Fruity Manhua Ting

Chapter 2 Mother and Daughter
Mu Caiwei was strictly ordered by Jia Shi to lie on the bed for several days, she was already recovering, and she remembered desperately.

Jia Shi couldn't hold back her temper, so she had to ask the girl Xiao Zhuizi to help her walk around the courtyard.

It is the late spring season, the sun is shining and warm, and the spring breeze is blowing, making people intoxicated by the warmth!

Sitting under an octagonal crabapple tree in the courtyard, she silently looked at all the old houses.Their family lives in the north, and this courtyard is a square courtyard.

This yard is considered a big family in the local area. Back then, the ancestors of the Mu family started as a small fruit vendor. After so many years of accumulation, they finally bought hundreds of acres of fertile land and a large orchard on the mountainside.

Mrs. Mu deeply felt that if there were no scholars in the family, he would be a dwarf, so he invited a learned old Confucian to teach his two sons to read.The hard work pays off. The eldest son Mu Shirong was elected as early as 15 years ago and stayed in Beijing as a lecturer of the Imperial Academy. The younger Mu Shilan, Mu Caiwei's father, came to Beijing to participate in I'll try it, but it hasn't been released yet.

Uncle Mu Shirong's family lives in the capital, and his father Mu Shilan went there again a few years ago. I heard that uncle found an old Confucian who can write well, and Mu Shilan studied and practiced with him there. .

Only mother Jia is in charge of the house, and it is thanks to her hard work and eloquence that she manages the house in an orderly manner.

The orchard at home was at the time of fruiting. Seeing that Caiwei had recovered these few days, Mrs. Jia couldn't stay at home anymore, so she had already led some servants to the orchard.

Mu Caiwei suddenly felt bored, sitting in the yard chatting with Xiao Zhuizi.

Just as she was talking, there were suddenly two girls poking their heads outside the door, and Mu Caiwei took a good look. It turned out to be the two sisters Chunni and Yanhong.

Mu Caiwei hurriedly got up and waved to them to come in. The two walked into the yard awkwardly. Her sister Chunni blushed, and then she handed her a bouquet of pure white flowers from behind, "It's our fault." , causing you to fall. I wanted to come to see you earlier, but my second aunt refused."

"Second Aunt" refers to Jia Shi.

Caiwei couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled, "Mother is too, I can't blame you for this matter, if I wasn't naughty, how could something happen?"

He stretched out his hand to invite the two of them to sit down, and the three girls chattered and laughed.

Mu Caiwei was amused by the straightforwardness and boldness of the two sisters, and the depression in her heart suddenly floated into the sky.

Looking at the smiling faces of these two girls like mountain flowers, she was full of emotions in her heart. In the previous life, the fate of these two girls was not good. Their father got involved in a lawsuit and was sent to the prison in Fucheng.

The two sisters sold themselves as slaves to redeem their father. Later, their father died in prison, and the two disappeared.

Later, she went to Beijing to marry into the Zhao family, and was persecuted to death within a few years.

In this life, I hope the fate of these two sisters will not be so miserable!
As Chunni and Yanhong were talking, Caiwei's expression turned a little unhappy, Chunni hurriedly asked, "Are you not in good health? Why don't you go back to the room and lie down?"

Xiao Zhuizi was so frightened that she wanted to help Caiwei's hand, Caiwei hurriedly waved her hand and smiled, "How can you be so delicate? It's just that you are bored at home and want to go out for a walk."

The younger sister Yanhong immediately stood up, took Caiwei's hand and pulled it out, "That's good, the three of us will go to your orchard to play, where the grass and flowers are beautiful, and we can even catch butterflies."

Her elder sister Chunni just gave her a look, "How old is she who only knows how to play all day long! Caiwei is good, so you encourage her to go out. See if the second aunt comes back and exposes your skin!"

Yanhong was so scared that she stuck out her tongue and begged for mercy, "My good sister, I don't dare."

Chunni is one year older than Caiwei, while Yanhong is one year younger than her, and has a hot temper.

Caiwei shook Chunni in dissatisfaction, "Okay, stop talking about the wheel of the car upside down. Didn't I say it? I didn't blame you for what happened last time, so why are you still blaming yourself? No I've seen you like this."

