Farmhouse vicious stepmother, she is super fierce

Chapter 263 Feeling Good About Yourself
Without waiting for Mu Tianze after speaking, he walked down the mountain.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, they saw Mu Yue leading Mu Tianrun, accompanied by Da Zhuang, waiting for them at the mountain pass.

Seeing them going down the mountain, they rushed forward.

Looking left and right, seeing Mu Tianze's expression became much calmer, he immediately felt relieved.

Mu Tianrun didn't quite understand, he only knew that the elder brother went too far, leaving him and his sister, and went up the mountain with his mother to play alone.

Seeing Mu Tianze, he turned his face away angrily, and muttered, "Brother is bad, brother actually went to the mountains with mother to play alone, without bringing Arun!"

Mu Tianze picked up Mu Tianrun in a funny way, turned around a few times, Mu Tianrun giggled and forgot everything.

They were laughing at the front, while Mu Yue fell behind, thanking Shen Jiayan gratefully: "Mother, thank you for enlightening brother! Thanks to you, otherwise we wouldn't know what to do."

Shen Jiayan thought that he would be separated from them after the next year, but it was rare for him to feel a little tender towards Mu Yue, and patted her head: "You have done a good job! Your elder brother can figure it out without my guidance! You guys They are all smart kids, when things happen in the future, as long as you can keep your heart and stand the temptation, you don't have to worry about anything!"

Hearing Shen Jiayan's words, Mu Yue felt a bad feeling in her heart.

It's just rare that Shen Jiayan treats her so tenderly, which makes her happy, and quickly forgets that something is wrong.

After returning home, Mrs. Bai came to the door.

Carrying a bag of homemade rice candies for the Chinese New Year, it was not like before, talking and laughing when entering the door, but with a look of embarrassment on his face, and only said that he wanted to talk to Shen Jiayan in the room.

Shen Jiayan reckoned that the material of the clothes couldn't cover it up completely, and today is the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, and it couldn't be delayed any longer.

Without revealing his face, he invited people into the room, poured hot tea, and waited quietly for Bai Shi to speak.

With a wry smile, Bai took the tea, took a sip, and said, "Sister, I'm really sorry! Something happened to the suit you entrusted me to make. I put the materials in the room , It’s okay for a while, but a stray cat who doesn’t know where it came from ran into the house and tore the material to pieces.”

"Fortunately, I found out early. I only got half of it back. I got the coat on top, but the pants on the bottom—"

Having said that, he pursed his lips, and quietly raised his eyes to look at Shen Jiayan's face, wanting to see her reaction so that he could continue talking.

But seeing Shen Jiayan's mouth smiling, neither annoyance nor pity, distress, or surprise appeared on his face.

Immediately, my heart sank, I swallowed the words I had prepared before, and now I put it in an honest way: "It's really embarrassing to say it, I feel a little ashamed to see you! The material has an accident, and I also I'm sorry to tell you, but I just wanted to go to the town to find the tailor shop and cloth shop to see if there are any clothes with the same material as yours, and buy them back to make up, that's all."

"Bisheng girl, your clothes are made of good material. I've asked all over the town, but I haven't seen anything like it! Everyone said that this good material is only available in the county! I asked them to go to the county to help bring one back, but here Isn't it Chinese New Year, and they don't have any manpower to go to the county seat, they just say that when they go to the county seat after the new year, they will help bring it back."

"I just wanted to tell you that this accident happened because I was unprepared! I'm really sorry! Just please don't annoy me. I'll hurry up when the clothes arrive. Hurry up and get it for you! I don’t want the wages, how about I make you another pair of shoes for the scraps of material?”

Seeing Bai Shi's uneasy look, Shen Jiayan just smiled, they will move out after the new year, maybe they will never come back here again in this life, why bother to push Bai Shi for such an idea?

Seeing Bai's embarrassment, even if there is a story here, it is the Zhu family's family scandal, and it must be kept secret.

At the moment, he just smiled: "Why should I be so polite between me and my sister-in-law? If my sister-in-law told me earlier, I wouldn't have to spend so much effort! Since those materials are destroyed, it's fine, and the wages still have to be given to my sister-in-law. You can't let your sister-in-law contribute in vain, can you?"

"However, I have heard that my sister-in-law can make good shoes. If my sister-in-law is really good to me, she can use the odd materials to make me a pair of shoes. After a while, my sister-in-law will send the coat and coat to your Sanya. gone."

"Sister-in-law, don't worry about it. It's almost Chinese New Year, so don't be unhappy about such a trivial matter!"

As he said that, he counted out the wages agreed that day from his purse, and stuffed it into Bai's hands.

