Paternity

Chapter 86

A group of soldiers below rubbed their eyes, how long has it been? It seems they swallowed some mouthfuls of saliva.

One, two, three... seven!

That's right, the person lying under the ring, uh, uh, yelling, isn't their leader.

"Gudong—"

The sound of swallowing saliva was very heavy and long. Everyone's eyes turned to the only one still standing in the ring. He was as strong as a bull and as strong as a bear. The so-called fighting skills were on the face of absolute strength, there was no room for resistance at all.

Su Aobai showed his trademark smile to the soldiers present, as friendly and honest as ever.

QAQ was terrifying, this was the smile of Hades, a group of weak and pitiful warriors who only wanted to cuddle and cuddle and draw strength from their comrades.

Wang Chunmu was also stunned, and he recalled the sentence that there was cattle in the place before.

"I've never practiced martial arts, but my strength is very strong..."

This sentence was not exaggerated at all, it was just an unparalleled magical power, he had found a treasure!

As for the second part of the sentence, he still did not believe it, it was still the same saying, big chest and no brain.

This boy's chest muscles are larger than when his mother was breastfeeding, how his brain could grow/

"Miss Lin, are the meeting gifts we prepared suitable?"

On the other hand, Erniang and Ny. Lin was preparing some gifts in return.

Originally, I planned to visit some neighbors the next day after I settled, but who knew that some of the neighbors who lived closer came bringing food first at noon today.

There is no meaning, just some dried mushrooms and some pickled vegetables that they bring from their hometown.The taste of food in the south is different from in the local area, but also has a distinctive taste.

Madam Lin let Erniang make his own decisions, and only when Erniang made a mistake would he carefully remind her from the sidelines.

However, in his opinion, this little master handled things very well. Even though she was just an ordinary village girl before, she was neither arrogant nor impatient. He was not only cautious in doing things, but also humbly accepted some of his suggestions. Much better.

"Enough. The three families who came to visit during the day are staying closer to our families. We can add an extra serving of dried mushrooms. Other families can all give gifts according to this standard."

Mrs Lin had just added some visitation gifts, called reciprocity.

Erniang nodded. Dad said that this grandma used to be a nanny in a rich family. He raised a woman from that family and knew a lot of rules. She was no longer the village girl she used to be. Some rules to learn, still to learn.

Erniang also remembered what that annoying woman said during the day.

His father had already decided not to remarry, and in that case, his rules should not be wrong, otherwise, one would think he was very uneducated because he had no mother.

Because of her childhood experience, Erniang's mind was a little sensitive, she preferred to hide many things in her heart and think about them slowly, and she was unwilling to say them. Even now that he and his father had become close, he still maintained this matter.

Erniang disliked the Xu Wang family, but etiquette was undeniable, and he watched in silence as Nanny Lin made the three gifts a little heavier.

Since he hated the Xu Wang family the most, Erniang chose to visit the Xu family first, so that he could use the reason there were some other families who needed to visit to leave immediately.

Before leaving, Erniang learned some information about this neighbor from Ny. Lin's.

For example, Lady Xu, who lived next door, was Centurion Xu's birth cousin. The two married in their hometown. When she was pregnant with her first daughter, Centurion Xu joined the army. Three years passed between them. In the interest of her children, she only then brought her eldest daughter to Lin'an, and then gave birth to four daughters and a son.

Xu Wangshi considered the son he eventually gave birth to as a treasure. The first five children, except for the eldest daughter, were no different from servants. At home, Xu Wangshi was the empress dowager, who did not do any work. Take it off the store owner.

When he saw Erniang coming to the door with a gift in return, Xu Wangshi's smile became brighter, at this moment, he also forgot about the inconvenience during the day.

He knew that beautiful people who could afford servants would get some more expensive gifts after receiving half a pickled plate from him Mushrooms were quite satisfied.

"Look, look, what gift did you bring to the door? There's nothing to entertain at home, Wu Ya, why don't you pour a cup of tea for the guests."

