The other carriage that Old Man Chen, Chen Zichang, and Chen Zigui rode in arrived at home before Chen Xuejiao, and they had already gone to the house at this time.

In the yard, Chen Zifu was putting the chopped cabbage into the cellar one by one, Chen Xuewa and Da Dan were helping to hold the cabbage next to them, and the three of them were wearing sacks to block the snow.

Seeing Li come in with a few children, Chen Zifu stopped what he was doing and smiled at Li.

"Third brother, why didn't you go to lunch at noon, I brought you some food back." Li raised the burden in his hand.

"It's snowing, I'm afraid that the cabbage in the yard will be frostbitten, so I'm cutting cabbage at home." Chen Zifu rubbed his hands, and his smile flashed with a hint of embarrassment.

"Let's get the cabbage into the cellar today, and when will the radish start, I'll take the handle." Li asked Chen Zifu with a smile.

"I thought about putting the radish cellar together today, but my mother said that the snow was falling densely, so I would pick up the radish tomorrow." Chen Zifu continued to rub his hands.

Chen Zifu has always listened to Mrs. Chen's words, he is a person who doesn't pay attention, and Mrs. Chen will do whatever she asks him to do.

"It's freezing at night." Li Shi looked at the vegetable garden worriedly, "Why are there still a few cabbages that have not been cut, and the snow can freeze this night, what a pity." ”

"Auntie, the cabbage left in the field was left by my father, and my father wanted to keep more for you, but my grandmother didn't want to, and my grandmother said that you would cut the cabbage yourself when you came back, and scolded my father......" Chen Xuewa broke off the outermost layer of snow on the cabbage leaves, pouted and said.

"Xuewa, what are you talking about?" Chen Zifu scolded.

Chen Zifu glanced at Li, a little embarrassed, he also wanted to help the upper room chop the cabbage together and store it, but he didn't dare to disobey Mrs. Chen's meaning. Mrs. Chen sat at the door and watched him cut, as long as he mentioned helping the big house, Mrs. Chen scolded him for being a eater.

Chen Xuejiao looked into the vegetable garden. At the beginning, the family said that it was okay. The big house in the vegetable garden can pick and eat at will, but as long as the big house picks the vegetables, Mrs. Chen's eyes will appear in the upper room, followed by a scolding of Huai. Last time, Chen Xueru made a few more leek pancakes, and Mrs. Chen ordered Chen Zifu to plane the entire leek field. Now there are still a few garlic sprouts, a slice of radish, and seven or eight Chinese cabbages left in the field. In total, more than 40 Chinese cabbage plants were planted in the field. The remaining seven or eight trees were obviously left by Chen Zifu to the big house.

Chen Xuejiao couldn't help but feel angry in her heart, this vegetable field has always been served by the Li family, sowing, seedlings, hoeing, watering, the children in their big house are not less, and when it comes to harvest, their own family only orders so much.

Farmers who don't know that cabbage can't be frozen in the snow, and if it's frozen, it can't be eaten, so they usually cut it down and move it into the cellar for storage before it snows. But Mrs. Chen asked Chen Zifu to chop and store the cabbage allocated to the upper room, but she was not allowed to help the big house. It's not obvious what makes the bad is.

It's just too much!

As early as a week ago, Li asked Mrs. Chen to cut the cabbage and store it, but Mrs. Chen disagreed, saying that the snow did not fall so early this year, so let the cabbage grow a few more days and hold her heart firm.

Xuewa's words made Li Shi come back to his senses, and he only felt a little chilled.

"Third brother, you are busy first, you go to the bottom of the cellar to ventilate first. Don't get bored. Li told Chen Zifu a few words and took the children into the house.

I heard that a family in Zhaojiazhuang was storing cabbage in the cellar. Because I forgot to breathe, I ran out of gas when I went in. Chen Xuejiao lived in the countryside in her previous life, and she had such an experience, because the cellar was not ventilated and sunlight was not visible, and it was easy to ferment carbon dioxide, and people would die as soon as they breathed.

Chen Xuejiao walked into the house and told Chen Xiucai the details of buying land. Chen Xiucai couldn't stop praising Chen Xuejiao for being sensible.

