I heard that Yue Zhongyao was also very satisfied with the family named Gu. The two of them had worked together and knew each other's character, so they knew each other well.
After careful analysis with Lao Yuetou, Yue Xiaoman and others, everyone in the family, except the Wu family, fell in love with this family.
It's useless for Wu to do it alone.
She couldn't help but like the daughter she had worked so hard to raise.
Then he followed Yue Zhongyao and Lao Yuetou into the city to marry him, complaining.
Finally, Lao Yuetou made a rare decision, and Yue Xiaoman's marriage was decided.
Qiao Mingjin breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
Wan'er's little aunt is a good girl with a pretty good character. After the couple moved out, they often helped her secretly a few times at the beginning. She would also visit her frequently.
Qiao Mingjin is also happy to see her find a good home.
Hearing that her wedding was scheduled for November, Qiao Mingjin also prepared a gift for her.
Yue Xiaoman's eyes turned red when he received the makeup gift from Qiao Mingjin.
Show it to Yue Zhongyao.
Yue Zhongyao looked at the long and flat box, where a pair of silver-haired men and a red-haired hairpin lay, and his mood was rippling.
"Brother, isn't this too expensive? Our family treats my sister-in-law like that..."
Yue Zhongyao sniffed twice and said in a humming voice: "Your sister-in-law gave it to you, so you can just keep it. It is also your sister-in-law's heartfelt wish."
Yue Xiaoman glanced at her brother and said cautiously: "Brother, didn't my sister-in-law say she wanted to make peace with you? Then..."
Yue Zhongyao glanced at her: "Who said I want to divorce your sister-in-law? You will not have another sister-in-law. Your sister-in-law will always be your sister-in-law!"
He stood up and wanted to walk out.
Before leaving the house, he turned around and said, "Put your things away. Don't let mother know first."
Yue Xiaoman also wanted to let her mother know about her sister-in-law's kindness, and maybe her mother would be nicer to her sister-in-law.
After hearing what her third brother said, she hesitated and nodded.
Yue Zhongyao glanced at her and went out.
In the evening of that day, the sky was dim and the heat had eased a bit. Qiao Mingjin was going to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Wan'er, sweating and flushed, ran in, struggling to carry two pheasants on one hand and one on the right.
The little thing lifted up the pheasants one by one and showed them to Qiao Mingjin. He raised his little face and smiled heartily: "Mom, look! Daddy hunted them! Two pheasants! I told my mother to stew them and eat them. Mom, we will do it tonight.
Have you eaten?"
Qiao Mingjin asked Mingqi to take the two pheasants from the little thing's hand, leaned down to wipe the sweat from the little thing, and then poked into the clothes under her neck, which was also covered in sweat.
Then he said with a straight face: "Didn't Mom tell you not to run around? Look at the sweat all over your body. When the night wind blows, what should you do if you get sick? Do you need to take hard medicine?"
After hearing this, the little thing pursed his lips tightly and shook his head desperately.
Qiao Mingjin poked her forehead and saw that Mingqi was already boiling water and preparing to remove the chicken feathers.
Then he asked his daughter: "Did your father give it to you?"
The little thing grinned and nodded desperately.
Qiao Mingjin glanced at the two dead pheasants on the ground. Now there were no pheasants to hunt in the woods of Hecun. There was not even a single hair on the pheasants and rabbits.
Usually there are a lot of these two wild animals in the forest, but after Qiao Mingjin's instructions, people from Xiahe Village would go into the forest from time to time to sweep. Where could they find any traces of pheasants, pheasants, and hares?
These two pheasants were probably found from afar.
"Your father is gone?"
The little thing looked at Qiao Mingjin cautiously and said, "Maybe... maybe she's still outside. Dad said Wan'er was sweating all over. Dad..."
"Your father wants to help you take a bath?"
The little thing looked at Qiao Mingjin with bright eyes. Seeing that there was no displeasure on Qiao Mingjin's face, he nodded sharply.
Qiao Mingjin rubbed her daughter's hair and said, "Go. Get the clothes ready."
The little thing nodded happily: "Yes! Just wash it at the well platform!"
Seeing Qiao Mingjin nod, she ran out like a gust of wind.
At the entrance of the courtyard, Yue Zhongyao was standing there with an uneasy look on his face. He rubbed his feet against the bluestone.
He entered the forest and walked for a long time before he found two lone pheasants. He was overjoyed. Fortunately, his skills were not new to him and he quickly captured the two pheasants.
Ever since he saw the makeup gift Qiao Mingjin gave to Yue Xiaoman, he had been thinking about how to express his feelings.
When he saw something, he felt very happy.
Jinniang must still have him in her heart. He is her husband, and she is his wife.
"father!"
Yue Zhongyao saw his daughter squeeze out of the door.
He helped open the two doors wider and looked inside, but saw no sign of the person he wanted to see. He leaned down and asked, "Has your mother seen the pheasant?"
Seeing the little thing nodding, he asked again: "Your mother, are you happy?"
The little thing carefully glanced at her father's face, then grinned and said, "Mom is very happy. She even asked my aunt to boil water and said she would stew the pheasant in the evening!"
Yue Zhongyao raised the corners of his mouth when he heard this.
"Mom also asked dad to give Wan'er a bath. She said Wan'er was sweating all over and would have to take hard medicine when the night breeze blew."
