206 Quiet and urbane
Li Xiaocao was reluctant to see Lu Yan stay up late, and she didn't care about her clothes, so she got up and gently persuaded: "Yan Yan, why don't you sleep?" Are you feeling upset? If you have anything to say to your mother, your mother will help you solve it! ”
Her face was full of distress, and her wrinkled face looked more and more kind in the lamplight.
Hidden in every wrinkle is love for children.
And Lu Yan, she hurt even more to the bones, and her eyes were gentle and distressed.
Lu Yan's heart instantly felt sour, got up and dropped the book, took Li Xiaocao's hand and lay back on the bed.
"Mother, I just suddenly thought of a question, hurry up and take a look."
Originally, Lu Yan wanted to perfunctory the past, so that Li Xiaocao could go to bed quickly, otherwise tomorrow would be a busy day, and no matter how much she persuaded Li Xiaocao during the day, she would not be willing to squint for a while.
How do you know that Li Xiaocao was silent, folded the quilt for Lu Yan, and said distressedly: "Good girl, there is something that can't be hidden, you came to Nanshan Village from Beijing alone and suffered a lot!"
In the past, although I liked you in my heart, I didn't dare to approach you because of the rumors of outsiders. finally married you back, my mother is reluctant to let you suffer a little grievance! Tell your mother, why can't you sleep? ”
Lu Yan: ...... Who can sleep for eight hours?
Of course, she couldn't tell Li Xiaocao that she had slept for eight hours.
After holding it for a long time, I could only say: "Mother, I miss Gu Ye, as soon as he leaves suddenly, I can't sleep." ”
Sure enough, Li Xiaocao immediately said, "What do you want him to do?" I'm telling you, men don't have anything to think about! Although he is my son, I should say that I still have to say,
The two of you are husband and wife, but you can't even sleep for him. You should eat and drink, he should make money outside, if he thinks in his heart, you will naturally come back as soon as possible, and he will be happy to see you eat fat and fat.
If he doesn't miss you, I'll knock his head when he enters the door! I only recognize my daughter-in-law, not my son! You can rest assured, my mother is definitely towards you. Or is there something wrong with Gu Ye that makes you feel uneasy? ”
When Lu Yan saw her like this, she felt a little sorry for Gu Ye.
Hurriedly said good things to Gu Ye: "Mother, he is very good to me, but he is very good, so I will be reluctant to him, oops, it's not reluctant,
I'm worried that he won't be able to eat well! Who made our guys eat well? Forget it, I'm so sleepy, let's sleep! ”
She closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
Li Xiaocao listened for a while, and saw that Lu Yan seemed to be asleep, so she also closed her eyes and fell asleep.
A second later, the snoring resumed.
Lu Yan opened her eyes quietly, she really admired Li Xiaocao, this is definitely a second sleep!
This night, Lu Yan didn't dare to get up again, she didn't move, lying on the bed and thinking about everything in her previous life and this life.
I couldn't help but feel sleepy when I thought about it all the time, and I fell asleep again.
This time, because he slept too deeply, he was not woken up by Li Xiaocao.
At half past five the next morning, Li Xiaocao got up to make breakfast.
The roosters of every household in the village craned their necks and crowed as if they were playing, and the morning mist was curling, and the old man from several families was habitually coughing and coughing, as if he wanted to cough out his lungs.
Gu Yaohua had already returned with Gu Shan.
Father and son got up at half-past four to go for a run, and came back sweaty but refreshed.
Gu Shan went back to the house to see Wang Xiaojuan, and Gu Yaohua went straight to the stove room to help Li Xiaocao do things.
Li Xiaocao was scooping water with a gourd, and Gu Yaohua sat down directly to prepare for the fire.
He looked at Li Xiaocao: "Daughter-in-law, how did you sleep last night?" ”
Li Xiaocao sighed: "It's not that you don't know that I slept as soon as I touched the pillow, but the second daughter-in-law didn't know what, I couldn't sleep at night, I coaxed for a long time, and I was reluctant to go out." ”
Gu Yaohua opened his mouth, but stopped talking.
