Rebirth Farmer Yaomei

Chapter 87 New Year's Eve
Sure enough, Ning Liang and Yu Shi not only believed it, but also praised Ning Wan, "Wan'er is smart, she can ask for information faster than others."

Mrs. Yu said: "For the New Year's gift of other people's family, we will send some soil and objects from the mountains, but the second young master Lu is our family's benefactor, so it can't be too thin, why don't you and your father go to Hutai County and spend ten taels and 20 yuan?" Buy some high-quality gift boxes for two silver coins."

A whole room of furniture was bought at home, but only a few taels of silver were spent, and Yu Shi was so distressed that she grumbled about it for a long time, but now she is reluctant to buy New Year's gifts for Lu's family.Ning Wan smiled, "That's not necessary, Second Young Master Lu is a magnanimous person and doesn't care about these small things. Besides, we are from the mountain village, as long as we express our feelings, it's fine. It's just that Young Master Lu is not at home right now, his mother Living alone, it’s not good for Dad to go there alone, it’s better for me to go with Dad.”

Mrs. Yu nodded after hearing this, "Accordingly, I should go too, but the stone is too small, and I see that Master Lu's mother doesn't seem to like talking to people very much, I'm afraid she won't be happy if she says something wrong."

Ning Wan understands her mother's hesitation, she is afraid of dealing with Madam Wu.But in fact, going to pay New Year's greetings to Mrs. Wu is also stressful, after all, Mrs. Wu is so weird.But for the face of Second Young Master Lu, she must go.Just like before at the Zhao family, she always had to deal with people she didn't like because of family affairs. In comparison, Mrs. Wu is not an annoying person, she is just a little weird.

But mother didn't need it, Ning Wan shook her head and said: "The stone is too small to be separated from people, mother can watch my brother at home, I will bring my heart to you for mother."

The next day, Ning Wan changed into brand new clothes, which were exactly the ones her mother made for the New Year: a pomegranate red silk skirt, a light green cotton-padded jacket, the collar and sleeves were inlaid with a fine white tooth, it took a lot of work , It was the first time to get on the body today.

Because she couldn't go by herself, Mrs. Yu devoted herself to grooming her daughter, combing her hair with shavings water to make it black and smooth, braid it into a thick braid, and at the end of the braid, wrap it with red silk for three inches long, and finally tie it into a braid. Duo Hua said again: "If the golden hairpin given by Mrs. Wu hadn't been sold at that time, it would be even better to insert it now."

Girls who are not yet married are not good at wearing expensive jewelry, but this is not the case during the Chinese New Year, so Yu sighed.Ning Wan smiled, "These two beaded flowers are still the most suitable for me." She pinned them to her temples, and put on a pair of light twisted silk silver bracelets that she bought in Hutai County a few days ago. , and replaced the daily silver cloves with a pair of shiny silver gourd earrings on her ears, and shook them gently in the mirror, and the pair of silver gourds swayed gently, Ning Wan also smiled, "Mother, Don't you think I'm so pretty?"

Mrs. Yu laughed, "Daughter's home is so refreshingly dressed, it really looks better than the one full of gold and jade!"

"Mother, it's because my daughter is good-looking, so she looks good no matter how she dresses up!" Ning Wan is not boasting, Mrs. Zhao must first be beautiful when picking a daughter-in-law, and she will have face when she takes it out. , but she is the most beautiful.Of course, because of her beauty, she also encountered a few very bad things. Several people, including her uncles and uncles, thought about her that they shouldn't have. The wife said that sometimes she felt that beauty was not a good thing.

However, people are contradictory. They obviously feel that beauty is not good, but Ning Wan sees herself in the mirror becoming more and more handsome, but she is still involuntarily happy in her heart.He was still smiling when he walked out of the house.

Ning Liang then brought a donkey over, "Wan'er, ride the donkey, be careful not to stain your skirt."

