Chapter 5 Mother-in-law
Zhang Yiyi still remembers that the first meal she had when she came here was the sweet potato given by Granny Yuan, and since she lived next door, she had to say thank you. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Sister, is this going to Granny Yuan's house?" Xiao Liang looked at the direction of his sister and knew where to go, Granny Yuan's house was very remote, and there was no one around.
"That's right, didn't Granny Yuan give us two sweet potatoes last night, we're going to thank Granny Yuan."
"Mother-in-law Yuan is very nice, she often secretly gives me sweet potatoes to eat. But the people in the village said that Granny Yuan had killed her husband and son, and that she was an unknown person, so they did not want to associate with her or live next to her. I think Granny Round is very good. As soon as Granny Yuan was mentioned, Xiao Liang couldn't wait to let his sister know how good Granny Yuan was, but thinking of the villagers' opinions on Granny Yuan, Xiao Liang was a little sad, Granny Yuan was obviously such a good person.
"Doesn't Granny Yuan have any relatives?"
"No, when Granny Yuan gave birth to Uncle Da Le, Uncle Da Le's father died in an accident, and Granny Yuan raised Uncle Da Le by selling embroidery. Later, the officials and gentlemen came to the village to recruit soldiers and pulled Uncle Da Le to be a soldier. Granny Yuan was sick for several days after hearing this, and she has been living alone since she got better, but Granny Yuan's embroidery is very good and can be sold for a lot of money. Xiao Liang listened to what his aunt said, but after passing those bad words, he said them according to Xiao Liang's own impression of Granny Yuan.
"No amount of money can compare to the company of relatives, Xiaoliang, your companionship gives my sister hope for life, no amount of money can compare to you, and Mother-in-law Yuan is the same, without the company of her husband and children, no amount of money will be happy. Let's go see Granny Yuan more in the future. "No one can understand the loneliness of being left with only oneself better than Zhang Yiyi, and the children in the orphanage are the same, no matter how many friends accompany them, they can't have a relative to take them away.
When Zhang Yiyi and Xiaoliang walked to the door of Granny Yuan's yard, Granny Yuan was washing vegetables in the yard, and when she saw Zhang Yiyi and Xiaoliang coming in, she immediately smiled, and her wet hands were only wiped on the apron in front of her, so she couldn't wait to pick up Xiao Liang who walked in, and looked at Zhang Yiyi's face carefully, and after making sure that the little girl's illness was really cured, she nodded with satisfaction, "Xiaoliang, my mother-in-law is just preparing dinner, let's stay with my sister to accompany my mother-in-law to eat tonight." ”
Xiaoliang originally wanted to refuse, his father said that he couldn't eat other people's things for nothing if he didn't help others, but he heard his mother-in-law say to accompany her to eat, and her sister said that she would accompany her mother-in-law more, and the two things couldn't be done together, Xiaoliang didn't know what to do, so he had to look at his sister.
"Mother-in-law, Xiaoliang and I will come to rub your meal tonight, don't dislike us." Such a kind old man reminded Zhang Yiyi of the deceased dean, and the dean was also such a kind old man.
"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it, you come to accompany me, this old woman, it's too late for me to be happy, as long as you don't dislike me." Hearing Zhang Yiyi say this, Mother-in-law Yuan was very happy, both of them are good babies.
"Xiaoliang, we are going to eat at my mother-in-law's house tonight, and we won't help my mother-in-law wash the vegetables." No matter how thin he is, he is still a ten-year-old child, how can he let his mother-in-law hold him for so long.
"Okay, I'll wash the vegetables, mother-in-law let me down, I'll wash the vegetables for you." That's right, helping my mother-in-law is not eating white food.
"Okay, okay, Xiaoliang helps my mother-in-law wash the vegetables, don't worry, don't worry, the ground is wet, don't slip." Granny Yuan put down Xiao Liang with a smile, and said uncomfortably about Xiao Liang's hot appearance.
