Li Xiang looked at Jinzhu's movements, and then heard the names "Xiaolian and Xinbao", and guessed who the mother-in-law was talking about, because Jinniu had already recited the name Xinbao to him several times just now.

He was also surprised, it was enough to meet a classmate who knew him here, but he didn't expect this classmate to be related to Jinzhu.

"Classmate Tian Xinxing, you also have a younger brother named Xinbao at home?" Li Xiang asked for Jin Zhu.

"Xinbao? No, he is my cousin, the child of my second uncle's family, my second aunt is from Hedong Village opposite, and she just came back from working outside yesterday, and she said early in the morning that she was going to the town to buy some New Year's goods and send the child to his grandmother's house. ”

"Oh." Li Xiang glanced at Jin Zhu and asked, "Is your second uncle living with you?" ”

"No, my second uncle's family lives in the old building behind me, and when I came back this time, I heard that I was going to leave, and I plan to go to the county seat to buy a suite after the New Year, and my cousin should go to junior high school next year."

From the intermittent conversation between Li Xiang and Tian Xinxing, Jin Zhu learned that Li Xiaolian's husband is now married to Tian Yougui, and his ex-wife fell ill eight years ago, leaving behind a destitute home and a four-year-old daughter. After his wife left, Tian Yougui left his daughter with his parents and went to work in the south by himself.

As for whether Li Xiaolian met Tian Yougui after working in the south or came together with Tian Yougui after being introduced by others after the divorce, this golden bead is not clear.

In short, Li Xiaolian soon gave birth to a son after marriage, and Tian Yougui also loved her, and the two worked hard outside for a few years. With some savings in hand, I don't want to leave my family and business and go out again.

Since Li Xiaolian has been working in a children's clothing factory outside all these years, she is also a tailor herself. So when she went home this time, she wanted to open a small children's clothing factory and shop in the county, producing and selling herself.

This plan should have been there last year, because Yang Dashan remarried, and the Sun family threatened to send back the two children to Li Xiaolian, Li Xiaolian was afraid of being involved with Yang Dashan again, so she left again.

When I went home this time, I heard that Yang Dashan and Sun Xiaoyan had been married a long time ago, and they had no intention of sending their children over. So Li Xiaolian plans to stay again. It just so happened that Tian Yougui's daughter should go to junior high school after the New Year, and it was very inconvenient to go to the town to study. Tian Xinbao should also go to kindergarten, the conditions of the kindergarten in the village are too poor, and for several reasons, Tian Yougui and Li Xiaolian don't want to leave.

Jin Zhu's face changed when he saw Jin Yang hearing these words. Hurriedly took her hand. Shaking his head, he asked Tian Xinxing with a smile, "Doesn't your second aunt want the child she gave birth to before?" ”

"I don't know about this, probably because I was scared, I heard that her ex-husband is not a thing, and my second aunt is all injured,

Her knees are still not good and she can't squat. When it rains, it hurts, and you can't get cold water on your hands. Especially in winter, when I get wet with cold water, it is swollen like a carrot, my second uncle feels sorry for my second aunt, she ......"

While talking, a few more tourists with cameras came into the inn, and Tian Xinxing dropped the gold beads and was busy entertaining other guests.

After the meal, Li Xiang and Jin Zhu went to check out, but they were all rejected by the proprietress, so Li Xiang had to put down a hundred yuan and come out with a few Jin Zhu.

"Eldest sister, I don't hate my mother anymore, my mother is also very pitiful, is my father really so bad?" Jin Liu asked with red eyes.

"One of the things I remember the most is that when my mother gave birth to a golden calf, I thought it was a boy, my mother would be happy, and I would help to serve the confinement child, but my mother didn't come, my mother and my father had a big fight, and my father beat my mother, and then my grandmother came to see my mother, hugged my mother and cried, and helped my mother take us for a few days. Jin Yang's tears also came out.

Such a mother makes them hate it, she is indeed a poor person, in Shi Yuying's words, she has been a cow and horse for Yang Dashan for ten years, and she has left nothing but a pain, and now she is easy to live a good life for a few days, and she is afraid that her ex-husband and her ex-husband's children will make trouble.

"Okay, we won't come to her in the future, just know that she's doing well." Jin Zhu's eyes were also sour.

Yang Jinzhu has more things like this in her memory.

"Then I still don't have a mother?" Taurus asked.

"Taurus has the eldest sister, the second sister, and the third sister who love you, and it's the same." Jin Liu took the hand of the golden bull and coaxed him.

Back at home, Jin Zhu and Jin Yang were busy preparing the Chinese New Year's glutinous rice cake and two simple snacks, red bean and date paste cake and chicken cake, and the strong aroma and laughter wafting from the house diluted the unhappiness of looking for relatives in the morning.

