MTL - Rebirth Married The Control Group Fulang-Chapter 56

"These four sides are well repaired, and they look good. Look at these boilers, bowls and stoves, all of them are new."

Liu Xianglan looked around three times in and out of the tea shed, then glanced at Xu He again, and then again. Until Zhang Shiyue came over to say hello: "Miss Xu is here, sit down."

"Okay." Liu Xianglan looked back at this, and drank tea in the tea shed very impolitely, and then grabbed Xu He and asked questions, sometimes about how much it cost to repair the tea shed, and sometimes about whether the business is good and so on.

Xu He shook his head. He still doesn't know his mother's virtues: "Mother, what are you doing here? Do you want to give me some subsidies?"

"The family life is still difficult, how can we get money to subsidize. You are a meat stall and a tea shed. What you don't have is money?"

"Mom, business is not that easy."

"Come on, it's time to start complaining to me, and I don't care if you borrow money."

Liu Xianglan crossed her legs, looking like a hostess, and was about to yell something, when she saw a tall and strong figure coming back from the door, she straightened her legs subconsciously.

"Yo, the mother-in-law is here."

Zhang Fangyuan saw someone when he entered the house, and put down the bucket to drink water.

Liu Xianglan rubbed her thighs: "Ah, Brother He's father was thinking that it is not easy for you to open a tea shed and do business, so he asked you to bring some vegetables from the field, and if you want to eat, you can pick them at home yourself, so you can save some money. "

Zhang Fangyuan clicked his tongue: "That's really strange."

Liu Xianglan said again: "Gaiminger asked Brother He to go home and have a meal. This is all in the same village, and I haven't been back for a while."

"That's good to be brave."

Liu Xianglan felt that talking with Zhang Fangyuan was like sitting on pins and needles, and she was burning on the bench. After talking a few words, she couldn't find anything to say. She was looking at Xu He's meat harvest, and wanted to ask Ming'er to come home and bring some. , but seeing Zhang Fangyuan sitting in the room splitting his legs like a magistrate, he couldn't say what he said after a few turns in his heart.

I can't help but miss the time when the two families first got married. At that time, his son Zhang Fangyuan was so kind-hearted and nice-speaking, and he would bring some meat every now and then. Now that the man is in his hands, his true nature has been exposed, and he can't be provoked. The two sons and daughters are married, and they really have their own ways, which makes the mother's family feel depressed.

"Okay, Brother He, come here early tomorrow." After speaking, Liu Xianglan stood up: "I'm back."

Zhang Shiyue poked her head out from the kitchen: "Miss Xu, let's go back to dinner, let's go together."

"No, the guy at home has to ask me to go back and cook."

Zhang Fangyuan and Xu He didn't keep anyone, and let her come and go.

"Why did you promise her that I'm going back, not to mention that I'm busy here, it's nothing good for her to tell me to go back to eat and keep safe."

Zhang Fangyuan said: "What are you afraid of, I will go back with you."

Xu He thought for a while: "Forget it, I'll go by myself. If you also go, the business of both sides of the family will be delayed, so it won't be worth it."

"Then you can handle it?"

"Don't worry, it's fine."

Zhang Fangyuan responded: "Yes, if there is something, delay it first, and I will solve it when I come back."

The next day, it was almost noon when Xu He returned to Xu's house from the tea shed. Although there were more customers in the tea shed at noon than in other time periods, he had to deal with it before leaving. The rest was left to Zhang Shiyue to be busy, and Xiao'e and Xiaomao who were playing here could help , Sweeping the floor, burning the fire and serving dishes is no problem.

Xu He went back in peace.

When they arrived at Xu's courtyard, they could see smoke from the kitchen. It seemed that the food had already been cooked. It was rare that the family didn't wait for him to go home before cooking. Entering the courtyard, the sun was shining brightly, and his head was sweating under the straw hat. He took off the hat and hung it on the wall nails of the eaves. He heard that there was still some excitement in the house.

"The aunt is here, and the second sister is also back."

