Chapter 155: Nothing to do
After nearly two months of recuperation, Shan Cuihua's back injury is finally almost healed. Tang Yujun and Mak Xiaofang chose February 18 as the date of their marriage. Mai Xiaohuan was sent back as the vanguard to clean the house, decorate the living room, and tidy up the yard......
How good it is to settle down in the villa, you don't have to work hard. The mother's body is not good, and the second sister is not good at this time, so she has to complete everything by herself, and she has to take her own life.
"Xiao Huan, why did you come back alone, aren't there any people in the villa? Let them do it! Yu Niniang and Aunt Guihua, who came to visit the neighbors, asked curiously, in Shaxi Village, even the three-year-old children knew that the Mai family had made a fortune, and when the women got together to chat, they were envious that Shan Cuihua could finally live a life of maids and mothers-in-law.
How did their daughters clean up the house by themselves today, is the family ruined?
Mai Xiaohuan was busy coming over alone, she brought two people back to help, and they dismantled and changed the bedding in her father's house. I went to the living room to clean and check where to add things and what things to remove, and happened to meet enthusiastic neighbors.
"Aunt Zhao, Aunt Osmanthus, you two sit, didn't I just come back? Go around. ”
"Where's your mother? Why did you come back alone? Without waiting for the answer she wanted, Yu Niniang continued to ask.
Mai Xiaohuan replied with a smile: "My father and mother will be back in two days." ”
"Is there something going on at home? Then tell us in advance, the neighborhood has lived in the neighborhood for so many years, don't see it! Aunt Osmanthus also came over, her daughter was the same age as Mai Xiaofang, and she intended to say it to Mai Yonghai, but she didn't know if the Mai family was developed and would dislike her own children.
"When my mother comes back, the two aunts will ask her!" It's always hard for a little girl to talk about her sister's marriage, so let my father and mother say some things!
It didn't take long for the news of Mai Xiaohuan's return to Shaxi Village to reach Wu's ears, she originally wanted to be reserved and wait for this niece to come to see her, she was not in a hurry, Mai Xiaoling was in a hurry! After the New Year, she is sixteen, and the rich aunt has never appeared, and her mother has now narrowed down the scope back to Pingliang County, and if she doesn't give herself a chance, she will only marry next year.
Her heart is now occupied by Zhou Yue, no matter how rich or statusful other men are, she can't look down on them, this infatuation even touches herself, and she is also ready to stage a talent with Zhou Yue...... In order to prepare for elopement without hesitation for love, I have even imagined countless times what life I will live in the future.
It's not that she feels that she doesn't deserve the title of beauty, it's just that there are too many shining points on her body, and she can't accurately describe it in one word, it's too tangled!
Seeing the uninvited mother and daughter, Mai Xiaohuan handed over the list of things to be added to the coachman, and asked him to go into the county to find his eldest sister, and come back as soon as possible after all the things were purchased.
Five days later is the right day to get married, and I only have three days to decorate the house, so I can't do it if I don't hurry!
New tables and chairs, red paper, melons and fruits and red lanterns, the second family is going to have a happy event again! Wu came to Mai Xiaohuan in a few steps, grabbed her two arms, and his gossip eyes sparkled.
"Auntie, cousin, you sit inside."
What I wanted to hear was not this, Wu refused to let go, or Mai Xiaoling forcibly broke her hand and rescued Mai Xiaohuan.
"Xiao Huan! How did you come back alone? If you ask people to buy things, are your whole family going to move back in? "When is that handsome boy coming! If it weren't for his face, he wouldn't care what this girl wanted to do?
Why are the people who come here today so curious! Mai Xiaohuan didn't say anything to Yu Niniang and Aunt Osmanthus, and it was impossible to tell the truth in the face of the Wu family. Three days is enough time for her to use her imagination and make up countless rumors, how can she explain to the Tang family and her father and mother when the time comes!
"It's my mother's body that has recovered, and she has been lying in bed for more than two months, and she wants to go home to see it the most, so won't I come back to clean it?"
Lie!
Deceitful!
The mother and daughter were surprisingly unanimous on this issue, and they both felt that Mai Xiaohuan was not telling the truth.
Wu knew that he would not tell the truth if he asked Mai Xiaohuan again, so he habitually looked around, it was all here, how could he go back without making some benefits! Every time he returns to Shaxi Village, Mai Xiaohuan will put away the valuable things before doing other things, which is the experience summed up after a long-term battle of wits and courage with his eldest mother.
Look at it casually, the valuable things will only arrive the day after tomorrow, and now the family also orders rice noodles, and she is watching it here, is she really embarrassed to take it away?
"I'll do the work for you! Mother, you go back to cook, and let Xiao Huan go over to eat at noon. Mai Xiaoling avoided her cousin's surprised gaze, picked up the rag and began to wipe the table.
Mai Xiaohuan, who felt incredulous, and Wu, who looked up to see if the sun in the sky was rising in the wrong direction, couldn't guess which one Mai Xiaoling was singing? Of course, Mai Xiaohuan wouldn't go to the eldest mother's house for dinner, but she couldn't help but go to see her grandmother Mai Liu's, and a group of people gathered around without chatting a few words before they dispersed.
