Chapter 158: What is answered is not what is asked

Dong Yun'er couldn't put it down and touched the hibiscus flower in her hand, raised her eyes and glanced at Xue'er deeply: "Thank you Xue'er, when I have time, I will embroider a few handkerchiefs for my sister in return."

Xue'er waved her hand: "No need to thank you, we are all sisters." When our family was in difficulty, the uncle and the third uncle helped a few times, but it was just a little gadget, and the eldest sister liked it. ”

When I arrived in Sanjiagou, I went door-to-door to pay New Year's greetings as in previous years.

The three concubines of the Dong family came back early to cook, and several children sat on the kang to play with their sister-in-law Dong Changchun.

Xue'er looked at her younger brother and spoke to Dong Changchun: "What is my sister-in-law's birthday?"

Dong Changchun smiled and asked, "Why did you think to ask this question?"

"Isn't it sister-in-law and Lu this year? Xue'er wants to prepare a gift for my sister-in-law in advance, otherwise my sister-in-law won't like me so much!" Cher quipped.

"Yes, yes, if you don't give me a big gift, I won't like you in the future!" Dong Changchun replied angrily.

Speaking of which, Xue'er really doesn't know the birthdays of these uncles and aunts, only that Dong Changchun is the birthday of spring.

"My sister-in-law is born in March, and Xue'er has time to prepare gifts." Dong Yun'er grew up with her sister-in-law, and she knew her birthday, so she answered.

Xue'er took out a pair of roses and gave them to Dong Changchun: "Sister-in-law gave this to you, I was going to wait for my sister-in-law to give it to you when I was in tune, so I will bribe it in advance, otherwise I'm afraid that my sister-in-law will ignore me!"

"Wow, that's beautiful!" Dong Changchun took the two hairpins and sighed.

"Xue'er made it herself, and she gave me a pair of hibiscus flowers." Dong Yun'er explained for Xue'er.

She is in a good mood today, and she talks a little more, especially when she returns to Sanjiagou, she feels a lot more kind, after all, it is the place where she lived when she was a child.

"Thank you Xue'er, my sister-in-law likes it very much!" Dong Changchun now likes his niece more and more, and only hates why he didn't take much care of her in the first place.

With the passage of time, Dong Changchun sensitively discovered that Xue'er was different, especially in the last two years, this child has changed too much, and he is no longer the pitiful little when he first met.

People have also grown taller and plump, and they have become more and more beautiful, and there is a faint sense of dust on their bodies. Just like the green lotus in the water, the sharp corners are revealed, which makes people reverie and cannot be ignored.

Sometimes it's like a clear spring in the mountains, clean and thorough, but you can't see it at a glance.

"By the way, Xue'er, have you sold all the potatoes and sweet potatoes produced in your wasteland?" Dong Changchun pretended to ask casually.

Xue'er's eyes flashed and she replied with a smile: "It was pulled away by the government, and there is only enough left for planting next year."

"The government doesn't have an explanation?" Dong Changchun said curiously.

"Next year, it will be promoted in a large area in Changhai County, and Xue'er doesn't know the specific regulations." Cher's answer is not what she asked.

Dong Changchun saw that Xue'er deliberately pushed and asked again.

"I heard my father say that he will give some to his grandfather next year, as well as the uncle and the third uncle, and if the Dong family's relatives want to plant, he will also help." Cher added.

Xue'er knew what Dong Changchun was going to ask, although she didn't know how much silver Dong Changhe had sold, but she guessed about it, didn't she see how happy his cheap father and mother were recently?

The husband and wife, who have always been stingy, have given so many benefits to the people in the family for the first time, and even her daughter has been stained, and Dong Changhe also gave her a private house of five hundred taels behind the back of the Yun family.

Dong Changhe is very good at buying people's hearts, not only does he speak beautifully, but he also does things unambiguously, and the "fool" of the Yun family completely believes him.

"It seems that these potatoes and sweet potatoes are very profitable!" Dong Changchun tried again.

"I don't know if I earn Xue'er or not, because my father and mother will never tell Xue'er how much money there is in the family." Cher gave a clear answer and didn't want to talk about the topic again.

"Your grandmother told me, she said that Feng County Ling attaches so much importance to it, and she also sent officials to live in your house, which means that this crop is definitely not ordinary." Dong Changchun naturally threw the pot to his own mother, not wanting to hurt his friendship with Xue'er.

Xue'er understood: "Feng Xianling attaches importance to this crop not because they make money, but because of their high yield. You must know that one acre of land can produce 2,000 catties!"

"Cher has a point." Dong Changchun decisively changed the topic: "Xue'er, Ze'er is already four years old, and the second brother at home enlightened him, right?"

Dong Changchun is in time for this year, as a woman, she understands that whether she can find a good in-law in the future is related to the strength of her mother's family, and the strength of her mother's family depends on a few brothers.

His own father can only stop and show off his talent for the rest of his life, and his uncle can't count on it, because it's good if he doesn't sell himself.

If her brothers are capable, and her nephews can get ahead, then she will not be despised in her in-laws' family.

Dong Chengyi is now a showman, Cheng Qiong followed the third brother to enlightenment at the age of three, Ze'er is already four years old, it is time for enlightenment.

"Ze'er followed me to enlightenment, and the two of us studied together and made progress together." Cher didn't care.

"That's good, our Dong family will only have your fourth uncle still studying, and the three nephews will also be able to gain fame in the future." Dong Changchun sees things in the long run, if she is a man, it is estimated that she will be the most promising one in the Dong family.

Dong Xiucai's study was sitting with four brothers at this time.

After Dong Changhe's brothers came back from the New Year's greetings, he called the brothers and their father to the study.

After closing the door, he spoke: "Dad, I have been busy for two years and finally have come to fruition." Today I wanted to speak to you, but today's words have gone out of my mouth and into your ears.

If you tell anyone else what I've said, then father, son and brother won't have to do it!"

"Second brother, why is this so serious?" Dong Xiucai realized that his son's words were indeed serious, and said with a calm face.

"Dad, you'll know after I hear it."

"Well, as a father, let's hear what the hell is going on!"

"Dad knew that Xue'er found two crops in the mountains, potatoes and sweet potatoes, with a yield of up to 2,000 catties per mu."

"This is known to my father, it turned out that the snow girl found it!" Dong Xiucai was stunned.

Dong Changhe nodded and continued: "Dad knows that there is a distinguished guest at home in the spring, and that little boy is not the son of Lord Cao's friend, but His Royal Highness the current Youwang!"

"What? His Royal Highness!" Dong Changhu's mouth opened wide in shock.

The other brothers were no better, and they all looked incredulous.

Only Dong Xiucai had a clear expression: "I guessed eight or nine for my father." That's why my father has hardly been to you for the past year. ”
