Splendid peasant girl busy farming

9537 - Put gold on your face

On the way to the mountain, the team was mighty, men and women, old and young, and it was very lively.

Cao Bamei and Xiuhong's mother and daughter were also among them. They brought dry food, water, a hatchet, a pole, and straw ropes.

In addition, the third boy was also sent to the old house by Cao Bamei early in the morning and handed over to Jin's care.

Because she had to take Xiuhong, the second daughter, with her, so they both had a helper.

"Second sister-in-law, why are you two alone? Didn't Xiaowei and Xiuxiu come over to help?"

Zhao Liuer and Yang Yongzhi were also in the team. The couple came to open the mountain and sent their daughter to a Taoist temple and handed over to their uncle Zhao Damao to take care of them temporarily.

Seeing that they were husband and wife, Bamei Cao smiled and said, "How can Xiuxiu's situation allow her to come to these places? Then she must not be able to come!"

"As for Xiaowei..." Bamei Cao paused, "Xiaowei must stay at home to take care of Xiuxiu."

Yang Yongzhi is a straight man, so he must say whatever he thinks of.

He glanced in the direction of Lijia Village, and said: "The month is still young, and it's not about giving birth to confinement, what is there to take care of? What's more, there are mother-in-law and sister-in-law at home. The one who came out to help open the mountain..."

Before he finished speaking, Cao Bamei gently pinched his back from behind.

Yang Yongzhi froze for a moment, then turned his head to find that Bamei Cao kept winking at him.

Yang Yongzhi shut his mouth, but it was hard to take back what he just said.

Bamei Cao smiled a little awkwardly, but her words remained calm.

"Well, they came back to give gifts during the Mid-Autumn Festival a few days ago, and Xiaowei told me so much,"

"When you say that you will open the mountain, you must let us know in advance, so that you can come and help."

"I was stopped at that time, and I said, what can I do to help? There is still a pile of firewood in the woodshed at home!"

"When the time comes to open the mountain, Xiu Hong and I will follow everyone into the mountain, and come back with a load of rattan branches and so on. It will be fine when the occasion arises. Our family has no shortage of firewood."

"Ten thousand steps back, even if there is really no firewood, as long as you have money on hand, are you afraid that you won't be able to buy firewood? Then the Luo family never came to Kaishan. When did they run out of firewood?"

Cao Bamei said a lot of chatter, and Yang Yongzhi and Zhao Liuer were taken aback for a while.

Yang Yongzhi murmured in his heart that this second sister-in-law usually doesn't show her beauty, but now she really talks a lot, and he just said a few words, and she opened up all her chatterboxes.

Every sentence is either defending Li Wei and Xiuxiu, or putting gold on his face, as if someone can't afford firewood.

He and Liu Er went up to the mountain to cut firewood, not because they couldn't afford firewood, but because they had free firewood, so they wanted to buy more and store it...

Beside her, Zhao Liu'er smiled and echoed Cao Bamei's words: "Second sister-in-law is right, you have money, let alone firewood, what can't you buy?"

Bamei Cao nodded, "So, I told Xiaowei at the time, I said, you must not come to Kaishan, you have taken care of Xiuxiu at home, it is a great help, and you have done the most important thing !"

Zhao Liu'er smiled and nodded again, "That's right, Second Sister-in-law, what you said is so right, the most important thing is to have a sense of proportion, right now embroidering mother and child is the most important thing!"

Cao Bamei is very satisfied with Zhao Liuer's performance.

But Yang Yongzhi didn't want to continue listening to Cao Bamei's words that were meant to cover up, so he said to Zhao Liuer: "I'll go ahead and discuss something with my third and fourth uncles."

Zhao Liuer said: "I'll go with you, lest we get separated later in the mountains."

Yang Yongzhi nodded, he didn't even bother to fight with Cao Bamei, and went to the front of the team.

Zhao Liuer greeted Bamei Cao and followed Yang Yongzhi.

When Yang Yongzhi and Zhao Liuer were gone, Bamei Cao stroked her heart and let out a sigh of relief.

Beside her, the second girl, Xiuhong, tilted her head and looked at Bamei Cao in surprise, "Mother, you obviously didn't say those things to your elder sister and elder brother-in-law during the Mid-Autumn Festival, why did you make up nonsense with your third uncle and third aunt earlier?" Come on?"

Cao Bamei raised her hand to cover the second girl's mouth, but the second girl turned her face away.

Not only that, but she also glared at her mother angrily, "Mom, what are you doing? Your hand pressed my brother's snot when I went out, and you didn't wash it all the way, and you touched my mouth again, you're dead!"

The second girl spat on the ground a few times while talking, her face full of disgust.

Bamei Cao rolled her eyes angrily, and poked the opponent's head lightly with another hand.

"You little girl, you're only too old to dislike me, your old lady? I've raised you for nothing!"

Xiu Hong twitched her eyebrows.

Bamei Cao withdrew her hand, dragged the second girl up the mountain, and said in a low voice, "I told you like your third uncle and third aunt before, it's your mother who wants to save face."

"Don't expose your mother, will you?"

Xiu Hong frowned again, "Don't worry, I'm not a coward!"

In the end, she turned her face away and muttered, "I'm going to lose face!"

When Cao Bamei heard the second girl's muttering, she opened her mouth, wanting to refute a few words.

When the words came to his lips, he retreated again, how can he argue?
The second girl was right, she said so much just to put money on her face!

I don't know what happened at that time, obviously the third brother and the third younger siblings just asked casually, and they immediately exploded like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

It seemed that the other party was deliberately referring to something to ridicule when he asked that question, and felt that if he didn't complete his words, he would not be able to save that face.

That's why he fabricated a bunch of lies to support the scene. In the final analysis, what else could it be if he didn't want to lose face and suffer?
Honestly admit it: Yes, the son-in-law and the others didn't come to help this year!
Is it embarrassing to be honest?

Shame?
After thinking for a moment, Bamei Cao nodded affirmatively, yes, it's embarrassing.

Therefore, I really want to save face and suffer!
By the way, what happened to Li Wei this year?
In the past, Xiuxiu didn't marry back, and she was very diligent. She ran here almost every day, doing whatever work she had.

When cutting firewood, if you don’t cut your own firewood, you have to come here first to fill up the woodshed.

Could it be that he really complied with the sentence, don’t scatter eagles if you don’t see a rabbit?
Now that Xiu Xiu is married, and the raw rice is cooked, so she slack off?

But the problem is, even if Li Wei slack off, Xiu Xiu should urge him to come over and help, right?
The two villages are so close to each other, it is impossible for the village over there not to know about the news that the mountain will be opened here.

Many relatives and friends in the village heard the news, and many of them came to help.

Continuing to walk up the mountain, Bamei Cao met several village women who were friendly with each other on weekdays.

Everyone greeted each other, and saw that Bamei Cao was the mother and daughter, the other party was surprised, and then they all asked, "Did the eldest son-in-law come to help?"
