Chapter 122: A Valuable and Decent Birthday Gift

As soon as Chen Qiuniang was asked, Mai Yonghe just closed his mouth and mentioned to her that he came over to celebrate his grandmother's birthday, but she said that she was not at ease to leave Chen Hanting alone in the county, and she was not familiar with the stove used in the village and the people here, so she didn't come to make trouble.

muttered for a long time, Mai Yonghe didn't say the reason why his daughter-in-law didn't come, Shan Cuihua simply sent him away, since your daughter-in-law is delicate, you can do more for her!

"Xiao Huan, have you thought about your gift, you should take it out tomorrow, if you don't do it, it's too late." Mai Xiaofang was worried about her sister, afraid that she would offend her grandmother again.

"Got it, housekeeper, it would be nice if Tang Yujun was here, because I thought of another way to make money, and I promised it to be foolproof." Mai Xiaohuan saw the eldest brother leave, and then turned around and replied to the second sister, what should she do with this brother?

It's time to celebrate grandma's birthday tomorrow, and it's time to get ready, Mai Xiaohuan sent a pot of noodles with the help of her second sister. Early the next morning, Mai Xiaohuan got up and kneaded dough to make all kinds of fancy pasta.

A small stove alone steamed eighteen peach-shaped things in the shape of nine large and nine small. Is the girl going to take this errand, Shan Cuihua asked Mai Xiaofang to hurry back to the house to rummage around, it is really not good to take out a piece of silver jewelry to make a mess than to let the girl be scolded for a while.

The mother and the second sister are too unconfident in themselves, Mai Xiaohuan asked them to wait, their works have not been completed yet, what are you in a hurry?

About two quarters of an hour later, Mai Xiaohuan opened the pot, the steaming pasta was ready, and after the peaches were cooled, Mai Xiaohuan decorated it with purple potato juice, and then kneaded the green leaves with spinach juice, which ...... Isn't it Shou Tao?

It's so similar! You can't buy this kind of pasta even if you have money! The family revolved around Shou Tao, but Mai Yonghe asked if this thing should be made and sold!

"Okay! If the sister-in-law wants to learn, let her come, you can set up a stall in the market to sell, you can also sell other noodles, and it is also good to have haggis soup and fresh mushroom soup. ”

Mai Xiaohuan really hopes that the eldest brother and sister-in-law can learn a skill, so that they will not have time to come back and make their mother angry if they only care about making money.

How can Qiu Niang have the strength to come out to sell things, there are many people in the market, and she can't be busy by herself: "That...... Xiao Huan does it at home, and Xiao Fang and I go to the market to sell it. ”

"After earning the silver, will the three of us divide it equally?" Mai Xiaofang tilted her head and asked.

"What do you want money for?"

Why did he help him raise the Chen family's sisters and brothers! Mai Xiaofang snorted lightly and squatted down to look at the fire on the stove for her sister. Mai Xiaohuan also smiled, it was no problem to let herself teach her sister-in-law, but it was not okay to let herself work hard every day to make money for Chen Hanting to squander.

After breakfast, Mai Xiaohuan found a square dark red brocade and put it on Shou Tao, let the second brother hold it, and everyone set off to Mai Xing's house together.

Mai Liu saw her granddaughter standing up excitedly, she had been looking forward to this moment for a long time, wanting to see what valuable good things were in the capital.

"Yo! Let's all take a look at what Xiao Huan has brought. Wu pushed through the crowd, squeezed to the front, and reached out to uncover the tray in Mai Yonghai's hand.

"This is a birthday gift for grandma, and she should be unveiled by her old man." Mai Xiaofang pushed away the eldest mother's hand, this person would definitely not say anything good, so she should be kept away.

Mai Liu was full of excitement to uncover the silk cloth covering the longevity peach, and when she saw the vivid and realistic longevity peach, her lips squirmed for a long time and asked, "This thing is from the capital?" ”

"Yes! This flour for making longevity peaches is called fine powder, which is a good thing that can only be eaten by high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital, and the silk cloth covered with them is also given by the young master, because it is too expensive, so there is only such a large piece. ”

My sister is too good at making it up, Mai Xiaofang lowered her head and stuck out her tongue, and took the Shan Cuihua who was covered by the clouds and mountains that the little girl said to the side to rest.

"Is this what you call a valuable and decent gift?" Mai Qiaoyue asked after her, she didn't see where this thing was valuable.

Mai Xiaohuan nodded obediently, and she asked her little aunt: "The raw materials for making this are transported from the capital, do you say it's not decent enough?" There is also this piece of material, tomorrow I will find someone to cut enough to make a vest for grandma, sister-in-law, have you made these longevity peaches, can you buy them? So what is it worthless? ”

Yes, Mai Xiaohuan's words are reasonable, but they just feel that something is wrong. At this time, the neighbors and guests who came to help also came to see Shou Tao, because this thing was rare and appropriate, and everyone couldn't stop praising Mai Xiaohuan for her ingenuity and filial piety. There are also kind-hearted neighbors who vaguely persuade Mai Liu that he should be kind to this little granddaughter in the future.

After receiving this "decent and valuable" birthday gift, Mai Liu couldn't teach his granddaughter a lesson in front of so many people, and the feeling of being deceived in his heart could not be described in words.

