Farmer's Head: Busy farming

Chapter 47

Chapter 47

Mrs. Zhang's cooperation surprised all the Meng family present, except Xi'er.

Seeing Zhang's smiling face, Xi'er couldn't help feeling amused in her heart. She agreed so straightforwardly because she wanted to share the wages of the hire with her family.
"Okay, that's good, Chang Dong, you will invite someone with me tomorrow." Meng Hai then laughed and said to his eldest son.

Meng Changdong nodded, with a simple and honest look on his face, "Well, it's done."

Xi'er looked at the simple and honest appearance of her elder brother, but she was not afraid that he would suffer a disadvantage. A person like Meng Changdong would not suffer any big disadvantages. The main thing was to see Mrs. Zhang. Can live well.

On the dinner table, there was a plate of boiled prawns, which was almost divided in a short while. Chu Zigui brought a lot of ingredients, and Xi’er only cooked ten freshwater prawns. Take a bite and leave.

The rest of the ingredients are naturally cheap Xi'er, so I hurried to clean up and cook a table of dishes.

Meng Yuan'er was not interested in the mushroom soup, but liked to eat shrimp, and kept eating one after another.

You know, when I go to the banquet with my mother, there are only eight shrimps on a table, and there will be no one for each person. How can I let myself eat to my heart's content like now.

Mrs. Zhang is not used to eating green shrimp, and finds it fishy, ​​but the fish has a few extra chopsticks.

The next day, Xi'er was still swimming in her dream, but she was dragged out of the bed by Liu Shi and Meng Yuan'er.

She yawned again and again, resting her chin on one hand and sleepy eyes, said lazily, "Mother, second sister, what are you doing?"

Through the window paper, Xi'er looked outside, the sun had not yet come out, and the sky had just turned white.

Meng Yuan'er went to find clothes for Xi'er, but Liu Shi directly helped Xi'er comb her hair, and said while combing, "Xi'er, pack up quickly and cook, your father and the others will be ready later." I'm going to hire people to work, and I have to take care of two meals."

have to!I thought it was a big deal, but it turned out that I let myself cook.

"Mother, it's still early, don't worry, let me go back to sleep again." Xi'er went to bed late yesterday, and finally climbed into bed after being tired all day, and was dragged by Meng Yuaner to whisper , It's already midnight.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Liu hurriedly said, "Oh, don't sleep, don't sleep, it's just a few days, just get busy."

"Mom, both you and the second sister are good at cooking, you guys should do it." Xi'er felt her eyelids fighting, "Isn't there still a sister-in-law, let her do it."

"Your cooking is delicious, and this treat is counted as favors, you know." Seeing that Xi'er didn't pay much attention, Mrs. Liu said earnestly, "You cook well, our Meng family Brighten your face."

Well, my mother said so, what else can Xi'er do, do it!
"Sure, I'll go wash up. Second sister, go to the kitchen to cook breakfast for the family first. I'll go after I finish cleaning." Xi'er nodded obediently, rubbed her eyes with her hands, and seemed to be a little awake.

Seeing that her daughter agreed, Mrs. Liu was relieved, and pulled Meng Yuan'er out with a smile.

Xi'er changed her clothes and washed again, Liu Shi and Meng Yuan'er had already prepared breakfast and brought them into the house.

Xi'er was at the dinner table, listening to Meng Hai and Meng Changdong discussing which family to invite.

After the two of them had discussed it, Xi'er opened her mouth and said to Zhang, "Sister-in-law, come and help me with the cooking, and you can also light the fire."

Mrs. Zhang was stunned, a little reluctant, "Huh? I, I still have a child with me."

"You just let your mother hold the wealth and honor. My mother is still ill and can't work." Xi'er said directly without saving any face.

Mrs. Zhang still wanted to say something, but she didn't want Meng Changdong to open her mouth, "Well, I will let your sister-in-law help you."

Mrs. Liu didn't say a word the whole time. This was what Xi'er had explained to her. Today, she was busy greeting those helpers. She didn't let Mrs. Liu interfere with the kitchen affairs, mainly because she was afraid that she would be tired.

Mrs. Liu was naturally happy and leisurely, watching her youngest daughter eating her eldest daughter-in-law to death, she was secretly happy.

Mrs. Zhang muttered a few words reluctantly, and then said, "Okay."

After all, I have to stockpile firewood at home, and now that Meng Xier is helping me with the cooking, I have already relaxed a lot, so I can't say anything else.

After dinner, everyone performed their duties. Mrs. Liu went to the east room to coax the children, while Mrs. Zhang was directly dragged to the kitchen by Xi'er.

Fortunately, the food and vegetables at home are all complete, so Xi'er didn't dare to let Mrs. Zhang cook directly, but only instructed her to wash the vegetables and light the fire.

Meng Yuan'er saw Zhang Shi being ordered around by Xi'er, wanted to laugh, but could only hold back.

The little chicken had also been raised for several months. Xi'er thought about it and asked Meng Yuaner to kill a chicken for stewing soup.

Those people must be very tired from working, but there are only a few chickens in the house. If they just eat meat, they will not be enough to eat if they are all killed. It is not a problem to stew them into soup, and one bowl per person is not a problem.

In this room, the women were busy in the kitchen, and Meng Hai led Meng Changdong to go door to door looking for help.

Seeing that they had reached the gate of Li Daniu's house, Meng Changdong pulled Meng Hai and whispered, "Father, why don't we ask Daniel for help?"

Meng Hai was taken aback for a moment, and said in a puzzled way, "Why? You know that Li Daniu has all his strength, but he is a good hand at work."

Meng Changdong leaned into Meng Hai's ear and whispered, "Father, it's not like you don't know that Li Daniu is clamoring every day to marry us Xi'er, so let's go to him for help, so we can't make this matter come true? What's wrong with outsiders?" Look at Xi'er? It's hard to talk about your in-law's family in the future."

Meng Hai thought for a while about what the elder son said, and it seemed to make some sense. Although Xi'er was not close to him, he was a father after all. Naturally, it could be seen that Xi'er didn't have that kind of intention for Li Daniu. The two walked to the courtyard At the door, he turned back directly.

Li Daniu happened to come out of the yard, and saw the father and son of the Meng family who hadn't walked a few steps at a glance, trotted a few steps and shouted, "Uncle Meng, brother Changdong, what are you doing here?"

Li Daniu's shout made Meng Hai and Meng Changdong stunned in place, really not wanting to do anything.

Li Daniu was big, and he caught up with the two of them in a few strides, so he asked with a shy smile, "What are you doing?"

"We. Let's find someone to do something." Meng Changdong stuttered and opened his mouth after being overwhelmed by his questioning.

When Li Daniu heard this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately reached out and patted his chest, and said confidently, "What's the matter? Look for me! Brother Changdong, I'm a good hand at work, right? Brother Changdong!"
