The Little Dumb Wife of the Mountain People

Chapter 160 Heartless Fat Smirk
Wen Bao was very tired when she returned to the county seat. After checking the accounts for a day and a half, she finally checked all the accounts of the duck farm and the workshop. In the remaining half of the day, she inspected these two places, following what Wu Wanjin said , after sorting it out, she suggested a lot of things that needed to be revised.

Tuantuan participated in the whole process, what Wen Bao meant was that even if she couldn't understand why, she still had to remember what she had done.

Pangpang played with Song Dalang for two days without heart and soul, but he couldn't understand the meaning of the gaze cast on him by his sister at this moment.

"Mother, is it time for Pangpang to learn something, or should I teach him when I get home? It's not okay to play crazy all day long."

"Well, you are the eldest sister, so naturally you should teach him."

Wen Bao glanced at Tuantuan and Pangpang and knew what was going on. She felt that it was necessary for her daughter to vent her anger at her son's behavior of playing wildly for two days after her daughter had no chance to play wild.

"Yes, I am the eldest sister, and I really want to teach him well."

Pang Pang still didn't understand what Wen Bao meant, he only knew that his sister was smiling when he saw him, so he returned the smirk.

Chubby's smirk made Tuantuan very unfulfilling. She hugged Chubby who stretched out her arms to hug him, and asked sideways, "Mother, is there a banquet tomorrow or when?"

"Tomorrow, we will go directly to Zhuangzi tonight. Your fourth uncle and the others have already arrived."

Speaking of this, Wen Bao paused, and said to the outside of the car: "Da Lang, you don't need to go directly to the county seat later, let's go to the Zhuangzi of uncle's house."

"I know, uncle told me about the place yesterday."

After Song Dalang replied from outside the car, Wen Bao looked away at Tuantuan and Pangpang, "Mother designed new clothes for you, I guess your fourth aunt must have made them for you, and you can wear them tomorrow."

Speaking of new clothes, Pang Pang is still not very interested, but Tuantuan is very happy.

"Mom, is the new hat ready?"

"It's done, but you'll have to earn your own money for your new clothes and hat."

Wen Bao was dumbfounded as soon as he finished talking. She did have private money, but she didn't want to spend it.

After taking a look at Tuantuan, Wen Bao said softly: "You don't need to pay the money now. Tomorrow you will be responsible for selling skirts, hats, etc. to your little friends. The more you sell, the more commission you will get. This is your first Doing business independently once is not the same as you used to set up a stall in the market."

Tuantuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that he would take out the money now if he didn't need it, and then listened carefully to his mother's description of what she was going to do tomorrow.

Wen Bao wasn't worried at all that Tuantuan couldn't do well. Her mother said that when she was four or five years old, she knew how to trade candy from the grocery store at home with others.

Although Wen Bao couldn't speak at that time and was deceived every time, she already knew how to do business.

Going to Zhuangzi is much closer than the county seat. When Wen Bao's family arrived at Zhuangzi, Wen Chengquan's family had already arrived.

"Sister Tuantuan, younger brother Chubby."

The little six, Wen Zhuoqian, stood at the door and started barking when he saw the mule cart. Tuantuan and Pangpang immediately answered at the top of their voices when they heard his voice.

This is the case among the children, but they haven't seen each other for two days, and they become as happy as if they haven't seen each other for decades.

Song Dalang drove the mule cart directly into Zhuangzi, Wen Bao was too tired these two days, she thought she could get used to traveling outside, but who knew that she was really tired after doing a little work while she was pregnant.

"It's not as good as when Huai Tuantuan had enjoyed the blessings for a few years, but now I'm really lazy."

After Wen Bao was helped down by Song Dalang, Wen Bao said such a sentence, Wen Liushi stood aside and said with a smile: "Traveling is tiring, my sister needs to rest for a few more days after tomorrow, and it's not too late to think about going out for fun."

Wen Bao nodded and said, "Yes, I need to rest for a few more days."

When she lay down on the reclining chair, the mother-in-law in the village brought mung bean soup to relieve the heat, and then she sighed comfortably.

