Chapter Ninety-Seven: Back to My Mother's Home

Women from the north and south sat together, basking in the sun with their backs against the wall, chatting about what they thought was interesting.

A sister-in-law in Nandi said mysteriously: "I heard that the rich daughter-in-law moved her family to the old house that day, and she hasn't been with the old man for a year!" ”

A southland aunt followed, "Not really! I moved that day and divided everything overnight. Her mother's two older brothers and one younger brother helped until noon the next day. ”

There was a woman at the level of a lady who took over the conversation: "Hey! Now it's good to be in charge of your own affairs! I heard that when her brother and brother went back, they picked up a stone of rice and left. ”

The sister-in-law who started talking in front shook her head and said: "If you want to talk about the daughter-in-law of our generation in the Wang family, the most powerful is Xiaohu's daughter-in-law, and the smartest is the daughter-in-law who wants to be a son." ”

"Oh! What do you say? ”

The sister-in-law raised her head quite smugly and said, "Xiaohu's daughter-in-law is amazing, you don't need to say it, you can see it." If you want to say that you want your daughter-in-law to be smart, you won't know if you're afraid.

I said she's smart! It's her who is busy working for her mother's family, she can not only be busy with her mother's family, but also the appreciation of her in-laws, this is not a smart person, what is it? ”

An aunt in the north interjected: "We don't understand, how can we help my mother's family and still get praise from my mother-in-law's family?" ”

Another aunt helped explain: "Yes! This thinks of a daughter-in-law, she helps her mother's family to be different from others, and generally the daughter will take things from her mother-in-law's house back to subsidize. Thinking of a daughter-in-law, she is helping to teach her mother, sister-in-law, and brother-in-law to raise pigs, yellow wolves, rabbits, and ducks, and then sell them to her cousin. I heard that it took three years to start her mother's family.

Her mother's house, when it comes to what no one knows about her, praises her. Her mother-in-law also praised her. said that she would do things, and she could help both her mother's family and her mother-in-law's family.

It's not bad to say she's smart. ”

The sister-in-law at the head said proudly, "That's it! Like her, there are really not many people who offer incense to her mother-in-law's family. ”

"Look at what you said. Aren't you also your mother's family offering incense to your mother-in-law's family! Heard. You help your sisters, sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law and so on, and you make a lot of sweater knitting work. ”

The sister-in-law smiled embarrassedly. "Huh! What am I! However, it is much better than before to dig the ground and ask for food. Otherwise, this is such a big drought. My mother's family is sad. ”

As they were talking, they heard a "bang". It scared everyone.

An aunt in the north pointed to the boy who was setting off the cannon and asked, "Whose boy is that?" How can you be willing to give him the whole hanging artillery battle to play with? ”

Nandi's eldest mother replied: "That's Xiaohu's younger brother, and his sister-in-law is used to it like his own children. Every year, I will buy this kind of small hanging. Tear it down for him, let it go and play with it. ”

"Ouch! Are you so used to it and not afraid of getting used to it? ”

The eldest lady replied: "No! This kid is used to it. One year he was naughty and fried cow dung. The cow dung that was blown up on his face was beaten by his sister-in-law. The butt is swollen.

We chatted and said that her sister-in-law was ruthless, how could she beat her so hard, not that her child was not distressed! We didn't guard against this kid, but he went crazy and tore us up, saying that we were not good people when we spoke ill of his sister-in-law, and made us ugly! He didn't dare to see his sister-in-law for half a year. ”

Another aunt said, "Yes! He also obeyed her sister-in-law, he was not afraid of anyone, he was afraid of his sister-in-law.

But Xiaohu's daughter-in-law is used to it, but she is not blind at all, as long as he does something to be out of line, it is a real lesson!

This kid has grown up now, and he has become a ghost, don't look at the naughty things that he led to do, but if you want to find his fault, you really can't find it.

He is also very polite to people, and when he sees you from afar, he smiles and greets you. I heard his cousin say that in the college in the county, everyone from the chief to the mother-in-law who cooks rice is kind to him.

Reading is said to be even better than those older children, and gentlemen have to be spoiled like grandchildren while being ruthless. They all have a headache and joy for this child. ”

"No, even his cousin Anzi is assigned by him. Listening to his words, he went up to the tree to pound the honeycomb, but was chased by the wasps all over the village. If it weren't for his sister-in-law taking something and luring the hornet away, this Anzi would not have to suffer a loss. ”

"Auntie said this, which child in this Zhuangzi doesn't listen to him? Even my son, all day long, Brother Xiaolong said it, Brother Xiaolong said it, and his father tasted it, saying that he was not as good as other children's children in his son's heart. ”

They were chatting here, and Xiaolong over there had already taken Wen Chao with him, one for a while, one for a while, and several for a while.

"Brother Xiaolong! Take us along, okay? The other children in the Zhuangzi also followed, wanting to follow the cannon battle.

The little dragon head didn't lift it, nodded and said, "Okay!" But you must listen to me, or I won't take you. ”

The children shouted excitedly, "Good! ”

Xiaolong gathered a few children together and stood with Wen Chao: "You are all standing here and don't move, I'm going to go over to set off the cannons." ”

The little dragon took the small branch with sparks, lit the long fuse of the cannonball, and jumped back to the place where everyone was standing, and the children covered their ears with their hands in fear, and waited excitedly for the cannonball to explode.

