When Lan Yi got home, the baby was already asleep, and Liuzi, the coachman, and Chuncao were helping to clean the courtyard.

"Madam, let the little one go when you buy so many things, look at you, you hot one!" The sixth son stepped forward to take Lan Yi's back basket and complained.

"It's not much, Liuzi bothered you to help me get it to the kitchen in the East Chamber." Lan Yi wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Chuncao, Brother Wang, don't be busy, just if you can live in front of you, I will slowly clean up these bits and pieces." Hurry up and wash your hands and eat something, everyone is hungry too. ”

The coachman Wang smiled innocently, it was said that he should leave for home after sending Lan Yi here. But Lan Yi paid an extra fifty wen, and asked him to delay for another half a day to send his sixth son and Chuncao back to the Huang family in the county seat.

The sixth son came out and said with a smile: "Madam, let's help clean up and go back, the girl is still waiting for us to reply." ”

After Chuncao washed her hands, she saw Yu'er holding the package, so she stepped forward and asked, "Yu'er is really sensible, she can help with things." Sue sù sister, what's here? ”

Yu'er lowered her head shyly, and there were beads of sweat on her little face, "Meatloaf." ”

Chuncao smiled in surprise, she didn't expect Yu'er to answer.

"It's hard to cook at home, and there are only these snacks in the market, so I have to wronged you." Lan Yi washed her hands and opened the package and handed the meatloaf to the three of them.

"Such a big meatloaf, what grievances are there." Wang Huiyou took the cake, squatted on the ground and ate it.

The sixth son moved out of the small wooden bench: "Madam, this second uncle Wang's family looks good, and you will often come and go in the future, and you can also take care of it." ”

Lan Yi nodded, if the enemy is not found, this is a good place to go, it is better to take two children alone, and it is better to have relatives to help him.

Lan Yi entered the kitchen, used the newly bought fire sickle to burn the stove and the newly bought dishes and chopsticks, and boiled hot water for a few people.

When Chuncao saw the new bowl, she said with an unhappy face: "Second Uncle Wang's family is good, but that third daughter-in-law is not a fuel-efficient lamp." Madame, after she emptied the house, she took away all the pots and pans, and all the basins for washing hands in this courtyard. The slave didn't believe that she was taking all her own things! It's a shallow eyelid. ”

"Chuncao, Mo Qi. It's not worth a few bucks, so I'll just have more. Lan Yi was also going to buy a new one, and she didn't want to use other people's old things, "At least you see, isn't the kitchen pot still there?" ”

Lan Yi's tone was witty, and the three of them laughed out loud when they heard it. Wang Huiyou wiped his mouth and picked up a meatloaf again, and sighed: "As the saying goes, a broken family is worth a lot, and you still don't lack it." ”

"Brother Wang also saw that we orphans and widows have no income, how can we not lack silver. But you can't be unhappy for the sake of the two jujubes, right? "Besides, I am Wang Linshan's fake wife, these people are real relatives of other people, and they really can't take care of a few things of the Wang family.

Lan Yi saw everyone eating, so she walked to Yu'er and squatted down and asked, "Yu'er, are you still eating?" "The cooking cakes are not small, and Yu'er is full after eating half of them.

Yu'er shook her head.

Chuncao touched his head and asked, "Yu'er is full?" Sleepy or not, do you want to sleep? ”

Lan Yi gave Yu'er warm water and asked him, "Yu'er, do you want to pee?" ”

Yu'er nodded embarrassedly, Lan Yi took him to the thatched house in the southwest corner of the courtyard, and before he could enter, he was disgusted by the stench. Where is this thatched house, it is obviously a small enclosed place, stinking and flies buzzing around a pile of dung. There are two stones on the ground, and I squat on the stones when I and pee, and there is a dung fork and a pile of dry dung next to the wall, and then I shovel it and still put it on the pile of dung, which is okay?!

Lan Yi hurriedly turned around and came out, so that Yu'er was convenient outside the thatched house. This place was listed by her as a key project that must be renovated as much as possible.

I took him back to the main landlord's house and saw the baby sleeping soundly on the thick mattress he had used all the way.

Lan Yi took off Yu'er's coat and shoes, let him lie down side by side with the baby, and covered it with a thin quilt.

"Yu'er sleeps next to her brother, and my mother goes to greet the sixth brother and them, good boy."

Yu'er was also tired, so she obediently closed her eyes and didn't move.

When the six sons and the three of them finished eating, Lan Yi settled the rest of the car money, and gave the six sons and Chuncao a reward of fifty wen before they rushed back to the county seat, telling Xia Wan to be happy here, so that she could rest assured.

