11. Farmhouse courtyard
85_85374 sent away Wang Guihua, who was a matchmaker, and the family was not very happy, especially Liu Chunyan, whose eyes were red, but she was so suppressed that she didn't dare to come out.
She was wronged for her son.
In the past few years, she has entrusted a lot of matchmakers, but she always can't meet the right girl, and now Siyuan is 30 years old, and she wants to introduce him to a widow, her heart is bitter.
And she always felt that it was the poverty of the family that dragged down her son, and if she had money, she could send Siyuan to a big hospital for treatment, and his leg would not be lame. Or, if the family pays a bride price, the son will not be unable to marry a daughter-in-law.
Lin Jianshe also squatted in the corner, his expression was gloomy.
After a while, the joy of reuniting the whole family after a long absence was gone, and all that was left was heavy.
Lin Siyuan was also uncomfortable, but he didn't want to worry about his family, so he forced a smile: "Parents, Aunt Osmanthus, you don't know yet, it's an unreliable one, don't worry, I'm worried that I won't be able to marry a daughter-in-law, I'm only 30 years old, it's still early." ”
"Siyuan, it's my mother who is sorry for you." Liu Chunyan opened her mouth to say something, but she couldn't say any more.
"Mom, what did you say! I'm good, you raised me so big, just wait for me to be filial to you in the future! How many times have I said that I don't want to marry a daughter-in-law yet, and when I raise this flock of sheep and have money in my hands, I will renovate my family's house first, and then I will consider marrying a daughter-in-law, so don't worry about it. ”
"But you're 30......"
"30 is still young, don't believe it, ask my little sister, there are many 30-year-old girls in the city who don't get married."
Lin Jianshe and Liu Chunyan's eyes turned to Lin Siquan, Lin Siquan nodded, their expressions were not so ugly.
"Okay, my little sister finally came back today, but it's a great joy for our family! Mom, you hurry up to the kitchen to cook, this morning, she must be hungry. Dad, you go kill the chicken and give her stewed soup to drink. ”
With his arrangement, the two old men will not be sad if they are busy.
Liu Chunyan immediately got up and Zhang Luo: "Yes, yes, hurry up and cook for Siquan, Siquan, you sit outside with your brother." ”
Lin Siquan stood up, "Mom, I'll go to the kitchen to help you." ”
"No, no, the kitchen is dirty, you just sit outside, and if you want to drink water, let your brother pour it for you." After speaking, she went into the kitchen and got busy with Lin Jianjian.
Lin Siquan didn't go in, squatted under the peach tree in the courtyard, lowered his head, and was silent for a long time.
Lin Siyuan sighed, also squatted down next to her, reached out and touched her hair, "Little sister, don't be sad." ”
"Brother, you're not doing well at all." Her voice was muffled, as if she was about to cry.
"Don't think about it, we're not doing badly, we just haven't married a wife yet, and we can't rush it." Lin Siyuan pretended to comfort her easily, he didn't want Lin Siquan to know the truth at all, because the truth hurt people.
Lin Siquan still couldn't lift his spirits, and his thoughts were churning in his head.
"Get up, I'll take you around the yard, and see how much has changed over the years." Lin Siyuan pulled her up and introduced her around.
She also lifted her spirits and followed around to look around. In any case, the past is the past and cannot be changed, and she has to work hard to make her family live a good life in the future.
After ten years of leaving, the current Qiē in this family is strange to Lin Siquan.
In the past, there were only two houses in the family, but now they have been expanded by two to become a row of four rooms, and a large yard has been built. Because it is far from the village and there are no neighbors around, the yard of her house is quite large.
To the left of the front yard is a pigsty, and to the right is a row of fruit trees with peach, pear, and grape trees. It's spring, and the peach blossoms on the trees are particularly beautiful.
Lin Siquan looked around with great interest, she hadn't seen such a small farm yard for many years, and everything was fresh.
"Brother, the yard is really well tied."
"It's all cleaned up by my mother, these fruit trees are transplanted and grafted by my father from the mountains, you see the grapes, my father specially planted them for you, you liked to eat mountain grapes when you were a child, and my father always remembered that every autumn when the grapes were harvested, he had to leave a few bunches of the best, and no one was allowed to move, he specially left them for you."
What he didn't say was that every year these bunches of the best grapes were saved for the end, and no one came back to eat them, so they could only be slowly dried on the grape trellises, and finally pecked by the birds.
"That's great, then I'll be waiting to eat grapes this year." Lin Siquan pretended to be happy and said.
"You must like it, our grapes are the sweetest in the village, and there are many fruits, you look at this shelf, in autumn, there are all bunches below, and you can make some wine if you can't finish eating."
"Brother, do you make wine?" It was an unexpected surprise.
"I learned a little from the fifth master in the village, and there are still brewed ones at home, you can try it at noon."
"Yes, yes." Lin Siquan smiled and narrowed his eyes.
The two chatted and walked around the front yard, not even letting go of the two little piglets in the pigsty, and looked carefully and again.
"Brother, why are our piglets so small? Don't you know how to eat? "The little piglets are no more than 50 pounds by eye, and they are humming and chirping in the pigsty.
"Silly girl, you forgot about it if you didn't come back for a few years?" Lin Siyuan looked at her with disdain, "This is just caught in the spring, last year's pig was raised, and it was killed during the Chinese New Year." ”
Lin Siquan suddenly realized, "Oh yes, yes, I forgot to kill the New Year pig during the New Year!" ”
But immediately, she regretted that killing the New Year's pig was the best delicacy! She didn't catch up!
Lin Siyuan looked at her drooling and didn't understand anything?
"Don't worry, there is something for you to eat, and there is bacon at home, and my mother will definitely make it for you at noon."
"Hehe, it's better to be at home." She held her brother's arm, and her heart was peaceful.
Sure enough, it was right to come back.
The injuries suffered by the scumbag and the white lotus, as soon as they returned to this small courtyard and saw the smiling faces of their relatives, they were all healed immediately.
She doesn't feel bad at all now, only full of happiness
