Huifang is a stable and capable child, and has a good relationship with her daughter. If her son really likes her, Liu Shi will naturally be happy to see her come true.
Before she could speak, Zhimin's daughter-in-law said with a long face: "Daughter-in-law Haixing, don't talk nonsense! Shuan Zhu has a good relationship with Brother Haihai, and the two families are familiar with each other. What can we do with a few words? Elders, don't talk about it, so as not to ruin the reputation of other girls!"
Hai Xing's daughter-in-law curled her lips inwardly, thinking: You are trying your best to promote your daughter, so you are not afraid of ruining your reputation? She deliberately said: "I think Huifang girl is very good. When it was so difficult last year, she had the courage to catch one or two hundred chickens and brought them back to raise. This year I raised more chickens, and I also used the money I earned last year to raise them." , I built a yard next to it to raise chickens! I heard that this girl and her sister are serving hundreds of chickens, and Sister-in-Law Shuan Zhu can't get her hands on them!"
Zhimin's daughter-in-law was so angry that her eyes were burning, she stared at her like a fighting cock and said, "I think it's good, why don't you marry your son back home? Isn't your eldest son about the same age as her?"
"What are you talking about, my son is one year younger than others! Besides, others may not be able to take a fancy to our Xiaochun..." Haixing's daughter-in-law glanced at the grass quietly having breakfast under the grape arbor, and glared at Zhimin bitterly. The daughter-in-law took a look.
Zhimin's daughter-in-law was about to say something when two righteous masters came in from the door. Liu Huifang greeted several women politely as "auntie, auntie". Several other spectators responded enthusiastically. Only Zhimin's daughter-in-law gave an innocuous "hmm" and treated Yu Hang much more affectionately.
"Sister Huifang, you're here to deliver eggs to us again? Didn't you say you don't need to deliver them? The little hens my family feeds can lay five or six eggs a day, which is enough to eat!!" Yu Xiao Cao put down the porridge bowl in his hand and won over, with reproach in his tone and a very affectionate attitude.
Liu Huifang smiled and put the basket on the stone table under the grape trellis, unceremoniously picked a half-purple and half-red grape from it, and stuffed it into her mouth without wiping it. Swallowing down the sweet and sour grapes, she said with a smile on her face: "Didn't you say you were going to make peanut and sesame shortbread yesterday? My little sister and I are greedy for the little snacks you made. If you don't want to order something, why don't you eat it all the time?" Something from your house?"
"Sister Huifang, you are too polite! Okay, since you said so, let my brother take you to the backyard to pick some peaches first, and when the shortbread is ready, you can take it back together!" Yu Xiaocao picked up the eggs Go to a basket and put the emptied basket into the elder brother's hand.
Liu Huifang snatched the basket back and said with a smile, "There are hundreds of mouths chattering around the house waiting for something to eat. How can I have time to stay here and wait for the shortbread to come out of the pan?"
With that said, he took the basket and walked out the door. Yu Xiaocao yelled at her: "Then... the shortbread will be ready later, I will ask my brother to deliver a pot to you. There are also peaches, this year's peaches are so sweet, I will let my brother give them to you later Pick a basket…”
Liu Huifang saw that she was talking to each other, and turned her head to stare at her with some embarrassment. In her smiling expression, her cheeks blushed. As if there was a vicious dog chasing her behind her, she left in a hurry.
Yu Xiaocao burst into laughter in the yard. Yu Hang nodded her small forehead, and said, "What's so funny? It makes everyone laugh!"
"Hee hee, is your heart hurting?" Yu Xiaocao squinted her big eyes, looking at him with a half-smile.
Yu Hang was a little embarrassed by her, the handsome young man was ashamed and annoyed, and reprimanded angrily: "Nonsense!!"
"Mother—big brother scolded me!!" Yu Xiaocao, the little accuser, came online, her bulging face surpassing that of the little pufferfish. After thinking about it, she said honestly, "Hmph! The shortbread will be ready later, I'll go and deliver it to Sister Huifang myself, and I won't give you a chance to be courteous!!"
"You can give it away if you want! Don't bullshit me!!" Yu Hang felt a little embarrassed as if his mind had been read through. Because Huifang's family raised chickens, Yu Hang followed his father to buy them every time, and the anxiety with Huifang became more and more. Yu Hang gradually reached the age of ignorance of Huaichun, and his impression of Huifang became more and more more profound. If he had the opportunity to speak a few words with Huifang, his heart would be full of joy. Being teased by the younger sister, he was a little more ashamed and annoyed, but he didn't feel repulsed.
After breakfast, Yu Hang walked around to the kitchen and watched Yu Xiaocao make shortbread, and she assigned the task of beating eggs. He thought for a while, and there seemed to be something missing at home today: "Huh? Why didn't you see King Yang today? Didn't you report early as usual?"
Yu Xiaocao crushed the roasted peanuts into crumbs, curled her lips and said, "He! He returned to Beijing a few days ago. You have been busy working in the melon fields these days, maybe you didn't pay attention?"
Yu Hang endured it, but he still couldn't hold it back, and complained, "Tell me, how leisurely is this Yang County King? He spends at least half a month in fiefdom. Could it be that he doesn't have a job in Beijing and doesn't have to work?"
