Chapter Forty-Eight: The Wonderful Feng Family
What Jinxiu didn't expect was that she had no intention of caring about others, but others had to come close and ask her to take care of them!
This person is not far from Jinxiu, it is the Feng family!
Things have to be said from a few days ago: that day Feng Jin left Dongshan Village in a hurry, and hurried back to Nanxi Village to reunite with his wife and children, the old man Feng felt very uncomfortable after knowing it, plus Feng Lianhua, who had carried the letter, did not return to his parents' house to visit him, and the two little daughters who stayed by his side, Feng Taohua wanted to embroider her dowry, Feng Liuhua also had to do embroidery work for pocket money, and would not take the initiative to pour him a bowl of hot soup to drink, the second daughter-in-law Liu and granddaughter Feng Yuzhen did not enter his room, Feng Zaohua was not biological, let alone looked down, Only Feng Liang is responsible for taking care of him, but Feng Liang is also old, it is no problem to bring soup and water to wipe his face, but it is difficult to carry a bucket of hot water to bathe him! Old Man Feng, who has been sick in bed for several days, actually wants to take a bath, his body is itchy, but there are so many people in the family, even when Feng Jin was there, no one brought it up, and he wanted to prepare hot water to scrub and scrub his body for him!
Old man Feng was sulking in his heart, depressed, and somehow remembered his eldest daughter-in-law Tian, who once fell down on the bed for several days because of the wind cold, at that time it was Tian who was responsible for serving him soup and water, and every three or two days Jinxiu and Jinyu would carry hot water into the house, and then the mother and daughter rolled up their sleeves to wash his hair and wipe his back, and poured the hot water into a large basin, let him soak in it for a while, and then asked Liu Da next door to come in to help him get up and dress......
Old Man Feng always thought that it was Feng Liang who arranged for Tian to do that, but now that he thinks about it, Feng Liang himself is afraid of the cold, and he doesn't take a bath for five or six days, so he will give him a bath in three or two days!
He sighed, how could he forget this stubble? Tian, she's a good one!
Old man Feng also valued face very much when he was young, but now that he is older, he feels that sometimes he doesn't need to be too serious with the juniors, so he made up his mind: go to Tian to apologize, and ask her to forgive the old man for being confused and confused.
If there is an idea, there is action, the old man Feng coughed and gasped and got out of bed, supported the sick body with a crutch and then supported by his grandson Feng Yuhai, the grandparents and grandchildren moved step by step and took half a day to walk to the west of Dongshan Village, but it happened that Grandpa Tian went back that day because of something at home, and the eldest aunt was in the new house, Jinxiu was busy with Fang Da Niu in the town about washing soap, Jinyu Jinyun followed Yu into the vegetable garden to cut vegetables, but no one stopped Old Man Feng, so he let him see Tian.
Aunt Tian blamed Tian Shibai more than once for looking like a cheerful and neat look, full of water tofu, Tian saw the withered and sick appearance of the old man Feng, and his eyes were full of tears, and he relented very lightly, not only gave him a bottle of autumn pear paste, but also wrapped a large bag of dried peach flesh, raisins and apricots, and told the old man to eat it slowly, and it would be gone if he divided the people, because she heard Jinxiu say: These preserved fruits are sold in the big hotel in the town, because the shopkeeper still wants to buy her lion's mane mushroom, so he is willing to sell it to her with less money, Precious herbs are used in the preparation of zuò, so these preserved fruits have the effect of strengthening the body and preventing diseases!
Tian was not so idiotic as to say all the words of his daughter, but tactfully told Old Man Feng: It was brought by the children's cousin-in-law from the county seat, it is very delicious, chew a few grains to relieve boredom in your spare time, and you can also replenish your body!
Of course, the Tian family didn't agree to Old Man Feng, everyone still came and went with relatives, she was fed up with the Feng family, and didn't want to entangle with them anymore, so she just sent Old Man Feng away.