Xu Wangshi gathered the mushroom mushrooms again, and then walked quickly to his room with small steps, preparing to lock these items in the cupboard in his room, she said, to prevent some girls in the family from ruining these nice things while she's gone. .

He did not think it was rude to leave a guest in the main hall like this, and he casually arranged for the youngest girl to pour tea for Erniang, then disappear, making Erniang sit dry, which was quite embarrassing.

He could only carefully look at the Xu family's daughter.

Daya and Erya are not home, while Sanya and Siya are making promises and washing clothes in the yard. This was the job Xu Wang had taken over from some nearby alley. One bucket of clothes could produce five Wen. A girl should wash more than a dozen buckets of dirty clothes every day, regardless of the cold or heat.

When Wuya brought her hot tea, Erniang saw her fingers were very thick due to years of soaking in water and washing clothes, and some of the knuckles even changed shape.

After bringing the tea, Wu Ya returned to the courtyard in silence, and washed the clothes with his two older sisters.

The three faces were equally numb, and Wuya, who had just brought her tea, was actually the same age as her, which reminded Erniang of her before.

In fact, according to the officer's monthly silver, not to mention how rich the family was, but it also allowed the family to eat and dress warmly.

It is normal to have more children these days, and there are still more children in the countryside, the monthly silver of an officer far exceeds the income of such people.

But even when she can eat enough, ma'am. Xu asked her daughter to take over many laundry jobs, which was enough to show her violence as a mother.

No, it was just his violence towards his daughter.

In this alley, only Lady Xu Wang, the officer, let her daughter do this kind of work, the girls of the Xu family had to help the daughters of other families to wash the clothes, which made them How could I raise my head while playing on weekdays?

"Wow"

Suddenly there was a cry of children in the distance, from far to near.

As cries rang out, the faces of the three girls in the courtyard suddenly changed, they were no longer just numb, but more nervous and depressed.

"Why is Xiaobao crying!"

"Xiao Bao is fine!"

The three sisters wiped their wet hands with the ends of their clothes, and surrounded the crying little boy and walked into the house.

The boy was about three or four years old, and he was very fat, like a meatball.This kind of fatness was not only the cute baby fat of a child, but the meat all over his body, he said, which was so swollen that he could barely see his eyes.

It is said that the fatter children are blessed, but somehow Erniang feels this level of obesity looks very scary.

Madam Xu Wang in the bedroom also heard the gesture, rushing out of the room in haste, running to her precious son in three or two steps, he said, and then pulled some girls who persuaded her brother with sweet words, and did not With a little effort, the three little girls were pushed by their mother and sat on the ground.

"What's wrong, a mother's little treasure is intimidated by someone, the mother seeks it, is there a law to bully an older child."

Xu Wang suddenly exploded, struggling to hold his fat son and preparing to go outside.

"Don't mess with me, don't mess with me, mom hit them!"

Little Pangdun was crying and fussy, and after a few words of crying, he was almost out of breath.

"Oh oh oh, baby don't cry, baby don't cry."

Xu Wang hurriedly touched his back to make his breathing easier.

When he heard that his son was not beaten or scolded, Xu Wang's anger eased a little, but he still hated the brats in the alley, his little Treasure was very good, he said, why didn't he bring his Xiaobao to play.

"Three yes, four yes, quickly grab your sister's steamed egg pudding, and make a bowl of rice paste."

After speaking, he looked at his precious son again.

"Let's eat egg pudding and rice pasta. After the meal, I'll come to them and have them play with you in the future."

Seeing this, Er Niang's expression was already extremely cold, wasn't this just a fortune. And compared to this arrogant little fat man, Fu Bao became less hateful.

He's about to resign, but Mrs. Lin held onto her shoulder and shook her head slightly at him. Lady Xu Wang is a narrow-minded person, currently it is best for her, a mother-in-law, to resign.

"You're busy, your family's the first neighbor we've been to, and I'm gonna take the lady to visit some other family."

It just so happened that he would give his son custard eggs and rice porridge Who knew if the neighboring girl would be greedy for such good things, so he asked her to eat.

