Since coming to this strange place, she doesn't seem to have slept until she woke up naturally, but today she somehow slept until the hour of time, sitting on the bed, looking like she hadn't woken up, rubbing the corners of her eyes and squinting at the sky outside the window...... Oh no, one turned over, lifted the quilt on his body, took his coat and ran out, shouting outside as he ran

"Da Lang, why don't you wake me up, it's almost past when you see the sky, let's ......"

Pushing open the door and walking into the courtyard, I didn't see Xiao Dalang's figure, but I saw the Lan family and Mrs. Yu next to the well, and hurriedly stepped forward in surprise and said

"Mother, why did you come over, didn't you let Changsheng tell you that we would go over at night?"

Lan Shi looked up at his daughter, and said with a gentle smile, "I thought that there are so many things on your side, and your eldest sister helped me before, but now, your eldest sister also has her own affairs, and there is a lot less time to help you, my mother is afraid that you and Da Lang will not be able to do it, so I think that there is nothing to do at home now, so I will come to help you." By the way, the daughter-in-law of the Wang family also came over early in the morning, and now she goes to the tofu workshop in the village, saying that Dalang asked the family to help you send some tofu today. ”

She knew about the tofu delivery, and Changsheng came back yesterday and told her about it. And it will be the same number in the future, but isn't Sister-in-law Wang going to set up a stall in the morning? How could they come to their house. However, after thinking about it a little, I understood that the Wang family felt embarrassed, and thought that their family was busy these days, so they came over to help.

It's just that Brother Shugen and Qiangzi went to set up a stall, so who in their family will collect beans?

Lan didn't know what his daughter thought, and remembered that when Da Lang left in the morning, he said that he would let her stare at her daughter for breakfast, so he quickly put down the pig's head meat in his hand, wiped his hands, and got up and went to the kitchen

"Erya, come, this is my mother's red date porridge, these days Dalang said that you have worked hard. Eat more, but don't get sick. Mother, I used to worry that you would starve and suffer with me and your father, but now, I am worried that you are busy making money and getting tired. Erya, if you can't be busy, don't hold on, ask your father to come and help you, our family is not busy now, and your father is idle when he is idle. ”

Xia Cicada took a sip of porridge and ate a few more bites of cold vegetables. Chong Lan smiled

"Mother, I know. Now the eldest sister, eldest brother-in-law and Changsheng are all helping me with things, and it won't be too hard. You can rest assured. ”

Regarding Xia Chan's statement, Lan obviously didn't believe it. Seeing that she didn't listen to persuasion, her face showed a little displeasure

"I said that I wasn't tired, and I slept until three o'clock in the morning. It's just that Da Lang spoils you, if you change someone else, see what you do. Fortunately, you have split up, otherwise, your mother-in-law alone will be enough for you to have a headache. ”

Eh, Xia Chan was stunned, but she didn't expect her mother to say this. But...... Ahem, but ...... Can she say that she didn't get up this morning because she was too tired from being tossed by someone last night?

Well, she couldn't say why. Xiao Dalang counts you ruthlessly, see how I settle accounts with you tonight.

"Mother, don't talk about me yet, did my father go to collect beans with Changsheng? Also, did Changsheng go to the town to buy a vat? ”

"Went on. It's all gone, your father went to the town to buy a vat, and Changsheng and your brother-in-law went to collect beans."

Today's dried tofu was moved to the afternoon, worried that there would be many people at home in the afternoon, and the pot could not be moved, so I cleaned up the pig early and put it in the pot to cook. Seeing off Mrs. Yu, Xia Chan and Lan turned over the beans on the mat together

Sister-in-law Wang walked in at this time, still holding a plate of tofu in her hand, followed by Xiao San from the tofu workshop

"Da Lang's daughter-in-law, the tofu was delivered, is it still in the old position?"

"Yes, just put it on the kitchen board." Saying that, he got up and walked forward quickly to help, one hundred and fifty catties of tofu, which is very heavy, and the place where the kitchen can be put is full.

After Xiao San finished moving the tofu and left, Wang's sister-in-law saw that there was nothing that could help, and seeing that it was not early, and the head of the family should have come back from the town, so she chatted casually and went home.

"You neighbor is a good one, I heard before that you left the house from the old house, your father and I were really worried for a while, but I blame you for not being able to help you with your father. However, fortunately, our second child is a smart person, not only living a prosperous life by himself, but also letting his parents, sisters and younger brothers follow him. Dabao was able to go to the town to study, thanks to your sister. And the big girl..."

Xia Chan turned over the last bit of beans, got up and stretched, and turned his head to look at Lan helplessly

"Mother, what are you talking about, it's hard for me to get married, so I shouldn't recognize my mother's family. Besides, the eldest sister and Changsheng, they all earn money based on their abilities, I just provided an opportunity, if they don't fight themselves, even if they are sisters and brothers, I won't want them. ”

She is telling the truth, she is not a bodhisattva, she does not have such a big heart. If Xia Xiaohua and Xia Changsheng were the same as the old mansion, she would definitely not help.

