Chapter 97: Mother is here
Mulan saw that the sun was not bad today, so she took out all the clothes in the closet and dried them, and Da Han also helped her get them, although he was like a child, but he listened to Huiying's words very much, if he taught him to do simple things, he could do it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info wants to come to the house of the two women, and it's okay to stay in Dahan, but it's good that there is a man to watch the house, so that some people don't dare to mess with them.
Hui Ying smiled and watched them dry their clothes, and after setting the meal, she called them over, Da Han was still full of a big bowl of rice, and she was very satisfied, but it was no longer the same as the day when she came over, and the meal became more gentle, and Hui Ying felt that Da Han seemed to be back to his previous appearance.
Mulan felt that she had an appetite when she watched them eat, although it was just the sweet potato rice she usually ate with pickles and a plate of soybean paste. Mulan felt that she must have gained weight this month. In addition, her belly is also a lot bigger, and she has to increase the size of her clothes, she originally planned to wear Changsheng's clothes, but now Changsheng's clothes are given to Dahan, she has no clothes to wear, and today she has to find two more old clothes to change from before.
After eating, Mulan went to find clothes to change, Huiying was cleaning up the kitchen, and Dahan was waiting for Huiying, and the two were going up the mountain to chop some firewood and come back. In the past, there was not much firewood left at home, and the weather would be colder in a few days, so I wouldn't go out much. Every year at the end of the year, the weather is cold and things are expensive, and ordinary people can afford to buy too many New Year's goods, so they are prepared early and usually. The more the New Year comes, the fewer people go to the market. If you have to go, you just buy some Spring Festival couplets to the New Year's stickers, and those who don't have money will buy some red paper, and ask people who can write to write some happy words with a brush, and paste them on the doorpost to make do.
Huiying wiped her hands after cleaning up, greeted Mulan, and planned to go to the back mountain with Dahan with an axe and a rope.
The mountains in Chenjia Village are not high, and there are not many shrubs, so there is no division of whose family, and anyone who needs firewood can cut it. Everything that was close was cut down, and I had to go farther. Fortunately, there are Dahan with him, just like they used to be. Wherever Huiying goes to work, Dahan follows step by step. Huiying is not afraid that he will lose it, or affect her work, because Da Han is usually very obedient, will not mess around, and can help her do simple work, like now, she is cutting in front, and Da Han is helping him pick it up in the back.
Mulan was sitting in the hall and was gesturing about what to do to change her clothes, when she heard a knock on the door and the rough voice of a woman calling her name.
Mulan was stunned, isn't this her own mother's voice? Still so loud and loud, he immediately got up and went to open the door for her.
As soon as the door was opened, Mulan Niangwang Jihong immediately stepped in, looked left and right and looked at Mulan before opening her mouth and scolded angrily: "You bad girl, you haven't been back to your parents' house since you returned to the door, the ancients are right, the daughter who married out spilled the water, and forgot her mother's house so quickly!"
When Mulan heard this, she immediately blushed and shook her head, she couldn't help it, after more than a month of marriage, she and Changsheng left Chenjia Village, and Changsheng also wrote a letter to her mother before, and her mother wouldn't have not received the letter.
As soon as she thought of the letter, she immediately compared it to her mother, Wang Jihong lived with her daughter since she was a child, and immediately knew that she was writing a letter.
"You just wrote a letter, and you didn't write any reason, so that your father came to visit, but no one was there. If it weren't for Ah Hao's girl going back to her parents' house this time, how would your mother know that you were back. Mother knows that you are a stuffy gourd, and I have heard a general situation yesterday. At that time, I also complained that I was greedy for the highest bride price given by the Changsheng family, but now you are so tired that you don't have a mother-in-law, and a sister-in-law has been divorced and imprisoned...... By the way, is she home? Wang Jihong suddenly stopped when she talked about Huiying, it would not be good if she heard it.
