The peasant widow is famous all over the world

Hearing the sound of the door being closed, Lu Lu pursed his lips and looked at Zhou Xiaohua's back. Finally, he took his brother and slowly walked to the door and sat down.

Dad meant not to let Mom go out, so he and his brother should be able to block her by sitting by the door.

Zhou Xiaohua was stuck in her own thoughts and didn't even notice the movements of her two sons.

In her mind, Zhengtian and the people were at war. On one side, he was soft-spoken to Tang Mian, and on the other side, Lu Dashan looked majestic in the official uniform of the Inspection Department.

My head was about to burst thinking about it. After all, it was the mighty Lu Dashan who won.

She and Tang Mian have been arguing for more than 20 years. At worst, she will avoid Tang Mian from now on. As long as she can't see Tang Mian, they can't quarrel.

After thinking about it, Zhou Xiaohua gritted her teeth and turned around and walked out.

"Huzi, take your brother and mother out for a trip."

Lu Hu paused, stood up and pressed against the door panel, staring at Zhou Xiaohua with his dark eyes, and said stubbornly: "Mom, dad said you shouldn't go out for these two days."

Lu Bao blinked, looked left at his brother, right at his mother, took a small step and chose to stand next to his brother. He followed his example and pressed his body tightly against the door.

Zhou Xiaohua rolled her eyes rudely, "What can your small body block?"

After finishing speaking, Lu Hu with his left hand and Lu Bao with his right pulled the two of them aside and opened the door.

"Okay, your mother and I are not going out to quarrel or fight. You two stay at home."

After saying that, he crossed the threshold and closed the door behind him.

She was going to find Tang Mian.

Tang Mian didn't know that Zhou Xiaohua came to her again, intent on looking for dandelions in the mountains.

"Hey! Zhou Xiaohua, why don't you wear new clothes and red flowers today!" Aunt Niu joked when she saw Zhou Xiaohua who was wearing old clothes with a hoe on her shoulder.

Yesterday, Zhou Xiaohua was wearing [-]% to [-]% new clothes and a silk flower on her head. When she saw her, she raised a bright smile and greeted her politely.

At first, she thought the sun was rising from the west, but Zhou Xiaohua actually became polite and courteous. It turns out that Zhou Xiaohua came to show off to her.

Zhou Xiaohua paused slightly, glanced at Aunt Niu, and hummed softly: "If you don't want to wear it, you don't want to wear it!"

After saying that, he picked up his feet and left.

"Hey! Zhou Xiaohua, there were so many things on Lu Zhian's cart yesterday, and they were said to be gifts from the county magistrate. Why, it's not your share?" Aunt Niu looked at Zhou Xiaohua proudly and said.

snort!
After listening to Zhou Xiaohua's words yesterday, I really thought that Lu Dashan had made a fortune, but who knew it was all in vain.

Although it was all in vain, Zhou Xiaohua's words made her uncomfortable.

We met today, and we have to find our place no matter what.

Zhou Xiaohua paused for a moment, turned around and rolled her eyes, "None of your business!"

Aunt Niu smiled nonchalantly, "It's really none of my business. However, Zhou Xiaohua, we are relatives of the same clan after all. Aunt Niu reminds you, don't believe anything Lu Dashan says. Bringing such a big cart back, I must have collected a lot of medicine. Whether I made any money, who knows!"

Zhou Xiaohua glared at her, "Lu Dashan won't lie to me!"

Lu Dashan's temper was a bit violent, but he was an honest man and would not lie to her.

Aunt Niu pouted, "Who knows!"

"Xiao Hua, I advise you, you are so thoughtful. Maybe Lu Dashan got rich without telling you, and one day he just brought back a little lady and kicked you. Why are you so lazy and loving at ordinary times? You are making trouble and you are not treating your two sons well!"

