Carpenter's Lady

Chapter 36

Zhao Miaomiao is going to get married in mid-October, and today she specially asked her mother to take her out for a stroll.She can see the silver her mother buried under the bedpost in the house, if she doesn't take advantage of it now, it will all belong to the third brother in the future.It was said that the third brother was missing, and she felt that Mother knew about it, otherwise, Mother wouldn't just let the Li family go by throwing a small fire or two, and the Li family would definitely be left alone.Today, I must grind my mother to buy her two horses of good material!
Zhao Miaomiao saw that her mother was looking to the right in awe, so she couldn't help turning her head around, and saw a woman with her heart in a bun walking towards the bamboo strip shop with a basket, she looked familiar, and looked carefully, "Hey! ! That's not Zhang Mu!"

I haven't seen her for a few months, but I didn't expect her to look a little rounder!The cheeks are rounded, the waist is soft, and the whole person looks like a ray of soft light, which makes people feel very comfortable just by looking at it!

Zhao Miaomiao caught a glimpse of an exquisite silver hairpin inlaid with emerald grass headworms inlaid with beads on Zhang's wooden hair bun, and a long hairpin carved with silver phoenix flowers. Zhang Mu can be regarded as turning a sparrow into a phoenix, he didn't expect to be so poor!Pulled Mrs. Zhao, "Mom, let's go! There's nothing to see!"

But seeing that his mother ignored him, instead he looked up at the sun, then at the surroundings, and then walked straight to Ding's shop!Zhao Miaomiao's heart skipped a beat. The candied haws that Zhang Mu threw almost ruined her white coat last time, so she stretched out her hand to grab her mother, and urged her in a hurry, "Mother, what are you doing! She It has nothing to do with our family! This is at the gate of Ding's house!"

"It's because this is the Ding family that I have to make a fuss! My ex-grandmother made a fuss at my current mother-in-law's house, I'll see what face she has!" Mrs. Zhao said viciously!snort!How can it be okay!If it weren't for this little bitch, San'er would be exiled in another country, and he wouldn't even be able to take the imperial examination?Why is she still living so well, not to mention remarried, and now she has started a pastry business!Mrs. Zhang is San'er's nemesis, there are so many people on the street today, she has to make a big fuss, she has to make this little girl feel ashamed to survive!

Seeing Mrs. Zhao's woman walking towards the Ding's shop aggressively, someone who knew her on the road, seeing Mrs. Zhao's fierce face, couldn't help slowing down, tsk tsk, isn't that the Ding's house ahead!In March, they had all heard the scene of the former mother-in-law and daughter-in-law fighting, hehe, today it's lively again!

With a sound of "crash", a basin of water rushed out from the bamboo strip shop, "Ah!" Zhao Miaomiao's exclamation made passers-by look sideways!She was standing just behind her mother, and only the left half of her skirt was wet. Looking at her mother again, her hair was dripping, and the cuffs and skirt were dripping with water. Everyone around her was staring at their mother and daughter. Look, she was a little flustered, she didn't wear much to look good, she didn't know if the little clothes were printed, and she didn't dare to reach out to hold her mother for a while, so she called weakly, "Mother!".

Wife Zhao saw the person pouring water slipping into the room, she felt a pain in her heart for a moment.She had just arrived at the door of the shop, and before she could let go of her throat, she was poured over by the basin of cold water. She lowered her head and looked at the clothes on her body. Fortunately, she was wearing a lot of clothes this time, otherwise, if it was summer, such a basin of water would lose her clothes. It's all drenched and stuck to her body, but don't let her lose her life at the end of the festival!I was resentful in my heart, and didn't dare to stay any longer. It's October weather now, so drenched, if I don't go back to change clothes, I will be in trouble if I get cold.

Ding Erniang saw that there was no response outside for a long time, so she leaned out and took a look. Seeing that the mother and daughter of the Zhao family were far away, dripping water all the way, she couldn't help but smiled and said, "I knew it was a group of bullies! Amu, If you meet them again in the future, don’t be afraid, beat them hard!”

Seeing that Zhao's mother and daughter had left, Zhang Mu felt relieved. Although she was not afraid of them, she was at her husband's house after all. If they came to make trouble, she would be embarrassed. She didn't expect Erniang Ding to defend her like this , I was moved for a moment, hugged Ding Erniang's arm, leaned my head on her shoulder, and said softly: "Thank you, mother!"

"What a silly child. If you marry into our family, I will protect you. If your father hears this, you will have to be scolded! Remember in the future, what happened, and We take care of it for you!"

Zhang Mu's eyes turned red. Since she came here, first the Zhang family, then the Ding family and Wu Ling have all treated her so caringly and caringly. She is an incompetent idiot, but she has received so much love and care for no reason. I felt ashamed in my heart, and angry at myself for not living up to expectations!She must stand up in the future, she doesn't have to be protected by others all the time, she also needs to protect these people who love her!
Zhang Mu took out his handkerchief and wiped his eyes lightly, then smiled and said to Ding Erniang: "Mother, let me watch from the front, you go to the back to rest for a while, and chat with them too!"