When the first pot of chicken cakes was just fished out of the oil pot, the golden bull came back from the river to catch ducks and geese, and told Jin Zhu Li to play the harmonica by the river again.

Jin Zhu didn't make a sound, she already felt that Li Xiang was a little strange today, and when she returned to the trip, she was obviously not in high spirits when she went, and she seemed to be thinking about something, and when she passed through the village, Jin Zhu noticed that his eyes were particularly fond of staying on the tourists who were carrying painting folders, so Jin Zhu thought that he remembered his dream of being a painter.

Thinking of this, Jin Zhu picked up a few pieces of dim sum on a plate, and was about to send them to Yang Jihua's house, and went to the riverside to see Li Xiang by the way, but before he went out, he saw Yang Qin dragging Yang Shuyu here.

"What a coincidence, come, try my craft, I was about to send it to you, but I didn't expect you to come, but I didn't save me from running errands." Jin Zhu had to press that thought and brought out a few pastries to everyone.

When Yang Shuyu and Yang Qin saw such a fine snack, they didn't care about interrogation, and took a piece and put it in their mouths first.

"It's delicious, it's better than the ones you bought outside, Jinzhu, who did you learn it from?" Yang Qin asked.

"I saw the recipe in the newspaper, I tried it, but I didn't expect it to become, I seem to be a genius in this area." Jin Zhu boasted to himself.

"That's right, my mother said that the dumplings and wontons you made were better than the ones she made." Yang Qin didn't think much about it.

"How is that possible? My pastry chef has been studying for several years, and it is not as delicious as yours. Yang Shuyu was skeptical.

"Well, it's up to you to see if you understand it. That's right. You eat first, and I'll send Jin Yang to Yang Jing's house to send some. Jin Zhu obviously didn't want to go into this topic.

"Jin Zhu, there is one person who has not eaten either. I sat by the river for more than three hours. Yang Qin said.

Jin Zhu heard this and looked at Yang Shuyu, Yang Shuyu turned her head, "I didn't say anything, if you feel sorry for him, he will send him something to eat, I guess he must be missing his mother again." ”

"Mom?" Jin Zhu wondered, could it be that his behavior of looking for his mother today stimulated him?

No way? Shouldn't it be the three of Jin Yang? Otherwise, Jin Zhu would not have risked being suspected of making pastries for Jin Yang to eat, not just to make them happy. Divert their attention?

But then again, Li Xiang's mother chose to leave Li Xiang in such a way, but she was afraid that this Kan Li Xiang would be difficult to pass for the rest of her life. Unlike a few gold beads. Fortunately, he knows that Li Xiaolian is doing well now, and although she is a little resentful in her heart, she will not have that kind of pain of parting from her skin.

This feeling is only understood by Jin Zhu.

"Otherwise, I'll give you a plate of pastries. Send it to him. Jin Zhu asked tentatively.

She wanted to see if Yang Shuyu had really let go of Li Xiang. I also want to see if Yang Shuyu has let go of her prejudices.

Who knew that as soon as Jin Zhu's words fell, Li Xiang's people didn't come in, and the voice came first, "It's so fragrant, I smell the fragrance of your house from afar, what do you do delicious?" ”

Yang Shuyu's face changed when she heard this, and she turned to look at the door, and at this time Li Xiang had already entered the door with a smile on her face. It was really hard to overlap with the detached, indifferent and melancholy teenager she saw by the river.

Yang Shuyu was stunned, she had never seen such a Li Xiang.

"Shuyu. Let's go. Yang Qin pulled Yang Shuyu's clothes.

"No, I'd better go, I'm here to smell the fragrance." Li Xiang said busily.

Hearing this, Jin Zhu hurriedly packed a plate of pastries for Li Xiang, and Li Xiang was about to go back to see his grandmother, so he took the plate and left.

He met the golden bull by the river, afraid that the golden bull would come back to learn the tongue, and afraid that the golden bead would worry about him after hearing it, so he deliberately ran this trip.

Yang Shuyu watched Li Xiang come like a gust of wind in a daze, and left like a gust of wind in less than two minutes, but in just two minutes, she realized that Li Xiang's treatment of Jinzhu was really very different from her.

"How are you?" Yang Shuyu asked Jin Zhu directly.

Jin Zhu shook his head, "I said, I don't want to talk about this now, and Brother Ah Xiang hasn't talked to me about this either." Shuyu, we are all so young, the road will be very long in the future, and no one can guarantee what will happen along the way and what kind of people will be met. To paraphrase a sentence on the lips of our teachers, the task of students is to study, and everything will be talked about when they are admitted to university. ”

That's all Jin Zhu can do to help Yang Shuyu.