Liu Xiangmei, who was fanning the wind in the middle hall, saw Xu He who had come back, she was stunned for a moment, and almost didn't recognize him at a glance. Xu He sat next to him and beat the wind with his fan again and again: "It's hot, why didn't Zhang Fangyuan say to take you back in a carriage, look at you sweating all over at noon."

As she spoke, Liu Xiangmei took out her handkerchief and wiped it on Xu He's face.

Xu He backed away subconsciously. He had never experienced such enthusiasm and concern in this family, or among relatives and friends in this family.

Liu Xiangmei is not surprised either, after living in the city for many years, changing her face has become a common occurrence, and she doesn't feel embarrassed at all.

Glancing at Xu Shaochun beside him, then looking at Xu He, he took his hand and patted it lightly: "Your body has grown up, look at how aura it is, at your age the best time to grow your body is to look at it." , a little longer, more overhangs."

Xu He laughed dryly: "Where is the aunt?"

"I'm not here to coax you. Look at our brother. He's tall and has grown flesh. When he goes out, others will have to look at his face."

Xu He thought to himself that it was better before, his aunt didn't talk to him very much, she went to talk to Xu Shaochun after saying hello, now it's really abnormal, she didn't talk to her second sister, instead she just kept going praise him.

"Your butcher didn't come today?"

"Going out of a stall in the upper city."

"That's right, I'm busy with business." Liu Xiangmei smiled and said, "Your butcher is always good at treating others, every time I go to buy meat, he looks for me, and keeps talking about my aunt, giving benefits every time I go. "

Xu He laughed out loud, but he didn't hear Zhang Fangyuan tell him this, so he just responded, "It should."

"My little brother is living a better life at home now, and both ends are doing business. It's no wonder that my aunt is happy to worry about it. Every family in the village says that Zhang Fangyuan is capable."

Liu Xiangmei pulled Xu He and talked endlessly, as if she couldn't finish talking, and Xu Shaochun was left out in the cold. A few times when Xu Shaochun interrupted and wanted to say a few words, Liu Xiangmei turned the topic back to Xu He, and she spoke sourly in anger.

"Look at this, your second sister is not happy anymore. The daughter here is married, and it is not easy for the whole family to reunite neatly. Why are you so petty?"

Taking advantage of the gap, Xu He took a closer look at his second sister, and was a little surprised. He didn't know where the bright and beautiful appearance was when he was a girl at home, but now he is wearing a plain dress without any ornaments. Knowing that the young lady who was dressed up at home before was even more shameless when she went out. She was going to smoke her clothes with flower petals, and she was wearing hairpins and hairpins.

Right now, the eyes are dull, and the head under the eyelids is slightly bulging, as if he hasn't slept well for many days. The pair of slender and slender hands at home are now yellow calluses, and the white onion-like skin that was proud of in the past is now radiating yellow.

Maybe it's because I got a little tan from working in the fields in summer, or maybe it's because I didn't sleep well at night.

In short, the whole person looked at Huibai without much energy.

Xu He occasionally heard that his second sister's life in Fei's house was not very comfortable, but looking at it now, it really is not as good as when she was pampered at home. But it's normal. The one who married into her husband's family is a mother-in-law, not a mother-in-law. Naturally, she won't be used to coaxing her. If she doesn't do things well and doesn't understand clearly, she will be scolded and trained. The poisonous mother-in-law is even more hands-on.

With Liu Xianglan around, the Fei family must have dared not do anything, and what's more, they are all scholars, and it is not good to hear that their reputation will be damaged. Although it is not likely to be clubbed, it is still difficult to live a comfortable life.

Xu He couldn't help but sigh, who knew it would turn out like this, but now it seems that he has lived a good life. Zhang Fangyuan had intended to be with Zhang Fangyuan, but there was no parents-in-law at the other end, and Zhang Fangyuan was very spoiled with him.

"My aunt is looking after Brother He, and treats him warmly. Shaochun is down and out. Naturally, the villagers laughed and the family stepped on it. People outside joked and used me as a conversation piece after dinner. I never thought about my aunt. It's actually like this, the family should confess He Ge'er, why do you want me."

