Chapter 143: Envelopes
A warm current, moved to say his true thoughts: "Eldest sister, I used to be alone before I wanted to go to the embroidery workshop to find a way out, but now I have a godfather and a stepmother, and there is also a big sister, even the eldest brother and the second brother treat me like a sister-in-law, with so many of your relatives, I don't want to go anywhere." ”
In the past ten years, although he has a biological father who depends on him, his life is poor. Later, her father went all of a sudden, and there was a ruffian waiting for an opportunity, so she couldn't sleep well and wanted to go with her father. Later, she was rescued by the eldest sister and younger brother and recognized her godparents, she really regarded the Guo family as her home and dependent.
Although she went to the embroidery workshop to learn art, she would have a good future in the future, so she would rarely be able to be with her relatives, which was not what she wanted at all. She would rather be tired and have a hard life than live without her relatives by her side.
Guo Mianmian looked at Yueniang and could see that Yueniang was talking from the heart, but the little girl still had a long time to come, and she didn't want her to repent in the future, so she persuaded bitterly: "You will be sixteen, if it weren't for the warm filial piety on your body, my father and mother would have shown you someone earlier." Just these three years you are at ease in the embroidery workshop to learn art, three years later is only nineteen years old, there is a body of technology, even if you can't find a rich in-law will not be very bad, you can not just look in front of you, you have to think about your future days. ”
Yueniang didn't think about it, it was only after thinking through all her worries that she had the courage to show her thoughts tonight: "Eldest sister, I have thought about what you said, and what I told my eldest sister is my last decision!" The eldest sister has another stepmother, they don't dislike me eating white rice at home, but let me stay at home and work for the rest of my life, and I am happy. ”
Looking at the strong look on Yueniang's face, Guo Mianmian knew that this girl was planning to leave home. She sighed helplessly, patted her on the shoulder, and finally accommodated: "You girl has said everything to this point, can I not allow it?" If you change your mind one day, feel free to tell me that you are my sister anyway, and I always hope you can live happily. ”
When Yueniang heard this, her eyes were full of tears, but a big smile appeared on her face: "I know the eldest sister, I won't be polite to you." ”
Guo Mianmian also laughed and rubbed her head: "Silly girl! ”
Yueniang's decision, the rest of the Guo family soon knew. Like Guo Mianmian's reaction, everyone advised Yueniang to be cautious. It's just that Yueniang has made up her mind, so she let her go, and joked that she was reluctant to leave home, so when she was out of the filial piety period, she would find a good mother-in-law in the village next to her, so as to facilitate the family's exchanges.
In this regard, in addition to being shy, Yueniang is also quietly looking forward to it in her heart. She believed that her stepmother would do what she said and would not plot anything about her in marriage.
When Mu and the others went to the county seat, everything in the Guo family did not change much. It's a little less chattering and noisy, and the home is really a lot quieter, and everyone has a lot of talent to adapt to it.
Winter goes to spring, after entering the middle of spring, the sky is warmer day by day, especially after a few spring rains have been poured into the spring cold, the grass that has been holding back for a winter quietly drills out of the ground and emerges from the tender tips of the prickly, and the weeping willows by the river are also gradually green under the blowing of the warm wind, and there are more birds and finches that fly to the yard to grab food with chickens.
On a sunny day, Guo Mianmian instigated his two brothers and fiancés to fill the thirty vat in the family with the anointed soil. The soil is dug from the vegetable garden, and because of the frequent fertilization and raking, the soil in the vegetable garden is deep and fluffy, and it is very good for cultivating flowers.
Therefore, it is chosen to cultivate flower seeds in a large vat, and when the vaat comes, it is placed in the yard, which is very convenient to take care of; Second, when the weather warms up, there are more pests in the ground, and the flowers and seedlings that are sown are sown are easy to be eaten by pests.
In addition, it is also to guard against someone who has the intention of causing harm to the flower seedlings that grow. If this kind of environment happens, the flower garden will have to be put on hold for another year, and then it will teach people to vomit blood!
As for the thirty vats, half of them were bought by the Guo family from the town, and half were borrowed from the village. Most of these vats are used for pickling sauerkraut or making sauce, Guo Mianmian wants to spend silver to rent for a month, but those people in the township don't want money, so each family gives five eggs to express their gratitude.
When these vats are used up and cleaned, they can still be used as pickle jars to make pickles, and those who borrow the vats do not lose anything. Because of this, those people lent it to the Guo family so pleasantly, and they knew that it cost thirty or forty yuan to buy a large vat, and everyone would feel distressed if it was broken.
In order to make the budding rate higher, before transplanting into the flower garden, before planting the flowers into the vat, Guo Mianmian based on his resume, soaking all the flowers in controlled warm water for a while and then letting them stand for a night. Early the next morning, she planted the softened flowers in the vat.
There are nearly ten kinds of flowers handed over to Guo Mianmian by the shopkeeper of Song, and the plump grains are all carefully selected high-grade products. Such a flower species not only has a high bud rate, but also has a strong ability to adapt to the plant, and is much better in resisting pests and diseases, so you can feel much more at ease when you look at it.
"Ye'er, your second brother and I have been planting for so many years, and I have never heard of soaking the seeds in warm water before planting, what if the soaked ones can't sprout?" Regarding Guo Mianmian's practice of soaking the seeds in warm water, Guo Lin was very unapproving of it, and he chattered from the beginning, until the seeds all went down to the vat, and he was still struggling with this problem.
