Rebirth Farmhouse

Chapter 267

On June [-]th, the sky was blue and cloudy, and it was sunny.Around this day is the day when my aunt goes back to her mother's house to dry quilts, books, and store food.

Originally, the Liu family was going back to her natal family, but Liu Shengcheng went back once in person, and now she also has a daughter and son-in-law, so she wants to entertain the uncle and the girl at home.

Qin Ye went to pick her up early in the morning. On the way, she met Bai Xun'an who was sending Xiuqin over. Bai Xun'an said that she still had to study, so she sent Xiuqin here. Since Qin Ye went to pick it up, let Qin Ye pick up Xiuqin. Qin went back to her mother's house to stay for a few days, while he said that he went to study at home.

Anyway, on June [-]th, girls usually live at their mother's house, and Qin Ye didn't care if Bai Xun'an didn't come, so he took Xiuqin's house after a few words of advice.

Xiuqin hasn't been back to her mother's house since she got married. After she got married, she became pregnant and had to raise a baby. Afterwards, she gave birth to a child who was too young to go out.

Yuanyuan was born fat and white, wearing a beautiful cotton underwear, shaved her head, leaving a peach shape on the top of her head.Now it was the time for babbling, staring at a pair of big black and watery eyes, spitting bubbles in his mouth, waving his small hands, and barking vigorously at the donkey.

Qin Ye could see it carefully, and hugged him softly, "Come on, uncle will hold you and drive the donkey."

As he said that, he gave him the whip, and his white, tender, chubby little hand immediately held it, shook it, and yelled "uh-hmm".

Xiuqin's face was full of gentleness and kindness, she wiped the sweat off the forehead of her elder brother and Yuanyuan from time to time, and then chatted with him about the family affairs.

The three brothers and sisters arrived at home, and the family was catching pigs to sell. It was still Liu Yan who personally brought people to catch pigs and sell them.

Xiurong thought it was smelly, so she took a fan and fanned it under the grape arbor. When she saw them coming in, she immediately went up to greet them happily, "Eldest sister, Yuanyuan!"

As soon as she moved Yuanyuan over, the little baby suddenly snatched her fan away, and thought that the braid on her chest was funny, so the chubby hand grabbed it unceremoniously.

Xiurong was scratched on the face by him, and she was hot, and hurriedly yelled, "Oh, it's disfigured, hurry up and take it away."

Mrs. Liu came back from the outside with a smile, hurriedly hugged her grandson, and cried loudly, making Yuanyuan giggle.

Xiuqin took a look, "Where's Yaoyao? Xiuxian is still in the weaving workshop."

She knew that the second and third brothers were studying, and that Xiuxian and the eldest sister-in-law were watching the weaving workshop.

Liu Shi smiled and pointed, "It's selling pigs."

Xiuqin was about to go and see, Xiurong hurriedly said: "Sister, what's there to see, it smells strange."

But Xiuqin said: "This is my home, no matter how stinky it is, I like it, mother, you don't know, I always dream that we are together."

As he spoke, his eyes turned red, and he quickly turned his back to wipe away his tears.

Liu Shi hurriedly smiled and comforted her, "Let's go, come back after a long time, go and have a look."

The three mothers left, and Xiurong dangled under the grape trellis again.

Xiuqin and Liu Shi went to the farm with Yuanyuan in their arms. She looked in surprise as she walked, she was as excited as a little girl, she said this and that, her eyes flashed with a strange light, as if she was too restrained. Haven't been this lively in a long time.

Liu's heart felt a little uncomfortable when she saw it. Xiuqin was originally a gentle and quiet girl, not an exaggerated temperament, but thinking about it, it might be a long time since she went back to her mother's house, and excitement is also possible.

Xiuyao took advantage of the abundance of seedlings and melons last year, so she raised a batch of pigs. Now it's time for slaughter. The combination of vegetable greenhouses and farms has achieved great success, attracting many people to learn.

