The couple looked at each other, stunned, and hurriedly reached out to help, "What are you two doing here?" Hurry up and ......"

Shiro hung his head and didn't move, and his voice was a little choked, "Daddy and Niang did something wrong, and we will make amends for Daddy and Auntie for the third uncle and three aunts." ”

Shi Niang didn't move, big tears rolled down, "Third uncle, third aunt, we don't know, daddy and mother...... Sorry ......"

The couple looked at each other again, understood what the two children probably knew, sighed, and pulled the children up from the ground one by one, "Silly child, this is an adult's business, what does it have to do with you, hurry up." ”

"It's related!" Shiro was stubborn, "The second sister, the third sister and the eleventh mother are almost ...... Almost...... If we stop our parents, they ......."

Shi Niang wiped her tears, "Eighth sister, I'm sorry, we don't know ......"

"Eleven Niang, the fourth brother can't stand you!" Shiro's eyes were also red, and the water in his eyes swayed.

Banniang glared at the two of them with red eyes, and snorted Don't start.

Eleven Niang smiled, "Fourth brother, I'm fine, you see......"

"Who said it's okay, it's okay!" Banniang turned her head, and all the grievances broke out instantly, crying and shouting, "If it weren't for Eleven Niang learning boxing and kicking with her grandfather for a few days, she would have been bullied by the bad ruffians assigned to the county master's family!" Without...... If she hadn't run to save the second sister and the third sister, they would have died, why would they be okay? Why will it be fine......"

Dafang lives in the town for a long time, and the relationship between Sanfang and Dafang is only a few times a year, and the relationship between adults is not commented, but among several children, Banniang and Shiniang are very able to speak, Shiro is a person with a cool personality, and when he was a child, he took Banniang and Eleven Niang to climb trees and touch eggs in the wild, and therefore, the relationship between the two and the children in Sanfang has always been closer.

"Banniang...... Luo called her daughter, Banniang cried and blurred her eyes, raised her hand stubbornly with the back of her hand and hula, "...... It was easy to save the second sister and the third sister back, but your father and mother also instigated my father to force my father to send the second sister and the third sister to Fucheng, and still took the deed of sale of the second sister and the third sister and refused to give it...... Your father and mother are bad! Why should I let my family help him, I don't think about it for the rest of my life! ”

Shi Niang shook her head, they don't know, they really don't know! Daddy and mother hid everything from them, if they hadn't come back this time and heard gossip and went to an insider to inquire, I was afraid that they would still be kept in the dark.

Shi Niang cried and wanted to pull Banniang's hand, but was thrown away by Banniang, "Eighth sister, I'm sorry ......"

"I'm sorry I don't want you, what did you do when my family needed you? Can an excuse be exchanged for the sins suffered by my second sister, third sister and eleven mother? ”

Shi Niang couldn't cry, "...... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Eighth Sister. ”

“…… Seeing that my family had just had a good life, I began to calculate the hard-earned money my family earned! Why don't they make money themselves, they all want to sell my family, why do they still have the face to ask for my family......"

"Ba Niang!" Roche snorted, "Don't talk nonsense!" ”

Banniang choked up from crying, and looked at Luo with tears in her eyes, "Why didn't my mother let me say it, their father and mother did something wrong, why can't I say it?" I'm biased to say! We got four acres of land when we split up, and we were kicked out of the house on a cold day, if it wasn't for the kind people in the village to send things, our family would have to freeze to death! Who harmed it? Banniang raised her hand and pointed at Shiro and Shi Niang, "It's their father and mother who colluded with the big family in the old mansion to harm our family!" ”

Roche's eyes were red with sadness, and he let out a long sigh.

"Third uncle, third aunt......" Shiro knelt on the ground with a puff, the teenage boy's eyes were red and scary, and tears kept falling, "I'm sorry." ”

He also complained that what the third uncle said to his father was not good, if this kind of thing were replaced by him, he would definitely go to the door, and he would never come back again in his life!

Daddy and mother...... How can this be done...... Things!

Xia Chenghe glanced at his wife and the excited Banniang, his eyes were also a little moist, and he went up to help Shiro up, "Shiro, hurry up, these things have nothing to do with you, it's not your fault, get up, come and ......"

Roche took a clean handkerchief and gave it to him, "Good boy, your eyes are hurt, don't you dare to cry like this, be careful of your broken eyes......"

