After Mai Xiaohuan's explanation, Lin finally knew the purpose of the two carriages, and she praised Mai Xiaofang for her life, while observing Mai Xiaohuan's expression, wanting to see if there was any change in her young lady-like life.

If Mai Xiaohuan was a real ancient, he might be immersed in the life of the so-called eldest lady in the past three months. But she is not, she understands that if she wants to change her life, she can only rely on her own efforts and create with her own hands, and now she can only look up to those who are on top, and she is not qualified to compare with them.

Qu Zhiyi and Lin looked at Mai Xiaohuan's performance and smiled, this child is really good, where he can help her in the future, he will definitely do his best.

When Qu Hao sent the sisters down to rest, he took a test of Mai Xiaohuan's study by the way, and was very surprised by her rapid progress, and was very relieved and felt sorry for her at the same time.

The county lord should have been reading and practicing calligraphy since he was five or six years old, but Mai Xiaohuan only started to contact books when he entered the winter last year, and there should have been a gap of two or three years between the two people, but she didn't expect that she only took a few months to catch up, how much effort does it take to do it!

Early the next morning, the sisters had breakfast and hurried into the carriage, and at noon they simply ate in the carriage, and in the evening they did not find a place to stay until it was dark. The next day, when it was still gray outside, their carriage set off again.

When the carriage entered Pingliang County, it was the time for the people to have breakfast, Mai Xiaohuan invited the two coachmen to eat meat buns and white rice porridge, if they hadn't accelerated their speed, how could they have returned to Pingliang County in a little more than a day!

When I entered the village, I didn't meet a few people on the road, and the gate of my house was closed, so where did everyone go? Mai Xiaofang patted her head and remembered that it was the season to finish planting and weeding the wheat field, no wonder there was no one at home. Mai Xiaofang climbed over the wall and opened the gate from the inside, asked the coachman to drive the car in, invited them to drink water, rested, and pulled her sister to run to her own field.

When she saw a few busy figures in the field from a distance, Mai Xiaofang shouted with a crying voice: "Dad, mother, Xiaohuan and I are back." ”

Shan Cuihua thought she was hallucinating! Rubbing her ears and continuing to work, Mai Xiaofang simply left her sister and ran into the wheat field, hugged Shan Cuihua's waist and cried.

Oops! It's really her daughter back, it turns out that she was calling herself just now, not dreaming. Shan Cuihua threw away her hoe, turned around and hugged Mai Xiaofang, and looked at the little girl who was standing on the ground and grinning at her.

"Let's go, go home, I'm not going to do it today." Shan Cuihua waved her hand, full of style, Mai Wan and the two brothers picked up the hoe with a smile, and the family of six walked back with a smile.

When they met neighbors and the elderly in the village on the way, the sisters would take the initiative to say hello, and when they met Yu Ni who went to the field to deliver water, Mai Xiaofang chatted with her with laughter, looking at the heat, as if they hadn't seen each other for several years.

When he returned home, Mai Xiaohuan first went to see his wild pepper seedlings, which were not bad, and there were dozens of transplanted trees. Mai Wan also told the little girl that the sweet potatoes were also planted in the ground, and they were all made as she said, and he would take her to see them tomorrow.

Mai Xiaohuan changed out of satin clothes, put on a cotton skirt, tied an apron, pushed Shan Cuihua to the side to rest, and prepared to cook lunch alone.

Mai Xiaofang, who had talked enough with her good friends outside, tasted the aroma of the food when she walked to the door, she stuck out her tongue, patronized and chatted by herself, and forgot all about business. How can you let your sister work alone!

Mai Yonghai's emotional voice sounded in the courtyard: "Xiao Huan! Why don't you go and discuss with the county lord, and then go back to study when the family's farm work is done, and the second brother doesn't need you to do anything, just cook some delicious meals every day. ”

Now Shan Cuihua is gone, good boy, he does the work in the field every day, and he has to get up early and cook for their grandfather greedily, but as soon as the little girl who cooks better comes back, he immediately changes his face, and he really goes to the house to uncover the tiles without beating for a day.

Worried that there were outsiders, Shan Cuihua nodded his youngest son's head with her finger and asked him to wait for the account to be calculated later. After watching the excitement, seeing that the second sister was also back, Mai Xiaohuan said that there was her own work outside, so let the two of them hurry up and go into the house to pack up the treasures they brought back!

At first glance, there were more than a dozen burdens, Shan Cuihua was also startled, and when she listened to Mai Xiaohuan's explanation, she hurried over to check those things, the materials were all good, most of them were six or seven layers new, and some people in the village may not be able to wear such materials for the New Year. The girl said that there are still clothes given by the county lord's grandmother, and the materials are better than the ones the eldest girl brought back.

The two of them had a meal in the house, and only cleaned up half of it when the meal was served at noon, and Mai Xiaofang said that her family couldn't wear so much, so it was better to give some away. Shan Cuihua picked up this one and looked at it, a little reluctant; I took it and looked at it, and I felt that it was a pity, but unless I really couldn't wear it and couldn't use it, she put it away.

