Chapter 67: Gossip by the River
Immediately behind him, there was a lot of discussion from everyone: "I said third aunt, your niece's shelf is really big!" Seeing that we didn't even say hello, he turned around and left. She wasn't like this before, how to marry someone became like this. ”
"Yes! We are her sister-in-law, and she has not yet married, so we will enter the Zhuangzi. It's not that I don't know, how can this be? ”
"Three brothers and sisters! It's not that they don't speak well, but your niece has really become a little cold. In the past, although I didn't talk much, I would always greet people politely and with a smile. Now that we're all here, she left without saying a word. Do you want us to say hello to her first? One of Erya's cousins was also annoyed that Erya was so ignorant.
The third aunt was busy explaining: "No! Don't blame her, my niece was stimulated by that in-law before, and her brain doesn't remember. Even my second sister-in-law and second brother, she didn't remember much before! I came back a lot later, and I gradually remembered it after a long time. I didn't know it before, and I was angry behind my back for a long time before I found out about it later. My niece is also a miserable person, but fortunately, this niece and son-in-law are not bad now. ”
The cousin, who was a little annoyed before, sighed: "Ouch! Erya has suffered such a big sin? We hadn't heard of her, or we would have gone to see her. ”
The third aunt rubbed her clothes on the board and said, "Not really! Otherwise, I'd say this girl is stupid! I was so wronged in my mother-in-law's family and didn't know how to come back to my mother's family to support me, so why do I need my mother's family? ”
Another cousin-in-law took over the conversation from afar: "If you want me to say, Erya is called smart." If it is as you say, my mother's family will go and make a noise. And after that? Erya still has to survive in that house. Look at her now: how beautiful the days are! The in-laws of the family all rely on her and don't say anything, I heard that even the girl who got married talks to her, whose daughter is as party as her!? ”
An older woman said to them with a solemn expression: "Don't look at the second girl and be unconvinced!" She is also bitter first and then sweet, the previous two marriages were her suffering, she survived, and now she should be happy. ”
The third aunt nodded hurriedly: "Yes!" Yes! My niece has suffered a lot before, and my father-in-law, you know, how powerful patriarchy is. None of the girls in our family have had a good life. It's just that the family is separated, and my girl is still trembling when she sees her grandfather. ”
"Can't! The day before yesterday, I saw your father-in-law and his words take candy for your daughter! ”
"That's it! Now they all say that my father-in-law has changed! They used to ask my father-in-law, who taught them how to grow rice? My father-in-law blew his beard and stared, ignoring people.
Recently, I heard from them that my father-in-law also took the initiative to tell people that the rice seedlings in my family were planted by the child of Erya, who helped teach his father.
Now that the rice is growing well, my father-in-law has been guarding the field all day and night, and he is reluctant to come back.
The men in my family regretted dying, at the beginning, when the second uncle asked him to do it together, he didn't dare, and now he has suffered a big loss. That's two seasons of loss! ”
"Not really! Auntie, if your family wants to transplant seedlings next year, you have to teach our family. My husband couldn't walk when he saw your second sister-in-law's rice field. I said that I had nothing to do at home, but I laughed at the second uncle of Laishun for being confused, but now I have nothing to say. It is said that if the harvest is not ruined and it is taken back, it will be at least five or six percent more than our family. ”
Several of them took a breath and said in disbelief, "You're talking a bit big, aren't you!?" It's normal to have more than one or two percent, but if you want to say more than five or six percent, then it's over! ”
It should have been the second sister-in-law who spoke before, she pursed her lips and said, "Cut!" My father-in-law also said that this was his lowest estimate, and if the middle looked the same as what he saw, it would be more. ”
The third aunt was also a little frightened, "Can't you?" Isn't it just that one is sown into the field, and the other is planted in the field? How much worse could it be? ”
"Huh! As soon as I heard it, I knew that you didn't care about your second brother's rice field at all, and I heard my father-in-law say that before the rice was flowered, the second grandfather drove ducks to put ducks in the rice field every day, do you know? ”
"I've heard of this, and the people in Zhuangzi at that time used this as a joke, and they all laughed crazy, can you still know?" The third aunt replied angrily, and several women next to her also nodded with a smile, indicating that they had heard about it.
"Look! You're just a joke, but my father-in-law is paying attention! My father-in-law said that after the duck was let go for a few days, the cowhide and grass that had already come up were gone.
Also, he hasn't heard of any bugs in his field.
I also heard that it is best to add fertilizer once a month before rice heading.
His family raises ducks in the fields, which can not only weed, insects and fertilizer. Tell me, if it weren't for my father-in-law's longing to grow up in the fields of my second uncle's house every day, how could I find this? ”
"Roar! There is still such a saying that ducks are placed in this rice field! However, our family's rice field is not good if you want to put it, the rice seedlings of the Shun family are one line and one line, our family is not, if the ducks are put in, the seedlings must not all lie down. ”
The third aunt also nodded along with the sister-in-law's words, "Yes! You can't learn that! ”
At this time, a young daughter-in-law finished washing clothes. Greeted with a basin of clothes: "You guys are still washing here, I'll go back first!" ”
"Go back, go back! We're fast too. ”
When Erya was having breakfast at her mother's house, she ate the cowpeas soaked by her mother, and she remembered to pick up green peppers. asked her mother: "Mother! How much did you grow that pepper? ”
"There are two mentioners, do you want them?"
