Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 48 Seeing
Seeing Mrs. Cui lighting a fire on the stove, Du Xiaoyu went over and asked, "Auntie, I think your dog is a female. When the time comes, give birth to a puppy and sell one to our family."

"What are you selling? It's not worth much." Cui replied as expected, "I'll take it when I'm born."

Du Xiaoyu hurriedly said, "You can't do it for nothing, my mother said, you can't accept favors for nothing."

"Oh, where do our two families come from to be kind or not? Besides, I don't give away this dog to others, and I never sell it for money." Cui Shi said, "I will give it to anyone who wants it, and it is not a good dog. It was picked up by his father on the road once, and his legs were broken, and his father was also kind enough to tie them up. After he recovered, he stayed at my house."

It turned out that there was still this story, but Du Xiaoyu still insisted, "If you give it to me, I don't want it."

Cui said a little displeased, "Why is this kid so stubborn, or I'll tell your mother about it."

"Mother will scold me, she must say that I came to your house to ask for this and that." Du Xiaoyu said, "Auntie, sell me one when the time comes."

"Okay, okay, I'll leave one for you." Cui didn't bother to talk to her.

Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Du Xiaoyu left, and when he found the white lotus room, he found that Du Huanghua was not there, so he asked, "Where is my sister, didn't she say that she is teaching you how to embroider?"

Bai Lianhua smiled, "I'll be back in a while."

Why don't you just answer that you're going to turn a corner? It's not in line with her temperament. Du Xiaoyu was a little skeptical, "What the hell are you doing? Tell me quickly."

"Go out and get something." Bai Lianhua lowered her head and played with the embroidery needle.

Still unable to speak clearly, Du Xiaoyu felt more and more weird seeing her like this, and asked, "What are you taking, and where can you get them?"

White Lotus didn't speak.

Du Xiaoyu was in a hurry, went up and grabbed her arm, and shouted, "Where did my sister go? Do you want to tell me?"

At this moment, Du Huanghua's voice sounded behind him, "What are you doing, little fish?"

"Sister?" Du Xiaoyu looked back and saw that Du Huanghua was standing at the door. She couldn't help being surprised. Could it be that she was worried wrong?Does the white lotus have any purpose at all?She hurriedly asked, "Sister, what did you do?"

"The lotus fell off the kang just now and twisted my hand. I'm going to find the potion." Du Huanghua said while taking out a bottle of potion, poured it carefully on the soft cloth, and then opened the sleeve of the white lotus.

Du Xiaoyu watched from the side, thinking, it's really weird, why didn't Bai Lianhua call her mother when she fell and hurt her?Does Du Huanghua have to go find the potion?This damn girl must have some intentions!She turned her head and stared at Bai Lianhua again, but she still looked innocent. When Du Huanghua applied the potion to her, she was so painful that she was about to cry, it really didn't look like she was pretending.

But the time had passed, and it was inconvenient to ask in detail at this time, so Du Xiaoyu had no choice but to suppress his full of questions for the time being, and never left the room after that.

And Du Huanghua has been teaching Bailianhua to embroider seriously from beginning to end, but there is a younger sister who pays attention to her by her side, and any abnormality can't escape her eyes. For example, Du Huanghua poked her fingers in several places!
This is almost impossible to happen in normal times. It seems that this dinner is definitely not to be eaten. Du Xiaoyu found an excuse and dragged Du Huanghua home.

On the way, she couldn't hold back and asked, "Sister, what kind of potion did you find for lotus wrestling just now? Don't you call her mother?"

Du Huanghua said, "She said she was afraid that her mother would be worried, and that she would be scolded if she found out, so I helped her find it."

It’s not that you broke your leg, normal people would take someone to get it by themselves, why would you let guests rummage around in your own home?It's not that there are ghosts!Du Xiaoyu took a breath, and said slowly, "Sister, did you go to the second room on the east side? It's the room of Bai Lianhua and her brother Bai Yushi?"

Du Huanghua was stunned, her eyes flickered and said, "You, how do you know?"

Sure enough, this damn girl, Du Xiaoyu was grinding her teeth, patronizing Fang Cui and thinking that Bai Lianhua was so stupid, she tricked Du Huanghua to Bai Yushi's place unexpectedly, she stared at Du Huanghua, "Sister, Na Bai Yushi heard that he was ill, and rumors spread in the village that he would not live long, and it would be useless to call any doctor."

How could Du Huanghua not know, and sighed, "He is also a poor man."

Poor is pitiful, but you can't drag others down, Du Xiaoyu frowned, although now he knows that Du Huanghua is seeing Bai Yushi, but it's not good to ask any more, could it be that she has taken a fancy to others?This is unlikely, she is also a rational person, maybe she is really worrying too much, so what if she sees it?If something happens to men and women as soon as they see it, then the whole thing can't go out.

Well, it must be fine, Du Xiaoyu didn't mention it again, just avoid going to Bai's house in the future, what kind of idea does this family have, is it because they want to have a kiss or not?
In a few days, the Qin family has good news. It is said that there is a farmhand surnamed Zhong. It's very good, and they happen to have some friendship with their natal family.

