Lin Yuxi collected a basket of eggs, knowing that Mrs. Wu would be furious, so she packed some unused meat and vegetables.
Chen Xiuyun was really moved when she went back. Otherwise, her grandma would have to scold her again. With these bowls of meat, she wouldn't be afraid. In the end, Mrs. Wu still scolded her and didn't even know to take the eggs back.
"Grandma, the eggs were originally sent as a gift."
"You are the only one in our family, how much can you eat? You actually accepted a basket of eggs. It's really a shame."
Chen Xiuyun said, "Then why does grandma need to prepare again?"
It's not just for face.
Over there, Steward Wang returned to the Wei family, and Steward Wei happened to meet him in the garden, "Did you send a congratulatory gift to the Chen family?"
Manager Wang nodded, "I sent it, but why did the young master go out of his way to send a congratulatory gift? He is just a country boy. I don't think he has much knowledge."
Butler Wei smiled. The young master has not been at home these days. How could it be that the young master asked him to send it off? He accidentally learned that Chen Langjun's family had moved to a new house and thought he should express it.
Mrs. Chen has met Dr. Li, and Mr. Chen is full of knowledge. He will not be an ordinary person in the future. It will be too late to show friendship to Dr. Li when he becomes famous.
Now that we have formed a good relationship, the family will become prosperous in the future. The Wei family will be more comfortable with such a relationship. After all, it is still his contribution. Can the master and the young master be unhappy?
"Just send it away. Why are you asking so many questions?"
Steward Wang was angry because Steward Wei was obviously much younger than him, but he ended up being the chief steward, which made his hair turn gray and he still had to listen to the instructions of a junior.
When Butler Wei was about to leave, he caught up to him and said, "When I went to Da'ao Village today, I met someone who looked exactly like the Second Lady."
"really?"
Steward Wang nodded, "How dare I talk nonsense? It just looks like her. Judging by her dress, she must be a girl from a certain family in the village. I just didn't find out clearly. Can the housekeeper ask someone to inquire?"
Butler Wei hesitated for a moment, and then said, "No one can say for sure about the second master's affairs, so don't ask me about this matter. If you think it's okay, you can ask about it yourself."
It means that I don't want to interfere.
Manager Wang was eager to do this. After the second wife passed away, the second master had always been thinking about her. Finally, he met someone who looked similar. He would definitely give it a try. If he succeeded, it would be a good idea for him to work for the second master.
It's just that everything in this family cannot escape the eyes of Butler Wei. If you want to handle this matter, you still have to tell him first, otherwise you will offend others.
…
After dinner in the evening, the guests dispersed one after another. Mrs. Wu and her two daughters-in-law helped clean up.
Lin Yuxi said, "My eldest aunt and my two cousins-in-law are tired from work today. It's already getting late. I can do the rest myself. You can go back and rest early."
After that, he took two more large baskets of unused meat and vegetables, "I can't keep these anymore. I gave them to everyone who came to help today. These are for your family."
Xiao Wu said hurriedly, "Just take the unused ones to the butcher shop and return them. It's probably cheaper, so how can we take them away? Joy, please keep it quickly."
Lin Xixi smiled, "That's a lot of trouble. It's not that fresh after a day. Auntie, just accept it with peace of mind. I'll have to ask your family to help me if I have something to do at home in the future."
Only then did Xiao Wu accept it. On the way back, Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but said, "Second Grandpa really didn't come today, so I asked Xiuyun to come and take a look. What's the purpose of this?"
"What's the point of the plot? I just can't figure it out. I guess I wanted Zhong Qian and his wife to come and bow their heads, but they ran into some trouble. I've lived so long, but I still can't figure out the smallest thing." Little Wu said.
said.
She was still related to the Wu family, but after she got married, she disliked the Wu family less and less. One family was confused, and the other was even more confused. I don't know when they would understand.
Mrs. Yu said with a smile, "Seeing that Xixi is like this, I really don't plan to come to the door. All the remaining dishes are divided among them, and they don't get a share at all."
Zhou said, "It's quite tough, but if it were me, I wouldn't dare, for fear of others gossiping."
"It's rare to see someone with a temper like Joy's. I've been bullied for a few years and figured it out. I think it's pretty good." Xiao Wu joked with her daughter-in-law for a while, but stopped talking when they were almost home.
Lin Hexi couldn't see the mess. After Xiao Wu and others left, they tidied up for a while. The two children were already sleepy. Chen Zhongqian washed them and then coaxed them to sleep.
Xiaoduo had already told her brother about sleeping in a room. The brother and sister had assigned rooms and went back to sleep.
Chen Zhongqian covered them with quilts, and then went to help Lin Yuxi with work. He was so busy talking that it was so late that he could sleep.
"Go to sleep. I'll do the rest of the work tomorrow. You have to go to school tomorrow morning." Lin Yuxi rubbed his shoulders, but he was really tired.
Chen Zhongqian nodded and poured her a glass of water. Lin Xixi looked at him funny, "What? Are you reluctant to leave me and wonder why you can't sleep in the same room?"
"Nonsense." Chen Zhongqian glared at her, "I'm not a slut."
"Isn't it normal for couples to sleep in the same room? They are not sluts." Lin Xixi smiled, "It's not shameful."
Chen Zhongqian's face was expressionless, "That's not the case, don't talk nonsense."
He turned around and went back to the house. Lin Yuxi laughed quietly behind him, "If you can't sleep, remember to come find me."
Chen Zhongqian didn't step on the steps firmly and almost fell down. Lin Xixi laughed so hard that he laughed so hard. It was so interesting.
Early the next morning, Chen Zhongqian and his two children were exercising in the yard, while Lin Hexi made breakfast for them. There was some movement at the back window. As soon as Lin Hexi opened the window, two black panthers jumped in.
"It's you guys who are here, where's the little Baobao?" Lin Yuxi was very happy. They came to the door just after moving in. How smart.
The female leopard nuzzled her hand and acted coquettishly. She didn't look worried at all. Lin Yuxi knew that the little leopard must be fine and probably went somewhere to play.
The male leopard held an old basket in his mouth, with a lot of flowers and plants in it. Lin Yue took it and happily took it to the yard to plant.
There is a circle of flowerbeds for planting flowers and plants in the yard, and they are half planted now. Although they will not bloom this season, if you plant them now, they will look beautiful next spring.
Chen Zhongqian ran in the yard covered in sweat and asked curiously, "Why did you bring a basket this time? Where did it come from?"
"I don't know." Lin Yue happily hoeed the soil, "I guess where it was picked up from."
Chen Zhongqian said casually, "Don't even take what others want, they won't understand."
Beside the door, two leopards licked their paws innocently, and then looked at Chen Zhongqian aggrievedly, as if to say that he had slandered them.
Chen Zhongqian raised his hands and surrendered, "Okay, okay, is it okay if I was wrong?"