Aunt Niu shook her head with a fake sigh, as if giving a kind warning, looked at Zhou Xiaohua with pity, and left.

snort!
You used words to hurt me yesterday, but you can’t even think of feeling comfortable today!
Zhou Xiaohua's face suddenly darkened, she turned around and cursed at Aunt Niu's back, "Damn old woman, what nonsense are you talking about, that's why you got kicked."

Lu Dashan would not do that.

Although Zhou Xiaohua said this to herself, she still felt a little weak in her heart. After all, Lu Dashan had told her before that he would write a letter of divorce.

No, no!

Seeing that Lu Dashan was about to enter the inspection department, she couldn't be kicked.

After being disturbed by Aunt Niu, Zhou Xiaohua, who was originally dawdling, quickly ran towards Qingzhu Mountain.

She went to Tang Mian's house to ask, and her aunt told her that Tang Mian had gone out to look for wild vegetables. When I met Tang Mian just now, I saw her walking towards the outside of the village. I guessed that she must have entered Qingzhu Mountain.

"Tang Mian." Not far from the village entrance, Zhou Xiaohua saw Tang Mian walking towards her carrying a basket.

Tang Mian paused and looked at the panting Zhou Xiaohua in surprise.

"What happened?" Tang Mian ran to Zhou Xiaohua and asked with worry on his face.

Zhou Xiaohua swallowed her saliva and shook her head, "Nothing happened."

Tang Mian was even more confused. He frowned and asked, "Then why did you come to me so quickly?"

Are you here to quarrel again?
Zhou Xiaohua took two deep breaths. After she recovered, she gritted her teeth and said quickly: "Tang Mian, I'm sorry. I won't quarrel with you in the future, and I won't make up bad things about you. Don't go and say bad things about Dashan in front of the county magistrate."

"What?" Tang Mian looked at Zhou Xiaohua blankly, "I have never said anything about Brother Dashan in front of the county magistrate!"

Zhou Xiaohua pouted, "Anyway, I will definitely get along with you on friendly terms from now on, that's it."

After saying that, he stopped looking at Tang Mian, turned around and left.

She was worried that if she said a few more words, she would start to argue again.

Looking at Zhou Xiaohua's angrily leaving figure, Tang Mian was very puzzled and a little bit dumbfounded, "Where are you from?"

He sighed, shook his head and carried the basket home.

After Zhou Xiaohua told Tang Mian, she ran home in a hurry.

"Dashan, you are back!"

As soon as he entered the house, he was greeted by Lu Dashan's dark gaze.

"I made it clear to Tang Mian when I went out. I will never confront her in the future. I will also control my mouth and will not talk nonsense outside."

Before Lu Dashan opened his mouth, Zhou Xiaohua explained clearly as if pouring beans.

Lu Dashan was noncommittal about Zhou Xiaohua's words. He felt that what Zhou Xiaohua said must be sincere at this time, but he didn't know how long it would last.

Seeing that Lu Dashan still remained silent, Zhou Xiaohua looked at him carefully and asked, "Is there no problem with your joining the Inspection Department?"

Lu Dashan glanced at her but said nothing.

Zhou Xiaohua was a little anxious, "I have already given in to Tang Mian and apologized, what else do you want?"

"Don't worry about this matter. The county magistrate has not yet made a final decision on whether you can go in." Lu Dashan said as he walked towards the kitchen.

"That's easy, as long as Tang Mian asks the county magistrate for a favor."

Before Zhou Xiaohua finished speaking, Lu Dashan turned around and glared at her. Zhou Xiaohua's heart skipped a beat and she closed her mouth in an instant.

"If you dare to trouble your siblings about this matter, see how I deal with you." Lu Dashan glared at her and threatened.

"Also, this matter has not been finalized yet, so don't say a word."

Zhou Xiaohua nodded quickly, and when she saw Lu Dashan walking towards the kitchen, she quickly followed him, "I'm here to help."

Such a self-conscious Zhou Xiaohua is rarely seen on weekdays.