Yue Zhongyao looked at his daughter's mouth and pouted, feeling that her daughter was extremely cute. He quickly pulled his daughter into the door and said, "Let's go, daddy, give Wan'er a bath. It won't be good if you catch the cold. Then you will really have to endure hardships."
The medicine is gone.”
Wan'er was very happy being led by her father. From time to time she raised her head and took a sneak peek.
Yue Zhongyao held his daughter's soft little hand, and his heart turned into a puddle of water.
After the father and daughter had prepared their clothes and arrived at the well, Qiao Mingjin had already brought out a bucket of hot water from the kitchen.
Yue Zhongyao quickly stepped forward and took the barrel.
"Here I go, don't let the hot water splash."
Qiao Mingjin looked at her daughter's expectant face, then watched Yue Zhongyao pour a few buckets of well water into the bathtub, then scooped a few gourds of hot water into it and mixed it.
"Mom, no hot water."
"No. You need to wash with warm water so that you won't get sick easily."
The little one is greedy for cold weather, so even at noon, he took Sister Xiu's two children to the house to wash themselves with well water.
The coolness of the well water is refreshing. It's not bad when it's the hottest at noon. It's a dark day and Qiao Mingjin will definitely not let her daughter wash the well water.
Yue Zhongyao looked at his daughter and pouted, and said softly: "Listen to your mother. The water is warm but not hot. After washing, dad will fan you."
"Oh well."
After saying that, he glanced back and forth at Yue Zhongyao and Qiao Mingjin, and timidly asked Qiao Mingjin: "Mom, can you let dad stay for dinner?"
Yue Zhongyao was stunned after hearing this, and then looked at Qiao Mingjin nervously.
Qiao Mingjin paused and glanced at Yue Zhongyao.
The man's face was much darker than when he first came back, and there were a few new marks scratched by branches on his face. He must have been scratched by branches and thorns while chasing pheasants in the forest.
She turned around and saw her daughter looking up at her earnestly. She nodded in agreement.
The little thing screamed twice, then rushed over to hug Qiao Mingjin's thigh, rubbing against it.
Qiao Mingjin scolded her and told her not to wash for too long. Then she turned and went to the kitchen.
Yue Zhongyao kept watching his wife's figure turn towards the kitchen and out of sight, and then moved his eyes back.
With a happy look on his face, he stripped his daughter naked and carried her into the bathtub in a few seconds. Then she started giving her a bath...
In the kitchen, Qiao Mingjin is preparing dinner.
The pheasant chicken was a bit raw and not as tender as domestic chicken. Qiao Mingjin chopped it into small pieces and boiled it with hot water in a pot. After removing the blood, she put it in a small casserole and stewed it. Then she added some ginger cubes.
Add wolfberry and mushrooms.
Today's dinner took a little long to cook.
Fortunately, in summer, the days are long and the nights are short, so I sleep late. I don’t think it’s a big deal.
After Yue Zhongyao gave his daughter a bath, he smelled that he was also covered in sweat. Thinking that Jin Niang was a tidy person, he sent his daughter away. He then found two pieces of clothes that were still in the side room and washed himself
After peeling off only a pair of trousers, he poured water on himself.
Fortunately, the well was built in the backyard, and his daughter was guarding it on the outside. In addition to preventing Mingqi from breaking in, he was not afraid of being seen by Jin Niang.
I fetched several buckets of water and poured a few buckets of water on my head. I just felt comfortable all over.
Every pore is filled with coolness.
I wiped it on my face a few times and when I was about to change my clothes, I realized I didn't bring a cotton towel.
After thinking about it, he raised his voice and called his daughter who was guarding outside.
When Wan'er heard this, she ran to ask her mother for it.
"Mom, are there any clean cotton towels?"
"What's it for?"
"Dad needs to wipe himself after taking a shower."
Ming Qi was sitting in the stove going to feed firewood to the stove. Hearing this, he glared at the little thing.
The little thing timidly moved towards Qiao Mingjin.
Qiao Mingjin glanced at the little thing and said, "The box where the hostess put the quilt is in it. Do you know which one it is?"
The little thing didn't even look back. He ran and said, "I know!" and then ran away.
"sister!"
"Stir up your fire. He is still your brother-in-law. He is still Wan'er's father."
Mingqi angrily threw a few more thick firewood into the stove, blocking it until black smoke started to pour out.
"Start the fire well! With so much filling, can it be burned? Or is it not enough?"
Mingqi hid and coughed while hurriedly pulling out firewood.
The firewood was taken out and buried in the ashes under the stove, and the fire was extinguished.
After Yue Zhongyao changed his clothes, he sat by the well platform again, wiped his wet hair dry, casually grabbed a handful at the back of his head, and tied it with the original wooden hairpin.
Then he got up and took the soap locust and squatted by the well to wash his and Wan'er's clothes.
Wan'er moved a small stool and sat watching, joking with her father from time to time, scooping water out of the wooden bucket with a gourd and ladle, rubbing it twice when she felt like it, and then putting the washed clothes into the wooden bucket.
Throw water.
Had a great time.
That night Yue Zhongyao finished dinner at Qiao Mingjin's house before returning. He waited until He, Xia and others came to Qiao Mingjin's house to enjoy the cool air, then turned and left.
Listening to the chatter and laughter outside the yard, the harmonious atmosphere of husband and wife, father and daughter just now seemed to have disappeared again.
Yue Zhongyao hid in the dark and listened for a while, then sighed sadly and left. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support is my greatest motivation
