Chapter 149 Mai Xiang's Wish

After the Waking of Insects, Mrs. Zhang Jia sent ten strong laborers to Mai Xiang's house to dig tree holes. It took a full six days to transplant all the three hundred or so one-meter-high cherry saplings.

Mai Xiang did not expect that the old lady kept her promise so much, not only gave away people and saplings for nothing, but also gave away a lot of fertilizer, and sent a knowledgeable person to explain to Ye Dafu many things that should be paid attention to in daily life, and promised to be the first Someone will be sent to guide and wait for the first pruning.

Mai Xiang accepted such a big favor, and was a little worried, how should she repay the favor?
At this time, Mai Xiang had completely forgotten that most of Zhang Jia's family did this because they saw that Mai Xiang had saved Uladomin's life.

"Uncle Ba, why are there so many people coming to the Temple of the Reclining Buddha today?" Mai Xiang was worrying about how to repay the favor of Zhang Jia's family, when she raised her head and looked out the window, there was an endless stream of carriages on the side of the road.

"Today is Guanyin Bodhisattva's birthday, have you forgotten?" Bafu replied without raising his head while making plans.

Mai Xiang taught Bafu some common accounting words, and now she started teaching him abacus.The main reason is that she thinks that she is a woman after all. Since she has arrived in this era, she must abide by the rules of the game in this era. Xiang must cultivate a shopkeeper and accountant, and the eight blessings are the best candidates.

Of course, if Wu Fu is willing to give up his family's farm work and help Mai Xiang wholeheartedly, Wu Fu is the ideal candidate, but on the one hand, Wu Fu has to farm the land, on the other hand, he has to undertake the physical work of Mai Xiang, and on the other hand, he also needs to do manual work. He really didn't have time to learn to read and write and keep accounts.

"Ah, Guanyin Bodhisattva's birthday? Then I have to go to the Reclining Buddha Temple to worship Bodhisattva." Mai Xiang said.

She wants to pray to the Bodhisattva to bless her parents in the previous life and her family in this life to be healthy. To be honest, she cherishes this family more and more. In any case, she can come over hundreds of years and become a family. It is fate, and it is worth cherishing, not to mention, Ye Dafu really gave Mai Xiang an impeccable paternal love, and Mai Huang and the others also made Mai Xiang truly perceive what brotherhood is.

"Then go quickly, people are busy going up the mountain now, there should be guests in a while." Bafu said.

"Sure, I'll go with Fifth Aunt." Mai Xiang said.

Mrs. Li has been married for more than half a year and has never been pregnant. Mai Xiang knew that Mrs. Li was under a lot of pressure, because Mrs. Liu would use this topic to talk about things from time to time.

Mai Xiang also couldn't figure it out. In the past, she thought that Mrs. Liu was very reasonable and fair to these daughters-in-law, but ever since she knew that Mrs. Li's silver hairpin and bracelets were fake, Mrs. Liu suddenly seemed to be a different person. She was quite mean to Mrs. Li, and went back to the days when she gave her daughter-in-law a cornbread for each meal, but Mrs. Li had to do all the work of the family alone. Mai Xiang looked at Mrs. Li's thinner and thinner face, and felt very sympathetic to her. .

Mai Xiang explained a few words to Mai Huang and Ba Fu, and went to the old house with a piece of meat, just in time to meet Er Fu coming out with a load, and Mai Zhong followed behind with a hoe on his shoulder.

"Second Uncle, let's go out."

"The wheat is about to turn green, so we need to fertilize it," Er Fu said.

"Sister, my family also bought ten ducklings and goose seedlings. I will take Mai Qing to release the ducks in the future." Mai Zhong said.

Mai Zhong knew that Mai Huang had been working behind Mai Xiang, and that the job of raising ducks would definitely fall to Mai Qing, who was still young, so he volunteered to take Mai Qing with him.

"Okay, from now on, Mai Qing will rely on you to protect her, don't let those boys in the village bully her." Mai Xiang smiled, never expecting this wheat seed to be so sensible.

Ye Dafu's first batch of eggs has hatched, although the success rate is only 60%, but it is enough to make Ye Dafu excited, he started the second batch of eggs hatching, so it will definitely be more difficult to release ducks and geese in the future. There is a dedicated person.

"Hey, it's Mai Xiang coming?" Qian Shi heard the movement and came out of the house, staring at the meat in Mai Xiang's hand.

"Is Mammy at home?" Mai Xiang asked.

"Here. Mai Xiang, the second aunt is thinking these days. You asked your eighth uncle to help you. Your eighth uncle can't do it alone. Why don't you take your brother with you. Mai Zhong is also nine years old this year. It would be nice to run after you." Qian asked with a smile.

"Mom, I said I won't go, I want to learn farming from my father." Mai Zhong heard it from outside and shouted.

"You son of a bitch, what's the point of learning to farm? What can we grow? Your father has been planting for a year, what can we eat? What does your elder sister's family eat?" Qian said bitterly, blaming his son do not cooperate.

"What do you know, dad said, our lives will definitely be better this year than last year." After Mai Zhong finished speaking, he walked away angrily with a hoe on his shoulder.

"Second Aunt, I think the wheat seeds are very good and ambitious, just wait, the future will definitely get better and better." Mai Xiang smiled.

"Mai Xiang, are you here to find me?" Mrs. Liu had heard Mai Xiang talking in the room a long time ago, and the reason why she spoke now was to see what Mai Xiang meant.