He was stingy if he didn't give it when the time came, but if he did, his son would have to eat less.

Xu Wang swallowed his calculations, put on a smiling face, exchanged pleasantries, and watched them leave.

After stepping out of the gate of Xu's house and walking a few steps to make sure no one in the courtyard could hear her, Ms. Lin gave a few words to Er Niang.

"It is better to offend a man than to offend a criminal. Unless you're ready to completely separate yourself with criminals, otherwise, you'll still have to pay attention to some skills while talking to them." - Unknown."

Seeing that Erniang was thinking, he added another sentence.

"Most of the concubines from the officer families living in this area were relatively straightforward.When the master is promoted and the young miss wants to meet, the wives will be different. They speak well, but those people you can't just listen to the surface.The same sentence is sometimes true sometimes false, and sometimes half true. If you have to pay attention to his words.But it's okay, mbak smart, we can read slowly and learn slowly.”.

Madam Lin thought to herself, since her master was gradually promoted, the young miss could also learn slowly, and now she was in no hurry to teach the young miss too much. There was no suitable battlefield, and instead, he had learned many tactics, which were neither fish nor fowl.

After hearing these words, Er Niang seemed to understand but half understood.

How do you feel. The wife of a rich family seems so tired? There are so many ways to talk.

After which, they visited the Xu family across the door.

The current head of the Xu family was an old woman. Madam Lin learned that this old lady Xu came here half a year ago. Back then, Xu Dazhu had just been promoted to an officer not too long ago. When the old woman came, she brought along her widowed eldest son, the daughter-in-law and two children born to the eldest daughter-in-law seemed ready to take root here.

As for Xu Dazhu's mother-in-law, she had lived with her mother-in-law in her hometown in the early years. The couple only got together for a few days throughout the year. His sister-in-law looked at him.

Calculating the time, Xu Dazhu's daughter-in-law had been dead for an entire year, and it was estimated that Ms. Xu will soon meet a new daughter-in-law for his son.

Madam Xu and Madam Xu seemed to be relaxed people, but they did not say much, Er Niang laid down the gifts, returned the dishes, exchanged words and went to the next house.

The first and last families visited were very special.Su Erniang had a good impression of Yang Liu's family, so he made the Yang family the last one to visit.

"Who are you looking for?"

After taking a walk, Erniang's legs became sore and his face became stiff from laughing.When he knocked on Yang's door, he couldn't help but rub his cheeks with his hands to calm the muscles on his cheeks.

But he did not expect the door opener to be so fast, before he could put his hand down, the door opened, and a boy one and a half heads taller than him took his head out of the door.

If it was not daytime, Erniang felt he might not be able to see his head There was such a dark person in this world, the whites of his eyes and teeth were whitening and sparkling.

Er Niang's eyes were round and round, his eyes were already big, but now it looked like two black grapes.

"I see, you are the new little sister who moved next door!"

Yang Qiwu jumped three feet high, turned around and was about to run into the house to tell his mother, but suddenly realized that he had not fully opened the door, only opening a small gap, but, so he went back halfway and opened the door.

"Come with me!"

As he said that, he flew into the house again, nimble like a monkey.

At lunch, Yang Qiwu began to listen to his mother talk about how kind and beautiful the sister next to him was.If she gave them a little sister back then, she said, she would definitely be as attractive as the little girl in the family.

Yang Qiwu scoffed at his mother's words. Her mother just wanted her daughter crazy, and she didn't think about it. Just like her and her father, how good a daughter would be to be born. Moreover, their temperament, their seven brothers of the One family counted as the other, which was not a demon of the world, if she really gave birth to a younger sister, she was not, his mother had to worry about how to marry this girl.

Regarding her mother's evaluation of her neighbor's younger sister, Yang Qiwu did not take her seriously. After all, her mother thought that she rarely saw girls from any family, and even the very annoying girls in the Xu family were always at home .He said they were poor.

Yang Qiwu curled his lips, and when he ran to the second courtyard, he could not help but hold his head to look at it.

