Dressed as a farmer's little blessing, the road to escape the deserted

Before begging Lord Hou and the Li family, there were thirty soldiers who wanted to settle down in Ercun, but more than half of them were unmarried.

Going back this time, only six families managed to bring their wives, children and family members here...

But there are more than 20 people in these six families, including the elderly and children, which suddenly made the Second Village more lively.

The row houses have been built a long time ago, and today all the wooden utensils were pulled back.

After the tables, chairs and benches are set up, the old men in the village support each family with a few baskets and baskets, and put them in the yard, which makes life easier.

The family members of the six soldiers moved in directly, sitting in the new house, feeling that the new house was unexpectedly good!

The rest of the soldiers also lived in the row houses next door. There are ten people in a family, and they are all spacious and bright.

Coincidentally, Tao Hongying and the others couldn't find any free space in the village, so they installed a simple workshop for baking mooncakes, calculating that there were a few more rooms in the row house that would not be needed for the time being.

The sky above the entire Second Village was enveloped in sweet fragrance. The women in the village came in and out, and the naughty boys also gathered here to play, which made the Second Village even more popular!

Xiaocui and Wei Erniu moved here a long time ago, so they inevitably became the "senior" in the second village.

Xiaocui helped the women of various families settle down, and also briefed them on the general situation in and outside the village.

After hearing that mooncakes are being baked in the village, which costs 2000 yuan, all the newcomers, old and young, are amazed, and have a more intuitive feeling for the abundance of Suijintan.

Early the next morning, Xiaocui took the women from various families to the Li family compound to meet her.

The women of each family were worried about what gifts to give to the Li family, so Xiaocui asked them to bring some dried mushrooms or special dried fruits.

They were a little apprehensive, and felt that this gift was too simple...

It happened that Mrs. Li, Tao Hongying and Mrs. Wen were looking for materials to make some needlework for the unborn children.

By the way, I also dry the fur at home, and prepare to modify it, and it will come in handy in the cold weather.

When the women came in, Mrs. Li was taking a piece of white fox fur, thinking about making a cloak for her granddaughter.

Mrs. Li was only wearing a cotton dress, with her hair tied in a simple bun and a silver hairpin. It was very simple, and only the jade bracelet on her wrist looked like it was valuable.

Everyone was surprised, after all, she was a first-class imperial wife, almost no different from ordinary wealthy old ladies.

Look at Tao Hongying, the general's wife, who also wears simple dresses and doesn't wear too much jewelry.

The accompanying guest, Mrs. Wen, was more elegantly dressed, but she also had a gentle smile on her face, without any arrogance.

You know, when women came back from their hometowns, that is, girls who served as concubines for rich families in the village, they always looked at people with their nostrils.

This Li family... seems really different!

Mrs. Li invited the women to sit down and gossip together, and asked how many people in the family were missing after they settled down. !

In the end, they were all entrusted to Xiaocui to take care of them, so that Xiaocui could just speak up if there was anything to do.

The men of each family are on errands with Lord Hou, and the stability of the family is to stabilize the rear, and not to hold back the men.

The woman naturally agreed repeatedly.

Before leaving, Mrs. Li asked Nanny He to take out the meeting gift that she had prepared a long time ago, a piece of fine cotton material for the whole family, enough for an adult to make a body suit, or two sets of clothes for a child.

Then, the family also had a box of dim sum, which Jiayin had brought back from the shop in the city.

Jiayin was changing her teeth, and Mrs. Li was afraid that her granddaughter's teeth would be rotten at this time, so she simply gave them away, out of sight and out of mind.

The women thanked her, and followed Xiaocui out of the new village. They didn't dare to chatter until they left the entrance of the village.

"My second dog's father said that Mrs. Li is very kind, I still can't believe it, I didn't expect it to be true.

"It's also an elderly person, Mrs. Li is too kind when talking and laughing, and when I think about my mother-in-law, I can see the sky scolding people, wishing that every sentence is the same!"

A daughter-in-law in her 20s spoke quickly, and everyone who listened laughed.

Another woman in her 40s scolded, "Can it be the same? Your mother-in-law is partial to your brother-in-law's family and treats your family as a thorn in her side, so naturally she scolds you every day!"

"Mrs. Li is blessed. No son or daughter-in-law is unfilial. As long as a bowl of water is flat on weekdays, the family life will be prosperous and harmonious!"

"Let's not talk about this, we will be out of the sea of ​​suffering in the future. The men will be working under Lord Hou, so we should be more diligent, and with the support of the Li family, life will be better soon." A woman with an old face Said.

She was the most tortured by her husband's family before, and now she is talking, her eyes are red.

Everyone sympathized with each other, patted her on the shoulder, and said a few words of comfort.

But there was also the youngest daughter-in-law who asked in a low voice: "Didn't you say that the Li family is the richest? They only sell melons for tens of thousands of taels a year. Why did you give us a piece of cloth and a box?" dessert……"

Is this a dislike for the lack of things from the Li family?

Everyone frowned, and subconsciously took two steps away from this little daughter-in-law.

Xiao Cui thought for a while, then said, "Sister-in-law Sanhu, when you moved here, what did your mother's family give, what did your in-law's do?"

The little daughter-in-law who was called Sanhu's sister-in-law was stunned for a moment, and replied hesitantly: "My married daughter, of course, my mother's family will not give me the water that was poured out. My husband's family... gave me two pairs of bowls and chopsticks..."

Xiao Cui'er smiled, and said bluntly: "The Li family is not your natal family, nor your husband's family. Is it enough to give you fabrics and snacks?"

The little daughter-in-law blushed, and quickly waved her hands to explain, "No, I'm not, I'm just..."

It's a pity that everyone could see that she was a bit conceited and calculating, and she was unwilling to make more conversations, so they all smiled and answered vaguely, and then quickly walked into their respective courtyards.

The little daughter-in-law was a little aggrieved, and looked at Xiaocui again, who pointed to the yard where the mooncakes were temporarily baked, "I'll go and get busy, we'll talk about it later."

Hui Niang was in the yard, bringing seven or eight women busy baking mooncakes.

In fact, it is not difficult to bake mooncakes. The noodles and fillings are fully prepared, wrapped, pressed into molds, and then put on the baking tray.

But taking care of the fire is a delicate job, not for ordinary people!

Hui Niang was worried about others, and she was afraid that a lot of ingredients would be wasted if the oven was burnt, so she stayed here almost from morning till night.

When the twins were naughty, she tied them to the door frame with cloth straps.

When Xiao Cui entered the courtyard, she quickly replaced Hui Niang.

Huiniang wiped off her sweat beads, and then rescued the pair of children, and took them to play for a while.

Hui Niang was careful, and she saw that Xiao Cui was not in the right place, so she asked, "What's the matter, do you still have something on your mind when you go out? You can watch the fire carefully, don't ruin this mooncake!"

Xiaocui quickly regained her senses, whispered what happened just now, and then sighed: "Sister-in-law, why do you think this person is different?

"When Erniu and I come to the village, we have a place to stay, we can eat and wear warm clothes, and we don't have to be beaten and scolded. I can laugh in my dreams. But they... have the old lady's things, and they don't think so much, really..."

She wants to scold a few words, but she has a simple and honest temper, and she really can't!
