Chapter 18: Envy
It makes the girl feel very envious, as if she saw the young teachers she had seen in her previous life, the girl herself is actually only a teenager, but she is already a mother of two children, and the mentality is of course incomparable with these unmarried girls, but the girl feels that Xiaocao's thinking is very problematic, that is, she has been busy with family affairs in the past few days since she got married, and after being busy for a while, she must find a time to ask her what she thinks, and when everyone goes to the old house to eat at noon, I will tell you first, you don't forget, I will come over and call you again in a while, the girl said a few words to Xiaoqing and Xiaocao, and the two of them nodded, Sister, don't worry, we all remember.
The girl only turned around and walked towards her grandmother's house at this time, and this time she came back to see if the children were obedient at home?
In addition, because there was a lack of a small hammer to make meatloaf in the old house, he came to his aunt's house to borrow it, and after he came to his grandmother's house and got the hammer from his aunt, the girl said where was his aunt and cousin?
Uncle pointed to the room, he was talking to your brother, the girl laughed, then I will go to see the two of them, cousin's room, I saw the eldest brother and cousin The two of them are sitting there, and there are two booklets on the table in front of them, the eldest brother is introducing this booklet to the cousin, the cousin is already full of excitement, when the girl walked in, she happened to hear the conversation between them, it turned out that this booklet is written by a very powerful teacher in the academy where the eldest brother is now, it is he who summarized the exam questions over the years, and wrote out his own experience, which is a rare thing, Those students who are anxious to take the exam are very eager to get such a booklet, of course the cousin is the same, this time the eldest brother actually brought this thing back to him, he has already been very happy to take it, tightly held it in his hand, as if holding some treasure, the eldest brother said, I am really embarrassed, this is not that person's handwriting, but I borrowed it from someone else and copied it down, but the cousin shook his head, Brother Lin, you can help me get this booklet, I am already very excited, now if this thing is in our school, I am afraid it will be the first one, The eldest brother laughed slightly, then since this is the case, you keep yourself to look slowly, you must think carefully, if there is anything you don't understand, ask me, the two of us can study it together, the cousin nodded, I know it, I will remember it in my heart, but he couldn't wait to open the book directly, the eldest brother stood up and just wanted to say goodbye and leave, but someone knocked on the door gently, the two of them followed the sound and looked over, and saw the girl standing at the door smiling, I want to come and see you, and you are saying hello, does it affect you, the cousin immediately shook his head and said, sister, come in and sit, I will pour you a cup of tea, but the girl waved her hand at him, you don't have to be busy, I will leave at once.
Wait a while to go to the old house to help them, you just stay at home and read well, I'll come back when I'm free, the eldest brother nodded when he heard this, and after seeing the girl leave, the eldest brother said to his cousin, I'm going home now, and you go to me when there's something, so he went out and caught up with the girl, sister, I'll go to the old house with you, the girl laughed, do what you want to do, what are you going to do there?
Since the two elder brothers are going to get married, then I, the younger brother, of course, hope to help them, the girl laughed, it's really rare that you can have this heart, that's good, it's not good for the body to always stay in the room, you go shopping with me, the girl stood there as she spoke, still stretched out her hand to the eldest brother as if she was a child, the eldest brother was stunned, and then laughed, sister, I am already so old now, if you take my hand and walk into the village again.
That will be seen by others will laugh at me, he said very shyly, although when he saw his sister, he really wanted to hold his hand, as when he was a child, this is the most down-to-earth thing he felt in his childhood, but he has now grown into an adult, and he must also pay attention to these influences, hearing the words of the eldest brother, the girl was also stunned for a moment, and then smiled and took her hand back, you look at the way I still treat you as a child, but I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye you are already a teenager, and you will soon grow into an adult, he said while walking in front of the eldest brother, Looking at the eldest brother in front of him who was so much taller than himself, he suddenly asked in surprise, why are your dark circles so heavy?
Didn't you sleep all night last night?
Is it because I just got home and didn't get used to it?
When asked about this, the eldest brother immediately said, because he drank a little more tea before going to bed last night, so he delayed the time to sleep, and the girl took over directly, and the eldest brother looked at him in surprise, sister, how do you know?
Didn't you sleep well last night?
I won't be like this, it's Xiaocao, she also has a big dark circle under her eyes now, I asked him when I came from home just now, his answer turned out to be exactly the same as yours, you see that the two of you actually said the same excuse, this is called not a family does not enter the door, the eldest brother has already been very embarrassed, and he has an embarrassed expression on his face all the way, but he is also thinking about things in his heart, what is going on, is it not only himself who didn't sleep well last night, but also Xiaocao?
But why didn't that girl sleep well?
