Time is like an arrow, especially when the days are busy, it has been more than half a month since Liu Xiaohu went to Beijing to catch the exam in the blink of an eye, and during this time, Lin Saiyu has not been so busy in her previous life and in the past few decades in her life combined.

It turned out that Liu Xiaohu had just walked on the front foot, and Liu was too worried, and ate a few more new melons in the field, and suffered from the wind at night, and vomited and diarrhea for three or four days, and he couldn't get up in a breath, and the anxious Lindsay Yu didn't go down with a fire bubble on his mouth, and he had a boil, and spent all the dozen or so silver he had just earned, and waited for ten days day and night before Liu got better.

And during this period, the vegetables in the field are growing happily, many fresh vegetable village people have not seen, indispensable Lindsay Yu step by step guidance, the greenhouse materials are ready, seeing that after August 15, the weather is cool, the greenhouse can be planted, farmers and invited workers are waiting, Lindsay Yu is a family of two in the field running, half a month to lose ten pounds, eyes are even more red, Liu felt sorry for her, more than once said to buy a girl, afraid that the daughter-in-law is reluctant to pay for the money repeatedly explained that she will take her own body to buy, Lin Saiyu has always spent money lavishly, clapped her hands and said Where to use her mother's money, the family's money is all her mother's, which one can't be used? I agreed, and in the past few days, I was thinking about whether to ask someone to buy it or choose one in the village, but I didn't make up my mind and there was another tense thing.

Lin Saiyu is determined to see what stage the development of rice today, no matter how busy he is every day, he has to go to the excellent rice seedling field planted by himself to take a look, the original growth is good, but one day of routine inspection found that the rice appeared shallow water dipping spots, scared her a spirit, immediately looked at other rice fields, sure enough, a few have this symptom, so they immediately called the farmers who are responsible for planting rice, and busily instructed them to pull out the diseased seedlings, fortunately, it was found in time, did not cause a large area of disease, in this era when people are still short of medicine, Lin Saiyu was very worried about how he could make pesticides, this busy was seven or eight days passed, this day after inspecting the rice fields and vegetable fields, everything was safe, only to breathe a sigh of relief, beat the sour waist and go home, while thinking about buying a maid, ask someone to buy a tooth, I don't know the root of the bottom I don't worry, there are a lot of poor girls in my village, and the poor family grows up and can't say that they are good, it is better to buy a handmaiden, and they don't let them enter the slavery, and also alleviate the difficulties of life, and they are also free from family affairs. One panel pointed his fingers at the right person of that family, while entering the house, just called out to his mother, and saw a girl wearing a wool green cloth shirt walking out with a basin of water, and when she saw her, her face turned red when she saw her, and she shouted shyly: "Cousin, you are back." ”

Lin Saiyu was stunned for a long time, and then remembered in a trance that this person was the daughter of an aunt in Lu's mother's family, and she should be called a cousin according to her generation.

Lin Saiyu thought about it for a long time, but didn't remember what it was called, and wondered: "Why are you here?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Lu Shi walking out with a smile and said, "Sister is back." He pushed the girl, "Qiao'er, go cook, your sister is so busy at home all day that she can't even drink saliva, make some soup for conversation." ”

During these days, Lu Shi saw that she was busy, after all, she was the daughter she raised, she was a little distressed, and she didn't mess around anymore, Lin Saiyu gave a smile, Lu didn't look at people's faces, so she was even more proud, where do you remember the annoying things you did? The generous one began to climb the door of Liu's house again.

"Mother is idle again today?" Lin Saiyu was shocked as long as she saw Lu smiling, while thinking that although she had grown vegetables and sold some money, her mother-in-law was sick and spent it, this is a well-known thing in the village, Lu should not come to fight famine at this time, and she was faceless, looking at the cousin called Qiao'er and went to the kitchen, hurriedly rolled up her sleeves and said, "My cousin is here, it's a guest, sit down, how can I let you do it." ”

When Qiao'er heard this, she lowered her head with a red face, and she didn't dare to step forward again, so she quietly glanced at Lu.

