Chapter 69

Xiao Ting was looking at Li Lao Er who was dressed in red with resentment in her eyes, and she didn't notice that the third child walked to her side.

The third child looked around first, he was mainly afraid of being seen by Mrs. Dong, and there was no way to end the trouble when the time came, and when he saw that no one was paying attention around, he said: "Sister Dong, what are you going to do today?" My brother is going to pick up my sister-in-law, you can go in quickly! was seen by others and had to make a fuss. ”

Xiaoting didn't expect that she could be discovered by the third child hiding in the courtyard wall, so she immediately blushed a little and said, "I'll come out to breathe." I know the second brother...... Knowing that he is marrying today, I won't make trouble. ”

The third child sighed, watching her cry and not knowing why, his heart softened. I remembered that when I was a child, Pear Blossom also liked to cry like this, and she couldn't make a sound when she cried.

"My mother said that it won't ruin your reputation, you let your grandmother take care of her mouth, and you can still marry a good family when the time comes."

Xiao Ting looked at the third child in surprise, I don't know why he said this, she looked at the third child carefully with her eyebrows, and found that he was no worse than the second child - the new clothes he wore today were more spiritual.

Xiaoting's heart suddenly became restless again!

After the third child said this, he went to chase the second child, and he completed the task given to him by his mother today. When I came back, I said that I had to change the road, and whoever picked this road was purely looking for trouble.

The second child couldn't help but hold his breath when he passed by Dong Xiaoting's house, he was afraid of seeing Xiaoting and didn't know how to face her. But he really didn't see her, and he suddenly felt a little lost......

…………

Xiaocui nervously pinched the handkerchief in her hand, although she was married to her cousin and married into her aunt's family, she was still a little apprehensive.

When I was a child, I often played with the second and third children, and I was also familiar with the people in Beihe Village. When she was a little older, her mother detained her at home to embroider insoles and rarely showed her head again.

She also vaguely heard some rumors, and knew that the second child was falsely accused of family affairs. My aunt couldn't ask where her father was, so the matter was settled.

Her mother is not happy, how can a pampered girl in her own family marry so lightly? She also had a long quarrel with her father.

Her father said that her aunt promised to give more dowry, and her mother only half-pushed and half-agreed.

As for her, whoever she marries is married, there is no difference.

**

Orange and Pear Blossom help out in the kitchen, and it doesn't rain here for a long time, so many people can't eat, and the pig-killing business is not good. Li insisted on doing more pomp and circumstance, and killed two pigs alone.

This is unprecedented in the village, and it is more pompous than the village chief's house. The village chief was secretly angry, and on the surface, he put on a look of honor.

Rika was surprised to see from the sidelines, the village chief's face looked like a fake, but it didn't look like he was wearing a mask. Everyone in the village knew that the two of them had formed a feud as early as when they were watering the ground.

Killing the pig Li not only invited the village head, but also the landlord Li. Landlord Li is a well-known rich man in Qinglian Town, and even the county officials have to give some face when they see him.

In addition to being rich, Landlord Li's family was also admitted to Xiucai. It's a pity that the first mother-in-law is blessed, leaving two children and leaving. Later, a monk at the foot of the slope was married to Yi Zhihua of Chenjiazhuang.

Orange was fortunate to meet Yi Zhihua today, her mother's family also ate a meal in Chenjiazhuang, her father and mother were very eccentric, and her appearance was only in the middle and upper posture, but from time to time she leaked a kind of arrogance.

This landlord Li also spoiled her very much, and the stool was wiped and cushioned before Zhihua sat down.

Pear Blossom swallowed and spitted when she saw it, how could Landlord Li be so afraid of her mother-in-law? Xing'er didn't go to be a concubine, Landlord Li is willing to give her face in front of the whole village, she must have the means!

The Huang family did not come over with the Chen family at home, otherwise he would definitely be pulled over by Landlord Li to accompany his daughter-in-law, who made his daughter-in-law have no acquaintances here.

