Chapter 62: The Family Affair Is Settled
"Raising a chicken when it's dark and you know how to go back to the nest, why did you go one by one?"
"If you don't go home all day, you know how to run out, and be careful of being bitten by a vixen one day!"
"Erniu! Where did you die? Why don't you come back for dinner yet! ”
There were bursts of scolding from the other side of the courtyard wall, and Yun Yao scratched her head in embarrassment, looking at Li Xin and Da Niu.
"Okay, it's late today, let's do it tomorrow." Li Xin was unhappy in his heart, but his face was not obvious, and he said to Da Niu again: "Don't go to the ground tomorrow, come over after dinner, and load the waterwheel early and give it a try." ”
"Okay." Da Niu glanced at Yun Yao apologetically, opened his mouth and didn't speak, lowered his head and followed Li Xin back, and Erniu also hurriedly picked up Chixin and followed.
Yun Yao looked at the things on the ground, only put the hammer and iron nails into the house, and let the rest be left like that. It's not a good thing, and I don't think anyone will come to fight bad ideas.
"What's the noise?" Li Xin's scolding came from there, followed by only Aunt Osmanthus muttering.
Yun Yao shook her head, unwilling to think about these things anymore. It's normal to intrude into other people's lives for no reason and be ostracized, right? I hope to go back soon, she misses her home and relatives so much.
This night, she looked up at the full moon in the wilderness and felt very lonely.
Yun Yao originally planned to go to the town to buy clothes the next day, but now in order to assemble the waterwheel as soon as possible, she had to delay it first. You can't leave Da Niu at home alone, she goes out to play by herself, right?
Although Er Niu was scolded by the old lady last night with a raft, he was a child, and he forgot about it when he got up early the next day. went to see the cow in the cowshed, he ate breakfast in three or two and then went to Yun Yao's side, and his heart was tightly held in his arms.
Seeing that the bear child was coming, Xueyin hurriedly ran back to the house and didn't come out, until the big cow also came to help make the waterwheel, and it couldn't help but come over curiously.
Yun Yao had been sitting in the courtyard for a while and reading the information, and when she saw the big cow coming, she hurriedly went over to say hello.
"Let's move on." Da Niu didn't say much, just picked up the tools and started working.
Yun Yao was helping to hand over the parts, and at the same time, she had to watch Erniu don't play with Chixin, she was really a little busy. Fortunately, the big cow couldn't stand it, so he directly ordered the second cow to go out to cut the grass, and the yard was quiet.
"Xueyin, let's go play in the open space over there with a red heart." Yun Yao shouted Xueyin, and saw the two small hair balls rolling away one after the other.
Da Niu glanced at Xueyin and praised: "This little fox is smart. Xue Yin raised her head proudly.
The two of them stepped up their work here, and suddenly there was a commotion in the east courtyard, and someone shouted at the door with a big voice, and then Aunt Osmanthus walked out. Yun Yao was here when she heard Aunt Osmanthus shouting happily: "Qiuyue, come in and sit." She couldn't help but turn her head to look at the big cow.
Da Niu Er listened to Qiu Yue's entanglement with him and ran to the house again, and the two thick eyebrows were already twisted.
"Would you like to go back and see?" Yun Yao asked quietly.
"No, no." Seeing her smile and not mind at all, Da Niu's heart was panicked, and he turned his head to ignore her.
"It's good not to go, that Qiuyue is not worthy of you at all." Yun Yao didn't understand Da Niu's mind at all, she just thought he was shy, so she casually commented, but it made Da Niu's heart even more chaotic.
Da Niu's heart was so messy, maybe he hit his finger with a hammer under his hand, but fortunately he found out in time that something was wrong and collected the force, so he didn't break his finger.
"Oops!" Seeing him holding his hands, Yun Yao was startled, and hurriedly pulled his fingers to look, seeing that the fingers were red, I am afraid that they will soon be swollen.
"Why are you so careless, don't do it, take a break." Yun Yao pulled him to the side and sat down, went into the kitchen by himself, took a piece of ice from the refrigerator, wrapped it in his handkerchief, and took it back to make a cold compress for Da Niu.
"It's okay, it doesn't hurt." Da Niu held her handkerchief and covered her hands, feeling cold and comfortable, until her heart was comfortable, and her fingers did not hurt anymore.
"If it doesn't hurt, I'll rest for a while, and I'll do the rest."
The big cow knocked his hand, and Yun Yao didn't dare to take the hammer, only did some small parts of the splicing, hanging his head and looking very serious.
Da Niu sat on the stool, and seeing that she was only focused on the waterwheel, he couldn't help but take a few more looks.
Xiaoyun, where are you from? Where are you going? Can I really stay with you all the time?
Da Niu's hand stopped hurting after a while, and the two cooperated with a fast speed. Yun Yao took a moment in the middle and pretended to go into the kitchen to cook, but in fact, she went back to the rental house.
Da Niu eats less in the morning, and is busy this morning, so she should invite her to dinner at noon.
Afraid of Da Niu's suspicion, she didn't dare to stay in the rental house for long, just took a roll of fine noodles, got some greens, tomatoes and eggs, and hurried out.
At noon, Yun Yao boiled the water, put the noodles, vegetables and tomatoes in it, beat three eggs, and after the water boiled, you can eat it after raising it.
