C190 Snow and Snow, TianNing Hui, Return to the House (Part II)

Xu Mingwei thought back to the first time she met him, when she was eighteen years old. Ten years had passed now, but Tie Tou's appearance had not changed much.

Tie Tou's face was dark, it was hard to tell the color of his face, he only stuttered, "This servant is alone, I'm used to living my life alone, I dragged a good family girl down for no reason."

Xu Mingwei faked, "Since that's the case, poor men of the world need not get wives. That made no sense! You are not sick nor are you in pain, and you have hands and feet. Or do you not like the girl in this room?

Tie Tou's ears suddenly turned red when she said the words. If one did not look carefully, it would be impossible to tell.

"Originally, Wan Rou had set her eyes on you, and I thought that I could accomplish a good deed, but who would have known that you would actually have someone in your heart, that you cannot marry? If you don't want to say it, and you bury your own worries, I won't force you. However, I advise you to not say anything and just wait. Your life will be over just like that. That old man still doesn't know that you have her in your heart. "

He realized that he was being nosy and trying to get to the bottom of things. Xu Mingwei immediately stopped and waved Tie Tou out of the courtyard.

She then sighed with emotion at the fact that she still had a lovestruck person by her side, somewhat envious of the girl that Tie Tou had taken to heart. Even though he was only a coachman, he would have one or two benefits every month. It would be easy to be a wife, not to mention the level 1 servant Wan Rou in her room, who was waiting to marry him. Tie Tou actually endured it, waiting for someone who he could not even hope for with an empty body. He was twenty-eight years old, and should be able to raise four children with quick movements.

Seeing her startled expression, Old Lai advised, "Grandmother is going back now?" It's been a while. It's been very cold. "

Xu Mingwei came back to reality and smiled at her, then replied, "I'll listen to Aunt, I'll go back now."

Snow suddenly began to fall in the middle of the path. The snow rustled as it fell onto the stone floor. The ground beneath their feet creaked.

"This damn weather, it's already the beginning of spring, and it's actually snowing. I'm afraid the crops on the ground won't be good this year." The Old Lai family member scolded lightly. He did not forget to hold Xu Mingwei's cape in her hands as he laughed, "Fortunately Lady Jin was thoughtful when we came out and changed to this one with the hood. Otherwise, it would have caused a ruckus again at night."

The Lady Jin didn't say a word even when people praised her. She only observed the road carefully and supported Xu Mingwei all the way home.

Xu Mingwei looked at Lady Jin's body for a while before retracting her gaze. None of the people in her room had much to say about being diligent and careful, but she was the only one who was mysterious. Ju Nan and Wei Bao were only joking in the beginning, but even if they checked seriously later on, they wouldn't be able to find anything else. The neighbors only knew that the Lady Jin's house was used to making medicinal herbs and usually stayed in seclusion. They did not see her around once every year and there was no way they could find out about the situation in her house.

Being disturbed by Ju Nan and Wei Bao, Xu Mingwei couldn't help but become curious about the Lady Jin. However, considering that every family had their own problems, if she wasn't willing to speak of them, it wouldn't be good for her to carelessly ask about them. At the end of the day, the two of them only had a relationship of employment. As long as they did their jobs well, she wouldn't care about the people around them.

Seeing that it was snowing, Wan Rong remembered that Xu Mingwei and the others did not bring any umbrellas, so she quickly called for Bi Tao and the others to come over to pick them up, and the two of them met halfway on the road. She was busy at the moment trying to shield Xu Mingwei from the wind and rain, causing her to laugh, "Alright, it's just a few steps away, and with Big Hairy's clothes and hat blocking me, I won't be able to eat the cold. We should just walk closer and quickly pack up the stove. Let Nanny Xu flip a few yams and we'll roast them in the ashes. "

When Peaches heard what was being eaten, she also became happy. She tossed the umbrella to the old man's family and ran back. "Grandmother, that servant will go greet Xu mama first."

Old Lai's mouth twitched as he scolded, "But I can tell, this is the one with the sports car in his mouth. The moment she sees something, it will rain. We can't just let her say that she can eat it!" "What's going on with you throwing away your master and running back in this snow?"

When she said it, both Xu Mingwei and Xu Mingwei started laughing, "She has always been like this, she's not going to be any good."

Lady Jin pursed her lips, there was a smile in her eyes, but in the eyes of the onlookers, she only had that cold expression.

After entering the courtyard for a while, the interior of the house was indeed quite warm. The snowflakes on their hair and eyelashes immediately turned into water. It was ice-cold as it slid down their necks. It was so cold that it made them feel cold.

Wan Rou passed over a hot handkerchief to wipe everyone's face. She looked at the sky worriedly and said, "This snow doesn't come out of nowhere. Young Master didn't bring an oil umbrella when she went out earlier."

Xu Mingwei's eyes darkened, and said: "Who cares what he is, men's bodies are always better than ours, and in the rainy day, she refused to use an umbrella, we are so bored that we are panicking!"

