147. Homely
He Zijin only thought that she had heard the gossip, and she had already agreed to go hiking with A Nian and A Lie tomorrow morning.
The third girl was a little envious and said, "I have been in the embroidery workshop and I have no time to go out." Because she was neat in her work, settled the accounts clearly and quickly, and worked harder for those who can do it. Aunt Li sent more things to the third girl. Of course, the wages were also long. When the third girl's birthday, Aunt Li also gave her a red envelope. Even though Aunt He and Aunt Li still had some secrets that they could not tell, they were happy to see the red envelope, and they felt that Aunt Li had advantages~
The third girl is so capable, and her monthly salary of two taels and five cents is not worse than that of ordinary accounts in Bishui County. So, more and more people told the third girl that she had a kiss. Mrs. He and Shen were fine, just analyzing the quality of her husband's family for the third girl. However, although there were many people saying they had a kiss, it was not easy to find a suitable one.
Having said that, Mrs. He still has a temper. As long as the children at home are useful, can make money, and can live, her face is also good. From the third girl, she said that the third girl has a serious job and can earn four or five acres of fertile land a year. Mrs. He became more and more kind to the third girl. He heard that the third girl could not go out to climb mountains together, Mrs. He also specifically advised her, "You are a serious person, so you don't run wild like them." He also reminded the third girl, "You are also literate and you can make a calculation. If your embroidery workshop is lacking, you can recommend your sister first." She also planned to ask He Zijin to make stable money, make lunch at noon, and have red envelopes for birthdays. Of course, the matter of raising flowers cannot be delayed.
The third girl replied with a smile.
He Zijin smiled, "We will carry a small bamboo basket tomorrow. I heard that there are many wild mulberries on the mountain, which are just right to pick and eat."
Mrs. He smiled, "That's what you have to do, this is how you can live."
The next day, he got up at dawn and went to exercise boxing. He didn't eat breakfast. He had to go out to climb the mountain after finishing his work. He had just finished practicing the Five Animals Play and said, "Go to eat at home before going to go. Otherwise, if you have an empty stomach, you can't climb the mountain."
He Zijin gave the small bamboo basket to A Nian's shoulders. A Lie brought the filling water bag and smiled, but he didn't say it. He knew at a glance, "I'll get lost with me again!"
He Zijin told He, "We are not eating at home today, so we go to Zhao Yangtou's house to eat mutton buns and drink Bazhen Soup."
Mrs. He suddenly became disheartened and stopped him, "Don't commit sins, how much does that cost! There is nothing at home, eat at home before leaving." He Zijin didn't hear that, let alone A Nian Alie had already been angry and asked Sister Zijin to treat her delicious food in the morning. The three of them ran away. Mrs. He stomped her feet and scolded, "A dead girl who is born to be unprofitable! She can't have money in her hands! She is so burning with money!"
The third girl advised, "My sister is still young, and I don't eat it every day, but once in a while."
Old Madam He's eyebrows stood up, "I still want to eat every day, so I don't have to live anymore!"
The third girl advised again, "The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, and in three or four months, my sister's flowers will be sold again."
Mrs. He muttered, "That girl has said a long time ago that things are expensive because they are rare, so it is difficult to sell them last year's high price."
The third girl smiled, "Don't worry, grandma, even if it's hard to sell the high price last year, it's a rare thing. Besides, the wolfberry grown in our family can also be sold at a price, and there are also wolfberry seedlings and wolfberry buds, which are all promising. Grandma, don't worry, my sister is a scholar and has a lot of money in her heart."
The third girl originally wanted to comfort Mrs. He, but how could she know that Mrs. He became even more depressed and said, "What's the use? That's the future of your aunt's field, not the official one." When wolfberry was planted, Mrs. He was not convinced by He Zijin, so Shen moved two acres of her private property to plant wolfberry for He Zijin. Now she has a lot of income, and Mrs. He is a little jealous again.
The third girl smiled, "I heard from my sister that there are too many flowers at home. I will get some cuttings and plant them in the field this fall."
Mrs. He said, "What's the use of flowers? You can't eat or drink."