"Mother-in-law, Xiaoliang has something to do, what do you think I can do?" Zhang Yiyi didn't take the initiative to take up the job of cooking, and she hadn't burned firewood before, so she really didn't know how to do it.
"This ...... The girl's illness is just right, it's not good to be too tired, or... Are you going to wipe down the table? Granny Yuan looked at the delicate gold peony dress on Zhang Yiyi's body, and she didn't know what she could do, and she was afraid that she would be uncomfortable if she didn't let her do something, so she thought about letting her wipe the table, which was effortless and not easy to stain her clothes.
"Hey, then I'll wipe the table, mother-in-law, don't treat clothes as outsiders, I have no relatives with Xiaoliang, if you want, we will be your godgrandson, we will treat you as our mother-in-law." Zhang Yiyi also saw the hesitation of her mother-in-law, knowing that her mother-in-law was worried about herself, and she was not angry, so she opened her mouth to admit her relatives.
"Okay, good, willing, you are all good grandsons and granddaughters of your mother-in-law, okay.. Good.. Good. "Mother-in-law Yuan has been lonely for a long time, and no one is usually willing to talk to herself, it is rare that the two children do not dislike themselves, how can they dislike them.
"I know that my mother-in-law is the best, Yiyi has just come back, I don't understand many things, and my mother-in-law has to teach her granddaughter more. Xiaoliang, your mother-in-law will be your mother-in-law in the future, you have to be good to your mother-in-law. With more relatives, Zhang Yiyi's mood is better, and he can't help but joke about Xiaoliang.
"Hmph, if your mother-in-law is not your mother-in-law, Xiaoliang will be good to her mother-in-law, and it will be better to become a mother-in-law Xiaoliang to her mother-in-law." Thinking that his sister didn't believe that he would be good to his mother-in-law, Xiaoliang was unhappy and hurriedly confessed his determination.
"Hahahaha, okay, good grandson, all good grandson. My mother-in-law will go pick some more vegetables, and I will have to add vegetables tonight to reward my two good grandchildren. ”
"Mother-in-law, I want to eat potatoes, the potatoes you made are delicious." Hearing that he was going to add vegetables, Xiaoliang immediately thought of his mother-in-law's roasted potatoes, which were delicious!
"Okay, let's eat roasted potatoes."
Zhang Yiyi was smiling on the side, it's so good.
After the family finished eating, Zhang Yiyi told her mother-in-law that she wanted to raise a few chickens, Xiaoliang was too thin, and wanted to save some eggs for Xiaoliang to make up.
"It's time to make up for it, what has this kid become. I used to have to secretly stuff Xiaoliang with some food, for fear that others would see me and Xiaoliang together, crowding out Xiaoliang. Thinking of the past, Granny Yuan could only sigh helplessly, children without fathers are like grass, they are all poor children.
"Mother-in-law, I just came back, and I don't know where to buy hens, I have a tael of silver here, can you help me take a look?" Zhang Yiyi took out a tael of silver from his pocket, and he still blushed a little for asking his mother-in-law to help him as soon as he recognized his relatives.
"It doesn't take so much, a hen is just a few dozen dollars, it's not easy to make some money, and there will be more places to use the money in the future, but you have to keep it well." Seeing that the girl took out so much money, Granny Yuan hurriedly pushed it back, the little girl's family can't be so lavish.
"Mother-in-law, you take it, there are still many things for you to help in the future, how troublesome it is to take out the money every time, you just take it, and when you use it, you can take it out." The old man is like this, he won't accept it without making some excuses.
"It's... Okay, I'll keep it for you first. "Mother-in-law Yuan thinks about it, the child is still young, and he can't save money, so he will collect it first, and then take it out when he uses it later. I found a cloth bag and wrapped it up and carefully hid it under the bed.
When Zhang Yiyi pulled Xiaoliang out, she still couldn't laugh in her heart, and Granny Yuan was afraid that someone would peek at her, so she carefully hid the money in a small dirt pit at the bottom of the bed, and covered it with soil before she climbed out of the bed with confidence.