Zhihua first looked around, and the village chief's daughter-in-law sat beside her, but she ignored it as if she didn't see it. He only instructed the maid next to him: "I heard that there is a little girl in this village who can cook, can you go and find it for me?" ”

The maid went down as promised, and in a short time came with oranges.

Zhihua first looked at the orange, and saw that although she was wearing ordinary clothes, her clothes were very clean, and her nails were white and clean, so she nodded first.

"Where did you learn this craft?" When she was at home, she heard someone say, what kind of cool rice noodles, isn't this something that only exists in modern times?!

Since she passed it on to Zhihua, although she eats and wears well, she misses modern food very much!

Orange replied skillfully: "This is what Zhao Lang taught me again from the recipe he read in the ancient book." ”

In ancient times, there was no such thing as a fiancé, and he was called "Lang Jun" before marriage.

Zhihua sneered in her heart, learned from books? I may agree with you when you say cold skin rice noodles, but there are no hams and instant noodles and goat milk pastries, which are all modern things!

Ever since she had eaten the cold peel that her family had bought once, she had already secretly asked people to inquire about the situation of the orange family.

Zhihua also wanted to ask a few words in English to try it, but unfortunately the person who went to pick up her relatives came back, and Orange quickly confessed and went to the kitchen to help.

Why did she think that the eyes of this lady of Landlord Li's family were a little sharp? Anyway, she was very uncomfortable to watch.

Zhihua didn't stop her, anyway, as long as she stayed in Qinglian Town for a day, she would be able to find her.

**

There was a lot of bustling crowds around the groom, and everyone was waiting to see him carry the bride across the brazier.

The second child hugged the petite Xiaocui across the three braziers and applauded a lot. The boss was in charge of sprinkling jelly beans on the side, and the little children surrounded him like crazy, staring at his hands.

When worshipping the church, Jia Shi took off a red gold bracelet from her wrist, this was still given to her by her mother-in-law, Qinglan looked at it from the side, her eyes were red, it was pure gold!

Anyway, she is a sister-in-law, and she also gave birth to her eldest son and grandson, why did the second daughter-in-law favor her as soon as she came!

I knew that this was the result, how to let Dong Xiaoting enter the door at the beginning, anyway, everyone is the same daughter-in-law, unlike now, the second daughter-in-law is the mother-in-law's niece.

Jia Shi lowered her head and took a sip of tea, she also saw clearly what the eldest daughter-in-law was like, anyway, they would not follow the old family in the future.

The second child separated them when they became married, which was also promised to his sister-in-law at the beginning.

After the worship, the bride is sent to the cave room, and the task is completed after Orange and Pear Blossom bring the food to the table. Xiuxiu came over and pulled them in to accompany the bride.

Xiao Cui looked nervous, her hands kept tugging at her clothes, and her voice trembled a little when she spoke.

The oranges have made some small snacks in advance, only the size of a fingernail, one bite at a time, and they will not get lipstick at all.

Xiaocui thanked her gratefully, her mother was afraid that she would go to the toilet, so she didn't even let her drink a sip of water, she was already so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back.

Quietly lifted the corner of the hijab, revealing a pink face, eyebrows like thin willows, and if you look closely, you can still see fluff.

"The second sister-in-law is really good-looking!" Pear Blossom smiled sweetly.

Xiao Cui blushed shyly and quickly put the small pastry in her mouth.

**

Orange and Pear Blossom had been busy for a day, and they couldn't wait for Chi Dazhu and Zhao He, who were drinking in front, for fear that the Sun family would be lonely at home, so they went home early.

Grape heard the footsteps of the two of them, and came out from afar to greet them, this dog has been raised for more than a month, and has grown a lot, and at first glance it can frighten many people.

The orange fell into bed and wanted to sleep, Jiaojiao took the initiative to stay and help the Huang family cook, and at this time she had already boiled the water and waited for the orange to wash.

