After returning home, Chen Xiaoshu saw red beans in the kitchen, and suddenly wanted to eat red bean rolls.

"Sister-in-law Zhang, you come to light the fire, let's make some red bean rolls." Chen Xiaoshu said.

Sister-in-law Zhang agreed, and the two worked together for a long time to make the red bean rolls, Chen Xiaoshu picked one up and put it in his mouth, it was really sweet and delicious.

Chen Xiaoshu ate and remembered Sheng Min's on the other side, so he said: "Sister-in-law Zhang, you put some red bean rolls in the food box, I will send them to the Sheng family lady opposite while it is hot, you can clean the kitchen and go home, you can also bring some red bean rolls back." ”

"Hey." Sister-in-law Zhang was happy when she heard this, and sometimes she was embarrassed to say: "How can this be embarrassing? This red bean roll is a good thing, so you should keep it for yourself and eat it. ”

Chen Xiaoshu rolled a red bean on his side and said: "It's okay, I made a little too much today, this thing won't taste good if it is left for a long time, and besides, sister-in-law Zhang, you are serious in your work, I am very satisfied, so I will treat it as a reward I give you." ”

Chen Xiaoshu said and took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, lifted the food box and said, "I'll go to the Sheng family opposite." ”

"Alas, thank you, thank you, lady."

Sister-in-law Zhang said again and again in the back, thinking that if she took the red bean rolls home for her little grandson to eat, the little grandson must be very happy.

Chen Xiaoshu went out with the food box, and saw one or two donkey carts parked on the left side of his house, after the car stopped, the coachman put the stool on the ground, and out of the car came a young woman of about twenty-five or sixteen years old, with a round face, very blessed, although not full of pearls, but a very gorgeous dress, wearing a satin cape, stepping on a pair of deerskin boots, the door of her house opened, and a woman in coarse clothes came out, busy supporting the young woman.

"The lady is back." The woman said.

However, the hostess of this house did not answer, but put her eyes on Chen Xiaoshu's body, looked Chen Xiaoshu up and down almost unabashedly, and then snorted disdainfully: "Why can any cat and dog live in Gonghe Lane now, and I don't know who Master Ji sold the house to before?" ”

Chen Xiaoshu "·······"

Eldest sister, I don't know you, and I haven't offended you, as for it?

And because Chen Xiaoshu was in the kitchen just now, he wore comfortable old clothes, saying that they were old, but they were also six or seven new muslin clothes, although they were not gorgeous, but they were definitely not chilling, how could they be said to be cats and dogs.

Besides, what's wrong with Gonghe Lane, Gonghe Lane is just a mid-to-high-end community close to key schools in the future, and it can't be a luxury house, so why is it not worthy?

Without waiting for Chen Xiaoshu to say a few words to him, she went home, and Chen Xiaoshu couldn't chase people to other people's homes to scold people, so she had to endure it, told herself not to worry about dogs, and then knocked on the door of the Sheng family.

Sheng Min opened the door and saw that it was Chen Xiaoshu, and smiled on his face: "Why is Mrs. Chen here, please come in." ”

"Hello Mrs. Sheng, this is the red bean roll I just made with my mother-in-law at home, I thought I met with Mrs. Sheng yesterday, so I will make up for you as a meeting gift, and I hope Mrs. Sheng will not dislike it."

Chen Xiaoshu said while holding the food box.

Sheng Niangzi didn't shirk when she heard this, took the food box and said: "Don't dislike it, how can you dislike it, Chen Niangzi is really a good craft, and the aroma wafts out through the food box." ”

"Mother." While the two were talking, a little girl with a little tucking ran over and hugged Sheng Min's thigh, and shouted out to her mother in a milky voice.

Chen Xiaoshu looked down, this little girl was only two or three years old, she looked pink and pink, and coupled with her fawn-like eyes, Chen Xiaoshu's heart was suddenly cute.

"Sheng Niangzi, this is Ling Ai?"

Chen Xiaoshu bent down and touched the little girl's face, and said with a look of pity.

Sheng Min nodded, and said with tenderness in his eyes: "Exactly, this is my little daughter, Rong'er." ”

Saying that, Sheng Min seemed to suddenly remember something, and said: "Look at me, I forgot to let you in, Mrs. Chen, please come in." ”

Chen Xiaoshu thought that he would not die when he brought it back, so he nodded and followed Sheng Min into the Sheng Mansion.

The general layout of the Sheng house is similar to that of Chen Xiaoshu's house, both front and back, but Chen Xiaoshu took a closer look after coming in and found that the Sheng family was smaller than his own.

"Lady, I was cooking in the kitchen just now, and I didn't look at Miss for a while."

At this moment, a slender mother-in-law walked out and said anxiously.

When Sheng Min heard this, his face sank slightly and said, "You have to be more careful in the future, now that the young lady has learned to walk, what if you tell her to run out of the door." ”

The woman looked flustered when she heard this, and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, yes, I must be careful next time, lady." ”

Sheng Min heard this and said, "That's it, you go to the kitchen to cook first." ”

When the mother-in-law heard this, she was pardoned and hurried back to the kitchen, and Sheng Min turned her head to Chen Xiaoshu and said: "Let you see the joke, this mother-in-law is my family's rough mother-in-law, sometimes the work at home is really too busy, so I hired such one, but you can also see, sometimes he really can't let me relax." ”

Sheng Min sighed and shook his head when he heard this.

Chen Xiaoshu didn't comment too much, after all, this is someone's family matter, and for Sheng Min's family, the mother-in-law didn't even look at the child, in case the child is really lost, it really wants to rip off the flesh of other people's hearts.

In fact, hiring a mother-in-law to work at home is said to be the norm in the market of the Great Xia Dynasty, and generally people with a good family background will hire one or two rough mothers-in-law to help, so that the hostess can be liberated from heavy housework and only do some light work such as needlework.

Gonghe Lane is a typical example, and Chen Xiaoshu knows that most of the people in this alley employ one or two mothers-in-law.

While the two were talking, there was a baby's cry in the house, and Sheng Min hurriedly entered.

Chen Xiaoshu saw that she was really busy, so she said: "Mrs. Sheng, then I'll go back first, anyway, we are so close, we are not in a hurry to get along at this time." ”

Sheng Min's face was relaxed when he heard this, and he said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, I didn't entertain Mrs. Chen well today, and I will invite Mrs. Chen to my house again in the future." ”

After Chen Xiaoshu got home, he took out some snacks from the space and accompanied the red bean rolls for dinner.

After eating, Chen Xiaoshu took a book from the study and entered the bedroom.

Chen Xiaoshu's bedroom is in the main room in the backyard, the area of the third room is very large, the real bedroom is set up by Chen Xiaoshu in the easternmost part, the middle is considered a reception room, as for the west one, it is Chen Xiaoshu's cloakroom and warehouse.

Chen Xiaoshu's book is a travelogue, telling the story of the author's wandering away from the entire Great Xia Dynasty, Chen Xiaoshu looked at the customs and customs of various places, and felt very interesting, unconsciously, Chen Xiaoshu fell asleep.
