When the commoners are comfortable, the housewives are happy and idle.

The Liu family and the Chen family gathered on the hot kang of Lan Yi's house, talking and laughing. The two did not feel uncomfortable because of Lan Yi's identity change, but felt happier. In Liu's words, "Our concubines are going to make money in one place in this life." ”

"Sister-in-law, the first leek in the greenhouse in our village has come down, and the price of vegetables is not cheaper than last year, so everyone is happy." Chen said as he stroked the soles of his shoes. She is making winter boots for Lin Xi, although Lin Xi is more busy in the countryside, Chen feels sorry for her husband, and plans to make him a pair of thick winter boots before the cold weather, so that his feet will not freeze when he goes in and out. Now the family's money is much looser, and even she has pocket money in her hand, and finally no longer worries about her husband and children not having cotton clothes for the winter.

Liu Shi sat by the window, holding the copper mirror brought back by Lan Yixin while knocking on the pumpkin seeds, and shining left and right, "My father-in-law also soaks in the greenhouse every day and doesn't come out, I went in this morning and saw that the shallots were two inches high, and the father-in-law took Dafu to pick the grass one by one." ”

Dafu is the only grandson of Second Uncle Wang, and he is deeply favored by the second uncle, Liu touched his belly, and then thought that he was still young and let go, "Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, why do I feel that I have tanned a lot?" ”

Chen Shibai glanced at her, "The ground has been soaked for more than a month, can it not be dark?" ”

She also took advantage of the effort to draw the thread, touched her face, and her smile couldn't be suppressed.

Lin Xi bought her facial grease hand balm and bath beans for rich people to take a bath a few days ago. When Lin Xi secretly gave it to her, his face turned red, saying that Shang Ji's ship went out to transport the goods and brought them back by the way, and it was not worth a few dollars, so he brought her some back, so that she didn't have to save it. Of course, the mother-in-law also has a copy, but she and her mother-in-law's bath beans are not the same kind, the husband gave her mother-in-law bath beans with green wood incense and sweet pine incense, and her bath bean noodles with cloves and atractylodes. According to what his sister-in-law said, Chen first washes his hands and face with bath beans every day to remove oil, then washes it with rice water, and then applies grease and hand cream, and his skin is really getting more and more delicate.

"Sister-in-law, is the face fat you brought back easy to use?" After Liu finished taking the photo, he climbed to Lan Yi's side and asked with a smile.

The facial fat that Lan Yi is using now is given by Mrs. Zhou, and the natural effect is good, "I can use it, and there are still two boxes at home, you and your second brother and sister will try one box when you take it back." ”

Liu's chick nodded like a peck of rice, and the sister-in-law was also soaking in the ground every day, but her face was white and red, although she was a few years younger, but there must be a reason for the fat.

Chen hurriedly waved his hand, "Sister-in-law, no need, you can keep it yourself, we still have it at home." ”

Lan Yi took out two small boxes and put them on the table, "It's not a good thing, let's learn from Aunt Yao to make it ourselves when it's used up." ”

In this era, the facial grease is all natural, and she only heard Jia Shi talk about some methods of adjusting facial fat for different purposes two days ago, and she wants to take some medicinal herbs to try herself.

Liu Shi opened the lid of the face fat, exaggerated his nose and sniffed hard, and then leaned next to Lan Yi to smell it, although this face fat was fragrant, it still didn't smell as good as the fragrance on the sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, it's cold now, you still take a bath every day?" ”

Lan Yi nodded, after the greenhouse was buckled, she lifted the bath bucket into it again, and used a screen to separate a place for bathing, taking a hot bath can not only relieve fatigue, but also good for the body and skin, she likes it very much. Now that there is more Jia at home to help her take care of the wind, she doesn't have to worry about no one to take care of her two children, so she naturally soaks more diligently.

