Chapter 193
Yulan answered: "Mother, Xiaoyi is still young, it is inevitable to see people floating on the surface, you have been through ups and downs for all these years, what have you never encountered?" Who hasn't seen it? They all say: There are many old roots, people are old and knowledgeable, you always see people and things more thoroughly than her, and mention her more when you encounter problems! ”
Lu Xiaoyi's tone when she listened to Yulan's words was not as cold as before, obviously with praise and praise, and her tone was also her usual gentle and gentle, and it was comfortable to listen to in her ears. Looking at Mrs. Lu again, her first reaction was to be stunned, obviously unable to react to Yulan's gentle attitude.
Mrs. Lu maintained a stunned look until Yulan finished speaking, the expression on her face changed from stunned to happy, her heart was like drinking a glass of honey water, sweet and comfortable, so coincidentally, the little grandson in her arms opened her mouth and yawned a cute little yawn, and the little grape-like eyes looked at her, such a cute little grandson was born by Yulan, Mrs. Lu suddenly felt that Yulan was a good daughter-in-law, and her tone became a little gentle, and said: "Don't worry about this, I often mention Xiao Yi, that is, Xiao Ding is not close to me, I want to mention her, but I can't see her all the time. ”
Xiao Ding grimaced at Xiao Yi, and then said to Mrs. Lu aggrievedly: "Grandmother, granddaughter also wants to be close to you!" But your mind is on your younger brothers, and your granddaughter will not appear in front of your eyes. ”
Xiao Ding said the truth, but Mrs. Lu couldn't argue with it, so she had to pretend not to hear it.
Yulan helped Mrs. Lu speak in a timely manner, and educated Xiao Ding: "Your younger brothers are still young, your grandmother will definitely think about it more, don't think about it too much, and see your grandmother more in the future." They are all her own granddaughters, and she will definitely treat them equally. ”
Mrs. Lu hurriedly nodded, "Yes, your mother is right." ”
Yulan's intuition was enough to pave the way, so she began to get down to business, "Mother, I don't know when Sister-in-law Liu is delayed?" I originally wanted to call Lian Mei, but the Qiu family felt sorry for her and was reluctant to let her come to suffer this hardship, plus Qiu Xia was still young. It's time for meditative feeding. It's okay to let her help for a few days, but it can't help for a long time. ”
Mrs. Lu said with a smile: "The Qiu family is really good to Lian'er!" ”
Lu Xiaoyi: When my sister-in-law gave birth to Qiu Qiu, Mrs. Qiu allowed her to help, why did she mention careful feeding after giving birth to Qiu Xia this time? People with a little bit of heart will think that it is Qiu Xia's reason! Grandmother. My mother said it tactfully. Why don't you listen superficially!
Yulan continued: "Since Sister Lian can't come. I can only invite her from the village, but our village has a lot of troubles, and every time I invite someone, I have to offend someone. I invited this family, that family was going to be angry, I invited that family, this family has opinions, every time I invite someone from the village, I have a big head, I want to find a relative who knows the roots......"
"Lu Si's daughter-in-law can't do it!" Mrs. Lu interrupted, obviously misunderstanding what Yulan meant.
Yulan pursed her lips and smiled, "Mother, even if I want to invite, she is embarrassed to come!" ”
"She's long gone, there's nothing to be embarrassed about!"
"Mother, my sister-in-law has a cousin, her fate was bad when she was young, and now she is an old girl at home, and after her mother's death, her sister-in-law can't tolerate her, so she wants to find some work to do and earn some money."
"Old girl?"
"Well, that girl is diligent and down-to-earth and can endure hardships, but unfortunately her life is not good, and now she is forced by her sister-in-law to go to the nunnery to be a sister-in-law, very pitiful! I thought I could help her, but we just happened to be short of someone here, so we might as well let her come over! Yulan said while looking at Mrs. Lu's face, only to see that she was not disgusted, and she was a little relieved.
