Fat Niang makes a fortune in farming

Chapter 190
"There was a big family in Lin County who wanted to build a house. They fell in love with my brother-in-law's good craftsmanship in carving galleries and painting columns, so I invited my brother-in-law to go. Because I was going to go for a few months, my eldest sister was worried, so I went with my brother-in-law. Something happened on the way, and the ship sank together with the people."

Thinking of this incident, Dong Qingfeng's heart is very heavy. The eldest sister is the only flesh and blood of his father and mother, but now only Ping'er is left without any news. Because of the disappearance of the eldest sister, his mother turned white all night, and her eyes also faded overnight. I was blind from crying.

"We have been fishing along the river for three months, but there is still no news."

"Alas—calculating carefully, Cuilan and Baoquan have been missing for a full year!"

Dong Jingye also put down the bowl from his hand, his wrinkled face was full of vicissitudes of life.

"Little uncle, little aunt, I'm full, I'm going to play with Yueya'er."

I don't know if Ping'er felt sad after hearing what they said, or if he was really full, Ping'er got off the table and ran towards the gate of the courtyard with a small half of the food left in the bowl.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, they bumped into Dayan and Xiaoyan.

"Ping'er, where are you going? We bought candy, do you want some?"

"Yes! Yes!"

Hearing that there was candy to eat, Ping'er's eyes lit up immediately, and he nodded his head again and again.

Dayan and Xiaoyan carefully distributed two pieces of candy to Ping'er from the paper bag they were holding.

"Then do you want to eat braised pork? Today my aunt made braised pork. It's delicious!"

Throwing two pieces of candy into his mouth, Ping'er smiled at Dayan Xiaoyan and pointed to the dining table in the yard.

Mrs. Huang, who was eating at the table, heard the voice of Big Yan and Xiaoyan coming from the gate of the courtyard, and immediately looked over. Seeing the two little children really standing at the door, she immediately put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hand, and walked towards them past.

It has been a long time since Dong Yongfeng made a big fuss in this house and returned home.

In the past two days, Mrs. Huang was worried, and even visited their house several times, but every time the door was closed tightly, and no sound was heard inside.

"Dayan, Xiaoyan, why are you here at this time? Have you eaten yet?"

Huang squatted in front of Xiaoyan, and took a closer look at her small face under the moonlight. The swelling had completely subsided, except that there was a small hole where the mouth was broken.

"Not yet." The two girls shook their heads like rattles at the same time.

"Why haven't you eaten at this hour? Hurry up and go to the table to eat."

Hearing that they hadn't eaten so late, Huang's heart ached so much that she immediately stood up and held them by the hand, intending to take them into the courtyard for dinner.

At this moment, Dong Yongfeng, who had been following Dayan and Xiaoyan, happened to arrive at the gate of the courtyard.

"Dayan, Xiaoyan..." Dong Yongfeng wanted to call Dayan and Xiaoyan back, but when he raised his head, he met Huang Shi's gaze. He immediately turned his head to the other side, but Huang Shi still saw him Uncomfortable on the face.

Following Dong Yongfeng, Xu Meijiao, who was wearing a brightly colored gown, came over just in time.

Dayan Xiaoyan, who was already hungry, immediately let go of Huang's hand, and ran to the dining table in the yard, "Little aunt, I'm hungry, I want to eat! I want to eat meat!"

Xu Meijiao, who had just stood firm at the door, immediately lit up her eyes when she heard that Dong's family had meat, and then ran towards Dayan and Xiaoyan.

Walking to the dining table, looking at the oily braised pork in the bowl on the table, Xu Mei's covetous saliva was almost left behind, she wiped her mouth with her sleeve.

"Ouch, I've been traveling all day, and I'm starving, or I'll just follow along."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was not polite, and sat down in the vacated space of Ping'er, then took Ping'er's chopsticks, and stuffed a piece of braised pork into his mouth.

Xu Meijiao, whose mouth was full of greasiness, got up quickly and hugged Dayan and Xiaoyan to the table.

"What are you doing? Hurry up and go home with me!"

At this time, Dong Yongfeng couldn't stand it anymore, he walked to Xu Meijiao's side, tugged on her sleeve, and wanted her to go home with him, so as not to embarrass her here.

"Why do you go home? There is a cold pot and a cold stove at home, and I still have to cook it when I go back. I just have a couple of bites here. I'm starving!"

Xu Meijiao didn't pay attention to Dong Yongfeng's tugging at all, but threw him away, and ran into the kitchen on her own initiative, took out a few sets of bowls and chopsticks, and distributed the bowls and chopsticks to Dayan Xiaoyan, He also stuffed a pair into Dong Yongfeng's hand.

"Besides, there is good news to tell parents!"

Xu Meijiao said while looking at the braised pork on the table out of the corner of her eye. Seeing that there were not a few pieces left, she immediately grabbed two more pieces from Dayan Xiaoyan and her own bowl, "Father, mother, we are here today I heard that there is news of my brother-in-law Baoquan in Lin County."

"What?" Dong Jingye, who had a sullen face and just lowered his head to eat in a muffled voice, raised his head immediately after hearing Xu Meijiao's words, put down his bowl and chopsticks, and looked at Xu Meijiao with surprise on his face, "Where did you hear that?" What did you say? What else did you say?"

"Boss—" At this time, Mrs. Huang, who was standing at the gate of the courtyard, also hurried over with Ping'er. She grabbed Dong Yongfeng's hand and said excitedly, "Talk to mother, are you Where did he hear it, what did he say!"

"Quick! Quick! Sit here and talk, okay, tell us carefully what's going on."

Dong Jingye quickly stood up, vacating his seat.

Dong Yongfeng didn't expect that they would treat him like this at all. He who didn't talk much before, was so moved that he was speechless all of a sudden.

"Oh! Look at your clumsy tongue, let me say it!"

Seeing that Dong Yongfeng hadn't spoken for a long time, Xu Meijiao simply said everything she heard.

"When we went to see a doctor in Lin Town today, we heard that there was a master carpenter in Lin County who was very skilled. We also heard that his skill in carving beams and painting columns was even more outstanding. He also said that the master's surname was Zhang. We I’ll come and tell you immediately after hearing this!”

The injuries on Xu Meijiao's face were not completely healed, even under the moonlight, she could still see a lot of redness and swelling.

"Is what you said true? Don't use this news to deceive us!"

Huang was the most excited one. She was holding onto Dong Yongfeng, but immediately let go and ran to Xu Meijiao.

"Mother, this is about the eldest sister. I dare not lie to you about the matter of the eldest sister! Besides, I dare not lie to you again. If it was not thanks to you that day, I am afraid that I would have been beaten by the evil guy in my family." died!"

Xu Meijiao reached out her hand to touch her face that hadn't healed yet, then bowed her head and smiled embarrassedly at Mrs. Huang and Meng Kejun.

Looking at Xu Meijiao in front of him, Meng Kejun faintly felt that she was a little different from before.When she came to the house before, she had never used such a good face to talk to them politely.
