The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 39 The Poor Man

Xiaomi hurriedly welcomed the people in, and then found a stool and moved it in front of them to invite the two to sit.

Guizhi came and went often, and was also close to Xiaomi, and sat directly in front of the stove to help light the fire.

Seeing that the little girl was only thirteen or fourteen years old, with a withered complexion and a thin figure, and the clothes on her body seemed to be worn by Guizhi, she guessed that it was Guizhi's natal family.

So he smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, is this your natal sister?"

No, Guizhi didn't wait to speak, but the little girl took the lead first, "I'm not, I'm my aunt's niece."

Xiaomi choked up when she heard this, and didn't understand who the aunt she was talking about was. Then she saw the little girl's two eyeballs flickering around, and finally the silver lilac that landed on her ear slapped hard, as if she wanted to It's like digging out the silver clove directly.

Instinctively, she felt a little displeased, but she still responded with a smile, "This girl is from Aunt Liu's natal family, right?"

Gui Zhi'er was afraid that the little girl would be rude again, so she quickly responded, "Yes, this is Dazhu's father's cousin, Zhao Di'er, who is 15 years old this year. Originally, my mother asked Xiaodao to take her around, but Xiaodao didn't know Where did I go, I thought about coming here to borrow a piece of embroidery thread..."

Gui Zhi'er was vague, but in fact she didn't like this cousin very much.

When she first came to the house, Zhaodi said that her dress was beautiful, and her parents-in-law were in front of her, so she could only pretend to be generous, and took a set of her dress for Zhaodi.Not only did Zhao Di'er not thank you, but she also picked and picked, insisting on ordering a new one and putting it on.

Just now I heard that she was coming to Lu's house, and seeing the grandeur of the Lu's courtyard, Zhaodi insisted on following her, which was really annoying.

How did Xiaomi know that there were so many twists and turns, and besides, it was always someone else's business, so she couldn't get involved.

So he took the initiative to pick up a bowl of meatballs and handed it to Zhaodi, and finally found other gossip to talk to Guizhi.

One of the two put meatballs in the oil pan, and the other lit the fire, and they talked lively.

When the minced meat in the basin was all fried, Xiaomi stopped, planning to pick up a bowl of warm ones and pad his stomach with Guizhi.

Unexpectedly, there was only a shallow layer left in the clay pot next to the meatballs, and the rest of the meatballs disappeared.

Gui Zhi'er was also surprised, and asked casually, "Hey, where is the meatball? Could it be that Gao Ren..."

But halfway through, she suddenly blushed.

It turned out that Zhao Dier was holding a ball and trying to stuff it into her mouth, her little belly was bulging high, she looked like she was going to spit it out immediately after taking a step...

Obviously, Gao Ren was wronged, and the real place where Wanzi was buried was Zhaodi's stomach.

Even though the farmers are straightforward and simple, when they visit other people's homes, they seldom eat with open stomachs.First of all, everyone knows that food is precious. If you are full, maybe people, young and old, will have to drink corn porridge that is as thin as clear water for a few days.The second is the issue of etiquette, no matter how vulgar a person is, he knows how to save face.

But Zhaodi was the one who was ignorant and shameless, half a pot of meatballs, five catties of meat plus two scoops of noodles, was eaten by her silently.

And it's still on the premise that the master's family didn't give permission, this is really... too shameful!
Gui Zhi'er wished she could find a crack in the ground to get in. She stood up and apologized to Xiaomi repeatedly, "Xiaomi, I'm really sorry. This...Zhaodi, oh, I..."

"Okay, sister-in-law, it's not a big deal, don't worry."

Xiaomi was actually very angry, not because he felt sorry for the pork, but because when shopkeeper Chen came to pick up the vegetables later, he would take them away.After being eaten up by Zhao Di'er like this, and there was no time to prepare, naturally he lost the role of Lu Laosan.

But Gui Zhi'er had a full stomach, and the one who ate the meatballs was Aunt Liu's niece.

Zhao Di managed to stuff the last ball into it, she almost rolled her eyes, and finally hiccupped hard to get over her breath.

"I'm so overwhelmed...it's so delicious, I've never eaten so much meat since I was a child!"

Zhao Di praised, but her eyes were still on the remaining meatballs in the basin, as if she wanted to pack them up and take them away.

Xiaomi was really afraid that she would survive it, or that it would be disgusting enough to spit it out.

Apparently, Gui Zhier also thought of this, and hastily called Zhao Dier away.

"Ouch, my stomach, slow down, I can't walk!"

Gui Zhi'er was angry, so it was inevitable that his hands would be stronger, causing Zhao Di to stagger and complain again and again.

"Hurry up and go back with me, I'm really... so... mad at me!"

Gui Zhi'er had never lost face like this in her life, she was so angry that tears filled her eyes.

By chance, when I left the kitchen, I met Feng Jian who opened the window to take a breath.

He didn't know what he was concentrating on writing, with the brush in his hand, his brows were slightly furrowed, bathed in the sunshine of early spring, he had a different kind of nobility and elegance.

Zhao Di'er subconsciously wanted to run over, but Gui Zhi'er desperately held her back.

"What are you pulling me for, I want to go over and have a word!"

"What are you talking about? Come home with me!"

Gui Zhi'er's anxious tears finally fell down, and she didn't even care about the child in her stomach, so she dragged Zhaodi out of the gate of Lu's house.

Feng Jian looked up, his brows furrowed deeper, and he turned to ask Xiaomi who had left the kitchen, "Is there something wrong?"

