074 Mischief
"Let's try it first, or according to the original plan, this kind of thing can't be rushed." After observing a circle, Qu Xiaoqi left here.
Now that she is back, Aunt Caifeng doesn't have to come over from time to time to stay with Zeng Miaoya in her room.
I haven't seen him for a few months, Tuan Tuan has grown a lot now, and when he saw Qu Xiaoqi, he threw himself desperately on Qu Xiaoqi, as if he hadn't forgotten his owner.
Those chickens were also raised very well by Zeng Miaoya, and now they have accumulated a basket of eggs.
Now the carriage is still on Aunt Caifeng's side, and there is not such a big place for the carriage in her own yard.
The marinade I made before I left is almost now used, and I have to make some more, so I happened to go to the city to buy some things that I needed.
It's obviously a lot more leisurely than before.,Overall, it's quite fulfilling.。
What Qu Xiaoqi didn't expect was that Zeng Miaoya was so stubborn, and during this time, she really followed the embroidery girl in the village to learn embroidery and clothing, and now she has become a little smaller.
Even Aunt Caifeng sighed that Zeng Miaoya was diligent and intelligent, not to mention clothes, even shoes can be accepted.
I think it's because I watched myself being pricked frequently when I made clothes before, so I took advantage of the time to learn the method of making clothes, and my heart was filled with warm currents, and she now saw Zeng Miaoya more intimate than her own sister.
Qu Xiaoqi came back to make Zeng Miaoya very happy, although the food made by Aunt Caifeng was not unpalatable, there was still no Qu Xiaoqi who would eat it.
Especially when he came back this time, Qu Xiaoqi brought back a lot of Qingguo's specialty sauce, and the dishes he made tasted even more delicious.
also brought back a lot of cotton, and gave more than half of it to Aunt Caifeng, leaving her to make new clothes or a new quilt.
In order to bring more back, the cotton was pressed to death by Qu Xiaoqi, but fortunately, Aunt Caifeng knew how to play the cotton, which was enough to make seven or eight quilts.
Originally, Aunt Caifeng didn't want to accept such a valuable thing, Qu Xiaoqi said that cotton was very cheap in Qingguo, so she reluctantly put cotton into the house.
When Qu Xiaoqi took out the silver hairpin, she was stunned, the decoration on the silver hairpin was real gold, and this thing was very valuable.
Seeing that Qu Xiaoqi wanted to give herself and Zeng Miaoya one each, Aunt Caifeng didn't know what to say, this is too loser, this is made of silver!
Seeing Aunt Caifeng's expression, Qu Xiaoqi said: "This is the New Year soon, it can be regarded as a red envelope for your hard work this year, and it will be made into something else like silver, and it will be given to you." ”
Although it is you, in fact, it is to let Aunt Caifeng see the point, after all, Zeng Miaoya is a young new type after all, even if she knows that this object is valuable, she is happy to accept it in her heart, but she just thinks that she will have to work harder to help Qu Xiaoqi in the future.
"Even if you want to give me a red envelope, it's not just you who give me the bag, it should be me, the elder, for you, I'm ready here, how can I accept your things."
I didn't know what Qu Xiaoqi said about this rhetoric, so I had to stuff the silver hairpin into Aunt Caifeng's arms, and said with a serious face: "Auntie, I don't care, this is my filial piety to you." You are the best for me, and I have the silver in my hand, so I naturally want to buy you a gift. ”
"You kid ......" Aunt Caifeng was a little moved, and after thinking about it, she accepted the hairpin, thinking that she would definitely give Qu Xiaoqi more silver to make a red envelope in the future.
Time flies, and it is almost Chinese New Year's Eve, and even small villages like Linxi Village have a little New Year's atmosphere.
This year, there are a lot of people who buy red lanterns at home, because Qu Xiaoqi's construction of the pig cage has indeed made most of the people in the village save some money.
Some of the children in the village are playing back and forth in the village with rock sugar gourds that are difficult to eat in previous years, and they are all dressed in brightly colored clothes, looking so festive.
The clothes on their bodies are still the ones that the eldest children in the family can't wear, and they are dismantled and remade by their own ingenious mothers, and the difference is that they are much thicker, and there is more cotton than in previous years.
After Aunt Caifeng played the cotton, she realized that there was too much, and there was not so much cloth at home, and she really didn't need so many quilts, so she gave the extra cotton to the people in the village cheaply.
This exchange is to exchange the food at home for cotton, and the amount of cotton is determined by the amount of food.
The cotton was divided in one day, and by the time the rest of the people knew the news, it was too late.
They also knew that it was Qu Xiaoqi who brought back the cotton from outside, but they didn't expect Qu Xiaoqi to be able to afford a carriage for two months after leaving, and for a while, a lot of sour voices spread from some people's mouths, including Qu Xiaoqi's aunt's house.
The people from the aunt's maiden family now come to the aunt's place, saying that they are coming to see the aunt, but in fact, they are just coming to see if they can get any benefits from the aunt's side.
