While Niu Caohua was packing things, Niu Xiaodi had fully accepted the fact that Niu Xiaobai could talk. He played with Niu Xiaobai for a while, then turned back to the room and took out a small box and handed it to Niu Caohua. .
"Sister, I'll give this back to you."
It was the money box at home. Before leaving, he gave it to Niu Xiaodi and asked him to keep it.
Niu Caohua took it without hesitation, took out the key and opened it. After counting, she found that the money inside was not less. Not only was it not less, but it was a little more.
"Have you not spent any money these past few months?"
When I left, the bacon hanging on the eaves was still there, and the vegetables in the yard had just sprouted. Do they eat wild vegetables every day?
"We are all at home, what money can we spend." Niu Xiaodi said with an innocent look on his face, "We have rice and noodles at home, and there are a lot of vegetables in the yard. We also have rabbits in the house that eat meat. Not long after you went out, we arranged for everyone to catch fish together. Where can I spend money?"
He said it easily, but Niu Caohua knew that she was definitely reluctant to spend money.
"Sister, welcome home." Niu Xiaodi suddenly laughed, but his voice was choked.
"Yeah." Niu Caohua raised her head, looked at Niu Xiaodi, who was already a little taller than herself, and smiled.
Don't be too comfortable when you go home, sleep until you wake up naturally every day, don't have to worry about being intimidated, and eat comfortably. Within a few days, Cowherd Flower's cheeks became plump, and her skin began to turn white.
Gradually return to the way it was before leaving home.

"Dadu, are you at home?" On this day, Niu Caohua was at home to deworm the vegetable field. As soon as she picked up a soft caterpillar, she heard a voice coming from outside the door.
This voice sounds like it belongs to Niushan Leopard. What is it here for?
The sun was shining fiercely at noon, and Niu Shanbao happened to be out of the house. Hearing this, he hurried over and opened the courtyard door, and saw the sweaty Niu Shan Leopard standing at the door with a sad look on his face.
"It's just in time." Niucaohua greeted politely.
"It's Caohua. I have something to do with your father." Li Zheng glanced at Caohua with a strange look, then quickly moved his gaze away, pulled Niudu into the house and closed the door. .
Niu Caohua threw the bug out of her hand and sneaked to the wall to listen to their conversation.
Xiao Cuier was making dumplings in the kitchen. When she heard the sound and looked out, she saw the door had been closed, with a question mark on her face.
Niu Xiaodi was reading in the room, but he ran out out of curiosity and saw that the door to his father's room was closed and no sound could be heard inside.
"Sister, what are you doing?" His beautiful sister, now looks a bit like a gecko, lying on the wall, very inelegant.
"Shhhhhhh, I'm listening to them!" Even with such a good hearing, I can't hear what's going on inside. Are Li Zheng and the others talking?
Seeing this, Niu Xiaodi hesitated again and again, but still couldn't resist his curiosity. He followed him and lay down on the wall with his ears pressed against the wall.
In the room, Niu Shanbao sat down on a low stool with a depressed expression.
Niu Dadu was not good at expressing himself. He didn't know what to say when he opened his mouth, so he had to pull up a low stool and sit down next to him.
"Hey~" After a while, Niu Shanbao let out a long sigh.
"Er Gou is getting engaged."
As soon as these words came out, Niu Dadu was stunned, as were Niu Caohua and Niu Xiaodi who were eavesdropping outside.
The cow and the dog are actually getting engaged!
Niu Caohua still thought that after solving the Qingzhou matter, she would mention Niu Ergou's matter during the New Year.
She always thought that Niu Ergou was somewhat interested in her.
But what's going on now?
Falling in love with another person?
Or is it raw rice or cooked rice?
Niu Dadu also agreed with his daughter's idea, but he didn't expect that the cooked duck would fly to someone else's house!
"What, what's going on?" Niu Dadu was a little angry and confused.
Niu Shanbao told the story.
Niu Ergou has been learning the craft from his master for some time. Because of his quick hands and feet and his cleverness, he learned quickly.
When the master saw this, he cultivated him more and accepted him as his adopted son. He would take him with him when he was alive.
This time I took on a big job from a wealthy family in Shanyin County, Kuaiji County. One of his sons worked as an errand in the county government and his family was extremely wealthy.
When the legitimate daughter of a wealthy family got married, she heard that Niu Ergou's master was good at his craftsmanship, so she invited him over to make a large carved bed for her dowry.
Niuergou naturally followed.
The wealthy family's mansion was huge, with walls made of blue bricks. From the street to the end of the street, you couldn't see the side at a glance. Inside, there were towering ancient trees, red flowers and green willows, so beautiful that even a bumpkin like Niu Ergou was dumbfounded.
After entering the mansion, a little maid took them directly to a courtyard, where they quietly played on the carved bed. They had three meals a day, and every meal had meat. Needless to say, they were not allowed to leave the yard, and there was no other treatment.
Originally, as long as the carved bed was finished and the wages were paid, one could go back safely.
Unexpectedly, just when the carved bed was about to be finished, something went wrong.
When the daughter-in-law of a wealthy family gets married, some of her maids will be married to her, while others will find other jobs.
There is a third-class maid named Caihuan in the eldest daughter's yard. Needless to say, she is very handsome and smart. Her family is in Yangzhou, so she doesn't want to follow the girl to Yanzhou to marry, nor does she want to randomly find a servant in the house to marry.
If you marry a servant, the children you will have in the future will also be slaves. It is better to find an honest man to marry outside.
It happened that Niu Ergou, a strong young man, came to the house to pay for his dowry. She waited and watched for a while, and then followed him to deliver several meals. She was very satisfied with Niu Ergou.
Niuergou has thick eyebrows and big eyes, so he is naturally not ugly. The most important thing is that he is very strong. It is easy to sweat when working in summer, let alone a strong young man. He only wore a single shirt, and the hot sweat wet the clothes, revealing his figure.
Even if you don’t have eight-pack abs, you still have four-pack abs.
But he was attracted by Caihuan.
When he returned home, he begged the daughter-in-law of a wealthy family, saying that he had fallen in love with the young man who came to the house to collect dowry.
The legitimate daughter naturally agreed to such a trivial matter, so she called Niu Ergou's master and asked about Niu Ergou's situation. When she found out that there was no match, she betrothed Caihuan to him.
Niu Ergou's master immediately responded to the matter happily.
He treats Niuergou no differently than he treats his own children, so he is really happy about this marriage.
As the saying goes, it is better to marry a servant girl than a daughter-in-law.
He has seen this maid before. Needless to say, she has good looks and knowledge. She is generous and generous in dealing with people. She is indeed a maid trained by a wealthy family.
I heard that she is also literate, a female celebrity, and is also good at housekeeping. That is beyond the reach of a girl from a small household.
More importantly, marrying her is equivalent to establishing a relationship with a wealthy family, which will be very helpful for future development.
I heard Ergou said that he had a very good neighbor sister at home, but the master didn't take her seriously at all. As long as she wasn't engaged or married, he couldn't do anything with her.
Niu Ergou, who was still sweating profusely in the side courtyard, got a fiancée in this way.
