Shen Linxian shook his head and smiled bitterly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
See, most of the villages are like this.
Because they all live in the same place, it turns out that everyone's conditions are similar, no one should boast about being rich, no one can cry poor, and the situation is quite good.
But suddenly, the life of a family is getting better and better, and the whole village is looking at it, and this sour talk gets up.
Shen Linxian didn't pay attention to these old ladies with broken mouths, and rode quickly to the town.
When she arrived in the town, Shen Linxian went to No. 1 Middle School to find a classmate to bring a letter to her three brothers, and went to a meat shop to buy some lo-mei and pork belly and the like, and after buying meat, she went to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy some sugar, melon seeds, and peanuts.
When I went back, I happened to meet someone selling fish on the side of the road, and Shen Linxian saw that the fish were quite fresh and big, so he bought two by the way.
When she returned from shopping, her three aunts, uncles, and children at home all came.
The aunts were helping with the cooking in the kitchen, the three uncles and Shen Lin were chatting in the yard, and the children were gathered together to play.
Seeing Shen Linxian coming back, Wang Guohua hurriedly came over to help her get something, and when she saw the big basket of things that Shen Linxian was carrying on her bicycle, she exclaimed: "Buy so much, can you finish eating?" ”
Shen Linxian smiled: "Milk is happy today, you have to set up a good banquet, naturally buy more, it doesn't matter, you can't finish eating it and pack it for you." ”
Wang Guohua smiled and carried the basket into the kitchen with Shen Linxian.
Shen Linxian came out of the kitchen, glanced in the courtyard, and called her aunt Shen Mei's eldest cousin: "Brother Zhou Yan, you kill the fish." ”
Zhou Yan threw the cigarette butt on the ground, got up and promised: "Okay, what else do you want to kill, take out a piece, I will solve it by the way." ”
I heard Shen Mei shouting in the house: "Zhou Lei, come over and stew the chicken, don't be idle outside." ”
Zhou Lei reluctantly got up and went into the kitchen, Shen Linxian smiled, watching Zhou Yan take the fish out and start disemboweling, she was not idle, turned around and went into the kitchen to help.
Several people in the kitchen were busy, some were preparing meat dishes, some were preparing vegetarian dishes, selecting vegetables, washing vegetables, cutting meat, each had a division of labor, Shen Linxian and Wang Guohua shared the work of peeling garlic, and the two of them took a few heads of garlic and squatted aside to peel and talk.
Shen Zhu cut the meat and looked back at Shen Linxian: "Linxian, what did your grandmother call us to do?" Why is it so pompous, I didn't make such good dishes for the New Year. ”
Shen Linxian smiled: "It's a good thing, my grandmother will definitely announce it when we eat, you, just put your heart in your stomach, and concentrate on eating and drinking for a while." ”
Shen Zhu smiled: "I still don't know the bottom in my heart, the main reason is that your grandmother is not such a generous person, and after eating her food, I don't know what to ask us to do." ”
As soon as she said this, Shen Mei and Shen Ju also beat the drum in their hearts.
Shen Linxian lowered his head and peeled the garlic: "Anyway, my milk is reluctant to sell you, what are you afraid of?" ”
That's the same, they are all mothers and sons, at most, they are asked to do more work, what else can they do?
There are many people who come to the Shen family today, and one table of noodles can't fit at all, so Ji Qin prepared two tables of noodles and set up two round tables, and when the food was served, the adults sat at one table and the children sat at one table.
Qian Guifang sat in the middle, and she took a wine glass: "I called you here today because I have a big event to say, this matter can be said to be the biggest thing in our family, and I have been looking forward to it for more than 40 years......
Speaking of this, Qian Guifang was happy and sad at the same time, her eyes were red, and many tears fell out of her eyes.
Shen Ju had the most anxious temper, and stood up suddenly: "Mother, what's the matter, why are you crying, is someone bullying you?" ”
Qian Guifang stretched out her hand and pressed: "Sit down, don't speak, listen to me." ”
Two tables, there were so many people sitting around, everyone's eyes all looked at Qian Guifang, Qian Guifang took a sip of wine and sighed: "This thing has to start from more than 40 years ago, when I was pregnant with my fourth child, I was about to give birth, I didn't think about dystocia, I desperately gave birth to a baby and fainted for me, I didn't know that it was a stillborn baby......"
"Ahh
Speaking of this, the people at both tables exclaimed in surprise, and even Brother Shen Weiguo, who rushed home for lunch, was frightened.
Shen Jianguo shouted: "What about my father?" ”
Qian Guifang glared at him, and he didn't dare to say anything more for an instant.
Qian Guifang continued: "Not only is it a dead baby, but also a girl, your father was uncomfortable at that time, and he was afraid that I would see that he was going to die or live, so he wanted to bury the child first......"
So many people in the Shen family sat around listening to Qian Guifang talk about those old things, and listened to her say slowly: "Lin Zi's mother is a good person, she has been raising Lanzi as her own for so many years, and she is good to Lanzi, she and Lanzi both want to find their relatives, she wants to find her son, Lanzi wants to kiss her mother, how many years have the two of them been looking for it, and finally the sky has eyes, so they can find it." ”
Speaking of this, Qian Guifang pointed at Shen Linxian: "Linxian still has the ability, knowing this matter, he went to the United States for a while, and also met Lin Zi's mother-in-law, and when he saw Lanzi, he said that he would accompany Ms. Zhu Xue to visit relatives at our house after a while." ”
After Qian Guifang finished speaking, most of the people in the Shen family couldn't wake up.
First is Shen Mei, Shen Mei knew that Shen Laoshi had changed the child back then, but she didn't know that her own sister was born dead, and when she heard the truth of the matter, she couldn't help crying: "I, why didn't I think that my father thought that the fourth sister was a girl, so he took it out and changed his son, but I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that the fourth sister was born with a fake death......"
Others just felt dizzy, as if they were listening to the Arabian Nights.
After a long time, Qian Qingwen asked Qian Guifang tentatively: "Mother, according to what you mean, our family has relatives abroad?" ”
Qian Guifang nodded: "Yes." ”
"Luckily." Qian Qingwen let out a sigh: "If people had known about this matter a few years ago, our family would have been criticized, but now it's okay, there are foreign relatives now, and it's ...... much."
Shen Ju slapped Qian Qingwen on the body: "What is this called, what is not beautiful, that is my own sister, she is asking for food now, and she has to take care of it." ”
"Yes, yes." Qian Qingwen hurriedly laughed: "I don't have any bad intentions, but who doesn't want to have a better life at home." ”
Zhou Jun, as the boss, played a key role at this time, and the first thing he asked was: "Mother, how do you arrange for Lin Zi's mother and Lanzi to come back?" How do we receive it, you have to get an idea quickly. ”
He took a look at the courtyard of his house, as well as the rooms: "It stands to reason that our house is too many, but the house is too old and the conditions are not good. ”
"Yes, yes." Wang Qing also agreed with Zhou Jun's words: "The eldest brother-in-law is right, our conditions are like this, I'm afraid that Lanzi and they won't be used to it." ”
This really reminded Qian Guifang, originally Qian Guifang was very happy and sad, she didn't expect these details at all, but now that Zhou Jun and Wang Qing brought it up, she was really worried: "What can I do?" They won't be here in a few days, and the existing house won't be able to catch up, but the conditions in our village ......."
