After rebirth, mother is hard to do

Chapter 6 Homecoming
Seeing her bold clothes, Meng Yuxuan didn't want to have too much contact with her.But if she wants to sell embroidery, this person must be contacted.Looking at the whole town, only this place has the most complete embroidery products, so this is the only place that can help her sell at a good price.

"Embroidery requires a deposit, and I don't have much money left. So, I'm afraid I can't accept too big or too thin." Meng Yuxuan thought for a while and said. "Look at my handkerchief. The plum blossoms on it were embroidered by me three years ago."

The handkerchief in Meng Yuxuan's hand was actually embroidered two months ago.The reason for saying this is because her current craftsmanship is much better than before her rebirth, and her sudden rise so fast is likely to arouse suspicion.

Liniang took the handkerchief and carefully looked at the pattern on it.She thought for a while and said, "The skills are not mature, but the spirit is better. I think it looks good. Let's do it! Recently, there was a young lady who was eager to use a batch of handkerchiefs as a dowry. If you think it is suitable, you can take ten pieces of work." Give it a try. If you do well, I'll give you a few better jobs next time."

"How do you calculate the price? How much is the deposit?" Meng Yuxuan asked.

"Since your skills were three years ago, you must be more proficient now. How about this kind of small handkerchief? If the embroidery is good, you can increase the price. As for the deposit...the deposit will not cost much. I will give you silk thread and handkerchiefs, all of which cost money. Deposit [-] cents for ten square handkerchiefs!" Liniang calculated one by one, and finally gave the result.

"Okay. Then give me ten handkerchiefs first." Meng Yuxuan picked out some silk thread and ten handkerchiefs, and paid a deposit of fifty cash.

For many people, these ten square handkerchiefs are half a month's work.But for her, it was only three or four days.This is on the premise that she has to do other work.

If it wasn't for Shangguanxi and Shangguanhuan who both needed silver to dispense medicine, she could support the family by embroidering small handkerchiefs.However, with two medicine jars, this income is not enough.

Meng Yuxuan went to the gathering place with a basket full of food on her back.By this time the others had arrived.When they saw Meng Yuxuan's big basket, they all had complicated expressions.

As soon as he got into the bullock cart, Wang Chengkui counted the number of people and said, "Sit tight! Let's go now!"

"Let's go! I'm still in a hurry to go back to see the paparazzi!" a woman urged.

The paparazzi in the woman's mouth is her youngest son.She gave birth to three daughters in a row, and finally gave birth to a son, and the whole family treated her like a baby.

"Your paparazzi is three years old and hasn't been weaned yet? You are too spoiled." The woman next to her made fun of her.

"What can I do? I want to break it too, but my mother insists. She said that paparazzi can eat as much as they want. Only after eating more mother's milk can they grow strong." The woman said happily.

"Xi'erniang, you are really willing to buy it. We can only see this white rice and white noodles for one day during the Chinese New Year. You bought so much because you plan to eat it every day?" A woman looked at Meng Yuxuan enviously. "But Niang Xier, the head of your family has just been injured, so it's right to eat something good. But it's better to save some money, don't spend all your money. There will still be room for money in the future."

"Sister-in-law is right." Meng Yuxuan listened carefully to the woman's words and said with a smile on her face.

"You are wrong about Xi'erniang. Our family has dealt with their head of the family several times. Xi'er has been weak since she was a child, and she can't eat rough noodles. She must eat thinner things. If Xierniang buys some rough noodles and goes home, I'm afraid they will be unhappy if they are the head of the family." Aunt Lin didn't want people in the village to misunderstand that Meng Yuxuan couldn't live a life, so she explained to her.

"So that's the case." Everyone looked at Meng Yuxuan sympathetically.

"Auntie, don't excuse her. Now that the head of the family is injured, she has the final say on how to use the family's money. I see that she is greedy." Hui Erniang snorted.

"Sister-in-law said this because you have the final say in your family. The big and small things in our family are decided by the head of the family. Of course, how to use the money is also arranged by the head of the family." Meng Yuxuan said lazily: "I know my sister-in-law doesn't like it. Me. Fortunately, our two families are far apart, otherwise, we would be unhappy if we keep our heads down all day and don’t see them up."

"Say less." Aunt Lin patted the back of Meng Yuxuan's hand.

"Auntie, I didn't provoke trouble." Meng Yuxuan smiled, and glanced at Hui Erniang.

An hour later, the ox cart returned to the village.Meng Yuxuan's home is in the innermost part of the village, the closest to the mountains and the farthest from the village.Wang Chengkui still sent her to the door of the house.

Meng Yuxuan's pannier was bought from a woman for three Wen.Now the back basket is full of food and food.

She walked into the yard with a basket on her back, and found a white shadow passing by the door.She was stunned for a while, and it took a while to realize that it should be Shangguanxi's figure.

The kid...has he been waiting for her to come back?

He is longing for a mother, right?After all, Shangguan Huan was very strict with him and never showed his love.Such a small child is actually more willing to run into his mother's arms and act like a baby.

