Blessed woman in the farm gate

Chapter 138

"I thought you weren't awake, but Fuyue got up early today."

Li Yayue handed over a bowl of noodles while talking: "Just wash up, and eat noodles to fill your stomach. There is a lot of driving today, so you can't be hungry. Mom won't be at our house for a short time." It's time to cook, and she feels very emotional in her heart, by the way, there is still a lot in the pot, and I will add more after eating."

"Big sister, I know, eh, why didn't you see that kid Li Congxin?" Li Fuyue thought of what happened last night, and she understood. Sure enough, Li Yayue said: "The kid from Congxin went out for morning exercises with his third brother-in-law. He hasn’t come back yet. He was very excited when he woke up in the morning, and ran out without eating, but anyway, his things are almost packed, so let him go shopping in our village.”

"Auntie, auntie." This somewhat vague voice sounded like it belonged to the youngest child of the Li family, Lu Zhiwei.Xiao Zhiwei was hugged by Lu Yuan, and she was baring her teeth and claws in Li Fuyue's direction, wanting to hug her, Li Fuyue took Xiao Zhiwei over and said, "Zhiwei, you woke up really early today, so good!" Kicking her legs slightly, she smiled until her big eyes bent into crescents, which made Li Fuyue laugh again and again.

After the family had breakfast, the strong men and guards had already driven the carriage to the gate of the Li family's courtyard. The old man walked in front, and was amazed when he saw the three very tall and spacious carriages, thinking that it was right to follow the second room!With this carriage, it is much better than walking with your own legs.

"Father and mother, why did you come here so early? Didn't you agree that we would come to pick you up at the old house when we left the village?" Li Shu was already ready and took the lead to greet him. A large number of people came early with their things in the dark, and it was also because Mrs. Zheng said that they were afraid that the people from the second room would sneak around them and run away, so the whole family came to have a look in advance with trepidation.

Mrs. Zheng said: "Isn't this afraid of causing trouble for you? It happened that we packed up early, so we wanted to come here early, otherwise you would have to go to the middle of the village for a while, wouldn't that be troublesome?" Mrs. Zheng shifted her gaze to On the guard maidservants and mother-in-law standing in order in the yard, "Who are these people?"

A thirteen or fourteen-year-old maid stood up first, and said timidly, "Old Madam, we are maidservants bought by Miss Fuyue, and we are here to serve the master and ladies." Everyone in the Li family's old house was shocked. Yes, the same is true for Mrs. Zheng. This is probably the first time she was called an old lady, and there was an indescribable comfort in her heart, but she secretly hated this girl who couldn't speak. What does it mean to serve the master and ladies?Since he is a servant of their old Li family, of course he has to serve their family!

Mrs. Zheng straightened her back, and wanted to say something reprimanding to show off the old lady's score, when Li Fuyue walked up to the little maid just now: "Chuntao, you don't have to be so nervous, I'll tell you guys if you do it well." It’s all right.” The little maid seemed relieved when she heard the words: “Yes, Miss Fuyue.” Li Fuyue bought maids at such a time when everyone was busy fleeing famine, and took these maids and women together to flee famine, In fact, it can be regarded as saving a few people. These people were poor and had to be slaves. Even if they wanted to run away, they did not have enough money and food to support them in fleeing famine. down yourself.

Mrs. Zheng didn't know the twists and turns. From her point of view, it was Li Fuyue who interrupted her reprimand on purpose. This was because Li Fuyue didn't want the people in the old house to order their servants of the second room!Mrs. Zheng murmured in her heart, with such a big family business, how can a person be so stingy, even his servants are not willing to serve their grandparents, it is simply not filial!They are a big family, I am afraid that they will lose face in front of a few servants, right?Maybe these slaves looked down on him secretly, just now he was so happy to be called the old lady, and now Mrs. Zheng resents him so much.

Zheng's heart was very dissatisfied, and she still had a dry smile on her face: "Oh, Fuyue is really promising, look at her grandeur, she is no different from the elders in the city!"