And Old Man Feng didn't know if it was a psychological effect or what, he took the bottle of autumn pear paste and preserved fruit home, only ate half a bottle of autumn pear paste, and the next day he was cured!
At that moment, he hid the remaining half bottle of autumn pear paste as a treasure, and only took half of those preserved fruits to Feng Liang's family and let her distribute them to the children, and the other half, he chewed and ate it slowly, and gave a few grains to his two grandchildren from time to time, making Feng Taohua and Feng Liuhua so aggrieved that they shed tears, so Feng Liang quarreled with Old Man Feng a lot.
Feng Jin was sick and was dismissed to live in his home for a long time, although the old man Feng was willing to see his son from time to time, but in this way, his son would have less income, and it was a year of famine, and the food at home was not enough to eat, and he still wanted to rely on his son to help him, but now with his son's family of four eating idle meals, his old man felt that the pressure was not ordinary.
Therefore, he wanted to make Feng Jin do his best to get better, seeing that the New Year was coming, and he had to find some errands to earn a few dollars to subsidize the family, the old man fumbled and took out his half bottle of autumn pear paste and gave it to Feng Jin to eat.
At the beginning, Feng Jin and Xiao Liang did not believe that such an ordinary white porcelain bottle contained something that could cure diseases, and the old man Feng saw that they were disgusted, and got angry, saying that it was a mountain pear picked by Jinxiu into the mountain, and it was refined by adding many medicinal materials according to the secret recipe found in the medical book, which was not only nourishing but also curing, and the eldest daughter-in-law Tian gave him four bottles, all of which were eaten by a few girls who had no conscience, and looked at how moisturized the little faces of those girls were, and their cheeks were not so good in the cold weather in previous years! This time, the old man went to ask Tian again to get a bottle, and he only ate half a bottle, Feng Jin didn't eat it, and the old man still wanted to keep it!
Feng Jin heard that this was the autumn pear paste made by Jinxiu, and wanted to see what was going on, so he asked Xiao Liang to take two spoonfuls and mix them into hot water to drink, but he felt that the soup was sweet and sweet, the smell was fragrant, and the throat and chest were smooth and comfortable.
Xiao Liang heard that this autumn pear paste can moisturize the skin, so he couldn't help but taste two spoonfuls, and then transferred it to his children to drink, Yujiao still drank it after drinking, Xiao Liang secretly wondered in his heart: Jinxiu, can make such a good thing! Not only is it delicious, but it also tones the body and nourishes the complexion! If you make more and sell it, won't it be very profitable?
Tian's mother and daughter, do they lack hearts? Such a good way to make money will not be used, and a while ago he actually went to Nanxi Village pitifully to ask Feng Jin for money!
Xiao Liang's heart had a thought that she shouldn't have, but she didn't know that Old Man Feng had already raised his face to Feng Jin'er, asking him to use no matter what method he used, no matter what, he must re-attribute the Tian family mother and daughter to the Feng family's household registration!
"Tian is only thirty-three, and he is still young and can still have a son! In the past, she worked every day, exposed to the sun and rain, and only got older, but now Jinxiu and Jinyu are capable, Jinxiu will make money, Jinyu Jinyun helps to work, and Tian will be blessed! She drank the autumn pear paste made by Jinxiu, ate the mountain delicacies picked back by Jinxiu, and Jinxiu also bought a lot of delicious preserved fruits for her to relax, she didn't know how comfortable her life was! Now he is wide and fat, with a red face, and his appearance is even better than when he was young, if you don't hurry up, I'm afraid that I will fall into the hands of others! Think of your three daughters, who have grown up and are capable! The new house for Tian's family is all the credit of Splendor, and in the future, even Tian Jinshui's bad old man will enjoy happiness! ”
Old Man Feng said, remembering that Grandpa Tian was holding a bowl of steaming mutton soup while drinking it while blocking him from looking for Jinxiu, that bowl of mutton, it was so fragrant that his saliva came down, but he didn't taste it at all, and it all went into the dead old man's stomach!
