Chapter 12: The Uncle's Family

After walking more than 100 meters south along the path and a few dozen meters to the west, I arrived at the gate of a large courtyard. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info courtyard wall is about one person high, made of adobe bricks. Entering the sturdy wooden door, the upper room has three rooms with two ear rooms, as well as the east wing room and the west wing room, blue bricks and tiles, very magnificent. This courtyard is worthy of being one of the several mansions in the entire village.

The yard was also quite large, with a jujube tree, a willow tree, a stone table and four stone benches, and a big earth dog tied to the tree barked at them.

This big courtyard was repaired at the expense of Chen Shi, the third uncle who did a small business in Fucheng, and it was only repaired last year, and it was brand new.

At the stone table, a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old was leading two children to play. The little girl wears a pea-green bikini and a white middle coat and pants. Although the nail has faded, and the middle coat and pants have been washed a little yellow, there are no patches. People are barely delicate, with red phoenix eyes, dropped eyes, and white skin, but the brutality and hatred in their eyes have been reduced a lot.

When she saw the family, she snorted and said, "It's dirty, and I didn't wash my face before I came to visit." Then he raised his head and entered the east chamber.

This should be the famous Chen Aju.

A little girl over two years old looked at Chen Afu and said, "Dirty, let your mother help you wash your white." ”

A little boy about four years old also dragged like Chen Aju, "hummed", and followed her into the east chamber.

These two small points should be Chen Dahu, the son of Chen Agui, and the daughter Chen Daya. Although their attitude is not friendly, the child is not guilty. If it weren't for the instigation of an adult, they wouldn't have done it.

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl came out of the kitchen and said with a smile, "Second uncle, second aunt, Ah Fu, don't be angry, my sister has been spoiled by the family." Quick, sit in the house, my grandma and my father are waiting for you. "She should be the lobby sister Chen Alan. looks a little similar to Chen Aju, but her eyes are much calmer.

Chen Mingming shook his head angrily.

The Wang family seemed to have long been accustomed to Chen Aju's rudeness, and forced a smile, "The second aunt knows that Aju is a child's nature. ”

When you enter the upper room, you will enter the hall. There is a large table of eight immortals in front of it, two chairs next to the table, and a few chairs on both sides. There was no one in the house.

They went to the left and went to the West House, where there was a big kang near the window, and there was an old lady in her fifties and a man in her thirties sitting at the kang table, and a young man in his twenties was sitting on a chair on the ground. These three should be grandmother Mrs. Chen, uncle Chen Ye, and lobby brother Chen Agui.

Mrs. Chen was wearing a gray dress, thin, and a silver hairpin on her head, typical of a shrewd old lady in the countryside. Chen Ye and Chen Agui are both typical rural peasants, blue short brown, but no patches, and red faces, life is better at first glance.

Chen Ye smiled and got off the kang to greet Chen Ming and the others. also said, "Everyone is here, go, go to the hall to pay respects to my mother." ”

Chen Ye, like Mrs. Chen, smiled much more sincerely at Chen Ayuan, and his eyes only stopped on Chen Afu and Chen Dabao.

Regarding the attitude of Mrs. Chen and Chen Ye, Chen Afu can also understand that people are selfish. From Wang's words in the past few days, it can be heard that since Ah Lu's leg was lame, their mother and son have never given Chen Afu and Dabao a good look.

It's just that Chen Dabao was a little disappointed, he shouted "grandma" and "grandpa" in a higher voice than anyone else, but he didn't attract attention.

Fortunately, there was a remedy from the lobby brother Chen Agui, who called "Ah Fu, Dabao" with a smile, and came to hold Chen Dabao's hand.

When he arrived at the hall, Chen Ye opened his voice and shouted, "Child, mother, call everyone over quickly, I want to pay my mother's birthday." ”

Mrs. Chen smiled and just sat down at the Eight Immortals table, when she saw the eldest aunt Hu, the lobby sister-in-law Gao, and the lobby sister Alan coming from the kitchen, and Chen Aju led Chen Dahu and Chen Daya out of the east wing.

