…………

The eldest aunt sat there, praising the girl with a flower, yes, I asked the eldest brother with an inquiring look, 'Is it really so good', the eldest brother didn't speak, looked at the eldest aunt helplessly, and replied to me with a 'guess' look. made me laugh, the aunt thought I was laughing at her, so she looked at me with an expression of 'you don't believe me', grandpa, uncle, they watched our eyebrows and eyes lawsuit the whole time, and the whole family was amused by the aunt. At the end of the laugh, I was embarrassed to laugh at the eldest aunt, and the night's chatter ended in a burst of laughter, and they went back to the house to sleep.

After breakfast the next day, the uncle said that he would go to see if the wheat in the field could be harvested. As soon as he got his hands on me, he even looked at my house, and when he could collect it, he would help me take it back.

The eldest brother is going to work for his father-in-law's house.

The eldest aunt glared and said, "I really have a daughter-in-law and forget my mother."

Grandpa said with a smile: "The daughter-in-law hasn't married yet, and it's normal to have a little beard, so let's go." ”

The eldest brother went to the sound of our laughter, blushing all over his face.

The second brother said that he would go up the mountain while the weather was not cold, and now he was idle and picked up more branches. In winter, I have to burn the stove, and I have to prepare my family's share to save our mother from freezing in winter.

The only thing left in the house is the grandfather who basks in the sun in the yard. Mother-in-law watching her child sleep in the house. My aunt and I were quiet in the courtyard all of a sudden.

I asked my aunt, "Do you have any other work at home?" Now the child sleeps, and I stay too. ”

The eldest aunt thought for a while and said, "Then let's dry some vegetables, and go to the back vegetable garden to pick some beans." Cut some shredded beans and dried them, and they are delicious to eat in winter. ”

My aunt and I stepped over a basket and went to the back garden to pick beans.

When I went, I told my grandfather who was sitting in the yard to help me listen a little, and if the child cried, he would go to the back garden and call me.

Afraid that the child would cry, my aunt and I picked it tightly. It's only an hour, and one person picks a big basket of beans. As soon as I saw that the beans were all gone, I asked my aunt.

"Don't you need to leave some fresh stew to eat? I said.

The eldest aunt replied: "Don't stay, this bean, it's almost time." After that, the weather will get colder and colder, and it will not like to grow long. Besides, the beans are gone, isn't there still eggplant, can you eat persimmons? ”

We finished picking, and my grandfather was standing at the entrance of the garden and calling me, saying that the child was awake. We hurried back with the frame on our shoulders.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw my mother-in-law hugging her, crying obediently, swaying back and forth on the ground, coaxing. The steamed buns were also lying on the kang and kicking their legs and humming. Listening to the more and more powerful and louder cries of the obedient girl, my heart is not to mention how happy. Her crying is getting louder and louder, which means that her body is getting better and better. It was like a hundred days in my last life, and I cried like a kitten.

"Mother, give it to me, I'll feed it. As he spoke, he took it from his mother-in-law's hand, picked up her clothes, and put her rations in her mouth. This good boy ate and stopped crying immediately. I laughed when I saw it. (Good boy is the nickname of her daughter, which means little good girl.) Mantou is my son's nickname, and I think he looks white and chubby. )

gave my daughter to my mother-in-law, and picked up the steamed buns on the kang again.

After feeding the two little ones, I played with them for five or six minutes. Seeing them open their mouths and snorting, I knew that they were going to sleep again, and when they fell asleep, I would be able to go out and help my aunt dry the beans.

"Mother, come with me to the outside to have a look, my aunt is drying vegetables, let's go and have a look." After speaking, he took his mother-in-law's hand and pulled out his mother-in-law, who didn't dare to leave the house.

When we came out to see, the eldest aunt had already cut half a box of beans, and when we looked again, grandpa was not in the yard.

I asked the eldest aunt, "Auntie, why is grandpa going?"

The eldest aunt said with a smile: "Hehe, your grandfather knows that you are coming back in the next two days, so he put a net in the fork of the river in advance, and now he goes to the net, saying that he will give you the fish to come back to eat." ”

I asked, "Is it okay? Can Grandpa hold it?"

"It's okay, your grandfather is in good health, you're going to do a favor, he should be angry, thinking that you see him as a waste. The eldest aunt said with a smile.

Let the eldest aunt help me find a kitchen knife again, and the two of us were cutting shredded beans there. Let the mother-in-law sit and watch.

The eldest aunt took a look, and I cut it and said, "Your knife skills are still quite good, very fine, and quite even." ”

"Haha, it looks like I have this talent. With a sloppy eye, I turned the topic away. I thought to myself, can't I cut it well? I have cut a dish for forty or fifty years, and how stupid it would be to not cut it back.

We put the shredded beans in a dustpan on the side, and when the dustpan was full, it grew up and sprinkled it on the wooden board to dry. At that time, in order to dry vegetables, each house would nail a drying table with wooden boards.

I chatted with the uncle and the aunt while cutting, talking, talking, I was stunned there. My aunt talked to me, but I didn't hear my answer, and I looked up and saw me stunned. Looking at my line of sight, the eldest aunt was also stunned.

After a while, the eldest aunt reacted and patted her thigh and said, "Hey, this is going to be good."

I only reacted when I heard the voice of the eldest aunt's question. It turned out that my mother-in-law came to the side of the dustpan and shook off the shredded beans with her hands, shaking off the broken beans mixed in it. This is a necessary process when drying carob silk every year. If you don't shake out the broken beans inside, the rusty beans will be rusty for a long time, and the shredded beans will not taste good.

I looked at my mother-in-law with excitement in my eyes, yes! I really didn't expect that it would give me hope so soon. What does it mean that she will take the initiative to help with the work after only one day in an unfamiliar environment? This shows that she is not afraid! She will not hide in the corner nervously when she leaves her own house as before.

"It's good, it's good, it's good!" I whispered subconsciously.

At this time, I heard the opening and closing of the gate, and it was my grandfather who came back with a wooden bucket and fish.

I whispered to my grandfather excitedly: "Grandpa, look at my mother-in-law, she is not afraid or nervous"

"Oh, isn't it!" Grandpa nodded with a smile.

This incident made me happy for a long time, until the eldest uncle and second brother came back at noon, and I was very excited to learn from them. Let them rejoice and rejoice for me.