Li Fuyue didn't like this, she had a half-smile: "The step-grandmother is really good at making fun of people, I have nothing to do with it, it's good that the step-grandmother doesn't think our second wife is shabby." With the fact that there is no blood relationship, Zheng's face is a little bit troubled for a moment.But so what, can't I just apologize?
What makes Zheng even more annoyed is that Li Fuyue is polite to the first room, but not indifferent to the third room. Doesn't this clearly show that there is a difference between closeness and estrangement in Li Fuyue's heart?Zheng Shi was jealous and depressed at the same time, and for a while she couldn't even look at Liu Shi well, but why Liu Shi was frightened by Zheng Shi's eyes, she just rolled her eyes and it was over.

When Zhou Dusheng and Li Congxin came back, Li Congxin's forehead was covered with sweat, but his expression was excited. The dream of becoming a martial arts hero far outweighed his physical fatigue.Li Congxin got into the carriage first, Li Fuyue glanced at him, and asked Zhou Dusheng in a low voice: "Could you practice a little harder?"

Zhou Dusheng also lowered his voice: "It's okay, I have a measure, that is, let this kid run a few more laps, he hasn't taught his legs and feet yet, so it won't delay the family's journey." Li Fuyue nodded.After everyone arrived, a group of people set off. At this time, the sky was not yet bright, but the people in the village were already awake. When they came out to look, they only saw the carriages rolling away, as if they were inspired. The other people who were not panicked at all also felt a sense of urgency.

The horses were all rejuvenated, and it was still early in the morning, and there were no people on the official road. Before the sun was high, the family had already left Heting City, and they were heading east on the gentle and spacious official road.

Along the way, Li Fuyue lifted the curtain from time to time to see the situation outside. On this official road, occasionally carriages and pedestrians would appear beside their team, but there were not many of them. It seemed that most of them hadn’t started to leave yet, either because of the news It hasn't been heard yet, or they think it's false news and don't want to leave the land where it grows.The purpose of this trip was to reach Panming City as soon as possible, so the team did not stop at noon, but simply ate dry food and continued on the road. When night fell, the group had not yet reached the town where they settled. After thinking about it, Li Fuyue decided to camp overnight at the same spot. For this reason, a group of people chose to be under a concave mountain wall.

First, they sat around and set up a bonfire and an iron pot. Li Fuyue wanted to go over to help, but was persuaded by Li Yayue and Li Miaoyue to go aside: "You are pregnant now, in the carriage It’s enough to be tired after a bumpy day, let’s just sit by the side.”

Li Fuyue said that the baby in her belly was very well-behaved, and she really didn't feel uncomfortable, but she couldn't bear the two sisters not letting her work, so she had to touch her belly, leaned under a tree, and watched everyone busy.

Tonight there are actually stars all over the sky, Li Fuyue looked up at the night, she was a little crazy for a while, when she came back to her senses, she saw Zhou Dusheng was standing beside her, also looking up at the starry sky: "Husband The silent kung fu under your feet has improved again?"

Zhou Dusheng smiled: "Seeing that Madam is fascinated by watching, I just don't want to interrupt Madam's thoughts, let's go, it's time to eat, you only ate half a pancake in the afternoon, if you don't eat more, I'm afraid you won't be able to survive."

Li Fuyue caught up with the other's outstretched hand and explained: "I want to eat more, but as soon as I get in the carriage, I feel drowsy, and I don't even have an appetite." The two went to sleep in the open as they talked. Walking over to the place, everyone has already started eating.This meal was mainly made by Shi. It was noodle soup and roast beef. It was a full pot, enough for everyone to eat.Just looked at the starry sky for a while, Li Fuyue is in a calm state of mind and has a good appetite. After eating a full stomach, there are still two bowls left in the pot. Based on the principle of not wasting, everyone still finished their food. After eating , mainly by the two young maids to help wash the dishes and shabu-shabu.

Next is the issue of the division of labor for the night watch. After a brief discussion, the long night was finally divided into three parts. Everyone has to keep watch at night, and two people are sent to take turns to keep watch. Pregnant women like Li Fuyue and those who take medicine to take care of young children like Li Miaoyue and Li Meigui are excluded.

After Zhou Dusheng went to feed the horses, he protected Li Fuyue, and the two fell asleep.When Li Fuyue woke up in a daze, the sky was still dark, and the stars were scattered in the sky. She guessed that it was because she had been in a drowsy state during the day, which made her sleepy now, and Zhou Dusheng beside her was still asleep. Li Fuyue After getting up and sitting for a while, he really didn't feel sleepy, so he tucked the quilt for Zhou Dusheng, put on his coat and walked out of the simple tent.