Eleven Niang took Banniang's hand and comforted, "Eighth sister, you don't know what kind of people the fourth brother and the tenth sister are, they must not have known in advance, otherwise how would they have thought of notifying us, what do you think about when you were a child?" ”

Zhao's sister-in-law's sister-in-law's son, three years old was pushed off the wall and broke his leg, the big house accepted the benefits of his sister-in-law, and wanted to get Banniang over to be a child daughter-in-law, Shi Niang overheard, pulled Shiro to run home to report the news, walked for a full afternoon, and when he got home, he only said a few words and fell asleep tiredly.

That year, Banniang was eight years old, and Shi Niang and Shiro were only seven years old.

"Hmm...... "Banniang didn't know that Shi Niang and Shiro were good, otherwise they wouldn't have come to the house to make amends as soon as they knew the truth, but she felt uncomfortable, blamed them for not knowing, if they knew that they could notify their family in advance, she just couldn't faint and couldn't help anything at night, the father who hurt her was angry and vomited blood and injured her body, her mother was beaten a few times, and Eleven Niang and the second sister and the third sister suffered with it!

Eleven Niang sighed in her heart, hugged Banniang and gently patted her back.

"Eighth sister......" Shi Niang grabbed the corner of Banniang's clothes, crying and screaming......

A courtyard of low whining crying, I don't know how long it took, Banniang and Shi Niang hugged another pain, Banniang cried and said, "I, I hate your father, your mother ......"

By the time the two of them finally stopped crying, half an hour had passed.

The brother and sister ran out of hiding from Xia Chengping and the Zhao family, but they didn't dare to stay longer, so they hurriedly washed their faces and ran to the old house.

When she was about to arrive at the door of the old mansion, Shi Niang suddenly choked up and asked Shiro, "Fourth brother, father, father, mother, they really gave the second sister and them as gifts...... How do you think they are so ruthless? ”

Shiro raised his hand and clumsily wiped his sister's tears, "Shi Niang doesn't cry, Daddy and Mother they ......" One wanted to be an official and wanted to go crazy, and the other chased the official's wife and was enchanted by social circles

The wife of the official is enchanted by the circle of communication.

Shiro looked at his ordinary-looking sister, and suddenly rejoiced that his sister was not beautiful, otherwise, it would be difficult to guarantee that his father and mother would not have any crooked thoughts!

Isn't it more natural that they can sell their nieces and exchange their daughters for a bright future?!

In the hot weather of July, he suddenly felt cold, and his vest was soaked with cold sweat.

Zhao was walking around the door of the old mansion with a worried face, and when he saw the two of them from a distance, he walked over quickly, "Where are you two going......?"

Seeing the red eyes of the two of them, he was stunned, "What's wrong?" Who bullied you? ”

The two of them didn't start at the same time, Zhao looked stunned again, looked in the direction behind the two, and frowned for a moment, "You went to the third room?" Did they bully you? ”

Shiro said in a muffled voice, "I didn't go, Shi Niang was blinded by the wind and sand, and she was uncomfortable." Mother, let's go back first. Pull Shi Niang and let the Zhao family go to the old mansion.

Zhao caught up, "Why are you blinded by the sand?" Show my mother, is it a sand and a ......"

"No, I've blown it on her, and I'll be fine in a while. Mother, don't get in the way, let Shi Niang go back to sleep for a while......" The brother and sister walked fast, Zhao was helpless, let go to the side, and scolded angrily, "Little rabbit cub, I think my mother is in the way......"

watched the brother and sister go back, and muttered again, "Shi Niang's eyes are lost, why are Shiro's eyes red?" Could it be that the left eye is affecting the right eye? ”

Worried and chased after him.

The next day, after breakfast, the Sanfang family came to the old house, helped move the tables, chairs and stools, and placed the dishes and chopsticks.

The Zhao family was proud and wanted to show his face in front of his mother's sisters, and invited many mothers' family, but the congratulatory gifts he prepared were not shabby, but they were really not enough for so many people to eat, at least the old lady thought so.

Because of her maiden family, not only did her eldest brother Master Qiao come in person, but also gave ten taels of silver, a few muslin cloths and linen cloth, and a set of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone for each boy, and a dressing box for each girl, and no more than no less in the dressing box, and each person gave two silk flowers and a pair of silver lilacs.

