Rebirth of the farmer's daughter-in-law

Chapter 34

These two things are often eaten in the countryside. Meng Duo went to the ground to bake pancakes for her, and asked Sanchun to go home and bring some radish and pickles sent by Widow Chen.

Widow Chen's family is so poor that even the mice are starved and thin. The radish is only pickled with some coarse salt, and there is not even a star anise.However, she had an appetite for tofu curd, so she ate two large pancakes and a large plate of radish and pickles by herself.

"Take one bite less, at worst, take it with you when you leave..." Seeing Dou Hua's expression froze when he heard this, Meng Duo hurriedly stopped.

There is no never-ending banquet in the world, and Meng Duo mentioned that leaving immediately made the atmosphere in the room down.Douhua looked at the sky, thinking that she was going to go back soon, her heart was turning and turning, and she couldn't tell the pain.

Westinghouse's wife came over to urge her, saying that she would not be able to go back before sunset on the road.No matter how favored Douhua is, there is no reason to spend the night at her mother's house.The driver in the yard started to set up the car, and Douhua's father's eyes were red when he saw it, but her mother scolded softly: "You old thing that is worthless, my daughter flew up to a branch and became a phoenix, you are crying and crying, so bad luck! Master Wang loves us so much." Girlfriend, I can come back next time."

Douhua has already called Erbao to her, and told him not to be naughty, but to listen to his father and be filial to his parents.

That second treasure is only one year younger than Douhua, and he has already talked about his marriage, so he should be an adult.But he was born with a naive spirit, and he just nodded when he heard what his sister said, but he didn't quite understand it.

Seeing that his mouth was full of pastries, Dou Hua couldn't help but sighed, took out a Jinkerchief to wipe his mouth, and swallowed back his full stomach.

The woman urged her again, and Douhua had no choice but to leave.She was helped into the carriage by the girl, looked at Meng Duo, her parents, and younger brother, and wanted to speak but whimpered.

No matter how bad this home was, it was the place where she was born and raised.As the saying goes, a golden nest and a silver nest are not as good as your own doghouse!Although her own mother was greedy for money and vulgar, and beat and scolded her frequently, she didn't know what torture was until she arrived at the Wang family.With a pot of fire in the light and a knife in the dark, the wolves looked around and couldn't even sleep peacefully.

"Go back quickly, so as not to offend Mr. Wang. Your younger brother has already talked about his wife, and they will get married after the new year and the first month. You should come back to save face for him, and see who dares to gossip behind his back! "Her mother said with a flattering smile while grabbing the edge of the car.

This remark chilled Dou Hua's reluctance to leave home a bit, she turned her head and told the driver to go on the road, and put down the curtain in her hand.

The carriage started rumbling, and it was going faster and faster. Erbao suddenly chased after him and shouted, "Sister, when are you coming back? I miss you! I miss you..."

Meng Duo saw the curtain of the car being raised, and vaguely saw Douhua wiping tears.Although this Erbao's head is not very bright, but his mind is simple and there is no detour.His words were so true that she felt sad.

Seeing that the carriage was gone, Meng Duo took Sanchun and Siya home.The two children were very excited and talked a lot, mostly talking about the clothes of Dou Hua and the gorgeous carriage.

"Although the snacks brought back by Sister Douhua are delicious, they are not as delicious as those brought back by the second sister-in-law last time. The second sister-in-law will tell us more about the wealth of the Chen family, so that the second treasure will not be proud of me." Sanchun knew that Meng Duo was in Chen When doing things at home, judging only from the taste of the dim sum, I believe that the Chen family is richer than the Wang family, and my words have a bit of reluctance to be inferior.

Meng Duo frowned when he heard this, looked at him and said solemnly: "The wealth of a family is their business, we only care about our peaceful life. Besides, how big is a Chen family town? The Wang family and the Chen family are just the richest people in the town. Households, you may not be ranked first in the county, but what about the prefecture? I have never studied, so I don’t know how many prefectures, counties, and towns there are in our Celestial Dynasty. Naturally, I don’t know how many wealthy families there are. There is an old saying that there is a mountain high, and it must be good. My uncle just ate dim sum from Chen and Wang, so he thought he was right. He was really a frog in the bottom of the well! When the spring came, uncle sent my uncle to school. After gaining experience, I will know what I am today. That's too shallow."

After Sanchun heard this, he lowered his head and said nothing, Meng Duo glanced at him, saw that he was not pouting, but his face was full of thought, so he didn't bother him.It took her two lifetimes to gain some insights, and she didn't expect Sanchun to understand immediately.

When they got home, Sanchun lay motionless on the kang, and Siya teased the puppy.Seeing that the sun was good, Meng Duo took the quilt and mattress outside to dry.

"Papa, papa!" She tapped with a clean stick, and as soon as she straightened up, she saw Meng Da carrying a pole into the yard.

She put down the stick when she saw it, and reached out to help take off the pole from Meng Da's shoulder.

"It's rare that there is such a good weather in winter." Meng Da stomped his feet and said, "I went to the town to buy some new year's goods, and brought them to the house."

Meng Duo hurriedly called Sanchun and Siya to come out, she carried a basket, and the two children dragged the other basket into it together.

Open the basket and cover it with a cloth to reveal the contents.

"Eggs!" Siya shouted in surprise, "There's also pork!"

After hearing this, Meng Duo lowered his head and couldn't help but whispered: "How much money will it cost?" She really cared about the money, the family didn't have any money, and now she didn't even have enough rations to count on. Isn't this just sitting and eating?
Seeing her frowning, Meng Da smiled, "I haven't eaten pork or eggs once a year, and I bought some just in time for the Chinese New Year. I didn't spend much money, and I still have a lot left."

Meng Da beat many rabbits back and forth, skinned them and bought the meat.Meng Duo skillfully washed the fur and made it into a small gown.Meng Da took it to the town and bought it for [-] Wen apiece, but he didn't expect it to be sold out in the blink of an eye, and he regretted asking for less.

He is not a person who spends money recklessly, he made some calculations in his heart, and estimated that the family's money could be spent, so he bought some good things resolutely.

"Here, here's the rest of the money, you take it well." He left home without asking Meng Duo for money, and when he came back, he not only picked up two baskets of New Year's goods, but also had dozens of Wen left over.

Seeing this, Meng Duo couldn't say anything more, Siya had already opened another basket, and pulled out a beautiful floral cloth from it, "It's so beautiful, is it for the second sister-in-law?"

"Don't get dirty." Meng Da reprimanded lightly, and glanced at Meng Duo, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Meng Duo stretched his neck to look over, and was immediately attracted by the lake-blue color, covered with small white flowers, which looked elegant and light.Before she could speak, Meng Dayi turned around and went out with a strange expression on his face.

How did she understand Meng Da's thoughts?When Meng Da saw that she had made new cotton clothes for the two children and himself, he felt very sorry. This time, he went to the town to choose a piece of material at the cloth store.

All the shoppers in the cloth shop were women's, so he was a little embarrassed when he broke in as a big man.He wanted to come out, but the young man was too enthusiastic, and he would not let go of his introduction, saying "the lady of the guest officer will definitely like it".

He wanted to explain, but the women next to him immediately chattered, saying things like "a good man like him is rare", "it's hard to expect a man to accompany you shopping, let alone buy materials".
