Chapter 160 Birds of a feather flock together!
The servant was out of breath from running. He waved his hands and said at last, "The steward forgot to mention that our wife will come to visit us tomorrow. I wonder if it would be convenient for us?"
Old Master Tai looked at Yang Lihua. Yang Lihua thought for a moment and said, "If it's convenient, please ask Steward Min to tell Madam Min that my humble abode is simple and unpretentious. Madam Min, please feel free to come and sit down."
The servant quickly saluted, then turned around and ran back.
Yang Lihua was afraid that the old man would miss her, so she whispered, "Dad, Madam Min said that day that she would tell me no matter what the outcome of that matter was. I guess she came here this time to express her gratitude. After all, we carried out the incense burner and prevented the Min family from embarrassing themselves in front of the guests."
The old man nodded and replied, "Mrs. Min is a female relative, so it's not convenient for me to entertain her. Tomorrow you and Dong Niang will be at home, and I will take the boys for a walk in the mountains."
Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue were feeling depressed because they couldn't go to the grassland, so they immediately cheered when they heard this.
"Into the mountains, into the mountains!"
"Grandpa is the best. Let's help him carry the basket!"
"I want to go too and eat meat with grandpa!" Zhuzhu was also excited and clapped her hands and shouted together.
Yang Lihua quickly comforted her daughter, "No, Zhuzhu, Madam Min might bring Miss Min over tomorrow. You have to help your mother entertain the guests then. Otherwise, it will be so boring for Miss Min to be alone when you are not at home."
Zhuzhu immediately changed her mind and nodded seriously, "Well, then I won't go up the mountain. Mom and I will stay at home to entertain the guests."
Everyone laughed and chatted as they entered the yard.
That night, most of the villagers did not sleep well because they were worried about their relatives who were away.
But the sky brightens, the sun rises again, and life goes on.
The Tai family got up early and went about their business, sweeping the yard, wiping the tables and chairs, and after tidying up, they had breakfast.
Tai Jizong accompanied the old man and the two little boys up the mountain. Tai Jizu took the big black horse to Zhangjia Village to find someone to repair its hooves, and he also wanted to take the big black horse for a few laps.
Good horses always run freely between heaven and earth. Tai Jizu always feels that it is unfair to the dark horse to keep it in a pen like this, and even more so to the name "Jifeng"!
Liu Dongniang was a little nervous and asked her sister-in-law carefully, "Mrs. Min is coming over. I'm afraid she wants to have lunch with us. Sister-in-law, what should we serve her?"
Yang Lihua thought for a moment and said, "The Min family is wealthy, so they probably don't want anything good. Let's just do what we can and make some fresh food."
"I'll have Chunhong cut some first-cut leeks, chop some pork for potstickers, and make some millet porridge with red dates and two side dishes."
Liu Dongniang nodded repeatedly. Her sister-in-law was her backbone. She would listen to whatever her sister-in-law said. There was definitely nothing wrong with it!
At noon, the Min family's carriage arrived.
Mrs. Min was very low-key. She only brought a maid, two servants, and of course her beloved daughter.
The old woman and the maid were holding not much, just a box and a package.
But when the mistress and daughter of a wealthy family go out, there is a limit to how low-key they can be. At least their clothes and jewelry have already made the idle people at the village entrance stare at them with wide eyes.
Mrs. Min wore a double-breasted shirt with a cloud pattern embroidered with four joys and auspicious wishes, paired with a honey-colored skirt. She had a gold hairpin in her bun and a long necklace of bluestone pearls hanging on her chest, which shone faintly in the sunlight.
Miss Min wore a pink and gold-woven pipa skirt, had her hair in double buns, and a seven-treasure necklace hung on her chest, which made her youthful face look more noble and dignified.
Yang Lihua brought Zhuzhu to greet them, chatted and exchanged a few words, and then invited the mother and daughter into the backyard.
Mrs. Min and her daughter couldn't help nodding as they walked and looked around.
Although I knew before that the Tai family was a family that was living on a good life, it was still pleasing to see with my own eyes that the farmyard was swept so clean and tidy.
"Lihua, your yard is so well-maintained. If I could handle all the trivial matters at home, I would really like to find a yard as big as this to spend a few years in peace." Mrs. Min praised with a smile.
Yang Lihua quickly smiled and said, "Last year, our house was still a mud house with a dirt yard. Luckily, we were lucky. After the New Year, we took on two jobs for your family and were paid to build this yard. Otherwise, I would have been afraid of neglecting the lady and the young lady if they came over."
As they were talking, they entered Zhuzhu's small courtyard.
Chunhong stays here every night, and Zhuzhu often comes here to play during the day, so the small yard is kept very clean and tidy everywhere.
Yang Lihua asked Mrs. Min to sit on the kang and explained a few more things.
"The front yard is where most of the family members come and go, and the villagers often come and go. I'm afraid that some people who don't know about it might offend Madam and Miss. But this small yard belongs to my daughter Zhuzhu. It's quiet and clean, so I'm sorry to bother Madam and Miss to talk here."
"No, that's good."
Mrs. Min guessed that all the men in the Tai family had left, and she was even happier when she heard that the Tai family had set aside this yard specifically for their granddaughter.
She also dotes on her daughter and is naturally a little closer to the Tai family. This is also a case of birds of a feather flock together.
At this time, Liu Dongniang brought Chunhong over to serve tea and snacks.
Yang Lihua quickly pulled her sister-in-law to introduce her to Madam Min. Liu Dongniang bowed, her face flushed with embarrassment.
Yang Lihua said, "My sister-in-law is honest and gentle. She likes cooking the most, but she's not very good at joking."
"It's okay, it's good like this." Mrs. Min glanced at Liu Dongniang pulling Yang Lihua's sleeve and couldn't help laughing.
It is rare for sisters-in-law to get along so well and rely on each other. It is enough to show that the brothers of the Tai family are in harmony and the family is peaceful and prosperous.
