Rebirth of the pastoral landlady

Chapter 182 Liang Yuju's "Homecoming"

Chapter 190: Liang Yuju's "Returning Home"

Jin Xi nodded again and again, and praised: "It's really bright!" Liang Yuzhou was very happy, and ran to the shop to continue to clean up the used dishes, humming a little tune and took it to the backyard to wash.

Here, Cui Xique delivered noodles to several customers, and after a short moment of relief, he pulled Jinxi aside to talk.Although Wanghai County is not too far away, for people like Cui Xique and Taozhi who were born and raised in rural villages, the county is a big place, and they are very surprised by the world outside.

Jin Xi picked out a few things about the living habits of the residents in Wanghai County, such as the morning market and night market, and told her that Cui Xique's eyes lit up.Jin Xi asked about what happened at home when she wasn't here this month, Cui Xique pursed his lips and smiled, glanced over there and saw that Liang Yuzhou hadn't come, so he smiled at Jin Xi: "It's really interesting when you ask this. Both things belong to the old Liang family, one is good and the other is bad, which one do you want to hear first?"

"The good one." Jin Xi said.

"Liang Yuzhou's elder brother, that is, the uncle you were expelled from the house, came to the house two days ago, threw out several bank notes, and repaid the large debt owed to the shopkeeper of Mingshan Pavilion. I understand, but it made your grandma very happy. Not only that, your uncle gave out money to renovate the private school in our village, bought several new tables and chairs, and returned it to Mr. Yang in the private school. Mr. bought two sets of pens, inks, papers and inkstones. In addition, he also built three steps of bluestone steps for the big pond at the entrance of our village. In the past, when it rained, the pond was slippery, and no one planted it in the water. It is convenient for the laundry people in the village. Now when people in the village meet your grandma, they will praise your uncle for his kindness. He will not forget the villagers when he gets rich. Lizheng and a few famous old men in the village intend to persuade your grandfather to accept you again Uncle entered the genealogy, but your grandfather declined, saying that it remains to be seen, there is no rush."

Jin Xi was dumbfounded when he heard that. When Liang Yuju was expelled from Lao Liang's house by Lao Liangtou that day, in order not to let him starve to death on the street, although Lao Liangtou handed over the management of the Liangji grocery store in the town to Liang Yulin, he still gave Liang Yuju permission. Help from the side.

After more than half a month later, Liang Yuju suddenly bid farewell to the old Liangtou one day, and went to another county alone to make a living. After this trip, there was no news from him.Unexpectedly, this time he returned home in good clothes?As soon as he made a move, he did so many public welfare undertakings that benefited the villagers and children, and quickly reversed the bad image of the past in the hearts of the villagers!

"Did you hear them say, what kind of big business does my uncle do in other counties, and he earned so much money in just a few months?" Jin Xi asked, unless there was a big collision of luck and wealth, There is also a perfect combination of factors such as the right time and place, otherwise, in just a few months, Liang Yuju would not be able to earn those hundreds of taels of silver!If it is true, then there must be something wrong with the origin of the money, Jin Xi thought to herself.

"I didn't hear that. People in this village don't care what kind of business they do outside. As long as the big guy sees the white money, he will only be envious and admired. Who will go to the deep Thinking about it!" Cui Xique curled his lips, and said again: "Nowadays, many people in the village chase after your uncle's ass all day long to offer good things, so I told your fourth uncle that there will be no pies in the sky this day. Money is like fishing for gold, we are not envious or jealous, we rely on our own ability and strength, earning every penny steadily!"

"Fourth Aunt, you're right if you can think like this. There are people beyond people and heaven beyond the sky. We can do as much as we have ability." Jin Xi laughed: "Then there is another bad thing, so what is it?"

Cui Xique was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Oh, for us, it's not a good thing or a bad thing. That's right, don't everyone in the village know what Boy Sheng thinks about Taozhi? Listen to what your fourth uncle said, because of this matter Your grandma has been admonishing Sheng boy a lot, but if Sheng boy is a person who is born and doesn't want to do it, if he really wants to be cruel, he will not be able to pull back ten cows."

