Chapter 72 Burning Paper Money (1/2)



Liang Tian'er lent two maids to Jiang Dai.

A 21-year-old girl named Chunlai.

A 24-year-old named Dongqu.

Liang Tian'er gave very thorough instructions; both girls were dressed in coarse cloth and carried their own changes of clothes.

"Just tell everyone that you're a distant relative from my mother's side, and that your family isn't very well-off. You two can make do for now."

"yes."

The two responded in unison, and then said nothing more.

Jiang Dai looked at the two silent girls, wanting to say something, but held back. Some things were better left unsaid until they got home.

On the way back, the old woman sitting in the oxcart curiously inquired about the origins of the two maids.

But the two girls didn't say much, and Jiang Dai easily brushed them off with a few words.

“My house is just ahead. You can squeeze in with me, my daughter and me tonight.”

Jiang Dai decided to send Bai Tian to a side room so that he could sleep with her three sons.

"good."

Spring and Winter both nodded in agreement, and then fell silent again.

Jiang Dai sighed helplessly.

Forget it, these two are probably people who don't want to talk, so don't force them to.

As Jiang Dai turned a corner on the country road, she saw Xiao Juanjuan sitting at the door, hugging her legs and nodding her head, boredly waiting for her to come home.

"Juanjuan!" Jiang Dai couldn't help but call out to the little one.

Juanjuan, who was looking down at the little ants, suddenly looked up.

Then I saw my smiling mother.

"mother!"

The little one stopped looking at the ants and ran straight to its mother.

As soon as I ran over, my mother bent down and picked me up.

Now Juanjuan can skillfully wrap her arms around her mother's neck and find a comfortable position to snuggle in her mother's arms.

"Have you missed your mother?"

Jiang Dai couldn't help but raise her voice as she affectionately nuzzled her little girl.

There was no other way; she didn't need to be close to her three sons at home. In ancient times, the concept of male-female separation was very strong.

If we're talking about sticking things together, let Bai Tian go and stick things together with his three sons!

"I miss my mother, I miss my mother the most..."

Juanjuan lingered with her mother for a little while, then peeked out from her mother's shoulder to look at the two aunts following behind.

Juanjuan: "Mother, they are..."

Jiang Dai: "Is this Sister Chunlai...?"

Chunlai: What's there to doubt?

"Do you want her to call you 'sister' or 'auntie'?"

Jiang Dai asked the question politely.

[Well, in modern times, it wouldn't be a problem for Juanjuan to call him "sister," and young women in their early twenties... also like their little ones to call them "sister."]

However, the original owner is only 25 years old, a few years older than Chunlai Dongqu, so calling her "Auntie" seems more appropriate. Therefore, it's best to leave her in the care of the two of them.

Chunlai: "Sister."

Winter Fun: "Auntie"

Jiang Dai pursed her lips somewhat awkwardly.

Juanjuan looked at her mother blankly, wanting to know what she should be called.

Chunlai: "Auntie."

Winter Fun: "Sister."

Jiang Dai's lips twitched, then she forcefully suppressed a laugh.

He kept his composure on the surface, but his mind was anything but at ease.

No, my threshold for laughter has definitely gotten a bit too low from watching so many short videos; I just find myself laughing for no reason.

Juanjuan looked at her mother, then at the two... her aunts in front of her.

Dongqu raised her hand to stop Chunlai: "Don't speak yet, call her Auntie!"

Chunlai: ... "Okay."

Juanjuan gave a shy smile and said, "Hello, Auntie."

Winter fun, spring is coming: "Roll up nicely."

Actually, it wasn't very good; we were so out of sync just now!

As a result, the two, who were already silent, spoke even less.

Step into the courtyard.

Jiang Dai then saw Bai Tian chopping wood with an axe, with his eldest son helping him.
