Wang Dongmei gave birth to a daughter, Yulan's family learned the news, and specially sent congratulatory gifts, in addition to sending the necessary eggs, brown sugar glutinous rice and small cotton clothes worn by the child, but also sent a bucket of fresh crucian carp, crucian carp soup is a good thing for milk.

Of course, the moon ceremony is the moon ceremony, Wang Pozi brought a lot of fish to her daughter, in addition to the carp crucian carp and two arms-long big catfish, the big wooden barrel stuffed the carriage full of gears, all the way Ding Ding Bang non-stop, to Xiaxi Village, not only the wooden barrel overflowed half of the water, even the carriage was wet and straight water, and then look at the fish in the wooden barrel, many of them turned over their white bellies, and the distressed Wang Pozi beat her chest.

Wang Yutang said with a smile: "This will know that I am distressed, and I can't wait to load a pond of fish when I load the car." ”

Mrs. Wang was distressed about the fish, and when she heard her son laughing at her, she glared and scolded: "Hey! It's also my fault, let you pick a smooth path, you have to go through those potholed lots, the water in the barrel is all swung out, can the fish live? ”

Wang Yutang admitted his mistake with a smile: "Okay, my mistake is my fault." ”

Mrs. Wang hated him, and said, "Why don't you knock on the door yet, why are you stunned!" ”

Wang Yutang stepped forward in three or two steps, and while banging on the door, he shouted loudly: "The big fresh fish delivered to the door, whether you can buy it or not!" ”

I only heard Mrs. Lu's louder voice coming from the courtyard, "Don't buy it, don't buy it!" Let's go! ”

How could Yulan not hear the voice of our brothers, she came over to open the door with a smile, and Mrs. Lu was about to reprimand, when she saw that outside the courtyard gate was the last thing she wanted to see her in-laws, she turned around and entered the house.

Lu Zhong was not at home, so Yulan called Lu Yong to come over and take a hand, and together they moved the big wooden barrel from the car. ”

Lu Xiaoyi brought clean water, and Mrs. Wang picked up the fish with a white belly, but it had no effect, it was already dead, and Mrs. Wang scolded Wang Yutang angrily.

Wang Yutang smiled and coaxed Mrs. Wang a few words, and when he saw Lu Xiaoyi covering his mouth and snickering on the side, Wang Yutang shrugged his shoulders with a helpless expression.

Yulan asked Lu Yong to bring a large bucket of water, pick out the lively crucian carp, and ask him to carry it to the west courtyard to make soup for Wang Dongmei.

Mrs. Wang washed her hands and face, combed her hair neatly, and pulled her clothes neatly, before taking Yulan to send the rest of the moon gift to the West Courtyard.

Mrs. Lu has always been willful, she has no good impression of her mother-in-law, she hid in the stove room and did not come out, Lu Shouzeng smiled and thanked a few words, and asked Yulan to take Mrs. Wang to the West House.

Lu Xiaoyi was worried about a pot of dead fish in the east courtyard.

Wang Yutang rubbed her head and said, "It's okay, this fish can still be eaten, let's stew this pot of fish at noon, and remember to change the water frequently for the rest of the live fish, maybe they can be raised for a few days." ”

As he was talking, two big catfish in the wooden basin next to him swung their tails, slapped a string of splashes, and splashed Lu Xiaoyi's face, Wang Yutang smiled: "Look, this freshness, it's no problem to raise it for three or five days!" After speaking, he picked up the pot of dead fish and went to the stove room, shouting towards the east house as he walked: "Xiao Ding Xiaogeng is coming, my uncle is going to break the fish!" ”

"Stop shouting, those two went to herd the cattle." Lu Xiaoyi followed.

Wang Yutang regretted, "It's a pity, I can't play a fish bubble!" ”

When the two came to the stove room, Wang Yutang put down the fish basin and found a kitchen knife to skillfully scrape the fish scales. Lu Xiaoyi squatted beside Wang Yutang with a big bowl and asked him, "Uncle, has the fish pond started fishing?" ”

"Well, March is starting in March."

"Do you set up a stall to sell it or give it to a restaurant?"

"Let's set up a stall to sell it for the time being, first pick up the big fish and sell it, and then we can do the round fishing and release it, and then supply the fish to the restaurant."

"Hehe, uncle, this is a steady victory!"

Wang Yutang laughed, dug out the belly of the fish, pulled out the fish bubbles and put them into the bowl held by Lu Xiaoyi, "That's a must!" ”

There are a lot of fish in this pot, and I can't eat it at all, so Lu Xiaoyi said: "Uncle, let's marinate the fish." ”

"What are you doing with it? Don't you need money for salt? Wang Yutang glared, and a fish scale touched his nose, which looked a little funny.

Lu Xiaoyi said: "It's too much to eat!" He smiled while staring at the scales.