The third girl smiled, "Why can't you eat flowers? Take roses as an example. When the buds are dried and made into herbal tea, they can also be made into rose braised when they are blooming. Furthermore, the best rouge is made from flowers. I don't know if there are other things. But I think that my sister is always in tune with herbal tea."
Mrs. He thought for a while, "Then let the girl plant flowers and go up the fields at home."
The third girl smiled and was about to speak when she saw Cui'er coming in with a food box. Old Madam He asked, "What is this?"
Cui'er said, "It was the mutton bun bought by the big girl, and asked the store to send it. The big grandma asked me to free the buns and put them in the kitchen. The food box had to be returned to the store, and they were waiting outside."
Mrs. He began to stroking her chest and calm her breath. For a moment, another fried dough stick gave her two kilograms of fried dough sticks, eight horseshoe cakes, and a can of hot tofu. Mrs. He couldn't get back the goods, so the prodigal girl had already paid the money. So, Mrs. He had a heartache all morning and had a lot of lunch. He Gong said, "Mother is not well, so my son would invite Dr. Zhang to come and have a look."
I don’t know how much it cost before breakfast, but Mrs. He still allowed her son to spend money to hire a doctor. She waved her hand and said, “It’s okay, go ahead and tell you that the prodigal girl to spend less money. I can’t die! Don’t talk to my ears, buzz, buzz, and panic.”
He Gong returned to the room, and Shen said to him, "I just asked the nanny. In the morning, my mother felt that the mutton bun was mingled and ate two more. I thought it wasn't hungry yet. I asked the nanny to take hawthorn pills for my mother to eat. Let's see how it will be at night. If it feels good at night, it's okay. If you still have no appetite at night, go and invite Dr. Zhang to take a look." It's not a trivial matter to hold on.
"That's good," He Gong said, "Since my mother likes to eat mutton buns, I buy some every now and then."
Shen smiled, "Don't say that, just Zijin will buy it. Zijin is not afraid of her grandmother's nagging. If it were someone else, you can't stand the mother-in-law's mouth. Don't do good things, and you can't even scold her. Besides, can't my daughter-in-law be the same as my granddaughter? This thing was bought by my granddaughter. If my grandmother's nagging for a few days, I have to say that my granddaughter is filial. If my daughter-in-law is willing to spend money on her own, it would be a waste of my family.
He Gong said, "I'll buy it from now on."
"Okay!" Shen expressed his support.
He Gong said again, "Is this a girl having lunch in Chaoyunguan?"
"When I left, I said that I would eat outside at noon." Shen unconsciously touched his stomach and said to his daughter, "Fortunately, he is a girl. If he is a boy, I don't know how naughty it."
He Gong saw that his girl was so beautiful, and laughed, "The girl's family is still lively and likable."
The two of them said something and took a nap.
After a while, it was Grandma Chen who came to talk. My grandma He had just felt a little more comfortable, and after a few words, he sent Grandma Chen to Shen's house.
Second Grandma Chen just learned that Shen was pregnant, and first gave her congratulations and said with a smile, "Now that the family is busy, I don't come here often, and I don't know that my brother and sister have such a happy event."
Shen smiled, "I'm so old, and I suddenly have a body again, and I feel a little embarrassed."
"Don't say this. I wasn't older than you when I gave birth to Erniu's brother." Second Grandma Chen smiled and said, "So, the eldest grandma in our family has a body."
Shen did not take Chen Zhi seriously. When the second grandma Chen said that, she laughed and said, "I was busy with the children's college entrance examination a few days ago. I don't know about this, but I have to congratulate Azhi."
The sky was not hot, but Grandma Chen waved the round fan a few times in anger, and her eyebrows were so depressed that she could not hide her expression, "Don't mention this. The lady said she had come to talk to her aunt early, because our family was messy, and the wife didn't have the intention to visit her." Then, without Shen's question, Grandma Chen started to talk, "It's really a girl from a scholarly family, and the rules are so great. Several big girls in Azhi's house were sent away, and the big girl gave her a thunderous scolding and almost slapped her."
