"Zhuzhu, is the mat woven by my mother and aunts beautiful?" Yang Lihua gently kissed her daughter's little face, causing Zhuzhu to giggle, and her big eyes were bent into crescent moons.

"Of course it's drifting, mother's best! Mother is more powerful than Sister Weaver Girl! ”

Zhuzhu's little chubby hand held her mother's kiss and kissed her back, proudly lifted her meaty double chin, and shouted, "When I see Sister Weaver Girl in the future, I will tell her that my mother is better than her!" ”

Yang Lihua was coaxed by her daughter to be sweet and warm, and hugged her tightly for a long time before asking, "Can these mats be sold?" ”

"Yes!" Zhu Zhu nodded vigorously, and the little pigtails on her head followed, "My mother has earned money, buy snacks for Zhuzhu and buy pearl flowers!" ”

Yang Lihua was so happy that her heart, which had been hanging for several days, immediately fell to the ground.

"Okay, my mother has made money, and I will buy you good things! All to the mother's baby beads! ”

The fat girl swayed happily, and her smiling face seemed to bloom.

Old Man Tai came in from outside, and he couldn't help but laugh when he saw this.

He stepped forward to pick up his granddaughter and instructed his eldest daughter-in-law, "You go and get busy, I'll coax Zhuzhu." ”

Yang Lihua hurriedly said, "Okay, Dad, I'll go and sort out the cashmere mats and pack the boxes, the third said that the caravan will leave tomorrow morning." Dong Niang is preparing dry food for them on the road, and she is also busy. ”

The old man nodded, then took his granddaughter into the wing, and deliberately walked around next to Tai Jiye, Tai Yongan, and Chen Ruiyang, and then quietly went out of the door.

"Zhuzhu, did you see your third uncle on their heads just now? What color is it? ”

Zhuzhu looked around, then leaned in his grandfather's ear and asked in a milky voice, "Grandpa, are you worried that the third uncle and his brothers will run into bad people when they go out?" ”

"Zhuzhu is so smart!" The old man touched his little granddaughter's hair, sighed and said, "Grandpa is really worried, but Ruiyang is too young, and it is too dangerous to find relatives by himself, so you can only send it to your third uncle and eldest brother." ”

Zhuzhu nodded her little head and hugged her grandfather to comfort, "Grandpa is not worried, the third uncle and eldest brother are white, and Brother Ruiyang is gray!" The third uncle said that he would buy fun things for Zhuzhu and come back! ”

The old man's frowning brow spread out at that time, "Really? Haha, then I'm relieved! ”

Tai Jizu and Tai Jizong came around from the backyard, it was rare to see Dad so happy, Tai Jizu asked, "Dad, tomorrow morning we will send the third child to the city gate?" ”

The old man hurriedly waved his hand, "No, I'll send it to the second child, you stay at home, and you will be on the beam in two or three days, there is a lot of work, you have to keep an eye on it." ”

"Got it, Dad." Tai Jizu responded.

The grandfather sat under the eaves of the porch and talked, and soon, dinner was ready, and the family gathered together to have a lively meal.

After the meal, the table was removed and Tai Jiye was busy preparing three bags.

More than 200 cashmere mats were packed into five freshly made wooden boxes in case of rain, and a layer of oiled paper was also padded into the boxes.

In the past few days, Yang Lihua has not only taught the women in the village and controlled the quality, but also pondered the use of cashmere thread to measure the size of ordinary men's bodies and knit a set of clothes and pants.

She plans to take them all away with Tai Jiye to see if she can find a buyer.

In addition, the clothes and materials of the three of them were packed into a box, and the rest of the dry food and pickles prepared by Liu Dongniang were packed into wicker baskets.

Yang Lihua was in the light of the oil lamp, and her subordinates quickly threaded the needle and thread, sewing pieces of gold leaves into one of Chen Ruiyang's middle clothes.

The small golden melon seeds were sewn into the edge of the trouser leg of the dirty pants by her.

