68. Two more in one
Chapter 68
Orange looked at Xiuxiu's satisfied expression and laughed out loud, "Look at the fried buns made of pear blossoms, how beautiful they are." Look at yours again, and the face is not opened. ”
Xiuxiu said disapprovingly: "It's delicious if it doesn't open, my mother must be happy." ”
"You just take the back, and your mother thinks it's fragrant!" Rika replied unceremoniously.
Orange snorted and laughed, which is true.
When Jia Shi saw his daughter come back with such a delicious fried bun, he was so excited that he almost cried. God has eyes, the girl is finally capable.
She used to be such a girl, reluctant to let her work, and always spoiled her. Seeing that when it's time to say goodbye, if you don't learn a little, you will suffer a loss when you get to your mother-in-law's house in the future!
She has been looking for a boy in the village for a long time, Xiao Huang is a top-notch, and he has craftsmanship, so he will definitely not worry about eating and drinking in the future. I'm afraid that there are many people who are worried about it.
Huang Lixing's grandson Huang hoe is also good, that is, next to Chi Pozi's family. Xiuxiu's personality is impulsive, if she doesn't move out to live, she will definitely quarrel for three days.
It's also good to come back to Li Hongda, who was admitted to Xiucai at a young age. But I am afraid that people will not look down on their family, and the nostrils of the village chief's family are looking at the sky.
In addition, Zhang Pengfei also withdrew after being admitted to Xiucai, and she didn't want her daughter to suffer a second crime.
That's it, let's show the third child the family affairs first.
Xiuxiu didn't know that her mother's mind turned a few times after such a while, and her sense of accomplishment was bursting, thinking about going to Orange's house to pickle pickles tomorrow.
Li Laoer, who was working in the yard, saw that he was about to get married, but there was no joy on his face. He had been dreaming of a wet face at night lately, and he was looking at him with a sigh of desire.
He is usually clever, and he is also confused at this moment.
Jia Shi glanced at his second son, worried about what he had done, and asked the third son to look at him carefully. got up and walked to the kitchen, and sure enough, none of them were worry-free, and the children were all debts.
**
As soon as Chi Dazhu finished eating, he was called to the old courtyard by Chi Yuanshan, yesterday's incident was so fierce, there must be a solution.
He wiped his mouth and followed without saying a word, and Orange had the heart to help, but he stopped him.
How can this kind of thing make the girl stand out, no matter how you say it, the girl has to pay attention to her reputation.
**
Chen was breastfeeding with rotten eggs, unaware of what was happening. Seeing Orange coming over with goat's milk, she hurriedly took the rotten egg out of her arms.
"This kid has such a big appetite, and it hurts me. I'm really guilty of having no milk. Although Chen said this, there was a look of love on his face, and he stretched out his fingers to tease the rotten eggs.
Orange has accepted the name of his younger brother as Rotten Egg, which is what the boys in the village used to call him when they were children. Listening to Sun's words, anyone who is called a rotten egg can count one finger.
She suddenly wondered what Songbai was called when she was a child, and whether it was also a?
Sun's didn't tell her whether she was alive or dead, which made Pear Blossom wonder what Songbai was called when he was a child.
In ancient times, there were no pacifiers, and the rotten eggs were too small, so it was all up to Chen's mouth. In this way, the rotten eggs are also happy, and they are not allowed to eat and pout.
Orange watched from the sidelines sighing, and when the rotten egg grows up, he has to honor the Chen family.
Seeing that she had been busy in the past two days, Chen's little face had lost weight, urging her to rest, otherwise it would be better to go and play with Pear Blossom for a while.
Orange put the milk on the head of the bed, peeled an egg for Chen, and said, "How can you be so squeamish, grandma is tired and panicked." I persuaded her for a long time before she went to bed and lay down for a while. ”
Chen brushed his orange hair back to his head, "They all say that the girl is the mother's intimate little padded jacket, isn't it." When Songbai comes back, my mother will definitely marry you in a beautiful way! ”
Orange nodded and tucked the corners of the quilt for Chen. Picking up the rotten egg and coaxing it, she held the child for the first time, and her hands were very raw.
Chen was beside her and pointed her out, and the rotten egg didn't cry, staring at the orange with round eyes.
In the past two days, he has grown up, and he is far more beautiful than when he was born.
**
The vegetables grown in the yard are all taken care of by the Huang family alone, and she is not young after all, and she is very tired from coming and going. The work in the field is only done by Chi Dazhu, and Orange sighed, how can this manpower not be enough.
Besides, the Huang family came to live after the first month, and it has been half a year, and the Chen family will definitely have to go home after the confinement.
The first priority is to hire someone.
After making up his mind, Orange waited for Chi Dazhu to talk to him when he came back.
