Chapter 172: Niang always comes first
Hearing the sound of the door being closed, Land Rover pursed his lips and looked at Zhou Xiaohua's back. Finally, he slowly walked to the door and sat down.
Daddy's meaning, if he doesn't let his mother go out, then he and his younger brother sitting by the door should be able to block it.
Zhou Xiaohua was trapped in her own thoughts, and she didn't notice the movements of her two sons at all.
In her mind, heaven and man were at war at this time. On the one hand, he was soft with Tang Mian, and on the other hand, Lu Dashan was wearing the official uniform of the Inspection Department and was majestic.
Thinking that his head was about to crack, in the end, the majestic Lu Dashan won.
She has quarreled with Tang Mian for more than 20 years, and she will avoid Tang Mian in the future, as long as she can't see Tang Mian, she can't quarrel.
After figuring it out, Zhou Xiaohua gritted her teeth and turned around and walked out.
"Huzi, take your brother and mother out."
Land Rover paused, stood up and pressed against the door panel, his dark eyes stared at Zhou Xiaohua, and said stubbornly: "Mother, Dad said that you should not go out for the past two days." โ
Lu Bao blinked, looked at his brother on the left, looked at his mother on the right, moved his small steps and chose to stand beside his brother, following his brother's example, and pressed his little body tightly against the door.
Zhou Xiaohua rolled her eyes unceremoniously, "Just what your little body can block!" โ
When the words fell, the left hand Land Rover and the right hand Land Leopard pulled the two aside and opened the door.
"Okay, your mother and I are not going out to quarrel, nor are we going out to fight, you two stay at home."
With that, he crossed the threshold and closed the door reflexively.
She was going to find Tang Mian.
Tang Mian didn't know that Zhou Xiaohua came to her again, and she was bent on looking for dandelions in the mountains.
"Yo! Zhou Xiaohua, why didn't you wear new clothes and saffron today! Aunt Niu was carrying a hoe on her shoulder, and she saw Zhou Xiaohua in old clothes joking.
Yesterday, Zhou Xiaohua wore a new dress and a silk flower on her head, and when she saw her, she raised a bright smile and greeted her politely.
At the beginning, she thought that the sun came out of the west, and Zhou Xiaohua actually became polite. It turned out that Zhou Xiaohua was here to show off to her.
Zhou Xiaohua paused slightly, glanced at Aunt Niu, and snorted lightly: "I don't want to wear it, I don't want to wear it!" โ
After saying that, he lifted his feet and left.
"Huh! Zhou Xiaohua, there were so many things on Lu Zhian's ox cart yesterday, and it was said that it was sent by the county magistrate. Why, it's not your share? Aunt Niu looked at Zhou Xiaohua triumphantly and said.
Hum!
Listening to Zhou Xiaohua's words yesterday, I really thought that Lu Dashan had made a fortune, who knew that it would be empty.
Although it was empty, Zhou Xiaohua's words made her uncomfortable.
I met it today, and I have to find a place no matter what.
Zhou Xiaohua paused, turned her head and glanced at her, "What's the matter with you!" โ
Aunt Niu smiled nonchalantly, "It's really none of my business." However, Zhou Xiaohua, we are relatives of the same clan and clan, Aunt Niu reminds you, don't believe anything Lu Dashan says. Pulling such a big cart of things back, I must have picked up a lot of medicine. Whether or not you make any money, who knows! โ
Zhou Xiaohua glared at her, "Lu Dashan won't lie to me!" โ
Lu Dashan's temper is a little short-tempered, but he is an honest man and will not lie to her.
Aunt Niu pouted, "Who knows!" โ
"Xiaohua, I advise you, how long you are, maybe Lu Dashan made a fortune and didn't tell you, one day he quietly brought back a little lady and kicked you. Who made you usually lazy and provocative, and you didn't treat your two sons well! โ
Aunt Niu pretended to sigh and shook her head, as if she was kind enough to advise, but she glanced at Zhou Xiaohua and left by mistake.