Today, I only gave New Year's gifts to Hutai County, and the things were not very heavy, so Ning Liang made an empty head for his daughter to sit on.Ning Wan stepped up, and at this moment, Mother came out and covered her lap with a small quilt, "It's cold outside, don't sit for too long."

Ning Wan rode out of the house on the back of a donkey covered with flowers, thinking: "This time, I must buy two hand stoves when I go to Hutai County, and then I will also buy some charcoal." Although many things have been added to the house, but I can't remember things like the hand stove because I haven't used them.

In the winter in Liaodong, although the sun has risen high and is bright red, it does not spread much heat to the earth. Although Ning Wan is dressed thickly and covered with a small quilt, she still feels that the north is still there after walking for more than half an hour. The wind was about to blow her through.She called out "Daddy, stop!" and jumped off the donkey, "I'll walk with you."

After walking for a while, her body became hot, but Ning Wan never got back on the donkey's back, "Although I'm a little tired, it's still a good walk."

When the two arrived in Hutai County, they went to a wonton shop and ordered two bowls of warm wontons. They felt warm all over, and then went to the Wangyuan Building to wait for a few new year gifts.

After turning around and leaving the city, she walked towards the old house of the Lu family. Although Ning Wan knew the general direction, she had never been there after all, so she asked a few people along the way to find it.

Seeing from afar that there was no one deserted in front of Lu's house, Ning Wan quietly let out a breath.Before coming here, she was worried that Commander Lu would go back to the old house for the New Year.She wasn't afraid to see Commander Lu, but then she would have to "know" that Second Young Master Lu was Commander Lu's son. She felt that Second Young Master Lu didn't seem to want to tell others, and she didn't want to. Willing to "know" it.

This old house of the Lu family looks very ordinary from the outside, almost blending with the surrounding rows of houses, with the same blue brick wall, the same black courtyard door, and the black paint on the two door knockers has long been mottled. Ning Wan felt cool holding it in her hands.She stepped forward and knocked on the door, and immediately heard a ferocious dog barking, which scared her so much that she almost turned around and ran away.

Ning Liang was also a little frightened when he heard the dog barking, and no one came to answer the door for a while, so he said: "This dog is scary just by hearing the sound, so let's go."

Ning Wan said, "Since you're here, let's wait a little longer." She knocked on the door again with an iron ring.

Finally, an old woman's voice came out, "Is someone here?"

Hearing that she seemed uncertain, Ning Wan hurriedly said loudly: "Yes, let's pay New Year's greetings to Mrs. Wu."

The door opened from the inside, and an old woman with gray hair looked at the Ning father and daughter suspiciously, "Who are you?"

Ning Wan smiled and said, "We are from the Ning family in Sanjia Village. Second Young Master Lu once helped our family a lot, and our whole family is very grateful to him. Today we are here to pay New Year's greetings to Mrs. Wu."

When the old woman heard the name of Master Lu Er, some smiles appeared on her face, "It turns out that he is someone our young master knows! Come in quickly." She let them sit in the back seat at the door, and Seeing that Ning Wan kept looking at the two barking dogs, she comforted them, "It's raised by our young master. It's kept on a leash during the day and only released at night. Don't be afraid. You sit down first, and I'll tell our wife to come." Guests."

The father and daughter of the Ning family sat down on the two lower chairs, and while the old lady was leaving, they looked around the house. This place is obviously a place for guests, there is no Kang, and a black table top is placed in the middle. A lacquered wooden table with a pair of bronze tripods on it, and a picture of a tiger descending the mountain is hung on the wall behind it, the wide chairs on both sides of the table are covered with tiger skins, the tail of the tiger is hung behind the chair, and the head of the tiger is placed on the footrest , very mighty.From these two chairs down, there are two rows of wooden chairs, but the top is covered with gray rabbit fur, and the footrests below are also empty.

Ning Wan has learned a lot, but she is still very curious about these two tiger skins. Although the Zhao family had many mink skins, wolf skins, lynx skins, sheep skins, and rabbit skins, she also had dozens of fur clothes. But there was no tiger skin, so he got up and touched it, then sat on the tiger skin, put his feet on the tiger's head, and beckoned to Dad, "It turns out that the tiger skin seat is like this when you sit up, Dad, hurry up." Come and try!"

