As soon as Mrs. Li entered the house carrying a vegetable basket, Jiayin, wearing a red short-sleeved shirt and pants, ran out of the house.
If it weren't for the two little flower buds tied on her head, she would look like a fat boy.
"Grandma, you're back!" Jiayin held up a sachet and presented the treasure to grandma. "I sewed this for grandma. It smells very good!"
The old lady took it carefully and hung it on her belt carefully, feeling happy and proud.
The little granddaughter was already smart, but now she has even more dexterity.
Although the sachet is simple and requires only a few stitches, it is really rare to put it on a child!
You must know that according to the old rules, a child is considered to be one year old when he is born, and Fu Niu is only four years old now...
But she still couldn't help but blame her granddaughter, "Why are you wearing these clothes again? You are a girl, it's not okay to show off like this." Your arms and legs are exposed!"
Jiayin hugged her grandma's arms and acted coquettishly, "Grandma, it's too hot, I'll just wear it at home~"
The old lady couldn't help it, and tapped her granddaughter's forehead, "I'll send you to learn female rouge, you can't do needlework. So, you have led your master into trouble and made you such nondescript clothes."
Jiayin smiled and refused to say anything.
She worked hard to learn female beauty, and of course she wanted to benefit herself.
It used to be okay when I was one or two years old, and it was okay to wear a bellyband when it was hot. But now I am a big child, and I can no longer run around with my back bare.
This set of half-sleeved clothes and trousers was something she finally got her master to help cut and sew.
Her coolness throughout the summer depends entirely on it!
While the grandfather and grandson were bickering, the courtyard door was pushed open, and Jia'an Jiaxi and Brother Cat ran in, with beads of sweat on their foreheads.
When they saw their sister wearing cool clothes, everyone looked at grandma eagerly.
"Grandma, it's hot for us too, and we have to wear clothes like my sister's!"
The old lady gave them a slap in the face, and laughed and scolded, "I know, it's been cut, and I'll let you put it on tomorrow."
" Great, thank you grandma!" The boys cheered, threw down their schoolbags, hugged the sheepskin ball and ran away.
Dongmei heard the commotion and came from next door. She asked with a smile: "Old lady, are you ready for lunch?"
The old lady knew that she wanted to help, so she quickly waved her hand, "It's such a hot weather and I can't eat much. I'll just make it." Forget about the noodles, you don't have to touch them, just help me take Fu Niu'er for a while!"
After hearing this, Jiayin immediately ran to find a bamboo hat, and Dongmei and Dongmei each wore one before going up the mountain.
She hasn't been to the orchard for more than ten days. She doesn't know how the fruit is doing or whether it has attracted insects.
Last year when the valley was first built, the scenery was ordinary, but this year it was completely different.
The bougainvillea planted on both sides of the cliff has completely climbed up the cliff. From a distance, it looks like two flower walls falling from the sky.
Among the flowers, warm spring water falls, and a thin mist fills the air. It is so beautiful that people can't even find words to describe it.
Especially when sitting in the pool below and looking up, the mist is refracted by the sun and turns into a colorful rainbow that hangs in the sky.
Who wouldn't like, be intoxicated or crazy about such beautiful scenery? !
Therefore, in the past three or four months, the business in Hot Spring Valley has exploded.
Many people even wanted to book the venue with a lot of money, but the villagers, young and old, still did not waver, and the number of daily guests was still strictly controlled.
Reservations are also held once every five days, and the number of people cannot exceed one hundred.
Not only did this not cause the Hot Spring Valley to be disliked and scolded, but it actually made the people of the new capital flock to it even more. The guests who came and went behaved themselves, and nothing unpleasant happened.
The orchards on the two hills are in flowering season in May. Large apple trees are in full bloom with ivory-colored flowers. As the spring breeze blows, they fall from the sky above the valley. They are like a fairyland on earth and beautiful.
In those days, even if I couldn't enter the valley, countless guests arrived. They would rather pay for it and go up the mountain to enjoy the flowers.
For this reason, the whole village, old and young, went out together, up and down the mountain, to guard and maintain order, and to watch over the guests so that they could not damage the fruit trees.
When the flowering period was over, the guests were satisfied and the whole village, old and young, was exhausted.
But the harvest was also huge. Not counting the income from the valley, they earned a thousand taels just from viewing the flowers!
The village chief made a decision to divide the money among the whole village, young and old.
Now, the flowers have fallen, and there are already fruits among the branches and leaves.
Dongmei was afraid that Jiayin would fall and her hands and feet would be cut by dead branches, so she carried her up the mountain.
Jiayin looked at it here, touched it there, and was extremely satisfied.
The nursery in the small space courtyard appeared after she injured her head that time. She didn't pay much attention to it at first, but unexpectedly she benefited the most from it.
The fruit trees on this mountain and the large melon fields at the foot of the mountain are all the work of the nursery.
Dongmei couldn't help but pick a fruit, took a bite, and frowned bitterly.
"Miss, this fruit looks big, but it's still not ripe. It's so sour."
Before Jiayin could answer, Uncle Wu appeared out of nowhere with a sickle in his hand. When he saw the outsiders, it was Dongmei and Jiayin. , he quickly put away the sickle and said with a smile: "It turns out it's you. I thought it was a naughty boy from another village who came to cause trouble!"
After Li Laosi joined the army, Uncle Wu took over the orchard.
He was also a responsible man and actually built a thatched house in the orchard and lived here eight out of ten days.
Fortunately, he had the mosquito repellent lotion given by Dr. Zhang, otherwise the mosquitoes would have eaten him.
Jiayin shouted with a smile, "Uncle, Niuniu wants to eat honey!"
"Little greedy cat!" Uncle Wu knocked on Jiayin's bamboo hat and led them to the shack with a bright smile.
There are more than a dozen boxes of bees here, and they help when the fruit trees are pollinating during the flowering season.
Uncle Wu quickly opened the box, cut out a small jar of honey, and handed it to Jiayin to hold. "Hurry home and eat. There are too many bees here. Be careful which one bites you into a steamed bun."
Dongmei was already busy. He drove away the bees surrounding Jiayin, and when he heard this, he quickly said hello, hugged Jiayin and ran away.
The two of them went all the way down the mountain. When they returned home, the old lady's lunch was already ready.
Huiniang was sitting under the eaves of the corridor, holding her waist with one hand and talking to the old lady.
She was pregnant in the first month of the year and is now seven months old, with a huge belly.
Doctor Zhang checked her pulse and said she was having twins, so the whole village took extra care of her.
Whoever made delicious food would give her a bowl.
Especially the Li family, the old lady would go there almost every day to see how much food and supplies were arranged.
I was a bit busy today. The old lady didn't go there, so Madam Hui came by herself. If you move around more, it will be easier to give birth in the future.
Jiayin jumped off Dongmei's back, ran forward and gave the master a green fruit, "Master, give it to you."
Huiniang wanted to wipe the sweat beads of the little girl, but she only glanced at the green fruit and drooled. It flowed out unsatisfactorily, so I could only take a big bite.
Dongmei's teeth were sore when she saw it. She had never given birth and she really couldn't understand the taste of pregnant women. How could they eat such sour fruit?
The old lady looked at it with a smile on her face, "Sour son and spicy woman, okay, maybe there are two boys in my belly."
Hui Niang hugged her belly, her face was full of happiness, and she asked in a low voice, "Aunt, how many days will it take for you to be blessed?" It's my birthday, will the Marquis and the others come back?"
