Chapter 31: To the Old Mansion

Getting up early in the morning, Li Miaomiao went to the town first. She felt that if she went back empty-handed, she might be scolded by them for being unfilial.

I first went to the market and bought five pounds of pork belly, and then went to the pastry shop to buy a few packs of cakes for gifts. remembered that his grandfather liked to drink, so he went to the restaurant to get a pot of old wine.

Back at home, Yanyan, who had already been arranged by her to go out to play, was honestly playing with her dolls on the kang.

"Why didn't Yeon-yeon go out to play?"

"I want to go with my sister", the little girl's expression was a little firm, and even her tone was less coquettish than before.

Li Miaomiao was puzzled, "Do you want to go back to the old house, my sister is just going to talk about something, and I'll be back soon, just wait at home."

"I don't want it, what should my sister do if they bully my sister by herself, I want to protect my sister".

The little girl's appearance of a hen protecting her cubs completely amused Li Miaomiao, stepped forward and gently touched the top of her hair and said, "Don't worry about sister, don't you know your sister's ability, no one can bully me"

But no matter how she persuaded her, the little girl made up her mind to follow her. Li Miaomiao couldn't, so she had to follow her wishes.

She thinks that girls should be pampered and grow up, those dirty things, dirty words, she doesn't want Yanyan to see and hear again.

But the little girl has lived in that environment since she was a child, and she can't remove the shadow in her heart, she feels Yanyan's uneasiness, so she agrees to her

Holding Yanyan and carrying gifts, she came to the old mansion with the impression in her mind. It is rare to see Li Dazhuang, who can only be seen when the farm is busy with festivals.

No matter what, Li Miaomiao felt that politeness could not be lost, so she took her sister forward to say hello.

"Uncle".

Li Dazhuang, who was sitting under the big tree in the courtyard and weaving baskets, quickly put down the work in his hand and stood up, "The two girls are here, come in", and greeted people in the courtyard as he spoke.

Seeing the courtyard, Li Miaomiao took a serious look at the old mansion, and it still looked very good. The blue brick house looks very magnificent, and I don't know which generation it is, who has been an official, passed on to future generations, and still has some family background.

The two large rooms in the main house are occupied by the old couple and her two aunts, but the aunts were married a few years ago, and now the house is filled with some household items that are not commonly used.

The two rooms in the west house are occupied by the uncle's family of five, and the east house is occupied by the second uncle's family of four. Although it doesn't occupy a long time, the two-bedroom house is much larger than the big one, and the eldest aunt has made trouble many times for this, but she can't, who made her second uncle a little thin in the town.

There is also a small room in the corner of the courtyard, which is now used as a utility room, and Li Miaomiao knows that such a small room used to be a place for their family of five.

There are also three pigs and more than 20 chickens in the backyard, and the family also has dozens of acres of land. The Li family is very good in the entire Li family village. But that's it, when they split the family, they let them go out of the house in three rooms, and they have to bear five taels of silver every year. Her father is really miserable, her mother, otherwise how could he agree to split up.

When she was in a trance, everyone in the house also came out, and it was her grandmother Yang who took the lead. She was followed by the eldest aunt Wang and her three children, cousin Li Cuntao, five-year-old Li Zhu and four-year-old Li Tong. On the other side are the second uncle, Yao, and her son Li Bai.

It looked like the battle was quite big, but she wasn't afraid, and she wasn't here to look for trouble, she was afraid of what they would do.

It's really worthy of three women in one play, and the calculating expressions on the faces of her grandmother and two aunts really can't be discovered.

As for the younger children, they all looked at the meat and pastries in her hands, but when they met her eyes, they were all afraid to dodge, it seemed that what he taught Li Bai was completely shocking to the children.

As for Li Cuntao, seeing her Li Miaomiao always had a feeling of being a good man, only fourteen years old, with a thick powder on her face, standing with a handkerchief twisted, she should want to learn from other people's ladies, but she didn't know how ridiculous her appearance was.

"Yo, look who is here, we don't have this relative", Yang opened his mouth to mock.