Nervous, excited, scared, excited, happy, this is a thrill-seeking game for children, and it is also the pursuit of adults.

In the open space of the drying field, several wooden planks with circles were erected, and many young and middle-aged people were nervously practicing archery. This is the training that Er Ya and his grandfather started as early as when they were preparing to take in the fleeing refugees to prevent the displaced people from making trouble.

The Wang family in the north also has to follow the training, Erya has no opinion, the bow and arrow are easy to make, find a tree with good elasticity, tie it to the cow tendon and use it. Arrowheads can be made at the town's blacksmith.

On the third day of junior high school this year, the second girl went to her mother's house first, and did not stay at home to entertain her sisters, after all, there are still cousins and sisters-in-law, and she does not need to wait at home every year.

The second girl greeted the gate early, took Wen Yue, and kissed non-stop. Wen Chao, who was hugged by Xiaohu, shouted: "Grandma! Grandmother! I'm here too! ”

His grandmother hurriedly returned Wen Yue to Erya and took Wen Chao's kiss. The child was not big, but he was strong. It's heavy in your hand, and you can't hold it for a while.

"Big grandson! Is it okay to come down and walk by yourself? Grandma is old and can't hold it anymore. ”

Wen Chao was busy responding, "Okay! "Jumped off the ground and walked.

The eldest sister stood on the eaves of the porch and smiled as they entered, and the second sister greeted the eldest sister: "Eldest sister! Why are you so early? ”

Her eldest sister replied with a smile: "I am so early every year, but you have to come back every year on the fourth day of junior high school, and I can't touch you every year." ”

Er Ya smiled. I saw my grandfather sitting in the hall. Busy and greeted: "Grandpa! What about at home? Why didn't you go out for a yo-yo?! ”

Grandpa replied to her angrily: "It's not like you're waiting for you to come back, let's go see your grandma together." How did you get to this point? ”

Erya had the intention to tease her grandfather, so she pretended to be kind and said, "Grandpa doesn't need you to follow along." We just go by ourselves, and we don't care so much about going back and forth normally. ”

Grandpa choked, this kid. I knew that I had to go over to see her grandmother every day, and she still came with me to do this.

"Then I'll go by myself. I'm not waiting for you! So saying, he stood up and walked out.

Erya saw that her grandfather was a little annoyed and angry, and she hurriedly took her things and followed with the family.

Er Ya Uncle's house, Er Ya looked at the little dragon who was playing happily with the grandson of the uncle's family for a short time. The intuition is incredible, this bear child, how can he play with anyone.

Big and small. He can bring people around as long as he wants. Have fun, be happy, have fun! Erya really convinced this kid.

Several sons-in-law of the uncle's family came and chatted well with Xiaohu. A few cousins were helping to cook in the kitchen, and Erya also turned to the kitchen to stand, chatting while watching the eldest aunt and sisters and sisters busy.

"Erya! I heard that there are a lot of relatives in your family, can you entertain them? ”

"Yes! It's not my family, and they don't need us to do anything, just take the rice out and prepare the necessary things for them to live. We don't have to wait all day long. ”

The eldest aunt said while lighting the fire: "That's the same, is your family's food enough for so many people to eat?" ”

Erya smiled: "Enough! Don't be afraid of so many people again! You've got some food, right? ”

The eldest aunt replied with a smile: "I kept it, and I haven't been willing to sell it in the past few years." It's also thanks to you! Let your sisters earn some money, otherwise my family will have no money to spare! ”

Erya quipped: "That's also the eldest lady who will raise her daughter, our sisters and sisters, but they are all very skillful, and others do the same thing, but they don't earn as much." ”

Auntie: "Hey, hey! Laughing: "It's their own fighting!" It's not taught by the eldest lady! ”

Several cousins and cousins, when they heard their mother and the daughter of the second uncle's family praising themselves, they all lowered their heads in shame, concentrating on the things in their hands, and were embarrassed to listen to their small talk.

Er Ya looked at the eaves of the courtyard, grandpa and grandma sat side by side, talking while basking in the sun, and it was very harmonious.

He turned his head and said to the eldest aunt: "Auntie, why don't I build two houses for your family, and let grandpa come and live with grandma once." ”

The eldest aunt nodded, "Okay!" It's up to you! The old couple froze there, and there was a house to ease up, but there was nothing to say. In the future, the old couple will live wherever they want! ”

During the meal, the father-in-law and the two younger brothers of the brother-in-law in the lobby came over, and they were all neatly dressed, clean, neat and tidy, and very good.

Erya whispered gossip, "Auntie, I look at them very well!" It's clean and neat. ”

The eldest aunt nodded: "That's!" Your sister's mother-in-law was originally a diligent person, but there was nothing to do for the poor in those years, she didn't have anything to eat or wear, and she didn't dare to wash the clothes, for fear that they would be washed by accident.

In the past few years, your cousin-in-law has helped raise a lot of rabbits, and after two years, the family has improved. The house was built, and the people became cooler. Now no one looks down on his family anymore. ”

"Oh!" Erya thought no wonder, the lobby brother-in-law would sell a lot of rabbit skins to her family every season! (To be continued)