"It's not easy for us to sit around," Ning Liang said, but couldn't help but stepped forward to touch her, but hurried back to his seat, "Wan'er come back quickly, wouldn't it be a joke for the Lu family to see it later?"

The Lu family's yard is not big, and it's not like the Zhao family has a second inner house. In fact, it's similar to the Ning's house, except that the house is made of bricks and taller.But if she wants to wait until Mrs. Wu sees her family, I'm afraid it won't be that fast.Ning Wan shook her head, but returned to her seat, because there was nothing to look at in the room except two tiger skins.Moreover, although the room was cleaned very clean and tidy, it was very cold, and it was obvious that no one had used it for a long time.

After a while, the old lady came back, but she brought a charcoal basin, put it at Ningliang's feet, and brought him a bowl of hot tea, "At present, only the wife is in our house, and my old man is gone too. Shopping in the county town, please sit alone for a while, and I will take the girl to see our wife."

Mrs. Wu didn't see the male guest, which was also expected.Ning Wan nodded to her father, got up and followed the old lady into the main room.

The main room of the Lu family’s old house is very spacious, with large kangs from the north and the south inside, and the kang cabinets and kang tables are placed on the kang like ordinary people, but the kang cabinets and kang tables of the Lu family are much more delicate, and auspicious patterns are painted on them. , and the big red felt spread on the kang also showed a bit of prosperity.

Mrs. Wu's dress was almost the same as the last time I saw her. She was still wearing blue silk clothes, but changed into thicker ones. There was an extra circle of gray rabbit fur on the collar, and a rabbit fur of the same color was added to wipe her forehead. Sitting at the kang table, although she smiled at Ning Wan, there was still a sickness in her expression that could not be erased.

Now she recognized Ning Wan, "So it's you!"

"I'm here to wish Mrs. Wu a happy new year!" Ning Wan leaned down while saying Fu, "Your father and my mother also send their greetings to Mrs. Wu!"

Mrs. Wu waved her hand on the kang, "You don't need to be polite, just sit on the kang."

Seeing that there were no tables and chairs on the ground, Ning Wan sat half her body on the edge of the Kang, and asked, "How is Madam recently?"

Mrs. Wu is not a long-lived person, and she can see that she has some sick looks right now. Ning Wan didn't know if she had asked a doctor to take a pulse, and there was no evidence, so she used this to remind her.

But Mrs. Wu didn't care, she shook her head, "My body has always been like this, and I'm used to it, so it doesn't matter." Then she asked, "What's the matter with Miss Ning?"

Ning Wan thought to herself, Mrs. Wu really can't speak, how can she ask the guest directly?It's just that she's gotten used to it, and this time she's really just paying New Year's greetings to Mrs. Wu, and accompanying her on behalf of Second Young Master Lu.One must know that it will take a long time for Second Young Master Lu to return home after arriving in Duolun, and Madam Wu only has one son, so one can imagine how sad she must be.

"I thought that our family started a business with the help of Second Young Master Lu, and now the business is still going wrong, so I picked the best mountain products from the family and gave them to my wife to taste."

Mrs. Wu had heard from her mother-in-law that a lot of mountain goods had been sent here, all of which were excellent, and they were not easy to buy outside, so she nodded, "It's hard for you to bother. If there are any difficulties in the business, I will I can't help with anything else, and I still have a few taels of silver." Mrs. Wu also heard from her son that the Ning family sold the jewelry she gave her, and she just realized that the things she gave that day were not suitable for the farmer's family, so she sincerely I want to help some more money.

"Where do we need Madam's money? Second Young Master Lu helped us a lot back then."

"After all, we still want to thank you. I heard from the doctor that if Tieshi's injury is not helped by you in time, I'm afraid he will be disabled for a lifetime." Mrs. Wu said seriously: "I will take as much money as I should." of."