Wang Yutang pursed his lower lip and blew on his nose, but the fish scales were so tight that he couldn't blow them off at all, so he squeezed his eyebrows at Lu Xiaoyi angrily, "Look at your uncle playing treasure?" Don't hurry up and help! ”

Lu Xiaoyi smiled and stretched out his hand to help him buckle the fish scales, seeing him smile and show a mouthful of white teeth, Lu Xiaoyi saw the surplus grain in a trance, got up in a trance, ran to get a clean porcelain basin, picked three chopstick-long crucian carp and two fat carp, and ran away.

Wang Yutang came from behind: "Eh! Why go? It's all over the place. ”

Lu Xiaoyi turned his head and grimaced at Wang Yutang, and said mischievously: "Hmph! Don't tell you! ”

"Give the fish back without saying anything!" Wang Yutang jumped angrily.

Lu Xiaoyi giggled, holding the porcelain basin and disappeared at the gate of the courtyard, her steps were very brisk, this kind of mood that something delicious was about to be sent to him, which made the corners of her mouth smile, and she couldn't wait to appear in the Yu family's courtyard immediately.

There was a bush of lush taro leaves growing next to the path, Lu Xiaoyi picked two pieces, one covered with fish, and the other was shaded by the sun, and when he arrived at the small courtyard of the Yu family, he saw General Tie guarding the door, and was a little disappointed and unwilling to return, so he sat on a stone outside the courtyard of the Yu family and waited.

The thorn roses in the courtyard are already higher than the wall, and the rosy buds dotted among the rich green leaves poke their heads out, and it is time to pick the thorn roses again, Lu Xiaoyi can't help licking his lips, a little impatient.

Today's Yu family's small courtyard is very quiet, and the black tiger is also fat and powerful, and the surplus grain must be carried with it when entering the mountains.

Yu Liang once smiled and said to Lu Xiaoyi: "Other people's dogs are helping to enter the mountains, and our black tigers have become fools when they enter the mountains, it is common for chasing rabbits into the bushes and getting stuck, and even slipping and rolling down from the moss stones, Wang Wang turned over and ran away without a trace, if you hear it barking, don't guess, you will be tripped by the green vine again." ”

Lu Xiaoyi made up for the silly appearance of the black tiger, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth lightly and laughed out loud.

People and things always can't help but chatter, no, the barking of the black tiger came from the direction of the mountain forest behind the courtyard, Lu Xiaoyi turned around and looked at the path out of the mountain, a fat black shadow soon appeared, as if it could see interesting things in its eyes that people could not see, sticking out its tongue and waging its tail, Sa Huan'er jumped on the path.

The surplus slowly came out from behind a bush.

Lu Xiaoyi sat on the stone on the mountainside, looking at the surplus grain walking slowly on the green mountain path, and couldn't help but think of a poem he had read: The seventh day of the first month is bright, and the sickle is sharpened and the rice is cut. The fragrance of rice is heard for thousands of miles, and I just hope that Lang will come. Lang Liqingxitou, concubine sitting on Qingshan Pass. Relatively long-term, I don't know how old I am.

Lang Liqingxitou, concubine sitting on Qingshan Pass.

Lu Xiaoyi blushed, hurriedly fanned the wind with taro leaves, saw the surplus grain and looked at it with a smile, and hurriedly handed over the porcelain basin: "Na, the fish raised by my brother-in-law can't be left for a long time in hot weather, so you hurry up and stew it and eat it!" Embarrassed to look at the eyes of the remaining grain, Lu Xiaoyi lowered his head and said quickly: "I've waited too long, I won't stay longer, there are still guests at home!" After saying that, the soles of his feet were greased and slipped.

Along the way, the words kept swirling in my mind, my cheeks became redder and redder, and I went straight to the stove to scoop up the cold well water to wash my face.

Yulan looked at her while frying the fish, and the princess who helped to light the fire smiled: "The child's anger is big, and it is hot to drill into the water as soon as it arrives in June." ”

Lu Xiaoyi wiped the water and smiled: "It's so hot!" His face was red. ”

Magnolia glanced at her and said, "Where did you just go?" Your brother-in-law said you grabbed a few fish and ran away. ”

Lu Xiaoyi said truthfully: "There are too many fish, so I sent a few to Brother Liang." ”

Yulan praised her for her thoughtfulness, Lu Xiaoyi smiled happily, and Yulan told her to find Xiao Ding Xiaogeng back.

Lunch roasted fish, fried fish, stewed fish, made a big table, except for Wang Dongmei, who was confined, Lu Shouzeng, Lu Pozi, Lu Yong, all went to the East Courtyard to eat together, Wang Pozi just after lunch and shouted to go back to Wangjiaba, where is Yulan willing to follow, Lu Zhong also repeatedly retained, let Wang Pozi stay for a few more days, and he personally sent her back by car when he arrived.

Mrs. Wang smiled and asked Wang Yutang to go back to Wangjiaba first.

Early the next morning, Wang Dongmei's family also sent a monthly gift.

