Chapter 194
After Mrs. Lu agreed to vacate a room, Yulan brought a letter to her sister-in-law, and in the few days after waiting for the news, Lu Lian came to help, and finally did not delay the scones.
Lu Xiaoyi is now in love with washing diapers, because the benefit of washing diapers is to date Yu Liang, and the lodging willow tree in the lower reaches of Qixi has become a place for her to date Yu Liang.
Of course, dating also comes at a price. On this day, the two were chatting energetically, and the sound of villagers talking from far and near, and the surplus grain quickly slid into the stream, hiding under the trunk of the tree, only exposing the nostrils and breathing slowly. The stream water in September was already cold, Lu Xiaoyi felt sorry for him, but Yu Liang smiled and said that he had always taken a cold bath and was out of the way.
Lu Xiaoyi laughed at him again, saying that he had just washed his and diapers in the stream, and Yu Liang blushed in embarrassment, and muttered: "The stream is turbulent, and the dirty things have already been washed away." That being said, when the villagers were far away, he quickly got up from the water, and the wet cloth stuck to his body, looking slender and sexy.
Lu Xiaoyi looked up and down, and said shamefully: "Quickly wring out the clothes." Then she turned her head away from him, and there was a ticking sound behind him.
I only heard a low "Okay" Lu Xiaoyi looked back at his red face and looked very cute, and couldn't help but murmur softly: "Close your eyes." ”
Yu Liang was stunned for a moment, his cheeks were red like a ripe berry, he obediently closed his eyes, and squatted down very cooperatively.
Lu Xiaoyi secretly laughed at this bad thing, and said with a wicked smile: "I shouted to open you to open it!" ”
Yu Liang nodded obediently, his face flushed and was about to drip blood. Pursed his lips slightly, his throat trembled slightly, and he swallowed a shallow mouthful, and his chest rose and fell slightly.
Lu Xiaoyi smiled and bent down to pick up the wooden basin, tiptoed along the willow trunk to the shore, turned around and smiled: "Brother Liang, I'm going home, you go home and change into dry clothes, beware of catching a cold!" ”
Yu Liang opened his eyes, stared at her ashamed, ashamed, angry, laughed and embarrassed, and plunged into the stream. I don't know where to go.
Lu Xiaoyi. After the play, I was in a good mood. Walking home with a smile, I saw my grandfather's carriage parked at the gate of my courtyard, and I was overjoyed, guessing that it was my aunt who brought her cousin.
Lu Xiaoyi rushed to the courtyard excitedly. The wooden basin was placed casually on the stone platform in the corner of the courtyard. Ran into the hall, and sure enough, I saw my aunt and a strange woman sitting in it.
Yulan smiled: "What are you doing?" Don't see any guests? ”
Lu Xiaoyi immediately became disciplined. After greeting her eldest aunt, Yulan introduced her: "This is your eldest aunt's mother's cousin, surnamed Su Mingqing." You can just call her Aunt Qing as your cousin and brother. ”
Lu Xiaoyi hurriedly saluted Su Qing, Su Qing smiled lightly and nodded, looking generous and generous, giving people a very comfortable feeling.
After the salute, Lu Xiaoyi stood beside Yulan in an orderly manner, and quietly looked at this young aunt, only to see that she was about twenty-five or sixteen years old, although her appearance was ordinary, but she was very attractive, with a little sadness and haggard at the corners of her eyes, and the original two excellent willow leaf curved eyebrows were also dim and lacked a little aura, Lu Xiaoyi firmly believed that once the sorrow at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows dissipated, the willow leaf curved eyebrows would definitely add a bit of moving posture to this face.
Lu Xiaoyi couldn't help but sneak a few more glances at her, and was caught by Su Qing, Lu Xiaoyi was a little embarrassed, but Su Qing smiled faintly, continued to sit upright, and looked at her from the sitting position, she was half a head shorter than Magnolia, she was petite, wearing a washed white sky blue skirt, without any ornaments on her body, simple and neat, which made people look very comfortable.
