Gourmet pastoral: the clever mother raises the cute baby

Chapter 311 The source of gossip
Not long after lunch, I heard giggling and chattering in the yard, presumably those who came to help.

Tian Xiaoyu is not easy to move too much, so he can only let Gu Yunqing go out to greet him quickly, so as not to lose the courtesy of his master.

As soon as Gu Yunqing opened the door of the east room, the wives and women really rushed in, and they were all crowded in the east room.

"Congratulations."

"That's right, the girl is so lucky."

"How rare are these twins, and they are still twins. Congratulations."

Tian Xiaoyu was a little embarrassed by the continuous congratulations, and nodded in response with a smile, and then said, "You're welcome, you're welcome, I really want to trouble you today."

The mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law were very happy when they heard that they were so polite, and said hurriedly, "No trouble."

Gu Yunqing quickly moved a stool, and the three young women and two older women sat around Tian Xiaoyu's kang.

Liu Yingchun followed Aunt Ye with her, thinking that Tian Xiaoyu probably didn't know these people well, so she introduced with a smile, "This daughter-in-law of the Liu family's second son, you can just call her sister Liu, and this one is Zhang's daughter-in-law." Xiaoer's daughter-in-law is the youngest among us, you can call her Yingzi, this is sister Wang next to our house, and there are two aunts, one surnamed Zhao and the other surnamed Zhou."

After Liu Yingchun introduced all the people in one breath, Tian Xiaoyu was stunned for a while, but kept nodding, and greeted with a smile, "Everyone has worked hard, you have worked hard."

After the introduction, Liu Yingchun introduced to the mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law again, "This is Aunt Ye from the eldest house of the Gu family, her daughter Qiaomei Ming'er is married to the Liao family in our village, you have all heard about it. "

"That's not a big deal, it's spread all over the village." The person named Sister Liu answered immediately, with a loud and smiling voice, which was somewhat similar to Liu Yingchun.

But the youngest Yingzi whispered, "I heard some rumors this morning."

"Don't talk nonsense, it's something that can't be solved by eight poles." Aunt Zhao couldn't help but said, "Maybe the Chen family is jealous, and it's not like you don't know what kind of virtue that girl of the Chen family is."

"Oh? What's going on?" Tian Xiaoyu asked when he heard what was going on and there was something inside.

Now it seems that the source of gossip has been opened, everyone is chattering non-stop, and Tian Xiaoyu understands it.

There is a daughter in this Chen family who has a large black-blue birthmark on her face, and she is bloated and lazy. Everyone says that the old lady has taken up all the blessings of the Chen family, so the granddaughter will grow up like this .

There is a girl who has just grown up, but she can't get married and becomes an old girl. It just so happens that Mrs. Chen passed away. The Chen family wanted to ask the Gu family for a sum of money to find a son-in-law for the young girl of the Chen family, but the request was unsuccessful. , Only then did those rumors spread in the village.

Having said that, Tian Xiaoyu suddenly realized that the Chen family really had sinister intentions, even taking advantage of their dead elders.

Liu Yingchun was very angry when he heard it, and cursed as soon as he opened his mouth, but Auntie Ye was a little calmer, just listening quietly, and did not express other opinions.

"Let's not stay here anymore. Let's go to the kitchen. We've bought all the vegetables and meat. You can divide the work after looking at it." Liu Yingchun looked at the sky outside and thought that he would have to work hard tonight. Let the little fish take care of the kids. "The only one who is familiar with these people is Liu Yingchun, so it's more appropriate for her to say this.

When everyone heard this, it was obvious that this was the reason, they all nodded, and after a few polite words with Tian Xiaoyu, they came out together.

Everyone flocked to the kitchen in the backyard of the Gu family. Looking at the big courtyard, they were envious. Even if they had never been to the previous courtyard of the Gu family, they could see it clearly when passing by from a distance. There were two or three sparsely populated houses, which looked very desolate. .

But now the yard is clean and tidy. The kitchen is big enough for seven people to stand. The meat and vegetables are neatly placed on the shelves.

"This kitchen is so big." Yingzi opened his mouth, obviously a little envious.

Liu Yingchun smiled and greeted everyone to take a look, volunteered to do what he could do, and told everyone the menu, and then added, "This money is one hundred cash per person per day. When the banquet is over tomorrow, the rest You can take all the good wine and food home with you.”

Although the money wasn't much, it would be great if they could take away the food and drink, because they saw a lot of things that couldn't be bought for a hundred coins.

Now, everyone was motivated, and the one named Sister Liu immediately said, "Among us, the best cooks are Sister Wang and Aunt Zhou, Yingzi and Aunt Zhao, and I will wash and chop vegetables together."

Everyone agrees with this division of labor, and they all nodded, and they started to get busy.

Liu Yingchun is in charge of lighting the fire. The three large pots and one small pot cannot be turned off from now on until noon tomorrow before Qiaomei gets married. It is actually quite exhausting to burn the fire all night.

In such hot weather, being roasted by the raging fire all the time, I would sweat profusely just thinking about it.

After everyone started working in an orderly manner, Liu Yingchun said to Aunt Ye, "Ma'am, I boiled two buckets of water just now, let Qiaomei go to wash and go to bed, I guess I will have to start working when the day is bright." gone."

Aunt Ye thought about it, but she was still worried about the kitchen, so she said, "It's okay, I'll help you first."

"Auntie, go quickly, leave the kitchen to me, and teach Xiaoyu the hair combing song, how can a little daughter-in-law like her know how to sing." Liu Yingchun's thinking was not unreasonable.

Aunt Ye had no choice but to nod her head, greeted everyone, and went to Qiaomei's room, urging her to take a bath and change her clothes, and wait for her hair to be combed before she could change her wedding dress.

On top of Qiaomei's bath water were the flowers that Tian Xiaoyu asked her to pick before, picking them off one by one, and tearing off the petals one by one, washed them clean and dried them in the sun for two days, now put them in hot water, The aroma hits my face all at once.

Aunt Ye then went to the east room with peace of mind, how could Tian Xiaoyu sleep, she thought to herself, when Qiaomei got married, he would have to be more considerate to Aunt Ye.

"Xiaoyu, you haven't slept yet?" Aunt Ye saw Tian Xiaoyu folding the children's clothes, Yuan Bao had already obediently slept beside her, and was snoring, but Gu Yunqing's voice was not heard, she asked again, " Where is this Yunqing? Why didn't I see anyone?"
