Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

Mrs. Fan laughed, and her plump white face looked like the Maitreya Buddha sitting in the temple.

"What mother doesn't miss her child? Why should I blame you?" He took a watermelon from the table and gave it to her.

"You should also eat a piece of watermelon to cool down. Looking at your condition, you must have walked too fast on the road. Don't get a heat stroke."

Qiaoer took it obediently, thanked Mrs. Fan, and put the watermelon into Huijie'er's mouth first.

Hui Jie opened her mouth, but she heard Du Wenxiu's urgent voice: "She just ate a little, don't feed her too much, or she will have diarrhea."

Qiao'er hurriedly took the watermelon away again. Seeing that the delicious food that was about to reach her mouth was gone, Huijie's mouth sank and she was about to cry.

Qiao Er hurriedly tried to coax her and negotiated with her, "Just suck it a little, but don't bite it."

He held the watermelon in front of her again, kept it in her mouth for a few breaths, and then took it away. Sister Hui was not satisfied yet, and her mouth pouted as if she was about to cry.

The nanny came forward and took Hui Jie'er, saying that she looked like she was about to fall asleep, and then she carried her to the yard.

Qiao'er then let go of the melon and ate it, and asked Mrs. Fan if she had a smooth journey.

"It went smoothly. Everything went smoothly. I also want to thank Hui Jie'er's aunt for giving me money for my expenses. We set out early on the journey and found an inn to rest early. I didn't have to endure any hardship."

Qiao'er looked at Du Wenxiu in surprise, she didn't even know about this.

"Chengyi is also tight-lipped. He didn't even tell me about such an important matter."

"Why should I tell you to be polite to me again? We are all family, there is no need to act like this."

Du Wenxiu smiled and said, and he and Mrs. Fan had another lively conversation, and then the matter was settled.

"It's only been a few days since I bought this yard. There are few people in my family, so we move slowly. I don't know when my wife will arrive."

"In order not to delay things, I have specially invited people to come and clean up. However, other people are not as careful as our own family members. If there is anything that I have not done, please forgive me, Madam-in-law."

Du Wenxiu said to Mrs. Fan again.

She asked Zhang Yapo to help find someone to clean up the courtyard next door. She didn't expect Fan Zhao's family to come so soon. They just cleaned up the place without going to take a look.

"Oh, it's true. I've asked you to spend money again. We knew that we were short of people at home, but we brought quite a few people with us. When they came, everyone moved around and put it away."

Mrs. Fan has been living in the Fan family for some time without any money, and now she has learned to be thrifty with money.

Du Wenxiu smiled and said, "It's summer, and everyone is tired after coming here. If we start harvesting now, it will probably take some time to recover. It's better to move in right away."

Mrs. Fan thanked her again and again, and told her that she had entrusted the house to her wet nurse and her family, and had brought everyone else with her.

"We brought nine male servants, ten female servants, three maids, and a wet nurse. Six of the male servants were borrowed, and we will let them go when we find new servants."

Du Wenxiu couldn't help but feel happy when he heard that so many people were brought here.

With Fan Zhao at home, I don't have to worry about anything at home in the future.

Although he paid for a house, in exchange he got to live next to Qiao'er. I think Lu Fanghai would have nothing to say when he came back.

He told Mrs. Fan about his idea. From now on, the two families would live separately, but they must work together on security work.

Male servants and guards were all paid for by Du Wenxiu, but Qiao'er's salary alone was enough to cover the expenses of the Fan family.

With a little help from my family, I will have a worry-free life.

She spoke cleverly, and Mrs. Fan felt comfortable listening to her, praising her all the time.

Another He Ye came over and asked, saying that the master asked if the mistress had rested well. If she had, she might have to take people to assign tasks to each room.

The melons were eaten and the tea was drunk. To avoid being impolite, the Fan family had lunch in the restaurant at noon. Now all they needed to do was take a nap.

Erlang also took this opportunity to go out, and Du Wenxiu called Qi Sanniang to take him to the front yard for a nap.

Mrs. Fan stood up and apologized, saying that she would go and clean up first. Du Wenxiu then told her that they would have dinner here in the evening to welcome them.

Since she had just arrived, she had to show hospitality to others, so Mrs. Fan agreed generously. Du Wenxiu then sent her to the small door in the wall between the two courtyards before returning.

When he saw He Ye, he remembered her status as a concubine and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Now that the parents-in-law are here, if they love their son and intend to make the fake play real and ask Fan Chengyi to take He Ye as his concubine, how should I make the decision for Qiao'er?

After thinking for a long time, I couldn't come up with a solution, so I had to make up my mind to counter the opponent's move and take the time to ask Qiao'er about the situation.

But seeing how happy she was when she saw the child, I was afraid she wouldn't think of coming here for a while.

While he was thinking about it, Qiuyue came back and said that Master Zou had come. Du Wenxiu then exclaimed, "Oh no!" He realized that with so many people coming to his house, he had actually forgotten to buy vegetables.

Luo also remembered at this time and hurriedly said, "You and Master Zou should prepare the things at home first. If you want to buy something, just tell me and I will go buy it."

Du Wenxiu originally wanted to go out and buy it himself, see what was available on the market and then decide what to do, but now it seemed too late.

"Auntie, just buy whatever is on the market that we usually eat at home. I'll soak the black fungus and vermicelli with Master Zou first, and prepare the side dishes. Auntie, go and get Qiuyue, come back quickly."

Ah Luo left in response, and Du Wenxiu called out from behind, "Aunt, don't forget to go to the restaurant and get a few more dishes. There are many people at home today."

When he came out and saw Master Zou, he smiled and said, "Do you remember what I learned from Master Zou yesterday?"

"I only remember it roughly. The pork elbow was never tasty enough no matter how many times I made it. I don't know where I went wrong." Master Zou smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"No hurry, no hurry, let's try again today. There are many people today, so we can take this opportunity to make two more dishes."

As she spoke, she put on the apron that Qi Sanniang had just made for her, asked Master Zou to soak the fungus and vermicelli, and went to the backyard to pick vegetables.

Now it is midsummer, and her family grows a lot of vegetables. A Luo takes care of them frequently. Soon, he has picked a basket of loofah, pumpkin and eggplant.

She put the child under a tree in the yard and picked vegetables with Qi Yi Niang while watching the child.

After a while, another little head popped in. Du Wenxiu saw it and waved with a smile:

"I was waiting for you to come and help me, but you just arrived now."

It turned out that it was Cheng Xiaomei who arrived. She said with a smile, "I was just about to go out when a patient came in. My mother couldn't take care of him alone, so she asked me to help for a while before coming here."

"We have guests at home today, and there are many people eating. I'm afraid you will be tired." Du Wenxiu said with a smile.

"I'm not afraid of being tired. Mom said that if you can learn skills through hardship and fatigue, then it's worth it."

Qi Sanniang looked at Cheng Xiaomei with a smile, and couldn't help feeling sour in her heart. If she had the same ability as Cheng Suying back then, would she have needed to be separated from her daughter?

But it was useless to think about it. She did not have the ability of Cheng Suying, and she was a concubine bought by someone else. She could not protect Du Wenxiu no matter what.
