Zhang Guihua thought that in the future, she would be like the Li San-mei, and would be good to her daughters.
With a slight cool breeze, the smell of the spring sun was wrapped around their noses. It blew across the fields, climbed over the fences, sneaked into the garden, and then hung mischievously on their hair, swaying slowly and slowly.
Upon hearing that, Zhang Guihua hugged Liu Dao Xiang tightly, and said: "Don't be afraid Dao Xiang, your mother is here."
When he went into the East Room himself, and waited until Liu Sanguan put away the farm tools and ate a big bowl of cold boiled water, Liu Dafu came out of the kitchen with a basket in his left hand. Inside the basket were firecrackers, paper money, incense and three cabbages, fish, meat and chickens that had been cooked with water, and a string of white paper on his right hand.
He was just about to go out when he saw Liu Sangui coming out of the kitchen in the east when he said after a moment of hesitation, "Sangui, come with me to the back mountain to see your grandpa and grandma. Let these two elders bless your wife so she can bear a child next year."
"Hey, dad, I know." Liu Sanguan sounded extremely excited.
Liu Dao Xiang was in her kitchen washing her chopsticks with hot water when she whispered to Zhang Guihua, "Mother, aren't we just going to hang a mountain? Why does it seem like our dad is very happy? "
Wasn't Qing Ming sweeping the tomb to pay homage to his ancestors? Why did it seem like a good thing that he came to Liu Sangui's place?
Zhang Guihua sighed, but there was a smile at the corner of her eyes. "In the past, your grandpa and your mother would never let your father go to the back mountain. This matter was mostly done by your uncle and your second uncle."
"Little Uncle isn't going either?" Liu Dao Xiang felt that it was strange.
Zhang Guihua first listened to East Room's movements, not knowing what Liu Qi was doing, but it was as if he slammed something onto the table.
Why was he angry again? Liu Dao Xiang frowned as he looked at the tightly shut door of the East Room.
Zhang Guihua moistened her throat. This time, she lowered her voice so that the two of them could hear her, "Your uncle sometimes goes, sometimes he doesn't. Seeing how unhappy he was that day, this is still the first time for your father."
First round?
"Why?" Liu Dao Xiang felt that it was getting weirder and weirder.
Zhang Guihua pointed, "Your Milk doesn't allow it. You know that Your Milk and your grandpa don't like your father."
Liu Dao Xiang felt that her grandfather and mother's heart was at the armpit, just because her father didn't grow up by her side, that there was such a huge difference in relationship?
Therefore, even if Liu Dafu didn't want to eat lunch, he had to first clean up the tomb of his ancestors and clean up the weeds on the mountain before he arrived here.
When the two of them returned and set the table for dinner, Liu Qi finally brought Liu Xiaolan out of the East Room with a sad look on her face as she brought Liu Xiaolan out of the room.
"They're not back yet?"
Her voice sounded very stiff, and she should be very angry about the fact that her sons had grown up and refused to obey her orders. To Liu Qi, who always kept his word at home, this was a provocation to her family head's authority.
Everyone at the table looked at each other, not that Liu Dao Xiang had any intention to bother with her. Seeing her like that, Liu Qiuxiang started to imitate her.
Liu Sanguan didn't say anything. When he was called over by his father, his mother gave a loud snort.
Her second daughter had said that when she was going to lose her temper, she would try not to provoke her, lest she get caught in the crossfire.
His second daughter was a material for studying. Liu Qiuxiang was not bad too, but with Liu Dao Xiang as the heart of the bunch, it was not that outstanding anymore.
Liu Sanguan sat on the side and didn't hear what Liu Qi was scolding at all. He was wholeheartedly thinking about how to make his daughters understand more and read more. It was also not bad to be sensible.
There was even less of a need to mention Zhang Gui Hua, she did not even eat, and was still in West Side Room room feeding on milk, the tender Liu Chunxiang.
When Liu Qi saw that no one had answered her, the anger in his heart burned even more vigorously. He called out, "San Gui, why hasn't your elder brother and the others returned yet? Didn't he send a message home yesterday? Didn't he say that he would definitely come home during the Qingming Festival?"
