When the group returned to Dongshan Village, the fiery red sun was gradually approaching the West Mountain, inlaying a brilliant golden edge on the top of the mountain. Most of the villagers in Dongshan Village have just had dinner, and many elderly people and women have gathered under the old elm tree at the entrance of the village, playing chess and chattering.

Among them, the one who was fat and foaming at the mouth was none other than Yu Xiaocao's aunt Li Guihua. She was carrying a handful of melon seeds in her pocket, her mouth was squirming rapidly, the melon seed skin was flying around her mouth, and a pair of mung bean eyes were sneaking around, and she didn't know who she wanted to say badly.

Xiong Shi beside her smashed her with his elbow, and snuggled his mouth in the direction of the entrance of the village, saying, "Osmanthus, look over there!" Isn't it your brother-in-law and his precious daughter? I heard that they went to Fucheng with Zhao Orion the day before yesterday! Tsk, I've lived most of my life, and I haven't been to Fucheng yet, Xiaocao's girl, your little uncle is also like a treasure, wandering around! ”

"Hey~ what a treasure! In the end, it's not a money-losing product? "Li Guihua didn't take advantage of the old mansion since she went to the old house, and she had nightmares for a few days, so she didn't dare to go to the old house anymore. She also talked everywhere about the evil nature of the old house, how did Yu Hai's family ...... However, everyone in the village knew her temper, and few people took her words seriously.

Xiong's eyes rolled, and he shook with a smile, and said, "Shouldn't it be your little brother-in-law, seeing that the Zhao family is living a good life, you want to marry your children?" Tsk, if you want to get married, you don't choose Xiaocao's girl, a sick seedling, I don't know when I'm sick again! ”

"Who knows! The second child and Zhao Orion are sworn brothers, maybe the two of them will have something to do in Fucheng, and if Xiaocao is pestered to follow, the second child is reluctant to refuse at all! As for wanting to get married, it may not be impossible to kiss and kiss! The Li family snorted the melon seeds, and there were so many fathers and villagers around him, and they didn't know how to be polite, so they only cared about eating the seeds themselves.

Xiong pouted and smiled evilly: "Your little brother-in-law has a good calculation. The Zhao family is one of the richest families in our village. The blind bear who went hunting in the mountains with your brother-in-law last time heard that he sold it for three hundred taels of silver. Your brother-in-law is injured so badly, and he has a good relationship with Zhao Orion, so he must have shared a lot! ”

When Li heard that the blind bear had sold so much money, it was likely that it would all be distributed to the second child, and Lian Dengshi changed color, and said in a loud voice:

"I said! The second child moved out with a limp, and there was no decent labor force at home, but the days were getting more and more prosperous! It turned out that with his father and mother behind his back, he had lost so much money! No wonder he repaired the house, built the yard, and bought a lot of fabrics to make clothes...... No, I have to talk to my mother! When Zhao Orion sold bears and blind people, the family had not yet been separated! You'll have to compensate us for some! ”

Li stuffed the melon seeds in his hand into Xiong's hand and went back with a roar. However, before she could mention the money for selling the blind bear, she was scolded by the Zhang family, whose face had changed, and she was assigned a lot of work. In the next few days, it will be absolutely impossible to come out and hide again!

At this time, at the entrance of the village, the villagers saw that there were a few more heroic men wearing silk and satin around Zhao Lihu and Yu Hai, and they all whispered. The things Yu Xiaocao bought were all hung on the horses of Zhao Han and the two subordinates of Fang Zhen. First, because the donkey is too small to put so many things, and second, because she is afraid that she will be jealous if she buys so many things.

Fangzhen couldn't wait to meet his master after a thirty-year absence as soon as possible, and went straight back to Zhao's house with Zhao Bufan. Zhao Han took Li Li and sent the things to Xiaocao home.

When the Liu family heard that the guests from the Zhao family had come, they enthusiastically picked some of the vegetables in the field and brought them back to Zhao Han. Although Zhao Han's family also opened a vegetable field, no one in the family knows how to farm, and the vegetables are sparse, how can there be more vegetables.

Since Yu Hai's family moved out, the relationship with the Zhao family has become closer. Zhao Han sent some prey over every once in a while, and also helped to plant and harvest vegetables, and never spared any effort to do his work. The Yu family also sent some home-grown vegetables from time to time.

The Zhao family ate the vegetables sent by the Yu family, and they were even more disgusted with the greens in their vegetable fields. Even the old man Zhao Zimo has praised the Yu family more than once for being able to grow vegetables, and the dishes are so watery and refreshing, and they can eat two more bowls of rice! He felt that his body was getting tougher and tougher, and even the dark wounds left by the previous battles seemed to be much better!

Zhao Han also accepted the vegetables unceremoniously, and handed two red tomatoes to Li Li and them. Li Li followed the general to various mansions as a guest, and he had seen tomatoes. However, people are planted in pots as ornamental plants.

After tasting the sweet and sour taste of tomatoes, Li Li realized that tomatoes can be eaten as fruits! In the evening, when he ate a dish made of tomatoes, it dawned on him that tomatoes were not fruits, but vegetables!