There were a lot of people at noon, and I thought that my mother was coming to the door for the first time, so I made a big table full of dishes, and stuffed a big pot of rice, and several people who ate it were panicked.

"Since I came to my second sister's house, basically every time I finish eating, I hug my stomach"

Xia Changsheng, who has always been silent, put down his chopsticks and said suddenly

When the plug who was holding his stomach and humming on the side heard his uncle's words, he immediately nodded his head wildly and echoed:

"The dishes made by my aunt are better than those made by my mother."

Hearing this, Xia Xiaohua on the side reached out and hugged the bolt to his side, pinched his cheek and scolded with a smile

"If you have no conscience, you know how to shoot your aunt's ass, be careful that your mother won't cook for you in the future"

"Hey, what my uncle said is really right, you adults are really, why can't you listen to the truth?"

After the bolt finished speaking, he still looked annoyed, and suddenly amused a table of people.

Xia Chan didn't expect that this nephew, who is usually silent, is actually a black-bellied master.

In the afternoon, a large family was busy with dried tofu and pickled the dried beans in the yard. By the time these are ready, it's almost time to get them right.

Xia Chan looked at the sky with some sorrow, and thought of the eldest sister and her own mother's beans, which were just collected today, and they were not washed or dried. I'm afraid I can't do it today.

"Mother, don't come over tomorrow morning, I'll ask my sister to come over tomorrow morning, tomorrow afternoon, she will get them at home, I'll go back with Da Lang to help you get it"

On the second day, after lunch, Xia Chan asked Xia Xiaohua to drive his ox cart back to the village, and asked Xiao Dalang to go to the village to find an ox cart to come over, and load the dried tofu and braised pork made in the morning into the car.

Xia Tian and Lan are both diligent people, they washed all the beans overnight last night, and turned them over a few times early this morning, and they were dry by almost noon. I'm going to marinate it after lunch. lest your own daughter be tired

"Daddy, why didn't you wait for us, you started to get it"

Lan Shi placed the beans neatly one by one and then put them in the vat, heard the voice of his daughter, looked up and smiled, and said

"I've already done it once yesterday, and besides, it's not difficult to make this thing, my mother will do it. But you all said that you would not be allowed to go on this trip, so you must not listen. Look at the hot weather, come, hurry into the house to drink some water and quench your thirst. ”

Put the beans in his hand into the jar, wiped his hands, walked over and pulled Xia Chan and Xiao Dalang back to the house, as soon as they entered the house, Xia Tian was sitting on a small bench and poured salt into the jar

"Dad, why are you doing this?"

Wouldn't it be better to put it in a bag?

Xia Tian saw his daughter's question, and said with a smile, "When your mother asked me to buy salt yesterday, I bought more, so I thought that I shouldn't be able to use it up later, so I found a jar and put some in it first, so as not to get wet later." ”

Due to Xia Cicada's strong obedience, the Xia family pickled a total of ten jars of capers this time, filling the entire Westinghouse. Thinking of the price of 200 wen a catty, Xia Chan felt that she would wake up laughing when she dreamed. However, thinking of Murong Ye's nasty face, he couldn't laugh in an instant.

The Xia family are all diligent people, and with the addition of the two of them, ten jars of capers were pickled in less than two hours. Seeing that it was still early, Lan left the two of them to have dinner before leaving.

Xia Chan is not a hypocritical person, besides, this is still his own mother's family, so he agreed very painfully. And Xiao Dalang is where his daughter-in-law is, where he is, and what his daughter-in-law says is what.

"Child, father, you go to the chicken coop to catch an old hen and stew it for the second girl to eat at night"

The girl finally had a meal at home, and thinking about their hard work during this time, she remembered the old hen that laid eggs in the backyard, and heard that this stew was nutritious.

Xia Tian also felt sorry for his daughter, knowing that the old woman who had always picked the door was distressed about her daughter, so he got up with a cigarette bag and went to the backyard

Seeing this, Xia Changsheng on the side got up and followed him to the backyard. Xiao Dalang originally wanted to get close to his daughter-in-law, but the old man went to work, so he just sat and watched, as if he couldn't make sense. I got up and went to the backyard too.

Lan sat across from them, and she could see Xiao Dalang's thoughts clearly. Seeing that Xiao Dalang was a little depressed and walked out of the house, he turned his head and looked at his daughter with a relieved face and said

"I used to worry that you would not marry well, and Dalang would not treat you well, but now that you have such a good relationship between husband and wife, my mother is relieved. Erya, live a good life with Da Lang. It is not easy for a woman to marry a husband who loves her so much. ”

"I know my mother, but it's also his blessing that he can marry me."

When Lan saw his daughter, he rarely looked like a little daughter, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and took the handkerchief on the side and rusted

"Yes, yes, our second girl, smart, whoever marries is his blessing."

At dusk at the end of July, it was rare to be cool, and Lan pulled Xia Cicada to sit on a bench under the jujube tree to teach Xia Cicada embroidery. The light laughter is combined with the sound of cicadas, and it is warm.

However, happy times are always short-lived, and Lan taught Xia Cicada a suit when he was interrupted by a piercing cry.

"Lan's you ** slut, you get out with me, see if I don't tear you"
