This is Mrs. Zhou’s first time dealing with farmers face to face.
Mrs. Bai has a cheerful temperament, and Mrs. Zhen is generous. With such a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, no wonder they can cultivate such a good family tradition.
Sure enough, people cannot be defined casually.
If it hadn't been for this experience, she might never have had the chance to sit at a farmhouse and drink tea and talk.
Mrs. Zhou and Zhen's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted for a while.
Understand everything about Lao Bai's family.
I can't help but admire him.
A farmer's family gave birth to a scholar and a boy.
The Zhou family is a great Confucian family, and Mrs. Zhou knows best how much effort it takes to cultivate a scholar from a poor family.
What's even more rare is that this family treats their little daughter like a pearl. Generally, small families treat girls as losers, living less than a blade of grass.
And the youngest daughter of this family, from the way she dresses to her elegant demeanor, it's clear that she put her best efforts into it.
I vaguely felt that this family had signs of prosperity.
"Nanny Li, Dongqing." Mrs. Zhou winked at Nanny Li and Dongqing.
Nanny Li and Dongqing understood Mrs. Zhou's intention and quietly walked out. When they came back, they held a stack of silk and satin in their arms.
"... Heng'er has been bothering me these two days. Aunt Bai, Sister-in-law Bai, thank you for taking care of Heng'er. These materials... don't dislike it, you must accept it."
Mrs. Zhou took the ingredients from Grandma Li and said with an apologetic smile.
Mrs. Bai waved her hands and said: "It's just a pair of chopsticks. We don't have any good things from the farm, so we have to wrong Heng'er. Xiao Yuanbao has already accepted the thank you gift just now, but we can't accept any more."
Mrs. Zhen nodded in agreement and said, "You don't have to take it to heart."
Before Mrs. Zhou came, she thought that a small farmer would be overjoyed to see these materials.
After all, these materials are all from Sichuan, and each one costs more than ten taels of silver.
It is not an insult to their kindness to Feng Zhiheng.
When I really got to know Lao Bai's family, I felt that I had underestimated them, and I couldn't help but feel ashamed.
"Ms. Bai, you are offending me when you say this. That bracelet is the meeting gift I should give to Xiao Yuanbao. These satins are not worth anything... You must accept them, otherwise my old lady will feel uneasy. "
Mrs. Zhou smiled and said, "Sister, to make me feel better, please accept it."
Mrs. Zhou introduced each piece one by one: "This crimson brocade is suitable for Sister Bai. This satin is cool and does not sweat, and is most suitable for summer wear. This autumn-colored Yuehua Brocade is suitable for Sister Bai, who is the most modestly dressed. . This piece of rain silk cotton is specially given to Xiao Yuanbao. It is warm in winter and cool in summer, and is most suitable for children..."
Every time Mrs. Zhou introduced a horse, Eugene Gui's eyes lit up.
This brocade was so beautiful that she had only seen people from the house opposite wear it.
There was so much satin, even if it wasn't mentioned to her, she could still shamelessly grab one.
She took a fancy to the lake-green one with intertwined patterns and embroidered magpies climbing branches.
Festive and bright.
If you use this satin to make a skirt and wear it.
That is the style of a talented lady.
Mrs. Zhen looked sideways and saw Eugene Gui's eyes shining, and was angry that she was too short-sighted to be on the stage.
Mrs. Zhen couldn't help but glance at Yu Jingui. You Jingui immediately withdrew the light in his eyes, but still stared at Mrs. Zhou's hand eagerly.
"These three are for the boys... these two are for the wife at home..."
"Thank you... thank you... ma'am."
When Eugene Gui heard about her, he was overjoyed and spoke excitedly, his eyes sparkling.
Among the two horses, there happens to be the lake green one that she likes. When she comes back, she has to choose first, and she can't let Xie Chuntao seize the opportunity.
There are also ones for the boys.
The eldest son has two sons. This is unfair to Sanlang. She has to fight for Sanlang to have two new clothes.
