their heads and laugh out loud.

Those who didn't laugh, lowered their heads little by little, like twitching. They couldn't help their voices, but they couldn't help their body movements.

"What are you laughing at?" Lai's answer to the question was no, and if he didn't answer it, he could only vent his anger on other granddaughters.

"You don't have to worry about eating breakfast, what's wrong with giving a red envelope as an elder?" While talking about his wife, Hongji's father glared at his son, and then at Li Shi.

He felt that while his son was digging holes for his wife, he was actually saving his face.

"Aren't I not ready yet? I said there are no red envelopes."

Lai was scolded by her husband, she said something in a low voice, but she didn't dare to say that she would not give the red envelope, feeling that money might flow out of her hand, she felt so distressed!

When she thought so, she glared at Mrs. Li again. The meaning of this look was to blame her for giving birth to so many girls, otherwise there would be no such thing as giving red envelopes today.

Inexplicably, Mrs. Li got supercilious eyes again, lowered her head helplessly and endured it, and concentrated on feeding her son supplementary food.

Ye Shiqi just laughed and said that she didn't expect this grandma to give her a red envelope generously. From birth to two years old, she has never received a red envelope from her grandma, no matter it is Chinese New Year or birthday.

It's just that I don't know if other children will be born. She is a soul that travels through time. From birth to the present, all the big and small things are remembered in her mind.

The grandmother didn't receive the red envelope, but the grandfather still received the red envelope, that is, only once a year ago, and on the first day of this year, the five sisters all received the red envelope from their grandfather.

The sisters counted curiously, and everyone received the same red envelope, five copper coins.

It can't be said that the grandfather is very picky, but two copper coins in the red envelope of other people's children are not bad.

At the end of the debate during breakfast, Ye Shiqi didn't hold on to this issue, and the family members stopped nagging when they saw Lai Shi, even if she didn't give the red envelope, they didn't grab her with the whip.

After finishing his breakfast, Hongji drank a cup of tea and gave his daughter a small purse, which contained gold particles instead of copper plates.

A little girl who is only two years old, the family is rich and will not give gold, but this little girl in his family is different, she will not spend money recklessly, and at the same time she will give ideas to the family to make a fortune.

Hongji dotes on this daughter the most, the little padded jacket is already two years old, and he has a son by his side, so he doesn't have any less paternal love for the little padded jacket.

There is a reason for this, that is, he has the experience of being a father and a mother, and he has no other daughters, and he pays more attention to and has more affection for this daughter.

"Thank you, Daddy, hehe." Ye Shiqi looked happy when she received the red envelope.

Li's mother smiled lovingly, seeing her sister laughing, her mother smiling, and the baby boy in her arms also laughing.

There is no jealousy in the eyes of the other four sisters. The father treats the youngest sister the best, and they also know that the little sister has given a lot. As the older sisters, while they love the younger sister, they know too much about the little sister's ability around them. .

The father also gave them red envelopes on their birthdays. It can only be said that the family has become richer in the past two years, and the father will give them red envelopes when he has more money.

Seeing his son giving a red envelope to his little granddaughter with his own eyes, Mrs. Lai covered his pocket tightly while staring at the red envelope in his little granddaughter's hand.

The shape of the red envelope doesn't look like a copper plate!But she didn't dare to speak again. With the experience of the morning, she was afraid that if she spoke, she would provoke her to say that she would lose money.

He lowered his head and pretended to have something to do, and left the living room.

Lai, who left the living room, did not see that her husband also gave her granddaughter a red envelope, and the money was the old man's private money.

"Grow up fast."

Hongji's father gave this purse bag, which was not embroidered for him by his old wife, but specially embroidered for him by a maid.

The young maid is not very good at embroidery, but she can barely give it away.

"Thank you grandfather!"

Ye Shiqi accepted the red envelope with a smile. I heard that his sisters never received red envelopes from their grandfather on their birthdays.

It was also the first time she received it, and her grandfather became more generous, which means that his private money was more abundant.

Everyone in the family knows how tightly Mrs. Lai is keeping the money, and if it is in her pocket, it is impossible to take it out.

Ye Shiqi's birthday is today, and she can't forget to study. Today is the date when Mr. Mo and his wife come to teach musical instruments.

