Reborn farmhouse busy farming

Chapter 221

Both Luo Mingdu and Fang Shi silently fetched water to freshen up, and Xiqiao cleaned up the scissors and broken hair on the ground.

Not long after, Luo Baisu came back from the government office.

Luo Tian felt that Luo Baisu's Gu family was truly admirable from the bottom of his heart.Generally, if there is nothing to do in the government office, Luo Baisu must go home directly, and rarely go out to drink with his colleagues, let alone go shopping in Flower Street from time to time, which has never happened before.

After Luo Baisu came back, he felt that the atmosphere at home was very strange.Both Fang and Luo Ming obviously seemed to have cried, their eyes were red and swollen, so they frowned, put down the bowls and chopsticks, and asked, "What's the matter with you two? Like a walnut."

The Fang family looked over at Luo Tiandu, Luo Tiandu acted as if he hadn't heard it, and lowered his head to pick up the rice.Fang couldn't help but said: "It's nothing, just when I was resting in the yard just now, I got sand in my eyes, and it's much better now."

Hearing this, he knew he was lying, and Luo Baisu felt a little unhappy in his heart.

His life in the government office is not easy now, he has offended the Ministry of Households in the first place, and usually the government office has to pay money to the Ministry of Accounts for any expenses, and the Ministry of Accounts can delay it as long as it can.Since the beginning of this year, this situation has worsened, and the salary from last month has not yet been paid.

It's one thing that he's not good at officialdom, but it doesn't mean he's stupid. It's obvious that someone is deliberately making things difficult for him.He was also a little irritable, but he couldn't discuss official affairs with Fang, and it was useless to discuss with her, it would only make their wives more worried.

Fortunately, he is very frugal on weekdays. He saved all the money that Fang gave him every month that he could not use. He took it all out a few days ago and handed it over to Fang as last month's salary. It aroused Fang's suspicion.

The family had dinner as usual, washed up, and went back to their houses to rest.

Luo Baisu was really sleepy after a busy day, but he was worried about Fang Shi and Luo Mingdu just now. After Fang Shi put Luo Zijin to sleep and put her on the rocker, he asked her: "Tell me, what is it today?" What? Don't blow any sand into your eyes to fool me."

Fang's heart was also very aggrieved, she felt that her child had been wronged, but she couldn't support the child, it was really uncomfortable.Hearing host Luo Bai's question, he hesitated for a moment, and then said honestly: "Mingdu said in the afternoon that she would twist her hair to become a sister-in-law, so I beat and scolded her in a moment of anger."

"What?!" Luo Baisu had already closed his eyes, but now his whole body exploded from the kang.Is this okay? !This is going to make a fuss, and that kind of place is easy to get to.What a nonsense!

"Keep your voice down, Xiaodu finally persuaded her, you just take this matter to heart, don't talk to her again, lest you make her feel uncomfortable again."

"What's going on?" Luo Baisu lowered his voice and asked Fang probably because he was afraid of alarming the Luo Mingdu and sisters who lived in the wing.

Fang told Luo Baisu what happened today without any concealment.Although Luo Mingdu dismissed this idea later, once a person has this idea, he might think of it again.Fang's heart is also a little uncertain, she also knows that she has very limited knowledge and ability, so it is better to tell Luo Baisu about such a big matter, and let him make up his mind.

Luo Baisu didn't speak for a long time after hearing this. After a long time, he said through his teeth: "It's really what I owed him in my previous life."

Fang thought he was talking about Luo Mingdu, and she was afraid that Luo Baisu would be disappointed in Luo Ming, so she advised him: "Don't blame her, she came up with this idea because she was suffering in her heart and didn't want to drag the whole family down. .Alas! I am only worried about what will happen to her in the future? She is only 20 years old, and the days to come are still so long, so she will just die at home all her life?"

Of course, Fang is not reluctant to part with the money, she just feels sorry for Luo Mingdu's wonderful youth, just like this at home, and there is no one who knows how to love the heat, it is really pitiful.

Luo Baisu became more and more irritable, he hummed heavily, turned over, turned his back to Fang, and didn't speak for a long time.Fang thought he was asleep, and sat alone in the dark for a long time before pulling off the quilt and lying down.

Just laying down, I heard Luo Baisu muffled, "Pay more attention to Mingdu these few days, enlighten her well, let her relax, and don't think about it because of the Qi family."

"You haven't slept yet?" Fang was a little surprised, Luo Baisu didn't speak for a long time, she thought he had fallen asleep early.

"about to sleep."

Fang still couldn't figure it out: "Oh, you said it's fine, why did it become like this?"

What a good looking child Qi Jin looks. When Luo Mingdu got married, how many people envied him.The results of it?

"If I had known this before, it would be better than setting up a household in Mingdu at the beginning." Fang sighed, regretting it very much in her heart, "At that time, Xiaodu refused to agree with her life and death. I thought she was a little girl. The child has a temper, and he is reluctant to be named this sister, but now that I think about it, she can see it more clearly than you and I."

Luo Baisu was silent for a long time, and finally sighed softly: "When did the child make a mistake?" After speaking, he turned over and said wearily, "Go to sleep, I'm a little busy these days, and I'm busy with family matters. It's up to you to pay more attention."

Fang turned over and fell asleep.

Here, Fang and Luo Baisu discussed until midnight, but Luo Tiandu finished washing early, and then carried his pillow and quilt to Luo Mingdu's room, intending to watch him closely from now on. Luo Mingdu, afraid that she would become confused for a while, and clamor to become a nun.

