After dinner, it was not dark yet, and at this time, Li had not yet started cooking. Embroidery, taking care of bolts, and doing housework every day occupy her entire life.

However, she found that her life had changed significantly since her daughter Cheng Zhao'er returned.

She found that she had become idle, except for helping to take care of the two little dolls, and Cheng Zhaoer took care of all the housework in the house. Even the embroidery work was earned by her with great difficulty.

Now, she sits there alone and looks at Yuanyuan and the plug, the two dolls are only a month or two now, and they rarely even cry except for eating and sleeping. It's not hard to carry at all.

Zhao'er stipulated that once it was evening and the sun was not so good, she was not allowed to embroider. So, she didn't touch those either.

And her daughter was busy in the stove. The two younger sons went out to play, and today their sister brought them candy, and they always have to go out and show off.

Her husband went out to fiddle with the bamboo, and after taking on so much work today, it was time to start work.

Li was really bored, so he talked to Cheng Zhao'er and said, "Zhao'er, today is really like what your father said, you earned so much?" ”

Cheng Zhao'er shook her head and said, "Mother, this is just a little bit, and you will earn more and more in the future, just relax your mind." ”

Li nodded, and now, involuntarily, she began to believe her daughter's words. It's just, "I don't know how your eldest sister is, I thought, when the days are better, go and see her." When she got married, she didn't bring anything, and she didn't know if her husband's family was good to her! ”

Cheng Zhaoer also sighed in her heart, she really didn't know. Her eldest sister Cheng Xueer is the same as her, which is equivalent to marrying half for sale and half giving, and she is farther than her! Whether you can live well depends on whether the husband's family is kind or not.

Cheng Zhao'er could only say: "When this time is over, let's go see the eldest sister." Don't worry, my eldest sister is so virtuous, no one will dislike her. ”

Li Shi was silent, in fact, everyone knew that this was a comforting word, Li Shi was not a fool, where would it be unclear, but subconsciously hoped that this was indeed the case.

Cheng Zhaoer finished her work, and saw that although her mother was taking care of the two children, her mood was a little sluggish, but there was no way to do it. Thinking that this time is over, hurry up and go to see my sister with her father, and I can rest assured!

Coincidentally, at this time, the daughter-in-law of the Han family came over. When Li heard the noise, he went to open the door, and saw the daughter-in-law leading an unknown person over.

This daughter-in-law's surname is Zhao, and Zhao is from the neighboring Zhaojia Village. It is Han Goro's daughter-in-law.

Zhao entered the door and called Li's aunt enthusiastically, followed by a mother-in-law who looked neat. Cheng Changqing heard the sound, and came out from the bamboo forest behind him and welcomed the two of them in with the Li family. Cheng Zhaoer poured two bowls of tea.

Zhao greeted: "Uncle, aunt, sister Zhao'er, this is my mother's aunt, she has a ewe in her family, she just gave birth to a cub a few days ago, but this little cub is somehow not alive." My aunt, her son did a little business in the county, and now her son is filial and is moving away. ”

Cheng Zhao'er glanced at Zhao's aunt, this mother-in-law looks very energetic, not very old, and looks about fifty years old. The clothes are very ordinary, but they are also very neat, and when you enter the door, your eyes do not squint, and you look very regular. After sitting down, she just laughed and didn't interject casually, as a peasant woman, she was very outstanding.

At that moment, Cheng Zhaoer smiled and said to the mother-in-law: "That's my luck, I don't know if I can go to the eldest mother's house to have a look." ”

The woman smiled: "That's nature, if you want to see it, you can do it today." ”

Cheng Zhao'er couldn't wait, the matter of the child's meal could not be delayed, look at the sky, the sky was not yet dark, so he discussed it with Cheng Changqing, took the money bag and went to the mother-in-law's house.

Along the way, Zhao also accompanied, but he didn't say anything. The woman didn't talk much, but just talked about the basic situation of the ewe. The ewe is just over a year old, in the prime of life, and this year is the first time it has been happy......

When I arrived at the mother-in-law's house, I didn't see anyone else, but although the house was not big, it was very tidy, the sheep was indeed not big, and it was indeed very small when it was more than a year old, but Cheng Zhaoer didn't expect it to be a sheep, she thought it was a goat.

The sheep's fur was thickly spread on its body, but it looked very neat, and although the wool was a little yellowish, there was not a trace of gray fluttering color. It can be seen that this lady is a person who loves cleanliness.

Cheng Zhaoer personally went to the sheepfold to see the condition of the sheep and was very satisfied. When I asked about the price, the woman was indeed more sincere, and she didn't sit on the ground to start the price, so she took down the sheep for one or two or five silver.

In the farmer's house, cattle and sheep are considered large, so the trade is also very cautious, this transaction also specially found someone to write a certificate, pressed the handprint, and invited the village chief of Zhaojia Village to witness!

On the way, Cheng Changqing led the sheep, the sheep is very docile, you lead it, it will follow you. Cheng Zhao'er pulled Zhao a step behind and stuffed her with a red envelope. Zhao didn't want it at first, but then Cheng Zhaoer shoehorned it, so he took it half-pushed. Secretly pinched it with his hand, and found a thick layer, and his heart was also happy, and he spoke more enthusiastically.

Cheng Zhao'er gave fifty copper plates as an honorarium, which was thick enough.

When they got home, Cheng Zhaoer and Cheng Changqing put the sheep in the yard first, and Cheng Changqing went to clean up the pigsty.

Fengnian and the two brothers ran back, the children are very curious and close to animals, Xiaofeng pointed to the ewe and asked Cheng Zhao'er: "Sheep? ”

There is an old goat in the village that the Fengnian brothers have seen. It's just that the sheep look different from the goats, so the two little ones are not sure.

Cheng Zhao'er smiled and grabbed Xiao Nian's little hand that tried to pull wool in his hand, and said with a smile: "Yes, you two will have goat's milk to drink in the future." ”

The two villains were still very ignorant, but this did not reduce their interest in the sheep, Xiao Nian and Xiao Feng stood together, whispering, and pointing at the sheep.

Cheng Zhao'er didn't care about them anymore, she poured hot water over, dipped a clean cloth in hot water to clean the sheep, and when she was done, she took a clean wooden barrel and began to milk the cows.

After boiling, Cheng Zhaoer scooped out two bowls, and put the others in the pot, added the tea cloth bag she made just now, and put it in to continue boiling.

Gradually, except for the two bowls that were served separately, they were still exuding a fishy smell, and there was no longer that unbearable smell in the pot. In its place, there is an indescribable aroma of pure milk.

The noses of the two brothers were the most sensitive, and the two followed the smell and returned to the stove, sitting obediently beside Li, their round heads dripping and following Cheng Zhao'er.

Cheng Zhaoer smiled: "Today, let's all drink some goat's milk!" ”
