After all, this was just the wishful thinking of Carpenter Chi, and Chi Yue didn't want to argue with him about this unsubstantiated matter, and it was a waste of time. She looked around and found a light-hearted topic to divert the attention of the two, "Where did Chi Chen and Chi Wu go?" ”

Chi Chen and Chi Wu are the two sons of Chi Carpenter, one fifteen and one thirteen, both half-grown children.

Now is the busy season of corn harvesting, and at their age, they can also be counted on by the two carpenters.

Originally, Chi Yue just casually found a topic, but he didn't want the carpenter Chi to frown, and said ruthlessly: "These two rabbit cubs have been getting more and more unpleasant recently!" I ran out before dawn all day, and I didn't know until I came back in the middle of the night. According to their mother, during the days when I was unconscious, they didn't even stay home all day, and they didn't know where to fool around outside. Their mother called them to come back and collect the corn on the cob, but the two of them ran away in a blink of an eye, and they didn't listen to her words to help her. Hey, I never imagined that when I had an accident, two children who were originally obedient would become so bold and dare to disobey their parents! I'm afraid that they will go out and mingle with a bunch of gangsters, and if they don't learn badly, they will cause trouble at home. ”

Speaking of this, the carpenter Chi was so angry that his face turned red, his forehead was bruised, he beat his weak legs, and continued to lament: "Pity me now, I can't discipline those two little kings and eight lambs, and their mother is weak, so I can only let them continue to run around." ”

The two sons of the carpenter of Iketsuki became like this, but Ikezuki never imagined.

When I came to Xunchi carpenters to do their work before, I saw their well-behaved and sensible appearances, and I thought it was very good?

Their father had an accident and was bedridden, they should be more filial and help their mother take care of their father at home, their father can't work, they should also replace their father as a pillar and take on the responsibility of the family, why do they do the opposite?

But after all, this is someone's family affair, and educating their children is only their responsibility as parents, what is she worried about for others?

Yes, Chi Yue smiled slightly, and said with relief: "Uncle, you don't have to worry, maybe the two of them are just old, and they want to go out and play when you can't control them, and when you get tired of playing and think of your benefits, you will come back obediently." ”

Carpenter Chiyue shook his head, and he didn't want to say anything more, but frowned and said, "I hope so." ”

But anyone can see that he can't let go of this knot no matter what.

After chatting a few more words, Chi Yue didn't wait for Aunt Chi to come back, so she insisted on saying goodbye and going back.

On the way back, Chi Yue went to Xiaocui's house and stuffed the moon cake to Xiaocui's mother. Xiaocui's mother knew that Xiaocui and Chi Yue were good friends, and often sent some things to each other, and after a few pushes, she accepted them unceremoniously.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a good time to peddle food, because Xiaocui refuses to rest, still insists on working in the cake, planning to take advantage of this festival to make twice as much profit as usual.

It was nearly noon, and she was not at home when it was getting light.

Chi Yue chatted with Xiaocui's mother for a long time, and then politely excused herself from her kindness to leave her for lunch and left Xiaocui's house.

Under the willow tree by the well in the village, there was a blind gentleman who was telling a story, talking to a group of hairy boys, and a child beside him took the opportunity to peddle the snacks they had brought and many delicate knick-knacks.

Chi Yue stayed here for a long time, until he listened to the book twice and saw that the sun would be high in the middle, and then he really went home.

It was almost noon, and Zhou had probably already cooked the meal. To serve so many people, she inevitably had to go back to help.

Even if she is no longer willing to face the faces of those people who eat people and don't spit out bones, it is not a matter for her to go back for a long time, not only them, but even the Zhou family has to blame her.

After she went back, she helped Zhou to work in the stove.

No, just went back, and before she got to the house, when she heard Zhou Chen's words, she was so angry that she refused to enter the house again.

"Eldest sister, you have bought so many delicious foods, no matter how much we love our children on weekdays, we are reluctant to be so generous, buying these expensive dead people's nuts, preserves, pastries, etc., it can be seen that you are not ordinary rich! You can afford it, so you can simply ask your nephew to take it, you see how fragrant he eats, and he won't be hungry for half a year after eating these good things! Next time you go back to your parents' house, sister, don't forget to bring more for your nephew. ”

As a guest, Zhou Chen took the initiative to ask for food from the host's family, and he couldn't help but be disdainful.

Zhou just smiled and said good-naturedly: "It's not because the family has money to buy these, it's just because the children like to eat that Yue'er and Xin'er brought back so much, and I also know that they are all gluttonous, so I won't stop them." Ono likes to eat it, so you can take it home and I'll buy it for the kids at the market. ”

"Oops, it turned out that Chi Yue and Chi Xin brought it back. Oh, eldest sister, this is your mistake, how old are the two children, and you will hand over the money to them and spend it with them? Aren't you afraid that they will ruin the whole family? Eldest sister, although your life is gradually getting better, but after all, the money is saved, if you waste it at will, there will always be a day when you sit and eat nothing, aren't you afraid to go back to live your penniless hard life? ”

Zhou Chen taught Zhou unceremoniously, completely ignoring her being smaller than Zhou, and if she didn't know, he thought she was Zhou's elder.

