Cai's sat in the upper room for a long time, listening to Zhang's blindly praising Xueyao, and looking at the snow baby who sat on the side and gave a little bean to Ding, he felt a little uncomfortable, and he was a little tired, so he got up and left.

Walk through the corridor of the upper room, avoid the slippery snow, and go straight to the north wing.

Li was touching the red jacket given by Qingyu, admiring how well the pattern was embroidered, and when he saw Cai coming in, he hurriedly gave up his seat.

Chen Xuejiao served Cai's a cup of hot tea, and everyone sat down to talk.

Cai Shi glanced at the gray squirrel skirt and Hongling jacket in Li's hand, and his eyes showed admiration. She was already shrewd, and she understood where the clothes came from after a glance at her quiet look.

If it was normal, the two would discuss this matter, but because of Chen Wenxiu, it was not good to evaluate this matter.

Whether it is in face or sincerity, at least from now on, Qingyu is a good stepmother.

On the day of marriage, she gave Jing Hao a big gold bracelet and called her the eldest lady, and when she came to Chen's house, relatives said that Jing Hao could live at home at any time, and the first snow sent clothes.

Seeing it this way shows her sincerity.

Jinghao lives in the Chen family, if she doesn't ask, no one will poke her back in the back.

There are two or three stepmothers in these ten miles and eight towns, some of them are sweet-faced and bitter-hearted, and they look like mothers in front of outsiders, and they are extremely dark inside. Some are like Mrs. Chen, who is hard-working, whether at home or in front of outsiders, she is always the same.

Qingyu does not belong to either of these two, and the gray squirrel skirt and Hongling jacket sent are all good materials, but I am afraid that the entire Baitu Town will not be able to find a person who wears such good clothes.

This green jade looks a little interesting.

Li and Cai were talking, and Chen Zifu came in with two big pockets in his hands.

As soon as he entered the house, his hands were frozen straight, and his mouth was snow-white. The curtain was lifted, bringing a chilly wind.

Xue Ru brought a bowl of hot ginger soup, Chen Zifu took it and drank it, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Cai Shi saw that his feet were clean and clean, and knew that he had come by car, and his heart was put in his stomach.

“…… Originally, I saved two dollars and walked back, but I met the second sister on the street. asked Dongping to send me, and Dongping sent me to the door to go back. Chen Zifu took out a string of money from his pocket and handed it to Li, "Sister-in-law, there are still five cents left." ”

Li Shi didn't answer and said: "The third brother is too sincere, you can buy some gadgets for Xuewa with the rest of the money, and bring it back." ”

Resolutely do not accept that money.

Cai Shi looked at his man and complained: "Dongping sent you here, and he didn't say that he asked his nephew to come to the house for a cup of hot tea." Just let him go. ”

Chen Zifu smiled and put the money on the table.

"Sister-in-law" Cai looked at Chen Zifu and went to the upper room to reply, and sighed: "...... That's how your tea and egg recipes are sold. ”

Li replied, "Yes." ”

Here Chen Xuejiao held her ears, and the words fell into her ears word for word.

The recipe for the tea eggs has been sold for a long time, and Cai's came to ask Baba today. She was a shrewd person, and it was impossible for her to ask this without a reason.

Chen Xuejiao thought for a while and interjected: "What does the third aunt think of us sellers?" ”

Cai lowered his head and pursed his lips and said, "I don't have a opinion, I just think this recipe is selling too fast." ”

"The third aunt might as well say it directly." Chen Xuejiao's eyebrows and eyes were crooked.

"At that time, I heard that you were going to sell this recipe, and I wanted to buy it." Cai's eyes were long. It's a lot of openness.

It shocked Li and Xuejiao.

"At that time, I discussed with Xuewa's father, and we also separated. To do a small business, the father of the school baby refuses" Cai smiled embarrassedly, "But your recipe sold so much silver, even if I come to buy it, I can't take it out." ”

It seems that the Cai family has moved the idea of splitting up.

It's just not that easy, Chen Zifu is the son of Mrs. Chen's own son. is usually ignoring him, but compared to treating the big house, one is in the sky and the other is underground. If her son wants to split up, it's no wonder that Mrs. Chen is not angry.

Chen Xuejiao didn't expect that Cai's had plans to buy tea and egg recipes before. It can be seen that the Cai family has a firm goal for life after the separation.

"Seeing that your life is getting better and better. To put it mildly, my eyes are hot. I also look forward to the day when I will be able to hold the money or something in my own hands, and it will be more convenient. Cai picked up his heart at Lee.

"Fourth brother and sister, this family also has difficulties in separating the family, and if you don't separate the family, you don't have to worry about it." Lee comforted her.

"I'm worrying about myself, but I want to worry about it." There was envy in Cai's tone.

At this time, Mrs. Chen in the upper room called her daughter-in-law over one after another.

Cai and Li stopped talking and went to the upper room together.

It turned out that the old lady called them over and ordered them to cook.

Don't look at Mrs. Chen who can't move when she falls asleep, but she still has a lot of power in the family, from feeding chickens to sending gifts to relatives, she has to listen to her for everything.

"Today is also the first festival in the lunar month, I bought so many meat dishes and made a delicious meal. In previous years, I did it myself, but this year I can't get up, so I rely on you, I don't feel at ease, I'm really worried about this and that. Mrs. Chen's eyes swept over her daughter-in-law's face one by one.

The real situation of the festival in previous years was that Mrs. Chen sat in front of the pot house to command, and it was Li and Cai's who did the work.

