In this way, the Wu family was busy preparing some gifts for the relatives of the Linchuan family, and let Zeng Ziye take them together.

Two days later, Zeng Ziye went to Linchuan, because it was also the day of the autumn harvest, the family that sold the land and their family rushed into Beijing after the autumn harvest, Zeng Ziye went to Linchuan, Zeng Zigu was busy with things in the school and couldn't leave, Zeng Budo planned to go to Nanyuanzhuang in person, and also look at his own land.

Zeng Ziye left, the next morning soon after the city gate opened, Uncle Liu came to the door, sent the made car box and wheels and things, because it was sent by the donkey cart, Liu Erlang also followed, Huang Bo was admitted to the hospital, I heard that Uncle Liu sent the car box, Banniang Xingchong followed the father to see, Jue'er Jiulang and Gong'er also followed, that is, Qi Niang who heard the news ran out.

Seeing that Liu Erlang was also there, Banniang was very happy, this honest peasant youth was very likable.

"I've seen Uncle Liu. Second Brother Liu, why are you also free? After seeing the ceremony, and introducing his father, Uncle Liu helped Erlang unload the wheels and other things, and said with a smile: "I have seen Master Zeng, I have seen a few brothers and sisters, it should have been sent two days ago, only Erlang went home to help me make wheels, and took two days off, it is not good to invite again, I had to go home yesterday, so I only came today." ”

Banniang hurriedly paid the fare for the hired car, and then said: "The old man is too polite, Second Brother Liu should come to my house and say, we will drive the horse and go directly to your house to pick it up, wouldn't it save the old man a trip?" ”

Liu Erlang just smiled.

Everyone looked at each other around the trunk for a while, because only the varnish was on, the oak wood was clear, the texture was extremely beautiful, and the fragrance of wood was still scattered, and the family was happy.

Zeng did not doubt that he invited the Liu family father and son into the house, Qi Niang came forward to see it, and went to make tea, Zeng Lao Uncle and his son drank tea to quench their thirst, so they asked Zeng Budo to lead the horse, first install the car box and wheels to try, to see if there is anything to change, if there is, let Liu Erlang have time to come and change it.

Huang Bo went to the back garden to lead the horse. Zeng Budo said with a smile: "Today, I can only pretend first, and the ropes and other things for the horse have not been bought yet." ”

Uncle Liu smiled back and said: "This doesn't need to be bothered by Master Zeng, because Mr. Zeng paid enough wages that day, and Erlang had already helped to buy it." ”

Zeng did not doubt that it was troublesome, the father and son of the Liu family drank a cup of tea, and then started to move, because they are all good objects, and only a few people need to put them on by hand, and from time to time they are busy with the work, and then put on the horse, and let Liu Erlang go to the hospital to try, there is no problem. Liu Erlang is about to leave.

Zeng did not doubt that he wanted to keep the Liu family father and son to have a light meal at home, after all, it only cost forty yuan, and the people not only used the good wood at home, but also equipped with ropes and other things, and owed the Liu family father and son a favor.

Liu Erlang said with a smile: "Master Zeng doesn't have to be polite, if it weren't for the help of the eighth lady in the house, the villain would not be able to find such a good errand now, this thing should be done, I won't bother you in your house today, the villain still needs to go to the shop to work, go late, the shopkeeper is only afraid that he will not like it, and when he is free, he will come to the house again." ”

Zeng didn't suspect that Liu Erlang was really in trouble, so he didn't force him to stay, so he left Old Man Liu down. Liu Erlang said before leaving: "I heard my father say that there is a young lady in the house to marry, and there is still something to be done in the dowry family, the villain's craftsmanship is OK, and the shop is not too busy recently, if you don't dislike it, wait for the house to set a good appearance, please send it to my home, and then the villain will definitely help the house to do a good job, Zeng Lao rest assured, it is better than ordering it in the wood shop outside, it is more practical." ”

Zeng Budo smiled and thanked him, and asked Uncle Huang to send Liu Erlang out, Old Man Liu didn't want to keep it to bother, seeing that Master Zeng was really a guest, and Banniang said that he had drawn several furniture patterns, and he would take them to his father for a while.

In this way, it is not easy for Lao Liu to go. I talked about farming with Zeng Budo, such as what to plant in spring, what to plant in autumn, what kind of field can be planted with two seasons of grain, and so on.

Old man Liu didn't expect that Mr. Zeng was so approachable, and he was very concerned about farming, and he didn't have half of the officials who had been officials to take Qiao's momentum, and he was even more self-explanatory, and from time to time it was lunch time, Ba Niang and Qi Niang had good wine and good food, Zeng Lao Dad felt that the house was stuffy, and moved the dining table to the aisle of the second courtyard.

