Chapter 66 The Secret of the Old House ([-])

Early the next morning, Mi Xiaowan picked up the pole and bucket and went to the hillside behind. Although the journey was not far, the difficulty was that it was all rugged mountain roads.

These wooden barrels are all the same size, one can hold forty to fifty catties of water, and the two buckets of water together weigh much more than Mi Xiaowan's weight, and the two buckets of water tremblingly did not walk for two Bu Mi Xiaowan staggered and almost didn't fall. Before she had time to rejoice that she didn't fall, Mi Xiaowan found that the water in the bucket had lost more than half, and it happened several times.

In the end, Mi Xiaowan had no choice but to only pick up half a bucket of water at a time, so that she could safely pick up the water back, but if this was the case, then it would take twice as much time for her.

Seeing Mi Xiaowan walking back and forth on the mountain road, Mrs. Zhang was not happy anymore. "That's your own daughter, why is it the same as the one I brought from outside? For such a small child, the most she can do is to clean and clean in other people's homes. It's fine if she doesn't enjoy great blessings with us. You still let her choose Shui, why are you so cruel!"

As she spoke, tears welled up in Zhang's eyes, and she recalled the past again.

"It's dad, why don't I pick it!" Mi Xiaoyue also felt distressed when she saw Mi Xiaowan carrying water silently.

"Okay, okay! You think I don't feel bad, she is willing. I think I did more than her when I was an apprentice, but it was hard for the first few days, and it will be fine later. She didn't This will not work in the future!" Mi Tianqing felt very uncomfortable when he saw that the two women were blaming him, and he also felt distressed, but there was nothing he could do!

Mrs. Zhang sniffed, knowing that what Mi Tianqing said was the truth, she sighed helplessly, accidentally touched the paper on her chest, and suddenly remembered something. "Well, you guys are busy in the morning, I'm going to the pharmacy in the county to get medicine!"

What Zhang said about taking medicine was naturally for Mi Tianqing, but only she and Mi Xiaowan knew that what she said about taking medicine was not just for Mi Tianqing.

"Bring some more safflower oil! Get the best kind!" Mi Tianqing said.

"What are you doing with safflower oil?" Mrs. Zhang was puzzled. "Where are you hurt?"

"No! Where am I hurt? What are you doing with safflower oil!" Mi Tianqing rolled his eyes and whispered. "Xiao Wan's shoulders and ankles will definitely be swollen tonight, buy some safflower oil and rub it for her!"

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhang picked up the basket without hesitation and left. Mrs. Zhang went to the county town to grab the medicine and thought of Mi Xiaowan's gluttonous appearance last night, feeling sad, and her heart sank. Anyway, the old lady didn't want the 20 taels anymore. Why can't the two girls be wronged now, turned around and went to the cloth shop to tear two feet of floral cloth for Mi Xiaoyue, another six feet of dark blue fine cotton cloth for Mi Xiaowan's bunt, and four feet of white cotton Jin makes her underwear.

After tearing up the calico, Mrs. Zhang went to the market again, and bought pork and pig bones. Xiao Wan was fine, but Xiao Yue was too thin. She was reluctant to lose them when she was growing up.

"Mi's sister-in-law!" A clear voice sounded behind Mrs. Zhang.

When Mrs. Zhang looked back, she saw Mrs. Li and Mrs. Wu walking together. "You two are coming to the county too!"

"That's right! I'm here to sell some food, sister-in-law is here to buy something?" Mrs. Wu said looking at Mrs. Zhang's full basket.

"En! Come and sell some things for their father!" People are in good spirits every happy event, no matter who they talk to, Mrs. Zhang always has a smile on her face, let alone the sisters who play better on weekdays.
