Chen Zigui and Zhang entered the upper room.

The people in the courtyard pricked up their ears and heard a faint reprimand coming from the upper room.

“…… Dad, didn't I see Xue Yao working as an errand in Nading Mansion? The head of our house and I thought about letting the big egg also go to Dingfu on an errand, so that we could save a few bags of white flour for chewing a year, and we could also get silver at home. Zhang's loud voice was aggrieved.

"Yes, Dad, you can agree, Da Dan and Xueyao can take care of each other when they go to Nafu." Chen Zigui's voice was full of nonchalance.

Chen Xuejiao looked at the big egg, only to see that the big egg blushed. It seems that Zhang and Chen Zigui are determined to let Da Dan go to Dingfu to be a small servant.

Li and Cai glanced at each other and shook their heads, that little guy can be so good.

"It's not impossible for the big egg to go, but there is one less laborer in this house, your house, the fourth daughter-in-law is lazy, and the fourth child can't work hard, so it all depends on the big egg to contribute to your family." Mrs. Chen said hesitantly.

This is an exaggeration, and the big egg twisted unnaturally.

Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Chen changed her words: "The big egg is capable, and he eats a lot, and he can't fill it for a cow, so I think he will let him go to Dingfu, follow Xueyao, and finally earn some silver for the family. If the big egg goes, I don't expect him to earn money, and the grain saved in a year alone will be enough for me to raise a fat pig. ”

Chen Xuejiao almost laughed out loud when she heard this, in Mrs. Chen's heart, her grandson was not worth a pig.

Big Egg lowered his head and stared at his toes.

"Nope." Old Man Chen said categorically, "If I say no, I can't, Xueyao is a female doll, and if she goes to Dingfu, she can marry a decent person in the future, what if the big egg goes?" The family still counted on him to work. Okay, that's it, stay at home honestly from now on, and don't go anywhere. ”

Chen Xuejiao saw that Li breathed a long sigh of relief.

When he went to the door, there was a squeak, and Chen Zigui, who was uncertain, and Zhang, who was angry, walked out with their front and back feet.

"This little bunny who doesn't know what to do." Chen Zigui pointed at the big egg and scolded, and took Zhang into the south wing.

The big egg shrank his head in fright and hid in Lee's back.

"Auntie, don't I have to go to Ding's Mansion to be a servant?" Big Dan asked Li hesitantly.

"Your father said just now, you don't have to go, it scares you." Li couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw the sole print on the neck of the big egg that was beaten by Zhang's.

"The four brothers and sisters are really ruthless." Cai Shi glanced at the neck of the big egg, "Oh, this red mark can't be erased in a few days." ”

Chen Xuejiao listened and looked around the big egg.

"I'm also tired, Xuewa, you help me into the house, pour out a little bit of the safflower oil that your grandma gave me last time, and wipe the neck of the big egg." Cai Shi held his stomach and smiled at Li, "I originally wanted to find my sister-in-law to draw a belly pocket pattern, but this body is not angry, and I will be tired after a while." ”

Li hurriedly asked Xuewa to help Cai into the house.

"Brother Big Dan ran in a hurry just now, and his trouser legs were scratched." Xue Jiao pointed to Big Dan's trouser leg.

"You go to our house in a while, and I'll help you sew." Lee touched the big egg's head.

It just so happened that Xuewa sent safflower oil, Li took it, pulled the collar of the big egg to help him wipe it, and the painful big egg gritted his teeth**.

"By the way, Xue Jiao, when I was chopping pigweed, I heard you and the second aunt say that you want to go to Dingfu to be a maid, is it really fake?" The big egg grinned and endured the pain and looked at Chen Xuejiao.

Chen Xuejiao smiled at him and pointed to the pot house: "Do you believe that I am going to be a maid?" ”

Big Dan Zhengse said: "My sister has always been a person with ideas, I heard that I would rather hit the wall than change relatives, let alone go to Dingfu to be a maid, anyway, I don't believe my sister." It's not that poverty can't be moved, mighty can't be ......"

"It is the poor and the lowly who cannot be moved, and the mighty who cannot be bent." Qi Ping's eyes widened and said with a smile, "Brother Big Dan also understands this truth?" ”

"I listened to Brother Qi An's early reading sentence, I asked what it meant, Brother Qi Ange explained it to me, I knew it meant so." Big Egg said embarrassedly.

"If your sister Xuejiao doesn't go, you won't go either." Li smiled softly.

There was a voice shouting "Sister Xuejiao" at the door.

Xue Jiao walked to the door and saw that it was Zhao Yiming.

Zhao Yiming was in the autumn sun, with a thin figure and handsome facial features, looking at Xue Jiao stupidly and laughing.

"Brother Yiming, are you helping your classmates buy tea eggs?" Xue Jiao asked with a smile, "Unfortunately, I haven't cooked it at home in the past two days." ”

"No, no, my peanuts have been harvested, and my mother asked me to send a basket of peanuts to my wife." As he spoke, he pointed to a basket of bamboo strips at his feet.

Chen Xuejiao looked at Zhao Yiming and saw that the bamboo basket was full of peanuts, washed cleanly, and each grain was very full.

"That's embarrassing." Chen Xuejiao was polite, and she had a good impression of Zhao Yiming's mother in her heart.