Hum!
Yesterday you stabbed me with words, and today you don't want to be comfortable!
Zhou Xiaohua's face sank, and she turned to Aunt Niu's back and scolded, "Dead old woman, what nonsense are you talking about, you were kicked." โ
Lu Dashan wouldn't do that.
Although Zhou Xiaohua said this to herself, she was still a little weak in her heart. After all, Lu Dashan had told her before that he would write a letter of resignation.
No, no!
Seeing that Lu Dashan was about to enter the Inspection Division, she couldn't be kicked.
was stirred up by Aunt Niu, and Zhou Xiaohua, who was originally grinding, ran quickly to Qingzhu Mountain.
She went to Tang Mian's house to ask, and her aunt told her that Tang Mian went out to look for wild vegetables. When I met Tang Mian, I saw her walking in the direction of the outside of the village, thinking that she must have entered Qingzhu Mountain.
"Tang Mian." Not far from Zhou Xiaohua's exit from the village, she saw Tang Mian walking towards her with a basket.
Tang Mian's footsteps stopped, and he looked at Zhou Xiaohua who was panting in surprise.
"Is something wrong?" Tang Mian trotted to Zhou Xiaohua's side and asked worriedly.
Zhou Xiaohua swallowed her saliva and shook her head, "It's okay." โ
Tang Mian didn't understand even more, and asked with a twisted eyebrow: "Then what are you going to do when you come to me so quickly?" โ
Quarrel again?
Zhou Xiaohua took two deep breaths, and after relieving herself, she gritted her teeth and said quickly: "Tang Mian, I'm sorry." In the future, I won't quarrel with you, nor will I make up bad things about you, don't go to the county magistrate to say that the mountains are not. โ
"What?" Tang Mian looked at Zhou Xiaohua blankly, "I have never been in front of the county magistrate, and I said that Brother Dashan is not!" โ
Zhou Xiaohua pursed her lips, "In short, I will definitely get along with you in the future, that's all." โ
After speaking, he didn't look at Tang Mian anymore, turned around and left.
She was worried that if she said more, she would have to quarrel again.
Looking at the back of Zhou Xiaohua leaving angrily, Tang Mian was very puzzled, and she couldn't laugh or cry, "Where is it!" โ
Sighing, he shook his head and carried the basket home.
After Zhou Xiaohua told Tang Mian, she ran home in a hurry.
"Dashan, you're back!"
As soon as I entered the house, I met Lu Dashan's dark and gloomy gaze.
"I went out to make it clear to Tang Mian, I won't do anything against her in the future, I will keep my mouth shut, and I won't talk nonsense outside."
Before Lu Dashan could speak, Zhou Xiaohua explained clearly as if pouring beans.
Regarding Zhou Xiaohua's words, Lu Dashan was noncommittal. He felt that what Zhou Xiaohua said must be sincere at this time, but it was unknown how long it could be managed.
Seeing that Lu Dashan still didn't say a word, Zhou Xiaohua looked at him cautiously and asked, "You should have no problem entering the Inspection Division, right?" โ
Lu Dashan glanced at her and didn't speak.
Zhou Xiaohua was a little anxious, "I've already softened with Tang Mian and apologized, what else do you want?" โ
"You don't care about this, whether you can go in or not, the county magistrate hasn't made a final decision yet." Lu Dashan walked towards the stove room and said.
"That's simple, as long as Tang Mian asks the county magistrate for a favor."
Before Zhou Xiaohua's words fell, Lu Dashan turned around and glared at her. Zhou Xiaohua's heart jumped, and she closed her mouth for a moment.
"If you dare to trouble your brother and sister in this matter, see how I clean you up." Lu Dashan glared at her and threatened.
"Also, this matter is still inconclusive, and not a word is allowed to be spoken."
Zhou Xiaohua nodded hurriedly, and when she saw Lu Dashan walking towards the stove room, she hurriedly followed, "I'll help." โ
Zhou Xiaohua, who is so self-conscious, is rarely seen on weekdays.