This little sister is so white, like the little flour her mother hid, her eyes are so big, like the frog she caught from the ground a few days ago, she is a little cute.

When Erniang and Ny. Lin walked to the second courtyard, Liu Yinghua was walking out while holding the ear of her youngest son.

"This brat is really stupid, how could he leave a guest and run away on his own."

Seeing Erniang looking at him with wide eyes, Liu Yinghua released her hand quickly, with a different expression on her face, lovingly blaming her son beside her.

How could the cute little girl see his angry side? She is a loving, gentle and kind mother. The scene was pure coincidence.

"We are all neighbors, and we will get along well for many years in the future. Why are you so polite?"

Madam Lin said with a smile, then handed over the gift prepared by the host.

"Aunt Yang, these are some land instruments that my father and I brought from our hometown. It's not a valuable item, so you can take it."

Er Niang glanced at him and rubbed his ears Standing behind Aunt Yang baring his teeth, Yang Qiwu, who was grimacing on his back, resisted the urge to laugh.

Black charcoal with very funny facial features.

"Well, my aunt won't be polite to you, come here, sit down quickly, we don't pay attention to that imaginary rule."

Liu Yinghua placed the gift brought by Erniang on the table beside her, then grabbed her hand affectionately and sat down beside her.

"This is my aunt's youngest son, named Yang Qiwu. From now on, you can call him Big Brother Yang Qi or Yang Laoqi."

Liu Yinghua pointed to her son beside her, "Auntie has six more sons, unfortunately they are not home, I will introduce you tomorrow."

"I have a cousin on top of me, everyone in my family calls me Erniang."

Su Erniang introduced himself gently.

Liu Yinghua stopped when she heard those words. Currently, many people did not bother naming their daughters, so they only referred to them by their rank, such as Da Ya Er Ya, Da Niang Er Niang, and so on, and Da Ni Er Ni is abundant.

Because the name of a girl is a personal thing, that is when you are not married, your birth relatives will call her, after you get married, people outside will call your husband's last name more often.

For example, Liu Yinghua, outside, people often called him Yang Liushi, or the son-in-law of the Yang family After a hundred years, only traces of Yang Liushi were left on his tombstone.

But people who pay more attention to their daughters will still give them a regular name, even if this name is only called a few years, maybe only her husband will mention it later.

Ernoang...

He clearly felt that the new officer was very fond of this girl.Could it be that a man's mind was so rude that he could not pay attention to such details?

Thinking of this, Liu Yinghua looked at Erniang with more loving eyes.

Her biological mother died young, and even though her biological father loved her, she was careless, she must have suffered many grievances and hardships in these years.

"From now on, treat my aunt like your own."

He touched Erniang's little hand again, and the woman who served him would teach him some things about his daughter's house, but after all, there were two generations behind, could his grandmother and mother be the same?Liu Yinghua thought this girl was a match. Her vision, if not for fear of scaring this girl too closely once she appeared, she would have said that she could recognize her and become her daughter.

As he was speaking, Liu Yinghua suddenly glared at his youngest son.

They were whispering about the woman's house, what she was doing here as a man, and she didn't even look at her.

Yang Qiwu was stared at for no reason, and touched his nose helplessly.

He should be outside the house, not inside the house, it turns out he is the one who is redundant.

Come on, let him go, can't he go!

Yang Qiwu left angrily, and when he reached the door, he quickly turned around and wanted to look at his mother, Liu Yinghua lowered her head and looked at Erniang's extremely cute little face in shock, and Erniang just for being raped, looking a little embarrassed, she turned her head and looked outside the house.

The two looked at each other, Yang Qiwu still maintained a grimacing attitude pulling his face and sticking out his tongue.

"gasps"

The little girl could not help but laugh, and quickly closed her mouth.

Yang Qiwu's face suddenly reddened, but he was dark, no matter how red he was, he had no idea.

Looking at Erniang's smiling brows and crooked eyes, Yang Qiwu turned around like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and blurred without a trace.