When the sun was about to set, Wang's second aunt Li came over to call Lan Yi's mother and son over for dinner, and saw that Lan Yi was scrubbing the furniture, so she hurriedly came up to help.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, these are not in a hurry, tomorrow my aunt will bring your brothers and sisters to help you clean up again. It's late tonight, let's go eat first, what about the others? ”

"Auntie, don't get your hands dirty, it's almost cleaned up." Lan Yi wiped her hands, knowing that she was asking about the six sons and three people, "The coachman is hired, and he will go back after saving the car money." Liuzi and Chuncao were the servants of Mrs. Mi, who returned to Huang County together, and also followed the coachman back to the county seat. ”

Li's expression flashed, Lan Yi's mother and son came back with a maid, a carriage and a servant, but the maid was obviously better dressed than Lan Yi, although Li had never seen anything on the market, but he also felt that these people did not look like servants of her family. However, Chuncao and Liuzi's respectful attitude towards Lan Yi was there, so she was a little puzzled.

"In this way, why should I leave them at home to eat before leaving, my aunt has prepared the meal."

Lan Yi said apologetically: "Second aunt, it's all because I forgot to tell you in advance, I'm also afraid that the sun will set and they won't be safe on the road." ”

"You're right, the kids are asleep?"

"Yes, second aunt, you go first. I'm going to wake up the kids and I'm going to go. Lan Yi wiped her hands clean, "These two children have been asleep for a while, and it is time to wake up." ”

Li nodded, and said two words before going back, Lin Yuan and his wife moved back to live, this house needs to be cleaned up, and there is a big stall in the yard.

The meals prepared by the second aunt and Lin Xi's daughter-in-law Chen should be considered very rich, with two meat and two vegetarian dishes, the staple food is coarse grain steamed buns and mixed vegetable porridge, as well as a few dishes of homemade pickles.

According to the rules of the country, men and women eat separately. Second Uncle Wang, Wang Linxi, Wang Linyuan, and Lin Xi's son Dafu ate at the Eight Immortals Table in the hall, and the rest of the female dependents took the children on the kang table in the East House. Lan Yi and her two children were let to sit on the kang by Li and Chen.

Li brought in five boiled eggs, one for Lan Yi's mother and son, and one for each of her two granddaughters. Chen's daughter is two weeks old, her nickname is Da Niuniu, Liu's daughter is one year younger, her nickname is Er Niuniu, the two children are good-looking, and they are two little balls. But I think it's Chen's female red is better than Liu's, and the small clothes on the big girl's body are embroidered with cute lace and flowers, which looks much more delicate than the plain clothes of the second girl.

"Mother, there are not many eggs at home, you might as well save up and sell them at the market for a lot of money, let's eat one less one." After speaking, Liu also gouged out his sister-in-law Lan Yi with his eyes, and Lan Yi didn't talk.

"You can't stop your mouth with so much food! Everyone, there is nothing to eat at home, you can make do with it. After Li finished speaking, he first moved his chopsticks, and a table began to eat.

"Second aunt, thank you and your second siblings for helping to prepare this big table of dishes, it's already very rich, where can we eat so much." Lan Yi said politely, picked up the porridge in front of her and fed the baby and Yu'er a few sips, and peeled eggs for the baby and Yu'er to eat, she didn't eat it herself, Lan Yi and Yu'er ate the cooking cakes, and they weren't hungry.

When Chen heard Lan Yi's words, he smiled kindly at her.

Liu Shi looked at Yu'er, looked at Lan Yi again, and couldn't help but ask again: "Sister-in-law, this child is five or six years old, right?" It doesn't look like you gave birth to it. "Lan Yi looks like she is only fifteen or sixteen years old, younger than Liu, Yu'er can't have been born to her.

"Yu'er is my adopted son, and she hurts as much as her own son." After Lan Yi finished speaking, she wiped the rice residue on the two children's mouths with a handkerchief, "Yu'er, this child is shy and doesn't like to talk, which makes the second aunt and younger siblings laugh." ”

Liu pouted and muttered: "Sister-in-law really has spare money, and her hair is thicker than our waist!" How much does this child eat and wear! ”

Yu'er shook and put down the chopsticks in her hand. Lan Yi frowned and glared at her, patting Yu'er's head so that he didn't care.

Although Li also felt that what Liu said was reasonable, she also saw Lan Yi's unhappy face, and glared at Liu: "The third family, I didn't see that the clothes of the second girl are dirty!" I don't know how to wipe the child's mouth, you are still a mother! ”

At this time, there was silence at the dinner table, only the baby and the two Niu Niu babbling. Lan Yi was calm, she wanted to get along with the second uncle's family, but she didn't plan to swallow her anger, she was not a soft persimmon, she relied on Liu's master.
