Chapter 9551: Putting gold on your face
On the way up the mountain, there was a huge team of men, women, old and young, and it was very lively.
Cao Bamei and Xiuhong's mother and daughter were also among them. The mother and daughter brought dry food, water, hatchets, shoulder poles, straw ropes and so on.
In addition, the three boys were also sent to the old house by Cao Bamei early in the morning and handed over to the Jin family to take care of them.
Because she had to bring her second daughter with her embroidery, so that the two of them could have a helper.
"Second sister-in-law, why are you two alone? Didn't Xiaowei and Xiuxiu come to help?"
Zhao Liu'er and Yang Yongzhi were also in the team. The couple came to open the mountain and sent their daughter to a Taoist temple. Uncle Zhao Damao is temporarily taking care of him.
Seeing that they were a couple, Cao Bamei smiled and said, "How can Xiu Xiu be allowed to come to these places under her circumstances? Then she definitely won't be able to come!"
"As for Xiaowei..." Cao Bamei's tone paused for a moment, "Xiaowei must stay at home to take care of Xiuxiu."
Yang Yongzhi is a straight man, and he must say what he thinks.
He glanced in the direction of Lijiacun and said, "It's only a short month now, and we're not giving birth to a baby, so what else can we take care of? What's more, we have a mother-in-law and a sister-in-law at home. As a grown man, he can definitely take care of himself." I came to help open the mountain..."
Before she finished speaking, Cao Bamei pinched her waist gently from behind.
Yang Yongzhi was stunned for a moment and turned around to find Cao Bamei winking at him.
Yang Yongzhi shut up, but it was hard to take back what he just said.
Cao Bamei’s smile was a little awkward, but her words remained calm.
"Well, they came back to give gifts during the Mid-Autumn Festival a few days ago. Xiaowei told me a lot,"
"Be sure to let us know in advance when we are going to open the mountain, so that we can come and help."< br>
“I was stopped at that time, and I said, how can I help? There is still a pile of firewood in the firewood shed at home that has not been burned out!”
“ When the time comes to open the mountain, Xiuhong and I will follow everyone into the mountain and bring back a load of canes and branches to suit the occasion. Our family is not short of firewood."
"Ten thousand steps back. Talk about it, even if there is really no firewood, as long as you have money on hand, are you still worried about not being able to buy firewood? Then the Luo family never comes to Kaishan. When have they ever been short of firewood? "
Cao Bamei's chattering made Yang Yongzhi and Zhao Liuer stunned.
Yang Yongzhi murmured in his mind that the second sister-in-law, who usually didn't show much publicity, was talking a lot now. He just said a few words, and her chat box opened up.
Every word he said was either to defend Li Wei and Xiu Xiu, or to put money on his face, as if no one could afford firewood.
He and Liu'er went up the mountain to cut firewood. It was not that they couldn't afford firewood, but that they had free firewood and wanted to get more to go back and store...
Next to him, Zhao Liu'er smiled and echoed Cao Bamei's words: "Second sister-in-law is right. If you have money in your hand, let alone firewood, what can't you buy?"
Cao Bamei nodded, "So, I told Xiaoweina at that time, I said you must not come to Kaishan. You can take good care of Xiuxiu at home. It is a great help and you have done one of the most important things." ! ”
Zhao Liuer Smiling with crooked eyebrows, she nodded again, "Yes, yes, Second Sister-in-law is so right. Whatever is most important, you must have a sense of proportion. The most important thing right now is Xiuxiu's mother and son!"
Cao Bamei is very satisfied with Zhao Liuer's performance.
But Yang Yongzhi didn’t want to continue listening to Cao Bamei’s self-evident words, so he said to Zhao Liu’er: “I’ll go ahead to discuss something with my third uncle and fourth uncle.”
Zhao Liu’er said: "I'll go with you, so we don't get separated later in the mountains." Yang Yongzhi nodded, not bothering to greet Cao Bamei, and headed to the front of the team.
Zhao Liuer said hello to Cao Bamei and chased Yang Yongzhi.
When Yang Yongzhi and Zhao Liuer were gone, Cao Bamei stroked her heart and breathed a sigh of relief.
Next to her, the second daughter Xiuhong tilted her head and looked at Cao Bamei in surprise, "Mom, you clearly didn't say those words to the eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Why did you tell the third uncle before? The third aunt is making up nonsense?”
Cao Bamei raised her hand to cover the second daughter’s mouth, but the second daughter turned her face away.
Not only that, she also glared at her mother angrily, "Mom, what are you doing? You used your hand to blow my brother's nose when you went out. You didn't wash it all the way. Then you touch my mouth again. I'm dead!"
The second girl spat on the ground a few times as she spoke, with a look of disgust on her face.
Cao Bamei rolled her eyes in anger, changed her hand and gently poked the other person's head.
"You little girl, how old are you now that you dislike me, my mother? I raised you in vain!"
Xiu Hong shook her eyebrows.
Cao Bamei retracted her hand, dragged the two girls up the mountain, and said in a low voice: "I told your uncle and aunt earlier that it was my mother who wanted to save face."
"Don't expose your mother and me. Is it possible?”
Xiu Hong shook her brows again. , "Don't worry, I'm not a coward!"
Finally, she turned her face to the side and muttered: "You have to suffer to save face!"
Cao Bamei heard the second daughter's words After muttering this, she opened her mouth, wanting to retort.
The words came to my lips but I backed down again. How to argue?
The second daughter is right, she doesn’t just talk so much just to put some money on her face!
I don’t know what happened at that time, but my third brother and sister-in-law just asked casually, and I felt like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and my hair immediately exploded.
It seemed as if the other person was deliberately mocking someone by asking that question. I felt like I couldn't save that face unless I said it perfectly.
That’s why I fabricated a bunch of lies to prop up the scene. In the end, what else can I do if I don’t want to save face and suffer?
Let me admit it honestly: Yes, my son-in-law and others did not come to help this year!
Is it embarrassing to tell the truth?
Is it embarrassing?
After thinking for a moment, Cao Bamei nodded affirmatively, yes, it is embarrassing.
So, I really want to save face and suffer the consequences!
By the way, what happened to Li Wei this year?
Before, Xiuxiu didn’t marry back, and she was very diligent. She would run here almost every day and do whatever work was available.
When chopping firewood, if you don’t want to chop your own firewood, you have to come here first to fill up the woodshed.
Do you really agree with that sentence, don’t let the eagle fly when you don’t see the rabbit?
Now that Xiuxiu is married, the rice is cooked, so you are slacking off?
But the problem is, even if Li Wei slacks off, Xiuxiu should urge him to come over and help, right?
The two villages are so close to each other. It is impossible for the village on the other side not to know about the news that the mountain is being opened here.
Many relatives and friends in the village heard the news, and many came to help.
Continuing to walk up the mountain, Cao Bamei met several village women with whom she usually had good friendships.
Everyone greeted each other, and when they saw Cao Bamei’s mother and daughter, they were all surprised, and then asked: "The eldest son-in-law didn’t come to help?"
