Chapter Thirty-Eight: My Cousin's Intention
After buying the land, Han Xiao gave Yueyang some advice, stayed in Gyeongju for a few more days and went back.
A few months passed in a flash, more and more people were looking for Han Xiao to buy sleeve covers and pastries, Yue Yang's career also began to improve, a few days after Han Xiao came back, she found a few people and taught them to make pastries, the second sister's apprenticeship in the tailor shop was also over, and the eighth sister can now read a whole simple book.
Everything is starting to go in a good direction.
This morning, as soon as Han Xiao came back from the town, he saw two young men standing in front of his house, one wearing a striped shirt and the other wearing a blue shirt, and the two of them saw Han Xiao come back with a smile on their faces.
"Xiaoxiao, I haven't seen you for a long time, did you miss us." The man in the striped shirt came up with a hug, and he hadn't seen him for more than half a year since he saw Han Xiao last time.
Ah, I don't recognize who they are, wait, it looks like two cousins.
Han Xiao hugged back a little, and said with a smile: "Hello cousin, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
Han Xiao invited the two cousins into the house, poured water for them, and brought them a plate of pastries, and then said, "Why did the cousin come over, did the eldest uncle and the second uncle let you come over?" ”
Han Buge and Han Buzhi glanced at each other, and Han Buge said: "Xiaoxiao, we came here secretly to remind you, it will be your grandmother's birthday in a few days, I'm afraid that you won't have money to buy gifts for your grandmother, we will take out the money we usually save for you, and you can use it to buy things for your grandmother." ”
Han Buge and Han Buzhi were locked in the house by their parents to study all day, not letting them go out to play, today it was when they both went to the town that the two brothers found an opportunity to find Han Xiao, they didn't know what happened during this time, and their parents never talked about these things at home, and many things were only known after listening to others after a long time.
Han Xiao was moved in his heart, under the patriarchal behavior of his grandparents, he was not affected.
"No, no, I have money, you can keep the money for yourself." Han Xiao waved his hand.
The two brothers thought that Han Xiao was deliberately shirking for the sake of face, so they stopped mentioning this matter and asked about other things, "Cousin, why didn't you see Yue Yang." ”
The relationship between the two brothers and Yue Yang is not bad, and they don't have any opinions about him.
"Yue Yang, I let him go out to work, so as not to have nothing to do at home." Han smiled shyly.
"Cousin, your pastry is so delicious, where did you buy it, I'll buy some later." You also taste it. After Han Buge ate a piece of pastry, he picked up another piece, stuffed it into his mouth, picked up another piece and handed it to Han Buzhi.
Han Xiao only then could tell who was who, Han Buzhi was wearing stripes, and Han Buge was blue.
Han Buzhi took a bite of Han Buge's hand, and ate it until it was soft and glutinous in his mouth, so delicious that it made people want to swallow their tongues.
"Well, it's really delicious, where did you buy it, I'll buy this one in the future." The two looked at Han Xiao blankly.
"I didn't buy it, I made it myself." Han Xiao covered her mouth and snickered, she didn't know how long it had been since she felt the ease of being with her family.
"What, make it yourself, smile and be honest, is it fun for your brother, you can make pastries, we never know, you can't even cook well." The faces of the two brothers were filled with disbelief.
"Really, I didn't lie to you, you don't believe it, I'll show you in person now." Han Xiao shrugged helplessly.
"Okay, let's see my cousin's craft."
"Cousin, you wait a while, you'll be fine soon."
In front of Han Xiao, the two brothers were embarrassed to say directly, Han Buzhi stabbed Han Buge, and said with some hesitation: "Cousin, can she do it?" She shouldn't go to the street to buy it and steam it, lie to us and say she did it. ”
Han Buge thought for a while and nodded, "It's not impossible, let's go and see, if it's the same as we think, we'll pretend not to know." ”
"Okay, that's what you say."
The two quietly slipped into the kitchen, there were several people in the kitchen, Han Xiao was mixing the ingredients of the pastry, his movements were crisp and neat, at first glance, practice makes perfect, several other people were watching Han Xiao do it, and Han Xiao also explained a few words from time to time.
A few people in the room listened carefully, and the two people outside listened confusedly, they didn't understand what Han Xiao was saying, and the pastry was ready after a while.
Han Buzhi went to the house with Han Buzhi, and the two pretended to be chatting, waiting for Han to laugh.
A plate of steaming pastries was brought to the table by Han Xiao, "Come, you taste it, it's a little hot, be careful when you eat." ”
The two picked up a piece, and when the pastry was a little colder, they couldn't wait to put it in their mouths and taste it, it was exactly the same as the taste just now, and the two believed that Han Xiao would make pastries.
"It's delicious, my cousin is amazing." Han Buge praised Han Xiao, with a proud look on his face.
"Hmm. Well. Han Buzhi nodded frantically in agreement.
