Chapter 6 Uninvited Guests
The next morning.
The sounds of cockcrows and dogs barking gradually rose.
Before dawn, Lu Qingyao handed Jiang Miaomiao to her two brothers and went out.
When Jiang Miaomiao opened her eyes.
What meets the eye is the blue sky with a few cotton-like white clouds floating in it.
The sound of birds singing is endless.
"Miaomiao is awake?" Jiang Zifeng poured goat milk from a small silver pot, warmed it up and fed it to his sister.
After eating and drinking, Jiang Miaomiao lay in the wooden basin and licked her fingers happily.
For the first time, I ate a full meal and felt satisfied!
After eating, I watched my elder brother practicing boxing in the yard. He was so good at it, "Hehehe..."
Her second brother, Jiang Ziyan, sat beside her and read in a childish voice, "Learn and practice it from time to time..."
Isn’t this the Analects of Confucius?
Jiang Miaomiao watched her eldest brother practicing boxing, and then watched her second brother studying.
Sometimes he kicks his calves, sometimes he blows bubbles.
Even though she didn't know how to box, she could see that her brother was extremely talented.
He must be the legendary martial arts genius!
The second brother is even more powerful.
He put down the book and started reciting to her...
I memorized the Four Books like a little monk chanting scriptures.
He thought to herself that she fell asleep.
Endorsing something is more hypnotic than telling a story.
[Someone is here. The fierce woman from yesterday is here...]
Jiang Miaomiao woke up from her dream. She was now very sensitive to the voice of this red bird.
It sounds like a parrot, but clearer and more pleasant.
In short, it is different from the human voice.
The footsteps approached and there was another knock on the door.
“Knock, knock, knock…”
Jiang Miaomiao tilted her head to watch her elder brother Jiang Zifeng go to open the door, but as a baby who was only a few months old, she had no control over her body.
Second brother Jiang Ziyan reached out and picked her up, holding up her little head.
Liu Yu Niang grabbed Jiang Qiao'er and pushed the door open, turning her head to glance around the yard.
"Where's your mother? She won't run away, will she?"
Seeing that no one answered her, she walked to the wooden basin and saw the silver pot inside at a glance.
Suddenly his eyes lit up and shone.
I can't let it go.
As if he found something wrong, he picked it up and smelled it...
She threw the silver pot back and grabbed Jiang Qiao'er's ears, "You little bastard, how dare you lie to me? Look! I told you you stole your brother's goat milk, but you're still stubborn. Tell me, did your father ask you to take it?"
"I didn't steal..." Jiang Qiaoer wiped her tears.
"How dare you lie to me." Liu Yu Niang pulled out a cane from somewhere and pretended to hit her.
Jiang Qiao'er didn't hide either. Her mother was just making all the noise but doing nothing, so she didn't want to really hit her and was just trying to scare her.
Jiang Ziyan quickly hugged his sister and hid to the side, fearing that she would be accidentally injured.
"Aunt, please don't be violent." Jiang Zifeng tightly grasped the cane that Liu Yu Niang had just raised in her hand, but the boy was too strong and he couldn't pull it out no matter how hard he tried.
A little embarrassing.
She didn't mean to hit anyone, but when she saw the boy she thought of his father, and she felt a surge of anger.
"You little bastard, what does it have to do with you that I discipline my own daughter? Do you want to be beaten too?"
A woman and a little boy, just standing there like fighting cocks.
The stalemate lasted for a while.
No one wants to give in.
“Cough cough cough…”
As soon as Lu Qingyao came back, she saw this scene and coughed lightly a few times.
"Feng'er, let go quickly! How can you be so rude to your elders?"
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Liu Yu Niang wanted to beat Jiang Zifeng, but she was suppressed by Jiang Zifeng's momentum.
Seeing that she was a little embarrassed, Liu Yu Niang threw away the cane, straightened her sleeves, and said confidently, "It's good that you're back. I came here just to confirm whether my Qiao'er stole her brother's goat milk. I don't know which kid ate it."
"I didn't steal it. I bought it from Qiaojie." Lu Qingyao's face was solemn. She stuffed five coins into Jiang Qiaoer's hand and asked, "Is that enough?"
