Make a fortune by farming: The sweetheart of the first assistant family

Huo Yunchao's statement was a bit exaggerated, but his prediction was correct. Zheng Shaoxuan was indeed warmly welcomed by Xu Tuhu and others.

Butcher Xu led his close friend back and saw Zheng Shaoxuan's figure from a distance. He grinned and said, "Did you see it? That scholar in green shirt is my daughter-in-law's husband! He is also a master from the Huo clan!"

"I know, I know, you're going to be confused by this sentence!"

"Third brother, what are you telling the truth? Your little brother Xu has gotten a big deal, and you still don't allow him to do anything?"

"Third brother, let's just follow Lehe and we'll be done."

"Okay, okay, you guys are the most discerning!"

Butcher Xu had long been used to the quarrels between his brothers. He didn't take it seriously at all and walked to the front first: "Shaoxuan, are the meals at home ready?"

Zheng Shaoxuan stepped forward, took Butcher Xu's basket, and replied: "Uncle Xu, when I came out, Huo Di was cooking fish head and tofu soup. We can have a feast when we get home."

Butcher Xu wanted to show off his good son-in-law and smiled brightly: "Okay, okay, Shaoxuan, come and say hello to your uncles!"

Zheng Shaoxuan respectfully greeted several uncles whom he had met once before. His attitude was sincere and his posture was very low. He did not have the dignity and arrogance of a scholar at all.

Butcher Xu's good brothers didn't say anything, but in their hearts they thought highly of Zheng Shaoxuan.

When they entered the Zheng family's new home, it was clean and tidy, no less tidy than the Xu family's. Their affection for Lin Xiaocao, whom they had never met, grew.

As soon as Butcher Xu entered the door, he shouted: "Xiao Cao, Ning Niang, Chao'er, we are back!"

Lin Xiaocao was the first to come out, with a look of panic on his face, but he still bravely stepped forward to say hello: "Godfather! Hello uncles!"

After listening to Xu Tuhu's one-sided description, his brothers had a very good first impression of Lin Xiaocao. Now they saw that she was wearing a pair of old and not new clothes, and then they saw Lin Xiaocao's true feelings for Xu Tuhu. In fact, they had a better impression of Lin Xiaocao.

Xu Ning came out with a plate of peanuts and greeted with a smile: "Dad, hello uncles!"

The oldest Yamen Liu said with a smile: "Ning Niang, these fried peanuts are really good! They taste delicious and crispy. Ning Niang's cooking skills have improved a lot!"

Xu Ning shook his head: "Uncle Liu, I didn't fry these peanuts, Huo Yunchao did."

"Huh? Chao'er still has such ability?" Liu Yamen pretended to be surprised.

In fact, he often heard Butcher Xu talk about Huo Yunchao. He knew that after Huo Yunchao married into the Xu family, the power of the Xu family was transferred from Xu Ning to Huo Yunchao.

Xu Ning often interacted with Yamen Liu. She glanced at Zheng Shaoxuan, who was chatting happily with other uncles. She probably guessed that her uncle Liu had good intentions and nodded heavily: "Yes! After getting married, Huo Yunchao will cook all the food at home." of."

"Not bad!"

Liu Yamen wanted to use this as an excuse to ask Zheng Shaoxuan to do more housework like Huo Yunchao, so as to share the burden on Lin Xiaocao's shoulders.

However, Huo Yunchao and Lin Xiaocao appeared too quickly and did not give Liu Yamen a chance to show off his acting skills.

Huo Yunchao knew nothing about this. He came out with freshly baked fish head and tofu soup and greeted him warmly: "The dishes are here, the banquet is ready! Uncles and uncles, hurry up

Come sit down and let's talk while we eat. "

At the wine table, in addition to Tutu Xu's close friends, there were also elders from the Zheng clan specially invited by Zheng Shaoxuan.

The Zheng clan members came here to be witnesses and let the Zheng clan know that Lin Xiaocao was no longer a helpless orphan, but that she had family to rely on.