The circles of Bai's eyes were red, and the past few days were really hard to endure, and he couldn't drag it on, so he bit the bullet and came here.

Seeing Shen Jiayan being so eloquent, how could anyone not be moved?
If she was asked to return the money, she would really be reluctant to part with it. After all, there is no separation now, and it would be difficult for their eldest family to save some private money.

They are all accumulated with a few pennies.

Twenty big money at a time, she couldn't bear to refuse no matter what.

Holding the money tightly in the palm of his hand, it took a long time before he said: "Sister, your heart, my sister-in-law has taken it! My sister-in-law is not afraid of your jokes, there is no separation, and money is really tight, so I have the cheek to accept it." Don't worry, my sister-in-law will make the shoes you want carefully, among other things, the shoes made by my sister-in-law are fit and durable."

"I'll ask Sanya to bring you the clothes in a while—" He couldn't sit still as he spoke, and hurriedly said goodbye and went home.

Sure enough, after a while, Sanya came over with a small basket, feeling a little embarrassed, entered Shen Jiayan's room, apologized for Bai Shi, put down her things and was about to leave.

Being retained by Shen Jiayan, he grabbed fried pine nuts and peanuts for her, and talked to her by the way.

The girl Sanya was only as old as she was, and she didn't have a heart. While eating, she said a few words to Shen Jiayan, and then she got caught.

Knowing that although the Zhu family is about to celebrate the new year, the atmosphere in the house has not been right. The little aunt who has returned home as a widow has been hiding in the house and crying every day these days.

Grandma took sides with her aunt, and scolded her mother-in-law, Mrs. Bai, and Second Aunt.

At night, I secretly heard my mother and father say that after the new year, I will marry the evil little aunt far away.

When Shen Jiayan heard it, there was still something she didn't understand. I was afraid that something wrong with the material of the clothes was related to the little sister of the Zhu family who had returned home as a widow.

It's just that I don't know how the little sister of the Zhu family got involved with the material of the clothes.

Shen Jiayan frowned and recalled that when Mu Pojun was still Shi Qi when he was giving clothes materials, he was still the second elder brother of her natal family, so she suddenly understood.

It's ridiculous at the moment.

But after knowing the whole story of this matter, Shen Jiayan felt relieved, thinking so carefully was nothing to worry about.

Fortunately, she raised her heart before, fearing that because Zhu's family was friendly with her and they were neighbors next door, she would benefit Zhu's family intentionally or unintentionally, and would raise their hearts and have other thoughts.

It turned out that he just fell in love with Mu Pojun, so what's the matter?
If it is possible, she is eager to offer it with both hands.

Feeling relieved, when Sanya left, he secretly grabbed several handfuls of pine nuts and a few pieces of homemade rice candy for her.

Sanya went home happily.

In the evening, Quan's brought the ready-made clothes and a few kinds of food from the family.

Shen Jiayan readily gave the wages, and also sent Quan's home-made dry goods for the New Year, such as fried chestnuts with sugar, rice candies, and soy bean candies.

There is no shortage of sugar in their family, and they only make these during the Chinese New Year. The ingredients are enough, and the sugar is also enough. It smells sweet and attractive.

The Quan family knew that the Mu family didn't lack this, so they readily accepted it.

When Quan's family left and went home, Mu Pojun also came back against the cold wind.

In such a cold day, Shen Jiayan was going to the town to pick up the clothes made by his family, but Mu Pojun said something happened, so Shen Jiayan simply asked him to bring them back.

He was carrying a pannier, which was full to the brim.

After entering the main room, put down the basket, Da Zhuang and the others served hot ginger syrup, Mu Pojun drank it in one gulp, shivered twice, and warmed up.

Everything in the basket was taken out, Mu Yue and Mu Tianrun cheered when they saw the new clothes, and went in hand in hand to try them on.

Shen Jiayan took out his own set and put it aside, then he saw that there were still a bunch of things.

When I took it out, I found that it was a pair of fur hand mugs. The inside was made of gray rabbit fur, but the ends were inlaid with white rabbit fur. The fluffy ones looked cute.

Seeing that Shen Jiayan seemed to be interested, Mu Pojun hurriedly said: "This is recommended by the shopkeeper of the tailor shop. It is said that this is the fashion in the city now. It would be great to accompany you two with the newly made clothes. I will give it to you and Ah Yue alone." I bought one. It’s just that the white rabbit fur is a little dirty, but it’s Chinese New Year, you don’t need to work, you two don’t need to go out to visit relatives, and wear this cold-free hand.”

