The next day, Mrs. Lu learned that Yulan had given Jia Wei makeup, and she was not happy, muttering and complaining for a long time before sending the two quilts she had prepared.

Lu Xiaoyi helped her tie the quilt into tofu pieces with a red rope and cover it with a red cloth. When she looked at the quilt sent by Mrs. Lu, she was very surprised, only to see two crimson quilts embroidered with different patterns, a pair of swallows wearing peach willows, a pair of magpies and plums, two pillowcases embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water, the embroidery is not very fine but the colors are festive, people can't help but want to reach out and touch it.

Lu Pozi snapped and hit Lu Xiaoyi's claws, "What are you touching?" How do you get dirty? ”

Lu Xiaoyi pouted and spread her hands to Mrs. Lu, "I've washed my hands, they're clean!" ”

"Then don't touch it, this is what your aunt worked hard to embroider." Mrs. Lu quickly folded the quilt neatly and complained: "Jia Wei is married, our second room bothered to add makeup to her, and when you get married, who can bother to add makeup to you in the big room?" Phew, when I think of this, I don't even have the heart to send the quilt. Speaking of which, Mrs. Lu really picked up the quilt and stuffed it into the cabinet, "Forget it, your mother has added it, I won't add it, these are all left to you." ”

Lu Xiaoyi was a little moved, but she wouldn't echo Mrs. Lu, "Grandmother, you are an elder, you can't be so stingy!" ”

Mrs. Lu glanced at her, "I'm stingy, what can she do to me?" Can you carry me into the stream and wash my feet? ”

Lu Xiaoyi whispered: "If you are not afraid of frostbite, she will definitely be willing, and her mother will be even happier." ”

"What do you say?" Mrs. Lu tilted her head and listened.

Lu Xiaoyi covered her mouth and grinned, "I said that grandmother is the most generous." Send two such beautiful quilts to add makeup to your cousin, and if the people in the village know about it, they will definitely give you a thumbs up. ”

Mrs. Lu thought about it, took out the quilt again, and muttered, "Forget it, it was originally prepared for Jia Wei, and it is not appropriate to leave it for you." Then he dismantled the quilt that had been folded, folded it repeatedly, and finally exposed the magpie Dengmei and Yan wearing peach willows embroidered on the quilt surface, "Go." Come with me to the big house. You hold these quilts, remember to make sure to embroider them up! ”

Lu Xiaoyi knew that Mrs. Lu wanted to show off, so she persuaded her: "Grandmother, let my father send it off." It's so cold outside. It's not worth falling again. ”

"You listen to me. Naturally there is a reason for you to walk. ”

The reason in Mrs. Lu's mouth is actually the same as Lu Xiaoyi's guess. Nine is not far from ten, but she missed one point, that is, the pedestrians on the cold village road are almost extinct. Mrs. Lu had to take Lu Xiaoyi on a detour, almost all the paths crisscrossing the village, except for a few cats and dogs, there was no one to see.

Lu Xiaoyi walked with a fever all over, but secretly complained in his heart, where is this to add makeup, it is obvious that he went to the village to sell quilts.

"Grandmother, let's not go around, I haven't seen anyone in a circle."

Mrs. Lu said angrily: "These lazy people, when they don't want to see it, they turn around and dangle in front of my eyes, and when they want to see it, the cat doesn't come out at home." ”

Lu Xiaoyi looked up at the white and bright sun in the sky, and reminded: "It's lunch now, who will come out for a walk!" ”

Mrs. Lu said categorically: "Go back, come back after lunch." ”

Lu Xiaoyi almost fell down at his feet, and pleaded with a bitter face: "Grandmother, let's stop doing something, let's send it quickly!" ”

Mrs. Lu glanced at her dissatisfiedly, "If you want to, change Xiaoding in the afternoon." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll rely on you, let's come out and sell quilts after lunch." Lu Xiaoyi said goodbye.

"What do you say?"

"Oh, add makeup."

In this way, Lu Xiaoyi took the quilt home with Mrs. Lu with a bitter face, and only waited for lunch to go around the whole village.

When eating lunch, Lu Xiaoyi grinded all kinds of things, and in the end, the impatient Lu Pozi came to the door, "Where are your stewed beef bones?" Stewed for so long? ”

There is no need to avoid it, there is no need to avoid it, Lu Xiaoyi put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, and said briskly: "When you are full, leave." ”

Xiao Geng said, "Sister, do you want me to help you." ”

Mrs. Lu said kindly: "Good grandson, it's cold outside, stay at home obediently and don't go out." ”

Lu Xiaoyi urged, "Grandmother, can you go?" It's cold outside, and I'm going to come back and stay there. ”

Mrs. Lu glanced at her, "Wear more when it's cold." ”

Lu Xiaoyi rolled his eyes, lifted the curtain and walked out, and soon, the ancestor and grandson holding the festive makeup appeared on the criss-crossing village road.

In the afternoon, the sun is no longer white, but red, yellow and yellow, and the sun shines on people a little warmer, so there are more women basking in the sun on the village road.

Mrs. Lu whispered: "Follow me and listen to my command." After speaking, he took Xiao Yi to the crowd, and before he got closer, he shouted loudly: "Ouch, I'm tired, these two new quilts are really heavy." ”

In fact, she didn't need to deliberately attract attention, those women would also take the initiative to ask her, "Second Aunt Lu, this is to send makeup!" ”

Mrs. Lu said happily: "Yes, yes, Jia Wei is getting married, and I, as an uncle and grandmother, must add some!" ”

"Ouch, look at this quilt, it's white and soft, it's this year's new cotton, right?"

"Newcomers must use new cotton!" Mrs. Lu smiled.