Hu, Chen Ye, and Wang are all thirty-six years old, but they seem much younger. Very neat, white, and looks very similar to Chen Aju. He wore a brown embroidered muslin gown, an apron, a silver hairpin on his head, and a pair of gold lilacs on his ears. This dress belongs to the kind of fashion in the countryside, and some landlords are not necessarily so luxurious.

Chen Ye and Chen Ming stood at the forefront, Chen Afu, Chen Alu and Chen Dabao stood at the end, and the family knelt down to kowtow to the old lady to celebrate her birthday. Chen Afu knelt down and kowtowed a little hard, asking Ah Lu and Dabao for help.

After kowtowing, Wang held the clothes she made to Mrs. Chen. Mrs. Chen smiled and squinted, and said directly, "Ouch, it's still made of muslin, this blessing character is really beautifully embroidered, just like the ready-to-wear clothes bought in the county embroidery workshop." ”

Hu Shi pursed his lips and said with a smile, "Mother-in-law, although my stitches are not as good as my younger siblings, I am filial piety in front of my mother-in-law every day, and serve in front of the bed in the morning and evening." A good deed is easy to do, but it is difficult to do good deeds every day. ”

Mrs. Chen didn't want to be idle with life today, so she smiled and said, "Yes, I know that the eldest daughter-in-law is filial." ”

Chen Ye frowned and said, "You girl just talk a lot of nonsense." ”

Chen Ming took out another fifty yuan to Chen Ye and said, "Mother's birthday, it's not good for the eldest brother's family to spend money." After saying that, he lowered his eyelids embarrassedly.

Chen Ye shirked, "The second brother said this, and he was outside, you and the third brother have to pay the rations to the mother every year, how can you give another money?"

Mrs. Chen hurriedly said, "Da'er take the money, your brother is right, it's not good for your family to spend money on your mother's birthday." ”

Hu Shi was still afraid that Chen Ye would not accept it, so he said, "In charge, I want you to provide education for the second and third uncles at a young age, and I will serve them as a slave as soon as I enter the door." They are all married and have a business, and they should also contribute to their mother's birthday, so why are you embarrassed to let us go out of the room. ”

Chen Ye scolded with a heavy face, "You are a girl who is disgusting, and you have to talk a lot about everything." ”

When Hu saw that his man had received the money, he relieved himself and said to Gao and Alain, "Let's go, go to work." Ouch, we don't have such a good life, we can sit down and serve the meal in front of us. ”

Gao and Alan answered and went out.

Wang also hurriedly followed out and said, "What else is there, my sister-in-law assigned me." ”

Chen Ye, Chen Ming, and Chen Agui went back to Westinghouse to chat with the old lady. Chen Aju led the two small ones out, and in the blink of an eye, Chen Afu and the three of them were left in the hall.

After a while, Mrs. Chen said in hindsight, "No, I have to go and see, Wang's hand is the guy who eats at the second family, don't be poked by that ruined lady to do some rough work, and hurt your hand." He hurriedly got off the kang and walked to the kitchen.

Chen Ye also answered, "The Hu family doesn't have a long memory, so my mother will beat a few words." That girl is confused, and she never knows how to grow a heart. ”

Wang cherishes her hands very much, and when she does rough work such as carrying water and watering the ground, she will use a handkerchief to pad her hands to do it.

The kitchen in the upper room is the transept next to the Westinghouse. As soon as the old lady entered the kitchen, she heard her scolding voice, as well as Hu's explanation, as if Hu asked Wang to light the fire.

For ordinary people, burning a fire is the lightest job in the kitchen, but it is not a good errand for Wang, who cherishes his hands as much as his life.

These farmers usually pick up some dry firewood sticks, and they have to break the long or many branches while burning the fire. It's easy to hurt your hands and make them rough. In their own home, they would never let the Wang family burn the fire.