Mrs. Lu pursed her mouth: "This girl's brain doesn't turn, what kind of sister-in-law does a good girl go to the nunnery?" What's wrong with the old girl! Just find an old man to marry, those old bachelors and old widowers are going crazy about their daughter-in-law, and marrying someone is better than her being a sister-in-law! ”
Yulan hurriedly explained this girl's life experience to Mrs. Lu, and Mrs. Lu said, "Phew! That short-lived ghost eats, drinks, and sleeps in his own home, why does he rely on a girl who has not passed through the door, and make the girl's reputation stink, isn't this forcing people to death? ”
Yulan sighed, "Her father and mother loved her and protected her for a few years, but now her mother is dead and her sister-in-law is forced to marry, and she can't live anymore." ”
Mrs. Lu said: "Can her black-eyed sister-in-law find her a good family?" Maybe greed for money sold her! ”
"Mother, let's help her, let her come over to help, and if there are suitable people in the future, we will help match, and it can be regarded as doing good deeds to accumulate some merit for our family."
"You can invite whoever you want, I don't care about these things, I only care about my little grandchildren!" As she spoke, Mrs. Lu lifted Xiao Rui up and shook it gently, teasing with a smile.
Yulan said: "Mother, how can I say that she is also my distant relative, I can't let her squeeze with the children when she comes, and she is a girl's house, and it is not convenient to live with us, can my mother let her live in the ear room for a while." ”
Mrs. Lu turned her head to look at Yulan, without blinking, Yulan thought that Mrs. Lu was going to refuse bluntly, but Mrs. Lu said: "You said that you are distant relatives, how can relatives live in the ear room when they come, the landlord's room is used to pile up food on weekdays, let your father clean it up and live for her!" ”
Yulan was very happy, and felt that what Mrs. Lu said was the most humane words she had heard since she became a family, and said gratefully: "Mother, you are still thoughtful." ”
"Just pay a little money every month!" Mrs. Lu then said again.
Yulan was stunned for a moment, but finally smiled and agreed.
Lu Xiaoyi was worried that Mrs. Lu had forgotten about cleaning up the house, and she had to mention it in her ear every once in a while, but Mrs. Lu finally got impatient and reprimanded her: "I'm annoyed, it's like a finch and it's noisy, isn't it just cleaning up the house?" How can your grandfather do it alone, when your father and uncle come back from the field, they will soon be able to clean it up. ”
Lu Xiaoyi grinned, "Grandmother is really thoughtful!" ”
Mrs. Lu pointed to the wooden basin on the side and said, "Xiao Rui just pulled a lot, you hurry up and take the diaper to wash." ”
"Huh? Washing diapers? Lu Xiaoyi didn't move with a bitter face, aren't these Xiaorui's father, but also her father's job?
"Ahhh Hurry up! ”
Lu Xiaoyi went out with a wooden basin, and Yulan came out of the next room and said with a smile: "Let it go." I took it to the brook and washed it. ”
Lu Xiaoyi competed to be a good young man, and said positively: "I'll go wash." ”
"You can go if you want, then I'll cook lunch at home, wait, I remember there are still a bunch of them in the house here!"
Lu Xiaoyi went to the stream with a high basin of diapers with a bitter face, several women in the village were washing at the washing table, and when they saw Lu Xiaoyi coming to wash diapers, they waved hammer clothes sticks to drive her away, and reprimanded her for being ignorant, how could she take diapers to the washing table to wash. Let them do how to do their laundry.
Lu Xiaoyi also took a loss. After a few laughs, he fled to the crooked-necked willow tree downstream with a wooden basin, muttering that this group of old ladies was too violent, and if she hadn't run fast, she would definitely have been thrown into the water. Maybe you can't take two sticks. Ay! You've all washed diapers. Can't you be a little more tolerant?
After Lu Xiaoyi finished muttering, he began to walk along the fallen willow trunk towards the stream, and the willow trunk was very thick. There was a three-pronged position that was perfect for a wooden basin, and when everything was right, she picked out a dirty diaper and threw it in the stream to rinse, and when the dirt was washed away, she changed to another one.
