Peasant Girl's Jingxiu Pastoral

Chapter 150 The Upright Old Lady

In the end, Yan Yue and the others didn't go to other places to play. First, they were afraid that the adults in the family would be worried, and second, Yan Yue didn't like to run around in unfamiliar places. After all, she didn't know the good or bad of the people in Jiumen Village.

Therefore, several half-grown children finally decided to play in their own yard, and Yan Yue also asked her grandmother for some rags, sewing and scissors, and gave the things she found to her elder sister.

Yingyu was totally clueless at the time, after all, she didn't know what her little sister was paying attention to.

But after a while, her little sister told her to help her sew a sandbag out.

Fang Ping'er, who was standing next to the two sisters, was very curious when she heard Yunyue talk about sandbags, so she asked Yunyue about it.

But Yanyue sold it out, saying that she would know everything when her elder sister was ready, and just let her wait patiently.

When Fang Pinger heard what her cousin Yanyue said, she nodded with a smile, and obediently moved a chair for her cousin Yingyu to the main room, and then stood quietly watching her cousin Yingyu, doing that so-called sandbags.

Fang Tao and the boys played hopscotch taught by Yue Yue in the yard. Seeing the boys happily playing, Yue Yue went to the main room with a smile.

Afterwards, she called her little uncle Fang Ruhai who was busy chatting at the moment, and helped her catch a rooster and pulled a handful of beautiful chicken feathers.

After her little uncle plucked a handful of chicken feathers for her as she wished, Yanyue went to her mother again and asked her mother to give her a few copper coins.

That's right, at this moment, Yue Yue was going to make a feather shuttlecock to play with. Originally, the base of the feather shuttlecock could be made of that kind of thick paper, but she searched around the yard, but she couldn't find it.

Therefore, she went to her mother, Mrs. Fang, and asked for a few copper coins, which she planned to use as the base of the feather shuttlecock.

It is said that when Luyue asked her mother, Fang, for copper coins and said it was for making toys, Fang didn't hesitate at all, so she brought out a few copper coins for Luyue.

Seeing such a scene, Yang Ru and Yang Liu were shocked by every move of Fang's mother and daughter.

They really couldn't figure out how their sister-in-law Fang could dote on the child so much. When the child asked for a few copper coins to make toys, she just didn't have a word of blame, and even gave some without asking.

However, Yanyue didn't pay attention to the expressions of the two aunts, because at this moment, she was anxious to make a chicken feather shuttlecock and come out to play.

Therefore, she didn't pay too much attention to the expressions of her two aunts, but even though she didn't pay attention, it didn't mean her mother Fang didn't see it.

However, seeing this scene, Yanyue's mother didn't explain anything to her sister-in-law and younger siblings, but smiled and said something that made them confused, and only said that they don't need to worry, and Yanyue knows it by herself.

The two sisters-in-law saw that the sister-in-law said so, and her eyes were full of doting, so they looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

After that, the two of them could only act as if nothing happened, and continued to chat with Fang Shi, and Fang Shi's mother, the old lady, nodded in relief when she saw that her two daughter-in-laws had such a good relationship with her daughter-in-law.

Then she left the house and went to the main room, but when she saw that the elders in the main room were in a good mood chatting, she left the main room and went to the yard.

When she came to the yard and saw the happy grandchildren and grandchildren, she couldn't help being curious again, and looked at the granddaughter and granddaughter who were squatting or sitting in the middle of the yard.

Seeing their busy figures, the old lady didn't intend to disturb, but went directly back to the main room and moved out a chair.

Then he sat down directly at the side of the gate, with a kind smile on his face and kindness in his eyes.

Finally, when her elder sister made the sandbags, Yan Yue hurriedly took the needle and thread from her elder sister's hand, and then began to make the chicken feather shuttlecock that she had already prepared.

When she finished the feather shuttlecock, she didn't start playing immediately, but put it on the courtyard sill, and played with her eldest sister and her cousin Ping'er with the sandbags made of corn kernels.

It is said that when the three girls just started playing for a while, Fang Tao and the boys lost interest in playing hopscotch, but happily joined them in playing sandbags.

So when the adults were chatting and the children were playing games, more than half of the day had passed, and then Fang, her sister-in-law and younger siblings started a new round of cooking.

The old lady who was sitting at the door of the main room wanted to get up and go to the kitchen to help, but her daughter and daughter-in-law stopped her and told her to sit and rest, and the three of them would cook.

As a sensible old lady, when she heard her daughter-in-law said that she would not be allowed to help, she did not insist. Instead, she listened to what her daughter-in-law said, and continued to sit by the gate, smiling at her grandchildren and grandchildren who were having fun.

The three of Fang's cooking in the kitchen, just like cooking at noon, have a clear division of labor. When all the preparations are ready, Fang's main person is still in charge of the cooking, while Yang Ru and Yang Liu's sisters-in-law will be Fang. Shi helped.

When the food was ready, the sun had gradually set in the west, and Yue Yue's family also ate dinner in a hurry, and then helped to clean up, and then prepared to drive the ox cart back.

Before leaving, Mrs. Fang also took her mother, and quietly stuffed her mother with a bag of broken silver in her hand.

It is said that when the old lady held the heavy purse, she was quite surprised. You must know that the purse given to her by her daughter at this time weighed at least 100 taels.

As a general-minded, sensible mother who is considerate of her daughter, the old lady does not agree with her daughter giving her money to support her natal family.

So she wanted to return it to her daughter, but when she wanted to hand it to her daughter, her daughter held her hand holding the purse with both hands.

