Xiao Facai was busy greeting the guests. After Xiao Le and Mo Cheng helped him, Xiao Facai got away and went to find his wife and children. Even after Aunt Xiao apologized to their husband and wife with sobs, Xiao Facai did not feel relieved.

After Aunt Xiao and the others left, Xiao Facai said to Xiao Fafu and the others, "I know her very well. Even if I say I was wrong, I still think that it is not worth mentioning in my heart. Who is to blame? Blame grandma back then. Excessively eccentric."

Raising Aunt Xiao so selfishly.

Speaking of which, Grandma Xiao is also an extremely selfish person.

Xiao Le patted Xiao Facai on the shoulder, then said to Xiao Fafu, "Remember?"

"You still need to say it?"

Xiao Fafu sneered, and was dragged away to drink again.

The addition of a new member to the big family does not seem to have changed anything, but it was quite surprising for Xiao Le to learn that Aunt Xiao did not give Sister-in-law Fa Fu a "smackdown". Still feeling uncomfortable, so I came to Xiao Wang to complain.

"Don't think that I don't know her mind, so I don't follow her way!"

Second Aunt Xiao was a little proud of seeing through each other's little thoughts, "Look, she tossed her daughter-in-law to the point of miscarriage, and I heard that her son was very depressed, so Lao Zhang might send her back to her mother's house again." went."

Xiao Wang frowned while hugging her little granddaughter, "Why can't you live a good life?"

"Who knows?"

Second Aunt Xiao pursed her lips, and touched the child in Xiao Wang's arms strangely, "This child is really easy to take care of. She doesn't cry or make trouble. Her mother is going to the market, so she won't look for her."

"I'll do it if I'm hungry," Xiao Wang said with a smile. Liu Sisi had finished confinement and had been holding back at home for a month. Today happened to be the market day, so she went for a walk with Xiao Chengyun. The child was used to being taken care of by Xiao Wang. , I don’t cry, but I’m sure I’ll howl twice when I’m hungry.

Fortunately, there is a lot of sugar at home. When I am hungry, I will mix some sugar water to deal with it first, and I will have a full meal when Liu Sisi comes back.

Mo Cheng went back to Mo's house a few days ago, he had to arrange the housework well, Xiao Le was going there too, but Mo Cheng felt sorry for him and didn't want him to follow him across the mountains, so Xiao Le stayed at home with.

Listening to what Second Aunt and Xiao Wang said, Xiao Le asked from the side, "Did the village chief say that the barren hill beside the pine tree in the west of the village is going to be opened?"

"That's right," Second Aunt Xiao nodded, "but the land there is very barren, and even if it is opened, I don't think there is much to do."

"No," Xiao Wang nodded again and again, "men don't want to go, and the homework is still piled up, so go open up wasteland?"

"let me tell you……"

Xiao Le rubbed his chin, talked to them, and went to the west side of the village to have a look, and found that the mountain was indeed a little barren, and even planting tea trees was a bit far-fetched, so Xiao Le lost his mind and walked back slowly Walk.

As a result, they met Xiao Fafu and his wife on the way. Even if they didn't hold hands, their eyes were very sticky.

"Brother Fafu, sister-in-law Fafu."

Xiao Le said hello.

"Going to see the barren mountains?"

Xiao Fafu raised his eyebrows.

"Yeah, I was thinking about it at first, but after reading it," Xiao Le shook his head, "I don't know what the village chief is going to do."

"There's nothing I don't understand," Xiao Fafu lowered his voice, "What decree did the new lord issue? Anyway, it is to drive the villagers to earn money or to increase the grain output. There are rewards. Our village is just such a barren mountain. You can’t get out of it.”

"But the land is not good, what to plant?"

Xiao Le asked.

"We don't need to worry about this, it is said that the top will give the seeds."

"Yeah? Why don't you sell it after it's opened?"

"I don't know what the village head thinks, it should be public land, and some will be distributed at the end of the year?"

Xiao Fafu didn't know either.

After saying a few words, Xiao Le waved to them and went home.

"Mo Cheng doesn't know when he will come back," Xiao Wang said to Xiao Le when Second Aunt Xiao had already left.

"Why, you've only been thinking about it for a few days?"

Xiao Le smiled.

"That child is so caring." Xiao Wang liked it very much. "If you want me to say, you should go with him, so that you can come back together."

