Rebirth Farmhouse

Chapter 107

When the man saw the little girl in the car talking, he tilted his head and glanced, his eyes were full of scrutiny, and he was still sharp and cold. Although Xiuyao was afraid, she still bit her lip and bravely looked at him. A dodge of the eyes will cause the father to be hacked to death.

At this time, a cold voice came from behind, "Mr. Chen Qian, they are the people of Taoyuan Village, not thieves." A man rode over and took a look at Xiuyao.

Although he was wearing armor and a military cap on his head, Xiuyao still recognized him as Qi Feng.

Qi Feng glanced at them and said: "We are hunting for a few human traffickers, you don't have to be afraid, just go to work." Then he rode his horse to catch up.

Qin Dafu was so frightened that he didn't dare to look up at Qi Feng, he didn't listen carefully to what he said, only the shining blade was in his eyes, and the sound of horseshoes was rumbling in his ears.

Qin Ye supported him, "Father, they have all gone away, they are catching traffickers."

Xiuyao looked at the direction in which the group of cavalry were going away, but she was a little puzzled. Even if it was a few human traffickers, they still needed to dispatch the cavalry in such a big way. She was also curious about Qi Feng, whether he was from the Golden Sword Gang or the Long Spear Gang. Become a soldier again?
Seeing that it wasn't a robber or a servant who just took a scapegoat, Qin Dafu also took his soul away. He looked at Qin Ye's children, and asked Xiuyao, "You're scared, it's okay."

Xiuyao and the others said it was all right.

Gradually, the day dawned, white belly floated in the east, and the sun showed a little head, which also reflected the blue sky and the earth was bright.

Even though there was such a small episode, they still had to make a note. They went to Phoenix Mountain, Qin Dafu and Qin Ye made a note, and Xiuyao led Qin Yang around, picking up some seeds, and the harvest was quite good. Abundant.

It was already evening when they came back from making notes, and they still had to tie them up in bundles, tie them to big stones, and sink them to the bottom of the river to soak.It can be dragged up in the spring of the next year. At that time, the slivers are soaked and soft, and you can weave them in any way you want without any effort, and the slivers are more resilient.

In addition to making slivers, they also went to the Shahe River to cut a cart of cattails and put them at home for later use, so they could weave cattail socks in winter.Originally, the old Qin family used to dig cellars in the courtyard in winter and weave sorghum mats, but now that the family has been separated, Qin Dafu can no longer weave mats.Now there is no sorghum straw at home, and he has no materials for weaving mats, so he can only weave straw sandals.

In addition to self-use, you can also exchange some money back to subsidize the family.

Regarding the dangerous things encountered on the road, Qin Dafu only said that when he came back, he only said that he was caught by an official to arrest human traffickers, and he didn't say anything about being pointed at with a knife, for fear of scaring Liu and the others.

But Qin Yang had to imagine it by himself, and then explain it to others with embellishments. It seemed that he would become such a majestic general, riding a tall horse, clad in stamina, and brave and invincible.

In a few days, Qin Ye and Qin Ergui were going to work together again, and they wouldn't be back until the end of the year. They were in charge of rations, and they could give a few cents a day as a subsidy.Originally, Qin Dafu's family didn't need to go, but Qin Ye wanted to earn some money for the family, so he went with his second uncle.

This day, Xiuyao took Qin Yang to hug the grass and came back. The two were shivering with cold. When they passed by their grandfather's house, Xiuli ran out and saw them shouting: "Sister, Yangyang, auntie is here, I I'm going to call you."

Xiuyao gave her the sour dates she picked up, "Well, I'll tell you when I get home." She said to Qin Yang, "Little Yang'er, you can go directly to Mammy's house and say hello to Elder Aunt."

Qin Yang agreed, and went to the mother-in-law's house with Xiuli. Xiuyao brought the grass home and told her mother by the way.

Mrs. Liu was at home with Xiuqin Xiurong combing the soaked shop for Qin Dafu with an iron comb. When she heard Xiuyao say that her aunt was here, she got up and wiped her hands, and said to the two daughters: "You two first Come on, I'll go and have a look. When your father and Er Xian come back, let them go too."

Xiuqin and Xiurong agreed, and continued to comb her cattail. Xiuyao drank her saliva and came out and asked, "Where are father and second brother?"

Xiurong said: "I was asked to help dig the cellar."

Xiuyao hummed, and said: "Eldest sister, third sister, then I'll go and see my eldest aunt." After saying that, she ran to her grandfather's house.

