I haven't returned home for half a month, and the flower vines in the yard have grown up and are climbing up the wall.
"Errrr..."
The little girl's voice sounded in the yard, and Mrs. Wen was holding the child.
Cheng Wanwan walked over, hugged his little granddaughter, and said with a smile: "Little Zhuzhu, do you miss grandma?"
The little girl couldn't speak, but she was babbling and humming with saliva in her mouth.
Wen Shi said with a smile: "I was fast asleep just now. When I heard my grandma's voice, I immediately opened my eyes. These eyes are spinning. I will definitely be a smart child in the future."
The little girl smiled broadly.
Cheng Wanwan's fatigue disappeared instantly. She walked around the yard with her child in her arms, and the little girl immediately fell asleep.
She walked around, pointed to the edge of the stone table in the middle of the yard, and said with great interest: "Da Shan, you will dig a hole here later and plant the grape vines."
There are two grape trees planted in the yard, and it is so comfortable and cool to sit under the grape trellis.
This grapevine was sent by Lu Yingxue's mother. It was an unimproved wild grape. Cheng Wanwan secretly replaced it with an improved variety from the mall, which is the kind of purple grape with thin skin, seedless and sweet taste. Think about it. My mouth is watering.
There were also many fruit trees and melon seedlings on the carriage, which she had replaced with the improved products of modern agriculture. There was definitely no way to plant them in the yard. She had to move them down first and set aside a field to grow these things later.
After all the things on the hired carriage were moved down, Cheng Wanwan paid the fare and the coachman left with satisfaction.
"Boss wife, you are finally back!" As soon as Mrs. Zhao heard the news, she finished what she was doing and came over immediately, "I have come back all the way from Huzhou and haven't eaten anything yet. I happened to have some ingredients at home. I’ll go to the old house to have something to eat later.”
Lao Zhao's family has recently started a small food business. The house has ingredients prepared all day long. It is very convenient to have something to eat as soon as the fire is turned on.
"Grandma, leave the dinner to me!"
Wu Huiniang's voice came from the door, and a bullock cart slowly drove to the door.
Zhao Dawang was driving the cart, and Zhao Ergou, Wu Huiniang, and Cheng Fang were all on the cart. There were also many fresh ingredients on the cart.
Zhao Ergou jumped out of the car: "Early in the morning, I heard someone announcing the good news went to the county government office. I knew that Shen Zheng and his cousin must have passed the exam, so I closed the store and took out the delicious food in the store. We’ve moved everything back, so we’ll have a great celebration today.”
Zhao Sidan stuck out his tongue: "My eldest cousin and brother Zheng have gone home, so we can't celebrate."
Wu Huiniang said with a smile: "Mom has finally returned from Huzhou for half a month. Let's celebrate our family reunion. I will be the cook. Chunhua Cheng will let you two help me."
Cheng Fang quickly unloaded everything from the ox cart. There was chicken, duck, fish, meat, and wine. It was extremely rich.
After the three Wei family siblings finished unloading the goods, they stood there without knowing what they were doing. Many people from the Zhao family came over. The yard was full of people, making the three siblings seem out of place.
Cheng Wanwan turned around and said with a smile: "Hongying, Hongyan, go to the kitchen to help. Xiaohai, you can pour a little water on the roots of those fruit seedlings to prevent them from drying out."
The three children found something and got busy immediately.
Mrs. Zhao whispered: "This is..."
"Didn't my mother suggest me to buy someone before? This time I went to Huzhou and bought three children. They have no father and no mother. It's so pitiful." Cheng Wanwan said, "Although I hold their marriage contract in my hand , but when they grow up and get married, the deed of sale will naturally be returned."
"These three children look good." Old Mrs. Zhao observed the three of them working and gave a very good comment, "In the future, if someone will take care of the messy things in the yard, you will be able to relax a little bit."
Cheng Wanwan nodded, at least she no longer needed to do the tedious chores herself.
She handed the child to Wenshi, who coaxed the child into the house. She lowered her head and unpacked the pile of things she had brought back on the floor. Only then did she remember that she had bought a lot of things, and hurriedly said: "Sidan, take your My uncle, second uncle, third uncle, third aunt, as well as my elder sister and younger sister are all called over, come and distribute the gifts."