"Your brother and sister are right, you need to listen carefully." Zhou Liu's family also followed Zhou's number, "You grew up beside me when you were young, and I know your temperament very well." You are a soft persimmon, anyone can handle it, didn't you be pinched by your mother-in-law before, and you didn't dare to come out? Now it's been taken by your daughter again, tsk, I can't support the shelf of the elders, let your daughter do nonsense, step on your head and, how can I get it in the future!

"Although this workshop was opened by your second daughter, I heard that it was also opened in the county, and the pomp and circumstance are not small, now you have followed your second daughter to make earth-shaking changes, eat fragrant and drink spicy, and no longer have to suffer. But after all, she is a half-grown doll, and there is no qualitative and measured way to do things, maybe she will be developed at this time, and all the money she earned will be wasted. When I saw her ignoring us, I knew that she was a stranger and had a strange temper, and this kind of child, who did not know even the most basic etiquette of respecting her elders, had to be strictly disciplined so that she could understand and understand things! If you don't even understand this little bit of truth, don't expect her to do anything big in the future! I advise you not to get used to her, and keep all the money in your own hands in the future, so that when your children get married in the future, you can afford the bride price, and when you are old, you will have a pound of silver, and you will not starve to death in desperation. I also warned you once in the next year, but when I came back to see you, I knew that you must have not done what I said. Hmph, I will never harm you, your wife, if you don't listen to me, you will suffer in the end! ”

When Chi Yue heard this, she finally understood why the Zhou family had passed the New Year, and after visiting her mother's house in Zhoujia Village, she became a little "greedy for money". She didn't hesitate to take the money that Chi Yue gave her, and politely asked her for wages.

Chi Yue originally thought that she had figured it out and wanted to save money to save their dowry, but it turned out that she listened to her own mother's words to prevent Chi Yue from falling from a high place to the bottom of the valley one day, so that she could have a pound of capital. This is a long-term plan, so be prepared.

Although there is no harm in itself, there are only benefits. But Chi Yue's mind is not as simple as Zhou's.

Zhou Liu is really so kind, is she willing to suddenly return the favor to this girl she has tortured for twenty or thirty years? Who can guarantee that she is so fond of the Zhou family, not the same as the old mansion, but with the intention of reaping benefits from the Zhou family?

Zhou Liu's and Zhou Chen's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, you and I are nothing more than teaching Zhou, telling her to stand up as a mother, don't let Chi Yue's children step on her head, and she decisively coerce Chi Yue to collect all the income into her hands, so that everything can be guaranteed.

For a long time, Zhou didn't feel annoyed, but just agreed resignedly, allowing the two of them to criticize and teach at will.

Chi Xin was probably tired of listening, and couldn't help but remind Zhou: "Mother, seeing that it's noon, we should also cook some meals and entertain grandma, right?" ”

At the mention of lunch, the two spittling stars stopped talking. Zhou Chen said to Zhou even more aggressively: "Eldest sister, we are not outsiders, just cook a few dishes at will." I see there's a black chicken in your yard, that's a good thing! We don't even know what black chicken tastes like, so why don't you blunt a black chicken soup and let us taste it? This thing is only affordable for big families, and if you think about it, plus your good craftsmanship, we can be regarded as full of food this time! Daddy, don't you say? ”

Always silent, looking at Zhou Jie with a pair of eyes, he also smiled and agreed, "That's it, let's have a brother and sister, brother, I won't be polite to you, sister." ”

Zhou smiled and said: "I was about to make this dish for you, you must know that you came, I plucked this black chicken last night, where can I wait until now to be busy picking up?" Wait, I'll kill the black chicken and stew it for you." ”

With that, he came out of the hall in a hurry.

Not wanting to see Chi Yue in the courtyard, Zhou was stunned, afraid that she would think of herself when she heard the words in the house, and she was suddenly a little embarrassed.

Chi Yue sighed, stepped forward and whispered to Zhou: "Mother, you are doing the right thing, don't feel uneasy." ”

Seeing Chi Yue comforting himself like this, Zhou finally opened the knot in his heart.

"I'm also going to have a good dowry for you and your sister when you get married...... Zhou wanted to say something, but because the guests were still there, he had to stop talking and go to catch black chickens and get busy.

"Chi Yue is back? After going for so long and not coming back, do you still have your grandma and uncle? Zhou Liu's face was dark, and he was dissatisfied with Chi Yue, who stepped in unhurriedly.

Chi Yue knew that this old woman was deliberately putting on a majestic elder to demonstrate to her. Just as she was able to pick up Zhou, she had to set a good example for Zhou first. Xing Zhou saw that Chi Yue was shocked by her, so he naturally knew that she would definitely be able to do it herself.
