Flowers in full bloom

Chapter 134 The Uncle is Here

But when I think about what Brother Rong Jin did today, I secretly feel lucky that I am a man. It's a pity that I am still young and can't do many things. I need to grow up quickly, study hard, and strive to pass the imperial examination as soon as possible, so that I can support my sister.

Today in the carriage, I saw with my own eyes and heard with my own ears Sister Qingge mocking and ridiculing my sister, and my heart felt as uncomfortable as if it was blocked by a ball of cotton.

If my grandparents were still alive, if my parents were still alive, how could my sister be treated so lightly and laughed at? Unfortunately, my grandparents are gone, and my parents have no news either, and they are probably no longer in this world. My sister is left alone.

Take good care of your sister and study for the imperial examination. Xiaoyuan finally fell asleep in a daze listening to his grandfather's last words.

However, Hua Lei, who was at the center of the topic, had no idea about this. After returning to Qihuayuan, she carefully sorted out the things on her hands.

Now the preliminary work at Yuanying Manor has been almost completed, and in the future we just need to follow up on the work according to the situation.

There are more peaches and pears in Baihua Village this year, but because of last year's experience, a lot of preliminary work has been done, and Dingtao jars almost do not need Huabud's participation in buying supplies.

Because Brother Kong has been teaching the farmers in Baihua Village to read and count wholeheartedly for almost a year, and they have almost learned the basics, so this year the flower buds for canned fruit will be taken care of by the Zhao family and their sons. If there is a shortage of manpower, they can temporarily find villagers nearby.

As for the farmland, Uncle Zheng and his family were in charge. Hualei only needed to go over from time to time to check on the overall situation of the farm.

Hualei fell asleep peacefully.

Because I felt relaxed, I recovered from my insomnia without any medication. The next day, Hualei woke up just as the sky was turning pale. I squinted for a while in bed, then got out of bed refreshed. I got dressed, washed up, and started walking in the yard.

After taking a walk and having breakfast, just when I was about to go to the girls' school early, a maid at the back door came hurriedly to Qihuayuan and said that Xiaoqun from Qingyun Lane was waiting for Hualei at the back door, and that the uncle from Dade Town had brought his son and nephew to Qingyun Lane and wanted to see Hualei.

They came to take Tian Dayou and his family back to Dade Town County Government to continue serving their sentences. It has been three months, and Tian Changshi and Tian Xiaoxing can walk again.

Hualei asked Qingying to report to Madam Pei, and asked Qinglian to go to the clan school to bring Xiaoyuan over, preparing to go back to Qingyun Lane together. The last time Tian Dayou came to the house to make trouble, Hualei did not bring Xiaoyuan back. This time, when the uncle and his family came, Xiaoyuan should go to greet them.

The siblings followed Xiaoqun's mule cart back to Qingyun Lane. Tian Dacheng, his second son Tian Changmu, and Tian Dayou's youngest son Tian Changsha, the three of them were sitting in the main room anxiously. The teacup on the table was still full, and no one had taken a sip.

Hualei and Xiaoyuan got off the mule cart and hurried a few steps to the main hall to bow to their uncle. Tian Dacheng hurriedly helped Hualei up, and before he could speak, his old face had already flushed red.

Hua Lei said, "Grand uncle, second cousin, fourth cousin, you are here. Haven't you had breakfast yet? Aunt Fu, go to the bun shop and get some buns and wontons."

"No, no, Lei'er, we've already eaten, we've already eaten." Tian Dacheng hurriedly pulled Hua Lei. "Lei'er, I'm too embarrassed to see you? I didn't expect that Uncle Changmu was so shameless that he came to Shangjing City to ask you for money.

Now it's alright, they've suffered, and they deserve it. This time when I take them back, I will definitely give them a good lesson and teach them to behave properly in the future. Don't do this kind of thing again. You just need to live your life peacefully in the future."

Hua Lei smiled, "Uncle, this is not your fault. They have legs, and you can't watch them all day and night. Now that they have committed a crime, they are the ones who have to suffer. It's only Uncle and the two cousins ​​who have to make this trip. Drink some water and have breakfast first, and we'll talk slowly."

She placed the wontons brought by Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu in front of them one by one, and put the plate full of big meat buns in the middle of the table.

Several people looked at the bowls full of wontons in front of them. The flesh-pink wontons were floating up and down in the oily soup, and the aroma filled the air. They swallowed their saliva unconsciously.

Hualei took a small bowl of wontons and started eating with a spoon. In fact, she had already had breakfast in the mansion, but in order to appease her uncle and his family, she still picked up the small spoon.

Second cousin Tian Changmu looked at Hualei, then looked at his father Tian Dacheng, and was the first to pick up the spoon beside him, scoop up a wonton and put it into his mouth. Immediately, the fresh and delicious taste filled his entire mouth, and he couldn't stop eating it. He swallowed the wonton in his mouth and scooped up another one and put it into his mouth.

Tian Changsha, who was sitting next to him, looked at Tian Changmu eating with a satisfied look on his face, and carefully picked up the spoon. Tian Dacheng, who was sitting at the top, looked at his son and nephew, sighed, took the wonton bowl, and started eating.

In order to save money, they had been hungry for most of the past half month, eating mostly dry food and drinking cold water when thirsty. They hadn't eaten fresh food for a long time. This morning, the three of them only shared a pancake and drank a few bowls of cold water. The delicious and fragrant wontons immediately warmed their dry stomachs.

Hualei picked up a few more buns and put them on the porcelain plate in front of the uncle. "Uncle, try the buns from our bun shop. They are made by Aunt Song. They taste good." Tian Dacheng looked at Hualei, nodded, picked up a bun silently, and put it in his mouth. The other two also took a bun silently. The meal was eaten in silence.

"Uncle, did you just arrive today? You haven't been to the yamen yet, right?" Hua Lei asked.

"Yes, we entered the city as soon as the city gate opened in the morning and came directly to your side. We haven't been to the government office yet." Tian Dacheng replied.

Hua Lei nodded and asked, "What are your plans for today, uncle? Are you going to the government office first? Or are you going to rest here first? Or go tomorrow?" Uncle thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the government office first."

"Okay, then we'll go to the yamen today." Just as he was about to tell Uncle Fu to harness the mule cart, Xile came over from the shop.

"Miss, the housekeeper Pei from the Marquis' Mansion is here." As he spoke, he saw the housekeeper Pei and the coachman entering the courtyard together. "Miss Hua, the old lady asked me to come over and see if there is anything you can do for me?"
