Since he had a plan to save private money in his heart, Jia Yuanchun thought about it. He has always known that Jia's mother loves Jia Zheng's little son very much, and pities him for nothing, if Jia's mother knows the difficulties on his side, she will naturally pay him money.

This must also be known to the people of the big house. 30,000 taels of silver a year, that is the obligation of Jia Yu, who is the eldest son, to his mother, and how to arrange these 30,000 taels of silver is the freedom of the old lady, even Jia Yu, the eldest son, has no right to ask. It's just that if you don't let the people in the big house know, then once Jia Yu feels that he has been deceived, he is likely to be very angry and turn a blind eye to his family, but if he comes clearly, even if Jia Yu's family is not interested in him, it is not easy for them to stop the old lady from supplementing the younger son and granddaughter.

But before this qiē, the most important thing is to find a way to please the old lady.

Jia Yuanchun stayed up for two nights, made a forehead wipe for Jia's mother, loaded it with a small box, and personally held it. Coincidentally, when he entered Jia's mother's yard, he happened to see Jia Jiu holding Jia Cong, who was only one year old, to greet Jia's mother.

"Second sister, Cong'er is not young anymore, right? Sink or not? Otherwise, let the grandmother hold it. ”

Jia Jiu smiled and said, "No need, big sister, I've been hugging me for almost a month, but I don't feel that Cong'er is heavy, I think I'm used to it." It was getting late, and the old lady was getting up. Big sister please. ”

"Sister, please."

The two sisters gave in to each other, and then entered the house one after the other. Jia Baoyu, who was sleeping in the blue yarn cupboard, heard that the two sisters were coming, and she didn't wait to comb her hair, so she came out and said, "Big sister, second sister, why did you come?" I haven't seen my two sisters these days, what are they doing? ”

Jia Yuanchun smiled and said, "Your sister-in-law is going to add a nephew to the family." Now that there is no shortage of people at home, where is there so much time to play? I'm okay. It's your second sister, who is only one year older than you, and has to take care of the eldest wife and the younger brother below. ”

Jia Jiu was busy competing with Jia Cong, who was biting his hand, and it was easy for Jia Cong to stop gnawing his nails, but when he heard this, he also smiled: "Look at what the big sister said." I'm just doing my duty as a daughter and a sister. When my eldest sister was at home, didn't she do her best for my cousin? My sister is just learning from the same thing. ”

In a few words, Jia Yuanchun was full of ironing and said, "My sister is really good at talking." ”

While she was talking, Mother Jia came out of the room, and the four cousins hurriedly went up to greet Mother Jia. As soon as Jia Mu raised her eyes, she saw Jia Baoyu's hair in a mess, and immediately beckoned Jia Baoyu to come over and clean it up for him personally, but said with a smile: "What are you sisters talking about?" I've heard you giggling and talking from afar. ”

Jia Yuanchun smiled, and immediately briefly described the matter of Fang Cai, and a few words made Jia Mu smile: "Exactly." Home and everything is prosperous. You must always be like this, and you will always be in harmony with each other, and you will also work together and take care of each other in the future. ”

Jia Yuanchun said with a smile: "Don't worry, the old lady, the granddaughter knows." This is the forehead wiping made by the granddaughter for the old lady, is it suitable for the old lady to see? ”

Mother Jia hurriedly asked Jia Yuanchun to put it on herself, and asked someone to bring a mirror. After taking a long time from left to right, he said, "Yuan girl's hand is still the same skillful." It's a pity. ”

Jia Yuanchun knew that Jia Mu was referring to his future, and his heart was uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to say more, so he had to turn his face away and quietly wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Jia Baoyu saw that her sister was uncomfortable, and was about to speak, but saw Jia Jiu take a step forward and said, "Old lady, look at our Cong'er, she has already grown teeth." ”

When Jia Mu heard this, she hurriedly asked Jia Jiu to go over, and looked at Jia Cong's newly erupted front teeth with Jia Jiu's hand, and said, "It's not." These six little teeth are really likable. Is this kid making a fuss? ”

"How can there be no trouble! It's still good now, and I'm going to sleep when I'm tired of playing for a while. When he was almost asleep, his teeth began to itch again, and he began to make noise. I don't know where he got the strength, if no one pays attention to him, he will cry all night. ”

Jia Mu smiled: "Still talking." Which of you didn't come over like this? Baoyu didn't want to say that he was weak when he was born, and the voice was like a cat humming. But when you were young, you and your big sister and your big brother Zhu were the most noisy. Especially you, that sound is about to tear off my roof. The old woman just moved you to the back room, and you can still hear your crying. You kid is still the most restless, and it's useless to coax the grandmother. Later, it was the old woman who took you to sleep in the warm pavilion and coaxed you personally, so you were willing to sleep. ”

Jia Baoyu said: "It turns out that the second sister was so naughty when she was young? ”

"Being naughty is still a trivial matter. Your second sister is better than her body and bones, and she has never been sick, but it is you who make me, an old woman, the most worried. Jia Mu nodded Jia Baoyu's forehead.

