happy event

Chapter 95
When she was so ruthless, her subordinates exerted more strength, and the little grandson was strangled so painfully that he couldn't help shouting.Dong Rong glanced at their grandparents and grandchildren, opened the box and took two pieces of snacks to coax the children. Granny Cao quickly rolled up the remaining snacks together with the package in distress.

Second Sister Cao saw her father coming in and said, "Mom, I also made a set of jacket and trousers for my father..."

Mrs. Cao was afraid that her good things would fall into Mrs. Chen's eyes and she would not be able to pull them out, so she hurriedly said, "What are you in a hurry for? I'll let your father change it tonight. It's already noon, and your sister-in-law finally came back, so I have to hurry Zhang Luo two good dishes to go."

Old man Cao was just one foot in the door and one foot out of the door. Suddenly he was very surprised to hear what the old woman said, and he didn't understand why she suddenly changed her sex and treated her daughter-in-law so well.So he asked suspiciously, "The sun is coming out from the west..."

Dong Rong lowered her head and tried her best to hold back a smile.The second sister Cao laughed unceremoniously, and Mrs. Cao gave the old man an embarrassing look and said angrily, "My daughter-in-law is filial and hardworking, why should I treat her better? Hmph, if you don't want to eat, just eat it." Go outside and drink the northwest wind!"

After finishing speaking, she angrily opened the door and entered the inner room, leaving old man Cao with his daughter-in-law and daughter laughing.Mrs. Chen felt more and more that the stool under her buttocks felt like pins and needles. She got up and led the little grandson out.

When the old man saw him, he said politely, "My mother-in-law don't wander around, and dinner will be served in a while. The food is good today, and I will have a few drinks with Brother Chen."

Mrs. Chen forced a smile on her face and refused, "Ah, no, my in-laws. The second child asked me and his father to eat there at noon."

"Oh, that's good." After hearing this, old man Cao didn't stop him. The house was so lively today, and he didn't want to face old man Chen's cold face.Even though he was kicked back by Da'er, he insisted on bragging about how good his life was outside, he felt tired after hearing it.

Mrs. Cao was fast, and she didn't need the help of her daughter-in-law or daughter-in-law. She quickly stewed a tofu with minced meat and fried potato chips.Although there were only a few grains of minced meat in the tofu, and there was no oily flower in the potato slices, Dong Rong still ate it full of praise. For a person who has been stingy all his life, such a treat is already generous. Ask for more?

The whole family sat around and had lunch. Mrs. Cao urged her daughter-in-law and daughter to go back quickly when she saw that it was snowing again.Old man Cao was wearing a coat and wanted to send them to the entrance of the village, but was stopped by Dong Rong.

After getting out of the house, Dong Rong looked up at the gray sky, thinking that it would not be easy to go back to the village when the snow was heavy, so why not take this opportunity to look around.So, she took Second Sister Cao to the dilapidated courtyard in the village.

In the courtyard, ten large stoves were set up against the two walls, and the fire was booming.Meihua is leading a few women busy cooking porridge and sticking pancakes. As soon as they enter the yard, they can smell the aroma of corn.Dong Rong took off her hood and greeted with a smile, "Mei Huaer, I'm busy!"

Meihua's hands were covered with glutinous rice noodles, and when she heard the movement, she turned around to look, and immediately trot forward in surprise and shouted, "Master, why are you here? Have you eaten lunch yet?"

Dong Rong nodded, and when she was about to talk again, she found a firewood in a large stove burning out, so she reminded the woman who stood by with her head bowed, "Quickly add one, the fire is out."

The women turned their heads to look at the cauldron they were in charge of when they heard the words. The woman who almost got into trouble was probably a little flustered, and hurriedly added the half-burned wooden stick into it. hands.Later, the woman next to him ran over to help, and this was considered to have saved a small house on fire.

Mei Hua'er got along well with them on weekdays, so she was afraid that Dong Rong would be offended, so she quickly smiled and said, "Sister-in-law Shen is a coward, and anyone who pulls her to gossip on weekdays will be scared to tears."

Seeing the woman shrinking her neck and her subordinates tightly grabbing the corner of her clothes, Dong Rong also found it funny.This courage is really smaller than that of a rabbit. I don't know how she traveled thousands of miles in this severe drought without being bullied to death?

"Sister-in-law Liu seems to have some badger seed oil, remember to get some and give this sister-in-law a wipe. It's winter, and the burns on your hands heal slowly." Dong Rong walked around while instructing Meihua, and occasionally reached out to pick up a spatula to stir The corn porridge seemed to be quite sticky, so he nodded.

A dark-skinned woman next to her may be a joker on weekdays. She was very grateful to see her boss, and she took the initiative to say, "Steward Liu and sister-in-law Meihua treat everyone very well, and they never skip meals. Everyone eats every day." Eat well and sleep well. But I can’t continue to work on the mountain, I feel sorry for my boss.”

Dong Rong turned her head to look at the woman who was wearing an old blue-gray padded jacket. When she raised her head, her neck was reddish with cold, so she replied with a smile, "Sister-in-law, please tell everyone to rest assured. You can start your spring work." If there is more, everyone will have more energy to work after taking care of their bodies."

The woman quickly lowered her head and said yes, Dong Rong pointed to her bare neck and said to Meihua, "Tell Steward Zhang to buy some more cotton cloth, and share a piece with these sisters-in-law who don't have underwear. In such a cold day, you still wear clothes Hollow padded jacket, it’s not much warmer than not wearing it at all.”