Old man Feng recalled the past, his heart hurt and cried, Feng Jin secretly slandered: Now that I know that I regret it, why did I listen to the old Liang family earlier, for a few taels of silver, I didn't blame you!
Feng Jin knows etiquette and understands filial piety, so naturally he won't really blame his father, he only promises that he will go to Tian's mother and daughter, and reunite with Tian's as much as possible, so that the new house he is working on is the Feng family's, and maybe the whole family can live in it during the New Year.
Old Man Feng nodded again and again: He had seen Tian's house and land, and there was no man to help with the plan, and the mother didn't understand anything, so he bought eight acres in one go! Eight acres, all encircled into the wall, the foundation looks at it, it is a courtyard to be raised three times!
Three into the courtyard, a brand new red brick and blue tile house, the main house is built on two floors, the upstairs is also flat and strong, the girl's boudoir and the boy's study are the best, you can look at the wild scenery from afar, open-minded! When my eldest son was young, he liked to climb trees to read books, but now, he doesn't have to climb trees! I heard that the ground should also be paved with thick floor tiles, stone strips on the side, and a blue brick wall around it, with a century-old golden ebony compound gate found in the mountain...... Oh, the landlord's house in Xishan Village is not so magnificent, the splendid old Feng family has done it at a young age!
Feng Jin has been sick for a while, his mentality has changed a lot, and he also feels that he really shouldn't be with Tian and the separated daughter before, after all, the daughter is biological, and she is connected by blood and blood, how can she say that she doesn't want it?
He was full of ambition and ready to go to Tian's family, but Old Man Feng was full of expectations, and the father and son felt too good about themselves, so they couldn't help but preach to the women and children below: I am going to live in a new house during the New Year! The two-story red brick house is ten times better than the landlord's house!
These words suddenly made the Feng family, young and old, fall into a dreamy dream for a while!
Xiao Liang's kept a clear head, she understood that if the Feng family could live in the big house of the Tian family, then it must be in exchange for her interests - Feng Jin and the Tian family reunited, in order to stabilize the Tian family, the old man Feng would definitely take Feng Jin to live in the Tian family's house, and when the time comes, maybe the Tian family will have to give birth to a son!
In this way, the husband who loves her will inevitably love her and the pair of children she gave birth to!
In the past, Xiao Liang's would not have allowed this to happen, but now, Xiao Liang felt that she had to endure it, and the situation of the Feng family made her feel cold in her heart: If the Tian family wants to go back to the Feng family, then go back, no matter what, she and her husband can't be trapped in the Feng family! Her children can't follow the hardships and poverty, their family has to earn out, and when her husband gains fame and has the ability to buy a house outside, no one can tie up her small family!
Therefore, for the sake of the overall situation, Xiao Liang is ready to let her husband out for a while!
In addition, Xiao Liang secretly made up her mind: as a reward for giving up her husband, she wanted to seek a little benefit from Jinxiu!
If the Jinxiu sisters learned about the Feng family's strange thoughts, even if they didn't vomit three liters of blood, they would be so angry that their eyes would roll white.
To be able to live in a brand new big house that is better than the landlord's house, the happiest thing is Feng Taohua, Feng Liuhua and Feng Yuzhen, the little girl's temperament, eating well and living well is the first, and she has to compare with her peers, and her vanity is full of vanity!
Especially Feng Taohua is ready to get married, and she can let her husband's family marry her from such a glamorous court, and she will not be decent in her husband's family in the future!
What Feng Liuhua thought was that if she lived in such a good house, she would definitely be able to say that she had a better in-law than the town! Maybe she will marry into the county seat like Yang Dongmei, and even the state and provincial capitals!
Feng Yuzhen, who is only half a year younger than Feng Jinyun, has a much simpler idea: she can also tie beautiful braids like Jinyun from now on and eat a lot of delicious snacks!