"It's still the sister-in-law who is diligent, which of the women in our village doesn't wash it once every few months, not to mention anything else, just a lot of firewood for bathing, if it weren't for the greenhouse, the sister-in-law would have enough firewood to cut it." After Liu sighed, he remembered the matter of going out to play, "When the winter solstice is a year old, let's go to the city for a walk, we have worked hard for a year, it's time to treat ourselves." Sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, I want to go to the Xia family's silver building to buy a silver pendant with lilacs. You see, right? How beautiful the lilac pendant of the newly married daughter-in-law who made a fortune on Thursday wears. ”

Lan Yi remembered that there were several pairs of silver earrings and earrings in the jewelry she brought back from Meixian, so she took out the jewelry box from the kang cabinet, put it on the kang table and said: "These are some of the jewelry I brought back from Meixian, you two can see if you like it, choose a few pieces, and I will also put them here." ”

There is no woman who does not love beauty, this time not only Liu, but even Chen also came up and looked curiously. There are more than a dozen pieces of jewelry in the box, earrings, earrings, hairpins and beautiful silk flowers, etc., silver jewelry is inlaid with small broken gemstones, silver and white while the red sapphire is very dazzling, silk flowers are also delicate and beautiful, not can be bought in this market, where are the two embarrassed to take.

Lan Yi pushed the box in front of them and said, "These were given to me by the old lady when I was in the Wang family. I can't wear my current identity out, you two pick a few by yourself, otherwise I can take it for you directly, and don't complain if you don't like it. ”

When Liu heard this, he reached out and took a red peony silk flower, "Sister-in-law, this flower is so beautiful, it looks better than the one blooming on our hillside." ”

Chen also chose a purple-blue silk flower, "Sister-in-law, we have your light again this time." ”

Silk flowers are cheaper than silver jewelry, they don't want to take expensive things, which is why Lan Yi likes to get along with them, even if the Liu family is greedy for a little cheap, they also know how to be measured, and the Chen family knows how to advance and retreat.

Lan Yi saw that they were no longer taking it, so she reached out and picked out two pairs of earrings and handed them over.

Liu Shi was overjoyed, happily put on earrings and silk flowers, took a picture with a bronze mirror, a pair of red phoenix eyes deliberately raised, full of spring, "Sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, do you think we are more neat than when we were the new daughter-in-law?" ”

Chen took a sip of her: "You better go home and ask the third brother." Sister-in-law, the relationship between you and Brother Tuesday is also settled, when will you get married. ”

Lan Yi was a little embarrassed: "I haven't set a date yet, because my eldest brother Chunrong hasn't married yet, and my mother thinks about doing it for him first before talking about our affairs." Besides, I'm still young, and I won't be in time until June next year, so I'm not in a hurry. ”

"Hey, sister-in-law, you are not in a hurry, Brother Tuesday will be in a hurry to marry you back, he is a few years older than my Lin Yuan." Liu reached out and put Chen's silk flower on his head, and looked at himself at the bronze mirror at a different angle.

Chen Shi glanced at her, "Sister-in-law, I heard my father-in-law say that the ninth day of this month is an auspicious day, and it is advisable to make an alliance." On Tuesday, my brother booked the ninth day of the first month and brought the matchmaker to the door to ask for marriage. Although the two of you have been engaged in Meixian, he said that this time it will also be according to the full set, you see how much Brother Tuesday attaches importance to you. ”

After coming back, Zhou Weiji and Lan Yi didn't say a few words, and these were all discussed by him with his father, Second Uncle Wang and others, so she naturally didn't know. When he was in Meixian, Zhou Weiji brought tiger skin and tiger bones to the door to ask for marriage, and he didn't know if he told him not to let him go hunting, but he didn't listen.

Even if it is a slack farm, the rice still has to be made. Chen and Liu went home to cook at noon, and Lan Yi and Jia also packed up and fed poultry and livestock to prepare lunch.

Jia Shi looked up at the gate from time to time, "It's been so long, why haven't Wenxuan and Yu'er come back, Tao'er, or I'll go out to meet them?" ”

"It's okay, they went to the edge of the village to play dog holes, and they will definitely come back for dinner at some point." Yu'er and Wenxuan have been out for less than an hour, and they are all carrying bamboo cups, which is not a problem.

"It's not far from Huaxi, and now the stream is so cold, it's amazing for the children to fall, I'd better go and take a look." Jia is still not at ease.

At this moment, Yu'er came back with her younger brother, followed by Niu Dan and Yang's eldest son Zhou Feiyu as usual. Zhou Feiyu's nickname is Sanwazi, a tiger-headed tiger-brained, he likes to eat Lan Yi's food very much, and now he is even more obsessed with the food made by Jia's family, so he often comes to rub rice, not to mention cow eggs, and can't wait to live in Lan Yi's house every day.

When Jia Shi saw them coming in, he hurriedly went up and pulled Wen Xuan to take a closer look, and when he saw that he was not injured or wet his clothes, he breathed a sigh of relief, and washed his hands and faces with warm water for several children.