Li Xiaocao keenly caught the abnormality of his man: "What's the matter? What are you going to say? ”
Gu Yaohua hurriedly said, "It's nothing." ”
Li Xiaocao felt that something was wrong at that time, and held the gourd scoop fiercely: "Gu Yaohua, can you bear it?" Dare to hide it from me? Say it! ”
No matter how powerful Gu Yaohua is, I don't know what's going on, and I was still a little stunned when I saw my daughter-in-law, so I hurriedly recruited him.
He held a burning stick in his hand and sneered: "Otherwise, don't sleep with the second daughter-in-law at night, maybe she will sleep better......"
Li Xiaocao's eyes glared: "Don't even think about it!" As long as the second child is not at home these days, I must accompany the second daughter-in-law!
A few days ago, the little daughter-in-law of the Chen family was bitten by a snake while sleeping at home with her children, and I estimated that the second daughter-in-law was scared when she heard about it. ”
Gu Yaohua sighed: "On the day that happened, Gu Ye brought a lot of lime and realgar back, and the corners of our yard were scattered, not to mention that we are a new house.
The doors and windows are all closed, and it is not an earthen house, how can there be snakes? You, you sleep...... I guess no one but me can still sleep next to you. ”
Li Xiaocao was a little confused: "Gu Yaohua, what do you mean?" ”
Seeing that she was a little anxious, Gu Yaohua could only tell the truth.
"Alas, little grass! You have been sleeping alone all these years, and the children don't know that you are sleeping and snoring, and I couldn't sleep at first after I came back, but now I'm used to it.
I can't hear you snoring, but I can't sleep well. But the second daughter-in-law is young, and she must be a little unacceptable. ”
This made Li Xiaocao embarrassed!
The gourd scoop in his hand was thrown into the water, and his face sank: "Gu Yaohua, you are snoring!" Your whole family is snoring! ”
Gu Yaohua hurriedly apologized: "Daughter-in-law, I was wrong!" ”
Li Xiaocao: "...... Why didn't you say it earlier! What did you do last night? If you have a long mouth, you only know ...... for a day"
I just know to gnaw on her face at night!
She scolded Gu Yaohua, and Gu Yaohua affirmed three times: "Daughter-in-law, what you said is right, daughter-in-law, I remember, daughter-in-law, don't be angry, I won't dare next time." ”
Until Li Xiaocao finished venting, he sighed heavily: "Alas! After doing it for a long time, I couldn't sleep because I snored her. ”
At the same time, he also felt a little guilty about Gu Yaohua, and specially made an extra egg for Gu Yaohua to eat in the morning.
Speaking of which, he scolded on his lips, and he knew very well in his heart that young couples were old companions.
It is not your parents or children who can accompany you to the end, but your other half.
This night, Li Xiaocao did not go to sleep with Lu Yan again.
It's just that before going to bed, I repeatedly told Lu Yan that if there was anything at night, I must call them, and the other thing is to lock the door.
"I just heard your dad say that I snore in my sleep, and I didn't know it before. In that case, I won't bother you, alas, it must have been me last night who made you not sleep well all night. Li Xiaocao felt guilty.
Lu Yan took out a pot of herbal water: "Mother, you didn't make much noise to me when you snored, I was just worried that your body would not be affected, and snoring would also affect your own sleep quality."
I read a book before and saw a recipe for sleeping, this is the water I bought in the herbs I bought in the town, you use this water to soak your feet and try it. ”
She was full of worries, and Li Xiaocao was so moved that she almost cried.
This herb water foot soak is really good!
After Li Xiaocao finished washing, he also asked Gu Yaohua to soak in the water he had soaked for a while.
This night, Li Xiaocao's snoring was really softer, and when she woke up the next morning, she felt a lot more comfortable!
She couldn't help but praise: "Yaohua, look at our Yanyan, it's really my intimate little padded jacket!" ”
As soon as Li Xiaocao was happy, he went to cut meat again, and took advantage of the time to get off work, first went to the tofu factory to buy a piece of tofu, and then went to cut two catties of pork.
