Farmhouse Pastoral Notes

Chapter 41
When Yang Meijuan came back, Chunqiu was drying the goji berries she picked yesterday.Yesterday when Chunqiu came back, it was getting late, and Yuan Shi was also a little anxious, so the wolfberry didn't have time to dry.

"Qiu'er" is different from Yang Li's sharp voice, Yuan's voice is sweet, this is a very comfortable voice.When Chunqiu heard someone calling her, he quickly put down the wolfberry in his hand, stood up and looked back.

"Big aunt" Chunqiu's voice was clear and clear, and when he saw the face, he smiled even sweeter, revealing his neat and white teeth.He hurriedly ran to the aunt who was wearing a blue orchid dress.

"Hi Uncle, Hanhan, long time no see." Chunqiu looked at Gao Qing beside Yang Meijuan, bowed his head with a smile and saluted, then leaned down again, stroked the three-year-old little girl led by Yang Meijuan with his hands, and tilted his head to say hello.

"Well, I haven't seen you in a few months, Qiu'er has grown taller." Gao Qing looked at Chunqiu and smiled kindly.

"Qiu'er is five years old, of course she has grown taller." Chunqiu listened to his uncle and aunt praising her, his chest puffed out, his head was raised, his face was full of pride.It made Yang Meijuan and his wife in front of them laugh out loud.

"Hanhan, this is sister Qiu'er, come, talk to sister." Yang Meijuan knelt down, pointed to Chunqiu beside her, and motioned for little loli to call someone.

"Hello, third sister," little Lolita timidly called out, tilting her head, perhaps because she hadn't seen Chunqiu for a long time.Dressed in a pink dress, with a sweet voice, and cute movements, like a porcelain doll, Chunqiu's heart is intoxicated.

"Qiu'er, what are you doing in the yard? Is your mother at home? Where's grandma?" Yang Meijuan looked at her niece, who was having fun with her daughter, and asked gently.

"I'm drying some things from the mountains. Mother is embroidering purses in the house, and grandma is also staying in the house." After Chunqiu heard the words, he straightened up with his arms propped up, and pointed to Yang Li's face directly opposite. said the house.

Hearing Chunqiu's words, Yang Meijuan turned her head to look at Gao Qing next to her, and then said immediately, "Mother is in the room, I have something to talk to my mother about. Qiu'er, my aunt is going to find grandma first." Yang Meijuan thought that she would ask What I said, I think it's better to tell my mother earlier.

Chunqiu also knew that the aunt should be looking for grandma for something, and it would be inconvenient to discuss things with the child.Thinking of this, Chunqiu smiled and bent down to Gao Han and said, "Well, then Hanhan and the third sister are playing at the door, how about it?"

Little Loli might be a little unfamiliar with Chunqiu, but after hearing Chunqiu's words, she shyly hid behind Yang Meijuan.

"Hanhan" Yang Meijuan lowered her head and pulled out the daughter behind her, and then said softly to the little Lolita, "Go play with the third sister, okay? Be good, mother and father have something to do." After finishing speaking, she paused, and then In a negotiating tone, he said: "Mother will play with you later, okay?"

"Can't you take Hanhan with you? Hanhan misses grandma too." Little Lolita obviously didn't want to leave her mother, she tugged at Yang Meijuan's sleeve, acting like a baby seriously.

"No, Hanhan is the most sensible, isn't she?" Yang Meijuan pulled her sleeve out of Gao Han's hand and shook her head helplessly.

"Well, that's it,...that's alright" Little Lolita thought for a while, then reluctantly nodded and agreed.Chunqiu quickly stretched out his hand to grab Gao Han's little hand, and then blinked at Yang Meijuan.

Yang Meijuan looked at her well-behaved and sensible niece, smiled knowingly, nodded, and left with Gao Qing.

"Hanhan, let's go and see Hongguoguo, shall we?" Chunqiu took his cousin's little hand and looked around confusedly, but there was nothing for Hanhan to play with.Look at the skirt of the little cousin again, it looks like Chunqiu is wearing a top and pants, how can it come out with a hairpin, Chunqiu really can't figure it out, so she took the little cousin to dry the goji berries, and then let the little cousin do it. look aside.

"Hongguoguo? Can I eat it?" Gao Han is just three years old and innocent, his eyes are as bright as little black grapes, and he looks very cute.

"You can't eat it, uh, it's not right, you can eat it too" Chunqiu was asked to make trouble, goji berries are indeed edible, but you can't eat too much, but to see what the little cousin means, is it going to be eaten as a snack, or- - Forget it, "can't eat, can't eat" Chunqiu made up his mind, shook his head, she couldn't let her little cousin eat too much.

"Oh..." Gao Han didn't get a satisfactory answer, and he was a little unhappy, and he replied limply, with his mouth pursed, like a puppy that has just been weaned.

Seeing the disappointed look of the little cousin, Chunqiu immediately felt distressed again, she couldn't bear the child's expression the most.