"No, didn't your uncle go home without dignity a few days ago? Your master told your uncle about Boy Sheng's thoughts on Taozhi. Your uncle must have told Boy Sheng by virtue of his identity. What, boy Sheng had a quarrel with your uncle, and then ran out of the house. It’s been almost three days, and he hasn’t come back yet. Hey, everyone in the village is now guessing whether boy Sheng is going to the county seat Are you looking for Taozhi?"

"Impossible. I've been in the county these few days, and I haven't seen him come to us! It must be the villager Hu Chu, so I can't take it seriously." Jin Xi said, but she still had some doubts in her heart. If Liang Lisheng really ran away from home, The most likely place to go, Jin Xi herself thinks it should be Wanghai County, because Taozhi is there.of course there are exceptions.

Talked to Cui Xique for a while, and soon the shop was busy again, Liang Yuzhong came over to urge Jinxi after unloading the goods, Jinxi bid farewell to Cui Xique and the others, came to the next door and took the car back to Jinjishan Village with Liang Yuzhong.

The days in winter are short, and when we returned to Jinjishan Village, the sun had already sunk to the west of the hillside, and the fields on both sides of the official road were full of rapeseed.

The carriage was driving slowly on the official road, and when it was half a mile away from the downhill turn ahead, Jin Xi heard Liang Yuzhong, who was driving in front of the carriage, let out a 'huh' from a distance, opened the curtain and looked forward, Jin Xi couldn't help it There was a "huh" sound.

"Xi'er, do you see that the person who just came out of our big courtyard looks like your uncle?" Liang Yuzhong's source of information was not as good as Jin Xi's, and now he saw the man in front of him walking slowly into the village with his hands in his sleeves. Go fat back, surprised.

Jin Xi squinted her eyes for a moment, then laughed softly, and said: "I heard from my fourth aunt that the uncle's house is here, and she made a fortune doing some big business outside, and she will pay the hundreds of taels owed to the shopkeeper. I paid back all the money, and did a lot of good things for the village!"

"Ah?" Liang Yuzhong was even more astonished, staring at the plump figure that was gradually disappearing at the entrance of the village, as if suddenly thinking of something, he raised his whip and drove the horse, speeding up to the front.Jin Xi also hastily put down the curtain and sat down. Liang Yuju went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. He just came out of her house, and now her house is full of Ga Po, Mother, and younger brothers and sisters. Jin Xi's heart and Liang Yuzhong thought of one place Go, hurry home!

……

When I got home, I saw that Granny and Niang were all safe and sound. Granny and Jinrou hugged the third and fourth child in the inner courtyard and looked at the sky. Mrs. Sun was cooking in the kitchen, and the smoke was curling up from the chimney. Ga Po and Sun Shi were overjoyed when the two women returned home after a long journey. Liang Yuzhong and Jin Xi also breathed a sigh of relief seeing that all the old and weak women and children at home were safe.

"I guess you should go home in the next few days, but I don't know which day it will be. I'll add a few more dishes, and I'll serve dinner later." Mrs. Sun hurriedly said, Liang Yuzhong hadn't seen him for a while. Mrs. Sun, after washing her face, she went to the kitchen to help her and talk.

In the courtyard here, Jin Xi took out all the gadgets she bought at the night market. Mrs. Sun's was a string of sandalwood beads, and Jin Rou was a flower fairy mask.

"The third child, the fourth child, the eldest sister brought you a small rattle!" Jin Xi first teased the third child in the arms of Mrs. Sun, but they haven't seen each other for more than half a month. Carrot buns, but wearing small clothes, three layers inside and three layers outside, both of them wore red hugging skirts with blessings embroidered on their buttocks, tiger hats on their heads, and tiger shoes on their feet .The third child is very lively, with a pair of small eyes rolling around and popping in his small mouth, like a bubbling fish. There is a clean and soft handkerchief around his neck, which is specially used to wipe the bubbles from his saliva.

