Wang Ergouzi didn't believe her at all: "Passing by? The land in our village is outside the village, at night, what are you doing outside the village, can you pass by the melon field of Brother Dahai's house? ”

This king and two dogs are hard enough! He tasted the sweetness of selling melons in the past two days, and his net income in two days was a full hundred taels, which he couldn't have imagined before! Looking at his daughter-in-law's slightly bulging belly, Wang Ergou's eyes became gentle, and the whole person was full of the brilliance of fatherly love.

This is the money he earned through his labor and the family business he saved for his unborn son. In the future, his son will not be as poorly clothed and hungry as he was when he was a child, thinking about how to steal something and touch something......

After a few more days of serious work, he found someone to build five brick houses and buy more fields. His family can't grow it, so he can rent it to someone else to plant! Leave some family business for his son, and if his son is willing, he will also send his son to study in the school and take a reputation or something. If you don't want to, you will live by renting the land. In the future, he Wang Ergou will no longer be a second-rate son in the village who is disgusted by dogs and cats, and he will be able to stand up and be an upright person!!

In Wang Ergou's view, the melon field of the Yu family is the magic weapon for him to make a fortune, and he has to serve it well. Therefore, when he came back from selling melons today, he saw that Brother Hai was busy looking at melons all night, so he took the initiative to share it for him and took on the responsibility of guarding the melon field. Unexpectedly, as soon as it got dark, he caught a bad intention. Hey! Or Brother Hai's uneasy relative!

Wang Ergou doesn't care if he is a relative or not, he regards the person who steals melons as a guy who blocks his wealth. Brother Hai planted three acres of watermelons, picking one less one, and if one was stolen, he might earn a few taels of silver. What a result!!

The Li family, who was caught, cursed secretly in his heart. If Yu Hai was looking at melons in the field, she would not have been spread if she said two soft words. After all, in the simple Dongshan Village, unclean hands and feet will be spurned and isolated by the villagers. But today's melon is Wang Ergou, a thing that doesn't make sense, and he doesn't have a door on his mouth. If she was yelled out, what face would she have to stay in Dongshan Village?

"Brother Ergou, the melon belongs to my second brother's family, and I'm a sister-in-law, so it shouldn't be too much to eat a watermelon from my younger brother, right?" Li Shi knew that he couldn't be forced to come with Wang Ergou like this, so his tone softened.

Wang Ergou frowned, among the relatives in the village, you picked me a handful of beans, and I took a few eggplants from you. This seems to make some sense, but ......

Yu Xiaocao let go of her godmother's hand, took two steps forward, and said with a smile: "Uncle, you want to eat watermelon, just let Brother Heizi say a word!" Why bother in the middle of the night, without saying hello, go to the field to pick it yourself? Fortunately, we don't have a dog to watch the melons, or we will bite you as a thief, but what can I do! You see, Uncle Ergou is not a violent person, if he wants to change someone else, he can't help but say that he will be beaten first, can you bear it? ”

Ever since he was warned by the majestic General Fang with a black face, the Li family has been a little timid. Facing Xiaocao's gaze that seemed to be able to see through everything, her eyes couldn't help but dodge, and she said alongside: "That...... I ......"

"Auntie, you have always had a lot of eyes, but others are not stupid! In the future, it's better to do less of this kind of thing - godmother, let you see the joke......" Yu Xiaocao is small and has a young face, but the words he can say are sonorous and powerful, and they have a lot of weight, so that Li Shi does not and dare not refute.

There is another reason why she is so honest, that is, she heard Xiaocao call the noble lady next to her "godmother", isn't that the wife of Lord Fang? The people in the market are most afraid of dealing with officials, and the Li family is naturally a lot more honest in front of Mrs. Fang, and they don't dare to play those careful thoughts anymore.

Yu Xiaocao saw that she had a good attitude of admitting her mistakes, and thought that more things were better than less things, so she sent Li Shi home.

The Li family came out of the old mansion in a gloomy manner, and instead of getting the slightest bargain, he made a shameless scene. She returned home in a state of embarrassment, and when she saw that the lights were still on in the main room, the rat's eyes rolled and she knocked on the door of the main house. At this time, the Zhang family was worried about his youngest son! The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law avoided people for a long time, and when Li left, Zhang's calculating face suddenly disappeared......

The next day, Mrs. Fang woke up to the joy of the birds. Outside the window, the breeze gently rustles the leaf tops, and a bird with bright feathers peeks in curiously in front of the window, singing a gentle tune from time to time.

Linglong waited for Mrs. to dress and wash, looked at the beautiful bird outside the glass window, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that in this poor country, there are still people who are willing to use glass to inlay windows!" ”

Mrs. Fang took the handkerchief in her hand, wiped the water on her face, and said softly: "Old Man Zhao is a general of the former dynasty and is from a famous family. Although he has been on the run for many years, after all, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and there is still a family background. If you are not afraid of being too eye-catching in this village, it should not be a problem to build a delicate Zhuangzi on this mountain. You don't see these furniture, they look very simple, but they are made of mahogany and rosewood, which is very valuable! ”

Pearl, who has good cooking skills, presented the prepared food early, and said with a smile: "General Zhao's family is quite generous, and they left these to the Yu family." ”

Mrs. Fang sat down at the mahogany round table, rinsed her mouth with warm water, and then said: "General Zhao Xiao and Xiaocao's father are brothers and sisters, and Xiaocao's father saved General Zhao Xiao's life again, not to mention this house, even if you give more things, you can also make it." What about Hibiscus? Haven't gotten up yet? ”

"I guess I was too tired yesterday. Miss Fleur is delicate and expensive, how can she withstand this toss? Linglong smiled and said, "Otherwise, I'll call her ......."

