The growth of the eldest daughter-in-law of the farm gate

Chapter 133 Storm ([-])

The next day, Mrs. Wang and Li Mingmei chatted all morning, and Li Mingmei happily came out from the main courtyard to look for Zhao Yunlan.

"Sister-in-law, I really like you so much?" Li Mingmei hugged Zhao Yunlan's arm and rubbed against it.

Zhao Yunlan felt a little baffled: "What good thing have I done to make you care about me?"

Li Mingmei was amused by Zhao Yunlan's expression: "Sister-in-law, you are teasing me again. Didn't you tell mother yesterday that I learned the rules from Nanny Cui!"

Speaking of this, Li Mingmei leaned into Zhao Yunlan's ear and whispered: "Mother admitted to me when she came to me today, saying that she has been impatient during this time, so she has been stricter with me. I will study with Nanny Cui every day, and I will arrange the rest of the time by myself."

Seeing Li Mingmei's happy appearance, Zhao Yunlan couldn't help being happy for her, but said, "I didn't say anything to Mother, it's Mother who figured it out on her own."

Li Mingmei: "I don't care, you are my good sister-in-law, um~ my mother is also my good mother."

Zhao Yunlan patted Li Mingmei's forehead: "You ghost!"

Li Mingmei said: "Sister-in-law, I'm going to take Xia Xiang to the soap shop to collect soap today, I'm leaving first!"

Zhao Yunlan waved her hand: "Go!"

After these few days of adaptation, Zhao Yunlan stayed with Chunxiang, Dongxiang followed Wang, and Xiaxiang followed Li Mingmei.

"Mother Cui!" As soon as Li Mingmei left, Mother Cui came out from the main courtyard and came towards the east courtyard.

"Young Madam!" Nanny Cui responded.

"Mother Cui has worked hard these past few days!" Zhao Yunlan wanted to express how Madam Cui taught Li Mingmei carefully these past few days.

"Young Madam, this is what a servant girl should do!"

Seeing that Nanny Cui didn't want to say more, Zhao Yunlan changed the subject and said, "How is Li Zhongyou these days?"

"Back to the eldest young lady, Li Zhongyou has been doing things very well these few days. He woke up first in the morning, and after sweeping the front yard, he asked the boys to get up to practice martial arts. Go to work in the field and help the third young master to supervise those workers, if the third young master is fine, Li Zhongyou will help the master weave bamboo together."

Zhao Yunlan was surprised: "He still has this skill?"

Cui Nanny smiled: "I learned it from the master, and I can get started after only half a day of learning."

……

In the afternoon, Li Mingren and Li Mingzhi went home together. After meeting Mrs. Wang and old man Li in the main courtyard, they went to the east courtyard.

Li Mingren walked and found that Li Mingzhi was still following him, and asked in confusion: "Go back to your own yard! Why are you following me?"

"Hey, who is following you? You can't be the only one to go on this road, and you're not the only one who can go to the East Court?" Li Mingzhi strode forward, not wanting to talk to Li Mingren.

"Then what are you doing in the east courtyard?"

Li Zhiming thought to himself, he was just greedy, and wanted to ask Zhao Yunlan to cook some delicious food at night, but he said, "Guess!"

"I'm too lazy to guess with you, don't bother our husband and wife!" Li Mingren walked ahead angrily.

"Huh~" Li Mingzhi is full of childishness now, insisting on walking ahead of Li Mingren, as if he must speak the first sentence to Zhao Yunlan first.

Li Mingren was amused by Li Mingzhi's appearance, and walked behind, muttering: "You really are a young boy who has no idea."

The two brothers entered the east courtyard one after the other, "Sister-in-law, brother and I are back." Sure enough, Li Mingzhi spoke first.

"My lady, I'm back!" Li Mingren was not to be outdone.

Only a burst of spring breeze responded to the two of them...

