Chapter 221 Something unexpected happened
Li Dani and the five of them had already eaten. Noon was the hottest time, and the wife said they were prone to heatstroke and were not allowed to work, so after lunch they usually collected the dishes and washed them before returning to the house.
Hearing the knock on the door, Li Dani got up and ran quickly to open the door.
When Shui Qing heard the banging on the door, she knew it was a moth.
Mother Hu and Qin Yilin also stopped talking and laughing, and waited with calm expressions.
Before Li Dani went to open the door, Shui Qing had told him in advance not to take people to the teahouse, but to bring them directly here - the teahouse has good tea and freshly made yam cakes, so outsiders should not be taken advantage of.
But I didn't expect that the moth came not just by itself, but also by recruiting helpers, coming in groups!
Not only Aunt Zhang came, but her daughter Zhang Chunhua also came, along with her sister-in-law Sun Jinhua, Fan Sanzhu and Fan Sizhu.
"Second aunt."
"Brothers and sisters."
"From the Fan family."
After calling the person, all five people's eyes fell on Liangpi on the boxwood table, and the sound of swallowing was particularly clear.
Shui Qing was glad that she didn't make a large table of dishes at noon like before, only simple cold noodles, which wouldn't be too conspicuous.
However, this cold skin was filled with vinegar and chili oil, which made it sour and spicy, which made several people stare straight at it.
Qin Yilin and Sun Jinhua's family have never dealt with it, and now they pretended not to notice, picking up their own bowls and eating cold skin.
Mother Hu was not as polite as before, and followed Qin Yilin to finish the rest of the bowl in a few mouthfuls.
"What kind of novelty is this? It looks so delicious." Aunt Zhang swallowed her saliva and said greedily.
Several people waited for Shui Qing to treat them politely, and then took advantage of the situation to eat a bowl.
Shui Qing said calmly: "It's not a good thing."
Then he looked at the children and said with a straight face: "If you don't want to eat, hurry up. Jiajia only made this. If you don't eat, you will lose it."
The children on the table who hadn't finished eating quickly put their food in their mouths.
Sun Jinhua was anxious, and stepped forward in three or two steps. She only dared to drag her daughter Fan Zhaodi, and said angrily: "You child, leave a mouth for your mother and brother!"
A few days ago, Uncle Huang and Uncle Huang took away a lot of food. From that day on, the food at home began to be halved. She could only eat half full in a day, so she wanted to come over during meal time to have a toothpaste.
Unexpectedly, Hu Shuiqing, who was mean and sour, didn't even mention that they would eat together. Hu's mother was also rude and didn't say a single polite word.
In the past, she could hit and scold Da Ya and Er Ya whenever she wanted, but things were different now, especially when there was a young man staring at her over there, as if she would pounce on Da Ya if she dared to touch Da Ya. , how could she dare to do it?
Fortunately, my daughter is here too. She can't eat from others, so there's no way she can eat from her own daughter.
Fan Zhaodi put down the bowl and chopsticks, hugged his mother's waist, and howled: "Mom, are you here to take me home? You are finally taking me home!"
Woohoo, okay, everything in my bowl is for mom and brothers to eat. As long as mommy takes me home, I will eat it all for you! "
Fan Sanzhu's hand that he stretched forward paused and then took it back.
Now the family can only eat half full a day, how can we add another mouth?
Sun Jinhua was stunned and said sarcastically: "You kid, what are you talking about? People who don't know think you are not having a good time at your aunt's place?"
Fan Zhaodi continued to cry: "My aunt is very good, but I am my mother's daughter, not my aunt's daughter. I can't always eat and drink for free at my aunt's place;
Mom, are you here to take me back today? Did my two brothers also come to pick me up together? "
Sun Jinhua remained silent.
It was Zhang Tuzi's family who said they had something good to do and asked her to come with them. She thought she had nothing to do at home anyway, so she might as well come over for a toothpaste ceremony.
As long as Dazhu and Erzhu come back from earning money, and then make seven or eight trips to earn another seven or eight taels of silver, they will have enough food to eat.
Taking a look at Zhaodi by the way, she forgot that she still had her own mother, but she never thought about coming to take her daughter home today!
Fan Sanzhu hurriedly advised: "Brother Zhao, we don't have enough food at home right now, so it's best for you to stay with my second aunt!"
You can't go home and snatch their food.
Fan Sizhu thought simply, it's so nice here for the second aunt. The younger brother can also sit at the table and eat, and he can still be full. Why go back and suffer?
If it were him, he wouldn't want to go back! Just stay with Second Aunt, as long as you have something to eat.
The three of them had different thoughts, but they all agreed that they no longer wanted to eat the food in Zhaodi's bowl.
Shui Qing took advantage of the situation and winked at the dolls, and asked Dajiang and Dahe to help her sister into the house, and asked Yan Qiu to carry the rice bowl over, and then rest in the house directly after eating.
Xing Hui and Fan Hu also followed, and the children immediately dispersed, leaving only 'outsiders' Ling Ran and Bai Ziqian.
Seeing Brother Fan Zhao limping away with support, Sun Jinhua breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he didn't pick her up when he left, he wouldn't send her home.
Wait a little longer, and she will come to pick up her brother when his legs are completely healed and he can work. Otherwise, not only will there be an extra mouth in the house, but he will also have to serve, which will exhaust her to death!
Li Dani and the other five women cleaned up the dishes on the dining table, took them to the kitchen to wash, and brought out a few glasses of cold drinks.
Aunt Zhang, Zhang Chunhua and the others found chairs and sat down by themselves.
Zhang Chunhua held the bamboo cup and sipped the cold white water in small sips. Her eyes were looking at the dining room, Hu's mother and the five nimble women.
She heard that Hu Shuiqing's family suddenly had many servants, including five women.
People in the village would do well if they didn't treat others as slaves. How could they ever enjoy being served by others?
These women are from Hu Shuiqing's family. After she enters the Hu family, as an elder sister, she must at least send one or two to help the Hu family. In that case, she will also have servants to serve her...
Hu's mother was also secretly watching Zhang Chunhua. Seeing that she was looking around restlessly, she immediately knew what she was looking at!
She was unhappy in her heart, but she didn't show it too much because she was a little concerned about her face.
Aunt Zhang saw Hu's mother looking at Chunhua, and her face was happy. She smiled and said, "Oh, this is my daughter Chunhua. She is exactly sixteen years old this year. Why don't you take her out for a walk? Living in the same village will make everyone familiar with each other."
The last time she came to Hu Shuiqing, she still lived in a thatched house. She only knew that a big house was built in front, and she never thought it would be so grand!
Just now, I just felt that Chunhua had a good vision. With such an elder sister taking care of her, life will definitely be better in the future.
The head of the family had offended Fan Jin and Hu Shuiqing in the past, saying that the two families would never cooperate. Ha, when Chunhua becomes her brother and sister, let's see how they dare not cooperate.
Hu's mother smiled and said nothing.
Shuiqing and Qin Yilin were the same.
Lingran and Bai Ziqian were like invisible people, just pretending that they didn't exist.
They only guarded against each other making trouble or begging for things.
Seeing Hu's mother smile, Aunt Zhang immediately straightened her back, which showed that she was very satisfied with Chunhua.
She praised Hu's mother: "Chunhua is obedient, filial and capable, and she is good at home and outside. People in our village often say that whoever marries her will be happy. Many people are staring at her before she even reaches the age of marriage."
