Chapter 33
Chapter 33

Mrs. Zhang was not angry, but only smiled and said, "Then you are an aunt, you should, you should."

Meng Yuan'er chuckled, she couldn't be more angry at Zhang's, and it's only natural that people take advantage of their feelings. It stands to reason that a family shouldn't say that, but Zhang was arguing to separate the family at the beginning, so he didn't care about the family. face it.

"Second sister, what are you eating this afternoon?" Mrs. Zhang rolled her eyes, and another thought came to her mind.

How could Meng Yuan'er not know what Mrs. Zhang meant, so she pretended to be worried and said, "Mother is sick, and Xi'er sprained her ankle again. I cooked a pot of porridge by myself, steamed some yams, and made some sauce. I just ate, what's the matter? Sister-in-law didn't cook either?"

"I did it! I did it! How can I not do it? Your elder brother is coming back soon. Me, I'm going to clean up the meatballs. You go back and cook." When Zhang heard this, she was in a hurry The answer is, what porridge do you eat in the afternoon, tsk.

Seeing Zhang's hastily closing the wooden door, Meng Yuan'er shrugged helplessly and walked towards the back kitchen.

After dinner, Meng Hai went back to his room to rest. Today was a solid day of exhaustion, and he didn't even bother to talk.

The two sisters, Xi'er and Meng Yuaner, will be fine after finishing their work. The stars in the sky have not yet come out. Xi'er is sitting on a stool in the yard, looking a little bored.

In ancient times, there was no electricity, and this entertainment life was much less. Going to bed early and getting up early seems to have become a rule. Those married women can still hang out when they have nothing to do. I, a girl who has never left the court, always runs outside. not good.

Needlework is not as good as Meng Yuaner's, and she has no interest in it. Xi'er rests her chin on her hands, obviously a little depressed.

Meng Yuaner sat aside, carefully embroidering the handkerchief one stitch at a time, and the two of them talked with one another.

After eating, Mrs. Zhang went to visit with her wealth in her arms. Meng Changdong was thinking about the orchard in the back mountain, and went to the back mountain with a hoe on his shoulder.

Life in the country is simple and repetitive.

"Second Sister, let's go to the town tomorrow!" Xi'er had a flash of inspiration, and this thought popped up. After all, she hadn't been to the town for a long time, and she won a tael of silver for nothing. situation, let’s buy some things and come back.

There are too many things she wants to do, re-paste the windows, sew a four-piece suit for the quilt, buy beautiful clothes for herself, and buy food for the family. , She looked through the cabinets at home, and in her own room, there was only a thin layer of quilts, which smelled musty.

Calculated in this way, one tael of silver is probably not enough to spend. Now that I have sprained my ankle, I really can't find any way to make a fortune for a while. What is written in the book is selling vegetables and food?Judging from my current situation, it is simply impossible.

Anyway, I still have some money, so I might as well do what I want to do first, wait until my feet are better, and think of a way.

Meng Yuan'er didn't know, but in just a short while, so many thoughts had flashed through Xi'er's mind, she just froze for a moment before saying, "No, your foot injury is still not healed."

"It's okay, didn't I walk pretty well after eating? Besides, the medicated oil my mother touched me is amazing, and it doesn't hurt anymore." Xi'er said sincerely, but it is true that it doesn't hurt anymore , It's just a minor injury.

Meng Yuan'er looked at the sewing basket in her hand. There were already several embroidered silk handkerchiefs in it, plus the ones embroidered by her mother, there might be ten of them. The food she brought back from the old house was eaten. It's almost the same time, it's time to change money to buy food.

But she looked at Xi'er's feet, and asked worriedly, "Can you really do it?"

"Yes!" Seeing that she didn't believe her, Xi'er immediately stood up and said anxiously, "How about I dance for you?"

"Don't stop, don't skip around, I believe you are, sit down quickly, apply some medicated oil before going to bed at night, and you should be fine tomorrow." Seeing her appearance, Meng Yuaner immediately grabbed Xi Son's hand, persuaded.

Seeing that Meng Yuaner compromised, Xi'er finally gave up, and smiled.

In the morning of the next day, the sun was still shining, and after making breakfast, Xi'er waited for her father and elder brother to go out, so Xi'er happily went back to the room, and took out the one tael of silver from under the pillow.

Meng Yuan'er went to talk to Mrs. Liu, gave some instructions, and then left.

After thinking about it for a while, I was still uneasy, so I knocked on the door of the East Room with some reluctance.

Mrs. Zhang opened the door with Fugui in her arms, saw Meng Yuaner standing at the door, and asked in confusion, "What's the matter?"

"Sister-in-law, I want to go to town with Xi'er. When you make lunch, bring a bowl to your mother." Meng Yuan'er looked at Mrs. Zhang with a begging look in her eyes.

Thinking that yesterday's bowl of meatballs helped, Mrs. Zhang agreed with a pleasing expression, "What do you think is the matter, you can go at ease."

Seeing Mrs. Zhang agreeing so readily, Meng Yuan'er couldn't help laughing, "Sister-in-law, you are really a good person."

After saying this, he turned around and bounced back to the room.

Suddenly being praised by Meng Yuaner, Mrs. Zhang froze for a long time, and muttered, "Could it be that I was always a bad person before?"

Meng Yuan'er took the twenty Wen money that Xi'er gave her before, and carefully put it in her bosom. This was her first private money, and she wrapped the embroidered handkerchief, and then followed Xi'er out Door.

This time, the two of them really walked to the town step by step. The journey of more than ten miles was not usually tiring.

Xi'er was in a good mood, and finally she was able to go out for a walk. The hard work became less difficult. The two chattered all the way, but felt that the mountain road that was so far away before had arrived before noon.

After entering Lianzhen, Xi'er was like a wild horse running wild, wandering the streets and alleys, as if she wanted to vent the depression she had been locked up at home for the past two months.

Meng Yuan'er followed behind her, but she didn't say much. It was the first time for the two little girls to go shopping happily without any burden.

"Second Sister, let's go eat Jiuniangyuanzi." Xi'er saw a banner hanging at the intersection of a small alley not far away, with Jiuyuanzi written on it, she immediately became interested, swallowed hard and said.

"Okay." Seeing her so happy, Meng Yuan'er couldn't say anything more, not to mention that the wine balls are not expensive, and you can eat a big bowl for three renminbi.

The two sat down at the small wooden table by the street, this was Xi'er's first time eating in the town.

"Boss, two bowls of wine balls." Xi'er waved her hand and said proudly to the busy stall owner.

The old lady who set up the stall seemed to be very energetic. She looked at them kindly, and then said with a smile, "Okay, wait a moment." As soon as the words fell, the hands started to operate .

　The smog is so severe recently. Little angels who read books should remember to wear masks when going out to protect their bodies. Drink more hot water when it is cold. Today is the winter solstice, remember to eat dumplings~~ hee hee.