Xiaomi waved her hand weakly. She originally wanted to say that all the meatballs she had been busy all morning went into other people's mouths, but she was afraid that Feng Jian would think she was stingy, so she could only feel sorry for herself.

Gao Ren and Lu Wu ran in from the outside, sniffing the aroma in the yard, they were all overjoyed, and ran into the kitchen frantically, only to see a shallow layer of meatballs, they all shouted, "Why are you frying so much?" Son Maruko?"

Xiaomi rolled his eyes and didn't say anything at all.

"Second brother, go to the vegetable shed to cut a handful of spinach, make meatball soup at noon, and bake a pot of scallion pancakes. I won't give these meatballs to third brother either."

"Okay, I'll go to the academy with shopkeeper Chen later, and I'll buy some roast chicken for the third child on the way, he likes it too."

Lu Wu had a rough heart, he jumped to cut the spinach without thinking too much after hearing the girl's arrangement.On the contrary, Gao Ren rolled his eyes again and again, picked up a few meatballs and stuffed them into his mouth.

Besides, when Gui Zhier came home crying, Aunt Liu was feeding the chickens in the yard, and Uncle Liu and his eldest son Da Lin were thinking about small wooden utensils.Although Xiaomi said that it will not be used for the time being, it is always good to have more if you have nothing to do.

When everyone suddenly saw Gui Zhier come back with red eyes, they were all shocked.

Especially Dalin rushed to his daughter-in-law in one stride, glanced at her belly worriedly, and then asked, "What's wrong with you, who bullied you?"

Gui Zhi'er didn't wait to speak, Zhao Di'er had already sat down on the stone table, and muttered, "Who knows her, she is delicate, and she is not afraid of bad luck even if she cries."

Gui Zhi'er was blocked and came back, her eyes turned black with anger, she held her stomach and screamed.

"I hurt, I'm so mad, my stomach hurts!"

The Liu family was terrified, and hurriedly helped her to lean on the recliner.Aunt Liu was afraid that something would happen to her unborn grandson, so she stretched out her hand to gently rub her daughter-in-law's stomach, and comforted her, "Gui Zhier, don't be angry, you still have a baby in your belly, if you have something to say, mother will decide for you." .”

Gui Zhi'er endured the stomachache, and said it from the beginning to the end, and finally cried even harder.

"Xiaomi didn't say a bad word, but Zhaodi kept scolding Xiaomi for being stingy on the way, and she couldn't even bear a meatball. That's one, it's a pot full of clay, and it's Xiaomi who wants to take it to the academy. Woohoo, I'm really ashamed to see Xiaomi!"

The faces of the Liu family turned black when they heard this. Although they usually received subsidies from millet, they had worked hard, and they were definitely not begging for alms.Sometimes I am afraid that outsiders will gossip, and even rush to do more work.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Di'er smashed all the bones that had persisted for a long time today.

Zhao Dier didn't admit her mistake, rubbed her bulging belly, and shouted, "Her house is so big, and she still has silver cloves on her ears, how could she miss so few meatballs. No wonder my mother It is said that rich people are stingy."

"Shut up!" Uncle Liu got angry, but he couldn't bear to scold a niece of a wife's family, so he threw the utensils in his hand and went into the house.

Dalin also helped Gui Zhi'er back to the house, and Aunt Liu and Zhao Di'er were left in the yard for a while.

Aunt Liu was also very angry. Just as she was about to reprimand her, Zhao Dier burst into tears, "Oh, auntie, I just want to eat meat! When I was at home, I didn't have a full meal, so my mother just took care of me." Brother, you want to starve me to death. That millet didn’t tell me how much to eat, so I ate a few more. Auntie, I really didn’t mean it, woo woo, I’m hungry, I want to eat meat!”

Zhaodi's family name is Wang, and only one of the three daughters is born.Zhaodi's father is a gambler and rarely does any work on weekdays, and Zhaodi's mother has a bad temper.The family of six originally relied on the meager property left by the elderly, but the property was sold out a few years ago.As a result, the family ate the last meal without the next meal, and it became difficult.

Originally, their family had nothing to do with their elder sister who married early. Occasionally, they heard that there was a virgin born in Lao Xiong Ling who brought wealth to the world, and brought prosperity to every family. Then they suddenly remembered that this elder sister lived in Lao Xiong Ling.

At that time, the Wang family almost sold their daughter to a hunting boy who had no father or mother. Afterwards, they never cared about her, and now it is really embarrassing to visit her again.But I didn't want someone to come to the door at this time, add a handful of firewood to their family, scratch their hearts and livers with fever, so they drove Zhaodi to find out the truth.

Unexpectedly, Zhaodi still had such an annoying appearance, even her own aunt couldn't stand it.

"Okay, don't cry, too. Look good in the future, how old is a girl, why would you do such a shameful thing when you go to someone's house..."

Aunt Liu still wanted to say a few words, to teach her niece the rules of being a guest, but Zhao Dier immediately stood up and patted her buttocks as soon as she heard that she didn't pursue it, and asked, "Gu, what are we having for lunch?"

Aunt Liu blocked her throat and almost covered her stomach with her hand.It's a pity, but she didn't have a baby in her stomach, so she could only go into the house panting heavily...

In the front yard, Xiaomi thought that Zhao Dier would never come again.

Unexpectedly, it was really beyond her expectation. During dinner, she had just poured the meat porridge into the basin, and when she went to serve the egg custard, Zhao Dier was drooling again standing by the stove.
