When Mai Liu and Wu heard that the two girls actually got twenty taels of silver for the New Year's money, they both stood up excitedly, and they couldn't wait to go over and snatch the silver from them now.

"Milk, mother, you don't know that Xiao Fang and Xiao Huan are going to Qingcheng County again, it seems that this time they want to meet someone who is more powerful than the county guard!"

How can it be! Seeing the county guard is already their creation, and there are even bigger officials to meet them? Mak Liu and Wu didn't believe it at all.

But if there is no reason, how could Dou Liangfu come! She and Mai Xiaoyuan have been married for almost four years, and the number of times she has returned to Shaxi Village can be counted on both hands. He was willing to give the two sisters twenty taels of silver, and came over in person, which shows that he values the two girls very much now.

Qiao Shi felt more and more that it was important to have a good relationship with Shan Cuihua, and the help she could give herself was far stronger than that of these people around her.

Mai Xiaohuan didn't have time to care about her grandmother's thoughts, and after listening to Dou Liangfu's words, she was both old and old, and she was a little skeptical that she had made the right decision to go to Qingcheng County again.

The eldest brother-in-law is just a rich man, and his mind is so bent and bent, if he is a prince, he can't stir up the bloody wind of Xirui?

In four words, it is "your circle is too messy".

After teaching his experience to his two sisters-in-law, Dou Liangfu saw that it was not too early, and invited the sisters to live in Dou Mansion for a few days, and then set off directly from there. He will help prepare the gifts for the county guard and the Tang family, as long as the two of them mention their names in front of the county guard and Master Tang.

Mai Xiaohuan told Dou Liangfu very politely that he had to sort out his luggage to Qingcheng County, and he had to practice his calligraphy more, in case the county lord disliked his ugly handwriting, it would be a loss of face for Qu County Shou and his family. And promised that as long as there was a chance, he would be mentioned more in front of the county guard.

After receiving a satisfactory answer, Dou Liangfu took Mai Xiaoyuan's hand and got into the carriage, looking at the carriage that was gone, Mai Xiaofang couldn't help but complain about how her sister could talk big! Although the eldest brother-in-law is somewhat famous in Pingliang County, it is not worth mentioning at all in front of Qingcheng County and the Tang family, how can he be introduced to others!

Why can't you introduce it, who doesn't eat tofu! When Mai Xiaohuan leaned in the second sister's ear and said her plans, Mai Xiaofang only had one feeling, she must not provoke this sister, she was too bad.

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, it was the tenth day of the first month of the first month, Mai Xiaohuan called his father and mother into his house, pointed to the wild pepper that had sprouted on the windowsill and told them that they must take care of these seedlings, and when it is warm outside, the seedlings will be transplanted to the small vegetable garden at home when they grow up.

Shan Cuihua patted her chest and promised that she would do what she said, and Mai Wang also nodded, in this family, Mai Xiaohuan's words were more and more valued.

Early in the morning of the twelfth day of the first lunar month, Qiao took Mai Xiaomiao to carry the only ten eggs in the family and knocked on the door of Mai Wang's house.

Who's here so early? Shan Cuihua, who was cooking breakfast, wiped her hands on her apron and walked over to open the door. A few men in the family went up the mountain, thinking that if they could hunt a wild boar or roe deer, they would let their daughter bring it to the county guard and the Tang family when she went to Qingcheng County. People have given so many valuable New Year's gifts, and their own family has nothing good to give, so they can only make up their minds about the prey.

Mai Xiaofang and Mai Xiaohuan are only responsible for eating and sleeping now, Shan Cuihua doesn't even let them get cold water, not to mention, their hands are much more delicate and smooth than before. Even so, Shan Cuihua was still not at ease, afraid that the county lord would dislike that their sisters were from a small village, and they would suffer from gains and losses all day long, so they were afraid that something would happen.

The moment the door opened, Shan Cuihua thought she was dazzled! Why did my brother and sister come, they still have things, is the sun coming out of the west today?

Qiao Shi smiled wryly, it seems that the impression he left on his second sister-in-law was not very good! I really have to pay attention in the future, as long as she is willing to help herself, pull the family, and make friends with her, it is far better than relying on the mother-in-law and sister-in-law with a bad mouth.

"Second sister-in-law, can we go in and talk?" If the mother-in-law and sister-in-law knew that they had come to the second sister-in-law's house behind their backs, it would be bad.

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person with a smiling face, Shan Cuihua is a knife-mouthed tofu heart, she turned sideways to make way out, and kindly looked in the direction of Mai Xing's house, and saw that there was no one at the door of their house, so she returned to the yard with confidence.

Putting down the basket in his hand, Qiao Shi said a little embarrassedly: "I heard that Xiaofang and Xiaohuan are going out again, and there is nothing at home that can be taken out, these eggs are boiled for them and taken to eat on the road!" ”

This is ...... Shan Cuihua looked at Mai Xiaomiao who had been staring at the eggs on the side, sighed secretly and pushed the basket back and said: "You can take these eggs back to make up for the two children, Xiao Huan and the others are much better at Qingcheng County than eating at home, don't worry about it." ”

Qiao's also wants to use these ten eggs to improve the relationship between the two families! Couldn't take it back, the two pushed each other, and no one could convince anyone.

