The sixteenth round: Outside the Limit

Let's say that the captain's mother came to propose to Ye Zi. Listening to those words, Ye Zi's mother was a little dissatisfied with the object mentioned, and the suspect was too old. So, Ye Zi couldn't help but interject and said, "As long as people don't dislike us, let's meet first." "Meet first? yes, that's good. When the captain's mother heard Ye Zi's words, a smile appeared on her face. Ye Zi continued: "If you think it can be done, it's decided." I don't want any bride price, I can pass the door early, that's the best. Seeing her daughter's attitude, Ye Zi's mother only sighed on the side and didn't say anything more. In this way, the captain's mother arranged to go according to the meaning of the leaves.

Ye Zi was anxious to remarry, and Guiwa's own table was also good and could speak well, so on the day the two met, Ye Zi agreed to the marriage on his own initiative. Although Ye Zi's mother was not very satisfied, she couldn't resist Ye Zi, and she was even more afraid of hurting her daughter again, so she had to follow her daughter's thoughts and did not object again.

The village of Yunling is located at the junction of three counties, and it is called "three regardless", which means that the people in the boundary of Yunling are more complicated, and the three counties bordering it do not care much about it. Yunling, literally, seems to float halfway up the mountain, but in fact it is in the transition zone from the foothills to the plains.

This village has a relatively large population, and it is enough to be worthy of a small town. The area around Persimmon Bay is crisscrossed by ravines, and the accent of one village is not quite the same as that of another. The ancestors of Yunling people are also from all over the world, and within a village, the accents are also different and somewhat miscellaneous.

Yunling has no city wall, and there is no village gatehouse, but there is a big wall erected at the entrance of the village facing the road to the west of the village. The wall is made of green bricks and adobe, which is relatively simple, and belongs to the style of "wearing shoes and hats". On the front and back of the wall are white walls made of lime gray, and the name of the village is written in black lacquer.

Entered the village, went to the east, when you came to the east ditch, the T-shaped intersection turned north again, a long alley, went to the middle section, and you arrived at Guiwa's house, Guiwa's house was on the east side of the alley. Guiwa, surnamed Liang, is known as Liang Xingui.

Guiwa found a partner in her thirties, which is undoubtedly a great joy for the Liang family. As soon as I thought that the young and beautiful Ye Zi had agreed to marry him, I couldn't help but secretly rejoice, counting the days of life, eating and sleeping, and cleaning the house in a hurry, pasting the big red word of happiness, and finally staying up to the day of marrying a daughter-in-law.

Ye Zi is remarried, the Liang family is more difficult, and things are done in a hurry, so this wedding is extremely simple. Just after the Spring Festival, it was the tenth day of the first month, men and women invited relatives and friends, a few tables, a few pots of coarse tea, a few packs of cigarettes, two catties of candy, two newlyweds put on a big red flower, read out the marriage certificate, and bowed to the chairman like three times.

On the night of the candles in the cave room, the precious baby happily had a bright light in her eyes. The Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, he hastily coaxed away the haunted house, tied the door, pulled the curtains, hugged the leaves, kissed and touched I don't know how to be good, hurriedly pushed the leaves to the kang, couldn't wait to pull the quilt, cover the body, very quickly loosen the clothes and untie the belt, blow out the oil lamp, arch into the leaf quilt, the monkey anxiously burrowed into the gentle township......

After finishing the work, after sleeping for a while, Guiwa woke up the leaves again and wanted to come. I slept for a while and woke up for a while, and I came several times in one night, and the leaves were exhausted. After being tired, Guiwa was so excited that she couldn't sleep for a while, and asked Ye Zi to talk about her previous divorce. Ye Zi refused to live or die, and as a result, he was slapped by Guiwa. In this way, with tears in her eyes, Ye Zi dragged her tiredness through her remarriage night......

Ye Zi passed the door and realized that the Liang family lived in a small courtyard with the Wang family. The south building in the courtyard is connected to the slightly gate building, it is open, the Wang family is mostly used to cook, eat, pile up firewood, utensils, farm tools or something, the local people call it "Xiazi". Beixia is where the old couple of the Wang family live with a second son who has not yet started a family. Dongxia is the eldest son of the Wang family and a family of four. And Ye Zi's mother-in-law lives in Xixia.

When she remarried, her mother-in-law was not very enthusiastic, and the neighbors talked about it a lot. Many people muttered, ouch, such a young and good-looking daughter-in-law married a noble baby who is more than ten years older, needless to say, there is something wrong with this daughter-in-law. Some people also say that such a fox spirit has come to the village, but he has to control his own man, otherwise, the future will not be peaceful. And all that. But no matter what others say, Ye Zi still wants to rely on diligence and thrift to keep the family and let the Liang family live a better life. The farm work assigned to the women by the team, Ye Zi always picked up the high division of work, and when he returned home, he took care of all the housework, and he didn't know what it meant to be tired.