"My sister is now the landlord of our family, and we will all have to look at my sister's face when we eat and drink in the future." Chen Qi'an quipped.

The title deed was written in Xue Jiao's name, and the children had no objections, and Li and Chen Xiucai felt relieved that the children were united and friendly more than anything else.

“…… The mother and the third brother did not go to dinner. I brought some dishes and sent them separately later. Li said as he put the dishes on the plate one by one.

These dishes are very clean, before each dish starts, Li first put some in a clean bowl, and then ask Master Miao for a food box to bring. Because of the cold weather, Li carefully wrapped it with his baggage and took it home in his arms all the way, and it was still steaming at this time.

There were beef, pork ribs in sauce, lamb's blood, chicken nuggets, and many meat dishes mixed together, and it was so full that four large porcelain bowls were filled, and there was also a large bag of roast cakes.

"Mother, I think it's better to send it directly to the upper room, the third uncle and the third aunt are also the people in the upper room, and it is not good to send them separately." Chen Xuejiao reminded Li.

"Yes, mother, you sent it to the third uncle, and the fourth aunt was left behind, and she was going to talk about it again." Chen Xueru spoke up and responded to Chen Xuejiao.

"Okay, I'll send this dish to the upper room later, and we'll also put away the cabbage and radishes."

As he spoke, Li divided the dish into two portions, one large portion for the upper room and a small portion for his own dinner.

It is understandable that Li personally delivered the meals to the upper room. Although it cost Mr. Li the money to set up the banquet at noon, it was obviously in the name of the big house, and Mrs. Chen did not go, so the Li family naturally wanted to go and ask in person. Li put the food in the food box, afraid that the snow outside would fall inside, so he carried it to the upper room.

"Mother, I'll go with you." Chen Xuejiao put on a padded jacket.

"I'll go too." Chen Qiping climbed down from the kang.

Li's heart warmed, as long as he went to the room, the two children would follow him, lest he be wronged.

At this time, I saw a strong man walking out of the upper room, passing by Chen Xuejiao's house for a while, and then hurriedly disappeared through the courtyard into the vast snow.

Chen Xuewa ran from the cellar to the north wing, rolled her eyes and said to Li and Chen Xuejiao: "Butcher Zhao went to the upper room before you came to the house, and told the second aunt and grandmother about your land purchase. ”

Chen Xuejiao smiled gratefully at Chen Xuewa, who was reminding them to be careful about going to the room.

The person just now was Zhao Butcher, Dafang bought Zhao Yiming's land in Zhaojiazhuang, and it was normal for him to know it, after all, he was also from Zhaojiazhuang. It's just that he didn't expect him to come to the house and report to the second room.

Chen Xuejiao raised her eyebrows, they have already split up, and the money to buy the land is earned by themselves, and it is not the silver in the public school. What are you afraid of, anyway, the title deed is written with your own name.

Thinking like this, Chen Xuejiao followed Li into the upper room.

It was getting late, and the lights had not yet been lit in the upper room. When they walked in, they saw Chen Zichang, Chen Zigui, Zhang, and Zhao all there, as if they were saying something to Old Man Chen. Seeing Chen Xuejiao's family come in, they all stopped.

As soon as I took a look, I saw Xue Yao snuggling up next to Mrs. Chen, she was wearing a bright red bikina, covered with an autumn-colored jacket, and a purple skirt underneath.

The whole room was only Xue Yao's crisp laughter.

“…… On a snowy day like this, the plum blossoms in the back garden of Ding's house bloomed, and the old lady was in high spirits. Just people in the garden to light the dragon, prepare the stove, drink tea and enjoy the snow, not to mention how beautiful. Xue Yao smiled, and the jasper hairpin on her head swayed with her laughter, which was particularly conspicuous in the gray room.

"Rich and noble people are just a lot of strange things, what is beautiful in the snow, and the cold is to death." Zhang's mouth said so. There was envy in his eyes.

"Later, I'll take my milk to the garden." Xue Yao didn't answer Zhang's words. A trace of disdain scraped in his eyes, fleeting.

"Okay, okay, take me for a walk when the time comes, I heard that the garden is bigger than our Maoshan Village, and the scenery is the same as the one painted on the New Year." Mrs. Chen laughed.

