The mother was excited and cried and laughed, and after talking for a long time, she gradually calmed down.

Zhou Shujie, listening to the conversation between her mother-in-law and Aunt Guo, listened to her and heard questions.

The mother-in-law called Aunt Guo "Orchid", and Aunt Guo called her mother-in-law "Miss".

Zhou Shujie endured it for a while, but she still couldn't hold back, so she asked. "Mother, why does Aunt Guo call you "Miss"?"

When the mother-in-law heard her daughter-in-law ask, she smiled and looked at Aunt Guo without speaking.

It was Aunt Guo who took over and said with a smile: "Because our family used to be the maid of Miss's family, I have been by Miss's side since I was a child." Until Miss married your father-in-law, our family also came to the Northeast. Later, because of the war, he returned to the mountain village. When we settled in the village, the young lady did not let us say that we were her family's servants, but only said that they were distant relatives and settled down for us alone. So for so many years, outsiders didn't know about my relationship with your mother-in-law. ”

The mother-in-law looked at Aunt Guo with a smile and said, "What do you say about hugging people, I have never regarded you as a servant, we are obviously sisters who grew up together." ”

After speaking, Aunt Guo and her mother-in-law's eyes were faintly filled with tears.

Zhou Shujie guessed that they should be. to the past.

As she spoke, her mother-in-law suddenly reacted, looked at Zhou Shujie and asked, "By the way, my grandson, granddaughter?"

Zhou Shujie glanced at her mother-in-law, and felt that it was better to tell the truth, so she said: "Grandma Ma came to see you today, so let the child be taken away for fear of being scared, and Aunt Guo and I will hug her and let her third sister-in-law take her for one night, and bring it back tomorrow." ”

Zhou Shujie's mother-in-law nodded and said, "Yes, today's situation is that the child is really scared at home, but fortunately he was sent away." ”

Aunt Guo also said with a smile on the side: "Miss......"

"Hey" Before Aunt Guo'er could finish speaking, she was interrupted by her mother-in-law. She said: "What is the name of Miss, that is all in the past, let's still call it as we used to say, you call me sister-in-law, I call you brother and sister." Although it is not as strict as before, we must also be careful not to let people say that they are capitalists!"

"Okay, I remember" Aunt Guo nodded and agreed to her mother-in-law. Then she said what she hadn't finished just now, and said, "Old sister-in-law, you don't have to worry about the children, my third daughter-in-law will definitely be able to take care of them." If you really want to see them, go to bed early. When you wake up, they'll be back tomorrow. ”

After listening to Aunt Guo'er's words, Zhou Shujie's mother-in-law nodded with a smile and said. "Good"

In fact, she had already felt sleepy, but she didn't say anything.

I was so excited just now, but now when I relax my mind, I feel that my whole body is sore.

After all, she is a person in her sixties, she cried in the middle of the night last night, and she cried several times today, and now she feels that her brain hurts.

I thought, it's better to go to bed early, and I'll talk to them tomorrow when I'm full of energy.

As soon as Zhou Shujie heard that her mother-in-law was going to sleep, she slipped on the kang and spread the quilt and mattress.

The mother-in-law slept on the kang, with Aunt Guo in the middle, and Zhou Shujie on the edge, and they arranged the position in this way this night.

They all took off their clothes and blew out their candles.

After lying down for a while, the mother-in-law fell asleep.

I waited for a while, and waited for my mother-in-law to fall asleep.

Aunt Guo spoke to Zhou Shujie in a whisper.

She said, "Your mother-in-law's maiden family is in the south, and your father-in-law's house has a cloth shop, which buys goods from your mother-in-law's house. That's how they are, they have contacts and get acquainted with each other. In the end, your mother-in-law married your father-in-law, and followed him to abandon her family and move to the northeast. The first few years were fine, although I didn't have children, I lived quite beautifully. ”

"Then what happened?" asked Zhou Shujie.

"Later, it was not so peaceful, the war became more and more widespread, and even the business in the city was not easy to support. At that time, your grandmother and mother-in-law decided to take care of the business in Hacheng and move back to their hometown to come to the cat. Your grandmother and mother-in-law will come back to fight the front station first, and your father-in-law and mother-in-law will only be left in the city with several shops, and it just so happens that at this time your mother-in-law also has her first pregnancy, and when she was less than three months pregnant, she received a letter from a distant relative in the south. The letter said that your mother-in-law's mother-in-law's family had suffered over there, and they had died and fled, and the old family had lost contact. I don't know if there are any people alive. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Shujie exclaimed slightly: "Oh my God!"

I thought in my heart that there might not be much hope of survival, after all, I had never heard of a mother-in-law's mother's family coming to me in my previous life.

Of course, she didn't dare to say that.

Aunt Guo sighed and said: "Alas~ This news made your mother-in-law and the child they had been looking forward to for so long gone, and your mother-in-law herself was sick. When she recovered, the doctor took a closer look and said that her body had been injured and that she would have to wait for many years to have a child. So I got married later than your mother-in-law, but the pillar is the same as your third brother in my family. ”

"Later, your grandmother and mother-in-law settled here, and they sent a letter to your father-in-law, and the two of them handled the business in their hands tightly. The family rushed back, and it was not safe on the road at that time. Basically, I didn't bring anything back, even the ornaments that your parents-in-law loved, I didn't take them back and threw them all in Hacheng. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Shujie thought to herself, it seems that only her father-in-law and mother-in-law know about the gold and those things in the vegetable cellar.

At the same time, I also secretly warned myself in my heart not to go out and say, no one is allowed.

"When we moved here, Miss gave us a separate hukou and gave us a few houses, and our family became neighbors with your mother-in-law's family. ”

"At that time, because of the war, there were not many families in this small village deep in the mountains, so we stopped here for two years. It wasn't until the liberation of the country that those who went to serve as soldiers and fled returned to the village one after another, and the village gradually became popular. Later, the state sent educated youth, and slowly formed the current 200 households. Your Uncle Guo and his family also fled and ran back, and your father-in-law heard that their family knew carpenter's craft, so he asked him to come back and beat two cabinets" Speaking of this, Aunt Guo raised her hand to the ground and said: "Oh, these are the two cabinets under your house." That's how I met your Uncle Guo, and later his mother took a fancy to me and went to my house to mention my relatives. When I got married, your mother-in-law gave me a lot of dowry. ”

Speaking of this, Aunt Guo sighed, patted Zhou Shujie's exposed arm angrily, and said in a solemn tone: "Shujie! Aunt Guo has said so much today and told you so much. Not only do I want to tell you about the past, but I also want to tell you that your mother-in-law is a very good person, and I also know that you used to take good care of your mother-in-law. Now that she has come to her senses, I also hope that the relationship between your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can get along. ”

Zhou Shujie heard his seriousness from Aunt Guo'er's words, and also heard her concern for her mother-in-law.

She doesn't care, whether Aunt Guo can see it or not.

nodded solemnly and responded: "Don't worry, Aunt Guo, I will definitely get along well with my mother-in-law." ”

Hearing Zhou Shujie's promise, Aunt Guo seemed to be relieved. With a smile in his voice, he said: "I know that you are a multiplier, my old woman will not ink with you, let's sleep too!"

"Hmm"

After that, no one spoke anymore, and he slowly fell asleep.

Before going to bed, Zhou Shujie was still thinking, I don't know where the pillar is now? If he knew that his mother had woken up, he would definitely be very happy, but unfortunately there was no way to tell him now. Well, let's leave him a surprise.

…… Call...... Call...... Slept...... Past.......
