When Xiao Jinyu shouted, everyone heard it. The people who were building a house saw
"Hey! Second brother Xiao, second sister-in-law bought a donkey and a donkey cart!"
Donkeys have a huge attraction for any farmers, and some people even put down their work and took a few steps forward to welcome them!
When the donkey cart arrived, they immediately surrounded the donkey, touching and looking at it. It was very rare. Fortunately, the donkey had an honest temper and didn't kick anyone!
"Second aunt, you are back! I miss you so much!"
"Mom, I miss you too!"
Xiao Haitang and Xiao Jinyu went to Xie Yushu's side, one hugged Xie Yushu's waist, and the other hugged Xie Yushu's legs.
Xie Yushu hugged Xiao Haitang, then picked up Xiao Jinyu and asked casually
"Have you two had a good meal these days? Are you obedient?"
"Yes! I eat well every day!" Xiao Jinyu reported first.
"Jin Yu is so good!"
"I am obedient and help Aunt Liu cook every day!" Xiao Haitang was also busy reporting!
"Aunt Liu?"
"That's right, Ernie, it's only been two days since you left. Grandpa and grandma called the uncle and his mother away. It happened that Aunt Liu next door came back from famine. Seeing that no one was cooking at noon, she told Ernie to come and help. As for food, our family only needs to take care of Aunt Liu, Liu Ye, and Liu Ye’s two younger brothers!”
Xiao Haitang talked about the situation at home these days in a few words.
Xie Yushu just arrived home and didn't bother to ask in detail. Seeing so many people surrounding the donkey cart and it was difficult to unload, she took the plums. One person grabbed four or five plums for everyone to try. There were about ten people working on them. There are several children, and half of the plums in the basket are gone.
Everyone declined at first, but seeing that Xie Yushu was really giving it, they accepted it. Most of them tasted the remaining bag and wanted to give it to their children at home to sweeten it. After all, fruits are too scarce at this time!
After getting the things, they saw Xie Yushu and the others rushing back after a long journey. They must be tired. Everyone felt that they were delaying others' rest by watching the donkeys around the donkey cart, so they all gave way and went back to work.
Qu Xiaodie drove the donkey cart into the yard, and Xiao Yi followed her to the yard and moved the things on the cart into the house one by one.
Widow Liu, who was holding the plums, watched Xiao Yi move a dozen bags into the house one after another. There were also several large bamboo baskets in the car, which contained many seedlings of chickens, ducks and geese. She was extremely envious. , thinking about how much money I have in my hand, so I dare to buy such things!
Could this Xiao Yi be a fool? Just let the person named Xie be so defeated!
Thinking that Xiao Yi was able to not only spend ten taels of silver to marry Xie Yushu during these lean years, but also lend money to Xiao Yuanhang to study and let Xie Yushu buy a donkey and a car, and also buy so much food and clothing, I am sure He has hidden a lot of wealth, and it is easy to handle. Otherwise, Xie Yushu, a yellow-haired girl, would not be allowed to take charge of the family and run out again and again.
With such a rich family background, even if she becomes a concubine for Xiao Yi, she will still drink spicy food as she is popular!
In an instant, Widow Liu's mind was spinning a thousand times as she listened to Xiao Haitang and Xie Yushu's introduction.
"Second aunt, this is Aunt Liu!"
I just came back to my senses! Warmly greeting Xie Yushu
"This is the girl from the Xie family! You've been working hard all the way. Come in and have a rest. I'll be cooking right now! Let's eat together later!"
"Then I'll trouble Sister-in-law Liu!"
Xie Yushu responded and followed Qu Xiaodie into the house!
Xiao Yi hid the things that should be hidden and put away the things that should be put away, leaving only enough food for three to five days outside. He also moved Xie Yushu's heavy iron kang cabinet to Xie Yushu's house, leaning against the head of the kang. After setting it up, find a place to tie the donkey when you go out, and then continue to greet people to work!
Xiao Haitang and Xiao Jinyu hid in the house and ate some plums and peaches, as well as candy balls, and then ran out to watch the donkeys.
Xie Yushu and Qu Xiaodie fetched a basin of water, washed themselves briefly in the room, and then lay down on the kang to rest!
Qu Xiaodie was probably very tired, so she fell asleep on the kang.
Xie Yushu closed the account first, bought land, brought buyers, and bought so many things. She left another fifty taels there, and almost spent five hundred taels. Now she still has two hundred taels left in her hand. A gold ticket, a five hundred tael silver ticket, and more than five hundred taels of scattered silver!
He rolled up two gold notes and one silver note together with the land deed and hid them in a hairpin, stuck them in his hair, and stuffed the ginseng box, snake venom and snake gallbladder, and more than forty deeds of sale into the cabinet together with the cloth from before. After the door was locked, he was as confused as Qu Xiaodie for a while.
About an hour later, Xiao Haitang woke up Xie Yushu and Qu Xiaodie and said it was time for dinner.
When Xie Yushu and Qu Xiaodie went out, the men who were working had already gathered around the table and started eating. Widow Liu set up another table next to her and asked Xie Yushu and Qu Xiaodie to come over and eat.
Xiao Jinyu was held in Xiao Yi's arms and ate at the men's table, so at this table, there were only Xie Yushu, Qu Xiaodie, Xiao Haitang, Widow Liu and her three children.
Widow Liu has already served everyone's rice. It's still steamed glutinous rice sticks and braised wild vegetables. The steamed glutinous rice sticks are quite good, but the stew is a lot worse. Before Xie Yushu has brought the bowl, Widow Liu's three children have After slurping down a bowl, each of them went to grab another bowl and scooped out a few more spoonfuls of braised vegetables.
The three children had finished digging out the stew, and the vegetable basin was almost at the bottom. Xie Yushu and Qu Xiaodie were dumbfounded. Xiao Haitang might have seen it before, but he just rushed to eat it.
Widow Liu explained with a smile
"Several children are growing. Brother Xiao couldn't bear to see them hungry, so he told them to be polite and just eat their fill! The girls from the Xie family won't mind, right?"
Xie Yushu was disgusted by the aroma of the tea, but she was too embarrassed to say that she would not let the three children eat, so she could only say lightly, "I don't mind!"
Anyway, the tiles have been replaced on the roofs of the three main rooms and the two side rooms, and the beams have been installed on the east wing and the gatehouse. The only thing left is to lay the tiles on the roof. It should be completed in three days at most, and another three days at most. Even if they take three days, she won't be destitute! Then he endured it.
After hearing this, Widow Liu seemed to be relieved and started eating too.
As soon as they disturbed them, Xie Yushu and Qu Xiaodie lost their appetite. They each ate a small bowl of glutinous rice noodles with the first spoonful of braised pork and put down their chopsticks.
Widow Liu also ate three bowls without any courtesy. Each of her two sons ate a full four bowls. Even the stewed soup was completely wiped out. They were so full that they held their stomachs and dared not speak. Every time they spoke, they would vomit. When I came out, I put down my chopsticks!
Qu Xiaodie rolled her eyes and whispered to Xie Yushu.
"I've never seen someone so uneducated!"
After Widow Liu finished eating, she put down her chopsticks and went to the man's table to help serve the rice, leaving some food in her mouth.
"Everyone, you're welcome, but you have to eat well. After all this effort, if you don't eat well, it won't be mine!"
Qu Xiaodie clicked her tongue and said
"Good guy, give her what she can do! It sounds like her family is the best! She's as good as the mistress, and she has to break into the house!"