At the wine table, the elders of the Zheng family quickly became acquainted with the relatives and friends of the Xu family. The group of relatives and friends, headed by Liu Yamen, intentionally or unintentionally "showed off" their family background and abilities, in order to frighten some people in the Zheng family who had ulterior motives. people.

After the banquet started, Butcher Xu couldn't wait to announce: "From now on, Lin Xiaocao is my goddaughter, Xu Dazhu! Ning Niang's godsister!"

Liu Yamen was the first to give support: "Okay! Brother Xu only has one daughter at his knees, and the heirs are few. It must be the spirit of the younger brother and sister in heaven. He couldn't bear that Brother Xu and Ning Niang were too lonely, so he sent Xiaocao to Brother Xu to be his daughter and Ning Niang to be his daughter. Sister! This is a God-given fate!"

"Yes, look at these sisters. Who wouldn't praise them for how good-looking they are? They must have been destined to be sisters in this life."

"That's right! Come, let's have a drink and celebrate!"

……

After three rounds of drinking, the guessing sounds got louder and louder, and the atmosphere was lively. Even Huo Yunchao, who was as slippery as a loach, could not escape the clutches of Liu Yamen and was poured several glasses of wine.

Xu Ning and Lin Xiaocao didn't drink at all, so they left the table after eating and drinking.

Both sisters were working hard with no time to spare. As soon as Lin Xiaocao put down her rice bowl, she grabbed the bamboo knife to cut the bamboo shreds.

Xu Ning trimmed, painted, and framed the braided bamboo curtain: "Sister Xiaocao, Father Huo brought the paint over, but

I haven't thought about the wood for the frame yet. "

Lin Xiaocao said: "Bamboo curtains need to be soaked in water, so let's use non-absorbent wood as the frame? Otherwise, the frame wood will be saturated with water and the bamboo curtain will become very heavy."

Xu Ning: "Okay. After I finish painting, let's go to Huo's house to pick out the frame wood."

Lin Xiaocao asked curiously: "How thick should this paint be? One layer or two layers? Did Uncle Huo say anything?"

Xu Ning didn't ask how expensive the paint was. Firstly, she was afraid that Huo Tianxiang would think too much, and secondly, she was afraid that the paint would be too expensive and she would not be able to brush it harshly: "Dad Huo said to let me watch and brush until the surface is even. "

Lin Xiaocao ran into the house: "You have to use a pig-bristle brush to paint, right? Ning Niang, I made a new brush with very fine bristles. It should be better at painting than your hard-bristled one. I'll go Give it to you."

Xu Ning and Lin Xiaocao are really in tune with each other. You say what you say and I do what you say. There is discussion and discussion. The two sisters cooperate very well.

Halfway through the meal, Liu Yamen got up and went to the backyard to see Xu Ning who was painting seriously, and Lin Xiaocao who was cutting bamboo silk next to him.

"Ning Niang, Xiaocao, what are you two doing?"

Xu Ning just finished painting one layer of paint: "Uncle Liu, I am painting the bamboo curtain. The bamboo curtain is a tool used to make bamboo paper."

Liu Yamen was surprised and delighted: "Making bamboo paper? Chao'er can really make bamboo paper? I thought your father was too drunk and was bragging."

Xu Ning said without any emotion: "Uncle Liu, we don't have much confidence in whether bamboo paper can be made. However, it doesn't matter even if it can't be made. We have to give it a try. What if it is really made?"

Liu Yamen promised on the spot: "Ning Niang, Xiaocao, if you can really make bamboo paper, Uncle Liu will

I will find a way for you to report it to the county magistrate! "

Xu Ning and Lin Xiaocao looked at each other and said thank you in unison: "Thank you, Uncle Liu!"

Liu Yamen slapped his big palm on his chest with his big palm and gave them some reassurance: "Bamboo paper is too rare and precious. If it can be made, let it be popularized. For such a great achievement, no matter who is the county magistrate, he will give it to Your great reward!"