They all said they wanted to do the same thing as Xiuyao's house, but Xiuyao didn't say anything this time, because Qin Sanshun said before that she wanted to be the same as her family, but she said that it should be combined with reality, and the vegetable shed can be smaller enough to feed her family. up.The third uncle and the third aunt thought that Xiuyao was jealous of his family, for fear that their family would steal the business.

So they built a big greenhouse, but they didn't have better technical support, and they didn't have so much money to spare, so they didn't look like anything, and looked crooked.

This time Xiuyao sells pigs, Qin Sanshun and his wife also came to see, wanting Liu Yan to take away their own pigs as well.

They raised a total of four pigs. They didn't have enough food, they only ate vegetables and pigweed, so they weren't as big as Xiuyao's.

It's not cost-effective to go out now.

"Fifteen Wen is too little, my family needs twenty Wen."

Qin Sanshun asked for prices all over the place, and felt that Xiuyao must have lowered the price on purpose because she was lying to him, maybe she was still earning a commission.

Xiuyao ignored him, "Sandada, you can sell it yourself, since there are only four pigs, it's easy to sell."

As soon as Liu Yan heard Qin Sanshun's description, he knew what his pigs were like, and said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, your pigs are probably all lean meat, and I'm not even willing to take them at fifteen. It's because of the fourth girl. For the sake."

When Qin Sanshun heard this, he was very angry, but he didn't dare to play tricks with Liu Yan, so he sneered, "Then I'll see if I can sell more."

Angrily, he turned and left.

The third aunt refused to leave, but stared at it, and saw Liu Yan and Xiuyao settling accounts there.

It was also seen that Xiuyao was picking up the abacus, and the two lips were touching up and down so that they could calculate the number, and then asked Liu Yan to do the calculation again.

However, Liu Yan had a bold look, "No need, there is something wrong with the fourth girl's calculation."

As he said that, he handed over a stack of bank notes, "The money is all stored in Datong Bank, and you can use it as you go, and you will pay when you see the notes."

Xiuyao checked it carefully, it's good, not afraid of thieves thinking about it.

Now that the family has a lot of money, some of it is still silver, and Liu's family is hiding in that box, locked in the underground of the house, and no one except Xiuyao knows about it.

The other part is exchanged for bank notes, which can be taken at any time. Now that the family has two farms, it also needs a lot of money.

With these more than 200 taels of silver, it is enough to do many things.

The third aunt was annoyed that even if they paid the money in their own yard, they still carried people behind their backs, and wanted to step up to take a peek at that Xiuyao, so she twisted her waist to block her view, making her curl her lips in anger, but she still saw a stack of bank notes .

Immediately, I felt unspeakable, jealous and resentful, thinking that the money should have belonged to my family.

As for why it is hers, she always has a way to count the money on her own head, such as how many years she has raised the children for Dafang, how much she has helped, for example, Dafang should give it to them Money is right.

After selling the pigs and those chickens, ducks and rabbits, Xiuyao asked Liu Yan to stay for dinner.

Liu Yan said with a smile: "Of course the fourth girl has to eat. Even if the brothers are together, the pig must be sent away first. Anyway, the days are long and there is plenty of time to eat."

Xiuyao didn't want to keep him any longer, so she shouted, "Mother, aren't we newly rolled cakes? Boil dozens of eggs and cut [-] catties of roast meat for Big Brother Liu and the others to eat on the way."

The third aunt was about to leave, but when she saw Liu Shi and Xiuqin coming, she left to investigate openly, while pretending to tease the child, but took advantage of everyone's unpreparedness, she curled her lips and stared at him fiercely, which aroused Yuanyuan's curiosity look at her.

This time Xiuyao said so generously about twenty catties of roast meat and dozens of eggs, she was so shocked that she couldn't help but let out a cry, "Oh sister-in-law, you are really rich, rich, and have become local rich people." Tsk tsk, listen to Yaoyao's tone."

Seeing her pinching Yuanyuan's little arm, Mrs. Liu hurriedly hugged her and turned around so as not to let her pinch her green.

"Liu Yan helped me a lot. What's this little meat and egg? We are always like this. If he treats us well, we will be even better."

After talking, he didn't talk to the third aunt, so he took Xiuqin to prepare.

