Chapter 140: The landlord's wife who is not black-hearted
"Milk, then Jiayan and I will go home first, and I'll come back tomorrow to help you and my uncle." After having lunch in the house of the Ming family in the county seat, Mingyue and Yu Jiayan went back to their own house diagonally across the door together.
As soon as they arrived in the county seat, they had already handed over a post to the Gu Zhi County family, and sent the mountain goods and local products brought from Wulitun, and other familiar people in the county had already sent a post and gifts in turn, which was regarded as a greeting to everyone in their old age, so for now they only need to wait for each family to reply.
When the little couple returned home, the winter solstice, which came back one step earlier, had quickly cleaned up the three main rooms and three east wings in the courtyard where the two of them lived daily.
Mingyue handed the food box brought from Ming's house to the winter solstice, and the winter solstice was free to fill her stomach.
Because the wing room and the inverted seat room have not been burned on the kang for the time being, Mingyue simply left the winter solstice to have lunch in the main house.
I only ate a few pieces of dim sum to pad my stomach before I started to work, and I was already hungry at this time on my chest and back, and I saw the millet porridge, flowering steamed buns, cold spinach, sauce elbows, steamed sausages, sauerkraut vermicelli stewed frozen tofu in the food box, she didn't hold back, and swallowed her saliva directly.
Mingyue touched the top of the little girl's fluffy hair funny, "If you're hungry, eat it quickly, remember to drink porridge first, don't choke." ”
There's a reason she says that.
Before the winter solstice was sold by her parents, the poor family had to eat grass roots and bark to survive, and she stayed at Ya Po for a short time, and although Ya Po gave her a little better food than what she ate at home, the quantity and quality were only maintained to the extent that she would not be eaten to death or starved to death.
This led to the winter solstice when she first came to Mingyue's side, the whole person was like a starving ghost reincarnated, Mingyue didn't pay attention at first, and directly gave her two mixed noodles made of sorghum rice noodles and white noodles for the first meal, but she almost choked the little girl to death.
Since then, Mingyue didn't dare to directly give her steamed buns, steamed buns, flatbreads and other foods, and has been supervising her to eat sorghum rice and millet porridge for half a month, so Mingyue allowed her to choose her own food.
But even so, once you are hungry on the winter solstice, you will still eat yourself until you burp. Mingyue had no choice but to bring her a big bowl of porridge or soup every time to prevent her from choking.
"Delicious! It's so delicious! While eating, the winter solstice sighed happily, "Master, this is the meal you asked Aunt Lin to leave for me, right?" ”
Whether it is the Yu family or the Ming family, people usually don't eat so richly.
Mingyue nodded.
It's not that she favors her own only little maid, but that the Ming family originally left servants to take care of the house in the county seat, so the subordinates they brought back only need to put their luggage in place, and they don't have to clean it again, plus there are many of them, and the speed of work is naturally much faster.
And the Yu family only has two subordinates, Ping An and Dong Solstice, Ping An is still recuperating from his injury, and he just runs an errand or something, but Yu Jiayan doesn't dare to support him to do all the work that is a little tired, so most of the work in their family falls on the winter solstice.
The little girl was busy alone, when the people of the Ming family sat in two tables for men and women in the inverted room that entered the courtyard, eating hot meals and enjoying the warm ondol, only her little maid was still hungry and came back to clean up, if Mingyue didn't leave some food for the winter solstice, she herself would feel that she was a black-hearted landlord who oppressed child labor.
Anyway, the Ming family didn't search people, Mrs. Ming asked the kitchen to prepare only more or less meals every time, even if Mingyue asked the cook to set aside some for the winter solstice, the masters of the Ming family would never have enough to eat.
When the winter solstice filled her stomach, Mingyue took her little maid to put in place the daily necessities they brought back from Wulitun.
Then she and Yu Jiayan took turns to wash, while Dong Solstice continued to clean up the inverted seat room in the second courtyard and all the places in the first courtyard.
By the time she was finally done, the sky had completely darkened, and she was about to go back to the courtyard to prepare dinner for her two masters, when Mingyue had already come to the courtyard to ask her to eat.
It happened that Ping'an walked in from outside the courtyard gate with a guy who came to deliver things to the Yu family, and Mingyue simply called Yu Jiayan over to count things.
The couple checked and settled accounts one by one, and soon sent all those guys away.
"Let's clean up the things later, if you don't eat, I'm afraid the food will be cold." Mingyue clapped her hands and turned around and went back to the second courtyard behind, and the winter solstice hurriedly followed.
For dinner, Mingyue prepared red dates and millet porridge, flowering steamed buns, mushroom stewed chicken, artichoke braised pork, cold cabbage shreds, pork sauerkraut vermicelli stewed tofu, among which the flowering steamed buns were brought from the Ming family, and Mingyue just steamed it in the pot.
She and Yu Jiayan didn't eat much at night, Mingyue first filled each of them with a large bowl of red dates and millet porridge, and then put two flowering steamed buns in a small plate.
She also just put a small plate of side dishes on the kang table, and as for the rest of the most of the meals, she let the winter solstice watch and distribute them all.
Winter Solstice thought about it for a while, so he simply filled all the meals with wooden basins and porcelain basins, and ran to the front yard to enjoy them with Ping'an.
This is made by the hostess of her family, and as a qualified little maid, she must let the silly boy of Ping An taste it with a grateful heart.
Mingyue, who didn't know what decision her little maid had made, was busy grabbing vegetables with Yu Jiayan at this time, and the two were happy to repeat this childish drama that was staged at almost every meal.
***
Early the next morning, Mingyue and Yu Jiayan went to Ming's house to help Mrs. Ming and Mingdi.
Yesterday, as soon as I arrived in the county seat, Mrs. Ming gave a post to Qi Su'e's mother, Mrs. Qi Er, and Mrs. Qi's post replied quickly, and the two families made an appointment to bring Mrs. Ming to the door with Mingdi, Mingxu, and Mingyue today.
They went to discuss the marriage date with the Qi family, San Lang and Qi Su'e are not young, since the marriage is decided, Mrs. Ming wants to marry her granddaughter-in-law into the house as soon as possible.
Although the Qi family wanted to keep their daughter for a while, Qi Su'e's age made it impossible for them to ask the Ming family to "postpone the marriage".
The two families met in the Qi house in the county seat, and after greeting each other, Mrs. Ming and Ming Di first sent a wave of greeting gifts.
Following their mother and son, Second Master Qi and Second Mrs. Qi also sent a meeting gift to Ming Xu and Mingyue respectively.
When the descendants of the Qi family took the Tuyi sent by the Ming family to the warehouse for proper placement, Mrs. Ming and Mrs. Qi began to discuss the marriage date of the two children.
