Happy pastoral sturdy little lady

Chapter 46 Unexpected Joy 2
Does he want to hit someone?Da Ya couldn't help shaking her head, looking at the sky speechlessly.

After dinner, the family sat at the stone table in the yard and chatted under Da Ya's call.

Da Ya handed Liu Xiangchun a coarse cloth wallet: "Aniang, here is 30 taels of silver, you can use it to buy some chickens, ducks and geese. The honeysuckle on the honeysuckle mountain has grown very well, and now chickens, ducks and geese are stocked there. No problem at all!"

The alias of honeysuckle, Honeysuckle, Da Ya gave the small barren mountain a name: Honeysuckle Mountain.Originally, Erya also said that he could just call it Jinyinshan, but Daya vetoed it.After thinking for a long time, I finally remembered that honeysuckle is also called honeysuckle, so I simply took this name.

Liu Xiangchun took the purse and poured the money on the stone table, the whole family couldn't help but stare.

"Where did you get so much money?" Rao Shouqin was shocked, and hurriedly asked, afraid that the money came from a wrong way.He can accept that the family is a little poor, but if his children fail in school, he will not be able to bear it.

"Yeah, how come there are so many silvers? It took nearly two hundred taels of silver." Liu Xiangchun also quickly took her daughter's hand and asked with concern, her face full of worry.

She wasn't worried that her daughter would fail in her studies, but she was afraid that her daughter would agree to something that Jicuilou should not have agreed to for money.For example, working as a long-term worker or maid for Jicui Building.The daughter has a whole body of culinary skills, and it is not impossible for Jicuilou to buy her.

"Mother, don't worry, this money is obtained from my daughter selling recipes. My daughter sold dozens of recipes she learned from the gods to Jicuilou, and she also gave many good ideas to shopkeeper Su and Shaodong's family. The money It was the young owner who offered to give so much. There is a total of 500 taels. Don’t worry, use it. Big brother and Xiangxi go to study. There is plenty of money! Save a little, and the remaining three hundred or so taels will be enough for our family to spend ten years !"

Da Ya was very moved, she patted the back of Mother's hand with her calloused little hand, and said with a comforting smile.However, she still did not tell the truth and concealed the amount of silver.After all, 3000 taels of silver is a huge fortune.Parents are honest people, and Erya and Xiangxi are young, if they find out that a person from the old house accidentally tells the truth, it will be a disaster.

Hearing this, Rao Shouqin's heart fell to the ground: "That's good, the way is right, so I can rest assured!"

But Liu Xiangchun's eyes couldn't help sore, tears filled his eyes, and his voice was choked up: "My good boy, your hands are full of calluses, it's my mother who is sorry for you."

Think about Peony and Jasmine, their hands are white and tender, and they haven't done any rough work.As for my two daughters, when they were in the old house, they hunted pigweed, went to the mountains to collect firewood, and went to the fields to do farm work. What kind of work did they not do?That is to say, the family is separated, and there is less work to do. Otherwise, the two daughters' little hands will not be scarred and bloody everywhere throughout the year?

Liu Xiangchun couldn't help feeling sad, and burst into tears like rain: "My mother is sorry for you, my mother is useless, and made you suffer!" She hugged her eldest daughter, then her second daughter, and burst into tears.

While weeping, he cursed: "Rao Shouqin, in the future if you make a mess again and touch one of my children's fingers, I will make peace with you!"

Rao Shouqin was dumbfounded.He's obviously right, but why do all his wives and children blame him?It's not right, he shouldn't want to fight to the east, this is wrong.Xiang Dong has always been filial and obedient, he should be patient and not want to beat his son.

He reflected in his heart like this, if Da Ya knew that he actually thought this way, he would definitely be furious: Dad, you don't distinguish between priorities!Your biggest mistake is stupid filial piety, unprincipled obedience and compromise to the people in the old house!
However, Da Ya has no way of knowing what he thinks in his heart.