Before she could react further, her daughter whispered to her, saying that the money was from their family to honor her and her old man.

And her daughter didn't look at her with any intention of dodging, so the old lady thought, maybe it was true as her daughter said, the money given to her might really be negotiated by her daughter's family.

Seeing that the old lady couldn't refuse, and her daughter didn't seem to want others to know about it for the time being, the helpless old lady put the money bag away with a sigh, and then quietly took the money bag that was in her armhole. inside.

Seeing that her mother had finally put away the purse, Mrs. Fang was in a good mood and talked with her mother for a while.

Later, when her husband Ouyang Chun called her at the gate of the courtyard while leading the cow, she told her mother and father to take care of their health and take care of themselves, and they would come back to see them more when they had time.

The old lady and old man Fang smiled and nodded when they heard their daughter's concern, and then urged the daughter to let her go out quickly, saying that it was to prevent the son-in-law and grandchildren from waiting for a long time.

Seeing this, Fang smiled at her parents, elder brother, younger brother, sister-in-law, and several children, then turned around and walked towards the gate of the courtyard under the reluctant eyes of her relatives.

After Fang's family sat down with the three children, Ouyang Chun greeted everyone in the Fang family, and then drove the ox cart slowly towards the entrance of Jiumen Village.

The old lady watched her daughter and son-in-law's family gradually disappear before her eyes, so she called her eldest son Fang Rushu to close the courtyard door, and then took the family back to the main room, and took out the purse given to her by her daughter Fang Yan .

Then it opened it unhurriedly. When the old lady held the opened money bag, she stretched out her hand, revealing the broken silver in the money bag.

By the way, when old man Fang saw the broken silver in the old lady's hand, they all looked dumbfounded, and they didn't have the kind of happy look at seeing the silver. On the contrary, except for a few children, the eyes of the adults were all It's full of doubts.

So, they all looked at the old lady in puzzlement. When the old lady saw everyone's expressions, she knew what they were thinking in their hearts, so she said exactly what her daughter said when she gave her money. come out.

Speaking of which, the reason why the old lady took out the money given by her daughter in front of the whole family at this time was because she was afraid that one day, her son and daughter-in-law would find out about this matter, and they would feel resentful towards her. Trouble.

The second is that I don't want to keep the family in the dark, and her daughter is here for their family. If they don't understand and misunderstand her daughter, then her daughter will not have to die unjustly.

Besides, she didn't want her daughter to do things for her family to be kept a secret from her, so after she weighed it, she took it out in front of everyone.

When everyone listened to the old lady's words, they also knew the old lady's intentions. As daughter-in-laws, Yang Ru and Yang Liu were not greedy at all. On the contrary, they were very grateful to their mother-in-law for trusting them.

Therefore, when the old lady was about to distribute the broken silver in the purse to them, the two sisters-in-law simply refused, and only said that the two elders should keep it for themselves.

When the old lady heard about it, she looked at the two daughter-in-laws, and when she saw that the two daughter-in-laws were neither greedy nor jealous, she nodded in relief, then put away the purse, and then told the two daughters-in-law The daughter-in-law said that if necessary, she can ask her to get it at any time.

When Yang Ru and Yang Liu heard about it, they smiled and nodded to the old lady, and then replied in unison: "Okay, mother, we understand."

It is said that when the ox cart left Jiumen Village, Yan Yue asked her mother if she had given her grandma any money.

Seeing the girl who cared so much about this matter, Fang smiled and said to Yunyue, "Yueyue, the money has already been given to your grandma."

"Well, well, mother, it's good if you give it."

After Yue Yue finished speaking, without waiting for her mother to speak, she continued to speak: "Mother, how much money did you give grandma?"

When Fang heard her daughter's question, she smiled and stretched out her right hand to tap her daughter's forehead, and then replied, "Yue, mother only gave your grandma 100 taels of silver."

When Yanyue heard that her mother only gave her grandmother 100 taels of silver, she felt a little depressed and said, "Mother, why did you only give 100 taels? The conditions of grandma's family are so difficult, why don't you give more?"

Mrs. Fang was not unhappy when she heard that her daughter asked each other like this, but continued to explain in a good temper: "Yue, mother has mother's considerations, and when I give your grandma money, your grandma will never hide it. Tuck it in, after we leave, your grandma will definitely tell your uncle and aunt, so Mother thought about giving less and giving it later."

After listening to her mother's explanation, Yue Yue knew that she hadn't thought carefully, so she mistakenly thought that her mother was reluctant.

What her mother said was right, with her grandmother's upright character, her grandmother would definitely tell her uncle and aunt about her mother's money.

And her mother can't guarantee whether her mother's family is honest and honest, and whether there are kind-hearted family members. After all, if her mother gives her grandmother a few hundred taels at a time, once a habit is formed, then good intentions will become extremely bad things.

Therefore, Yue Yue didn't struggle too much, but it was also at this moment that Yue Yue realized that her mother had changed a lot before she knew it, and she thought about things more than when she just came to this world. When it was time, it was not a star and a half.

So, when the family was talking and laughing and driving the ox cart back to Longyuan Village, Yanyue was in a good mood again and hummed the song Chongerfei that she liked very much.

And when she hummed a few words, her eldest sister also hummed along with her. Fang looked at the two daughters who were very excited, and took the hand of the younger son and squeezed it gently. Under the puzzled eyes of his son, he smiled gently.

Seeing his mother's gentle smile, Ouyang Mu was a little confused, but he didn't get too entangled, but sat beside his mother obediently, without saying a word.
