Yoshida Mii

Chapter 93 Xiao Xu's Father

"That's right, Second Aunt Song didn't like this kind of division. She argued with Grandma Song and said that the division should be divided according to the male head, and the Mao Mao in her stomach will also be counted as one!" Quanzi said with a smile.

Dong Bao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, Second Aunt Song really had the nerve to say it out loud, yelling every day that she was a "golden grandson" in her stomach, and if she was born a girl, what would happen to her.

"Hey, it's noisy and noisy every day, making people feel uncomfortable." Aunt Qiuxia also sighed, her face was not good-looking, "When the quarrel started, the two of them sat on the ground and cried, crying and wiping away their tears. Noisy! Noisy neighbors all have grievances. Dongbao’s baby girl will be like that all her life. Let’s not say anything, but Dongbao’s second aunt is still pregnant with Mao Mao, so she has to think about her child. Don't be afraid of hurting the child!"

In fact, Aunt Qiuxia's most worried thing was kept in her heart and she didn't say anything. Huang and Aunt Song scolded them for being vulgar, and they could say anything. Quanzi is still young, if he learns these messy words What's the matter?But the quarrel between the Song family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is a housework, and she can't take care of it.

Mrs. Li sighed and shook her head, "Her second aunt is so courageous, I dare not talk to Dong Bao. For more than ten years, I have to do whatever she says, for fear of her scolding. Dong Bao She swears at people, it's really unbearable."

"Mom, my grandma just took into account that you are afraid of her scolding, so she can bully you vigorously and ask you to do this and that." Dong Bao said, "Before you did all the work, she still Crying that she is not blessed to enjoy the service of her daughter-in-law. I see, my grandma regrets it now, and shouldn't tell us to separate the family!"

If Mrs. Li was as lazy and aggressive as Second Aunt Song, she wouldn't be bullied.However, Dong Bao felt that even if Li Shi was not so honest and kind, she might not live a good life. Her talented father was filial piety. If Li Shi dared to neglect the Song family in the slightest, he might not be able to make trouble with Li Shi. .

"Auntie, what Dong Bao said is right, if Grandma Song wants you to go back to Song's house again, you must not let go." Lin Shi said solemnly.

Mrs. Li nodded with a smile, "I know, don't worry, Dashi, I know this matter well. It's not that I said that the elders are not good. How have I treated the old Song family these years, and how has the old Song family treated me? Dongbao's grandma In my heart, there is only the third child and her grandson. When returning to the Song family, Dongbao will suffer the most."

She is a mother, and she already feels guilty for not being able to earn money to make her daughter suffer. In the days to come, she has to protect her daughter and prevent Dong Bao from being bullied by the Song family.

Quanzi took Xiaoxu to the village to play. Dashi could see that Quanzi was just being lazy and didn't want to learn characters, so he gave him a day off and led Dongbao to review the characters he had learned before.

Aunt Qiuxia and Mrs. Li chatted about the housework for a while, and then got up to say goodbye, explaining that the wheat harvest would start tomorrow, and they had to go home and prepare.In addition to Lin Shi, the Lin family has four strong laborers, and one whole child can be used as half a laborer, but the Lin family has a lot of land, and four and a half laborers may not be enough.In addition to being busy with field work, Aunt Qiuxia had to rush home to cook and deliver food to the field.

Dong Bao, who was writing, raised his head when he heard the words, and smiled at Aunt Qiuxia: "Auntie, we won't be selling tofu these days, so you don't have to worry about cooking. My mother and I have made it and sent it to you .”

"How can this work?" Aunt Qiuxia was embarrassed, "You only have two people, and our family is five. It's a hot day, and cooking is tiring!"

Mrs. Li waved his hand, "That's the deal, you have to be polite to me, don't you treat me as an outsider? Just give me a few days' food, it won't waste much time."

Aunt Qiuxia smiled and said, "Well, I won't be polite to you anymore, and I'll ask Dashi to deliver food to you tomorrow. If the head of my family knows that I can eat Dongbao's dishes, I will definitely be secretly happy!"

"Uncle Lin likes to eat, as long as he likes it!" Dong Bao smiled, and suddenly thought of a way. During the busy farming season, many people must be so busy these days that they don't even have the time to cook. If she can sell the food, Sales should be good.However, Dong Bao laughed when he thought about it. It was only her and Li Shi. Cooking was time-consuming and energy-intensive, and it was not easy to sell it in other villages. The rice sold in Tagou Ji was all from the villagers. money?

At this meeting, Guizi pushed a small rack cart over, called "Aunt Xiucai", pushed the cart into the yard, and unloaded four bags of beans from the cart.

Mrs. Li quickly responded with a smile, and went to the house to get money for Takako.

A string in Dongbao's head was immediately connected. Wasn't she worried that no one would help sell the tofu? Brother Guizi is a ready-made good candidate!
After Guizi left, Dongbao discussed with Li Shi, "Mother, how do you see Brother Guizi? Let's make tofu and let him pick it up and sell it in other villages in the afternoon, okay?"

Mrs. Li also thinks this is a good idea, the old man has little land, otherwise he would not have thought about opening a grocery store to make money, the noble son is quite honest and honest.

