Rebirth Farmhouse

Chapter 25

According to Xiuyao's memory, she is not unfamiliar with the foreign public house. The front yard is mainly a mill, and the back yard is a residence.

When they went in, the second aunt Yao, the second uncle, and the eldest uncle who were driving the donkey to grind the noodles greeted them, "Oh, but the next thing is here, why don't you come earlier, it's getting dark."

Mrs. Liu had to explain it again, and Xiuyao immediately called people one by one sweetly, and then went back with her mother and aunt.

Liu Xu was leading a few nieces to defend the yard. When she saw them coming in, she immediately got up and smiled and said, "When I heard someone calling the door, I thought it was you. Sister, your mother-in-law is really calculating. She even asked you to go to her mother's house." Come back so late, didn't you have dinner?"

She turned her head to Liu Yun, the niece of her second brother's family, and said, "Xiao Yun, go and make hot rice for your second aunt and the others, and scramble two eggs."

Mrs. Liu hurriedly said that there was no need to be busy, and Liu Xu smiled and said, "Sister, don't tell me that you ate here, I guess it's just breakfast."

She looked at Xiuyao, "Yaoyao, do you think so?"

Xiuyao thought that Auntie is really wise, she smiled and didn't wait to speak, Qin Yang woke up and said loudly: "I'm starving to death, Auntie, I want to eat fried eggs, and I also want to eat chicken legs."

Liu Shi said: "What kind of chicken legs do children eat? The chickens still have to lay eggs." It is impossible to kill chickens, and anyone's chickens are killed only on important occasions.

When Lao Liutou and his wife Li Shi came out of the house, Qin Yang stretched out his little hand for Lao Liutou to hug.Old Liu put his head on his shoulders for him, and said to Liu Xu: "Go to your sixth grandpa's house and buy two chicken legs. His family just killed the chickens, and the chicken legs are still designated to be eaten."

Mrs. Liu hurriedly said that there is no need to bother, it's too expensive, "We said we came back to celebrate my mother's birthday, but in fact we didn't bring anything, and we ate and drank, so don't make too much fuss."

Mrs. Li smiled and said: "You really take it seriously, it's not that you're really celebrating your birthday, your elder sister is not coming back, it's just letting Yaoyao follow you to improve, two chicken legs are nothing, anyway, give it to the children, Come into the house, you're too tired to walk."

As soon as they entered the house, all the children from Liu's family came to say hello to their aunt, and Xiuyao rushed forward to say hello one by one.

Xiuyao knew all these people from her previous memories, but not all of them were able to call out their names. For example, she didn't know the last name of her grandmother, nor did she know the last names of her first aunt and second aunt. The ranking is called, but not everyone can be called by name.

Lao Liutou and his wife Li Shi have two sons and three daughters.

Eldest son Liu Gener, wife Chen Shi, second son Liu Gan, wife Yao Shi, eldest daughter Liu Yeer, husband Wang Shu, second daughter Liu Yaer, husband Qin Dafu, third daughter Liu Xu.

Liu Ya'er was originally a pair of dragon and phoenix twins, the boy died, so she was brought back to life.

Liu Gen'er and Chen's son and two daughters are Liu Qi, Liu Juhua, and Liu Xia. Juhua is married, and Liu Xia is engaged and waiting to be married at home.

Liu Gan and Yao Shi have two sons and one daughter, Liu Sheng, Liu Yun, and Liu Fei.

Everyone greeted each other, and Liu Yun also heated up the meals, which were thin noodle rolls, a large plate of scrambled eggs with leeks, a pot of spinach soup, sesame oil mixed with toon sprouts and spicy shredded cabbage.

Soon, the eldest brother Liu Qi bought chicken legs and came back, seeing the eager eyes of Xiuyao and Qin Yang, Liu Shi didn't say anything else.

Xiuyao didn't take the chicken legs, "Big brother, let Xiao Zhengzheng eat the chicken legs."

She knew that elder brother Liu Qi had a young son, who was more than a year younger than Xiao Yang'er.

Seeing that Xiuyao is so sensible, Mrs. Li couldn't help but patted her head, and sighed: "Look at this girl who has been wronged. She is seven years old and as thin as a root of bean sprouts. Good boy, eat quickly." , your brother will buy it if he eats again."

Xiuyao knew that although her grandfather's family was a little more affluent, she earned it by working day and night, and she didn't just eat chicken legs casually on weekdays. She shook her head and said to Qin Yang: "Little Yang, give me a bite of yours. OK?"

As before, Qin Yang would never be willing to part with it, but now it is different, he immediately said generously: "Well, I will eat one with my sister."

As she spoke, she handed the chicken leg to Xiuyao, and Xiuyao took a small bite. The chicken raised at home was so tender and delicious that it made people reluctant to swallow it.

Seeing that even Qin Yang was sensible, everyone couldn't help exclaiming: "Oh, Yangyang has grown up, and he knows how to make people."

Qin Yang felt a little embarrassed, he lowered his head and laughed.

Mrs. Liu was also very relieved. She was afraid that her mother-in-law would spoil her little son, but she was a bully at home before. "His sister fell into the river to save him. He knows it hurts. Yangyang is now more sensible than before."

Liu Xu snorted and said: "Sister, you are too soft-tempered, and the little sheep is a bit of a mess, and the family is so poor that it is not at all greasy, but he treats his little grandson like a young master, what will happen in the future?" Do it, she doesn't want to."

