Farmer's happy event

Chapter 79

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, although there is no howling north wind, the weather is dry and cold, and it is cold to sit on the heated kang.

It was noon at this time, and there were not many pedestrians on the road. Liujiazhuang, which was already quiet, seemed even quieter at this time.Only the rising smoke shows some vitality.

Three well-dressed women walked up the potholed dirt road.

Two of them looked about forty, with ingots on their heads, plain silver hairpins on their heads, and ocher satin jackets on their bodies, and they were carefully supporting a woman who didn't look like a woman.

It is said that she does not look like a woman, because she looks only fourteen or fifteen years old, but she has already pulled a woman's hair in a bun.He was wearing a purple double-breasted jacket embroidered with peonies, and a big red and half-worn fur cloak was over it.She is short in stature, perhaps because she wears a lot of clothes, she looks a little bloated from a distance.

Accompanied by the woman's walking, the golden wintersweet spring step with the hairpin on her head swayed and swayed, and it was placed at the door of Shen's house.

"Auntie, be careful." One of the supporting women warned carefully.

Another supporting woman shouted, "Is there anyone at home?"

Mrs. Shen was busy cooking in the kitchen, and was about to call Mrs. Li to come over to help, when she heard a voice coming from the door, and hurried out of the kitchen.

Who is this?Wearing gold and silver, her family's ancestors have been digging in the soil for generations, and they have never met rich people.

"Who are you?" Shen asked, still holding a handful of straw in his hand.

The woman who was being supported smiled slightly and called out: "Ma'am."

Shen still didn't recognize who it was, and called her aunt, and she didn't have such a precious niece.

"Yo, it's Cuicui."

Shen Shi was staring at the woman's face and thinking carefully about who it was, when she suddenly saw Li Shi walking out with a big smile on her face.

This is Cuicui?Shen Shi looked again, and could see traces of shadows in a trance.But no matter what, it is difficult to connect this person in front of him with the little girl who used to have two braids and often came to play with Maizi.

I just know that she later went to a rich family to work as a maid, and now it seems that she is doing well.

"Why are you Jin Guiren here? It's cold outside, I've froze my body, get warm in the house, the wheat is here too." Li-shi asked Cui Cui into the house with a hush and warmth.

Seeing this, Shen didn't say hello anymore, and went back to the kitchen to continue cooking.

Maizi heard Cuicui coming in the house, hurriedly got off the kang, put on her shoes, and ran out of the house to meet her.

"It's been two years since you finally came." Maizi couldn't help but hold Cuicui's hand and said.

Back then, he had rough hands that were used to doing farm work, but now, his tentacles were slippery, and Maizi couldn't help feeling sour in his heart.

"Come on, quickly come into the house." Maizi said, pulling Cui Cui into the house.

The two women supporting Cuicui hurriedly said: "Miss, slow down, our aunt is pregnant, so we have to be careful."

Maizi was taken aback when he heard the words, then looked down and saw Cuicui's abdomen was slightly bulging even though she was wrapped in thick clothes.

Cuicui patted Maizi's hand and said with a smile, "It's okay, it's been three months anyway."

Maizi is two years younger than Cuicui, and now the overhangs are more neat.She is a head taller than Cui Cui, with fair skin, a small red mouth, and big eyes.However, looking at Cui Cui's clothes, and then at her own, she was suddenly dazzled by Cui Cui's full head of jewels.

When she came last time, she was just a girl who had just been taken over by the young master, but now she has been turned into a decent aunt and has a child.

"I'm back now, and I want to tell you something." Cui Cui looked at Li Shi and Maizi and said, then took Maizi's hand next to him and said, "Didn't you ask me to help you pay attention last time? This time, I finally found the right one.”

Maizi was overjoyed when she heard the words, she knew that she would never live a miserable life forever.

At this time, Mrs. Yang was also sitting on the kang, and a big red cloth was placed on the kang table, with a needlework dustpan beside it.

"Oh, mother, that's not the case." Li Zi yelled from time to time as she watched Yang's making clothes.

Yang glanced at her, and said impatiently: "You are a child, what do you know?"

Li Zi refused, pouted and said, "Anyway, that's not the case."

The last time I went to the market, I pulled the ruler, and while I had nothing to do, I wanted to rush to make the new clothes for the whole family for the New Year.Li Zi pestered her every day, so Yang had no choice but to make it for her first.

Unexpectedly, when Mrs. Yang was making clothes, Li Zi kept watching from the sidelines. What was even more unbearable was that she would say no such thing here, and no such thing there, and the noisy Mrs. Yang wanted to slap her. go aside.

"The sleeves need to be tightened!" Li Zi grabbed Yang's hand, asking her to change her needlework.

Mrs. Yang was really annoyed, so she had to say: "Okay, okay, when the time comes, you won't be able to wear your clothes, so don't cry!"

"No." Lizi pouted and said, she saw the clothes worn by the people in the paintings, isn't it all the same?Obviously very nice.

Lianzi opened the curtain and entered the room, and the heat in the room made her feel much more comfortable.

