Chapter 238: Let's Go (Pink 10+)
After a few days, the water and mud left behind by the heavy rain evaporated, leaving no trace behind, but it had changed the lives of many people.
"Yo, why are there so many children!" After entering the courtyard of Cui'er's house, he suddenly saw that there were five or six children born with faces in the yard who were busy drying vegetables or something, and he was immediately startled, and hurriedly took two steps back, looked at the gate, and found that it was Lian Qingshan's home, so he walked inside in a daze.
"Hey, Xiangmo, what's going on? Why haven't I been here for a few days, and suddenly there are so many more children! Dong Shi saw Xiang Mo who was coming out of the house, and asked hurriedly.
"It's the second lady, the second lady is good!" Xiang Mo didn't pay any attention to the clothes that were being pulled by Dong's family, greeted him with a smile unhurriedly, and then put the small basket in his hand aside.
Xiangmo is Cui'er's maid, although Lian Qinghe and Dong are not her direct masters, but the concept of superiority and inferiority is deeply ingrained in Xiangmo's mind, and after seeing Lian Qinghe and Dong, they are all honored as the second master and the second lady.
"Back to the second lady, these children were rescued by our master, but I don't know anything else." Xiangmo knew that this Dong family was a cautious person, so she only said that she didn't know, and didn't tell Cui'er about it.
"Ah, the ones that were rescued were put at home?" Dong looked at the strange children in the courtyard, although the clothes they were wearing were not new, they were not old.
Dong pursed his lips, habitually thinking, if these clothes were not given to these children, it would be good to give them to their own homes. And the rations of these children, even if they can't eat it, they have to have two catties of food a day, right? What a loser.
"Well, I have to tell my sister-in-law what is good about these children being raised at home. It's a ...... that costs money and food," Dong muttered in a low voice and walked into the house, thinking about those old clothes and rations for a while, but he completely forgot that his family's conditions were already much better now, and he didn't need to covet these sesame mung bean things at all.
Dong walked into the house while muttering, and walked around the east and west rooms, but he didn't see Cui'er. Then he turned out again, pulled Xiangmo and continued to ask, "Xiangmo, where did my sister-in-law go?" ”
"I was still in the house just now, maybe I went to the dim sum shop, right?" Xiangmo knew that her young lady had just taken the child to the teahouse to check the accounts. But he was not very happy that this Dong family would use a small fart to trouble his own young lady if he had nothing to do, so he pretended to be blank and said.
"You, you can't even look at a big living person!" Dong shook off the hand holding Xiangmo, took a pair of slender legs and walked out, and walked to the gate of the courtyard. I'll go and see my brother when I build a house first, and I'll talk about the rest later.
Dong's luck is not bad, Cui'er just finished settling the account. Talking to the big girl and Xiaohu, when he saw Dong coming in in in a hurry, he greeted her with a smile.
"Oh, sister-in-law, you're here! Tell me, I entered your yard just now, and I thought it was a different person. Why are so many children in your house? Dong strode hurriedly to the door of the account room, squeezing away the big girl and the little tiger. Came up to Cui'er, "Sister-in-law." It's not that I'm talking about you, you just have enough to eat, how can you have spare money to feed so many children! ”
"Sister-in-law, they all say that half the eldest child eats the poor old man, you have taken in five or six at once, you look like nothing one by one now, and when you look at it in winter, all of them can be eaten better than wolf calves, you, hurry up and send them where they should go, and drive them away, how much does it cost!" Dong said while feeling distressed, as if she had spent the money.
"Alas, how can you get rid of them, they are all from Yadi Village, and the whole village has been washed away, if I take these children away, those little ones won't survive for a few days, and those are human lives!" Cui'er sighed, her heart was mixed, these children have been coming to their house for a few days, and they are all rushing to work, and a few slightly older ones are either helping to chop wood or help to light the fire, tidying up the house, and even feeding the chickens and pigs.
Those little ones, although they don't know how to do anything, but they are also well-behaved and clever, and their eyes are good to help look at the small bag and soft, if the two children pee and cry, someone will come to greet them, although it is not of much use, but it can be seen that these children are really trying to make themselves useful.
"What kind of life is not human, you drove them away, and they don't care about the people in their village? I don't believe it! Dong pursed his lips, looking at Cui'er's unwavering expression, knowing that his sister-in-law had a very good idea, and now that his own man and his brother are relying on this sister-in-law to eat, he doesn't dare to offend her.
