Chapter 16: Found the door
Mai Xiaohuan's craftsmanship was once again recognized by the whole family, and Mai Yonghai also asked whether today's mushrooms were grown on the ground or picked from trees. Mai Xiaohuan didn't want to lie, so she had to point to Mai Xiaofang, who was eating, and said, "Second sister has been looking at me!" Do I dare to be disobedient? ”
Even if he didn't obey, Mai Xiaohuan didn't dare to admit that if the second brother knew that he had made "poisonous" mushrooms for everyone to eat, he wouldn't have to beat himself! Fortunately, Mai Xiaofang was very cooperative, patted her chest and told everyone that the mushrooms that her sister picked today were grown on the ground and she saw them with her own eyes.
Mai Xiaohuan's face was not red, and she nodded without frowning, when the second sister looked at it, she was indeed picking mushrooms on the ground; When the second sister didn't pay attention, she went to pick shiitake mushrooms.
"Yo! The days of my younger siblings' house are getting more and more moisturized, and I eat steamed dumplings with meat at noon, and my three siblings and I are really envious! ”
As soon as she heard the words at the beginning, Mai Xiaohuan knew that it was the eldest lady who came, and she was followed by Qiao's and the three little girls.
It's for the fabric! is really persistent, the sisters hurriedly moved stools for a few people, and Shan Cuihua gave one of them each in order to prove that the steamed dumplings she ate at home did not put meat.
Ordinary people are reluctant to put lard in steamed dumplings or buns with mixed noodles, Mai Xiaohuan put a big spoon not to mention, and there are a lot of seasonings in it, how can it not be delicious? The two adults and the three little girls each had a steamed dumpling, all of them were a little unsatisfied, their eyes swept over the table, and there were only two left in the basin.
"Mother!" Mai Xiaohui tugged at Wu's sleeve, she hadn't eaten enough yet, and she really wanted to eat another one.
Mai Xiaofang sandwiched the steamed dumplings in the basin into her sister's bowl, and one in front of her second brother, Mai Yonghai picked up the three mouthfuls in front of him, wiped his mouth, and turned away.
Mai Xiaohuan was worried, eat! I am already full; If you don't eat it, wouldn't you live up to the second sister's good intentions, this person is squeezing his eyebrows and asking himself to cooperate at the moment, what should I do!
Mai Yonghai, who went and returned, pinched the steamed dumplings in front of his sister and took a bite before saying: "The second brother didn't eat enough, come back and eat another one here, Xiao Huan won't be angry!" ”
Of course I'm not angry, Mai Xiaohuan smiled and shook his head, the second brother helped solve a big problem, and it was too late for me to be grateful!
Mai Wan and Mai Yonghe also walked out of the yard, and the father and son didn't want to know about the women, nor did they care, so it was better to cut a few bales of grass if they had that kung fu!
Wu and Mai Xiaohui's faces changed, Mai Xiaohui looked like she wanted to cry or not, and Mai Xiaohuan wanted to laugh. Since there is no more to eat, let's talk about something else! Wu cleared his throat and said with a smile on his face: "The day after tomorrow is the day of the market, my third brother and sister and I want to dress up a few girls and lead them to the market, so we came over to ask about the clothes materials." ”
After saying this, Wu Shi turned Qiao Shi with his elbow, everyone is here to ask for something, why is she sitting there without saying a word, but she has to accompany the smiling face.
Qiao pouted vaguely, the two daughters of the old family, there is only one in their own family, and she should have opened this mouth. Qiao's thought of picking up ready-made products was in vain, so he had to follow Wu's words and said: "The second sister-in-law must have been too busy recently and forgot about the fabric, and my sister-in-law and I were idle, so I came to pick it up by myself." ”
Listening to this, she thought about it enough, and Shan Cuihua wanted to go over and say "thank you".
Qiao Shi saw that Shan Cuihua did not object, so he hurriedly hit the railway while it was hot: "Our little seedling likes pink the most, so the second sister-in-law will give me the pink material." ”
"That's not possible, Xiaohui and I still like pink! It's not the turn of Xiao Miao to choose first! She was eleven years old, and Mai Xiaoling, the eldest of the five girls in the Mai family, refused to back down a step. She thinks she's the best of her sisters, so of course she's going to have to choose the best things first.
A piece of clothing made them change their faces, Shan Cuihua looked at her daughter more pleasing to the eye, and was more pleased, these two children would never earn and grab for these things, they never liked these colorful materials.
Knowing that today's fabric must be given, although Shan Cuihua was distressed, she never thought of regretting it. She didn't want the two groups to quarrel in her own house, so she had no choice but to stand up and interrupt their dispute: "At the beginning, it was my mother-in-law who asked for the fabric for the three girls, so today I will ask Yonghai to send these three materials to my mother-in-law, and the sister-in-law and the third brother and sister can go to her old man's house to get them." ”
I don't want to care how they distribute these horses, let them go to their mother-in-law to make trouble! Shan Cuihua opened the door of her room, covered the door and went into the room to get the fabric. Wu has always felt that Shan Cuihua has hidden a lot of good things behind her back, and there is no reason for her daughter to marry a rich man, and she doesn't even have a piece of gold jewelry or a vase worth a little money.
She quietly moved closer to the door, and then pretended to accidentally knock open the door that Shan Cuihua had just entered. When Wu was admiring his cleverness, Mai Xiaofang trotted over and closed the door with both hands and a "clang".
"My mother just said, the eldest mother and the third aunt just go to the grandmother's house and wait, maybe whoever arrives first, the pink fabric will belong to whom!" Mai Xiaofang looked forward to these people leaving quickly, especially the eldest lady, she didn't even dare to go back to the house if she didn't leave.
The moment the door opened just now, Wu saw a lot of things piled up on the table, looking at the neatly arranged paper bags, even if they were not medicinal herbs, they must be valuable food. So many good things are casually placed on the table, and there are a lot of good things in the second family! It seems that he underestimated their family in the past, and such a mistake can no longer be made.
"Xiao Fang! What's on the table in your mother's room? "Qiao's has also seen the pile of medicinal herbs, and the things bought in the village will never be wrapped like this.
Mai Xiaohuan is very sympathetic to her mother at the moment, what kind of concubine is this! Staring at other people's things all day long, I can't wait to move back to my own house, it's the best of the best.
She squeezed Mai Xiaofang's hand and replied on her behalf: "That's the medicine that my eldest brother-in-law helped me catch, and the money hasn't been paid yet!" This medicine was caught for me by the family, but I don't want the family to owe others favors and silver, I don't know if the eldest mother and the third aunt can borrow some silver from Xiaohuan and get together with the family, maybe it will be enough to repay my brother-in-law. ”
Who to fool! I didn't see it before, this girl is quite able to lie, saying that other people's families don't have money, they believe it, and saying that the second family's family has no money, someone has to believe it.
The Wu family and the Qiao family were gagged by Mai Xiaohuan's words, how could they worry about their niece's life-saving medicine as elders! They felt very strange in their hearts, this girl didn't know when she started to become so sharp-toothed, much more difficult to deal with than her mother and that hot-tempered Xiaofang.