"Mother, have you bought the stick seeds yet?" Lianzi asked Yang.

Mrs. Yang continued to sew clothes, and said: "Your father is still inquiring, it's not easy to buy good seeds."

But she was thinking in her heart, these two girls were born in the same womb, they are only one year apart, why is there such a big difference?A person who thinks about flowers, pinks, and clothes all day long is so smug.The other was thinking about the land and the crops all day long, trying to figure out how to make money.There is really no normal one, not as well-behaved as millet and beans.

Even though she thought so, there was still a smile on the corner of Yang's mouth.These four daughters are no worse than the other.

The [-] acres of land were left uncultivated after the sweet potatoes were harvested.The lotus seeds plan to bloom in spring next year, and after the peanuts are planted, they will plant sticks there.The yield of cobs is high, and field management is relatively easy, and the requirements for land are not high, so it is the most suitable place for planting.

Once the new year is over, fish fry will also be thrown in the fish pond, and it will officially start operation.Next year will be destined to be a very busy and fulfilling year.

Over there in his hometown, the Shen family had already prepared lunch, but Cui Cui hadn't left yet.She expected that Cuicui would definitely not have dinner at home, so she didn't call them, she brought the meal to the main room by herself, and called Chunzi and Liu Jinglin over to eat.

After eating in the main room, Mrs. Shen was washing the dishes when she saw Mrs. Li and Maizi bringing Cuicui out.The faces of the two were flushed, as if they had found money.

Shen Shi was angry that Li Shi didn't help her with cooking, now seeing Li Shi and Maizi enter the main room, she didn't want to see them.

"Is there no food?" Mrs. Li asked, looking at the clean dishes on the table.

Shen Shi was naturally upset, and said, "Where can I get food if I don't cook?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Li didn't roll her eyes or curl her lips this time. Instead, she smiled and said to Mrs. Shen: "Mother, let me tell you something, my Maizi is going to be the master of a rich family."

Shen sneered: "It's hysteria!"

"Really," said Li hurriedly, "Just now Cui Cui said that there is a rich family who wants to buy a maid, so she recommended my Maizi."

Shen Shi felt it was ridiculous, could it be that she wanted to be rich and crazy?The servant girl still wants to be the master?
Seeing that Shen didn't believe it, Mrs. Li said again: "Mother, don't you believe it. That Cuicui came here today to ask us what we mean. If it works, she will go there after the new year. Although she is only a maid in name , but that is also the servant girl next to the master, but she just wants to buy an aunt."

The more she talked, the happier she was, and she continued: "As long as Maizi goes, I will definitely become an aunt. At that time, we are still afraid that we will be short of money?" Li Shi looked at Shen Shi, and suddenly put on an exaggerated expression Said: "Did you not look at that Cui Cui? She is also an aunt. When she goes out, she is accompanied by her mother-in-law, so she can take care of her. When I go back to my mother's house during the Chinese New Year, just the things I brought can fill a box full."

When Mrs. Li said this, she took a look at Maizi: "Just relying on our Maizi, when the time comes, we will definitely send back more to our family than hers!"

"Mother, do you think this is okay?" Mrs. Li asked Mrs. Shen for her opinion.

Shen didn't raise her head, she continued to work on the work at hand, and said in her mouth: "Haven't you already agreed? Why are you still asking me? On the left and right are your own daughters, what are you doing?"

She thought it was wrong at first, but when she heard Mrs. Li say that she brought back so many good things, she thought to herself, girls are losers anyway, and it's the same to marry anyone, so it's better Get more benefits.Besides, this wheat is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and she is happy and pure even if she is married far away.

Of course Mrs. Li likes what she said, and the smile on her face instantly widened, and she said to Mrs. Shen, "Then give me some money and cut some new clothes for Maizi. When you arrive at someone's house, you can't dress too much." Shabby."

"What money do you want?" As soon as Li's words fell, Shen's shouted, "Didn't you say that you are the master? The master can't even afford a piece of clothing? You still have to ask your mother's family for it?"

"Isn't this an emergency? After all, you have to leave a good impression on people, right?" Li said again.

However, Mrs. Shen still said that she had no money, and she would not let go at all, and would not give even a single star.

Mrs. Li knew her mother-in-law's temperament deeply, and knew that she could no longer ask for money from her, so she took Maizi out of the main room, muttering inaudibly: "Damn old woman, save so much money to buy a coffin! "

The main task of Cuicui coming back this time is to send a message to Maizi.It was only because Cuicui's master family wanted to make friends with the family who wanted to buy the maid, so she was allowed to come back.

The family specially allocated a woman and a carriage to follow, and brought some rewards for the servants, which can be regarded as a little bit of her face.Otherwise, she wouldn't be allowed to mess around outside while pregnant with her own child.In case she didn't pay attention to what happened, she would be fine if she bumped into it herself, but if it affected the child, it would be an unforgivable crime.

"Maizi, when you get there, you have to be careful, especially with the lady." Li Shi said to Maizi, at first it sounded like he was teaching with earnestness, but if you listen carefully, It seems to have changed taste again.