The old lady couldn't close her mouth happily, and kept chanting, "Big brother is here, why are you still so polite?" That's a lot of money. ”

Qiao's family was poor in the early years, and they couldn't even afford the dowry when they married Mrs. Qiao, but for some reason, as soon as Mrs. Qiao came out of the cabinet, the family's situation gradually improved.

But helplessly, although Old Man Qiao earned this piece of family business, his only grandson ...... But it's a fool.

Fu Qi smiled and saluted beside him, "Hello aunt, good uncle." ”

The old lady put on a shelf and waved her hand, "Get up." ”

Old Man Xia nodded kindly, "Steward Fu has worked hard all the way. ”

Fu Qi stepped aside and talked to Old Man Qiao, "Master, the third aunt and cousin have separated from the aunt and grandmother here, this thing is ......"

"For the same part, you go for a run."

Everything is good, but there is no heirloom with a handle in the family, Old Man Qiao read a sentence of the third nephew, sighed pity, and ordered Fu Qi.

Fu Qi responded, confessed to Old Man Xia and Old Lady Qiao, and was about to exit the door, Old Lady Qiao suddenly counted the number of shares on the kang and stopped him, "Fu Qi, this number is wrong, is there a lack of three rooms?" ”

Fu Qi bowed and smiled, "Yes, I heard that the young master of my aunt and cousin and my aunt and grandmother have separated from each other, and the little one has been set aside in advance and is ready to be sent over alone." ”

"No, let's bring it all together. They have to be here for a day, and there will be no one to send them over now......" Old Lady Qiao waved her hand and motioned for Fu Qi to act obediently.

Fu Qi glanced at Old Man Qiao, Old Lady Qiao snorted, Old Man Qiao nodded at him, Fu Qi responded, "Yes." ”

He went out and brought in a piece of cloth and six lacquered red boxes with different patterns, and placed them on the kang.

Old Lady Qiao's eyes lit up, she first reached out and dragged the cloth over, touched it, and said with a smile, "This is a fine muslin cloth, where are they so precious." ”

As he spoke, he changed it to a linen cloth in front of Old Man Qiao, and several small boxes were also looked at one by one, and his mouth was higher than the mountain, but he didn't change it again, but he stacked them together and moved aside.

Old Man Qiao asked about the big house for the New Year's exam, knowing that the results were excellent, he smiled, and politely refused Old Man Xia's suggestion that he should let the big house come in first to give him a gift, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen these children for a long time, let them all come together to have a lively and lively life." ”

Old Man Xia persuaded him twice more, but Old Man Qiao blocked him, so he knew that it was not good to say more, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in his heart, and his tone was much lighter, "Then let them all come in and give a salute to Uncle Qiao." ”

Several rooms of mermaids rushed in, and the hall was full in an instant, Old Man Qiao greeted him with a smile one by one, leaving a few children to talk to his side, and one person divided two small silver bills, but it made everyone happy as if something, Banniang's eyes were still swollen, and he didn't even have eyes when he laughed.

Old Mrs. Qiao pursed her lips and glared, "Okay, the children's family, if you don't get the money, you will give the milk, and the milk will help you collect it." ”

"If you don't give it, you won't give it to me if you take it." Gorou yelled and ran out.

Old Mrs. Joe's face darkened.

San Lang looked at Siniang worriedly, and Siniang's face flashed helplessly.

Old Man Qiao glanced at Old Lady Qiao and smiled, "It's not worth a few dollars, let them play with it." Go, all go out. ”

San Lang's eyes immediately lit up, and Siniang also showed a smile, smiled at Eleven Niang and Eight Niang, and walked out of the hall with San Lang.

Old Mrs. Qiao's face was not good-looking, but she didn't dare to refute Old Man Qiao's words, so she only muttered, "It......'s two taels if you add it together."

Eleven Niang is not a rare silver coin given by Old Man Qiao, but she likes him very much, and thanks him with Banniang, she will go out to help, listen to him call herself, "Eleven girl." ”

Eleven Niang turned around, "Uncle." ”

Father. ”

Old Man Qiao smiled gently, and pointed to the stack of boxes on the kang, "Let's see, my uncle doesn't have daughters or granddaughters at home, and I don't know what your girls like, see if you like it?" ”

said, and deliberately pointed out the six boxes for Eleven Niang and Eight Niang to see.