"That's it, early love will definitely affect your academic performance, don't you want to go to the university that Brother Axiang is going to take the exam? Then you have to work hard, Brother A Xiang will definitely enter a good university in the imperial capital. Yang Qin also persuaded.

"Do I still have hope?" Yang Shuyu muttered.

Chai Li thinks that she has no hope, and she also has no hope when she wants to enter the same university as Li.

"You're only in your second year of junior high school, where can you go so far? Are you staying for dinner? After Jin Zhu finished speaking, he gave Yang Qin a look.

Who knew that Yang Qin didn't understand the meaning of Jin Zhu, but pulled Yang Shuyu to sit down. Seeing this, Jin Zhu had to sit by the two of them, and entered the stove room by herself, she was busy making pastries all afternoon, and she didn't even make dinner, how could she have time to accompany Yang Shuyu here to worry about Fu Xinziqiang?

"Jin Zhu, how did you spend your thirty nights?" Yang Qin asked.

"I guess I'll live by myself." Jin Zhu said.

Up to now, Zhou Shuixian has not sent anyone to call Jin Zhu to go to the New Year, but Jin Zhu has no intention of going.

"Then go to my house." Yang Qin said busily.

"Forget it, my family will also worship their ancestors." Jin Zhu hurriedly refused.

Yang Shuyu and Yang Qin saw that Jin Zhu was busy in the stove room while taking the time to answer them a few words, knowing that Jin Zhu was really busy, the two sat for a while and left.

The next day, Jin Zhu was about to send the golden cow to see who killed pigs and whose rice fields in the village were selling fish, only to see Li Xiang come over with a bucket and a basket, it turned out that he also went to buy fish and meat for Chinese New Year's Eve in the morning, knowing that Jin Zhu's family was not prepared, so he bought an extra one.

"Wait, I'll give you the money." Jin Zhu saw that Li wanted to put down his things and was about to leave, so he hurriedly grabbed him.

"What do you say?" Li Xiang's face instantly darkened.

"I, I mean, these things are expensive, I, I ......"

"I'll go back to clean up first, and I'll come back in the afternoon to help you clean up, by the way, is there still yesterday's jujube mud cake? My grandmother loved to eat that. Li Xiang quickly interrupted Jin Zhu's words.

"Yes, yes." Jin Zhu hurriedly went in and helped him load a plate.

After Li Xiang left, Jin Yang took a look at the fish in the big basin, a carp weighing two catties, a grass carp weighing three or four catties, and seven or eight crucian carp the size of a palm, and there was also a large piece of pork, about ten catties, and there were also more than a dozen pieces of tofu.

"Eldest sister, I'm afraid I can't buy these things for two hundred yuan." Jin Yang muttered.

"Okay, you take Jin Liu to clean up, and I'll take Jin Niu to wash the sheets and quilt covers." Jin Zhu commanded.

It's rare that there is some sun today, and Jin Zhu estimates that there are a lot of people by the river, but this sheet cover has to go to the river to wash, because there is no such a big basin at home.

Jin Zhu took the golden bull to the riverside, and sure enough, the bluestone slabs by the river were full of women of all ages, all saying that three women in a play, so many women got together, it was much more lively than a play, Jin Zhu heard the laughter of these women from afar, whose family earned money this year, whose family is going to build a new house this year, whose family has not gone home this year, who is not going to work next year, etc.

When Jin Zhu was worried that he had nowhere to put his feet, he saw Lin Yuemei send Jin Xing ashore, make some room for Jin Zhu, and beckon Jin Zhu to come over.

"Jin Zhu, I was about to send Jin Xing to your house to say, tomorrow I will come to the second aunt's house for the New Year, your second uncle is worried about a few of you, and when I come back, I will talk about you a few times, and you will not come to the second uncle's house to play." Lin Yuemei chatted with Jin Zhu enthusiastically.

Jin Zhu looked at so many people around her, of course she knew Lin Yuemei's intentions, and smiled, "Second aunt, we have waited for so long and no one has come to tell us, thinking that this year is going our own way." Since yesterday, we have been preparing all the things for the New Year, so this year our sisters plan to spend it by themselves. ”

"This baby, aren't we busy coming? Besides, didn't I spend so many years at my second aunt's house, so I still have to tell you about it? You guys are too much of an outlooker. Lin Yuemei smiled wryly.

"Jin Zhu, you don't know yet, do you? Your second uncle's family doesn't plan to leave, and there will be someone to take care of you in the future. A woman next to her laughed.

"How many of us are in charge?" As soon as Jin Zhu's mind turned, he understood that Lin Yuemei was definitely going to the county seat if she didn't leave, didn't they plan to let Zhou Shuixian follow them? (To be continued......)
