A group of soldiers below rubbed their eyes. How long has it been? It seems that they took a few mouthfuls of saliva.

One, two, three... seven!

That's right, the one who was lying under the ring, eh, eh, yelling, wasn't their leader.

"Gudong—"

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

Su Aobai showed his signature smile to the soldiers in the audience, as kind and honest as ever.

QAQ is so scary, this is the smile of Hades, a group of weak and pitiful soldiers who just want to cuddle and hug each other and draw strength from their companions.

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

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

This sentence is really not an exaggeration at all, it is simply unrivaled supernatural power, he has found a treasure!

As for the second half of the sentence, he still didn't believe it, it's still the same saying, big chest and no brains.

This boy's pectoral muscles are bigger than when his mother was breastfeeding, how could he grow a brain/

"Mrs. Lin, are the meeting gifts we prepared suitable?"

On the other side, Erniang and Mrs. Lin were preparing some gifts in return.

Originally, I planned to visit a few neighbors the next day after I settled down, but who knew that some neighbors who lived nearer came over with food first at noon today. Send the gift over.

It's not worth anything, just some dried mushrooms and some pickled vegetables they brought from their hometown. The taste of the food in the south is different from that in the local area, but it also has a special flavor.

Mrs. Lin let Erniang make up her own mind, and only when Erniang did something wrong, she would carefully remind her from the sidelines.

However, in her opinion, this little master of hers handles things very well. Although she was just an ordinary country girl before, she is neither arrogant nor impatient. She is not only careful in doing things, but also humbly accepts some of her suggestions. So much better.

"That's enough. The three families who came to visit at noon today live closer to ours. We can add an extra serving of dried fungus. The other families can all give gifts according to this standard."

Mrs. Lin just added some to the three visiting gifts, which is called reciprocity.

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

Erniang also remembered what the annoying woman said at noon.

Her father had already decided not to remarry, and in this case, her rules must not be wrong, otherwise, people would think that she was so uneducated because she had no mother.

Because of her childhood experience, Erniang's mind is a little sensitive. She prefers to hide many things in her heart and think about them slowly, and she is unwilling to say them out. Even now that she and her father have become close, she still retains this problem.

Erniang didn't like Xu Wang's family, but etiquette was undeniable, and she watched in silence as Nanny Lin made three of the gifts a little heavier.

Because she hated Xu Wang's family the most, Erniang chose to visit the Xu family first, so that she could use the reason that there were several other families that needed to visit to leave quickly.

Before leaving, Erniang learned some information about these neighbors from Mrs. Lin.

For example, Mrs. Xu, who lives next door, is Centurion Xu’s natal cousin. The two got married in their hometown. When she was pregnant with her first daughter, Centurion Xu joined the army. Three years passed between them. For the sake of her children, she Only then did he bring his eldest daughter all the way to Lin'an, and later gave birth to four daughters and a son.

Xu Wangshi regards the son she finally gave birth to as a treasure. The first five children, except for the eldest daughter, are no different from maidservants. At home, Xu Wangshi is the empress dowager, who does not do any work. Let go of the shopkeeper.

When she saw Erniang coming to the door with a gift in return, Xu Wangshi's smile was indescribably brighter. At this time, she also forgot the unpleasantness at noon.

She knew that those exquisite people who could afford servants would get some more expensive gifts after accepting half a plate of pickles from her. The fungus is quite satisfied.

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

Xu Wangshi gathered the fungus fungus again, and then walked quickly to her room with small steps, preparing to lock these things in the cabinet in her room, so as to prevent a few girls in the family from spoiling these good things while she was away.

She didn't think it was impolite to leave the guests in the main room like this, and she casually arranged for the youngest girl to pour tea for Erniang, and then disappeared, making Erniang sit dry, which was quite embarrassing.

She could only carefully look at the Xu family's daughters.

Daya and Erya were not at home, while Sanya and Siya were starching and washing clothes in the yard. This was a job Xu Wang took over from several nearby alleys. A bucket of clothes could earn five Wen. A girl has to wash more than a dozen buckets of dirty clothes every day, regardless of the cold or heat.

When Wuya brought the hot tea, Erniang saw that her fingers were extraordinarily thick due to years of soaking in water and washing clothes, and several knuckles were even deformed.

After bringing the tea, Wu Ya went back to the yard in silence, and washed the clothes with her two older sisters.

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

In fact, according to the centurion's monthly silver, not to mention how rich the family will be, but it will also allow the family to eat and clothe themselves warmly.

It is normal to have more children these days, and there are still more children in the countryside, who live on some grain rented from landowners. The monthly silver of a centurion far exceeds the income of such people.

