Rebirth of the poor elder sister-in-law

Chapter 25 Guess What

"Sister, brother!" He was a little excited.

Liu Man'er was also very happy to see him. The child had never been in a bullock cart, so she asked the uncle who was driving the cow to slow down and hugged Liu Fusheng up.

It was the first time that Liu Fusheng got on the bullock cart, he looked very excited, he kept looking around, it was obviously a very bumpy road, but he didn't feel the bumps, he just shouted excitedly in the car, "Fourth sister, brother and sister-in-law are back gone."

Well, Liu Man'er was really speechless about his title.

But don't get bogged down in these little details.

Seeing Liu Man'er and Ye Yuan coming back in a bullock cart, Ye He was also very happy. She ran out of the house with a flushed face, "Brother, sister-in-law, why didn't you go to the mountains, why did you come back in a bullock cart?"

"I'll tell you when I get back." Liu Man'er handed a box of pastries to Ye He, "It's the right thing to help my sister-in-law move these things in first."

"Okay." Ye He didn't know what was inside, but thought the box was very beautiful, and there seemed to be a faint fragrance, which she liked so much that she couldn't put it down.

Just as Liu Man'er and Ye Yuan jumped out of the car, Fang Shi also came over with the child in her arms. After seeing the two of them, she also had a flash of surprise and asked, "Hey, where are you two going? Why? Did you buy so many things? Could it be that you picked up gold?"

"Yes, yes." Liu Man'er said with a smile, she handed over the steamed buns and other food to Liu Fusheng, then took the cloth and cotton out of the car, and said, "Mother, we bought cloth and cotton. It's time to trouble you to help make clothes and quilts."

"It doesn't matter if I help make it, but you have to tell me the origin of this thing, otherwise, I won't do it!"

Although Fang believed in the conduct of the two children, she was always a little worried when they suddenly bought so many things.

"Don't worry, mother, let's talk about it after I take the things back." Liu Man'er said while holding the cotton.

Ye Yuan paid the driver, then took out two steamed buns from the bag in Liu Fusheng's hand and handed them to the driver, saying, "Thank you for your hard work."

"Thank you." Although the two steamed buns were nothing, Ye Yuan's attitude made the coachman very ironic. After thanking him, the coachman drove back with the ox cart.

After all, it will take some time for him to go home later, and he brought two steamed buns, just enough to satisfy his hunger on the way.

Regarding Ye Yuan's approach, Fang also nodded, the family picked up their things and went into the yard, Liu Man'er put the cloth and cotton in Fang's room, and then opened the brocade box, "Come on, mother, Try it, this is a pastry I bought from the county seat, it's delicious."

"I don't want it, you children can just eat it." Fang quickly turned her head aside.

"Eat, eat." Liu Man'er was persistent, she was the kind of person who would not give up until she achieved her goal, she was coquettish and cute, and she was aggressive, and the cake finally entered Fang's mouth.

"Is it delicious?" Liu Man'er asked while leaning on her hands.

"It's delicious." Fang nodded, but he didn't want to eat the second piece anyway.

"Eat more if it tastes good." Liu Man'er said with a smile, then picked up another piece and gave it to Ye Yuan.

With the previous experience of being forced to stuff steamed buns, Ye Yuan just refused for a while, then obediently opened his mouth.

Next, it was Ye He and Liu Fusheng again.

Finally, Liu Man'er has not forgotten the child on Fang's back.

It wasn't until everyone in the family had eaten the pastry that Liu Man'er picked up a piece and put it in her mouth with satisfaction. She made a happy expression and said, "Ah, it's so delicious, what do you think? "

"Delicious, delicious." The two children nodded repeatedly.

Seeing the sincere smiles on their faces, Liu Man'er felt that her heart was full of reservations. She had forgotten all the grievances she had suffered in the county town in an instant.

"Eat more if it tastes good. After my sister-in-law makes money, I will buy it for you."

As Liu Man'er said, she opened another porcelain white jar, and the air was instantly filled with a sweet smell: "Guess what's inside?"

"Sugar!" Liu Fusheng said first.

"No." Liu Man'er shook her head, "Guess again."

"Is it also a pastry?" Ye He tentatively guessed.

"No." Liu Man'er shook her head again.

"Is it honey?" Fang guessed.

"Oh, I forgot to buy honey." Liu Man'er heard Fang's words like this, and then realized belatedly, "I should have bought some honey just now, so that we can drink a glass of honey water in the morning, and then eat it like this." I’m afraid it’s more flavorful with sweet potatoes.”

"Honey is sold in the town, and there is a beekeeper in our village. If you want to buy it, just wait." Ye Yuan said from the side.

Liu Man'er nodded repeatedly, "I want to buy, I want to buy."

Hearing what she said, the three of them knew that they had guessed wrong again. Fang's probe was about to take a look, but Liu Man'er covered the lid with her hand, "Don't play tricks."

Seeing Liu Man'er's action, Fang couldn't help laughing, and said, "Man'er, what kind of treasure is in this jar? We can't guess."

