You Qingya sat alone by the river at the entrance of the village and cried.
Although she had known for a long time that Bai Sanzhuang and her were impossible, she was still very upset when she heard the news that Bai Sanzhuang and Tian Maimiao were getting married.
When she was a child, she often followed Bai Sanzhuang around, climbed mountains and down rivers with him, and lay side by side on bamboo mats in the summer evenings to watch the stars.
Those happy times disappeared as the fourth sister married into the Bai family.
For a long time, she felt ashamed to see Bai Sanzhuang.
Now her third sister has told her about her husband's family, and she doesn't want to get married at all.
She envied Tian Maimiao, not that she could marry Bai Sanzhuang, but that she could kill pigs and sell meat freely to build a family.
If she could get out of Shenshu Village, she would also want to start her own business.
However, it is still difficult for her.
As long as her parents are here, it's not her turn to make the decision.
"Hey, You Qingya, what are you doing sitting here?" Wu Xiaoying walked from the river beach carrying a bundle of reeds and asked when she saw You Qingya sitting by the river.
"I'm chasing ducks." You Qingya sniffed and pointed at the ducks in the river.
She had just cried, her eyes were red, and she looked even more fragile, which Wu Xiaoyinggui couldn't adapt to.
"Have you cried?" Wu Xiaoying asked in confusion. Who dared to make You Qingya cry? She couldn't slap anyone to death.
You Qingya wiped her eyes and said angrily: "I want you to take care of it."
"It's okay. You're still so fierce. It doesn't seem like it's a big deal." Wu Xiaoying put Reed on his shoulders and weighed it.
You Qingya chuckled.
"Why are you cutting reeds?" You Qingya asked in confusion.
"Uncle He said he would make a mat for my young master." Wu Xiaoying said.
"At first glance, it seems that you are not the type to work. You can't cut the reeds. They are too thin. You have to cut smooth and strong ones." You Qingya stood up, took out the sickle from Wu Xiaoying's waist, and walked down the river beach, "You... If you carry the reeds home, you will definitely get scolded, so I will help you cut them."
As You Qingya spoke, she waving a sickle and got into the reed marsh, chopping the reeds as if to vent her anger.
He cut a few thick reeds, held them up and said to Wu Xiaoying: "You can only look at this."
Facing the setting sun, his smiling face was full of heroism, and the broken hair on his forehead was swaying in the wind.
Wu Xiaoying looked a little stunned.
The girls he met in the capital were all effeminate ladies, and he didn't like them.
"Hey, You Qingya, help me chop the reeds, and I'll help you catch the ducks later."
…
Xie Xiaolian drove the carriage slowly into Shenshu Village.
Xiao Fuyuan and his family were sitting in the carriage. Because the carriage was so comfortable and stable, Xiao Fuyuan fell asleep deeply in Zhen's arms.
"My little aunt is back, my little aunt is back..."
"Little Yuanbao is back, Xiaoyuanbao is back..."
When Dalang saw the Azhen family's carriage, he ran and screamed excitedly, and the children playing with him also booed.
Xiao Fuyuan woke up, rubbed his eyes, and was carried out of the carriage by Bai Dazhuang.
Mrs. Zhen and Xie Chuntao's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got off the carriage one by one.
"Big strong lady, I heard that you went to the county?" The village chief's wife said with an inquiring expression, "I heard that you went to the county to buy a house?"
"Yes."
Zhen didn't intend to hide it. The village chief's wife already knew about it, so she couldn't hide it, so she simply admitted it.
As soon as these words came out, the crowd was in an uproar.
"Tsk, tsk, you can go to the county to buy a house."
"What a big deal. The old Bai family has made a fortune."
"Alas, we can't even afford a house in Nanguan Town, let alone in the county."
Everyone commented with envy.
Once upon a time, Lao Bai's family was the poorest in the village. Unexpectedly, in just a few years, they would be able to buy a house in Yangfeng.
Everyone's eyes fell on little Fuyuan, and they only regretted that their family did not have a daughter who could bring blessings.