As long as you don't get your clothes and pants in your hands, and carefully search inch by inch, you will never find these hidden belongings.

Tai Jizu was honest, sat on the side and said, "Lihua, don't you be so guarded, right?" There is a large caravan on the road, and there are Jiye and Yongan to send Ruiyang. ”

Chen Ruiyang accompanied Zhuzhu to play with sachets, he also felt that he didn't need to be so careful, and he didn't want his aunt to suffer because of this.

"Uncle, I must listen to the words of the third uncle and the eldest brother on the way, don't worry, there will definitely be no danger."

Yang Lihua didn't listen to them, her subordinates were still busy, and she didn't say until she finished sewing and stuffed her clothes and pants to Chen Ruiyang.

"Ruiyang, maybe I'm too careful. But the heart of harming others must not be there, and the heart of guarding against others is absolutely indispensable. When you get to the south, before you enter your father's house, make sure to take the opportunity to change into this coat, and don't tell anyone that there is gold hidden here, including ...... Your Daddy! ”

Chen Ruiyang was a little stunned, slowly figured out the meaning of these words, and then looked at Yang Lihua, his eyes were a little disbelieving and frightened.

Yang Lihua sighed, patted him on the shoulder, and changed her conversation.

"My hometown is also the capital of the southern state, and since I was a child, my father and mother have been strict and kind, and my clan has been kind, and I have grown up like a jewel. Later, my parents unfortunately fell ill and passed away one after another, leaving me with an orphan daughter.

"The clansmen immediately changed their faces and forced me to be a concubine for a landlord who was over half a hundred years old. When I refused, they accused me of fornication, and put me in a bamboo cage and sank me into a pool.

"If it weren't for my luck and luckily picking up a life, I'm afraid I would have become a lonely ghost by now."

These things, let alone Chen Ruiyang, even most of the people in the Tai family have heard of it for the first time.

Liu Dongniang's distressed eyes were red, she only knew that her sister-in-law was an orphan girl, and she was brought back from the south by her eldest brother to become a parent, but she didn't expect to have such a bumpy life experience.

Tai Jizong and Tai Jiye subconsciously introspect, did they make their sister-in-law angry on weekdays. It's not easy for the sister-in-law to take care of their two uncles in every way, if there is something wrong with them, it will be too unconscionable.

Tai Yongan clenched his fists, his face turned red with anger, and he screamed, "Mother, where is your hometown, I'll go to avenge you!" ”

Tai Yongning, Tai Yonglu, and Tai Yongyue also nodded vigorously, eager to eat those enemies.

Zhuzhu was like a small cannonball, and she even plunged into her mother's arms, hugging her mother's neck and shouting, "Mother, those who bully you are all bad guys!" When Zhuzhu grows up, go and beat them! ”

Chen Ruiyang was very guilty, if it weren't for him, his aunt wouldn't have mentioned these sad things.

Yang Lihua thought of the past, and naturally felt uncomfortable, but the family and children maintained it so much, she seemed to be wrapped in the warm sun, and quickly dispelled the sporadic haze.

She patted the children and said with a smile, "Don't worry, it's all in the past, I've almost forgotten it." Besides, if it weren't for their oppression, I wouldn't have come to our house!" ”

After that, she took Chen Ruiyang's hand and instructed again, "Ruiyang, Uncle Niang talked about this just to tell you that if you are sharp, anyone will become ugly and terrible!" At all times, be sure to give yourself leeway, protect yourself at any time when you can run for your life.

"When you go to the south and see your father, he only says that all the family property has been burned and there is not a penny left, and you must not talk about the private treasury. If you ask about your third uncle and Yong'an's eldest brother, you will say that they are your uncle's friend's stewards, and they are only responsible for sending you to the south.

"And the gold in your trousers, never tell anyone, and don't take it off when you sleep. What if your dad is there...... There are things that make you unhappy, and this gold is your life, and even the confidence to escape back here, you know? ”