There was really no way, Shan Cuihua had no choice but to accept the eggs, she turned around and picked up two steaming snow-white steamed buns from the pot, and took a three-pound piece of pork, handed it to Qiao's, and asked her to take it back for the two children to eat.

Mai Xiaomiao's mouth made a very clear sound of swallowing saliva, and she couldn't remember the last time she ate white flour steamed buns. I can't eat it in my own house, let alone my mother's house, if there is white flour, my mother would have hid it long ago.

Or the mother is right, the milk and the aunt can't be counted on, the second aunt is easy to talk to, and generous, maybe you can really get a lot of good things from her!

Qiao's mother and mother can be said to have returned with a full load, and when they entered their own yard, Qiao's pointed to the things in the basket and told Mai Xiaomiao proudly: "In the future, we will go to your second uncle's house to walk around, do you see, their family is just a life to live!" After the New Year, there are white flour steamed buns and meat to eat. ”

Mai Xiaomiao nodded in agreement, and she could see that the best living conditions among all the relatives were the second uncle's family.

Suddenly, I thought of something, the corners of Qiao's mouth hooked slightly, and he whispered mysteriously next to his daughter's ear: "Those two girls in their family are going to enter Qingcheng County, you can go around if you have nothing to do, a little bit of eyes, help do some odd jobs, are you still worried about having no good things to take?" Ten eggs can be exchanged for meat, if you make your second aunt happy, there must be a lot of benefits. ”

"Hmm!" Mai Xiaomiao nodded obediently.

After Mai Xiaofang heard that the third aunt came to give gifts early in the morning, she smacked her lips and said, "What's wrong with all of them, can you pick up silver at the door of our house?" People who don't usually invite me have come over by themselves, the eldest brother-in-law is like this, the third aunt is like this, and even the village chief and his daughter-in-law are waving when they see me! ”

What else? It's just for the sake of knowing Qu Hao and Tang Yujun's face, otherwise, snobbish people like the eldest brother-in-law and the third aunt wouldn't take the initiative to come over to contact the relationship! Mai Xiaohuan has seen a lot of this situation, and she has long been surprised.

Mai Xiaohuan thought about reminding her mother to beware of the third aunt, and it was better to stay away from people like her. She only opened her mouth, and Shan Cuihua said: "I know what you have to say, don't worry!" I will not give our valuable and valuable things to outsiders. ”

That's good, Mai Xiaohuan doesn't want to worry about two steamed buns and a few catties of meat, she just wants to remind her mother that the third aunt can't have deep friendships, as long as she has a good face.

Mai Wang's father and son went up the mountain for five or six days in a row, until Tang Yujun and the housekeeper of the county guard came to pick them up, but they did not catch the wild boar.

"Xiao Fang...... Xiao Huan, you haven't forgotten me! I specially urged them to come over today, hurry tomorrow morning, and they will be able to return to Qingcheng County before the fifteenth, and I will take you to see the lanterns. ”

Tang Yujun circled around the Mai sisters several times, these two girls have changed, Mai Xiaofang has grown a lot taller, and people have become whiter, which is really pleasing to the eye the more you look at it.

Mai Xiaohuan has changed the most, she is no longer dry and thin, her face has grown meat, her facial features look much more exquisite, and she has changed into newly made satin clothes, how can she look more and more like Miss Everyone!

The half-grown children who came to see the excitement were envious when they heard that the Mai sisters actually had the opportunity to watch the lanterns, and Mai Xiaoling, who was hidden in the crowd, cursed in a low voice: "Two dead girls, it is best to be sold when you enter Qingcheng County, and never come back." ”

Tang Yujun didn't have the time to pay attention to those gossiping people, he only circled around Mai Xiaofang, the two of them would quarrel when they walked on the road, and they would quarrel while working, and looking at Tang Yujun's expression, the more noisy the better.

This is a pair of happy enemies, Mai Xiaohuan shook his head and went back to check what he wanted to bring, and the most important thing was not to leave the pen and paper.

What is rare is that early the next morning, Tang Yujun actually didn't stay in bed, and got up without being greeted.

Mai Xiaohuan helped the family make a big pot of braised soup yesterday, and put it in the jar after cooling, and use a spoon to scoop some when the mother stews vegetables and makes meat, which is convenient and practical.

This morning, she wrapped a big pot of steamed buns with this broth, dried wild vegetables, and pork belly, plus broken rice porridge, kimchi and braised eggs, which was not a sumptuous, but very distinctive breakfast.

Tang Yujun ate three buns and had to reach out to take them, Mai Xiaofang raised his chopsticks and wanted to knock his hand again, but was stopped by Shan Cuihua and Mai Xiaohuan.

The fourth bun was in his stomach, Tang Yujun wiped his mouth and said to Mai Xiaohuan: "Brother Qu has the most eyes, if I knew that your cooking was so delicious, I would have rushed to bow to you." When you have a day off to go back to the county guard's mansion, don't let me know, I'll go over and eat. ”

Mai Xiaofang glared at him, and said angrily: "Why are we going to the county guard mansion so old!" I saved up six days off in three months and went back to Shaxi Village to live for a few days, which my sister and I had already discussed. ”

Even if they go home, they have to follow, Tang Yujun hiccuped and made this determination "with difficulty".