You can't touch the makeup of the newcomer, the women in the village all know the rules, they only watch and don't play profane, and some people praised: "Tut, Aunt Lu is really generous, and two new cotton quilts cost a lot of money!" ”

Mrs. Lu said generously: "Getting married is a great joy, and it is also appropriate to spend a few silver dollars!" After speaking, he turned his head to Lu Xiaoyi and said, "What are you doing hiding behind?" Stand at the front. ”

Lu Xiaoyi was holding a square stack of quilts in her hand, she was unwilling to squeeze with those onlookers, in case the sheets were squeezed off and dirty, how could she add makeup?

Lu Xiaoyi reluctantly took two steps forward, and the women's eyes were immediately attracted by the quilt in her hand, and the top was a pair of magpie Dengmei, which immediately won a lot of praise, and they all praised the beautiful color and exquisite embroidery of the quilt sent by Mrs. Lu.

Mrs. Lu proudly told people that it was embroidered by the second daughter-in-law, and the whole embroidery process was even more exaggerated twists and turns, which was more difficult than learning from the West.

Mrs. Lu has earned enough praise and envy, and finally embarked on the right route to the big house.

Lu Xiaoyi complained: "Grandmother, who of those village women can't embroider a few stitches, you have to show off in front of them, people praise you for a few words, you are happy like that, why are you so innocent?" ”

Mrs. Lu glared at Lu Xiaoyi and reprimanded fiercely: "You know a fart, I'm doing this for your good, not only do you not appreciate it, but you also say that I am really evil, do you want to be angry with me?" ”

"Good for me? I'm freezing into a dog. Lu Xiaoyi snorted and shivered extremely cooperatively.

Mrs. Lu said: "You deserve it, who let you wear more." ”

Lu Xiaoyi sped up his pace and left Mrs. Lu behind.

Mrs. Lu also caught up angrily and said to herself: "Do you think I really want to listen to their flattery? Let me tell you, I want everyone in the village to know what I added to Jia Wei, if you marry in the future, if the eldest mother-in-law doesn't add you the same, without me going out, the saliva of the people in the village can drown her. ”

Lu Xiaoyi stopped and looked at Mrs. Lu, only to see that her cheeks were red, her nose was red, and a few strands of hair were stuck in the corners of her mouth, giving people a cold feeling, but she said things that made people sour and angry.

"She loves to add or not, and I don't lack those two quilts." Lu Xiaoyi said: "And you, you are not young, for the sake of two quilts, you walked in the cold wind in the morning, and talked nonsense with those women in the afternoon, your nose and cheeks were frozen red, do you think it's worth it?" ”

Mrs. Lu glanced at Lu Xiaoyi, "Is it worth it when I know it in my heart, you don't teach me a lesson!" After speaking, he snorted his nose and said impatiently: "If you are too cold, hurry up, what are you still standing on the road?" ”

Lu Xiaoyi walked anxiously with the quilt in her arms, and Mrs. Lu complained as she walked, and she didn't shut up until she complained until Mrs. Lu came to her.

Mrs. Lu spoke in a much kinder tone to Mrs. Lu, and Lu Xiaoyi guessed that it was because she felt some guilt towards Mrs. Lu after reminiscing about the past with Mr. Zhou.

But what's the use of this belated guilt? Haven't you reflected on it all these years? Even if you mistakenly thought that it was the second daughter-in-law who did it, scolded her and punished her for tormenting her, and later the eldest daughter-in-law and sisters broke off contact, Lu Xiaoyi didn't believe that such a shrewd person as Mrs. Lu would not be able to react, and it turned out that she also reacted later, but what was the use! Those who should be justified are not right, and those who should not be struggling continue to struggling.

People sometimes do this, knowing that they have done wrong, but blindly do not admit it, but instead intensify their efforts to cover it up with various means.

If Mr. Zhou hadn't talked to her, she might still not have faced the wrong things she had done!

Mrs. Lu smiled and said to Mrs. Lu: "Sit down and warm up, look at your face is frozen red." ”

Mrs. Lu was a little flattered, and she didn't know whether to sit or stand.

Lu Xiaoyi held Mrs. Lu's arm and said with a smile: "Grandmother, sit down." ”

Mrs. Lu sat down stiffly, looking at Mrs. Lu's eyes, she was puzzled and wary, and she didn't dare to fall completely on the stool, but only sat halfway, giving people a feeling that she was going to run away at any time.

Mrs. Lu smiled and laughed at herself: "Is it so terrible for me to laugh?" ”

Mrs. Lu squinted at Mrs. Lu and said truthfully: "I haven't seen you laugh like this, I don't know the bottom of my heart." ”

Mrs. Lu smiled and sighed, and actually mentioned the incident in front of Lu Xiaoyi, Lu Xiaoyi said secretly: I have suffered, it must be Jiluo who has been exposed, and I have been exposed.

"You suffered from what happened back then." Mrs. Lu muttered.

Mrs. Lu's eyes narrowed into a slit, staring at Mrs. Lu for a long time, and finally said calmly: "I deserve to be punished, and people with a little longer brains will not feed ice water to their children." ”

Mrs. Lu stopped smiling, and her face became stern, "What you say is true, I think so too, no matter whether you were innocent at the time or not, if you can be stupid and give ice water to the child to drink, you should be punished!" ”

Mrs. Lu was silent.

Mrs. Lu waited for a moment and sighed: "I know that you and I are eccentric, think about it yourself!" If I am really a partial, I will fairly divide the land and livestock to the second house? Don't talk anything about affecting the reputation of Shou Zeng and Si'er Kao Xiucai, you know my temper and methods, if I am really partial, I have a way not to divide the family property for you.