Mu Yue changed into a new jacket and came out with a new skirt. The pink jacket was paired with a twelve-length skirt. Although it was a thick winter dress, Mu Yue looked slim and graceful, without any feeling of bulkiness.

What's more, the little girls of the same age in this village are basically wearing dusty jackets, and many of them are picked up from the old clothes of their brothers and sisters. It would be nice to have a few patches.

Even if there is a family with better conditions, they will not buy such a delicate color as pink for their children.

It is conceivable that after eating lunch, taking a shower and changing into new clothes on New Year's Eve, Mu Yue might become the envy of all the girls in the village.

Mu Yue's eyes lit up when she saw this hand muffler, she couldn't wait to take one, tried it on, and was reluctant to take it off.

You must know that it is warm in this room, but the wind blows painfully when you go out. She has always been afraid of the cold, and she can’t imitate the girls in the village. shrunken.

No matter how cold it is, she has to hold her head high, so this hand covering is perfect for her.

What's more, it is also inlaid with white rabbit fur, which looks cute. This set is very conspicuous even in the county town.

Which little girl doesn't love to be pretty?

Mu Yue gratefully thanked Mu Pojun and Shen Jiayan, reluctantly changed her clothes and saved them for the New Year.

Mu Pojun handed the remaining one to Shen Jiayan.

Shen Jiayan was not polite, took it and thanked him.

Mu Pojun was overjoyed, waved his hand casually and said no, but his heart was full of joy, it seemed that his idea was right.

This agreed to Shen Jiayan's separation and gave her things by herself, so she didn't resist anymore, and her attitude towards herself became much gentler.

Persevere, and it won't be long before you can embrace the beauty!

For dinner, Mu Pojun had a big appetite and ate very happily. He even discussed with Shen Jiayan, saying that he would not go out tomorrow and was preparing for the New Year.

Shen Jiayan nodded, and had a discussion with him about what to prepare for tomorrow and how to arrange for the New Year the day after tomorrow.

After all, celebrating the new year now is different from Shen Jiayan celebrating the new year in modern times.

There are more rules, and many of them require men to come forward, such as worshiping ancestors, such as New Year's greetings and the like.

It can only be done by men.

Before, Shen Jiayan was worried that Mu Tianze didn't understand the rules here, because in his memory, the original owner spent the New Year with them in a miserable and miserable way.

This year, the family conditions are better, and I have more contacts with the villagers, so I can't be rude anymore.

It just so happened that Mu Pojun came back, anyway, he is not completely useless, at least he should know about this point.

Sure enough, when Mu Pojun talked about this, he was eloquent and eloquent.

Hearing Shen Jiayan's head hurt, she directly interrupted him, saying that everything would be left to him and Mu Tianze, and as for the reunion dinner, she would just bring Mu Yue and Da Zhuang to arrange it.

It is a clear division of labor.

Mu Pojun felt that he was the backbone of the family, so he had to be counted on for such matters.

Immediately, he readily agreed, and after being coaxed by Shen Jiayan's kind words, he went back to the house with a smile like a dream.

Now he lives with Mu Tianze and Mu Tianrun in the east wing.

Mu Tianze's original room was given to him, and he took Mu Tianrun to live in the study.

Seeing Mu Pojun like this, Mu Tianze couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

His father's shaved head was hot, and he felt good about himself, but he didn't realize that he had privately asked Shen Jiayan to get together quickly and stay away from him.

But Mu Tianze stabilized, became ruthless, and secretly said: Dad, I'm sorry!
Mu Pojun sneezed in the room, he didn't take it seriously, he thought he had caught a cold during the day, got up and drank another bowl of ginger soup, climbed onto the kang, wrapped himself in the quilt and fell asleep quickly.

On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, smoke rose from the roofs of every family, and there was a sound of ping-pong-pong in the stove.

The local Chinese New Year is different from other places. Other places have a New Year’s Eve dinner. Locally, we have a reunion dinner at noon on the New Year’s Eve.

I will be busy in the morning, and I am afraid that I will be too busy.

On the 29th, most women will prepare the next day's Chinese New Year and even the first month's dishes.

The weather is cold, so it can be stored. When you want to eat, just take it out and heat it up.

Mu's fried rice candy, soybean sugar, and chestnuts with sugar were made in 27 or [-] days.

However, most of the villagers did not start until the 29th day. Every family opened a frying pan, frying and steaming.

The air above the village has been filled with the smell of oil and various meats since the morning. The children in the village are so greedy that they are reluctant to go out today. They hang on to the door of the stove house and only swallow.

　Queuing up to do nucleic acid this morning, it was so hot that I felt like I was about to suffer from heat stroke~~

　　This weather, when is it a head!
