Chapter 327: A New Maiden
"Haha, ha, ha!" Jue'er rolled with a smile while holding the family letter, and Xiaohu looked at the presumptuous and smiling brother-in-law who had no image at all, and was completely petrified.
"What makes you so happy?" Maybe it's been a long time since I've seen Jue'er so happy, and Chu Li is also very curious.
"It's my mother, my mother said, she, she, hahaha" Xiaohu is a quick temper, and he can't see Jue'er torturing people like this. simply snatched the letter and read it clearly.
"Ha Luha, there really is her." After quickly reading the family letter, Xiaohu said to Chu Li: "There is a family with the same surname Dong in the village, and if I have to recognize my relatives, my aunt will become a great-grandmother for some reason." ”
Even if he became a relative, Xiaohu rarely called Dong Xiaoman "mother", and always called him his former aunt. And Jue'er and Huanhuan will estimate her face when Zhu'er is present, and call her brother-in-law. Most of them are based on the original Tiger Brother, which everyone has a very tacit understanding of.
"Then I became someone's grandfather all of a sudden, and I heard that the child had a sister who was similar to my sister. Maybe you'll call me grandfather when you see me in the future, hahaha. "It's really a big deal, no matter how big or small, Chu Li shook his head secretly.
These two brothers are happy because they have inexplicably become other people's grandfathers, how much fun does it take to make them like this?
"That's it? What else did your mother say? How is she doing with Huanhuan, how is your father? "Chu Li is a little older than them in the end.
"That's nothing, my mother said everything was fine." Chu Li nodded: "Tell you that my mother already has some eyebrows here, and I have already reported the strange part of this case to the imperial court." Regardless of the outcome, what are our capabilities. Someone up there will definitely be an eye on it. ‘
Now the question is. They had already determined that the whole thing had nothing to do with that Wang Gui. And the most important witness is the steamed bun. They have to be careful, they can't let Wang Gui get suspicious and kill the steamed buns again, and there is no proof of death. There is also the need to find out the maids who were taken away around the midwife back then, and even those who have something to do with the case up and down the long house.
"Jue'er's letter said that Bai Lan and Bao'er are already our people. With their help in the long house, Jue'er is much easier. As for why the previous judgment hindered Chu Li, it was clear that there were many doubts, and the case should be settled quickly, and Chu Li would deal with it. Xiaohu is responsible for inspecting Wang Gui, and Jue'er wants to do a good job in business. Dong Xiaoman read the family letter, and then carefully read it to make sure that there was no omission. He threw the book into the pit and burned it clean with the flames.
"I can't figure it out. Bai Lan is such an arrogant person, why should he follow the second room? "People have money, it's meaningless.
"My mother's family has been hurting you for a long time, and you see that after Old Man Bai is gone, Brother Bai Lan will be in charge. Will you give anything to this favored sister? Bai Lan suddenly cut off the source of money, but she had land, land and shops in her hands. Bao'er doesn't have that ability, and she is also a master who sits and eats nothing. Dong Xiaoman said while mixing the dumpling filling.
"Great-grandmother, the water in the pot is already boiling. What do you think I'm doing? Apricot flashed her black and white eyes and asked neatly and crisply.
Xing'er is the purpose of Grandma Song, she is the dog's sister. The dog's mother, that is, Grandma Song's daughter, gave birth to a total of three children, the eldest is a girl named Cui'er, the second is called Xing'er, and the third is a dog. Their family is very poor. It's easy to save enough money to let Cui'er get married. There are still two children missing, and the difference between Apricot and Dog is a year old.
If the daughter's family gets married, she wants to make her in-laws' family look at it. The dowry is the most important guarantee. Her mother knows this truth very well, so when Cui'er got married, she almost gave everything she had. Although I have saved a few silver now, I still think that the dog will marry a daughter-in-law in the future. If you marry a good daughter-in-law, you have to build a house, and it takes three years and five years to build a house and marry a daughter-in-law.
After this calculation, Xing'er's mother couldn't sit still, and the two of them thought hard for a few days and didn't come up with it, so they went to ask Grandma Song to give a way.
Grandma Song was also worried at first, and after learning about Dong Xiaoman's family, she decided to let Xing'er go to their house to give it a try.
"I know that there is no shortage of people in your family, and our apricots are not sold to you. Xing'er has been sensible since she was a child, let's think about this child's dowry, she and her mother saved together. If you work as a long-term worker for your family, to put it bluntly, you will save a lot of money for food and fabric. The work in my hands is also neat, and I can save some money in my hands. Her mother gave her some more, and it was enough for the dowry. What a happy thing it is to get married in the future. What Grandma Song said, Dong Xiaoman couldn't believe it.
She found Xing'er herself and her parents, but she didn't expect it to be true. Dong Xiaoman thought that he wanted his daughter to come out to work and save money for his younger brother to marry his daughter-in-law.