"Xi'er, I'm back!" Meng Yuxuan put the basket into the kitchen and immediately went to Shangguanxi's room. "Little slob, haven't you gotten up yet?"

"I'm not a slob." Kuang!The door opens.Shangguanxi stared at Meng Yuxuan with a red face. "I'm up early."

"Really? You can't lie to me, right?" Meng Yuxuan deliberately pretended not to believe it.

"Of course it's true. I've already written ten pages of big characters." Shangguan Xi said unhappily when Meng Yuxuan was suspicious.

"Xi'er is really powerful." Meng Yuxuan smiled and gently stroked his hair. "Have you eaten the gnocchi in the pot? Did you take good care of your father?"

"Daddy and I both took medicine and breakfast." Shangguanxi blushed and lowered his head in embarrassment. "Gnocchi is delicious, thank you."

Meng Yuxuan was amazed at this child's sensibility, and felt sorry for his sensibility.At this age, the children in the village are still climbing trees, digging out bird eggs and fishing in rivers.If you are being bullied, go home and sue.However, Shangguanxi writes dozens of pages of big characters every day, and he can't go out of the gate twice, and he has to thank her for a meal.His mind is really delicate.

"Silly boy, this is what I should do. You're welcome." Meng Yuxuan squatted down, looked at Shangguanxi at the same level, and smiled softly: "From now on, you will treat me as your friend. If there is anything you want to eat or drink You can tell me what you are playing. I will keep it secret for you and not tell others."

"You...are you not leaving?" Shangguanxi looked at Meng Yuxuan expectantly.

"If you and your father don't drive me away..." Meng Yuxuan nodded.

"My father didn't drive you away before, so you left anyway. Is it because you don't like me, so you don't want to stay?" Shangguanxi's eyes were red, and his expression was very pitiful.

"Who told you this? Whether I leave or not has nothing to do with you." Meng Yuxuan frowned, doubts flashing in her eyes.

"I know. You don't need to hide it from me. They said that I have been sick since I was a child, and I spend a lot of money every day. My father has such a burden like me, so I don't want to get married in this life. No one wants to marry him." Shangguan As Xi talked, tears fell like pearls.

Meng Yuxuan felt sorry for Shangguanxi's sensitivity, and was annoyed at those who said those words.She wiped the tears from his face, and said very seriously: "Fool. You were cheated by them!"

Shangguanxi looked at Meng Yuxuan with teardrops, his pure eyes were full of doubts.He didn't speak, but those bright eyes seemed to say: Why?
Meng Yuxuan dragged Shangguanxi into the house, poured him a glass of water, and watched him drink it.Then picked him up and sat him in her arms while she sat on the chair.

Shangguanxi was a little awkward.He had never been this close to anyone before.Even his father, he has never been so close.Shangguan Huan was really a strict father to him.

"Do you know how they judged your father?" Meng Yuxuan said while touching Shangguanxi's small face.

Shangguanxi struggled a bit, but Meng Yuxuan didn't let go, so he stopped moving.Although it was awkward at first, he soon relaxed into her arms.

"Fierce, scary." Shangguanxi rarely went out, so he didn't know what others thought of Shangguanhuan.He can only guess what others think through his own.

The reason why he heard gossip about him being a nuisance was because last time Shangguan Huan went to the mountains and didn't come back for two days, he was really afraid of something happening, so he ran out without permission.He met people in the village on the road, and then he heard them gossip about him and his father.It happened that Shangguan Huan came back at this time, and he followed Shangguan Huan home, but those words remained in his heart and became a knot in his heart.

"That's just one aspect." Meng Yuxuan chuckled: "They said that Xiao Xi'er from Shangguan's family is really good-looking, just like a fairy boy under the disciple of Master Guanyin. Shangguan Huan is really lucky to have such a beautiful son! If I have such a good son, I have to hold it in my hand and pamper it. Some children say, oh, why is my father not as good as Uncle Huan? If my father is half as fond of Xiaoxier as Uncle Huan loves, I will be satisfied Yes. Do you know how pitiful the talking child is with a runny nose and tears? I feel distressed just looking at it!"

Meng Yuxuan deliberately used several voices to describe the scene.As if seeing such a scene with his own eyes, Shangguanxi laughed happily.

"Did they really say that? Are they envious of me and my father, that's why they said that?" Shangguan Xi's eyes were crooked when he smiled, and there were two dimples on his cheeks.

"Of course." Meng Yuxuan looked serious. "I never tell lies. Those who lie will be eaten by wolves. We are close to the mountains, and wolves will come and go at any time."

"Then you left because you hated Xi'er?" Shangguan Xi looked at Meng Yuxuan innocently.

"Silly boy, when did I say I'm leaving?" Meng Yuxuan snorted, "My deed of prostitution is still in your father's hands, where can I go? I just want to go to the town. After all, I'm changing from one place to another." I don’t have a place where I don’t know anyone around me, so why don’t I stay here every day without going out? I’ll become a fool sooner or later. I’m just walking, how can I be called like that?”

"Then you won't leave in the future?" Shangguanxi said happily after receiving an affirmative answer.