Yulan said angrily: "Qingmei, is your father feeling better?" ”
Su Qing replied with a faint smile: "Thank you Sister Yulan for your concern, my father is much better now, and the doctor said that it will be fine if he takes a few more pills to recuperate." ”
The eldest aunt scolded angrily: "Taking medicine can only cure the symptoms, can it cure the root cause?" My cousin's illness came out of my sister-in-law's anger, I have never seen such a shrew, every day at home to make a face and color is not to smash the table and fall on the bench, isn't she just doing it for Su Qing to see? When I went back, I happened to catch up with her to beat and scold Su Qing, and I went up and slapped her with a big mouth, phew! Black-eyed pickled shrew, I can't slap her! ”
Lu Xiaoyi saw that his aunt gritted her teeth, which was quite a bit of the demeanor of her uncle when he lost his temper, it seems that the husband and wife have been together for a long time, and their words and deeds still affect each other.
Su Qing was a little ashamed, and called her cousin softly, wanting to beg her cousin to say a few words.
The eldest aunt was still angry, turned her head to Su Qing and said, "You, you, you know that you are hard-working and enduring, what are you afraid of her doing with a shrew like her?" You have the courage to go to the nunnery to be a sister-in-law, why don't you dare to quarrel with her? ”
Su Qing said gloomily: "My father's illness is out of anger, and now that the illness is just better, what if I quarrel with her again and make my father angry and sick?" ”
The eldest aunt sighed, "Maybe it was your filial piety that touched God, and my cousin's illness got better so quickly!" Ay! Don't stay in that home, if you stay any longer, your sister-in-law will make a face all day long, your father will feel uncomfortable and will get sick sooner or later, so he simply comes out to make a living. ”
Su Qing was silent.
The eldest aunt said again: "Also, your heart to go to the nunnery to be a sister-in-law died for me as soon as possible, how many times have I told you, your sister-in-law can't tolerate you, cousin, I will tolerate you; Your sister-in-law is greedy for money and wants to marry you to those scoundrels, cousin, for your sake, I will definitely find you a good family. ”
Su Qing said sadly: "Cousin, my life is hard, I don't want to hurt anyone..."
The eldest aunt reprimanded her angrily: "Why are you so stupid, you, that short-lived ghost died by himself, he deserved it, and there were rumors that you were forced not to marry, and now ten years have passed, why haven't you figured it out?" ”
Yulan smiled and relieved the siege, "Sister-in-law, take a sip of tea, it won't taste good when it's cold." He added: "Qingmei would rather be a sister-in-law than obey her sister-in-law's arrangement, which shows that she is not as cowardly as you think, this time I can follow you out, I can see that she is also an assertive person, sister-in-law, you can say a few words!" ”
The eldest aunt took the tea and drank it, which was considered to agree with Yulan's words.
Yulan said softly to Su Qing again: "I have also heard your cousin about your situation, and I will also tell you a few words of confidant!" ”
Su Qing nodded.
Yulan said: "If there is an old girl with a bad reputation in our village, her life will be more tiring than that of others." If nothing else, those who can be smashed by gossip will not be able to straighten their waists. Although you were protected by your father and mother at that time, they couldn't protect you for a lifetime, and sooner or later you have to live with your brother and sister-in-law, and it is inevitable to be angry with your sister-in-law, isn't it? ”
Su Qing muttered, "Sister Yulan, I understand what you said. ”
Yulan continued: "My mother once told me that people's lives must be fought for by themselves! I'll tell you this now, although you and I are both weak women, but our desperate hearts are not inferior to men. You are still young, and you have only been on the road of life for more than 20 years. There's still a long way to go. Your cousin's previous words are also really planning for you. You just left that home, there must be a lot of discomfort, and now it is indeed difficult for you to marry. It's better to take your time. You can live with me in peace first. Adjust your mood and save some money, and talk about the future in the future, what do you think? ”
Su Qing was grateful. got up and saluted Yulan and thanked him, "I'm causing trouble with your family." ”
Yulan smiled: "They are all relatives, why are they so polite!" ”
The eldest aunt drank a bowl of tea to the end, and the impatience in her heart calmed down, and Lu Xiaoyi hurriedly helped her fill up the tea.