Mrs. Zhao suddenly looked disapproving: "We already spend money when we go out, so why do we buy so many things? We have everything at home. We are not allowed to spend more money in the future."
Cheng Wanwan grabbed Mrs. Zhao's hand and looked left and right.
The old lady felt a little uncomfortable for no reason. Although her relationship with her daughter-in-law was much better, she had never been so close.
"Mom, you are only over 50 years old, and your hands are so dry and cracked. This is not good." Cheng Wanwan took out a white porcelain bottle, "Apply it once in the morning and evening after washing your hands. In about a month, your hands will slow down." Recovering slowly."
Mrs. Zhao's eyes widened: "This is too expensive. How can I buy something like this that only rich people can use? I am an old rural woman who does menial work every day. I can't use it. I really can't use it..."
"It's just for rough work, so I use it." Cheng Wanwan said with a smile, "If mother doesn't take good care of her, she will age quickly. In the future, my grandchildren will be successful and they will grow old before they have time to enjoy their blessings. Thank you."
Old Mrs. Zhao finally took it hesitantly, opened the lid and smelled it, Emma, it smells so good, a fragrance that can only be found on young ladies from wealthy families. She, an old woman, can actually use such a good thing one day...
At this time, everyone from Lao Zhao's family came. Sun ran at the front and grabbed Cheng Wanwan's hand: "Sister-in-law, you are finally back. I really miss you...if it weren't for my hand I've been here a long time ago if I haven't finished anything yet. Hey, what's in here, so many strange things..."
Cheng Wanwan took out two rouge boxes: "His second and third aunts each have one box. I don't know what color you like, so I bought the most popular light pink among the ladies in Huzhou City to see if you like it?"
Mrs. Sun took the rouge over in disbelief. On the box was a picture of a lady. When she opened it, there was light pink rouge with a strong fragrance.
Although she is a woman, she has never owned a rouge box of her own in the past twenty-seven or eight years. In her opinion, this thing is something that only young ladies from rich families can use. She does not even think about it. She didn't dare to think that a small box seemed to weigh a thousand pounds when placed in her hand.
She stammered: "Sister-in-law, I'd better not give it up..."
I can't use it even if I want it. I don't know how to use it even if I want to. It feels uncomfortable in my hand.
"Mom, if you don't want it, just give it to me." Donghua stretched out her hand to grab it, "Mother, if you use rouge, will it make you look better? I want to give it a try?"
"Take your pig's hooves away!" Mrs. Sun glared at her, "Even if I don't want it, it's not your turn. Forget it, just keep it for Chunhua as a dowry."
She quickly put the rouge into her sleeves.
Cheng Wanwan couldn't help laughing, lowered her head and continued to take out something: "These two pairs of shoes are for his second uncle and his third uncle each. There is a kitchen knife here. Sidan, you can bring it in for Chunhua. This set of embroidery thread is for Xiahua." I bought it, autumn flowers, yours is a silver hairpin, winter flowers, this is yours."
Several flowers were happy, except the winter flowers.
She accepted the book handed over by Cheng Wanwan with a face full of disbelief: "Auntie, this, this book should be given to Brother Sidan or Brother Erwang. I don't know how to read. Why would you give me a book? It must be It was sent to the wrong person!”
Zhao Erwang glanced at it and said: "Huzhou's special cookbook, a book that tells you how to cook, must be given to you."
Cheng Wanwan nodded: "Donghua, don't you love to eat? Just follow the recipe and make whatever you want. It'll be great."
Donghua almost wanted to cry: "But I don't know the words."
"Learn if you don't know her." Old Mrs. Zhao said angrily, "That girl Cheng Fang didn't know a single Chinese character before. After staying in the restaurant for half a month, she has learned a lot of Chinese characters. Are you still no match for her?"
Donghua: "..."
Her brothers and sisters all got their favorite things, but she was burdened with something that made her want to cry.
Old man Zhao threw Donghua aside and squeezed over. He looked around and said to him: "Boss's wife... ahem, has the journey been smooth?"
The pipe that the eldest daughter-in-law bought from Nanyang City last time made him famous in the village, and he began to look forward to this gift for no reason.
