Farmer's Head: Busy farming

Chapter 243 The taste of home
Seeing Xi'er's enthusiastic appearance, Mrs. Liu excitedly opened the box, and took out a button-up padded jacket with a reddish-brown pattern, with bright red peonies embroidered with silk threads on it. It looked like a good thing.

Xi'er handed the silk padded coat to Mrs. Liu, and then said with a smile, "Mother, try it quickly, see if you like it or not!"

Touching the slippery material in her hand, Mrs. Liu looked at the bright red peony with a bit of embarrassment on her face, "I'm getting old, how can such a bright color be suitable."

"It's suitable, it's suitable." Xi'er felt that Liu's face was pale all the year round, and with this kind of clothes, she looked a bit more complex. The color was a relatively low-key and restrained reddish-brown, not ostentatious, which was most suitable for Liu's People of this age.

Knowing that Xi'er is also a filial piety, Mrs. Liu nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, I know this is your wish, mother just accept it."

"Well, as long as mother likes it." Seeing that Liu Shi liked it, Xi'er was relieved. In fact, she didn't know that even if she gave Liu Shi a piece of rag, Liu Shi would also like it in her heart.

Standing aside, Mrs. Zhang kept reaching out to touch the clothes on Mrs. Liu's hands. Although she didn't ask, the meaning was obvious, "This material is really good."

Xi'er looked at Zhang's vigor, and then smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, yours is here!"

Xi'er knew that Zhang's love of beauty and ostentatiousness, so she bought some jewelry for her, gold-plated and emerald, which were not too expensive.

Mrs. Zhang looked at Xi'er holding those glittering and bright jewels, her eyes straightened involuntarily, she opened her mouth wide and said in surprise, "This, are these all for me?"

"Yes, I know sister-in-law likes jewelry, so I bought some for you, don't be disgusted." Xi'er handed the jewelry in her hand to Mrs. Zhang, and then said.

Mrs. Zhang took it and nodded in her hand. The weight is not heavy, but this jewelry is too delicate. The butterfly is made like the real thing, lifelike, and it feels like it will fly in the next second.

The things in Bianjing City are really good. This is the first time I have seen such an exquisite hair accessory.

"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it, it's even more beautiful than the tiaras of those ladies in the town." Mrs. Zhang shook her head with a smile in a hurry, and couldn't put it down.

Xi'er saw that she liked her, so she couldn't help but look at Mrs. Zhang a few more times. After returning this time, she felt that Mrs. Zhang had changed even more, and seemed to be more easy to get along with than before.

Seeing Xi'er busy, Mrs. Liu asked with concern, "Are you hungry? Have you eaten yet?"

"I haven't eaten yet, I want to eat the sauce noodles made by my mother." Xi'er shook her head, she didn't feel any embarrassment, so she looked at Liu Shi and said coquettishly.

When Liu heard that Xi'er hadn't eaten, she immediately stood up, put the clothes on the box, and said, "Then just wait, I'll make it for you."

The soy sauce noodles are actually just a big sauce and minced meat fried together, a bit like modern miscellaneous sauce noodles, but the taste is not very similar.

The reason why Xi'er likes to eat it is because the bowl of noodles has a family taste, and the sauce is Liu's handicraft, even if Xi'er is so smart, she can't learn that taste.

Mrs. Liu went to the kitchen happily, while Mrs. Zhang was still sitting there looking at the hair ornament in her hand, and then asked, "Xi'er, it cost you a lot of money to go out."

"Fortunately, the salary is enough." Xi'er nodded, some of it was indeed her own salary.

Seeing Xi'er say that, Mrs. Zhang knew that she shouldn't ask more questions, so she smiled awkwardly, "You eat noodles later, and I'll bring you some pickles, which I just pickled a few days ago. I can eat again today."

"Okay, thank you sister-in-law." Xi'er smiled sweetly, and then thanked Mrs. Zhang.

Seeing Xi'er's smiling face, Mrs. Zhang felt more and more at ease. In fact, there are quite a few families who are so harmonious, but what she got in exchange for a little pickles was so many gold-plated jewelry.

Mrs. Liu cooks very fast. Thinking of Xi'er's exhaustion from traveling all the way, a bowl of noodles was ready in no time.

Xi'er looked at the steaming sauce noodles in front of her, and the pickles brought by Mrs. Zhang were placed beside the bowl, so she picked up her chopsticks and started eating.

This taste is not delicious, but Xi'er just thinks it is delicious, this is the taste of home, no amount of delicacies from mountains and seas can compare.

Mrs. Zhang was a little surprised to see how delicious Xi'er ate, but is puffed noodles all night so delicious?

"Mother, this noodles taste really good, and the pickles are delicious too." Feeling Liu's loving gaze, Xi'er raised her head and grinned.

After saying this, Mrs. Liu felt very relieved, "It's as good as it tastes, as long as you like it."

After Xi'er ate a bowl of noodles, Meng Changdong helped Meng Hai back, Mrs. Zhang went to open the door, supported Meng Hai and said with a smile, "Father, Xi'er is back."

"Xi'er?" Because of illness, Meng Hai's back was bent a bit, and his voice became hoarse, but after hearing this, his eyes lit up, and he seemed to be in better spirits.

"Yeah, Xi'er is back, and she bought a lot of things." Mrs. Zhang responded immediately, her tone full of joy.

Meng Hai was also happy in his heart, after all, he was his own child, he was not happy for Xi'er to leave, but for Xi'er, there was nothing he could do.

Now that the child is back, how can the father be unhappy, "Just come back."

Xi'er put down the chopsticks in her hand, stood up, walked out of the main room, quickly took Meng Hai from Meng Changdong's hand, and then said to the two, "Father, big brother."

"Well, it's good to be back." Meng Changdong's dark skin, even in winter, was tanned brightly, and when he grinned, his teeth became whiter.

Seeing Meng Hai's haggard appearance, Xi'er felt very sore in her heart, and she couldn't help asking, "Father, what's wrong with you? You were fine before?"

"I don't know, I had a cold a few days ago, and now it's getting worse, but I'm fine, I've already gone to see the doctor." Meng Hai said so much in one breath, and couldn't help coughing a few times after finishing speaking.

Xi'er couldn't help sighing, and asked with concern, "But did you go to see that Doctor Guo?"

"I just went today, and I prescribed three sets of Chinese medicine for my father, and told me to go after eating." Meng Changdong answered the words, and shook the Chinese medicine in his hand.

Xi'er couldn't help asking, "Didn't you be sick for a long time? Why didn't you go today?"

"Well, the family doesn't have much income in the winter, and my father is afraid of seeing a doctor, so he has been dragging it on." Meng Changdong said with a guilty conscience, and he didn't dare to look up into Xi'er's eyes.

Xi'er was stunned for a moment, and suddenly became angry, "Money is not as important as your body, Dad, you can still earn money if you lose your money! If you lose your body, you have nothing!"
