"Little grandma, a woman came to the door, holding a child, saying that it was your old friend. ”

"Woman, child, who could it be? ”

Out of the gate, a woman in coarse cloth stood at the door, holding a toddler in her arms.

"Lady of the Liu family!" the dumb aunt was surprised, "Why did you come here?"

It was Liu Xiucai's daughter-in-law who came, and when she saw that it was really a dumb aunt, she immediately liked it, a smile appeared on her face, but her body swayed and fell over. I was dizzy.

"Hurry up and get inside. The dumb aunt personally escorted her into the corner courtyard, and after finishing her pulse, she put down her heart, "It's just that I was too hungry and cold, and I was really tired, so I fainted." Hurry up and cook a bowl of porridge. ”

After two bowls of porridge, the lady of the Liu family came back to life.

"Girl, my husband went to the battlefield, he said that he is useless to be a scholar, in this era of war, it is really useless to just study, he wants to personally go into battle to kill the enemy and serve the country, so he entrusts the child and me to you. I hope you can take it in, I will work by myself to support myself, I can embroider, I can cook and do laundry, I really won't cause you trouble. ”

The dumb aunt fed the child a bowl of rotten porridge with her own hands, and watched the child sleep sweetly, then she put her mind at ease, "Sister Liu, don't worry, since Brother Liu believes in me so much, I will not live up to his sustenance, let's live together and wait for their return together." ”

After speaking, he sent Qian'er to the middle court to tell the second aunt that since there were two people in the house, it was right to tell the second aunt who was in charge of the house.

Not long after Qian'er went out, she turned back again, "Little grandma, it's bad, I'm afraid that the news that we will take in the mother and son of the Liu family will spread out, and someone will come to the door to run later." ”

"That's good, we're not a place to take over. The dumb aunt was also startled, the number of refugees outside had increased several times compared to the spring, those people had no fixed place to live, food and clothing, and they were worried that no one was willing to take them in, and they must have heard that Liufu had taken in others, so they rushed to follow suit.

"Let's go and see it first. "Ran to the gate again.

Another woman with a child in her arms.

The dumb aunt suddenly worried: What's wrong with me? Luck is like this? The people who come to the door are all women and children, what can I do?

"We really don't take in refugees in our house, so you better go—" The doorman was persuading.

"I'm not a refugee, you say the new doorman, my surname is Qiao, I'm an old man in the house, I'm here to go out, I'm looking for the little grandmother in the house, it's the dumb boy daughter-in-law-"

"Mother Joe—" The dumb aunt's heart lit up and she ran over with a shout.

Sure enough, it was Qiao's mother, and she was holding Fu'er who had just turned one year old in her arms.

"Little grandma, I've found you—" Qiao's mother burst into tears when she saw that she was a dumb aunt. "The old body is looking for you, but he has suffered so much that he almost can't come back. ”

"Mother Qiao, where have you been, I sent someone to ask you when I came back, and they said that you left quietly by yourself, and no one knows where you went. I've been thinking about Fu'er's illness all the time, and I have to take medicine again. ”

Qiao's mother cried even more, "The old body, the old body can't help it, if I don't leave, this cheap life will be gone a long time ago." ”

The dumb aunt looked at the tumor on Fu'er's face, and instructed Qian'er to arrange for the mother and son to enter the house, "I lack a stable old mother in the corner courtyard, so you can do it in the corner courtyard in the future." ”

Qiao's mother burst into tears of joy when she heard this.

Entering the corner courtyard, Qian'er frowned, and quietly approached the dumb aunt: "You leave them all behind, where do we live?" ”

"Tell Uncle Zhong to move out. ”

Lao Zhong was happy when he heard that he was going to move out by himself, "I am also trying to move out, old slave, I live in the same yard with you women, old slave, I am worried all the time, I am afraid that I will do something bad, and let you laugh." I am afraid that the smell of sweat on the old slave's body will smoke you. ”

The dumb aunt rolled her eyes: "Look at what you always say, it seems that we are all delicate young ladies, as if we are very particular, in fact, we sometimes sleep without taking a bath when we are lazy." ”

Oops - Qian'er was so anxious that she waved her hand, what nonsense did the little grandmother say, it was Liu Xiucai's lady joke!

But the little grandmother didn't look at her, the little grandmother smiled and looked at Uncle Zhong, just like a naughty little granddaughter who was coquettish with her grandfather.

Unexpectedly, the honest and loyal old Uncle Zhong also smiled, "Anyway, you are a pampered daughter's family, my old man doesn't dare to compare with you - just move away, and if you have any orders in the future, you can shout at any time." ”

As he spoke, he picked up the broom and swept the small courtyard of the corner courtyard clean.

"This old man, I'm a little reluctant to give him. Qian'er watched Uncle Zhong leave, rubbed his sour nose and said.

The dumb aunt smiled, "Look at you, an old man is reluctant, but I'm afraid that the next handsome guy will leave, and you will be even more reluctant." ”

Just as Liu Wan came in, "Why did Uncle Zhong move away? Who will I sleep with in the future? I will have nightmares when I sleep alone——"

"You'll have to move out, too. Moved to the middle courtyard. The dumb girl said coldly.

Liu Wan and Qian'er shouted at the same time: "How can you go to the middle courtyard?"