The three aunts basically only come back when they go back to their mother's house in the first month, and they seldom come back on weekdays.One is that the road is far away, and the other is that there are parents-in-law at home, so there is a lot of work and there is no freedom.Third, Mrs. Zhang didn't want them to come back all the time, they were so busy, it was not easy to come back.

So now it's not the New Year or the holidays, what is Auntie doing when she comes back?
Xiuyao was curious, so she wanted to take a look, otherwise she wouldn't have taken the initiative to go to Nanny's house to see people's faces.

Xiuyao's eldest aunt's family is better off, so she doesn't suffer too much, but there is a powerful mother-in-law no less than Zhang's, who takes her a little too far.She was submissive at her husband's house, but when she returned to her mother's house, she felt that she was quite decent, at least much better than the three younger sisters-in-law, so she was quite imposing in her speech, and especially liked to meddle in some matters of her mother's family.

Xiuyao leaned over and saw that her aunt was wearing a thick maroon cotton coat, her hair was tied up in a bun that was popular in the country, she had a silver-plated copper hairpin on her head, and silver pendants on her ears. She looked fair and fat, very rich, She called out, "Auntie."

Aunt Qin glanced at her, hummed, a little serious, "Yaoyao is eight years old, she is a big girl, she should help the house more."

Xiuyao immediately said: "Auntie, I just came back from hugging the grass."

Aunt Qin hummed, "That's good, help the family more, and the whole family will have hope."

Hearing that she came to preach when she returned to her mother's house, Mrs. Zhang's face sank, "You come back once a year, so don't talk about it, just talk about serious things."

Aunt Qin smiled, "Mother, my mother-in-law said, we are in-laws, let me come back and walk around more often, I can't get away all the time, or I will come back twice a year."

She said to Liu Shi again: "I just heard our mother said that the family is separated. I really didn't expect it. Daye's mother is still a family after the separation. You can't have a separation with your parents. You have to do anything. Think about your parents first."

Liu Shi smiled and said, "Eldest sister, don't worry."

The second aunt who was standing in the main room heard this, curled her lips, and said angrily: "I don't think about this when my mother's family sends something, of course I should swallow it myself."

Aunt Qin glanced at it, and shouted: "Ergui's family, if you have something to say, come in and say, why are you muttering outside, making people look petty."

The second aunt snorted, turned around and walked out, refusing to listen to her ramblings.

Seeing that her second aunt didn't come in, Aunt Qin said to Mrs. Zhang: "Mother, you are more and more indulgent to your daughters-in-law now. What kind of rules is this? It's a joke. If my mother-in-law is still like this when she comes to the house, she should have taken a stick." Knock on."

The third aunt came over and smiled: "Elder sister, the second sister-in-law didn't hear that she went to dry the grass."

Aunt Qin snorted, and then said to Zhang: "Mother, you won't send me a letter when you split up. I'll come back and have a look."

Mrs. Zhang said: "What can you do when you come back? You can give the family two more acres of land."

Aunt Qin saw that Mrs. Zhang looked unfriendly, so she smiled and said: "I don't care about the land, but why don't you bring some things back?" She turned to Mrs. Liu and said, "Da Yeniang, I brought a bellows back, and in addition There are a few feet of cloth, and some bits and pieces of needlework, although they are inconspicuous, they are all good things. You have just distributed them, so there must be nothing left, so let them be used by you.”

Mrs. Liu knows the temper of the elder aunt, she is kind to others but not forgiving, and she also talks about things, if she gives something and you don't thank Dade for keeping it, then you will offend her.

Pushing and shoving is also inappropriate at the mother-in-law's place. When dealing with Aunt Qin, you have to accept her things, and then give the money back, without leaving any excuses, otherwise you will be entangled in the future.

Liu Shi naturally didn't refuse when she was concerned, she said with a smile: "Thank you big sister, we are worried about how to cook without a bellows."

Mrs. Zhang glanced at her and said, "I thought you could ask Yangliu Village to make a bellows and deliver it."

Seeing that her mother-in-law said again that she wanted things from her natal family, Xiuyao said loudly, "Nurse, we didn't tell my grandpa's about our separation, and they don't know about it. Besides, my grandpa just gave it to me before." They don't have so many idle things for a stone of grain from us."

When Zhang saw her talking back, Yang was about to slap her, so Xiuyao ran out. Qin Yang said to Zhang, "Don't hit my sister." He also ran out and refused to be hugged by Zhang.

Aunt Qin hurriedly said: "Mother is like this. If people want to give it, they will give it on their own initiative. If Daye Niang asks for it, she will have to ask. Her natal family also has brothers and sisters. We sisters will help if we can. He The second and third aunts haven't come back?"