She didn't care about thinking too much, and hurried to comfort Liu Xiangchun: "Mother, don't cry, what's the matter? Daddy doesn't have any property. If he dares to make your mother sad, my daughter will definitely stand by your side!"

"Yes, yes, I will firmly stand on Mother's side!" Erya stretched her arms around Mother's neck, assuring her in a childish voice.

Xiang Xi nodded vigorously: "Mother, I am too!"

Liu Xiangchun laughed through tears, let go of her daughters embarrassingly, and went to fetch water to wash away the tears on her face.Then, I went to the backyard to collect the clothes.

Holding hands with Erya, Xiangxi went to sit on the lawn a zhang away, eating wild fruits and chatting.A straw mat is spread on the grass, which is the favorite place for children to sit, and they often sit there playing poker and chess.

The two children talked happily, as if they had forgotten him as their father, and called them several times, but the two of them only responded vaguely, and did not respond with enthusiasm and joy as usual.

Rao Shouqin was dumbfounded. He found that he was once again neglected by his wife and children, and he felt very uncomfortable.It seems that he didn't do anything unforgivable?Why are they ignoring him one by one?

Da Ya’s clothes are all dried in the backyard, on the bamboo poles in the grass outside the gazebo when it’s sunny, and in the gazebo when it’s rainy.

"Brother, let's go help mother!" Big Ya sensiblely pulled her brother, raised a torch, and followed behind mother.

Around the grassland, two big trees were planted, both of which were transplanted from the mountains, and each tree was more than ten years old.The bamboo poles for drying clothes are placed on the branches of two trees, which is very convenient.

When building the gazebo, several nails with hooks were pre-punched on the four pillars of the gazebo.When it rains, just hang the rope on a nail to make a good clothesline.

This idea was thought up by Dad Cheap.The wisdom of the ancient people should not be underestimated, and it is reflected in the tiny details of life.Da Ya admired her sincerely, without any intention of underestimating her.

"Be careful where you step, it's raining today, and the ground is very slippery!" Liu Xiangchun was very comforted by her filial sons and daughters, and she has regained her calm, reminding her very gently.

"Yes, mother, we know, you should also be careful!" Da Ya laughed loudly, and smiled with her eldest brother, happy that mother's mood improved.

After the separation, A Niang's personality changed a lot. Under the deliberate influence of Da Ya and her own awareness, she was no longer cowardly and submissive.Become much stronger and more cheerful.She sees many things very openly, and no longer despairs easily.Full of longing for the future life and full of enthusiasm for the current life.

Such a mother has completely entered Da Ya's heart, and Da Ya regards her as her biological mother to care for and love her.As a result, Da Ya's sense of belonging to this family was further promoted, and Da Ya felt more warmth.

Under the hazy moonlight, the mother and son were talking and laughing, collecting the clothes on the bamboo poles, and the shoes and socks hanging on the branches.Cheerful laughter fluttered in the night sky and was sent to the direction of the back mountain with the wind.

Fifth Uncle walked to the foot of the mountain, and was about to come to Da Ya's house, when he faintly heard that familiar laughter, the corners of his lips could not help but rise.Standing on the spot and thinking for a while, he smiled, turned around and walked up the mountain.

The younger sister and Xiangdong Xiangxi are smiling so happily, it seems that the troubles of the people in the old house going to make trouble have been solved, so there is no rush to go.It rained a lot today, and the mountain road is very slippery. It's not safe to walk at night, so let's go home early!Tomorrow morning, I will go to my sister's family again to see if there is anything that needs help.

When Uncle Wu's family heard Liu Xiangchun's cry, they thought Rao Shouqin was beating a woman, so they hurried over.As soon as he entered the door, he found that Da Ya brothers and sisters were joking and laughing, while Rao Shouqin lowered his head and smoked alone, looking both disappointed and sad.