Because, she is also willing to help Maizhong in Maixiang's shop, so that the life of the second child's family will be easier, but she did not expect that Maizhong is not willing to say anything before Maixiang.

"Mommy, today is the birthday of Guanyin Bodhisattva. I want my fifth aunt to accompany me to the Temple of the Reclining Buddha to worship Bodhisattva." Mai Xiang said while passing the meat over.

"Let your old aunt go with you, your old aunt is also going there." Liu frowned when Mai Xiang mentioned Li.

"Mommy, I heard that Guanyin Bodhisattva will be merciful today. They said that today's wish will come true."

"This?" Liu quickly remembered that her daughter-in-law's stomach hadn't moved yet.

"Sure, then let her and Jiufeng accompany you, go back early, there is still a lot of work waiting for her at home."

Jiufeng heard it in the house, and hurriedly shouted: "Mai Xiang, come out after I change my clothes."

"Where's my fifth aunt?" Mai Xiang didn't see Mrs. Li in the yard.

"Going to the vegetable field, this vegetable field must be cleaned up to grow vegetables?"

Mai Xiang sighed, this Li Shi didn't marry in as a daughter-in-law, she just married in as a cow and horse, and now she is the only daughter-in-law in the family, it is impossible to separate the family, when will this day be the end?

"Nurse, I have one more thing to discuss with you. There are more and more things in my store, but no one lives there. I'm afraid that after a long time, someone will find out about the store. Originally, I want my eighth uncle to live there, but my eighth uncle is still young, so I can't handle it. Mom, why don't you let my fifth uncle and my fifth aunt live here, since the fifth aunt can come to work after getting up during the day, and have dinner After cleaning up, we can go there if there is nothing else to do, Mammy, do you think it's okay?"

Mai Xiang also had a temporary idea. The Li family has been enslaved by the Liu family for many years, so she must be very nervous and depressed. Is it strange that she can conceive a child?

"This?" Mrs. Liu hesitated, she was still waiting to call her at any time.

At this time Mrs. Sun came over, she was very happy to hear this, and said: "Big girl, why don't you and your third uncle look after you? It just so happens that your third uncle also has a donkey cart, so you can use the cart to buy vegetables or something." It’s also convenient. We don’t need to start a business anymore, we just clean up any leftovers.”

These days, Mai Xiang will occasionally send some leftovers here that the guests haven't touched much, and most of them are meat dishes, which is why Mrs. Sun said so.

What's more, I just looked at one house, the house over there was much bigger than this one, and it was still made of blue bricks, so the Sun family saw that Mrs. Liu was unwilling, so they hurriedly agreed.

Sure enough, as soon as Mrs. Sun finished speaking, Mrs. Qian also spoke up and said, "It's better for our family to go. The third sibling is about to give birth, so it's inconvenient."

"Okay, don't argue with either of your two families, let the Wufu couple go, they don't have children to drag them down, and they can still help Mai Xiang with some work, what can you do when you go?" It's a headache when the two fight.

She already knew from Wufu Bafu that Mai Xiang did not treat them badly. The two of them have earned a lot of money these days. Bafu said that he will earn money for his marriage in the future, so he doesn't have to worry about it at home.And Wufu also said that when he has saved enough money in the future, he will also build a big house to take over Liu Shi and Ye Tiezhu.

As soon as Mai Xiang settled down, she saw that Jiufeng had also changed into fresh clothes, turned around and left.

The three of Mai Xiang arrived at the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, went to the Guanyin Hall to pay homage to the Bodhisattva and offered incense, and Mai Xiang took the two of them to the Wishing Pool.

Just as Mai Xiang threw a copper coin into the wishing pool and was about to make a wish, Nurse Guan came supporting Uladomin, accompanied by Yong En and several maidservants.

"Fujin, Lord Belle, why are you here today?" Mai Xiang rushed to Uladomin's side.

Uladomin stretched out his hand to tidy up Mai Xiang's hair and clothes, and said, "Besides, I didn't know to come to my sister when something happened, and I didn't know to come to see me after I came here. Fortunately, I still miss you so much."

"Sister, don't I want to cause trouble for you? My sister is here to fulfill your wish today, right? Have you worshiped the Bodhisattva?" Mai Xiang took Uradomin's hand and acted like a baby, because Uradomin really made Mai Xiang feel Arrived a family.

Uladomin stretched out his fingers and poked Mai Xiang's eyebrows, and said, "You, it's this mouth that works well."

"Hee hee, it's because my sister loves me."

Seeing Mai Xiang's young daughter at the side, Yong En shook his head and said, "Mai Xiang, why don't you just be our goddaughter."

"I can't do that. I'm afraid I'm calling my sister old. My sister is so young and beautiful. Wouldn't it be old to call her a godmother?"

"Miss Maixiang's mouth really hurts to death." Guan Nanny smiled from the side.

"Okay, don't let outsiders hear the joke." Uladomin blushed a little when he had never seen someone as daring as Mai Xiang.

"Fu Jin, let's ask Miss Mai Xiang to make a wish." Sister Guan talked about the business from the side.

"Ah, I forgot if I didn't tell you, Madam Guan. I just threw a copper plate into the Bodhisattva's hand, and I haven't made a wish yet."

After Mai Xiang finished speaking, she turned around and faced the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva, clasped her hands together, and said brokenly in her mouth: "May the merciful and compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva bless all the people I like and those who like me to be healthy and peaceful." It's safe and sound."
