Mrs. Lu didn't know how to make scones at all, she just followed the usual method, rolled out the noodles and put them in an iron pot over low heat and slowly burned them, baked a pot, and gave one to the daughter-in-law of the Wu family and Mrs. Chen, and then chased the guests and said: "Okay, that's what you do, you are also the wives of the house, you will definitely learn it as soon as you learn, it's not too early, I won't leave you to eat lunch, let's go back to your own home." ”

The dough cake that had just come out of the pot was too hot to take, so the daughter-in-law of the Wu family and Mrs. Chen cushioned it with their sleeves and went out beautifully.

Mrs. Lu earned three liters of fine wheat noodles, used half of them generously at noon, baked a few pots of cakes, and asked Wang Chunmei to send five to the East Courtyard.

The methods are different, and the taste is also very different, Lu Xiaoyi ate it, and Xiaoding Xiaogeng chose not to eat it, and in the end, four of the five cakes were eliminated by Yulan and Lu Zhong.

Of course, the cake is not eaten for nothing, after lunch, Mrs. Lu asked Yulan to help her sow seeds in the vegetable field, this is a simple and easy job, Mrs. Lu just doesn't want Yulan to be idle.

Yulan was busy baking cakes in the afternoon, how could she have the time to help her spread vegetable seeds, Lu Xiaoyi took the initiative to ask for it, and ran to Lu Pozi's side to praise it, Lu Pozi approved her invitation, and took the hoe and vegetable seeds to the vegetable field.

When it comes to the solar term, there are women planting vegetables and beans everywhere, especially the vegetable field, which is a place for women to gather and communicate, and when they meet a woman with a loud voice, they can chat with several women at the same time, and when they talk about excitement, they stop their work, and continue to grow vegetables after they have enough to talk.

At the beginning of the separation, the Lu family's vegetable plot was divided into two, Lu Zhong got a piece on the right near the courtyard of the Lu family's big house, and Lu Shouzeng kept a piece on the left. The two vegetable fields are next to each other, which is also convenient for Lu Pozi to cross the line to pick melons and vegetables, Lu Xiaoyi remembered Lu Pozi's vices, and suddenly lost interest, and lazily squatted on the ground and poked a soil lump with a sickle.

Mrs. Lu urged: "What are you doing squatting, help cut the weeds on the edge of the ground." ”

Lu Xiaoyi squatted and moved to a bush of weeds, finished cutting slowly, and then squatted and moved to the next bush.

Lazy like this, Mrs. Lu really didn't see it, and said: "What you said before going out is crazy, you will show your original form when you go to the ground, you don't move, go home and change your mother!" ”

Lu Xiaoyi pouted, stood up and threw the sickle aside, pulled the wild vegetables up, and brought up a pinch of soil by the roots, "Who said I can't do it, I'm just thinking about cutting the grass and keeping the roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows, so it's better to uproot it and save trouble." ”

"Then pull it out!" Mrs. Lu ignored her anymore, turned around and slowly cultivated the vegetable patch with a rake.

Mrs. Lu is a well-known Polai woman in the village, and in normal times, there are not many women who take the initiative to talk to her, just like now, the women in the surrounding vegetable fields are chatting happily, and no one is looking for her to gossip.

Mrs. Lu didn't care, and began to sow seeds after leveling the vegetable field.

At this time, the newcomer Mrs. Liu greeted Mrs. Lu, "The sister of the Lu family is a diligent person, how can she be as lazy as me, and the sun is about to go down before going out." ”

Mrs. Liu was polite, but Mrs. Lu took it seriously and said with a smile: "I have always been so diligent, I can't sit still at home after eating, and I feel uncomfortable until I find some work in the field." ”

Lu Xiaoyi has long been accustomed to her grandmother's brain circuits, and when she saw Mrs. Liu coming over, she called her Granny Liu with a smile.

While praising Xiao Yi for being a good child, Mrs. Liu went to her vegetable patch.

The Liu family's vegetable field is so close that it does not affect the two mothers-in-law to speak, chatting and chatting, Liu mother-in-law said: "Has the Lu family sister heard about it?" After speaking, he said to the courtyard of the Lu family's big house, "I heard that his family is going to sell the house." ”

Mrs. Lu can't go back to the city once a year, and the two families don't interact much, so she doesn't know a lot of news, but it is about the Lu family's big house, she is not curious if it is fake, so she hurriedly grabbed the vegetable seed bag in her hand and walked to Mrs. Liu's side and asked, "Sell the house?" This yard has been exposed to the wind and sun for more than ten years, and it can still be sold if it is rotten like this? ”

Mrs. Liu said: "It's not to sell this set, it's to sell the small courtyard where you live in the city." ”

Mrs. Lu has never been to the courtyard of the Lu family's big house in the city, Lu Xiaoyi still remembers it vividly, and she is also curious, the Lu family's big house lives well in the city, why do you want to sell the house?