So back and forth, washing and concentrating, suddenly felt the trunk of the tree shake, she turned her head to see, it was surplus grain.
"Brother Liang, why are you here?"
"As soon as I saw them chasing you, I wanted to come, and I was worried that their mouths would be broken, so I went around in a circle." Yu Liang skillfully walked up to her, then crouched down.
Yu Liang is very tall, and he is much taller than Lu Xiaoyi when he squats, and his arms are long, so he picks up a piece of diaper and stretches it into the water to rinse it, which is more serious than Lu Xiaoyi's washing.
Lu Xiaoyi, as Xiaorui's sister, washed diapers to get in the way, but Yu Liang, a quasi-brother-in-law, was not too dirty or tired. Lu Xiaoyi was a little embarrassed, silently helped him hand over the diaper, and the two cooperated tacitly and quickly washed a basin of diapers.
Next is the date time, the two squatted side by side on the trunk to watch the stream turbulent, from time to time there are green and yellow willow leaves falling down and floating down the water, the noon sun from the willow leaves sprinkled down dots, to the two of them dressed in a treasure full of stars. Raising his hand and shaking gently, the willow leaves swayed, looking up, the wicker was as dense as rain, and the two of them squatted quietly in a romantic space woven with wicker.
Raising his eyes and looking around just to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, seeing that there was no one around, Lu Xiaoyi's thief's heart suddenly rose, and his little paw took the initiative to grab the big hand of the remaining grain, and the hand that soaked in the stream had a clean touch, and his fingers touched his palm lightly, and he found that there were many more calluses.
"Brother Liang, are the black tiger and the little raccoon flower okay?"
"Okay, the black tiger is still so stupid, the little raccoon flower has grown up, and he likes to squat on the courtyard wall to bask in the sun the most, you can come and see them when you have time."
Lu Xiaoyi said helplessly: "My mother won't let me run around now." Soon the thief laughed again, "I'll sneak to you when I get a chance!" ”
Yu Liang nodded, blushing and said to her, "I have saved ten taels of silver." ”
"Wow! It's ten taels, and you only told me six taels last year! Why so fast? Lu Xiaoyi became excited, ten taels, the dowry for marrying a daughter-in-law in Xiaxi Village is enough, and it is earned by Brother Liang himself, not her family's profit, I am really happy for him!
Yu Liang was also very happy, and said excitedly: "I dug a few more traps, and learned some tricks from the old hunters in the village, and also picked some common herbs and fungus mushrooms. ”
"Brother Liang, in the future, when you go into the mountains to hunt, I will follow you to pick herbs, wild mushrooms and fungus, okay?" Lu Xiaoyi is always full of yearning for collection, "Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to draft the water, we have mountains and rivers here, and we don't have to worry about food and clothing in the future!" ”
Yu Liang nodded, "I'll build a new yard in a few more years, you... How big do you want to build? ”
Lu Xiaoyi scratched his head and thought about it, roughly estimated the income of the surplus grain in the next few years, and then in addition to the cost of getting married, it was enough to build a small triple courtyard, and proposed: "My family is going to build a new courtyard after the autumn, you can come to learn it then, my family has a large population to build a set of two large courtyards, and it is enough for your family to build a small courtyard with a small population." ”
Yu Liang muttered: "More people build two, and fewer people build one...... I'm still trying to save money to build two in! "My face turned redder.
Lu Xiaoyi thought with his toes and knew where he was thinking, "Brother Liang, I suggest building a small one first." ”
Yu Liang looked at her suspiciously, and Lu Xiaoyi said, "The small courtyard is clean. ”
"Close?" Yu Liang smiled: "Okay! ”
Feed! Intimate and clean, the difference between the front and back nasal sounds is huge! Am I so unclear in my words? Lu Xiaoyi glared at Yu Liang to express his dissatisfaction, and Yu Liang's eyes were also innocent, okay, Lu Xiaoyi understood, the local dialect of Xiaxi Village is nasal. (To be continued.) )
