Chapter 70: Conscription
At this dinner, the family was very satisfied, the men were a little drunk, and the three children were even fuller. Huairen ate half a bowl of chicken cakes, ate a few spoonfuls of soup and rice, and ate some meat foam, the little guy liked it, he actually called out, he had to eat, and the old man Ming and Feng were very happy, and even Ming Youshou and his wife were very happy.
Pearl looked at Minghe and Shen with some concern, but Shen was busy feeding Zhu'er and didn't pay attention. Minghe was also very happy to drink. Pearl saw that Yu'er had no one to take care of, and she helped Yu'er pick up vegetables for this meal, but Yu'er didn't have time to thank her, so she patronized and ate.
Pearl also eats a lot, she can eat big fish and meat, but people are social animals, and it is really boring to eat alone. Since this home is a place where she wants to survive for the rest of her life, of course, it is still good for good things. After eating, Pearl went to wash the dishes, because the two daughters-in-law who cooked and did the housework left after cooking at night, and Pearl didn't want these rice bowls to be put until tomorrow. This will attract flies and cockroaches in the kitchen.
The Ming family cooks just right, especially in hot weather, so they can't put food, and they will be rancid overnight. In addition, today's meal is good, of course, there is no leftover. Pearl washed the dishes, and when washing the dishes, she deliberately put the soda in the table, and the dishes and chopsticks were clean, and even the kitchen was cleaner, and the rags were not a little greasy. Pearl is very particular about her work, and even the Wang family can't find fault with it.
Pearl happened to be busy in the kitchen, when she heard someone coming from the yard, and left not long after, Pearl walked into the house, and heard Old Man Ming say,
"The second child doesn't have to contribute, but we still have two people in our family." Old Man Ming said,
Ming Youshou also spoke, "The land at home is busy, and you can go with the eldest two." ”
Pearl walked in and asked, "What is that talking about?" ”
Feng Shi opened his mouth and said, "It's a matter of conscription, our family is three strong men, and the second child doesn't have to contribute if he wins the show, but your father and your eldest brother still have to go." ”
Pearl still knows about this, and it cannot be denied that it is still very hard to serve in the conscription, not to mention that he has to go out for half a month, and he has to bring his own dry food and food. Now there are more than 20 acres of land at home, all of which are busy with the family, and Pearl originally wanted to hire someone to come back to help, but Ming Youshou and his family refused, saying that farming is the duty of the farmer's family. Pearl listened, but felt that it was rare for her father-in-law and mother-in-law to have such a serious matter, so naturally she didn't say much. However, the family's meal pearls were also made, and the Ming family could eat delicious food when they came back.
During this time, there was a rare peace at home, and now seeing that the family did not have the idea of letting themselves pay for it, Pearl felt a little better, so he said, "According to me, it doesn't matter if this conscription does not go, I will pay the money for two people." Our family's land didn't hire anyone, my father and eldest brother worked very hard, and I also heard about it, and I went to talk about it for half a month, and I didn't give me food, so I had to bring it myself. Spend a lot, and suffer from sin. ”
Wang nodded and said, "If that's the case, then it's no better." ”
Feng thought in his heart, what the second daughter-in-law said was also right, anyway, the second daughter-in-law is also generous now, so he said, "Wife, what do you say? ”
Old Man Ming said, "The second daughter-in-law is a successful person, and the affairs of the family will be handed over to the second family in the future!" ”
Pearl said with a smile, "Grandpa, this is not good, my father and mother are in good health, and I am still my father's housekeeper." Both of us are supported by our families. It really doesn't have to be like this. ”
Although the Wang family didn't pay the money, he still didn't want to let go of the housekeeper's matter, so he also said, "She has a child's family, she is too young, how many things can she know?" The relationship between people in the village is also a big deal, and if the second child passes the exam, she will have to go with her, and it will not be impossible to manage the family at that time. ”
Wang's words are right, and Feng has nothing to refute, Old Man Ming! I don't know why, Pearl always thinks he is tempting. Fortunately, Pearl doesn't have any ambitions, so it's also good.
The pearl was out for a tael of silver, and the matter was over. Pearl also knows very well that the silver he got from the Wang family last time made the Wang family feel uncomfortable, and Ming Youshou also means this. If they pick it now, their hearts will be even more uncomfortable. Although I still have to make it back. But Pearl doesn't regret making such a big fuss, it's for you, it's not okay to rob it.
Early in the morning, the pearl went to the family of the happy event, today is the right day, the family is going to marry the daughter, the pearl brought his own congratulatory gift, a piece of muslin, red, the color is very good, today Feng and Wang are even better to send the pearl out, don't be in a hurry to come back, get the pearl began to doubt, this is not to drive her out of the door, and so on to see the Wang snatched the son over, only to understand, the two old ladies are robbing the grandson!
Pearl came over today, Shen is at home to watch the children, yesterday I made a day of pig water, today you can relax, yesterday they have been taught to make dishes such as liver tips, today's meal Pearl also came up with an idea. But fortunately, she didn't need to go to the kitchen at all, but let her sit down and follow the guests who came. It is also a very decent thing for Pearl to serve tea and water to the old people in the village as a talented lady. Pearl also took the opportunity to mingle with the old people in the village.
When the little girl from the village came, the pearl was replaced, she was outstandingly dressed, and she was beautiful, although she was now the mother of the child, but she didn't look too young. I was surrounded by a group of young girls and daughters-in-law to the boudoir of the girl to be married, and accompanied the anxious girl.
Pearl saw that the girl's dowry was embroidered well, and Pearl finally helped embroider two peacock feathers on the hijab, because the craftsmanship of the pearl was more vivid. Pearl doesn't have much contact with the little girls on weekdays, and now it's standing with the little daughters-in-law in the village, this time it's rare to be so close to the pearl, and some of the little girls who are wandering open their mouths to ask the pearl,
"Second sister-in-law of the Ming family, tell us about your eyebrows! Your eyebrows are really beautiful. ”
Pearl was named, and she didn't shirk, looked at the little girl in front of her, and said with a smile, "It's not appropriate for you to repair the same eyebrow shape, it's not as good as a crescent eyebrow." ”
As soon as everyone heard that she could still know the shape of her eyebrows, and that she didn't mean just one, everyone was interested. Pearl first showed the girl in front of her, and then went to see the bride's eyebrow shape, the bride is a girl with a long face, Pearl asked her to keep a word of eyebrows, let people repair it according to what she said, and took an eyebrow pencil to help draw it twice, the bride is really much more energetic. Now the women in the village are all interested, Pearl gives advice according to their face shapes, everyone laughs, and it is very lively for a while. (To be continued.) )
