The moonlight was shining outside the window, Du Mei remembered that during the mid-July Festival, Xie Shi held Ma Rong's shoulder and burned paper money outside the hospital, and she happened to be bumped into by her when she went home.

After thinking about it, Du Mei remembered what Mrs. Lan said in her ear when Xie had a difficult birth, the third uncle is a scholar, and he pays the most attention to etiquette, righteousness and shame, how can a person be middle-aged and prostitute in the daytime~ lewdness, besides, Xie's belly is so big, and the third uncle is already the father of two children, how can he not know the severity?

Thinking about it this way, the words of the people in the village may not be groundless, it must be that the Xie family is inappropriate and has been peeped at by others.

Du Mei was tired, closed her eyes, and didn't think about these nonsense things, no matter what the Xie family did, it had nothing to do with her or her family, the most terrible hatred in the world was not thinking about how to retaliate, but your indifference to me!

"Meizi, it's not that I'm talkative, now that I've got the news, I naturally want to tell you that if he has a mess in the future, you can deal with it." Fengxian felt a little guilty, Meizi went out to collect grain every day, and it was already very hard, but it seemed that this matter could not be left unsaid.

"I know, don't tell my mother, she can't put aside these dirty things in her heart." Du Mei turned over and held Feng Xian's hand and said.

"Well, I know. Go to sleep, you have to get up early tomorrow. Fengxian choked in her throat and was deeply moved by Du Mei's mother-daughter relationship. She has been with Xiaolian in Yihong Courtyard for a long time, and she can't think of this kind of family affection.

After careful calculation, Du Mei collected more than 600 stones of rice, most of which were second-class grains, and there were many first-class ones, only seventy or eighty stones of third-class and fourth-class ones, and five hundred copper coins were about the same.

According to the meaning of Niu Er and Hei Jiaolong, the fourth-class grain will not be collected, but Du Mei is poor for the villagers, it is not easy to grow grain, so she barely collects some, she pondered that these grains will be fed directly to the ducks, and the ducks cannot be put on the river beach all winter, these grains are almost enough.

The rice is tied with ropes of different colors at the mouth of the bag according to the grade, and it is clear at a glance when the rice is scooped and will not be confused. Niu Er, Hei Jiaolong and the others returned to Sheshan Town, rested for a day, and then went to the shop to get busy. Du Zhong didn't delay for half a day, went home and told Du Shu some words, and then went back to Baiyun Villa. On the second day, Du Ying and Niu Er handed over the affairs in the grain shop clearly, and then stopped going and waited for the ducklings at home.

After more than half a month of careful feeding training, the ducklings have lost their yellow feathers and are as big as a fist, and they have been able to skillfully follow instructions and get used to where to eat and where to sleep.

The big white breed is really outstanding, the ducklings are eating and sleeping together, the thirty ducks are better than the ducks next to them, with long legs and large skeletons, standing in the duck flock, you can see at a glance, and they have a natural sense of leadership, eating training is always the first to rush up, and the other ducks are consciously slow to follow.

"Sister, these thirty ducks have grown up, and they can't fight when they fight for the ducks." Du Ying said with some concern.

In the morning, the early winter sun shone warmly on people, and the shadow cast by the branches of the big elm trees dappled the courtyard of the second room, and Du Ying and Du Mei stood in front of the lower room where the ducklings were raised.

Du Mei took the account of collecting grain yesterday, and now she planned to go to Qinghe County to see the sales of Songhua eggs in Zuixianlou, but her mother insisted on leaving her at home to recuperate for a day, and she was not allowed to go anywhere, she was not allowed to do anything, just waiting to eat ready-made.

"The winner is king, this is natural nature, if it is not strong enough to protect its own kind in all aspects, how can you lead a flock of five hundred ducks. This competition is not decided by a fight, but is constantly eliminated until the best head duck is selected, which is good for the stability of the duck flock and our rearing. It was rare for Du Mei to spend such a leisurely day at home, and she stood in the doorway, watching the ducklings frolic and eat, and her eyes were far-reaching.

"Do you have to send these ducks to the lodge to raise them?" Du Ying asked reluctantly.

"It's about to enter the winter moon, the weather will get colder and colder, Aunt Lin has never raised ducks, they have no experience, I'm afraid it's not good to serve, it's a pity if it is broken, besides, there is a batch of duck seedlings to be sent, temporarily leave them at home for a period of time, and wait for the New Year, the climate is warmer and then send them." Du Mei thought about it and said.

"There really aren't more than a thousand adult ducks at home." Du Ying looked around the courtyard.

"Not only can you not stay at home, but you can't put so much on the river beach, first of all, the food in the mouth of the fish can't keep up, and you have to swim to Sheshan Lake, the water surface of Sheshan Lake is so big, where can our sisters manage it, and then there are thousands of duck droppings, duck feathers, it will stain the water source, it's not good for everyone, we can't just care about making money for ourselves, regardless of the life or death of others, and we still live in the village." Du Mei put his arm around her eldest sister's shoulders and said slowly. The gentle sunlight danced mischievously on her eyelashes, trembling lightly.

"Ruren, Ruren, my grandfather has come to pick up his wife!" Mrs. Zhang stepped into the courtyard and said excitedly.

Today, Aunt Zhang's house fried the wild walnuts picked in the mountains, and sent her daughter Xiaoniu to invite Fengxian to taste them, and the three of them just walked for a while, and Xu happened to meet Song Shaohuai on the road, so they turned back together.