But even when she was able to eat enough, Mrs. Xu asked her daughters to take over a lot of laundry work, which is enough to show her harshness as a mother.

No, it's just her harshness to her daughter.

In this alley, only Mrs. Xu Wang, the centurion, let her daughter do this kind of work. Under the same family conditions, the girls of the Xu family had to help the daughters of other families to wash clothes, which made them How can I hold my head up when I play on weekdays?

"Wow-"

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

The moment the crying sounded, the faces of the three girls in the yard suddenly changed. They were no longer just numb, but more nervous and distressed.

"Why is Xiaobao crying!"

"Xiao Bao is okay!"

The three sisters wiped their wet hands with the hem of their clothes, and surrounded the little boy who was crying and walking into the house.

The little boy was about three or four years old, and he was extremely fat, like a meatball. This kind of obesity was not just the cute baby fat of a child, but the flesh all over his body, which was so swollen that he could hardly see his eyes. up.

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

Mrs. Xu Wang in the bedroom also heard the movement, rushed out of the bedroom in a hurry, ran to her precious son in three or two steps, and then pulled away the few girls who were coaxing her brother with nice words, and did not With a little effort, the three little girls were pushed by their mothers and sat down on the ground.

"What's the matter, mother's little treasure is being bullied by someone, mother is looking for him, is there any law to bully such an older child."

Xu Wang exploded all of a sudden, struggling to pick up his fat son and prepared to go outside.

"Don't play with me, don't play with me, mother beat them!"

Little Pangdun was crying and fussing, and after a few crying words, 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 she heard that her son hadn't been beaten or scolded, Xu Wang's anger subsided a little, but she still hated those brats in the alley. Her little treasure is so good, why didn't she bring her Little Treasure is playing.

"Three ya, four ya, hurry up and get your brother steamed egg custard, and make a bowl of rice paste."

After speaking, he looked at his precious son again.

"Let's eat egg custard and rice paste. After eating, mother will go to them and ask them to play with you in the future."

Seeing this, Er Niang's expression was already very cold, isn't this just another blessing. And compared with this arrogant little fat man, Fu Bao became less hateful.

She was about to resign, but Mrs. Lin held her shoulders and shook her head slightly. Mrs. Xu Wang is a small-minded person. At this time, it is best for her, a mother-in-law, to resign.

"You are busy, your family is the first neighbor we visit, and I will take my lady to visit several other families."

Xu Wang was very unhappy when he was interrupted while coaxing his son, but after hearing that he was the first family they visited, Xu Wang felt a little proud.

It just so happened that she was going to give her son egg custard and rice porridge. Who knows if the girl next door would be greedy for such good things, so she asked her for a bite.

She was stingy if she didn't give it when the time came, but if she gave it, her son would have to eat less.

Xu Wang swallowed his calculations, squeezed out a smiling face, exchanged a few words of pleasantries, and watched them leave.

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

"It is better to offend a gentleman than to offend a villain. Unless you are prepared to completely tear yourself apart with a villain, otherwise, you still have to pay attention to some skills when talking to them."

Seeing that Erniang was thinking, she added another sentence.

"Most of the concubines of the centurion's family living in this area are relatively straightforward. When the master is promoted and the young lady wants to meet, the wives will be different. They speak nicely, but those people You can't just listen to the surface. The same sentence is sometimes true and sometimes false, and sometimes half-truth. When you speak, miss, you have to pay attention to your words... But it doesn't matter, miss is smart, we can read slowly and learn slowly .”

Mrs. Lin thought to herself, as the master is gradually promoted, the young lady can also learn slowly, and now she is not in a hurry to teach the young lady too much. There is no suitable battlefield, and instead, she has learned a lot of tactics, which is neither fish nor fowl.

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

How do you feel...wives from wealthy families seem to be very tired? There are so many ways to talk.

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

The current head of the Xu family is an old lady. Mrs. Lin found out that this old lady Xu came here half a year ago. At that time, Xu Dazhu had just been promoted to a centurion not long ago. When the old lady came, she brought her widowed eldest son with her. The daughter-in-law and the two children born to the eldest daughter-in-law seem to be ready to take root here.

As for Xu Dazhu's mother-in-law, she has been living with her mother-in-law in her hometown in the early years. The couple only get together for a few days throughout the year. His sister-in-law looked at it.

Counting the time, Xu Dazhu's daughter-in-law has passed away for a full year, and it is estimated that Mrs. Xu will soon meet a new daughter-in-law for her son.

Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Xu seemed to be easy-going people, but they didn't talk much. Er Niang put down the presents, returned the dishes, exchanged a few words and went to the next house.

Both the first and the last family to visit are particular. Su Erniang has a good impression of Yang Liu's family, so she made the Yang family the last one to visit.

"Who are you looking for?"

After walking around, Erniang's legs became sore and her face became stiff from laughing. When she knocked on the door of Yang's house, she couldn't help rubbing her cheeks with her hands to soothe the muscles on her cheeks.

But she didn't expect the door opener to be so fast. Before she could put down her hand, the door was opened, and a little boy who was a head and a half taller than her got a head out of the door.

If it wasn't daytime, Erniang felt that she might not be able to see his head. There is such a dark person in the world, the whites of the eyes and the teeth are whitened and shiny.

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

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

Yang Qiwu jumped three feet high, turned around and was about to run into the house to inform his mother, but suddenly realized that he hadn't fully opened the door, only opened a small crack, so he came back half way and opened the door.

"Come in with me!"

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

During lunch, Yang Qiwu began to listen to his mother talking about how good-natured and beautiful the sister next door was. If she had given them a younger sister back then, she would definitely be as attractive as the little girl in that family.

Yang Qiwu scoffed at his mother's remarks. His 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 born. Besides, their temperament, the seven brothers of their family One is counted as the other, which one is not the devil of the world, if he really gave birth to a younger sister, his mother should worry about how to marry this girl.

As for his mother's evaluation of the little sister next door, Yang Qiwu didn't take it very seriously. Anyway, his mother thought it was rare to see girls from any family. Even the extremely annoying girls of Xu's family were always at home. Said they were poor.

Yang Qiwu curled his lips, and when he ran to the second courtyard, he couldn't help turning his head to take a look.

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

When Erniang and Mrs. Lin walked to the second courtyard, Liu Yinghua was walking outside holding her youngest son by the ear.

"This kid is really ignorant, how could he leave the guests and run in by himself."

Seeing Erniang staring at her with wide eyes, Liu Yinghua let go of her hand quickly, with a different expression on her face, lovingly blaming her son beside her.

How can the cute little girl see her irritable side? She is a loving, gentle and kind mother. The scene just now was purely accidental.

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

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

"Aunt Yang, these are some earthen instruments that my father and I brought from our hometown. They are not valuable things, so you can accept them."

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

A black charcoal with facial features is really funny.

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

Liu Yinghua put the gifts brought by Erniang on the table beside her, then took her hand affectionately and sat beside her.

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

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

"I have a cousin above me, everyone in my family calls me Erniang."

Su Erniang introduced herself softly.

Liu Yinghua paused when she heard the words. These days, many people don't bother to name their daughters, so they simply refer to them by their rankings. There are so many such names as Da Ya Er Ya, Da Niang Er Niang, and Da Ni Er Ni.

Because a girl's name is a private thing, that is, when you are not married, your natal relatives will call it out. After you are married, people outside will call your husband's surname more often.

For example, Liu Yinghua, outside, people often call her Yang Liushi, or the daughter-in-law of the Yang family. After a hundred years, only the imprint of Yang Liushi will be left on her tombstone.

But people who pay more attention to their daughters will still give them a normal name, even if this name has only been called for a few years, maybe only her husband will mention it in the future.

Er Niang...

She obviously felt that the new centurion cherished this girl very much. Could it be that a man's mind is really so rough that he can't pay attention to such details?

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

The biological mother died young, and although the biological father loved her, he was careless. She must have suffered a lot of grievances and hardships in these years.

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

She touched Erniang's small hand again, and the woman who served her would teach her some things about her daughter's house, but after all, there are two generations behind, can the grandma's and mother's be the same? Liu Yinghua thinks this girl is suitable. Her eyesight, if it wasn't for fear of frightening this girl by being too close as soon as she came up, she would have said that she could just recognize her and be her daughter.

Just as she was talking, Liu Yinghua suddenly glared at her youngest son.

They were whispering about girls' homes, what was he doing here as a man, and he didn't even look at him.

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

He should be outside the house, not in the house. It turned out that he was the one who was 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 make a face at his mother. At this time, Liu Yinghua lowered her head and looked at Erniang's cute little face in surprise, and Erniang was just because of being raped. Looking a little shy, he turned his head and looked outside the house.

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

"puff-"

The little girl couldn't help laughing out loud, and quickly covered her mouth.

Yang Qiwu's face turned red all of a sudden, but he was dark, no matter how red he was, he couldn't tell.

Seeing Erniang's smiling eyebrows and crooked eyes, Yang Qiwu turned around like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and ran away without a trace.