Lu Shi glared at her, and said to Lindsay Yu with a smile: "What a guest, my sister-in-law, even if you call, your mother-in-law is not strong, you are busy, you also know this Qiao'er, live with your grandmother, you will do anything, your grandmother feels sorry for you, and specially sent her to your house, and she will do this family in the future." ”

When Lin Saiyu heard this, she finally understood, frowned, and muttered in her heart that it was really three days before she opened the house and tiles, and it was only a few days better, and she came to make trouble and send a relative over, is it to be a slave or a girl?

Before she could speak, Lu Shi walked past her a few steps earlier and said, "Your mother-in-law is very satisfied, I still have work at home, don't talk about it." He raised his hand to Qiao'er and asked him to help your sister, and the fire burned away, and Lin Saiyu's words choked in his throat and didn't come out, so that Lindsay Yu coughed twice, so he had to stare at Qiao'er there.

"Sister, I'm going to cook." Qiao'er was more and more embarrassed by Lindsay Yu, and said boldly and moved to the kitchen.

Where did Lin Saiyu let her go, she was busy smiling and inviting her to sit, and she didn't care about talking to Liu, so she jumped into the kitchen three times and two times, and when Na Qiao'er came back to her senses, Lindsay Yu's rice had been cooked.

"Cousin, sit down quickly, you have come all the way to visit, and there is nothing good to entertain you, and the situation at home is really sad." Lin Saiyu put three bowls of rice soup on the table, and said to Liu, who was sitting down, "Mother, it's rare for my sister to come once, can I take some pickles for dinner?" ”

Liu smacked his lips, since his daughter-in-law had the intention to act, it was not good if she didn't cooperate, she looked at Qiao'er who looked surprised on the other side of the table, and said, "There is a visitor, naturally it should." Seeing Lin Saiyu turn around to get it, he coughed and told him to remember to leave some for Erlang.

"Sister, don't you grow a lot of vegetables in your family, why do you eat this?" Qiao'er looked at the three pickles on a plate in front of her, her face froze, and she couldn't help asking.

Liu sighed and said with a smile: "Since ancient times, the bare feet who sell shoes and the silkworms have no clothes, we grow vegetables for a living, where are we willing to eat?" ”

"Sister, with such a big family business, why does she eat worse than my family?" Qiao'er watched Lindsay Yu finish the soup in two or three sips, as if she was hungry for a few meals, and said with wide eyes.

Lin Saiyu smiled and said: "What kind of family business, I don't know whose land it is, I also came on credit first, and I won't be able to grow the lotus root that others want in the coming year, but I'm afraid that I will have to sell it to others to pay off my debts." ”

Qiao'er smiled far-fetched when she heard this, and said: "Sister, don't worry, although it is a little difficult now, when my brother-in-law wins the fame, it will naturally be better." ”

Lin Saiyu smiled, and said while posing chopsticks: "Erlang only went to school for the words of the county master, he is okay with farming, but his fame is not in his fate." ”

Knowing that it was acting, Liu barely managed to faint when he heard this, but his face became not much better than Qiao'er, he slammed the dishes and chopsticks, and said with a cold face: "Daughter-in-law, hurry up and eat, how much work has not been done." ”

Lin Saiyu smiled secretly, quietly stuck out her tongue at Qiao'er, and hurriedly got up.

After eating, Lin Saiyu let Qiao'er sit, wash and wash by herself, sew clothes, boil soup and send medicine, and kept busy, during which there were farmers who kept coming to ask for advice on various questions, only to see Qiao'er's face pale, and then see Liu sitting crookedly on the kang, coughing from time to time, more and more unable to sit down, it was easy to stay until late, and he was busy getting up to say goodbye.

"My sister is here for a few more days? Where are you going so late? Lin Saiyu put the sewing basket down and asked.

