Chapter 0048: Relic
"Gurgles, clucks"
Lotus looked at the embarrassed appearance of the two and smiled from ear to ear. Aunt Li and Old Man Li naturally saw everything in their eyes, and the two looked at each other and shook their heads.
"Our daughter, more generous than you." Old Man Li said with emotion.
"What? Are you envious? Do you want me to find one for you? Aunt Li raised her eyebrows and grabbed Old Man Li's ears.
"No, no, I'm satisfied with you. You are the best mother-in-law in the world, and you won't exchange Snow White for me. ”
"Hmph, what is Snow White, she will wash your clothes and cook for you? Will she not be a princess and suffer with you without regrets? ”
"Yes, yes, wife, you are the Snow White in my heart." Old Man Li nodded again and again.
"Silly, stinky." Aunt Li's face turned rare red, and she pushed Old Man Li with a twist, but let go of the hand that was pinching his ear and held his arm instead.
Old Man Li was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but recall the situation when the two were in love when they were young.
"Sister Lingzi, my name is Li Xianglian, nicknamed Lotus."
"Sister Lotus, you are so beautiful." Zhong Lingxiu is also a smart person, and immediately grabbed the lotus's hand, and the two girls chirped to the side and whispered, leaving Xiao Long aside.
"What's that, Sister Lingzi, lotus, let's go into the house and talk."
"Go in by yourself, I have something to say to Lotus. You'd better stay away and not eavesdrop. Zhong Lingxiu shook her little hand, but her eyes were aimed at Xiao Long's ears. Xiao Long is very innocent and silent. I had no choice but to go in by myself.
Everyone is a smart person, so naturally they are tacit, and things can only go with the flow.
"Lee, Lee, Mom, let's go inside." It's called Aunt Li, and he's still a little unused to it. But he already wants the body of someone else's daughter, this cheap son-in-law can't run, and he should call his mother.
Xiao Long opened the door and invited the two into the house.
There are no good decorations in the house, they are all things used by Grandma Cheng Xuejuan when she was alive, although they are old, they are very clean.
Gently stroking the things in the room, Xiao Long's memory also tracked fourteen years ago. At that time, he was six years old, but Cheng Xuejuan's grandmother was already seventy-two years old. At that time, seventy-two years old was considered a high life.
It was a winter morning, and Xiao Longlai, who liked to sleep lazily, was reluctant to move in the bed, until he felt hungry, and then remembered that his grandmother didn't wake him up today. The mischievous Xiao Long got up on his own for the first time. The room was very quiet, a little cold, called grandma, no one answered, he did, still no one answered. He suddenly remembered that the other day, his grandmother told him that if she left, he must be strong, and if she is gone, he must not cry. She also said that she had left him something
Thoughts, like an old movie, a shot, a flicker of a shot, evoke Xiao Long's memories. He remembered a lot of things he couldn't remember before. He remembered what Grandma Cheng Xuejuan had said to him.
She has something for herself. What is it?
But year, when Cheng Xuejuan's grandmother died, he was sad and scared, and then he was forced by life to run around to live, and he had forgotten what his grandmother said about leaving him something. It wasn't until today that he remembered it.
"Looks like it's in this cupboard." Xiao Long came to a small box placed on the west side of the kang, which contained the clothes worn by Cheng Xuejuan's grandmother before her death. When I opened the cupboard, the clothes were still there, but there was nothing else.
"Did you remember wrong?"
"What are you looking for, kid? Just let Reiko help you find it for a while. Aunt Li said with a smile. Xiao Long was stunned for a moment, then he reacted, and he slipped away again. patted his head and said with a wry smile: "Look at my mother, you do it first, I'll pour water for you." So saying, he took two bowls from the outer kitchen and scooped water from the jars.
At this time, facing the second elder, Xiao Long was quite embarrassed in his heart, but fortunately, the second elder didn't say anything.
"Xiaolong, go and call the two children in, you have to say anything outside. I see, this house doesn't need to be cleaned up, we plan to let the lotus stay, and you and Uncle Li will go back in the afternoon. ”
"Mom, since you're here, why don't you stay longer, how can you leave so quickly. If I did something wrong, you can beat and scold, but don't get angry. When Xiao Long heard this, he was a little anxious, and thought they were angry.
"You kid, when did we get angry. Reiko is a good kid, we just hope you don't let down the lotus, as for your young people's affairs, we don't care, and we can't take care of it. ”
"Mom, you still say you're not angry, look"
"Hehe, we're really not angry. The so-called poor family is worth a lot of money, and I am worried about thieves in my family. Aunt Li explained with a smile.
Although Xiao Long didn't think so, he felt that there was nothing to lose in this house, but he didn't want to say anything more.
"Well, you have to eat before leaving, you wait, I'll get some food. Mom, I just saw it, there is still rice at home, more stuffy rice. After saying that, he hurriedly ran out.
"This kid" Aunt Li shook her head and smiled, but rolled up her sleeves and entered the outer kitchen.
Xiao Long came out of the house, and saw Lotus and Lingzi holding hands, like a pair of sisters, who didn't know what they were talking about, seeing Xiao Long come out, Zhong Lingxiu's face turned red, and Lotus glared at Xiao Long with a little coquettishness.
"Who told you to eavesdrop? Go away, go away. Lotus said dissatisfied.
Xiao Long was shouting in his heart that he was wronged. When did I eavesdrop? I didn't want to hear what they had to say, otherwise, I would have heard them clearly, even if I was in the house.
"Well, Mom plans to go back in the afternoon after eating, you guys go and help cook, and I'll get some food."
"Ah, why is my mom going back all of a sudden? Didn't you say you should stay longer? When Lotus heard this, the expression on her face froze, obviously thinking of something bad.
Xiao Long knew that she had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "Mom said to let you stay with me, they said, there is nothing to clean up here, I am worried about my family, I am afraid of being robbed, so I am in a hurry to go back." Or do you go and persuade? If there is anything to be afraid of losing at home, stay for a few more days. ”
"Oh" Lotus Hua's heart was slightly wider when she heard this, and she pulled Zhong Lingxiu: "Sister Lingzi, let's go, let's talk about it in the house." ”
"This, me, it's time for me to go home too."
"Giggles, Sister Lingzi, don't pretend, you have long regarded yourself as the daughter-in-law of this family. You usually live here, right? Otherwise, why are all the rice dishes prepared? Or are you an unpredictable prophet who knows that Brother Xiaolong is coming back today, and you are ready in advance? Lotus smiled evilly.
"Lotus, what are you talking nonsense. Look at me, don't you want to see it. As he spoke, he reached under the lotus flower and tickled her. Lotus giggled and ran away, Zhong Lingxiu chased after her, and just like that, the two went back to the house in a fight.
Soon, Xiao Long came back with two fish, half a skinned rabbit and a bunch of mushrooms. As soon as I entered the courtyard, I asked A burst of food smelled from the kitchen.
The vegetables that grow naturally in the rural geography are farmyard fertilizer, and there are not so many chemical fertilizers, and they haven't eaten yet, and they are coveted just by smelling them.
"Mom, it's a fish, and a rabbit."
"Okay, you can put it here. You don't care about it here, Reiko has something to do with you, so let's go quickly. ”
"Oh" Xiao Long agreed, and turned to enter the house. Inside the house, Lotus and Zhong Lingxiu were still talking, and the two seemed to have endless words. Between the two, there was a small red silk bag.