Wu's heart was careful, and because the weather was extremely hot, he asked Banniang to take a plate of watermelons from the well and cut them to the two old men who were talking.

Banniang likes to listen to the old man talk about farming, so she simply sat on the side, and helped them play fans by the way.

It wasn't until the sun was getting west that the lunch was over, the two old men were a little drunk, Banniang hurriedly called Jue'er and Jiulang over, helped the old man Liu to rest in the guest room, and helped his father back to the bedroom, brought the boiled sobering soup, served the father to drink, made tea and rinsed his mouth, and helped the father to go to bed.

Before he left the house, he heard the cry of the newborn little eleven mother and kitten in the compartment. Because the Wu family was still busy cleaning up the broken table, Banniang hurriedly rushed into the inner compartment and asked, "Mother, why is Yun Chu crying?" ”

Zhu was landing on the bed, just took off his shoes, and when he saw Banniang coming in, he turned around and hugged Xiao Eleven, while coaxing Xiao Eleven, opened the thin cotton cloth wrapped in Xiao Eleven, and said to Banniang: "Probably urine, you go outside and get a few clean diapers." ”

Banniang hurriedly ran out of the house, took a few diapers that were almost dried under the tree frame where she went to the backyard to dry clothes, and rushed in, seeing that Zhu was helping Xiao Shiyi change into clean clothes, Banniang said: "Mother, the weather is hot, Bao'er's skin is very tender, if you are not careful, you will have prickly heat, it is better to pay attention, I will bring some warm water, and by the way, help us Xiao Shiyi take a bath, okay?" ”

Zhu was right when he thought about it, and it wasn't that no one was busy, so he let Banniang go.

After a while, I took a bath for Xiao Eleven, because it was only a few days old, and the baby's bones were really soft, so Banniang was also helping on the side, and when Xiao Eleven was washed and carried to bed, Banniang did not pour dirty water, but only teased Xiao Eleven who was lying on the bed with his eyes half-closed and comfortably gnawing on Xiao Eleven's tender hands.

The unique milk aroma of the baby is pink and tender, not to mention how cute it is. Banniang looked at it, and felt that her heart was as soft as the peach blossom water in April.

"Mother, why do I think that Chu'er was born black and wrinkled, and now it is whiter and more beautiful as she grows?"

Zhu Shi was also looking at Xiao Eleven lovingly, laughed when he heard the words, and scolded Banniang's forehead: "Where is it white?" It's only been a few days, and then it's going to look good in a few months, and when you were born, it's the same, and it'll be fine in a few days. Little Eleven looks like you. ”

Banniang felt a little incredible, and said in surprise: "When I was born, I was similar to Xiao Eleven?" How ugly is that crumpled one? ”

Zhu was angry and funny, and slapped her head hard: "It's all nonsense, it's good that the eleventh sister can't hear the sound at this time, or I have to hate you for being a sister." ”

"Mother, can't you beat me lightly?" Banniang rubbed her somewhat sore head while laughing. But because Zhu said that Xiao Eleven looked like her, there was a very strange feeling in his heart.

The mother and daughter were laughing in a low voice, and they saw Xiao Shi running in step by step with little fat legs, and stretched out her arms towards Zhu: "Mother, mother, Zhen'er also wants to hug her sister." ”

Banniang jumped off the bed, hugged Xiao Shi to the bed, and coaxed: "Chu'er is still young, can't hug it, can you hug it when you grow up?" Come, Zhen'er also goes to bed, and we talk to my mother together. ”

Xiao Shi looked at Xiao Eleven with a blank eye, stretched out her hand, Banniang was afraid that she didn't know something, so she accidentally scratched and touched Xiao Eleven, and said: "Ten sister, Xiao Eleven is still young, you can't touch it, or Sister Eleven will be angry, and she won't play with you in the future." ”

"Eighth sister lied, my mother said, Chu'er likes me the most."

Xiao Shi listened to Banniang's words, glared at Banniang very dissatisfied, and pouted.

That round look is funny to those who watch it.

Banniang ignored her, attached herself and sniffed the milk fragrance on Xiao Shiyi's body, and pinched Xiao Shi's fat and tender little face, then jumped out of bed and said with a smile: "Where did I lie to you, you have to be a good sister, Xiao Shi will like you, if you are mischievous every day, and you can't be an example for your sister, Xiao Shi must secretly laugh at you every day." ”

After saying that, she didn't care that Xiao Shi stared at her, and ran away with a smile.