Mrs. Lu was full of questions like her, "The people in the city are so good, why do you want to sell the house?" Do you want to go back to your hometown to live? ”

Mrs. Liu whispered: "It seems that Lu Fuzeng's errand was squeezed out by someone, and he almost got into trouble, and spent some money to trust the relationship, so coincidentally, the person he entrusted the relationship with has relatives in a barracks with my eldest grandson, and the relationship is not bad on weekdays. ”

Mrs. Lu chirped: "Some people just don't know their fate, they are almost in the coffin when they read, they haven't even passed the exam, and they have put up a shelf to pretend to be high, if it weren't for the old lady's partiality, they would have starved to death, phew!" An old boy, it's great to find a small errand in the relationship, and when he meets someone whose relationship is harder than him, he is a fart, and sooner or later he will roll up and leave! ”

Mrs. Liu said: "That is, Yifu City is so big, how many people are sharpening their heads to find errands in Guancheng, I said that your uncle is also stupid, and if the errand is gone, it will be gone, what are you doing with the relationship?" He thought simply, thinking that he could get the errand back by spending a few dollars, why don't you want to think that others are more willing to spend money than him, he was born as a farmer, how can the family have no permanent property and earn money with others, in my opinion, it is better to go back to the village to farm some land with peace of mind, and mix the life of the family with the old and young, which is the right reason! ”

"Go home and farm? Did he carry a hoe? His family's fields were not cultivated for our brother-in-law, and his heart was as small as a needle's nose, for fear that our family would take advantage of him, phew, those lands are now planted for me, and I still can't look down on them! "Mrs. Lu has always had a bad attitude towards the Dafang family, and her tone is very impulsive.

Lu Xiaoyi listened while pulling weeds, if what Mrs. Liu said was true, the Lu family's big house would definitely be having a hard time now, according to what Mrs. Liu said, combined with what she saw at the beginning, after rational analysis, three points can be determined: First, the Lu family's courtyard in the city is not leased but bought, as for where the money came from, of course, it was given by the old lady of the Lu family who was eccentric about the big house, it is conceivable that when she bought the yard, the old lady of the Lu family must not have much money left. The second is that Uncle Lu Sitang studies all day and doesn't think about work, and the Lu family's big house relies on Lu Fuzeng's errand income in Guancheng to survive, or with the help of the old lady's surplus money, the Lu family's big house is not much better. Finally, the Lu family's big house must have no way out to sell the yard, and life can't be maintained.

Lu Xiaoyi is not anxious about the others, she is worried that if the Lu family returns to the village, it is inevitable that there will be a lot of trouble, especially the old lady of the Lu family is still alive, under the word filial piety, even if the two rooms are separated, some problems cannot be avoided.

After Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Liu muttered, they returned to their vegetable patch with a black face, and it seemed that they were also worried about the Lu family's big house returning to the village.

Mrs. Lu was upset, and the daughter-in-law of the Wu family, who was learning to make cakes at noon, came up and said to Mrs. Lu with a smile: "Second Aunt Lu, I have found you after looking around." ”

Mrs. Lu was not angry, "What are you looking for me?" ”

Lu Xiaoyi saw that the daughter-in-law of the Wu family was smiling a little reluctantly, and said in her heart: Eighty percent of her reaction was that the cake was not right, and she came up to her grandmother to return her wheat noodles.

Sure enough, the daughter-in-law of the Wu family said: "Second Aunt Lu is really a noble person who forgets things, I was still learning pancakes from you in your stove room at noon, and I forgot anything at this time." ”

"Didn't it teach you? Have you forgotten again, tell me, it's strange that you don't get scolded at home for a daughter-in-law with a poor memory! After the ridicule, Mrs. Lu thought of the three liters of fine wheat noodles she earned at noon, and her tone softened slightly, "You have to learn again, take another three liters of fine wheat noodles!" ”

The daughter-in-law of the Wu family had a bitter face, "You can't pit me like this, three liters of fine wheat noodles can be exchanged for you to make a cake casually, and when I go home to eat it, I find that it is not what I want at all, what about Aunt Lu, you can return the three liters of fine wheat noodles to me!" ”

Mrs. Lu fried her hair and said sharply: "What? Also you? Who begged me to teach her how to make bread at noon? Who offered to pay for three liters of noodles? Hey! I worked hard at noon, and you regretted it again, how can there be a person like you, who eats my bread and wants to go back with three liters of noodles? ”

Mrs. Lu's high voice immediately attracted the surrounding women who were planting vegetables, and they all gathered around and asked questions.

