Mingyue and Mingwenli went back to the old mansion of the Ming family, and before they reached the door, they listened to the laughter in the yard, Mingyue said curiously, "Hey, are there any guests at home?" ”

Ming Wenli shook his head, "I came out early in the morning to supervise the work over there, and I don't know very well. ”

The two quickened their pace and stepped into the courtyard gate, and the other Ming family members didn't see it, so they saw a few women in the village talking to Mrs. Ming in the courtyard, and the tone of the speech was obviously flattering, and the old lady Ming's wrinkled face was also smiling.

Seeing Mingwenli and Mingyue who came into the courtyard, Old Lady Ming greeted, "Shiro, how is the new house?" ”

Ming Wenli nodded to the group of women who were looking at him in the courtyard and said hello before responding, "It's good, I'll all go back to eat after work now." ”

One of those women said knowingly, "Aunt Ming, let's go first, don't be polite to us if you have anything in the future, just say it." ”

After saying that, several people went out of the courtyard together and left separately.

Ming Wenli looked at the women who had left and asked, "Why did they come?" ”

Mrs. Ming responded, "I said that I came to help our family clean up the yard, but in fact, I didn't come to inquire about your family, our family has the money to repair the big house, and the Xu family has also returned our old house to show goodwill to our family, this is not these people will hit your idea, but you can rest assured, my mother will definitely find you a good girl who is knowledgeable, just these wild girls in the village, my mother is not eye-catching." ”

Although Mrs. Ming did not intend to agree to those women, the praise of those women for her still greatly satisfied her vanity and made Mrs. Ming very happy.

Mingyue looked at the grandmother staying alone in the yard, and asked curiously, "Milk, you are alone at home, what about the others?" ”

Mrs. Ming seemed to be in a really good mood, and it was rare that she didn't shake Mingyue's face, and she responded loudly, "Your mother and your third aunt are cooking in the stove house, and everyone else has gone to the mountains to move things." ”

Mingyue said "oh" and said, "I'll go to the stove house to help", leaving Ming Wenli to talk to her milk in the yard, and she quickly walked through the front hall and went to the backyard stove house.

When she arrived in the backyard, Mingyue heard her mother and her third aunt talking and laughing, while Mingyang was squatting on the ground in the backyard, not knowing what he was playing.

Mingyang, who was playing in the backyard, was the first to see Mingyue, and as soon as he saw it, he rushed over to Mingyue excitedly, "Sister." ”

Mingyue saw the mud on Mingyang's hand, carefully staggered, and teased in her mouth, "Such a big person is still playing with mud, it's so dirty, wash your hands." ”

Mingyang, who pounced on his sister and wanted his sister to hug, pouted dissatisfiedly when he saw his sister dislike him, but he still went to the wooden basin at the door of the kitchen to wash his hands.

At this time, Xu Jinniang heard the movement outside, and had already come out to stand at the door of the kitchen, greeting Mingyue, "Yue'er is back?" ”

Mingyue nodded, called her mother, and went to the stove house.

Seeing Mingyue coming, Xu Jinniang also entered the stove house to continue to be busy, Mingyue went in to see Liu's who was cutting vegetables behind the stove, called "Third Aunt", and went over to the stove to help make a fire.

Xu Jinniang was busy stir-frying behind the stove and asked, "How did you come back today?" ”

Mingyue said, "I just heard that this Xu Yuanwai returned our house, I'll come back to see if it's true." ”

Speaking of this, the Liu family said with a little excitement, "I can't help but return the house, this morning the Xu family also came to a subordinate, not only returned our house deed, but also returned the title deed, although these are nothing to our family now, but after all, this is the inheritance of our Ming family's ancestors, and your third uncle said, this also represents an attitude of the Xu family, and the festival of these two families can be regarded as unveiled, and we will not embarrass our family in the future." ”

Mingyue responded with a smile, "As soon as the Xu family returns to the house, the villagers will no longer isolate our Ming family, and I just saw a few aunts talking to my grandmother in the yard." ”

Liu Shi instantly put away his smile, and pouted dissatisfiedly, "Just those fake mothers-in-law, why did we go when our family was in trouble, now I know that I came to please, and the milk is really, knowing that those mothers-in-law didn't have any good intentions, and let them into the house, I swept them out directly." ”

Xu Jinniang saw that the Liu family was actually scolded, and she actually brought her mother-in-law with her, if her mother-in-law heard it, she would probably make trouble again, so she hurriedly stopped her, "Brother and sister, don't say a word." ”

Liu also found that she said something she shouldn't have said, so she quickly closed her mouth, although she was not afraid of her mother-in-law, but when she got into trouble with her mother-in-law, she also felt upset, and her own man would blame her.

