The fourth daughter-in-law of the village chief came to visit several times, and sent her pair of children to the village chief's house with a few meatloaf. Originally, it was said that the two children would be like Ling'er, and they could go every morning and evening. But Grandma Gui said that the weather was cold in the morning and evening, and it was occasionally windy and snowy, and it was not good to freeze the children, so let the two children live at grandma's house, and spend this time with grandparents.

The fourth daughter-in-law was embarrassed on the surface, but Ling'er clearly sensed her full of excitement. Tsk, these four daughters-in-law really have hearts. The village chief has a total of three sons and two daughters, the eldest and youngest are daughters, all of whom have married far away; The middle three sons each got married and had children, and they originally lived in the same compound, but these four daughters-in-law were eager to split the family.

Her family is the youngest, and according to convention, the village elder and his wife should live with his family, but she doesn't agree when she pushes around, or as long as Grandma Gui goes with her, the old village chief goes to her brother's house. Because Grandma Gui is strong and healthy, her work is no worse than that of men, but the old village chief has always been in poor health, she does not work every day, she has to drink medicine, and she often subsidizes the poor households in the village.

The brothers and daughters-in-law discussed for a long time without results, and they all felt that the old village chief was a burden! In a fit of rage, the old village chief divided the family land into four parts, one for each of the three sons and one for the two of his own sons. The yard is also, those who are willing to live in the old house have one tael of silver, and those who do not want to live will find a place to build it by themselves for three taels of silver, how you are willing to toss and how to toss.

The result was very disappointing, none of the three sons wanted to live in the old house, and all of them moved out and built a new house. The village chief felt that the courtyard was too big and empty, so he built a courtyard wall to isolate the few houses where he lived alone, and the others were half sold and half given to the poor in the village.

Of course, when the old house was sold cheaply, several daughters-in-law still had opinions, muttered and complained about the price being too low, and wanted to share the money from the sale of the house, but the village chief said: "Whoever lives with our old couple until we drive to the west, the money from the sale of the yard will be given to whomever it is!" As a result, everyone stopped squeaking!

The old couple was sad for a long time about the separation of the family, and the old village chief's condition also blindly worsened, and even almost drove the crane west, but fortunately he survived. However, after that, several daughters-in-law wanted Grandma Gui to help take care of their grandchildren, but Grandma Gui vetoed them, and it was not until the old village chief was in better health in the past two years that he occasionally opened a small stove for his grandchildren and taught them something.

Now that the old village chief has accepted Ling'er as a student, the fourth daughter-in-law took the opportunity to send her own pair of children, Ling'er originally thought that she was unwilling to be an outsider to get the benefits of the old couple, and wanted her children to get a piece of the pie. But after a few days, she found that her fourth daughter-in-law had more eyes than she imagined.

Look, as soon as Ling'er entered the door with her front foot, the fourth daughter-in-law came in with her back foot, and when she saw Ling'er, she said again: "Oh, stupid girl, why are you here again?" Have you handed over the bundle? ”

Ling'er smiled: "Hello Aunt Four, it's been handed over to Grandma Gui!" ”

"Oh? Is it? Tsk, I didn't expect your family to be so poor and still be able to afford the restraints! Hey, silly girl, I heard that you met a noble person last time you went out and borrowed a lot of money from you, which village is the noble person from? How come I didn't happen to such a good thing? ”

"Auntie's family is well-off, you are almost the same as someone else's nobleman, why do you need a nobleman? Auntie, I'm going to practice calligraphy! ”

The fourth daughter-in-law pursed her lips and muttered: "Girls, what kind of literacy do you learn......" Then she twisted to look at her pair of children, and then she kept surrounding Grandma Gui and talking with a smiling face, but she turned around, and she didn't see her help with some effort!

After the old village chief taught the three children what they were going to learn today, and let a few of them practice on their own, he went back to the house to rest for a while. The fourth daughter-in-law sneaked out, glanced at the kitchen and study in a sly manner, glanced at Ling'er again, pulled her pair of children aside, and muttered something in a low voice.