Jin Xi took over the fourth child from Jin Rou again, compared to the lively and active third child, the fourth child is much quieter, in modern terms, a little cool and handsome, with pretty brows slightly frowned, with a hesitant demeanor .Jin Xi sat on the stone bench, with one arm and a half around the fourth child, the other hand holding a small rattle and shaking it gently in front of the fourth child's eyes. There was a sound of thump, thud, thud, and the old man who was looking up at the sky and pretending to be cool was absent-minded. Four, suddenly turned her head, her small black jewel-like eyes curiously looked at the strange thing that made noise in Jin Xi's hand.Jin Xi gently moved the small wave drum up and down, left and right, and the little head of the fourth child turned sideways. Although the rotation was a bit slow and clumsy, this discovery was enough to surprise Jin Xi.

"Ga Po, did you see that the fourth brother's neck has finally grown, and now he can turn his head freely!" Jin Xi excitedly said.

Mrs. Sun and Jinrou obviously discovered this before Jinxi, and Mrs. Sun smiled and said: "Yes, this child encountered a little obstacle when he was born, and his neck was always soft. Your mother and I were worried about him taking a bath, but now, he has grown up."

Jin Xi nodded repeatedly, the third and fourth children are twins, but the third child is physically and mentally stronger than the fourth child, and the fourth child has always been on the nerves of Jin Xi's family.

"Turn over three times and sit six times, the third child can already turn over!" Mrs. Sun said to Jin Xi while teasing the fourth child.

"Yo, our third child is really a good young man, fourth child, you have to work harder!" Jin Xi kissed the fourth child's cheek, shaking the little rattle while talking to Mrs. Sun As he was talking, he mentioned the matter of seeing Liang Yuju just now.

Mrs. Sun sighed, and said: "Since he made a fortune and returned to the village, and did a few good deeds for the village one after another, now many people in the village respect him, and he also thinks highly of himself. Gao. In the past few days, I have been running here when I have nothing to do, and I only come to this inner courtyard. This house is full of women and children, and your father is not at home. He is an uncle, so you must avoid suspicion, right? "

As soon as Mrs. Sun finished speaking, Jin Rou took over the quarrel and said angrily: "Sister, that's not all. Every time Uncle comes back, he just steps on the meal time. He just came here to grab the meal. The first two times, the hostess After eating with him, my father was not at home, and there was no wine at home. The uncle was very upset. He knocked on his chopsticks and said that our family was in business and didn’t know how to treat guests. He only gave up after two taels of shochu!"

"Then he came just now? Why don't you leave after dinner?" Jin Xi asked.

Jinrou chuckled, and said: "Uncle just sat down and was drinking tea in the courtyard, the third child suddenly let out a few farts, it was about to poop, mother didn't avoid it, she just said it in front of uncle Give the youngest a papa, the uncle must have been disgusted, he held his nose and left. Hehe, if I knew that this trick would work, I would have used it a few times earlier."

Jin Xi was angry and wanted to laugh when she heard this, and said: "Once Dad and I leave home, why do you all fear him again? He asks you to do this or that, and you really obey? I teach you on weekdays Those things are useless, aren't they? In order to change Baozi's parents and Xiaobaozi's submissive character, Jin Xi did a lot of brainwashing for them.

"Xi'er, we are not afraid of him. Our grandson family has never cared about these trivial matters. After all, he is your father's big brother, and he can't eat for two meals. You don't know, your uncle is now He is a kind person in the eyes of the whole village, if we offend him at this juncture, we will offend a group of people." Granny Sun said helplessly.

"Then go find Master, Master has always claimed to be the one with the most backbone after stabilizing the Liang family?" Jin Xi said.

"Sister, that's even worse. You don't know, these days when my grandfather is walking in the village, his waist is straighter and harder than before. Uncle has grown a big face for him now. We are really worried about this." If you go to find your master, you might even have to tell me that our family is cunning and disrespectful!" Jinrou pursed her lips.

Jin Xi was puzzled, and asked Jin Rou: "So, did you go to see Master about this matter?"