Although Liu Shi and the third aunt had never had a confrontation, she also knew that the third aunt did one thing in person and another behind the other, and she instigated many things about the second aunt.

Now that the second aunt's family has moved to the back, and has no frequent contact with her own family, Mrs. Liu is very comfortable, so she doesn't pay much attention to the third aunt.The third aunt wanted to talk to her many times, about other people's parents, but Liu Shi was not willing to listen.She has known for many years and knows who the third aunt is, especially now that the family is separated, she comes to tell herself who is talking bad about Dafang, who has any opinions, and then wants to trap her, and then go out and tell others about her. What do you think about others.

Mrs. Liu has heard Qin Decai's daughter-in-law, Cao Yuelian's mother-in-law and others talk about it many times, and she knows what she is thinking now. If she can deal with as little as possible, she will do as little as possible. At worst, let her say that she is not close to her sister-in-law, and she can't make her distort anything. Go out and talk nonsense.

This side is preparing food for Liu Yan and the others, and the Liu family has sent people to Zhifang to pick up Xu Erni and Xiuxian.

Xu Erni hadn't seen her sister-in-law a few times, so she went back to her mother's house on purpose to get close to Xiuqin at home these days.

When there are more people, the small courtyard becomes lively, and the sound of chirping and quacking voices fills the ears.

The other women were busy working together, Xu Erni was going to help Zhang, and Xiuyao was assigned to look after the child. The seven-month-old child began to be curious about everything, became mischievous, danced, and always wanted to grab things with her little hands.Seeing the flowers and braids on Xiuyao's head, she grabbed them.

Xiuyao was so busy that she was sweating profusely in no time, and her hair was messed up.

"Haha, the child is so cute." A clear voice came, Xiuyao turned her head to look, saw Xu Zhenyi, greeted with a busy smile, and wanted to grab Yuanyuan's hand in embarrassment.As a result, he grabbed Xiuyao's braid as soon as he grabbed it, and he held on firmly and refused to let go, giggling happily.

Xu Zhenyi saw that Xiuyao's expression changed in pain, so she quickly put down her things and stepped forward to help.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

When they were struggling, Xiurong came out from the yard and saw three people making a mess at the door.

Xu Zhenyi hurriedly took Yuanyuan away and asked Xiuyao to clean it up. Xiuyao shouted, "Third Sister, hurry up and hug the little thing. With such great strength, I don't know who to follow if you catch me to death."

Xiurong hurriedly stepped forward to take Yuanyuan away, and looked at Xu Zhenyi carefully, "Are you okay?"

Xu Zhenyi said with a smile: "I'm at Grandma's house, and I'll come over to see my aunt."

Xiurong's smile was not a smile, but her eyes were full of sarcasm, "I'm here to see my second sister, she hasn't come back from Zhifang."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiuxian's loud voice rang out in the yard, not knowing what to say to the elder sister and the others, she laughed aloud.

Xiuyao was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly asked Xu Zhenyi to enter the yard. Xiurong couldn't stop her, so she just gave Xiuyao a look, and said to her secretly: "Mind your own business."

Xiuyao made a face at her, and went to pick a bunch of morning glory for Yuanyuan to play with, lest he keep scratching her hair.

Everyone didn't expect Xu Zhenyi to come, a little surprised, Xiuxian graciously let him sit in the room, and greeted him, asking Aunt Xu and others how they were.

Xu Zhenyi answered one by one, and handed over the gift he brought.

Mrs. Liu asked Qin Ye to be in charge of entertaining him, "Maybe your aunt and uncle will come and have dinner together."

But Xu Zhenyi smiled and said: "Auntie, I just came to Fourth Grandma's house, and I will drop by to have a look, and I have to go there in a while."

The Liu family and Qin Ye chatted with him about the family life, about the year, knowing each other's white weddings, and finally talking about the Qin family's farm and Panmai, which are rare things.

Xiuqin and a few younger sisters were preparing meals below. She looked up and saw Xu Zhenyi sitting in the main room. He was a handsome young man, full of heroic spirit.She asked Xiuyao who he was.

