Chapter 43: The Dong Family

But she thought about it, and finally pointed to Cuihua at the door and said to her cousin: "Then tomorrow morning, I will ask Cuihua to wait for my cousin at the side door, and after my cousin passes, I will go to see my mother-in-law, and then go to our Shihuan Courtyard." ”

Dong Shu was also afraid that her cousin would not understand the rules, so she reminded Dong Lei in this way.

Dong Lei didn't expect that after just a little more than a month, his cousin had learned to speak so implicitly.

Looking up at Xu Shiqiu, who was standing next to his cousin, Dong Lei knew in his heart that these were all the credit of the third son of the Xu family.

At the same time, Dong Lei was also thinking in his heart that the Xu family's life would be difficult, otherwise his cousin would not have learned these things in more than a month.

Xu Shiqiu also understood Dong Shu's hint to Dong Lei, but he agreed with what the little lady said.

He doesn't care about this, and he doesn't treat the Dong family as the maiden family of the little lady, but in the eyes of his mother, the Dong family is the maiden family of the little lady.

Tomorrow is the first time that the little lady's family comes to the door, so naturally you need to pay attention to it.

Because of these things, Xu Shiqiu didn't say anything more.

Dong Lei saw that Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu were really unwilling to stay, so he didn't force them to stay, but insisted on sending them out on crutches.

Dong Lei had just sent Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu to the door, and happened to meet the uncle of the Dong family who heard the news from the ground and rushed back, as well as Dai and Dong Miao.

In addition to these people from the Dong family, Dong Shu's afterglow also saw Liu Er of the neighbor's family standing at the door and probing his brain and looking here.

As soon as she saw Liu Er, Dong Shu subconsciously leaned towards Xu Shiqiu's side.

Sensing the little lady's movements, Xu Shiqiu also quickly noticed the head that had just been retracted in the courtyard next door.

Xu Shiqiu's eyes looked at the courtyard next door for a moment, and then he withdrew his gaze, looked at Dong Shu, and asked her with his eyes if she still wanted to stop talking.

Feeling Xianggong's inquiring gaze, Dong Shu paused slightly, then looked at the uncle, aunt and cousin and nodded.

Dong Shu didn't plan to talk to the uncle, so she nodded and said hello, then looked at the cousin behind her and said, "Cousin, let's go back first." Tomorrow you go in the morning, stay with me at noon to eat, and I'm afraid you won't come back until the afternoon. After saying this, Dong Shu ignored her cousin's inquiring and envious gaze on her, and directly grabbed Xu Shiqiu's arm and prepared to leave.

Xu Shiqiu watched Dong Shu say this, he didn't speak, but directly took her out of the door of Dong's house.

As soon as Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu left, Cuihua naturally followed quickly.

Seeing them leave like this, Dai was just about to open his mouth to scold Dong Shu for being a 'white-eyed wolf', when he saw Dong Lei looking at her and shook his head: "Mother, just now Shu'er and the third son were looking for me to have something." After saying this, Dong Lei turned around and entered the hospital directly on crutches, and then said: "You come in, I will tell you." ”

As soon as he heard Dong Lei's words, Dai immediately suppressed the words in his throat, and then took the lead in following him into the courtyard.

Uncle Dong didn't understand what was going on, he subconsciously looked at Dong Miao beside him, but saw Dong Miao also frowning.

In fact, Dong Miao was more envious of Dong Shu in her heart, and even had a bold idea in her heart.

If her mother sold her to the Xu family, would be the lady who wore such a beautiful dress and went out with a maid, would it be her.

Dong Miao didn't say anything about this thought, but thought about it in his heart for a moment.

But today, Dong Shu appeared in front of her wearing a beautiful dress that she had never seen before, which was still deeply imprinted in her mind.

Dong Lei just entered the hall and sat down, and Dong Zhen, who was hiding in the house, also came out with a bag of dim sum that he had eaten.

Looking at the bag of dim sum on the table in the hall and the bag in the hand of his youngest son, Dai couldn't help but say after all: "I'm embarrassed to come to the door with two packs of dim sum when I go back to my parents' house!" The Xu family has so much money, but they are reluctant to cut it at all. ”

Dai's voice was not small, as if he was deliberately speaking to Dong Shu, who had just left.

At least Liu Er, who was eavesdropping on the wall of his house, heard Dai's words clearly.

Hearing his mother's words, Dong Lei first sighed, and then looked at his mother and said with a little excitement: "Mother, don't be like this." Shu'er and the third son came to me today to arrange a job for me.

If I do this job well, our family will not sell my niece for twenty taels of silver in the future.

When I go to work, Miao'er's dowry and the money I married myself can earn, and I can send my younger brother to study. ”

As soon as Dong Lei finished saying this, the first person to be surprised was the uncle of the Dong family, who originally didn't talk much.

Dong Dahong looked at Dong Lei with a surprised face, and saw that his expression was serious, so he nervously swallowed the saliva in his mouth, and then opened his mouth to confirm: "Lei'er, what you said is true?" ”

Hearing Dong Dahong speak, Dai hurriedly asked, "That girl Shu'er, do you really know how to help your mother's family?" ”

Dai's voice was not small, and Liu Er, who was hiding in her yard, immediately wanted to get closer and hear it more clearly when she heard this.

