"I knew you would clean up, but that's different, in it, you are a servant, and when you come home, you are your mother's delicate baby, let people serve you!" Aunt Zheng said, grabbed Yan Ran and walked inside, Yan Ran hurriedly said: "Mother, there is still fruit, she came to live in our house for two days!" ”

Guo'er, Aunt Zheng glanced at Guo'er, her face was suddenly a little embarrassed, she only saw her daughter, but didn't see the little girl next to her, and hurriedly said affectionately: "Hey, the older I get, the more forgetful I become, go in and sit inside." Chun'er, hurry up and come out with the quilt and make the bed again! ”

There is a little girl who is crisp and lively, and Guo'er can't say that she is busy, but there is still a look of envy on her face, being a big girl or something, it is not something to be envied, but the family is intimate and affectionate together, which is the most enviable. If my father and mother were still alive, maybe it would be different. Thinking about Guo'er, she couldn't help but feel a little gloomy, and when she entered the house at this time, Aunt Zheng took out the melon seeds and peanuts and stuffed them into Guo'er's hand, and Guo'er hurriedly put away her thoughts and said thank you.

Aunt Zheng San glanced at Guo'er and said: "What a well-behaved and clever child, you are in my house for the past two days, don't be polite, eat whatever you want, do whatever you want!" Guo'er hurriedly got up and said thank you, and Aunt Zheng held her down: "Don't be so polite, Yanran went in later than you, on weekdays, thanks to your help with some Yanran, no matter how strong this person is, he must have an arm!" ”

Guo'er smiled and knew that Yanran's mother and daughter were going to talk privately, so she immediately got up and said, "I'll go to the stove to help." Sister Yanran, you don't know, I can cook a few dishes, I learned it when I was in the kitchen. I'll make it for you! After speaking, Guo'er didn't wait for Aunt Zheng to object, so she rolled up her sleeves and went to the kitchen, Aunt Zheng said politely to her, and let the little girl take her down.

There were only two mother and daughter left in the house, and Aunt Zheng took her daughter into her arms: "I haven't seen you for four or five months, you are taller than before, mother, I have been thinking about you!" ”

"Mother!" Yanran reached out and hugged Aunt Zheng's neck, and got tired of her for a while before asking, "Where is the second brother?" And grandfather, shouldn't he come back for the New Year? "After Mr. Zheng said goodbye, he went to the property purchased by his son to retire. It's just that every New Year's festival goes into the city for a walk.

"Isn't your eldest brother married? In April, your grandfather said that he would not come in during the New Year, otherwise the Hou Ye would ask, and then he would have to break the fee Hou Ye to reward things. In fact, if you want me to say, how could Master Hou not know these things? Speaking of her son, Aunt Zheng was a little depressed, although she was called the eldest brother and the second brother every day, her son called herself, but she was an aunt rather than a mother.

"Mother!" Yan Ran didn't understand her mother's heart disease, and pulled her sleeve with her hand, Aunt Zheng quietly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve before saying: "I'm nothing, but I'm just thinking, your eldest brother, you're going to get married, I'm happy again, and I'm really ...... then."

"Mother is happy, this is good, mother or give me a sister, be my mother's intimate little padded jacket!" The daughter is tired of being in her arms, and Aunt Zheng feels even more sorry for her, inside, in front of the people, how proper this girl is, and only when she returns home can she get tired in front of herself and learn to be like a child.

Aunt Zheng hugged her daughter tighter and shook her, just like when she was a child: "Okay, okay, give birth to a sister for you, be a mother's intimate little padded jacket!" Yanran raised her head: "However, my brother is fine, in the future, ......"

"You're a brother and a sister for a while, it's changing so fast! Get up. I'll see what good stuff my daughter brought me back! "Yanran is not a little doll after all, and Aunt Zheng felt that her arm hurt after hugging her for a while.

Yan Ran straightened up and opened the burden she brought back: "It's nothing, it's just that during the New Year, the old lady rewarded it, and the lady, the son of the world rewarded it." I don't have anything to spend, so I'll take it all home! ”

As soon as the burden was opened, there were some various purses inside, and there were some rare food, Aunt Zheng San picked up a purse, could feel something in it, put the purse down and took her daughter's hand: "I shouldn't say this, you are old now, you should save some money to make a dowry for yourself, otherwise you will also buy some jewelry!" ”

"I don't need it, besides, mother, we may not need a dowry!" After Yanran finished speaking, she turned around and saw that her mother was silent, so she grabbed her sleeve and shook it: "Mother, I know what you are thinking?" But I am the son of the Hou family, and I have no freedom as soon as I am born, and when I am older, where to go is not a word from the master? ”

Aunt Zheng San's heart was sour, and as soon as she put away the burden, she said to Yanran: "If you don't save it, I will save a dowry for you, and my daughter will definitely be able to sit on a flowery sedan chair and get married!" ”