"It's delicious, I'll take it home later, and there's a lot more." Han looked at them with a smile.
The two brothers stayed at Han's house for a while, brought some pastries back after lunch, and kept the ten yuan they brought before leaving. Half an hour had passed when Han Xiao found out, and she couldn't catch up if she wanted to, and she didn't know where they lived, so she had to put it away and return it to her grandmother when she celebrated her birthday.
Han Xiao didn't know when her grandmother's birthday was, so she had to find a reason to ask Li Cuihua, and found that there were only three days left before her grandmother's birthday.
Three days passed quickly, and Han Xiao asked the second and third sisters to ask for leave, change their clothes, and go to celebrate her grandmother's birthday.
Because of the large number of people in the family, my grandmother only called the family together to save money, and another reason was for her two sons.
"Grandmother, this is a gift for you, I don't know what you like, don't dislike it." The Han sisters stood in a row, facing their grandmother, and said obediently.
The grandmother glanced at it lightly, took it and put it aside, didn't ask what the gift was, nodded expressionlessly, and walked around the Han sisters to the place where the two sons were.
"Sister, grandmother, she..."The eighth sister took Han Xiao's hand and whispered, she was a little afraid of her grandmother and didn't dare to say it too loudly.
"It's okay, don't care, you remember that she is an elder, and we have to respect her." Han Xiao rubbed the eighth sister's head and said softly.
"Well, it's all up to my sister." The eighth sister took Han Xiao's hand, raised her head and smiled at Han Xiao.
Fortunately, she came and changed the current life of the Han family, Han Xiao thought.
"Oops, the smile is coming." After Han Tangyi talked to his grandmother for a while, he saw Han Xiao calling her.
"Who's that?" Han Xiao approached the second sister, pointed at Han Tangyi and asked quietly.
"Big sister, that's the third uncle, don't you remember the big sister?" Han Ermei was a little puzzled.
"Isn't it a long time since I've seen it, I don't remember it very clearly." Han Xiao scratched his head and said a little uncomfortably.
Han Ermei was puzzled and wanted to ask something, so Han Buge and Han Buzhi came over.
"Cousin." The sisters of the Han family all liked these two cousins, and they were very surprised to see them coming.
The meal started without saying a few words, and it was divided into two tables, Han Xiao sat at one table with her grandmother and uncle, and the rest of her sister and cousin sat at one table.
"Laugh, grandmother has something to tell you." Halfway through eating, my grandmother put down the dishes and chopsticks in her hand and said in a commanding tone.
"Grandmother, you say." Han Xiao swallowed the food in his mouth and replied.
"Ahem, I've discussed it with your two uncles and aunts, let them do it for you, and you can give them fifty wages a month." Grandmother said politely.
Han Xiao looked in the direction of her grandmother, sitting next to the second uncle, with a loyal face, this should be the second aunt, the rest of the face is a little mean, it doesn't look like a good person, Han Xiao thought to herself.
"Grandmother, I've already found a lot of people, and I don't need a helper for the time being." Han Xiao refused, what she said was the truth, it was enough to make sleeves with Li Cuihua and Xiulian, but it took her a lot of time to find a few that she liked, not to mention that she had been teaching for so long, and she had feelings for them.
"Wouldn't it be nice to dismiss a few people, it's better to give money to outsiders than to give it to your own family." Han Tangyi glanced at Han Xiao and said disdainfully.
"Uncle San, it's not right for you to say that, but I have been looking for many months to find someone who agrees, is willing to endure hardships, and is obedient." Han Xiao said expressionlessly.
"What are you talking about, disgusted with your two aunts, why can't they endure hardship, why are they obedient?" Grandmother listened with a raised eyebrow.
"No, that's not what I mean, I'm afraid that the two aunts won't be able to bear this suffering." Han Xiao said helplessly that she really felt that the two aunts were not suitable for it, and she didn't want her relatives to take advantage of her hard-earned work.
"As long as you say yes, they'll have no problem." Grandmother was tough.
The two aunts lowered their heads silently after hearing this, they know what they are like themselves, they don't work if they can work at home, and now it's too embarrassing for them to let them suffer, they would rather be idle, if it weren't for their mother-in-law looking at them unpleasantly, and their men standing on the same line with their mother-in-law, they wouldn't sit here honestly and beg Han Xiao to find them a job to do.
"That's it, Xiaoxiao, your aunts are idle at home, you just let them go to you, your two cousins are now grown up, and they can take care of themselves, so they don't need to take care of them." Han Tangzheng glanced at his wife and said.
"Second uncle, it's not that I don't want to, it's that I really don't lack manpower here." Han Xiao frowned, she didn't like the taste of being forced, if her grandmother told her well, she might agree, and she would be very uncomfortable with a forced scene.
When her grandmother saw that Han Xiao didn't agree, she came up with a way to force Han Xiao to agree.