They sent a message to Mrs. Liu Qi, but didn't give it to him. How did he know what was going on? On the surface, he replied, "Mother, Big Brother said he would come back after all. It's probably because it rained too much in the past, so it's not easy to leave."
These words comforted Liu Qi in time. She thought that it was possible, but she was dissatisfied with Liu Rengui and his wife. "Where are your second brother and the rest? This town was only ten miles away from his home, why hadn't he returned? You didn't pick them up? "
Liu Dao Xiang could not bear to watch any longer, this was the truly mean and sarcastic face of the Liu family. Her eldest son and second son did not return home, so what was the use of this third son whom his father did not care for and did not love?
"Milk, if you ask our dad, it will be a waste of time. He has been working in the fields with your grandpa all these days, and the person who received your uncle's trust was you, too. Why are you asking my dad?" Also, second uncle's house is quite serious, even though it's bright and clear today, he still needs to hang a mountain in the morning. It's already noon, and even if you walk, you can still walk from the town to the village two times. "
Liu Dao Xiang did not care about Liu Qi's feelings at all, and directly ripped apart the cloth. "Milk, even a stupid daughter like you can tell, this second uncle's family probably does not want to go back! Moreover, the last time I drank milk, it was to beat Second Uncle's mother to death. Second Uncle's mother also brought food to the town, so there won't be a lack of food for now.
It had to be said that Liu Dao Xiang's words were like a needle that shined with a cold light, stabbing into Mrs Liu Qi's heart.
She thought of the lost eggs. Although Liu Sun told her family to bring the pig face and meat over, those five eggs still cost around seventy to eighty percent, but she also thought about how Liu Sun said that her family's grains were bad, how she was unwilling to work hard, and how she wanted to make the grains into rice. She only wanted to be lazy so she directly used the grains to exchange them.
Maybe she could save two or three taels of silver a year. With this money, she could also save two or three ingots of snow-white silver ingot.
Thinking about it like this, she became even angrier, and sat there with a pale face, thinking to herself, second daughter-in-law has seen the world outside, and probably learned some dirty methods to control his men, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was true, otherwise, why would her obedient second son listen to only his wife?
Because Liu Qi's heart was blocked, he entered the East Room to lie down without eating lunch.
Liu Xiaolan was even more unconcerned about Liu Qi, her heart and eyes full of thoughts about how to attract that little gongzi's attention.
After lunch, Liu Xiaolan took the one and only tea set she had at home, which he used to entertain her big brother and sister-in-law every year, and brewed a cup of tea-warming for the little gongzi who was resting in the house to bring it in.
Liu Dao Xiang was holding Liu Chunxiang and playing at the bottom of the West Side Room Corridor. Liu Qiuxiang was helping him wash the plants while Zhang Guihua was using a kitchen knife to chop pig grass in an old and big wooden basin.
"Excuse me, is this Old Lady Liu's home?" A gentle voice came from the door.
Liu Dao Xiang turned her head to look, she was about five feet tall, slightly thin, with white skin. She was dressed in a blue robe with clean green shoes, and with one corner of the robe tucked into her belt, she was a capable middle-aged man.
Her gaze paused on that pair of shoes for a moment, then she asked with a smile, "Is this uncle looking for my milk? Lying in the house. "
Without waiting for a reply, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Milk, someone is looking for me."
Liu Qi was already unhappy, so when she heard this, she also got up and went to the window to pick up the curtains. Seeing the person's arrival, she estimated that it would probably cost a few taels of silver before she could put it down.
He turned his head and looked at Liu Dao Xiang viciously, thinking that Liu Dao Xiang had done it on purpose, so that she could be rude in front of the person who came.
Liu Dao Xiang gave her a very shameless smile. No matter who wanted to take the bait, she didn't force Liu Qi to put on a slut.
"Looking for me?" Which family are you from? "
Although Liu Qi was only a rich person, she loved to act like a rich person.
"So it's Old Lady Liu. Please excuse me."
The person clasped his hands at her and said, "It was the madame's brother who asked me to deliver a letter, and also to give Lady Liu some festive gifts."
