Chapter Eighty-Eight: Schadenfreude

The New Year is about to have a new atmosphere, Mai Xiaofang tied two silk flowers by herself, and pressed her sister hard to tie two hairbands for her. Not to mention, the things that come out of the palace are just different, and even Mai Wang, who never pays attention to trivial things, can see that the two of them are wearing better on their heads than before.

"That's, this was brought out of the palace, baby!" Mai Xiaofang stretched out her hand to touch the silk flowers, and felt excited.

What? The flowers on the heads of the two children! Rope! Actually from the palace, Shan Cuihua gathered the sisters together, and carefully studied the silk flowers and headbands with her husband and sons.

Mai Xiaohuan wanted to reach out and take off the hairband for them to study enough, but was stopped by Shan Cuihua: "You light, don't touch it endlessly, remember to bring it fresh for two days during the New Year, and put it away in a few days, you two really don't worry about holding it, or let my mother here...... It doesn't seem to work, what if someone steals it......"

Isn't it just a few flowers, a few ribbons! If the royal reward is bigger in the future, the mother probably won't do anything, just keep the baby.

Laughing secretly for a while, Mai Xiaohuan urged the second sister to go out to play quickly, and she should go back to the house to clean up.

Mai Xiaofang went out for a while, Shan Cuihua slapped her thigh with regret, the second daughter is a solid-eyed person, if someone asks her where the silk flowers came from, she will definitely tell the truth. If this spreads all over the village, my family won't want to stop this year. When she went out, she instructed, don't say that the silk flower on her head was obtained from the palace.

Should...... It's going to be fine!

In order to reduce unnecessary trouble, Mai Xiaohuan stayed at his house on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve and did not go anywhere, wrote several "Fu" characters and pasted them on the wall, on the courtyard door, Aunt Osmanthus and Yu Niniang also came to ask for words when they saw the fruit.

Mai Xiaohuan sent two blessings to each family, and asked them to take their things back, and when it was time to prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Mai Xiaofang finally returned, and Shan Cuihua hurriedly asked her if she had told others about the origin of the silk flower.

"Am I that stupid? Except for Yuni, Osmanthus and Zhaodi, I didn't tell anyone. ”

You've already told a lot, okay? If it weren't for the New Year, Mai Xiaohuan would have wanted to knock on her head, those little girls all like to visit the door, look at it! Within two days, the people of Shaxi Village would know that the sisters had things in the palace.

Last year, Mai Xiaohuan fried ten dishes, and this year, because of the richer ingredients, the table in the evening was full of sixteen dishes.

"You'd rather make it and not eat it, and don't give it to Qiu Niang and them, do you know how they spent this year?" Mai Yonghe was angry when he saw the dishes on this table, his family was here to delicate the mountains and seas, Qiu Niang only cut half a catty of meat yesterday and went home, and asked her if she was enough to eat for the New Year? She actually said that she likes to be a vegetarian, and the meat is reserved for her brother to replenish his body.

If my father and sister were more generous, where would Qiu Niang have used this kind of hard life.

Mai Xiaofangteng stood up suddenly, is he obliged to take care of those two people? If they don't have their own family help, they won't be too old, right? Big brother wants to find fault and fight today!

"Eat, eat." Mai Xiaohuan tried all her strength to press the second sister back to her seat, today is the Chinese New Year, she doesn't want to quarrel.

"After the third year of junior high school, you will go back to Qingcheng County! Anyway...... The year has passed, and it's not good to keep the county lord waiting for a long time. ”

"Snap", Shan Cuihua slapped the chopsticks on the table: "I still have the final say in this family, my daughters can live as long as they like, what do you want to send them away?" Let me tell you, if Chen Qiuniang doesn't agree to Xiao Huan's two requests, don't want to enter this house. ”

"Mother" Mai Yonghe glared at the two younger sisters fiercely, before they came back, things were going step by step according to Qiu Niang's expectations, since they came back, their parents' attitude has changed, and it is no longer as simple as acting a bitter trick by themselves.

Mai Wang, who has always talked little, put the bowl in his hand on the table, stared at his eldest son for a while and warned: "If you want to eat, be honest, if you don't want to eat, just leave!" ”

Father and mother are not on their side, my sister's attitude is even worse, and the only brother is also ignoring him now, don't they want to borrow the light of Qiu Niang's brother in the future? Qiu Niang said that Hanting's results are among the best in the county, as long as you don't cut off the expenses and prepare enough pen and ink, you will definitely be able to come back with a top prize.

Let these people regret going when the time comes!

The atmosphere was ruined by Mai Yonghe, and there was no cheerful laughter at the dinner table, and the reunion dinner dispersed early.

Going to the uncle's house to kowtow to grandma for the New Year is definitely the most headache for the sisters.

Before going out, Mai Xiaohuan stopped the second sister and untied the silk flowers on her head and the hairband on her head. Along with the new ones, they were stuffed into a cloth bag, wrapped in oilcloth, and hidden behind the rabbit cage.

