Chapter 280 The dustpan has become a spirit!
The old lady finally caught her naughty granddaughter, checked her little feet and found they were not punctured, so she was about to take her to wash her feet.
"I'll go, Auntie." Mrs. Cui took the good news, kissed her chubby cheek, and said, "Auntie, do you want to steam bean stuffed buns?"
"Yes," the old lady replied: "Yuru is short of red beans. I asked her to take away all the ones at home, but there is nothing left to eat at home. When I go to Aunt Wu's house to beg for some, It’ll be cooked in a moment.”
“Auntie, don’t go. I have planted a lot of crops in my farm. I just asked Sister-in-law Qiong to go back to do some work and bring some more with me.”
"That's great," the old lady said without being polite, "You can have dinner at home, don't cook. You still have to eat the bean stuffed steamed buns freshly baked, they are soft and sweet."
Jiayin listened to their gossip and went to the basin to test the water temperature, but was stunned when she put her head in.
Who is this black girl reflected in the water? ! Black and fat, he looked like a black bear that had become a spirit.
“Wow!” she cried at that time.
Mrs. Cui and the old lady were frightened. They quickly lifted her up and looked at her carefully, "What's wrong? The water is too hot and it's still a mosquito bite!"
“Woo, grandma, Fu Niu has become ugly, dark, so dark!”
Jiayin cried so sadly. We had so much fun before, but now we feel so regretful.
How come she has forgotten the lesson of showing off her yin and yang face in spring!
The old lady couldn’t laugh or cry when she heard this, so she patted her granddaughter’s fat butt.
“You little girl, you’re only two years old, how do you know you’re beautiful and ugly?! Just be darker, no one dislikes you!”
“No, no, it’s too ugly!” Jiayin shook her head like a rattle, getting more and more sad.
Who can understand the little fat girl’s love for beauty?
Just when Li Zhensheng came back from outside, he was frightened when he saw his little niece crying pitifully, so he quickly held her in his arms and comforted her.
Hearing that his niece cried because of her ugliness, he couldn't stop laughing, "If Fu Niu doesn't cry, she will hide at home and play with her uncle for a few days and she will turn white. Besides, no matter how dark you are, can you still be as dark as Brother Cat?" He couldn't tell them apart even if they were thrown into the ditch."
Orange Mrs. Li and Mrs. Cui couldn't stop laughing when they thought of Brother Cat.
Before they could say anything, Sister-in-law Qiong came in from the outside with half a bag of red beans and a box of snacks in her hand. "Madam, I picked up a box of peanut cakes that were just baked in our stove and brought them back to the lady." eat."
“Okay, okay, you came just in time.” Mrs. Cui quickly gave the snacks to Jiayin.
Jiayin munched on the snacks, sweetened her mouth, and her tears came back as expected.
But she was sitting in her uncle's arms, and she didn't forget to pull up his sleeves and cover her head.
It seems that in this way, you can make up for it and turn white quickly.
Everyone tried their best to endure it and snickered from time to time.
Seeing that the children were not there, Sister-in-law Qiong whispered: "Madam, I met Mr. Wen on the way and sent someone to deliver a message. Tomorrow... tomorrow Wang E will be dispatched to the southwest and will set off."
Everyone was stunned for a moment. Before they could say anything, Old Mrs. Li jumped up, climbed up the wall and started to look through a basket.
Li Zhen was afraid that my mother would fall, so he stood below and advised me, "Mom, just scold me when you are angry. Don't do this. Be careful if you fall and hurt yourself."
Mrs. Li quickly got off the wall, glared at her son and cursed, "That **** has nothing to do with you for messing with me! I'm telling you, tomorrow you and Brother Cat will both be at home, just pretend you don't know about it. , I asked the fourth child to pull me into the city."
How dare Li Zhensheng refuse to agree? He nodded immediately, "Okay, mother, as long as you are happy, anything can happen!"
Jiayin rolled her eyes a few times and guessed that her grandma was going to seek bad luck on Wang E, so she wanted to go along and watch the fun.
But she had already cried and made a fuss, and grandma was angry again. It was really hard to act coquettishly now.