The way she pretended to be angry made Chunni and Yanhong laugh out loud, and Chunni coaxed her like a sister, "Okay, okay, don't be angry, can't I stop talking? But I want to If I go out to play, I have to ask my second aunt when I come back."

Caiwei had no choice but to agree.

When it was getting dark, Jia came back with a few servants in a car, and Caiwei quickly handed her a cold towel pulled from the well water, so that Jia's day's heat could be relieved.

While wiping her hands and face, she said with a smile: "It's only May, and it's hot to death. I don't know how this year's fruit will be."

Then he looked at Caiwei who was standing on the side, "You girl, why don't you take a good rest, what are you doing here to serve me? I still lack someone to serve me?"

Seeing Jia's scolding, Caiwei hurriedly took the handkerchief she had used, and said with a smile, "Isn't it natural for a daughter to serve mother? Why rest when I'm healed?"

Jia Shi laughed when she heard this, "Did you eat bee poo today or something? Why are you talking so sweetly?"

Caiwei laughed hehe, "Where does mother want to go? Didn't I see that mother has been busy all day, and am I afraid that you will be tired?"

The two girls were chatting and laughing, and dinner was already served.Although the family is fairly well-off, the food is also simple and light.

The sweet white porcelain plate is full of dark bean paste, and a pile of green onions are stacked on the plate, and there are a few fragrant and burnt pancakes in the bamboo basket next to it.

There is also a large bowl of white rice porridge and a few side dishes.

When Caiwei ate with Jia Shi, she felt that dipping scallions in sauce would make rice porridge, and the more she ate, the more delicious it was.

Jia looked at her daughter who was eating happily, and kept nodding her head, her eyes couldn't hide her kindness, "Oh, eat slowly, there are plenty of them! The girl doesn't look like a family at all?"

"What does mother want me to look like? I'm not the lady of the family, do I need to be coy?" Mu Caiwei said indistinctly with a mouthful of pancakes in her mouth.

After swallowing the pancake and taking another big gulp of gruel, she asked Jia Shi, "Mother, will I go with you to the orchard tomorrow, too?"

When Jia Shi heard this, she put down her chopsticks, stared at her with raised eyebrows, and said, "I said, why are you so attentive today? So you were waiting here."

Mu Caiwei smiled without blushing, "Mom, I'm almost suffocated at home all day long, so just let me go out to get some air. Look, I can eat, drink and sleep, so if I don't go out for a walk , but you will become a fat pig, so how can you get married?"

In order to make Jia disarm and surrender, she resorted to her trump card.

Which mother doesn't want her daughter to marry a good family?Naturally, he cares most about his daughter's figure.

Jia picked up the chopsticks and tapped her forehead, "Why do you marry and not marry? This is something a girl can say? Don't be ashamed!"

"Why should I be ashamed in front of Mother?" Mu Caiwei put down her chopsticks salivatingly, and climbed onto Jia Shi's shoulder, "My dear mother, do you agree?"

Jia Shi was so entangled by her that she had no choice but to nod, "I've never seen such a big man who is still so clingy, how can he marry in the future?" His gaze fell on Caiwei softly, and he reached out to stroke her shoulder.

"Then I'll call Shang Chunni and Yanhong." Mu Caiwei hastily agreed, and put forward her own conditions.

Unexpectedly, Jia Shi immediately lowered her face, "Is it because Chunni and Yanhong's two little hooves encouraged you? I knew that those two girls were not upright all day long. What kind of boxing are you practicing?"

"Mother!" Caiwei snorted, "It's just that you don't feel sorry for the motherless child, why bother talking about her? What's wrong with the girl's boxing practice? Can she still defend herself?"

If there are two people like this protecting him, he won't be at a disadvantage when the time comes!
She had wishful thinking, determined to win over these two people.

Jia Shi didn't know that, but just patted her angrily, "It's really an elbow turned outward, I didn't say anything, I turned towards her!"

"Whether the mother agrees or not?" Mu Caiwei continued to be a little girl and made a fuss about Jia Shi.

"That's all, if I don't agree, you still have to shake my bones apart?" Jia said with a smile.

Mu Caiwei kissed Jia Shi on the cheek with a snap, "Mother loves me the most."

It made Jia Shi give her a blank look and giggle.