Every time the little girls in the village get together to play, Jinyun is dressed neatly, and the delicate and beautiful hair braids and colorful ribbons can always arouse the envy and jealousy of the girls in the village...... Today's Jinyun is even more respected than the young lady of a rich family!
Feng Yuzhen doesn't ask for too much, what Jinyun has, she also has it, that's it!
In addition to the excitement of the aunts and nephews, they have to go to the west of the village to see the new house almost every morning and evening, pointing while watching, and pre-booking the room they will stay in!
Whether Feng Jin communicated with the Tian family or not, and what the result was, no one knew specifically, Old Man Feng was convinced that his son was enough in Tian's heart, as long as Feng Jin said a few soft words, Tian would definitely change his mind immediately!
Jinxiu was very busy during this time, and she couldn't say two words to her mother and sister every day, and she didn't know much about the Feng family's plans.
In November, the weather was very cold and cold, and in mid-November, snow particles began to fall in the sky, and then goose feather snow flakes fell sporadically, and after more than ten days of alternating snow particles and goose feather snow flakes, the weather suddenly became worse - heavy rain poured down, and the rain was not only mixed with goose feather snow flakes, but also dense snow particles, the snow particles were as big as a person's thumb, and as small as beans.
If this is placed in the past life of Jinxiu, it is called hail, but the current years and months are called snow particles.
The dense snow particles that fall in November may be related to the drought in the summer, the villagers say.
Fortunately, in the winter, there were no crops in the fields, and all the turnips, wead and mustard greens in the vegetable garden were harvested and stored.
The snow rain stopped a little after three or five days, the snow particles were less, the rain stopped, but the goose feather snow flakes fell to the ground in clumps, and the snow on the ground in Dongshan Village was soon knee-deep!
And at this time, people reacted: this is not ordinary rain and snow, it is simply a snow disaster!
Five or six families in the village had their houses crushed by the snow, some only half-collapsed, some completely collapsed!
The Feng family was also crushed by the snow - the thatched house in the west wing where Tian's mother and daughter lived and the firewood and straw shed that had been half empty had all collapsed, the pigsty was fine, the tiled house and kitchen in the east wing were fine, and the hall in the middle of the main house was also lost!
The west house where Liu and a son and a daughter live and the east house where Feng Jin and his wife live only leaked a little rain and snow, and did not collapse, the old man Feng and Feng Liang slept in the back half of the hall, and were buried alive by snowdrifts and rubble in the middle of the night, unable to move, and their bodies were cold and painful, and they shouted that they broke their throats, and then they woke Feng Jin up, and hurriedly called the whole family to get up, and dug the old couple out, the old couple was not killed by rubble and snow particles, but they were frozen and turned into zombies, and they were roasted for a long time before they returned to their souls!
After dawn, Old Man Feng and Feng Liang sighed at the main house where they had lived for decades, Liu hugged a pair of children left and right, and Feng Jin and Xiao Liang's family of four also hugged each other to comfort and encourage each other: If you don't die, you will have a blessing!
Under Feng Liuhuati, the whole family discussed and agreed that the old house was in disrepair and suffered from a snow disaster, and it was necessary to live again, and the new house on Tian's side has been built, so everyone quickly packed up their things and moved into the new house today!
The women stayed at home to clean up, and Old Man Feng lame on one leg and Feng Jin went over to talk to Tian first.
Feng Yuhai wanted to help his grandfather, Feng Yuwen followed Feng Jin, Feng Yujiao couldn't do without her brother and also went, Xiao Liang was worried that the snow was too slippery and a pair of children were not safe to walk, so he simply locked the door and followed.
The hall collapsed, the east house and the west house looked very dangerous, the women of the Feng family were just frightened, I believe that they will not be able to have the strength and spirit to pry her door and steal her things in a short time, I heard the sister-in-law say that the new house is very beautiful, she has to go to see it first, pick a good room, and then come back to pack her things is not too late!
