The old lady finally caught her naughty granddaughter, checked her little feet and found that they were not punctured, so she took her to wash her feet.
"I'll go, Auntie." Mrs. Cui took the good news, kissed her chubby cheek, and said, "Auntie, do you want to steam steamed buns with bean paste?"
"Yes," the old lady replied He said: "Yuru is short of red beans. I asked her to take away all the ones at home, but there is nothing to eat at home. I'll go to Aunt Wu's house to ask for some, and they'll be cooked soon."
"Auntie . Don't go, I have planted a lot in my farm, and I asked Sister-in-law Qiong to go back to do some work, so I can bring some more over."
"That's great," the old lady said without being polite, and said with a smile, "You can have dinner at home. Stop cooking. You should still eat the bean stuffed steamed buns freshly baked, soft and sweet."
Jiayin listened to their gossip and went to the water basin to test the water temperature, but was stunned when she put her head in.
Who is this black girl reflected in the water? ! Black and fat, he looked like a black bear that had become a spirit.
"Wow!" she cried at that time.
Mrs. Cui and the old lady were frightened. They quickly lifted her up and looked at her carefully, "What's wrong? The water is too hot and she's still bitten by mosquitoes!"
"Wow, grandma, Fu Niu has become ugly. She's dark, so dark!"
Jiayin cried so sadly. She had so much fun before, but now she feels so regretful.
Why did she forget the lesson about showing off her yin and yang face in spring!
The old lady couldn't laugh or cry when she heard this, so she patted her granddaughter's fat butt.
"Stinky girl, you're only two years old, how do you know beauty and ugliness?! Just be darker, no one dislikes you!"
"No, no, you're too ugly!" Jiayin shook her head like a rattle, getting more and more angry Sad.
Who can understand the little fat girl's love for beauty?
Just when Li Zhensheng came back from outside, he was frightened when he saw his little niece crying pitifully, so he quickly held her in his arms and comforted her.
Hearing that his niece cried because of her ugliness, he couldn't stop laughing, "If Fu Niu doesn't cry, she will hide at home and play with her uncle for a few days and she will turn white. Besides, no matter how dark you are, can you still be as dark as Brother Cat?" You can't even tell him apart if you throw him into a ditch."
Mrs. Li and Mrs. Cui couldn't stop laughing when they thought of Brother Cat.
Before they could say anything, Sister-in-law Qiong came in from the outside with half a bag of red beans and a box of snacks in her hand. "Madam, I picked up a box of peanut cakes that were just baked in our stove and brought them back to the lady." Eat."
"Okay, okay, you came just in time." Mrs. Cui quickly gave the snacks to Jiayin.
Jiayin munched on the snacks, sweetened her mouth, and her tears came back as expected.
But as she sat in her uncle's arms, she didn't forget to pull up his sleeves and cover her head.
It seems that in this way, you can make up for it and turn white quickly.
Everyone tried their best to endure it and snickered from time to time.
Seeing that the children were gone, Sister-in-law Qiong whispered: "Madam, I met Mr. Wen on the way and sent someone to deliver a message. Tomorrow...tomorrow Wang E will be sent to the southwest and will set off."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and before they could speak, Old Mrs. Li He jumped up, climbed up the wall and started looking through a basket.
Li Zhen was afraid that my mother would fall, so she stood below to persuade her, "Mom, if you are angry, just scold me. Don't do this, be careful if you fall and hurt yourself."
Mrs. Li quickly got off the wall, glared at her son and cursed. , "That bitch messing with me has nothing to do with you! Let me tell you, tomorrow you and Brother Cat will be at home, just pretend you don't know about this, and I will ask the Fourth Brother to drag me into the city."
Li Zhensheng dare not not Agree, she nodded immediately, "Okay, mother, as long as you are happy, I can do anything!"
Jiayin rolled her eyes a few times, guessing that grandma was going to seek bad luck for Wang E, and she also wanted to follow and watch the fun.
But she had already cried and made trouble, and grandma was angry again. It was really not easy to act coquettishly now.