Mrs. Zhang said: "I'm busy, so I don't have time to come back." Besides, the second aunt and the third aunt are not as well married as the eldest aunt, and they can't bring anything with them when they come back. They also waste time and keep the family busy, so it's better to come back less often trip.

Aunt Qin said that the second aunt and the third aunt were wrong, and she had to come back a few times to see her parents and so on. Mrs. Zhang hurriedly said, "You should leave immediately, or stay overnight."

Aunt Qin said: "Mother, it will be midnight when we go back, we will leave early tomorrow morning."

When Mrs. Zhang thought about it, her daughter would have to eat after staying here, so she said to Mrs. Liu: "Your elder sister hasn't come back for a long time, so I'll go to your place to stay overnight."

Mrs. Liu hurriedly said: "Mother, we just opened the kang cave and slept tightly. His eldest aunt has gone, so I'm afraid she won't feel well."

Aunt Qin immediately pointed to the inner room and said, "Mother, who sleeps in the western room?"

Since the separation, Ergui's family lived in the East Room and Dongli Room, Sanshun's family lived in the East Room, Qin Chan slept in the East Room, and the girls lived on the North Kang in the East Room.Therefore, now that the Xili Room is free, Mrs. Zhang puts her own things and does not allow anyone to enter casually.

Mrs. Zhang had no choice but to say: "Well, it's okay if you're sleepy, I'll clean it up." Then he said to Mrs. Liu: "We don't have anything to prepare for the evening, let your elder sister go to your house for dinner."

Of course Mrs. Liu didn't refuse, but she was just entertaining an elder sister, not the emperor. Anyway, they knew the situation at home, so they had nothing to say.She asked Auntie how she came here, and Aunt Qin said: "Your brother-in-law sent me to Fenghuang Village, and I came over here. I will go to Fenghuang Village tomorrow and wait."

Liu said with a smile: "Why don't you let brother-in-law come too, they're all at the door."

Aunt Qin said: "He is still busy. Besides, your brother-in-law is not used to coming to our house. There is nothing to eat or drink." She took Liu's hand and said, "Come on, come and sit down. , tell you something."

Xiuyao heard it outside the window, and immediately moved over. At this time, Xiumei, Xiujuan, and Xiuting also came back, saw Xiuyao by the window, and shouted: "Xiuyao, what are you doing at our house?"

Xiuyao ignored them, and heard her aunt say: "My mother-in-law said, it's a good family, the girl is good-looking, there is no choice for sewing, the family has dozens of acres of good land, and the companionship is also generous."

Mrs. Liu likes it in her heart. Daye is already seventeen and it's time to get married. The people in Nancun Beitun said that they will be married in their 20s. "Sister, with such a good condition, can people take a fancy to us? You didn't tell them The situation of our family. We just separated, but there is nothing in the house, no house, no land."

Aunt Qin said with a smile: "Our family doesn't have one, but his grandma's family has one. It is said that Liu's mill, if people inquire about it, it will be very impressive."

Mrs. Liu shook her head and said, "Eldest sister, although it is from my natal family, the surname is Liu after all, and Daye's surname is Qin. It's different. You have to explain it clearly to others."

Aunt Qin was a little unhappy and said: "Mother Daye, you have to figure it out, Daye is your son, the eldest grandson of our old Qin family, besides Daye, you have two talents. If you don't make a good start, future What does the child say about marriage? Next, Xiuqin has to talk about others, have you decided on Xiuqin's marriage?"

As soon as Mrs. Liu said something, Aunt Qin immediately said: "Da Ye Niang, you can't do this, you have to worry about your daughter's marriage. Daye Seventeen Xiuqin is also fifteen, it's time to talk about others, make an appointment It won't be too young in two years. By the way, his aunt is engaged, and how old is his aunt, she should be eighteen or nineteen."

Mrs. Liu became a little unhappy when she heard her chatter, and said: "His aunt has made an appointment, and he will go out in a few days."

Aunt Qin started to babble again, "I heard that she delayed for a long time, and after seeing several families, they all disagreed, right? They didn’t win, and they all respected themselves as Miss Qianjin.”

Mrs. Liu was not happy in her heart, but she couldn't talk about her because of face, so she could only say: "His aunt is raised a little more delicately, but she is not as good as what the elder sister said. Blind date is a blind date in the first place, and it's not just a matter of a family's fancy." thing."

Aunt Qin interrupted her, "Don't listen to what I say. My mother-in-law also said that I am straightforward, but I do it for the good of my family. Several nieces under his aunt are married, and it is shameful for her to stay at home. , this will affect us..."
