Aunt Lin took Lin Huaigui's hand and walked down a long corridor, and at the other end of the corridor, the two old aunts of the Lin family were anxiously looking forward to it.

Lin's mother married into the Lin family as a child daughter-in-law, and she was only eight years old when she married, while Lin Baoshan was eighteen years old that year.

At that time, Lin Baoshan was in poor health, he fell in love with his brother-in-law in the family fight, and he was bedridden for a year before he got sick.

Lin Mu's father Qi Zhengzhi is a generation of Confucianism, but his personality is too upright, he was stripped of his post and seized his official position within two years of being an official in Beijing, causing trouble to his fellow clans, being excluded by his family, and having no shame to stay in Beijing anymore, so he took his wife and daughter back to the ancestral countryside of Yizhou to make a living.

A year after Qi Zhengzhi returned to his ancestral hometown, Mrs. Qi died of illness, leaving behind Lin's mother, who was only seven years old at the time.

Lin's mother loved flowers since she was a child, and she lived in a simple house in the countryside, without being hugged by people, so she even needed to cook for her own meals, and less than a year, her mother died of illness and desire, but she planted two flower fields before and after the house.

When spring arrives next year, my mother is gone, but the flower field is full of purple and red.

Life should have gone on like this, but one day Qi Zhengzhi came back from giving lessons to the children in the village, but saw that his daughter's flower field was a wolf, and she was trampled to pieces, and it was no longer as brilliant as he had seen in the morning.

Qi Zhengzhi saw that his daughter was covered in mud, her hands were dirty, and even her face was covered with mud, and she was originally heartbroken and looked at the flower field blankly, but when she saw him come back, she said to him: "Daddy, it's okay, I'll plant it again tomorrow." ”

Only then did Qi Zhengzhi learn that someone in the village had come out to graze cows that trampled her ground and ate her flowers.

At night, the adults of the cattle herding took the rope and led the boy who had caused trouble to apologize, and beat the child to cry and call his mother loudly, and outside the cold wind without lighting the oil lamp, Lin Mu was washing her cotton clothes that had been soiled during the day with cold well water.

The boy's family apologized and left, Qi Zhengzhi looked at his daughter's hands full of chilblains under the light, and the old cotton jacket on her body, the official career collapsed, and the corners of the man's eyes were moist when his wife died, and he sighed, hugged his thin daughter into his arms, hugged her and slept for one night, and went to Yuzhou City the next day, and told his daughter to the Lin family.

At that time, Qi Zhengzhi was kind to Mrs. Lin, and Mrs. Lin also admired Qi Zhengzhi's upright bones, Qi Zhengzhi returned to his hometown and did not accept his relief.

Qi Zhengzhi knows a thing or two about the Lin family, he is not such a selfish person, his daughter enters the door, and he can't get a house for six or seven years, so he sold most of the calligraphy and paintings brought by Jingzhong, and bought two easy-to-raise maids for his daughter as a wedding maid.

These two old aunts were the two dowives who entered the door with Mother Lin back then.

They have never had children in their lives, and they are over fifty years old at this time, and the Lin family has finally had a daughter and a son in recent years, and they regard these two people as extremely important.

Seeing the two of them coming from afar, they were also relieved, and whispered anxiously to Aunt Lin and Lin Huaigui: "Go slower, be careful of the rain on the ground." ”

The Lin family has to repair the roof every two years, and there is no leakage in the house, and the two of them are also worried.

A stretch of road, but a few dozen zhang, Lin Huaigui walked two pillars of incense for a while, sweat all over his body, and the little fat forehead was covered with big sweat, as soon as they approached, the eldest aunt hugged the little fat man, and said distressedly: "It's all wet behind this, right?" Obediently suffered. ”

Aunt Lin shook her head, look, the family is so spoiled, the little fat man can learn to walk, I don't know how many sticks she has discounted, and she can't find her handy stick in Zhouzhou City.

"Okay, let's take it and change your clothes, I'll send it back later." Aunt Lin almost stomped her feet when she saw that the old aunt was worried, and ordered.

After her words, the eldest aunt quickly turned around and trotted away with him in her arms, walking like a fly, and her health was very good.

The second aunt saw that they were gone, came over to take Aunt Lin's hand, and whispered to her: "The master called your mother and Gui Niang over, and I don't know what to say." ”

"It's okay," Aunt Lin patted her hand, she was very close to the second aunt, this was a person who had slept with her in the same bed for two years and taken care of her for two years, except for not breastfeeding, everything else like a mother, she had done it, she treated the second aunt as a nurse, "There is me." ”

The second aunt looked at her and smiled, and nodded, "The second aunt knows." ”

When she entered the house, a maid came to take off her cloak and said to Aunt Lin: "Big lady, there has been a lot of rain these days, I'm afraid there will be a cold spring, you tell the people in your house not to clean up the winter wool cloak, and leave two pieces that you can use." ”

Today, none of the personal maids in Aunt Lin's house have come, if they come, knowing that the maids next to the eldest lady say such things, they have to secretly fly her eyes, scold her for what she can do, and how much she knows.

