Chapter 43: The Second Aunt Returns
Hongyun's child, less than five months old.
Because her mother-in-law didn't give her a dowry, she always had a horizontal nose and vertical eyes, and she didn't have a good look.
Although she has a soft temperament, she is not without temperament.
Because she is always sulking and depressed, the milk has never been enough for the child to eat, and the five-month-old daughter is thin and small, not as good as other people's two or three month children.
The eldest aunt looked at her thin, small, and dry granddaughter, and was so angry that she hugged her head and beat Hongyun to death.
Erya was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab the eldest uncle: "Auntie, the second sister is so easy to come back to pay you a New Year's greeting, why are you beating her?" ”
The eldest aunt stopped her hand and lit the red cloud with her hand, trembling with anger.
"You're useless! How did you spoil your child like this? This child is alive, it's really her fate! Zhang Mingfa! You call him over, and I'll ask him, do all the children in their family grow up like this? ”
Xiaolong has never seen the eldest lady lose her temper, and when she saw it at first glance today, she was so frightened that she hugged Erya's leg and didn't dare to move. Seeing that the eldest uncle's love was almost calm, the second girl let go of her grip on the eldest uncle's hand, turned around and hugged Xiaolong, and sent him to Xiaohu.
Xiaohu took Xiaolong and asked Erya: "What's wrong with the eldest uncle?" How could you suddenly hit the second sister? ”
"Uncle Niang feels sorry for her granddaughter, so don't worry about it."
"Oh!"
The eldest uncle and the second uncle also came out of the hall, and when they saw the second son-in-law pinned to the courtyard wall, they beckoned him into the house: "Mingfa, why are you staying there?" Enter the house! ”
The eldest uncle looked at it with a snort, and didn't dare to take the son-in-law who was facing her head-on, and the anger in her heart went down a little, it seems that it is not the reason why the son-in-law is strong.
The second aunt hugged Hongyun's daughter and let Hongyun into the house. He returned to his head and persuaded his sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, do you see you?" Why is there such a big fire all of a sudden? Your child almost cried because of you. ”
The eldest aunt reached out to take the fluttering granddaughter in her younger sister's arms, and was annoyed again.
Erya sighed: "Auntie! The little ones are lean and lean and smart. It is said that children have grown up stupidly since childhood, and they are chubby and cute, but unfortunately they are not smart when they grow up. When the children are young, they eat half to seventy percent full, lean and lean, and they are all smart babies when they grow up. ”
The second aunt laughed "poof", "According to what you say, this family is still a good thing!" ”
The eldest aunt was also amused by Erya, looking at her granddaughter's dark eyes, her bones turned straight, and she smiled: "Is it?" This kid looks pretty smart! The five-month-old child's eyes will roll with bones. ”
As he spoke, he stretched out to the second aunt and let her see: "Look at it!" Isn't this little guy's eyes so lively?! ”
The second aunt looked at the little guy's eyes, just between her and her sister-in-law, and it looked like they were turning quite flexibly. "Roar! This kid is really nimble, blinking and eyebrows moving. Growing up must be smart. ”
Hongyun stretched out his head to see that the old lady was no longer angry, so he winked at the second aunt. The second aunt smiled and waved her hand and asked her to go back to the hall.
The daughters and sons-in-law had already arrived at home, and they began to eat breakfast on the table.
After breakfast, several nephews and nieces and sons-in-law went to the next village to carry a sedan chair, and went directly to the second aunt's house from there to pick up the second aunt back.
After waiting for more than two hours, the food was ready, and I waited for them to come back to eat, but they did not arrive home for a long time.
The eldest aunt and the second aunt guessed that the Wei family was blocking them and would not let them go back.
"Daddy, son, why don't we go over?"
The uncle stood at the door of the house, looked at the cannon hanging from the tree, and thought for a while: "Wait a little longer!" ”
When the second aunt saw that Anzi wanted to dismantle the cannonball, she shouted: "The cannonball hasn't been released yet, so you want to dismantle it?" I'm looking for a fight! Go and see if your brothers are back. ”
"Oh!" Anzi agreed, and ran to the road that the second aunt used to take, and it didn't take long for him to run back again.
"Uncle, auntie, they're back!"
"Quick! Dad, go get some gunfire! ”
"It's coming, it's coming!"
The sedan chair was put down at the door of the house, and the second aunt walked out of the sedan chair satisfied. That arrogant appearance almost made Erya laugh and break her stomach.
When she entered the house, the eldest aunt blamed Daman: "How did you get it now?" I'm just waiting for you to come back for dinner, and you can't wait for you to come back. I'm almost going to go to you with your father. ”
Daman held back a smile, "Mother! Don't say it, along the way, we smiled at the second aunt, and the sedan chair couldn't be lifted. ”
The second aunt asked, "What's the matter?" ”
The second aunt opened the door of the sedan all the way, and she had to say hello to everyone she saw. Whether you know each other or not, you have to talk to others. Along the way, almost everyone knows that the Wei family does not give the daughter-in-law back to her parents' house, and the daughter-in-law's mother-in-law's nephews and nieces and sons-in-law come to pick it up. ”
The eldest aunt laughed in a low voice: "Her second aunt is strong, and she can't eat any anger." She is going to sue people, there are people in her mother's family, and others can't be bullied! ”
The second aunt entered the hall with her head up, and the first thing she said when she entered the hall was: "Big brother, second brother, today is the most proud day I have lived for so many years." ”
"Oops! It's the big brother who has troubled you, sit down, come, sit here. ”
"Second sister! It's already ready, just waiting for you to eat at home. I don't see you coming back, and I don't know what's wrong, so I'm in a hurry. ”
The second aunt smiled embarrassedly: "It was I who talked to people all the way and delayed the time." ”
The eldest uncle and the second uncle, busy letting the second aunt sit down in the seat, shouted at the kitchen: "Child, it's time to serve." ”
The men and women were divided into two tables, and the second aunt was relieved to see that several nephews were wearing new clothes and shoes, and the dishes on the table were also complete with chicken, duck, fish and pork.
