happy event

Chapter 55
Qingfeng was worried and wanted to go after him to serve him, but Mr. Feng waved his hand to call him back, and sighed, "Forget it, the knot between their mother and child has to be untied by myself, and there is nothing I can do."

Qingfeng scratched the back of his head, and muttered helplessly, "I thought that the young master would have a better temper after marrying his wife. I didn't expect him to be kind to his wife, but he was still cold to others."

Mr. Feng raised his hand and slowly poured himself a cup of hot tea. He looked towards the south through the rain curtain, and his complexion became darker as he thought of something...

Dong Rong was kissed by a snake this time, and was almost dragged to report by Lord Yan, which really frightened everyone.Wang's cousin and Du Juan's sister-in-law, who heard the news from the villagers yesterday, ran up the mountain like rolling and climbing. Before she could calm them down, Aunt Cao and uncle rushed over again.

Aunt Cao turned pale with fright, grabbed her niece and daughter-in-law and looked at her from head to toe, and made sure she was fine, so she collapsed on the wooden couch and couldn't get up.

Dong Rong stretched her head and took a closer look. One of the shoes on the old lady's feet was made of cotton and the other was made of straw. It was obvious that she came here in a hurry and made a mistake in a panic.She was so moved that she didn't know what to say, she hurriedly asked Sister-in-law Liu to help open the cupboard and took out a pair of new shoes that she had made earlier to put on for the old lady, and at the end she asked for some fried vegetables and stewed meat for dinner.

Aunt Cao and the old couple didn't want her to bother, but Dong Rong felt that Wang Lu and Du Juan often lived in a small courtyard outside the city. My uncle's house has a banquet.

There is a custom in Qingxian County. It is said that grown-up nieces and nieces visit their uncle on the day of the summer solstice, and the uncle’s house prepares squash and bacon. The nieces and nieces will strengthen their legs after eating them and will not get summer plague.But other people are okay, Wang Lu and Shitou brothers will not have such a good thing if they share the aunt of Cao Pozi.Not to mention eating banquets, it would be nice not to ask them for filial piety.

Therefore, no one, including Aunt Cao, thought that Dong Rong would find such a reason to stay.It's hard for everyone to refuse her kindness, Qi Qi smiled and said that she would kill her as a rich man.

The orchard provides two meals a day to the handymen, and there is never a shortage of vegetables and meat.While Dong Rong was discussing the dishes with Sister-in-law Liu, she called Cousin Wang Lu to go home to pick up the two children and Shitou.

Soon the children arrived and the food was served on the table.Everyone sat down one by one according to their seniority.As Dong Rong's savior, Mrs. Yu was also invited to sit at the head. Aunt Cao served her own vegetables, and said that the old sister was a benefactor and kept silent. The old lady was so panicked that she didn't know what to say.In the end, Dong Rong snatched the flagon with a smile, which relieved the old lady Yu.

Everyone came from Zhuangyuan, and they couldn't talk about the interesting stories of ten miles and eight villages and their children. Aunt Cao and Mrs. Yu actually got more and more appetizing as they talked. They didn't let go at one point, and they were so close that they almost became god sisters. In the end, both of them passed out drunk and fell asleep on the wooden floor, snoring like thunder.

Uncle Wang felt ashamed and insisted that his son carry his mother down the mountain, but Wang Lu and his wife were anxious to go back early because the small courtyard was unattended, so Dong Rong asked Sha Zhu to carry his aunt to Cao's house for a night.

When old man Cao suddenly saw his sister being carried back by his son, he was really startled. Later, he heard that he had a banquet on the mountain, and his face turned a little ugly.How can a son hold a banquet without inviting his parents? If outsiders know this, it will be a joke that the Cao family has no rules.

It was Du Juan who had a wink, and smiled and talked about eating bacon in the summer solstice. Only then did old man Cao change his expression, glared at his wife, and then opened the wing to send his sister to live.

Mrs. Cao beat the dustpan in her hand, mumbling and complaining that her daughter-in-law deliberately cut her face.The nephews also hate the poor and love the rich, so they go to curry favor with their rich cousins, and they don't care for the pieces of bacon from the uncle's house.

Old man Cao wanted to scold the old woman, but Wang Lu and the others hurriedly left in embarrassment.

Aunt Cao slept at Cao's house all night, and got up early with a headache, but her sister-in-law complained about a lot of trivial things like old sesame seeds and rotten millet, and she came up the mountain again in a fit of anger.It just happened that I came here in a hurry yesterday, and I didn't take a good look at the orchard of my nephew and daughter-in-law, and there was no work to do at home, so it would not be too late for her to go shopping for another day.

In the orchard, a group of handymen were digging gutters in the rain, wearing coir raincoats and bamboo hats.Water droplets soaked the clothes along the gaps in the coir raincoat, and people sneezed from time to time.But even so, no one opened their mouths to curse. I heard that there is a severe drought in the south, and they still have rainwater to irrigate the fields here. It is too late to kowtow to God. How dare they complain without conscience.

Amidst Liu's nagging, Dong Rong pinched her nose and drank the soup, and now she was sitting in front of the window doing needlework bored.Granny Yu missed her son, and looked down the mountain from time to time while changing lines.It's a pity that she can only see a few feet away, so how can she see her son's figure.Dong Rong saw it in her eyes, thinking of her mother who left early in her previous life, her nose became sore with envy for a moment.

