Rebirth Farmhouse

Chapter 22

When the big guys came back at night, they shouted, "Wow, the pancakes are rolled out, and there are pancakes, so delicious."

Xiumei and the others rushed into the main room, staring at the hill-like pile of pancakes, swallowing their mouths.

Because it was the first cake making meal, Mrs. Zhang gave each of the maids a piece of cake and a piece of cake. Basically, they were full. If they were not full, they drank porridge, and if they couldn't eat, they could save it for tomorrow.Xiuyao was also allocated, and she was not deducted because Qin Yang gave half of the tickets.

The men only eat porridge and cakes, and they are basically full. This is the rule of the old Qin family.Daughter-in-law, that's it, only half a piece of cake, at most one piece of cake, and the rest still have to drink porridge.

Everyone enjoyed the dinner, but Xiuyao was very conflicted. After the meal, she lay on the hard Kang, covered with a heavy and not warm quilt. Such a poor day?

Drink porridge and black noodles every day, occasionally drink some broth, and the supply of pickles must be limited. Apart from working every day, you are fighting with other sisters to grind your mouth?

But what can I do now?
I struggled until I fell asleep, dreaming about a table of rich dishes, such as braised pork, spicy fish, Dongpo pork, steamed sea bass, double-skin milk, pea yellow, bowl of cheese, sugar porridge, etc. Secret noodle soup... She ecstatically opened her belly and ate a round belly, which was so distended that her stomach ached, so she woke up suddenly in the middle of the night.

Stomach pain, stomach pain... Could it be that you are full?
She ate a half pancake, and half a pancake roll with spicy cabbage sauce...it was indeed a bit much.

And that feeling is actually like the heartburn after eating glutinous rice or dead noodles, leeks and other foods in the previous life.Could it be that those with gastric ulcer and gastritis also traveled through time with her?

Fall!What a fate, I finally had something delicious.

Enduring her stomachache, she twisted and twisted under the blanket. The elder sister woke up and asked, "Little sister, what's the matter with you?"

Xiuyao hummed, "My stomach hurts a bit."

Xiuqin asked with concern: "Are you full?"

Xiuyao said: "Maybe, I feel a little uncomfortable after eating leeks."

Xiuqin hurriedly said to pour out the hot water for her to drink, but there will be no hot water in the middle of the night, and she has to burn it, which will not only alarm everyone, but also have to suffer, Xiuyao said forget it.

"Sister, I'll be fine in a while. It's okay."

Xiurong also heard it, and she smiled and said: "Little sister, you just ate a pancake and that's it. If you go to your grandma's house to eat delicious food, what should you do? I said don't eat it all by yourself. Don’t forget to bring us something delicious.”

Xiuqin said: "My little sister has a stomachache, so don't talk about it." After a while, Xiuyao fell asleep, and she felt a rooster crowing.

Waking up in the morning, Xiuyao heard Xiurong scream, "It's broken, it's broken." Then she jumped off the kang, quickly pulled her shoes and ran out, and Xiumei's voices sounded outside.

Xiuqin laughed, and said to Xiuyao: "Yaoyao, don't you want to go to the latrine?"

Xiuyao shook her head. With so many people together, unless it was a pigsty squatting in rows on all sides, the small place behind the haystack would not be enough.

After a while, she heard screams, thinking that the back of the haystack was occupied first, and heard the grunting of pigs, Xiuyao glanced through the small window, and saw two figures slipping into the pigsty, she burst out laughing , Fortunately, I am not like this.

Speaking of which, she was still very careful. In order to avoid embarrassment, she didn't drink water at night and didn't eat much for dinner. Anyway, she didn't have much to eat.The Kazakh pancakes were too fragrant yesterday, and the girls got carried away with eating them, and they didn't eat much oil and water for a long time, so the first time they ate lard and leeks, it was smooth sailing.

When Mrs. Liu gets up, she packs up. According to the original plan, she rolls out cakes and goes back to her mother’s house. Tomorrow is the child’s grandma’s birthday. return.

Mrs. Zhang thought about her daughter-in-law going back to her mother's house for a day. Wouldn't it be a big loss if she went early in the morning?She said to Liu Shi: "Da Yeniang, don't rush to leave, tidy up the house and make arrangements for Xiuqin's needlework." Then she said to Xiuyao: "Don't be lazy, go cut the basket grass."

Xiuyao didn't want to be lazy at first, since she didn't have such a good life to go to a wealthy family, she had to work.She took Qin Yang to mow the grass and dig vegetables as usual, but Liu Shi had already packed up and said that she would leave when Xiuyao came back for dinner.

Mrs. Zhang heard this, and thought it would be better to leave later after dinner, if she wants to leave early, it's better not to eat, she said to Mrs Liu: "All the work is done?"

Liu Shi said everything was fine, and Xiuqin knew that she wanted to leave early so as not to be late and the road would be dark.

Zhang said: "The sky is long now, and it will be fine later."

Liu naturally knew what she meant, and said, "If it's too late, I'll let his father deliver it."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhang immediately said: "Daye father still has to weave straw sandals."

Then Mrs. Liu stopped talking, and Mrs. Zhang also felt embarrassing, and said with a smile: "If you want to go, it's better to go early. It's not too rude to say that the child's grandma celebrates her birthday."