"Oh?" Du Mei turned her head to look at the courtyard gate, and thought to herself, this Song Shaohuai is resolute, but he will get things done in half a month?

While talking, Song Shaohuai, who was full of spring breeze, took the smiling Fengxian into the yard, Xiaolian followed behind, Du Ying saw it, and hugged the black girl to the kitchen.

"Thank you, widow." Song Shaohuai saw Du Mei standing in the courtyard and stepped forward to salute solemnly.

"Why is Song Gongzi so polite today, since he is here, sit at home." Du Mei bowed back.

"You take such good care of Fengxian, I should thank you." The three of them walked into the hall, and Song Shaohuai said with a smile.

However, after not seeing him for more than half a month, Fengxian returned to his former demeanor, and Song Shaohuai was surprised when he saw it, could it be that Du Mei's food was so nourishing?

"She's my sister, and it's right to take care of her." Du Mei made him a cup of tea, and the house was just some coarse tea picked in the mountains, but fortunately, Song Shaohuai was not very particular, and took a sip without disgust.

"Sister?" Song Shaohuai turned his head to look at Fengxian with some confusion.

"I haven't had time to tell my master yet, Meizi and I have become sisters!" Feng Xian said with sparkling eyes.

"Bow? Good swearing! Song Shaohuai was stunned for a moment, and he hurriedly smiled to hide it, he suddenly had a strange feeling that he would be controlled.

"Mrs. Zhang said you were going to take my sister back?" Du Mei asked, sitting down next to the table.

"Well, my grandmother has already allowed me to marry Aunt Xu Fengxian into the mansion, and when I give birth to a child, I will discuss the matter of being a flat wife in the future." Song Shaohuai's eyebrows and eyes were dyed with joy, the old lady could surrender to his father to make the decision for him, but he did everything he could to rely on his grandmother's side for half a month.

"Sister?" Du Mei turned his head to look at the phoenix.

"I'm all at the mercy of my lord." Feng Xian listened to Song Shaohuai's words, and her face was full of joy.

"Sister, wait until she gives birth to a child, and then enter the house, after all, your belly is so big, you must always save some face for Lord Zhongshuling." Du Mei whispered.

She wanted to say that as soon as she entered the Hou Gate, it was as deep as the sea, and it seemed to be so comfortable outside. Hua Yan is Su Shangshangling's favorite concubine, and there are still a lot of unspeakable sufferings, not to mention that Fengxian is just Song Shaohuai's concubine, although he has not married a wife, but there are still ladies and old ladies above, this day is not easy.

But Du Mei clearly saw the joy on Feng Xian's face that she couldn't hide, so she suppressed the words, she remembered that in the dream Du Mei warned Meng Feifei that she should not do things that backfired, if she forcibly prevented Feng Xian from entering the mansion, she was afraid that she would complain.

"Marry my aunt, a soft sedan chair is carried in from the side door, and I don't do anything." Song Shaohuai didn't expect Du Mei to say this, and said a little impatiently.

"Sister Fengxian's body is conditioned by me, I know the truth best, in case she wants to give birth, it is better for me to keep it." Du Mei had to make his words clear. The implication is that she doesn't believe that the people in the Song Mansion can make the phoenix give birth smoothly!

"You ......" Song Shaohuai was sullen, he had always been eloquent, but when he met Du Mei, he was dumb.

"I listen to my sister!" Feng Xian was startled by Du Mei's words, and the good days she had dreamed of before suddenly became ethereal.

"When you say this, you have fulfilled my father's heart and fulfilled his face." Song Shaohuai sighed lowly.

Song Shaohuai had to carefully weigh Du Mei's words, something just happened some time ago, who was instructed by Wang Pozi, because she died, there was no result, this black hand is still hidden in the dark, if she is rashly brought back to the mansion at this time, she is not familiar with life, and she can't guard it every day, it is easy to go wrong. It is better to wait for the child to be born safely, the mother is more expensive than the child, or she can win the love of the ancestors, in this way, the black hand will naturally be jealous, and her life in the house can be better.

"Let's go back to Qinghe County for the time being, and stay closer to my sister." Fengxian glanced at Du Mei gratefully, she was carried away by the sudden joy, thanks to Du Mei's vigilance.

"It's okay, the family was busy a year ago, and I am afraid that I can't take care of your porridge and meals, but if you take your time after the year, give the old lady a double happiness, which will definitely make her happy." Song Shaohuai patted her hand and agreed.

"Since I decided to go back to Qinghe County, I still have to clean up in the house, especially the people in the kitchen." Du Mei pondered for a moment.

"I have sent all the original people, Mai Dong and Liu Gengsheng have found some people who know the roots, and there will be no more trouble." Song Shaohuai nodded, his arrangement was just to look at the house, but now that Fengxian wants to go back to live, he naturally has to find some acquaintances.

"In that case, that's for the best. Sister Fengxian stayed at home for lunch and then left, my mother stewed chicken today. Du Mei felt a little sour in her heart, although Fengxian knew that the future was uncertain, she was still willing to fight the fire with a moth desperately, she bet that Song Shaohuai must love her and will protect her for the rest of her life.

"Then I'm in for a treat." Song Shaohuai smiled, a very sincere smile.

He couldn't wait to see Chu Lin tomorrow, how to describe Du Mei's kindness and intelligence to him, Song Shaohuai found that as long as he talked about Du Mei's bits and pieces, people who were cold for ten thousand years would always show a warm smile, this smile seemed to be a spring blossom, spring water dingdong.