"No, let her sleep more!" Mrs. Fang is not the kind of person who likes to make things difficult, she picked up chopsticks and prepared to eat.

The house has never been on fire here, and there are no other ingredients in the kitchen except for a few catties of white rice and white noodles brought by Xiaocao yesterday and a few vegetables. Therefore, compared with the general's mansion, breakfast can be called simple: a pot of white porridge, a few oil cakes, and freshly fried vegetables. The share of the second-class girl in the house is also richer than this! Pearl was worried that her breakfast would be rejected by her master, and she hung her head worriedly.

Mrs. Fang took a green vegetable, put it in her mouth and chewed it, and swallowed it with a slight frown. He lowered his head again and drank a sip of white porridge, which was so weak that it could not arouse people's appetite. She sighed softly and put down her chopsticks - it was really difficult to go from luxury to frugality!

"Godmother—are you up?" The crisp sound of the grass like a lark singing came from outside the door, and then the door was pushed open. A figure wearing an emerald green cross-necked skirt with playful double buns jumped into the door, carrying a large food box that was a little incompatible with her height.

Linglong hurriedly greeted her, took the food box in Xiaocao's hand, and said with a smile: "Miss Cao'er is really early, Mrs. has just gotten up and is dining!" ”

Xiaocao's eyes were crooked, and he said with a smile: "Then it's quite the right time for me to come!" ”

Entering the main room, she glanced at the breakfast on the table, which was barely moving. White porridge and green vegetables, even if she sees it, she has no appetite, let alone a godmother who is used to being pampered.

"Godmother, I cooked preserved egg lean porridge, crispy egg cakes, leek pot stickers, shrimp egg custard, and sweet potato cakes made with sweet potatoes dug yesterday! Taste it, it's still hot! Yu Xiaocao easily pushed aside the white porridge in front of her godmother, replaced it with the hot and fragrant preserved egg and lean porridge she made, and brought the other breakfasts in the food box to the table.

Looking at the table full of breakfasts with good colors and aromas, Mrs. Fang was moved. How early did the girl have to get up to make such a sumptuous breakfast with her own hands! Although she didn't know much about ordinary people's breakfast, she guessed that it must be extremely simple. These seven or eight coveted breakfasts were definitely specially prepared for her by the girl. Her eyes are hot, and she feels like a daughter's filial piety, which is so good!

"Godmother, eat quickly! If it's cold, it won't taste good! Yu Xiaocao also took a small bowl and put some porridge, sandwiched a piece of sweet sweet potato cake that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and watched her put it in her mouth, begging for praise with anticipation.

Mrs. Fang was amused by her expression, which was different from the sweetness of other desserts, which melted in her mouth, and the rich sweet potato aroma stimulated her taste buds. Well, this sweet potato cake tastes really good. I wonder if this sweet potato, which tastes good, will be used as a pariah's food?

After eating a piece of sweet sweet potato cake and drinking a mouthful of fragrant preserved egg porridge, this unique and fresh taste made her fall in love immediately. There are also crispy omelets, soft and refreshing shrimp custard, and delicious fried dumplings...... Mrs. Fang felt that this meal was more satisfying than all her previous breakfasts. Especially the way her daughter Xiaocao eats with relish, which makes people's appetite come up.

Xiaocao brought a lot of breakfast, and the mother and daughter had a lot left after they were full, and the breakfast that was withdrawn was rewarded to the two big girls. Pearl and Linglong waited for their master's meal, and they had long been seduced by the sumptuous breakfast, and the well-trained ones couldn't see anything on the surface, but in fact they had already coveted it.

When Xia Furong got up, all that was left was white porridge made of pearls, cakes, and fried vegetables. This eldest lady has never eaten such food, and she has a very angry temper. However, she didn't eat much last night because of her fighting with Xiaocao, and her stomach was already growling. If you don't eat, you'll go hungry! Xia Furong thought that her aunt was eating these things, so she was aggrieved and ate six or seven points full.

Mrs. Fang first came here and found that there were many things that needed to be added. After learning that Xiaocao had breakfast, he was going to take a look at the melon shop in the town, so he made an appointment to go on the road together. Xia Furong was apprehensive about the rugged and bumpy mountain road yesterday, so she took the initiative to stay at home. She only brought a little girl with her to serve, so Pearl, who was good at cooking, was also left at home.

The carriage of the Fang family that is still used to go to the town is specially improved, and the comfort is naturally needless to say. After crossing that section of the mountain road, Xiaocao comfortably leaned on the godmother's arms and squinted her eyes to make up for sleep.
