Chapter 119 Don't think that there is no one in my house
In the afternoon, Yue Zhongyao tried to coax his daughter, but Wan'er ran away as soon as she saw him approaching.
Yue Zhongyao was very sad.
Yue Zhongyao's mother-in-law, Mrs. Wu, also came here in the middle of the afternoon. She took Liu Meiniang around the construction site to find someone to talk to, as if she were being affectionate with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
It was very exciting for many people to watch.
Yue Zhongyao scolded his mother several times, but Wu did not drag Liu Meiniang home.
Yue Zhongyao glared angrily at his mother who was afraid of the world being in chaos, and he was so angry that his teeth almost broke.
But Mrs. Wu was hurt by Yue Zhongyao's cold face in the past two days, and she secretly resented it. The more Yue Laosan said no, the more Mrs. Wu dragged Mrs. Liu around to chat with people.
Yue Zhongyao was left alone there holding the handle of a hoe and holding back his internal injuries.
At sunset that day, Master Guan and the craftsmen he brought borrowed barrels and other items from Qiao Mingjin's house and went to the village's well together.
There are still few people like Xiahe Village who have a public well. Master Guan and others spoke very well of the tribesman who built this well for the tribe.
Nowadays, in the summer, all the men in the village, young and old, go to the well to take a shower. They scoop a bucket of water from the well, bare their upper body, and roll up their trousers to the top of their thighs. Then they carry the water up from the well.
Pour bucket after bucket on him.
Very happy.
The little kids had their own adults, so they poured water into a big wooden basin, scooped it up with gourds and poured it on themselves. It was also very comfortable. A group of little kids were laughing and laughing by the well, scooping water out of wooden ladles and pouring it on each other.
Splashing and having water fights. It was very lively.
The water in the well was warm in winter and cool in summer. The craftsmen, who had worked all day, had a pleasant bath. They quickly became close to the men in the village...
After taking a shower, Master Guan followed Yun Jin back to Qiao's house for dinner, while the other craftsmen returned to the construction site.
Yue Zhongyao also met Yun Jin at the well and tried to talk to Yun Jin, but Yun Jin ignored him.
Yue Zhongyao handed the barrel and other items to his two brothers and followed Yun Jin to Qiao's house.
"Our family didn't cook for you!" Yun Jin glared at Yue Zhongyao and said.
"I've eaten." Yue Zhongyao replied calmly.
Yun Jin choked,
Then he said: "Go back quickly. Don't invite your whole family here again. Isn't your common wife also here today? Why don't you hurry home and accompany your charming wife!"
Yue Zhongyao frowned and said, "I only have one wife, your cousin!"
"Huh, what you say is better than what you sing!"
Master Guan, who was walking in front, didn't know much about the family's grudges, so he turned back and glanced at the two of them strangely.
Seeing this, Yun Jin couldn't help but let him follow him through the door.
Today, because the master concerned was present, Qiao Mingjin did not serve the table. She only set up a table in the courtyard, and after setting out the dishes and food, she prepared to take Mingqi and Wan'er to the kitchen to eat.
Master Guan invited her twice and said that he didn't care about such things. Qiao Mingjin only said that she didn't know how to drink and she had a little daughter to feed, so she didn't want to delay them, so she withdrew.
Today Zhou Yanqing also brought two jars of good wine, just in time for Yun Jin, Father He and others to have a few drinks with Master Guan.
Wan'er saw that no one was paying attention to Yue Zhongyao in the courtyard. She suddenly felt sad for some reason.
She rubbed her feet and looked carefully towards her mother several times. When she found that her mother was not looking at her, she thought for a while and then took small steps to Yue Zhongyao's side.
Yue Zhongyao's eyes felt a little hot when he saw his daughter walking towards him.
He knelt down and held his daughter's small shoulders, looked at her and said, "Wan'er. Can daddy feed our Wan'er today?"
The little thing turned around and looked towards her mother, then nodded to her father.
Seeing Yue Zhongyao grinning, he also laughed.
Asked: "Daddy, have you eaten? Wan'er helped daddy with the rice..."
"Good daughter..."
Yue Zhongyao was filled with emotion and reached out to touch his daughter's delicate face.
She said softly: "Daddy has eaten. Wan'er went to bring out the rice. Can daddy feed you in the main room?"
The little thing nodded twice, turned around and trotted into the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Wan'er shoveled some of the food on the table into her bowl.
Ming Qi saw him at the side and asked strangely: "Wan'er, can you eat so much? If you can't finish it, see if your mother doesn't spank you!"
Qiao Mingjin really doesn't like people wasting food. Maybe after a period of time when they can't eat white rice, several children know how to save. Mingqi and Wan'er have lived with Qiao Mingjin for a long time, and they also know Qiao Mingjin's habits.
She won't tell you how much you eat. But if you are picky about food, she will be angry if you waste it.
Both children are well aware of Qiao Mingjin's temperament. They both listen to Qiao Mingjin's words and strictly abide by them on weekdays.
The little thing nodded fiercely at her aunt: "I can finish it. Wan'er is hungry today."
Mingqi looked at her suspiciously.
Seeing her carefully walking out with her pointed bowl in both hands, she followed behind and asked, "Wan'er, if you're not eating here, where are you going to take the food?"
"Wan'er wants to go out to eat!"
The little thing responded while carefully holding a bowl that was much heavier than usual and carefully stepped across the threshold of the kitchen.
At this time, Qiao Mingjin was walking towards the kitchen.
