Zhang hurriedly invited them into the house to sit down, "Come in and have a cup of tea. The sun is out and it's very hot." Zhang went to boil water.
"Second Aunt, it's alright, we'll just talk a few words and leave. We still have to go to Huangkou Village to take a look. After that we'll have to hurry on."
"So urgent?"
"It has to be early. We can't go back earlier like we did last year when Shufeng got married. When are you planning to leave?"
"Your second brother said mid-July. Oh, and Huaitian found a lot of flower seeds for you. They're all here with me. Should I give them to you now or bring them back to you later?"
"We still have a lot of places to go. Please help me bring them back when the time comes. Is Huaitian at the braised meat shop these days?"
"He's not here. He went to Dongjiang Prefecture. Someone has been assigned to look after the braised meat shop. It's hot these days, so not much is made every day."
"He will come back with you then, right?"
"We agreed to go back together. Originally, the villagers in Huangkou wanted to go back too, but August is the time when flowers bloom, and they can't leave without people. So I said that we can just take their gifts back with us when the time comes. Why don't you guys have lunch before leaving, little sister? We haven't seen each other for a long time."
"If I stay a little longer, I'm afraid I won't want to leave anymore. Let's get together at home. You can stay a few more days then. My new house is ready. You haven't seen it yet. You will see it when you go back."
"Already done? You're quite capable." Zhang smiled. "I will definitely go and take a look. Your second brother said that when he goes back this time, Changxing and I will stay at home. And it's true. I haven't seen Duo'er and Pan'er for half a year."
Chunxiao and Zhang chatted a lot, and no one else could interrupt them, so they just listened. When they had finished talking, Chunxiao was about to leave. "Second Aunt, I'm leaving now. Let's get together again when we get back."
Zhang escorted them out of the manor and said, "Your second brother is not here at this time. Be careful on your way. Safety is the most important thing."
"Second Aunt, if you go back and look for a coachman, remember to look for the Chunsheng Coachman in the county town."
Zhang smiled, "I see. I forgot to ask just now. I'll tell your second brother when he comes back."
The car went to Wuying Town.
"Your relationship with Sister Zhang and Sister Tian is still as good as ever. My father said that your family has the most harmonious relationship among sisters-in-law in our village."
"Why would Uncle Shizhu tell you these family matters?"
"You have to say something at home." Dongsheng smiled, "How can you just stare blankly?"
Chunxiao thought about how Yan Bingfa and Zhou often talked about the villagers, but rarely did he talk about them with Dashan Dahe. "I thought only mothers and daughters would talk about these things, and the relationship between fathers and sons should be serious."
"Miss, that's not the case. My father used to tell my brother everything, but he didn't talk much to us."
"Your father favors boys over girls, how can that be the same? By the way, remember to remind me to take out their gifts when we get off the bus."
Meiman was a little curious, "Miss, what style did you buy for Happiness? Can I see it?"
When Chunxiao heard this, she hurriedly asked them to stand up. She and Xiaohua lifted the cover of the stool and carefully searched inside.
"Oh my god, you put all these precious jewels in here!" Meiman quickly lowered the carriage curtain. "This is too casual. What if it gets stolen?"
"Only a few of us know who would steal. Otherwise, it would be too much trouble to move things in and out every time we move around. This is called being in the dark."
Xiaohua started laughing again. "I also said at the beginning that it's up to the young lady to do whatever she wants, but to be honest, it would be more conspicuous if you don't carry it with you like this. Our carriage is always locked when no one is around, so it's okay."
"You're so brave." Dongsheng just realized that they had put the jewelry under the bench. "I didn't even know this car was a treasure chest."
"The fewer people who know about this secret, the better." They rummaged around inside for a while, and finally one of them took out a piece of gold jewelry. "This is what I prepared for Xingfu. The one in Xiaohua's hand is something she prepared herself. Take a look. Which one looks better, yours or Xingfu's?"
Meiman held the butterfly hairpin and said, "They are both beautiful. Mine and Xingfu's are both beautiful, but I like mine better." They are both gold headdresses, each with its own merits.
Xiaohua handed over the earrings, "Miss bought a headdress, and I bought butterfly earrings. Take a look at the ones I picked out."
"You two look like a perfect match, so naturally they are excellent. If I had a sister like you who thought about me every day, I would be happy even if she didn't give me any gifts."
Xiaohua grinned, and Chunxiao asked her to find the box and put it away. In addition to the two gold ornaments, Chunxiao also took out a set of silver ornaments as a gift for Wangyou.
Dongsheng looked at Chunxiao and asked, "What kind of jewelry do you like?"
Chun Xiao was stunned for a moment, then smiled. "I'm quite vulgar. I like gold, silver, and jade, as long as it's nice-looking. Didn't you see what's under that board? A lot of the things in there are things I bought for myself. Even if I don't wear them, I'm happy to look at them every day."
Dongsheng pursed his lips, smiled and stopped talking.
The weather was hot, and a few people would lean on the window from time to time to enjoy the cool breeze and look at the scenery outside.
"It's still the same here!"
Chunxiao looked at Xiaohua and asked, "What did you do at home before?"
"I do all kinds of work, from getting up to going to bed at night. I rarely have free time. In fact, I rarely leave the village. When I married that bastard, even though I knew he was my sister's husband and a bad person, I was still a little happy at the time. At least I could leave that home."
It was the first time Dongsheng heard Xiaohua talk about herself. "Are you from here?"
Xiaohua smiled and said, "Yes, Brother Dongsheng, you may not know this, but my sister and I are from Wuying Town. It was the young lady who saved me that allowed me to follow her. I was so scared at that time, but I have never done anything bad. People say that good people will be blessed."