After hearing this, Ding Erniang felt so clear in her heart. This girl has only let her guard down now. Two days ago, she even revealed that she wanted to let Amu look after the shop alone, but this girl refused in circles. I understand, this girl is afraid of losing money, so I can't tell in the future!
Ding Erniang raised her hand and thumped her shoulder, and said with a smile: "Okay, then you watch first, I'll replace you in a while!" Hey, having a daughter-in-law really saves a lot of worry!In the future, she may be able to go around and play horses.

As soon as they entered the backyard, they saw Xianggong and A Ling grabbing a plate of red date cake, and there was only one left on it.

"Father, you have already eaten three yuan, I only ate two yuan, and I have to save two yuan for mother, this one should be mine no matter what."

"Stinky boy, don't think I don't know. You have been stealing food at home in the morning. When you came here in the morning, there was still scum on your front teeth!"

Wu Ling hastily covered his mouth with his hand!Why didn't the lady remind him!
"Don't listen to your father, he's bombing you!" Ding Erniang watched the father and son snatch a piece of pastry with some amusement. In the past, she only thought that A Zhu was a foodie, and she was still wondering who inherited it. When they see food, their eyes light up. I dare to say that these two have never met someone who likes to eat, and they have not revealed their true nature!

Seeing the two staring at each other, Ding Erniang gave her husband a disdainful look: "You are too embarrassed to argue with Ah Ling, I'll just give you a piece!"

Ding Erye was despised by his wife because of what he ate, so he had to let go embarrassingly.Walking up to Ding Erniang, she said with a smile: "My lady, I put your pastry in the room, let's eat it!"

Ding Erniang rolled her eyes helplessly, she was really getting better and better.

Wu Ling looked at the master's back, picked up the jujube cake and stuffed it into his mouth, hum, he wants to fight with the beauty at home, and fight with the master in the shop, he has to go back and discuss it with his wife!
A Zhu came back in the afternoon of NO.14. As soon as he entered the door and greeted him, he ran into the bedroom and pulled the quilt. When he fell asleep, Ding Erniang saw that her son looked tired, so she didn't call him for dinner, and stayed for a while. A bowl of rice and a plate of beans and rice were warm on the stove. When Ah Zhu woke up, smelling the aroma of the rice, he felt empty in his stomach, so he ate a bowl of fragrant and soft rice with the soft beans and rice.When I was about to have a bowl, I found that the stove was empty.

Seeing her son frowning, Ding Erniang pouted and said with a smile: "There is no more rice, you must like this one more!" As she spoke, she brought out a plate of pastries like caramel. color, Azhu took a breath of fragrance, "Mother, did sister-in-law make it?"

"Heh! You kid has a good nose. Why don't you ask if I made it?" Ding Erniang teased while handing the plate to A Zhu.

"Niang's skill in making horses is nothing to say, but the skill of making cakes is still lacking a little bit!" A Zhu bit the red date cake, and covered it with a little thumbnail for Ding Erniang to see.

"Stop playing tricks on me, tell me, how did you do in the exam?" Ding Erniang couldn't help asking.

"Who am I! I'm your son, my mother is so smart, so I'm fine!" Ah Zhu replied carelessly.Seeing that Niang gave him a blank look, she immediately corrected herself and said, "I showed the paper to my husband, and he said that the first few people were not good enough to be on the list. He gave me a few days off, and when the list comes out, I will be on the list." Let me go back to the academy to prepare for the exam next April!"

"Why do you still have to take the exam? Didn't you say that you have to take the children's exam first, and then take the exam again?" Ding Erniang couldn't help but feel a little distressed when she thought that her son would go to the exam hall for three or four days. .This child has lost a lot of weight this time!

"Oh, mother, don't worry about it, everyone came here like this!" Azhu turned around and squeezed Erniang Ding's shoulders after eating.

"Go, go, get your little dirty hands away, you just took the pastry, now put it on me!" Ding Erniang said disgustedly.

Ah Zhu didn't care about it, and continued to pinch Ding Erniang's shoulders. Suddenly remembered something, hesitated, and said: "Mother, I met a student who claimed to be Wu Tan at the gate of the academy, and he said he was A Ling. Brother's younger brother, have you ever heard Brother A Ling mention that he has a younger brother? Besides, since he knows that Brother A Ling is in my house, why didn't his parents find him?"

Ding Erniang frowned, took Ah Zhu's hand, and said, "Your father knows about this! Don't tell Ah Ling first, so that he won't worry."

A Zhu felt relieved when she heard that her father knew about it.If Brother Ling's family knew that he was here but didn't come to pick him up, then the Wu family would definitely not welcome Brother A-Ling back. Brother A-Ling was heartbroken when he found out, so he nodded immediately and said, "Mother, I I grew up with brother A Ling since childhood, in my heart, he is my real brother, whoever cares about him, the Wu family, once brother A Ling is on the genealogy, it doesn't matter!"
