Chapter Seventy-One: Door-to-door
The old lady of the Li family thought of this, and felt that he could help or should help, no matter how he said it, they were all people in the village, and everyone was so kind. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Okay, the old man will go this way and help you make peace. However, Qu Yifeng's old boy has a strange temper and is not very good. Whether I can listen to the old man's words, I can't guarantee it. ”
The old lady's statement made the rich family smile happily. Fu Shen hurriedly said: "Then there is Mrs. Lao." ”
The old lady said to Fu Shen earnestly: "No matter what, you are also the head of the family, your wife and children should be disciplined, don't be a demon all day long, and disturb the peace of the village." Although I am now old, everyone hides a lot of things from me, for fear that I will make a bad mistake because of my idleness, but I really hope that the village can be united and harmonious, and it is better to think about how to make crops and live a better life with more strength. Look at your home, what does it look like now? ”
"Yes, yes, yes, what you have always learned!" Fu Shen nodded repeatedly.
"Alright, let's go back. In the afternoon, I went to find the Qu family boy. The old lady waved his hand and let them go back.
In the afternoon, Mr. Qu went to fetch water.
Xie Yujiao was sewing the old man's coat in the yard.
There are very few girls in this world who don't know how to needlework, and Xie Yujiao also studied with Niu Sanmei for a few days when she was fine, and now she will only sew a hole or something.
In the past few days, the old man has been building a house and a yard, and his clothes will inevitably be torn.
Today, Xie Yujiao turned out all the torn clothes and prepared to mend them.
Just threaded the needle, and before the needle was moved, the old lady of the Li family came to the door.
"You go back, don't pick me up, just let Yifeng send me back later." Xie Yujiao heard the old lady say to the juniors of the Li family who sent him at the door.
Xie Yujiao saw the most respected clan elder in Dongshan Village yesterday, and wondered why this old man didn't go out easily, why did this come again.
She put away the spread clothes in a few clicks and got up to help the old man.
"Girl, are you at home by yourself? What about your grandfather? The old lady was holding a cane with a wooden dragon head, and she spoke very kindly, unlike yesterday's angry face and out of breath.
Looking at the sweet little girl in front of him looking up at him, wanting to support herself, the old lady's face couldn't help but be full of smiles.
The little man will grow to half his waist height, and the little hands stretched out are thin, but they are very white and tender, and they have never done rough work at a glance, and they are well cared for by adults.
The old lady waved his hand and said, "No, the old man can walk by himself, don't hold the old man and me when your little body doesn't arrive, we both fall into the mud." ”
Xie Yujiao compared her own size, it was really, she was not even a half-old child, so it was better not to be reckless.
"Master, go slowly, don't fall!" Xie Yujiao looked at the old man's trembling appearance nervously, very worried that he didn't step on the next step, if he really fell, she would have a big deal.
The old lady frightened with a tiger face: "Old man, I'm so useless, I can fall when I walk?" ”
Xie Yujiao was not frightened by the old lady, her grandfather often used this trick, and she was already immune.
Seeing that she couldn't scare the little girl, the old lady's face turned sunny again, and she looked at the whole courtyard, and her satisfied expression was self-evident.
"Your small courtyard is very good, especially the bluestone pavement and stone tables and stools, clean, neat, and interesting, um! Not bad, not bad! ”
"Master, slow down! You sit here! Xie Yujiao hurriedly took another cotton mat from the house, put it on the stone bench, and carefully helped the old lady to sit down.
"I see you were packing up? What are you doing? The old man glanced at the pile of rescue clothes in the frame, and at first glance it was the old boy surnamed Qu.
"Oh, grandpa's clothes are very expensive during this time, I am thinking about sewing and mending, I can still wear them when I work, and I happened to learn needlework with Aunt Niu for a few days during this time" Xie Yujiao moved the basket containing clothes to the side.
"What have you learned these days? Didn't your mother teach you at home before? ”
"At that time, there was a mother at home, I was small, and I couldn't sit still, so my mother didn't force me to learn."
"And what do you do at home?"
"Reading, playing, taking younger siblings, and occasionally helping my mother with some housework"
"How old are you literate? Who taught you? ”
At what age can I be literate? Already literate in your last life?
She also said vaguely: "I can't say how old I can read, anyway, since I can remember, I will be literate, grandparents, grandparents and grandparents have taught me to read." ”
In this life, she has completely remembered things since she was born, and of course she can read and write, but she only knows simplified characters, and she will pester her elders to teach her traditional Chinese characters when she has time.
She wasn't wrong.
"It seems that the elders in your family love you very much"
An old man and a young man sat in the courtyard and talked very energetically, and no matter when Old Man Qu came back, they just chatted.
The old lady of the Li family used to have a caring granddaughter, and now they are all married and mothers.
He looked at the child in front of him, as if he saw Xuan'er back then, and he was also so smiling, clever, and cute.
It's a pity that she married a petty official who went out and followed her to office, and I don't know if I can see the last face.
For a moment, both of them fell into the memories of their loved ones
"yes, I miss them so much, I suddenly disappeared, they must be very sad. Especially grandparents, grandparents, and grandparents, they are old, so don't hurt your bones. ”
Counting the days, the first peace letter written before has been received by the family. Half a month ago, she sent a second letter of peace, telling her family that she couldn't go back in a short time, and at the same time letting her family know that she was now taken in by Grandpa Qu and living a good life, don't worry.
"You're a good boy! Has the family made a marriage for you? The old lady saw that the little girl's mood suddenly fell, and she was busy leading the topic to today's purpose.
Xie Yujiao lowered her head, not letting the old man see the corners of her mouth twitching, and then said innocently: "It's still early, I'm only eight years old this year, and I won't get married until I'm eighteen years old. Besides, what can two children who haven't grown up live like after they get married? Isn't it a play house? ”
"Eighteen is too late. Fifteen years old, sixteen years old at the latest, this is the best age, everyone comes over like this. The girl's family has not married after the age of sixteen, so she will not be able to find a good marriage," the old man asked again, "I heard that Futu carried you out of the mountains by Futu?" Did you have a good time with that kid? ”
"Master? What do you want to do? It's not like you're trying to pull the red line! Xie Yujiao looked at the old man in surprise, thinking that this clan elder didn't go out easily, what is the purpose of coming all the way this time?
Do you want to be a middleman and match her with Futu?
She hurriedly moved her grandfather out as a shield: "Grandpa has already said that he won't let me have any more contact with Futu!" ”
"He's your savior, isn't he? It's not easy to erase a life-saving grace! ”
"The major event of marriage is to be ordered by the parents to match the words of the concubine, this is not something that my little girl can question?"
"Your parents are not by your side, is it possible that you have not said kiss all the time?"
"And grandpa, I believe that grandpa's decisions are all for my good." I saw the little girl's face trusting, and she didn't hesitate to believe in his grandfather.
The old man had nothing to say now, and he didn't know what expression on his face, he was lonely, lonely, and said with relief after a while: "Qu boy is so blessed, he has been lonely for decades, but I didn't expect to have such a good granddaughter as you in his later years." The old man is jealous."
"Such a sweet granddaughter, of course you are jealous!" Old man Qu came in with water, and just heard the old lady's last sentence, and couldn't help but reply.
