Dressed as the best old lady in the famine years, I suddenly became rich

Chapter 10 What a fool
  "What time of the year are you killing chickens? When can you eat them now?" Ke Muqing couldn't even find half a candle in the house. He didn't eat his dinner before it got completely dark. He couldn't let the whole family sit in the sun. Moon for dinner, right?
  "Everyone can add a bowl of sweet water eggs in the evening, and save the chickens to be killed in the morning." After Ke Muqing finished speaking, everyone in the yard looked at her with wide eyes, and they knew that it was her sudden generosity that surprised the Yang family. .

"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you hurry up and wait for me, an old lady with half of her body buried in the coffin, to come into the kitchen and cook for you?"

Ke Muqing put his hands on his hips, and the original owner's unreasonable and domineering energy came up.

The group of people immediately looked away, and no one dared to continue staring at her.

The two sisters-in-law walked into the kitchen with their heads down. After a while, Xiudama came out of the kitchen shaking the water in her hands.

She stood quietly at the door of the kitchen, a little confused and a little scared. If she didn't need to cook at home, what else could she do?
  The thin and frail little girl stood at the door and hesitated for a long time, as if she mustered up the courage before walking towards Ke Muqing.

In a small voice, "Mom, I won't steal food when I'm working in the kitchen."

The seven-year-old thought for a long time and came up with this possibility. Probably my mother asked her two sisters-in-law to put eggs and sugar in the kitchen. My mother was afraid that she would eat alone while working in the kitchen, so she asked her to stay out of the kitchen. live.

Facing such a humble little girl, no matter how hard Ke Muqing's heart is, her heart aches.

She touched the little girl's head, scolding the original owner for not being a human being, and at the same time comforting the frightened little girl, explaining to her, "Mom is not afraid that you will eat secretly, but I think you are young, have a high stove, and are indifferent." It’s a bit hard to work.”

Ke Xiuyu pursed her lips and smiled shyly. Her eyes were too big for her thin body.

Her smile was a happy smile because her mother cared about her.

"Mom was confused before, please forgive me, and she will love you in the future." Ke Muqing touched the child's face, "In the future, eat more, grow more meat, and when you grow taller, you can do the work in the kitchen."

The seven-year-old girl has been nourished for a long time, so she looks as big as a five-year-old child now.

She is three years younger than Yang Shuangshuang, but this youngest is much shorter than Yang Shuangshuang.

The little girl shook her head, her hair like withered grass swaying along with it.

"My mother is willing to have me and even changed my name. She is the best mother. She is not confused at all." The little girl's expression was very serious when she spoke.

Ke Muqing smiled at the child.

What a good child this is. In the entire Yang family, this youngest is the one that Ke Muqing likes the most and also makes her feel the most distressed.

However, this youngest was just like the slaves in the original owner's house. He ate the least, got up the earliest, slept the latest, and after finishing the work in the kitchen, he had to go to the fields to follow.

Even a cow has to take a breather, but if this little girl is seen sitting down, she will be scolded and called lazy.

If she picks up an extra chopstick while eating, she will be scolded, she will be scolded for being greedy, and she will be scolded for being reincarnated as a starving ghost.

These days, farmers don’t have much to eat on the table, so dinner is made quickly.

It was getting dark and the kitchen was dark. Ke Muqing led the youngest into the kitchen and couldn't help but ask, "Are there not even half a candle in the house? Where is the oil lamp?"

"Mom, when did our family buy candles and oil lamps?" Chen Ni'er asked, "Why are you so particular about mom now? In the past, you said it, mom, you couldn't even eat your food, so there was no need to burn money. stuff."

"If you don't, just say no. If you talk less, no one will think you are mute." Ke Muqing's temples twitched.

When Zheng Qiu Shuang heard her sister-in-law being scolded, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.

But after all, he was more thoughtful than Chen Nier. It didn't matter if he knew she was snickering, but it would matter a lot if she laughed.

Fortunately, she had sharp ears and heard sounds coming from the yard. Zheng Qiu Shuang said quickly, "Mom, it seems Jimin and Lao Liu are back together." The two brothers met when they were about to get home, so they came back together. .

Zheng Qiu Shuang was afraid that she would be scolded if she continued to stay in the kitchen, so she immediately turned around and went out, warmly greeting the two people who had just returned home to eat.

"Second sister-in-law, I brought back a lot of good things from my grandma's house." Yang Wenxiao pointed to the things on the oxcart, "Grandma heard that my mother was fine and divorced her, but she was happy because she knew that my mother had hurt her head. , he just stuffed these things into me, saying he was bringing them back to replenish my mother’s health.”

After listening to Yang Wenxiao's words, everyone in the kitchen ran out.

Yang Jimin was still shaking the big roosters he was carrying in his hands, and then said: "Mom, I have been choosing for a long time, and I specially picked the two fattest roosters from my aunt's house."

After saying that, Yang Jimin felt it was a pity, "It would be great if I could come back with two hens."

A group of people were overjoyed, and Yang Jiye even praised his two younger brothers for their good skills.

Ke Muqing raised his hand to his forehead.

Yang Jimin stopped talking.

"You are such an idiot!" Ke Muqing pointed at the proud Yang Wenxiao and was speechless.

How could there be such shameless people in the world?
  I went there empty-handed, and then I wished I could empty out my grandfather’s house before coming back.

Yang Wenxiao thought this was a compliment and became even happier after hearing it.

"Grandma wanted to give me some money, but grandpa stopped me." The tone of these words was full of regret.

After saying that, Yang Wenxiao seemed to be trustworthy for a while and said, "Mom, I think my grandma misses you very much. When you are well, you can go back to your grandma's house to meet your grandma. She is as old as grandma." Yeah, it’s not easy to shed tears just by mentioning my mother.”

Ke Muqing thought to herself that she still felt sorry for the old man, so it seemed that he was not completely hopeless.

"Jimin has two chickens in his hand. One will be killed tomorrow and kept for his family to eat, and the other will be taken to your grandfather's house tomorrow."

Ke Muqing asked the two brothers to wash their hands and prepare to eat, while he opened the baggage on the bullock cart to see what was inside.

In the full bundle, there was an earthen jar of honey, three strips of bacon, and a wooden box.

When I opened the box, I saw it was a ginseng that was two fingers thick.

Then there are some pastries, which look like red bean cakes in color.

Hidden in a bag is a lot of things that the Ke family's parents have never said about their love for this eldest daughter who they have not had any contact with over the years.

Speaking of this ginseng alone, I am afraid that one of Ke Xiucai's students got it specially for Mr. Xiaojing.

The wooden box was old, and the Ke family must have treasured it for many years and was reluctant to take it out for use, but now it was given to Ke Muqing, their daughter who had been beaten and brain-damaged.

"Take this piece of bacon and then the eggs. After dinner, boss, please come with me to Li Zheng's house. Thanks to his help for today, we have to thank him."

"Lao Liu will catch the ox cart tomorrow morning. We will go to the town to buy some things first, and then go to your grandfather's house."

Ke Muqing must send ginseng back. The two elders of the Ke family are old, and ginseng can save lives at critical times.
