Chapter 297: Are They Eye-to-Eye!
After breakfast, the boys in the family all went out, went to the shop, went to the school, leaving only the male baby who could walk the taro, Li was cleaning up the house, seeing that the bamboo that was guarding Qing'er was a little troubled, Brother Xiang seemed to have a good impression of Zhu'er, but the Li family would not allow it, although the family has been a farmer for generations, but now Brother Bin is out of the picture, and he wants to go to Beijing for the scientific examination.
Tang Qing'er was talking to her mother, but her mother was obviously wandering, so she couldn't help but walk over, tugged at her mother's sleeve and said, "Mother, what if I talk to you?" ”
"Ah, what did you say?" Li asked with a sense of relief.
Tang Qing'er said: "Mother, I said that the day is so good today, let's go to the market, how about it?" ”
Li Shi said angrily: "You are now in this body, don't say that you go to the town, and if you stay at home, Xun'er is afraid that you will bump into it." ”
"Mother's ......" didn't expect to go back to her parents' house, and the entry and exit were still so unfree, and she couldn't help but beg.
Li shook his head and said, "You can still talk to your sisters at home with peace of mind, don't always think about going out of here." After saying that, Li took the rag out of the road,
Tang Qing'er followed her closely like a little tail, and explained: "Mother, you see that I am not too old now, so let's go to the town for a while, or let's take my sisters to the jewelry store to have a look, okay?" ”
"No! When Xun'er went out in the morning, he came to me and told me that if you begged me to take you to the market, I would not be able to say anything to you. Li Shi washed the rag and said lightly.
"Mother...... didn't expect Xue Qianxun to go out, and didn't forget to tell her that her mother was not allowed to take her out.
The Li family was already troubled, and was a little upset by Qing'er's ink, so he didn't bother to take care of her, turned around and went to the kitchen to clean up, Zhu'er stood behind Mrs. and said to Lu'er: "You are looking at Mrs. here, I will go to the kitchen to help the old lady work." ”
Lu'er nodded, and Zhu'er followed behind Li and said, "Old lady, it's better for the slave to help you clean up!" You accompany the young lady into the house to talk. ”
Li Shi lived up to the smile on his face in the morning, his expression was indifferent at this time, and he said in a cold tone: "No, I can clean it up by myself." ”
Zhu'er was shocked by the expression on the old lady's face, and said in a panic: "Old lady, but what did the slave do wrong to make you angry." ”
Seeing her body trembling, Li sighed slightly in his heart: "It's nothing, it's just that I'm in a bad mood, I'll clean it up myself, you can take care of Qing'er!" "Actually, she is a good girl, but the fault is that she is a maid, if it is an ordinary girl, she will definitely let Brother Xiang marry her, now Brother Xiang has a good impression of her, and when Brother Xiang comes back in the evening, she is bound to talk to him well.
Zhu'er Fu said: "That...... The slave and maid will not bother the old lady. ”
Zhu'er looked back at Li's busy figure in the kitchen step by step, she walked to her wife's side, her mood was a little low, and she stood aside with a gloomy face.
Tang Qing'er was talking to Jiao'er and Lu'er, and when she saw that Zhu'er seemed to have something on her mind, she asked, "Zhu'er, what's wrong?" Just now, how did she come out of the kitchen, her face was so bad, could it be ...... "It won't be her mother who vented her anger in the morning on Zhu'er!" This is really a fire at the city gate, and it will affect the fish in the pond.
Zhu'er lowered her head and said with tears in her eyes: "Mrs. Hui, the slave and maid have nothing to do." ”
Since she didn't want to say it, Tang Qing'er didn't continue to ask, thinking about going to talk to her mother for a while, don't sprinkle any anger on outsiders, at this time Man'er took Taro's hand and walked over slowly, Taro wanted to run to Qing'er's side, but Man'er grabbed her, so she could only shout at the top of her voice: "Sister, sister, let's go out and go yo-yo." ”
Tang Qing'er cooperated with him and curled her mouth, and said aggrievedly: "The eldest sister also wants to go, but my mother won't let me,"
Taro let go of Man'er's hand vigorously, and finally walked to the eldest sister's side, took her hand and said, "Find your mother...... Looking for a mother...... Go to town to catch the market. ”
Tang Qing'er smiled and said, "Okay, let's go," and said to the person behind him: "You go back to the house and stay!" I'll just go to the kitchen with Taro,"
Zhu'er and Lu'er said in unison: "Madame......"
Tang Qing'er waved her hand and said, "It's okay, what can happen at home, don't make a fuss." He took Taro's hand and walked to the kitchen.
When he arrived at the kitchen, Li was cleaning up the stove, and Tang Qing'er said with a smile: "My mother is diligent." ”
Taro also said: "Mother...... Mother......"
Li put down the rag in his hand, looked up at the two little enemies in front of him and said, "What are you doing here?" ”
Tang Qing'er let go of Taro's hand, sat on the stool on the side, and said carefully: "Mother, did you reprimand Zhu'er just now?" I saw that her eyes were a little red when she came out of the kitchen. ”
Li glared at her and said, "Didn't say anything?" She wanted to help me with the work, but I didn't let me. ”
"Yesterday she helped you work, didn't you still praise her in front of the whole family, why did she change today." It can't be that her mother also suffers from the 'menopause' that modern women are prone to at this age!