Ming Qi hurriedly said to Qiao Mingjin: "Sister, look at Wan'er. She's acting weird today. Even if she pretends to have such a meal, she still doesn't know where she's going to take it."
As soon as Wan'er saw her mother coming over, she blinked her eyes twice and stood there with her feet curled up and her head lowered. However, she still held the bowl in her hands tightly with both hands and leaned against her chest for fear of accidentally dropping it.
Already.
Qiao Mingjin looked at her daughter, who had her head lowered, and then looked at Yue Zhongyao who was standing in the main room, and then said to Mingqi, "Let her be."
Then he said to Wan'er: "Be careful not to break the bowl."
"Hmm. Hold Wan'er carefully so it doesn't fall to the ground."
The little thing grinned and said to Qiao Mingjin, then walked happily to the main room.
Mingqi also followed his figure and glanced over there. When he saw Yue Zhongyao taking two steps over there and taking the little thing's bowl, he said bitterly to his sister: "Sister, what's wrong with him?"
Here we go again! Someone will call the door soon!"
"Let him be. Come on, let's go eat too..."
In the main room, Yue Zhongyao was pulling two small stools for his daughter to sit on. He also took a bowl and sat facing his daughter.
The little thing smiled happily at his father: "Hey, Daddy."
"Okay, daddy."
The little thing opened its mouth wide and took a bite. It looked so sweet. Yue Zhongyao felt so full when he saw it.
When he was about to take the second bite, the little thing pushed the wooden spoon towards Yue Zhongyao.
"Daddy, eat it."
"Dad has eaten. We Wan'er will eat."
The little thing tilted his head: "Wan'er can't finish eating. I packed a lot of food for daddy."
Yue Zhongyao looked at the protruding bowl and saw that his daughter must have filled it for him. How could a little person like her eat so much?
Yue Zhongyao felt his eyes were so sour that he almost shed tears at his daughter.
Said: "Okay, daddy will eat it too."
He opened his mouth and took a bite with the wooden spoon, looking at his daughter's happy face. He felt that the summer evening breeze had soothed away the irritability of the day, and the coolness was refreshing...
After working on the construction site for several days, the foundation was dug. Zhou Yanqing also had people transport stones, slates and other boards. Master Guan also led people into the mountains to select and cut the timber for building the house.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner.
These days, Yue Zhongyao also comes to help every day. He comes earlier than his two brothers who have received serious work.
If Liu Meiniang didn't come to the construction site, Xiao Wan'er would follow her father and talk to her father. If Wu and Liu Meiniang appeared, they would run away, making Yue Zhongyao even more angry with his mother.
Sometimes he would come over to feed his daughter at night. But more often than not, he would be called away halfway, or simply stay at home for various reasons.
I can only walk around the front and back of the house a few times at night after my mother and I have gone to bed. I wonder if I can hear their sweet breathing.
During this period, Qiao Mingjin also asked someone to take a letter back to her parents' home.
Because it was not a serious building of a house, it was just a workshop, and in order to avoid being noticed by others, we did not invite anyone to eat or prepare a banquet when the work started.
So I didn’t know about my mother-in-law’s family either.
It wasn't until a few days after the construction site started that my parents got the letter.
Maybe he heard that Liu Meiniang also moved into her in-law's house. Qiao Mingjin's natal family was packed with people in an oxcart.
In addition to Qiao's father and Qiao's mother, two uncles and aunts, and Yun Jin's wife and eldest cousin-in-law, Mrs. He. Worried that Yun Jin had not seen her son for a long time and fearing that he would miss him, Mrs. He also brought Yun Jin's four-year-old son Yun Luan over.
.
Yun Jin was really happy to see her son.
He threw his son high up several times, causing Xiao Yunluan to scream in excitement.
Mrs. He was very happy to see her father and younger brother. After saying hello to Qiao Mingjin, she went into the father and son's room and searched for dirty clothes and bedclothes. She didn't have any time to spare.
As for Qiao Mingjin's two aunts, as soon as they got off the oxcart, they and Qiao's mother took her aside and talked.
"Jin Niang, don't be afraid. If you want to bully our family, there is no way! We have many family members! How can we be afraid of him!"
Qiao Mingjin didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she saw such a carload of people coming to her parents' house. The crowd seemed to be afraid that she would suffer a loss...
At noon that day, Qiao Mingjin asked Sister Xiu to help buy some vegetables in the village, catch two chickens and kill them, and also asked someone to help her go to Shanghe Village to cut two cuts of pork, and prepare two tables of sumptuous meals to entertain her family.
people.
After Yue Zhongyao learned about it, he also came to the door carrying a jar of wine.
It's just that everyone doesn't seem to be very enthusiastic about him.
The two uncles even pulled him aside and asked him what he meant by letting Mrs. Liu come and live at his house so quickly.
Didn't everyone agree at the beginning that they would marry again in a year?
I don’t know what Yue Zhongyao said to Qiao’s father, Qiao’s mother, and two uncles. Anyway, there was nothing visible on the faces of the crowd. But at least Yue Zhongyao was served on the table for lunch.
At noon, Mrs. Wu got the news and took Ms. Liu to her house and decided to ask Yue Zhongyao to go home for dinner.
But he was stopped halfway by Sister Xiu and Su Shi.
Sister Xiu's son Yue Changhe cleverly ran to Yue's house and called Lao Yuetou. Finally Lao Yuetou came and dragged the two of them back.
A lot of people kept this secret from Qiao Mingjin, and Qiao Mingjin also asked why Wu was so sensible this time.
If she knew about it, Yue Zhongyao would not be allowed to come near the table. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.) hies" hit