Wan Rong glared at Wan Rou from the side, and since she couldn't bring herself to bring up the subject, she started to laugh and lead the conversation elsewhere. Only then did the room become lively once again.

As expected, Nanny Xu found two baskets of sweet potatoes and taro, and taught them all to Wan Rong and the rest. Meng Ting and Meng Yang were used to suffering at home. Due to Xu Mingwei's usual amiability, when they came to the Fu Clan to do chores, it seemed like they were having fun. Gradually, some of the naive naughty girls at their age could be seen. At this moment, smelling the faint sweet smell in the air, she was holding her cheeks and waiting anxiously. Seeing that, Wan Rong could not help but laugh, "Don't the farmers' families eat them often, why are they greedy now? On the other hand, the master that I have chosen for you is not good, so I brought out two greedy people. "

Peaches was also shot while lying down. She innocently blinked, "Big sis said that people are around me again."

Xu Mingwei and the others could not hold back their laughter, and heard Meng Ting say weakly: "When it's winter, other than the rations at home, you have to seal them up and grow them."

Meng Yang also nodded her head, and said, "The sweet potatoes in my house are being fed to pigs, so I sell them for a few coins during New Year's Day slaughtering. In a pot of sweet potato porridge eaten by humans, let alone some white rice, even sweet potatoes are scarce. "

Everyone present like Wan Rong and the others, had been bought into the Xu family since they were five or six years old. Hearing Meng Yang's words, she sighed for a while. Being a child outside was much better than being a slave inside. It was no wonder that there were so many people who sold women in this world. If they could live a decent life, who would be willing to let their flesh and blood be separated?

Just as everyone was feeling sad and silent, Lady Jin suddenly said warmly, "It smells like it's cooked. Grandmother is in good health. If you want to eat, eat some.

Nanny Xu remembered his unlucky son and daughter, they did not go during the famine, their eyes were a little red. She turned her back to wipe her tears and laughed, "Remembering that there was still a half a basket of chestnuts hanging at the back, left over after drying up, I will not keep any stewed chicken, today we will eat it all!"

Ju Nan hurriedly chased after him. Along the way, he could still hear her talking to the Nanny Xu, asking which house girder was hanging from, and then asking if she wanted to use Qing Gong to get it. It was extremely lively.

Xu Mingwei waved at Wan Rou, "There are still some Cloud Piece Cake and Pine Sugar in the house, take them all out and heat them up to eat."

Peaches' eyes lit up when she heard this.

In just that short period of time, Wei Bao had already picked up a few small sweet potatoes and taro from the pile of ashes and poked them with his chopsticks. He picked one up and went into the bowl in front of Xu Mingwei, then separated Meng Yang and Meng Ting. She smiled, "Blow a little before eating, if not your mouth will be so hot that you won't be able to eat anything."

He picked one up and held it in his hand. He blew it like he was playing a game. Despite the calluses on his hands, they were all scalding hot. Wan Rou took the candy out from inside, and when she saw it she couldn't help but laugh, "Serves you right! All these aunties are here, yet you're not asking them? If you want to taste the sweetness first, you're really scalding it, aren't you? "

Everyone knew that Wei Bao was just teasing, so they did not expose him. Old Lai dug out the leftovers from the pile of ashes and joked, "There's no need for her to ask, we can also eat them ourselves."

At this time, Wei Bao had already opened up the roasted sweet potatoes in his hands, and the air was immediately filled with a strong sweet smell, tempting everyone to eat, and not be able to hold themselves back anymore.

Seeing Xu Mingwei reaching out to take the sweet potato, Wan Rou immediately put it down and said, "Grandmother, this servant will peel it first."

Xu Mingwei laughed and dismissed her, she was not afraid of the dust on the roasted sweet potatoes, she cooled down her own skin and said, "There's no size in the house today, go eat your own."

Hearing her words, Wan Rou could only choose to sit at the side of Meng Yang. Unable to resist the temptation, he also picked up a sweet potato from the ground. He had been planning to pull it out for a while now, but now that he held it in his hand, he felt that it was hot. It wasn't like anything else, it was soft and hard to throw away. Helpless, he was like Wei Bao, with his hands full of energy, causing everyone to laugh out loud.

The ones who had moved earlier had already started eating. The taste wasn't very sweet, it was just an aroma. Xu Mingwei saw that no one had moved the taro below, and that Meng Yang had almost finished eating, so she told her to go to the kitchen and get some powdered sugar and honey so that everyone could dip their taro into the water and eat it.

After Nanny Xu and Ju Nan brought the chestnuts over, everyone was already half full. They were no longer as anxious as they were before and they started to slowly roast the chestnuts by the fire pincers. He was afraid that the chestnut would explode. Before going on fire, he had used a pair of scissors to cut it, and when he looked at its bulging skin, it was almost on fire. The two little girls did not believe what they were seeing and continued to secretly roast the fire. The result was that the house was full of them, and they were pinched in the ears by the Old Lai Family to teach them a lesson. It was Xu Mingwei who finally spoke and spared them.