Saying that, Xu Shaochun wiped his eyes, stood up suddenly, ran back to the room and cried.

"Oh, you said this child!" Liu Xiangmei got up and tried to chase, but she didn't really catch up. Seeing the person running back to the house, she simply sat back and said to Xu He: "Your second sister is married, why? Her temper is even bigger than when she was at home, and I don't blame mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for getting along well. Your mother also went to Fei's house to fight, and if she won the fight, the girl lived in someone else's house, right? Some are small shoes."

"At the beginning, I felt that the marriage of Fei's family was not good. Your mother would not listen. She thought that she was a good scholar and had a future. But when I have a future, I remember breaking up with you. How about doing some business in a down-to-earth manner?" , don’t worry about food and clothing, let’s think about those good things about studying after the food and clothing are settled. Otherwise, how can ordinary people afford it.”

"Look at your second sister, what a girl she was before, but now she looks like this."

Liu Xiangmei kept shaking her head.

Xu He didn't have much to say, so he took a sip of tea silently: "I'll go to the kitchen to have a look."

"Your aunt is also a person who doesn't speak lightly or seriously. You know that it's hard to come back once, and you have to tell her that she is crying." Liu Xianglan listened to Xu Shaochun crying in the room and twitched. After picking up the spatula, he had to go to the house, and Xu He didn't want to chat with his aunt in the middle hall, so he thought it would be better to just cook.

Unexpectedly, Liu Xianglan saw that he didn't want to enter the house again, and said instead: "I called you back today, one is to get together at home, and two, there is something else I want to talk to you about. "

Xu He glanced at Liu Xianglan, and he was right on point.

He didn't answer, and Liu Xianglan continued on by herself: "Your sister has also seen these days, Fei's family is not in shape at all. Originally, Fei Lian won the prize and the scholar's family has money in the account every month, so life should be Moisturizing. Fei Lian, who was born on the sidelines, will continue to spend time in the academy, and if he doesn’t come out to find work to support his family, it’s fine, and he still has to use the money given by the court to spend his studies, and his life is still so hard.”

"Your second sister doesn't get along with her mother-in-law. If you are under your nose every day, how can you live on?"

"They are all one family. Now that two of your family are doing business, let your second sister go to your tea shed to help with things."

After Xu He heard it, he suddenly laughed, and he said how kindly he would call him back for dinner: "Mother, don't you know how big my tea shed is? Can it hold so many people to help? The second aunt has already helped."

"It's not that I'm talking about you. Why did you take in that widow and the oil bottle so well? I don't know how you are willing to accept two more people for dinner." Liu Xianglan said angrily: "Otherwise the tea shed will be empty and let the tea shed be empty. How suitable it is for your second sister to go and do business, you don't think about it at all."

"When you go back, talk to the widow and tell her to go home. Your second sister will help out in the tea shed later."

Xu He said bluntly: "Why did the second sister do those jobs? If it wasn't for the fact that my mother was blindly used to it at home, it was clear that she was not good at everything, and she insisted on going outside to save face and do everything well. She lives now. It’s up to you to make half of it like this. If you want me to ask Ergu to go home to take care of it, it’s okay to replace Second Sister. I can help her in the tea shed and have food, but she won’t be paid. After all, Ergu also helps If I don’t pay wages, I won’t be so stupid as to let those who don’t pay wages leave, let’s find someone who asks for wages.”

"How can it be done if you don't pay wages! Isn't it for nothing!" Liu Xianglan became anxious when she heard this.

"Why do you do it for nothing? Didn't you promise to give me food?"

"How could her mother-in-law agree to let her go out just to pay for her meals!"

Xu He said: "Then this is her business, what can I do? The tea shed doesn't make money at all, and the family has a big problem with expenses, but there is no money to start wages to subsidize the second sister. If mother has money, why not ask the second sister to come back Let her family come to break the corn for you, you give her money, and then come back to take good care of it. Presumably the Fei family has nothing to say about the money."