The stars in the sky are still shining, but the movement on the ground is not as peaceful as before. Li Fuyue heard the sound of conversations coming from the camp's vigil, and immediately frowned, walking quietly and calmly. go over there.

"Little girl, how old are you? Who else is there in the family?" Mrs. Liang looked at the busy figure in front of the campfire with an increasingly satisfied expression.

Chuntao was lighting the bonfire, and then she was carrying the iron pot to set it up. There was already a small circle of ingredients beside her. It seemed that she was going to make a supper. Li Fuyue stood at the back of the camp and watched silently, not rushing forward.

Mrs. Liang and Li Hai were just sitting in the back like the second uncle, and only Chuntao was busy in front of her. Chuntao wiped the sweat from her forehead and replied, "Back to the third lady, I will be fourteen this year. There is still my old lady at home, and it is difficult to live alone at home, Miss Fuyue kindly brought her along with her."

Liang asked again: "Then are you married?"

Chuntao froze for a moment, then looked at Mrs. Liang with some unease.Liang Shi just smiled: "Oh, you child, I'm just asking, if you don't agree with someone, won't I be able to lead the red line for you if I meet a man from a good family in the future?"

Chuntao hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Chuntao is still young, and it is true that she hasn't said anything about it, but Chuntao has no plans to do so now, so I don't want to bother the third lady." Liang smiled exaggeratedly: "Oh, Does the little girl know how to guard against people? But, you have to know that I am the aunt of Miss Fuyue of your family, and the people I meet in the future must be rich and powerful, so maybe I can make you short? Besides, I also have a son who is about the same age as you, as long as you are willing, I don't disagree."

It can be said that Liang's son is incompetent, obviously only 14 years old, but he is a good student who does not learn from bad, and his appearance is far from that of Liang's and Xie Cuicui's.Chuntao's face was already blushing, and she wanted to refute, but she was afraid that she would offend Li Fuyue. Tears welled up in her eyes. Chuntao wiped her eyes twice, pretending to be focused on the pot, and stopped talking.

"Hey, why don't you talk anymore? Chuntao?" Mrs. Liang was still smiling, thinking that Chuntao was so moved that she couldn't speak. In her opinion, Chuntao was a maid with no roots, and she was the maid of the second room. , Erfang and I are blood relatives, so how can I be higher than a little slave like Chuntao, and when Erfang has a greater prospect in the future, I will also develop accordingly, and my son is worthy Chuntao is more than enough.

Chuntao still didn't speak, Li Fuyue came out at this time: "What's the smell? It smells really good." Li Fuyue was smiling, but there was no smile on her face.As soon as Mrs. Liang saw Li Fuyue coming, the potential superiority of a superior person disappeared instantly, and she stood up awkwardly: "Hey, Fuyue, you haven't slept so late? Do you want to eat something to fill your stomach?" Stuffing your stomach? You can't be hungry now." Liang smiled flatteringly, saying things that he would not have said before, but now all the people in the old house are Li Shu for the sake of family affection. For those who brought it, the situation is quite different.

Li Fuyue still had a half-smile on her face, so she walked to Chuntao and took a look: the pot looked like porridge, but in fact, there were still a lot of cured pork ribs buried in it. Li Fuyue scooped it up with an iron spoon at random Get three or four pieces of ribs, which can be said to be a luxury under the background of fleeing from famine, and this is the first day they left. If they follow such a luxury method and don’t replenish supplies on the road, a group of people will not leave at all. Not to Panming City.

"Chuntao, who brought these supplies?" Chuntao glanced at Mrs. Liang when she heard the words, and said truthfully: "Miss San, these are things prepared by the eldest lady." Li Fuyue laughed again: "It turned out that it wasn't the third aunt who you brought. The things that came, I didn’t expect that, didn’t I say before, these things have to be put away, we still have a long way to go, Third Aunt, don’t you think so?”

Liang's smile was a bit stiff, and it was the dead of night, and she bet that Li Fuyue would not make a scene, so her tone was a bit aggressive: "Fuyue, it's not the third aunt talking about you, look what you are talking about? You are so old As the third aunt, don’t I just take a few spare ribs? As for being so serious?” Liang said with a little disdain, as if Li Fuyue’s behavior was so shabby.