Ling'er pretended to bow her head to practice calligraphy, and her ears were so stretched that she wanted to hear what they said, but unfortunately their voices were small and they couldn't hear clearly...... Your grandma or something.

Grandma Gui came out with a basin of water to pour it, and when she saw the mother and son huddled in the corner, she said loudly: "Fourth daughter-in-law, what are you doing?" ”

The fourth daughter-in-law was startled, stood up suddenly, and stammered and said, "Hehe, mother! Not... It's nothing! Only... It is to tell Peng'er and Yan'er to study hard and listen to you! ”

Grandma Gui glanced at the two children: "Peng'er has a good foundation, the old man praised him a few words last night, Yan'er is too young, let her play with her, it doesn't matter if she learns or not!" ”

"Hehe, yes, yes, I didn't want Yan'er to come, but she stayed at home and didn't have children to play with her, so she loved to run around, I was afraid that she would be bullied, so I sent it over, just with... Get a buddy with a silly girl! Silly girl, you can take care of our geese a lot! ”

Ling'er smiled and promised: "Okay, fourth aunt!" ”

But the little girl pouted, "No, I don't want to play with fools, or I'll become fools!" ”

Ling'er twitched the corners of her mouth, the fourth daughter-in-law glanced at Ling'er, and deliberately reprimanded: "Yan'er, don't talk nonsense, although Silly Niu'er used to be a little stupid, but now she is not stupid, she can read and write, do you want to learn from Sister Ling'er?" ”

The little girl reluctantly pursed her mouth and ran away, but the little boy was polite: "Grandma, mother, don't worry, Peng'er will take good care of her sister!" ”

"Well, that's good, Peng'er, good students, ah! Come back early for our old Wang family to take a test! ”

"Yes, Grandma!" The little boy obediently promised and saluted.

Grandma Gui nodded with satisfaction, looked at the fourth daughter-in-law and said, "Fourth daughter-in-law, the year will end soon, has your house been cleaned up?" Have the sheets been washed? Is the quilt dry? The weather is good today, go back to do some work when you have time, don't run around, Peng'er and Yan'er have me watching, you don't have to worry, go and get busy with you! ”

The fourth daughter-in-law was a little embarrassed, "Oh, hehe, okay, the daughter-in-law is preparing to go back!" Then trouble my mother and father, I'll come to see them tomorrow! ”

Grandma Gui waved her hand and said, "Go, go, go!" Then he took the basin and went into the kitchen. The fourth daughter-in-law stood for a while, listened to the movement of the kitchen for a while, pulled the two children and said, "Peng'er, Yan'er, remember what my mother said, ask early, don't forget!" ”

The two children agreed and sent the fourth daughter-in-law to the door, and then the little boy pulled the little girl aside and muttered something in her ear. As soon as he turned around, he saw Ling'er looking at him, he was stunned for a moment, and then said with a fierce face: "What do you see?" Hmph, fool! ”

Ling'er was stunned, this was the first thing the little boy said to himself after coming here for five days, before their brother and sister had been treating themselves as air, originally thought that they were just afraid of life, embarrassed to talk to themselves, it turned out... It's to look down on yourself! Ling'er smiled self-deprecatingly and lowered her head to practice calligraphy.

After a while, Grandma Gui came out with a few plates and greeted with a smile: "Ling'er, Peng'er, Yan'er, come, eat the oil fruit, it has just come out of the pot, it is fragrant, come quickly!" ”

The pair of brothers and sisters cheered and rushed over, Grandma Gui pulled them to wash their hands before eating, the little boy gave the little girl a look, and the little girl said delicately: "Grandma, Yan'er is about to die, do you give Yan'er a gift?" ”

Grandma Gui smiled and said, "Give, of course, our Yan'er will be four years old soon, and we will become a big girl!" ”

"Grandma, can I choose my own gifts?"

"Okay, what does Yan'er like?"

"Do you give all the grandmothers Yan'er likes?"

Grandma Gui said casually: "Hehe, yes, as long as grandma has it, Yan'er will give whatever she wants!" ”

"I want gold!"

Grandma Gui was stunned: "What gold?" ”