Everyone didn't seem to notice the arrival of Li and the others. Li Shi held the food in his hand, his arm was sore, and his expression flashed with a trace of embarrassment.

Zhang's stepped forward, with flattery on his face: "Our Xueyao is so handsome, it's no wonder that Uncle Ding takes a fancy to her." After that, entering the house will be the style of the young grandmother. ”

Xue Yao's face was slightly stagnant, and Chen Xuejiao could see it clearly, I was afraid that Zhang's sycophant was slapped on the horse's feet. The name of the young grandmother of Ding Mansion is a thorn in Xue Yao's heart.

There was silence in the room.

At this time, Xue Yao exclaimed as if she had suddenly discovered a new world: "Oh, when did the eldest aunt and Xue Yao come in?" Why don't you say it? ”

In fact, everyone in the house had already found out that the Li mother and son had come in, but everyone thought they hadn't seen it.

At this time, as soon as Xue Yao's words came out, everyone looked at the Li family's mother and son.

Old Mrs. Chen snorted, and Chen Zichang and Chen Zigui looked pale.

"Mother, you didn't eat at noon today, I brought you vegetables, all of which you like to eat." Li reluctantly smiled and put the dish on the table.

Old Mrs. Chen snorted again, even though the light in the room was very dim, Xue Jiao could still see that her face was extremely smelly.

"It's a nice thing to say, it's obvious that you brought the leftover vegetables to the milk, and you thought it was as if you were filial." Chen Xuemiao choked on Li's words.

Chen Xuemiao's temperament has changed a lot these days, and as soon as Xueyao came back, she returned to her previous snarky appearance.

Chen Xuejiao glanced at her.

"This dish doesn't look bad, our family can't eat like this during the New Year, sister-in-law, your family is rich, I heard that there are two big tables of wine in the town, and you don't call me." Zhang pinched a piece of beef in the bowl with his hand, and said in a non-yin and non-yang manner.

"Why don't I poison you." Mrs. Chen scolded Zhang, "You don't look at who you are, you also deserve to go to Qingfeng Village for dinner, what pickled things." ”

In fact, scolding the Zhang family is actually scolding the big house.

Li bowed his head and said nothing.

Chen Xuejiao had long expected that they would encounter a storm when buying land, but she didn't expect it to be so fast.

"I don't deserve to go to Qingfeng Village for dinner, mother, you deserve it, you didn't go, and there is a sister-in-law, don't people invite a sister-in-law?" Zhang provoked.

Li's heart was slightly cold, who didn't know that in general, buying and selling land to invite guests to dinner, female dependents couldn't go to the table, if it weren't for Chen Xiucai lying on the bed, Li wouldn't have come forward in person, but Zhang talked about it.

A few days ago, the relationship between the concubines was slightly resolved, and before it was warm, it suddenly became cold again, not because the big house bought the land, they looked at the red eyes, and lined up.

They still thought that the big house was rich and rich, who didn't know that this money was the recipe that Chen Xuejiao thought of, boiling tea eggs every day, and in order to match a better taste, his hands were soaked in vinegar. At the beginning, for the sake of their own wealth, they asked Xue Jiao to change her eyes without blinking, but now when they saw that Xue Jiao was a little bit promising, they rushed up to pour cold water.

Li's eyes were red, she was not worth it for her children.

"Say less." Old Man Chen took a hard puff of his cigarette, and he held a new cigarette pouch given by Qingyu in his hand, which was gilded with copper, adding a touch of color to the dim room.

The big house did not ask Mr. Chen to look at the land, but Mr. Li helped to manage it, although in Qingfeng Village, Mr. Li spread out this matter to Mr. Chen and made it clear, but in the end, when he saw Mr. Li settle the bill, he had some dissatisfaction with the Li family in his heart.

The big house is divided, this is also the Chen family's business, how can you ask the Li family to pay for money when you invite guests to dinner outside, isn't this obviously not taking yourself in your eyes?

Because of this, Li Shi took the child into the house just now, and he didn't greet him. However, Mrs. Chen and Zhang's teased Li, and he felt that it was too much, so he stopped it. (To be continued......)