Just as the old and the young were thinking about their own affairs, Aunt Cao climbed up the mountain.Seeing the red eyes of the niece and daughter-in-law, the old lady quickly stepped forward to hold the hand of the niece and daughter-in-law, and persuaded her, "Sister Rong, your mother-in-law is straight-hearted, she usually says Just ignore it, and if you are really wronged, ask your aunt to make the decision for you. Don't get angry secretly, it's not worth it."

Dong Rong came back to her senses and knew that the old lady had misunderstood after hearing this, but she didn't intend to explain, so she smiled and asked her aunt to stay with her for another day.The old lady Yu also found a close old sister with great difficulty, and said in a loud voice, "Sister Cao, how many people in these ten miles and eight villages have unfilial sons and daughters-in-law, which made the old man cry. Your son and daughter-in-law are filial, but you are a nephew and daughter-in-law. My son is as caring as a girl. If I had been so happy in my dreams, I would have woken up laughing, but you still play tricks and refuse to stay and enjoy the blessings. You are really jealous."

Aunt Cao was coaxed into a smile, so she took advantage of the situation and stayed.

Dong Rong unfolded two bolts of fine cotton cloth and asked the two elderly people to help cut them. She planned to make two shirts for Silly Zhu and Heping while she was recuperating and unable to go out for a few days.Especially the set of Shazhu, it must be more gorgeous and delicate.

That day, she was so burnt out that she didn't have time to look at Sha Zhu's clothes carefully. Later, she heard Mrs. Liu and others praise him for being more handsome than the young masters in the city, so she clamored for Sha Zhu to put them on again.It's a pity that Sha Zhu refused to give in, which made her feel itchy.This time she made a set with her own hands, and coaxed him to put it on and see what she said.

Aunt Cao was most pleased to see her nephew and husband and wife loving each other, so she discussed with Granny Yu for a while before deciding on a style.Just as the two were about to get the scissors off, Mrs. Liu ran in with her wet hair.It turned out that a sheepherding boy was lazy and accidentally let a young ram get into the fence of the orchard. When the handymen drove him away, the sheep panicked and fell down the steep slope and broke its leg.The shepherd boy was afraid of being beaten when he went back, rolling in the mud and crying.

Sister-in-law Liu twisted the corner of Dripping Shui's clothes and cursed with a smile, "This sheep boy, he was obviously careless, but he let him go. Manager Zhao is going to find his adults, but he is still holding his legs."

Dong Rong was worrying about what delicious food to serve Aunt Cao in this rainy weather, her eyes lit up when she heard this, and she asked, "Did the sheep fall hard enough to die?"

Sister-in-law Liu nodded, "Hin legs are broken, I'm afraid I won't survive. The Yangwazi's family is also so poor that they can't get rid of it. I'm afraid life will be even more difficult now."

"Let Guanshi Zhao go to his family to ask about it and buy this sheep. It happens that the weather is damp and cold, and we should boil a pot of lamb soup to warm everyone up." Dong Rong moved the end of the kang and opened the box to take out a one and a half double weight sheep. Broken Silver, while handing it to Sister-in-Law Liu, instructed, "Let Manager Zhao explain the truth to this family. This is the only time, and this is not an example. How can there be a reason why their goats practice high jump and our orchard spends money to deal with the aftermath?"

Make mutton soup!Sister-in-law Liu took the silver, her mouth widened with joy, and she shouted joyfully after a long while, "My boss is so kind, if everyone knows that there is mutton soup to drink, I'm afraid everyone will jump for joy! I'll tell you, We need to find a knife to peel the skin first, and we need to prepare more hot water..." After saying this, she almost jumped and ran out.Soon there were joyful shouts from up and down the mountain, "There is mutton soup to drink, there is mutton soup to drink!"

"Thank you, Master, thank you!"

How could Aunt Cao not know that Zhang Luo's nephew and daughter-in-law are changing the way to honor her with delicious food, so she took Dong Rong's hand distressedly and complained, "You girl, it's not good to do something with money, as long as you Live a good life with Zhuzi, even if my aunt eats bran and swallowed vegetables, it will taste sweet."

Dong Rong hugged the old lady's arm and shook it, and said coquettishly, "I didn't buy the sheep to entertain my aunt, but I also wanted to drink a few bowls to nourish my body, and Zhu Zi lost a lot of weight after a trip to the deep mountains. It’s a loan from us. Besides, I bought such a big orchard, and it’s not worth the money of this lamb. A lively family is more important than anything else.”

Aunt Cao heard that Dong Rong had bought an orchard as a dowry a few days ago, and she was also suspicious in her heart, but the old lady was different from Mrs. Cao who wanted to grab every feather in her hand.In her opinion, as long as the money comes from a legitimate source, and the nephew and niece and daughter-in-law have a good relationship, it doesn't matter who the property belongs to.What's more, Mrs. Cao is not Zhuzi's biological mother, so the nephew and daughter-in-law should be more careful.

Just because of thinking like this, she never asked about the orchard. Dong Rong felt grateful, and naturally treated her closer and treated her like a true mother-in-law.

Their aunt and nephew are so close, but they are envious of the old lady Yu, and she is also looking forward to when her son will marry a hardworking and filial daughter-in-law.So he said, "Old girl, there is a suitable daughter-in-law for my family to look after."

"Okay, old sister, there is really a good girl in our village..." But all the elderly women seem to like to grab Yuelao's work, and Aunt Cao immediately opened up when she heard what the old lady said.Soon the two sat together, chattering and cutting clothes, laughing endlessly.
