Chapter 42: Endure the pain and cut love
As soon as the fat aunt entered the east courtyard, she saw Lin Shuqing sitting under the paulownia tree in the courtyard talking to Aunt Chuanshan, and her son Xiaochuan copied Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy on the horse pestle in the hall. It's so hard to kill me, what should I do? After speaking, he stood there with his head down and a bitter face, and he was headless and brainless in the clouds. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Lin Shuqing took a small bench and asked the fat aunt to sit down, the fat aunt said the matter anxiously, and waited for Lin Shuqing to come up with an idea, Aunt Chuanshan smiled on the side and said: "The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, even you can't do this 'black-faced baogong', can others have this ability?" Besides, as the saying goes: 'It is difficult for a clean official to decide family affairs', what do you say about Mr. Lin? Lin Shuqing also felt that it was difficult to say, because that thing already belonged to Meizi, so she had the right to decide, but when she saw the fat aunt's begging face, she begged with both hands like a Buddha: "Big sister!" (You) give me ideas! I'm scared if I can't eat! Lin Shuqing didn't want to disappoint the fat aunt too much, so she had to reluctantly say: "When I see the opportunity, I'll talk to her, can you?" But I'm not sure! What the fat aunt wanted was this, she thought that Lin Shuqing was omnipotent, and hurriedly said, "Be sure!" You can do it! You are the reincarnation of Guanyin, I know! Big sister, thank you! I was worried about the baby girl at home, and I didn't have the heart to stay longer, so I left with a thousand thanks.
Aunt Chuanshan looked at the fat aunt's panicked back and said, "Mother! I came here ten years before her when I was a child, and she has been married for more than 30 years, and I have never seen Yonggang's mother in such a hurry! Father and mother are the horses and cows of their children, and their hearts can't bear endless suffering! Lin Shuqing listened to Aunt Chuanshan's words and nodded, "Pity the hearts of parents in the world!" After a while, Aunt Chuanshan also said goodbye and left.
After Aunt Chuanshan left, Lin Shuqing sat there alone and thought for a while, then walked into the hall and said to Lin Xiaochuan, who was practicing calligraphy: "Xiaochuan! Shall we make dumplings tonight? When Lin Xiaochuan heard it, he said: "Great! It's finally another tooth sacrifice! Mother! It's been a long time since we've eaten meat! Lin Shuqing said: "Nonsense! A few days ago, Meizi's eldest sister came, didn't Meizi call you to eat back to the pot meat at night? Then Lin Shuqing smiled and said, "Dishonest! Lin Xiaochuan's lie was exposed, and he was a little embarrassed and said, "I just want you to make more meat!" I'm hungry! "What a kid! Lin Shuqing said: "Okay! However......" Lin Shuqing deliberately sold a pass, and after a while, Lin Shuqing looked at Lin Xiaochuan and said, "I have to send you a task!" Lin Xiaochuan stood up with a serious face and said, "Okay!" Mom, tell me! Lin Shuqing said: "I'm going to buy meat, and I want you and Meizi to go to her field to pinch some peppercorns and fennel, do you think it's okay?" "Okay!" Lin Xiaochuan readily agreed.
Lin Xiaochuan got up and left, walked two steps and looked back at his mother and smiled, "Mom! I think we should invite Umeko to our house for dinner tonight! Without waiting for Lin Shuqing to answer, Lin Xiaochuan begged and said, "Mom! You see that Meizi has invited me to eat several ...... recently" Lin Shuqing interrupted Lin Xiaochuan's words with a smile: "Wow! Actually, that's what I mean! What Lin Shuqing wanted was Lin Xiaochuan's words.
"What a good son!" Lin Shuqing praised and lost no time in enlightening his son: "To do things, you must think about others and take into account the feelings of others. That's the truth, so that we can take into account the overall situation, abandon selfishness, and be a noble person! Lin Xiaochuan nodded and went out.
Lin Xiaochuan came to Wu's house, the fat aunt was holding a handful of autumn potato seedlings to feed the sheep, and when she saw Lin Xiaochuan coming in, she happily deliberately said loudly to Meizi: "Xiaochuan is here!" You're looking for plums, right? Plums are in the house! As he spoke, he pointed to the door of the hall.
As soon as Meizi heard that Lin Xiaochuan was coming, she turned over and got out of bed, and evened out her face in the mirror with a wet towel, never letting Lin Xiaochuan see her gaffe, and greeted her out of the house, as if nothing had happened, and said in her mouth: "Xiaochuan is here!" Is there something wrong? Lin Xiaochuan didn't know what was going on at noon, and he didn't pay attention to the expression on Meizi's face, so he only said, "Meizi!" Read the book again, right? It's hard! Meizi said modestly, "Where! Nothing! Lin Xiaochuan turned to the fat aunt and said, "Aunt Wu! Our family wants to invite Meizi to dinner tonight, my mother asked me to go to the village with Meizi, and after your family keeps some fennel and peppercorns to make ......dumplings, "This is Teacher Lin's idea, and the fat aunt naturally understands, so she doesn't wait for Lin Xiaochuan to finish speaking, and immediately says: "Okay!" Good! Go ahead! Go ahead! Go to ......" Before the words fell, Meizi had already pulled Lin Xiaochuan to the gate. The fat aunt looked at the backs of the two people in the distance, and said to herself as if she was a little frightened: My mother! More spiritual than the Divine Decree!
