Chapter 535: Why is it different from what I imagined?
When Xiao Laifu ran into the stationery factory canteen to inform Yin Le, the Mo family's ox cart drove into Liujia Village.
The people in the village were either busy in the factory or doing farm work in the fields. In addition, there have been a lot of outsiders this year, so few people noticed the arrival of the Mo family.
The ox cart passed by the Liu family's old house. Mr. Mo said that there was no need to go in. The two families had already separated, so they could go directly to Liu Ji's house.
Recalling the brief meeting with Qin Yao the last time they came to Liujiacun, Mrs. Mo and Sister-in-law Mo looked at each other, and they both saw the uneasiness in each other's eyes.
Mr. Mo was not in good health last time and did not come. He only heard a few people scolding Liu Ji after returning home. He was an ungrateful white-eyed wolf. He had long forgotten his dead wife and only remembered his new love.
Even before I met Qin Yao, I had already labeled her as charming in my heart.
Seeing his son parked by the bridge with a riding crop, his face darkened, and he looked a bit like the head of the family. He shook his head and said, "Let's go!"
With his father's support, Brother Mo felt a little more confident. With a flick of his whip, he urged the borrowed ox cart to go up the bridge and arrive in front of the small courtyard with green tiles and white walls on the other side of the river.
The houses in their village are either made of earth or mud, and there is not a single yard with green tiles and white walls.
At first sight of such a small courtyard, which can be called a majestic one, the Mo family felt envious and jealous.
Looking down at the coarse linen clothes, broken straw sandals, and a pair of dark, rough hands that the others were wearing, I felt a little resentful.
The girls of the Mo family sacrificed their lives for this family. As a result, my uncle lived a good life without thinking about his parents-in-law and uncle at all. It is really hateful!
Sister-in-law Mo put the child down first, then jumped out of the cart and helped her parents-in-law down.
Brother Mo parked the oxcart casually at the gate. After getting the look from his parents, he strode forward and prepared to knock on the thick wooden door in front of him.
I was still embarrassed. At this moment, I saw such a wealthy courtyard in Liu Ji's family, leaving only anger.
Brother Mo raised his hand and was about to hit the door with his fist.
Unexpectedly, the door opened first.
Ms. Li stood in front of the door with a smile and asked, "Is this my uncle's in-laws? Madam has received the news in advance and specially ordered me to prepare hot tea at home for the old man and his wife."
It is said that you should not hit someone with a smiling face, so Brother Mo lowered his raised fist somewhat helplessly, nodded and replied: "Yes, I am his uncle, those are his aunt, cousin Bao'er, and grandpa and grandma. "
“Who are you?” Brother Mo asked Mr. Li.
Mrs. Li first bowed to her two elders and then said, "I am the cook at home."
As he said that, he turned sideways and invited a few people to come in. He also said, "It's been a hard journey for the old man and the old lady. I have prepared the meal according to the lady's instructions. Uncle, you can go to the table and eat first."
The Mo family looked at each other, why is this different from what they imagined?
Being treated so politely, Mr. Mo’s sullen face became a little tense and he asked Qin Yao where he was.
Ms. Li led everyone to the backyard. She had already followed the madam's instructions, opened the eldest master's study, and put hot tea and snacks in it.
"Madam has been overly surprised these past two days. It rained last night and she accidentally caught the wind and cold. It would have spread to the old man and the old lady, so they will not come to see the guests."
With that said, he told the Mo family to take a rest in the study when they were tired, then went to bring the food, turned around and left.
Seeing Mrs. Li walking away, the Mo family couldn't hold it in any longer and wandered around the house, touching and looking here and there.
Liu Jiai ruined his study room. The furnishings in the room were all good things he bought from the county. They were not very valuable, but mainly because they were unique.
The Mo family has never seen these pens, inks, paper and inkstones, treasure vases, stone carvings, and bonsai stands. They only think that this is probably the case in the homes of the richest people. The adults looked everywhere, leaving Bao'er sitting alone on Liu Ji's favorite peony table, nibbling fragrant snacks. The dregs of the snacks fell all over the tablecloth.
After finishing the snack, his mouth was dry. Baoer stepped on the stool with his shoes on and reached for the teapot and cup in the middle of the table.
The teacups are small, with an orchid drawn on them. They were plums, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums specially gathered by Liu Ji. There are four teacups in a set. He secretly spent a long time with his private money to get this set together.
I keep it in my room on weekdays. I only use it to pour tea for the teacher and my junior brother.
If the four Dalang brothers and sisters were to come close, his hair would explode.
At this time, Bao'er held the orchid cup in his hand, preparing to pour himself tea.
Unexpectedly, the teapot was a little heavy and I couldn't control the force. All the tea was poured out and spilled all over the tablecloth. The child stood on the stool and was so frightened that he couldn't stand still. He and the teacup and teapot fell down together.
“Mother!”
Bao'er's exclamation, along with the sound of shattering porcelain pieces, reached the ears of the Mo family.
Sister-in-law Mo, who was still in love with the soft tent in Liu Ji's room, suddenly became excited and rushed out of the room.
Seeing her son fall to the ground, the teapot shattered, and the tea spilled all over the floor, Sister-in-law Mo choked for breath, yelled and picked up her little son quickly, anxious and angry, and asked angrily:
"What are you doing! Why did you fall down!"
The frightened Baoer burst into tears when his mother attacked him.
The old people arrived, pulled Sister Mo away, put her in their arms and coaxed her "Baoer Baoer". They heard that the child said that she fell while trying to pour tea, and even stepped on the broken porcelain pieces on the ground. "I caused my baby to fall and trample you to death!"
Baoer gradually stopped crying and let go of the orchid tea cup in his hand, "Grandma, I'm thirsty."
Mrs. Mo took the small tea cup with some disgust, came to the door and shouted: "Here, bring back another pot of tea!"
Before the words could even be finished, Li had already arrived.
She heard the crackling noise in the backyard and was so frightened that she ran over to check. She was relieved to see Mrs. Mo holding an orchid cup in her hand.
If this is broken, the eldest man will come back and tear his old Yue family into pieces.
Afraid of another accident, Mrs. Li warned: "Everything in this house was specially found by the master, and he cherishes it the most. If it is damaged, the master will probably lose his temper when he comes back. I think you all know the temper of my eldest master." Yes, please don’t touch the master’s belongings.”
With that said, before Mrs. Mo could feel humiliated and get angry, Mrs. Li immediately sent a new tea set, saying that she had not prepared it just now and it was all her fault, which made it difficult for the Mo family to say anything.
Sister-in-law Mo calmed down a little and quickly said that she understood.
Waiting for Mrs. Li to clean up the ground and leave, Sister-in-law Mo explained under the angry eyes of her parents-in-law:
“Brother-in-law is not the **** he used to be. He is now a master of civil engineering. If we damage his belongings, it would be bad if he comes back and gets angry at us.”
The second elder suddenly realized that it made sense. He quickly put this set of precious little tea cups on a high shelf and seriously told Bao'er not to mess with it, otherwise his uncle would not give him good things later.
Baoer blinked innocently, pointed at Mrs. Li who was bringing the food and shouted excitedly: "Meat!"
