A group of daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law were talking passionately in the courtyard of Xiaohuzi's house, and they did not disperse until Ling'er, mother and daughter finished grinding glutinous rice. When she returned home, the old lady also gossiped: "Ling'er, the daughters-in-law of the old village chief really go to the door these days? ”

Ling'er nodded: "It's not counted, just the fourth aunt often comes, and the others don't see each other much!" ”

"Oh? Is it? That... The fourth daughter-in-law can have ......"

"Mother, how can you learn from those aunts and aunts to chew the root of their tongues? That's Grandma Gui's own family affair, whether there are three things like Jin San or not, it is natural that those children and grandchildren often visit her yard! ”

The old lady paused for a moment, and said a little embarrassed: "I... I'm just curious when I heard everyone talk about it! ”

The old father, who had been listening, said: "Ling'er is right, let's not inquire about other people's affairs!" ”

The old lady nodded: "I know, I know, the old village chief and sister-in-law Gui are both good people, Ling'er has only been learning for a month, and she is more sensible than before, or the old village chief teaches well!"

Ling'er, tomorrow will wait for the glutinous rice dough to dry in the morning, and you will send two catties to their family, ah! ”

The next day, Ling'er poured out the precipitated glutinous rice water with her mother, and dried it for a long time to get fresh glutinous rice noodles, and when she went out with her things, it was already half of the morning. She rushed to the old village chief's house, and shouted happily before she reached the door: "Master, Grandma Gui, Ling'er is here!" ”

The courtyard door was opened, and a sturdy woman in her thirties stretched out her head, Ling'er was stunned for a moment, and called with a smile: "Third aunt, you are here!" ”

The woman blocked the door, looked Ling'er up and down, and nodded the burden in Ling'er's hand with her chin: "What is that?" ”

Ling'er lifted the burden: "Oh, this is the glutinous rice noodles that my mother just dried this morning, and I used it to honor my master and Grandma Gui!" ”

The woman nodded, stretched out a hand, and said, "It's quite good, give it to me!" ”

Ling'er frowned and thought about it, hugged the burden and said, "Third aunt, Grandma Gui?" ”

"Mother is busy! Today, our family has a reunion dinner, you give me something, and you can go back! ”

Ling'er was quite disgusted by the woman's tone, and stood on tiptoe to look in, and the woman frowned and said, "Look at what, give it to me quickly!" ”

Ling'er took a step back, shook her head and said, "No, my mother will let me hand it over to Grandma Gui!" ”

"Huh~~ Isn't it just two catties of glutinous rice noodles, who is rare! Don't pull it down! She went back and snapped the courtyard door shut, Ling'er was angry, she had been in this courtyard for more than a month, and it was the first time she had encountered this kind of thing.

The woman just now, Ling'er also knows, she is the third daughter-in-law of the village chief, she looks black and strong, like a simple and honest woman, in fact, everyone who has dealt with her knows that this woman is not honest at all, not honest at all, but full of copper smell, a pair of snobbish eyes, squinting eyes and despising you at every turn, that look so annoying that people want to beat her!

Ling'er stood at the door with something for a while, not knowing whether to go home or continue to knock on the door for a while, she leaned on the door to listen, there were children's frolicking voices and adults talking, it was really very lively, could it be that today is really the day of the old village chief's family reunion? Alas, then forget it, what kind of fun did a person with a foreign surname go to join in the fun?

She was about to leave with her things in a daze, when she suddenly heard a woman behind her: "Hey, silly girl? What are you doing standing in the doorway? Why don't you go in? ”

Ling'er turned around and saw that the fourth daughter-in-law and a young man who were more fancy than usual were coming here, Ling'er stood still and bowed to her: "The fourth uncle is good, the fourth aunt is good!" ”

The man nodded, and the fourth daughter-in-law said, "Ling'er, what are you taking?" Going home? Finished writing? ”

"This is the glutinous rice dough that my mother made this morning, let me use it to honor my master and Grandma Gui!"

