At noon the next day, the cold wind continued to blow.

There were two large braziers in the third lady's room, and the fire on the braziers was very bright.

It fills the whole house.

Aiju pushed the window with one hand and said, "Third lady, you have added too much charcoal."

"Aiju, why are you opening the window on such a cold day!" Zhu shouted:

Aiju explained: We burn charcoal, and when charcoal is burned, it will have charcoal gas, and carbon dioxide contains carbon dioxide, which is very bad for people's health······

"Just open the window?" Zhu asked:

Aiju responded: As soon as the air circulates, carbon dioxide will become lighter, and it will not hurt people.

Zhu replied: Is this true?

The third lady said: Mom, what Sister Aiju said is right.

Zhu Huai boasted: Aiju, you know a lot.

Aiju argued: I don't know much, it's that you haven't encountered this situation.

I haven't even heard of it.

"Dad, Mom, let me tell you, the reason why my daughter can live here is all because of this Aiju sister······" Third Lady says:

"Third lady, you are exaggerating, you should change the words to let me say it." Aiju continued:

Aiju continued: The third lady is a master, the slave is a servant, and it is a blessing for a servant to be able to serve the third lady.

Besides: the third lady treats the servant!

The third lady said: Sister Aiju and Xiaoya are sisters, and Sister Aiju's kindness to Xiaoya will never be forgotten.

Zhu Huai said blankly: What happened between the two of you!

Aiju replied: Dad, we're fine.

Zhu Huai shouted: Aiju, don't call it that! I sound awkward, I'm not a few years older than you······

"There are just a few of us in the house, I married Jin Lan with the third lady, and I will call you with the third lady - Dad, what's awkward!" Aiju argued:

Zhu Huai was stunned and said: This!

Ai Ju responded: Actually, it doesn't matter what it's called, it's just a title at most! You don't like me to call me "Dad", I'll call you "Grandpa" in the future.

Zhu Huai smiled and said: It's better to call "grandpa".

Zhu said: The eldest lady of the house, she is very enthusiastic about people, and when she eats in the morning, she specially invites me to come to her room to sit.

Zhu Huai asked: Xiaoya, how does the eldest lady treat you?

The third lady replied: It's okay! She helped me out a few times.

She also invited me to her room many times to play.

I've been there twice too.

But!

Zhu continued: But what!

Aiju said: Grandma, don't worry!

Let me tell you slowly, the third lady and the servant went to the eldest lady's room twice, and the eldest lady never came here once, and the eldest lady looked amiable.

I doubt it!

Zhu Huai said: Xiaoya, Aiju thinks thoroughly, this matter is by no means as simple as you see, you have a lot of rules, things are cumbersome and messy, no matter when, you have to keep an eye on yourself, you are kind-hearted, it is inevitable that you will not be jealous, or used, Aiju's mind is delicate, we are a little relieved to have her by your side.

Aiju called: Grandpa, Aiju is just a servant, Aiju can't help anything······

"Sister Aiju is not a servant! You have helped me many times and helped me through many difficulties······" The third lady rushed to say:

"Third lady, you speak of the servant so well, the servant is ashamed." Aiju interrupted:

"I'm the one to be ashamed of, if it weren't for me! Sister Aiju's feet! The third lady replied:

Zhu Huai looked at Aiju's feet and asked, "Aiju, what's the matter with your feet?"

Aiju put her feet together and said, "My feet are all right."

The third lady took a breath and sighed: Speaking of this, Xiaoya blames herself all the time, blame herself for being ignorant and breaking the rules of the house, so that she was punished by the old lady, and Sister Aiju almost died on the spot.

Aiju said: Third lady, no, sister, you don't have to worry about these old things.

Moreover, thou art not thin on thy servant.

Zhu asked: What is going on with Aiju's feet? Can you elaborate on that at the beginning?

The third lady continued: Mom, the matter between me and Sister Aiju - it's a long story, one or two sentences can't be said clearly, I'll pick a time to tell you well, today!

"Sister, where are your tongs?" Xiao Yong asked:

The third lady looked at the corner of the wall and answered: "Where are the tongs, where are the tongs?"

Aiju saw that half of the charcoal on the brazier opposite was half-burned, and called: Xiao Yong sit and don't move! I'll go in and get charcoal.

She stood up and walked straight to the carbon house.

The third lady shouted: "Mom, Dad, Xiaoyong, you come here to bake the fire."

Zhu Huai replied: There is still a fire here, and we will bake the fire here.

"Sister Aiju will add charcoal later, and those charcoal ashes will fly everywhere!" The Third Lady said:

Zhu Huai replied: "How big the ash will be if you add charcoal".

"Grandpa, grandma, you let me!" Aiju came with a bucket of charcoal.

Zhu Huai said: Aiju, you put down the bucket, and I will add charcoal.