The two Land Rover brothers looked at her in surprise.
The other side
After Tang Mian returned home, he put the basket in the yard, put away the knife, went to the stove room to get a basket, and folded out the dandelion.
I didn't expect dandelions to be long, and although there is some distance between each plant, you can see it at a glance.
The basket she brought with her was a little small, and it was full after digging only a small piece.
"Mianniang, I heard when I went out just now that Zhou Xiaohua is in trouble with you again?" Li took a small stool and sat beside Tang Mian and helped fold dandelions together.
At this moment, her mind was full of Zhou Xiaohua arguing with Tang Mian, and she didn't notice that the dandelion in her hand had never eaten wild vegetables.
Tang Mian smiled, picked up a dandelion and tore off the yellow leaves, "Mother, it's nothing, Brother Dashan came over later, saying that it was a misunderstanding." โ
"Moreover, after I came out after picking wild vegetables, Zhou Xiaohua came to me again and said that she would get along with me well in the future and would not quarrel with me again."
"What? Are you serious? Li Shi looked at Tang Mian with wide eyes, his face full of disbelief.
Tang Mian nodded and affirmed, "Really." That's exactly what Zhou Xiaohua told me. โ
Although she couldn't believe it either.
However, if Zhou Xiaohua can really do what she said, it will be a good thing.
Li Shi felt dizzy and couldn't believe it, "She came to quarrel with you one moment, and the next moment she came to make peace with you." Mianniang, you have to pay attention, don't she deliberately lower your vigilance, but she is holding back her big move! โ
Tang Mian smiled and said, "Mother, don't worry, you won't." I have quarreled with Zhou Xiaohua since I was a child, and I still know her very well. โ
Zhou Xiaohua's biggest trick in the past 20 years is to pull her hair and slap her.
"It's better to have more eyes." Li thought for a moment and instructed.
"Okay."
To avoid Li's worries, Tang Mian responded to her words.
never thought that Zhou Xiaohua really did what she said this time, and Tang Mian hadn't seen her for more than ten days in a row.
Zhou Xiaohua didn't come to find trouble, and Tang Mian was also happy. In the past two days, she has been busy cleaning and preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and she doesn't have the energy to deal with Zhou Xiaohua.
A few days ago, my sister sent someone to send a message over, saying that she was going to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with her brother-in-law, and it was estimated that she would stay overnight.
In previous years, the Mid-Autumn Festival was celebrated at home, and they were all with the eldest uncle and the second uncle. Three families, each taking turns to entertain guests throughout the year.
This year, I was supposed to be at the second uncle's house, but my sister and brother-in-law were coming over, so I simply invited them to their house this year.
"Mianniang, are these glutinous rice enough?" Li asked, carrying half a bucket of glutinous rice.
Tang Mian was cutting the meat, and when he heard this, he glanced at it, "Mother, these glutinous rice are almost ten catties, it should be enough." โ
Glutinous rice is not planted much every year, only half an acre of land, and the harvest is more than 100 catties. The main thing is to make glutinous rice cakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I rarely eat them on weekdays.
"Hmm." Li nodded, "Then I'll wash it and soak it, and steam it directly in the pot tomorrow." โ
Tang Mian continued to cut the meat and said yes lightly.
Tomorrow there will be a lot of things, so today I will cut the meat and hang it into the well, and then it will not be so busy.
"Mother, have you taken out the beans?" Tang Mian thought of eating the bean noodles with glutinous rice cakes, and raised his head and asked.
Li Shi added water to the glutinous rice bucket and replied casually, "Not yet, I'll soak the glutinous rice and go." โ
"Mother, remember to take more."
The bean noodles are fragrant, and the two sisters-in-law love to dip more bean noodles every time they eat glutinous rice cakes.
"Okay, mother knows." Li Shi responded and washed the glutinous rice.
Not only Tang Mian and the Li family were busy, but Lu Zheng and Zhuang Zhuang were not idle.
