Chapter 72 We Love Bathing
At this time, Uncle Li’s family is full of people, including his daughter and children at home!
As soon as "Wang Zai'er" saw Awen, the two brothers immediately came up to him, said hello to Ayuan and his wife, and ran out with their arms around each other.
"Auntie, you don't usually see these two kids. They are so fierce, so rare!" A Yuan looked at Aunt Li's daughter with a smile. She was about the same age as Cai Lian, but more coquettish.
"This is Jinfeng, hurry up, call me sister-in-law -" Aunt Li pulled the shy girl over and said: "Her grandma can't live without people and often asks her to accompany her. She has a very soft temper and won't follow her easily.
It’s really a headache when people talk!”
The little girl's face turned even redder, her head drooped and she just rubbed her clothes but said nothing.
A Yuan hurriedly helped her out: "Little girls of this age are like this. Jinfeng, my sister-in-law has a girl named Cai Lian in her family. Do you know her? Ask her to come and play with you later. You are close in age, so you can definitely get along.
"
The little girl let go of her mother's hand and immediately flew into the back room, seeming to say "hmm" from her nose.
"Hey, she was spoiled by her grandma and is so shameless!" Aunt Li sighed, and smiled again when she heard the shouts of the two little boys outside: "Fortunately, we sent Wang Zai'er to school early, otherwise
, I’m not sure what the teaching will be like!”
"Aunt Li's words are so mouth-watering. In our family, we wish someone could tolerate her more!" A Yuan smiled and put away Aunt Li's discomfort in one sentence.
The two women entered the back room. The little girl was quite diligent in collecting ideas. She was sewing a piece of clothing. When she saw a stranger come in again, she immediately slipped out of the kang at a loss and stood silently aside.
For such an introverted child, it is better to pretend not to see it than to try hard to explain it. Ah Fuan grabbed Aunt Li who was about to lecture her a few more words and asked her to take a look at the finished cotton coat.
Sure enough, the little girl, who was not paying attention to anyone, calmed down. She slowly climbed back onto the kang and silently picked up the needlework she had just made.
Aunt Li's craftsmanship is very good. The stitching of each cotton coat is very fine. When sorted, it turns out to be a tall pile.
"I don't know if you like the ordinary style of farmers. I was originally thinking about cutting your clothes to be more body-conscious to look good. I also thought about getting pregnant in the future, but I couldn't wear them, so I didn't tighten my waist.
Come out." Aunt Li grabbed the cotton-padded jacket and trousers specially made for A-Yuan and explained that she was afraid that the newly married daughter-in-law would dislike the style, which was as wide as a bucket.
In fact, this cotton coat is quite nice. The two wide sides are inserted diagonally from the neck, extending straight to the armpits. It just wraps the abdomen in two layers to ensure warmth in the harsh winter.
Just like what Bai Laoer said, at this moment, it's not time to show off, so it's best to follow the popular line quietly without feeling aggrieved.
"Very good, thank you Aunt Li. This is the processing money agreed upon, please keep it." A Yuan strung together the prepared copper coins and stuffed them into Aunt Li's hand.
"How can we say this? Ordinarily, we have been left with a lot of cotton cloth, so we can't accept the money -" Aunt Li was very embarrassed to accept the money. The neighbors lived there and were just helping her with needlework.
What's more, I also gave my girl and boy a cotton-padded jacket, which is worth a lot of money!
"Just accept it, I will have to ask you for help in the future! Tomorrow, we will build a courtyard wall at home, and we don't know much about taking care of it inside and outside. I would like to ask you and Uncle Li
Go over there and give me some advice. I wonder if you have any time here?" Ah Yuan picked up the cotton-padded jacket and rubbed his face on it, then put it down happily and looked at Aunt Li sincerely.
There are no children with elders at home. Doesn’t it mean that there is no one to help? Aunt Li’s heart suddenly softened and she nodded vigorously: “I’m free! Chengguang family, when you call, we will answer the call!”
In the outer room, Boss Bai also made it clear to Uncle Li why he was here. This season is the slack season for farmers. Uncle Li goes out to do odd jobs and travel far away. In addition to eating and drinking, it is better to earn some money right at home!
When the four people said goodbye to each other with satisfaction, Aunt Li finally asked hesitantly: "Chengguang family, do you know that there is a legend in our village that there is treasure in the wasteland, and the Shitou family even asked about it yesterday?
I’m coming!”
"Hey! We've heard it too, so don't pay attention to them. They said there are treasures in the wasteland, but why didn't anyone buy it? Hearing the cries of the cockroaches, don't you think you're still planting crops?" A Yuan answered nonchalantly, but felt in his heart.
The troubles are even worse.
If you don't have the ability to protect your wealth, then grit your teeth and find someone who can protect you!
Hugging your thighs can also help you relax.
At this moment, Ah Yuan made up his mind.
When I got home, I held an emergency meeting of the whole team.
"I've thought about it. Instead of waiting for others to come to you and get beaten passively, it's better to take the initiative." A Yuan looked at every face. Even the youngest Awen frowned so seriously, as if he was analyzing.
and thinking.