Lu Xiaoyi saw Wang Dongmei's family on the day of Lu Yong's marriage, after a year, she has long forgotten what the Wang family looks like, and when she saw it today, she was on the number again, only to see Wang Dongmei's mother carrying half a basket of eggs, and said affectionately: "Mother-in-law, Dongmei is tired of taking care of you more during the month, and our family doesn't have any good things, so I saved some eggs and sent them." After speaking, he handed it to Mrs. Lu with a smile.

Mrs. Lu lazily took the eggs, and did not invite Dongmei's family to sit, so she went into the house alone, and left all the things to Lu Shouzeng to do.

Lu Xiaoyi was a little sympathetic to Lu Shouzeng, and served tea and water to help treat the guests.

When it came to the meal, Mrs. Lu didn't cook lunch for a long time, and Dong Meiniang's family didn't mention leaving, Lu Shouzeng found an excuse to go to the backyard and reprimanded Mrs. Lu's daughter-in-law, so Mrs. Lu made a very homely meal.

Lu Shouzeng shouted to Lu Xiaoyi to stay and eat together, Lu Xiaoyi shook his head, and returned to the east courtyard with a fart, Yulan had already prepared lunch, and while waiting for her, he was talking to Mrs. Wang in the stove room.

I only heard Mrs. Wang sigh: "According to what you say, Lu Yong's daughter-in-law didn't have a good mother's family, she was going to sell her to someone to be a small one at the beginning, and then she married into the Lu family for twenty taels, and her mother's family didn't even give a return gift, isn't this making it difficult for her to be a girl?" ”

Yulan also sighed, and when she saw Lu Xiaoyi coming, she shut up and served the food to the table.

Wang Dongmei's family left after dinner, and when they left, they didn't forget to put the egg basket on it, and Lu Yong sent them out.

Mrs. Lu broke out completely, and scolded Wang Dongmei's confinement room: "The old Lu family has made a few lifetimes of sins, and you are such a daughter-in-law, and the son has not given birth to one, and the shameless mother's family has put it up to eat and drink, and her own daughter has given birth to a child, and she is embarrassed to take out half a basket of eggs?" Bah! The thick-skinned city wall is upside down and the fort is added! A family of four came to eat at their in-laws' house, and they couldn't wait to lick the plates clean! ”

Lu Shouzeng came out of the main room with a black face and scolded Mrs. Lu: "You don't want to anger me to death, are you?" ”

Mrs. Lu complained bitterly: "Old man, have you ever seen such a family? gave birth to his own daughter, and half a basket of eggs was gone? Look at what Yulan's family did again? is still a relative who has turned a few corners, and all the monthly gifts can be taken out. ”

Lu Shouzeng roared: "Shut up if you want to." After speaking, he said to Lu Yong on the side: "Yong'er, you go to the house to accompany your daughter-in-law." ”

Yulan wanted to persuade her, but she was stopped by Wang Pozi, shook her head and said, "This is not something you can participate in, let them quarrel a few words." ”

Lu Xiaoyi couldn't sit still, and ran over to pull Mrs. Lu, "Grandmother, grandmother, Xiao Geng is yelling that he hasn't eaten enough at noon, you go and cook him an egg!" ”

As he was talking, Wang Dongmei's heart-rending cry came from the West House: "Let go of me, let me die with the child, I won't have so many worries when I die." This was followed by the crying of a baby.

Lu Xiaoyi's face changed and he hurriedly rushed to the West House, and Mrs. Lu followed, and Yulan heard the movement, and Mrs. Wang also rushed over.

In the west room, Lu Yong was pinching Wang Dongmei's wrist and wanted to pull out the scissors in her hand, but she pinched it too tightly and couldn't pull it out.

"I really regret it, I should have jumped off the cliff and died, the province took her daughter to die at this time, but she was only a few days in this world, and she was dragged to death by her hard-working mother." After speaking, he vigorously pierced the scissors to his neck.

Lu Xiaoyi was so frightened that he hurriedly stepped forward, took the little baby out of Dongmei's arms, and hid away.

Wang Dongmei has been working all year round, and she has a lot of strength when she tries her best, and when she saw that the scissors were about to pierce her neck, this scene happened to be seen by the later Lu Pozi and others, and she suddenly screamed again.

Lu Yong is a man after all, he pulled Wang Dongmei's wrist away violently, quickly snatched the scissors, and said with red eyes: "If you want to die, let me die first, who made me so useless!" ”

Wang Dongmei cried, Lu Xiaoyi held the baby also cried fiercely, Yulan and Wang Pozi stepped forward to persuade Wang Dongmei, and when her emotions calmed down, she asked Xiaoyi to bring the baby over, Wang Dongmei saw the child, and shed tears.

Mrs. Lu scolded the fierceness just now, and when the real sword and gun came out, she was instigated, standing silently and not speaking, since then, Wang Dongmei has never been scolded by Mrs. Lu in her confinement.
