Miao Chuhe took Tong Yu'er into the room to put things away, and by the way, ventilated and cleaned the room, and took out the bedding and pillows to air dry. These things can only be done after they come back, counting on Xia Shi? Miao Chuhe never thought about it.
"Yu'er, I've wronged you, and endure these two days patiently!" Miao Chuhe couldn't help holding Tong Yu'er's hand and said guiltily due to the musty smell in the room.
Tong Yu'er had already sneezed loudly several times, but she shook her head with a smile, and said softly: "Chuhe, it's okay, I don't feel wronged at all, really." The husband and wife looked at each other and smiled.
The two of them cleaned up the house, and Lu Xiaoshu sat by the brazier in the main room to warm himself up. Mrs. Xia had gone back to her room to rest, and Miao Tianbao was sitting beside the brazier with a dark face. Lu Xiaoshu rested his chin on both hands, and stared at Miao Tianbao with great interest with his big black eyes, and Miao Tianbao felt more and more disgusted after staring at her, so he glared back at her viciously. Unexpectedly, Lu Xiaoshu was not afraid, but instead laughed at him. Miao Tianbao was so angry that he couldn't help it.
Miao Tianbao felt that sitting here was a kind of torture, so he got up and strode out, not knowing which cronies he went to hang out with.
Miao Chuhe and Tong Yu'er came out of the room, seeing that their mother and son were gone, they couldn't help but feel relieved, smiled and told Lu Xiaoshu to warm up the fire in the room obediently, be careful not to let the sparks splash on his body, and then started back and forth clean up.
The yard was a mess, and so was the house. It is said that at the end of the year, there will be a thorough housecleaning at home to clean up the inside and outside for the new year, but Mrs. Xia is too lazy to do it by herself, and specially left the work to the couple. The workload is not insignificant .
I worked until the sun was setting, and then I managed to clean up and tidy up. There was a lot of rubbish waiting to be sorted out. Miao Chuhe said: "It's getting late, you should go and cook! I'm fine here."
Tong Yu'er nodded her head and said "yes", then washed her hands and went to the kitchen to steam the rice, and then picked up the basket to pick vegetables in the vegetable garden. When Lu Xiaoshu saw her, he also clamored to go with her. When she was at Lu's house, she also took care of the cooking, so she wouldn't be unable to do anything. Since Mrs. Xia didn't say anything, then she could do as she wanted.
"Little aunt, why don't you ask the old lady what to cook tonight! What if she doesn't like what she cooks and she blames you!" Lu Xiaoshu said. Xia Shi is afraid that she will hold back her energy and want to find fault with them, so it's better to ask clearly about everything! You can't give someone a handle.
Tong Yu'er was awakened by her words, nodded and said: "Xiao Shu is right, but—" But she is still sleeping in the room, wouldn't it be good to disturb her like this
Lu Xiaoshu smiled and said: "Little aunt is waiting for me, I will go and ask my little aunt!"
Tong Yu'er was overjoyed, and laughed quickly: "Xiao Shu is so good!"
Lu Xiaoshu ran over with his calf and pushed the door of Xia Shi's room, Xia Shi didn't lock the door, Lu Xiaoshu knocked on the door and called "grandmother" and went in directly.
"Who is it?" Mrs. Xia was lying on the bed, and when she heard this, she raised her body and squinted to look over, seeing that it was Lu Xiaoshu, she fell asleep again, and said lazily, "What are you doing here?"
"My little aunt asked me to ask the old woman what to cook for dinner! My little aunt is afraid that the cooking will not suit the old woman's wishes, so she dare not make the decision." Lu Xiaoshu said.
Mrs. Xia snorted and said angrily: "It's really useless, you come to ask me about such a trivial matter! Randomly fry two vegetables, cut a knife and steam it with bacon! I just ordered it casually today, and tomorrow is the New Year's Eve!" Actually Xia family was eager to let the two of them eat plain rice, where would they take out something delicious
"Oh!" Lu Xiaoshu said quickly, "Steam the bacon and stir-fry two vegetables, right? I'll tell my little aunt!" After speaking, he turned around and ran away again.
Tong Yu'er smiled and took her hand, and the two went to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables together.
After washing the dishes, Tong Yuer kept busy in the kitchen, Lu Xiaoshu moved a small stool and sat by the door of the stove to help watch the fire, chatting and laughing with Tong Yuer without saying a word. When Miao Tianbao came back, he poked his head out of the kitchen by accident. When he saw Lu Xiaoshu, he was filled with disgust, turned around and walked away with a snort. Tong Yuer secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At dinner time, Miao Tianbao sat next to Tong Yuer whether intentionally or unintentionally, he was just thinking about it and took advantage of the opportunity, but Lu Xiaoshu moved a stool over to jump in line, and said bluntly: "Uncle, go to the side Go a little bit, I want to sit next to my little aunt, I want my little aunt to feed me."
Miao Tianbao was very annoyed, and reluctantly moved a little to the side with a cold face, scolding Lu Xiaoshu in his heart. Lu Xiaoshu didn't bother to care about it, and sat beside Tong Yu'er cheerfully.
