Rui Xue sat in the hall with a bitter face and drank chicken soup, Cui Niang got up early and killed an old hen in the house, brought it over and stewed it in the big kitchen in the yard for a whole morning, and brought it over at this time, insisting that she eat meat and drink soup.

If it's a light chicken soup, Rui Xue won't say anything, the problem is that people in this time and space, especially farmers, mostly measure nutrition by the amount of oil and water in the vegetables, so this chicken soup has a thick layer of oil slick, and she really can't be interested in drinking these greasy.

However, Cui Niang watched with a smile, and she couldn't say that she didn't want to eat, so she had to skim off the oil slick, drank half a bowl of soup, and ate a chicken leg, and was about to call a few children to come in to rescue her and help eat the chicken, when she heard someone shouting outside the door, "Mr. is back." ”

Rui Xue immediately smiled and went out, Zhao Fengnian was a little flattered when he saw her like this, and when he entered the hall and saw the small pot of chicken soup, he couldn't help but laugh too.

Rui Xue stretched out her hand and pinched him secretly, and he reluctantly thanked Cui Niang, "I'm tired of my sister-in-law taking care of it." ”

Cui Niang hurriedly waved her hand, "Mr. is polite, the old hen is the most replenished, and the family has a lot of them, so I will kill one, if the sister likes it, I will stew it in a few days." ”

Rui Xue immediately said, "Sister-in-law, don't be busy, let's keep the hen to lay eggs to eat, I'll wait for Brother Zhang to buy milk samples and come back, just drink more goat milk, that one is more replenishing." ”

"Goat's milk is so fishy, I don't know why you love to drink it, but my heart seems to follow you, I heard the second aunt say, she also loves to drink it."

Ruixue solved the chicken soup crisis, breathed a sigh of relief, and swept the corner of her eyes to the two little girls standing outside the door, and asked, "This is the maid you bought back in the city?" ”

Zhao Fengnian nodded, "Yes, sisters, just a few days after being bought by someone's teeth, I looked pitiful and bought it back, one is good at needlework, and the other can also cook." ”

Ruixue called, "Come in and let me see." ”

The two little girls glanced at each other, held each other's hands and entered the door, kneeling on the ground at the same time, bowing their heads and saying nothing.

Rui Xue looked at the old clothes on their bodies as if they were a little big, and their small bodies seemed to be even thinner, so she couldn't help but say, "This person's teeth are too black-hearted, don't you give food to the child, why are you so hungry?" ”

Zhao Fengnian secretly rejoiced, fortunately, he let them change their clothes and wash their faces first, otherwise Ruixue would probably be even more angry, "Let them eat more good food in the future, and they will be raised in less than two months." ”

Cui Niang was also embarrassed when she looked at it next to her, and sighed, "The two children who are so watery, I don't know what trouble the family has suffered, why are they willing to sell the children?" ”

Rui Xue called the two girls up, motioned for them to come to her, and asked, "How old are you?" ”

The older girl secretly glanced at Ruixue, and only replied in a low voice, "I'm thirteen years old, and my sister is twelve years old." ”

The algorithm of this time and space age, even if it is one year old, if it is based on the month, that is, twelve and eleven years old, it is when I was in elementary school in my previous life, I was actually sold into slavery, Rui Xue's heart was softer, she took her hand, and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"My name is Liu Cui," the big girl was halfway through when she was interrupted by her sister's voice, "We didn't have a name before, madam, let's get one." ”

Rui Xue carefully looked at the little girl's slightly stubborn face, and guessed that they must be dissatisfied with the relatives who sold them, so they wanted a new name, but entering the Zhao family like this is considered a new life, so it is better to simply change one.

"I haven't read a book for a few years, I don't have a good name, it's okay to take two ordinary ones, it's better to call them Caiyun and Caiyue, how about it?"

The little girl pulled her sister and knelt down again, "Mrs. Xie gives her name." ”

Ruixue helped them and said with a smile, "Caiyun, Caiyue, you will be my personal maid in the future, as long as you do your work well, I will ensure that you are well fed and clothed, don't be afraid, the family is all kind, you will know after getting along for a long time." ”

The two little girls answered, but they didn't have anything else, and Rui Xue didn't care, such a child who had gone through hardship couldn't believe people in two sentences, and they had to go and think about it for themselves.

"Sister-in-law, they are too thin, let's give them this chicken soup, and in addition to the cotton cloth I bought the day before yesterday, pick out two horses and make two sets of clothes for each of them. There are bedding in the storeroom, take two sets, let them live in the ear room, and if there is anything missing, you will watch and help them..."

"Okay, I'll take care of these things, go to sleep when you're full, the child in the belly is the most important, don't bother with anything else." Cui Niang smiled and took the small pot of chicken soup and led the two little girls down.

Rui Xue said a few words to Zhao Fengnian, she was really sleepy, so she went back to the house to sleep, and when she woke up, she could hear movement in the house in a hazy way, and thought it was Zhao Fengnian and asked, "Shopkeeper, what time is it?" ”

It turned out that a little girl replied, "Madam, it's the beginning of Shen Shichu." ”

Rui Xue was slightly startled, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that it was Caiyun standing at the table with a rag, and then she remembered that there were two more people in the family, and after a long pause, she sat up and said with a smile, "Why don't you rest for one night, and it's the same when you get up tomorrow morning and pick it up." ”

Caiyun had a look of panic on his face, and said in a low voice, "Mrs. Xie cares, we are full and can do work." ”

Ruixue was helpless, went down to the ground to put on her shoes, and when she walked past Caiyun, she smelled a strong smell of medicine, so she frowned and asked, "Are you injured?" ”

Caiyun immediately knelt down, "Madam, my sister and I can do the work, beg Madame not to sell us." ”

"What did I sell you for, I finally bought it back, where did you get hurt, is it serious?"