Shen felt relieved when scolding Chen Daniu, but she showed her bad behavior as an elder, and said, "This is not possible."
Cui'er brought the tea, and Grandma Chen took it and praised it first, "What a fragrant tea!"
"Zi Jin got two cans of wild tea made by Taoist priest on the mountain. She didn't eat tea often, so she gave her father a can and put a can in her wife's house." Shen smiled, "My sister-in-law wants to like it, just take the rest."
"Don't, this is Zijin's filial piety. I also have tea at home." After talking about tea, the second grandma Chen continued to talk about the eldest grandma of the Chen family. "The big girl is also awesome. She is only angry, but not popular. Now she is also meeting the nemesis. You don't know that the big girl's nose is not the nose, face is not the face! Don't they all say that the scholarly lady is gentle and gentle? Even if I am an ordinary family, I am not as good as the words in the mouth of the eldest grandma."
The second grandma Chen can say that Grandma Chen is not good, but Shen Shi will not say that. She said, "This is also a thing that can bring down one thing."
Grandma Chen sighed, "I'm sorry Azhi, why should I meet a tigress in my life?"
After hearing Grandma Chen’s complaints, Grandma Chen talked for half a day, and her expression was much more relaxed when she left.
He Gong came over from the study room and said, "What's wrong with the second cousin's wife? I can listen to her resentment when I close the door in the study room."
Shen smiled, "Azhi's wife is so powerful. I'm afraid she will take her head. No one can tell me. Come to our house to complain, maybe I will feel better."
"Don't pay attention to these things." Especially when his wife was pregnant, He Gong asked, "I feel tired, should I lie down for a while?"
"Just just sit, I'll get tired." Shen gave birth to a more graceful child. In fact, he paid great attention to maintenance on weekdays. This time he was pregnant, but his taste changed a little, so I was not seriously injured. Moreover, my daughter is getting older now, and my mother-in-law and daughter are watching her family affairs. Shen can rest assured to take care of her baby. She said, "Please give me one of the plums."
Seeing the plum blossom, he handed it to his wife and put it in his mouth, "When you are pregnant with A Lie, you don't like sourness." Shen said, "For some reason, I only feel that it smells sour."
He Gong laughed, "I'm afraid that you will lose your teeth if you are not careful."
It was in the evening that He Zijin and his party came back with a basket of wild mulberry and four small crucian carp the size of a palm.
He Zijin changed his clothes and went to He Lao Niang's house to talk. Shen Shi He Gong also went over, and then He Zijin said, "I have a lot of knowledge. The academy is built very well. There are houses for classes, houses for accommodation, gentlemen's small courtyards, and canteens for cooking, which are very refreshing."
Mrs. He said, "You still went to the academy?"
He Zijin took the rose tea handed over by Madam Yu and said, "Ordinary people don't let us in. The Taoist priest took us in. At noon, he ate it at Chaoyunguan, picked mulberries and caught fish, and came back."
Mrs. He asked again, "How much did you spend in the morning?"
He Zijin laughed, "It's the money you gave me that day, grandmother."
"A dead girl who doesn't save money." Old Niang He muttered, "I said I was saving up that day, but I was exhausted in a blink of an eye. How can you live like this in the future?" I was so worried.
"I didn't think my grandmother likes to eat mutton buns, so I asked the store to send it. Okay, it's not that I eat it every day, I'm very easy to eat it. I'm filial." Seeing Madam Yu bringing in the washed mulberry, He took it to Old Madam He first to show his respect, and said, "Try these mulberry, sweet and sour."
Mrs. He took one to eat and said, "You can't spend money so much in the future."
He Zijin smiled, "Are you going to go through my private room again?" He now pays the third girl two hundred yuan a month. Of course, this is because the third girl's wages are paid. He Zijin is quite a little private room. He Mama is angry that she spends money from time to time and plans to confiscate it. He Zijin is very good at hiding things. He Mama is quite depressed because of her many years of experience in hiding things. "I think I'm rare!"
He Zijin laughed treacherously, "If I hide, I can't find the gods in the place I hide!"
Old Madam He said to herself, this dead girl has become a spirit!