"What nonsense are you talking about! Looks good!"

Xu He said unhurriedly: "Mother, didn't you talk nonsense first."

"Now that you have a better life, you won't give your family a way to live, will you?"

"The way of life is earned by yourself, not by others." Xu He said: "Second sister is not very good now, she has learned everything, and has mastered a lot of farm work. I am not used to this appearance now, and it will be fine when I get used to it. She was originally from a farming family, so her parents had to raise her as a young lady, and that’s all. Then she passed it on to a farmer’s family and asked for trouble. When you married your second sister to a rich family in the city, that’s not right. Enough."

Liu Xianglan was so angry that her teeth hurt, she thought that the butcher didn't come today so she could talk to Xu He, but as the past few months passed, the speech of this stinky little brother became more and more unpleasant.

The couple are really a nest of snakes and rats, and their words are equally annoying.

Liu Xianglan wanted to yell again, but Liu Xiangmei walked in at this time: "What are you arguing about, the whole family, take a breather. Brother Renhe is right. I told you earlier that there is a big family in the city who is rich in money. I want you to marry Shaochun. You must say that it is not good to be a stepmother, and the man is getting old. Where in the world are there all kinds of marriages that are as good as you want!"

"Brother He, go to the house to rest and enjoy the shade. You have to go back to the tea shed in the afternoon to do some work. I'll help your mother light the fire."

Xu He turned around and went back to the middle hall.

Seeing the person leave, Liu Xiangmei whispered again: "I said Zhang Fangyuan was good at the beginning, but you still look down on him, now how about it."

"What's the use of saying that now."

Liu Xiangmei retorted: "It's useless, you just yelled at Brother He, and you called for whatever you wanted? Do you think he is still the same as when he was a little brother at home? You should still You can pinch a soft persimmon if you want. I said, why don’t you think about it when you are so old.”

"The mother-in-law in Shaochun's family is fierce and fierce. Fei Lian listens to his old mother in everything, and can't support her at all. You can't expect him to support Shaochun. What is the Fei family? I have a great future, I guess I won’t be able to fall into your family, thank God that Shaochun’s life will be easier. In the future, I will have to point to Brother He.”

"I see that Zhang Fangyuan is a capable person, and Brother He can also support it. The husband and wife are okay, there are no in-laws above, and the days will be more prosperous in the future. A little bit leaking from a finger is enough for you and Lao Xu Have a good life." Liu Xiangmei hated iron but steel: "You are a vicious person, and you still treat people like slaves? You have already flown out, and it is strange to listen to you. If you go home and complain to Zhang Fangyuan, maybe After a while, they came to the door again, and the chickens were flying like dogs, and the village was a joke again."

Liu Xianglan's face turned blue and red after being told, she was already depressed when she made a wrong bet, and now she was asked to please Xu He, who was used to talking and drinking, and her heart was even more uncomfortable.

But she also felt that what her sister said was the same truth, and she didn't take the call back to her heart very much. Now that she has suffered a lot of bad luck, she sighed, and the good old days are really gone forever.

"Don't mention the matter of letting Shaochun go to the tea shed. He just opened the shop, and you, a mother, didn't help at all and rushed to get something. Let alone your own mother, you You are still a adoptive mother, who would be happy with your behavior."

Liu Xianglan said: "I'm also worried for Shaochun. I live a hard life at Fei's house every day, and I don't get any good from doing so many jobs."

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. If you can protect her for the rest of your life, you can't do it. You have to let her make it through this day." Liu Xiangmei said: "If you really care for her, then live your life honestly and don't think about being with the Fei family. The mother-in-law is fighting. Let Shaochun blow the pillow wind and ask Fei Lian to find something to do by himself is the most important thing. He is already in his prime, and he is not a rich young master. What is the reason for blindly letting the family support him .”

"If you don't make money by yourself, you will never be hardened for the rest of your life."

Liu Xianglan was resentful, and it took a while before she said: "It's done, I'll do what you want first."