She thought for a while and then sneaked to the next yard. Of course she didn't forget to pull a dustpan as a bamboo hat and put it on her head to block the sun.
The Marquis was sitting on the kang, dealing with some paperwork, with the window open to let in the wind. Occasionally, when he looked up, he saw a bean dustpan with a pair of fat legs running in from the outside of the yard.
He squirted out the tea in a sip, laughing so hard that his back almost broke. "Open the door, cough, Ye Shan, open the door! There is a dustpan spirit coming in!"
Ye Shan saw that his mistress suddenly choked on his tea. He didn’t know what was going on, so he hurried to open the door. When he saw Jiayin holding the dustpan, he laughed so hard that he couldn’t stand up. “Miss, what are you doing...”
Jiayin put down the dustpan, grimaced, and rushed towards the Marquis, "Father, wuwu, Fu Niu doesn't want to live anymore! Fu Niu has become ugly, and no one likes Fu Niu anymore!"
The Marquis quickly picked up the girl, held her in his arms, and asked in a hoarse voice, "What's going on? Who said our Fu Niu is ugly?"
Ye Shan also quickly soaked the wet towel and handed it over.
Master Hou wiped the fat girl's face. If he looked carefully, he could only hold back his laughter with great effort.
No wonder the little girl is sad, she has indeed gained a lot of weight and darkened a lot in the past half month!
But you can’t say it so directly, you can only coax.
Fortunately, Good News didn't really come here just to cry about this matter. After a few words, he borrowed the donkey from Poxia and started talking about "business".
"Fu Niu is not happy, so she can go to the city to play. But grandma only takes daddy, not Fu Niu!"
The Marquis thought about it for a while, guessed a bit, and said, "It just so happens that my adoptive father has to go back to the Marquis Mansion to do some errands. Why don't you go back with your adoptive father?"
"Okay, okay." The good news fulfilled his wish, his eyes lit up, he nodded hurriedly, hugged the Marquis's arm and said coquettishly, "Father is the best, Fu Niu will take care of you when you grow up."
House Hou and Ye Shan both laughed.
It happened that the old lady had lost her granddaughter, so she hurriedly looked for her granddaughter. When the Marquis said that he would take Fu Niu into the city tomorrow, there was something else she could not guess.
So, she glared at her granddaughter, helpless, "This girl, no matter where the excitement is, she can't be left behind!"
Jiayin shrank her neck and crawled into the Marquis's arms, causing the Marquis to laugh again.
"Aunt, don't blame Fu Niu. Children love to be lively. It's their nature. I'm going back tomorrow too. Aunt, why don't you take Fu Niu in my carriage and take Fu Niu to our Marquis Mansion for a walk, and then join me in the evening? Come back together."
Thinking that the village was busy and the fourth child was always absent from work, the old lady agreed.
Early on the next morning, Mrs. Li got into the Marquis's carriage carrying a basket and good news.
The bay red horse kicked and kicked the carriage and left the village. Except for Uncle Zhao and a few other people in charge of patrol, the rest of the villagers didn't know.
Jiayin wore a curtain hat and refused to take it off even in the carriage, determined to cover her dark face.
At this moment, she turned her little head and looked around, but she always felt that something smelled wrong, but after being patted twice by the Marquis, she calmed down.
Xindu was also surprisingly lively this morning. Many people gathered from the government office to the city gate.
There are even hawkers seizing the business opportunity, carrying baskets and selling some steamed buns and pancakes.
Some people bought steamed buns and ate them while chatting with others.
“Brother, you are here too.”
“Isn’t it? How can you not come and see such a great excitement?”
"You said that Wang E is about to be sent to the banquet, so the Wang family still can't show up? Logically speaking, the Wang family usually protects the weak. Even if they can't save people, they always come to see her off and take care of her!"
"You don't know this? I heard that the Wang family is also in trouble and now they have too much time to take care of themselves."
“What’s the trouble?”
In the midst of these discussions, the side door of the government office finally opened.
I'm really sorry that I was delayed for a while because of something today. I'll try to come in as early as possible in the future. The third update is here~~