Chi Yuanshan persuaded Dazhu not to take it to heart along the way, he felt very sorry for the second uncle. After the quarrel with the family last time, Dazhu took him in without saying a word.
Dazhu saw Yuanshan's thoughts, and patted him on the shoulder without saying anything. This nephew also grew up watching from a young age, and he didn't want to make it difficult for him.
Besides, his heart is full of rotten eggs now, where is he still angry.
There was also an uninvited guest in the old courtyard - Aunt Chi and Jiaojiao.
Seeing that Chi Dazhu was coming, Jiaojiao hurriedly brought him a stool, and said sweetly, "Second uncle, sit down." ”
Zhou snorted, this Jiaojiao was also very stammering with her when she was in their house, and when she saw that Chi Dazhu was rich, she went to their house again!
Aunt Chi glared at the Zhou family, she didn't see the Zhou family when she was not out of the cabinet, and the two of them were not in trouble.
Old man Chi didn't care about the swords, guns and swords of the two, coughed, and the room was quiet.
Chi Dazhu stepped forward and called "Dad" without saying anything, and he felt a little uncomfortable when he saw that Old Man Chi was now lying on the kang. Since he was a child, this father has loved the eldest and the third, but he just doesn't like his second son.
He had hope for this family again and again, and was broken by Old Man Chi and Mrs. Chi again and again. When the Chen family only gave birth to an orange girl, it was a complete falling out.
But he always knew in his heart that they were his father, mother, brother, and occasionally hoped that they would pay attention to him!
Old man Chi moistened his throat and said, "Da Zhu, yesterday you took an axe to cut down the Liang family, how can you say that you are wrong?" ”
Dazhu nodded, he did it, of course he admitted.
Zhou couldn't help but say on the side: "Since you admit that you did it, hurry up and pay the money!" And I look at the money in Langzhong, and pay me a piece! ”
Old man Chi coughed again and glanced at Chi Daliang. Chi Daliang immediately said: "You mother-in-law, can my second brother be the kind of person who doesn't admit it?" The second brother now has money in the family, so he won't care about this little money! ”
Zhou immediately nodded: "That is, the second brother is rich now, and his father is angry with him, shouldn't he take the money to see a doctor!" There are also supplements or something, but the key is not to work in the fields......"
This is when Chi Daliang came to discuss with Old Man Chi at night, and persuaded Old Man Chi bitterly before he nodded and agreed to let the second man lose money.
Chi Dazhu also understood when he heard this, if Old Man Chi directly told him that he would ask for money for medical treatment, he would immediately take it out without saying a word, but they turned a corner and said.
He only hated that he was born in such a family!
Chi Daliang and Zhou wanted to say something, but Dazhu stopped:
"We have a new person in the family, and it will be very expensive to eat and wear in the future. Besides, there is not much silver in the family, and these are all earned by oranges, which must be left to her as a dowry. Speaking of this, he glanced at Zhou fiercely, "Not all cats and dogs can marry my daughter!" ”
Zhou was stunned by his glare, but did not continue.
Their purpose today is to blackmail Chi Dazhu's money. Since Dazhu is willing to give, they don't care too much. It's not easy to talk about the next time you go to get the money.
Aunt Chi looked at the scene very stiffly, and secretly stabbed Mrs. Chi. Mrs. Chi twisted her body, she never cared about this second son, and she couldn't let go of her body for a while.
Da Zhu took out a tael of silver from his arms, this was something he had thought about in the middle of the night last night, and he already knew too well what the faces of the people in the old courtyard were.
It's his dearest relative, and he keeps parting!
Chi Daliang was a little dissatisfied, he felt that he would have to pay five taels of silver anyway. said that it was earned by oranges, but it was not reluctant to give. How much dowry can a girl have.
"Dazhu, it's not easy for Dad to know you. But when it comes to the king of heaven, Lao Tzu is also reasonable, and you don't have to complain about your father's partiality. ”
After the old man Chi said this breathlessly, he was obviously much older than before, "When your kid is full moon, ask your sister-in-law to come over early to help, the family will break bones and still have tendons!" ”
In the past, this method of slapping a jujube worked very well for Chi Dazhu, but today I didn't see any special expression on Chi Dazhu's face.
He wasn't sure what this son was thinking.
Aunt Chi came out to play the round, and now she can't wait to hug Dazhu's thighs. Last time, I gave her a tael of silver without blinking, and this is another tael of silver. If she wants to say that his family has no money, she doesn't believe it at first.
gave Jiaojiao another look, Jiaojiao stepped forward and leaned on Dazhu, and said glutinously: "Second uncle, I heard my mother say that my aunt gave birth to a younger brother, can I go and see it?" ”
Da Zhu finally heard someone ask about his son, and he didn't care that Jiaojiao was just a little girl, so he immediately held her in his arms: "Go, the second uncle will take you to see your little brother." ”
Ignoring the people in the old courtyard and striding out, Aunt Chi happily followed.
