Qiao Ximei came here, and the Cao family didn't want to hide it. After all, she is not the only one in the family, and she can't hide it even if she hides it.

But she didn't mention that Qiao Ximei asked Li Huai to pay the money home:

"By the way, our father and mother are here today.

I think our mother is rich. They came in a donkey cart!

The little black donkey, oily and slippery, is well raised. The donkey cart was covered with green cloth, and it didn't look very conspicuous, but it was actually quite spacious inside, and it could seat four or five people. ”

Li Huai's eyebrows jumped:

"Our mother actually bought a donkey cart?"

Cao smiled:

"My mother didn't mention the donkey cart. I didn't ask either. Our mother came here to give us good news.

Do you remember the four-room virtuous brother? Our mother sent Brother Xian'er to the Zhi Academy.

I came over to talk to us today, and said that I wanted to borrow Brother Wen's old books. I pushed it. ”

Li Huai frowned, and several folds came out of his nose:

"Our mother is actually able to go through the relationship between the Academy?" Li Huai suddenly felt that he had to maintain his relationship with his mother.

Seeing Li Huai's appearance, Cao's heart suddenly felt cold.

It seems that it was not Li Huai who carried himself behind his back and helped Qiao Ximei get through the relationship with the academy.

I think so, why does Li Huai want to cultivate a virtuous brother?

Even if he plans to give Brother Wen a boost, I'm afraid he won't choose someone from the fourth room.

Li Huai's face was full of calculations, and he was thinking about how to get some benefits from Qiao Ximei's relationship.

Cao and Li Huai have been husband and wife for many years, and when they saw his face at this time, they knew what he was thinking. I couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

She originally mentioned this matter, firstly, she wanted to knock Li Huai secretly and ask him not to do things for Qiao Ximei behind her back, and secondly, she also wanted to provoke Li Huai's dissatisfaction with her mother-in-law Qiao Ximei.

Who would have thought that Li Huai, a snob, would actually remember to maintain the relationship with Qiao Ximei!

Isn't that counterproductive?

The Cao family originally planned to hide that Qiao Ximei asked Li Huai to pay one or two pieces of silver to the public every month. When she went back and waited for Qiao Ximei to not see the silver for a long time, she was angry, and she made trouble on Li Huai's head, and it would be a lot of fun.

According to Li Huai's temperament, he must hold a grudge.

But who would have thought that at this time, Li Huai was already thinking about Qiao Ximei's door!

Cao Shi was impulsive, but he didn't hold back:

"I don't know how much favor our mother has taken on in this relationship. Today, our mother also said that she wants you to pay a tael of silver to the family every month in the future! What else do you say, to make you take on the responsibility of the firstborn......"

The corners of Cao's mouth couldn't hide a contemptuous smile, and when Li Huai saw it, his face suddenly sank: "You also refused to do this?" ”

Seeing that things were not developing in the direction he expected, Cao Shi suddenly panicked:

"How can that? You don't know our mother's temper yet? Her old man's eyes stood up, and my whole body trembled.

Even if you lend me a gut, I won't dare to blow up a thorn in front of our mother's eyes!

I didn't say anything here, so my mother turned around and left.

I don't even want to stay for lunch, I can't pull it! ”

Li Huai didn't say a word, and he didn't think about eating. hurriedly ran to the study to find the books used by himself and Li Xiwen.

Li Huai picked and picked a complete set of the Four Books and Five Classics in good condition, one by one neatly placed in a rattan bookcase, carried the bookcase, and limped out of the door.

Looking at Li Huai's hurried back, Cao Shi was suddenly in no mood to cry.

Seeing that Cao stopped crying, Lin gradually coaxed the child well.

When Li Ye, who was exhausted from crying, hoarse and fell asleep again, Lin came to serve Cao's face timidly.

The Cao family was a little disgusted with the Lin family's clumsiness.

But the Lin family is not very good at serving people, so he can't find anything wrong.

Li Ye still sticks to her all day long, except for scolding her for the daughter-in-law of the Lin family, there is nothing she can do to clean her up.

In addition, the Lin family is respectful to the Cao family on weekdays, and he is very eye-catching, if he can not shake in front of the Cao family, he will not shake in front of the Cao family, and most of the Cao's anger is directed at the subordinates, and he is often really angry with the Lin family.

Lin waited for Cao to wash his face, and then carefully drew his eyebrows and eyes again, and wiped rouge powder, Cao looked at himself in the bronze mirror, and gradually calmed down.

"It's time for this mirror to be sharpened." "Mother is right."

Cao's and Lin's ordered two bowls of noodles, and Cao's extra poached egg was laid.

Looking at the somen noodles in Lin's bowl, and then looking at the poached eggs and green vegetable leaves in his bowl, Cao finally showed a smiling face, and explained to Lin in a gentle tone:

"Stay at home and keep the door honestly. I'll go to the dental store, buy a cook and come back. ”

Lin nodded in response, and Cao changed into clothes for going out with satisfaction, staggered out the door, rented a sedan chair, and went to the teeth.

Respectfully sent Cao out of the door, and watched her get into the sedan chair and gradually move away, and the humble and shy smile on Lin's face disappeared.

She quickly cooked a green onion cake, steamed a bowl of meat custard, and fried shredded vegetables and pork, so she woke Li Ye up, hugged her in her arms, and fed Li Ye a bite from time to time while eating by herself.

Li Ye hasn't been weaned yet, and he can only watch the green onion cake and shredded vegetables and meat. Lin only fed him egg custard, and if he was fed a mouthful, he would eat a mouthful.

Swallowing it in a hurry, licking his mouth and wiping his tongue after eating, he continued to open his mouth wide to eat, just like a nestling in a bird's nest waiting for the big bird to feed at all times.

Lin was very happy, he fed him a bowl of egg custard, and he also finished eating green onion cakes and fried shredded pork with green vegetables, put all the used dishes, chopsticks, plates and dishes into the pot and soaked them in water, so he took Li Ye and asked him to try to take two steps to eliminate food.

After moving for a while, he put Li Ye to sleep again.

While Li Ye was asleep, Lin quickly washed the dishes and cleaned up the kitchen, and then sat down to take a breath and soaked himself in a little mint leaf water to drink.

She just put a small mint leaf just to taste it.

After all, I am still breastfeeding, I dare not drink alcohol, I dare not drink tea, and many foods are taboo.

In fact, this mint leaf is best not to eat.

But Lin really felt that there was no taste in his mouth, so he only put a small piece in the water and tasted it slightly.

A brief period of calm rest was quickly shattered.

Lin Shi heard the noise outside the door, and she jumped up as if she had been suddenly pierced by a needle hidden in the collapsed mat.

She gently sorted out the folds on her makeup and clothes in front of the bronze mirror, quickly changed into a shy and shy expression, and a little timid, turned around and took small steps, and ran to the door from a distance to greet her.

Sure enough, it was Cao Shi who came back.

Cao didn't come back alone. She also brought back a young daughter-in-law in her twenties.

This is the cook that Cao's bought back.

This cook has a dull face and mediocre facial features, no matter whether she is compared with the Cao family, the Lin family, or any other woman in the Lao Li family, her appearance is not outstanding. The body is also thin and weak, and the plate is shriveled.

However, it is said that her cooking skills are very good, and she makes good tea and rice.

And the work is very fast, and he doesn't like to talk, and his temperament is very quiet.

Cao Shi tasted her craftsmanship, and saw her unattractive appearance again, and felt quite satisfied. bargained with Renyazi for a long time, and finally paid twelve taels of silver and bought her.