Qiao'er smiled a little embarrassedly: "I went to the girl's house to see, the first time I left my grandmother's side, I was not at ease." ”

Lin Saiyu nodded, sent her away, and did not forget to ask her to come to her for dinner, scared the little girl to go faster, Lu was proud at home, and talked to Cao Saburo and his party about how to bring her mother's family, how her mother's family was grateful, and how not to underestimate her again, Cao Sanlang pulled his face and protested in silence that she did not send her relatives to go, but saw Qiao'er push the door and come in.

"Sister, why are you back? You just arrived at your sister's house, how diligent are you, how can you slip now, you will buy more girls in the future, and you will have a free time. Lu Shi pointed at her with his finger.

Qiao'er leaned on the stool, picked up a piece of steamed bun on the table that had not been cleaned up and ate it in a few bites, patted her chest and said: "Miss Lao, send me back quickly, I can't enjoy this blessing, I will starve to death this day, you always say at home like a fairy, coax me to go this trip in vain." ”

Lu Shi was stunned, only said that Liu disagreed, and listened to this girl, so he said: "Your sister's mother-in-law is a gourd without a mouth, and she can't be the master at home, you don't have to care about her, just surround your sister, take a few scoldings and a lot of meat, but you can't throw away this good opportunity to eat and drink spicy food, how many people are still waiting to go, instead of letting others earn the money, it is better for our own family to want it, that's your sister, she can't beat you, don't force other rich people to be a messenger?" ”

Qiao'er ate three steamed buns in a row, waved her hand and said: "You used to boast in front of your grandmother, how much land is your sister's house, but it turned out to be on credit, I saw more than a dozen people running to ask after this day, I planted so many vegetables, there was nothing on the dinner table, it can be seen that it was a confiscated one, and I couldn't grow what people wanted in the future, so I had to drag me down to sell it together, my mother can't compare to you, there is a brother and a sister to support the elderly, my mother is only me, the girl wants to feel sorry for my sister's hard life, and she wants to find someone to help her go to those homes with many children, Don't stare at people like us, without me in the future, the girl may give my father and mother a pen? ”

Lu's face turned blue when he said it, and he didn't mention it in one breath, pointing to Qiao'er who couldn't say half a word, and Qiao'er was not polite, so that Cao Sanlang could push the cart to send him back, saying that his grandmother was afraid that he wouldn't be able to sleep if she left her, and the angry Lu scolded in a stack: "Strange licensed, it sounds good, her grandmother is only afraid of living a few more days away from you, and she should combine the inside and the outside to move my family's things." ”

Qiao'er didn't look young, but she was a powerful person, and she turned around and replied: "The girl said this, and she is not afraid that her uncle will be annoyed when she hears it?" I don't know, when did our Lu family's things get the surname Cao? ”

The Lu family, who was choked on a word, couldn't speak, and had the heart to step forward and beat her a few times, but she was afraid of annoying this girl to go back to Hu Qin and provoke her brother and daughter-in-law.

It turned out that the Lu family had heard that the Liu family was going to buy a maid, so they were interested, thinking that when their daughter was a slave in the Su family, she ate well and dressed well, and got money every month, which was really a good future, so she hurriedly went to her mother's family and said that she wanted to take the opportunity to take a long breath in front of her mother's family, hoping that her mother's life would be better, and she didn't have to be angry with her son and daughter-in-law and relatives.

Lin Saiyu did not feel at ease because of this, since the niece of the Lu family made a fuss, other people in the village and the neighboring villages have come to the door, those people are people who can't eat a meal a day, but they don't think the Liu family eats poorly, for a time the dilapidated Liu family's small courtyard was overcrowded, and some people even fought in order to compete for the opportunity to be slaves, Cao Dibao took the opportunity to sue the county lord, saying that the Liu family used their own land to lure good people into slavery, so Lin Saiyu was summoned into the city by two officials, and Liu was worried about his daughter-in-law, Regardless of the fact that the illness had not recovered and wanted to go with him, Lin Saiyu persuaded him, but he had to ask a tenant to push the cart, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law locked the door and went to the county seat.
