Allure of a Country Maiden

Early the next morning, there was thick snow.

Every household in the village has someone climbing on the roof to clear snow.

When they opened the door of the room and went out, the snow on the roof of Xiaoer's family had been cleared away.

Xiaoer woke up early and went to the kitchen to bake some pastries for Mrs. Liu to give to people she had good friends with in the village.

The pastries in Liu Jingshu's bakery have become the first choice for many merchants who go to the imperial capital to buy souvenirs for their families and friends. Branches have also opened in many prefectures and counties near the imperial capital, and Shengping County is also planning to open one this year. . It can be said that although her shop's pastries have not yet opened branches across the country, they are already famous throughout the country. That's why Xiaoer woke up early to bake cakes, so that those who had given her family warmth could try this nationally famous cake.

These pastries are not cheap, and even if a branch is opened in Shengping County, people in the village will probably not be willing to buy them to eat.

After the family had breakfast, Mrs. Liu took out the gifts brought back from the imperial capital and prepared to send them to people who had been friendly with her and helped her family in the past. Just like the blessed daughter-in-law, Dashi's daughter-in-law, etc., Mrs. Liu must go to see them, and the great grandfather's family also needs to visit in person. People can't let people think that they have been forgotten after their family became rich.

Mrs. Liu brought back a lot of fabrics. Although they were just fine cotton, the quality was much better than what was sold in the cloth store in Shengping County, and the price was not much more expensive. There are also some exquisite silk flowers and some relatively affordable silver earrings from Polaroid jewelry. Of course, there are also some food that can be preserved.

The eldest brother of Mr. Shen who the family first visited was Shen Renfu's family. After all, he was Shen Chengyao's uncle.

As for the people in the old house, no one mentioned going to the old house to take a look.

Shen Renfu had never agreed with the style of Mr. Shen and the Shen Zhuang family before, so the two families were at odds with each other. The Shen Zhuang family did not allow them to interact too much with the Shen Renfu family. Later, they separated, and the Xiaoer family built a house again. It was time to open up wasteland again and build roads in the village. The eldest cousin Shen Jingfu also came to help, and the two families gradually started to move around, so it was logical and logical to visit first.

Walking into the village, Mrs. Liu found that several families in the village had built new houses.

"The village has also changed a lot. So many people have built new houses." Liu sighed.

"It's all thanks to my mother who took them to make toy parts." Xiaoer said with a smile.

"You girl, do you want to say that it's all your fault?"

"My mother has seen this all!"

Several people laughed after hearing Xiaoer's words.

The people who were clearing snow on the roof couldn't help but rub their eyes when they saw Ms. Liu. It wasn't until Ms. Liu greeted them with a smile that they believed they had seen it right.

Children in rural areas don't have many toys. In summer, they can fish in the river, shoot birds with slingshots, and dig eggs from trees. In winter, they can only have snowball fights and build snowmen.

At this time, many children were already making snowmen on the village road. Many children no longer remember Xiaoer and the others, and they don't recognize some of them either.

When Mrs. Liu saw them, she gave them a few candies to eat.

These children had never eaten such exquisitely packaged candies, so they quickly ran home with these candies to show to their mothers.

Soon, everyone in the village knew that Liu and the others were back! Mrs. Hou is back!

The family walked and walked outside Shen Renfu's house. Shen Jingfu was cleaning the snow on the roof of the kitchen. Jing Rui saw him with sharp eyes and called out first: "Big brother."

Hearing this familiar voice, Shen Jingfu raised his head and looked over. He was so happy that he almost fell off the roof.

Then he shouted loudly: "Child, open the door quickly, the third sister-in-law is here with several children!"

Ji asked as she opened the door: "Third aunt, that third aunt?"

People generally call women in the village either someone's daughter-in-law, or their aunt according to their male ranking. There are quite a few people in the village who are called third aunts.

"Which third aunt? There is only one third cousin in my family. She is the third aunt of Chengyao's third uncle's family! She is waiting outside the door with Rui'er and the others. Go and open the door!" Shen Jingfu followed the instructions. He said as he climbed down the ladder.

After hearing this, Ji quickly ran to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Mrs. Liu smiled and said, "My eldest nephew-in-law."

"House hall sister-in-law." Xiaoer's brothers and sisters also greeted obediently.

"Oh, it's really the third aunt that you guys are back. I thought Jingfu lied to me! Come inside and sit down, it's cold outside." Ji said happily.

Several people walked to the main room together.

Mrs. Liu asked as she walked: "Where are my uncle and aunt? Are they feeling well?"

"It's been cold these past few days, and my two old men's feet are hurting. I'm worried about them falling, so I asked them to lie on the kang and not walk around. Now that they hear some noise, it's probably time to get up."

Indeed, Shen Renfu and Shen Lin got dressed and walked out.

After several people greeted each other, Shen Renfu asked: "Isn't Chengyao back? It's freezing cold, why are you allowed to come back alone with your child?"

These were words of concern for her. Ms. Liu felt heart-warming after hearing these words. She smiled and said: "The child's father has official duties and cannot leave. He is on his way back now. My mother's fiftieth birthday, I will Come back with the kids first."

"Good boy! It's hard for you to have such filial piety. It's so far away and no one will blame you even if you don't come back." Shen Lin heard that Mrs. Liu came back to congratulate her mother-in-law on her birthday and praised her.

Mrs. Liu smiled: "I haven't been back for so many years, and I miss you so much. When I saw an excuse to come back, I didn't care about anything and came back directly."

"You kid!" Shen Lin shook his head and smiled, then looked at Xiaoer's siblings and praised each of them.

"This is Xiao'er and Yun'er. They look so good. I remember it's time to get haircut next year. Have you said we'd like to get married?"

"We are already engaged. Xiao'er is engaged to Mr. Shangguan, and Yun'er is engaged to Brother Ri."

Mr. Shangguan? Shen Lin thought for a while, and a young man in purple clothes and jade trees appeared in his memory. He nodded: "They are all good children."

Now they don't know the true identities of Shangguan Xuanyi and Ri Geer, but when they found out later, they were so shocked that their jaws dropped to the ground.

He kept shouting, but he never expected that the Shen family would also produce two golden phoenixes! This is really the smoke billowing from the ancestral graves!

Shen Renfu looked at little Jingzhe in Liu's arms and asked with a smile: "This is Chengyao's new baby Ding. This child is so good-looking. This is the first time the old man has seen such a good-looking child in his decades of life!" Come, grandpa, give me a hug."

Mrs. Liu gave Xiao Jingzhe to Shen Renfu. The two old men looked at the fat nephew and couldn't bear to blink.

"Come on, it's cold. Let's drink some hot tea first." Ji came in with a tray of tea.
