Farmer’s Stepmother’s Skillful Farming

Chapter 832: Big Red and Big Purple

Su Mulan thought for a while and said, "Li Xia has never mentioned this to me. Neither of us knew the inside story. The clan school was next door. It took only a stick of incense for her to leave school. "

"After she gets out of school, you'd better talk to her in person. It depends on her whether she wants these things or not. I just have to trouble my little brother to wait a little longer."

"It doesn't matter, it would be best if I could express my gratitude to the third lady in person. I'll just bother you for a while." Mo Shu saluted again.

“Our farm family doesn’t have so many rules, so I don’t have to be so restrained.”

 Bai Shitang moved the chairs and brought tea over to say hello.

Mo Shu thanked them repeatedly, feeling more favorable and respectful towards Bai Shitang and Su Mulan.

　　Earlier when he came to inquire about the home of the little girl who was given to Jiang Huanrun, he inquired all the way here and found out that both Bai Shitang and Su Mulan were in business.

In Mo Shu’s view, most businessmen are profit-seeking, the smell of copper is very strong, and they are obsessed with business. If they see something beneficial, they must sharpen their heads and climb up.

But at the moment, Bai Shitang and Su Mulan behave very steadily. They are in compliance with the rules and make people feel respected, but they are not overly enthusiastic. They are just ordinary hospitality.

And in ordinary families, most matters involving a teenage child will be decided for the child. On the contrary, the couple has to wait for the child to come back and make their own decisions.

 It can be seen that he loves and respects his daughter very much.

 It is really rare for an ordinary farm family to think so highly of their daughter.

While Mo Shu was musing here, the students of the ethnic college next door became lively.

Followed by crisp laughter, "Hurry up, hurry up, I have to finish this homework well today, and after finishing it, let's play a game of chess..."

 In a moment, two figures flew into the yard.

Mo Shu hurriedly stood up and took a look, and sure enough he saw two little girls of similar age walking in, talking and laughing. One of them was the little girl who gave Jiang Huanrun the kite that day.

"Hello, Miss Third, hello, Miss." Mo Shu saluted solemnly.

Gu Yunxi didn't recognize the person coming, so he only gave him a blessing as a return gift.

Bai Lixia also gave a blessing. She recognized the boy from that day and laughed, "It's you."

 “It’s a great honor that Miss San still remembers me when I was little...”

 Mo Shu told Bai Lixia his purpose of coming.

“My young master said that he should have come to express his gratitude in person, but the master at home was strict and the young master could hardly go out, so he asked the younger one to come on his behalf.”

After hearing this, Bai Lixia scratched his ears.

 That kite, she didn't take it to heart at first.

It's just a kite. Even though I made it myself, it's just a gadget. I just give it to others. I really didn't expect to get anything in return.

 But now the master and the servant asked the servant to send a special gift of thanks...

 Bai Lixia didn't know how to deal with it, so she only raised her head and looked at Su Mulan.

Su Mulan smiled heartily and nodded to Bai Lixia.

 This means letting her make up her own mind. Bai Lixia thought for a while, and when she saw that the things Mo Shu sent were just for children to eat, drink and play, she said, "Young Master Jiang, you're too polite. I'd better take this food back. It's just a kite. I'll keep these." good."

Mo Shu was a little embarrassed, but Bai Lixia insisted on refusing to eat.

 After thinking for a moment, Mo Shu had no choice but to agree.

 Having collected some of the things I sent, I can still deliver them when I get back.

After delivering the things and thanking him, Mo Shu stood up and left.

Su Mulan and Bai Shitang led Bai Lixia to see them off briefly.

After Mo Shu's carriage had gone away, Bai Lixia and Gu Yunxi hurriedly wrote down the newly learned articles today, while Bai Shitang and Su Mulan went to the kitchen to put away the food.

When Xu and Li left, they had steamed the steamed rolls with soy sauce and stewed the carp and tofu. There was no need to prepare much at the moment. They only fried spinach and diced lotus root.

"The people who just came here are from the Jiang family. After thinking about it, I don't remember any villages named Jiang nearby." Su Mulan said, "There are several villages in the west, which seem to be the property of some officials. , Could it be someone from over there?”

"Probably yes, Linglong Pavilion delivers goods everywhere. I heard shopkeeper Guo mention it earlier that there seems to be a family named Jiang, who seems to be an official from some city, but I'm not sure it must be the Jiang family where this boy lives."

Bai Shitang thought for a while and replied, "The children's family is probably fine, and they can't interact with each other."

 “That’s true.” Su Mulan nodded.

Although there is a big difference between officials and ordinary people, this is just an accidental interaction between two children. It would be inappropriate to take it too seriously. It is better to let nature take its course.

　　Feng has come to Su Mulan’s house very frequently in the past few days.

When I came here, I had a little girl with me named Xiaohong.

This is one of the two new little girls that Bai Jinbei bought from the county town. She originally had a name, called Zhaodi. Originally, Mrs. Feng didn't want to change her name. After all, her parents got the name. As a slave, this name can also be considered as a thought for others.

But Xiaohong asked Feng to give her a new name, saying that since her parents were cruel and sold her, it was useless to keep this name, and the name Zhaodi always reminded her that her parents valued boys over girls. The boy went to school, but he ruthlessly sold his own daughter, which made him sad.

The little girl said sincerely, and Ms. Feng felt that it made sense. Thinking that she had Xiaocui before, she named her Xiaohong, which was considered a blessing and indicated that she would live a prosperous life in the future.

Of course there was no reason for the two girls to change just one name, as it would seem to be biased, so they discussed it and decided to call the other girl Xiaozi.

 It’s bright red and purple, it looks rich!

Xiaohong and Xiaozi are both thirteen years old this year. They are decent-looking and down-to-earth people. Xiaohong is used to raising children at home and can even do needlework. Xiaozi previously did cleaning work in a restaurant. He has quite a lot of experience in making soups and meals.

Ms. Feng arranged for Xiaohong to take care of the children with her and be responsible for the sewing work, while Xiaozi was responsible for the household chores.

"You have a lot of free time these days. Aren't you too busy taking care of Xiaocui's affairs?" Su Mulan asked with a smile while teasing Bai Yongle.

Xiao Cui has a crush on Zhang Menyi, but she has never spoken, and Zhang Menyi has also been silent.

Feng Shi and Bai Jinbei agreed to ask Bai Jinbei to find a suitable time to ask Zhang Menyi what he wanted. However, Bai Jinbei had not yet gone to Zhang Menyi's house, but Zhang Menyi came to the door first.

He came to ask for Xiao Cui's hand in marriage, and even came out with a sum of money, willing to redeem Xiao Cui's bond.
