Chapter 192: Sister and Brother
May in Datong Province is as hot as a furnace for some, but far less for others.
Lu Yang didn't, she was still sitting under the grape trellis embroidering in a leisurely manner.
Not far away, there stood two fourteen or fifteen-year-old second-class maids.
Seeing the two little maids standing there drowsy, their eyelids shrugged, and they couldn't open their eyes, Lu Yang kindly asked them to go back and rest, and there was no need for them to wait here.
The little maid was so lazy that she didn't even give a salute, and happily retreated.
There was no human voice in the whole small courtyard, and the thrush under the corridor also fell asleep, only the sound of knowing came one after another, coming from the plane tree outside the courtyard.
Lu Yang didn't feel irritable, but seemed to be listening to a beautiful song, flying in his hand, flying needles and threads, and after a while, he embroidered one of the butterfly's wings.
She is now thirteen years old, Xue Dongyuan said that she is getting older, and it is not good to live in the wing of the painting garden again, and the painting mother is reluctant to let her go too far, so she is placed in the west courtyard of the painting garden.
It's strange today, those two handmaidens who know kung fu were left in the upper room of the painting garden by Xue Dongyuan, as if there was something wrong, Xue Dongyuan was worried about the safety of the painting girl, so he transferred them back and sent these two little maids to guard her.
What's going on?
Lu Yang couldn't figure it out, so he didn't think much about it.
In a few days, Xue Donghai's family will go to a small fishing village to celebrate his father-in-law's fiftieth birthday.
Lu Yang heard Xue Min say that her grandfather had several cousins at home, so she thought that when she was not sleepy, she would make a few more purses out, so that Xue Min could take them back and give them as small gifts between sisters.
Xue Min's sisters and brothers went back to the small fishing village with Xue Donghai and his wife the year before last, and when they came back, they told the Lu Yang sisters how their maternal grandfather, uncles, aunts, cousins and sisters loved them.
In his words, he liked his grandfather's family very much, and he stayed in the small fishing village for more than a month before coming back, and he was a little happy.
Now that they haven't seen their grandfather for two years, it's no wonder that the Xue Min sisters and brothers miss them so much, and they can't sleep these days when they are so excited and excited.
Lu Yang thought of these sensible cousins, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but bend.
Suddenly, she heard a slight sound of clothes rubbing outside the west door, and the sound of deliberately lightened footsteps of someone coming, she didn't have to look up to know that it must be Xue Min and brother who came to see her.
Lu Yang pursed his lips and smiled, and continued to embroider the other wing, pretending not to hear the movement outside.
To the west of this small courtyard is the second room on West Road, which is very close to the second room and even closer to Mingxi Hall, but Lu Yang knows that his sister Xue Yan will not come over at this hour.
There were four children outside the door, you squeezed me, I squeezed you, and one of them, the shortest boy, who was white and fat, was accidentally squeezed and sat on the ground.
He was very upset, and he was about to cry when he opened his mouth, but another boy covered his mouth, and the other two girls put their index fingers to their lips and made a 'shhh' motion, and the three of them carefully pulled him up.
patted the dust on his body for him again, quietly touched the yard, followed one by one, and tiptoed towards Lu Yang.
A pair of slightly sweaty hands covered Lu Yang's eyes, Lu Yang cooperated very well to make a frightened look, and the chubby little boy grinned, "Big sister, guess who it is this time?" ”
Lu Yang put the needle and pattern in his hand in the embroidery basket on his side, and gestured to represent their gestures that only his sister and brother knew, but he deliberately made the wrong comparison.
The little boy really laughed even more happily, "The big sister guessed wrong, it's not the big brother, it's the third sister!" Tao'er wins, Tao'er can play another day tomorrow! ”
The little boy smiled toothlessly.
He is Xue Donghai's youngest son, five years old this year, round and chubby, very likable, Meng Shi is worried that he will keep growing horizontally, and let a few children follow her every day to plant vegetables and plough the ground, do some farm work, and also exercise.
It's just that Xue Litao is the laziest and doesn't like to work the most, every time Meng asks him for help, he finds all kinds of reasons and excuses to be lazy, or let his brothers and sisters do the work for him.
Looking at it like this, he made a bet with Xue Min, and won the bet because Lu Yang deliberately made a mistake.
Lu Yang felt that this cousin was very interesting, and a little smile appeared on his face.
Xue Min took back the hand that was blindfolded by Lu Yang, and nodded Xue Litao's forehead with one hand, giving him a disgusted little look.
"You, you know how to be lazy, and I don't know who you learned from this lazy look, look at what you have become fat, don't help your mother work, be careful that you can't walk in the future!"
"Tao'er is not fat, and the eldest aunt says that Tao'er is the cutest." Xue Litao pouted, dissatisfiedly defending himself.
Lu Yang touched his little head, he looked up and saw Lu Yang smiling at the corner of his mouth, looking at him with a soft expression, and immediately plunged into Lu Yang's arms, smelling the fragrance on Lu Yang's body, his little eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, "Big sister, you are so fragrant." ”
It was the fragrance of flowers in the sachet, Lu Yang was holding Xue Litao, who was also like a round ball, and ate tofu with all kinds of faces, only to feel super good, soft, smooth and tender like water tofu, very fun.
It's no wonder that Ei Niang always 'ravages' herself like this, it's so funny.
Xue Litao was also generous, but when Lu Yang touched it, not only was he not angry, but he seemed to be enjoying it, grinning.
Xue Min also teased him on the side, saying that he was not ashamed, while Xue Zhen stood silently behind her sister, always quietly glancing at Lu Yang when Lu Yang was not paying attention.
If Lu Yang found out, she would immediately retract her head, and then slowly poke her head out, like a snail hiding in her shell.
Lu Yang teased Xue Litao and Xue Zhen, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a boy with a horn and a long-sleeved cardigan in cocoon silk standing at the end of the porch, so he beckoned to him and motioned for him to come over and talk.
That boy is Xue Liming, he is nine years old this year, naturally he can't be like his younger brother, rolling in the arms of the big sister and being coquettish, but he is very envious, although this big sister can't speak, but he always smiles the most sincerely, and his eyes are clear and gentle, which makes him want to be close.
Lu Yang greeted him like this, but he was a little embarrassed.
He raised the wicker basket he was holding in his hand, and said very shyly: "This is what we just picked from the vegetable garden, but it's fresh, I'll wash it for you to eat." Then he ran as fast as he could.
I think I'm shy.
Lu Yang's heart was warm.
Several younger siblings are well-behaved and sensible, which shows that the second aunt Meng is very good at teaching children, and they don't dislike her because she is a mute.
On the contrary, because she could not speak and had no friends, they always came to talk to her and were willing to talk to her.