Eugene Gui was thinking about it in his heart, with a happy face.
Xiao Fuyuan leaned against the old lady Bai and looked at the second sister-in-law. She thought to herself, second sister-in-law, are you Ultraman?
Why are your eyes always glowing?
Old Mrs. Bai and Zhen's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took the satin and thanked them.
Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou sat for a while before rushing back.
"The sun has set. Don't dislike it, old lady. Just rest here for the night before leaving." Old Mrs. Bai persuaded Mrs. Zhou to stay.
Mrs. Zhou said with a smile: "It's not that I dislike it. The air in the countryside is good, the fresh vegetables are good, and the yard is big. I'd like to live there. But Heng'er's grandfather learned that Heng'er was abducted and fell ill. I have to take her with her." Heng'er goes back quickly so that her grandfather can feel at ease."
Mrs. Zhou said this, but it was difficult to retain Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Zhen.
"Then we won't force you to stay." Mrs. Zhen said with a smile, "My family is not as good as Huaicheng. We only have a simple diet. Please forgive me for neglecting Heng'er in the past two days."
Feng Zhiheng was enjoying playing in the countryside. When he heard that he was going back, he felt reluctant to leave and his eyes became red on the spot.
She was led into the back room by Aunt Li, where she put on a new dress, washed her face and pulled up her hair again.
When she came out, she had a standard image of everyone’s daughter.
Feng Zhiheng was supported by Nanny Li and Dongqing. He felt that he could no longer walk after only two days.
When I think about arriving at my grandfather's house and having to learn the rules every day, I almost feel like crying.
She now sincerely envied little Fuyuan. She didn't have to learn the rules or engage in useless social interactions. She was pampered by her family and could do whatever she wanted.
"Sister, come to Huaicheng to play with me next time." Feng Zhiheng's eyes were red.
"Okay, okay, wait until I go to Huaicheng to play with you." Xiao Fuyuan said sweetly.
She hasn't been to Huaicheng yet and really wants to see the world.
Zhen's heart thumped, and she changed the subject and said, "Miss Feng will come again next time."
Feng Zhiheng sobbed in his heart, probably there would be no next time.
Mrs. Zhou took Xiao Fuyuan's hand and said to Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Zhen: "My house has a big yard. Although it is not as beautiful as the countryside, there are flowers and grass. When the lotus flowers bloom in a few days, I will send someone to pick them up." Xiao Yuanbao is admiring the flowers. Sister, please take your daughter-in-law, grandson-in-law, and the boys with you."
Old Mrs. Bai thanked her and said calmly: "The countryside is busy, and the fields are inseparable from people every day. Little Yuanbao has never traveled far, I will show her home when she is older."
Mrs. Zhou was slightly surprised, she declined.
I just feel pity in my heart.
Madam Zhou was walking through the yard and accidentally saw a half-grown boy sitting in a wheelchair in front of the stove in the kitchen, reading a book by the fire in the stove.
"Wait a minute." Feng Zhiheng suddenly ran to the upper room, and when he came out, he was holding the coarse clothes he had changed into.
She walked into the kitchen, put her clothes on Erlang's lap, and said, "Erlang, return your clothes. I'm leaving. I'll ask someone to bring you a book when I get back."
After saying that, before Erlang could react, he ran to Mrs. Zhou and said, "Grandma, let's go."
Mrs. Zhou secretly sighed, this family is really amazing, such a young child is still allowed to study in a wheelchair. .
Xie Chuntao came out of the vegetable field and stuffed a bunch of fresh vegetables into the Zhou family's carriage according to Zhen's instructions.
Originally, she thought it was a bit hard to give gifts that could be seen everywhere, but Ms. Zhen said that wealthy families loved to eat these fresh fruits and vegetables.
Feng Zhiheng got on the carriage and reluctantly said goodbye to Xiao Fuyuan: "Sister, I'm leaving, I'm really leaving... wu wu... I don't want to leave."
Xiao Fuyuan comforted her and said, "Sister, we will meet again."
