suspected wife

The villagers of Xiahe Village crowded Qiao Mingjin's yard, and some even brought home-grown vegetables, pickled vegetables, eggs, and some wild fruits and the like to congratulate.

Qiao Mingjin didn't think it was worth any money, so he took it all.

But they all returned to the basket.

Or one or two large pomegranates, or some dried meat snacks brought by Zhou Yanqing, or half a catty of white sugar.

Zhou Yanqing would bring half a cart of these things every time he came, and the three of them, even with Yun Jinhe's father and others, couldn't finish eating them in a short while.

The people in the village were enthusiastic, so she returned a gift.These are also rare things in the eyes of the farmers, and everyone is happy for a while.

Although Qiao Mingjin didn't plan to have any banquets, but that night, despite the enthusiasm of the crowd, he still invited a few close family members to have dinner at home.

On the construction site, Mrs. Ma and others were still helping with the cooking, so it didn't take Qiao Mingjin much effort to have ready-made helpers.

Mrs. Su, Mrs. Ma, Mrs. Zhang and Sister Xiu were all sincerely happy for Qiao Mingjin.

The few of their families are not well-off. Since Qiao Mingjin moved out of Yue's house, although she often helps out, it is only some vegetables grown at home, some grains and the like, or she usually comes to help with work.

They watched Qiao Mingjin spend a period of time from morning to night, a charming lady went up the mountain to chop firewood that no man could chop, and they really felt sorry for her.

It's just that each family's ability is limited.

Now watching her make life more and more prosperous, the family built a well, and now they have a wing room, and there is still a steady stream of income.While envious, I am also really happy for her.

In the evening, in the courtyard of Qiao's house, several tables were set up.Father He, Yunjin and others helped to entertain Master Guan and some acquaintances in the village.And Qiao Mingjin was dragged by Su and others to speak.

The children of Wan'er, Sister Xiu and others also set up a separate table, and a dozen or so children ate happily together.

During the dinner, Mrs. Sun dragged Yue Donggen around, saying that he wanted to help.But who can't see what she means?It's just that her son or she is greedy and wants to take the opportunity to occupy a seat.

Qiao Mingjin couldn't bear to drive him away, so she asked Wan'er to take a rough porcelain bowl and put a bowl of sharp meat for Yue Donggen.The child happily carried it away, ignoring the embarrassment of his mother standing there alone.

Mrs. Sun still wanted to stay with the cheek, but was dragged away by Yue Laoer who rushed over quickly.

Mrs. Sun went out cursing all the way, Qiao Mingjin and others vaguely heard Yue Er Er's scolding.

"This second child is also soft. The Sun family relied on giving birth to the eldest grandson of the Yue family, and acted as a prestige and blessing at home. He was flattering, but he avoided a lot of laziness. This second child, usually can't control her, Instead, let her teach Donggen into such a temper. I don't know what it will be like in the future. Hey."

Lu shook his head aside and said.

She is the fourth aunt of Yue Lao Er Er Yue Lao San, Lu's man and Lao Yue Tou are brothers of the same mother.Lu's men are ranked fourth, and Lao Yuetou is ranked second.The two families often move around.

Seeing that Yue Donggen was brought up like this by the Sun family, she really felt sorry for the Yue family.

"Mother, you worry about her. It's not like you didn't tell the second uncle, so what happened in the end? My second aunt didn't protect her tightly. She even said that you had bad intentions. Didn't it mean that your kindness was wasted, mother?" .”

After listening to her mother-in-law Lu's words, Su said with a sneer.

Sister Xiu also echoed from the side: "That's right, auntie. You don't know, but I live next door to her house, so Mrs. Wu can protect this eldest grandson, and can't easily allow others to say that he is not good at all. This old Yue The second one is soft. I can’t be more stubborn than my old lady, and my mother-in-law can’t be too stubborn. I can’t even say a word at home. The son doesn’t listen to his father. I don’t know what kind of Donggen will be raised by these two women!”

A few women chattered about the Yue family...

Speaking of children, they also talked about their own children...

Seeing the next table, Wan'er was leading a few children to eat happily, with narrowed eyes and smiling eyes, she was very moved.

"Looking at Wan'er's current state, she is much more cheerful. In the past, at Yue's house, she was not allowed to eat and drink, nor to have fun, and her grandma didn't want to see her, so she was very timid. Now she is sensible and cheerful. , and his mouth is much sharper. I heard that he can still abacus and write now. He also taught my son to count, which is amazing."

Sister Xiu said with emotion from the side.

Everyone asked Qiao Mingjin for advice.

They all expressed that they would send their children to her, not to mention Qiao Mingjin, who can read and write, to teach them, even if they are with Wan'er as a companion, it would be good to learn how to count.

Qiao Mingjin had no choice but to smile and said: "If you are not afraid that I will abuse your children, you can send them here. Usually when I teach Wan'er, they will learn together. But I don't have much time during this period. It is to give Wan'er a few big characters and let her write it herself. But this child can count, so it would be good for her to teach a few children to count."

Su said from the side: "You can still abuse the children? I don't believe it. I don't expect my two children to be able to read and write. We are just a farmer's family. I hope they can count, don't In the future, those who sell vegetables and eggs don’t know what to do.”