Xiuyao clarified the relationship between Xu Zhenyi and her family in a few words, and it was only then that Xiuqin knew that he was a relative of that nephew of Grandma Zhou, a young man from the widow's family where Xiuxian helped.

She smiled and said, "It looks like a nice person, and he's not too young, he must be eighteen or nineteen years old."

While eating apricot plums, Xiuyao secretly gave Yuanyuan a lick, the soreness made his mouth pucker, and he went to eat his fingers again.

"Eldest sister, my third sister said that he has taken a fancy to second sister. I wonder if she wants to propose marriage?"

When Xiurong heard this, she immediately said to Xiuqin: "Eldest sister, you have to persuade our mother not to agree, this Xu Zhenyi is a military household, maybe he will go to war in the future, if the second sister goes to his house, it will definitely not be easy Yes. And the soldiers are all rude and strong, and the second sister is no match for him."

Xiuqin chuckled and said: "This marriage is not a marriage, what's the use of being strong, do you think our mother is as strong as my father?"

Xiurong immediately retorted, "Your father is simple and honest, look at this Xu Zhenyi, you will be full of heart."

Xiuqin doesn't like to argue with people, especially someone as eloquent as Xiurong, she said with a smile: "Anyway, parents have the final say on such a big matter."

Xiuxian went to the well to fetch water, and when she heard them talking about big and small things, she asked curiously, "What are you talking about?" She picked up two watermelons and put them in it.

Xiurong half-jokingly said: "Second sister, you are so old, shouldn't it be time to say kiss?"

Even if Xiuxian was careless, she would naturally be embarrassed to talk about intimate matters like kissing, but she was not as shy as other girls, so she spat, "Little San, be careful, I will twist your armpit , don't be ashamed."

Xiurong curled her lips, "Second Sister, why are you pretending? It's not like we haven't discussed it before."

Xiuxian threw a fat peach to her, "Shut up, don't talk about nothing, don't worry, let mother promise you a kiss first, lest you be afraid that you won't be able to get married."

Xiurong was thin-skinned and annoyed all of a sudden, her cheeks were flushed, she curled her lips and stomped her feet, "Hmph, but no one came all the way to see me and give me a few big carps."

Xiuxian looked at them in surprise, "Someone gave Xiuyao a big carp? Qi Feng is here?"

Xiuyao rocked Yuanyuan on the rocking chair and said with a smile, "What does Qi Feng have to do with carp? He should go on a boat."

This second sister, Xu Zhenyi clearly sees her every time, she doesn't know that, when people say that she is on the way, she believes that she is on the way, alas.

Xiurong walked to the door and took a look inside the room. They didn't pay attention to the outside, so she pulled Xiuxian to a corner and asked, "Second sister, tell us the truth, if Xu Zhenyi wants to marry you, are you Aren't you going to marry him?"

Xiuxian was startled, her long black eyebrows raised suddenly, her mouth opened wide, she blinked quickly, and pointed to herself, "You mean me? Didn't you mean you?"

Xiurong pushed her and said angrily, "What are you talking about, of course it's you."

Xiuxian laughed and said, "I thought he had his eyes on you, he said you are pretty."

Xiurong's face was ruddy, a little unnatural, "Don't interrupt, I'm already pretty, so I don't need him to tell me, I'm asking you something serious."

Xiuxian said: "Look at what mother means, if mother agrees, I will agree."

Xiurong said angrily: "Your mother asked you to marry an ugly monster, and you also marry?"

Xiuxian nodded, "That ugly bastard must be the best person, otherwise why would mother let me marry?"

"I lost to you." Xiurong ignored her.

Xu Zhenyi came to Qin's house specially because he was going to leave in a few days. He has gone to Lingshanwei now and came back with some free time. This trip will take another year.

He looked for an opportunity to explain his situation clearly, regardless of whether Liu Shiming understood what he meant, as long as she knew, he got up and left.

Liu hurriedly asked Qin Ye to send him off.

Xiuyao also sent out a few.

When Xu Zhenyi was leaving, he glanced at Xiuxian, but hesitated to speak.