Even though she usually speaks softly and gently, she still looks a bit fierce when she puts on a stern face: "Sister-in-law, if you have nothing to do, please ask the head of the village to come to your house now. I will go to your house to pay you back after I feed the child."
"That's enough, that's enough. I'll be waiting for my sister-in-law at home. Let Qiao'er share some more goat milk tomorrow." Liu Yu Niang's originally gloomy face suddenly brightened with a smile, and she pulled her daughter home.
She was just afraid that this family would run away secretly. If she missed this opportunity, her family’s debt would probably be hopeless for the rest of her life.
After seeing everyone leave, Jiang Miaomiao cuddled tightly in her second brother's arms.
Looking for her mother, she wants to find her mother.
That woman called her a brat...
"Is Miaomiao scared?"
When Lu Qingyao took the baby, she saw that her little mouth was pouting, and she looked like she wanted to cry but couldn't. She looked so pitiful!
Undress her and feed her.
Sure enough, breast milk is the best soothing agent for babies.
After spending a month together, she felt that the little girl was very smart, and her pair of black eyes seemed to be able to speak.
Looking at the delicate little baby, he looked sleepy after eating.
I couldn't help but give her a kiss.
All the fatigue disappeared immediately.
"Yan'er, put the silver pot away. Don't take it out again when there are outsiders around."
This thing is very common in wealthy families in the capital, and there must be several of them, big and small.
Some people use it to hold cow or goat milk, and some people use it to make tea.
It can keep food stored longer and prevent it from spoiling.
But in the eyes of the country people, this is a rare item.
A heap of glittering silver...
"Mom, why don't we bury her under a tree." Jiang Ziyan said as he went to find a hoe.
"That's not necessary, just hide it. Feng'er and Yan'er, I'm afraid you'll have to live a hard life with your mother for a while from now on."
Lu Qingyao called her two sons to her side.
A hole was dug under the peach tree in the yard.
She packed up the jade pendant hidden in her inner clothes, the gold pig bracelet with red thread in the brocade box, the small golden locket, and the green bracelet, put them all into a jar, and buried them under the peach tree.
Jiang Miaomiao looked at the peach tree at this moment and felt that it was shining with golden light.
As a result, there was really no valuable thing to be found in the house, and even their clothes were replaced with coarse cotton jackets.
My mother looks like a village woman.
A fair and pretty village woman.
The two brothers didn't seem to care much about gold and silver clothes, they only cared about one thing at the moment.
"Mom, we're hungry!"
Lu Qingyao patted her two sons' heads and said, "I'll return the money to your uncle and come back to cook. You guys take good care of your sister."
"Mother, do you really want to return it?" Jiang Ziyan felt that this was not like his mother's behavior, and couldn't help asking.
"After all, it's your father who owes it. If we want to stay here, I'm afraid using force won't work. Don't worry about it. Just be prepared to meet Mr. Cui. Mother Qian will think of a way. What we give away now will be doubled back from your father in the future." Lu Qingyao touched her son's head.
Then he took out a wooden box from his backpack, and took out two chickens, a bag of rice and flour, a box of snacks, and some incense and paper money.
He handed the snacks to the two brothers and went out with the wooden box.
Jiang Miaomiao guessed that there must be silver inside.
About an hour.
Mother is back.
Holding a pot of goat milk and a few eggs in his pocket.
But Jiang Miaomiao discovered that the silver hairpin on her mother's bun was gone...
That night, the whole family had a full meal, including fine grain rice, chicken soup, and egg custard.
Jiang Miaomiao also had a full meal of milk and dozed lazily in her mother's arms.
I watched my mother cut a chicken leg into two halves, putting one piece in my eldest brother's bowl and one in my second brother's bowl.
The last two chicken legs returned to her own bowl, and she had to divide the chicken legs into three parts.
I have to say that my mother raised my two brothers very well.
I don’t know if my mother’s skills have improved.
Anyway, it seems that the two brothers are eating very happily.
It's late at night and everyone is asleep.
Jiang Miaomiao, who was blowing bubbles and dreaming about eating chicken legs, was woken up by an annoying sound again.
[Jiang Miaomiao, the weasel is coming. Your chickens are going to be stolen by the weasel...]