Mrs. Zhang also echoed.

This meal was really enjoyable.After the banquet, several people stayed with Qiao Mingjin until very late before returning home...

On the other side, the Zhou Mansion in the city.

In the magnificent and almost luxurious flower hall, an old lady wearing a swastika on her head, wearing gold and emeralds on her hair, and her clothes embroidered with peonies and brocades, is squinting her eyes and enjoying a few girls on the couch. leg-thumping massage.

And there were several richly dressed ladies sitting on both sides, chatting some flattering words to the old lady.

"Mother, you said that the sixth brother did not know where he learned the method of peeling pomegranates. It's really surprising. I used to know that pomegranates are delicious, but I thought it was troublesome to eat. Why don't you eat the juice with one hand while others peel it?" But I don’t want to eat it. This time, I can peel it myself. After the petals are cut, I just need to scrape them gently with a silver needle, and the grains will fall into the plate one by one. Well, not to mention delicious, it’s also good to watch. It’s very pleasing to the eyes just by looking at it.”

"Sister-in-law, you don't know. In previous years, in our house, the pomegranates were left over from the Zhuangzi. It was not the girl in the house that was cheaper. This time, my girl told me that she Can't get one."

Several women laughed at each other.

A young woman with a beautiful face about 30 years old said to the old lady on the couch: "Mom, have all the pomegranates sent by the village been hidden by my mother this time? It's only ten or so in my room." But it was all peeled and played by my monkey, and it was for nothing that I didn't eat enough."

The lady on the couch was listening with a smile, but this time she opened her eyes and squinted at the woman who spoke just now: "You don't know that Wen Xuan's child is very playful, how can he eat by himself? Don't you just look at it?" It’s fun, it must be taken to the academy to show off to the classmates.”

The old lady finished speaking.He asked the woman again: "Third daughter-in-law, isn't it Xiumu today? Where did Wenxuan go?"

That young woman is Zhou Wenxuan's mother.The first wife of the third master in the mansion, and the second daughter-in-law of the old lady.

"Mother, don't you know that Xuan'er went to the carpenter's shop with his uncle early in the morning. I heard that his sixth uncle made a chair for washing hair and placed it here with you. He washed it by himself." He didn't say it twice, but he still asked his sixth uncle to get him a card. No, he waited for his sixth uncle at the gate every night without saying anything. Today, Hugh Mu will be waiting at the door of his sixth uncle's room early in the morning. I'm caught. This must be in the carpenter's shop with his sixth uncle."

The old lady smiled when she heard this.

The daughters-in-law below heard the shampoo chair.He also said in a hurry: "Mother, you can't enjoy such a good thing to yourself. The daughter-in-law is also looking forward to it. You have to talk to Uncle Six and get a copy for each of us in the room." , otherwise we will not follow."

The old lady laughed happily after hearing this.

"It's not like you don't know that as soon as he got good things, he thought about getting them out for money. I'm afraid he was thinking about how to get them out for money as soon as possible."

The eldest daughter-in-law of the old lady saw that the old lady was in a good mood, so she said along the way: "This house is really thanks to the sixth uncle, otherwise, the old and the young in this house don't know what to eat and drink. Our master is not as good as the sixth uncle." ability."

After Uncle Zhou's wife finished speaking, she took a look online, saw the happy face of the old lady, rolled her eyes and said, "Mother, look, the sixth sibling has been gone for a few years, shouldn't it be given to the sixth brother?" Uncle said we have kissed?"

When the old lady heard this, the smile on her face faded away.

Sighing, he said after a long time: "It's not that you don't know his temperament. In the past few years, you haven't said much to him? But he just didn't like it. He just said that there are too many household affairs at home. I don't even know that. What is the child thinking. In the past few years, he has arranged for him to have a few good-looking girls in his room. There are no heirs! My heart is like a cat scratching. The child is still in a daze because he doesn't know my painstaking efforts. Hey."

Mrs. Wednesday took a look at the eldest wife and said, "Mother, how many people in Qingchuan County can catch the eyes of the sixth uncle! Or, let the clan uncles in Beijing help to find them in Beijing? With the sixth uncle's With the appearance and family background of our Zhou family, it is easy to find a lady in Beijing who is a Beijing official."

The round-faced Mrs. Tuesday also echoed: "Yes, mother. You can't delay the sixth uncle's big business just because of us as a big family. Our second master also said that the sixth brother is working too hard now." , to help him share some of it."

The old lady gave the bastard daughter-in-law a sideways look, and said nothing.

The eldest lady glanced back and forth, and then said: "Mother, I heard that the sixth uncle is busy these days, and he doesn't get close to the other houses. Even Aunt Liu hasn't seen him for a long time. Master, the sixth uncle has no heirs. Why don't mother call all the cousins ​​of the grandfather's family to the mansion, first to accompany the mother, and second, to let the sixth uncle see if there is something he likes. Even if you can't be a regular wife, find someone who knows everything about Liu Shu and put it in the room, and you can be a companion to talk to."

When the old lady heard it, it seemed to make sense.

My natal nieces and grandnieces are also good, and the family is considered well-matched.Maybe it's because he's tired of looking at a few people in the old sixth house, maybe find some new ones for him to see?

The old lady buried her head and thought about it seriously... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