"I want it too……"

Before the dog man left, he slapped him hard, and he overslept the next day, and he didn't know when he left.

Xiao Le wrote down this account silently, and sooner or later he will clean up the other party!

"Anyway, he is from our family, you all have to treat him well," Mrs. Xiao muttered when she saw Chrysanthemum coming out of the room.

Chrysanthemum is [-] years old this year, and she is getting slimmer, her voice has changed a bit, "Mother, even if you don't tell me, we know how to do it."

"Yes," Xiao Le felt a little guilty, "If there is me in this family, there is him, and if there is no me, he is also there."

Mrs. Xiao Wang always felt that this was a bit unlucky, so she immediately gave him a glare. Xiao Le changed the subject, "Father has stayed at Uncle Wu's house for so long and hasn't come back. I'll go and have a look."

"Leave him alone," Xiao Wang waved his hand, "I just finished the work in the field, let him have a rest, I think he is going to ask you, Uncle Wu, about the barren mountain."

"Mother," Chrysanthemum turned pale after returning from the toilet, "Mother..."

Xiao Wang was taken aback for a moment, then she understood immediately, and handed her little granddaughter to Xiao Le lightly, "Hold her out for a while, don't make too much noise, you can coax her when you cry."

Xiao Le snorted and went out with his little niece in his arms.

After the chrysanthemum in the yard saw him go out, she pulled Xiao Wang with tears in her eyes, "Bleeding..."

"That's because our chrysanthemums have grown up. Didn't I tell you this before?"

Xiao Wang took her to the house.

"But I'm still scared..."

When Liu Sisi and the others came back, they saw Xiao Le strolling in the yard with the child in his arms.

Xiao Chengyun was a little sweaty, Xiao Le avoided his hands, "Be careful that my niece smells bad."

"... She hasn't disliked me yet, but you started first."

"I despise you, don't talk about her, right sister-in-law?"

Xiao Le handed the child to Liu Sisi with a double standard. Liu Sisi showed a smile, lowered her head and kissed the child's cheek, "Are you crying?"

"I didn't cry or make a fuss, I've been sleeping until now," Xiao Le said in a low voice, afraid of waking the child, "but it should be soon."

As soon as the voice fell, the little guy who felt his mother's breath began to stretch his limbs, then arched his little head towards Liu Sisi's body, Xiao Le immediately looked away, and dragged Xiao Chengyun into the yard.

"Today, I met informants from several villages. I heard from them that there were indeed salesmen who were looking for them, but because the price was higher than ours, they refused."

This informant was casually picked up by Liu Sisi, who was the person who opened a canteen in the village.

"Fortunately, we have the reputation of foresight," Xiao Le smiled triumphantly, "Is there a suitable shop?"

"Not yet, but the lease of the shop next to the teahouse is about to expire. I've inquired about it and it might move out next month, so I'll ask about it on the next market day."

If you can make a decision, make it quickly, so that their department stores can also open quickly.

This department store is also named by Liu Sisi, after all, their goods are much more than grocery stores, so it is really appropriate.

"Then I'll go with you when the time comes, maybe I can meet brother Mo Cheng."

Xiao Le chuckled.

The two brothers put away the things they bought in the basket one by one, and saw Chrysanthemum with reddish eyes being led by Mrs. Xiao from the backyard.

"Trained?"

Xiao Chengyun asked Chrysanthemum in a low voice.

Chrysanthemum blushed, turned around and entered the room without answering.

When Liu Sisi came in with the child in her arms and saw this scene, she was also a little puzzled, but when she saw her mother-in-law winking at her, she immediately understood.

Speaking of her sister-in-law's menstruation has not come, she is also a little worried, so she reminds her mother-in-law to tell the other party some things first, so as not to scare her sister-in-law.

Looking at her mother-in-law now, she knew that her sister-in-law had grown up, so Liu Sisi breathed a sigh of relief.

The family sat in the yard enjoying the spring sunshine, and then they talked about accepting apprentices.

It was Xiao Wang who asked Liu Sisi, "Many people have begged me, and I don't know how to answer."

Since Liu Sisi took in two apprentices, Chrysanthemum and Plum Blossom, Plum Blossom has improved the most, and when she embroiders with the little sisters, hers are the most beautiful, and everyone knows that she has a good master.