Lunch was chicken soup rice noodles, and Lan Yi made a round poached egg for each person, sprinkled with fresh shallot foam, and a few drops of sesame oil, which was fragrant.

"Auntie, I like to eat the rice noodles you make the most, I can eat several bowls in one meal." The cow egg mouth is sweet, and he quickly praised it when he saw the rice noodles on the table. The third baby was already lying on the edge of the bowl, "sucking" and drinking soup without talking.

"Mother, I can eat two bowls too." Not to be outdone, Yu'er hurriedly expressed her attitude.

Wen Xuan pushed away Jia's handkerchief to wipe his face, and also shouted, "Baby, eat two bowls." ”

Jia Shi still wiped the water droplets on Wen Xuan's face a little bit, "Little ancestor, how big your belly is, how can you put down two bowls!" ”

She pulled Wen Xuan to sit down, scooped out a spoonful of rice noodle soup for him in a small bowl, blew it cold and fed it to him.

"Grandma, baby, you have to eat by yourself." Wen Xuan refused to drink, and pointed to the big bowl and said. Now that he has learned to use a spoon, Lan Yi has made all the rice noodles in his bowl into small pieces, which can be scooped up with a spoon and put into his mouth, and it is not troublesome to eat.

"Okay, grandma will blow you cold before eating, it's hot and it's amazing." Jia Shi hurriedly brought the big bowl to him and tested the temperature with his hands, Jia Shi didn't like to talk the most, but every time he was in front of Wen Xuan, he couldn't help but nag.

"Aunt Yao, the rice noodles are not hot, let Wenxuan eat them by himself, you can eat them too, it's not good if it's cold." Lan Yi served a bowl to Jia, and Jia nodded and picked up the chopsticks, but his eyes still paid attention to Wenxuan's every move, for fear that he would burn himself.

The rice noodles are cool for Lan Yi, the temperature is just right, and Lan Yi also put them all in long-sleeved pockets for eating, and she herself is also paying attention to it, Wen Xuan is only more than two years old after all, although Lan Yi wants to exercise his autonomy, he is not at ease. It's just that her expression is not as obvious as Jia's.

The four children snorted and ate deliciously, and Jia Shi saw that the young master of his family was really eating and living like a country child, and he couldn't say whether he should be happy or sad. The old lady told her that Young Master Wenxuan's affairs made her listen to Chun Tao more, unless Chun Tao treated Wen Xuan slowly. She saw that Chun Tao really liked these two children, and she was thoughtful everywhere, and she was just helping on the side.

After the meal, Niu Dan and Sanwazi touched their stomachs with satisfaction and went home, Jia Shi took the dishes and chopsticks to clean, Lan Yi took the two children into the house to rest, and listened to them chatter about who they played with, how they won or lost, who was skinned again, and so on.

After the two children fell asleep, Lan Yi walked out of the house and helped Jia feed the chickens and ducks. After the peonies on the hillside were cleaned up, Lan Yi took the ducks home and raised them next to the chicken pen. One hundred ducks bought in the spring, and now there are forty-three left, Lan Yi has a heart this time, and when she catches it back, she asks Lin Xi to help distinguish the male and female, the male ducks have red ropes tied around their necks, and now there are five with red ropes, and the rest are female ducks. Coupled with the dozen hens and three geese laying eggs in the family, even though the weather is getting colder now, the family still has an adequate supply of eggs. In addition, there are two goats at home that are producing milk, and she drinks fresh goat milk every day, so she feels that her small life is very moist.

A few days ago, she bought it from the market and kept it in the pigsty, and now the swill from the pot is finally useful.

After cleaning up, Lan Yi pulled Jia Shi to the East House to sit down, intending to talk to her about Wenxuan's education.

The Jia family still served Wen Xuan as a young master in his consciousness, and he couldn't wait to give him a ready hand to his mouth, as long as Wen Xuan wanted to do it, the Jia family would be up to him. Lan Yi saw Wen Xuan drop toys several times, go to the chicken pen to catch male pheasants and pull feathers, and even the freshly drilled vegetable seedlings in the greenhouse were all pulled out by him to play.

Looking old at the age of three, Wenxuan now is the time to develop good living and thinking habits, if this continues, even if the baby's nature is good, there will be problems. R1152
