Rebirth Farmhouse

Chapter 128

Xiuyao went to deliver carp to Grandma Thursday, whose home was at the east end of the village.Grandma Thursday is a short old lady with fair complexion and piercing eyes.Seeing Xiuyao coming, he smiled and asked her to sit in the room.

Xiuyao smiled and said, "Fourth grandma, this is the fish that my aunt Xu's family in Siyanjing Village asked my mother to bring you. I have to go home to help, so I won't sit down."

On Thursday, grandma smiled and grabbed a handful of melon seeds and gave her, "It's okay if your second sister is there."

Xiuyao smiled and said: "Thanks to the fourth grandma for helping my second sister find a job. It's very good. Aunt Xu even gave my brother some clothes from his family."

Grandma on Thursday was also very happy, and said again: "It's hard for you to remember my old lady. Come on, I have some salted duck eggs here, which are very salted. I am too old to eat salty eggs. You can take them home and eat them." Just go to end.

Xiuyao hurriedly said: "Fourth grandma doesn't need it, you can keep it and eat."

On Thursday, Grandma immediately said in displeasure: "Why, don't you care about my old lady's things? I'm afraid that eating my old lady's things will cause bad luck."

Xiuyao hurriedly smiled and said, "How could it be? We don't get rewarded for nothing. Fourth Grandma helped us, and we haven't even thanked her yet."

Only then did grandma laugh on Thursday, "Your second sister often helps me carry water when I'm at home. If you are free, you and your third sister can help me carry two buckets of water."

Because Grandma Zhou is young and widowed, in order to avoid suspicion, she does not deal with men, and she tries to find women to do any work at home. It has been a long time, and she still has this habit.

Now that she is getting older, the Zhou family wants young boys to help her, but she refuses, and she has always been alone.

Xiuyao had no choice but to collect the six salted duck eggs, and went to look at her water tank, and saw that the water tank was taller than hers, and there was still more than half of the water in it.But it may have been a long time, and greasy things have grown in the water tank.

She frowned slightly. Grandma was a very strong and clean person this week, but now that she is old, her sewing eyes are dim, and she can't see the water tank at all.Maybe in order not to bother others to always carry water, so I use such a big tank.

She said to Grandma Thursday: "Grandma Si, do you have a smaller water tank?"

Grandma on Thursday said: "This one is good, this one pretends a lot."

Xiuyao smiled and said: "No, fourth grandma, this tank is too big, my sister and I can't reach it. And this tank is so big, you can't finish it for a long time, the water is not clean, why don't you keep this tank of water Wash your clothes, and change to a small tank for water to eat, my sister and I will send you a load every day, okay?"

A load of water is enough for the old lady to eat alone, and it is enough to wash the pot, wash her face and feet.

Grandma on Thursday still didn't believe it, so she came over and touched it, and the inside of the tank was really greasy, she sighed, "I'm old, it's useless, it's useless."

Xiuyao comforted her again, but Grandma on Thursday was not one to be comforted, so she adopted Xiuyao's advice and found a small gray tile vat to make a water jar, which happened to be able to hold a load of water and was washed every day. It doesn't take much effort to swipe.

Xiuyao went back and told Liu Shi about the fourth grandma, and Liu Shi said: "There are so many people in their Zhou family, wouldn't it be good for us to go?"

Liu Xu heard it and said: "Sister, what's wrong, the old lady can find whomever she likes. There are so many people, she doesn't look for it, which means she is not caring. If it is your family, I would rather find outsiders."

Xiurong smiled and said, "Auntie, you hit the nail on the head."

Liu Shi lightly reprimanded: "Don't talk nonsense."

Xiuyao said: "Mom, grandma on Thursday didn't come to us casually. Before, the second sister always helped her carry water when she was at home. She likes the second sister so she asked us to help."

Liu Shi said: "That's fine, you can help her carry a load of water every day, but don't ask for her things. Don't let people gossip."

Liu Xu said again: "You are just too scrupulous, she is willing to give it to us, and we didn't snatch it, so there is nothing to gossip about. Could it be that if you give it to them, they won't gossip."

Mrs. Liu gave her an angry look, "When you go to Sun's house later on, you have to change your temper. There is a mother-in-law on top, so you can't be so straightforward."

Liu Xu curled her lips, "They already knew who I am, if they are looking for a hypocrite, then don't go to our house to propose marriage."

Liu Shi waved her hand, "Okay, I can't say no to you, anyway, you have to remember that being a daughter-in-law is not that easy."