Regarding Zhu Junyang's position and errands, Yu Xiaocao really hasn't inquired about it. After thinking about it, he guessed: "Maybe...he is just an idle county king. With a title and a fief, he can stay in his fief for a long time. There is nothing unusual, right?"
After hesitating for a moment, Yu Hang still asked: "Little sister, in the future... do you really want to marry Prince Yang?"
"If he still insists on not marrying me when I'm eighteen, then marry me! What else can I do?" A man who is willing to wait for her and protect her for so many years is considered dedicated, right? Besides, the little county king who drives away the demons, apart from being too beautiful and a little arrogant, has no major shortcomings.
Yu Hang sighed softly, and asked softly: "Little sister, do you like him? I really don't want you to wrong yourself just to protect our family..."
Yu Xiaocao stopped what she was doing, looked at him, and said in surprise: "So you think so? Don't worry, even if I don't accept the friendship of Xiaojun Wang, he will not threaten me with our family. He Not such a person! I’m still young, and I’m not sure if I like it or not. Anyway, I just don’t hate that guy! So, big brother, the guilt in your heart is completely unnecessary! Besides, I’m the kind A person who makes himself wronged?"
Yu Hang thought for a while, then shook his head lightly. Keyang County King's status made him feel that it was that guy who forced his younger sister. And as the eldest brother, he was powerless, and he always felt aggrieved and helpless in his heart.
Yu Xiaocao comforted her elder brother a few more words, and finally made his face look pale. After baking two ovens of shortbread, Yu Xiaocao sent him to Liu's house to deliver shortbread and peaches, and then went to the next door to call the manager Cherry, and asked her to deliver a box of shortbread to the other courtyard on the west mountain.
After Xiaolian inspected the pig farm, she came in from the outside. In the current pig farm, there are more than 300 pigs, which have grown to half-grown and eat an amazing amount of food every day. The hardworking children in the village would cut a few baskets of pigweed and sell them to the Yu family to earn a few copper coins for pocket money. Since King Yang sent several capable stewards and wives, Xiaocao also placed one in the pig farm, and managed the pig farm in an orderly manner, even more impressive than Xiaolian last year.
"Little sister, it's low tide now, do you still want to go diving in the sea?" Xiaolian followed Xiaocao and Zhuang Xiaomo recently, and her swimming skills have gradually improved, and her diving skills have also improved a lot.
Xiaocao wanted to go to the deep sea today to get some top-quality abalone and sea cucumber, but if Xiaolian and Zhuang Xiaomo were by her side, she couldn't do anything. She shook her head and said: "I won't go, see if the coral next door can go, call her!"
The consciousness of incompatibility between men and women is deeply rooted in the psychology of the people today. If Xiaocao doesn't go, Xiaolian will definitely not go into the sea with Zhuang Xiaomo, a lonely man and a widow, although Xiaolian is only a twelve-year-old girl, after all, men and women are different, and I am afraid that others will see and gossip .
Xiaolian thought of what Zhuang Xiaomo said yesterday that she would take her to a place rich in seafood to go diving to pick up seafood. If she suddenly changed her mind today and didn't go, I'm afraid it would be a waste of time to wait. After thinking about it, she went into the house and changed into a water mattress, then put on the clothes she usually wore outside, carried a small bamboo basket, and went to the next door to find Zhou Shanshan.
Not long after Xiaolian went out, Yu Xiaocao also quietly changed into a water mattress, and went to the beach from another direction. He found a hidden place, took off his coat and put it in the cave, and plunged into the sea like a fish. Soon, a two-meter-long blue dolphin swam over and circled happily around her, like a puppy who has only seen its owner after a long time.
Beside Xiaocao, a small golden spot of light grew bigger and bigger, gradually forming the shape of a cat. The little dolphin curiously touched Jin Nier with its long mouth, but was slapped away by the little butianshi's paw. Cats can swim, and they swim very freely. If this scene is seen by others, they must be surprised and fantastic, right
With Xiaobutianshi by his side, Xiaocao not only does not have to worry about breathing problems underwater, but also solves the pressure problem of sea water. She climbed on the back of the little dolphin, and the kitten lay on her shoulders. The three different species were more and more like diving in the deep sea.
Yu Xiaocao quickly filled the small bamboo basket at her waist. At this time, the ocean resources were too rich, and there was a kitten emitting golden light to illuminate the deep sea, so everything on the bottom of the sea could be seen so clearly. Big abalone and fat sea cucumber are available at your fingertips. Yu Xiaocao also caught a big lobster that is one meter long and is going to give her family an extra meal at night!
[Master, not far ahead, there is a huge fleet on the sea! A bit of a bad taste! ! ] Xiaobutianshi seemed to have sensed something and issued a warning.
fleet? If she remembers correctly, this should be the territorial waters of the Ming Dynasty, right? If it was a sea master of the Ming Dynasty, Xiaobutianshi would definitely not warn. No matter, go up and have a look. Yu Xiaocao, a brave little girl, patted the head of the little dolphin and pointed in the direction of the sea. The little dolphin took her all the way and swam to the surface of the sea.
