I nodded, "Thank you." I thought, it's not too early, I'm in my twenties, so I'll get married and be done. It's rare that you even made a special trip. ”

"You're so good with me before, of course you're going to have to make a trip. She was wearing a floral cotton jacket and red silk on her head, because she had gained a lot of weight because she had given birth, but her complexion was really not very good, and she didn't look energetic at all. The child was even more small and dark and had no spirit at all, she said a lot of polite words, a very congratulatory smile, and said the most kind words, but I felt a little strange. She and I still can't be friends after all.

I said, "Come in, don't freeze, child." ”

"Good. Lin Xiaoyan hurriedly entered the house with the child in her arms.

After she entered the house, she put the child on the kang first, and then beat her shoulders and arms, and said to me embarrassedly: "I'm really tired, I didn't work in the field long after I gave birth, and now I'm a little tired, and my whole body hurts, and my bones hurt." ”

I quickly said, "That's not going to work." What should I do if I have a disease at a young age, so let's find a doctor to take a good look?"

"No need. She smiled bitterly: "My mother is also the same problem, she told me that it is enough to sleep on the hot kang more." I don't think it's a big deal. ”

I frowned and looked at her, how is this not a big deal? It's not good for the body! But Lin Xiaoyan doesn't care, and I can't say anything. I thought about how she had been burying me before, and I didn't want to mind her business.

I took out the melon seeds and sugar cubes for her to eat, and she didn't shirk it, and ate it hard, probably because she didn't eat much during the Chinese New Year, and I brought her some noodles and small fried fish for her to eat.

Lin Xiaoyan ate a lot, and it seemed quite embarrassing, so I said, "It's okay, I'll pour you some tea." ”

After drinking the tea I poured, she spoke to me: "Actually, I said some bad things before, in fact, I was jealous of you, so I said it." The main thing is that those people say that you are better than me, and the person I married is not good, so I can't get by with a little face, and I say it a little ugly, I hope you don't mind me, I was also confused at the time. Xiu'er, can you accept my apology? I really know that I was wrong, and I hope you will forgive me. As she spoke, she went and took my hand.

"It's okay, but I really don't like people talking about me behind my back, everyone was raised by my parents, and I didn't do anything to kill people and set fires after all, as for targeting me like this? I treat you as my friend, and I feel sad that you treat me like this. Don't do that again. "Of course I'm going to show my dissatisfaction.

She quickly said, "I'll never do it again, I'm really sorry." I mean, my man also said that I am here, you are my only friend, or from the city, how can I do this! Even for the sake of my child's future, I can't make you so angry...... Alas, you see what I'm talking about. She slapped herself in the mouth, her expression a little embarrassed.

I looked at Lin Xiaoyan, she came here to set up close, is it really because she wants to redeem our friendship, or because she knows that the person I married is a city man with good conditions, so she wants what benefits she can have in the future to redeem me?

To be honest, I didn't doubt her friendship with me before, but now I can't believe it. She is also the kind of woman who is very utilitarian, alas, it is really helpless.

She grabbed me and said a lot of good things, all of which were how I had helped her before, I was grateful, I smiled and nodded, but I didn't answer, what do you mean, I hope I will continue to be good to you like before?

She said: "You're getting married, I'm really happy for you, in fact, I don't have anything for you, this is a congratulatory gift for you." He gave me a handkerchief, and I don't know what it was.

I took it and opened it, and there were a lot of stones rolling out of it, all of which were scattered on the kang, and I was startled, but she quickly put them away and gathered them together: "Alas! I can't lose this, I took a lot of effort to ask for it!"

"What is this?" I looked like it was a common stone in the field, the shape was very ordinary, but the color was a little light, with a little pattern, I don't know what it is.

She told me, a little mysteriously, "You're going to put all these stones under your pillow." Then you can let your husband listen to you all the time and not beat and scold you, it's very smart!"

I frowned, who said this? It's ridiculous, isn't it? Don't beat or scold? Do you still need these things to bless you? Isn't it supposed to be? She continued to tell me that this was calculated by the fortune teller her mother-in-law recently and spent several dollars to ask for it.

"I didn't believe it at first, but it really works! These days, my husband doesn't talk about me anymore, my mother-in-law doesn't scold me anymore, my life is much better. ”

Are you sure it's because this thing works, or because you're ready to work in the field?

"I'll tell you, if you believe it, if you don't believe it, you won't have it, you'll get married soon, and your conditions with him are a lot worse, so if you want to keep him, you must find a way, otherwise you will follow him into the city to live in the future, if there is something, but no one will help you, keep this stone well, and he won't do anything to you." ”

I think this is ridiculous, but forget it, people are also kind, so I will take it. She was also very relieved to see that I had a stone under my hand, and said to me: "I am from the past, I know what these men are like, and they were very honest before they got married, but after they got married, they were different." You have to be patient, even if you are dissatisfied with his parents, don't say anything, otherwise, he didn't say anything at the time, and then he all shook out, making it not a person inside and out. ”

I nodded, "That's true. You can't talk nonsense. ”

She stayed for a while, then took the child in her arms and said goodbye, saying that she would come back for dinner on the wedding day, and I agreed. It's rare for her to have a good meal, so come here, and the winter food is not easy to spoil, so she can take it back as a folding basket.

Before leaving, she said to me: "Yang Yulan is not doing well!"

"Is it? Why? Is it also a difference between urban and rural areas?" I asked.

"Who knows, anyway, I listen to my mother, I often hear the sound of two people arguing and fighting in the house, but when I go out, it is the two of them who are affectionate, I feel that Fang Ming is not a good bird, obviously not good to his wife, but he still pretends to be a good person, and the food is used by his wife's family, which is really a little too much. ”

I smiled and said nothing, Fang Ming was from the city, Yang Yulan was from the village, facing the same problem, Fang Ming's good days were coming, and he could go back, but what about Yang Yulan? Fang Ming came back just to have a good life in the village, and he was going to be unlucky. However, those people in the previous life should have gone back in seven or five or seven or six years, and there are still two or three years. Only the wind may not be able to succeed immediately, it is estimated that according to Fang Ming's personality, it should be that there is no rabbit and no eagle.

The relationship is not good now, and it is estimated that it is a bit exaggerated.

So I said, "It's just a quarrel between the two of them, who can guarantee that they will always have a good relationship? It's okay, let's not spread the word, it's not good to know." ”

She was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I know, I didn't pass it on to the outside, I just told you, you are really a good person, Xiu'er, you are the one who doesn't want to hurt people at all." ”

I smiled and said, "Marriage is not easy, so cherish it." ”

"Alas, if only I had such an awareness as you, but it's a pity, I just can't do it, it's useless to think about it every day, come on, I'm leaving, you should get married." ”

I smiled and agreed. In the next few days, people came to our house to say good things, and my grandfather entertained them.

And on the day of our wedding, it started to snow early. When I woke up, it was already covered in snow, and the goose-feather snow was flying down from the sky, but it was not very cold. Pushing the door out is a little dazzling white.

My grandfather was shoveling the snow outside. When he saw me get up, he said, "Go back and change your clothes, and you will salute later!"

I laughed and said, "It's as simple as it gets, and I don't want to make it that troublesome." Anyway, the whole family is together!"