So many aunts or mother-in-laws in the village who were familiar with Xiao's family came to ask Mrs. Xiao for news.

"I'm fine," Liu Sisi said with a smile, "Speaking of which, the eldest lady may also send someone over."

"That's a noble family," Xiao Wang took a breath, "Would we, who live in ordinary food,..."

"It's okay," Liu Sisi comforted her mother-in-law, "Is the eldest lady not clear about our family's conditions? Sending him here must be well thought out."

"Sister-in-law is right," Xiao Le nodded, looking at Xiao Wang, "What we are worried about now is not this, but where to teach."

"Isn't that simple?" Xiao Chengyun pointed to the east wing room, "These two rooms have been empty all the time, and the wall in the middle is demolished, and it becomes a big room."

It was originally a guest room, but it is not for the Chinese New Year, and there will be no guests at home, so it is usually empty.

"I think it's okay," Xiao Wang said without objection, and was even a little excited, because she knew that once the reputation was made public, there would definitely be more people coming, the family would get rich, and the reputation would spread.

When Xiao Dazhu came back, the family had already started to figure out how to arrange it in the East Wing.

"Break down the wall? Why?"

Xiao Dazhu was dumbfounded.

Xiao Le explained briefly, and Xiao Dazhu immediately rolled up his sleeves, "Then let's take it apart now."

Liu Sisi couldn't help laughing, "First, please confirm with the aunts how many people are coming."

"I'll go right away," Xiao Wang said before leaving in a hurry.

"I haven't eaten yet!"

Xiao Le chased to the gate of the courtyard and shouted.

Mrs. Xiao Wang stopped to look at the sky, ouch, it was almost noon, and it was really inappropriate to go to someone's house at this moment, so she came back and planned to go after lunch.

"Don't raise poultry, it's quite comfortable," Ah Shan was going to Aping's house to raise a piglet, but he didn't want Mo Cheng to follow him.

Mo Cheng: I'll take one and raise it there.

Ah Shan rolled his eyes, "You are a married person, you really can't keep it."

Mo Cheng just laughed.

"If there is one that suits you, keep an eye on it with me, brother. You know what I like," Ah Shan winked at him, making Brother Qing, who was standing at the gate of his courtyard, look disgusted.

"Don't harm Mo Cheng, it's not easy to be a matchmaker these days."

"You are a full man who doesn't know that a hungry man is hungry!"

Ah Shan dissatisfied, "Is it easy for me? I'm the only one among us!"

"Who is to blame? Ah Bo showed you so many men," Brother Qing laughed while they watched Little Piggy.

"I'm the one at the top, and the ones that Uncle showed me are all the same as me, so of course I'm not happy."

"If you don't try, how do you know you're on top?"

Brother Qing laughed even louder, and Mo Cheng also curled the corners of his mouth.

"By the way," Ah Shan ignored his teasing and looked at Mo Cheng, "Honestly speaking, are you going up or down?"

Mo Cheng raised his eyebrows and looked at him calmly.

Ah Shan was defeated after a while, "Okay, I asked a nonsense."

"Hahahahahaha..."

Brother Qing's laughter drove Ah Shan crazy, and just about to beat someone, Ah Ping brought water to feed the sow, "Have you chosen?"

After Mo Cheng looked carefully, he chose a flowered pig.

"This is a little sow."

Aping reminded.

Raising sows is a delicate and troublesome job, although it can bring in some money every year.

Mo Cheng was taken aback for a moment, Brother Qing grabbed one and yelled, "Is this okay?"

Mo Cheng nodded, Brother Qing tied the little pig's neck with a rope, and Mo Cheng could take the little pig away just by holding the rope.

The piglet who came out of the pigsty for the first time was curious.

"I'm here to raise sows!"

Ah Shan looked at Mo Cheng, "Use your pig pen to raise?"

Mo Cheng nodded, it was empty anyway.

Seeing Mo Cheng's tall body leading a piglet away, the few people were silent for a while, and then suddenly burst out laughing.

"Oh my mother! What a strange look!"

"Do you think Xiao Le will die laughing when he sees Mo Cheng like this?"

"Surely, hahahahahaha..."

Xiao Le was growing vegetables in the field when he heard the whining of a piglet from the side of the road. He raised his head in a daze. Whose pig escaped?