"I originally wanted Qi An to go home from school for a while, but I was afraid of trouble, so I came at noon." Zhao Yiming's smile was very clean, which reminded Xue Jiao of the class leader who always taught her math problems when she was in high school in her previous life.

"By the way, Xue Jiao, look." Zhao Yiming glanced around, smiling mysteriously at Xue Jiao.

Chen Xuejiao leaned in, and Zhao Yiming took out three yellowed books from his arms, and took a closer look at the books.

"Where did it come from?" Chen Xuejiao's eyes lit up. Chen Xuejiao likes to read, and almost all of Chen Xiucai's study rooms are books such as strategy and Baguwen, as well as books with secular folk feelings.

"I know you like it, the last time I saw you flip through a book of lyrics and songs from the previous dynasty, I guessed that my sister likes such books. I bought this book on the street when I was in Xuzhou Mansion, and now I'm giving it to you. Zhao Yiming saw that Xuejiao was happy, and his heart was as sweet as honey, afraid that Chen Xuejiao would not accept it, so he added, "Anyway, I have read this book, and I won't use it in the future, so you can read it if you like it." ”

"Thank you, Brother Yiming." Chen Xuejiao's heart was warm.

Li heard Zhao Yiming's voice outside and walked out, followed closely by Chen Qiping.

"Brother Yiming." Chen Qiping ran to Zhao Yiming's side and held Zhao Yiming's arm affectionately, "I calculated the arithmetic you taught me last time." ”

"Really? Brother Qi Ping is so smart. Zhao Yiming smiled and pinched Qi Ping's face.

"Master, my peanuts have been harvested, and my mother asked me to bring you a taste." Zhao Yiming handed the basket to Li.

"Oh, how can you make it, your mother is too polite." Li Shi looked at the pile of spiky peanuts in the basket, "How much can I collect, so much for our family." ”

Li Shi couldn't help it, thinking that Zhao Yiming's father was sick and lying on the bed, and his mother went to work in the field alone, planted peanuts and brought them to his family, and his eyes were watery.

"Is your dad better?" Lee's eyes were full of concern.

"Much better." Zhao Yiming said this every time, but his eyes couldn't stop the gloom.

"I'll go to the school after dinner." Li pulled Zhao Yiming and said.

"I have eaten my wife, and Mr. Chen said that Master Qin has exempted me from the food money, and I will eat in the private school at noon." Afraid that Li would not believe it, he described what he ate, "The potatoes and roast meat, sweet potato porridge, and cakes I ate today." ”

"Since you've eaten it, I won't leave you in vain, you wait a minute, I have something to give you." Li shouted to Xueru in the courtyard.

Xue Ru walked out, saw Zhao Yiming standing outside, knew Li's intentions, turned back again, took a pair of shoes and walked out.

Li Shi took the shoes from Xueru's hand and said to Zhao Yiming: "These shoes are made for you, you take them back and wear them, and see if they are suitable." ”

Zhao Yiming knew that the Li family was a sincere person like his own mother, and if he gave you something, he would send it sincerely, so he didn't have to excuse himself and thanked him.

Back in the courtyard, Li sighed to Xue Jiaoxueru: "Zhao Yiming's mother sent us a handkerchief last time, and this time she sent peanuts." It's really rare, but it's always like this, I can't get over it in my heart, and his family is like that......"

"Zhao Yiming's mother is a grateful person, and people are sincere in sending us things, mother, I think it is better for us to take some time to go to Zhao Yiming's house to see his father and mother." Chen Xuejiao built yì.

Li listened and nodded.

While the mother was talking, Xue Miao came over and looked at the Li family: "My mother said to let you go to the pot house." ”

Who is it called?

Chen Xuejiao listened to Xue Miao's arrogant tone, and was dissatisfied, and Chen Xueru also frowned.

Chen Xuemiao looked at Chen Xuejiao's gaze staring at her, her heart was empty, and the mosquito snorted and said to Li: "That, my mother asked you to go to the pot house." ”

Chen Xuejiao was on fire, shouting "Uncle Niang" will die, and your mother said to let you go.

Li's face is not very good-looking, and Chen Xuemiao is too unreasonable.

"Mother, let's go into the house and see what Sister Jinghao's call looks like." Chen Xuejiao held Li's arm and didn't look at Chen Xuemiao.

"Mother, do you think it's better for us to play plum blossoms or bamboo leaves?" Chen Xueru followed Chen Xuejiao's words.

Chen Xuemiao was anxious, gritted her teeth and said, "It's all said, my mother asked you to go to the pot house." ”

Chen Xuejiao turned her head and asked in surprise, "Who is your mother's name?" ”

After speaking, he ignored Chen Xuejiao anymore and hugged Li into the north wing.

Chen Xue stomped her feet angrily, chopped the big egg of pigweed, and waved a big knife and said to Xue Miao dissatisfiedly: "Who do you call to go to the pot house, I didn't understand after listening to it a few times." If you call the eldest uncle, why don't you call the eldest uncle, who knows if you don't shout? ”

Chen Xuemiao felt that the whole day was not going well today, first the material was taken away by Mrs. Chen, and then Xuejiao wanted to cross her into the Ding Mansion, and now she even threw her face to show herself.

It took Zhao a lot of effort to make lunch.

She felt that the Li family, who had always been trampled under her feet, was now no longer listening to her, and she couldn't help but hate her secretly. Thinking about how to please Mrs. Chen and regain the dominant position in the family.
