Chapter 807: matching
Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen were arranging the jars containing wild duck eggs. The couple were talking about Li Haitang. They were from Lucheng and hadn't been back for more than a year, so they got used to it now.
I don't miss home very much, but I miss my nephew Sixi.
"Hey, big brother and sister-in-law are late, our family is poor and we can't afford food, otherwise we can't be taken away by people's teeth."
At first, he was able to survive, but then he couldn't, especially after he broke his leg, the life at home became worse, and the Chinese New Year was spent moaning and sighing.
The nephew could eat, so he could only save his own rations. Unexpectedly, the baby was too sensible, insisting that he was full, but in the end, he fainted from hunger many times.
They gave it to Huang Ji Yahang. They didn't ask for money. They just hoped to find a good house for their nephew, enough to eat and clothe him. It was him who was incompetent as an uncle.
"Father, it was so hard at that time. I went out to wash clothes, and people bullied me. They mixed silk and satin clothes into my laundry tub, and lied that I had ruined the fabric. The wages of two hundred yuan were one copper None."
At that time, the family ran out of food, if the host and his wife hadn't come to the door, they are still living a hard life now.
Hard times, hungry, Second Aunt Chen felt that she could bear it, so she felt sorry for the children in the family. Their lives were so good. The wife's medical skills were amazing, and she healed the child's father's leg, allowing them to live a good life.
Now, they came to the capital, here is the foot of the Great Qi emperor, how many people spend their whole life wandering around a few streets, while the whole family trekked mountains and rivers to come to the capital.
"I don't know what's going on with Sixi. With Young Master Jin Hu, I can't live a bad life."
The couple were chattering, when they saw Li Short Legs almost running over, shaking his arms frantically.
Li Short Legs is over twenty years old, ten and eight years younger than Second Uncle Chen, but he can't stand his younger generation, so he usually calls him Second Uncle and Second Aunt, just to get close.
Uncle Chen is a man of duty, and Aunt Chen is kind and safe, but she is not smart enough to deal with outsiders.
But Li Short Legs was different. He had been a bandit anyway, and he knew how to talk nonsense when he saw people and talk nonsense when he saw ghosts.
Over the past year, we have known each other and got along like a family.
"Little Li, why are you back?"
Second Aunt Chen wiped off her sweat, stood up, and then her eyes straightened.
Uncle Chen was busy with the work at hand. Seeing that everyone hadn't spoken for a long time, he raised his head, equally dazed.
"Master, madam!"
After the two finished speaking, they abandoned Li Short Legs and immediately went up to meet him.
"Second Uncle Chen, Second Aunt Chen, I came here in a hurry this time, so I didn't find someone to deliver the letter in advance."
Li Haitang took the bean bag and asked the little bun to call someone obediently
"Second Grandpa, Second Grandma!"
Dou Bao doesn't care much about his own mother, but in front of outsiders, Xiao Baozi has always been awesome.
"Don't deserve it, don't deserve it!"
Second Aunt Chen is very rare, a white and clean little kid, um, looks a lot like... the master's family.
"Madam, I have kept your yard all the time."
Aunt Chen could not close her mouth from ear to ear. She was even happier when she heard that Li Jinhu and her nephew Sixi were on the way, and they would be able to reunite in a few days.
In a month's time, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th. People in Kyoto value this festival more than those in the North. If they can be reunited, the couple will have nothing to ask for.
The things were handed over to the servants, and Li Haitang introduced Xiangli and Mrs. Wang, and asked Chunmei to help arrange a small yard.
"Ma'am, what do you think of Chunmei?"
Chunmei's family was in a village not far away. When her father was ill, her younger brother had a high fever, the land was sold, and the house was empty. She took the initiative to find someone to work for.
Chunmei had quick hands and feet, and when Ren Yazi saw that she was only twelve years old, he took her to Zhuangzi.
Later, Li Haitang took over Zhang Ruyi's Zhuangzi, and all the servants left. They went to Beidi to find Zhang Ruyi, and if Chunmei signed the contract of living, they automatically stayed.
Chunmei's family has also saved a little money over the years and wants to redeem Chunmei's body and let her go home.
Chunmei is already in her twenties, she is an old girl in the village, she is not easy to talk to others, her parents and younger brother feel guilty towards her, it is all because the family dragged her down and delayed a good person like this.
Apart from her age, this girl has nothing to say, she works hard, doesn't cheat, cheats, and is kind-hearted.
"She is willing to stay, and we welcome it too."
Li Haitang looked on coldly, Chunmei was a good servant, at least her rightful master came, and as a servant, Chunmei went forward without fawning, and went to work immediately.
Li Haitang likes people who do practical things, don't talk too much, don't think too much, and of course, don't be too stupid.
Now that Wufu has been with her for so long, she has been transferred~taught her.
"Yes, maybe we can even match up a marriage!"
Second Aunt Chen smiled, and reported to her wife that Li Kuangleg had a crush on Chunmei, and begged her to find out what Chunmei meant. If she didn't fancy him, she could save some face for herself.
"It turned out to be like this, which is a good thing."
As a servant of her own family, Li Haitang is still concerned about their marriage. She has always been open-minded, and Li Short Legs has made great contributions to her in the capital. There is no doubt that, as the head of the family, the marriage must be resolved with help.
Chunmei doesn't seem like a person who hates the poor and loves the rich, and she can give for her family, so her character is not bad.
"Ask Chunmei what she means. If she has a sweetheart, we can't beat the mandarin ducks."
Li Haitang nodded, and then came to his courtyard.
The surrounding area of ??the yard is full of green bamboos, and in the middle of the green bamboo forest, there is a small natural hot spring pool in which many small fish are raised.
Under the courtyard wall, there were flowers and plants, and the air was quiet. She sniffed, and her nose was immediately filled with a refreshing fragrance, which lifted people's spirits.
The room was not damp, and there were camphor balls, five blessings and ginkgo in the cabinet. I hung up all the clothes to avoid creases, and together with Chunmei, I fetched water and scrubbed them.
The quilts and gauze curtains are all newly bought, and there is no dust on the decorations, making people feel better just looking at them.
It's rare to come across such a good place, Li Haitang wanted to go into the hot spring to soak for a while.
"Sister Haitang, my nanny, I'm going to the kitchen to make braised pork."
When Xiangli came to Zhuangzi, she was a little strange at first. She knew that the servants of the rich family had eyes in the sky, and it was common to see highs and lows.
Originally, I thought I would have to endure such stares, but unexpectedly, the people in the village were very enthusiastic. Aunt Chen and Chunmei asked carefully what they were going to prepare. Xiangli felt that she was treating a gentleman like a villain. The nanny, Mrs. Wang, also thought so. After packing up the two people's things, she immediately went to the kitchen to cook, wanting to show her skills and prepare delicious food for everyone.