Mulan gestured that Huiying was not at home, and Wang Jihong continued, "But now that you are pregnant, look at it for seven or eight months, it is about the same as your sister-in-law's month, your sister-in-law's belly is bigger than yours, you need to eat more, you are still so thin, how can you have the strength to have a child at that time." I don't have a mother-in-law to take care of you, and I don't know how you usually live. ā
Mulan was very happy to hear that her sister-in-law was also pregnant, they were married at the same time, and they were pregnant at the same time, and her eyebrows and eyes were full of joy, but when she heard the next word of her mother-in-law, she thought of the mother-in-law who was killed by Chen Yuanqing in order to save her, and the smile on her face immediately disappeared.
Wang Jihong saw Mulan's face change and knew that she was too talkative, so she hummed twice in her throat before she spoke again: "I heard Ah Hao say that Changsheng is not bad working outside, and he has met powerful people, which is why your sister-in-law was released in advance, is it true?"
Mulan was surprised, it turned out that it was rumored to be like this outside, and Changsheng was just like that, working like everyone else, but their factory director was good, and some of them reused him, and they didn't know how big people they knew as rumored outside, otherwise they would have bought a house outside, how could they come back.
Wang Jihong looked at Mulan and shook her head, and she didn't know whether her daughter was positive or negative, but looking at her daughter's complexion, and a pair of hands that didn't have any calluses, she could see that she should be doing well, unlike her sister-in-law who had to help her do a lot of work every day. There are many people in the family, and there are many mouths to eat, so Mu Yang went to the town to help, hoping to exchange some food and go home before the New Year, and the family could have a better time this year.
Mulan heard her mother sighing, so she shook her mother's arm, Wang Jihong reacted and came to see Mulan looking at her strangely, she must have been distracted just now, Mulan was worried about her, so she sighed: "Mulan, such a cold day, I feel sorry for your brother, he went to the town to help, saying that he could exchange some food and come back, you also know that at this time in previous years, we have a lot of family, and there are few laborers who can earn work, and the food distributed by the team is almost the same now...... Alas! I have to go back, by the way, there are a few eggs laid by our old hens in this basket, and I wonder if you have just come back, and you don't have any chickens, and there are no good things at home to make up for you. Wang Jihong was a little embarrassed to say it, so she dared to complain about her shabby family background in her daughter.
Mulan hurriedly pushed her mother's hand and shook her head, these eggs must be reluctant to be eaten at home, there are many younger brothers and sisters in the family, and her sister-in-law is still pregnant like her.
She went to her own room, opened the wardrobe door, took out the money that Changsheng gave her, and gave Huiying 50 yuan as their living expenses, and took 10 yuan to Uncle Shi, and the cost of taking them back and exchanging food stamps, now she still has 90 yuan in her hand, and there is nothing to spend next, and Huiying's 50 yuan can be spent for a few months. So she took 10 yuan to her mother, and with this 10 yuan, her mother and they could have a good year. Later, when they had more money, she would make up for them.
Wang Jihong looked at the 10 yuan that her daughter stuffed into her hand. The monthly salary in the countryside is only about 20 yuan, and 10 yuan is already a lot. The daughter doesn't look good at dressing, and she's about to give birth, she can't take her money, plus they have to raise their sister-in-law, and the pressure is also very high, just a Changsheng works outside, maybe the people outside are a little outrageous, Changsheng is really going to make a lot of money, and she won't send Mulan home, so she refuses to ask for this money.
Mulan knew that her mother didn't want her money because she was worried that she didn't have money, so she stuffed the money to her, and compared with her that she still had money, so that she could rest assured, Wang Jihong was a little embarrassed to accept it.
It's not early to see the sun, there is still a lot of work to do at home, Wang Jihong told Mulan to go back, Mulan brought her mother to the basket with eggs, and brought it back to her, but her mother refused to do anything, and helped her put it in the kitchen basket before leaving.
Mulan looked at her own mother, who was unwilling to take advantage of others all her life, and there were many children in the family, and her mother was worried when she had no food to eat, and she felt very sorry for her, alas! In the future, if they are doing well, they will help the family.