Seeing that Kung Fu Orange had fallen asleep for such a while, Jiaojiao had no choice but to help her wipe her body lightly. Huang looked carefully under the window and went back to gossip with Chen.

Chen's son now has a son who doesn't have to worry about everything, listening to Huang's words, she also feels a little guilty, she has been snubbing a lot of oranges this month, and oranges are still thinking about how to help her adjust her body all day long.

"This aunt Chi's daughter is not simple, you have seen her come to our house for so many days, and you have not even mentioned her father. I'm afraid we won't be happy to hear it. "Huang has seen a lot of people, and his eyes are very sharp.

"Isn't it, how good our family is to her, Orange always gives her money, and she is torn twice for new clothes. She doesn't want to stay in our house. ”

Huang sighed, why is this girl not as clever as before after giving birth? "If she just wants to stay here, it's better to say, Aunt Chi hasn't come to the door for a month, and the food she took from us earlier must have been eaten, like her temperament?"

was so little by the Huang family, and the Chen family suddenly realized, isn't it. At the beginning, she didn't want Jiaojiao to stay, and another reason was that she was afraid that Aunt Chi would come to the door twice in three days.

"Forget it, you should rest assured that you will be confined. I'll take the time to talk to Orange that she's more transparent than you are now. When the rotten egg comes out of the full moon, let's take a long-term view. ”

Chen nodded contentedly, slapped the rotten egg's ass and fell asleep.

***

How dry is Qinglian Town now? It hadn't rained heavily in more than a month, and the water in the North River was much shallower than usual, and I was able to swim in the past, but now it was just below my ankles.

At the beginning, Village Chief Li led everyone to step on the water truck to water the ground, and now there is not much water in the well. God didn't kill them all, and there was occasionally a little rain in the sky, so no one starved to death.

Orange told the Chen family and the Sun family not to leak the fact that they had food, if this was known by others, their family would have no way to live.

They also know the strictness of things, Jiaojiao feels that she has eaten more food, and she rushes to work every time, especially as soon as the oranges are cooked, she stands next to her and does chores, and she can't drive away.

Swallow and gourd don't understand anything, and they are the most carefree. The two of them catch and play with gnats and crickets all day long, and Erni doesn't care about him, she is pregnant with another one in her belly.

Chunmiao is under more pressure now, and her stomach still hasn't moved.

She also quietly asked Lao Huang to check the pulse, Lao Huang said that she had nothing to do, and fate would be there, but God, when will fate come?

Her mother-in-law didn't say it, but she must have been disappointed in her heart, even Qingwa was a little disappointed, she always had to come back at night, in order to conceive a child as soon as possible!

Last time, her mother also told her not to worry, but she was so anxious that her mouth was foaming, and she was afraid that Qingwa would take her home.

**

When the rotten egg was full moon, a lot of people came, and the mothers-in-law gathered together to scold God for not opening his eyes. They don't have much food at home, and Dudao already knows that they won't sell food anymore.

Ximei heard her sister-in-law say that the food shops in the town are closed, and now she wants to exchange money for food, one word - difficult!

They are still fine here, but the south, which has always been rainy, is now dripping, and many people have fled to their side. I heard that many people died, and on a hot day, there was no doubt that there would be an outbreak of plague.

Last time, when Aunt Chi came to their house, she also took a bag of millet and a bag of sorghum rice. She had to rummage in the kitchen, and she didn't see anything big.

There is an extra Jiaojiao at home, and many things are inconvenient. Orange didn't plan to tell her about the cellar, but he dug it to save his life. If you tell Aunt Sù Chi, you don't have to know it all over the world.

So while Jiaojiao went to deliver food to Yanzi, Orange repeatedly warned Chi Dazhu not to go to the cellar during this time.

The people in the old courtyard came very early today, and Zhou also took a piece of flower cloth rarely, but it seems that it may be the bottom of the box in her dowry, the color has faded a lot, and the creases are also very strict.