"Hehe, you girl has a heart! Then why don't you go in? ”

Ling'er looked back, frowned, and said, "The third aunt said that today is the day of the Master's family's reunion, and she won't let me in!" ”

The fourth daughter-in-law paused, looked at the man and said, "His father, is our father's family reunited today?" ”

The man was stunned: "Haven't you heard?" Isn't it the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month? It's only twenty today! ”

The fourth daughter-in-law thought about it, walked to the door, put her ear on the door to listen, and after a while, stood up straight, and said with an unhappy face: "The eldest sister is back, and the second sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law are here!" ”

The man said happily: "Really, when did the eldest sister come back?" Let's go and have a look! ”

The fourth daughter-in-law grabbed him: "You are stupid, you haven't heard of it......" She paused, glanced back at Ling'er, pulled the man away, muttered a few words, and when they came back, their faces were not very good-looking.

The fourth daughter-in-law stood in front of the door, patted her cheek to adjust her expression, raised her hand and knocked on the door, knocked for a while, and then heard a woman's voice inside: "Who?" Knock what knock? It's coming, it's coming! ”

It was still the third daughter-in-law who opened the door, and when she saw the fourth daughter-in-law, she immediately smiled and said: "Oh, the fourth brother, the fourth brother and sister, just came, I sent you, come in, come in!" ”

The fourth daughter-in-law looked in and said with exaggerated surprise: "Oh, all the big guys are here?" Third sister-in-law, I heard that my father and mother changed the day of the reunion year? Why hasn't anyone informed us? ”

The third daughter-in-law smiled and said: "What is there, I didn't change the day, I heard that the eldest sister is back, so I brought the children over to have a look, and I was close to my cousins and cousins." It just so happened that my sister-in-law also came, saying that she was sending a few children to study with our father!

By the way, the fourth brother and sister, I heard that your Peng'er and Yan'er were sent a long time ago, why didn't you listen to you? I knew that I had sent those monkeys from our family, so that my father could take care of them and read more books! ”

The fourth daughter-in-law laughed dryly: "It's almost the New Year, and the children want to play as soon as they get together, how can they have the heart to study?" ……”

Ling'er took advantage of the gap between the two of you and me to get in, and suddenly found that this small courtyard was full of people! She was stunned for a long time, a few boys and girls who were playing turned around, and when they saw Ling'er, they also looked unfamiliar, and a teenage round-faced girl said, "Who are you?" ”

Ling'er looked around, but she didn't see the old village chief and Grandma Gui, but she saw the two children of the fourth aunt, but they didn't seem to care about Ling'er, and only laughed with other children at the beginning.

Ling'er said: "Hello sister, I am a student of the master, and I came to deliver glutinous rice dough to the master!" ”

The girl looked at Ling'er and suddenly said in surprise: "Ah, you're a stupid girl, right?" I heard my grandmother say that you are enlightened, not stupid, and still follow your grandfather to read and write, is it true? ”

Ling'er couldn't react to the girl's sudden enthusiasm, so she had to nod in a daze. The girl was happy, grabbed her hand and pulled her into the house: "Come, I'll take you to see grandma!" ”

The two of them entered the kitchen, and saw that there were several women surrounded inside, and two and a half girls, Grandma Gui was happily talking to them while picking vegetables, she saw Ling'er and immediately stood up and said, "Ling'er is here!" Hehe, the old man is busy today, so he won't study, you stay and talk to your sisters and sisters, and eat together at noon! ”

The women in the kitchen looked at Ling'er with brushes, Ling'er was a little embarrassed, thought about it, and sent the glutinous rice dough: "Grandma Gui, this is the glutinous rice dough that my mother just dried this morning, and I asked me to send it to you!" ”

Grandma Gui smiled and said, "No need, the eldest son-in-law is grinding, take it home and eat it yourself!" ”

"Grandma Gui, there are many better at home, this is to honor you and your master! Please take it! ”

Grandma Gui pushed it a few times, and finally accepted it, Ling'er wanted to say goodbye and go home, but the enthusiastic Grandma Gui insisted on keeping her for dinner, and several women also echoed the guests, so Ling'er had no choice but to stay.