The old people like to talk about the ancients the most, and Jia's mother is no exception, speaking of these grandchildren when they were infants, Jia's mother is even more like a treasure: "Yuan girl is my first granddaughter, which is naturally rare." When I first brought you over, you were only a little bit old, like a newborn kitten, with little crying and little strength. Although it is louder than when Baoyu was born, it is not as loud as when the second girl was born. Poor thing, your mother hurt her body when she gave birth to you, and when he gave birth to your eldest brother, she only did a thirty-day confinement, and when she gave birth to you, she did two months of confinement before she could go to the ground, and she raised her in the house for several months before she could come to me to say goodbye to this old woman. When he can come here to say goodbye, you, a little conscienceless person, recognize me, an old woman, a grandmother, and a girl in the house, but you don't recognize your own mother, your mother doesn't say anything on face, but behind her back, she annoys me, an old woman, and causes me to carry the black pot for your milk doll. ”

Jia Yuanchun blushed, lowered his head and stroked the clothes on his body.

Jia Jiu said: "Old lady, what about me? ”

Mother Jia said: "Your eldest sister knew to recognize people when she was a milk doll, and she cried once she was held by a living person." If you are holding the old woman, you will throw yourself on the old woman's body, and if you are holding the person, you will play with your fingers and not say a word. At that time, relatives liked to hug you. The old woman is so worried. Why is this hairy girl so unguarded? In the future, it can't be a master who has been sold and helped to count the money! ”

Saying that, Mother Jia scratched Jia Jiu's nose, but when she saw Jia Cong's eyes widening and looking at herself, she couldn't help laughing: "I'm afraid this kid is the same as his sister, and he is also a person who doesn't recognize life." ”

Jia Jiu said with a smile: "Old lady, Cong'er is the old lady's own grandson, so naturally she is close to the old lady." Someone else, I don't know how he made a fuss. If it weren't for his stinky problem, he wouldn't have picked out a new grandmother until now, and he could only be raised by his granddaughter. ”

When Jia Mu heard this, she said, "Really? That's a good feeling. To be a man, you should be clever, there is a way to harm people, and you can't have the heart to prevent people. The sinister human heart cannot be guarded against. However, how did you raise him? His grandmother, surnamed Qian, isn't it? Why don't you wait? ”

Jia Jiu said: "Last time, I sent news from Mama Qian's house, saying that Mama Qian's child was not good. Mama Qian was not worried about the child, so she asked her granddaughter for a leave. After his father found out, he felt that this Mama Qian would not be able to take care of her younger brother wholeheartedly in the future, so he gave Mama Qian a reward and let Mama Qian go home. Later, I also picked a grandmother, but as soon as they got close, Cong'er cried, preferring to cry until she hiccups than eat their milk, and her granddaughter had to let them go back. ”

Jia Mu said: "No milk grandma? So what does this kid eat? ”

Jia Jiu said: "A thick rice soup made from high-quality rouge rice, accompanied by a small bowl of tender egg custard. Cong'er likes to eat this very much, and can eat three meals a day. If there is steamed crucian carp on the dinner table, he can eat half of the fish belly in one go. And the river porridge I made for my mother, he could eat a small bowl in one go. ”

When Jia Mu heard this, she said, "Won't you have diarrhea?" ”

Jia Jiu said: "No." Every time he came out of Gong, he would hum, and his granddaughter had invited experienced mothers to see it, saying that although the frequency of his younger brother was a little higher, he knew that he was in good shape by looking at the color and shape of his eyes. ”

Jia Baoyu said: "Second sister, it's about to be eaten, can you not say anything about Gong?" ”

Jia Mu and Jia Jiu were stunned and laughed.

It happened that Jia Cong sat between Jia's mother and Jia Jiu for a long time, and when he saw that no one paid attention to him, he saw Jia Baoyu sitting in Jia's mother's arms talking, and stretched out his hand to pull Jia Baoyu's hair. Jia Baoyu shouted out, panicked Jia Mu, Jia Yuanchun, and Jia Jiu, one of them was busy comforting Jia Baoyu, one protecting Jia Baoyu's hair so that Jia Baoyu's scalp would not be ripped off, and the other was appeasing Jia Cong and letting Jia Cong go.

The five of them were in a mess, and even the girl on the side came to help, and it was easy for Jia Cong to let go of Jia Baoyu's hair, but as soon as he saw Jia Cong turn around, he threw himself into Jia Jiu's arms.

Jia Mu smiled: "This child is also a cautious eye. That's good, too. When you grow up in the future, your brother will support you above, and your brother will protect you below, and you will always be smooth in your life. ”

Jia Baoyu listened below, and immediately said: "Old lady, when I am older, I can also support and protect the old lady." ”

"Good, good. The ancestors waited. ”

Jia Mu said yes repeatedly, but she turned her back on others, but quietly wiped the corners of her eyes.