Old Mrs. Qiao's face was even more ugly, she didn't want to move when she was sitting, and she was glanced at by Old Man Qiao before turning sideways to the side, Eleven Niang was very surprised to look at Old Man Qiao, her family had rejected Qiao Mai's marriage before, although Old Man Qiao didn't blame, but he didn't have any contact on weekdays, and he was like this today...... Is it a special treatment?

Banniang was also a little inexplicable, and pulled Eleven Niang.

"What? Are you afraid that your uncle will not be able to deceive you? These are specially brought back to you by my uncle from the capital, if you like it, my uncle will help you bring them next time! Let's go and see ......" Old Man Qiao smiled kindly, but the word Beijing bit a little heavier.

Eleven Niang chuckled in her heart, and subconsciously met his gaze, Old Man Qiao clearly had a knowing smile in his eyes, Eleven Niang patted Banniang's hand and raised her foot forward.

Old Mrs. Qiao glared at Eleven Niang, but Eleven Niang looked at her, and directly moved the six boxes pointed out by Old Man Qiao to the side, and opened the top one first.

The small and delicate box is carved with plum blossoms on the outside, which is elegant and vulgar.

The box is divided into three layers, the first and second layers are respectively placed with a silk flower, and the bottom layer is placed with a piece of silk cloth, which is wrapped with a pair of clove earrings.

Banniang also looked at the pair of lilac earrings in surprise, her eyes were full of love.

"Uncle Xie, Eleven Niang and Eighth Sister like it very much."

Master Qiao smiled and nodded, "Okay, just like it." Now that you are here, take all your things back, lest your father and mother be too tired and leave them behind. ”

"Big brother, they still have to go out to help, I can't lose these things first...... "Where is the old lady Qiao willing, the silver coin is already cheap for them if she doesn't want to come back, and she still wants to take these away, but there is no door."

Banniang immediately answered, "The chef said that let's let the children go far and play wherever they want, don't make trouble for them, we just happen to be fine at this time." ”

Old Mrs. Qiao glared at her, and Banniang held her neck and did not bow her head.

Old Man Xia's face was not good-looking, and his eyes fell on Banniang and Eleven Niang with a faint coldness.

"Who said it's okay, are the tables and chairs arranged? Are the dishes and chopsticks set? ”

"It's set up early in the morning, and a lot of people are sitting and waiting to eat." Banniang replied.

"That'...... Go feed the chickens and ducks......"

"The fourth sister has already fed ......"

Old Mrs. Qiao opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Old Man Xia with a smile, "Okay, let the children take it if they want to, and you can just say no to the third child and his daughter-in-law when you go back." ”

Mrs. Qiao didn't know what she thought, so she suddenly smiled, looking very reluctant to worry about them, "Look at you poor and sour, as if you haven't seen anything good, hold things and leave quickly." ”

Banniang smiled, went up and hugged a few boxes and stuffed them into Shi Niang's arms, and then dragged the muslin pointed out by Old Man Qiao, and Old Lady Qiao smashed her mouth in distress.

"You can't hold this cloth, you can't hold ......"

Banniang hugged the cloth on her shoulders and laughed twice at Mrs. Qiao, who was choking, "Grandpa, grandma, let's send things home and come back for dinner." ”

Eleven Niang pursed her lips and smiled, holding the box full of arms and looking at Old Man Qiao, Old Man Qiao smiled and waved his hand, "Go quickly, let your sisters take a look, whether you like the little things sent by your uncle or not." ”

The sisters happily carried things out of the hall, and Gorou pounced to grab it, but was bounced on the wrist by a stone from Eleven Niang, and grinned in pain.

Shiro immediately came up and pulled Gorou aside, motioning for them to leave.

Luo and Xia Chenghe looked at each other in surprise when they saw what the sisters were holding, but they didn't have time to say a few words, so they were called by the chef to help.

Not far out of the old house, Shi Niang and Shiro caught up, Shi Lang took the cloth on Banniang's shoulder, Shi Niang helped Shi Niang take two boxes, and went back to the third room.

After entering the house, they put down their things, and several people washed their hands and faces, and sat down together to rest.

Eleven Niang thought of Old Man Qiao's expression when he encouraged her to look at the box, and the word "capital" that was deliberately emphasized, so she left three people, and one of them went to the inner room and began to look through the box.

The silk flowers were taken out one by one, and the cloth bag of silver lilacs was carefully taken out and put aside, and the box was turned upside down, and there was nothing left.

She thought she was wrong, but when the lilac bag at the bottom of the fourth box came out, it was actually under the silk cloth under the cloth bag......