Whether the noodles are good or not is all in the soup, Yun Yao put oil, salt, sauce and vinegar in two large bowls, and put a little chopped green onion, and washed it with boiling water, and the fragrance immediately wafted out of the kitchen.
Before the big cow could react, Xueyin ran in with a red heart first.
"Master, we're going to eat noodles too." Yukion hugged her leg and drooled over the noodles.
Yun Yao had no choice but to take a small bowl and pull out some from her bowl: "Don't you love chicken the most?" Why are you interested in the other side? ”
"I said that she is a cute girl, and she can't eat chicken all the time, so she has to eat something else, right?" Xueyin pounced and ate most of it first, before giving the rest to Chixin, "You can eat some too." ”
Chixin has never eaten anything other than dog food, but she licks it with relish.
"Come, rest for a while, eat first." Yun Yao brought two bowls of noodles into the hall, and moved a stool with Da Niu to sit opposite each other and eat noodles.
The big cow snorted and ate the noodles as he said, "There will be another hour to make it." ”
"Okay, let's make it together after eating." Yun Yao happily looked at the waterwheel in the courtyard that had been roughly formed, and hurriedly sped up the speed of eating noodles.
After eating, the two were collecting the bowls, when they heard the east courtyard bustling again.
"Qiuyue, you go back first, and I'll talk to your aunt for a while. I'll play again tomorrow. This is Aunt Osmanthus's voice.
Then I heard Qiu Yue say: "Hey, auntie, then I'll leave first, I'll go to the field and help do something, so I won't bother the two of you." ”
"Okay, you're done and go back early." The stone family didn't follow, and went back to the house with Aunt Osmanthus talking and laughing.
Yun Yao turned his head to look at Da Niu, and saw that his face sank again, his hands clenched his fists, and his steps moved, as if he couldn't help but go that way.
"Hey, don't go over." Yun Yao hurriedly pulled him.
Da Niu stopped to look at her and frowned: "Why?" ”
Yun Yao couldn't say that you might be entangled this time, so no one would help me make a waterwheel, so I had to persuade: "What are you talking about with a few women?" Let's get down to business. ”
is the same woman, why is the gap so big? Da Niu glanced at Yun Yao, and sure enough, he stopped and went back to make a waterwheel.
In the east courtyard across the wall, Aunt Osmanthus and the Shi family sent Qiuyue away, and the two gradually got down to business.
Aunt Osmanthus had a little spare money in her hand, Yun Yao gave it, Da Niu gave it, and Li Xin also gave her some, which added up to a lot, but she was reluctant to spend it.
She only pulled the stone family into her room, and took out the silver-red satin that was woven with twigs and peonies.
It was given by Yun Yao, although she knew that it was good, but she didn't know how much silver it was worth. Anyway, she didn't like Yun Yao, and she didn't even like what she sent. It's better to take it to Qiuyue, and the two of them will be decided.
"You take this back and make a dress for Qiuyue to wear, which is a welcome gift from my future mother-in-law. Let's talk about it first, and when the autumn harvest is over, I'll go to your house to hire. ”
"Oh, such a good satin, Qiuyue, this child will be happy in the future!" The stone family was busy holding the satin in their hands, afraid that their hands would be thick, and they were not even willing to touch it.
Aunt Osmanthus looked at her appearance that she had never seen the world, and suddenly a strong sense of superiority rose.
"Well, the conditions of our family are the best in the village. Our big cow is in good health and capable, and no girl from any family will suffer with him. ”
The two muttered for a while, and the stone family hurriedly hugged the satin and said goodbye and went back. She had to hurry up and tell Qiu Yue the good news.
The two elders have already made up their minds, and the niece can rest assured now.
Qiu Yue was sent home by them, and really went to the field to help with farm work for a while. She searched for a long time on the ground, but she didn't see the shadow of the big cow, so she had to go home after a perfunctory while.
"Qiuyue, go and wash your hands, Auntie will show you something good." The stone family waited for a long time, and when they saw her back, they hurriedly called her into the house and took out the silver and red satin.
"Look, what is this!"
As soon as Qiu Yue saw this satin, she immediately hugged it with both hands and touched it happily.
"Where did it come from?"
Her aunt smiled and poked the corner of her forehead, and said with a smile: "Your future mother-in-law gave it to you to take it to make clothes." ”
Hearing her say her mother-in-law, Qiu Yue suddenly laughed happily: "Da Niu's mother gave it?" For me? Auntie, tell me about it. ”
I heard that the two families have already agreed that they will be officially hired after the autumn harvest, and Qiuyue is finally satisfied.
Hmph, little vixen, you're going to lose now!
She happily hugged the stone family, and then took the satin back to the room to tailor herself. "Auntie, thank you, I will definitely honor you with Brother Da Niu!"
"This child, the ...... in a hurry" The stone family was happy to see her, and he smiled with satisfaction.
Da Niu and Yun Yao didn't know what was going on over there at all, it took a long time for the two of them to install the waterwheel according to the drawings, and Aunt Osmanthus was already over there scolding Sang Huaidi and scolding Er Niu for not doing work when he ate, and his voice gradually became louder.
It turns out that although there are not many remaining parts, it is very cumbersome to install, and it is necessary to combine properly with the original bracket keel, and it is not bad at all, and it is very time-consuming to install.
Da Niu listened to the more the old lady over there said, the more unseemly it became, and he couldn't help but glance at Yun Yao apologetically.
"My mother is that temper, don't you mind ......"