"Yo, Haruzhi, why are you wearing the same clothes as last year? Didn't refill some cotton or anything? "The person who spoke was one of the eldest aunt's concubines, and he couldn't say that he had a good relationship, he looked snarky, and he usually didn't look down on his aunt, so he would have to sneer at the opportunity.
The eldest aunt's real name is Deng Chunzhi, which Qu Xiaoqi only knew after that.
The eldest aunt's face was blue and white for a while by this girl's yin and yang strange tone, and she didn't sink down, barely squeezed out a smile, and said: "What did you say, what was it like last year, what is it like this year." I'm so old, so naturally I spend copper money on my children, and my family is fighting for energy, and I will definitely be able to take the exam next year before I come back. Unlike you, there are no worries, and the family is a girl who doesn't need to worry about it, so she sticks more stickers to herself, in case she renews the incense to your family next year, isn't it? ”
This is really the pain of grasping people, Qu Rui looked at the painting-like color on this relative's face on the side, and felt relieved.
After his mother was angry with Qu Xiaoqi a few times, her brain was bright, and this time the bickering was much better than being led by the nose before, and she actually felt a sense of awe for Qu Xiaoqi in her heart.
"I borrowed my sister's auspicious words, my sister hasn't returned home for a while to pay respects, and it's not good to hear if it is spread."
Hearing this, the eldest aunt had a trace of hesitation on her face, during this time, Qu An looked at her very strictly, and took care of her meticulously, and really made her forget to go back to her parents' house, this is the New Year, even if Qu An doesn't let her, she has to go back once.
"I'll go back with Qu An after the year."
Seeing Deng Chunzhi's expression, the woman's eyes lit up and said, "Do you know your niece?" After going out for a few months, but returning in a carriage, this reputation is rotten in the village, and I don't know where the money came from. How? Didn't give you any of it? Don't blame me for what I just said badly, I was angry when I saw that you didn't have new clothes on you. When she came back this time, she gave Lin Caifeng a lot of cotton to the head of the village, and she couldn't use up the more Lin Caifeng, so she gave a lot to the village! Didn't you get any of this? ”
Hearing this, Deng Chunzhi's face became even more ugly, and he only felt that he couldn't hold his face, and said coldly: "That white-eyed wolf can give it to whoever he wants, just because I haven't raised her before!" ”
"Chunzhi, this is not like you......" The concubine was about to say something, but Qu An came from the outhouse, holding hot tea in his hand and putting it on the table in the room.
This move startled the two women, Zheng Chunzhi's concubine saw that Qu An's face was not good, and even if she was not happy, she said sarcastically: "I have no ability, I can't make money, and I can't even raise my daughter-in-law and children, so I will bully us women, okay, I won't tell you, I still have things at home, I can't afford to drink your hot tea." ”
After the concubine left, Qu An put his eyes on Zheng Chunzhi, and realized that the two of them only talked a few words, and his daughter-in-law looked at her with a lot of disdain and complaint.
No wonder Qu Xiaoqi kept her daughter-in-law away from her mother's family before, why didn't she see this clearly before?
Qu Rui is old, has her own opinions, and when she sees her mother like this, her brows are tightly locked, and she seems to be thinking about something.
"I won't go back for the Chinese New Year this year, you will honestly stay at home for me." Qu An sighed and said.
Hearing this, Deng Chunzhi was unwilling, and said with his teeth and claws: "Qu'an, what did you say?" Do you want the villagers to poke me in the backbone and scold me for being unfilial? If you don't have any money yourself, forget it, and drag me down! In vain, I worked so hard to give birth to two children for you, and if I die, forget me! ”
"That group of people took so much silver from your house, and asked them to provide for the second elder, will you serve them when you go back?" Furious, Qu An began to say nothing.
"The second elder gave money to Zhongshan to study, have you forgotten? If you don't raise the second elder, will it be possible to raise your niece's white-eyed wolf? ”
Looking at Deng Chunzhi's condescending attitude, Qu An was heartbroken for a while, as if he remembered that he was also crushed by Zheng Chunzhi's appearance step by step.
Sitting down a little dejectedly, Qu An didn't want to pay attention to Deng Chunzhi, it would be a lie to say that he had no feelings for his daughter-in-law, it was because he had her in his heart that he endured all kinds of insults from her, so that he couldn't raise his head in front of everyone.
"Deng Chunzhi, think about it carefully, how have you treated Xiaoqi's girl all these years? When we go down and see her father and mother, can you have a clear conscience? ”
This is not the first time Qu An has called his full name, and after getting married, Qu An rarely called his full name, which made Deng Chunzhi a little in a trance.
I didn't know what Qu An meant, so I straightened my waist and added a little confidence to myself, and said, "I naturally ...... Can ......"
It's just that the voice is getting quieter and quieter, obviously because of his own weakness.
"Don't say how much work Xiaoqi has done for so long, just talk about her marriage, a good marriage has made you mess up, let her marry a fool, tell me yourself, what kind of face do you have to face your brother and younger siblings?" Qu An's eyes were staring at Deng Chunzhi tightly, and the whole person looked a little domineering.