When Mr. Mo and his wife arrived, they were escorted by the usual guards and housekeeper Tang Shao.

Butler Tang did not appear on his behalf, he was holding a box in his hand.

With the appearance of this group of people, Ye Jiang went to the factory at the entrance of the village with his father, except Hongji who was going to work in the factory.

Mrs. Li was at home with her baby, the five sisters were at home, the workers were all at home, and Mrs. Lai was watching when the guests came.

Lai's eyes were sharp, and after glancing at everyone who came in, her eyes had already fixed on the box in Tang Shao's hand.

"Master Tang, the box in your hand is for our family, right? I'll put it away for you."

Butler Tang Shao shook his head, dodged Lai Shi who wanted to grab the box, and said:

"Ma'am, this thing doesn't belong to me, nor is it for you. It's a gift from my young master to Miss Ye."

"Give it to my granddaughter? I'll keep it for her! She's young and ignorant, so she dropped the thing, and if she disappears, I'll lose Young Master Tang's heart."

After Lai said this reason, he wanted to grab it again. At this time, everyone was watching their conversation, and everyone knew what Lai said. This so-called custody means taking things.

Whether it is Mr. Mo and his wife who came here to teach for a month or two, or the workers of the Ye family, they can already fully understand this family and Lai's character. In the past, there were two daughters who helped to do such things.

At this moment, she was fighting alone, and it didn't affect her desire to snatch other people's things. In the name of her grandmother, she used such a reason to confiscate her granddaughter's gift. Tang Young Butler didn't hear such words once or twice. Failed to fulfill Lai's wish.

"Ma'am, it's not right for you to do this. We won't be able to pay the job when we go back. The items we send must be delivered to the owner. I'm sorry!"

Butler Tang had learned martial arts and was tall. He raised his hand. Lai didn't dare to touch the young man's body, and he couldn't get anything, so he could only be anxious.

In the end, he could only watch helplessly as the item arrived in Ye Shiqi's hands, and saw her hugging the box, her fat legs running to grab it, but unexpectedly, the little granddaughter ran so fast that she ran to the room and locked the door.

Feeling helpless in front of the guest, he thought about searching the granddaughter's room after the guest left.

Mrs. Lai has moved this idea countless times, and every time her granddaughter receives a gift, she does it.

It's a pity that I couldn't find anything every time, so I wondered if there was a hole in the little girl's room.

In the small house in the past, the father and daughter could hide things, but now this big house can hide things even more.

Mrs. Lai suspected that there was a burrow, but he never knew that there really was a burrow. The reason why he didn't know about the burrow was that it was for Hongji's convenience for his daughter to hide things, and it was also to provide insurance for the family.

Their family has become rich, but it is not like the house in the past. Many bandits went to some rich villages to rob them under the banner of robbing the rich and helping the poor, and even went to some rich people to rob them.

The government couldn't guard against such a thing, and went to encircle and suppress the bandits. When they encircled and suppressed the bandits, the bandits all ran away.

Tang Young Butler later explained to Ye Shiqi why Tang Shunyan gave the gift.

In fact, Tang Shunyan also wanted to deliver the gift himself, but he didn't expect that his family would not allow him to go out at that time when the Xinghe Academy was in class today.

It can also be said that those who were able to give gifts in advance a few days ago failed to deliver gifts in person as they wished. The housekeeper Tang Shao did not say the reason for this.

He didn't tell Ye Shiqi or the Ye family, of course he knew that every time the young master went out, he would meet the lady of the Meng family.

Being pestered by the young lady of the Meng family, you can actually bring the young lady of the Meng family to give gifts to the Ye family. The young master didn’t do this. good attitude.

Ye Shiqi heard Young Steward Tang's explanation, and said to him respectfully: "Thank you Young Master Tang for the gift. Uncle Tang would like to thank him on his behalf. I really like the gift he gave. Thank you for his gift."

"Hehe, our young master spent all his private money."

The young butler was right, the gift ordered by the young master was relatively expensive, even the young master of the Tang family had to give the principal, using up some of the young master's private money.

When Ye Shiqi heard this, she didn't return those jewelry, it was a little boy's kindness towards her.

The gifts she gave were a bit expensive, maybe she shouldn't talk about these expensive gifts as a little girl.