Mrs. Chi put the two pieces of silver in the cabinet and carefully put the key in her arms. Zhou's teeth itched when she watched from the side, it was the silver she was beaten up.
Chi Daliang was also heartbroken when he saw the silver being taken away by his mother, but he didn't have the courage to say it to Mrs. Chi.
"Since Dazhu gave the money, you will still be brothers in the future, and when his son is full moon, prepare some gifts to see." After saying this, Old Man Chi kicked them out, and he was tired enough for half a day, and his body bones were obviously not as good as before.
In the final analysis, he is biased, but he still has to rely on the pension of the old family, and he has to count on the Zhou family and Chi Daliang.
**
Orange hadn't been close to the pond since he came through, and it had been a long time since he had enjoyed his family. Jiaojiao was sensible and obedient, and she coaxed him with words, making him feel comfortable and caring, and the unpleasantness in the old home just now disappeared.
Aunt Chi looked at Jiaojiao with satisfaction, she really didn't give birth to this girl in vain, she was much stronger than her brothers and sisters.
This time, Jiaojiao said that the second aunt was about to give birth, and she wanted to go over to help. Because of the one or two pieces of silver she got back, I wish she could come over quickly, and the family could eat less.
As soon as Orange and Pear Blossom went to the river to wash their clothes, they met their group. Jiaojiao called sweetly, "Sister Orange, Sister Pear Blossom".
was about to step forward to help serve the basin, and Orange hurriedly said: "Sister Jiaojiao is a guest, how can I let you work." Isn't it, aunt? ”
Aunt Chi wanted to reach out and touch the orange, but the orange quietly avoided it, and smiled awkwardly: "It's okay, your sister has rough skin and thick meat, and she is used to working at home." The oranges are really getting more and more watery, and they are going to get married in the blink of an eye. ”
Is this saying that she won't be able to spend much time at home?
Since Jiaojiao wanted to serve the pot so much, the orange was not polite to her. Last time, she had already seen Jiaojiao's skills, and she had a lot of eyes at a young age, so Chi Dazhu was not coaxed to turn around.
Seeing that the orange didn't say anything, Chi Dazhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He didn't want his eldest sister to come from afar and suffer any more grievances, and he didn't have many relatives.
Since the eldest sister is willing to be close to their family, he is happy no matter what the reason.
This stupid man!
Orange and pear blossom walked ahead, occasionally turning back and asking Jiaojiao, "Are you still moving?" ”
Jiaojiao's head was covered with sweat, but in order not to let Orange look down on her, and in order to stay in their house, she gritted her teeth and shook her head.
Rika whispered: "I think you can't get rid of them this time!" ”
Orange glanced at Jiaojiao, she can endure it so much at a young age, and she is indeed a person who does big things!
"Rotten bastard, do you miss your father?" Chi Dazhu hurriedly walked to Chen's house when he entered the house, and because she was in confinement, the Huang family entertained Aunt Chi.
Aunt Chi still remembered what Huang said last time, and she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, so she hurriedly pushed Jiaojiao out.
What she was thinking about was the dog in the yard, what did she see just now? That dog still has bones to eat?!
"My aunt must be tired and panicked these days, so go and pour a glass of water for grandma." The aunt smiled and ordered Jiaojiao.
Jiaojiao sighed, and Huang looked at Aunt Chi with a smile on the corner of her mouth, as if the next note was "hum".
Anyway, it's a guest, and even if you don't want oranges anymore, you can start preparing dinner, and it's better to send them away early.
Chen watched Chi Dazhu holding the rotten egg and didn't let go, happy as a child, and he was not angry that he took Aunt Chi home without authorization.
Dazhu secretly looked at Chen's face, and saw that it was much better than just now, so he spoke: "Daughter-in-law, I will discuss something with you - you see that Orange and our mother are busy, I am afraid that they will be tired." ”
This is what Aunt Chi told him on the way, leaving Jiaojiao at their house to help.
"Jiaojiao, this kid is a sensible person at first glance, and he can't help a lot, but it's always okay to help Orange."
Chen hesitated, last time Jiaojiao wanted to stay with oranges, she didn't want to, and she had to ask oranges about this.
"You tell your own daughter, I don't care." Lao Huang told her to worry less last time.
Aunt Chi put the rotten egg next to Chen, "Orange will definitely be willing." ”
As soon as Orange saw Jiaojiao, she knew what her idea was, and since she wanted to stay so much, she would do it.
However, she still has to hurry up to find Ya Pozi, if she has Jiaojiao, Chi Dazhu may agree. She thought about it again.
Da Zhu really came to her after a while, and Jiaojiao was washing vegetables on the side, pricking up her ears to listen.
