Chapter 493
·Thoughts
It seems that he has become much more sensible.
Bai Rongxuan smiled and said, "What can I do? Apart from being in my own room, I go to my mother's place. Without you watching me, I have put down all my homework. If I don't say anything else, my words will definitely not be as good as you."
Tang Xueru said, "What's the matter? You are smart, and when we go back and write together, you will be able to catch up soon. And I have mastered some tips and can share them with you for free, but you can't learn in vain. You have to make some snacks for me to eat."
After hearing this, Bai Rongxuan sighed deliberately, "You are still free, you are clearly taking advantage of the situation to rob."
"Haha!" Tang Xueru laughed in a good mood, "I have only summarized this after taking many detours. I can't tell you for nothing, right?"
The two sisters were talking jokes together, and they were close together, and there was no trace of rusty.
Mrs. Tang was very pleased and ordered Huang, "It is rare that the family is full, so I will have lunch here at noon."
Huang also saw the change in Tang Xueru, and was very happy and agreed without saying a word. As a result, before she could go to the back stove to give instructions, Cui's mother led Tang Xueli into the door quickly. Cui's mother said, "Miss Li in the long house is here."
Mrs. Tang waved to her, "Come in! The busiest time before the New Year was, why did you have time to come?"
However, Huang's heart was secretly irritated and looked at Tang Xueli carefully.
Tang Xueli wore a rice-colored dress with a thin layer of powder on her face, but even so, it was still obvious that she looked haggard and her face was not very good-looking.
Bai Rongxuan also saw the clues and immediately became alert, staring at Tang Xueli for a while.
The long house...will nothing happen?
Tang Xueli respectfully saluted Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Tang. Mrs. Tang said softly, "We are all from her own family, so you don't have to be so polite. Sit down and talk."
Cui's mother poured tea and brought it over. Huang asked, "Are you done at home?"
The New Year was the busiest time for every family, especially the housekeepers in the family. Not only did they have to buy things for the New Year, but they also had to arrange the New Year's Day ceremony prepared by each family, as well as the items for worshiping ancestors on New Year's Eve... After all, it was always a big deal. Even Huang, a mistress who had been busy for more than ten years, sometimes she would lose sight of the other. If Mrs. Tang and Mother Cui had not mentioned a few words from time to time, she would have had trouble, let alone Tang Xueli, an unmarried girl.
Tang Xueli's expression was a little embarrassed, and she smiled, "My father came back early this year, and he had his ideas for many things. He shared a lot of things for me, so I didn't have that much trouble."
Mrs. Tang also heard a hint of clue. Thinking of Xiang's actions before, she calmed down and asked alertly, "Auntie Xiang is all right? Have you sent all the New Year gifts to the Ningbo Xiang family? No matter what, the other end is Xiang's family, so you must not neglect it, so as not to make people feel unhappy."
Tang Xueli replied, "I have sent it a long time ago, and it is the first one to deliver it."
I didn't seem to want to talk about it much until the topic was discussed.
Mrs. Tang knew that she was worried, and she was afraid that something would not be easy to say in front of Bai Rongxuan and Tang Xueru. She immediately said, "It is rare that Sister Li came to the house and left after lunch. Rongxuan, you and Sister Ru went to Houzhao to inform me. Sister Li liked to eat water shield soup, so let the Ma Ma of Houzhao arrange a dish. If the food at home is not enough, let Yan go out and buy it quickly."
Bai Rongxuan guessed that Mrs. Tang’s intention was to help her and Tang Xueru so that she could leave a place for Tang Xueli to talk. She smiled and nodded, "Okay, what else Sister Li wants to eat, why don’t you tell me together."
Seeing this, Mrs. Tang became even more satisfied with her considerateness and sensibility. She kept nodding in her heart, and she became even more reluctant to marry her to such a complicated place in Shanghai.
Tang Xueli hurriedly said, "I don't have anything to eat, just let the back stove take a look. Don't worry about it alone. How can I afford it?"
Bai Rongxuan saw that she was worried but wanted to smile, and knew that something must have happened to the eldest house. She deliberately said relaxed words to make Tang Xueli happy, "Oh, Sister Li really doesn't give her face, and she wants to borrow your mouth to eat something good, but you haven't asked for it yet. What should we do?"
Tang Xueli was stunned and then laughed after realizing it.
Mrs. Tang, Bai Rongxuan, was so understanding, and her eyes became even more kind. "This child, can you eat and drink if your family is short? If you have anything you want to eat, just tell the back stove. If they refuse to make it, you will say I want to eat."
Everyone in the room laughed.
Tang didn't hear the twists and turns inside, and looked at her daughter in surprise, not understanding why she suddenly became more and more said today.
Huang was a very thoughtful person and smiled and said, "Your grandmother's signature is the most useful at home. As long as you take it out, no one dares to ignore it. Just take it out and use it. Even if you want to eat the dragon meat from the sky, the horse lady in the back stove will try every means to make it for you."
"Then there is no need." Bai Rongxuan said, "I'll ask if there are any fresh river shrimps. I want to eat white-burned shrimp!"
"This is good!" Tang Xueru nodded in agreement, "This is much better than dragon meat, and it is not difficult for anyone to do anything."
The two of them said goodbye to Mrs. Tang and walked out holding hands.
There were no people in the room that were funny, and the atmosphere suddenly became quiet. Seeing this, Madam Li and Mama Cui hurriedly stepped forward to add tea, while Mrs. Huang looked at Mrs. Tang.
Mrs. Tang signaled to her slightly, and then Huang asked, "What's the important thing about Sister Li coming today?"
Tang Xueli shook her head instinctively, but then lowered her head and began to ponder. After a while, she hesitated and said, "It's nothing, it's just that it's the end of the year. Come and see if there is anything at home that I can help."
At this moment, even Tang, who was half a beat slower to do anything, could hear something strange.
The Tang family and the second wife always live their own lives. Although they are both surnamed Tang, they do not interfere with each other's interests and family arrangements. Tang Xueli is a sensible child. After Zhang passed away, she helped her father with housework. She was a very competent and caring little cotton jacket. On such a busy day at the end of the year, if she didn't help her father take care of her at home, why did she go to the second wife to help?
Tang looked at her with a look of surprise.
Mrs. Tang smiled gently and said, "It's hard for you, a child, to be kind, but your aunt is a capable person and can still be busy with family affairs. Come and talk to me, even if you have fulfilled the filial piety of the younger generation, you don't have to do anything else."
Tang Xueli nodded awkwardly.
When Mrs. Tang saw her look of wanting to speak but stopping, she wondered if she had something to say to herself?
She raised her head and winked at Huang.
Huang's ears and eyes were clear, and immediately stood up knowingly and said, "Look at my memory. I just said I would go and explain to Manager Yan to the New Year gifts to several neighbors around me. As soon as I sat down, I forgot it. Manager Yan is old and the things he wants to give are more complicated, and each one is the same. I am afraid that he will make a mistake, so I have to go over and explain to him."
Mrs. Tang took advantage of the situation and said, "The New Year's Day is a big event, you can go quickly." She said, "Let A Shu go and give you some help, so that you won't work hard alone, these days will be a big deal."
Tang also saw some clues, heard the sound and stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go and help my sister-in-law."
Huang took her hand and said, "No matter how good it is, there will be nothing."
Seeing this, Cui's mother hurriedly walked forward cleverly, "There is no reason to let the aunt work hard, I'll go over and take a look."
The three of them went out talking and laughing.
Only Mrs. Tang, Tang Xueli and Madam Li were left in the house.