Especially Lu Zheng, he wants to kill two chickens and ducks, clean them up, and stew soup tomorrow.
He also went to the river in the morning, originally trying to get a few fish, but ended up with two crucian carp the size of a palm.
In the afternoon, I had to go out and buy a few and come back, so as not to be robbed tomorrow.
Then take the little guy and fold out the dishes that are not easy to spoil, and then clean the borrowed dishes and plates when they are done, and put them away to cover them so that they can be used tomorrow.
The next day, when the sky was bright, Li and Tang Mian got up to make breakfast.
After the family had breakfast, Tang Mian began to stew chicken soup and duck soup first.
The chickens and ducks have been fed for several years, and they have to be simmered slowly all morning to make the soup and meat more fragrant.
Li steamed the glutinous rice in a large cauldron.
I soaked all night yesterday, but I couldn't steam for long.
"Brother and sister, third aunt, we're here!"
The two of them were busy in the stove room when there was a greeting and a knock outside the door.
"Old man, go and open the door." Li shouted in the stove room.
"Know, know, you're busy, don't worry about that." Lu Zheng replied loudly.
As soon as the words fell, Lu Zheng had already opened the door.
"Third uncle."
"It's all here, quickly move things in, and a few nieces and daughters-in-law will go to the stove room to help."
Lu Zheng smiled, looked at the juniors carrying tables and stools outside the door, and said unceremoniously.
"Huh! Third uncle, let's go. Several nieces and daughters-in-law happily responded.
Everyone is used to it, and the family is not so polite.
"Third uncle, is the table in the courtyard?" Lu Zhian asked.
Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, except for the four people on duty in the yamen, the others are on holiday.
Lu Zheng nodded and commanded: "Set up two tables in the courtyard, and one more table in the hall." Later, let Wu Mei and them carry a table to Mianniang's room and set it up. At the door of Mianniang's house, a table has to be set. โ
"Okay, third uncle." A few nephews answered, and quickly began to set the table and put the bench.
After the glutinous rice was steamed, Li poured it into the stone trough that had been prepared long ago.
"Zhi'an, Zhiqiang, come in."
"Here, Aunt San." The two of them replied loudly.
"Third aunt, did you tell us to play glutinous rice cakes?" Before Lu Zhian walked into the stove room, he said happily.
Li smiled, "If you guess correctly, take it and get it right." โ
It takes a lot of effort to make glutinous rice cakes, and if there is labor at home, it must be handed over to them.
"Right now."
As soon as the words fell, the two walked into the stove room, lifted the stone trough and walked out.
The whole family is busy.
As noon approached, a gorgeous carriage slowly drove into Qingyuan Village.
"Who is this?" Villagers passing by looked at the carriage in amazement.
"The driver seems to be familiar!" One whispered.
"It seems to be the one next to Mrs. Prefectural Order"
"Phew!"
A few people passing by looked at each other, and Mrs. County Ling went to Tang Mian's house again!
"Tang Mian and Mrs. County Ling, the relationship is really good!"
Several people were very envious in their hearts.
"Sister, brother-in-law."
"Your Excellency, Ma'am."
When Zhuang Jing and Yu Mingzhi arrived at Tang Mian's house, a group of people put down what they were doing and went out to greet them.
"Auntie, uncle." Zhuang Zhuang looked at the two people who got out of the carriage and shouted crisply.
Zhuang Jing smiled softly, "Yan Xiu, come here." โ
She originally liked children, but now that she is pregnant, she loves children even more.
Lu Yanxiu is his sister's only child, and Zhuang Jing is naturally happy.
The little guy looked up at Tang Mian, and when he saw Tang Mian nodding with a smile, he let go of her hand and walked towards Zhuang Jing.
"You kid, it's up to your mother to do everything first!" Zhuang Jing joked with a smile.
Zhuang Zhuang blinked and said honestly: "She is my mother, and in my heart, my mother will always come first." โ