"Are you going to move to Yangfeng County in the future?" someone asked.
"We will still be in the village from now on." Bai Banban said with a smile on his face, rubbing Xiao Fuyuan's head, "This house was bought for my daughter."
The crowd roared again.
"Your family really dotes on their daughter!"
"Now I'm going to give my daughter all my family savings."
"But it's right. Ever since Xiao Yuanbao was born, the life of Lao Bai's family has been prosperous."
It has to be said that since the old Bai family had a daughter, they have always done things that attract attention.
She really dotes on her daughter. Not to mention Shenshu Village, even in the entire Nanguan Town, there is no one who dotes on her daughter like that.
Although everyone knew that the daughter was worth more than the son in Lao Bai's family, they were still greatly stimulated by the news.
The Bai family entered the courtyard with everyone's envious or jealous eyes.
Old Mrs. Bai was feeding the chickens. When she saw them coming back, she put down the water ladle. She didn't see little Fuyuan, so she asked first, "Where is my granddaughter?"
"Here it is, grandma." Xiao Fuyuan walked out from behind the white wooden board.
Mrs. Bai smiled broadly.
"Did you buy the house?" Old Mrs. Bai asked.
"Mom, I bought it. It's a big house with three courtyards. Lucky for us, someone was in a hurry to sell it and sold it to us at a discount of 150 taels of silver." Bai Ban handed the title deed to Mrs. Bai.
Old Mrs. Bai took the land deed, looked at it for a few times, handed it to Zhen, and said, "Take it as a mother. From now on, this will be Xiao Yuanbao's dowry."
"Milk, I bought this for you." Xiao Fuyuan took out a bracelet and a wooden hairpin.
"It's another waste of money. I won't wear it."
Although Mrs. Bai said this, when Xiao Fuyuan put the bracelet on her wrist, she still raised her arms happily and smiled.
Xie Chuntao went into the house and changed her clothes, took the bowl of noodles from Eugene Gui, and started working on dinner.
"younger sister!"
"Little aunt!"
Bai Zhaomei, uncle and nephew came around and looked at little Fuyuan eagerly.
Xiao Fuyuan smiled and waved to them, pointing to the package Zhen placed on the table. There were big meat buns, roast chicken, elbows, osmanthus cake, crystal cake...
Bai Zhaomei's uncle and nephew were holding the steamed buns in one hand and the crystal cakes in the other, biting them until their mouths were full of oil.
"Look at your sister, how kind my little aunt is to you. She will think of you first if there is anything delicious or fun. Now that our family has bought a house for your little aunt, you must not take it too seriously. If you do, it will be That's ungrateful." Old Mrs. Bai would not hesitate to seize any opportunity to educate Bai Zhaomei's uncle and nephew.
"If you don't eat your heart, all the good things in the house belong to my sister." Bai Zhaomei said.
"It all belongs to my aunt. From now on, the money I earn will also be given to my aunt." Dalang Sanlang was the first to express his position.
"Eat less crystal cake and leave some for A Zhen. You can send the little round treasure to him later." Zhen said with a smile.
Xie Xiaolian said on the way that he had forgotten to buy the crystal cake that A Zhen wanted to eat. Zhen thought about it and bought two packs for the children and gave one to A Zhen.
Xiao Fuyuan was stuffed with a bag of crystal cakes by Mrs. Zhen and stood at the door of Azhen's courtyard with a sad face.
Go in?
No, A Zhen got angry at me for no reason.
Not going in?
No, everyone is riding in someone else’s carriage.
When he was hesitating, the door creaked open. He Shun saw Xiao Fuyuan standing at the door holding a bag of crystal cakes. His face lit up with joy and he said with a smile: "Xiao Yuanbao, why don't you come in."
"This is the crystal cake...Uncle He, give it to Brother Azhen." Xiao Fuyuan held the crystal cake still in He Shun's arms.
He Shun was anxious, but this girl was still angry.
"Cough cough cough..."
Just as Xiao Fuyuan was about to turn around and leave, he heard A Zhen's cough coming from the room.