The two Lu Lu brothers looked at her in surprise.

the other side

After Tang Mian got home, he put the basket in the yard, put away the knife, went to the kitchen to get a dustpan, and folded out the dandelions.

Unexpectedly, dandelions grow in patches. Although there is some distance between each plant, you can see them at a glance.

The basket she brought was a little small, and it was full after digging out only a small piece.

"Mian Niang, when I went out just now, I heard that Zhou Xiaohua was causing trouble for you again?" Mrs. Li took a small stool and sat next to Tang Mian, helping them fold dandelions together.

At this moment, her mind was filled with Zhou Xiaohua's quarrel with Tang Mian, and she didn't notice that the dandelion in her hand was a wild vegetable she had never eaten before.

Tang Mian smiled, picked up a dandelion and pulled off the yellow and rotten leaves, "Mom, it's okay. Brother Dashan came over later and said it was a misunderstanding."

"Moreover, after I came out from picking wild vegetables, Zhou Xiaohua came to me again and said that she would get along well with me in the future and would never quarrel with me again."

"What? Are you serious?" Li looked at Tang Mian with wide eyes, full of disbelief.

Tang Mian nodded and affirmed: "Really. Zhou Xiaohua did tell me that." Although she couldn't believe it.

However, it would be a good thing if Zhou Xiaohua could really do what she said.

Ms. Li felt dizzy and couldn't believe it. "She came to quarrel with you one moment, and came to make peace with you the next moment. Mian Niang, you have to be careful, don't let her lower you deliberately." I'm very cautious, but I'm holding back my ultimate move!"

Tang Mian chuckled and said, "Mom, don't worry, it won't happen. Zhou Xiaohua and I have been quarreling since childhood, and I know her very well."

Zhou Xiaohua's biggest trick in her 20s is to pull her hair and slap her.

"You still have to be more cautious." Ms. Li thought for a while and ordered.

"it is good."

To avoid Mrs. Li's worries, Tang Mian agreed to her words.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Xiaohua really did what he said this time, and Tang Mian didn't see her for more than ten days.

Tang Mian was happy and relaxed if Zhou Xiaohua didn't cause trouble. She had been busy cleaning and preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival in the past two days, and she didn't have the energy to deal with Zhou Xiaohua.

A few days ago, my sister sent a message, saying that she and her brother-in-law were going to their house to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, and they would probably stay overnight.

In previous years, my family would celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with my eldest uncle and two uncles. There are three families, and each family takes turns treating guests every year.

This year we were supposed to be at the second uncle's house, but my sister and brother-in-law were coming over, so we decided to treat them to their house this year.

"Mian Niang, are these glutinous rice enough?" Mrs. Li asked, holding half a bucket of glutinous rice.

Tang Mian was cutting the meat and took a look when he heard this, "Mom, these glutinous rice weigh about ten kilograms, it should be enough."

Not much glutinous rice is planted every year, only half an acre of land, and the harvest is more than 100 kilograms. The main thing is to make glutinous rice cakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival, which I rarely eat on weekdays.

"Yeah." Mrs. Li nodded, "Then I'll wash it and soak it, and steam it directly in the pot tomorrow."

Tang Mian continued to cut the meat and said "ok" lightly.

There are a lot of things to do tomorrow. Let’s cut the meat and hang it into the well today. Then we won’t be so busy.

"Mom, have you taken out the beans?" Tang Mian thought of eating bean noodles for glutinous rice cake and raised his head and asked.

Mrs. Li added water to the glutinous rice bucket and said casually, "Not yet, I'll soak the glutinous rice and go."

"Mom, remember to get more."

The bean noodles are so fragrant that two cousins ​​​​like to dip more bean noodles in them every time they eat glutinous rice cakes.

"Okay, mother knows." Mrs. Li responded and started washing the glutinous rice.

Not only Tang Mian and Li were busy, Lu Zheng and Zhuang Zhuang were not idle either.