There's a letter hidden!

The envelope was sealed with wax, and a few words were written on Juanxiu, "Father and mother opened it personally." ”

Eldest sister!

Eleven Niang pinched the letter in surprise and opened her mouth to call Banniang.

"Eleven Niang, what are you doing?" Banniang poked her head in, saw the silk flower lilac bag full of kang, ran in with a smile, touched a yellow spring flower, and said happily, "What a beautiful flower, Eleven Niang, look at ......"

"Eighth sister, look, what is this?" Eleven Niang held up the letter in her hand and shook it.

Banniang was stunned, "What? Whose faith is this? ”

Eleven Niang raised her eyebrows, but she was not in a hurry to tell Sù Banniang, she had to wait until the evening to watch it with her father, Eleven Niang took the letter into her arms, patted it, and looked indifferent, "Who else can it be, the eldest young master of the Su family urged me to go back and make food for him!" ”

Banniang pouted, "The eldest young master who picks the door!" Not going back. By the way, Shi Niang said that she had learned a lot of tricks, and she went back to change embroidery with the second and third sisters, do you want to follow ......

Shi Niang hurriedly shook her head, she grabbed it with both hands, picked up the knife with her hand, and played hard work, but she couldn't pinch the embroidery needle! So, embroidery or something, don't look for her!

Banniang laughed as soon as she saw her expression, "I know that we both don't like embroidery." You go and tell her...... "Banniang pushed Eleven Niang out.

Walk.

The three girls plus one Shiro, who watched the excitement, were divided into two sides on the topic of whether girls learn to embroidery, and they tore up.

It wasn't until noon that the sound of firecrackers was faintly heard, and the four of them jumped to the old house in a panic.

The table of the Eight Immortals in the courtyard was full, a group of children were screaming, the women were scolding, and the men were laughing.

There are a total of seven Eight Immortal Tables.

The six tables in the courtyard were borrowed from the village, and the Eight Immortal Tables in the hall for the old lady's eldest brother were obtained by Old Man Xia when he had just separated them from his family.

Zhao's mother's family almost sat on three tables of eight immortals, the mother's family in the second room sat at one table, the mother's family in the fourth room made up a table and a half, the children in a few rooms sat with relatives in several rooms, and Zhao's sister-in-law saw Shiro and Shi Niang, and called them over to sit with a smile.

Shi Niang looked back at Shi Niang, and Shi Niang smiled at her, "Go quickly, I will serve the food in a while......"

While talking, Xia Chenghe, Xia Chengping, and Xia Chengxiang came out of the big stove under the big tree in the courtyard with a rectangular tray, and the same four-color cold dishes were placed on the tray, garlic and cucumber, cold picking seedlings, shallots mixed with tofu, and raw shredded radish.

"Oh, there's something delicious!" The children's laughter became louder and louder, and Eleven Niang and Eight Niang turned around and didn't see Luo, and asked the busy Xia Chenghe, only to know that their mother was burning a fire in the stove room.

Banniang stomped her feet, "They are too bullying, so they know to let their father and mother work!" It's not like this, it's still like this when it's separated! ”

"It's okay, Dad is not tired at all, Dad also served dishes like this in the store, not the same work." Xia Chenghe comforted his daughter, the people in the old house are not looking for trouble, and he will not be okay to find trouble, but he is just doing some work, which is nothing.

"Daddy!" Banniang was annoyed, and what else to say, but was pulled by Eleven Niang, "Dad, you're busy, let's go see my mother." ”

"Eleven Niang, don't drag me, why do you want our father and mother to work, they sit there to eat and drink......"

Banniang's voice was very loud, and the Zhao, Jiang, and Huang who were eating with the big room, the second room, and the fourth room Niang's family all heard it, and the Huang family also looked at the Zhao family, and the Jiang family didn't raise his head, he lowered his head to feed his little nephew, and the younger siblings on her side chirped crookedly, "Tut, your three rooms are really breathless, look, one door and four rooms alone leaked their three-room mother's family, don't think about standing in front of us in the future......"

"I can't take your mouth even if I eat!" The man next to her glared at her, and sandwiched the little tofu on the plate in front of Jiang, "Sister, the tiger baby can't eat hard things, you feed her more tofu." ”

"Alas, second brother, you should leave some tofu for my daughter, she can't eat that toothy thing......"