Du Xiaoyu went to negotiate with her mother as soon as she had a bargaining chip. Mrs. Zhao was obviously surprised when she heard that her youngest daughter said she was looking for a farm laborer. Her first reaction was no.

This was expected. After all, my family was poor before, not to mention hiring people to farm the land, and I couldn't feed myself. Of course, I wouldn't have such an idea.Du Xiaoyu said that farm labor is very cheap, and she usually helps out. In the end, Du Huanghua was brought in to tell how she wanted to learn Su embroidery, and she counted the hardships of raising the burden of the family for several years, making Zhao's heart ache. , as if how sorry I was for my eldest daughter.

"Mother, didn't I earn two or two taels of silver selling peanut butter that day, can I use it to hire farmers? Let my sister learn it! Mother, please!" Finally, she resorted to her trump card and acted like a baby.

Mrs. Zhao couldn't hold back, so she agreed, and Du Xiaoyu talked about signing the contract.

"What, you still have to sign a contract, how many years?" Zhao's tone immediately became wrong again.

"Three..." Du Xiaoyu finally said after a battle between heaven and man, "Sign for a year, mother, eldest sister is so smart, maybe you can learn it in half a year, right? You can rest assured." Just cheat for Du Huanghua's deceit People, when the time comes, the raw rice is cooked and the rice is cooked. If you don't sign it, you can sign it. At worst, Mrs. Zhao will be scolded, she can bear it.

Mrs. Zhao was so worn down by her that she didn't have much patience to discuss this matter again, and finally nodded in agreement.

It was only then that Du Xiaoyu happily talked to Du Huanghua about Su embroidery. In fact, how did she know that Du Huanghua knew about it early in the morning, and now she had to cooperate with a surprised expression, and it was really hard for the honest Du Huanghua.

"Sister, get ready. Zhang Zhuoyu will come to pick us up after the Lantern Festival." She said excitedly, never thinking about the possibility of being rejected, because she believed in Du Huanghua's skills.

"Okay." Du Huanghua rubbed her hair. This younger sister was really tired of worrying about the family all day long. This time, she thought of some way to get her mother to agree.She also secretly made up her mind that she must not disappoint her sister's wishes!

Du Xiaoyu solved a problem on her mind, not to mention how happy she was, went to Du Wenyuan's room and shared it with him. Speaking of which, in fact, this second brother is the closest to her, at least she can discuss everything with him, usually He will get support, unlike Du Huanghua who has always looked forward and backward, and his temperament is really different from hers.

"That's good, I hope my eldest sister can succeed in her apprenticeship." Du Wenyuan was also very happy.

Du Xiaoyu sighed at this moment, "I saw that Mrs. Wan was very busy that day, and she had to embroider clothes for the magistrate's wife during the New Year's Eve."

"The county magistrate is the biggest official in the county, who doesn't want to flatter you? Doesn't Master Wan send things every year?" Du Wenyuan didn't notice anything.

"So, second brother, you have to work hard, our family depends on you to be popular and spicy!" Du Xiaoyu really has plans to embrace his thighs. If Du Wenyuan can become a high-ranking official, he will naturally benefit a lot as a family member. The world is like this, whether it is now or in the future, it is an eternal truth.However, the road to officialdom is unpredictable, and sometimes she just climbed into the blue sky, and she may fall off the next moment, she was a little worried when she thought about it.

Seeing her changing expression, Du Wenyuan didn't know what she was thinking.

"Second brother, do you want to be an official yourself?" If he doesn't, maybe they shouldn't put pressure on him, Du Xiaoyu is very open-minded.

Du Wenyuan smiled and said, "Who knows what is too far away, let's talk about it after being admitted to a scholar."

"If you don't want to be an official, you don't need to take the imperial examination!" Du Xiaoyu said, you can't learn much knowledge from stereotyped essays, and you can read other books if you want to supplement knowledge, so why torture yourself.

"You can try to tell your mother about this." Du Wenyuan chuckled lightly.

Du Xiaoyu quickly stuck out her tongue, this is not seeking death!She turned over, lay on the kang, and began to read the agricultural book. This book was carried with her, and she took it out to read it when she had time. In fact, it is best to read it with him, so it is convenient to ask if she doesn't understand.But on weekdays, Mrs. Zhao doesn't allow her to disturb her, and now it's relatively relaxed during the Chinese New Year.

Seeing that she had stopped talking, Du Wenyuan lowered his head to read his book as he was engrossed in it.

On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, Aunt Wu finally came back from the county. She was so happy when she talked about her daughter-in-law. Talking about that, not to mention Zhao's, two good sisters don't see each other every day, not to mention how good it is when they get together.

Aunt Wu was very concerned about their family's situation. When she heard Lao Li's breaking the contract, she punched her fist and scolded him severely, but when she knew that she was playing with the Zhang family, she laughed so hard that she burst into tears.

Mrs. Zhao has always kept her heart-to-heart with her, and in the end it was inevitable that she would have to mention the matter of buying land. No matter how much money Mrs. Qiu has, she cannot always be fooled, and since the spring is about to sow seeds, it is imperative to buy a farmland. Mrs. Wu has a wide range of people. , just say that she will come to discuss this matter, and just find someone who is not afraid of the village chief and is not greedy for money.

Du Xiaoyu thought from the side, it doesn't seem easy...