Mei Hua'er heard that the owner's tone was a bit off-putting, so she hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law Wang originally had single clothes, but she can also wear them as inner clothes after changing them, but she has to take care of two children from the same village, and give them to the children..."

"Then buy more. Regardless of men, women, or children, as long as there is no underwear, you can add one. The children must be supervised. Well, let's see who has read books, please come out and teach the children. Let's learn how to read."

Mei Hua hesitated, and asked, "The ink, paper and inkstone will cost a lot of money..."

Dong Rong waved her hand, "It doesn't have to be so troublesome, you can find some wooden trays, river sand, and branches to replace it. Of course, the husband will first buy a set of the Four Treasures of the Study, and then the exam will be held once a month, and the child who takes the first exam will also be rewarded with a piece of paper." set."

"Thank you, my master, my master is a living Bodhisattva..." Dong Rong was talking to Mei Hua, when all the women suddenly knelt down and kowtowed, as if they were smashing their heads.

Panicked, Dong Rong and Mei Hua hurriedly helped her up, only to find out after careful questioning that they were delighted that their child could read and write.Dong Rong's original intention was to fear that the children would run around and be mischievous without their work. Who would have thought that people in the south value reading and literacy so much.They didn't have to bow down a few times to feed, drink and dress them, but now they are so grateful for the little things they just ordered casually.

The women knelt down and kowtowed as they talked, but Dong Rong hurriedly left with her sister-in-law after a few instructions.She was afraid that if she stayed for a while, those women would kowtow and be stupid.

Second sister Cao walked behind her sister-in-law in the wind and snow, occasionally looking up at her sister-in-law in front of her, full of admiration in her heart.A strange woman like sister-in-law is really rare.And my elder brother actually married her back, I don't know how many lifetimes of good deeds I have accumulated to have such a blessing.

Dong Rong didn't know that her sister-in-law worshiped her as an idol, and she was trying her best to spread her cloak to protect the little girl from the cold wind, and her teeth chattered from the cold after finally returning to the mountain.

The sister-in-law and the sister-in-law were busy burning the kang and the stove. After a long time of work, they finally went to the kang to rest.Second Sister Cao laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, go buy a hardworking maid when brother comes back, otherwise you won't have a warm house when you come back from the house."

Dong Rong also had this idea these days. Although she is not a person who cannot bear hardships, she is not short of money now, so why not let herself live more comfortably.

"Okay, when your brother comes back, let's discuss it."

The second sister Cao stopped talking when she heard what her sister-in-law said, and started embroidering again after tearing up the sewing basket beside her. Dong Rong moved the kang table, took the account book and started accounting.

The sister-in-law and the sister-in-law lived together on the mountain like this. Occasionally, Guanshi Zhang would send sister-in-law Liu or Mei Huaer to report back if something happened, and the two of them would bring some food over, and the hut would be much more lively at that time.

Dong Rong waited day after day, seeing that more than half a month had passed, and she was a little anxious when she still didn't see Sha Zhu coming back.This day, my sister-in-law and my sister-in-law were eating lunch. The second sister Cao picked up a piece of frozen tofu and put it in the sister-in-law's bowl after blowing it carefully until it was cold. She advised, "Sister-in-law, eat more, you have lost weight these days. My brother Go out with Mr. Feng often, and nothing will happen."

Dong Rong picked up the tofu and wanted to put it in her mouth, but the chopsticks did something wrong and just didn't obey her. She was so angry that she fell to the ground with a "slap", and cursed, "I will never give old man Feng any more. There is food, how can anyone kidnap someone else's husband? He has been away for more than a month, so that people can live? This is a very cold day, if your brother gets sick from the cold, don't you think I will wipe him off? beard!"

"Oh, poor old man, I have worked so hard to climb up the mountain, but someone wants to stroke my beard! I'd better leave quickly, or I might lose my life if I'm too late!"

Dong Rong was scolding happily, but suddenly heard someone talking outside the window, so she was stunned.On the contrary, Second Sister Cao shouted happily, "Oh, Mr. Feng is back too! Then my brother must be back too!"

Dong Rong hurriedly got off the ground, put on her shoes, and rushed to open the door. Sure enough, Mr. Feng was standing outside the door with Shazhu and Qingfeng.Dong Rong quickly stepped aside and shouted in surprise, "Come in, it's cold outside."

However, Mr. Feng refused to move. He protected his frost-stained beard with both hands, and pretended to be terrified and said, "I dare not go in. If the beard is not protected, the old man will die."

Dong Rong stomped her feet angrily, and in desperation hurriedly saluted and made amends, "Uncle Feng, I was just joking just now. You old man doesn't remember the faults of villains, so don't be angry. I'll cook you some delicious dishes to apologize later , how are you?"

"That's more or less the same!" Mr. Feng raised his chin and walked into the room triumphantly.Qingfeng greeted Dong Rong with a smile and followed him in. Only Sha Zhu looked his wife up and down for a long time before he said with a smile, "I'm back."

Dong Rong glanced at the room and saw that Mr. Feng was taking off his cloak and didn't pay attention to the two of them, so she stretched out her hand and pinched Sha Zhu's waist fiercely, and cursed softly, "You still know how to come back, let me deal with you at night! "

Silly Zhu laughed and didn't resist, but Mr. Feng responded, "You young couple have something to say at night, first serve me a bowl of hot porridge for the old man, and we will go down the mountain when we are full, and we will not leave any eyesores."