"I just have to go to the middle court. The dumb aunt had a cold face, not soft-hearted at all, "You are no longer a child, and now you are not the sick Brother Wan who needs to be taken care of, you look at your body, you are tall, strong, you are a big boy." You said that you are a big man's family, and you are embarrassed to squeeze together with a few of us little women? ”

On the one hand, Liu Xiucai's mother and Qiao's mother were confused when they heard this, isn't she his daughter-in-law, what's wrong with living in the same courtyard as a young couple? Even if there is no round house, there is no need to avoid suspicion so much.

Liu Wan jumped to his feet: "Why did you drive me away? I am your husband, do you know husband, I must be within a foot with you! I will not leave, I will be with you." ”

Qian'er couldn't bear it, and looked at the dumb aunt, "Little grandma, this, what Brother Wan said also makes sense——"

"You don't want him to sleep alone, then you can move away, you go and accompany him. ”

Qian'er was startled, and quickly changed her words: "I don't, I'm willing, I'm not going anywhere." ”

"Don't make a fuss—I'm not kidding, you, and you, you two move out. Anyway, he needs someone to serve by his side, and Qian'er follows to serve. I told my second aunt that you will be the eldest girl in his house in the future. His daily life and diet are all left to you. Originally, I thought that one day, when you all grew up, I would fight for a place for you and marry him with dignity, but I found that there were difficulties, and instead of spending so many twists and turns, it was better to let you be together first, and then find a way later. ”

What she said was true.

Qian'er knows the temper of the little grandmother very well, and what she says is already in her stomach. Now that she says it, it won't change anymore.

"I'm going, who will serve you?" Qian'er cried, "After you train us one by one, you will drive us away, Sister Orchid, Sister Lancao, Shen'er, now it's the turn of the slave again-"

"Let's go, fate is over, we will separate, because you are by his side, it is better than being by my side, thank you Qian'er, I have pushed the responsibility that I should have borne on your shoulders. Whether it's bitter or sweet in the future, I hope you can be well. ”

Qian'er cried, knowing that her fate with her little grandmother was really over.

Liu Wan and Qian'er left the corner courtyard with the cover roll, and before going out, Qian'er wiped her tears, Liu Wan turned around and spat fiercely: "Stinky mother-in-law, even her husband drove away, what a bad woman with no heart and no liver." I wish you to marry a man who sleeps with a crooked mouth and squinted eyes and farts in the future, and it is best to beat you three times a day, and then I will be relieved. ”

Mrs. Liu Xiucai was surprised when she looked at this scene, "Dumb sister, if we are here and affect your husband and wife, then we are really embarrassed." ”

The dumb aunt smiled lightly: "Sister who is out of the way, it has always been like this between the two of us." ”

Liu Xiucai's wife was secretly surprised, she had been like this all the time? Fighting, not serious, how can this be done, it will be laughed at if it is spread out.

The dumb aunt sighed, "The house is vacated, Mother Qiao and sister-in-law of the Liu family, you can live in that house, and I live here with Chang'an." The room is narrow, so let's make do with it and make arrangements later. ”

Both women were grateful, "It's rare to be able to take us in." ”

As soon as the evening fell, the dumb aunt pushed open the door next door, holding a plate in her hand, with bottles and cans of cotton and white cloth in it.

"Give Fu'er medicine. ”

As he spoke, he pressed Fu'er down, pulled away his shrunken legs, and took out a knife to cut the meat, Fu'er screamed in pain.

"I've used painkiller powder, it's not that painful, bear with me, I'll give you candy to eat when I'm done-" The dumb aunt coaxed while quickly operating, cutting through the carrion, using medicine, and pricking with needles. Then I massaged and applied medicine.

By the time I was done, I was already sweating.

Qiao's mother was shocked and said, "Good my mother, scared me to death - alas, thanks to my mother and son's good life, I found my little grandmother again." Girl, you are truly a great benefactor to our mother and son. You don't know that we have come all the way, the refugees are really like flowing water, and there are wounded soldiers who have retreated from the war, one by one, they are half dead, it is really scary-I saw such a tragic appearance, I thought, old woman, what other extravagant hopes do I have in this life, as long as I live this life in peace with my Fu'er, I will be grateful to the Bodhisattva God-"

The dumb aunt squeezed out a little smile: "How can there be, I'm just ......" Before she finished speaking, she suddenly fell headlong and died.

Liu Wan and Qian'er had just settled down in the middle courtyard, and when they heard that something was happening here, they rushed one after the other.

"Stinky woman, lazy woman, bad woman, drive us away well, we will be punished, I don't know how to take care of myself, I am tired and sick-" scolded viciously, but in fact, his eyes were so anxious that tears rolled up.

Qian'er was calmer than him, touched the forehead of the dumb aunt, and tried to breathe again, the dumb aunt opened her eyes slowly, "I'm just tired, it's okay, just rest for a few days." ”

"Then you can rest for a few days, think about what you have been busy with these days when you go back to the house, there is not a day that you are not busy-" Qian'er complained with tears in her eyes.

"Qian'er," the dumb aunt stopped her hand and smiled bitterly, "I'm really fine, I just think of him, grandpa has an accident, what about himself, I hope he can be safe." ”

Qian'er nodded, "It will be safe, little grandma, you have been seeing a doctor and saving people, what you do is a good thing, do good deeds and accumulate virtues, there will be good rewards, Cousin Bai, he will not have anything at all." ”

The dumb aunt looked at the dark night sky outside the window, "If I were a man, I would really want to learn from Brother Zhong Lin, join the battlefield, and find him back." ”

Qian'er hurriedly interrupted: "Don't think nonsense, this is really something that our women can't do." ”

The dumb aunt closed her eyes and recuperated, "Don't worry, I'm not so impulsive." ”