The oranges were happily accepted, and she only begged them to come home early after dinner today, and not to make trouble. The full moon is a big event in the countryside, and it is related to the rest of your life.

Jiaojiao sensibly poured a glass of water for everyone, and when Zhou saw that it was sugar water poured for her, her face changed. They can't open the pot at home, can the Dazhu family still eat sugar?

Hao Shi saw his mother-in-law like this, and sighed, it's really mud that can't support the wall! What's the matter with you what's going on at home, you can also drink sugar water if you have the ability, see if Mrs. Chi doesn't break your legs! What kind of sour water are you doing here?

But she won't say it stupidly, Nini is still young, and when she likes to drink sugar water the most, she has to thank Orange and them.

Yu Shi uncharacteristically and kindly took Jiaojiao's hand: "Yo, I see that I have gained a lot of weight, is it that your second uncle's family is extraordinarily supportive?" What is delicious for you to eat all day long? Is it possible to make white-flour steamed buns every day? ”

She was also forced to have no choice, Chi Dazhuan is an honest person, she has said several times that she wants to split up the family, but he has pushed her.

But if she doesn't split up, she doesn't want to use the money earned by her man to support the eldest family!

Saying this is to provoke the Zhou family and let her talk about separating from Mrs. Chi.

Chi Pozi and Zhou really pricked up their ears and sounded, and it seemed that as long as Jiaojiao said yes, they would be able to roll and splash immediately.

How can there be a father and mother who are going to starve to death, and they still eat white flour steamed buns for a meal! One person in the village can drown them with a single spit.

Jiaojiao pulled her hand back and said with a smile: "How can it, it's the second aunt and second uncle who hurt me, and every time the small fish I hunt enters my stomach." ”

Yu didn't believe it, "Now that the water is dry, how can there be any small fish to fight?" Jiaojiao, don't coax me. ”

Uncle Chen's daughter-in-law, Qi Shi, had a big belly, and her willow eyebrows were upside down: "What do you mean by this?" Do you have to watch my niece's house eat nests, are you happy? ”

Yu still wanted to say something more, but seeing that Zhou and Hao were both watching the show, they snorted in their hearts and stopped talking.

She didn't believe that Zhou could hold back and not ask!

Orange didn't know what her feelings were for Jiaojiao, the two also slept in a bed to study, at the beginning she was very uncomfortable, looking at Jiaojiao everywhere was not pleasing to the eye, and even regretted agreeing to let Jiaojiao stay.

Now I feel that although Jiaojiao has a lot of eyes, she is also sincerely working in their house.

**

Aunt Chi had already eaten the food she took from Orange's house, and when no one was paying attention, she pulled Jiaojiao aside to talk. She has a belly to ask.

"My good boy, have you learned it all?"

Jiaojiao looked at the new clothes that were wrinkled by her mother, and felt very uncomfortable. She didn't want Aunt Chi to come at all, she felt that she had finally gained a foothold in the orange family, and she was ruined as soon as she came.

She sometimes complains to God, why didn't she be born in the second uncle's family? If she was born in the second uncle's family, Songbai would definitely teach her how to cook, and she wouldn't have to make oranges all day long.

Thinking of this, he said angrily: "How can it be as easy as you say!" Sister Orange usually doesn't let me into the kitchen, I just want to learn secretly and there is no place! ”

Aunt Chi was anxious when she heard this, "Why are you so stupid!" It's been a month, and the family is still waiting for you to earn money to open the pot. ”

After a while, she was still angry, and almost wanted to hit her with a firewood stick, Jiaojiao glared and said, "You fight, wait for Sister Orange to ask in the evening to see what I say!" ”

Aunt Chi originally wanted to scare her, but when she said this, she put it down, and didn't forget to instruct: "You are smart, I don't think this orange is hard-hearted, you just go to the kitchen a few more times." She even taught that pear blossom, can her sister not teach? ”

Jiaojiao nodded perfunctorily, "I know, mother, this is the pocket money that Sister Orange usually gives me, you go back to fill the house." And don't come again, they will be upset when they see you, and they won't teach me well when the time comes! ”

When she thinks about that home, she has a headache. Dad and his brothers either gamble or drink and sleep, and the work in the field depends on the mother and a woman. My sister thinks about getting married all day long, and she embroiders flowers in the house.