Liu Xu doesn't think so, if getting married means the end of the good times, if you want to be a daughter-in-law and be abused by others, then it's better not to marry, living alone is a hundred times better than that, hmph, if Sun Dacheng's mother dares to bully her, Let's see if she makes it easier for them!

Xiuqin replaced Xiurong to light the fire, and asked Xiurong and Xiuyao to help the fourth grandma carry water.

Xiuyao and Xiurong came to the well pavilion on their side, tied the bucket to the rope, dropped the bucket on the stone, and lowered the bucket into the water with a pulley. .

Xiuyao and she carried two buckets of water on a pole to Grandma Zhou's house, and stopped for a rest after walking for a while. The two ignored each other, greeted politely and left.

When they arrived at grandma's house on Thursday, Xiuyao and Xiurong cleaned the water tank again, and then poured the water into it. Although the ancient water source was not polluted, the scale and bacteria produced were the same.So Xiuyao decided that every time she came here, she would help Grandma Thursday clean the water tank before pouring new water, so as not to get sick again after drinking dirty water.

Grandma on Thursday was very satisfied with the performance of the two sisters, and said with a smile: "A kind-hearted little girl like you will definitely have good luck."

Xiuyao said with a smile, "Thank you for your compliment, Fourth Grandma, and I would like to borrow your blessing from Fourth Grandma." Saying goodbye, she said goodbye to Third Sister and left, and the two went back home with a load of water.

At dinner time, Mrs. Liu asked Xiuyao to send broth and bones to Mrs. Zhang, and Xiuyao no longer refused, and went away with the soup pot.

She saw Old Qintou smoking at the door of the main room, so she walked over with a smile, "Grandpa, my mother boiled the bones, let me bring them to Grandpa and Mammy to eat."

Old Qin tapped the pot of the cigarette pipe, smiled, and asked Mrs. Zhang to quickly take a small pot and pour out the soup pot for the child.Now he firmly believes that it was right for him to divide the family. At the beginning, there was not enough food, and the whole family would starve to death when they were together. After separating from the big house, he can get help from his natal family, and the food in the family can also feed the rest of the people.Look at Xiuyao, after the separation, this girl obviously ate well and kept up with her nutrition. She is taller, with flesh on her body, her little face is fair and clean, and she looks better than other children.

Seeing Xiuyao coming, Xiuli ran out to play with her, "Sister Yaoyao, you don't want to play with me."

Xiuyao smiled and said, "Sister is busy with work, you and sister can go to dinner."

Xiuli was very happy when she heard that, so she went to see Mrs. Zhang, who wished to eat all of them, she said: "Go, come back when you are full."

Old Qintou asked Xiuyao: "Yaoyao, how many acres of sweet potatoes have been planted in your grandfather's house?"

Xiuyao hummed, "Yes, they are all dried sweet potatoes."

Mrs. Zhang listened and said, "Didn't you mean to feed the pigs? You also pulled a cart to feed the pigs for us."

Xiuyao's face sank, and she really couldn't help but want to yell at others, so she didn't say anything.

Old Qin's head clicked and clicked. Before Xiuyao asked him to plant sweet potatoes, he was reluctant to plant them. Later, Qin Xian said that the yield of sweet potatoes was quite high, and there were a lot of dried sweet potatoes. Grandpa's house kept several grain stores for raising What about pigs?

"Girl, let's get some sweet potatoes next year, and our family will grow two acres." Old Qin couldn't help but said.

Although I don't think this sweet potato is so good, seeing that the old Liu family is really willing to plant sweet potatoes, Lao Qintou thinks that this may really be a good thing, otherwise why would the old Liu family be willing to grow sweet potatoes?

Xiuyao hummed, "Okay, I'll go back and discuss it with my grandpa." After speaking, she led Xiuli away.

Mrs. Zhang scolded: "Look at this dead girl, she really forgot her grandpa when she had her grandpa, and even discussed with her grandpa. Doesn't her family have sweet potatoes?"

Old Qintou sighed: "The family is separated, what are you talking about so much?"

Mrs. Zhang said: "What's the matter with the separation? The sweet potatoes were from before the separation, right? If this is the case, we should bring the sweet potatoes from her grandfather's house, and we can divide them in half."

The third aunt and the others came out of the house when they heard that delicious food was being delivered.After listening to Mrs. Zhang, the third aunt said with a smile: "Mother, you are really right. Now I think my sister-in-law is amazing. Let's ask her to do something, but she said she has no time. I'm looking at Xiurong and Xiurong. Yao and those two girls went to bring water to Grandma Zhou’s house, but they were diligent, and they yelled at each other, and they were even closer than kissing the mother.”

