………………

We set off after packing up, early in the morning, with some breeze. I wrapped the two children in a thin layer of small quilts. Big brother, second brother help me with things. My mother-in-law and I were holding a child alone.

I also discovered that as long as the child is holding the child, even if she is walking on the street, the mother-in-law will not be so nervous when there are more people, and her attention seems to be on the child. This is also a good phenomenon, when the child is older, she will lead the child out to play, and slowly get used to it, so that she will not be afraid of strangers.

When we walked past Aunt Guo's door, I saw Aunt Guo standing at the gate, looking at us with a smile.

Aunt Guo smiled and said: "Thoughtful, thoughtful, you are here to pick up the pillar daughter-in-law and go back to her parents' house to dry the nest, can you take your mother-in-law out with the pillar daughter-in-law?"

The eldest brother, the second brother replied: "Yes, Aunt Guo" (the eldest brother is called Zhou Quan, and the second brother is called Zhou Dao)

I smiled and said, "Aunt Guo, I want to try and let my mother-in-law have more contact with the outside world, can her illness be better." ”

Aunt Guo thought for a while, nodded and said, "This is also a method, it's okay to give it a try, anyway, your mother's house is not far away." If your mother-in-law really can't stay outside for a long time. Your mother-in-law really can't stand it, so you can bring him back quickly. ”

I replied, "Well, I think there's no harm in trying anyway, so if it doesn't work, we'll stop and not try." ”

Aunt Guo said, "It's okay, then let's try it." ”

I said, "Aunt Guo, I have to trouble you a little bit." This is the key to my house, and when I'm not at home, you help me watch the yard. With that, I pulled it out of my pocket. A key was handed to Aunt Guo.

Aunt Guo smiled and said, "Hey, what's so troublesome about this, just go and I'll show you the house."

I said, "Then thank you, Aunt Guo, let's go first!"

Aunt Guo waved her hand and said, "Go, go, don't stand outside for too long, see the child is cold." ”

I said, "Well, then we're leaving."

The eldest brother and the second brother said, "Aunt Guo, let's go first and have time to visit my house."

"Hmm" Aunt Guo agreed and said, "Okay, I have time to go to your house to talk to your mother."

After saying hello to Aunt Guo and giving the key out, I followed the two brothers to the uncle's house with confidence.

When I said this all the way to the door of my uncle's house, I saw my grandfather walking back and forth in the yard, looking up at the gate from time to time. I knew she was waiting for me. Otherwise, this time of day is the time for grandpa to go for a walk. After breakfast, he would walk around the village twice to exercise.

"Grandpa, you're waiting for me, I'm back" I walked quickly to my grandfather with a steamed bun.

"You girl, slow down, still holding the child, don't go so fast. Grandpa looked at me with a smile on his face and said with disgust.

The eldest brother and the second brother greeted the grandfather and said, "Grandpa, we brought my sister back." ”

Grandpa nodded and said, "Okay, it's done, put your sister's things in the second boy's house." After speaking, he said to the second brother: "The second boy has been sleeping with your brother for the past few days, let your sister live in your house." ”

"Well, I know", "Got it, grandpa" eldest brother, after the second brother agreed, he took my things and put them in the second brother's room.

After arranging my next quarters, my grandfather said to me, "Bring my little grandson over and I'll take a look." ”

I pretended to be angry and pouted, "Hmph, you don't like me as a granddaughter, do you?"

Grandpa glared and said, "You stingy girl, you are all a mother, and you are still so stingy." Grandpa laughed out loud.

My mother-in-law has been standing by the gate since she entered. Holding the child and looking at the strange people and things in the courtyard, I began to feel a little nervous.

Grandpa said, "Quick, take the child and take your mother-in-law into the house." Grandpa saw that mother-in-law was a little scared before he said this.

"Well, I'll send the child and my mother-in-law into the house first, and then I'll come out and talk to you. I said to my grandfather with the baby in my arms.

"Mother, let's go into the house" After speaking, I held the child with one hand and my mother-in-law's arm with the other. Send her to the second brother's house. In the last few days, this house has been mine.

When I entered the house, I saw that the eldest brother and the second brother were busy helping us burn the fire!

"Brother, you can rest for a while, I'll burn it myself, I don't need you to help me. After entering the house, the mother-in-law put down the child and walked to the kitchen and said.

The eldest brother said, "You're not tired, what are you resting for, you still have two children, you should rest."

The second brother said: "Okay, let's stay on the side, you will work at your mother-in-law's house, and you will not be more idle when you go home." ”

"Hee-hee, okay I'll listen to my brothers," I said with a grin.

Seeing my two brothers busy, I suddenly felt as if I was getting younger. It's not age, it's mentality, from dying old age to young age, whether it's talking or doing things? I always feel that I am the same as those and aunts in the village, and I am an ordinary child. Now in front of my grandfather and brother, I feel young and energetic.

The second brother looked at me standing there in a daze, so he pushed me and said, "Don't stand here, you don't need you to coax the child to sleep." You just go out and talk to you. When you get married, grandpa is not used to it, and he always talks about you every day."

"Okay, then I'll go and talk to grandpa!" After saying that, I walked out, came to my grandfather and asked, "Grandpa, what about my uncle and aunt, why didn't you see them, are they going up the mountain or on the ground?"

Grandpa said: "They went to the county seat and said they wanted to buy some meat and come back to make dumplings for you to eat." ”

"Oh, it's not an outsider, why break the bank

I said.

"What's the cost, I want to eat dumplings too, and I don't want to eat them all for you?" said Grandpa.

I jokingly said, "Oh, it turned out to be Grandpa's gluttonous dumplings, this is to borrow me!hahaha"

Grandpa "Hmph!" and said, "Since you said so, you are not allowed to eat it at that time." ”

On this day, in addition to feeding the children, I was talking and chatting with my grandfather and coaxing him to be happy.

The eldest aunt really bought 4 catties of meat when they came back, divided half of it into stuffing, put some leeks, and hung the remaining 2 catties of meat in the well. The dumplings with leek meat wrapped in the evening are delicious.

After dinner, I watched my mother-in-law and two children fall asleep. We gathered in my grandfather's house and lit kerosene lamps to talk about our daily routines. When it came to the eldest brother's marriage, the eldest aunt said that the girl was very good-looking and capable, but the family was a little poorer. There are two younger brothers and a younger sister below, and they have also met a few, all of whom are afraid that their mother's family will be too poor to scrape and pull out, so they will be left to go on a blind date with my eldest brother at the age of 21. (Scraping means that she needs to patch it up.) At that time, it was normal to get married at the age of seventeen or eighteen, and at the age of 21, she was an old girl. )
