The Daily Life of the Daughter of a Minor Official

Chapter 114 It’s Laba again

　　Everyone had another meal at noon on the second day. After eating, Shu Tong's marriage came to an end. Dong's mother and others packed up and went to the shop to prepare the ingredients for tomorrow's breakfast.

Su Ruojin found that Uncle Hua Ping was not here again, "Is he so busy?"

Dashi smiled and replied: "Brother Huaping often goes to the street to find helpers recently, saying that he wants to make money and marry a wife."

 Did Shu Tongshu’s marriage irritate him? Is she too stingy?

Hearing these words, Xianggui lowered his head and stood quietly in the crowd, without any sense of existence.

Mother Dong glanced quietly and then looked away, looking at the two new servants in the house. Mother Ji was holding Su Silang and standing in the corridor sheltered from the wind and sunshine, making the child laugh, and there was another one standing blankly behind Mao Ya. , who spoke, who stared, who was even more numb than when Xiang Gui first came, and the second lady had a true and kind heart. She also bought such a girl and shook her head secretly.

Su Ruojin thought for a while and told the master when he came over tomorrow morning that if he liked any young lady, just tell her and she would get the money.

Nothing happened. Mother Dong and the others left the Su family courtyard.

 Except for some red silk, the small courtyard was tidy and quiet again.

Lu Dani is someone who can't sit still. As soon as everyone left, she rolled up her sleeves and went to the kitchen to help. After a while, Cheng Yingzhen and Su Ruojin were standing at the door of the kitchen.

The two mothers looked at each other.

Su Ruojin smiled and said, "Mom, you and Mother Ji go to the wing to do some sewing. I'll watch here for a while."

Cheng Yingzhen also found that she couldn't help, so she went to the side room with Ji's mother who was holding Shiro. She closed the door tightly as usual, and the two of them sat together to chat with each other.

 The pots and pans are put away, and dinner begins again. The days repeat themselves like this.

Li Xiuzhu lit the fire, Mao Ya helped, and Lu Dani cooked a light dinner under the guidance of Su Ruojin. It was too much for the three days of weddings.

Lu Dani is talented in cooking. Whatever Su Ruojin says in front of her, she can make in the future. The taste is not much different from what Su Ruojin wants.

 She twitched her eyebrows with joy, this is a capable general!

In ancient times, it was a custom for a new daughter-in-law not to go out for a month. Lu Dani didn't pay attention to it. After lunch on the fourth day, she went to help at her own stall. Originally she refused to eat lunch at home, but Su Ruojin saw it. I'm embarrassed to eat the Su family's meal for nothing.

Let’s not mention that she is Shutongshu’s wife, and everything she eats comes from Shutongshu’s. Let’s just say that she works hard at Su’s house, which is enough for her to eat.

Su Ruojin told her not to be burdened and to just stay at home and do what she should do. Lu Dani got choked up when she talked about it. When she returned to her parents' house, she told Lu Er and his wife about the good things about her master's house one by one.

Lu Er’s wife sighed with emotion, “What a good life!”

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the northwest wind was getting stronger day by day. When I went out, the wind felt like a knife on my face. After teaching the children basic skills and simple fist and kick moves in the shelter of the corridor, Huaping said, "From now until the end of the first month of next year, During this period, I will come every five days, and you will practice by yourself during the rest of the time. When the weather gets warmer, you can practice once a day again. "

Su Ruojin looked at Hua Ping, who was about to slide towards the courtyard door, and quickly stopped him, "Uncle Hua, are you so busy?"

　　"Why are you busy? It's cold in winter. I'll go back and get under the covers as soon as possible."

Su Ruojin stared at him with big eyes like I'm just watching your nonsense.

Hua Pingzha Mao: "Su Erniang, are you looking for someone to monitor me?"

Su Ruojin rolled his eyes, "Who are you? I want someone to spy on you? I asked you to come and make trouble in Shu Tongshu's bridal chamber. You didn't come to make trouble. After the dinner, you slipped away like an awl behind your butt. You didn't even have yesterday's lunch." Come and eat, what are you busy with?”

 Hua Ping: ...I can’t tell you what I’m busy with.

Su Ruojin said: "It hurts to see someone marry a daughter-in-law, so just take action. If you like a young lady, tell me, I will pay for the wedding for you." Hua Ping: ... Skip the wedding and just let someone give birth to me. A daughter like you will do.

Su Ruojin frowned: "Don't believe what I said?"

Huaping: ...Are you serious?

Su Ruojin called out: "Sister Mao, help me get a piece of one hundred taels."

"Hey, hey, no, no..." Seriously, Hua Ping hurriedly walked to the little lady and stopped him with a smile, "I went out to hang out, not to find a lady. Recently, a few friends came to the capital to play, and I will accompany them. them."

"real?"

"of course it's true."

Su Ruojin looked unbelieving.

Huaping reacted, "Hey, Su Erniang, do you care about me?"

"You are my master and the guard of my shop. As the master, shouldn't I ask you where you went to fool around?"

Huaping: ...this little housekeeper, will he take care of me like this when he has a daughter in the future?

In the blink of an eye, it’s Laba Festival again. Last year’s Laba Festival seems to have just passed, and it’s actually the time to cook Laba Rice porridge again. Last night, I soaked and washed all kinds of soybeans, red dates, etc., and started cooking it before dawn.

Ludani was about to get up, but Shutong held her down and said, "Sleep a little longer."

Lu Dani was embarrassed and had to get up. Shutong said, "It was all done last night. Just the Azhu cooking is enough. There is no need for you to get up early."

 “Then I’ll do something else.”

Shutong Naken, hold down the lady, behind...

When Mao Ya got up, she found that Li Xiuzhu's bed across from her was already empty. She had already gone to make Laba porridge. Although she was still silent and refused to speak, she knew that this was enough.

By the time she finished washing and went to the kitchen, the porridge had already boiled and was being simmered over low heat.

The hot water for the host family has been prepared in the connected large pot. When the host family gets up, she prepares the dishes and pickles and waits for everyone to get up at dawn.

Since Li Xiuzhu came, Su Ruojin asked Mao Ya to go to the sleeping room with her. Now she is the only one sleeping in the bedroom. She is quite comfortable. She buries her head in the bed and sleeps until dawn.

She didn't stay in bed either. Although Hua Ping came here only once every five days, she got up every morning and ran in the courtyard every day, and today was no exception. When she got up, Su Yanli and his son also got up and were doing warm-up exercises in the corridor.

 “Dad, morning, big brother, morning!”

 “Ah Jin, don’t you want to sleep more?”

“If you are lazy for one day, you will be lazy for two days, and gradually you won’t be able to get up anymore. Forget it, I’d better get up.”

This makes sense. Su Yanli smiled, with a son and a daughter beside him. The three fathers were running in the yard. Mao Ya from the kitchen also ran over and followed Su Ruojin. After the Su family's father finished running, they rested. She started to punch, and the sound was like wind.

Li Xiuzhu stuck his head out of the stove and looked towards the patio. Mao Ya's thin but not weak figure was so angry that the people who watched her were excited. If she also had the fists and kicks, could she beat up the people who bullied her? Can't climb up?
