Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

Dong Jiafu returned home in a trance.

After getting off the car, she gathered her emotions and came to the main room.

"Mother, I'm back."

"Afu, you're back so soon." Xu Yiwan put down her needle and thread, moved in, and motioned for her to sit on the couch, "Is Mrs. Shen's wife okay?"

"The old lady is fine," Dong Jiafu picked up the fabric she was sewing, "Who is mother making clothes for?"

"Be careful, there are still needles on it, don't prick your hands." Xu Yiwan took the clothes that had just begun to take shape from her hands, "You and your brothers have finished, this is the middle coat made for your father."

"Making clothes is too labor-intensive. Why should mother do it herself? She can just go to a shop outside to make it." Dong Jiafu was worried that she would be tired.

Xu Yiwan put the things aside and replied with a smile: "It doesn't take much effort. I'm idle at home anyway. When we were in Mobei, I sewed the clothes on your father and two brothers. Over and over again, this needlework I’m getting more and more skilled at it. What’s more, if it’s made outside, it’s not as comfortable to wear as if it’s made by my mother, don’t you think?”

What Dong Jiafu was wearing today was the middle coat that her mother had just made for her. It felt very comfortable indeed.

"What mother does is naturally the best, but you should also pay attention to your health. Once you finish doing this for father, you can stop doing it and have a good rest."

"It costs money to let others do it. I did this little thing myself." Xu Yiwan said unconcernedly.

"Is it because the money at home is not enough?"

Dong Jiafu should have thought long ago that the family's food and clothing depended entirely on her father's salary, and without any side income, it was indeed a bit stretched.

"It's not what you think," Xu Yiwan hurriedly explained, "Family

There is still money in it that was rewarded by the Holy Spirit. I was thinking that your second brother wants to do business. He will definitely need a lot of money at the beginning, so I can save a little. "

"It turns out that my mother is worried about this. Don't worry, my second brother and I have carefully calculated it. Excluding the rent, we won't spend much money in the future. I also have some money over there, which can last for a while."

"How can that be done? How can I use your money?" Xu Yiwan disagreed.

"It's nothing. My second brother and I have agreed that we will take care of business together in the future. He is busy outside, so I will contribute some money to write more storybooks and strive to become bigger and stronger." Dong Jiafu pretended. joked.

Xu Yiwan showed her face and said, "Okay, Mom can't help you with anything. She can only support you from behind. Just go ahead and do it. Mom and your father will be there for everything."

"It's great to have a mother--" Dong Jiafu opened her arms and threw herself at Xu Yiwan, hugging her.

Afu has been well-behaved and sensible since she came back. It was rare to be so close to her, and Xu Yiwan laughed happily.

After a while, she suddenly remembered that she had something serious to do. She patted Dong Jiafu's arm and said, "Stop hanging around mom, Ji Yuan is here."

"Ah?" Dong Jiafu got up immediately, "Where are the others?"

Xu Yiwan chuckled, "You and your second brother are not here, so he will naturally go to your eldest brother's place."

"Let Xia Zhi take the plate of peaches, and you go and deliver it to them." Xu Yiwan said, pointing to a plate of fresh peaches on the table below.

"The two of them must be exchanging classics and history, so I won't go over and disturb them, right?"

"It's almost noon, it's time to take a rest. You guys can come over for dinner later. Let's eat crab today.

crab. "

Dong Jiafu's eyes lit up, "Mother asked Mother Guo to buy crabs?"

"I know you, a greedy little cat, like to eat," Xu Yiwan tapped her forehead with her finger, "We didn't buy it, your Aunt Feng had someone deliver it to the capital. After Jiyuan received the stuff, he immediately delivered it to us. come over."

"Oh, so mother is going to retaliate."

Xu Yiwan laughed, "Isn't it still you? Go quickly and send it to them."

"Yes, my mother." Dong Jiafu got down from the couch and motioned to Xia Zhi to get the peaches, "Mother, I'm going to my eldest brother."

Xu Yiwan smiled and waved to her, then picked up the clothes and continued sewing after she left.

Dong Jiafu came to Dong Jiabo's residence and asked the servant to pass the news before going in.

"Brother, I didn't disturb you, did I?" Dong Jiafu saw the two of them standing in front of the desk.

"Afu, you're back." Feng Jiyuan's joy was beyond words when he saw her.

Dong Jiabao greeted: "Huaiyun brought a copybook of Xie Xiu's, Afu, you come and take a look too."

Dong Jiafu stepped forward, looked at the copybook unfolded on the desk, nodded and said: "It is strong and beautiful, with a strong breath. It is Xie Xiu's original work. It is really rare that it is preserved in such a good condition."

"Afu, you also like Xie Xiu's calligraphy?" Feng Jiyuan was a little surprised.

"I don't really understand, I just said it casually."

Dong Jiafu could recognize it because Cui Qiyan also had many famous calligraphy and paintings in his study, which she was lucky enough to see.

"No, you are right. You said the essence of what Xie Xiu wrote, right?"

"Indeed, Afu must be well versed in this to be able to hit the mark." Dong Jiabao looked at his sister with admiration.

Dong Jia

Fu said embarrassedly: "Brother, don't say that. I'm just doing my best in front of you."

"By the way, mother asked me to bring peaches for you to try." She took the plate from Xia Zhi.

"Let me do it."

Feng Jiyuan reached out to take it, and his fingertips accidentally touched Dong Jiafu's hand. Both of them were stunned.

Dong Jiafu reacted, quickly put the plate on the table, and said as if nothing had happened: "I heard from mother that Aunt Feng sent crabs from Yingzhou, and we are also very lucky."

"It's nothing. I know you... you like it, so just eat it fresh." Feng Jiyuan retracted his hands and put them behind his back, feeling that his fingertips were slightly hot.

"Let's sit down and talk outside." Dong Jiabao led the two of them to the hall.

Not long after sitting there, Dong Jialin came back from outside and swept in like a gust of wind. He was a little surprised to see them.

"Hey, why are you all here? Huaiyun is here too."

Dong Jiafu frowned and said, "I thought the second brother came back specially to eat crabs."

"Are there any crabs to eat?" Dong Jialin's expression was exactly the same as Dong Jiafu's when she heard this, "Aunt Feng sent it?"

"How did you know?" Feng Jiyuan was surprised.

"You guessed it, you are here, and this is the time when Yingzhou crabs are at their most juicy. Speaking of which, I really miss it. I haven't eaten crabs from Yingzhou for a long time."

"Mother sent a lot of food to you. I'm sure you can eat it to your heart's content."

"Let's get down to business first," Dong Jialin took out a piece of folded paper from his body, "Brother, please help me see if there is anything wrong with this deed?"

"Is it the deed to take over the bookstore?" Dong Jiabao took it.

"Well, it's all settled. If there's nothing wrong with this deed, it can be signed today.

Character. "

Dong Jiabao read it carefully and returned the deed to him, "You can sign it."

"Brother will feel more at ease after seeing it," Dong Jialin put the deed away and said with a smile, "Let's go, it's almost time, we are waiting to eat crabs."
