Chapter 20: The Old House
The old house of the Jin family is near the entrance of the village, not far from the peach blossom house, the houses in the countryside are built without regulations, one in the east and one in the west, bypassing a haystack, the old house appears in front of you. At this time, the two boys at www.biquge.info the door were chasing and playing, they were the thirteen-year-old eldest son Jin Yuantang and the ten-year-old second son Jin Yuanbao of the second uncle of the peach blossom family. Seeing Jin Dazhong and Peach Blossom coming, they glanced at each other, hurriedly ran to the house, and shouted in their mouths: "The third uncle is here, the third uncle is here!"
Are we bandits, as for shouting like this!!) Peach Blossom was a little angry, but it didn't matter if she thought that they were children.
Following the footsteps of the two boys, Jin Dazhong pushed the cart into the yard. The old house is a large courtyard, and there are six or seven rooms in the main house, plus the left and right wings, and there are more than ten rooms in the house. There is a chicken coop and a pigsty in the yard, and a dozen chickens are walking around the yard to forage for food, and there are three pigs in the pigsty.
Peach Blossom's grandmother Liu is sitting in the yard picking vegetables, the eldest daughter-in-law, who is Peach Blossom's eldest mother Du Shi, is helping on the side, and muttering I don't know what she is talking about, Liu's face is not very good-looking, Peach Blossom's second mother Yu Shi doesn't seem to be at home, it is estimated that she has gone out to visit the door again, and she should not come back until she eats. Hearing the shouts of the two boys, the two raised their heads. It's just that there is schadenfreude in Du's eyes.
"It's back. Liu said that Liu is an old man in his fifties who looks kind and kind, with wrinkles on his face one by one, slender eyebrows, two big eyes, and double eyelids, but now that he is old, his eyelids are shrugged down, and his eyes are no longer bright, but it is conceivable that Liu should have been a good-looking girl when he was young.
"Well, send the car back. Kim Dazhong said, and then pushed the cart to the corner of the yard.
"Hmph, did I force you to pay it back, what are you doing in such a hurry. These words were originally well-intentioned, but they changed their taste a little when they came out of Liu's mouth that had changed its timbre.
Jin Dazhong was embarrassed and didn't know what to say, and he wouldn't refute his mother most of the time. The only time, it seems that the courage of a lifetime has been exhausted.
Seeing that Jin Dazhong was silent, Liu seemed to be even more angry, stood up suddenly, and pointed at Jin Dazhong with some hatred: "Is it Zhang Caidie who asked you to pay it back, when I am such a stingy person!"
"No, it's not ......," Kim Dae-chung said.
"Well, my mother asked me to pay it back, saying that it was almost the New Year, and I was afraid that there would be an urgent need at home, so I asked my father to send it back soon. Peach Blossom said crisply, looking at Liu with wide eyes.
Liu Shi turned his head and stared at Peach Blossom, as if he wanted to see her through, slowly, there seemed to be some hatred in his eyes, and he was about to speak, but was interrupted by a voice.
"The child is also a good intention, what are you angry about. Peach Blossom's grandfather Jin Shan walked out of the house, just heard the sound and thought about coming out, but walked two steps slower and quarreled again, how could his mother-in-law be so dissatisfied with the third daughter-in-law, he looked very good, and the third child has a good relationship, and he is diligent and willing to endure hardships, otherwise he would not have pulled up the five children in the case of only two acres of land.
Jin Shan is a sturdy and tough old man, with all the characteristics of the Zhuang family, with a rough and dark face, but a pair of eyes that are embarrassed.
"What kind intentions are not good, how do you know that it must be good intentions, she can't tell how to hate me in her heart, I'm afraid she still wishes I was dead. Liu pointed the finger at Jinshan again.
"You," Jin Shan looked at the old woman angrily and helplessly, shook his head and said, "I won't argue with you, whatever you say." Then he looked at Jin Dazhong and said, "If you need anything in the future, tell your family, don't support yourself." There was apology and love in that tone.
"Hmph, what do people need, I'm still in the city today, everything I buy needs to be pulled home by a cart, people don't know how much money they make, and you still need to worry about it here." Liu sneered on the side.
Peach Blossom looked at Liu strangely, closed her mouth and didn't speak, her grandmother seemed to be particularly prejudiced against her mother, believing that no matter what she and Jin Dazhong said, she didn't believe it and didn't want to hear it.
Jin Shan glared at Liu, but his voice was powerless: "You can't say a word, and you're not afraid that the child will see the joke." ”
Liu didn't say anything, threw the vegetables in his hand into the basin, and then turned around and went back to the house.
