Chapter 22: What is Duty?
The taro looked at Mama's red and white face worriedly, and felt that Mama hated safflower, which was right! I was also angry to death when I heard Shu'er say this, not to mention the grandmother who looked at the young lady as an eyeball, so he dogged the chest of the grandmother and honestly persuaded: "Mama, don't be angry, it's not worth being angry with this kind of person, just like the young lady said, it's better to think about how to make good use of her value than to be angry with such a person." ”
Mama Li naturally knows this truth, and now they have no one to ask for money or money, no! There is still money, but the old man of her own family explained left and right, saying that it was Grandpa Guo who said that she must not show her wealth, although she felt that no matter how good their life was now, she would not be linked to wealth, and naturally she couldn't slap anyone's eyes, but in order not to go against Grandpa Guo's wishes, they could only be wronged Miss.
But although Mama Li knew that Grandpa Guo would never treat her own young lady badly, and it was impossible for her to be partial to the fourth young lady in the back, but Grandpa Guo did this, she still couldn't understand it, you must know that the house doesn't talk about wives and grandmothers, just a few young ladies can be described as luxurious, but their young ladies have to live this kind of life that is not as good as even the average lady of a big family, who would believe that the eldest daughter of the dignified Patriotic Mansion is living this kind of life.
Seeing that Xiangtaro persuaded herself worriedly, Mama Li still eased her face, and was funny that her young lady could speak, and nothing could be called a big deal in her eyes, so she nodded and said: "It's okay, now I will do what Miss said, I want to stumble on the red flower, you go to her house to get things in person, don't let Shu'er know too much, this girl seems to be already towards the fourth lady." ”
Through this afternoon's events, Xiangyao naturally looked at it like this, nodded and said: "Well, that's the reason, but I still think that there are not many people in our hospital, and I see that she is still a maintenance lady on weekdays, thinking about cultivating and cultivating, who knows that it is such a result, it's just that, it seems that we can only believe in ourselves." ”
Mama Li is so funny that this girl can still think about who is reliable or unreliable, so as to cultivate people, it would be good if she didn't make trouble for herself, and she also considered these, she was really a stupid girl, thinking about this, Mama Li smiled, nodded a little taro's head, and said angrily: "You! It's really a demon star, don't think about these things, all the people in this house are human spirits, and you can see it. ”
It's no wonder that Mama Li can't look down on the taro to look at people's eyes, the key is that although the taro was picked up by Mrs. Niang, Mrs. has never let her go to the deed, saying that it is a good child in case she is separated from the family, if she gives the child a deed, she will be considered a slave, she originally wanted to save people, but it hurt the innocence of the child, it is better to raise it first, if no one recognizes it, then say.
Later, no one came to look for her, Mrs. looked at the child and looked at the well-behaved, and did not mention it to her to sign the deed, at that time, Mrs. had not given birth to a young lady, so she was raised like this, Mama Li and Taro were also in love, and she was raised by her side like a daughter, or Mrs. said that if she was not on the deed and raised by her side, she would be the master of matching the child to Qingfeng, and it would be both, even if someone found out the identity of the child in the future, it could be regarded as a saying.
Since Mrs. Beat has set two small things, Mama Li can be regarded as both a daughter and a daughter-in-law of the taro, what should be taught to her is naturally not to be a subordinate of some skills, but to teach her the skills on the female red stove and the means of treating people and things with husbands and children, as for those people in the big mansion who should know how to observe words, look at colors, calculate people's hearts, etc., she didn't teach it seriously, after all, in the future, when the taro marries Qingfeng, she wants to be a young grandmother, and she doesn't really need to learn how to struggle with the slaves in the big mansion to survive.
But now Mama Li listened to the words of the taro, and then thought of the situation of the young lady, and felt that these things should still be taught to the taro, you know, even if you don't use it now, in the future, she and Qingfeng will get married, and the family will also invite some people, if you don't know how to read people, it will not be good if you are deceived by the slaves, so she made up her mind, not only to teach the taro, but also to teach the young lady together, but not to let the two children be fooled.