Both Tong Yu'er and Miao Chuhe breathed a sigh of relief, if Lu Xiaoshu hadn't followed, it's hard to say what kind of thing Miao Tianbao would have done. When he was eating, he rubbed against him, what else could Tong Yu'er do but swallow her anger? In this kind of thing, women will always suffer. Even if there is a quarrel, it will be her who will ruin her reputation. As for Miao Tianbao, what reputation does he have
Lu Xiaoshu didn't see anything outside. If she wanted to eat this or that, she asked Tong Yuer to pick up the food for her. Her small arm accidentally bumped Miao Tianbao, so that Miao Tianbao had to move a lot to the side. I was so depressed after eating, how could I have the time to think about anything else? Even Tong Yu'er didn't take a second look.
Miao Tianbao couldn't bear it anymore, and after the meal, he said with a sullen face: "It's not good to bring the girl from other people's family to our house for the New Year's Eve, isn't it? You should send her away tomorrow!"
"I don't want to go," Lu Xiaoshu put his arms around Tong Yu'er's neck and said, "I want my little aunt, unless my little aunt comes with me! My mother said that I can celebrate the New Year with my little aunt."
"Yeah, Xiao Shu is very obedient and doesn't make trouble. What's the point of staying, a child?" Miao Chuhe also said.
Xia frowned, she could tell that this little girl was here to make trouble, and since this little girl came, her son's face has never looked good for a moment. But this little girl's face is really thick enough, she refuses to leave anyway, can he still throw her out? To be serious with such a big doll, and it's the New Year's Eve, if she starts to cry and make a scene, wouldn't it be ugly
"Let's stay, just stay, just be obedient and don't make trouble!" Xia Shi was not angry, and said to Miao Chuhe and Tong Yu'er: "I have something important to tell you two! After the third month of the new year, Abao You are about to get married, and you are big brothers and sisters-in-law, shouldn't you show something?"
Miao Chuhe said: "It should be said that the mother of the family can dispose of the family property at will, and I have no opinion on how much I spend on this matter. I will take the township examination next year, and this year's homework will be very tight , I’m afraid I won’t be able to help you at that time! Yu’er has signed a contract with her, so I don’t know if she will be free then!”
Xia sneered and said, "So you just let go of it?"
"What are you talking about, mother?" Miao Chuhe said lightly: "Didn't I say that? The mother of the family can arrange this matter at will, including my share. How many brothers can do it?" What about my share?"
Miao Tianbao was not happy after hearing this, and said angrily: "You don't need to say that? The family property is ours, and if we want to move it, what else can you say?"
Miao Chuhe smiled slightly, and said to Xia: "It seems that father didn't drive me out of the house, did he?"
Tong Yu'er looked at Miao Chuhe with pity and tenderness, and Lu Xiaoshu screamed in his heart: Ahhh, the best, the best, this pair of mother and son is really the best! My little uncle is now the head of the family, right? How dare this rascal bastard speak so brazenly! The little uncle is too lazy to care about them, hehe, in a few years, I will see if my sister will kill them...
The Xia family hit a snag without being soft or hard, and couldn't help being very annoyed. She snorted and said nothing, "Where is there any savings in the family? Your father left and I'm a woman who manages the house. , you study in the academy all day long without earning any money, and your father’s leftovers have already been spent! You can find a way to borrow one or two hundred taels of silver! Don’t the third uncle and the others say that you are good at studying? Are you sure you will be successful in the future? When you get rich in the future, you can pay someone else back! The one who is going to marry is not someone else, but your own younger brother! The elder brother is like a father, this is not for nothing!"
Tong Yu'er's face turned pale with anger, she trembled slightly and remained silent, Lu Xiaoshu just felt like looking up to the sky and laughing three times, shameless, really shameless!
However, Miao Chuhe had already calmed down. He had heard of this kind of words a long time ago, and he didn't bother to argue with Xia Shi after hearing the words, so he said, "I'll try, I can't guarantee whether I can borrow it."
He knew well, didn't the Xia family just want him to ask his sister to borrow money? Anyway, it is impossible for her Xia family to pay it back. It is tantamount to asking her elder sister to give money to marry Miao Tianbao. Her wishful thinking is too loud!
It's clearly a prevarication! Xia Shi was not happy anymore, frowned and said: "You are not willing to take on such a trivial matter? What's the use of you as an elder brother?"
"Don't mother know how capable I am?" Miao Chuhe was still lukewarm, and said with a faint smile: "I have been studying in the academy all these years, and I really don't know much about the world and the world. Mother is so worried!"
"If you don't have money, why should I worry about it!" Xia Shi was angry, and said bitterly: "Miao Chuhe, don't think that you are a great scholar! You still have to call me mother!"
Miao Chuhe was still lukewarm, and said slowly: "I didn't say you were not?"
Xia Shi was so angry that his face turned blue and white, and he was extremely annoyed. But she had nothing to do with Miao Chuhe. Miao Chuhe didn't ask her for a penny to go to school, so there is no such thing as cutting off her financial resources. If she wanted to find an excuse to make him stop studying when he came back, those old people in the Miao family would be the first to agree! Unless, she died, he had to keep mourning for three years...
Of course, it is impossible for her to die.