The long-term drought is rainy, and the rain moistens the seedlings. Soon after remarrying, Ye Zi became pregnant. People often say that sour children are spicy women, but Ye Zi likes to eat spicy food since he was a child, and he only eats chili peppers when he eats buns, and he decorates his dishes with chili peppers. As for making "spicy onion roots", the leaves are a good hand, and the spicy seeds made of the leaves are spicy and fragrant, and the more you eat, the more you want to eat. Without chili peppers, the leaves do not smell fragrant when eaten.

As for the mother-in-law of the Liang family, when she saw her daughter-in-law eating spicy food, she was not happy, and she cooked either sour noodle soup or sour noodle soup. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law always eat spicy or sour, and they fight a cold war, you ignore your forehead, and you don't talk to you.

It had rained that morning, and it was impossible to work in the field, so Ye Zi collected the clothes of his mother-in-law and the man, filled a porcelain basin, and walked to the pond. The pond of Yunling is much larger than that of Liuwan, and there are stone slopes on all sides of the southeast, northwest, and northwest. It was summer, there was a lot of rain, the pond was full, and the laundry could only be washed on the stone slope. The stone slopes are seven or eight feet wide and are made of brick and stone. To wash clothes, you can only squat on the upper step, and wash the clothes on the next step.

I saw a few women pouting the glutinous, bowing their heads, holding the mallet, chatting while washing. I don't know who started it, and a few women talked about the leaves. "Hey, the daughter-in-law you married is not crooked. "Who's to say it isn't. It's not over when it's sky-high. "Guiwa is blessed, just like that, she married a good-looking and capable daughter-in-law. "It's not that people often say that, lazy people have lazy blessings. ”

"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives. Leaves, they're talking about you. A woman in her forties looked up and saw Ye Zi coming, so she smiled and said to Ye Zi. "Hehe, I didn't say anything bad. Ye Zi replied with a smile. Another woman asked Ye Zi and said, "If you dare, you don't know how to be tired, and you can't stop doing it at a sky-high price." "What's the solution, isn't it poor in the house?" Ye Zi replied casually.

"Hey, you still say that your ancestors are rich. The woman in her forties said. "No, it won't. Ye Zi replied puzzled. "Really. The ancestors of the Liang family are on the slope, dozens of miles away from us. Ye Zi turned his face to look at the woman, and then stopped talking, and heard the other women talking one by one: "I have been on the slope, and I am halfway up the mountain, and the houses are all built along the mountain." "I've also been there, there are a lot of old houses, all of which were owned by the rich man in the past. "It's also strange that in the col, it is inconvenient to enter and exit, why did the rich man's family run there." ”

"You don't understand this, the mountain col is safe, and the wealth is not revealed. The woman continued: "This is the way things happen in this world, there is only what you can't think of, and nothing you can't see. "Hey, hey. Ye Zi smiled and continued to listen to the woman: "Ye Zi, I told you that the ancestors of the Liang family are on the slope, the family is big, there are several courtyards, there are also Liang family temples in the village, and many forests in the mountains are owned by the Liang family." That's a big business. Several other women interjected: "Well, there is a surname Liang on Po'er." "That might be a branch of the Liang family. "Then how did Guiwa's family come to our village?"

"People say that if you have money, you will be blamed, and that's true. I heard that Guiwa's father has been gambling since he was a child. The result: Those who won and lost twice lost once lost all their belongings to the Liang family. If you lose, you don't have to say it, and you owe a lot of debt. The woman continued. "Oh. Ye Zi answered, and continued to listen to the woman's preaching: "Where is it possible to owe money in the casino, the creditors are chasing after them, and the father of the noble baby can't pay the money." As a result, the creditor took a group of people, took the guys, and beat the father of the baby to a cripple. "Oh. Ye Zi replied again, and then continued to listen to others: "Within a few days, Guiwa's father vomited blood and died. "Oh. "There is no way, orphans and widows, Guiwa's mother took Guiwa and Tao'er and begged all the way to our village. "Oh, that's right. ”

"It's not that people often say that, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi. The good Liang family fell like this. "Hey, look at you, like the storyteller. A woman smiled and said to the woman. "Really, there's a bit of a break here?" replied the woman.

After hearing these words, Ye Zi knew the origin of her mother-in-law's family. Back home, didn't say anything. In fact, after living a good life, the temperament of the Liang family's mother and son, Ye Zi is also generally clear. Although my mother-in-law said that she was nosy and even a little stingy, she was generally okay. It's just that this husband Guiwa was born with a clever mouth, stealing and playing tricks, never willing to do a little more, and mixed with 10 jobs in the team every day, even if there is nothing else to do, this work is not at all.

Ye Zi understood that she was a second marriage, and she felt a little sorry for Guiwa, so she was embarrassed to take care of her husband, but in fact, she couldn't care about Guiwa's laziness. She thought to herself: So far, she has nothing to think about, and it is useless to think about it, so let's just go by;