The men's table wanted to drink, and the second aunt couldn't sit still, so she ran to the women's table and sat down: "Sister-in-law! It seems that the difficulties at home have really survived, and that's good! That's it!
Ay! I've made you shoes every year, and no one has sent them for me. That day, Xiaohu and his family went over and left in a hurry, forgetting to let them bring back their shoes.
Today, when they passed, they were busy cooking for his aunt and sister. I panicked and only changed into clean clothes, and then followed them back in a sedan chair, without taking anything. The second aunt thought about going back to her parents' house empty-handed, and she was very upset.
"Second sister! You must know that you made shoes, we were not in such a hurry last winter, don't you know, we were so busy last winter that we didn't have time to make shoes. Later, I made a pair of shoes with wooden soles, and your second brother said that they were uncomfortable to wear, and I was planning to make another pair of shoes with cloth soles for me! Now that you've done it, it couldn't be better. ”
The eldest aunt also said happily: "Okay! Tomorrow we will go back to our parents' house, and on the fifth day of the new year, we will ask them to pay New Year's greetings to you, and bring them back by the way. Your eldest brother also said that wearing shoes with wooden soles makes it tiring to walk. ”
After the eldest aunt finished speaking, she sandwiched a piece of wild boar meat and gave it to the second aunt: "Come, her second aunt, this is wild boar, Xiaohu's daughter-in-law makes it very delicious, you can taste it!" Hideko, Kasumiko, and Yunzi, you eat too. ”
The second aunt added a piece of rabbit meat to the second aunt: "Second sister, do you dare to eat this rabbit meat?" It's delicious, too! ”
and gave Hongxia, Hongyun, and Hongxiu a piece. Hongxiu hurriedly put the rabbit meat back to her mother, "Mother! I have it, I can't eat rabbit meat! ”
The second aunt was a little excited, "There is!" It's been a few months, why haven't you reacted at all? Come on! Eat this, Xiaohu's daughter-in-law said that this and that are high, eat well! The second aunt casually picked up several prawns with chopsticks and gave them to Hongxiu.
The second aunt and eldest aunt also sandwiched the dishes they thought were good for pregnant women and gave them to Hongxiu.
Hongxiu hurriedly covered the bowl: "Don't give me any more vegetables, I'll eat by myself." There were so many that I didn't want to eat them. I'm actually pretty good today, and I have a bit of an appetite. Some time ago, I didn't want to eat anything. ”
A few experienced busyes nodded, "Yes, yes!" What I ate and vomited at that time! But I was sinned. ”
"Me too! I want to eat it, I want to eat it, but I can't eat it! ”
"I'm even more strange, I didn't eat anything before, but when I was pregnant, I wanted to eat it, and it was delicious!"
The eldest aunt was busy picking vegetables for Hongxia and Hongyun again, "Don't you two know that you two are picking up vegetables by yourself?" Do you want the old lady to wait?! ”
When he saw Ye Zi, he would look at the eldest sister for a while, and then look at the second sister for a while, so he also greeted Ye Zi: "Ye Zi, you will get married after the first month, you can eat more." ”
Even though they are all members of their own family, Momiji still feels shy, and he bows his head and whispers.
Hongxia smiled and said to her mother: "Mother, there are too many good dishes today, I don't know which one to eat." ”
He turned his head and asked the second aunt: "Have you made all the dowry for Yezi?" Why didn't I see it? ”
Hongguo was nibbling on braised pork ribs, and after listening to the eldest sister's words, she puffed out her mouth and said, "I saw it, it looks good!" ”
The eldest aunt hurriedly knocked her head with chopsticks, "Who let you eat something in your mouth and speak." ”
He said to Hongxia again: "You pick up what you haven't eaten first, this garlic seedling is planted by Xiaohu, and this willow mushroom is also raised by Xiaohu, haven't you eaten this robe meat?!" Her second aunt and Xiuzi, you also eat, come home, are you polite?! He diverted Hongguo's words again.
Erya is busy taking care of Xiaolong and Anzi, the two boys, one will ask for this and the other will ask for that, and Erya is overwhelmed.
The second aunt looked at this niece and daughter-in-law, and the more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became, "The first time I saw my niece and daughter-in-law, I knew that my niece and daughter-in-law were good. Xiaohu and Xiaolong, the two nephews, say that life is hard, and it is really bitter, and there is nothing more bitter than losing your parents. can be said that their lives are good, and it is really good, with this nephew and daughter-in-law entering the house, Xiaolong is really no different from his own brother. ”
The eldest aunt gently patted the second sister-in-law's back casually, "Her second aunt, don't say it." His second aunt was nagging, and Xiaohu's daughter-in-law spoiled Xiaolong. Xiaolong has now learned to be a picky eater, and he dares to look at people, if he gets angry, he doesn't eat and threatens people! ”
Erya said with a smile: "It's okay, a boy's personality should be raised when he is young, but he can't grow up and become a man who is submissive and unmanly." I'd feel terrible about being a human being! ”
Xiaolong raised the pheasant leg in his hand and swore an oath: "Hmm! I'm going to be a big man in the future! ”
Anzi also shouted: "I'm bigger than you, I want to be a bigger man than you." ”
"Then I'm going to be better than you!"
A table of people, looking at the two little ones funny, making boring oaths and arguments.
After eating, the whole family sat together and talked about family life, and it had been a long time since such a complete family had sat together.