Yan Ran felt that her nose was also a little sour, and she couldn't hold back the sourness and smiled at her mother: "Well, I will definitely sit in a sedan chair and get married!" Zheng Laosan, who was outside the door, stretched out two thumbs, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then cleaned up his mood before lifting the curtain and walking into the door: "You two mothers and daughters, what do you say in private rooms, tell me about it, when Yanran was a child, she was better than you and me, but now that she is older, she is not better with her father!" ”

"What are you talking about? Spread it out, are you ashamed or not? Aunt Zheng San said to her man with disgust: "Yanran said, my baby, Zhun Bao is a caring little padded jacket!" ”

"The little padded jacket is good, it's better to be as smart as Yanran!" Zheng Laosan looked at his daughter and said with emotion. The daughter is too good, smart and capable, and she is good, but if she is not good, it is okay to be a little bit. But how can there be such a coincidence in this world? As a son of the Hou family, life and death, honor and disgrace are all in the thoughts of the master's family.

Although the family has their own concerns, they are still affectionate when they talk, and when Guo'er helps make dinner, Zheng Laosan can't help but say a few more words to his wife, saying that she is really big. After dinner, they got together and talked for half the night, and then they went to sleep.

Guo'er and Yanran slept in the same room, smelling the smell of the freshly dried quilt, but Yanran couldn't sleep a little, today's words, it can be regarded as piercing a layer of window paper, but can he really do it? Originally, Yan Ran could have believed it, but now, Yan Ran didn't believe it.

Guo'er spoke: "Sister Yanran, you didn't fall asleep either?" Yan Ran snorted: "Are you not used to sleeping in this bed?" ”

"No, I'm not this, I'm just thinking, when I grow up and become a person, will I have such a harmonious home like Sister Yanran?" Guo'er's words made Yanran smile, and she straightened up and looked at Guo'er: "How old are you, just thinking about this?" ”

Guo'er felt that her face was a little hot, and since she couldn't sleep, she simply sat up: "No, Sister Yanran, I'm not ashamed, but I really want to have such a home." Yanran could hear the longing for family affection in Guo'er's words, and reached out to touch her head: "Yes, Guo'er serves the old lady well, the maid next to the old lady is very decent, and the old lady will ask you to match someone after seven or eight years, and you will definitely be able to pick it well!" ”

"Can this really be the case?" Guo'er asked with some suspicion, and Yanran smiled: "Of course it can be like this, Guo'er is so smart and can cook a few dishes, but I can't cook." How can you not marry a good person? How about having a harmonious home? ”

Guo'er smiled again when she heard Yanran's words, and the smile was only half revealed and quickly withdrawn, which was so shameless. But such a future sounds so beautiful, how good it would be to have a family that is kind and will not be scolded.

After staying at home for two days, Yanran and Guo'er went back to serve, and when they came back, they brought a bag of things, and when they went back, Aunt Zheng still packed a lot of things for Yanran and Guo'er, eating and playing. It was still enough for Yanran to scream that Aunt Zheng gave up.

There are so many things, Yanran and Guo'er can't help but walk a little slowly, and when they are about to reach the mouth of the alley, they suddenly jump out of the corner and clapped their hands when they saw Guo'er: "Guo'er, I heard the voice from the Zheng family's courtyard in the past two days look like you, and I feel strange, just wait here, it's really you!" ”

When Guo'er saw the visitor, her face turned white as soon as she landed, and she bit her lower lip and tried not to let herself fall. Yan Ran first thought that this was Guo'er's playmate, but when she saw that Guo'er didn't look like this, her eyebrows couldn't help frowning.

The little guy had already reached out to pull the fruit's hand: "Why don't you go to your uncle's house if you have a holiday, I have been thinking about you for a long time, my father said, when we pass fifteen, I will let you marry me!" As soon as the word marriage came out, Yan Ran couldn't help but widen her eyes, and then took a closer look, this little guy looked a little familiar, like the youngest son of the second housekeeper. couldn't help but shout: "What are you doing here?" Pull the maid in the old lady's room and say such things, wait until I go and tell the old lady, and beat you up! ”

The little guy fought that he was the son of the second steward, and was sent to Zeng Zhiqing by his own Lao Tzu drilled the camp, and realized that he was the future cronie of the future Hou Ye, and the position of the chief steward would sooner or later be in his own bag, and he didn't take Yanran in his eyes, and when he saw Guo'er hiding behind Yanran, he said, "What are you yelling about?" Guo'er was promised to me by her uncle, and our two families have already made a marriage, and I talk to my fiancée, what does it matter to you? ”

"Sister Yanran, there is no such thing, it's just that my uncle caught my aunt's ugly thing, and his father said that he wanted his son to marry me, but I didn't want to!" Scandal? Yanran subconsciously went to look at Guo'er, and saw that Guo'er's face was flushed, and after thinking about it for a while, why didn't she understand what this ugly thing was? It also understood why Guo'er came to Mrs. Zeng's room.