Although the status of monks and nuns in this era is relatively high, practicing in the temple is simply hard work.She couldn't bear to let her children go to that kind of place to suffer, and the green lantern and wooden fish would accompany them for a lifetime.

Luo Mingdu had provoked Luo Tiandu into a rage in the afternoon, and he felt a little regretful in his heart, for fear that the younger sister would really ignore him from now on.Seeing Luo Tian came over with the quilt and pillow in his arms, his eyes lit up, and he took her quilt almost flatteringly, and said, "Xiaodu, are you not angry?"

Looking at her child's cautious and ingratiating appearance, Luo Tiandu also felt a little sour in her heart, but she felt that Luo Mingdu's idea this time was really terrible, and this trend must not be raised.Therefore, even if she was never really angry with Luo Mingdu in her heart, at this time, she still had to pretend, coughed twice, and then said: "I just finished taking a bath, and the bathtub was overturned, and the room is very damp. , I’ll come over to spend the night with you.”

"Okay, you can squeeze in two more nights."

Luo Ming hurriedly rolled out her quilt and fluffed her pillow, and the two sisters went to bed to rest.

After that, Luo Ming didn't mention half a word about becoming a monk, but he didn't like to go out very much, and he helped Fang's take care of Luo Zijin at home all day long.Probably because he will not be able to have children in the future, Luo Mingdu loves Luo Zijin very much, and is more careful and patient than Fang's mother.Luo Zijin is a bit squeamish and likes to cry. She is fine during the day, and only cries when she is hungry and when changing diapers. She sleeps peacefully when she is full. At night, when the family is ready to rest, she starts crying Throat howling.Sometimes even Fang's family is a bit disgusted, only Luo Ming is not afraid of hard work, hugging him all night and coaxing him to sleep.

Luo Tiandu originally thought it was not good for a boy to be so delicate, but considering that Luo Zijin was too young and Luo Mingdu also needed something to distract her, he didn't say anything more.

Mrs. Liu lived in Luo's house for more than half a year, and the spring plowing was over, and what happened to the Luo's family, Mrs. Liu probably felt that there would be no benefit to Fang Min if she stayed any longer, so she finally proposed to go home.

Hearing that Mrs. Liu was finally going home, Luo Tian also heaved a sigh of relief.To be honest, Liu Shi was very helpful when Fang gave birth that day, and she was a little grateful to Liu Shi, but she still didn't like that there were outsiders living in this family, so she felt uncomfortable.There is no way to change this kind of territorial awareness and emphasis on privacy brought out from the bottom of my heart.

Of course, the dowry she promised to Fang Min did not refuse, she took it out and asked Liu to take it back with her.

Although she only prepared a dowry for Fang Min according to the farm family's rules, a foot of good cloth, two gold-plated copper hairpins, and a better pair of silver jewelry were a very decent dowry.Fang Min stayed in Luo's house for so long, even if he was a stranger, he still had some affection. Of course, Luo Tian couldn't let her go back with a dowry worth a few pennies.

It's just that the family's income is low recently, and there are many expenses. Luo Tiandu opened his small treasury, took some bolts of high-quality silk cloth, and made two sets of silver jewelry, from hairpins to earrings to bracelets. Nor did it fall.That set alone cost dozens of dollars.Not only that, but I also bought a large bronze mirror that was polished and well-made, which is rare in Jinyong County.These are the most valuable ones, and the others are small gadgets, which are also found in Qiushui Town, but the production here is more sophisticated.

After Lin Lin finally figured it out, he had about seventy or eighty pennies.

After Liu Shi saw it, she was so happy from ear to ear.

Not to mention anything else, just that pair of jewelry can be regarded as a family heirloom in the farm family and passed down from generation to generation.

However, when Luo Tian handed things over to Mrs. Liu, he deliberately explained: "These two sets of jewelry are for Sister Min and Niu Niu, one set for each of them, Auntie should be more careful, don't give it to others. Of these few bolts of cloth, one is for grandma and grandpa, and the remaining two are for you and second uncle to cut clothes, and the other is also for Sister Min as a dowry." Other things are also specified, which ones are for whom of.

Liu Shi was even more satisfied after hearing this.why?Because among these things, except for the piece of cloth for Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang, almost everything else belonged to Fang Min and Niu Niu, and most importantly, Caimu and his wife had nothing.

"Because Auntie and Sister Min took care of my mother's confinement, our family is grateful. These are the wages of Auntie and Sister Min. After Auntie returns, don't make any noise." To be clear, I am afraid that the other two daughter-in-laws of the Fang family will follow Liu's example and come to the door. There are so many children and grandchildren in the Fang family, and she doesn't have that much money to pay for them.

Liu Shi naturally agreed.

The Fang family valued sons over daughters, so Liu Shi, who had two daughters, had a more difficult life in the Fang family than the other two sisters-in-law. Grandpa Fang also obviously paid more attention to the eldest son Fang Cai, which made Xu Shi often stand in front of Liu Shi The Liu family has already accumulated a lot of resentment for showing off the eldest sister-in-law's money.With Luo Tiandu's distribution today, Liu Shi suddenly felt a little elated, and felt that there was no more correct person in this world than Luo Tiandu, his niece.Even Luo Tian only put dowries on Fang Min and Niu Niu, and didn't put dowries on Fang Yang, so he didn't have any objections.

Liu Shi has been aggrieved in Fang's house all her life, and this time she finally feels proud.What about having a daughter?She gave birth to a girl who was willing to pay a dowry.Mrs. Xu has been tyrannical all her life, and her two sons don't even have a dowry gift.