Aiju put the bucket, picked up the tongs in one hand, and said: I'll come, I'll come.

Zhu Shi trembled: It's so cold on your side, but it's much warmer in our hometown.

Ai Judao: This is in the north of Guangdong, and it must be colder than your hometown.

The third lady continued: It doesn't snow in our hometown in winter, and it is snowy here in winter.

Aiju put the tongs into the charcoal bucket and asked, "Grandpa, grandma, has it snowed over there?"

Zhu Huai replied: I have been, but very little.

It's not as big as yours.

Zhu pulled Xiao Yong and called: Xiao Yong, hurry up and thank Sister Aiju!

Xiao Yong bowed and thanked: Thank you, Sister Aiju!

Aiju sat on the stool with a butt and said with a smile: Xiaoyong is so good! You're about the same age as my second son.

Zhu asked: Aiju, how many children do you have?

Aiju replied: I gave birth to three sons, the eldest son: Shishi, he is not at home now, the second son: Tumo, he is one year younger than Xiao Yong, and the youngest son: Shui Shui, he is 8 years old this year.

The third lady said: Xiao Yong is not afraid of life! I can get them to come and play with you.

Xiao Yong nodded and whispered: Hmm!

Aiju continued: Third lady, wouldn't it be inappropriate to let them come over!

The third lady replied: There will be something wrong!

Aiju said: The second lady is over there!

The third lady thought for a while and called: Sister Aiju, you told them to go to the house, and they are not allowed to stay in my room······

"Xiaoya, you and the second lady?" Zhu asked:

"Grandma, there are not many things to say about big families, and there are many things to say less, it's nothing more than that, competing for favor, jealousy." Aiju replied:

"Old woman, the water in Feng's Mansion is deep, so it's better for us not to participate." 朱槐 says:

Ai Ju said: Grandpa also said that the third lady is kind-hearted and amiable, and Young Master Feng can't put it down.

As a result, there is discontent.

Zhu said: Xiaoya, people are mutual, she won't hate you for no reason, you must have offended her somewhere!

Aiju responded: Grandma, the third lady is well-behaved, reasonable, and kind to people everywhere, how can there be any place to offend her! There is nothing but competition for favor and jealousy.

Zhu Huai called: Old woman, I told you a long time ago, Xiaoya will not have an easy time, there are many rights and wrongs of "big families", and if you are not careful, you will fall into the traps set by others······

"What I didn't expect was that Young Master Feng was so attentive to you, and he couldn't protect you." Zhu interrupted:

The third lady said: Xianggong is as good to me as ever.

However, the house is not controlled by him.

Ai Ju said: Young Master Feng is a human being, he is not an all-powerful person, he also has his own difficulties, there are some things that he wants to manage, but he can't manage them.

Zhu shouted: Xiao Yong, these days, you are staying in your sister's room, you are not allowed to run around, so as not to cause trouble for your sister.

Xiao Yong replied: I won't run around.

The third lady asked: Dad, Mom, I have one thing I want to ask you, has my father-in-law supported you in the past two years?

Zhu Huai replied: Young Master Feng has done a good job in this, Yuan Zhichao (Young Master Feng's servant in Guangdong) will send money to our family every year on schedule, our family's money for Xiao Yong's schooling, our family's food money to pay, and other household expenses at home.

The third lady sighed: Hearing what her father said, Xiaoya felt a lot better, Xiaoya married far away in exchange for the family!

However, when I think of my parents······

"My good daughter, I want to see you - it's hard to be heavenly, several times, I dreamed of you in my dreams, dreamed that my Xiaoya came back, and when I woke up, I found that it was a dream, and I had to secretly wipe my tears." Zhu hugged the third lady and whispered:

"Old woman, don't say it, your words are disturbing." Zhu Huai wiped his eyes and choked up:

Xiaoya hugged Zhu and cried: Mom, I miss you, I miss my father, I miss my brother, I want to go home.

Then, tears flowed from the eyes of the third lady.

"Shut up, if you want to go home, you can't let outsiders hear it, so that someone won't have to use this to play ······" Zhu said hoarsely:

"Mom!" Xiao Ya sobbed:

Xiao Yong came to the third lady, and several people hugged each other and cried "wow".

Zhu Huai held back her tears and said hoarsely: You all wipe away your tears, Xiaoya can marry Young Master Feng, it is a happy thing, we all have to be happy for her.

Aiju wiped the corners of her eyes and continued: Yes! Third lady, during your confinement······

"Wow! Wow! Wow! ”

Aiju got up and ran straight to the back room.

The third lady wiped the corners of her eyes and said: My little Lanlan is awake.

Zhu continued: My niece's name is "Xiao Lanlan".

The third lady replied: Her name is Feng Lan, and "Xiao Lanlan" is her nickname.

