Chapter 9: The Controversy over the Wells (1)

Shan Cuihua had long guessed that her words would be rejected by the two daughters, no matter how good other people's families were, they didn't have their own families. Besides, according to her observation, these two people in the family are not like their eldest sister at all, Xiao Fang is unwilling to be restrained, and Xiao Huan does not have too many requirements for dress. If you don't want to, you don't want to, it's enough to have a big girl who can toss, and it's good for the rest of these two to find a family to marry by their side, and they can still take care of each other.

"If the girl doesn't want to go, forget it." Mai Wang suddenly spoke, his chopsticks crossed the chicken and pork, picked up the cold dish mixed by Mai Xiaohuan, chewed a few times, and the chopsticks reached out again.

After Mai Xiaohuan observed the old lady's face, she knew that she would not send herself to be a maid, so she recommended her own dishes to everyone in a very good mood: "It's not good to eat fish and meat, you can taste this, it's very refreshing, is it delicious?" ”

Mai Wang, who had already eaten half a plate of cold vegetables with steamed buns, nodded happily, so that the side dishes that served the meal were more pleasing to him, a farmer, and more to his appetite. The rest of the people nodded in approval of Mai Xiaohuan when they saw that the most capable people, and they all picked up the dish with the mentality of trying it.

"Yes, it's just right for dinner."

"My mother also thinks it's very good, you don't have to go out to buy this dish, you can just put it together, Xiao Huan, how did you tell your mother that this is done?"

…… ……

Mai Xiaohuan saw that his cooking skills had been initially recognized, and said with a smile: "This is very simple, and it doesn't take much effort, I can do it, but the materials at home are not complete, one day let the second brother take me up the mountain to find out if there is anything good that can increase the fragrance of the dish, and the dish will be more fragrant." Mother, you see that I can cook alone, so I can help cook in the future! ”

This one...... Shan Cuihua glanced at the little girl's thin body, and shook her head instinctively, she couldn't imagine what Mai Xiaohuan was like chopping vegetables and wielding a knife and shovel.

Still disliked, Mai Xiaohuan pinched her little arm and sighed, Mai Xiaofang sandwiched a piece of oily fat meat for her, and kindly told her: "Eat more meat, and your body will be better." ”

Mai Wang then silently added a piece of fat to her, Shan Cuihua also raised the chopsticks and sent it to her bowl, Mai Xiaohuan covered the bowl and shouted urgently: "I...... I can't eat so much meat at once, I can't stand it. "The point is that this meat is so fat, I have no appetite when I look at it, and I can't swallow it.

After eating, Cuihua sent Mai Xiaohuan some brown sugar and dried dates: "At home, you are weak, you should make up for it, you used to have no appetite for anything, except for gruel, you want to vomit when you smell anything, my mother just wants to make it up for you, and I don't know what to do, now it's okay, you can swallow even such unpleasant goat milk, and brown sugar is even more fine, right?" ”

Mai Xiaohuan wondered if her predecessor had anorexia, and she must not be like her, but something like brown sugar is exempt! That's the eldest sister used to honor her mother, and besides, there is no reason that the elders can still enjoy it, and the juniors will take the lead.

As if seeing through Mai Xiaohuan's thoughts, Shan Cuihua pushed the thing in front of her and said with a smile: "This thing is still in the house, and besides, Xiaofang and I are not in pain or disaster, we don't need to make up for it at all, and we can't get used to drinking things like decoction, so drink it quickly!" ”

The mother and daughter pushed for a long time, until Shan Cuihua's mouth was dry and she assured that she still had it there, and Mai Xiaohuan was willing to accept something: "Mother, when I take care of my body, cook for you, and help you work, our days will be as high as possible, and my second sister and I don't have to be maids for others, we will also become rich people." ”

Shan Cuihua laughed twice, this little girl turned around and reminded herself that she didn't want to be a maid, it's just that the family can't afford to eat, the sisters don't want to, and she will never force them.

Letting go of her worries, Shan Cuihua went back to the house to sleep, Mai Wang wanted to remind her to find clothes for a few nieces, and she was afraid that her daughter-in-law would be unhappy at night. Anyway, the mother just said to find some material for a few children, and didn't say when to send it, if the daughter-in-law doesn't look for it in a few days, it's not too late to remind herself. ”

Breakfast at home is generally made by Shan Cuihua herself, when the farm is busy, she will fry two dishes, and when she is not busy, she will cook some porridge, small pickles, and some dry food to make do with a meal. Mai Wang also got up early to clean up the yard, and when Mai Yonghe and Mai Yonghai got up to add some forage to the cows and sheep, he now has another job, milking a bowl of goat's milk for the little girl every morning.

The lamb is getting bigger and bigger, and he can already eat some tender grass, and he doesn't love milk as much as he did some time ago, so Mai Wan is now milking Mai Xiaohuan in a clay pot, and Shan Cuihua once teased him, this is to feed his daughter like a lamb.

Mai Xiaohuan will not dislike a lot of goat milk! She quietly told Mai Xiaofang that washing her face with goat's milk can whiten. At first, Mai Xiaofang didn't believe it, but later saw that her sister's face seemed to be better after washing for a few days, and it was a little slippery to the touch, so she mustered up the courage to try. Mai Xiaohuan also wiped her body with extra goat's milk, she didn't want to be disliked by everyone all the time and looked at as an ugly duckling, even if she couldn't become a white swan, at least she had to become a white rabbit.

After the family had eaten, Shan Cuihua and a few people changed their clothes, and were about to go down to the ground to have a look, when they saw Mai Laosan's daughter-in-law Qiao Shi trotting into the yard: "Second brother and second sister-in-law, go and have a look!" The sister-in-law circled the well into their yard, so that it was inconvenient for our two families to have water, not to mention, the three acres of land that the second grandfather gave us were also occupied by her. ”

This man...... Shan Cuihua didn't know how to say that the Wu family was good, it was obviously a matter discussed yesterday, and the two of them changed their minds in private, they really couldn't take advantage of that guy. However, the third family is not a good thing, and if you want to be a bird, there is no door.

Shan Cuihua asked Mai Wan to take her little son to the field, she went back to the house to change the clothes for work, and rummaged through the cabinets to find the clothes sent by the three big girls last year. She thought while looking for it, she would make new clothes for the two girls in the future, and it would be a pity to give such a good thing to others.

She asked her eldest son to hold the clothes, and whispered that she was not allowed to send the materials out without her own orders, even if her mother-in-law opened her mouth.

"Hmmm! The son remembered. Mai Yonghe nodded obediently, he was the most obedient child in the family, and he had always obeyed commands.

Qiao's eyes turned around on a few pieces of clothing, and secretly praised the things in the county town is good, where have the people in this flower village ever seen, if the girl wears such a dress to go out, the neighbors will praise it, the pink flower below is the best-looking, and he will want it in a while.

Shan Cuihua pretended not to understand Qiao's thoughts, and walked towards Mai Xing's house, Mai Xiaofang also wanted to follow and was pulled by her sister: "Second sister, let's not go and make trouble, it will be bad if you fall into the well, mother, eldest brother, you should stay away from the well, and if it really doesn't work, we won't fight, it's a big deal to spend some money to dig a well yourself." ”

The two mothers who had already walked to the gate of the courtyard looked back at Mai Xiaohuan, this child has changed a lot since he got sick a year ago.