After thinking about it, she sneaked into the yard next door. Of course she didn't forget to pull a dustpan as a bamboo hat and put it on her head to block the sun.
The Marquis was sitting on the kang, dealing with some paperwork, with the window open to let in the wind. Occasionally, when he looked up, he saw a bean dustpan with a pair of fat legs running in from the outside of the yard.
He squirted out the tea in a sip, laughing so hard that his back almost broke.
"Open the door, ahem, Ye Shan, open the door! There's a dustpan spirit coming in!"
Seeing that his master suddenly choked on his tea, Ye Shan didn't know what was going on, so he hurried to open the door, and couldn't stop laughing when he saw Jiayin holding the dustpan. Standing up, "Miss, what are you..."
Jiayin put down the dustpan, with a grimace on her face, and rushed towards the Marquis, "Father, wuwu, Fu Niu doesn't want to live anymore! Fu Niu has become ugly. , No one likes Fu Niu anymore!"
Mr. Hou quickly picked up the girl, held her in his arms, and asked in a hoarse voice: "What's going on? Who said our Fu Niu is ugly?"
Ye Shan also quickly realized it. Wet cloth, pass it over.
The Marquis wiped the fat girl's face, and when he looked carefully, he could only hold back his laughter with great effort.
No wonder the little girl is sad. In the past half month, she has indeed gained a lot of weight and darkened a lot!
But you can't say it so directly, you can only coax.
Fortunately, Jiayin didn't really come here just to cry about this matter. After a few words, he borrowed Po Xia Donkey and started talking about "business".
"If Fu Niu is not happy, it would be nice to go to the city to play. But grandma only takes daddy, not Fu Niu!"
Mr. Hou thought for a while, guessed a bit, and said, "It just so happened that the adoptive father had to go back to the Hou Mansion to do something. Son, why don't you go back with your adoptive father."
"Okay, okay." Jiayin realized his wish, his eyes lit up, he nodded hurriedly, hugged the Marquis's arm and said coquettishly, "My adoptive father is the best, Fu Niu I will provide for you when you grow up."
Both Mr. Hou and Ye Shan laughed.
It happened that the old lady had lost her granddaughter, so she hurriedly looked for her. When she heard the Marquis talking about taking Fu Niu to the city tomorrow, there was something she couldn't guess.
So, she glared at her granddaughter helplessly, "This girl, no matter where the excitement is, she can't be left behind!"
Jiayin shrank her neck and crawled into Mr. Hou's arms, making Mr. Hou laugh again.
"Aunt, don't blame Fu Niu. Children love to be lively. It's their nature. I'm going back tomorrow too. Aunt, why don't you take Fu Niu in my carriage and take Fu Niu to our Marquis Mansion for a walk, and then join me in the evening? Come back together."
The old lady agreed, thinking that the village was busy and it wouldn't be a good idea for the fourth child to be absent from work.
Early the next morning, Mrs. Li carried a basket and brought good news to the Marquis's carriage.
The bay-red horse kicked and kicked the carriage and left the village. Except for Uncle Zhao and a few other people in charge of patrol, the rest of the villagers didn't know.
Jiayin wore a curtain hat and refused to take it off even in the carriage, determined to cover her dark face.
At this moment, she turned her little head and looked around, but she always felt that something smelled wrong, but after being patted twice by the Marquis, she calmed down.
In Xindu, this early morning was also surprisingly lively. Many people gathered from the government office to the city gate.
There are even hawkers seizing the business opportunity, carrying baskets and selling some steamed buns and pancakes.
Some people bought steamed buns and chatted with others while eating them.
"Brother, you're here too."
"Isn't it? How can you not come and see such a big bustle?"
"You said that Wang E is about to be sent to a female partner, so the Wang family still can't show up? It stands to reason that the Wang family usually protects its shortcomings. Ah, even if we can't save people, we have to come and take care of them!"
"You don't know this, I heard that the Wang family is also in trouble, and now they have too much time to take care of themselves."
"What trouble is it?"
That's all. Amidst the discussion, the side door of the government office finally opened.
I'm really sorry that I was delayed for a while because of something else today. I'll try to come in earlier in the future