Li Shi held back his anger and said: "I blame you for this, it was a happy thing for you to go home, who would have thought that you would come back with a maid, but now it's good, Brother Xiang seems to like Zhu'er, can you say that your grandmother and your uncle and uncle can be happy?" ”
Tang Qing'er was a little stunned by the news, and opened her mouth in surprise: "Mother, are you kidding!" ”
Li hugged the taro who was walking towards the place where the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar were placed, and said, "I hope it's a joke too!" ”
Tang Qing'er thought about it and said: "Mother, this is not a good idea, Zhu'er is smart and clever, and the female red chef is proficient in everything, if Brother Xiang marries such a daughter-in-law, he will only have a happy life in the future." ”
Li walked up to Qing'er with the taro in his arms, stretched out his hand and poked her forehead and said: "Why don't you take a look at what your grandmother's family is like now, Brother Bin will take the exam in Beijing this year, if it is the title of the gold list, Brother Xiang is to marry the young ladies of the big families in the town, how can you marry a maid." ”
Tang Qing'er said: "Mother, what's the use of fancy these, a simple person like Brother Xiang, if he marries a young lady from a big family, he will only be angry in the future." ”
"Even if you don't marry a young lady from a big family, it's okay to marry a girl from an ordinary family, Zhu'er, this girl, my mother also knows that she is sensible and intelligent, and she is proficient in all crafts, but she is a maid after all, or a maid who serves you, which makes your grandmother think what they think, and how to accept it." Li said slowly.
"That's what my mother said, maybe these are all your guesses? After all, Zhu'er and Brother Xiang only met yesterday, how could they ......" There is often a saying of love at first sight in this world, Tang Qing'er paused for a moment, and suddenly remembered this sentence.
Li patted the little buttocks of the taro moving in her arms and said, "Don't mess around, be honest." He turned his head to Qing'er and said, "Mother also hopes that I think too much, but I am afraid that Brother Xiang's expression will be ...... in the morning."
Tang Qing'er said: "Mother, let's take a look at it in the evening." ”
"I hope it's as you say!" Li sighed.
Seeing that the mother and the eldest sister didn't speak, Taro said: "Mother, go to the town, go to the town to catch the market." ”
Li reprimanded: "Honestly stay at home, and want to go to the town to catch the market, you are saying such things, believe it or not, I will spank your ass." ”
Taro hurriedly stretched out his fat little hand to cover his buttocks, and said pitifully: "Mother, bad, bad, hit my ass." ”
Li Shi was amused by Taro's fairy tale and said, "You little devil! ”
Tang Qing'er followed the words and said: "Mother, since Taro also wants to go to the town, let's go out for a while to see the clothes, fabrics and some jewelry, okay?" ”
Li shook his head and said, "When you go back to your mother-in-law's house, Taro wants to go, and I will take him there again." "How clear this is, unless you go back to Xue Mansion, you won't wait for her to go to the town if you say anything.
Tang Qing'er said pitifully: "Mother...... "If her mother doesn't take her, who can take her to the town for a stroll and breathe."
"When Xun'er comes back at noon, let him take you." Now the daughter is the daughter-in-law of the Xue family, pregnant with the flesh and blood of the Xue family, if there is an accident accompanied by her, how can she explain to her son-in-law and in-laws.
"Yes." Tang Qing'er hung her head and said dejectedly, if she asked Xue Qianxun to take her, it would be better not to mention it, and if she mentioned this guy, she might have some way to blackmail her.
Seeing that Qing'er no longer went out of the house with her ink, Li finally showed his face and said: "This is obedient!" ”
This time it was Tang Qing'er's turn to cry and laugh a little and said: "Mother, I am no longer a little baby, and now I am still pregnant with a baby in my belly, you can't say that about me, if Taro understands things, you have to laugh at me." ”
Li Shi smiled lightly: "How can he laugh at you, you are also her eldest sister." ”
Taro clapped his hands and agreed: "Eldest sister, eldest sister." ”
Tang Qing'er scratched his nose and said, "The taro mouth is so sweet." ”
Li put down the taro and said, "You guys hurry up, I'm cleaning up the kitchen, and I'll talk to you." ”
Tang Qing'er stood up, took Taro's hand and said, "Let's go!" Since my mother didn't agree to let us go to the town, the eldest sister went back to the house to tell you a story. ”
Taro didn't understand what storytelling was, so she blinked her eyes and said, "Sister, what is storytelling?" ”
Tang Qing'er lowered her head and said to him, "It's about how a wolf eats a lamb." ”
"Sheep? Is it the white sheep we saw back in the village? Taro still remembers the last time he went back to Tangjia Village, he met white sheep, black cows and some chickens on the road.
"Yes," Tang Qing'er nodded.
When Taro heard this, he said anxiously: "Then the eldest sister hurry up and go into the house to tell me a story." ”
Li shouted from behind: "Taro, don't drag the eldest sister away!" ”
Taro turned around and smiled at his mother, then raised his head and said to Tang Qing'er: "Eldest sister, if my mother doesn't promise me to go to town, I won't listen to her,"
Tang Qing'er stopped and reprimanded with a straight face: "Taro, don't talk like this, everyone in this world will lie to you, only your father and mother will not lie to you, and they will be good to you wholeheartedly." ”
Taro looked at the eldest sister's face with anger, lowered her head and clasped her fingers without squeaking, Tang Qing'er knew that what she said just now might have scared him, this brother in the family, when he was born, the life of the family was better, he had never been hungry since he was a child, and he did not have enough to eat, so he didn't understand why the younger brothers and sisters in the family listened to their father's words so much, and never went against their wishes.
