When Xiao Ming and An Po came out, Yi's mother, her son Yi Feng, her grandson Yi Xuan, and the little girl Li'er were already waiting in the yard. Each of them had a bag in their hands, as if they already knew the outcome. .
Seeing Xiao Ming, Yi's mother took a step forward and stopped when she was three steps away. She knelt down and saluted: "Greetings, Miss."
The other three followed closely and saluted the new master.
"Mother Yi, please get up." Xiao Ming quickly helped Mother Yi stand up, and asked Yi Feng and others to get up: "You don't have to salute like this in the future. Our family doesn't have so many rules. From now on, we are a family. As long as you serve me loyally, I will never treat anyone badly."
"Yes." Even so, Yi's mother still abided by the etiquette and stood aside politely, with a calm face, showing no emotion or anger, while Yi Feng on the side was as silent as ever, as quiet as death, and the little girl Li Li Er and Yi Xuan looked at the young new master curiously.
"Sister, we are back." Xiao Han and Xia Xiaoba came in with two little ones, each carrying a lot of large and small things in their hands. It turned out that when Xiao Ming and An Po were talking in the house, Xia Xiaoba had nothing to do, so he took Xiao Han and the two little ones to buy supplies. Xia Xiaoba bought things that were needed at home. He bought a few more boxes of bird's nests for Mrs. Song. In order to honor my wife and please my mother, I have many miscellaneous things.
Xiao Han bought all books, a thick stack, which almost covered his face when he held it in front of him. He had to turn his face to the side to see the road ahead clearly.
Of course, there were two little ones who bought all kinds of food, including cakes and dates. Xiao Yu also handed the peach cake to his aunt like a treasure: "Auntie, this peach cake is delicious. You taste it."
"It's too sweet. Auntie doesn't want it. Don't eat too much, or you may get worms on your teeth." Xiao Ming refused. She ate too many sweets for them when she went to the city today. She was really worried about their teeth.
"The aunt I know has to pull out her teeth when she gets worms. I only eat this little. These are all bought for grandma and sister Yunling." Xiao Yu finished the peach cake in his hand and held it. Three packs of snacks to show to my aunt.
Aunt Yi looked up at the three packs of snacks each of the two little ones were holding. There were diamond-shaped red paper marks on them from the most famous pastry shop in Pingcheng. A pack of snacks cost two taels of silver, and Aunt Yi only nodded lightly. Then he looked away.
"Brother, you eat." Xiao Yu took out the cake and handed it to Yi Xuan and Li'er who were standing aside.
"Thank you, young master." Pear happily took it and bit it, not forgetting to say: "It's delicious."
She had never tasted such delicious pastries.
Yi Xuan waited for his grandmother to nod before catching it with both hands.
"Thank you, Master."
"You're welcome, I have a lot more here." Xiao Yu smiled and narrowed his eyes.
"Good sister, you can go in peace, your good days are still to come." Before leaving, Po An held Mother Yi's hand and was happy for her in her heart.
"Remember to come back and see me when you have time."
"Yeah." Mother Yi didn't say much. She changed her master again and doesn't know how she will live in the future. I hope it will be good! She doesn't care anymore, she just wants her children and grandchildren to be well.
An Po felt an indescribable feeling in her heart when she looked at Yi's mother. She originally thought she was more pitiful than herself, but when she thought about it, she was the most pitiful one. She had children and grandchildren, and now she was with Xiao Ming; What about her? There is nothing, her husband is gone, her son is dead, and she is living alone with money, so her good days are still to come?
An Po looked at Li'er, who was eating cakes, and was about to give her some instructions, but when she saw this girl, she was so angry that she hated the iron. This damn girl never stopped opening her mouth. In just a short moment, She ate a package of twenty taels of pastries by herself. Two taels was enough for a country person to eat for half a year.
Why was she so unlucky to meet this greedy girl? She sold it but was returned with a loss of money. Was she sent by God to cure her?
It's hard to send it out this time, but don't come back again.
"You damn girl, at least restrain yourself. If you are sent back, I will sell you far away and you will never be able to eat." An Po threatened in a low voice, and she just shouted with her ears. .
"Hmm, um." Li'er had a pastry in her mouth and a piece of cake in her hand. She was eating happily. She nodded her head after listening to Po An's words. Only she knew whether she listened or not.
Xiao Ming rejected Po An's proposal to send a carriage to see her off. It was difficult to repay debts with money, so instead of owing favors, she might as well buy another carriage herself. Although it was a little late now and she couldn't buy one ready-made, she could still rent one. If a carriage goes back, there is no need to owe a favor.
On the way to the horse market, Xiao Ming and Yi's mother walked at the end. Xiao Ming watched Yi's mother not saying a word all the way, thinking that she must be unhappy in her heart. The owner suddenly changed, and such a young owner, in She definitely couldn't adapt to it for a while.
"Mama Yi." Xiao Ming called.
"Miss, please speak." Mother Yi turned to look at the little master beside her.
"No need to be polite, just call me Xiao Ming." Miss, it was a very noble title in ancient times, but in modern times it gradually evolved into another meaning, which made her think of it every time she heard it.
"No matter how kind the girl is to us, we must not forget our duty as slaves. The girl is the master and I am the servant. We cannot call the girl by her first name." Mother Yi noticed Xiao Ming's resistance to the girl and immediately changed her tune. Call girl.
I have to say that this is a good title for girl, and it touched Xiao Ming's heart.
"Mother Yi, let me tell you the truth. We are a well-off family with few assets. We are not a wealthy family. Following us may not be able to compare with your former wealth and splendor, but I, Xiao Ming, hereby promise, I will never treat anyone who is loyal to our Xiao family badly."
Mother Yi was very touched by Xiao Ming's assurance. In this situation, all she wanted was stability and a place to stay. Why could Xiao Ming value her so much and not despise her son? Why didn't she Contribute your own loyalty.
"Since the girl can be so honest about treating me, we must do our best to be loyal to her."
Xiao Ming pursed her lips and smiled, and then said: "Mom Yi, you don't have to be so cautious in the future. We farmers don't have so many rules and regulations. There are only me, Xiaohan, Yu'er, my godmother, two children Wang Tiandong and his sister Yunling at home." , that is Xia Xiaoba, he is our neighbor." Xiao Ming said and pointed to Xia Xiaoba who was walking in front.
"I hope Mother Yi can treat us as her own home in the future and don't dislike it."
"The girl joked. "The population is so simple, how could she dislike it.
"The family now only has about a hundred acres of land. Three plots are planted with vegetables, two plots are planted with chrysanthemums, and the rest are planted with fruit trees and medicinal materials. In the future, we will have to ask Mother Yi and Brother Yi to help take care of it. What can we do? Please correct me if I’m wrong.”
