Chapter 28 Daughter Embroidery Building

Naituanzi stopped and thought for a while, then went over to pick up some branches and stuck them around.

Then she picked up Xiaowu's basket and ran into the house to get the scissors.

The second brother was startled and hugged his sister: "What are you doing?"

Xinbao said, "Grow mint."

That piece of soil felt very suitable for growing mint, because no one had swept it before, and there were a lot of bird droppings and thin leaves in the soil, which were natural fertilizers. There was also a layer of loose soil, so it would definitely grow very fast if planted.

The second brother thought that Mint was impossible to keep alive, but he thought it was good that she could stay and play, otherwise he really couldn't carry her if she wanted to go out.

So he said, "Xinbao can't play with scissors. Second brother will cut them for you."

He moved the stool over and slowly cut the mint in the basket.

It’s strange to say, it was not easy to find a mint leaf in the village before, but in the past few days, Xiaowu and Xiaoliu can always find some mint. It seems that their luck has changed since they left that family.

The second brother had a smile on his face as he slowly cut the branches. Each branch had three standard groups of leaves, and even the lengths were almost the same.

One cuts and the other inserts, the two siblings cooperate very well.

Mrs. Lin came back in a hurry and saw her daughter squatting in a mud puddle, her two little hands and two sleeves were all covered with mud.

Madam Lin felt dizzy: "Xinbao!!"

The little girl raised her head, her eyes lit up, and she smiled brilliantly. In the sunlight, her little white teeth shone brightly, and her big eyes were curved like eyelashes when she smiled: "Mother!"

Mrs. Lin was so cute that she couldn't scold him anymore. She turned around and scolded her son: "What's wrong with you? How can you take care of your child? There are so many things for a little girl to play with? Why let her play in the mud? Look at her sleeves, they are covered with three pounds of mud. She has to wash them and she has nothing to wear at night..."

She spoke so quickly and urgently that the little kid's head couldn't handle it. He looked at his second brother with sympathy and continued to plant mint with his head down.

Both of them were amused by her "I can't help you" look and burst out laughing.

Mrs. Lin stopped scolding her, and was not in a hurry to hug her daughter. She stood outside and asked her, "Daddy is going to worship the God of Land in a while. Do you want to go and see him, Xinbao?"

"Yes," said Naituanzi, very busy with his job: "But you have to wait a while, until Xinbao finishes planting the vegetables."

"Hey!" Mrs. Lin said with a smile, "My family is waiting for my beloved baby's food to be cooked!"

There weren't many to begin with, so Xinbao planted them carefully, then stood at the edge of the vegetable patch and stretched out his hand: "Hold."

The beautiful mother stepped aside with disgust, stretched out her hand to lift her clothes from the back and pulled her out. She quickly got some water, washed her hands, face and feet, and put on the outfit she had bought yesterday. The second brother took the newly bought ribbon and tied two small bean sprouts for her.

When he was carried out, everyone who saw him couldn't help but exclaim.

The top of this dress is a bit like a ruqun, with two fish embroidered on the chest, but the length is only to the thigh, and it is paired with pants and small embroidered shoes.

The colors are light green and light orange. These two colors are very picky. If someone else wears them, it will look tacky. But the little girl is as white as milk. When she puts them on, she looks like a delicate jade sculpture. Even the old patriarch sighed repeatedly: "Xinbao is really the most beautiful doll in the whole village."

"That's right. When I grow up, matchmakers will be knocking on my doorstep!"

"Maybe a noble man will take a fancy to me and marry me to the city!"

For a country girl, marrying into the city was definitely a honor. Madam Lin didn't agree with it in her heart, but she smiled modestly, looking up from time to time and looking over there.

Building a house is a big deal for country folks, and the process is very complicated. The time calculated by the witch was quite late, and it was not until the beginning of the afternoon that someone shouted, "The auspicious time has arrived!"

Tang Qingshan had already changed into new clothes and was respectfully worshipping the God of Land and his ancestors...

Finally, Naituanzi was almost dizzy from watching. He saw his father standing up and kneeling in front of the altar. He didn't know what god he was worshipping. Then he took a shovel tied with red silk, shoveled some soil, and raised it slightly.

The ceremony is over.

Then everyone removed the altar and prepared to start work.

After watching the fun, the women were reluctant to leave and surrounded Madam Lin, complimenting her before dispersing.

After watching the excitement, Mrs. Hu returned home. While she was washing rice in a hurry, she went to chat with the neighbor next door: "Hey! Hey! Old sister, do you know what excitement everyone saw today?"

Mrs. Liu didn't dare to go out easily now. She knew in her heart that she was trying to make her angry, but she was also anxious and wanted to know what was going on.

After walking around the house for a long time, he walked over and asked angrily, "What kind of excitement can there be in such a remote place?"

As soon as she took over, Mrs. Hu perked up and her voice rose eight octaves: "It is indeed a remote and poor place, but Tang Qingshan is indeed a man who has been in the capital. He is going to build a two-story house! A two-story house!! I heard that the entire second floor belongs to Xinbao. Lin Mulan said that this is called a daughter's embroidery house! Girls in the city all live in this kind of house!"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Liu felt as if a bowl of poison was poured with vinegar. She felt very uncomfortable and anxious.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

After a long while, she said viciously, "A worthless dead girl, don't you think she can handle such a great blessing? They are all a bunch of unethical and unfilial people. I want to see what good life they can have!"

"Haha!" Mrs. Hu gave a fake laugh. "What else can I do? Now that I've left you behind, your life will be just like riding on Nezha's wind-fire wheels! I've already moved into a two-story house, what else do you want to see? Would you like to see Tang Qingshan become an official in the capital?"

"Bah!" Mrs. Liu said angrily, "He is not worthy!"

Mrs. Hu laughed: "It's not up to you to decide whether they are worthy or not. You are not a member of the old Tang family anymore. It's useless to be jealous!"

Mrs. Liu was so angry that she jumped up and down on the spot: "Hu Dafen!"

"Don't yell," said Mrs. Hu. "What's the point of yelling? It's just a waste of energy. If you waste energy, you have to eat more rice and flour. Tell me... who in your family can earn so much rice and flour to make you live a poor life?"

Mrs. Liu was so angry that she started cursing.

Tang Sanshui sat in the room with a gloomy look on his face.

Xiao Liu held her daughter in her arms, hiding in the east room. She hesitated for a long time, gritting her teeth, but finally went out, slowly walked up to him, and said in a low voice: "Third Uncle, our eldest uncle has left us to live a good life. Can you...can you accept this?"

Tang Sanshui gave her a disgusted look.

Little Liu slowly raised her eyes, her gaze met his, then quickly lowered her head, still looking gentle and timid.

They are actually the same kind of people.

She is used to showing weakness, always crying and letting others charge for her.

He was too lazy to even cry, since his mother was always there to fight for him.

I didn’t notice it at ordinary times, but after a few days after the eldest wife left, I had a feeling that “only today I finally see you clearly.” At the same time, I inexplicably had a feeling that “you and I understand each other without any further explanation.”

So Tang Sanshui didn't hide it and said coldly: "What can I do if I'm not willing?"

Little Liu bit her lip, looked at Mrs. Liu in the yard, and slowly approached: "I have an idea..."