Seeing that the Liu family didn't say anything more, Xu Jinniang looked at Mingyue who was burning in front of the stove and asked, "How are you in the Li family?" ”

At this time, Mingyang, who had washed his hands, had already come in, and nested beside Mingyue to be coquettish, Mingyue teased Mingyang, and responded, "It's good." Li Yun and his uncle opened a new dry goods shop in the town, and the family went to the town, so Li Yun was left at home, and I also heard about the family's house, come back to see if it is true, and I have to rush back in a while. By the way, when the Xu family came this morning, did they say anything, such as why did they suddenly return our house and land? ”

The Liu family and Xu Jinniang both thought about it carefully, and then shook their heads, "I didn't say it, but it must be because of Zhang Langzhong's relationship, Zhang Langzhong healed the leg of the young master of the Xu family, and you are Zhang Langzhong's goddaughter, so the Xu family returned our Ming family's house." ”

Mingyue sighed softly, and then heard a voice from the yard, and after a while, Mingyao came in with two bags of grain, and when he saw Mingyue, he first put the grain on his shoulders into the wooden cabinet before he greeted, "Yue'er is back." ”

Mingyue called "big brother", and just wanted to ask the eldest brother about something, so she took Mingyang and walked outside the courtyard.

Put Mingyang down and let him go to the front yard to play with Mingkang and them, he pulled Mingyao aside, and asked softly, "Big brother, are those iron kes still hidden in the mountains?" ”

Mingyao nodded, "Of course it's still there, I also built a blacksmith table, I wanted to fight two more bows and crossbows, but I was busy building a new house, so I couldn't spare time." By the way, the master said that he would move all the things on the mountain down, and there will be no one on the mountain in the future, so will the iron still be there? ”

Mingyue frowned and asked, "The grain is also going to be moved down?" ”

Mingyao nodded, "Master said that there is no one on the mountain, and it is not safe to put food on the mountain, but it is too ostentatious to move during the day, so I plan to move back at night." ”

Mingyue sighed lightly in her heart, it seems that what she told the fourth uncle before, and what the fourth uncle conveyed to them again, the crisis situation that will occur in the future, they are completely thrown out of the clouds, but they have also tried their best, what will happen in the future, just leave it to fate, maybe they are really too worried about the sky.

"What are you two muttering there?" Suddenly there was a shrill voice from Mrs. Ming at the door of the backyard, and Mingyue and Mingyao quickly turned around and called "milk".

Mrs. Ming didn't have the good face she had when she was in the front yard before, and said to Mingyue, "Since you're back, I'm going to help cook, when is this, lunch hasn't been ready yet, do you want to starve my old woman?" ”

Mingyue rolled her eyes at the sky, this "milk", this sour and mean temperament is really a headache, but her feet have already walked quickly to the kitchen, she doesn't want to continue to be scolded by her milk.

After lunch was served, Mingyue got up to go home, but Old Man Ming still opened his mouth and said, "Let's go back after eating." ”

Mingyue shook her head and said, "I came here after eating, and Li Yun was at home alone, so I was afraid that I would starve him, so I made lunch first and then came back." ”

Old Lady Ming waved her hand impatiently, "Since that's the case, let's hurry up." ”

Xu Jinniang kept sending Mingyue to the door, and reluctantly took Mingyue's hand, "Take good care of your father-in-law, and come back when you have time." ”

Mingyue nodded obediently and urged, "Mother, fourth uncle, you go in and eat." ”

Ming Wenli looked at Mingyue in front of him, sighed, and instructed, "Be careful on the road." ”

Mingyue smiled and waved her hand, "Okay, you guys go in and eat, I'm leaving, and I'll come back to see you in a few days." With that, he turned and left.

Now that the fourth uncle takes care of his mother and younger brother, this grandmother will not treat them so harshly as before, and Mingyue is finally relieved.

Walking on the road, Mingyue also met a lot of villagers from the outside of the mountain village who went home from the field to eat or went to the field after eating, Mingyue once remembered that these villagers met the Ming family before, they would walk far away, but now it has changed a scene, those villagers are enthusiastic to come up to greet themselves, Mingyue did not put on a score, with a smile, lukewarm and polite response.

As soon as she got out of the mountain village, Mingyue obviously felt that someone was following her, staring at herself all the time, Mingyue tensed her emotions and turned around quickly, she didn't expect that the person who was following her this time would be so bad, and she was caught by Mingyue by surprise.

Mingyue looked at the man with a cold face, and said coldly, "Who are you?" The cold momentum and strong sense of oppression made the people who followed behind shiver.

The stalker wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, but suddenly responded with a flattering smile, "That, Miss Mingyue, I am a descendant of the Xu family." ”

Mingyue listened to the person who was following him speak, and then saw that the person was actually scared out of a cold sweat by his own momentum, and knew that this person was just an ordinary person, so he put away his momentum and said lightly, "What are you sneaking up on me?" ”

The man smiled and replied, "That, let me bring a few words to Miss Mingyue alone, if Miss Mingyue has any needs or difficulties in the future, just speak." With that, he turned around and ran away.

Mingyue looked at the disappearing back of the person and frowned, "What does this Xu Yuanwai mean?" Then he turned around and quickened his pace back.