The maids in several rooms also don't look at each other a lot, and they don't play together.

"Ah Ya, they are all kept for me," Aunt Lin disagreed, took two sips of hot water handed over by another maid, and said with a smile: "It's all hairy, it makes my face itch, keep it." ”

Saying that, she entered the inner room, and after a few steps towards the inside, she heard Gui Niang's crying voice.

She walked in quickly, lifted the curtain to block the wind, and wondered, "What's the matter?" ”

Seeing her coming, Mrs. Lin, who was sitting on the chair, hurriedly stretched out her hand to her, and Mrs. Lin went over, put her hand in her hand, sat down with her mother's hand, and looked at her father and Gui Niang.

"Your father said that frustrating thing again...... "When the daughter came, Mrs. Lin dared to complain, and complained to her: "Say that you don't care about us anymore, and you won't protect us anymore." ”

"If he doesn't say a few words one day, he feels uncomfortable." Aunt Lin disagreed.

Lin Baoshan shouted injustice, "Daughter, you are right, how can my father be such a person?" ”

"You are." Aunt Lin pinched her fat father's fat hand, wondering why the little brother's pinch was soft and tender.

Then I looked up and saw her father's face full of horizontal meat, whose face was wider than the basin, and suddenly realized that it would be good if the old fat meat was not greasy, and it was soft and tender, which was also demanding.

Seeing that his daughter didn't give him any face, Master Lin was furious, "No, girl, I'm thinking about you and letting them all listen to you." ”

"Listen to me?" Aunt Lin scratched her face, "Dad, are you mistaken?" Huaigui is your own son, right? My mother is your wife, right? Aunties are your concubines, right? My son is not mine, and my wife and concubine are not mine, you think too much, don't think about pushing everything to me, drink your porridge honestly, and go back to bed and discipline your son and concubine. ”

Lin Baoshan was so angry that he pounded the bed, "I'm really not good, I really can't do it...... Why don't you believe me? I can't even drink the porridge now, I'm about to die, you unfilial daughter, I love you so much, you're going to be angry with me! ”

Aunt Lin smiled, turned back to the second aunt standing in front of the curtain and said, "Second aunt, you go to the kitchen and bring a bowl of fragrant meat." ”

The second aunt didn't know why, so she looked at them in confusion, but she still went obediently.

When the fragrant meat was served, Aunt Lin lifted the lid and put the meat bowl under Lin Baoshan's nose.

Since the second aunt brought meat into the room, Master Lin's nose has been jerking, and now he is panting like a cow, and even saliva is flowing down.

"Look," Aunt Lin knew that it wasn't a matter that she couldn't drink any porridge, she couldn't drink porridge, but she dared to say that her father could eat a few bowls of meat, even if she brought ten bowls, this old fat man could kill them all, she held the bowl and called her mother and Gui Niang, and the second aunt came to see: "Gluttonous!" ”

"Hehe, hehe." Aunt Gui was also swallowing her saliva and laughing.

I don't blame the master, I blame the fragrance.

Aunt Gui swallowed her saliva, and Master Lin's stomach was ringing non-stop, gurgling one after another, with Aunt Gui's swallowing saliva, the sound was ...... It's also absolute.

Aunt Lin's eyes widened, looking at Gui Niang, who was not angry.

Aunt Gui is also "close to Zhu Zhechi", she was still a beautiful little girl when she joined the Lin family, and now more than 20 years have passed, the beautiful little girl has become a rich concubine, and her face has become a fat apple after eating with Master Lin.

"It's weird." Aunt Gui laughed dryly twice and lowered her head weakly.

"Ugh." Aunt Gui was also about to overflow her saliva, and Mrs. Lin couldn't cry or laugh.

"Daughter," it's okay not to smell the fragrance, as soon as he smells the fragrance, the gluttonous worms in Lin Baoshan's stomach come out, he stared at the bowl in his daughter's hand with drool, "Daughter ......"

"Can you eat?"

"Eat, eat!"

"Won't you lose your appetite?"

"No, no!"

"Not dead?"

"It's not dead," Master Lin was about to cry, "son, give Daddy a bite to eat, just one bite, one bite." ”

"Want to eat?" Aunt Lin handed the meat bowl in front of him again.

"Yes." Old Man Lin was so hungry that he bit his mouth.

"Think beautifully, mother, you eat." Aunt Lin retracted suddenly, put the bowl in her mother's hand, and looked coldly at the old fat father who described her as if she wanted to cry or not, "Drink porridge, and make trouble with me again, you don't have to eat porridge, so you can drink the northwest wind." ”

When Master Lin heard this, he became angry, slapped the bed and shouted, "Stinky girl, I want to eat meat!" Unfilial daughter, you unfilial daughter, your father is not dead, you dare to be unfilial! ”

Aunt Lin looked at him with disdain, and plucked out her ears, the ancients were poor in words, and the words of scolding were either unfilial or unfilial - if her fat father didn't lose weight well, she would let him see the rich vocabulary of their modern people.