"Come on, I won't persuade you anymore, you say that I'm a bitter woman who says this is not good for you, for whose good! You have four children in your family, and if you add those five or six, it's ten children, what can you do?! Dong said while chattering, chatted with Cui'er for a few more words, and then went to the place where the house was built, and his mother's family came to Xin'er, saying that the eldest brother and the second brother were going to see each other, and let them take the time to go home.
Thinking of this thing, Dong's mood couldn't be better, a year ago, because of the marriage of several younger brothers side by side, it was still a gloomy cloud, but I didn't expect that after the New Year, the situation turned over.
The eldest brother and sister-in-law are opening mountains and forests, and they are running a tea workshop and building a house, so much work, their brothers have got a lot of silver, although it is not enough to build a house and marry a daughter-in-law, but it is enough to buy a decent dowry, plus their current work is good, those girls do not have to worry about food and clothing after marrying, and the value of the brothers will naturally rise.
Thinking of this, Dong's heart was unhappy that Cui'er didn't listen to her words just now, so she let it go, and her family is now pointing to the eldest brother and sister-in-law to make money, if you don't listen, don't listen, anyway, it's not spending your own money.
Dong's side left happily, but Cui'er went through Dong's words again in her mind, although Dong's eyelids were very shallow, but there was one thing that was not wrong, there were too many children in her own house.
The four big girls and little tigers and soft and soft bags said that the children raised by their own parents must not be treated badly, or they must die of distress. And the six small buns in Yadi Village, plus the Chai Jin brothers and sisters who were rescued by Lian Qingshan earlier and are still lying on the kang, add up to a total of twelve children, not counting the apprentices in their own tea shop.
There are a lot more children than adults, and there is a serious shortage of people to take care of them, which makes Cui'er's heart a little upset and downward, Cui'er is not afraid that a few children can eat and sleep, but what she is afraid of is that these children will be injured in case of illness or something, people's hearts are flesh and blood, no matter what they do, they must not be happy, but to take care of so many children, Cui'er really feels powerless.
Cui'er was worried, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and she heard Aunt Lu's voice from afar.
"Mother, you're here!" Cui'er hurriedly walked out of the teahouse, just in time to see Aunt Lu talking to Xiangmo at the door, Aunt Lu went to Litou Village for a few days this time, it seems that this is the way she has just come back, "Mother, how are the flower branches?" ”
"Hehe, good news, Huazhi is pregnant!" Aunt Lu had a bright smile on her face, took Cui'er's hand and said happily, "Let Zheng Langzhong help me, I've been pregnant for more than two months, and I stayed there for a few days before I came back." ”
"Really, great!" When Cui'er heard that Huazhi was pregnant, her heart also became happy, "This is a great thing!" I'll go to Litou Village to take a look! ”
Cui'er happily talked to Aunt Lu, after coming to this ancient time for so long, Cui'er knows very well that a woman can only gain a firm foothold in a family if she gives birth to a child, or even only if she gives birth to a son, she can really gain a firm foothold in a family, before Huazhi got married for more than half a year and was not pregnant, Aunt Lu was very anxious, for fear that the Du family would have any bad thoughts about Huazhi, and now that Huazhi is pregnant, everyone is relieved.
Aunt Lu pulled Cui'er and talked for a while, and then suddenly remembered something, and said to Cui'er mysteriously, "Cui'er, you tell me the truth, what's the matter with the children in the new yard?" ”
"Mother......" Cui'er was afraid that Aunt Lu would persuade her to send the children away like the Dong family, so she cried and laughed helplessly and told the ins and outs of the matter, and also said the things that she couldn't understand over and over again.
"Mother, don't persuade me to send the children away, if you send the children away, you will send them to death, I can't be so ruthless." Cui'er sighed, pulled Aunt Lu's arm and said coquettishly.
"Mother knows, how can Mother let you do this!" Aunt Lu sighed and touched Cui'er's hair lovingly, "You and Qingshan are both good children, kind-hearted, my mother doesn't force you to do anything, it's just a few children, and it's nothing to eat." ”
"But, Cui'er, don't forget to be close and close, they are our own children, those children from outside, just treat them as small jobs you recruit, or spend money to buy people, but don't get used to it too much." Aunt Lu is not worried about Cui'er, who is kind-hearted, if she raises so many children as her own at once, if nothing else, she will be tired and half dead.
"Mother, don't worry, I'm measured." Seeing that Aunt Lu supported her, Cui'er felt a lot better, and hugged her arm and sprinkled coquettishly, "Mother, don't go back at noon, let's have a good meal together!" ”
"Okay, don't go back, I haven't looked at my own little grandson for a long time, but it's so rare!" Aunt Lu laughed and went to see Xiaobao and Soft. (To be continued)