As soon as these words came out, several daughters-in-law did not dare to answer.

"Although it's all a family, this table can't be sloppy, who will handle it today?" Mrs. Chen didn't go by name, she wanted her daughter-in-law to come out by herself.

In the past, such work was usually performed by the Li family.

Who knows, this year, the Li family was silent.

Mrs. Chen glanced at her fiercely, and secretly scolded her in her heart for being a disguised vixen.

"Who's going to do it?" Mrs. Chen asked three times in a row, but no one said anything, and she couldn't help but be embarrassed and annoyed.

"Mother, in previous years," Zhao spoke.

"Yes, second brother and sister, in previous years, it was all mother's work. This year, my mother was injured, and I think the cleanest person in our family is the second brother and sister. My third brother and sister and my fourth brother and sister are stupid, you can handle today's banquet, and we will give you a hand. Li actually interrupted Zhao's words first, and by the way, put a high hat on her, and shirked his responsibility.

Zhao was annoyed and angry, and Li didn't know. He looked at her with a smile.

Old fox! Mrs. Chen scolded secretly, the previous low eyebrows and pleasing eyes were really disguised, and the true face was revealed as soon as the family was separated.

Zhao's excuse is not, not to excuse it, and opened his mouth in embarrassment.

"Second brother and sister, you have learned a lot from your mother, and the handling of this table today must be the same, so we will give you a hand." Cai opened his mouth and sided with the Li family.

"There are a few of us to help you, and you won't ask my mother. It's not going to be much harder. Lee continued to add to the fire.

Zhao held his breath in his mouth.

"You" Mrs. Chen just wanted to speak, but found a pair of bright eyes under the curtain and looked at her in a daze.

Xuejiao, this dead girl!

Li naturally saw those eyes, and the smile overflowing in them gave him great courage. I got up early in the morning and boiled laba porridge for more than a dozen people in my family, and Mrs. Chen still disliked it, because Mr. Chen gave her fifty yuan and ate her all the time. Li Shi is a clay man, and he also has a three-point earthy nature, and he is secretly annoyed in his heart. Therefore, he was reluctant to take over the work of the table.

Chen Xuejiao hid behind the curtain and couldn't help but applaud Li's courage!

"The second sister-in-law has always been very cool. Can you still make a banquet. "Zhang's has always been a high-level person, as long as he doesn't let himself cook, anyone can do it. Seeing that the Cai family and the Li family formed an alliance, they were busy drawing a line with the Zhao family.

Zhao's hateful teeth itched, and he was coaxed by the three concubines to go to the pot house.

Li really only stood and listened to Zhao's orders.

Zhao is accustomed to sweet words, and after a few words. The kind-hearted Li shook his mind and helped make a few specialty dishes.

Living as a family, you can't eat me, I eat you, it's almost enough. Thinking like this, Li took the shovel from Zhao's hand. Shovel the vegetables in the pot a few times.

In the upper room, Xue Yao called Xue Miao into the second room.

Zhao had been in front of her before, and she had been suppressing the anger towards Xue Miao in her heart.

entered the ear room, closed the door, and gave Xue Miao a slap.

Xue Miao covered her face, stunned, and lost her soul.

“…… I didn't count that my biological sister stole my things, and I just stole something else, you just stole my hairpin......" Xue Yao's eyes were like a bloodthirsty beast, and she looked at Xue Miao with a tearful look.

Xue Miao trembled all over, covering her face and not daring to say anything.

"Mother only when you are young, don't talk about you, do you know how much silver that thing is worth, you just stole it for me, stole it, how did it get into the hands of the fourth aunt." Thinking of Zhang's pale face with a hairpin, Xue Yao's heart seemed to be put into an oil pot, rolling and rolling.

Xue Miao finally came back to her senses, and tears fell down in strings.

"I thought that my sister had so many good things, and I thought that it was not tight to take a hairpin, who knew that it would be so expensive."

"I have so many good things, and that's mine, and if you steal it, you steal it."

The word "steal" made Xue Miao's heart unbearable, and she vented her anger regardless of it: "You are good and well-dressed in Dingfu, why am I in this country, wearing your remaining clothes, wearing beads and flowers that you don't want, you enjoy endless wealth every day, why should I stay at home and suffer." ”

Xue Yao laughed, her mouth seemed to have rust, and there was a touch of desolation in her smile: "Splashing wealth? Splashing wealth? You only see me dressed and well fed, but you never think about the days when I was a slave and a slave. Even if you suffer at home, no one will pour water on you to wash your feet, and no one will be so frightened that you will kowtow to forgive your sins when you drop a teacup. ”

Xue Yao's voice was unusually high-pitched, and the tone was broken and hysterical.

Xue Miao forgot to cry and looked at her sister blankly, not knowing how to deal with herself.

……

In the pot house, the concubines made the meal.

In the end, most of the dishes were still handled by the Li family, and the Zhao family cooked a fish and fried two dishes alone, but where did she touch her hands on weekdays, she only felt that her bones were sour.

A table was set up in the upper room, and plates of dishes were brought in from the pot house.

Old Man Chen looked at the Li family with a smile, this is what life looks like.

The dishes were all served, everyone sat down, and Xue Yao and Xue Miao came out of the room.

The sisters sat beside Zhao with their heads down, their eyes were red, and although Xue Miao's face was covered with rouge and powder, the shadows of their fingers could still be seen.

Zhao looked at the appearance of the two daughters, guessed eight or nine points in his heart, felt distressed and couldn't eat the food, and secretly hated Zhang's in his heart. (To be continued......)