Thinking of how many osmanthus cakes her mother bought for her a few days ago, she couldn't help but said to the unhappy little cousin: "Don't be sad, third sister will bring you some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, okay?" what?"

"Okay~" Gao Han immediately became happy when he heard that there was sweet-scented osmanthus cake to eat, clapped his little hands, and replied in a childish voice.It seemed that the non-existent hair on the top of the head was still curled up.

Chunqiu covered his face, and reluctantly took out the sweet-scented osmanthus cake that the second sister hadn't given before, successfully making little Lolita burst into laughter.

Sure enough, the little cousin happily ate it, so cute.

The two cousins ​​in this room love each other, while the mother and daughter in Yang Li's house on the other side are holding hands and looking at each other with tears in their eyes, speechless and choked.

The reason why Yang Meijuan came here today is that her family plans to leave Heishan Town for Linfang County. Yang Meijuan has a son and a daughter. The eldest son Gao Mingshuo is 10 years old this year and is as old as Yang Chunjun and Yang Chunming. This incident can be considered to be caused by him .

In order to have better opportunities to study and make the road to imperial examinations smoother in the future, Master Li recommended him to Zhang Juren in Linfang. Yang Meijuan and Gao Qing agreed, Master Li also had good intentions, so for the sake of their children, the two So the family decided to move to Linfang County.

Yang Meijuan can be counted as Yang Li's growing up with pain. No matter how hard and tired the family was when she was a child, she did not lose her. When she grew up, she even married the relatively well-to-do Gao family in the town.The first half of her life was considered smooth, but now when she went to Linfang County, the only thing Yang Meijuan could not bear to part with was her natal family, no, the two of them came back.

"Mother, my daughter misses you. The thought of being so far away from home makes my daughter feel a dull pain in her heart. Mother, what will my daughter think of you in the future?" Yang Meijuan cried and hugged Yang Li and did not let go.

"Good girl, mother can't bear to part with you. Usually your body is thin and weak, but when it gets colder, you will get sick. This time when you go to Linfang County, you must take good care of yourself. Look at you. It's only been a while, and your face has become thinner again." Yang Mrs. Li held Yang Meijuan's weeping face with pear blossoms and rain, and comforted her with some distress.

"Mom, how have I lost weight? Don't worry, he treats me well." Yang Meijuan wiped away her tears with a smile, and turned her head to look at Gao Qing who was sitting not far away.

"That's good, you can't cry, what can you do if you break your body from crying? This is also for the good of brother Shuo'er." Yang Li comforted her daughter softly.

"Mother~" Yang Meijuan felt a little embarrassed at once, how old she is, why mother still spoils her so much.

"Okay, my son-in-law is still watching." Mrs. Yang Li patted Yang Meijuan on the shoulder, gestured with her eyes, and Gao Qing hurried over to support Yang Meijuan.

"Okay, hurry up and let go, mother is watching." Yang Meijuan was a little embarrassed, lowered her head and patted the other party's arm and said.

"Mother asked me to come here, so don't cry, it's just right for me to feel uncomfortable before, if I break down crying now, Mother should scold me again," Gao Qing advised softly.

Yang Meijuan raised her head and took a mouthful of Gao Qing, "Release quickly, what does this look like.""

Seeing the happy appearance of the young couple, Yang Li was very happy.Looking for this family for my daughter before was also for her to enjoy a good life in the future. Seeing her son-in-law like this today, Yang Li is relieved. According to my son-in-law's temperament, it is estimated that even if he moves to Linfang Town, he will not bully his daughter. It couldn't be better.

"By the way, when are you going to Linfang County?" Yang Li asked.

"We made a total calculation, and the school will be closed after half a month, and then we plan to leave at the end of July, just in time for the school in September to keep up." Yang Meijuan told Yang Li's plan of the couple.

"Well, that's fine too. By the way, is the money enough? It's not a joke to go to Linfang. Not only do you need to buy a house, but you also need to manage it up and down. Do you have enough money? I don't have enough money here, don't worry. After Yang Li finished speaking, he was already planning how to go to Yuan to borrow it. After all, the original seller's house was 80 taels, and the two houses were divided equally.

"That's enough, mother, you don't need it." Yang Meijuan shook her head. Their family has saved a lot of money selling goods over the years, and this money can still be used.What's more, their Yang family is not rich. With so many children, she can't trouble her mother anymore.

"You child, why are you being polite to your mother? Is it really enough?" Looking at Yang Meijuan's face, Yang Li knew that she was afraid of causing trouble for her, and she felt a little unhappy at the moment.

"No, mother, listen to me." Yang Meijuan was so anxious that she had to signal Gao Qing beside her with her eyes. Fortunately, Gao Qing understood what Yang Meijuan meant, "Mother, Juan'er and I didn't mean that. The goods have indeed made a lot of money, and the house in Linfang has been bought a long time ago, just need to buy some daily necessities, mother, don't worry."

"Yes, mother, that's what I mean. You really don't need to take money from me anymore." Yang Meijuan nodded along.