I just drank too much tea as an excuse to perfunctory my sister, but I don't know if Xiaocao really drank too much tea, or for some other reason, the eldest brother suddenly had a little absent-mindedness, for the emotions that are difficult to explain in his heart, so that when he came to the old house, everyone saw that when he came over, they all gathered around to compliment him, although he said that he was perfunctory to everyone, but his mind was obviously not here, and the girl on the side had already seen his absent-mindedness, and found an excuse to send him to the eldest brother's room, helping him write couplets together, everyone was constantly busy, The men went to the relatives' houses to borrow tables and benches, the women went to these rural homes to borrow the dishes and chopsticks needed for tomorrow's happy events, everyone was busy there all the time, and it was finally a temporary end when the lights were lit at night, and these women who came to help After dinner, they went back to their homes to rest, and the last ones who insisted on the last were of course the daughters-in-law and these girls in the family, but the cousin and cousin both had big stomachs now, but the two of them did not hesitate to join the busy team and do their part, especially the cousin, Because the two women who marry in tomorrow are her concubines, so he has been persisting from noon to evening, even if he is so tired that he can't stand on his feet and doesn't speak, the old woman came to the kitchen and said to everyone, you are all very tired today, hurry up and go home to have a good rest, tomorrow is the most important day, everyone must work together to get busy tomorrow After everyone can relax, the mother and the fifth aunt quietly exchanged a look, everyone was surprised, it was really unimaginable to be able to hear such thoughtful and caring words from the old woman's mouth, it seems that this time the old woman is really happy, his eldest grandson is about to marry, and there is a grandson who is also going to marry the stepfamily, these two granddaughters-in-law married in the family and added Ding imports, this family is becoming more and more prosperous, the mother said, thank you for your concern, we are going back after we pack up these things, the old woman nodded, turned around and walked out of the kitchen, this eye has been invisible for a long time, so I have been used to the dark, looking at the natural old woman walking in the yard, everyone is constantly sighing, here the mother said to the fifth aunt, the two children in the family, the fifth brother is probably not able to take care of him alone, you will give it to me, You go home first, but the fifth aunt shook her head, the third sister-in-law, my house is behind this, you and the girl and Bing'er go home first, there is still a long distance from here to your house, I don't care if any of you go back or not, I am already so tired that I can't stand, the fourth aunt on the side yawned and said, I must go home first to rest, otherwise I will definitely not be able to do anything tomorrow, I will go first, he turned around and escaped while talking, and returned to his own home to rest, here the mother finally failed to beat the fifth aunt, so she could only take the girl and her cousin back together, in the room of the eldest brother at the entrance of the villageThe room was still as quiet as ever, a candle was lit on the table, the light in the room was not very bright, the eldest brother was just sitting next to the table, still holding a book in his hand as before and looking through the candle carefully, his feet were also placed in a basin, the basin was full of hot water, and some medicinal herbs were put in the hot water, if you use these things to soak your feet in winter, I heard that it is very good for your body, but the cost of these medicinal materials is definitely not low, the eldest brother didn't want to use these things, but the mother and the girl jointly gave him a mandatory order to soak his feet with these medicinal materials, He didn't want to live up to his mother and sister's love for him, so he could only soak his feet here while reading a book, Xiaocao was still there to make the bed for him, flatten the sheet, and not let there be a little wrinkle on it, and then flatten the quilt, and put the hot water bag that had been filled with hot water into the quilt, so that the quilt could be heated up in advance, and if he waited until the eldest brother came to rest, the bed would not be very cold, and after he had done all this, Xiaocao couldn't help but look back at the eldest brother quietly, and found that the eldest brother was still reading very seriously there, and did not look at himselfSo he quietly took the pillow away again, but why was the flower he saw under the pillow yesterday missing?
Could it be that Brother Da Lin put it away himself?
Is he still afraid that he will feel embarrassed when someone else finds out, so he will put away the flower?
Xiaocao was full of loss while thinking about it, feeling that he had been alienated, this feeling made him very sad, as if he was like an outsider in his eyes, Brother Da Lin, is this water going to be cold?
I'll help you wipe your feet, you go to bed, Xiaocao asked while walking over, the eldest brother nodded and said to Xiaocao, I can wipe it off by myself, you can help me get a sock, it's all in the cabinet, Xiaocao smiled and nodded, where are these things she can find even if she closes her eyes, you know, it's up to you to help Dalin Dali these clothes, he immediately walked to the side of the cabinet, opened the cabinet door, and saw neatly folded clothes, so he picked up a pair of socks casually, and saw that there was a flower he saw last night, he was stunned, no wonder he didn't see this flower in bed, It turned out that Brother Da Lin hid the flowers here, hiding so carefully, it seems that Brother Da Lin is really quite fond of the owner of this flower, she secretly thought in her heart, she could only forcibly endure the unhappiness in her heart, pretending not to see, just closed the cabinet door, took the socks to Brother Da Lin's side, handed the socks to him, and then bent down to pick up the basin and turned around and left the room, the eldest brother didn't care about wearing socks, just put them on directly with bare feet, shoes, strode to the side of the cabinet and opened the cabinet door and saw that the flower was still there, he felt very puzzled, what is going on with this girl?