Wen Liushi also asked the woman to move a recliner to lie next to Wen Bao, the shade of the tree just covered them, and the women on the nearby ground had just sprinkled water, a gust of wind blew, and their hot hearts finally calmed down.

"This Zhuangzi is cooler than the county town."

The Liu family also had a Zhuangzi in the south of the Yangtze River, but it wasn't hers. When she arrived in Nanning County, she didn't buy a Zhuangzi, and there were only a few Zhuangzi near the lotus lake like this.

"The current pond in Songjia Village is also pretty good, you will know when you go back this year."

As soon as Wen Bao finished speaking, Wen Liushi nodded and said, "It's time to go back."

Wen Liushi's tone caught Wen Bao's attention, she glanced sideways at Wen Liushi and said, "What's wrong?"

"The date for the inspection from above has been fixed. In the golden autumn of this year, I'm going to have a baby. The third sister-in-law probably will be at that time. You may be later, but you will be old at that time, just hide at home."

Finally hearing the exact news, Wen Bao heaved a sigh of relief and at the same time wondered that there seemed to be something wrong with Wen Liushi's attitude.

"Winter will probably be the end of the inspection. My father said that his transfer order next year will be issued earlier. After the new year, he should go to the capital to report on his work."

"The capital?"

Hearing about the capital, Wen Bao's first reaction was to frown. Don't think that the capital is such a good place. A county magistrate like Mr. Liu passed by at most because of his good achievements in the past few years. The empress and Liu's family contributed at the same time and went up two levels. , but in this way, he also became a target.

"Can't you serve as a magistrate again?"

Compared with being an official in the capital, it is natural to have more freedom in the local area.

What's more, Mr. Liu, the county magistrate of Nanning County, may become a thorn in the side of many people after the inspection from above.

"No, after six years abroad, you must return to Beijing to serve for three years. If there is a decree from the higher ups in the three years, you may be able to be released as an official. If not, you will have to be a dispensable official in the capital for three years."

"Don't worry too much, won't there be inspectors coming in a few months? At that time, let's see if we can find a way to make Uncle Liu an official near the capital.

The vicinity of the capital is under the jurisdiction of the capital, but it is not in the capital, so it must be much more convenient. "

Wen Bao's words made Wen Liushi's mind flash. This is indeed a good idea. The three states attached to the capital are only as big as a county seat, but because they are close to the capital city, they are larger than the county seat in terms of level.

This is indeed a good idea.

With an idea in mind, Wen Liushi was in the mood to talk about this banquet with Wen Bao.

"All the invitations have been sent out, and all the news have come back. The clothes for the children are in the yard where your family will live. Auntie will accompany them tomorrow."

When it came to the business, Wen Liushi immediately got serious, and she explained everything in detail, from the arrangements tomorrow morning to the dishes at noon, the snacks during the lake tour, and the gifts for the return trip.

"Sister-in-law Si is doing very well. I don't know much about these things. I am very relieved to have you."

Wen Bao really didn't have Wen Liushi's understanding of these things, after all, she had no experience in organizing banquets in this ancient times.

In the evening, Wen Bao saw the new clothes that Wen Liushi had prepared for Tuantuan and Pangpang. The clothes that incorporated many elements from her memory were very distinctive. Although the frilly dress had long sleeves, this kind of skirt turned around It will be very beautiful.

Wen Bao remembered that when he was young in his previous life, one of his favorite things to do was to run around in the open space.

At that time, she would compete with others to see who would get the bigger circle.

The next morning, Wen Bao helped Tuantuan put on her new dress, and she braided her hair into two braids.

Compared with the delicate ruffle dresses, the fat new clothes are much simpler.

But it doesn't matter for boys to show their arms and legs, so Wen Bao spent all morning dressing up Tuantuan.

Pang Pang looked at Tuan Tuan in his new clothes, and kept saying that his sister was beautiful with a small mouth.

Wen Bao's family dressed up and left the yard. The skirt she wore was the same style as Tuantuan's, a frilly dress. She braided her hair and put it on top of her head, with only a fresh lotus flower on her head.