"Hmmm! If you don't like it, you can pick it red, then chop it up and marinate it with minced ginger, garlic and soybean paste. Don't pickle it too salty, it's delicious in winter. ”
"Okay! Then I'll get some more, and I'll keep it for you when the time comes. When I first had this in the first two years, I couldn't stand it, but after eating and eating for the past two years, I got used to it and thought it was quite delicious. When it's hot, scramble an egg or something with it, and it's really good to eat. ”
"That's it! You can also smash it flat with a wooden plank, and it is best if the seeds and ridges are detached. Then wash it, and the seed will be washed. Then put the bean paste, oil, and a little salt, and put it on the rice pot to steam. Ah! It's also delicious. ”
Erya said, and pretended to be greedy and sucked saliva.
Her mother smiled and took a piece of cake and said, "Look at your gluttony!" Don't leave at noon, I'll make it for you. ”
Xiaolong had a cake in his mouth, and when he looked up and was about to speak, Er Ya hurriedly blocked Xiaolong's mouth with one hand, while coaxing: "Good! Finish what you have in your mouth before you talk! We are all waiting for you! ”
Xiaolong nodded, chewing the wheat cake in his mouth slowly. When he finished chewing, Erya asked him, "What did Xiaolong want to say just now?" ”
"I'm going to eat it too!"
"That big pepper! Oops! You really can't eat it, it's very spicy! Sister-in-law makes other delicious food for you, okay? ”
Xiaolong was so coaxed, nodded and continued to eat the cake, no more.
Erya's sister looked strange, "Xiaolong is so good!" If you say you can't eat it, don't make a fuss at all! ”
Erya smiled and touched Xiaolong's head, and said to his sister Xiaoxiang: "He used to be more well-behaved, but it is said that he has been taken worse by me now, and his temper is a little bigger." Don't look at him small, he is very good at studying! ”
The second girl asked in surprise: "He is so young, he is studying?" ”
"Read, these days are a double robbery holiday, so I will take it out to let it out."
Xiaoxiang stretched out her head and asked the second sister mysteriously: "Did the uncle, third uncle and aunt's children all send them?" ”
Erya patted her sister's head, "Just talk, why are you so nervous?" ”
Then he replied to his sister's question: "I don't know what's going on, none of the three of them sent it over." I don't know if it's too far! ”
The second girl peeled another salted duck egg for Xiaohu, "Eat this!" Thanks to you at home this year, I have eaten enough salted duck eggs. ”
Xiaohu hurriedly took it with both hands, "Thank you, mother!" Our family also has a lot of salted duck eggs, and her daughter-in-law also said that when the ducks lay more and more eggs, they will buy some quicklime back and make Songhua eggs. ”
As soon as Erya heard Songhua Egg, she remembered that she wanted Liu Er's maiden family to have an extra income.
"Mother! When the weather cools down and the ducks lay eggs more frequently, I will teach you to make Songhua eggs, and then I will help contact customers. Although the family does not have to worry about food and clothing, it is still not possible to have no savings! ”
Her mother laughed, "Silly girl, who is not like this?" It would be nice to have a few acres of land to feed a family, what else do you want!? ”
After the era of having surplus food in her hands and not panicking in her heart, of course, she has a different opinion from them.
"Mother! You're too low-end, aren't you!? My requirements are not too high, at least I must have surplus food at home and spare money in my hands. ”
Her mother happily peeled a salted duck egg for Erya, and said happily: "Then I will wait for the powerful man of our family!" ”
Erya picked the egg yolk to Xiaolong, and at the same time should talk to her mother: "Hmm! You wait, as long as you are not lazy and willing to endure hardships, you will be sure to have surplus food and save money. ”
Her mother looked at Erya funny and said, "This is what I usually said to you, you are good, and you have taught me a lesson in turn." ”
The second girl stuck out her tongue and stopped talking.
Xiao Xiang looked at the second sister attentively, and the surprise in her heart became more and more. This sister has no trace of the past, and it has been less than a year since she got married, how can she become so thorough?
What was it that made her seem like a different person entirely?
After eating, the third aunt really came over to get the meat.
The second girl took two rabbit meat, two pheasants, and a knife of wild boar meat that was almost ten catties from the salt water tank, and asked the third aunt to take it back.
After a while, I will send it to Uncle Erya's family according to this number, but fortunately, Uncle Xiaohu considered that the three families would give it, so he gave Xiaohu a lot more and let him pick it.
At that time, Erya still talked too much, and now Xiaohu looked at Erya with a smug expression. Silently asking, "How's it going?" How do you feel about it? ”
Erya rolled her eyes and pulled Xiaolong to play in the vegetable garden where her mother planted.
