Xiao Gengli got up and stood next to Lu Zhong, not daring to say a word.

Lu Shouzeng came out with an oil lamp, and the slight firelight illuminated the small courtyard in a hazy light, and the originally peaceful night was broken by a roar that followed, "Are you sick again!" Don't get back yet! Of course, Lu Shouzeng scolded Mrs. Lu, her tone was too heavy, and her nose and mouth almost blew out the oil lamp with a blowout, but fortunately, the flame was strong, and she was dying and finally burned tenaciously.

Lu Shouzeng turned and said to Lu Zhong kindly: "It's late, take the children back to sleep!" I'll talk about it tomorrow! The oil lamp was close in front of Lu Shouzeng's eyes, and Lu Xiaoyi could clearly see the mottled wrinkles on his face through the vast night, as well as the mouth and beard that were closed when he spoke.

Lu Zhong said: "I'll take the children into the house, Dad, you go to bed early." ”

Lu Shouzeng raised the oil lamp, walked back to the east house with his children and grandchildren, and then ignored Mrs. Lu, who was standing in the yard stupidly, and entered the main room with the lamp.

Mrs. Lu didn't get a good deal in the hands of her daughter-in-law, her son didn't buy her account, and the only grandson was not intimate with her, the old man scolded her at every turn, thinking of these, Mrs. Lu couldn't stop feeling sour and aggrieved in her heart, she stood silently in the dark yard, until the cold of the autumn night poured into her neck, she sneezed, and hurried back to the main room.

On the east side of the house, Lu Zhong and Yulan had gone back to the bedroom to sleep, and the three sisters and brothers of the Lu family were still tossing and turning, Xiao Geng didn't realize that tonight's incident was all caused by his big mouth, and he said to his sisters happily: "Eldest sister and second sister, do you say that it is better for my mother to give birth to a younger brother or a younger sister?" ”

Lu Xiaoyi crossed his legs and found Xiao Geng's meat ass with his toes. Clipped.

Xiao Geng giggled, "Big sister, you clamp my ass again." ”

Lu Xiaoyi said: "I actually want to clamp your mouth, clamp your big mouth, and save you from talking about family affairs everywhere." ”

"But I was so happy that I wanted to say it." Xiao Geng said honestly.

Xiao Ding gently persuaded: "Little brother, don't take out the family affairs in the future, it's because you told your grandmother before, and your grandmother came to make my mother angry again, and even my father was angry." If Daddy doesn't get angry. I wouldn't have been so cruel to you just now, you see that in the end, you will suffer by yourself. ”

"I was wrong." The tone of the confession was a little choked.

Lu Xiaoyi pinched Xiao Geng's soft ass a few more times, and provoked him: "Xiao Geng, are you a man?" ”

Choked up and replied, "Yes." ”

"Louder!" Lu Xiaoyi pinched him again.

"Yes!" Xiao Geng's voice was firm. Lu Xiaoyi said: "If you are a man, you must show manliness." If you fall, you get up. Dare to admit when you do something wrong, don't cry at every turn, you know? ”

"Hmm!"

Lu Xiaoyi retracted his foot. Sit up and tuck the quilt for Xiao Ding Xiaogeng, "Sleep, start being a real man from tomorrow, feed the cow and chop wood!" ”

Well, just because of this sentence, Xiao Geng got up earlier than usual the next day, shouting "I am a man" not only urged Xiao Yi Xiaoding to get up, but also shouted to feed the cattle and chop wood. Lu Xiaoyi's sleepy eyes couldn't open, otherwise she would drag Xiao Geng to the quilt and continue to sleep, but today was different, she decided to get up early to help Yulan do housework, Xiao Ding was not greedy for sleep, and quickly dressed and got up when she woke up.