When I came back and met people from the same village, they all asked enviously: "Li Xiaocao!" What are you going to do with this meat? ”
Li Xiaocao smiled and was in a good mood: "Isn't my eldest daughter-in-law pregnant?" I said I didn't want to eat anything, and I wanted to eat a dish of tofu stuffed with meat, so I went to buy some tofu and meat!
My little daughter-in-law also likes to eat fried brown tofu, stir-fry it with bean paste, and then put some meat foam, fragrant, the little girl can eat a bowl of rice! ”
She mentioned her two daughters-in-law, both of whom were like daughters.
Those people were envious.
Especially now that winter is out and it's just in time for spring ploughing.
Everyone is so tired from working that they stink to death, but they are reluctant to eat rice and noodles at home, the Gu family can eat meat, who is not envious?
But some people said: "This year, our village is doing well, Lu Zhiqing has made a vegetable greenhouse with everyone, and no one in our village has starved to death this year!"
If you put aside previous years, every household at this point is reluctant to put sorghum noodles in making wild vegetable dumplings, right? But this year, we can still afford to eat corn nests! ”
The aunt of the Gu family pursed her mouth: "You said it well!" A corn nest will make you happy! Do you know why the Gu family can afford to eat meat?
It's not Lu Zhiqing who is fishing for oil and water from the vegetable greenhouse! People are about to sell you, and you can pay back the number of people......"
The second aunt of the Gu family covered the scalp where she was cut off by Li Xiaocao last time, gritted her teeth and said, "You can pull it down!" Li Xiaocao married a little slut like Lu Zhiqing, it looks like he has taken advantage, but in fact it will definitely not be easy!
Do you see which mother-in-law doesn't eat ready-made food when she comes home from work? Li Xiaocao has to go back to cook after finishing his work in the field! I see she's going to be tired and burping one day!
This mother-in-law must learn to handle her daughter-in-law, if you hold her, you can fold her hand any day! ”
The mother-in-law surnamed Chen next to her looked at the patches on the two old women's bodies, and then looked at Li Xiaocao's new clothes, getting younger and younger, always full of smiles, and "cut" disdainfully!
Whether a person's life is good or not is all on his face.
The Gu family's big house has been built, Li Xiaocao's face has become more and more ruddy from the previous thin and thin, and new clothes and shoes have been quietly changed, which mother-in-law in the whole village is comparable to Li Xiaocao?
These sour chickens can't do anything but chew and curse here.
A few gossipy women gave each other a look, got up and left.
After the eldest aunt and the second aunt of the Gu family reacted, only the two of them were left in the empty threshing floor.
The two smiled awkwardly.
Slap your ass and go home.
Just walking, I smelled a smell of meaty tofu.
People want to cry!
It's not Li Xiaocao cooking today.
When she arrived home, she was coaxed by Lu Yan.
"Mother, your cooking is really delicious, I want to learn a dish, I can make it for my grandfather in the future, you light the fire, I will do it, you guide me, how about it?"
Wang Xiaojuan also came out of the house: "Mother, brother and sister, I'll do it!" I don't feel anything uncomfortable today...... ...... vomit"
She said as she turned her head uncontrollably and retched at the trash can next to her.
Lu Yan and Li Xiaocao were startled, and Wang Xiaojuan could only go back to lie down with a white face.
In the end, Li Xiaocao couldn't resist Lu Yan and promised to teach her how to cook this dish, but it didn't stop there.
"My mother taught you to cook, but I didn't let you serve a big family for the rest of your life. Our generation of women is already very miserable, going around the stove all day long, but now men and women are equal,
In the future, even if you live alone with Gu Ye, you can't do everything, men also have hands and feet to cook and wash clothes, you know? ”
Lu Yan's fair and beautiful face was well-behaved, she held the spatula in her small hand and nodded vigorously: "Mother, I know!" ”