After sending Zhao Han and the three of them away, the Liu family cleaned up the things that Xiaocao bought, and asked the father and daughter how they had eaten well in Fucheng in the past three days and how they lived. For Xiaocao's lavish spending, the Liu family is basically used to it. Fortunately, Xiaocao is also very profitable, so she won't say anything anymore.

The piece of muslin with an elegant tone that Xiaocao bought for her, Liu couldn't put it down. At the instigation of the Xiaolian and Xiaocao sisters, she compared the cotton cloth on her body, which really suited her very well, and fully brought out her demure and gentle temperament. Even Yu Hai praised Xiaocao's good vision!

Xiaocao took out the jewelry bag she was carrying, first took out the lilac earrings she bought for Xiaolian, and helped her wear them on her earlobes. The delicate earrings set off Xiaolian's red and fluttering little face even more exquisitely.

Liu Shi smiled next to him and said, "Xiaocao chose a good pair of earrings." A girl's house should have a few pieces of jewelry. In the past, it was difficult at home, but it is time to prepare some for your sisters in the future! ”

What little girl doesn't love silver jewelry? Xiaolian couldn't put down those earrings and beads, and she was reluctant to take them off when she wore them on her head. Yu Hai and his wife looked at her stinky and beautiful appearance with a smile, which was funny and sad at the same time.

"Mother, I bought it for you. Let's try to see if it's a good fit! Xiaocao took out the pair of silver bracelets and hairpins, and said as if offering treasures.

Liu let his youngest daughter put a bracelet on her hand, but said, "What is the silver money for?" My mother usually does work, how much trouble does it get to wear bracelets? Even so, she still feels very comforted in her heart, and having a daughter is intimate.

When she saw the magnolia flower silver hairpin, her eyes were hot, and the corners of her mouth trembled slightly. When she got married, her two brothers had just gotten married, and the family was not well-off. The magnolia silver hairpin that accompanied the marriage was her mother. 's dowry, usually my mother is reluctant to wear it, although it has been decades, it is still like new.

When Xiaocao was five years old, she was very sick. Zhang's excuse that he had just handed over the bundle to the third child and that he had no money in his family, he was unwilling to give Xiaocao medicine to see a doctor. In desperation, she became a silver hairpin for the marriage and asked her daughter for medical treatment. Every time she thinks of the silver hairpin, she has regrets in her heart, but she has no regrets. The silver hairpin is just an external object, no matter how valuable it is, it can't be worth the life of her daughter!

Now, a brand-new magnolia hairpin appeared in front of her, which was bought for her by her sensible little daughter. The vacancy in my heart seems to have been filled. If a woman is like this, what more can a husband ask for? She was glad again that she exchanged the silver hairpin for her youngest daughter's life!

Xiaocao saw that her mother's eyes were full of tears, holding the silver hairpin as if she was missing something, she interrupted her softly and said, "Mother! I've been missing you in Fucheng for the past few days! You're okay at home, didn't come over there to embarrass you, did you? ”

Liu Shi cherished the silver hairpin, gently blinked the warmth in his eyes, and smiled gently: "Your little mouth is like smeared with honey!" Everything is fine at home...... By the way, Wednesday Shao asked Xiaoduo to send watermelon seeds today. How do you think it should be planted? Don't delay the agricultural time!! ”

"No, it won't! Watermelon is a temperature-loving crop, and it won't get in the way a few days later! Let's get the kang in the west first, and the watermelon needs to be soaked and sprouted. It's still a little cold in the morning and evening these days, and you need a kang to keep warm. Yu Xiaocao also has a lot of experience in growing watermelons. In her previous life, when her parents did not die, she planted two acres of watermelons in the vegetable field, and when she was in junior high school, she was already half of the family's laborers.

The family sat around the kang and put the things they bought, and the Liu family went down to the kang to make dinner. The Yu family has adapted to the eating habit of three meals a day, and the evening meal is later than the evening meal in the village. Yu Hai's father and daughter ate dry food at noon, and the Liu family felt sorry for them, so they made a few more dishes.

Just after dinner, there was a knock on the door. Xiaolian rushed to open the door, and was greeted by Mao who was carrying a basket full of duck eggs.

Mao entered the main room with a smile on his face, sat down cross-legged on the kang, put the duck egg on the edge of the kang and pushed it to Liu's side, and said:

"I'm here to thank you little grass! Today, Brother Qian from Zhenyulou has booked fifty ducks from our family, and will come to pull them tomorrow. If it weren't for looking at your family's face, how could it be possible to buy so much at once and not let us clean it up. You don't know, in the past, the ducks were all ordered to be killed. It's hard to pluck the feathers of the ducks, when will these fifty ducks have to be plucked? ”

Liu is an honest person, and she said honestly: "We don't dare to take credit!" Today, Xiaoduo was helping in the backyard, and saw your Wuzi releasing ducks through the fence wall, so he said that your ducks were well raised, and asked whose family it was. I just said in passing, it's your family, but I don't dare to accept your thank you gift. ”

"If it weren't for your family's grass's ability, how could Zhenyulou need so many ducks? If it weren't for Brother Qian coming to your house to buy vegetables, how could you know that I have ducks at home? After all, we are still staining the light of your Yu family! Just a few duck eggs, what's the welcome! Mao took Liu's hand and was extremely affectionate.