Orange took Jiaojiao's hand and said, "Look at what my father said, how could I be unwilling to be so capable, I am naturally willing to have someone to help me." I'm afraid that Sister Jiaojiao will feel bitter. ”
"How come, I work every day at home, and I can still help my second uncle here, I can't wait for it." Jiaojiao hurriedly said, for fear that the orange would be too late, so she changed her mind.
The aunt originally wanted to stay here for the night after knowing that the matter was completed, but Jiaojiao was afraid that the Chen family would not like it, so she said that she would live in the old courtyard.
At night, Orange laid a quilt for her and told her to wash up before going to bed. Jiaojiao looked at her dirty feet and couldn't help blushing.
She is still a diligent person at home, and she is still a little worse than her sister and mother who cleaned up, and compared with oranges.
With Jiaojiao's help, Huang felt a lot more relieved. Chen also liked Jiaojiao, and took out the cloth at the bottom of his box and pulled her clothes.
Jiaojiao feels that she is like a dream, she eats and wears well every day, but isn't it the life of a fairy!
Occasionally, when she had nothing to do, she would give oranges a tie, and she always felt that this cousin didn't like her very much.
**
Since rescuing the people on the boat, Songbai and Xiaoshun have mainly helped in the coal mine and have stopped running the boat. Xiongzi is still entangled by his sister who has a hand of gold every day and can't get out.
It's a pity that when I came to save people that day, I was not fully prepared, so I let Du Dang's family run away. Sure enough, Songbai guessed that Du Dangjia had long been in collusion with the water thieves.
Xiaoshun guessed that most of Fang's family had already died, so he made a well-dressed mound for him on the island, which could be regarded as a grace to comfort him.
When the people on the boat saw that it was Songbai and Xiaoshun who rescued them, they all knelt down and kowtowed to thank them. If it weren't for them, they would have died here and no one would have cared about them.
Some of these people are willing to return home, and some are willing to stay. Songbai, who was willing to go home, gave ten taels of silver each, and by the way, he asked a fellow villager from Peach Blossom Village to send a message - he was afraid that his family would be in a hurry.
Yishou Jin has not completely taken over the coal mine, and is unwilling to release people for the time being. Even if Songbai wants to put on his wings and go home at this time, he can't do it.
It just so happens that there is a gentleman in the coal mine who can watch the mine, because Songbai is literate and generous, and he is familiar with it after coming and going.
Songbai wanted to learn his craft, and he didn't care to stay here for a while longer. What's more, he felt that people had brought a message, and his family was not so worried.
What he didn't expect was that one of the people on the ship had escaped earlier, and when he returned home, he sent a letter to Sun Huaifan that all of them had been killed.
***
Xiuxiu's family is busy cleaning up the new house for the second child, and the red joy color is pasted on the outside of the house, which is very pleasing to look at.
Oranges and pear blossoms took the time to go over to help, make some sugar today, and fry some melon seeds tomorrow. Xiuxiu also occasionally asked them to refer to her new clothes, a watery pink koji with an emerald green skirt underneath.
On the day of the first day, the second child put on new clothes early, brought a big red flower on his chest, and led the people to Jia's house.
Xiaoting hid at home and still heard the sound of suona and the sound of firecrackers, what a big pomp and circumstance this must be! I don't know if I deliberately showed them home.
The last time Xiaoshan got married, she didn't even have a firecracker, and the groom was also very dark, and I don't know how she was doing after she got married?
Wang looked at his girl absent-mindedly, and kept scolding Jia in his heart, which way to get married, which way to go, but picked them to walk in front of the door, what kind of trouble is this?
"Mother, I'm fine. You go and see grandma, save her from going out to scold, and then it will be unsightly. Xiaoting pushed Wang and locked herself in the house.
Xiao'e glanced up at her sister, got up and walked out of the house.
Wang sighed, and saw that Mrs. Dong was really not at home, so he went out to find her hatefully. How old are they, and they are not half as sensible as her daughters.
Xiao Ting lay on the bed for a while, got up and went to the cabinet to find the new clothes, which Xiao Shan did when she got married, and she was reluctant to wear them in normal times.
Quietly opened the door and walked out, Xiao'e was cooking in the kitchen, Wang went out to find Mrs. Dong, and the yard was quiet.
**
The third artifact walked at the front of the team, while paying attention to the movements of the second child. Don't look at his second brother's thieves and thieves on weekdays, he hasn't figured it out when it's critical.
Sister Xiaocui grew up with them, and her uncle's family is also solid, marrying her is no better than marrying Xiaoting!
As soon as he thought of Xiao Ting, he caught a glimpse of Xiao Ting in the crowd. I didn't expect her to really dare to come out to see it, and his mother also said that Xiaoting would be too ashamed to close the door.
Fortunately, the second child didn't see it, otherwise it would have been a thing. He hurriedly walked towards Xiaoting under the pretext that he wanted to go to the toilet.