Originally, Dong Xiaoman felt that the people in the family were too thin, although there were only four people. She and Erya are usually enough, but they are not enough to be busy.
The vegetable garden in the house has to be tended to, the poultry in the backyard have to be raised, the food at home has to be cooked, and the clothes have to be washed for sewing and mending. In addition to these, when they usually come back from hunting, if there is such a big thing, Dong Xiaoman also likes to entertain them. Those seafood and game have to be sorted out and dried every day to prevent wild cats and wild dogs from spoiling them.
Wei Chi and Wei'er have their own affairs, especially since Wei'er learned art. The master's mouth is tricky, his life is even more tricky, and Dong Xiaoman has prepared everything neatly and neatly for food and clothing.
In this way, the two of them are really too busy, and they want to find a reliable person. This little girl who came to the door was also very likable.
"Does Xing'er know how to make dumplings, our living ancestors want to eat dumplings. If you want leek eggs and shrimp by name, we have to wrap them neatly. Erya said as she spoke.
"I, our family doesn't usually eat such expensive things. Even during the Chinese New Year, my mother was reluctant to let me get it, for fear that I would be blind. Xing'er looked at the big pot of stuffing in Dong Xiaoman's hand with glowing eyes, and swallowed saliva.
Mother is right, this master family is really good. They can eat whatever they eat, and it depends on Brother Ma's ability to make three bowls of noodles every day. The uncle is like he didn't see it, and the grandmother is not surprised.
The mother also said that she should eat less and do more, and she was not allowed to be greedy. But I've only been here for a few days, and this food hasn't been the same.
In the morning, everyone eats together, and every day there are steamed buns, noodles and sorghum rice. There are seven or eight pickles that are not the same for the rice, and if you eat noodles, everyone will have a poached egg.
At noon, the three of them ate at home, but they still had to bring food to Young Master Wei'er and his master. There are four dishes every day, one stir-fry, one stew, one cold dish and one soup. It's not the same like this, and there's meat all the time.
When Xing'er came home, she taught her mother: "The meat I ate at noon on the first day was fish, the second day was stewed hen, the third day was spicy fried robe meat, and the fourth day was braised pork." Vegetarian dishes are stir-fried cabbage with fungus, fried gourd strips, stewed pumpkin, and mushroom slices. ”
Xing'er crossed her fingers and told her father that her greedy brother swallowed his saliva.
Xing'er Niang smashed her mouth and said: "My mother, my second girl fell into the golden nest." Why are they so nice to you? Can you listen to your mother's words and work hard? ”
"Well, my mother's family seems to have been eating like this all the time. I was surprised to see that I was alone, and the people around me didn't feel anything. But it's strange when eating, my aunt and grandmother eat together with Master Wei'er. The rest of the people eat at another table. ”
Xing'er Niang didn't think anything: "Maybe it's because they're widows, I can tell you that it's a good errand." After that, you don't want to eat at the table, just squat under the stove and eat the leftovers. Don't let the host give you a face to let you serve on the table, and you won't know how to be ashamed. ”
Xing'er nodded: "Zhilu said to my mother"
"Second sister, when will you come back? The snacks you brought me were delicious. When the dog saw that his sister was leaving, he was very reluctant.
"My grandmother said that I was young, and as long as I had nothing to do, I could go home and help the family." Apricot showed a pair of small white teeth, looking a little fatter than a few days ago.
"You can't come back and get something." Xing'er Dad was silent for a long time, and finally spoke.
Xing'er saw her brother holding her mouth, and couldn't help laughing: "That's what my aunt said I wanted to take." Dad, don't worry, I can't make trouble. These snacks are all made by the two grandmothers when they are idle, and their families don't like to eat them. Let me bring it back to you to try it! ”
Xing'er's father and mother looked at each other: "Oh, what kind of people were they before." These good fruits are all made to amuse boring people?! ”
"Xing'er, what are you smirking at there?" Erya reconciled and said funny.
Xing'er reacted embarrassedly and said, "I thought about going back to tell my parents about our dumplings, it must make them find it interesting." Last time I went home and got some snacks, and I told them about our family, and they thought I had fallen into the golden nest. ”
Dong Xiaoman put down his chopsticks and turned around and said with a smile: "What did you say about our family?" ”
Xing'er said heartlessly: "Let's just say that our family eats well, and there is meat to eat at once." If you don't beat me, I'll let me eat at the table. ”
"Xing'er, is your mother not letting you eat at the table? So since you came back last time, you've been squatting in the kitchen every day to eat. Eryard smiled and asked softly.
"Well, my mother said that the owner will take me for sure, I can't be ignorant of etiquette." Xing'er is a good boy, but there are some things that Dong Xiaoman feels that he still has to pay.
"Xing'er, I have something to tell you. Listen carefully. Xing'er immediately stood upright, looking like she was listening to the lecture.
"Your mother taught you very well, I didn't expect your tutor to be so good." Dong Xiaoman opened his mouth to praise, which made Xing'er panic. (To be continued......)