But this time, Dong Lei had already taken the first step to look at his mother and whispered: "Mother, your voice is also quieter." You can't go out and talk about it, but what if someone is jealous of my work and harms me?

As for the kind of words that let Shu'er help her mother's family, you should say less in the future.

As long as we don't make trouble with Shu'er and let her live with the third son with peace of mind, the benefits will definitely not be less in the future. ”

I have to say that Dong Lei still knows his mother's mind very well, as soon as these words came out, Dai Shi immediately pinched half of his throat, looked at him and asked, "Shu'er, what kind of work did her husband arrange for you?" ”

As soon as Dai's words fell, Dong Miao also looked at his brother expectantly.

Dong Miao knew in her heart that if she wanted to marry a good family, she could only rely on her brother to make a profit.

Otherwise, according to her mother's intention a few days ago, I am afraid that at the end of this year, she will be allowed to have a family at will, so that she can exchange money for her brother to marry.

The thought of wanting to change with Dong Shu just now came to her heart, and this will also be suppressed by her.

Dong Miao is not stupid, she knows that it is impossible to marry Xu Shiqiu, the only thing she can look forward to is her brother's appearance, and then she will rely on her brother to marry a good family.

Dong Zhen also stared at his eldest brother without blinking his eyes, just now he heard his brother say that he was going to send himself to the school to read and write.

This matter is very new to him, and he is very eager to go to the school one day, and then come back to show off with his friends.

Seeing that the family was looking at him expectantly, Dong Lei immediately hooked the corners of his lips and said, "It's in charge." But first of all, I had to go to the Xu family to learn reading and accounting with the third son for a period of time.

After my leg is healed, the third prince will arrange for me to learn how to be a qualified steward from other stewards of the Xu family.

It will take about three months, and when the shop in the county is vacated and improved, I can go to work. ”

After Dong Lei's words fell, no one spoke in the hall of the Dong family.

Everyone in the Dong family, including the Dai family, thought that Dong Lei would go to the Xu family's shop to be a buddy at most, after all, he had been a buddy in the restaurant before.

They never expected that Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu would let Dong Shu do the work.

Steward, that's a steward of at least one tael of silver a month!

Dong Lei looked at his parents, brothers and sisters in surprise, his heart was actually not too calm.

The position of steward, he had indeed thought about it before today.

But he always felt that even if he had been working as a buddy in a restaurant before, if he wanted to be a steward, he would have to be at least thirty years old.

But now as long as he studies hard, he can become a steward this year.

And all this is because my cousin married a good man.

Because Dong Lei said this, no one in Dong's house spoke for a while, and Liu Er, who was hiding on the wall of his house and eavesdropping, couldn't hear anything, so he could only leave angrily, and instead thought about making something to eat, and waited for Dong Zhen to tell her tomorrow.

But she didn't know that after Dong Lei said this, he specially told the whole family that this matter must not be revealed before he went to be in charge.

What if someone is jealous of him and robs the thing?

Dong Lei knew in his heart that this possibility was almost impossible, but in order to scare his family, he still said it was very serious.

And after he said this, the family, including Dai, who wanted to go out to show off, also dispelled the idea of showing off with his cousin Xiao Dai later.

She knew that the last time Dong Shu returned to the door, her cousin Xiao Dai was even close to her.

My cousin also has a son at home, but he is two years younger than Lei'er, and he is also old enough to go out to work.

She must hold back, she can't let her cousin have the opportunity to go to Dong Shu to rob this housekeeper.

Dai's thoughts were on his face, and after Dong Lei saw that his mother had indeed put away her thoughts of showing off, he looked at Dong Zhen again and admonished.

"You are more behaved these days, and after the eldest brother goes to the county to be a steward, he will send you to the school to study, and every time he comes back in the future, he will bring you good food.

But you must not tell others about this, and you can only tell others after the eldest brother goes to the county to gain a foothold, you know? ”

Dong Lei was afraid that his mother and younger brother would show off this matter, his mother couldn't help but want to show off, and his younger brother would also show off with his friends.

As for his father, he is a person who can hide his words, and his sister is smart, and she will definitely understand what he means when he says it.

Just when the Dong family was discussing this matter, Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu also began to walk slowly towards the Xu family.

Because there was no hurry, the two of them walked all the way and enjoyed the scenery on the road all the way, and when they saw the beautiful flowers, Xu Shiqiu stopped and asked Dong Shu if she wanted to take them off and put them on for her.

Dong Shu was naturally unwilling to let Xu Shiqiu give her hairpins here, and the two of them laughed all the way back to Shihuan Courtyard, and saw several flower bones on the pomegranate tree that Xu Shiqiu had picked before.

Seeing those flower bones hidden in the leaves, Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu were stunned.

After staring at those flower bones for a while, the two suddenly looked at each other with a sharp heart, and then they both showed a sincere smile.

The happiest thing in life is that your beloved is by your side, waiting for the flowers to bloom with you.