Rao Shouzhuo was very surprised. He came to his elder brother and asked in a low voice: "Brother, what happened? I heard my sister-in-law crying just now. Did you make her sad?"

After several times of questioning, Rao Shouqin finally spoke.

"Isn't it because my mother brought people from the old house to make trouble? Xiang Dong and Xiang Xi went to the old house to ask for justice, but I refused to let them go. That brat Xiang Dong didn't know what was going on, he was having a firecracker fight Like a child, he choked with me. I couldn't help but want to hit him, but your sister-in-law cried, and the children ignored me."

In front of his always kind brother, he felt very wronged when he said something.

When Rao Shouzhuo heard it, he still didn't understand that his elder brother had committed the problem of foolishness and filial piety again.Alas, if he continues like this, sooner or later he will be divorced from his wife and children.Last time, my sister-in-law left without saying goodbye, and went back to her mother's house secretly.Could it be that he doesn't have a long memory?It seems that in the future, I have to tap him from time to time to prevent him from being confused again.

When the mother and son returned to the front yard, Erya and Xiangxi just came out with tea and cakes and wild fruits, and the eldest girl stepped forward to greet them warmly: "Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu, this cake was made by my wife and I." , try it!"

The fifth uncle and the fifth aunt were embarrassed, so they said politely: "No, we just had a full meal."

Shan Cha looked at the radish cake on the plate eagerly, drooling in his mouth, looking like he was salivating.

"Sister Shancha, this is radish cake, it's delicious." Erya quickly picked up a piece of radish cake and stuffed it into Shancha's hand.Immediately, without any explanation, he stuffed a piece into the hands of the fifth uncle, the fifth aunt, and Yunwu Yunshan.

"Thank you, Erya, this child is really sensible." Fifth Aunt smiled happily, reaching out to touch Erya's little head, Fifth Uncle smiled honestly, his eyes were full of relief and emotion.

The children of the eldest brother's family are all good-looking. They are kind, hardworking, and very sensible. They will be very promising in the future.Thinking about the children of the second brother and the third brother's family, his heart was filled with panic, but luckily the older ones were all good.Otherwise, Yunwu, Yunshan, Vanilla, and Camellia would not be able to find cousins ​​who could help them if they had any difficulties in the future.

Everyone sat around the stone table under the fragrant pear tree, drinking tea and chatting.

Da Ya took out 50 taels of silver and handed it to Rao Shouzhuo: "Uncle Wu, you can use the 50 taels of silver to buy stone materials. In autumn, both of us will build stone houses, so we will build them according to the materials of eight houses. A family of four stone houses!"

In fact, according to her original intention, she wanted to build a big house made of blue bricks.Helplessly, Shanqian Village is too far away from the brick kiln, and the shipping cost may cost dozens of taels of silver.In addition, the price of blue bricks is also high, which is really not worthwhile.

Uncle Wu was stunned when he heard this, and it took him a while to realize this time, and he stammered and asked, "My family also builds a stone house? Is the money for the stone materials coming from you?"

Da Ya nodded with certainty: "Yes, you heard me right!" She had already discussed this matter with her family, and they all agreed.

Uncle Wu hurriedly waved his hand and pushed the money back: "No way! How can I do it? Uncle Wu will build an adobe house, and he can live in some. When Uncle Wu saves money in the future and is able, he can build a stone house again. !"

Oh my god, he is already five years old, how can he have the nerve to ask his little niece to build a house with his hard-earned money?This child is not easy enough, the burden on the shoulders is already heavy, how can I be so ignorant as the fifth uncle?
Da Ya pushed the money over again: "Uncle Wu, you and Dad are two brothers who are directly related, and the relationship has always been very close. Now, our two families are neighbors, and we have to help and care for each other. This money is not for nothing. I gave it to you, but lent it to you, and when you have a good life and have more money, you can just pay it back! Family, don’t be so alien.”
