The peasant girl in Space is the group favorite

Chapter 40 The Uninvited Guest

Mrs. Li smiled and said, "I think the third younger brother and sister are not blessed. There is such a capable girl like Qibao, but she is still finding faults. If she really dislikes Qibao, just let me be Qibao's mother. I can't ask for more!" Mrs. Zhang also echoed.

Mrs. Wang next to her smiled and interrupted, "Okay, don't talk about Qibao anymore. Hurry up and make all the cushions, pillows and other things Qibao said and try the effect." After that, he picked up the fabric and started cutting.

Several people cut the fabric into square pieces of the same size, cut all the required quantities, and then spliced ​​and sewed the two pieces of fabric together.Xu Hua'er also helped. Seeing how quickly she threaded the needle and thread, the stitches were not only straight, but also the same size. Qibao couldn't help but sigh, children in ancient times were really amazing, they could do such a small needlework so well. , no worse than what Wang and the others did, with the exception of her. The family was reluctant to let her do this for fear of getting pricked by a needle.

Qibao praised, "Sister Hua'er, you are so young but you are so good at needlework. It's really amazing."

Xu Hua'er was embarrassed by Qibao's praise and said, "My mother taught me this. When I first learned it, I pricked my fingers several times!"

Wang smiled and said, "Hua'er is good at needlework, do you want Qibao to learn it too? Yes, it's time for you to learn some things that a daughter's family should know. Otherwise, when you grow up and get married, you won't even know how to dress." Do it, isn’t that a joke?”

After hearing this, Qibao waved his hands and said, "Nai, I don't want to learn needlework, and I can't sit still. Besides, Qibao doesn't want to get married when he grows up. I want to stay with you all the time."

Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "There is no girl who doesn't marry when she grows up, wouldn't she become an old girl? Even if Qibao won't be able to do needlework in the future, Qibao can read and cook, right? If someone dislikes Qibao, it means that others have no respect for Qibao." Don't worry, we won't look for someone like that." Mrs. Lin smiled and shook her head. Her family really doted on Qibao more than her own mother, so she didn't say anything.

After a while, all the cloth covers were finished, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law filled it with cotton until each pillow was bulging before sealing the last hole.

Qibao said, "Okay, grandma, let's take these to the couch and try them out to see if they fit." Wang nodded, and several others put the prepared cushions and pillows on the imperial concubine's couch to try. The size is just right for several people to sit on, and it feels very soft, especially when you put the pillow behind you and lean on it, it is comfortable and warm.

Zhang said, "It's really good. It feels like you don't want to get up when you lean on it. It's softer than the bed we sleep on."

Lin said, "I was afraid that I would waste these good things, but I didn't expect that they would be really good to use."

Qibao puffed up his mouth and said, "Mom, you didn't believe me just now. You should believe it now. Mom, don't say that to me next time!" Several people laughed when they heard this.

When they returned to the old house, they saw Mr. Xu returning from weeding with his two sons and placing the tools in the corner of the yard. The old man sat in the main room and drank some water and said, "Second, second and third, you will send some vegetables to the village chief and you later." Uncle Dafu's house has been busy these two days and there is not enough oxcarts. We borrowed oxcarts from their house. It is appropriate to send something to express our gratitude." The brothers packed two portions of vegetables and went out without saying anything.

After the Xu family had dinner at noon, Qibao taught the family how to read and write. Now everyone in the Xu family knows a lot of characters, and they can also write them. It’s just that the writing is not very beautiful, but it is already very good. It takes an hour. Go quickly, there are indeed some uninvited guests at home.

A carriage slowly came to the door of Xu's house. The driver was two muscular men wearing black clothes. One of the men opened the curtain and saw two people getting out. One was shopkeeper Tong from Zuixianlou. , there is also a young man who looks to be only eleven or twelve years old, wearing a crescent white robe made of brocade, his hair is tied up with a white jade hairpin, and a round white jade carved Pisces jade pendant hangs around his waist. Dressed like a rich man.

The young man got off the carriage, raised his brows, glanced at Shopkeeper Tong next to him and asked, "Is this the house you're talking about? It looks like an ordinary farmer's home." Shopkeeper Tong bowed respectfully and said, "Master, do you have anything?" What you don’t know is that the newly built house next to it was built by this family, and this family is not simple either.”

The young man said: "Are you talking about that little girl? That's right. If you don't have any outstanding qualities, you won't be accepted as a disciple by an expert." After speaking, he looked at the newly built house of the Xu family and continued, "Although This house is a bit small compared to the capital city, but it does look elegant. I guess it can't be built without a few hundred taels."

Shopkeeper Tong said, "I don't know much about this either. I thought there was a cooperative relationship with our restaurant after all, so I didn't investigate it carefully."

The young man said, "Well, go knock on the door!"

Shopkeeper Tong got the order and immediately knocked on the door of the Xu family's old house. Not long after, the door opened. The person who opened the door was Ms. Zhang. As soon as she opened the door, she saw it was shopkeeper Tong. She immediately smiled and said, "It's shopkeeper Tong, hurry up." Please come inside." Mrs. Zhang invited the people to the main room.

When Mr. Xu saw it was Shopkeeper Tong, he immediately stood up to greet him and said, "It turns out that Shopkeeper Tong is here. Why didn't you inform us in advance so that we could be ready to entertain you." At this time, the rest of the Xu family learned that Shopkeeper Tong was here and immediately After arriving at the main room and meeting shopkeeper Tong, Zhang got up and made tea for the guests.

Mr. Xu asked, "Why did Shopkeeper Tong come to my Xu house free today? Is there something wrong?"

Shopkeeper Tong said, "Old man, I came here just after lunch. I really have something to do here today." After that, he introduced the young man next to him and said, "This is the little boss behind our Zuixian Tower. Today I came here because of the vegetables grown at your home.”

The Xu family noticed this luxuriously dressed young man as soon as Shopkeeper Tong came in. However, Shopkeeper Tong didn't introduce him and it was hard for him to ask. Now when Shopkeeper Tong said he was the man behind Zuixian Tower, they all looked surprised. , all stood up and saluted.

The young man gave him a hand and said, "You're welcome, old man. My surname is Su and my name is Chenyu. You can just call me Mr. Su. I came today to see your vegetables. I wonder if it would be convenient for you to take me to the vegetable patch." look?"

Mr. Xu said, "It's convenient. I'll ask my boss to take Mr. Su over to have a look."

Uncle Xu immediately stepped forward and said, "Master Su, please come with me. My vegetable patch is behind the house." After that, he walked in front and led the way.

Everyone came to the vegetable plot in the backyard. The vegetable plot was not very big, but it was full of various vegetables that were growing very well. Shopkeeper Tong had always seen the vegetables sent by the Xu family. He had never seen these vegetables growing in the ground. , now that I saw it, I looked at it carefully.

Su Chenyu knelt down directly to the ground and watched the growth of various vegetables. Each seedling had no less than five fruits, some were mature, and some were still small green fruits.