Guo Mianmian took the black tarpaulin cut by the second brother and Yueniang, and sealed the mouth of the vat with the help of Zheng Rin, so that the soil in the vat can absorb light and heat so that the flower seeds can sprout faster. ”
When Guo Lin heard this, the hinge scissors in his hand almost didn't cut his own hands: "Ye'er, you will take care of a year's money for a year, you are so unreliable, it is better to ask the shopkeeper Song to help us raise flower seedlings and take them to the garden in March." ”
Liu came out with two tarpaulins, and when he heard her husband's words, she couldn't help but sarcastically: "I think you are in the eye of money, and I don't want to think about the things that Mianmian did, which one is unreliable?" ”
This trust can be said to be a little blind, Guo Mianmian hurriedly said: "It's my luck that those things can be done, this time I don't know the bottom of my heart, whether I can succeed depends on whether God will give me face." ”
Guo Mianmian's heart is indeed bottomless, or the seeds in the seed state have not yet understood, and she can't understand their needs with them. She has indeed used this method in the past and it has been very successful, whether it is 100% sure whether it is applicable to all the seeds, can only be explored step by step.
"Alas, it's so tiring to work behind you!" Guo Lin's heart was completely disturbed by his sister's words, and his eyes were staring at the vat, wishing that new seedlings would emerge from it now.
In short, before the seeds sprout, he doesn't want to sleep smoothly, who makes this flower seed is his Hongyuan ideal can be played smoothly!
Several people stood on the edge of the vat talking and laughing, and at this time a person was found at the gate of the open courtyard. The man was about fifty years old, and when he saw that the people in the courtyard didn't notice him, he raised his hand and knocked on the door and asked respectfully: "Dare to ask if this is the Guo family in Lijia Village?" ”
Guo Mianmian was facing the direction of the courtyard gate, and was the first person to see the courtyard gate after hearing the knock. Seeing that the person's dress was not like that of a cropper, and his behavior was quite orderly, he cautiously replied: "This is the Guo family in Lijia Village, I don't know who this uncle is looking for?" ”
The man breathed a sigh of relief, raised his foot and stepped into the door and walked in front of Guo Mianmian's eyes, and after giving a respectful salute, he stood up and said, "Dare to ask if this lady is Guo Niangzi?" ”
Guo Mianmian raised her eyebrows slightly and nodded: "Yes, I am." ”
The man's face was overjoyed, and he quickly said: "The old slave's surname is Qiu, and he is doing things for the Fang family in Yunlai County. As he spoke, he took out a letter from his sleeve and presented it to Guo Mianmian's eyes with both hands.
Guo Mianmian's expression changed, she glanced at Qiu Shishi, and cautiously took the envelope from him. Seeing that there was not a word on the envelope, and there was only a thin page in the letter, she was almost sure why Leader Fang would automatically send someone to find her.
Taking a deep breath, Guo Mianmian looked at Qiu Shishi, who was still waiting for a reply, and returned the letter without even looking at it: "Tell your master, I'm just a commoner, I don't know anything, and there will be no more when I pass through the house." ”
Qiu Shishi never expected this result, and suddenly looked up at Guo Mianmian incredibly, clearly unable to believe that someone really had the courage to refuse his master's invitation.
In fact, before he came, Fang He had reminded Qiu to do things, no matter what kind of reply he got this time, he had to be polite and not to restrain the Guo family. Qiu didn't take things to heart, and he didn't expect to be slapped in the face so soon.
Guo Mianmian didn't look at Qiu Shixing again, and also missed the brothers and sisters-in-law who came to the discussion, and said to Zheng Rin: "It's time to make lunch, I'll go to the kitchen to cook a few dishes, you can enter and help!" ”
Guo Lin and the others looked at the sun that had not yet risen overhead, and when they came back to their senses, their sister and prospective brother-in-law were no longer in the courtyard.
Seeing himself being ignored, Qiu's face was a little unbearable. After being immersed in the Fang family for many years, and being reminded by the master beforehand, even if he was unhappy in his heart, he didn't dare to give the Guo family an expression.
Just looking at the envelope in his hand, a wry smile appeared on his old face, and he arched his hand to Guo Lin and the others and left the Guo family. From entering to leaving, there was not even a single cup of tea that stopped.
Guo Lin looked at each other, casually looked at the kitchen, and then looked at the nearly twenty large vats in the yard that still had time to be sealed, and arbitrarily stayed to continue cutting and sealing.
In the kitchen, looking at the man who was staring at him without blinking, waiting for an answer, Guo Mianmian decided to start from the first time she went to Fang's house last year to save Fang's Guhuai, she didn't want to have a little misunderstanding with the man.
Otherwise, someone will come to the door for a reason, and if it is replaced by another short-tempered man facing this kind of thing, the world will fall apart long ago.
Guo Mianmian didn't know about it, her fiancé didn't question her at all, but he was a little puzzled why she was related to the Fang family. You must know that the Fang family is not as easy as it seems inside, he was worried that she would be targeted by the Fang family when she encountered troubles, so he wanted to figure things out.
The process of contacting Fang Xingsheng was not complicated, and Guo Mianmian quickly told the ins and outs of the matter, including the incident of accidentally discovering the poisoning of the golden mouth Molan in the Green Pavilion that day.
, She did not confide in the fact that the owner of the golden-mouthed Molan was poisoned, but only said that from Fang He's abnormal reaction, it was not easy to guess that the poisoning of the golden-mouthed Molan, and it probably involved people and things that she didn't understand. Because she was worried about causing trouble to herself and her family, she sent a letter to the Shicai family, and she refused without hesitation, and she didn't even open the letter.
There are almost no loopholes in this statement, and Zheng Rin, who has a reason, will not question his fiancée. After listening to Guo Mianmian's words, he comforted: "I'll solve this matter."