"I think so too." Bai Laoer breathed out a breath: "In the past, it was not uncommon for farmers to be forcefully squeezed out by the backstage as soon as they had a way to make a fortune. Whether it was stealing or robbing, it was not uncommon for them to use clever tricks to force us to do so.
Whether it's handed over, it's not impossible, we must find a way to deal with it in advance."
"Then how do you respond in advance and take the initiative? Sister-in-law, tell me, we will listen to you!" Bai Laosan expressed his position. It feels really bad to have to be on guard against being robbed at all times, and it makes you feel uncomfortable sleeping at night.
A Yuan's idea is to find a rich, powerful and conscientious "thigh" to embrace, and partner with him to do the stone business. Under the banner of "thigh", he will definitely be able to stop the entanglement and coveting of the little devil.
So who should be this very critical "thigh"?
The bitter boy who has been trapped in this corner for a long time is looking for a useful "thigh", but his eyesight is always dark.
Bai Laoer clasped his fingers and seriously listed all the rich and powerful people he had interacted with during this period: "The shopkeeper of the grain store? His strength is not enough to show off; a regular customer who sells mountain goods?
We don’t know the details; the dean of the academy? He’s a little too noble. He was recommended by the steward of the Lu Mansion——”.
His suddenly raised eyes met A Yuan's eyes instantly, a flash of lightning flashed, and they both called out at the same time: "The Lu family, look for the Lu family!"
There is no one more qualified than the Lu family to fulfill the position of "big brother". If they are rich, they will not take Ga Shi's gains too seriously; if they are powerful, it is said that this family is a high-ranking official in the capital, and no one from top to bottom dares not to do so.
Give them some face; if they are popular, whether it's A Yuan or Bai Lao Er, they can chat with the Lu family for a few words, so they don't have to come to their door rashly and be looked down upon!
Boss Bai knew nothing about this and waved vigorously: "Then you two will go to the Lu Mansion tomorrow to talk and buy more gifts. Don't let others laugh at us for being ignorant!"
There are really a lot of tasks tomorrow, and Boss Bai has no time to spare. He has to lead the third child to draw the location of the courtyard wall on the spot, use a shovel to shovel out the boundary, and follow Uncle Li to find the hired workers and set the wages.
Determine where the large stoves for cooking lunch are located.
Awen pursed his lips and asked depressedly: "Brother, what should I do?"
Little people don’t like to be ignored.
"You have to look after the house! We can't live without people in our house. The more noisy the house is, the more we need a careful and reliable person to look after the house, mow the grass for the cattle to dry, and take care of Da Hei and Xiao Meng Meng.
If you are fed well and grow fast, you will be able to replace you as housekeeper for us!" A Yuan coaxed while stroking Awen's messy hair.
The little guy was still in tears. He was very frustrated that he could not contribute like a real man.
Little Cailian was very reluctant to let her brother do this. She thought about it carefully and spoke carefully: "How about letting Awen follow him to the town! He is familiar with those snack shops, and he can give more candied haws.
Let’s chat for a few words. I’ll stay behind to look after the house, cut the grass, feed the dogs, and I can also find time to make some fake flowers. Sister-in-law, can I use the cloth in your house to cause harm?”
What a considerate little girl! Ah Yuan's two paws reached towards her sister's head again, but the little girl hurriedly protected her, watching her warily and leaning back.
When he didn't rub it, Ah Yuan took back his hand and showed a sly smile: "Silly sister, what you say about harming the cloth head is to practice your true skills. No matter what you do, it doesn't matter if it is cut to pieces!"
"Sister-in-law——", the little girl was touched. In this poor family, so many good cloths were given to her to practice making things. This sister-in-law is so generous and kind!
However, the generous and benevolent sister-in-law's claws once again reached for her head, and the unnamed bun that had been carefully combed was finally taken back with satisfaction.
Boss Bai really didn't know what to say about A Yuan's habit of rubbing the hair of his two younger siblings into a mess before giving up.
Or, in order for your wife to get rid of this bad habit, you have to sacrifice yourself and dedicate your head?
Boss Bai is distracted——
I wonder if my wife can do anything now? Anyway, her temper has not exploded again, and she has no stomachache anymore. Her eyes are flashing when she looks at her, but she is very energetic!
The family meeting was dismissed, and the couple returned to the bedroom. Boss Bai heard the most pleasant voice in the world: "Chengguang, bring in the bathtub, I want to take a bath——".
"Hey hey, hey hey -" Mr. Bai looked up at the sky. God, you must have heard my prayers and driven away your daughter-in-law's "natal relatives", right?
"What are you looking at? Is there something on the beam?" A-Fuan was packing up the clothes to be changed. They had been sloppy for several days and needed to be cleaned to make them comfortable.
"No - I didn't see anything -" Mr. Bai turned around and returned to the kitchen. Last time he wanted his wife to take a deep hot bath, but he ended up using up the water. This time there must be more.