In the end, he saw Mo Cheng standing on the side of the road smiling, holding a little pig by his hand.

"Yeah! Are you back?"

Xiao Le just finished his work, and immediately came to the side of the road with a hoe on his back and a basket on his back.

Mo Cheng took his hoe and held him with his other big hand.

"I thought you weren't coming back."

Hearing his yin and yang words, Mo Cheng felt a little bit wrong, he squeezed Xiao Le's hand to express his fault.

Xiao Le pinched it back hard, "Don't do this next time."

His response was a light scratch on the palm of his hand.

Xiao Le raised his lips unconsciously, "Adopted at Aping's house?"

The hand was shaken: yes.

"Is that how you brought it all the way back?"

Xiao Le asked again.

Mo Cheng: Yes.

"It didn't run around?"

Mo Cheng: Very obedient.

One of them asked, the other gestured occasionally, and they arrived home soon.

It was getting dark now.

Xiao Chengyun was about to go out to look for someone, but when he arrived at the gate of the yard, he saw the two of them came back, and there was a little pig walking under his feet.

"Oh my god, Mo Cheng, you bring meat every time you go home, but this time you brought it alive."

Xiao Chengyun joked.

Mo Cheng laughed.

Xiao Le said, "You have to watch this pig closely. It's out of the trap once, and it may go beyond the trap in the future."

Mo Cheng nodded with a serious face.

Xiao Chengyun chuckled, shouted into the house, and asked Mo Cheng to rest. He and Xiao Le put the piglet in the pen. The family had already adopted a piglet. There were two empty pigpens in their house. Stay empty, just right.

"Ouch, I lost weight."

Because Mo Cheng came back, Mrs. Xiao Wang temporarily cooked a piece of bacon, and kept adding meat to him while eating.

"It's only been a few days, how did you lose weight?" That's what Xiao Le said, but Xiao Le still picked up some cold wild vegetables for Mo Cheng. "The wild vegetables in this season are very tender. I dig the chrysanthemums. They are delicious."

Mo Cheng smiled and nodded.

"I'll stay here this time," Xiao Dazhu said softly after learning that Mo Cheng's land was temporarily planted by his good brother.

"Yeah, I don't even bother to run back and forth, just let Xiao Le accompany you home and have a look when I have time."

Xiao Wang felt sorry for him that he didn't have a bowl of hot food to eat when he went home.

"Did you hear?"

Xiao Le poked his arm.

Mo Cheng nodded, grabbed his hand and put it under the table.

After seeing this scene, Liu Sisi blinked.

Xiao Chengyun was so focused on the child in his arms that he didn't notice it.

The in-laws and sister-in-law didn't even notice.

After Mo Cheng came back, the work at home became much easier. Mrs. Xiao Wang complained that he didn't take care of the family and regarded himself as an old scalper.

"He just regards this place as his family, that's why he is so diligent," Xiao Le argued for him, "Brother Mo Cheng is just like this, honest and diligent, and a very good daughter-in-law."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xiao Wang who thought she was joking with others lightly slapped Xiao Le, and then laughed himself, "If you have the ability to marry a woman like Mo Cheng, I will wake up laughing even from a dream gone."

How capable and good looking.

Xiao Leqing coughed, "I really think so, but I'm afraid you won't like it."

"Is there anything you don't like, you have to think about it soon, your brother Fafu is married."

Xiao Wang, who didn't realize the meaning of his younger son's words, teased him.

Xiao Le stroked his chin, and decided that he still had to let Mo Cheng get his favor.

Mo Cheng was also very good, he did everything Xiao Wang could do, and let her take her little granddaughter with peace of mind, even the pigweed was prepared by him, so Xiao Wang didn't have to worry about it at all.

This made Xiao Wang love the child even more.

On a good day, the family cleaned up the east wing and went to a carpenter to make a long table and stools.

The village sent girls over one after another, and Liu Sisi got busy. There were more girls in the family, so Xiao Le went to the town with Xiao Chengyun and Mo Cheng to get busy.

Fortunately, the girls only came in the morning and worked at home in the afternoon, so when Xiao Le and the others came back, there was no one else at home.

Sure enough, the eldest lady sent two children, who were not yet ten years old, and had a good tutor. She brought a woman over every morning and returned to town around noon.