Caiyun saw that Mrs. really didn't look angry, so she said, "It's not serious, I was hit with a rattan on my back, and Aunt Cui gave us medicine." ”

Ruixue led her out, and saw that Caiyue was also drying clothes in the yard, but she was too short, so she could only jump on the bamboo pole, as if she had hurt the wound, and her little brows were furrowed, but she stubbornly refused to speak.

Rui Xue hurriedly called her forward and said, "If you have an injury, you should take care of the injury before doing the work, otherwise the wound will worsen, and you will have to take medicine and ask a doctor. ”

The two sisters looked at each other, both of them were a little disbelieving, and after confirming it again and again, they felt that the lady did not seem to be lying, so they went out backwards.

Rui Xue was helpless, she dried her clothes, and it happened that Wu Yu came back from class, caught him and lit the fire, boiled japonica rice porridge, steamed egg custard, fried one meat and one vegetarian two dishes, and baked some pies, just served on the table, Zhao Fengnian also came in from the front yard, Rui Xue said while setting the dishes and chopsticks, "You person, Caiyun Caiyue is injured, why don't you say it, I almost became a landlord who abuses child labor!" ”

Zhao Fengnian remembered that he forgot to say it, so he smiled, "But I was busy and forgot." ”

The family sat down to eat, after the meal, Rui Xue picked up the remaining porridge and pies, and sent them to the ear room, Caiyun Caiyue was sitting in one place, I didn't know what to say, I saw her come in, and hurriedly went down to the ground to salute, Rui Xue put down the tray, "This is dinner, you can eat." ”

The Zhao family, who entered the two little girls, ate chicken at noon, rice porridge and dough cakes in the evening, and there was some gluttony and joy in their eyes, thanked them, sat at the table, and controlled the speed at first, but then they bit into the dough with meat filling, so they couldn't help it, and ate it in a big gulp, as if they hadn't eaten a full meal for many years.

Rui Xue looked sad, looked up at the ear room, the kang was covered with new reed mats and new bedding, there was a copper basin stand in the corner, and there were tables and chairs under the window.

casually instructed two sentences, Rui Xue went back to the house, as soon as Zhao Fengnian saw her come in, he turned over a poetry anthology, pulled her into his arms, and must read it to her.

Rui Xue was helpless, last night but casually said "prenatal education", he asked carefully, today actually began to implement, presumably because he wanted the child to take the top exam in the future?

As a result, I only listened to five or six songs, and no one knew whether the child felt it, but Ruixue was successfully hypnotized and snorted from sleep.

Zhao Fengnian gently put down the book, kissed her forehead lovingly, put his big hand on her stomach, and touched his son, who might only be the size of a fingernail, satisfied and apprehensive.

In the dark night, the oil lamp illuminates the couple, and the shadow is cast on the snow-white window paper, intimate and warm...

After three or four days like this, the injuries on the backs of the two little maids scabbed, and they refused to rest, looking for all the work they could do, quick and diligent, and they were very loved by Sister-in-law Zhang and Cui Niang and others.

Caiyun embroidered two small osmanthus flowers on her and her sister's new dress, which is extremely exquisite, and Caiyue does have some talent for cooking, although it is just a stewed cabbage and potato, they are all farmhouse dishes, but the taste is good, so Ruixue secretly praised Zhao Fengnian's good vision, picked up two treasures and came back, and rewarded him with two fragrant kisses.

The days passed in such a peaceful period for more than half a month, the people in the village were busy with the spring sowing, and the leisure came down, just tomorrow is the full moon wine of the heart, although it is still in the filial piety of the sister-in-law of Qian, it is not easy to do it, but several families have a meal, or, Ruixue has dinner, and took Caiyun to Yun's house to see Kexin, and met the villagers along the way, the man nodded and said hello, and the woman stopped and said two words, and when she arrived at Deyun's house, it was dark.

The Yun family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were pouring hot water into a large wooden basin, planning to bathe the two children. This month, breast milk, goat's milk, change to eat, the two children are extremely white and fat, much healthier than other children, being held on the arm by Aunt Yun, every time warm water is poured on the body, they turn this little head, curious to look around, very cute.

Ruixue also wanted to hug them, but she was afraid of making them uncomfortable, so she took over the work of scooping water and had a lot of fun.

Caiyun followed aside, and when she saw Ruixue squatting for tea, she hurriedly said, "Madame, rest, be careful of getting dizzy." ”

Rui Xue was helpless, handed the scoop to Osmanthus and said with a smile, "These two little girls are now listening to Mr. and taking care of me very strictly." ”

Guihuaer smiled, "Mr. is also for the good of the boss, so you should be careful at this time." ”

"It's not, I heard Cui Niang say, you don't like to drink chicken soup, so what's the matter, you have to make up for your body more, so that the child can grow well." Aunt Yun also helped.