Lu Xiaoyi yawned and threw the broom to Xiao Geng, "The first thing a man does every day is to sweep the yard!" ”

Yulan also got up, as usual to go to the stove room to busy breakfast, Xiao Yi Xiaoding followed like a shadow, she was going to scoop water, Xiao Yi took the water scoop first, she was going to get firewood, Xiao Ding ran to the firewood room again, Yulan smiled: "What are you doing?" Am I a nobleman? ”

Lu Xiaoyi said while washing the pot and adding water: "Mother, you are the noble person of our family!" ”

Yulan habitually wanted to poke Lu Xiaoyi's forehead, but Xiaoyi seemed to have a heart, and took the initiative to put her forehead forward, "Na, my mother wants to poke my forehead, and I will take the initiative to send it forward, where to find a filial daughter like me!" ”

Yulan's outstretched finger stopped in mid-air, didn't go to poke, and said angrily: "Although filial piety, he has a flamboyant tongue." ”

Xiao Ding just came in with Chai He, Yulan stepped forward to take over, Xiao Ding didn't let him, "Mother, my eldest sister has taken care of the housework in the future." ”

Yulan was very happy, and muttered: "My daughter is a caring little padded jacket, this is not false at all, look at how filial my two daughters are, if you have a small padded jacket, it is the best!" ”

Lu Xiaoyi doesn't know if Yulan really wants to have another daughter, after all, women in this era want to have more sons, otherwise they wouldn't have cried with joy when they gave birth to Xiaogeng, presumably because they were stimulated by Lu Pozi last night, and Yulan said so angrily.

Xiao Ding had already lit the firewood, and the flames were red and bright, reflecting on her beautiful little face, only to hear her mutter: "Mother, I still want you to have a younger brother." ”

Magnolia didn't seem to care, and asked lightly: "Aren't you afraid that your mother will be angry with your grandmother again?" ”

Xiao Ding shook his head and said seriously: "Mother, it is said that the father and son will fight the tiger brothers, my eldest sister and I will get married sooner or later, and there will be a younger brother in the family, I am worried that he will be bullied in the future and no one will help him." ”

Yulan's eyes were red, and she blinked vigorously until the mist under her eyes dissipated, and then she smiled: "Don't be afraid, Xiao Geng will have cousins to help him in the future!" Who can bully him, besides, the state has national laws and family rules, and everything can't go beyond a reason, as long as he will be an upright person in the future and do things innocently, he will not be afraid of being bullied! ”

Because of the light, Lu Xiaoyi clearly saw Yulan's flickering blinking, and instantly understood Yulan's sincerity, she still wanted to have a son, all the disguises were just because of Mrs. Lu's son.

Lu Zhong came back with water, and saw Yulan sitting on a small square stool in the stove room and saying something with a smile, the eldest daughter was cutting cucumbers on the vegetable table, and the younger daughter was burning firewood in front of the stove, the whole picture was very warm, he was very relieved, poured the water into the tank, walked to Yulan and said with a smile: "With your daughter helping, you can rest more, don't bake the cakes yourself in the afternoon, just have a cousin-in-law to come to help." ”

As soon as Lu Zhong mentioned his sister-in-law, Yulan's face suddenly turned cloudy, and she said lightly: "She can't bear this hardship, besides, she didn't really come to help." I dare to pack the ticket, she can't do it in ten days and will find an excuse to go back and start anew! ”

Lu Zhong frowned, "In this case, you can find it again, as soon as the sister-in-law leaves, we will have to hire someone again." ”

Yulan said: "I thought about this last night, I plan to ask the sister-in-law of the Liu family to help, she met me last time, and asked me if I need manpower here, her eldest son does not need to worry about her in the Chenglou barracks, and her daughter is also married." The youngest son is taken care of by his in-laws at home. She just wanted to come out and earn some money. ”

"You just decide." Lu Zhong believes in Yulan's vision in terms of inviting people.

