Chapter 57: The Greedy Red Xia
Huang asked Hongyun to wait in the courtyard, and took Lin He to the house to pack up some things and give her some money to bring back, so that her face would look better, and she should go back to her mother-in-law's face should also look better.
The relatives of the family who should have come also came, and most of the food was given as gifts, and the Huang family packed up some white noodles, some bacon, and a few sausages and a few packs of snacks for Hongyun to take back, and then called Hongyun to the house and stuffed her with three hundred dollars.
Hongyun's eyes were red, and she came to her mother's house and her brother's house to pay New Year's greetings, she was supposed to bring gifts, but her mother-in-law didn't prepare anything for her, and she didn't have any private money in hand, she came empty-handed.
Huang pulled her to sit down, stuffed the silver money in his hand into her and said, "You keep this money yourself, don't give it to your mother-in-law, I also prepared some food for you to take back, and your mother-in-law shouldn't say anything when you go back, you put the money away, just in case." ”
Then he said, "If you suffer any grievances in your mother-in-law's house in the future, come back and come to my house, your second brother will not leave you alone, and you will not be hungry." ”
Hongyun looked at her sister-in-law, tears kept falling, she had been back to her parents' house for so long, her mother just sighed and didn't say anything else except for asking a few words, her sister didn't even say anything to her, but this second sister-in-law thought about everything for herself, and the words also revealed that if she couldn't live in her mother-in-law's house, she would come back and be willing to support her, what a good sister-in-law.
In this era, I am afraid that no woman can be so generous to her sister-in-law, Hongyun nodded with tears in her eyes.
Before Hongyun left, he took Dasheng to Zhao's place to say hello, Zhao came over with Hongxia, Hongxia looked at Dasheng carrying a load of things, her eyes lit up, and she wanted to have it when she went back.
Hongyun followed Dasheng and the child reluctantly left, and Erniu also followed along the way, talking and sending them off. Hongxia and Zhao entered Erniu's yard, Hongxia walked into the house to look around, but she didn't find anything, her face was a little disappointed, so she deliberately walked into the courtyard and said to Huang, "Second sister-in-law, you are really willing, you gave so many things for the eldest sister to take back, and I will take the child back later." ”
Huang knew what Hongxia meant, so he just smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's all some invaluable food, Hongxia is not having a good time at home, let her take some back to block her mother-in-law's mouth." ”
Lin He saw that his little aunt was really fighting with the He family, and her face was so thick-skinned. But after all, it was his aunt, and no matter how unhappy she was, she didn't show it on her face.
Hongxia saw that the second sister-in-law didn't mean to let her bring things back, so she said cheekily, "Second sister-in-law, wait for me to bring some things back, I don't have anything to eat at home." ”
Huang was indeed a little unhappy when he heard Hongxia's words, how could someone ask someone for something directly in person, his face was really not ordinarily thick, but during the New Year, Huang didn't want to make everyone unhappy, and said, "There is nothing else at home, and there are some coarse grains waiting for you to take back." After saying that, he left, and he didn't care about Hongxia.
Huang went to the kitchen to pack up some for Hongxia to take back, but he didn't expect Hongxia to see the things for Hongyun, so he deliberately packed up some more and gave Hongyun to take away.
Lin He said beside him, "We don't have much white flour in our house, mother, you give some black flour and cornmeal for my sister-in-law to take back, just give a few letters of snacks or something, she won't be satisfied with how much you give to the second aunt." ”
Huang thinks it's right, the reverse side is in the bag, Hongxia won't know what's in the bag, besides, these cornmeal and black noodles can also be eaten for a while, and if you take a copy of other things, it will always be good.
Hongxia watched Huang pack up her things and come out, took them in her hands and looked at them for a long time before she spoke, "Second sister-in-law, isn't it, there are one by one from the eldest sister just now, it seems to be those sausages that I ate at my mother's house, you can also bring me a few, that thing is delicious." ”
Huang was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, Hongxia was not satisfied with these things, and smiled helplessly, "That sausage is gone, and I have eaten it for the New Year, and only these snacks and coarse grains are left." ”
Hongxia's face was suddenly a little unconvinced, and she said, "Second sister-in-law, I am also your sister-in-law, how can you be kind to the eldest sister, look down on me like this, I should also have a share of what the eldest sister has, it's not fair for you to do this." ”
Lin He saw Hongxia's face, and a sneer rose on his face, this kind of person is really too greedy and insufficient, this woman should go home to give gifts to her mother's family, but no one has stipulated that the return gift is not stipulated, and the things in her own house can be given to whoever she wants, when is it her turn to say whether it is fair or unfair.
Huang's heart suddenly became even more angry, and he said in a deep voice, "Hongxia, we don't owe you anything, there are only these at home, if you want to take it back, if you don't want it, just let it go, there are no other things, I won't send them when you go back." With that, he left.
Zhao also walked over from the side and said, "Hongxia, you take these things and go back quickly, if you don't leave, it will be dark." ”
Hongxia pursed her lips and went back with her things.
Lin He felt that his mother was indeed a little angry, but it was normal, the Buddha was on fire. However, Lin He is also a little strange, how can they all be born by the same father, but the personalities are so different, who is Hongxia's temperament, it seems that there are really ten fingers with a length and shortness.
Although it is said that it is the first month, but the relatives at home are gone, and the first month is almost over. Lin Erniu is also preparing for some farm tools at home when the spring is going to be in the past few days, see which ones you want, and wait for the first month to go to the town to beat these farm tools out early, or there will be more people playing farm tools for a while, and it will be done slowly, and it will take a long time to wait.
After Lin He made ten hand warmers, there were still several pieces of fur left, and he didn't know whether to keep or return them to Uncle Wen, Lin He thought about it and planned to make a few pairs of fur shoes for Uncle Wen's youngest son. The process of making fur shoes is the same as making cloth shoes, except that there is an extra layer of wool inside, another layer on the outside, and then a cloth on the outside, which is named "home shoes".
It is said that it is extremely warm for children to wear at home when they usually don't go out, and if it doesn't rain or snow outside, it's okay to wear it out, just because it looks bulky because of the pads, but it's not heavy at all, and it's quite warm.
Lin He promised to make a hand warmer for Uncle Wen was also done, let Dabao take an ox cart to go, and send the hand warmer and shoes to Uncle Wen, if Uncle Wen wants to use it, he should also send it as soon as possible, and let Dabao tell the role of this shoe.
Xiaobao saw this shoe and said yes, Lin He sewed up some of the remaining broken fur and made a pair for Xiaobao, Xiaobao smiled and said, it was very warm, and the clothes were jumping and jumping, and Chen'er looked envious.
Lin He smiled and hugged Chen'er, and told Chen'er that next time she had fur, she would make it for her. Lin He knew that this was of course much warmer than ordinary cloth shoes, and the family wore single shoes, but now this shoe is not just cotton shoes, but also real fur, of course, it is warmer. Wait until next winter, when the family has money, buy some fur and come back to make a pair of them.
