Chapter 4 Brother-in-law is equal to tofu
The next day, when it was still gray outside, Shan Cuihua urged the family to get up quickly, and Mai Xiaofang pressed her sister, who was about to get up, and said angrily: "You lie down!" It's enough for the five of us to be busy, and if the eldest sister comes back once a month, our little life will have to be tossed by her sooner or later. ”
Mai Xiaohuan sat up with the quilt on her sleeve to help the second sister hand over the clothes, she also felt the same way, even if the eldest sister came back, even if there was fish and meat to eat, she didn't feel fragrant.
Thinking of eating, Mai Xiaohuan also lost sleepiness, and he had to boil and drink the goat's milk before the eldest sister came back.
When the sisters opened the door, the rest of the family was already in place, and Maiwan was sweeping out of the door with a big broom. Mai Yonghe carried the flat shoulder to the mountain to fetch spring water, because Mai Xiaoyuan said that he had a stomachache when he drank well water, and Mai Yonghai was busy cleaning up the cattle and sheep pens, and the smell in the yard was so big that he smoked the married aunt and grandmother!
It seems that I have to milk the goat by myself this morning, Mai Xiaohuan found the basin to wash his hands, took out a coarse porcelain bowl, and slowly groped his way to the sheepfold.
Mai Xiaofang, who helped Shan Cuihua pick vegetables, was busy for a while, and when she turned around to find her sister, she looked around and didn't even see a figure.
"Xiao Huan, Xiao Huan, where have you been?" Mai Xiaofang shouted and ran out of the yard.
After sweeping the gate, Mai Wang, who came in with a broom, also followed him to find someone in the yard, although he didn't talk much, but he cared for his children no less than others.
"Oops! Sheepfold. Mai Xiaofang patted herself on the head, that girl must have seen that everyone else was busy, so she went to milk the goat alone. She doesn't seem to weigh as much as the goat! In case of...... Can you win in case of a fight with a sheep?
Mai Wang was also afraid that the little girl would make a mistake, so she strode into the sheepfold, and saw Mai Xiaohuan holding the bowl with one hand and her cheeks in a daze, she really didn't know how to squeeze goat's milk! Mai Wang took the bowl, picked it up and put it outside the sheepfold, Mai Xiaofang went up and slapped her sister twice on the back, and she dared to make trouble if she didn't see her for a while.
Here, Shan Cuihua's mother and daughter made a simple breakfast, vegetable porridge and steamed cakes, as well as small pickles. Mai Xiaohuan got one more egg than others, she pushed the egg in front of her father, she didn't do anything all day long, and it was good to have goat's milk to drink.
Mai Wangleng for a moment, and put the egg back in front of the little girl, Mai Xiaohuan handed the egg to the second sister again, was taken by Shan Cuihua, neatly broken, opened, and the white and tender egg fell into Mai Xiaohuan's bowl, now there is no need to give it away, Mai Xiaohuan whispered: "Thank you, thank you, thank you, Dad." He buried himself in eating.
Shan Cuihua touched Mai Xiaohuan's yellowed hair with her rough hands and said with a smile: "You can afford to eat an egg a day, give them to eat, one egg is not enough for a tooth sacrifice?" When our chicks grow up this year, cook it in a pot so that you can eat enough. ”
Mai Xiaohuan nodded in agreement, he had to take care of his body as soon as possible, and then find a way to help his family live a good life. No longer push around just to eat an egg, no longer let everyone live in peace just to welcome a little rich man.
After eating, the two sisters cleaned up the table and went back to the house to discuss the pattern of the purse, they were not interested in Mai Xiaoyuan and the rich brother-in-law.
"Yo! Is this Xiaoyuan coming back? It tastes so fragrant, our mother hasn't had breakfast yet, so let me take some food back! "Mai Xiaohuan's aunt Wu went straight to the stove when she entered the hospital, the taste is really fragrant, how much meat does it take to get such a strong aroma!
Shan Cuihua didn't stop her, and said unhurriedly: "My eldest daughter is coming back, and this time my son-in-law will follow." ”
Wu retracted his hand that had touched the side of the pot, it turned out that Dou Da Fortune was coming, so he didn't dare to fight the idea of this meat, in case the concubine complained to the rich man's wife, it would be strange if the family and mother-in-law knew that they didn't train themselves.
She smirked twice and complained to Shan Cuihua and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier if the rich lady wants to come back, and my third brother and sister will come over to help you with your work." With that, he rolled up his sleeves and put on a posture of preparing for a big job.
"The eldest lady must smell the smell of meat, this person's face is the thickest, the third aunt is clearly wanting, she even wants to take it, and she is not soft at all." Mai Xiaofang was lying on the window watching the play, and did not forget to turn around and chat with her sister from time to time.
Shan Cuihua asked Wu: "Is there something wrong with my sister-in-law?" While I still have time to spare, if I can reach out and help you do it, I'm afraid I won't be able to pull out when the big girl comes back in a while. ”
The implication is that you have nothing to do, if you have nothing to do, you can leave, and I will have guests in a while!
The rich man is going to be a guest, so how many people who lack heart and eyes will leave at this juncture! After a while, I will say a few nice words to compliment the rich man Dou, and some things flowing out of people's fingers are enough for their own use for a while.
She just regrets not bringing everyone in the family now, especially the old lady, who is the eldest elder in the third room of the Mai family, and her granddaughter and grandson-in-law shouldn't have given a special meeting gift! In the past, all I sent were snacks and food, and the fabrics were only gray silk and blue silk, and I and my daughter couldn't wear them.
I heard that the rich lady gave Xiaofang and Xiaohuan a lot of brightly colored flower fabrics, and I didn't see these two girls wear them out, if they wore them and were seen by themselves, how could they find an excuse to ask for a few feet to make a small coat for Xiaoling and Xiaohui. But these two dead girls either don't wear them, or they wear them for two days during the New Year, and they can't ask for things for the New Year, so they can only be in a hurry.
"Yo! Xiao Fang and Xiao Huan! "Their sister is coming back, and she has to dress up well, and if she doesn't wear new clothes now, are she still waiting to get married and press the bottom of the box?
Shan Cuihua and Wu's concubine have known her very well for many years, and know that she has always been thinking about the new clothes and new flowers of the two daughters. Shan Cuihua patted the stool next to her and beckoned Wu to come over and sit, since she didn't want to go, she had to accompany her.
Mai Xiaofang pouted at her sister, shrugged her shoulders and sat back in place, the eldest sister was remembered before she came back. The third aunt and grandmother didn't know that Dou Caigui was coming, and if they knew the news, they would definitely not come slower than the eldest mother.
"What's the name of the eldest brother-in-law?" Mai Xiaohuan's hands were sore after embroidering for a while, and her eyes also had double vision, so she had to put down her things and rest.
Mai Xiaofang thought for a while before answering her sister: "It's called Dou Liangfu." ”
"Tofu!"
"Poof", "Haha, haha" The two sisters rolled over on the bed in a ball, laughing until the end of the tears came out.
"Yo! Knowing that the rich man's wife is coming back, look at these two children who are happy, with our Xiaofang's appearance, we will definitely be able to marry a rich man in the future, no, we should marry a foreigner. The Wu family snorted coldly in his heart, why shouldn't it be their family's turn to have two good things!
The next time there is such a good marriage, it will be the turn of his daughter Xiaoling.
