Rebirth Farmhouse

Chapter 139

It just so happened that Xiuyao and Xiurong went to bring water to Grandma's house on Thursday. Although they were busy knitting gloves, they never let up on this work. Later, Liu Shi asked Qin Xian to go and they thought someone would take over.How did I know that it was always my father who picked it up, and now the two sisters took it again without knitting gloves, and cleaned the water tank for Grandma on Thursday, so that the inner wall is not slippery at all.

Grandma on Thursday was very happy and thanked them for a catty of roasted pork, including a large piece of roasted pork sausage.

The two sisters couldn't refuse, and they also knew Grandma Thursday's temper. If she didn't want her, she would turn against her. If you want someone she doesn't like, she won't give you a fire stick. If not, she would not be happy.

When Xiuli came, Mrs. Liu asked Xiuyao to feed her candy and melon seeds, which she put in her pocket.Xiuli smiled and said, "Sister, I'll just eat here. When I get home, they will go through my pockets and say that if I have eaten, I won't be allowed to eat any of them."

Although Xiuli is the second aunt's daughter, she doesn't resemble her at all, and she listens more to Xiuyao, and she obeys what she has been told several times without revealing any secrets, such as Liu Xu's incident.Xiuyao liked her even more and gave her delicious food every time.

Xiuyao smiled and said, "Then you can come here often."

Xiuli suddenly said: "Sister Yaoyao, can I live in your house? I don't want to sleep with my sister."

Xiurong heard the interjection and said: "Your sister bullied you?"

Xiuli pouted and said with a melancholy face: "She scolded me all day long, and even talked bad things about you with Sanniang's natal sisters, so I have to say it too, I don't like it."

Xiurong said angrily: "These two being beaten, let the second sister come back and not let the second sister take care of them." Because Xiuli didn't speak ill of them, Xiurong smiled and said: "Okay, you can stay at my house and stay with us." .”

After hearing this, Xiuli said joyfully, "My family will go tell the mother."

Xiurong greeted her and said, "Come here, I will teach you a trick."

Xiuli leaned over, listened attentively, and said with a smile, "You just say to Nanny, 'Mommy, I'll go eat at Danny's house, okay?" Then you tell your mother, "Mom, I'll go to Danny's house, go Let’s see what they do and what they say.’ If you say that, you’ll have to live here to keep them.”

Xiuli looked puzzled, "Really? I said last time that my mother said I was going to be lazy, and my mother said I would eat inside out."

Xiuyao smiled and said: "You listen to my sister, if you can keep it, go."

Xiuli was dubious and ran back to speak.

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu took offense to the girls, "Don't teach Xiuli badly, Xiuli is a good and honest child."

Xiurong curled her lips, "Mother, it's good for our family to be honest, but isn't their family's honesty being bullied?"

After a while, Xiuli ran back again, happily saying: "My grandma and my mother let me live, haha. Plop!" I was so happy that I accidentally tripped over a small stone in the yard.

Xiuyao quickly went to help her up, patted the dirt on her body, and said with a smile, "Lili, don't cry."

Although Xiuli was in pain from the fall, she still smiled and said, "I don't cry, it doesn't hurt at all."

Qin Dafu saw it, and said with a smile: "Let's go back and tidy up the yard, plant vegetables on both sides, pick up stones and pave the path in the middle, so that when it rains, it will be too muddy to pull out our feet."

There is a lot of rain in summer, and the yard is soaked softly, and when you step on your feet, you will sink into the mud. It is necessary to block stones every other step to solve the problem.

The whole family did what they wanted to do, and the next day Qin Dafu dug the ground with a big shovel, and asked Qin Xian to level the ground with an iron shovel.

Xiuyao and the others picked out the stones that had been picked up earlier and piled up in the corner of the wall, and picked up the smoother ones without edges and corners and kept them on the ground.

There is not much distance from the screen wall to the door, only about ten steps.They dug open a place more than two steps wide, and then smashed the litter, picked out the small stones inside, and trampled the soil to pieces.