"It's not a special search. I went to the village to get some liquor for my uncle. When I met my father on the way, I told him about it. My father immediately criticized my father, and even said about you..."

Jin Xi raised her eyebrows and said, "What are you talking about with me?"

"Say dad doesn't care about family affection, and his ears are soft, and sister, you are cunning, shallow-sighted, no matter how big the business is, you are destined to be a profiteer..." Jin Rou didn't dare to say any more, because Jin Xi's face slowly darkened When it got down, the dark clouds overwhelmed the top, and then, the dark clouds above the head dispersed, and Jin Xi suddenly laughed angrily.

"Xi'er, are you okay? Your grandfather is eccentric, and you didn't know it until now? Why bother with him? If he wants to talk about you, just let him say, and you won't lose a piece of meat. Anyway Let's start our own business and don't need to ask him for help. Don't be angry!" Seeing Jin Xi like this, Mrs. Sun was quite worried.

Jin Xi shook her head, patted the hiccupping fourth child in her arms, smiled lightly, and said, "Grandma, don't worry about me, I only separated when I was ten years old in Lao Liang's parents, no matter how serious my grandma said Come on, it’s no surprise now. They just talk about it, I won’t take it to heart.”

"That's good, that's good." Mrs. Sun said repeatedly, the worry in her eyes dissipated, and more distressed.

Jin Xi droops her eyelashes and pats fourth child on the back, but she sneers in her heart.She wouldn't take the initiative to provoke others, but if others really want to provoke her, then don't blame her for being rude, Liang Yuju, well, you provoked it on your own initiative!At this time, in the kitchen, Liang Yuzhong, who had learned what had happened from Mrs. Sun, also had a gloomy face.

"We don't do unreasonable things, but we are not afraid of reasonable things. Xi'erniang, I know you are still taking care of me, so you didn't go to fight hard with my elder brother. I thank you for being so considerate and considerate of me, but I I also want to give you a word in your heart." Liang Yuzhong threw a handful of firewood into the stove, raised his head and said earnestly to Sun who was in charge of the pot: "From now on, whenever my eldest brother and second brother come over, if they raise something unreasonable You don't have to pay any attention to your request, don't care about other people's opinions and theories, if the sky falls, I will support you!"

Mrs. Sun paused her arms, and looked at Liang Yuzhong, whose face was flushed by the stove fire, in disbelief, "I have to say this again with Xi'er, Rou'er and the other two sisters when I go back to eat!" Liang Yuzhong said in a deep voice. road.Sun's eyes were a little moist, and then she nodded vigorously: "You are the god of our family, I will listen to you whatever you say!"

……

After dinner, Mrs. Sun went to the East Wing to look after the two sleeping babies, Jinrou went to Jinxi's room to look at the pair of rabbits, Mrs. Sun cleaned up the dishes in the kitchen, and in the dining hall, Jinxi Talking to Liang Yuzhong while drinking tea.

"Father, I think that uncle won't be leaving this year when he comes back this time. The two of us are busy in the shop every day, and we don't care about our family. Even if you tell mother and Rou'er, But I feel that my mother and Rou'er are no match for Uncle's advanced skills. It's useless to say anything."

"Well, I also have concerns about this, Xi'er, do you have any good ideas?" Under the lamp, Liang Yuzhong said with a worried expression on his face.

Jin Xi narrowed her eyes and said, "I think it's time for our family to hire some helpers. After the year, the flowers, plants, fruit trees in the side yard and the main yard will need to be taken care of by hand, and the chickens, ducks and pigs will have to come to take care of them specially." , Granny is getting old, Rou'er can only be considered a half-adult, and mother has a lot of things to do, so the family has to buy some helpers to play around."

Liang Yuzhong listened carefully, thought about it, and said: "As early as when we drove Qianlixiang to Xiaobeilou, I had this plan, um, then I will go to the county again tomorrow to see if I can do it." Can't find a few suitable people."