Wen Liushi is wearing a lotus skirt, like layers of lotus flowers piled on her body, but the cumbersome skirt is not thick.

In the county town, because they were going outside the city, every family went out early, and horse-drawn carriages came out of the city gate, and soon came to the Zhuangzi outside the city.

Wen Bao and his entourage were waiting at the gate of Zhuangzi, and Yao Shi came with her natal family. As soon as the two carriages arrived, the Liu family's carriage followed.

"Sister Yao Lin, sister Mengyao."

Tuantuan was wearing a hat, and her braids jumped up as she ran. When she was running towards the carriage, she could actually see a few dragonflies landing on the flounced skirt.

Yao Lin and Liu Mengyao got out of the carriage and saw Tuantuan dressed differently from usual, and immediately exclaimed.

"Tuantuan, your new dress is so beautiful."

"Really? The fourth aunt also made new skirts for you, and it's in Zhuangzi."

Yao Lin and Liu Mengyao cheered happily when they heard that they also had new dresses.

The girls are always excited when they hear new clothes, and they cheer and run to Zhuangzi to see the new clothes.

"These girls look peaceful at home, but when they get together, they become noisy."

As soon as Yao shi finished speaking, the others followed behind and responded, but their eyes were on the hats on Wen Bao and Wen Liu's heads and their skirts.

For women, whether it's jewelry or clothes, they always attract their attention, especially Wen Bao and Wen Liushi are holding something they haven't seen before.

We welcomed everyone into Zhuangzi, and soon, other guests also arrived at Zhuangzi.

After all the guests arrived, the Yao family and the Liu family who came first had already known about the hats Wen Bao and the others were wearing today and the bags they were carrying. After a brief introduction, the group went to the lotus lake to take a boat tour.

There are some snacks on board, mint juice added to the exquisite snacks, it tastes very cool and refreshing, but Tuantuan pulls the children and mutters about the dishes at noon today.

"You all eat less. The cook at noon is the cook of my uncle's grandfather's restaurant. He cooks delicious dishes. I went to the kitchen to see them in the morning. There are many dishes."

In terms of food, the children are still very convinced of Tuantuan's food. After all, Tuantuan's food is delicious, which is something that all the children in the academy know.

"Tuantuan, can we make your new dress?"

"Yes, it's in my fourth aunt's shop, if you want your family to send someone to say hello and ask them to come to your house to measure you.

But let me tell you, it’s best for you to go to the store to choose. This time, my fourth aunt has made a lot of new styles of skirts and bags, as well as hats like mine. You have to go to the store to choose. "

This is the first time that Tuantuan has faced everyone to sell things according to Wen Bao's prompts. Of course, Wen Bao also promised her that she would give her a commission for everything she sold.

After listening to Tuantuan's words, the children immediately discussed what kind of skirt they wanted.

"I'm shorter than you, so I might not look good in such a skirt."

The lotus leaf skirt worn by Tuantuan was really pretty, but the little girl who was talking was short and fat. It was really cute to look chubby, but this kind of skirt was a bit too cumbersome for her.

"Sister Xiaowen, don't worry, there are not only this style of skirt, but also many other styles, you will know when you go to see it.

I heard from my mother and fourth aunt that in the future there will be clothes specially designed for people in the store, but the price is not cheap. "

"It's okay, I have private money, and my mother gave me a lot."

Both Xiaowen's family and her mother's family are in business, she is a child loved by the two parents, and money is not difficult for her, so she immediately opened her mouth after hearing what Tuantuan said.

Tuantuan looked at Xiaowen and smiled, walked to her side and whispered into her ear: "My fourth aunt's shop still wears shoes that look taller, so when you go, ask the shopkeeper in secret to mention my shoes. The name, she'll tell you."

"real!"

"Of course, how could I lie to you?"

The two little girls talked furtively for a while, and finally looked at each other and smiled.

They would be talking furtively, and the other kids were talking, and their love of new clothes kept them talking.

The adults sat aside, and after they finished talking about the new clothes, they would naturally talk about other things.

For example, the matter that the higher-ups will come to inspect in autumn.
