Flowers are expensive

Chapter 16 The Boiling Caused by an Egg
When Gong and the others saw Mrs. Xiao came back alone, they knew that Li'er was missing.However, Grandma Yun's mouth was not insatiable, and she joked: "Hey, why don't you give us pears after driving away your son? It's a pity that your man is still guarding an orchard, and you still haven't gotten tired of eating the fruits?"

Sister-in-law Xiao knew she was making fun of her, but Grandma Yun was considered an older generation, so she didn't talk like she did with Mrs. Gong just now.She smiled perfunctorily and said: "Look at your old man, your words are so sour as a locust leaf. I will ask Dongchuan to send you two later! The child is getting bigger and bigger, and his legs are as sharp as a rabbit's." Yes, I really can't outrun him with my old legs. By the way, did Sister Gong just ask what kind of work is done in the orchard?" She immediately changed the subject, so that Grandma Yun would not have a chance to mention it again.

"I just asked casually," Gong said with a smile, "I don't know what kind of skills are needed to manage an orchard."

"Don't underestimate the work in the orchard," Xiao's sister-in-law said, unable to hold back the smile on her face, "my man said that not everyone who can go to the field can grow fruit. The work is so delicate! When will it be added?" It is troublesome when to pruning branches. If you haven’t done it for more than three or five years, don’t get into it and cause trouble! Don’t think it’s a fat job, and you accidentally made a mistake. , then bear it yourself. As long as you like the fruit that is sent to the master’s house every year, that’s fine, if the master is not satisfied, just wait to be punished!”

As soon as Mrs. Gong heard her words, she knew that it was not easy to go into the orchard, so she held it down and didn't mention it.

At this time, Mrs. Cao came out with a displeased face. Seeing them chatting, she yelled: "I'm waiting in the field, why don't you hurry up? If it doesn't rain for two days, take the red sweet potato The vines are all planted. How about digging out the piles and waiting for the rain to drain the ditch water? Don’t think that three new ones have come, and you can rely on them to be lazy! Don’t talk so much, hand Hurry up!" She finished speaking and went to her own room with a gloomy face.

After she left, Gong lowered her voice and asked, "What's the matter? Why are you so angry today?"

Grandma Yun inadvertently raised her head and saw the three of Lihua walking out, her eyes froze suddenly, and she whispered softly: "Look, take a quick look, what is Qin Lihua holding in her hand?"

"What a fuss..." Mrs. Xiao didn't think so at first, but when she turned her head, she was stunned, "Oh my God! No wonder the butler is so angry! This girl is actually holding an egg in her hand! Is it an egg? I Are you reading that right? It’s really an egg!”

Mrs. Gong also became excited: "It's not just one, it's two! Did you see that? That girl took an egg in one hand, and she was so proud of her! The housekeeper has always been in a hurry, even on New Years and holidays, it is rare to give us an egg." Eat, my man was sick last time, he asked the housekeeper for an egg, and even scolded me! She actually asked for two when she came, two! "

Several daughters-in-law and mother-in-law became restless, and even boiled, all because of those two eye-catching eggs.Lihua didn't take it seriously, walked to the front yard, and found that these people were staring at her indignantly, thinking that the back-to-back with Sister-in-law Xiao just now hadn't stopped, so she tossed the egg in her hand, and was about to say a few words of greeting.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they threw their hands, the women screamed and shouted in unison: "Don't break it!" It was as if what Ewha threw was not an egg, but a baby.She was taken aback, quickly caught the egg, and asked, "How many people, what about it? I'm not throwing eggs at you."

"You still dare to throw eggs at us? You..." Grandma Yun asked a little excitedly, "Where did you get the eggs from?"

"Eh?" Lihua asked with a puzzled look, "Where did it come from? Mother-in-law, you asked me this, so could it be that I laid it myself? I don't have the ability to eat grass and lay eggs! It was given to me by Mrs. Cao's housekeeper." !"