"Father, don't worry. If you want to find the right person, you can't be in a hurry. Besides, our family has never bought anyone before. Ah Cai and the others were all sent by Brother Wen. We want to buy someone who can rest assured. At home, this matter will wait until I meet Brother Wen, and ask him to help guide me."

"That's it, that's fine too. Hey, Brother Wen has contributed a lot to our family's success today. His help is indispensable in many things!" Liang Yuzhong sighed.

Jin Xi smiled, that's right!
……

On November [-]th, Wending came back to the town from the county seat, brought Uncle Fu and rich gifts to Jinxi's home in Jinjishan Village, and made a special trip to visit the third and fourth.The arrival of Wending surprised Jinxi's family, and Sun was even more busy with frying, stewing, and steaming, and was extremely busy in the kitchen.

Wen Ding and Jin Xi walked in the courtyard with their third and fourth children in their arms. This was the first time the third and fourth children had met Wen Ding since they were born.Jin Xi notices a very strange thing, that is, the fourth child originally liked to be hugged by Jin Xi the most, but when Wending came, Jin Xi was abandoned by the fourth child, Jin Xi cried when she touched him, But Wending took it, and the fourth child behaved well, with his mouth still upturned, and he didn't know what he was saying in his mouth.

"Xi'er, your fourth child seems to hit it off with me right away!" Wending said with a low smile.

"Fourth brother, you are an unfamiliar little white-eyed wolf, thanks to my eldest sister, I have been so kind to you, and I even picked you!" Jin Xi said with a bit of taste.

Wending laughed softly, and pecked lightly on the pink cheek of the fourth child, which made the fourth child giggle.Wending scratched the fourth brother's nose, and said to the fourth brother: "Fourth brother, grow up quickly. When you grow up, I will teach you martial arts, okay?"

The fourth child responded to Wending with a crooked smile, revealing his toothless pink gums, cute and funny.

"Xi'er, look, the fourth brother agreed, right?"

"Well, I think it should be. It's good to practice martial arts with you. You are so good. I don't want to learn a few percent of your essence. I just want to let him strengthen his body through martial arts, and he will be safe and healthy. That's enough to grow up."

"Oh, there is one more thing, Brother Wen, I want you to give me some advice, it's about my family wanting to add helpers..."

Three days later, Uncle Fu visited Sun Ji, and there were two strangers with him. Jin Xi saw the two men, the older one was about forty years old, and he looked very refined and backbone. , the younger one, who should be just in his twenties, is about the same as Liang Yuzhou, with a simple and honest face, and the facial features of the two are [-]% similar, so they must be father and son.

Jin Xi invites them to Sun Ji's backyard to talk.Through Uncle Fu's recommendation, the two men kowtowed to Liang Yuzhong and Jin Xi. Liang Yuzhong had never been kneeling and kowtowing like this, especially since Cai Jinshan was older than him, so he couldn't sit still.

Jin Xi smiled slightly, pressed Liang Yuzhong's hand, and said in a low voice: "Father, this is the rule. If you are really not used to it, you can ask them to reduce the etiquette in the future. For the first time, you should accept it."

Seeing what Jin Xi said, Liang Yuzhong had no choice but to sit back down again, and after the Cai family father and son had kowtowed to recognize the Lord, he quickly reached out to help Cai Jinshan up. Uncle Fu heard what Jin Xi said earlier, and so did the Cai family father and son. Uncle Fu nodded secretly, feeling that Miss Jinxi is more capable and steady now, she is well-measured, she has not lost the rules, and fully demonstrated her affinity for the servants.

In the same way, the Cai family father and son also had a balance in their hearts. Since entering the shop, the Cai father has been secretly observing, and found that the shopkeeper and the guys in the shop, including Fu Ye, are all against the blue-clad man next to Mr. Liang Yuzhong. The girl in the dress was very respectful, and now, hearing the girl say this again, Father Cai already had a judgment in his heart, guessing that the new head of the house must be the girl in blue in front of him.

Therefore, his attitude was a little more respectful than before, and he spoke clearly and introduced himself clearly.