How can you stay comfortable in Orange's house, the cushion you sleep on at night is soft, and you don't usually have to do heavy work, Sister Orange also gave her money. In a month's time, she was given almost 500 wen, 300 in her own hands, and 200 for the first 200 in her family.

She's kind of interesting, it's what she worked for, so she has to keep some self-defense.

Unfortunately, Zhou, who came out to relieve himself, heard these words, and kept staring at Aunt Chi during the meal, Aunt Chi didn't know that Zhou already knew, and glared back at her unwillingly.

The rotten egg grabbed a pen and a book when he caught Zhou, and Orange was teaching him a few days ago, for fear that he would take the wrong one today.

Fortunately, his parents will not object to studying in the future.

Chi Dazhu was really happy, and kept showing off to Zhao He, Zhao He had to keep echoing him, this little doll was said by the two of them to be the future prime minister, and the court could not be less!

Orange listened happily to the sidelines, and said to the rotten egg who was yawning: "You have to study hard in the future, and my mother is still waiting for you to earn her life!" ”

"It's not uncommon for us to have a fate, as long as we grow up peacefully." Chen's mouth has never been closed today.

The midwife was the village chief's aunt, Granny Li, and she said a few festive words with a very good eye, praising Chen's blessings, good rotten eggs, and good orange craftsmanship.

Everyone began to give gifts to rotten eggs, and Huang gave a long-life lock, and the weight of sterling silver was not light. Both Mao and Qi are a penny, plus a basket of eggs.

Chi Pozi originally only took a tiger head shoe, and at this time she was embarrassed to take out her hand, so she had to grit her teeth and take off a bracelet from her wrist, looking terrible.

Zhou took out the piece of cloth he brought earlier, "This cloth was given by my mother when she added makeup to me, and the material is very good." I didn't even want to take it out when I married in the distant mountains, so I kept it for the rotten eggs to use when I got married! ”

Chen nodded, "Thank you sister-in-law, I will definitely stay until the rotten egg gets married!" ”

Everyone laughed, the child had just reached the full moon, and it was time to get married.

***

Besides, when Songbai and the others met the water thieves, a young man from Maojia Village happened to masturbate himself under the cabin of the boat, and the water thieves didn't find it, but they were so frightened that they couldn't stand up anymore.

He took advantage of the moonlight to sneak off the boat and begged all the way back to Qinglian Town. When I got home, my mother didn't recognize me, and everyone in a village ran out to see the excitement.

It happened that someone knew Sun Huaifeng and knew that his nephew was also on this boat, so he hurriedly asked someone to sue him.

This Sun Huaifeng is also a knowledgeable person, and he came to ask this person in person, and repeatedly confirmed that his nephew was in trouble.

When the man was under the cabin of the ship, he happened to hear Xiongzi shouting, but it was Songbei who injured his arm when he fought with the water thieves, and he thought that Songbai had died directly.

So he said: "I'm not sure about other people, this Zhao Songbai I am most impressed, he was directly killed by the water thief with a sword when he was fighting people on the deck." ”

He was so sure that Sun Huaifeng believed most of it, but he still asked an acquaintance to inquire again.

After searching for a long time and no results, I gradually believed that my nephew had been killed.

What he is making trouble now is, how to talk to his sister's family about this?

His daughter, Sun Jingxian, is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and has always been his interpreter, so she immediately said: "Dad, let's talk to my aunt earlier, otherwise wouldn't she be even more sad when she heard it from others?" I was able to go to their house for a while and comfort my aunt. ”

Sun Huaifeng nodded, and took his daughter to Chenjiazhuang.