"Ignore your mother, she's like this. Jin Shan said, then walked to Peach Blossom again, hugged him, and asked, "Your aunt said that you were sick a while ago, are you better now?" ”
"It's all right, thank you grandpa for your concern. Peach Blossom said sensibly.
"Well, your mother took good care of you and raised you very well. Jin Shan smiled and nodded, feeling very heartwarming, but when he thought of his grandchildren, he felt a little regretful, if only the grandchildren were so sensible and polite like this child.
"Grandpa, what's wrong with you?" asked Peach Blossom, looking at Jin Shan, who seemed to be lost in thought.
"It's nothing, grandpa thinks about how Peach Blossom is so sensible, grandpa is happy. Jin Shan said happily.
"That peach blossom has always been so well-behaved, so that grandpa has always been happy. Peach Blossom said.
"Good, good!" Jin Shanle laughed.
Jin Dazhong also looked at his grandson happily.
Jin Zhanpeng walked over, pouted and said, "Sycophant!"
Before Jin Shan's hand could reach out, he quickly fled far away.
Jin Shan stared at his back and scolded: "Stinky boy, dare to talk nonsense again, see if I don't beat you!"
Peach Blossom pretended to be scared and said, "Grandpa, doesn't my brother like me?"
"No, no, the peach blossoms are so cute, everyone loves them. Jin Shan coaxed.
"What about Grandma?"
"Grandma too...... Ahem, your grandmother is old and a little confused, but she actually likes peach blossoms in her heart. Jin Shan said.
"Well, Peach Blossom knows, Peach Blossom also likes grandma, and will honor grandma in the future. Peach Blossom said solemnly.
provoked Jin Shan to be distressed and happy.
At this time, the door of the east wing opened, and a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl walked out, wearing a pink jacket, and the mouth of the dress was carefully embroidered with a little plum blossom. The girl's hair was lightly pulled with blue and red silk, her face was fair and delicate, and her willow eyebrows were also delicately described. This person is the eldest daughter of Uncle Peach Blossom, Jin Yuer, who is fifteen years old this year. But her personality is domineering and proud, Peach Blossom doesn't like her, and she hides every time she sees her.
Jin Dazhong and Peach Blossom have also been here for a while, accompanied by Liu's loud scolding, Jin Yu'er hid in the house and was afraid that she would have heard it a long time ago, but now she has only come out, and she doesn't know what she is thinking. And I didn't see the eldest uncle and the second uncle, so they shouldn't be at home.
At this time, Jin Yu'er came out of the house, looked at Jin Shan and said, "Grandpa." ”
Then his eyes narrowed the peach blossoms, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he turned his head and shouted to Jin Dazhong: "Third uncle." ”
Without waiting for Jin Dazhong to say anything, he turned around and walked towards the kitchen again, saying as he walked, "I'll go and help my mother cook." ”
The smile on Jin Dazhong's face stiffened, and then he said to Old Man Jin with a smile: "Yu'er is really getting more and more beautiful. ”
Old Man Jin saw everything in his eyes and said angrily: "This girl is really becoming more and more ignorant, and she is used to it by her grandmother." Then he sighed.
"No, no, I look good. Jin Dazhong hurriedly said.
Then I asked some old man's body and the like, to see that it was not early to go back, where was the old man Jin willing to let him go, insisting on staying at home to eat, was pushing and pulling, Liu Shi walked out of the kitchen with an expressionless face, and said in a stiff tone: "Maybe there are any good things left in the house, do you need to keep the food?!" ”
"Look at what you said, what's wrong with the child coming so late and staying at home for a meal. Old Man Jin was a little angry, put down the peach blossom, and shouted at the Liu family.
"Why, you still want to beat me, you don't want to look at how many pounds and taels you have, people can worry about you? I really did a sin, gave birth to such an unfilial son, married a daughter-in-law and forgot my mother. Liu sat on the ground as he spoke, crying, as if he had really been greatly wronged.
Old Man Jin frowned, angry and anxious, and stepped forward and said, "What do you want, the child is still here, how old is it, why are you still so careful." ”
Jin Dazhong's face sank, his face was apologetic and sad, he wanted to step forward, but he hesitated, for fear that the Liu family would be even more angry, and said in a panic: "Dad, mother, then I'll go back first." ”
Then he pulled the peach blossoms in Liu's cry and the persuasion of Old Man Jin and left in a hurry.