After two days of arrangement, the family finally has the appearance of a happy event, Mai Xiaoyuan personally came to deliver things, her waist is now straighter and straighter, and she was picked up by Dou Liangfu by the arm, like a proud lady, and Dou Liangfu played the role of his personal entourage.
"You go and watch the next person move things, and I'll say a few words to Xiao Huan." Mai Xiaoyuan commanded Dou Liangfu in a slightly impatient and disgusted tone.
"Okay, you talk, you talk."
Looking at Dou Liangfu who walked away obediently, Mai Xiaohuan lowered his voice and said to the eldest sister: "Don't go too far, your brother-in-law is not your subordinate." ”
Hum! If her mother's family had the current financial resources seven or eight years ago, the little sister could give so many dividends and the family could marry the Tang family, she wouldn't marry this old and ugly man even if she closed her eyes!
Now that I feel wronged by him like this, Mai Xiaohuan really doesn't like such an eldest sister. There are five brothers and sisters in the family, and the eldest sister and eldest brother are at least seven points similar in conduct, as a younger sister, I really don't know what to say about them.
Even Mai Xiaoyuan and his wife are back, at this time, if anyone still says that the second family has nothing to do, just come back to see, Wu will not believe anything. Mai Liu's heart was also like a cat scratched by her daughter-in-law, and she decided to ask her two granddaughters to come over and ask what their family wanted to do when they came back this time.
"My Xiaofang is married!"
Mai Liu asked according to what his daughter-in-law taught, but Mai Xiaoyuan didn't pay attention to the expression on his sister's face, so he answered casually.
Engagement! Why didn't you hear any wind beforehand? Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, you look at me, I look at you, and I was so shocked by the news that I forgot what I was going to say next.
"Which family do you marry! Do we know each other? Mai Xiaoling was also more concerned about this issue, and at the same time prayed in her heart that she would not be that handsome son.
"Of course it's the Tang family, why didn't Xiao Huan tell you? Ah! I'm not mouthing too fast. Mai Xiaoyuan, who covered his mouth, only then remembered to look at his sister's face.
Mai Xiaohuan doesn't even bother to say the word late now, the eldest sister is really good, and the secret that she has carefully kept for several days has been shaken out by her.
"Soup...... It won't be the Tang family of the richest man in Qingcheng County! The Wu family hoped that he had heard it wrong, but he understood in his heart that the second child and the Tang family had been in contact so frequently, and there were really a lot of strange things that the two families would get married.
God is too unfair, why is the daughter of the second family married better than the other, and his own daughter has not even landed until now. Xiao Fang is only fifteen, Xiao Ling is sixteen, if only he could give this son-in-law to his daughter, then he is the richest Tang family in Qingcheng County! Why did you fall in love with the grumpy and unruly Xiaofang? The vision is really not good.
"You two children, why are you talking about it now! There is no preparation at home, so the old and the young have to change into new clothes! Prepare some melons, fruits, and fish! The day after tomorrow is the right day, and now Zhang Luo doesn't know if it's too late. "Mai Liu really wants to give her little granddaughter a crutch, this child is too strict, if she doesn't ask today, when is she going to hide it, don't you want to let herself participate?
Seeing that grandma was about to get angry, Mai Xiaohuan had to explain: "My mother has prepared the new clothes of several elders, this time is not a marriage after all, the juniors don't have to follow the busy work, the day after tomorrow, the two families will meet, change the Geng sticker, and have another meal, no need to deliberately show up." ”
Hearing that she had made new clothes for herself, Mai Liu's anger disappeared mostly, but as soon as she heard her granddaughter's perfunctory attitude, she immediately took out the posture of the elders and taught Mai Xiaohuan a lesson: "The marriage should also be grand, we should set it up for ten tables, no, twenty tables, and celebrate well." "It's best to let the people of Shaxi Village see that the granddaughter of the Lao Mai family has married into Qingcheng County, and she is the richest man in the Tang family, so it makes people's blood boil when they think about it.
"This is a request made by the Tang family, people don't want to make a big deal, and it's not easy for us to make the city full of wind and rain."
Mai Liu really wanted to say why he couldn't let others know that what a long face was, and now his granddaughter was too petty. She did not agree with her granddaughter's statement, so she gathered all the family members and asked her son and grandson to send letters to relatives' houses, inviting them to come the day after tomorrow.
These people are also fast, and they didn't give Mai Xiaohuan a chance to speak, so they went their separate ways.
Looking at the good things you have done, Mai Xiaohuan glared at the eldest sister helplessly, the Tang family said that it would be good to be simple, and my father and mother agreed. When we came, we discussed that we would entertain the Tang family at our home at noon, and have a meal with my grandmother and uncle in the evening, and the second sister's marriage ceremony would be completed.
As a result, the eldest sister said this, grandma can't find everyone she knows to witness this historical moment, tomorrow she has to find a chef, borrow tables and chairs, and buy ingredients, and the eldest sister can really find things to do for herself.
