Chapter 15 Favors that are not easy to receive

Just when Mai Xiaohuan was about to fall asleep, the ox cart suddenly stopped and woke her up, is this home? She opened her eyes in a daze, ready to get out of the car.

There was a flatbed carriage parked across the road, and the handlebar was talking to the Mai family's father and son, and Mai Xiaohuan listened for a while before she figured out that the carriage was actually the eldest sister's family, and it was to deliver things to her own house in Shaxi Village.

"Our lord and wife feel sorry for the girl's thin body, so they sent some supplements over, and our lord also said that when these are used up, send someone to the county seat to inform them, and our house will send some more." A woman in the car, with a pair of eyes, swept around on the Mai family's ox cart.

The old man should be talking about the thin and small girl! These eyes are bright enough, smart enough, and the facial features are exquisite, but they are too thin, it seems that the master wants to raise people well, and they may come in handy in the future.

Mai Xiaohuan didn't expect that the mother-in-law would mention herself, although she couldn't guess the thoughts of Dou Liangfu and the eldest sister, and her intuition told her that these two people might not have any good intentions.

Of course, it was Mai Yonghai who opened his mouth, and after he politely sent away the Dou family, he stared at Mai Xiaohuan for a long time and came up with a reason, it seems that he can only wait until he goes home and asks his mother to know the reason.

When the ox cart arrived home, Shan Cuihua was already waiting at the door with a smile, and before her son and daughter could greet her, she crackled and said: "Xiaoyuan just sent someone to give Xiao Huan some brown sugar, jujube and medicine to nourish the body, and said that after eating, just send someone to Dou's house to get it!" "There are enough three catties of brown sugar and two catties of jujubes, as well as more than a dozen packets of decoction, which are worth a lot of money together, can Shan Cuihua not be happy?

The eldest sister really sent something to herself, not only Mai Xiaohuan was shocked, but even Mai Yonghai and Mai Xiaofang were surprised, and they couldn't understand what kind of madness this person was smoking. Who doesn't know that Mai Xiaohuan was the one she didn't look down on the most before, and every time they met, she would be sarcastic, and she quarreled with her for this Mai Xiaofang.

"Let's go back!" Mai Yonghai always felt that there was some conspiracy here, and he couldn't figure it out if he wanted to talk about it. All he could do was to remind his parents to be careful and not to think too simply.

A table in the main room was full of paper bags, there were more than 20 large and small, and after Mai Xiaofang circled around the table twice, she pretended to be jealous and said, "Why didn't the eldest sister say that she would give me some good things, I am also growing up!" ”

"If the second sister likes it, just use it and use it." Mai Xiaohuan firmly believes that it is a medicine that is poisonous, and he is not how serious his illness is, insisting on exercise and food supplements is the most suitable plan for his body conditioning at present.

"And the herbs! You can't eat it indiscriminately, and it will be bad if someone puts it in and orders something. Mai Xiaofang opened a packet of medicine and examined it carefully, she never believed that her eldest sister would change her attitude all of a sudden, and she suddenly showed favor to her sister, and she must not have any good intentions.

I have a total of three daughters, and there are two of them who are sworn enemies, Shan Cuihua slapped Mai Xiaofang hard and scolded: "What do you say about a dead girl!" Your eldest sister kindly sent these supplements, but you still have to be disgusted by you, it's really good to be reciprocated, what idea can she have, can she still sell Xiao Huan. ”

Even if she won't sell herself, it is estimated that she has some idea, Mai Xiaohuan looked down at her small body without a few taels of meat, and she felt distressed, but she had her own plan and didn't want to get cheap to the Dou family and her eldest sister.

She pointed to the things on the table and explained to Shan Cuihua: "I am still a child, I can eat and supplement as much as possible without medical supplements, these Chinese medicine mothers boil to replenish the body, and after a few days, they will have more strength to cut wheat." ”

"Nonsense, my mother is like this, what else do you want to make up?" Shan Cuihua shook her body and said unconvinced, she has always thought that she is in good health, and she rarely even has a headache and brain fever, where can she use these things.

Seeing that she couldn't convince her mother for a while, Mai Xiaohuan stopped thinking about continuing to persuade her, anyway, she didn't plan to use the things that the Dou family "specially" gave to her, there were medicinal materials like astragalus on the mountain, and it didn't take much effort to dig it herself.

Mai Xiaohuan shook off the big coat, opened the paper bag inside, and handed the warm bun to Shan Cuihua and Mai Yonghe, and asked them to eat it while it was hot, otherwise it would not smell good when it was cold.

The sisters then left the house, and they were in Shan Cuihua's how to eat meat stuffed buns, Mai Xiaofang went to chop vegetables to feed the chickens, and Mai Xiaohuan picked some tender grass and leaves to feed the rabbits.

At dinner, in addition to sorghum rice, there were two steaming steamed buns on the table, and Shan Cuihua pushed the buns in front of the sisters and asked them to eat quickly. Mai Yonghai told his father and mother that when he went up the mountain in a few days, he would help his sister dig astragalus and pick wolfberries, and the things sent by the eldest sister should be kept by his father and mother! A few of them won't follow suit.

I don't know what these people are worried about, they are sisters, can Xiaoyuan have any bad intentions? Thinking of Dou Liangfu, Shan Cuihua herself was a little unsure. Since the children refused to tell the truth, they pretended not to understand, so they put the medicine first, and drank it by themselves one day.

A few days later, Mai Xiaohuan took her second sister up the mountain to pick raspberries, she planned to make some jam and bring food to everyone when the wheat was harvested in a few days. Her main purpose of going up the mountain was to pick shiitake mushrooms and see the sweet potato.

The two sisters were walking and playing, and Mai Xiaofang's attention was focused on flowers and small animals, and she didn't notice what was in her sister's back basket.

The two picked a lot of wolfberries, and when they went down the mountain, they also picked up a nest of bird eggs, and when they went home, Mai Xiaohuan quickly cleaned up the mushrooms, blanched them with hot water, put them in a basin of cold water twice, and hurriedly put them on the cutting board to chop them. She was afraid that the second brother would be scolded again when he remembered that he picked the mushrooms last time, so she had to give the mushrooms a deformation meter.

There was lard at home, and with some spices added, the sisters began to make steamed dumplings. When the lid of the pot was lifted, the fragrance immediately filled the entire yard, Mai Xiaofang swallowed her saliva, reached out and grabbed one and bit it, and refused to let go even if she inhaled hot.

Mai Xiaofang praised vaguely: "Xiao Huan, second sister will ...... in the future." I'll do the chores for you, you...... This cooking craft...... Better than our mother. ”

That is, I used to live alone outside for several years, I could cook at home, and I received countless compliments, if it wasn't for this incredible accident, I might have become a good wife and mother now.

It is impossible to come back to the days that have passed, what is the use of nostalgia, finding a way to make money, so that your family and yourself can live a richer life is the most important thing to care about now.

After a while, Mai Xiaohuan rolled up her sleeves and made a pot of egg drop soup, the meals were ready, and she just waited for the family to come back and start the meal.