Xu He heard the conversation of the two people in the room clearly from the outside, he didn't say anything, he didn't care what Liu Xianglan was thinking, he didn't ask the family to please him, as long as he didn't make trouble, everything was easy to talk about. But it was his aunt, who really deserved to have been in the city for many years. Although she was a philistine compared to many people, she was still a clear-eyed person after all.

Zhang Fangyuan received the work very early today, and he was lucky. After he got out of the stall, an old buyer who always came to his stall to buy mountain products came. The family had important things to do, so he bought all the meat from the stall. . It was the first time for him to meet such a buyer, and he was lucky enough to help deliver the meat to the owner's house. He bought another piece of ice on the side of the road, and he directly bought the meat without having lunch in the city. Back to the tea shed.

He wanted to tell Xu He about his good luck today, but no one came back, so he remembered that he went home today.

I've explained it to him beforehand, but I'm not afraid of the Xu family's embarrassment. The tea shed was busy at noon, so he helped Zhang Shiyue greet the guests.

When I was free, I scooped up a bowl of tea and went to the mat outside to eat tea, peel melon seeds, and greeted someone passing by.

"Ayuan, Brother He stockpiled some watermelons yesterday, and put them in the well to cool down. The weather is getting hot at noon, so you can tell if someone will buy them."

"Okay." Zhang Fangyuan responded, and went to the well behind the tea shed to fish for watermelons. When he was repairing the tea shed earlier, he considered that it might be inconvenient to drink water at this end, so he paid the two brothers of the Chen family two more days' wages to fight together. Well, it is convenient to use now.

The chubby watermelon is cool and sizzling, just like the one taken out of the ice cellar. He patted it lightly, with a very proficient voice, and he could smash the melon open with only half a fist, but it was for sale, and it would not look good when he smashed it open.

Taking it to the small wooden bridge outside the tea shed, he cut a whole watermelon evenly into twelve pieces with a few knives with a kitchen knife, and then cut it into twenty-four pieces. Second aunt, it's finished, come out and eat."

"I stay here all day to cool off, neither hot nor thirsty."

Zhang Fangyuan was about to say something more, when he suddenly smelled a familiar scent, and a short man with a load came running in: "Brother, how do you sell this watermelon?"

"Three pennies a piece."

The man put down his burden, took out three Wen coins and asked for a piece of watermelon well water, it was cold and sweet, and the juice was very juicy, very refreshing and thirst quenching. The man ate the melon in one go, feeling a little unsatisfied, but he didn't continue to ask for it. Instead, he chatted with Zhang Fangyuan who was drinking tea at the table.

"Brother is a butcher?"

Zhang Fangyuan took a look at the man: "I have some sharp eyesight."

"In the past, there was a butcher across from my house. When I had nothing to do, I just watched him trim the meat. The elder brother's knife skills are not what ordinary people can do. Besides..." The man sniffed, hehe said: "There is an animal on him. the taste of."

Zhang Fangyuan couldn't help frowning when he heard the words, Xu He liked to be clean and didn't like the smell on his body, so he tried to boil some water and rinse it in the hut behind the tea shed, it was cool and deodorized. There's nothing to do with the hot summer weather. People who do business like them are not as decent as those young masters with BMW cars.

Without waiting for him to speak again, the man hastily said again: "I have some good stuff over there, and it smells really good."

Without waiting for Zhang Fangyuan to say whether to look or not, the man opened one of the burdens he had carried, and quickly took out a small porcelain bottle from inside. Very fragrant.

"It's hard to find this bottle of fragrance dew. When you sprinkle it on the skirt of your clothes, it still smells good for ten days and a half months. It's very good for elder brother to use it."

Zhang Fangyuan pinched the small porcelain bottle and sniffed it carefully, not daring to get too close, the smell would be greasy, but smelling it from a distance, even if it was sealed in the bottle, there was still a faint fragrance.

The center of his eyebrows moved slightly. If he remembered correctly, this fragrance was called "Rose Water".
