When the owner and his wife returned, they brought a lot of food, drink, and supplies to the village. There are also a lot of rare knick-knacks.

Zhuang Xiaochu found a purple clay pot with a peculiar shape for the old gentleman, and the old gentleman used it to make tea, saying that the tea made in this purple clay pot was better than other pots.

Each of the beggars brought a pair of shoes, the shoes are made of cowhide, beautiful and worn, than the handmade cloth shoes look much more advanced, the beggars are very fond of it, saying that there is no need to wash the shoes.

I bought a bunch of all kinds of toys for the children in the village, vacated an empty house, spread the floor with mats, put the toys in it, and the older and younger children automatically drilled into it when they were not working;

I also bought a leather vest with a wallet for the old people in the village, and it is not cool to wear the old people's backs in winter.

The hand cream for the little daughters-in-law and the big girls, wash your hands after work, it is fragrant, and your hands will not crack when the wind blows...... Basically, everyone in each room has a small gift, and everyone says that the owner has everyone in mind at all times.

Xiao Qi also bought several truckloads of long-staple cotton, and the cotton clothes of the brothers in the village have been worn for four or five years, and it is time to prepare a new cotton clothes for everyone. All the brothers are happy together.

At the regular meeting in the evening, the beggars each reported on the situation of their team. The income in Hanakozhuang is basically relatively stable. There is a little friction at the bottom, and the beggars have also dealt with it themselves. Zhu Laosi handed over the account to Zhuang Xiaochu and said, "My Zhuang Master, we don't have much money left in the village now." ”

Zhuang Xiaochu said with a smile: "I have done a big thing, I bought a farm and a large piece of farmland in Meishan. ”

Zhuang Xiaochu told everyone his thoughts, and everyone thought that this arrangement was very good. Zhuang Xiaochu finally told everyone: "Don't tell the people below about Meishan's purchase of fields, to prevent people from talking too much, even if the grain is transported in the future, it will only be said that it is the grain purchased." In the future, if there is an emergency, let the brothers directly find half a catty and eight taels, and half a catty and half a two taels to settle the brothers in the farm. In this way, if something happens in the future, the brothers in the village have a place to avoid the limelight. The beggars also remembered it one by one.

The next day, Zhuang Xiaochu and his wife went to visit the brothers in the second courtyard. Bring everyone something to eat, drink and some small gifts. Brother Sun was also there, chatting affectionately for a while, and had lunch. Zhuang Xiaochu and his wife went to visit the godmother, carrying a few boxes of soft and glutinous hawthorn cake mung bean cake. When the old lady saw that her godson was coming, she couldn't close her mouth with joy. Pulling Xiao Qi up and down, Xiao Qi's face turned red, and the old lady said:

"I said such a handsome girl, why didn't I see it in the first place?" and said Zhuang Xiaochu:

"You stupid boy, I didn't see that I was old and dizzy, you said that you live in the same room with Xiaoqi every day, why didn't you see it?"

Zhuang Xiaochu said: "Godmother, Xiao Qi is a goblin, he used to be a boy, and suddenly he changed himself. Everyone in the room burst out laughing, and Xiao Qi couldn't help but spit on him.

The old lady took out a small cloth bag from her bosom, opened it layer by layer, and it was a gold bracelet made of fine gold wire, and the old lady said: "This bracelet was passed on to my mother by my mother-in-law, and my mother passed it on to me for several generations." There are two in total, one I gave to the second daughter-in-law, this one, originally for the eldest daughter-in-law, the boss has never married a daughter-in-law, this one I will make today to Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi is also my daughter-in-law. Boss, do you have any opinions?" Brother Sun said angrily, "I have no opinion. The old lady put the bracelet on Xiao Qi's wrist. Although the bracelet is light, this meaning is not ordinary.

The old lady also said: "Xiao Qi, you are my daughter-in-law now, that kid dares to bully you in the future, you sue me, I will clean him up with a crutch." ”

Zhuang Xiaochu said: "Godmother, are you my godmother or her godmother? Others are a daughter-in-law who forgets their mother, but I am a daughter-in-law who forgets her son!" Everyone laughed again.

The county magistrate's wife also rushed over when she heard the news, and took everyone to her house, and she and the county magistrate had already arranged a banquet. She said: "I have never had a sister, and now a sister has fallen from the sky." The group went to the county magistrate's house again, Zhuang Xiaochu and Xiao Qi took out the gift for Xiao Wenxuan, Xiao Wenxuan is about to learn to walk, and he will also say some simple words in a milky voice, which is very cute.

While eating, everyone listened to the owner and his wife talk about what they had seen and heard on this trip. Talking about the endless camellia fields in Meishan, the two-story houses with red bricks and blue tiles in the farm, watching the sunrise in Meishan, and the hooking of a big black fish with long limbs in the Meishan River...... When they heard this, they were all envious. The county magistrate's wife hasn't been out to play for a long time, and said that she will go to Meishan with Zhuang Xiaochu Xiaoqi in the future.

The county magistrate's wife gave Xiao Qi a hairpin with gold and phoenix inlaid gems, which was heavy, and Xiao Qi didn't wear it for two days. Zhuang Xiaochu asked: "The hairpin is worn step by step, why don't you wear it?" Xiao Qi said: "It's too precious, I'm afraid that it will fall and break it." "It's the fine gold bracelet given by the godmother, she likes it very much, and wears it every day, she said, this one is just right to wear, and it feels like having a mother by her side.

The long-staple cotton is very soft, and Xiao Qi arranged for the skilled hands in the beggar gang to make cotton clothes. I made one for my godmother first, and I also made one for Xiao Wenxuan. The outside of the godmother's cotton clothes is a purple-red dark flower cotton silk, the old lady tried it, it was soft and glutinous, and she liked it very much.

What was made for Xiao Wenxuan was a big red cotton silk with yellow edges, and on the chest, there was also a blessing word embroidered there, which was very beautiful to wear, like a blessing baby. Little Wen Lan can walk, and the cotton clothes are light and warm, which is just right for him to run and play all over the ground. When you go out, grab a cape set. The county magistrate's wife all boasted about Xiao Qiqiao's thoughts.

Then it was done for the old gentleman, the owner of the village and Brother Sun, then the beggars, then the team leader, and finally to the members of each Huazizhuang. Anyway, when winter comes, every brother and sister can wear soft and warm cotton clothes. On the outside of the cotton garment, put on the beggar's clothes or regular clothes. Ensure that every brother is warm and warm in winter.

Xiao Qi's mother-in-law has already made it for her, and it is a set of purple and pink cloud filigree. Xiao Qi said that she just made cotton and linen noodles like everyone else, and the people below said, "Then how can it be done, you are the wife of the owner, you have to be different from everyone, you have to take care of everyone." ”

In the past, the leaders of the village were all men, but now Xiao Qi has become the wife of the owner, and the mothers-in-law, daughters-in-law and girls in the village will automatically come to Xiao Qi when there is something, and Xiao Qi has become the leader of the women. Clothes and canteens are basically the responsibility of women, food, clothing, housing and transportation, and Xiao Qi is now in charge of two categories. Xiao Qi sometimes joked and said to Zhuang Xiaochu: "If you provoke me in the future, I will let you eat the most unpalatable food and wear the most ugly clothes for you." Zhuang Xiaochu said: "Don't dare, don't dare, women don't dare to offend." ”

There are sometimes a little disputes in Zhuangli, and Zhuang Xiaochu also tries to let Xiao Qi deal with it. Xiao Qi has been training by Zhuang Xiaochu's side, and he has also made some progress.