"The origin of her name is really laughable." The Third Lady continued:

"Third lady, the slave maid is going to call the wet nurse." Aiju shouted:

The third lady shouted: Sister Aiju, let me feed it today.

Aiju glanced at the third lady and handed Feng Lan to the third lady.

The third lady took Feng Lan and said: "Xiao Lanlan" usually asks the nurse to breastfeed.

Zhu Shidao: Why let the nurse feed! If she feeds her own children, she will kiss herself.

The third lady lifted her clothes and replied, "I also want to feed the child myself."

Unfortunately, I don't have enough milk.

Zhu Shi responded: Xiaoya, you eat more milk food and see.

Aiju continued: The servant eats three meals a day for the third lady to eat some milk food, what crucian carp soup! Pig's trotter soup! Chicken soup! Yellow Flower Tong Grass Soup!

Zhu replied: The lack of milk is really worrying.

Zhu Huai comforted: Xiaoya, the matter of feeding the child, whoever feeds it is the same! The child has grown up!

Zhu argued: You are not a woman, you can't understand it!

"Old woman." Zhu Huai shouted:

Zhu Huai continued: Young Master Feng's family has a big business, didn't he invite a wet nurse!

Zhu Shi was stunned and said: Yes, yes, Xiaoya, don't worry about such trivial things in the future, the most important thing is for the child to be well-fed.

Zhu Huai said: Xiaoya, you said that the name "Xiaolanlan" makes you cry and laugh, you!

The third lady said: On the day Xiao Lanlan was born, an incident happened in the house, from which the word "Lan" of Xiao Lanlan came from.

Aiju glanced at the third lady and said: Don't mention it!

Zhu Huai and his wife saw Aiju's behavior and deliberately changed the topic.

Feng Lan took a sip of milk and fell asleep quietly.

Aiju picked up Feng Lan and put her on the bed.

Zhu Huai said: "Xiao Lanlan" was very obedient, got up to eat, and fell asleep again.

The third lady replied: Children are like this, and eating and sleeping are their main way of life.

Zhu Huai replied: How can we not be like this! There are very few people who can eat well and sleep well.

Zhu continued: Xiao Lanlan is different, she was born in a big family, and she must be either rich or expensive.

The third lady replied: "I don't want to be rich", I just hope that Xiaolanlan will grow up safely and happily, and there will be no disasters in her life.

"When Xiao Lanlan was born, she opened her eyes, and the mother she was looking for was reasonable, docile and lovely······" Aiju sat on a stool and said:

"Sister Aiju, you don't want to make fun of Xiaoya!" The Third Lady interrupted:

Aiju replied: How dare I make fun of the third lady! The third lady might as well ask her parents if what I said is true!

Zhu said: Facts.

The third lady admonished: Xiaoyong, you are the male in the family, the family ultimately has to rely on you, it is not easy for our parents to raise us, you have to read good books, and when you go out of society, you will have the ability to change your life and change the environment you are in now.

Xiao Yong lowered his head and remained silent.

The third lady asked: Xiaoyong, are you doing well in your studies?

Xiao Yong stretched his waist and whispered: It's okay.

The third lady smiled and said: Okay, you have to come on!

"Third lady, it's time for dinner, you and your grandfather and grandmother go to the hall to eat······" Bob shouted:

"Bob, you go back, we'll ······ later" Aiju stood in front of the window and replied:

"Aiju, let's eat in the room!" 朱氏 says:

"Grandma, old lady, they are all eating in the hall, we hide in the room and don't go out!" Aiju responded:

Zhu Huai replied: If you want to walk a few steps, is it so difficult!

The third lady continued: If Mom wants to eat in the room! I'll go back and talk to Xianggong!

Zhu called: I don't want to eat in the room, the weather is so cold, I am worried when I go out of the room.

Zhu Huai replied: From here to the hall, there is no need to go over the mountains and mountains, no matter how cold the weather is, it will not freeze you to death······

"I'm dead, just what you want, so you can marry another one." Zhu Shi Dao:

"What nonsense are you talking about! In front of the kids! Zhu Huai responded:

"Dad, Mom, you two don't quarrel!" The Third Lady shouted:

"When we go to eat in the hall, the old lady will be happy, and no one else will pick anything! If we hide in our room and eat! Someone will seize this point to stumble Xiaoya, and we will be happy when we come, and we will be even more happy when we go. Zhu Huai argued:

"Grandpa, I am impressed by your words." Aiju praised:

Zhu muttered: Xiaoya, what Mom just said, you must not tell Young Master Feng, don't let people think! I'm doing something special.

Aiju replied: Grandpa, grandma, you are all sensible people.

"Aiju has won the prize!" Zhu Huai continued:

"Mom, Dad, the hall is mostly packed! Let's hurry over! The third lady exclaimed:

Zhu Huai shook his head and responded: Let's go.

Zhu said: Aiju, you help Xiaoya to walk forward······
