MTL - Spatial Farm Life: Raising My Kid, Abusing Scum, and Keeping Busy With Life-Chapter 74 People need face, trees need bark

  Chapter 74 People need face, trees need skin

  Chen Hao came over after hearing it, and he frowned and asked:

   "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

   "What's the matter, Mr. Qiao treats your mother as an outsider."

   "Mother, we are all outsiders."

   "We are all neighbors, we eat together every now and then, why are we outsiders?"

"Giving things always come and go. We eat at other people's houses, and we rarely bring anything. We always eat other people's food. Besides, Mr. Yuan taught his son. Aunt Qiao told you not to restrain yourself and ask you to give him a gift during the New Year. That's good, you're fine, you didn't send anything."

   "Then they are living together now."

   "Then what should be given to Mr. Yuan is still to be given. He is another man, and we are us. Courtesy cannot be discarded."

   "You have only been in school for a few days, and you dare to reason with my old lady?"

   "Mother, that's the reason. It's because you don't walk and always want to take advantage of others, so don't blame them for despising you."

   "Isn't our family poor? Orphans and widows, is it easy for me?"

   "People are poor and their aspirations are endless, so my son won't go to Qiao's house after the new year, and he will learn at home?"

"Why don't you go, just go, as long as he doesn't drive us away, go to his house, mother can't go, you have to go, if you can eat at his house, eat at his house, so mother can save a lot of money .”

   "Mother, my son is not as thick-skinned as you. My husband said fifteen, so let's go fifteen, and don't take the initiative to go there again."

   "You, are you really mad at me?"

   "A person needs face, a tree needs bark, and if people say it, do you want to go up and hurt your face?"

  Chen Hao didn't care whether his mother was crying or not, he turned around and went back to his room, Chen was so angry that he threw the pillow at the door of the house.

   I almost hated Mrs. Qiao to death in my heart, she was the one who poked the Yuan family alive, otherwise, Brother Yuan would not have refused to let her in.

  From that day on, she hated Qiao Mai.

   On the thirtieth year of the year, Qiao Mai, the head of the family, took his family and put up the couplets early in the morning. Because there were horses and puppies at home, the firecrackers were not set off.

  Early in the morning, she cooked dumplings for her family, fried dumplings at noon, and at night, Qiao Mai put more effort into cooking all kinds of dishes that children love.

   They also squeezed juice for them, and the family boiled warmly in the house.

  The children who used to go to bed early and get up early became sleepy before the New Year's bell. Yuan Jiaqi took them back to the house and covered them with quilts.

   After the two of them cleared the table, they said good night to each other and went back to their respective rooms.

  Qiao Mai brought the sleeping Linger into the space. She wanted to see if there was a computer with Internet access, and whether she could see the New Year's Eve party.

  The result made her very disappointed. Although this computer has Internet access, it is only limited to searching for useful knowledge. Some news, movies, and TV series cannot be watched.

  However, shopping online allows you to search for a variety of products. Apart from not being able to buy them, you can still enjoy your eyes.

  Qiao Mai sighed, unable to sleep, took a look at the field, more than forty kinds of crops are growing really well, green vegetables are green, and fruits are juicy and juicy.

  The space has increased by more than 20 times. According to the speed at which it can expand infinitely, it will be bigger than a small town in a short time.

  She sat on the edge of the ground, grabbed a cucumber and ate it.

  If it had this function in the previous life, then she can farm here, and she is willing not to go out for the rest of her life.

  Get up and walk around these lands, she found that these more than forty pieces of land are actually circling around her house and shelves.

  They form a circle and surround the house. Every time the land is expanded, the area of ​​the middle house also increases accordingly.

   There was always a one-acre vacancy, which made Qiao Mai very happy.

  The living place is spacious and comfortable to live in. It would be great if there is water, and raising some fish, shrimp and lotus roots will also make the space lively.

  I was in a good mood. I laid out a mat in front of the house, put a thin quilt on my body, and felt that it was dawn.

  If the children hadn't knocked on the door, she would have been asleep.

  Hurry up and hold Linger out of the space, and open the door.

   "Happy New Year, mother. My son wishes mother a new year. I wish mother a happy new year, healthy and happy."

