Rebirth of the farmer's daughter-in-law

Chapter 47

Aunt Chen saw that she was signaling the girl to accept it, and said with a smile: "Because this lantern made your sister-in-law cry? Quickly bring it here and let me have a look. By the way, I even called your uncle to come over."

Meng Duo hurriedly took Sanchun and Siya over. Siya cried so hard that her eyes were red, and she saw Xuan'er sitting in the sedan chair still staring.

Aunt Chen ordered the tulle to be lifted, surrounded by maids and mothers-in-law, and others couldn't really see what was shining.

"This girl is not afraid of strangers, she is more rare than those awkward girls." Aunt Chen said with a smile when she saw her aggrieved face.

Xuan'er is a child after all, so he forgot the unhappiness before, pointed at Siya and said with a smile: "It's so interesting to see you crying like a red-eyed rabbit!"

"You..." After hearing this, Si Ya's tears began to roll again.

"Xuan'er, don't be rude!" Chen's aunt stopped drinking in a soft voice, she stretched out her hand to grab Siya's hand and looked at it carefully, "You are pretty, but a little thinner. How old are you? You do it every day. what?"

"Back to my aunt, my name is Siya, and I am seven years old. At home, I can't do much more than light the fire and pick up the dishes. The second sister-in-law is working hard alone." Siya spoke quickly, and a series of words like Big beads and small beads fell on the jade plate, which made people feel refreshed.

Aunt Chen's eyes warmed up when she heard this, "It's pitiful to do rough work at such a young age." She let go of Siya's hand and looked at Sanchun again, and she wondered secretly when she saw him.

The child was wearing a coarse cotton padded jacket, and his whole body was neat and tidy. Seeing her look him up and saluted, he didn't look flustered at all.

They are just children from a small family and a poor family. They are not afraid to speak up when they see themselves. This brother and sister are quite special.

"Mother, I'm hungry." Xuan'er next to her said as if twisting her hips.

After hearing this, Chen's grandma said: "I came out in a hurry today, and I didn't specially prepare a meeting gift." She glanced at Shiliu as she spoke.

Seeing that the two children fell into the eyes of the master, Shiliu quickly took out four silver picks, and put them into the hands of the two children when the master nodded slightly.

"How can this be done?" Meng Duo hastily declined, and Sanchun and Siya didn't even dare to accept it when they saw each other.

Aunt Chen deliberately said with a straight face: "You gave the Xuan'er lantern, it's normal for me to return the gift, you must accept it."

"Then I would like to thank my aunt for the reward." How dare Meng Duo take it as a gift in return?What's more, one of the silver ladles is worth two taels of silver, and four of them are eight taels of silver!They brought over a cart full of lanterns and candied melons, all worth that much.

After hearing this, Sanchun and Siya bowed to Aunt Chen, said words of thanks, and took the silver picks and handed them to Meng Duo.

It was inconvenient to say more on the street, and Xuan'er was in a hurry to go to the restaurant for dinner, and Grandma Chen took her son into the sedan chair and left.

Xiao Qiang stood on tiptoe and watched for a while, and came over when he saw the people leaving, "My mother, that girl and woman are wearing gold and silver, so it can be seen that they are really wealthy people."

He has never seen any big world, but when he saw Douhua coming back in a big carriage, her body was covered with silk and satin, and her neck, wrists, and fingers were all glittering with gold, so he thought she was rich.Glancing at the posture of Chen's aunt right now, one knows that the real wife of a wealthy family can be seen by anyone casually?Just like this, there are ups and downs.

"Although the rules are big, but you don't bully others, you are a good master." Meng Da has always been worried about Meng Duo's work in the Chen family, but now he is completely relieved to see the grandma of the Chen family.

The aroma of cooking Yuanxiao came from nearby, and Siya immediately forgot the unhappiness just now and clamored to eat.

Meng Da and the others set off from home early in the morning, and ate a few cornmeal pancakes with cold water at noon.I'm already hungry at this hour, let alone the children.

"Okay, let's go eat boiled Yuanxiao." Meng laughed and stroked Siya's head.

Just as the table was vacant, several people from Meng Da went to sit down and ordered five bowls of Lantern Festival.The small stalls sell large quantities of food and the prices are fair. Even Meng Da is [-]% full after eating, and Si Ya and San Chun are even more full.

"Let's go, let's go shopping too!" Xiao Qiang suggested seeing that the street was still busy.

Meng Da did not object to grabbing Si Ya's hand, Meng Duo held San Chun, and Xiao Qiang took the lead, sandwiching them between them.

Meng Duo didn't go shopping a lot when she came to the town a few times, and the stalls on the side of the road were one after another, and she was dazzled by the variety of goods.Needle thread brain, rouge gouache, all kinds of snacks, yelling one after another.

Girls like to go shopping, and Meng Duo is no exception.Looking at the various hair accessories and jewelry on the stall, she was a little tempted.But touching her pocket, she felt it was a luxury to even take a second look.

"Come and have a look, cheap and beautiful headgear!" The old man who set up the stall hurriedly yelled when he saw someone coming, and when he saw Meng Duo turned around, he hurriedly greeted, "Come and see what you are afraid of. You don't need money. If you like it, try it. If you don't like it, you don't have to buy it." .”

"Let's have a look." Meng Da whispered a few steps to the front of the stall, and Meng Duo had no choice but to follow.

The stall owner became more enthusiastic when he saw the guests, and picked up two or three hairpins and asked Meng Duo to try them on.

"Let's go." Meng Duo said shyly.

Meng Da didn't move when he heard that, he picked up one and looked at it, "This one is good, try it." After speaking, he handed it over, but his eyes were lowered.

Meng Da and the others were strolling casually in the street, and came across enthusiastic vendors selling headgear and jewelry.Meng Duo is a girl who definitely loves beauty, but she thinks that the situation at home is so rare that she doesn't even take a second look.Seeing this, Meng Da walked over and picked one up on his own initiative for her to try on.

"It's so beautiful!" Si Ya took the hairpin from Meng Da's hand and gestured on Meng Duo's head, "Second sister-in-law will definitely look good in it!"

"Don't try it, I don't like it." Meng Duo glanced at the hairpin, carved in wood, with a crabapple flower on the head, not fancy but elegant.

Meng Da saw it and said: "Sanchun and Siya both made new clothes for the new year, and you made a lot of delicious food for them. You have worked hard for a year, so don't be so stingy with yourself. This hairpin is pretty good. If it suits you, just buy it. If you don’t like this style, then look at other ones, or go to another stall.”

The old man became anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "No one has everything that I have. These are the latest styles. Many wives and young ladies buy from me. This hairpin in the shape of crabapple is the best seller this year. Well, it matches... Madam's delicate appearance is just right." He heard Si Ya call Meng Duo's second sister-in-law, and only then did he know that this young girl is actually married.

Meng Duo was taken aback for a moment, because no one had ever called her that.But when I think about my status as a widow, I feel that this name is not bad.

Sanchun was also encouraging, but Meng Duo couldn't stand the pressure of the three brothers and sisters, so he had to stick the hairpin on his head.