After a lively birthday banquet, Mai Liu wanted to catch his granddaughter and teach her a hard lesson, and then punish her to do more work, so as to make up for the work delayed in the past two days. The village chief's daughter-in-law came over and told her that her granddaughter was going to see the rabbits raised by Mai Xiaohuan's sisters, and several of them went home first.

If she can't catch her granddaughter, let her mother do more, she just asked people to find Shan Cuihua, and she heard that the niece and daughter-in-law of the big house sprained her foot, and the second daughter-in-law sent her home.

After today, there is no legitimate reason and excuse to settle accounts with them, and with Wu and the two daughters complaining vigorously, Mai Liu's mood can be said to be terrible. This birthday banquet, which has been planned for a long time, has made her enough of the limelight, and she is also extremely aggrieved, and she hates Mai Xiaohuan's granddaughter more and more.

finally survived the past few days, and the stone in Mai Xiaohuan's heart also fell to the ground, and he was finally able to live a peaceful life.

Mai Xiaohuan took out the finished vermicelli and vermicelli she made to make for her family, and asked them to give more opinions.

Even though my family said it was delicious, and it was durable, it could be eaten all year round, and it was nice to be able to make different dishes even without meat.

After spending so much effort, Mai Xiaohuan doesn't want evaluations like "okay" and "good", in her concept, either don't do it, or do it to do the best.

After three more experiments, the finished product became more and more satisfactory, and then Chen Qiuniang returned to Shaxi Village again with the support of Mai Yonghe.

Just when the family was speculating about the intention of the two to come back, Mai Yonghe was very happy to tell them that Chen Qiuniang was pregnant, and the doctor said that it was very likely to be a son.

The ancient doctors were amazing! When a pregnant woman has a flat belly, it can be diagnosed whether it is a man or a woman, which is more powerful than modern instruments. Mai Xiaofang stood next to her and muttered in a low voice: "This time it's over." "Not only does my mother have to take special care of Chen Qiuniang, but I am afraid that I and Xiaohuan will also become her maids.

Who let the belly of the family carry the flesh and blood of the Mai family! I don't like my eldest brother and sister-in-law anymore, their unborn children are all their own nephews. Mai Xiaohuan sincerely said congratulations, helped Chen Qiuniang move a chair and retreated to the back.

Mai Wang and his wife were so happy, they were about to be upgraded to grandparents, although the daughter-in-law was not very likable to her grandson, she was innocent, this was the first grandchild in the family, Shan Cuihua happily turned around the yard twice, and asked Chen Qiuniang how long she was pregnant, and if she wanted to eat?

"Mother, look at you, although the doctor is a boy, but if you give birth to a girl, will you blame me!"

"Men and women are the same, you are still young, and you will have children in the future, so the first child is male or female, it's all good."

Chen Qiuniang thanked her mother-in-law for her care and understanding, and said that her younger brother was still at home and no one took care of her, so she was not at ease, so she came to tell everyone the good news and went home.

That's not good, Shan Cuihua left two people to sit down, went to catch chickens by herself, and told Mai Xiaofang to make a cup of brown sugar water for Chen Qiuniang, and Mai Xiaohuan went to change into clothes and come out to cook. Mai Yonghai hid out when he saw the two of them enter the door, he really didn't like to deal with these two people.

"Mother, Qiu Niang has no strength now, and she has no appetite for eating, I want to take her back to live for a while, but Han Ting still has to study, you see ......"

Mai Xiaofangyong turned her sister's arm and asked her eldest brother with her eyes What do you want to do? What's in the house again? I don't want my sister to cook for that guy!

Look down! If there is a purpose, sooner or later the fox's tail will be exposed. Mai Xiaohuan had a hunch that the two of them coming back this time must have something to do with the success of their experiments, and if they really wanted to use pregnancy to fight this idea, they would definitely not let them get their wish.

Shan Cuihua also made a difficulty, if it weren't for Chen Hanting, things would be much easier, with him in the middle, this matter is really not easy to do?

"Da Lang, don't embarrass your mother, I can hold on, even if the child is a month old in the future, just ask a temporary mother."

They...... It won't be ...... I want the family to pay for Chen Hanting to hire an old mother!

Shan Cuihua looked at the two daughters, she really didn't understand what her son and daughter-in-law meant. How could the Zhuang family hire a domestic helper, and she didn't think about it at all.

"Qiu Niang, you can't joke about your body, you are pregnant with the eldest grandson of our family, and my mother and sister will not ignore you."

Mai Xiaohuan looked up at the sky and admired Chen Qiuniang very much, how long did she teach her eldest brother to remember these words! I watched the two of them perform for a long time, and this level of acting skills is okay to fool the mother who looks forward to her grandson's heart, poor mother! I'm afraid I'm going to be fooled again this time.

As Mai Xiaohuan expected, as soon as the eldest brother's voice fell, he heard his mother promise happily: "Yes, if Qiu Niang has any requirements, as long as the family can do it, it will be no problem." ”

Chen Qiuniang peeked in the direction of Mai Xiaohuan, as long as she could make herself vigilant, the entire Mai family could make herself vigilant. I was indeed a little jealous of her in the past, now? Chen Qiuniang touched her flat lower abdomen, with this piece of meat, the positions of the two people should be completely reversed.