Especially Lu Zheng, he wanted to kill two chickens and ducks, clean them up, and make soup tomorrow.

He also went to the river in the morning. He originally wanted to catch a few fish, but he ended up getting two palm-sized crucian carp.

I had to go out and buy a few in the afternoon to avoid being robbed tomorrow.

Then take the little one with you to fold out the non-perishable dishes. After finishing, wash all the borrowed dishes and put them away and cover them for easy access tomorrow.

The next day, at dawn, Li and Tang Mian got up to make breakfast.

After the family had breakfast, Tang Mian began to stew chicken soup and duck soup.

The chickens and ducks have been fed for several years, and they need to be simmered slowly all morning to make the soup and meat more fragrant.

Mrs. Li steamed the glutinous rice in a big pot.

I soaked it all night yesterday, but it didn't last long.

"Brothers and sisters, third aunt, we are here!"

The two of them were busy in the kitchen, and there were greetings and knocks outside the door.

"Old man, go and open the door quickly." Mrs. Li shouted from the kitchen.

"I know, I know, you are busy with your business, don't worry about this." Lu Zheng replied loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Zheng had already opened the door.

"Uncle Three."

"Everyone is here, move the things in quickly, some nieces and nephews will go to the kitchen to help."

Lu Zheng raised a smile, looked at the juniors carrying tables and stools outside the door, and made arrangements unceremoniously.

"Hey! Third uncle, let's go right away." Several nieces and nephews responded happily.

Everyone is used to it, and the family is not so polite.

"Uncle Third, are the tables placed in the yard?" Lu Zhian asked.

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Except for the four people on duty, everyone in the yamen is on holiday.

Lu Zheng nodded and commanded: "Place two tables in the yard, and another table in the main room. Later, let Wu Mei and the others carry a table to Mianniang's house and set it up. There must also be one at the door of Mianniang's house. A table.”

"Okay, Third Uncle." The nephews responded and quickly started setting up the table and benches.

After the glutinous rice was steamed, Li poured it into the stone trough that had been prepared.

"Zhi'an, Zhiqiang, come in quickly."

"Here we come, Third Aunt." The two of them responded loudly.

"Third Aunt, did you ask us to make glutinous rice cakes?" Lu Zhian said happily before entering the kitchen.

Mrs. Li chuckled and said, "I guess you guessed it right. Get it quickly."

Making glutinous rice cakes requires a lot of strength. If there are laborers at home, it must be left to them.

"immediately."

As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them walked into the kitchen, lifted up the stone trough and walked out.

The whole family was very busy.

As noon approached, a gorgeous carriage slowly drove into Qingyuan Village.

"Who is this?" The passing villagers looked at the carriage in surprise.

"The driver seems familiar!" someone whispered.

"It seems to be the one next to the county magistrate's wife"

"His!"

Several people passing by looked at each other. The county magistrate's wife went to Tang Mian's house again!

"Tang Mian and the county magistrate's wife have such a good relationship!"

Several people were very envious.

"Sister, brother-in-law."

"My lord, madam."

When Zhuang Jing and Yu Mingzhi arrived at Tang Mian's house, a group of people put down what they were doing and went out to greet them.

"Auntie, uncle." Zhuangzhuang looked at the two people who got off the carriage and shouted in a crisp voice.

Zhuang Jing smiled gently, "Yan Xiu, come here quickly."

She originally liked children, but now that she is pregnant, she loves them even more.

Lu Yanxiu is her sister's only child, so Zhuang Jing is naturally overjoyed.

The little guy looked up at Tang Mian. When he saw Tang Mian smiling and nodding, he let go of her hand and walked towards Zhuang Jing.

"You kid, look at your mother first in everything you do!" Zhuang Jing joked with a smile.

Zhuang Zhuang blinked and said honestly: "She is my mother, and my mother always comes first in my heart."