"Really?" Mrs. Yang Li didn't look at Yang Meijuan, but just stared at Gao Qing who was beside her. After seeing Gao Qing nodding, she felt relieved, "That's fine, I'm afraid you are not enough."

"Mother, enough is enough. My daughter came back this time to give you money." Yang Meijuan said here, and then glanced at Gao Qing. In front of Mrs. Shi, her tone was firm: "Mother, don't say no, this is all a little thought from Gao Qing and me. After all, after we went to Linfang, it will be difficult to come back. My daughter can't be filial by your side and father. I'm already very disturbed, mother, if you don't accept this money, my daughter will really cry."

"Okay, don't cry, don't cry, is it okay for mother to accept it?" Mrs. Yang Li was afraid that her daughter would cry, so she had no choice but to accept the purse.

"Pfft... That's right." Yang Meijuan laughed.

"Okay, did you eat when you came? Let's go after eating at home." Yang Li's words were more like asking and answering.

"Hey, what a mother!" Yang Meijuan thought for a while, but she didn't say that she had just had dinner when she came here.

"Well, let's go out then." Yang Li went to the ground, stretched out her hand to pull Yang Meijuan and walked out...

"Oh, sister-in-law is going to Linfang?" Mrs. Gu was surprised while eating, thinking that she would also earn more money and let Brother Jun'er also go to Linfang.

Gu's words didn't make much sense at first, but Yang and Li were in a bad mood, so Gu also lay down and snatched.While serving Yang Meijuan some food, Mrs. Li said, "Juan'er, eat more" and secretly scolded Mrs. Gu for this sightless thing, so there is nothing to mention.

"Mother, enough is enough." Yang Meijuan replied with a smile, and then said to Gu's book, "Sister-in-law, go to Linfang when you have time."

"Hehe, it's a good relationship." Gu smiled indifferently, thinking that she would not go, because her brother Jun'er is promising.

Chunqiu on the side also took the opportunity to interject, looked up at Yang Meijuan on the side and asked, "Auntie, but what should you do if you leave the shop in the town?" Chunqiu also had a faint plan in his heart. My uncle runs a grocery store in the town, especially since the location of the store is relatively prosperous. Isn't this just for their family?Great location to sell food.

"The shop at home? Is it going to close?" Yang Meijuan lowered her head and replied without thinking.

"Good granddaughter, why are you asking this?" Yang Li was also a little curious, what good idea did her good granddaughter think of?She couldn't help thinking like this, it was because her good granddaughter was too smart.Look at how much money the Yang family has made in the past few months?This is all due to Spring and Autumn.Today's Chunqiu is a golden baby in the eyes of Yang Li.

"Grandma, I think if my uncle wants to rent out the shop, our family can rent it out. It's convenient to sell some snacks," Chunqiu said with a simple face.

"Well, Qiu'er thinks so?" Gao Qing looked at Chunqiu curiously, and touched his chin, "Mother, my store is really empty, if you use it, you can take it for free." Gao Qing On the sidelines, I appreciate Chunqiu's words, not to mention, the more I think about this proposal, the more likely it is.

"That's okay, I can't take it for nothing, I have to give money." Mrs. Yang and Li refused immediately, this can't be taken for nothing.

"Mother, you can use it, we don't need it either," Yang Meijuan also persuaded, the two sons of the Gao family, the in-laws and the eldest son live in Yushan County, and now the couple are going to Linfang County, and I don't know when I will be able to come back. The house in Heishan Town is still on the shelf, so why not use it for her natal family's business.

"No, it must not be used in vain." Yang Li said absolutely, which made Gu and Yuan on the side also stunned.

"Eldest sister, mother is also kind, so you don't need money?" Yuan said following Yang and Li's words.

"That's right, it can't be used in vain." Mrs. Gu also echoed, although she is greedy for money, she also understands the truth, no matter what this sister-in-law says, she is also an outsider, so what does the Yang family want from outsiders?And it's not good for Brother Jun'er's reputation.Gu's main concern was Brother Jun'er.

"Mother, it's fine, Gao Qing and I are not in Heishan Town anymore, what are you afraid of?" Yang Meijuan frowned and looked at Mrs. Yang and Li puzzled.

For a moment, the scene seemed a bit tense in Chunqiu's eyes.

"Okay, stop arguing, the money has to be paid, and we can calculate what other people rent. This is not negotiable." Yang Li finally said without accepting the rebuttal of her daughter and son-in-law.

"Mother..." Yang Meijuan wanted to say more, but Gao Qing stopped her. Gao Qing shook her head at Yang Meijuan.Of course, compared with renting others, it must be very little. Yang and Li understood her daughter's intentions, and nodded in agreement without saying anything.

Because the two of Yang Meijuan will leave at the end of July, and the matter of the shop will not be handed over to Mrs. Yang and Li until August at the earliest. After talking about this matter, the adults didn't pay much attention to it, but Chunqiu thought it was!I'm very happy, why, because whether it's the Liangpi in the future or the Malatang hot pot in winter, you need a stall.