   "Haha, wish my sons a year older too."

"whee"

   "Here, here are the red envelopes Mother prepared for you."

   "Thank you mother!"

  Qiao Mai looked at the three children, all of them had put on new clothes and their hair was combed bald, so he hurriedly let them go out, he and Linger had to put on new clothes too.

  The firecrackers in the small town kept on going, the frightened horses neighed in the stables, and the puppies stayed in the house and refused to come out.

  The mother and daughter were fully dressed, and Qiao Mai specially wore a set of silver jewelry.

   After coming out with Ling'er in their arms, everyone's eyes lit up.

  Yuan Jiaqi also looked good, and before Linger could give him New Year greetings, he gave her a red envelope.

  Qiao Mai also gave Linger a red envelope, and the couple nodded and smiled at each other.

"Happy New Year!"

   "Happy New Year! You hug Linger, I'll cook dumplings."

  Feng'er hurriedly took Ling'er, "Mother, let's take turns hugging my sister and let Dad help you, so quickly."

  The family's dumplings are cooked in one pot.

  Don't look at the dumplings that I ate all day yesterday, but the children just don't get tired of eating them.

  Thirty’s dumplings are stuffed with cabbage and shiitake mushrooms, and those in the first grade of junior high school are filled with leeks. These two kinds of fillings have very good metaphors, and children love to eat them.

   Especially the dumplings that can’t be eaten, fry them with oil when you eat them next time, the taste is really delicious.

   After eating the dumplings, the family wore thick clothes and followed Qiao Mai to visit.

  The first stop was the mayor's house. At this time of year, his family was the busiest at the most. The two brought their children there, followed the crowd, and paid New Year's greetings to the mayor.

   came out without saying a word, and the guard came out with four red envelopes.

   "Ms. Qiao,"

   "Brother Guard,"

   "The adults gave this to the four children. Please keep it well. Someone was there just now. It is inconvenient for the adults to say anything. You understand."

"Thanks!"

  The second stop is naturally Shopkeeper Lu's house. They have been here for almost a year, and they haven't been to her house yet.

  According to Shopkeeper Lu's description, they found the place and opened the courtyard door. Shopkeeper Lu's family came out to greet them.

  Ruxin took Ling'er and went into the living room. The three children paid New Year's greetings to Shopkeeper Lu and received red envelopes. Even Ruxin Ruyi also gave red envelopes.

  Of course, Qiao Mai also prepared. She gave one to each of the two apprentices, and gave back to Xiuhong and Xiuyu. She had helped her every time she went out of the stall. She took this opportunity to show that the amount of money in the red envelope was naturally indispensable.

   They were sitting drinking hot tea and eating melon seeds, Yuan Jiaqi didn't talk much, just listened.

   "Sister, your house is nice."

   "This is a two-entry house. I originally wanted to buy a three-entry house. I have a small family, so it would be too sloppy to buy a big one."

   "It's enough to live enough. Besides, with my status, few people come to visit me. If they come, they are mostly female relatives."

   After sitting for a while, shopkeeper Lu was about to cook, so Qiao Mai got up and followed her to the kitchen.

   Shopkeeper Lu was a little embarrassed, "Don't look at me as a woman, but I'm really not good at cooking, so don't dislike me."

  Qiao Mai smiled, "See if you have prepared this dish in advance?"

  She smiled at Qiao Mai, "A few years ago, I ordered a few hard dishes at Jingtai Restaurant, and they will definitely not be bad in such a cold day. I just waited for you to come over today."

  Qiao Mai's mouth curled up, "The food at Shopkeeper Tong's is not good."

   "That's much more delicious than what I made."

   "Go to my house to eat on the first day of the new year,"

"If you don't think we're making trouble, I'll go to your house. Anyway, I don't care about those etiquettes, just be happy. I'll watch Linger for you. If you cook, I will love your cooking. It's amazing. , if shopkeeper Tong knows your skills, he must kneel down to you, and beg and beg to buy your prescription."

"Is it so exaggerated?"

   "Yes, since I ate the food you made, I don't want to eat other food, let alone the food made by myself."