Mrs. Liu hummed, and said to Xiurong: "Xiurong, it's almost noon anyway, let's cook early, we'll eat and leave."

Xiurong agreed, but went to see Mrs. Zhang. As expected, Mammy's complexion changed a little. It seemed that she was determined not to want Mother and the others to eat this meal at home.

Before noon, Xiuyao and Qin Yang came back. She dried the grass outside and came in, and sprinkled a bunch of freshly cut grass for the pig. Qin Yang followed her behind with two green duck eggs in his clothes, and Xiuyao told him to hurry up. Take it home and don't break it.

These two duck eggs were when she and Qin Yang saw a wild duck while digging vegetables, and then Qin Yang found the duck eggs, and they picked them up, there were only two in total.If it wasn't for the lack of convenient fire, Xiuyao really wanted to cook it outside.

Seeing Qin Yang running over, Mrs. Zhang told him not to fall. Qin Yang held up the duck egg in his arms as if offering a treasure, "Nurse, look, my sister and I picked it up."

Mrs. Zhang smiled, "Grandma will pickle salted duck eggs for you." Then he smiled at Mrs. Liu: "Speaking of which, you may have a chance to visit Chakou Village when you go back to your mother's house, and you can buy some duck eggs. good."

Mrs. Liu hummed, "Mother, duck eggs are not cheap, so how much do I have to bring?" She wanted something without giving money, and she made it clear that she wanted her to buy it with money from her natal family.

Every time Mrs. Zhang talks about the water thrown by the married daughter, of course the purpose is to tell the daughters-in-law that the married daughter-in-law is a member of her own family, so don't expect to go back to her mother's house to chatter about everything.So she is married, so naturally she can no longer ask her natal family for money.

When Mrs. Zhang heard what Mrs. Liu said, she didn't care if she asked for money, so she immediately said: "It's quite expensive, so forget it, pack up and leave quickly, don't make your in-laws wait in a hurry."

Liu Shi said: "It's fine, if the child is hungry, he can buy some biscuits on the way."

As soon as she heard that she wanted to buy sesame seed cakes, Mrs. Zhang immediately called out, "A sesame seed cake costs two Wen. Where does our family have money?"

Qin Yang giggled, "Duck eggs."

Mrs. Zhang asked Xiurong to cook quickly. When the meal was not ready, a daughter-in-law came in outside, "Sister-in-law, please be at home."

When Mrs. Zhang heard that she was Zhou Qiang's mother-in-law, she hurriedly said, "Here, come in quickly."

Mrs. Liu wondered if the embroidery was a problem, so she rushed out to greet her. When Xiuyao turned her head, she saw a young woman about 20 years old coming in, wearing a red, blue and green striped cotton jacket skirt, which seemed to be woven by herself, with a blue strip around her waist. A waist skirt with white flowers on her arm, a silver hairpin on her arm, and a pair of treasure gourd and white ear pendants. Her face is white and fat, and she looks clean and neat.

Compared with those women in the Qin family who wore coarse cloth and had no color, and no jewelry to decorate, this sister-in-law Zhou was pretty.

"Sister-in-law, someone from the Feng family sent a letter, saying that this batch of embroidery is finished, and they will take a rest first, and the family is busy with farming, so we will talk about it later." Zhou Qiang's daughter-in-law said with a smile as soon as she came in.

Both Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Liu were taken aback. Didn’t they boast that the embroidery work was good when they went to deliver the goods two days ago? They need to do more. The Feng family has a large business and a large population. I can't finish the work on the Internet, so it's expensive to hire someone outside, so I asked her to do more?

Why did you change your mind in two days?

After Zhou Qiang's daughter-in-law finished speaking, she glanced at Mrs. Liu and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law is going out."

Liu's mind is buzzing, although the money is not very much, but he has been doing embroidery work, and he can also subsidize the family, otherwise, it will be enough to eat only by renting the land of a big family, where is there any money left?Not to mention the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar at home, and the tax of two hundred dollars a year for a laborer is not easy to pay.

But in front of others, she was too embarrassed to show it, she still smiled affectionately and gently said: "Well, go back to her mother's house, and I will be back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

Zhou Qiang's daughter-in-law said that there was still work at home, so she just came to talk and said goodbye.

Liu quickly sent it out, and when she reached the door, she asked in a low voice, "Guifang, tell me the truth, what's going on?"

Zhou Qiang's daughter-in-law looked embarrassed, and Liu said: "You still don't believe me, and I'm not a person who can chew my tongue, but I just want to know why. There is no reason why I said before that I would turn around and leave it." Liu Shi is not a fool, so he naturally knew that there was an accident, otherwise how could he change his appearance immediately after speaking?
Zhou Qiang's daughter-in-law looked around, and seeing no one passing by, she said, "To tell you the truth, sister-in-law, I also inquired quietly, saying that the second young lady of the Feng family is no longer in charge of the house, and the third young lady has been replaced." She turned to look at the courtyard of the Qin family, No one came out, so she said again: "Sister-in-law, don't let your aunt know, it's his family who communicated with the boss, deliberately not letting you do the work." She held out two fingers to compare.
