The return of Mrs. Liu and her family in Jinyi did not affect the enthusiasm of everyone in the Xiao family for picking grapes. Everyone was still picking grapes in a lively manner. Mrs. Li really wanted to go and have a look, but she was dissuaded by the words of the eldest Wang.
"What's there to see? It's better to pick more fruits. Sister Ming still gives us fifty cents every day. Just take a look and she'll give you fifty cents to send to the beggars?" It was obvious that she was the one the big Wang said. Mrs. Liu, who had always been at odds with her.
The king's words clearly calmed down a few women who were wavering. Yes, picking grapes for a day can easily earn fifty wages, including meals. Yesterday, Xiao Ming gave each of them a basket of grapes. Such treatment Nothing more to say.
During the lunch break, Xiao Ming made a piece of fruit shaved ice for everyone to quench everyone's thirst. The ice was sent by Lin. Since getting ice, Xiao Ming has to get some to eat every day. Anyway, there are fruits at home. It's ready-made.
The fruit shaved ice is loved by the whole family, especially Xiao Yu and a few little ones. They look at it eagerly every day, hoping to eat more. Unfortunately, they are restricted by Mrs. Song and Mother Yi and can only eat one serving a day.
It was the first time for Wang and others to eat such a rare food. The ice that only existed in winter actually appeared here. The ice cubes were finely crushed and cool, and the grains were sweet. It was sweet and cool when held in the mouth. Li and others were secretly glad that they did not go there. Look at how lively Mrs. Liu is, otherwise there wouldn’t be such a precious thing to eat.
The Wang family does not have this blessing.
Liu Yu and Liu Xiaofang ate two bowls to their heart's content before they were satisfied. They even drank all the ice water in the bowl. This was the first time they had eaten ice in the summer for so long. They enjoyed themselves as much as if they were ice cubes. , very refreshing.
"I wonder how the Liu family is doing." Ms. Li muttered. Her family still had two large fat pigs that could be sold, if Mrs. Liu wanted to buy pigs.
Here, Mrs. Liu, whom Mrs. Li misses dearly, unexpectedly comes to visit in the afternoon.
Outside the gate, Mrs. Liu was talking to Mrs. Yi and Mrs. Song, while Xiao Ming and a group of little pump girls were washing grapes in the yard without knowing it.
"Sister Ming, someone from the Liu family is here." The eldest Wang walked in, holding half a basket of grapes in her hand, with a gloomy and ugly face. Obviously, the only person who could make her feel bad was her neighbor Mrs. Liu's family.
Xiao Ming was surprised and raised her head to look at Wang. Before she could speak, Liu Yu asked first.
"What is she doing here?" Likewise, she was not happy either.
"Come and stay for the night." The eldest Wang said. It's really ridiculous. She brought a large group of people back and had no place to live. She actually came up with the idea of taking Xiao Ming and wanted to live in Xiao Ming's house with her maids. , really
It's really too much and shameless. If you can't live in your own big brick house with tiles, you have to live in the Xiao family. How about bullying everyone in the Xiao family?
Shouldn't the Xiao family be regarded as a new house for marriage?
This old woman has the nerve to speak out.
"Borrowing for the night." All the little girls screamed, what's going on?
"Well, the Liu family's room is too short, so I want to stay with you for a few days." The Wang family said angrily, and it was difficult to calm down after all.
"I'll go out and have a look." Xiao Ming stood up and walked out. All the little girls stopped what they were doing and followed Xiao Ming to go out to watch the fun. Only Wang Yunling didn't move or raised her head as she was doing her own thing. However, the work on her hands was obviously slow. Her little tail king was not interested in anything outside even though he was sitting next to her eating grapes.
From a distance, I saw Mrs. Liu, Wang Xiaohua and two little girls sitting in the pavilion. Opposite me were Mother Yi, Mrs. Song and Mr. An. The other women who were helping with the work stopped and sat or stood around them. Talking.
As soon as I went out, I could hear the noise in the pavilion, and Mrs. Liu's unique loud voice penetrated the entire pavilion.
"What's wrong with me staying here for a few days? It's your blessing to use your home to entertain distinguished guests from the city. I look up to you."
"I said we can't live in the house, there is no place." Mrs. Song turned red with anger and argued quietly with Mrs. Liu. However, her soft words were no match for Mrs. Liu who had experienced many battles. As soon as she opened her mouth, she was Mrs. Liu's noises continued.
Mrs. Liu was determined to win. Before Mrs. Song could speak again, she forcefully took the initiative to speak. She started sputtering a lot of words. Mrs. Song didn't even have a chance to interrupt. She only had one or two words. The meaning behind the sentence was that I couldn't live in it and there was no place at home. Unfortunately, I was ignored by Mrs. Liu in front of me. "I won't tell you more. Just clean up the room quickly. The guests will be here in two days. Our family will also stay here tonight. My house over there has been given to the maid. Every room must be cleaned, sprinkled with perfume, and smoked with sandalwood. My wife is a noble person, so she shouldn’t smell strange smells. If anything happens to her, you won’t be able to bear it.” “There’s no place.” , Please come back!" Ms. Song said through gritted teeth. She had said this dozens of times, but this idiot just didn't listen. "Why is there no place? Why are you so unreasonable? I told you that the nobles from the city will come and live here to give you face. I put them here because I think highly of you." Even if there is no room, you have to make room for me. There are so many servants in the house, so let them work in the firewood shed, so this room will be gone." Mrs. Liu arranged it, and the guest directly became the Xiao family's home. In her In my eyes, the Xiao family's house is so big, how could it not fit in with so many rooms? The house is so grand, guests and their son and daughter-in-law are arranged here, and their faces are also bright, so that their in-laws can look up to them. "Then let's all make firewood sheds and give you all the rooms." Xiao Ming was both angry and funny. Who are these people? If they are staying in someone else's house when they get married, are they treating her new house as Liu Fushun's wedding house? .
She also wanted her family to build a firewood shed, but she couldn't think of it.
Excellent! "This is best, it's up to you." Mrs. Liu turned around and saw Xiao Ming. The second half of her sentence stuck in her throat. She still remembered the last time Xiao Ming wanted to prick her with a needle.
That day was still fresh in her memory, and she once again faced Xiao Ming's involuntary conflict in her heart. "It's Sister Ming who's here! Is Sister Ming at home?" Mrs. Liu laughed and asked knowingly. "Are you not at home? Fortunately, I didn't go out. Otherwise, if I went out to this house in the morning, my surname would be Xiao, and when I came back in the evening, my surname would be Liu." Xiao Ming looked at her with wide eyes, really wanting to see clearly what the brain of the person in front of him was like. Yes, you can say such things.
Fortunately, she was at home. Otherwise, with Mrs. Liu's strong temperament, the godmother and mother Yi would not be able to stop her.