The eldest aunt smiled and said, "Qingmei, don't worry, my sister-in-law is fine, and her family is also kind and polite." After looking around again, he whispered: "There is only one person you have to watch out for, that is, the old woman in her family, who is a very ruthless character, you see her to hide, if she scolds, you also pretend not to hear, you know?" ”
Lu Xiaoyi covered her mouth and smiled, "Auntie, Aunt Qing can't hide, she lives on the east side of the main house, and I don't see my grandmother when I look up and look down." ”
The eldest aunt's brows jumped, and she looked at Yulan suspiciously, Yulan nodded and said, "The room here is tight, so I will temporarily settle Qingmei on my mother-in-law's side, and let her move over when the new yard is built." ”
The eldest aunt pressed her brows, worried that her cousin would be bullied by Mrs. Lu, but the actual situation of the Yulan family is like this, this is already the best way at present.
The eldest aunt smiled and said to Su Qing: "Except for you to rest there at night, you stay here in the east house during the day and try to avoid that mother-in-law." ”
Su Qing nodded, secretly wondering what kind of character this mother-in-law is, even the spicy cousin is a little hairy, just thinking about it, a mother-in-law holding a child appeared at the door of the hall, Su Qing guessed that this person was the cousin's mouth, and couldn't help but get nervous.
Yulan hurriedly got up to greet her, took Xiaofeng in Mrs. Lu's arms, and introduced Su Qing to her.
Mrs. Lu glanced at it and said, "Do you work neatly?" ”
Su Qingleng paused for a moment, and quickly nodded, "Lisuo." After saying that, I felt that it was inappropriate to reply, how could I boast about my own profit? Don't let this woman laugh at her.
Mrs. Lu is the kind of person who likes to be straightforward, and she speaks modestly with her, she doesn't like it, she is very satisfied with this straightforward way of speaking, and looks Su Qing up and down, "Look at it, it's a neat person." ”
Su Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and Mrs. Lu immediately said: "The house fee is fifty wen a month, and it will be paid at the end of the month." ”
Yulan was very helpless, she originally didn't plan to mention the house money to Su Qing, but wanted to pay for Mrs. Lu out of her own pocket in private, who would have thought that Mrs. Lu would bring it up in front of her so boldly, Yulan looked at her sister-in-law and Su Qing embarrassedly, and smiled bitterly and couldn't speak.
Su Qing said respectfully: "What Auntie said is that Su Qing eats and drinks at the Lu family, and it is appropriate to give the house money, and I hope that Auntie will not be bothered by Su Qing." ”
Su Qing is the kind of person who makes people more comfortable the more they look at her, Mrs. Lu looks at her quite pleasing to the eye, and she is also listened to when she speaks, so her tone becomes gentler, "Let's move over in a while, the house is cleaned up." After speaking, he asked Yulan again: "What about Xiaorui?" ”
Yulan pouted at Nunu next door, "Xiao Ding is looking at it." ”
Mrs. Lu took Xiaofeng over again, planning to go next door, walked to the door of the hall and saw that the wooden basin with diapers was still on the stone platform, and said loudly: "Xiaoyi, why don't you dry diapers?" Xiao Rui didn't change it for a while, so I will tear your new clothes and pad it. ”
Lu Xiaoyi really forgot about this and hurried out, Mrs. Lu was still waiting outside, muttering and complaining that Xiao Yi didn't dry diapers in time, and she didn't shut up until Xiao Yi finished drying diapers.
Lu Pozi's complaint, Yulan and the others heard it clearly in the hall, Yulan smiled bitterly and explained a few words to Su Qing, and then moved on to other easy topics, and the three of them chatted until noon before going to the stove room to cook lunch together, and Yulan took Su Qin to familiarize herself with the Lu family's courtyard.