Mrs. Zhang's face was longer than a shoehorn.

The third aunt laughed again: "Mother, my sister-in-law's life is really getting better and better. With the separation of the family, I suddenly have money. I heard that my sister-in-law went to buy meat today."

When she heard that Mrs. Liu spent money to sell the meat, Mrs. Zhang became anxious, "Didn't her grandpa send it?"

The third aunt shook her head, "Mom, a few days ago, my sister-in-law's brother and nephew came here often, and I don't know what to bring, but Uncle Liu didn't come. My sister-in-law bought the bones."

Zhang asked suspiciously: "How do you know?"

The third aunt said: "Bao Jin's family said that she met in the market."

The fire in Mrs. Zhang's heart, the family still can't afford it, the eldest son's family even started to buy meat, and while their son and grandson are not at home, the women are generous, so they eat and drink at home.

Hmph, her son and grandson are exhausted, and they are raising their wives to eat meat and not work at home. She is really mad at her, "His father, don't you care?"

Old Qin knocked his head on the pipe and pot, "If you want to eat meat, you can buy it. What do you care about others? Aren't we separated? Let me tell you, if you split up, don't go to Dianxian, don't let others It's not good to say."

What I said at the beginning was good, but now the things in the family are divided into four parts, and the old couple also take one part. When they can't work anymore, they will let their three sons take care of them.Since he didn't give his elder son more property, he couldn't ask for more.Besides, if I said I quit and let my sons take care of me, then the big house wouldn't shirk it. Now that I'm still with the second and third, they naturally won't.

Seeing what old Qintou said, the third aunt curled her lips and gave the second aunt a wink, look, what I said, our father is biased towards the eldest room.

When Mrs. Zhang saw what Old Qintou said, she didn't want to talk to him anymore. She turned around and went into the house. The third aunt followed her again and said to Mrs. Zhang: "Mother, brother Liu from my sister-in-law's family, nephews, and nephews are always Come on, I don't know what to do."

Mrs. Zhang snorted, "How would I know?"

Mrs. Liu doesn't let Liu Xu go out, and it's cold in winter, and she doesn't even stay in the courtyard, so other people's homes don't know Liu Xu is coming.There are no secrets in the countryside, but sometimes there are secrets under the nose, especially for people like Liu who don't like to visit or gossip about others, so they have less gossip.On weekdays, when people came to visit, Liu Xu hid in another room, so no one knew about it. If someone like Mrs. Fu wentssip, they would have to defend Mrs. Liu, so the third aunt also asked about it. Nothing.

At night, when Xiuli had eaten and played for a while and was sent back by Xiurong and Xiuyao, the third aunt quietly asked her if there was anyone from her aunt's house.

Xiuli said: "No, just us."

The third aunt asked her how her aunt's family was doing now.

Xiuli said: "The room is dark, the windows are leaking, the tables are broken and the stools are broken."

The third aunt felt happy in their hearts, Xiumei smiled and said: "Seeing that Xiuyao and Xiurong are still fake immortals all day long, they are much worse than us. I heard that their kang is not strong, and it may fall down at any time." .”

Xiuting also giggled, "In that small house, we meet each other when we go in and out." In fact, as long as the old Qin's house is about the same size, they will meet each other when they come in and out, but it's better than Xiuyao's house where the third grandpa's house lives. The house is much better.

Xiuli pursed her lips and said: "But my aunt's house is much warmer, the kang is hot, people don't fight when they eat, eat as much as they like." She turned around and climbed onto the kang to sleep, sleeping soundly after a while, Still slamming his mouth seems to be reminiscing about the delicious food he has eaten.

Xiuting became jealous, and said to Xiumei: "Your sister is a traitor." As she said that, she turned her head and got on the kang, refusing to pay any attention to them, only breathing heavily.

Xiumei also got angry and cursed back: "Your sister is a traitor." She ignored her and turned to sleep on the other side.

When the third aunt heard it, she scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? If you have time, you should go to the aunt's house as often as possible. She has something delicious to hide and won't let you eat it."

The children thought it was a problem, and Xiumei immediately turned her head to discuss with Xiuting how to cheat, and the two chatted happily.

And Xiurong was still worried about whether Xiuli would go back and betray them, "Yaoyao, do you think Xiuli will say that my aunt is at our house?"

Because Xiuli was a child, they just gave them some advice, and they didn't hide anything about my aunt's presence here.

Xiuyao said: "No, Xiuli is sensible."

Xiuqin listened and said: "It's nothing, if someone asks later, let's say that my aunt's sister came to live, who would know what?"