Because the roads in their village were narrow and it was difficult for carriages to pass, the eldest lady sent people over to discuss with the village head for a while, and the village head directly led people to repair the road to a place where horse-drawn carriages could pass.

The work was not in vain, and soon the village sent some cotton clothes. Although they were old, they were warm. The village chief gave them to those families who came to help with the work.

I thought that the two children of the eldest lady were very expensive, but not long after, the eldest lady personally sent three girls, who were only ten years old.

The silk and satin and the hairpin let Xiao Wang's family know that these three children are more precious.

But he was well educated, and he didn't show his disgust because of the peasant family. On the contrary, he respected Liu Sisi as a master.

Xiao Le said with emotion to Mo Cheng, "I used to listen to people say that the children of rich families are very arrogant and domineering, and they are not likable at all. In fact, when I think about it carefully, I thought they were born with a higher starting point than ordinary people. So the tutoring they receive will be stricter, and of course they will be better than ordinary people."

Mo Cheng smiled and pinched his nose: This is natural, if generations are really so arrogant and stupid, then the family will win or lose.

"Yes," Xiao Le nodded, "It's a pity that many people write nonsense with their own guesses."

Day by day, the little niece looks different every day, and what she likes most every day is to lie on Xiao Wang's shoulder and drool at the girl in the East Wing.

Jicai, who was older than her, would not look at him every time Second Aunt Xiao picked her up to play with her.

Ji Cai liked this cousin very much.

There is a large department store in the town, which has everything in it, and the price is acceptable, except for food, as long as you lack anything at home, you can almost buy it there.

Xiao Chengyun is the shopkeeper of the department store, and Xiao Le and Mo Cheng are responsible for going to the eldest lady's natal house to pick and buy goods every month. This business is really too busy, so they dragged Xiao Fafu over.

Xiao Fafu's mouth is very powerful, and the business is even better.

So Xiao Le couldn't hide, and basically ran to the shop every day.

"This back and forth is enough, let's buy a cow too."

When he got home that day, Xiao Le was extremely hot, Mo Cheng hurriedly brought herbal tea for him and Xiao Chengyun to drink some.

The two brothers were wandering around the department store, except that Mo Cheng and Xiao Le went to buy goods every month, most of the rest of the time was working at home, otherwise Xiao Dazhu would be exhausted.

After all, Liu Sisi is also busy teaching his disciples now, and Mrs. Xiao Wang is taking care of the children.

"purchase!"

Xiao Dazhu was the first to agree.

Xiao Wang also nodded repeatedly, "Hi Niu, Chengyun, go to the county to have a look when you have time."

"Okay," it was really too hot this day, even in the evening, it was too hot for them to rush back.

After eating, Xiao Le took Mo Cheng to take a bath in the river.

Now Mo Cheng won't blush and have nosebleeds anymore, and even deliberately take Xiao Le to a hidden place, occasionally stealing it once or twice.

It's also exciting at home, but what I like most is when Dekong takes Xiao Le to the back mountain, just like Aping and the others, the life of the two is not to mention how comfortable.

"What happened to Chrysanthemum today?"

As soon as he came back, he found that Chrysanthemum was not in the right mood, so Xiao Le leaned on Mo Cheng and asked softly.

Mo Cheng: I'm at the bottom, I feel bad.

Xiao Le understood, "Sister-in-law will release her," he said as he held Mo Cheng's hand and rubbed it on his neck.

Mo Cheng understood and brought him into a more hidden place.

When they got home, Xiao Chengyun noticed that the corners of Xiao Le's eyes were red, "Are you crying?"

Xiao Le was taken aback, "Huh?"

"The voice is also a little hoarse." Xiao Chengyun felt that he might have guessed right, "No way, are you really crying?"

Mo Cheng coughed, and slipped away when Xiao Le looked over.

He did cry a little.

Xiao Le watched the culprit leave, so he could only stalk his neck and explain to his brother indiscriminately, and when he entered the room, he bit Mo Cheng's hand.

Mo Cheng hugged him and rubbed against him.

Xiao Le froze, rolled to the other side roundly, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, "Ah, I'm so sleepy, I'm asleep, I'm asleep."

There was no movement here, and soon Xiao Le felt a gust of cool wind, and opened his eyes to see that Mo Cheng was fanning himself with a big cattail fan with a smile on his face.

Xiao Le groaned, then rolled back into the man's arms.