When Mama Li said this, the taro naturally didn't get angry, and she pouted busily: "I don't have any ability to look at people, but Mama you haven't taught me either!" In the future, you don't have to say anything about learning these useless, you don't have to learn to be like those girls, you have a deep scheming, it's not as good as the lady to do more needlework, learn to treat people and things, and now it seems that you have miscalculated. ”
Mama Li looked at the taro who complained with her with amusement, and felt that this daughter-in-law was really raised since she was a child, and she was caring! Then he smiled and said: "Okay, look at your mouth is about to hang up the oil bottle, what does it look like, by the way, I have something Qingfeng bought for you in my baggage, take it out and take a look, but you like it?" ”
To say that this Qingfeng and taro have not met much, but they know that everything is hung with taro, and if there are good things, remember to leave a copy of the taro, for this, it is very jealous for Mama Li, but the loss of the taro is brought up by herself, otherwise it is really easy to disagree with her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
When Xiangtaro heard that Mama said that Brother Qingfeng had brought something for herself, she was overjoyed, but in the end, it was a girl, and Mama was her mother-in-law, although they were embarrassed to be like a mother and daughter, so she asked awkwardly: "Mama, Brother Qingfeng is at home!" How is he doing by himself? Alas, there is no one at home to cook good food for him, and you rushed back in a hurry, Brother Qingfeng is afraid that he will not be able to eat the delicious food you made. ”
Mama Li felt sorry for her son when she saw the taro, and she was still ironing in her heart, but she couldn't say that she didn't go home today, she didn't see her son, these things were sent to the farm by Qingfeng early in the morning and asked his father to give them, so she had to smile and comfort: "It's okay, you're still afraid that he's hungry!" It's not that this kid has no money in his hands, there are many restaurants in Beijing, we can't afford big restaurants, and small restaurants can still go to a few times a month, so you can rest assured. ”
Xiangtaro only knew whether Brother Qingfeng was an apprentice or a young man in the shop, thinking that he might not have much money, and kept thinking that she would do more needlework to subsidize Brother Qingfeng, in fact, she also thought that it would be good if she could have monthly money like Safflower and Shu'er, even if it was a third-class girl, she could have 500 Wen per month, so that she could save more and give most of the remaining half to Brother Qingfeng.
At this point, the taro has always felt that she has dragged down the Miss, if there is no person who has no monthly money and shares, the young lady will not have to live so hard, you must know that in this yard they and the grandmother because they have no deed, they are the young lady's own people, so their monthly money and the share of the young lady have to pay for themselves, to put it bluntly, the mother is really serving the young lady, but she has no use for anything or the young lady supports her.
But the taro knows what kind of money the young lady can have, and the money for those months is also two taels of pocket money, and the hair fat powder that is usually used is distributed by the house on a monthly basis, and no one believes it to anyone who says that the young lady is not doing well, but they are often deducted from the case and don't buy it again, and they are a monthly money for three people, and the money that can be left is limited, and they have to prevent the three of them who are sick and have to see the doctor take the medicine to eat, the monthly money of the young lady is really not much!
So for the sake of not being able to make money, Xiangyu has been aggrieved in her heart, worried about Brother Qingfeng and guilty about Miss, I don't want to listen to my grandmother today, Brother Qingfeng can still earn some money, but I am happy in my heart, Brother Qingfeng doesn't have to be hungry, so I nodded and said: "So I can rest assured, neither of us has monthly money, and Miss has no extra money, even if there is any emergency in the future, but there can be no spare money to subsidize Brother Qingfeng." ”
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Mama Li angrily, patted her on the shoulder, and said angrily: "If you think of it, give Miss's rest of the money to Qingfeng, what is it, if Miss knows, it is not good." ”
After speaking, seeing that the taro looked at herself unconvinced, Mama Li sighed and explained: "I know you want to say that Miss won't, and I also know that Miss won't care about this idea, but we can't do this and can't think like this, although Miss and we don't distinguish each other, and they trust me to take care of all the money, but the more Miss is like this, the more we have to keep things for Miss, even if it's only a penny, it's the master's, and we don't dare to be special." ”
Speaking of these, Mama Li feels more and more that it is necessary to teach taro well as the things that the subordinates should understand, even in the future, she has to know the difference between the master and the subordinate when she becomes a family and is in charge of her own family, but she can't be raised as a young lady who doesn't understand the world, so she will still cause trouble to Qingfeng in the future, but this child also has such an idea for her son, although she shouldn't have this thought, but she can't be evil, Mama Li is not willing to train her very much.
In fact, the taro knows the duty that the next person should have, but first, she really feels sorry for Brother Qingfeng, and secondly, she doesn't want to use Miss's other things, only the money in Mama's hand, she thinks that she will use less, save her share of the good paste to Brother Qingfeng, but she didn't want to use Miss, maybe she didn't make it clear and caused Mama to misunderstand, which provoked Mama to reprimand.
Xiangtaro knew that Mama said that she was for her good, but she was not angry, afraid that Mama would worry about her, so she explained with a smile: "Mama rest assured, I understand in my heart that you are not saying this with Miss but asking me to keep my duty, I may not have made it clear just now, I said that there is spare money, not Miss Spare Money, I want to save some money to subsidize Brother Qingfeng, but I will figure it out now, I am also Miss's Miss, and I must not use it myself." ”
Mama Li didn't want the taro to understand so well in her heart, but she underestimated this girl every day, so it was good, she could rest assured, the two children became a family in the future, and the taro could be supported, so she smiled and said: "Okay, you are a good boy, but you have lived up to Mama's hard work, just keep these words in mind, if the young lady hears it, I am afraid that it will be sad." ”
