"Bao Meizi, Bao Meizi?" There was a shout from the courtyard of Sister-in-law Xie. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Yunbao found a clay pot and boiled the herbs that Hou Hai brought back, and then went to wash the dishes, and while washing the dishes, she heard Sister-in-law Xie calling out to herself, she was busy drying her hands and opening the door and leaving the house.
"Sister, I heard Hou Xiaozi say that your man is injured, is it serious?" Aunt Xie asked Li Yunbao with concern.
"It's not a big deal, I'm really embarrassed to bother my sister-in-law to come and see you, this must be Brother Xie, right?" Li Yunbao led Sister-in-law Xie into the room and asked who the man next to Sister-in-law Xie was.
"Hehe, yes, he's my man." Sister-in-law Xie replied heartily.
Led Brother Xie, Sister-in-law Xie, Dongshan, and Beishan to the middle room, let them sit on the kang, and go to the kitchen to make tea.
Xing'er saw that her sister was busy, so she got off the kang with great eyesight, and also came to the kitchen to wash the dishes that Li Yunbao had not finished washing just now.
Thinking that he didn't buy tea here, he quietly took out some of the sparrow's tongue collected in the Shen Mansion, boiled the water and brewed two cups of tea and brought them to the house.
Before entering the middle room with a tray, I listened to Aunt Xie sitting on the side of the kang and talking to Xing'er who had washed the dishes.
A few steps closer to bring the tea to Brother Xie and Sister-in-law Xie, put down the tray and pulled the kang table with the box in front of Dongshan and Beishan, and let the two brothers eat by themselves, You're welcome, Beishan unceremoniously grabbed two large handfuls and put them in his pocket, Dongshan was embarrassed to grab a piece of red bean cake in his hand and didn't stretch out his hand again.
Sister-in-law Xie saw that her youngest son was so unkind, so she stepped forward and slapped Beishan on the back of the head, "Do you have a look?" Is this a guest? What about the rules that my mother taught you?"
Li Yunbao hurriedly stepped forward to stop, "Sister-in-law is fine, don't fight, this thing is put out for the New Year to eat, what are you doing beating the child!" And Beishan is still young, don't all children love to eat, like my brother An'er is a snack, I don't fight, my sister-in-law can eat is a blessing!"
"Hehe, the one who listens to the girl, I'll spare him today." said that the movements in her hand stopped, but she still glared at Beishan fiercely with her eyes.
"Brother Xie and sister-in-law, please drink tea, come and eat some melon seeds." Li Yunbao greeted warmly.
"This tea is so fragrant, it must be good tea!" Xie Xiaodan on the side sighed as he drank tea over there.
"Eh, don't say that this tea is not good, but it is much better than the tea foam we bought at home, thief fragrance, little egg, you see that this tea leaves are floating in the water and looks good!" Sister-in-law Xie also commented.
Li Yunbao looked at the husband and wife in front of him, they were all honest civilians, it is estimated that they have never drunk such a good tea in their lives! Looking at their appearance, Li Yunbao couldn't laugh at their vulgarity and ignorance, she just longed for her own era at this time.
In the era in which she lived, there was no such great disparity in status, and as long as the common people were willing to work, they would be able to live a prosperous and stable life, enjoy education, have good medical resources, and have no war or class.
Li Yunbao, who was in the Great Holy Dynasty, felt that it was heaven at this time!
"Girl, girl!"
Sister-in-law Xie's shouting interrupted Li Yunbao's thoughts, and seeing that she came back to her senses, Sister-in-law Xie asked again, "Sister, where is Brother Shen?" But it's a break?"
"Well, I drugged him and he fell asleep." Li Yunbao couldn't bear to wake up the man, so he said that his body didn't move.
"Oh, oh, then let him have a good rest, and when Brother Shen is in good spirits, I will let you Brother Xie come to visit him again."
After a pause, Sister-in-law Xie said, "Also, I didn't have anything good, so I took some eggs to replenish Brother Shen's body, Bao Meizi, don't shirk it, otherwise you just look down on us." As she spoke, she handed Li Yunbao the basket she had been carrying since she entered the door.
Li Yunbao didn't postpone it when she heard what she said, thinking about taking the opportunity to return it. Isn't this how people come and go, and people have to remember.
She brought the basket to the kitchen and put all the eggs in an urn, a full thirty eggs, which was forty-five yuan according to the price she bought for the New Year.
Thinking that the Xie family was not wealthy, Li Yunbao cut the meat he bought for the New Year and put it in the basket as a return gift.
"Daughter-in-law, Brother Shen is resting, why don't we go home first?"
Xie Xiaodan, a big man, couldn't sit still in the pile of women and children, and opened his mouth to please Sister-in-law Xie.
Sister-in-law Xie looked at her husband and thought that her husband hadn't slept all night! Your own man will feel distressed, so next time I come to visit the patient, I will go home today and let my man have a good rest.
Thinking of this, Sister-in-law Xie got up and said goodbye when she saw Li Yunbao coming into the house.
"Sister Bao, if there is something in my sister-in-law's house, I won't bother you, and we will come back when Brother Shen is more energetic!"
"Then sister-in-law, I won't keep you any longer, and when my Anan is better, I'll invite you to come to the house for dinner." She also politely replied.
Dongshan saw his mother say goodbye and hurriedly got off the kang to put on his shoes, and when he saw that his younger brother was still eating on the kang, he stepped forward to pull him, "It's time to go home, you hurry down and put on your shoes." ”
Beishan was dragged by his brother to the edge of the kang before reluctantly putting on shoes, what is there to do at home, what is like Aunt Bao's house, there is a little brother to accompany him to be happy, and there are so many delicious foods that he can only see but can't eat before, he doesn't want to go home.
Beishan, who had no choice, could only follow behind his brother and parents with his head down, and went out reluctantly.
When she arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Li Yunbao handed her back Sister-in-law Xie's basket, and as soon as the basket was in hand, Sister-in-law Xie felt that the weight was wrong, and when she lifted the coarse cloth covering it, she saw a piece of meat.
"Sister, how can this work, what do you mean I'll take a few eggs and look at Brother Shen, you really give me so much meat, you are ashamed of me!" Aunt Xie stared at Li Yunbao and said a little angrily.
"Good sister-in-law, this is our rule, guests can't let people go out with empty baskets when they come to the door, I only have this meat and chicken in my house, if you don't want meat, it's okay, I'll replace it with a chicken for you." Li Yunbao said with a smile.
Sister-in-law Xie was suddenly speechless for Li Yunbao's words, what did she say? Don't you want meat and other people's chickens?
Seeing that Sister-in-law Xie was still in a daze, Li Yunbao pushed her out of the courtyard gate, "Okay, my good sister-in-law, you better go home quickly." ”
He turned around and stopped Dongshan and Beishan, and handed the red envelopes that had been prepared in his sleeves to the two children respectively.
"The New Year's money given by Aunt Bao, don't want it, be good."
Dongshan was originally reluctant to accept it, but seeing Li Yunbao's somewhat serious face, the hand holding the red envelope paused in mid-air, and Beishan next to him was smiling like a little mouse, and secretly hid the red envelope in the placket on his chest.
The Xie couple who were opening the door and entering their house in front of them were unaware of the incident behind them, if they knew, they didn't know if they would have to blame each other again.