Mrs. Li hurriedly stopped her, "You girl, what are you talking about, you know it. Sister Yangyang is the one who knows how to plan."

Liu Xu stepped forward and hugged her mother's shoulders, flattering her and said, "Mother, I am so envious of my elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law. I can have a mother-in-law like you who is capable, kind and not picky."

The eldest aunt Chen over there laughed and said: "That's quite true. Every time I go back to my mother's house, my parents always say it. I'm not afraid of your jokes. My sister-in-law envies me." She laughed as she spoke.

Everyone in the room also laughed, and the laughter was loud, which made people feel very comfortable.

Fresh and tender leeks in early spring, homemade eggs, side dishes, this is Xiuyao's first decent meal since she came here, and the steaming thin noodle rolls made her teary-eyed.In the past, in order to lose weight, I didn’t eat this or that. Now that I think about it, it’s really a crime.

After the meal, Qin Yang was sleepy again, so Liu Shi hugged him and talked with his parents and sister-in-law on the kang, Xiuyao listened to Liu Xu for a while and said, "Auntie, do you still weave?"

The daughters of the Liu family were not raised by beatings like the Qin family, and basically did not do heavy work. At home, they only embroidered, weaved, and did needlework.

Mrs. Liu likes embroidery, and Catkin likes weaving. Xiuyao was curious about hand-weaving in her previous life, so she wanted to take a closer look.

Liu Xu nodded, "Zhi, but since you're here, I'll rest for two days." Seeing Xiuyao wanted to see her, she took her little hand, "Come on, let's go and see." Then she turned to Liu Qi's daughter-in-law Said: "Osmanthus fragrans, come and take a look, let your grandparents talk to your second aunt."

Chen Guihua is the niece of the eldest aunt's natal family, older than Liuxu.

Seeing this, Mrs. Chen hurriedly said to her parents-in-law and Mrs. Liu: "Father, please talk to Daye Niang. I'll go to the mill to see and help. The three hundred catties from Lijiazhuang will be pulled tomorrow."

Li Shi said: "Let their brothers go to work, and you also have a rest, talk to Mrs. Daye, don't rush to go." She said to Liu Xu: "Girl, go and call your second sister-in-law and let her Take a break too."

Liu Xu smiled and said, "What's it called? You don't know that my second sister-in-law can't keep up with some work and has to finish it all at once. She just said that, and she will come here after pushing it."

After saying that, she led Xiuyao and Osmanthus and left.

Xiuyao couldn't help feeling envious, the grandpa's family is really harmonious, the parents-in-law are considerate to the daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law respects the parents-in-law, they are happy and harmonious, unlike the old Qin's family, where the Zhang family is calculating all day long, and the daughter-in-laws are more shrewd than each other.

Hey, why did my mother marry into that family? She didn't care about science or not, she was thinking wildly, Liu Xu asked her, she didn't pay attention to anything, and said casually: "Auntie, why did grandpa and grandma marry my mother to Lao Qin?" Home."

As soon as she said these words, she even gave herself a fright. It was really—rebellious enough, where would she be without her parents.

Chen Guihua pursed her lips and laughed, Liu Xu also laughed, "I also asked, your grandpa and grandma said that at that time your father was honest and capable, and his smile was very friendly, it didn't seem like he would beat his wife, it was better than those glib good."

Xiuyao thought so too, her father's temper was really all right, and he was good to his mother, except that it was about the nanny, he was basically obedient.

"It would be great if all mothers-in-law were like grandma." Xiuyao said childishly.

Liu Xu and Chen Guihua laughed, Liu Xu looked at Chen Guihua as if, and said to Xiuyao: "I want to think about it, don't talk about others, just say your sister-in-law, she is telling the truth, I'm afraid my mother-in-law is not as good as her mother-in-law's mother-in-law."

Xiuyao grinned at the tongue twister, and Chen Guihua didn't look like a hiding person, she looked very cheerful, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law is really right, don't talk about my mother-in-law, just talk about myself, It won’t be possible to do that in the future.”

Her mother-in-law is her aunt, so her aunt would only praise her for being able to speak, and would not blame her or anything.

When Xiuyao followed her aunt to her room, Liu Xia and Liu Yun were still doing needlework.

Liu Xia is a gentle girl, she is about to get married, and she is doing her own dowry needlework. Although the old Liu family is not very poor, it is not a very rich family either. The kind that is necessary, will not do anything fancy, and naturally there will not be a lot of them, and it is almost the same for a girl who does it alone.

After Xiuyao said hello to them, she went to look at the loom by the wall, fumbled here and there and asked some questions she didn't understand, and Liu Xu answered her one by one.

Xiuyao saw that her aunt asked Osmanthus to demonstrate the weaving posture, she asked curiously: "Auntie, how many days will it take you to weave this piece of cloth?"

She watched the woven cloth rolled up under the loom, with unwoven warp threads on top and a large roll of unwoven thread on top.

Liu Xu said, "About ten days."

Chen Guihua said with a smile: "Your aunt is very good at weaving. Her hands and feet are so nimble that people are dazzled. You can't even see the shuttle flying. Such a big roll of cloth needs fifteen or sixty feet in total."

Xiuyao gasped in surprise, "A piece of cloth is so long?"

Liu Xu helped Chen Osmanthus fiddle with it, and then gave her instructions on how to weave it quickly, nicely and densely. She said to Xiuyao: "Your family doesn't have a loom, and each piece of cloth is different, and it's four feet long. About eight, there are short ones even two feet, it depends on what you want to use."