It’s almost done, just spread the stones side by side, knock them with a wall shovel while laying them, so that they are as close as possible, and then sprinkle soil into the gaps, so that they will not be stepped on too easily come out.Lay it early, and you won’t be afraid when it snows heavily, otherwise it will turn into water and the ground will be sticky, especially on frozen ground. It is very inconvenient to step on mud.

As she was busy with her work, Xiuxian came back from the outside with her blanket on her back. Seeing this, she smiled and said, "Oh, what are you guys doing for Chinese New Year? Why are you still turning the world upside down, looking for a baby."

Seeing her come back, the family was naturally happy, Xiuyao and Xiurong hurriedly helped her take down the bedding and the things she brought.

Widow Xu recovered from her illness, and thanked Xiuyao for taking care of her these days. She sent a chicken, three handfuls of eggs, and a large jar of shrimp paste.Some snacks like candy, and five big carps from Xu Zhenyi.If it wasn't for Xiu Xian's strength, none of them would be able to carry her back.

Xiuxian put down her things, took off her overcoat and went to help Qin Dafu with work.

Qin Dafu said: "Xiuxian, take a rest, I'll fix it."

Xiuxian smiled and said, "Father, you are afraid that I may not do it well. Don't worry, I helped Aunt Xu's make the bed at Aunt Xu's house. I am proficient at this."

Qin Dafu left her busy.

Over there, Mrs. Liu counted Xiuxian's things again, took out her clothes and put them away, shook up the bedding and put them on the kang.Then she cleaned it up again, to see if the chicken was a live chicken, and if it was a rooster that was specially killed for meat in winter, she touched it and found that the chicken still had eggs, so she kept it in the yard.

The chicken coop that Qin Dafu had just built was ready to catch chicks for raising in the coming year, and it just came in handy.

Mrs. Liu took out another fish, and said to Xiu Xian: "Don't be so busy, you haven't been home for so long, take this fish to your grandma's house, and go kowtow to your grandpa."

Xiuxian hummed, "Okay." She got up and washed her hands, took the fish and went over.

It took a long time to come back, and as soon as she came back, she yelled: "Mother, I would have known my meal time before I went."

Qin Chan smiled and said, "Second Sister, why do you want some food?"

Xiuxian said: "Let's go after dinner. Our mother can't talk too much, so she should rush me back for dinner. My mother, I just found out now that our third lady can really talk. Catch up I inquired about it."

Liu Shi hurriedly said, "You child, what are you talking about?"

Qin Chan pursed his lips, smiled, and lowered his head to help pave the stones. Xiuxian might still see herself here and not mention the second lady.In the past few days, it was a good thing for the aunt's family to send things there, but the mother and the third aunt insisted on whispering behind their backs that the big house was showing off, or they said that there was less, or they said... Anyway, nothing is what they want. .

Qin Chan felt very embarrassed. Staying here felt a little sharp, as if the mother and the third aunt knew what the mother and the third aunt were scolding behind their backs. When he looked at him, he felt something was wrong.

After a while, it was finally time for dinner, he got up and said: "Master, I'm going to eat at my house, come back later."

Mrs. Liu hurriedly shouted: "Dachan, you can eat here when you don't go home. When Xiuxian comes back, let's make a fish and eat it."

Qin Chan was embarrassed, he said: "No need, I'll just go back and eat." Then he ran away.

As soon as he got home, the second aunt blocked him at the door, scolding: "You're just so idle, why don't you go and work for them?"

Qin Chan said: "Mother, I just went to play, there are so many people, there is no need for me to do anything."

The second aunt sneered: "You don't need to do it, you have mud in your hands. If you are asked to work, you don't know how to eat a meal? Will you be driven back after eating? Go, I will lead you to judge."

Qin Chan was in a hurry and shouted: "Mother, what are you doing, my aunt told me to eat, I want to come back by myself."

The second aunt was in a hurry, "What are you doing, your brain is flooded, and you won't eat if you are told to eat?"