"Cheng, let's go talk to your old Uncle Cheng later, he will definitely be willing." Li Shi said.

In the afternoon, after Lin Shi left, Dong Bao soaked thirty catties of beans.Gui Zhi, who came to help grind the beans, had already told Mrs. Li this morning that the family was busy with farming and would not be able to come to work for a few days.Mrs. Li granted her leave and paid her wages in advance. Gui Zhi went home happily, and before leaving, she kept promising that she would come to work after finishing the work in the field.

Dong Bao stirred the beans in the basin with a wooden stick, and slowly calculated with Mrs. Li, cooking meals for his own family and Lin's family, he got five catties of tofu a day, and the remaining 80 catties were all carried by Guizi, and let him Let's see how it goes.

Sitting by the well, Mrs. Li was cleaning the vegetables sent by Aunt Qiuxia, and said with a smile, "You can do as you see fit. If you can't sell them all, we'll share them with the village leaders. You can't be blind!"

Can't be blind is a local dialect of Tagouji, which means not to be wasted.

"Hey." Dong Bao replied with a smile. She liked Li Shi very much, and discussed everything with her, and respected her opinion.

At this meeting, someone knocked on the door of the house.Dong Bao hurriedly got up and asked, "Who is it?"

"Is it Dong Bao's house?" The person outside the door shouted, "I'm Brother Liang from the town."

Dong Bao looked at Li Shi in surprise, and hurried to open the door. Brother Liang led a man in his thirties to stand at the door. When Dong Bao opened the door, the man eagerly looked into the yard.

"Hey, Brother Liang! Why... did you find my house?" Dong Bao asked with a smile. There were only her and Mrs. Li at home, and Dong Bao couldn't decide whether to invite the two of them in.

Mrs. Li also washed her hands and rushed over.

Brother Liang took a step sideways, and introduced to Dong Bao: "Dong Bao, this is the official of our Yuanshui Town, Mr. Yan, and also my boss."

Dong Bao and Li Shi were a little surprised at the same time, and Li Shi respectfully saluted Master Yan, "I have met Master Yan."

Having been in ancient times for such a long time, Dongbao has a little understanding of the system of the Great Zhou. The official is equivalent to the mayor, but he is not an "official" in the strict sense of the Great Zhou. ", and there is no big opportunity for promotion.However, for the ordinary people in Tagouji, this unranked official is already considered a parent official who surpasses the sky.

Mr. Yan doesn't look very old. He looks like he is in his early thirties. His clothes are half-new. They are linen gowns that men often wear in summer. His face is a bit dark. His expression is very serious, and his unsmiling appearance really fits his surname. ,"strict".

"You don't need to be too polite." Master Yan waved his hands and asked eagerly, "Did your family take in a boy?"

Mrs. Li was stunned for a moment, panicked in her heart, nodded and said: "Yes... my lord, we... We only asked him to come to our house because he had no food, no place to live, and was bullied by old beggars." It's..." Mrs. Li's heart was agitated, it's never good for officials to come to the door, and it's hard to explain why people meet officials.Adopting a child can attract officials to come to your door, isn't this a disaster!If they are accused of kidnappers, they will not be cleared by jumping into the Yellow River!

"Auntie, don't be afraid." Seeing that Li's face turned pale, Brother Liang quickly expressed relief, "We know that you have good intentions, not a kidnapper with a bad conscience."

"Yes! Yes!" Dong Bao also hurriedly said, "We took him home just because he was pitiful. Today, my mother and auntie were still in town to find out who lost their child. If the head of his family came to recognize him , and return the child.”

Lord Yan hurriedly asked, "What about the child?"

At this meeting, three boys, Quanzi, Shuanzi and Xiaoxu walked over from the main road shoulder to shoulder, holding a willow branch, you pat me, and I pat you, like brothers. .

However, as soon as Xiao Xu saw Mr. Yan and Brother Liang at the door, he immediately ran out like a mouse seeing a cat, his expression changed, and he ran out.

Yan Da angrily rolled up his sleeves and chased after him, shouting sharply: "Stop!"

Quanzi and Shuanzi were stunned on the spot, and when they came back to their senses, they immediately shouted to Xiaoxu: "Run! Run!" Seeing how ugly this man's face is, if Xiaoxu is caught by him, nothing good will happen. eat.

After all, Xiaoxu was a child, and he was caught by Lord Yan before he could take two steps, and brought back with his head upside down under his armpit, his hands and feet still kicking in the air, and he kept shouting: "Put me down, let me go!" I'm coming down!"

Master Yan slapped Xiao Xu's butt firmly.

Xiao Xu groaned, and burst into tears, yelling: "You kill me! You kill me! You kill me and I can marry a new wife!"

Mr. Yan's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he was not polite, so he slapped him several times.

Mrs. Li was in a hurry, and didn't care too much, stepped forward to stop Master Yan, and persuaded: "My lord, the child is not sensible, you should reason with him more, don't just beat the child!"

"That's right." Brother Liang also hurried to persuade him, and took Lord Yan's slap, "Boss, Xiao Xu is not sensible, don't be so arrogant, how can father and son have an overnight feud?"