After lunch, Zhao Yunlan took Nanny Cui and Chunxiang to the soap shop.Because the Li family didn't see Li Mingmei coming back when they were having lunch, Zhao Yunlan sent Li Zhongyou to look over the mountain, only to find out that there was something wrong with the soap shop.Zhao Yunlan quickly ate a few mouthfuls of food and headed to the top of the mountain. When she went, she didn't forget to pack something for Li Mingmei to take with her.

On the top of the mountain, Li Mingmei had just checked every room and raw materials in the workshop.

"Little sister, how are you?" Zhao Yunlan saw Li Mingmei frowning as soon as she arrived.

"Sister-in-law, there is nothing wrong with the lard and plant ash. I have also checked the room here for any abnormalities." Li Mingmei said in a depressed mood.

Zhao Yunlan: "Little girl, you and Xia Xiang should have dinner first, it's okay, I'll see if there are any problems I haven't discovered!"

Li Mingmei didn't have any appetite at the moment, but Zhao Yunlan shook her head repeatedly, Li Mingmei had no choice but to obediently open the food box.

Zhao Yunlan: "Mother Cui, first find an empty room and call everyone in. Chunxiang, come with me to check again."

The three of them split up, and after searching for a quarter of an hour, Zhao Yunlan did not find anything unusual. Just as she was about to go out, a mouse suddenly sprang out, scaring Zhao Yunlan into jumping up and down, knocking over a bucket of settled vegetation and gray water next to her. .Just when Zhao Yunlan was about to bend down to pick up the barrel, she found that the bottom dregs of the barrel of plant ash were a little different, as if it had been mixed with other things.

Zhao Yunlan called Chunxiang to put the ash in the wooden barrel back in, and brought it up in front of everyone.

"Mother Cui, is everyone coming in?" Zhao Yunlan asked.

"Yes, the maidservant called all the outsiders in, and asked Xia Xiang to search for it, but there was no one outside." Mother Cui responded.

Zhao Yunlan nodded and watched Li Mingmei walking towards her. There was more than half of the rice in the bowl, so she didn't force her anymore.

"Little sister, do you have the roster I asked you to write earlier?" Zhao Yunlan asked.

Li Mingmei nodded: "Well, I wrote two copies, one at home and one here, I'll get it out!"

Li Mingmei went to another room and took out a roster. In addition to the roster, it also recorded everyone's pay slips.

"Sister-in-law, here you are!" Li Mingmei brought the roster.

Zhao Yunlan instructed Xia Xiang: "Mother Cui, call your name! If you hear the name, say 'here'"

Mother Cui took the roster: "Liu Meihua, Zhao Caixia, Zhang Lan..." After counting a total of 12 people, she found that Ding Fengying was missing.

"Why isn't Ding Fengying here?" Zhao Yunlan asked.

Liu Meihua opened the mouth and said: "Fengying asked me to go home on leave yesterday. His child is sick and the family can't take care of him. I have already told Mingmei about this, and Mingmei agreed." In terms of seniority, Zhao Yunlan had to call Aunt Liu Meihua.At that time, I also saw Liu Meihua working quickly and carefully, and being straightforward, so Zhao Yunlan asked Liu Meihua to be the "team leader". When Li Mingmei and Zhao Yunlan were away, Liu Meihua would be responsible for managing this group of people and supervising everyone's work. .

Zhao Yunlan nodded: "I just discovered this, let's take a look at what's in this bucket!"

Liu Meihua stepped forward, and Chunxiang took a wooden stick to stir up the sediment in the bucket, "Oh, what is this! Who threw it in?"

Li Mingmei was also surprised: "Sister-in-law? This is..."

Zhao Yunlan: "Not sure, but it looks like there is dirt in it?" She said, looking at the workers present.

These aunts and aunts immediately quarreled, "Hey, Yunlan, you know my aunt, how could I do such things?" They rushed to get rid of this matter one by one.

Zhao Yunlan had a headache from the noise, so she had to say, "Everyone, be quiet first!"

... After being quiet for a second, she began to yell again to make Zhao Yunlan believe in herself.

"Shut up!" Nanny Cui yelled, and there was a sudden silence. Zhao Yunlan looked at Nanny Cui with an expression of "it must be you".