After breakfast, Wang Dongmei came to the East House with Xiaofeng in her arms, and when she saw Yulan, she smiled and congratulated: "Sister-in-law, congratulations." I heard the news last night and wanted to come over. But it's late and it's inconvenient to come. ”

Yulan was busy giving up her seat to Wang Dongmei. took out the snacks and candies that Wang Yutang sent yesterday to entertain her, and finally sat opposite Wang Dongmei, and said with a smile: "I can still get pregnant again at this age." It's a shame to say it. ”

"Sister-in-law, you are still young, and it is natural to have a child, what is there to be ashamed of!" Wang Dongmei said as she took a piece of candy for Xiaofeng to lick and eat, and when she saw Xiaofeng's little tongue licking happily, she smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you see how greedy my Xiaofeng is." ”

Yulan asked, "Is Xiaofeng weaned?" ”

Wang Dongmei pouted and complained: "It will be broken in three months, I originally wanted to feed it until I was half a year old, who wants my mother-in-law to have more eyes, for fear that my baby will be infertile, just three months old, she will feed Xiaofeng rice cereal and drink broth, Xiaofeng will not eat milk I will return to milk!" ”

Yulan also complained, "You didn't see me last night, and as soon as she came, she asked me if I was pregnant with a son?" also said that another daughter is as good-looking as me, and she still thinks that I am as easy to bully as I was back then. ”

"She was stimulated yesterday, seeing that her sister-in-law had many men, she was jealous, and her sister-in-law said that she had a son, she must be like a cat scratching in her heart, and it is strange if she doesn't make nerves! She is such a person, the sister-in-law can't care about her, she eats and drinks well and raises her body well, regardless of the fact that her son and daughter are born with meat falling from their own body, and their own pain is really painful! ”

Yulan nodded, "I've seen it through a long time ago, so I don't get angry with her!" ”

"Sister-in-law, you have a body, do you still invite someone to scone cakes?" Wang Dongmei asked this because she didn't know that her sister-in-law was going to help.

Yulan said: "Sister-in-law will come in the afternoon!" ”

"Cousin-in-law?" Wang Dongmei pouted, "When did my sister-in-law go to invite?" I didn't hear you mention it! ”

"Where does she need to tell me, just let the old lady come forward to find your eldest brother, and the matter will be settled." Yulan was still angry about this, not because she was unwilling to invite Lu Si's daughter-in-law, but because she was disgusted with this method.

Wang Dongmei smacked it and reminded: "Sister-in-law, I feel that you should still invite someone, my sister-in-law is delicate and delicate, and she will not be able to endure this hardship!" ”

"The old lady has spoken, then let her come, if she can endure hardship, if she is willing to stay, she will stay, if she can't endure hardship, if she wants to leave, we will follow her, it is her freedom to stay, we can't interfere with anything, the future of the province will say that we are not in front of the old lady." Yulan didn't want to mention this character who affected her mood again, and instead told Wang Dongmei that she planned to invite Sister-in-law Liu.

Wang Dongmei said honestly: "I got married late, and I don't know much about these daughters-in-law and mother-in-law in the village, and I don't know what Sister-in-law Liu is like, but I believe in the vision of my sister-in-law, and I think I am a very good person when I look at the sister-in-law you invited, which is obviously different from other daughters-in-law." ”

Yulan was deeply touched, "I was just like you when I got married, I didn't defend anyone, I saw that everyone was a good person, and then I understood after eating a few secret losses, many people smiled and made friends with you, in fact, they wanted to talk from your mouth, and then add oil and vinegar to the words to others, and finally spread beyond recognition, it is you who suffer, and some people seem to be cold and indifferent to keep a distance from you, but in fact, they are cold and warm-hearted, and they are also reliable in speaking and doing things!" ”

Seeing that Wang Dongmei listened carefully, Yulan concluded: "Although these people are not big villains who are traitors, but gossip is also annoying, and when you encounter a strong temperament, you are forced to hang and dive by rumors from time to time. ”

Wang Dongmei was grateful for Yulan's kindness, and kissed Xiaofeng in her arms, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I have her!" No more stupid things! (To be continued......)