Qin Chan said angrily: "Why don't I eat, you don't know?" Then he entered the courtyard gate, the second aunt stomped her feet in anger, and said cursingly: "I really made some money, I don't know how to spend it, If it wasn't for the separation, he would be able to cheer up so much, and be careful to get sick again."

When Qin Chan heard it, he said angrily, "Mother, let my grandfather hear you."

The second aunt sneered, the dead old man started to lose his hearing, he heard a fart, he didn't hear her talking to him several times.

Mrs. Liu stewed the big carp with some fat for lunch, knowing that Mrs. Zhang would definitely not be willing to eat that one, she made a bowl of this one and sent it to Xiuxian.Xiuxian refused, so Liu asked Xiuyao to deliver it.

Qin Xian got up and said, "I'll go see it off."

Liu Shi said: "Erxian, you can eat, let Yaoyao deliver it."

Xiuyao is really helpless, it seems that mother is determined to let her be a special postman, Xiuyao smiled and said: "Mother, you are not afraid that I will steal food on the way."

Xiu Rong said with a smile: "You didn't eat it and our mother thought you did. You rinse your mouth first, so that I can show her when the time comes."

Qin Xian reprimanded, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Xiurong curled her lips and stopped talking.

Xiuyao hurried to deliver the fish, and then she didn't say much. Mrs. Zhang gave away a bowl even if she was talking too much. One bowl was enough for so many people, but Xiuyao really seemed to have a ticking time bomb in this land. Same, took the bowl and said quickly, "Grandpa and mom, you eat, my house is gone." Turned around and ran.

Zhang was so angry that she scolded: "Look at this little hoof, it's like seeing a ghost after seeing me all day, how can I eat her?"

Old Qintou said in a muffled voice, "You don't know why she is like this?"

Mrs. Zhang ate sullenly.

Xiuyao ran home in one breath, Xiuqin quickly reminded: "Slow down, don't knock."

Xiuli giggled and said, "If you hit the bowl, you will have to scold me."

Xiuyao giggled, "She can't scold anymore."

Seeing her innocent appearance, everyone laughed, only Qin Xian muttered with a sullen face, "Don't be so perverted, she's not stable at all, you are not just making fun of me as an elder."

The atmosphere was a bit cold for a moment, Xiu Xian glanced at Er Xian, when did he and Nanny get along so well?Didn't he still complain that Mammy treated him badly?She smiled and said, "Hurry up and eat, and Xiao Rong will steal everything."

Xiuli immediately said: "I'll keep it for Sister Yaoyao."

Everyone happily ate lunch.

Xiuyao said: "It would be nice if Xiao Yanger was at home." Although it is good to live in grandpa's house, it is better to stay in your own house. When you save enough money, let him come back to study.

Xiuyao thought about it, and discussed it with her mother when she went to bed at night.

Because Xiuxian came back, everyone sat around on the kang and talked at night, talking about new things they knew, so that everyone could have a good time.The north wind howled outside, and the laughter in the house made Xiuli laugh all the time, wishing she could stay at the aunt's house forever.

When sleeping, Xiuli shared the quilt with the aunt, and let Liu's arms sleep.

Xiuyao and the others spread out the quilt separately, and she said to Liu Shi who was mending the apron: "Mother, why don't we take the little sheep back and let him go to the private school of Uncle Zhou's house to study."

Although the private school belonged to Uncle Zhou's family, it was actually not in their compound, just like the Ren family's. For the convenience of the husband, it was in another small courtyard, which was more convenient.In the private school, the Zhou family's children, other children in the village, and those from Siwai Village can come if they want, as long as they send Shuxiu.

For a child as young as Qin Yang, it doesn't take much effort for him to memorize and read, and he doesn't need to teach books, so Shuxiu needs to be cheap.

Liu Shi said: "Let him stay at your grandfather's house. Although we have earned some money this year, we are still poor. It's too ostentatious to just study like this." And Erxian still has opinions, and it will be even more serious at that time. .

Xiuyao thought for a while, "It's fine, anyway, I have to raise pigs with my grandpa's family next year."