When Wang saw his mother-in-law speak, he naturally wanted to go up and add fuel and vinegar, "Yes, everyone has made a lot of money, and our poor relatives can't climb it, how powerful people are now, be careful not to put up with her, the elders dare to beat it."

Li Miaomiao didn't reply, she said that she should listen to the dog barking.

"Isn't it, we don't have this white-eyed wolf in our family. There are any ways to make money in other people's families, and they are all happy together as a family, how can it be like some people in our family, who are not allowed to enter the door of their own family, and they also unite with outsiders to bully their own people."

"Oh, my aunt wants to know how I make money."

Hearing her take the initiative, the Wang family was overjoyed, "If you are willing to hand over the recipe, then we will forget all the previous things, and we will still be a family." ”

Yao's self is not far behind, "Yes, Miao Miao, we are all a family, you take out the recipe, you are young, don't be deceived, we will take care of the insurance for you." You and your younger siblings should also move back home, and when the time comes, we will build you a big house to live in. When your second uncle comes back, let her help you in the town to help you talk about family affairs, and the family will definitely prepare a thick dowry for you at that time. ”

Hearing that she was going to prepare a dowry, the Wang family naturally did not follow, "My peach girl's dowry has not been settled, why should I prepare a dowry for her."

Yao's face is you a pig teammate looking at Wang.

Li Cuntao on the side looked at her indignantly, with an expression of really robbing her of her dowry.

Li Miaomiao had to admire the shallowness of the mother and daughter.

"Oh, the second aunt said that if the family has good things, they should share them with each other, right?" asked Li Miaomiao.

"Of course it is."

Li Miaomiao looked at Yao Shi and smiled, and she was furious in her heart when she smiled.

"Our family is going to build a few rooms, and the money in our hands is still a lot short, since we are all a family, help me with something."

"What kind of thing are you, why should you let the old lady give you money", Wang said angrily.

Yao felt like he had swallowed a fly, but he didn't expect Li Miaomiao's cheap hooves to be so cunning and gamble on her with words.

"Shut up for me", hearing the quarrel outside, Li Qingshan came out of the house,

This is also the reason why Li Miaomiao doesn't like him very much, although he has never treated them harshly, but he has never stopped other people's practices.

"What are you going to do?"

In addition to coldness, there is no daring in the tone.

"The family is ready to build a house, and it stands to reason that I should tell you grandpa, this is something to honor you," he said, handing over the things in his hand.

Yang quickly took it, but said ugly words, "Take these and call them flowers."

"If grandma doesn't like it, I'll take it back", Li Miaomiao said as if she wanted to grab it.

How could she get the things back in Yang's hands, I saw her turn around and hide the things in the house.

"The words are here, you guys go back", Li Qingshan began to drive people away.

"Then we'll go back, and I'll invite grandpa to drink again after I go to Liang", after saying that, she took Yanyan and left, she really didn't want to stay here for a moment.

Li Miaomiao is really curious, where does the old man's partiality come from, he is also a son, speaking of which, Li Sanzhuang is more obedient and capable than his two elder brothers, but he has not been liked by her grandmother since she was a child, and even more so after marrying her mother, so in the end it came to the point of separation.

I racked my brains and thought all the way, but I still had no clue, and there was no clue in the memory of the original body.

She didn't bother about this matter anymore, she called Uncle Dahai to go to Changlin's house to continue to discuss the matter of building a house.

"Miao Miao, did you tell your grandfather about building a house", Li Dahai asked.

"I've said it," Li Miaomiao replied nonchalantly.

Listening to her tone, both of them guessed that things might not be going well, and the two of them changed the topic with interest. The three of them discussed going to the town tomorrow to buy bricks and tiles and other materials needed to build a house, and after all the preparations were completed, they waited for the day after tomorrow to start work.

To take care of the lunch of more than a dozen workers, Li Miaomiao was a little worried that she couldn't keep up. Aunt Wang and the Changlin family both want to make dolls, but they can ask Aunt Zhang for help, but she always cares about her widowhood and doesn't want to appear in front of everyone, I don't know if she wants to help, Li Miaomiao decided to ask tomorrow.