Hiding such a valuable thing in such a dirty place, such an idea is probably only thought of by Mai Xiaohuan.

The two of them are not wearing the best clothes, and after dealing with grandma and aunt for so long, Mai Xiaohuan knows that these people have a common disease - pink eye, they can't see that others have good things, they eat better than them, and they can't dress well.

When the Mai Wan family arrived, the house was already full of people, and while the family was kowtowing, Mai Xiaoling actually ran to the sisters and tossed their hair.

"What about that beautiful silk flower and a sparkling headband! I heard that it came from the palace, why don't I believe it! Take it out and let us see it! "Ever since I met Mai Xiaofang on the road yesterday and saw the silk flowers she was wearing, and when I passed by the door of the second uncle's house and saw the hairband on Mai Xiaohuan's head that was shining straight by the sun, Mai Xiaoling has never forgotten these two things.

This morning, my mother went out for a walk and came back to tell herself that the things that the two girls were wearing were actually rewarded by the county lord and obtained from the palace. Mai Xiaoling's desire to possess these two things is even more urgent.

You must know that the aunt and sister-in-law will come back tomorrow, and she is not an opponent of her cousins, so she plans to strike first today.

"Since there are things in the palace, you should take them out so that everyone in the family will be happy, how can you hide them and not let them see them! Outsiders can see and touch, but their own family cannot! Finally found an excuse to teach the unfilial granddaughter, Mai Liu, the crutch knocked "Dangdang" straight sound.

"And say that I, you haven't caused trouble for your father and mother." Mai Yonghe also complained about his two younger sisters, so if the precious things are handed over to his grandmother, it is estimated that he will never be able to get them back, so it is better to give them to Qiu Niang! Even if the silk flower is not suitable for her, the hairband can always be worn! and will not be swept away by others.

For this big brother who fell into the ground, Mai Xiaohuan didn't want to say anything anymore, a man who was fascinated by women and had no interest was not to mention that he was far from being compared with Brother Qu, even compared with the second brother.

"Milk, aunt, cousin, have you ever heard that things in the palace can be transferred to others casually? If you don't understand and don't believe what I say, go to the village chief and ask if it's what I said. ”

Mai Liu's they really don't understand, three generations of grandparents, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to do. Give up? How could Mai Xiaoling be willing! It was something she had ever dreamed of.

After thinking about it for a long time, Mai Xiaoling proposed that she didn't want it, just look at it!

"Okay! But everyone is a relative, there is no reason why my cousin can see it, but my cousin can't see it, so be it! Tomorrow, when my cousins come, I will bring the things over, but the ugly words are in front, I can only see, not touch, and if the things are damaged in someone's hands, I will have to compensate. When I came back, I asked the county lord, and the county lord said that the silk flower was five taels of silver each, and the hair band was ten taels of silver. ”

That's expensive! Mai Liu and Wu wanted to retreat, but Mai Xiaoling was unwilling and insisted on watching.

After the New Year, Mai Wang, as an elder, still gave each child 20 copper plates of New Year's money.

"Oops! I said his second uncle! Your family sold sweet potatoes and peppers this year, and made a lot of money! Just give your nephew and niece twenty copper plates, how can you take it! Wu rolled his eyes and pouted, as if McWan didn't deserve to be called uncle by the children if he didn't pay more money.

"If you want to talk about New Year's money, it seems that the uncle should be the first to pay for it!" Mai Xiaofang directly skipped Mai Liu's over, because even if he said that the sky was broken, this one would not take out a copper plate.

Is Wu a person who is happy to dig out money? After standing for a long time, she put on the identity of an elder and reprimanded Mai Xiaofang: "Can our family compare with yours?" If I had a large piece of sweet potatoes to sell, if I knew the son of the county guard family and the young master of the Tang family, let alone one hundred and eighty copper plates, I would have taken out the silver. ”

Who will believe this! Anyway, Sister Mai Xiaohuan doesn't believe it.

Mai Wan no matter how his sister-in-law arranges it, he will go out after putting the New Year's money on the table.

"Yo! We were still talking just now, Yonghe's relatives have also been decided, when will we bring the new daughter-in-law over to show us! "There's nothing to do about money, and the second child is now bad at learning, and if you say yours, people shouldn't hear it.

Then let's talk about the bad things about the concubine! As soon as the incident between Mai Yonghe and Chen Qiuniang came out, but the Wu family was bad, and the second family finally had a shameful thing. Chen Qiuniang was affected by her father and became an old girl who couldn't get married, and Mai Yonghe's stupid boy even made up for people to calculate.

Seeing that Shan Cuihua was tossed by her son some time ago and was about to die, she had this evil breath in her heart! Finally half out. But why haven't you heard any movement lately? Could it be that Xiao Huan, the ghost girl, came back and made a mess, today is a good opportunity, I have to inquire about the news.