Mrs. Lu made the first move, and repeated the words and deeds of the Wu family's daughter-in-law at noon, of course, she was biased towards herself and belittled others.

The daughter-in-law of the Wu family blushed angrily, and no longer spoke kindly, and said with a crossed waist: "Okay, you are a bad mother-in-law, don't you toast and eat and drink?" ”

"Penalty for drinking? Hey! I love to eat and drink, you punish me! Mrs. Lu threw the vegetable seed bag in her hand in front of Lu Xiaoyi, threw the sentence "Collect the seeds" and then scolded the daughter-in-law of the Wu family, "You are stupid to me, what idea you have with that goddess to come to our house, I know better than anyone else, isn't it just that my eldest son sells cakes to make a few dollars, and tries every means to find out?" Bah! Do you want to be ashamed, you have to be happy if I shake out your ugly things? ”

The daughter-in-law of the Wu family was told the central matter, her cheeks were red and dripping blood, and she quibbled in her mouth: "We women, when we hear that whose daughter-in-law will cook a good meal, we will go to ask for advice, and I haven't seen anyone hiding it?" ”

Mrs. Lu didn't show weakness either, "Who is hiding it, I'm busy teaching you at noon, is it a white sect?" ”

The daughter-in-law of the Wu family said that she couldn't say that Mrs. Lu couldn't do it, and she scolded Yulan instead, and her words were full of ridicule and sarcasm, "I won't talk to you, you are the shield pushed out by Wang Yulan, phew!" She made a lot of stinky money, her eyes grew to the sky, she didn't want to teach it, and let her mother-in-law come out to lie to me about the wheat noodles, forget it, I don't want the three liters of fine wheat noodles, just feed the pigs and dogs. ”

As soon as she heard the scolding of Yulan, Lu Xiaoyi was unhappy, she scolded: "You are greedy and not rewarded, and in the end it depends on my mother's head, why are you so shameless?" Besides, it's our family's business to make money by making cakes, you have to have the ability to make cakes and sell them yourself, what are you going to my house to find out? ”

The daughter-in-law of the Wu family didn't expect that the little girl of the Lu family was also sharp-mouthed, and raised her eyebrows and said: "I went to your house to be Lala's home, what do you know about this little girl?" Bah! It's just that my legs and feet are not good, and my brain is not good, and I can't get married in the future, so I will buy firecrackers and put them in front of your house. ”

The more the Wu family's daughter-in-law talked, the more poisonous it became, Lu Xiaoyi stuffed the seed bag into her arms, said that it was too late, and slammed into it and knocked the Wu family's daughter-in-law down, but fortunately it was a soft vegetable field, and there was no big problem.

The daughter-in-law of the Wu family expected Lu Xiaoyi to go crazy, turned over and wanted to push her, but was blocked by Mrs. Lu, who was following closely, and hung the placket of the daughter-in-law of the Wu family, howling: "Beat people to death, beat people to death, beat the small ones and beat the old ones, and the bottom of the pot is gray with black eyes!" ”

Lu Xiaoyi wanted to laugh, but always felt that Mrs. Lu had a tacit understanding with her.

The daughter-in-law of the Wu family wanted to hold on to the daughter-in-law of the Lu family, but remembering the secret loss that the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family had eaten, she didn't dare to act rashly, so she just sat on the ground and cried all over the ground, "The people of the old Lu family are too deceitful, the old ones are liars and scoundrels, the little ones are even more ambitious, the old ones have a bad reputation for their daughters-in-law, and the little ones can't marry out because of their lame legs!" ”

It's not up to her to marry or not to get married, looking at Xiaxi Village, no matter whether she is beautiful, ugly, virtuous or evil, as long as she is a woman, as long as she doesn't pick, she can always get married, so Lu Xiaoyi doesn't worry about it at all, anyway, she has her grandmother's bad reputation first, what is she afraid of? It doesn't matter if she's lame, but it's not okay to insult her family, she doesn't bother to bother with people, she always feels that it's better to use her hands than her mouth, even if she is beaten and scarred, but this strength can't be lost!

No matter how lively and beautiful it is, the work in the field can't be done by no one, right? After a few words of persuasion from the women who saw the bustle, they dispersed, sowing seeds and busily working with their own work.

Mrs. Lu had already let go of the daughter-in-law of the Wu family, took the vegetable seed from Lu Xiaoyi's hand, planted the last piece of vegetable furrow, and then took Xiaoyi home.

The daughter-in-law of the Wu family was still sitting on the ground, hanging her head and not knowing what she was thinking.