In the afternoon, Mai Xiaohuan followed to the field, Shan Cuihua was afraid that the two daughters would get tanned, so she gave each of them a straw hat, and only let Mai Xiaohuan wander around the sweet potato field, but they were not allowed to go to the field to weed.

After returning home, Mai Xiaohuan focused on the importance of weeding in the sweet potato field, how to store wild peppers, and told the family how to plant millet seeds. Mai Yonghai smiled and teased that his sister was different when she read a book, and she spoke with a straight head.

Now Mai Xiaohuan is no longer afraid that his family will have questions, everything can be answered with "what he saw in books", although those books and experiences are not known how many years away from this dynasty.

Mai Xiaofang is a little strange, how can there be these contents in the book that the county lord reads? She still recognizes some simple words and her own name, but she has never heard the master talk about how to grow sweet potatoes and wild peppers.

The next day, Shan Cuihua sent her youngest son to send a letter to the Dou family, telling them that the two daughters were back, and when Mai Xiaofang knew about it, Mai Yonghai estimated that he had already arrived in the county.

Dou Liangfu came with Mai Yonghai, they brought more than a dozen family members over, and after arriving at Mai's house, they asked Mai Yonghe to take a group of people to the ground. With the help of these people, at least until Mai Xiaohuan leaves, the Mai family will not have to work in the fields.

"Xiao Fang has turned white, Xiao Huan looks very much like Miss Everybody now, this is different from reading with the county lord!" Mai Xiaoyuan held back her jealousy and praised her sisters.

If he had such an opportunity back then, how could he marry this old and ugly man. There is a mother-in-law who finds fault with herself all day long, not to mention, but also has to raise a bunch of women and their children, and every morning when she wakes up and thinks of her life, she feels wronged. I hope that my sister will be able to fight for her luck and make friends with the county lord, so that she can win the power of the Dou family, stabilize her position, and then clean up those little sluts one by one, why use the money belonging to her son to support those who eat white rice.

The eldest sister's attitude has changed more now, and she is much gentler in front of herself and her sister, Mai Xiaofang smiled and didn't reply. Mai Xiaohuan knew that Dou Liangfu was coming for herself, and in order to make her eldest sister's life in the Dou family better, she picked up some things that could be said and did not involve any privacy and told the two of them.

Dou Liangfu listened very seriously, the jealousy on Mai Xiaoyuan's face became more and more obvious, and he secretly sighed that these two girls were really good fate, and even if the person who asked for marriage in the family in the future was not a showman, he would be the young master of a rich family! It's better than you are.

In the evening, the two stayed overnight for the first time, and Dou Liangfu also begged Mai Xiaohuan to ask for a book used by the county lord and a pen used by the county guard's son when he came back.

"Why?" Mai Xiaofang asked curiously.

Dou Liangfu straightened his stomach and said kindly: "It is said that Qu Gongzi has good knowledge and will be a champion in the future, and my son will definitely succeed in learning if he uses the pen and ink he has made." As for the things used by the county lord? Your sister is pregnant again, and the doctor says it's probably a girl, so if that's the case, can you also get the blessings of the county lord? ”

Mai Xiaohuan really doesn't like his brother-in-law, he has never seen someone more snobbish and opportunistic than him since he grew up.

She went back to the house and sent a book of annotated "Thousand Family Poems" sent by Qu Hao to the eldest sister, explaining: "This is a book sent by Brother Qu, I have read it almost, you can take it back and show it to the two little nephews, some of the annotations on it are written by Brother Qu himself." As for the county lord's things, don't think about it, every day after class, even the waste paper written by the county lord will be taken away by a special person, and the books will not be able to have fewer corners. ”

The county lord is different! Mai Xiaoyuan began to take the trouble to inquire about the life of the county lord, but Mai Xiaohuan refused to disclose it on the grounds that he only accompanied him to study and did not know anything else. Mai Xiaofang doesn't know as much as her sister? Besides, she was angry when she saw the eldest sister with a longing look in her eyes, and she wanted to compare with the county lord to see what was going on, and the answer she gave was only "I don't know".

Dou Liangfu and his family stayed for another morning before going back, and there was only a day and a half left before they went back, and Mai Xiaohuan began to talk to his family about going back alone. Shan Cuihua and Mai Wang disagreed, because Mai Xiaofang became more and more good-looking after raising it for a few months, if she could marry someone who was promising, who would want her daughter to marry a farmer. Those who come and go in the wind and rain all year round, and then the people who are smart will become yellow-faced women after a few years of such a life.

One afternoon and one night, Mai Xiaohuan didn't convince the family, Mai Xiaofang felt at home at first, and she didn't want to go to Qingcheng County again.

Listening to what her mother said, she is a little alive again, what should she do?

Early the next morning, Mai Xiaohuan adjusted a large pot of meat filling, planning to wrap a pot of white bread for his father and mother before leaving, the work at home was done by the people brought by Dou Liangfu, and his father and mother had to remove the grass in the bean field after two days, and they should make up for it while they are free now.
