Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Third Sister's Family
Yuan Si is the first time to see this third sister, the first impression is good, much stronger than Li Yuanai's second sister, her face is three points like an old lady, it may be the relationship between facing the loess and facing the sky every day, a little old. No matter how you look at it, she doesn't look like a person who is just thirty years old, and if she wants to see it, someone will believe it at the age of forty.
Suddenly feeling that several eyes were looking at her, she looked at the source of her gaze quietly, and the door of the mud and straw house was squeezed several little heads from top to bottom.
At this time, the mother and daughter next to her had finished making love, Li Yuanshan took the little sister's hand, and said with a smile: "The fourth time I came to the third sister's house, do you still know the third sister?"
"Recognize. Yuan Si nodded.
"It's so good, no wonder no one in our mother praises you, just praise you for being smart. You haven't eaten yet, come into the house, the third sister will make you something to eat. ”
So Li Yuanshan took her little sister's hand, Zhao Xiangyang hugged her mother-in-law, and the group walked into the house. went to the door and grabbed the children who peeked at the door.
"Here are your nephews. What are you doing stupidly, why can't you call people? Li Yuanshan smiled all over her face. "This is grandma, grandma came to see you when you were born. This is your aunt. ”
Yuan Simo, I saw it once when I was born, and you still expect the child to remember people.
"Grandma. Several children shouted at Grandma in unison, making the old lady laugh enough. touched their heads one by one, and praised the children vigorously.
Several children smiled shyly, and couldn't scream at Yuan Si, a little aunt who was shorter than them. Zhao Fumao, who was still the youngest four-year-old, had no psychological burden, and shouted "Auntie" to Yuan Si.
Yuan Si sighed very calmly, then took out a piece of White Rabbit toffee from her pocket with her little hand, and handed it to Zhao Fumao in the envious eyes of several other children, "Come, this is Auntie's reward for you." ”
"Auntie!"
"Auntie, and me!"
"Auntie, don't forget me!"
The other three children were no longer reserved when they saw the sugar, and they shouted Aunt Xiao one by one in front of Yuan Si, and their voices were very loud.
Yuan Si showed an elder's smile on his face, and took out three pieces of candy from his pocket, each child shared a piece, and the little hand returned the debt on the hairy head of the family, and praised "good".
"Poof, the fourth child is a little older and pretends to be a little adult. Li Yuanshan doesn't have a daughter, and it's rare to see this little girl's cute appearance, "Your nephews are all leather boys, and they are blind when they eat candy, Xiaosi, you keep it for yourself." ”
Several boys looked at their mothers accusingly, after all, it is still not your son, how can you bury your son's mother like this.
Li Yuanshan ignored these leather boys, grabbed the candy in their hands as soon as she stretched out her hand, and then stuffed them into the hands of her sisters, and didn't look at the little faces of her sons who were about to cry, and pulled her sisters into the house.
There was a dim kerosene lamp lit in the room, and the window was a pan resistant, quite large.
There are two wooden boxes on the kang, which are the dowry given by the old lady when Li Yuanshan got married.
"My mother and sister are estimated to be hungry for a day, so you quickly ask the boss to go to my mother to borrow some food and make something good for my mother and sister-in-law. After Zhao Xiangguo helped the old lady to sit on the kang, he pulled his daughter-in-law and whispered instructions.
Zhao Xiangguo was grateful to his mother-in-law, and when he married Yuanshan, his mother-in-law did not embarrass him, he only needed a bride price of 20 yuan, let him marry his daughter-in-law, and lived a life of hot kang with his wife and children, and he was grateful to her for a lifetime.
Zhao Xiangguo's village is called Qianhu Village, which is a difficult village in these ten miles and eight townships, because of poverty, it is difficult for young men to find a daughter-in-law until they reach marriageable age, and many young men just drag it on, year after year, until they finally become old singles.
Zhao Xiangguo has a total of three sons, Zhao Xiangguo is the second, he is the only one in the family who is free to love and marry a daughter-in-law, and the eldest brother and third brother are still singles.
"Okay, I see. Of course, Li Yuanshan also wanted her mother to eat well, so she smiled and said to the two people on the kang: "Mother, you sit down and drink saliva first, and I'll cook for you." ”
"You don't have to be busy, I'm eating on the way with your sister-in-law. The old lady waved her hand and said that she didn't need to cook, she was full, and besides, she was sending something to her daughter, how could she increase the burden on them.
But Li Yuanshan didn't believe it, she was in a hurry for a day, and she couldn't go to the village or the store in front of her, where to eat.
"Oh, really, you don't know who I am, and I never pretend. The old lady pulled her daughter and didn't let her go, "Don't be busy, sit down and talk to me." ”
After Yuan Si sat down, he beckoned to a few nephews peeking at the door, and a few young men were a little shy, and secretly looked at the old lady again, but did not dare to enter the house.
is still the youngest and bravest, looking at the candy in the hand of the aunt, she entered the house with a smile.
"You're still the most well-behaved, Aunt Lai will reward you with two pieces this time. Yuan Si pinched the child's face and frowned, it didn't have the good feel she imagined, but it was rough, but she still gave the child two pieces of toffee.
Now there were only two of the four pieces she was holding in her hand.
The three children looking at the outside of the door were all anxious, and they didn't care about the powerful old lady, so they rushed in, afraid that if they ran slower, they would become the last one, and there would be no sugar to eat.
"Little, Auntie!" came to her, looking at the candy in her hand, and it was difficult for anyone to ask for it.
Yuan Si had a sense of accomplishment, pinched her face one by one, and gave each person a piece of candy, and if it was not enough, she reached into her pocket and took out a piece.
This time, several children learned to be obedient, peeled the skin directly on the spot, and stuffed the sugar directly into their mouths.
Then the children's eyes lit up.
"Sweet!"
"It's so sweet!"
"Delicious!"
"It's so sweet, it's so delicious!"
The four children gave an evaluation from childhood to adulthood, which made Yuan Si laugh, these children are very interesting, much more fun than the little cubs in the second sister's family.
"This is not the most delicious, Auntie, there is still something delicious, do you want it?" Yuan Si felt like a strange aunt, specializing in amusing children.
"Eat. "This time it's all in unison.
Yuan Si was very satisfied, and she was not stingy, she directly dragged her back basket, and took out the leftover steamed buns and meat that she ate today, two big steamed buns wrapped in an oiled paper bag, and took out twenty bags.
This is the ration specially prepared by Yuan Si knowing that she would have to come out for three days and was afraid that she would not find a place to eat. I've eaten one day's serving, and the rest are for the next two days. Now look at these children pleasing to the eye, and this is how to take them out.
Since Yuan Si has seen the oil paper wrapped buns, I feel that the oil paper is much easier to use than the leaves, so the last time I went to the county seat, I bought a lot of oil paper to go home, just keep it for the future to wrap a meal or something, but I didn't expect to use it not long after I bought it back.
"Auntie, what is this?" The eldest child took the paper bag and looked over and over again, but he couldn't see what was famous, and the adults didn't dare to open the bag without saying anything, so they could only ask.
"You'll know if you take it apart yourself. ”