"Can't guess it?" Liu Man'er smiled mysteriously, took her hand away, and said, "It's candied fruit!"

"Candied fruit, what is it?" Ye He didn't know, she was a little curious, but Fang had eaten it before, so she explained, "It's a fruit marinated with honey."

Liu Fusheng looked at it eagerly, he didn't know anything, anyway, he knew that the food inside must be delicious.

"Come on, try it. I bought candied dates, plums, and peaches in this jar." Liu Man'er placed the jar in the middle, and everyone took one from it, and then she took the other two jars out of the cloth bag. Take it out.

"It's so sweet." Eating the candied dates, Fang's face also showed a smile. She has always liked sweets.

"It's delicious. I've never eaten such a delicious thing in my life." Ye He also nodded repeatedly. She was willing to take a small bite of a candied date, which was yellow.

"You'll grow up all your life." Liu Man'er heard Ye He's words, and said, "When you grow up, what delicious food can't you eat?"

"I ate this candied date when his father was still alive." Fang said while eating, "It must be quite expensive, right?"

"It's not expensive." Liu Man'er actually likes candied dates, but she generously pushed all the candied dates to Fang's side, and said, "Mother, you can put these candied dates by your bedside. Eat it, taste one every night, and in retrospect, it will be sweet all day."

There is a small cabinet next to Fang's bed, which is placed on the bed. Liu Man'er knows that Fang's precious things are stored in it.

"That's good, you guys can eat." Fang smiled slightly, "Mother has received your kindness."

"When their two children grow up, what delicious food can't they eat? Mother don't have to think about us, you can eat it yourself, we still have more here."

When Liu Man'er was holding his own snacks, Ye Qing walked in and saw his family sitting around the table, he was a little puzzled, then looked at the bowl of steamed buns and some other food on the table , he understood in an instant:

Feeling that he is working in the field and these people are eating at home?
"Come on, Qing'er, come over and eat something, your elder brother and sister-in-law bought it." Fang saw Ye Qing came back, and waved to Ye Qing.

Ye Qing put down the hoe and said, "No need, I won't eat."

"Your sister-in-law bought candied fruit and pastries, come over and try them?" Fang called again.

"I don't like to eat these." Ye Qing said arrogantly.

"This kid." Hearing what Ye Qing said, Fang shook his head, and called other people to come, "Okay, leave him alone, he won't eat, we will eat by ourselves."

Hearing Fang's words, Ye Qing was a little unhappy, there were only three sons in the family, needless to say the eldest, he was the one who attracted attention from the moment he was born.Now that the elder brother has just returned from serving as a soldier, the mother feels ashamed of being indebted to him, and is always better for the elder brother.

The so-called common people love Yao'er, needless to say the third child, the mother also treated him very well and let him go to study.

Only me, the second child, my father died early, and my mother didn't love me, I always have my own in doing things, and I didn't think of other benefits at all. If I knew it, I should have been a soldier back then, but it's a pity At that time, I was young and didn't make it.

Depressed, he went to the backyard to wash his hands, and when he came back, he saw Fang Shi talking and laughing with Liu Man'er and others. He became even more depressed, so he simply went out and stood by the corridor, looking up at the sky.

"What's wrong with Ye Qing? You seem to be worried again?" Liu Man'er noticed Ye Qing's strangeness, although she never got along with him, but after all, they are a family, so she said something more.

"It's okay, this kid is losing his temper. I'll talk to him later and he'll be fine." It has to be said that Fang knows his child's mind very well.

"What's wrong with the second brother?" Ye He said, a little confused, "We let him eat, but he won't eat."

"Don't pay attention to him." Fang said, "I'll talk to him later."

"It's just that Yuan'er, Man'er, you should tell me about the origin of these things, right?"

Fang looked at Ye Yuan and Liu Man'er. In fact, with Ye Yuan present, even if Liu Man'er was a fool, she was at ease. It was just that she bought so many things at once, including such precious things as cloth and cotton. I know the reason, but I am a little worried.

"It's a long story, we have to start with this morning." Liu Man'er said, "I went up the mountain with Ye Yuan this morning. I originally wanted to go to the deep mountain to lure a monkey back home and tame it. Who knows, Turned off the road, and encountered a five-step snake on the road..."

"This five-step snake has a ferocious mouth, it's more than one meter long, and it's as thick as an adult..."

Liu Man'er talked about her experience this morning like a story, which whetted everyone's appetite. After hearing this, Fang was both scared and surprised, "What happened later, did you bite you? Yuan'er Are you and Man'er okay?"

"We're fine, it's just that later..." Liu Man'er was about to speak when Ye Yuan interrupted: "Later, we sold it to the county seat and got these things in exchange."

"Okay." Liu Man'er had nothing to say, and could only shut her mouth sullenly.

"So that's how it is." Only then did everyone put their hearts back together, and Fang's heart finally fell to the ground after knowing the origin of the money.