In the evening, the mother and son of the Lin family made dumplings together including plums, Lin Shuqing rolled the dough by hand, the plums made the dumpling filling, Lin Xiaochuan was responsible for peeling garlic and pounding garlic, the hands of the plum dumplings were very skillful, the cat's ear-shaped dumplings were plump and well-proportioned, and the dumplings were not rotten when cooked in the pot. When the three of them were eating dumplings together, Lin Shuqing picked up a dumpling with chopsticks and said to Lin Xiaochuan: "Xiaochuan, look at how skillful Meizi's hands are!" How beautiful are the dumpling wraps, can you? Lin Xiaochuan shook his head and said, "I can't!" After speaking, he gestured to Meizi and extended his thumb, and Meizi lowered her head a little shyly.
Lin Shuqing said: "This is life, and life contains college questions!" Confucius said: 'Threesomes must have my teacher!' It is also the same reason, there are many aspects of Meizi that you should learn, and Meizi has always helped you selflessly and fearlessly, and you should respect her! You know? Lin Xiaochuan nodded. It has been Lin Shuqing's habit for many years to quote the famous sayings of the ancients to guide his son, but at that time it was the period of criticizing Lin and Confucius, and it was a great risk to quote Confucius head-on.
The reason why Lin Shuqing said the above words, on the one hand, was because not long ago, Lin Xiaochuan's sharpness was revealed, and he was proud of his talent and did not take into account Meizi's feelings, and inadvertently hurt Meizi, although Lin Xiaochuan had no intention of knowing it, but Lin Shuqing, who was discerning, saw it, so she wanted to remind her son; On the other hand, Lin Shuqing knows the truth of what mountain song to sing on what mountain, the Lin family is down to this point, and it is unrealistic to think about it, and although Meizi does not have the "foreign atmosphere" and fashion of a big city girl, she is kind, innocent and beautiful, this is Lin Shuqing's most satisfying place, she feels that her son's future life and after her hundred years, she needs such a girl to take over her son's life path to accompany her! Obviously, Lin Shuqing has the same thoughts as the fat aunt today!
Lin Shuqing's last sentence went to Meizi's heart, although Meizi is the same age as Lin Xiaochuan, she is much more mature and careful than Lin Xiaochuan, maybe the reason for the girl's precociousness, right? She couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart, coupled with the grievances at noon, her eyes were full of tears and affection and said to Lin Shuqing: "Godmother! From the first time I saw you, I regarded you as my relatives, I like you, I like this home, godmother! ......" Meizi couldn't go on, tears flowed down her cheeks, Lin Xiaochuan hurriedly took a towel and handed it to Lin Shuqing, Lin Shuqing personally wiped Meizi's tears, she said to Meizi: "We like you too!" You're right to be our family! Lin Xiaochuan and Meizi both nodded after hearing this.
Meizi felt that she couldn't hide it from her dear godmother, so she told Lin Shuqing about the noon, and finally Meizi said angrily: "Sister Xinhua is too disagreeable, I know that the tent ornament is my beloved thing as life, and the ancients said: 'A gentleman does not take the love of others!'" 'Godmother, you said I was right, right? The first time she came to our house, she ...... "Mei Zi didn't say the words below, anyway, Sister Xinhua was dissatisfied." Lin Shuqing said to Meizi: "You are reluctant, you regard it as a beloved thing, because this thing was given to you by your godmother, which means that you have feelings for your godmother, thank you!" Saying that, Lin Shuqing gently patted Meizi's head.
After being quiet for a while, Lin Shuqing raised her head as if she was thinking, looked at the door again, and then lowered her head to look at Meizi and Lin Xiaochuan, as if to say to Meizi, as if to say to Lin Xiaochuan, and as if to say to herself: "There are many things that people lose in their lives, and some losses are forced and against their will, so this kind of loss makes people sad and angry!" But if some losses can make their hearts gain permanent peace, and can make their lives more harmonious and happy, of course, including the harmony and happiness of their loved ones, then this loss is worth it, this is the realm! As soon as Lin Shuqing finished speaking, the room was surprisingly quiet, so quiet that it made people feel that it was in a vacuum! Lin Shuqing's words were like thunder in early spring, which made people feel empowered, Meizi and Lin Xiaochuan both looked at Lin Shuqing with wide eyes, and they both stood up slowly, Meizi hugged Lin Shuqing and said, "Godmother!" I understand what you mean, I know what to do! Then he turned around and went home.
Lin Xiaochuan, who was standing, looked at Meizi's departing figure, turned around and looked at Lin Shuqing, took two steps and hugged her mother and said, "Mom's words today, some of them are said to me, right?" Don't worry, Mom, I know what to do! After saying that, the two of them packed up and went to bed separately to turn off the lights and rest.
The next day, I didn't expect Yonggang and his girlfriend Xinhua to come again in the scorching heat, and happily talked and laughed, Xinhua saw Meizi was still very enthusiastic, as if nothing had happened, only said that this time I came back to Yonggang to the village brigade headquarters to open a letter of introduction, and after going back, I would play a marriage certificate, and prepare to do things as soon as the Spring Festival passed this year.
The family happily ate together, and when the two eldest brothers left in the afternoon, Meizi called out to the eldest brother and Sister Xinhua, she put a cloth bag wrapped in a square turban in Xinhua's hand, Xinhua opened it and looked, ah! Inside is the "fish white and green satin bottom color phoenix embroidery tent" wrapped in yellow paper, Mei Zi sincerely said to the eldest brother Yonggang and Sister Xinhua: "Sister wishes the eldest brother and sister-in-law happiness!" Xinhua hugged Meizi and said in a trembling voice: "My good sister, thank you!" Tears flowed as he spoke, and the eyes of everyone present moistened.
At night, Meizi secretly cried in her room for most of the night, the fat uncle and the fat aunt were so distressed that they didn't close their eyes all night, and the fat aunt also poked her brain into the plum room a few times at night, and the old couple lay on the bed staring until dawn.
Later, it was heard that Wu Yufang, the eldest sister of Meizi, also cried a lot about it after knowing about the account ornaments.
