Hua Jinye, as the Taishou of Licheng, is not allowed to return to Beijing without will, but this time he ran back secretly and did not dare to make a noise. He only stayed for a few days, and when the old lady's condition stabilized and she woke up, he hurriedly returned secretly, but left Hua Junze and asked him to do his filial piety by the old lady's side. I also want to wait for the old lady to get better, take it back directly, and save it again.

Jiao Niang, the cousin, has sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a righteous face, and a seemingly calm personality, but it is not funny. And there is no distinction between humility and humility, and he is smiling at everyone, and he treats Jiao Niang with a brotherly style.

He is two years older than Hua Junyi, and he has not yet married a wife, I heard that the girls in Licheng are lining up to marry him, and the matchmakers who say that they are close to him will smooth the threshold of his family, but he has rejected them one by one.

Yes, a good man must start a business first and then start a family.

His mother was very worried about this, afraid that she would not be able to hold her grandson in this life, so she crossed him and let his brother, who was three years younger than him, marry first, and had already become a grandmother a month ago.

"Grandmother, let me tell you, when my little nephew was just born, I hugged him and looked, heh, scared me, why is it so ugly, I thought it wasn't my flower family's seed. ”

Jiao Niang was holding the medicine, and when she heard this, she almost tripped when she stepped over the threshold. She looked in and saw Hua Junze sitting on the edge of the bed, peeling oranges and making the old lady laugh.

The old lady's laughter was still weak and hoarse, "You monkey cub, the more you grow up, the less deep you become, you can say this, if your father listens, he will not beat you a few times." ”

Hua Junze fed a petal of orange to the old lady's mouth, and said with a smile: "If playing the board can make my grandmother laugh, I would rather take a few more boards." ”

The old lady poked him in the head and laughed again.

Maybe it's because the old lady has been on that side for a long time, so she is closer to the people on that side, and such a natural picture of grandparents and grandchildren has never appeared in this home.

It's as if they're family.

Jiao Niang walked in, "Grandmother, the medicine is ready." ”

"Look at the old slave's memory, just listening to the fun here, I forgot about the medicine, and I asked the fifth girl to bring it. Mama Mao smiled with the old lady, turned her head and saw Jiao Niang, and hurriedly greeted her.

may be because of the experience of fighting together, and now Mama Mao is very close to Jiao Niang.

The old lady pointed at Mama Mao and teased her: "I don't remember anything, I think you are lazy." ”

"Yes, yes, yes. Mama Mao said again and again: "I wish I could lie in bed every day, and find a dozen girls to serve, open my mouth for food, stretch out my hand for clothes, and not move at all, and be lazy." ”

She took a fine sieve and sifted out a bowl of medicine, without a single residue, took it to the ice water and fed it to the old lady.

The old lady turned her face away and said disgustedly: "I take medicine every day, and if I don't get sick, I have to get sick, and I don't have any taste in my mouth now, only bitterness." ”

Hua Junze took the medicine bowl from Mama Mao's hand, and said with a smile: "I said that grandmother is getting younger and younger now, and only children don't like to take medicine when they are sick." ”

The wrinkles on the old lady's face stretched like chrysanthemums, and she pointed her finger at his forehead, "When did you become so good at talking?

"Well, it's just honey, not only did I put honey on my mouth, but I also added honey to this medicine. Hua Junze brought the bowl to her mouth, "You always have a face and taste it." ”

The grandson has been sent to his mouth, how can he still be bitter and not eat, even if it is bitter, the heart of being coaxed is sweet.

The old lady took it and drank it all, and after drinking, Mama Mao went to wipe the veil for her.

After Hua Junze finished coaxing the old lady, he stepped aside and stuffed a freshly peeled orange into Jiao Niang's hand, "Fifth cousin, don't say anything to your father about that indecent thing, otherwise he should reprimand me for being unstable." ”

Hua Junze was most afraid of not his father, but his uncle, as soon as they met, he said to him, "Hua family, your generation, only you are the most promising, you must shoulder the family mission, do things steadily, and don't be impatient" and other words, nagging endlessly.

Jiao Niang covered her mouth and smiled, "Brother Lobby wants to use an orange as a hush money, it's too cheap for you." ”

"Then one day when I go out on the street, my sister will tell me what she likes to eat, and I will buy it all for you. ”

"That's pretty much it. ”

After greeting the old lady for a while, Jiao Niang was called by Su Qingyin, since the accident at Tao Jin's family, Ji's family was sick, and everything in the family fell on her. She had just recovered from her illness, and she had just started to be a housekeeper, and many times she was too busy.

She is the best in the house and Jiao Niang, so she asked her to help one or two.

In fact, Jiao Niang can not be a housekeeper, but she can also help calculate two accounts.

Su Qingyin runs errands in a small flower hall in the East Cross Courtyard every day, and after breakfast, around midnight, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the deacon come here to reply.

When Jiao Niang walked in, the yard was full of people, the Trinity Gang, a group of two, leaning against the wall, sitting on the steps, muttering, talking and laughing, without a charter. It's not like it's here to discuss things, it's like it's here to gossip.

Amber stood at the door early and watched, and when she saw Jiao Niang coming in, she hurriedly greeted her, "Mother Fang is inside." She whispered.

This is Su Qingyin specially asked her to inform Jiao Niang in advance before she enters, and she has a score in her heart.

Jiao Niang nodded slightly, and walked in with broken steps.

"Five girls Ann. ”

"Hello mom. ”

After exchanging words, Jiao Niang sat down, exchanged a few words with Su Qingyin, and said a few words to Fang's mother.

Su Qingyin said: "It's the same thing to call my sister here, Fang's mother said that now the girls in the family are older, and my mother means to release a batch and let them get married." ”

"I know this, it's a good thing, the girls are old, and they can't delay others for a lifetime. ”

Fang's mother answered: "But after a batch of departures, there will not be enough people to serve in the house, so Mrs. thought about asking the eldest young grandmother and the fifth girl to discuss adding some back." Coincidentally, there will be a market in the West Market tomorrow, and the young grandmother will lead the five girls, one can go shopping, and the other will buy people back by the way. ”

Su Qingyin's face was embarrassed, "When I was at home, although I also learned to be a housekeeper, I didn't do the matter of purchasing house slaves, and I didn't think that the fifth sister would have experienced it, what if——"

In just these few days, she can't wait for a heart to grow ten eyes, for fear that something will make a mistake in the housekeeper. The matter of buying slaves looks simple, but in fact, there are many things in it. In case you buy someone with bad intentions, the first one is to blame her for it.

Seeing her concerns, Fang's mother complimented and smiled: "My eldest and youngest grandmother, you are Bingxue smart, everything in this family is done properly, buying a few slaves is not a piece of cake, besides, there are no five girls to help you." ”

The lady smiled and said nothing, Amber came up with tea, she picked it up, and skimmed the floating scraps with the tea lid.

Seeing that Jiao Niang didn't speak, Mother Fang turned to Su Qingyin, looking good for her, "In the past, this was done by the eldest lady, but now it is handed over to the eldest young grandmother, and it is also the trust of the lady." Mrs. said, she is getting older, and she doesn't have the heart to take care of the house, and in the future, this family will be a young grandmother, and these things will have to be done sooner or later, sooner or later it is better than night. ”
