Chapter Eighty-Three: Night Talk

The big house covers the pot house, and the sound of knocking and banging is all over the yard.

The sound drilled into Mrs. Chen's ears, like a magic sound, her ears hurt, and this pain hurt her heart.

At night, the big house was in his newly built pot house, and he didn't care that the lime on the walls and pot table was not dry, so he turned on the fire and set the bottom of the pot on fire.

Zhao and Zhang were beaten by Li and stayed in the house all day, unwilling to come out to meet people.

When the fragrance of the food wafted out of the upper room, Zhao took Chen Xuemiao to find Mrs. Chen and cried: "...... It's the first time I've married into the Chen family for so many years, she hit my head last time, and this time she beat me again, and next time it's my mother and father. ”

provoke Mrs. Chen to be angry for her.

The aroma of the food approached Mrs. Chen's nasal cavity, and her brain hurt. She is upset, usually the big house is dangling in front of her, and there is a thorn in her heart from time to time to remind her that she is a steproom; Now that the big house has been divided into a house, and a pot house has been divided, there is a posture away from the upper room, but she has an emptiness in her heart.

The delicate nature of Zhao's pear blossom with rain made the fire in Mrs. Chen's stomach surround a few times. Originally, the second daughter-in-law was promoted, a large part of the reason was to use her to clamp down on the eldest daughter-in-law, in the past, she smiled with a knife, and often choked like arsenic, and the big house had nothing to say, but since Xue Jiao hit the wall, Zhao's combat effectiveness has weakened significantly, and he was cried in front of him by the big house.

There was a noise of Chen Xuejiao and Chen Qiping fighting outside.

The crying voices of Zhao and Chen Xuemiao in front of them.

Old Mrs. Chen was even more annoyed in her heart, and said to Zhao with a cold face: "Seeing that you are usually a pungent person, why are you even afraid of her, and you don't fight back when you are beaten in the face." She's going to beat me and your dad, and she's not that big of a grind. ”

So big grinding fingers don't have that much ability.

Zhao is extremely good at observing words and feelings, and listened to this. knew that Mrs. Chen not only didn't sympathize with herself, but blamed herself for being a white house. had to wipe away her tears and retreat with Chen Xuemiao.

Zhao has always been a person who is not afraid of the high stage when watching the play, but now she is standing on the high stage to watch her play, how can she be willing.

I thought in my heart, and when Xue Yao came, I would have to take revenge sooner or later.

Mrs. Chen sat on the kang. When it was dark, Zhang came out of the south wing and went to the pot house to cook.

In the upper room, the old man Chen sat on the top to eat.

Zhang's made pimple soup and brought it to the upper room to Mrs. Chen, and saw the sumptuous meal inside through the curtain of the north wing, and his heart was sour.

Chen Xuejiao left two bowls of stewed pork with cabbage and tofu and a bowl of pork liver with green pepper and sent them to Mrs. Chen and Cai's respectively.

Mrs. Chen sat at the dining table with a gloomy face.

Chen Xuejiao lifted the curtain and put a bowl of stewed pork with cabbage and tofu and a bowl of pork liver with green pepper on the table.

"Milk, I'll bring you food, and my grandfather will eat it at my house." Chen Xuejiao automatically ignored Old Lady Chen's face. Said cheerfully.

"What's the matter, I've brought food to our family, I always want to eat tofu." Zhang was beaten by Lee, and all his embarrassment was shattered in front of the food.

Old Mrs. Chen glanced at Zhang fiercely.

Chen Xuejiao didn't care, and happily withdrew. She thought to herself, it's hard for Mrs. Chen, she is old, and her face is gloomy all day long. Don't be tired of panicking.

Fortunately, it was separated, and there was no need to look at Old Mrs. Chen's face to eat.

Chen Xuejiao returned to the new pot house.

Old Man Chen, Li Yuntian, Da Nian, Da Zhuang, Mura Zheng, Xianglian Daddy and several other laborers in the village were eating and drinking. Chen Qi'an, on behalf of Chen Xiucai, sat with Li Yuntian, and brought Han Xingjian and Zhao Yiming from the school to accompany him, and the meal was lively.

Everyone at the banquet heard that Chen Xuejiao and Chen Qi'an were going to follow Li Yuntian to Weishan Lake, and they all sighed that these two children were sensible.

The old men of the country house drink and eat, and the women cannot serve the table. Li left a few dishes and placed them on the board of the pot house. Wait for Chen Xuejiao to come back from the upper room to deliver food.

Today, when the pot house was built, Da Dan and Xuewa made a lot of efforts, and the Li family called the two children into the pot house to eat together.

Chen Xueru sighed: "It's better to have your own pot house, what you want to cook and cook, and you don't have any eyes to stare at anymore." ”

Big Dan's face flushed when he heard this. I thought that the eldest aunt beat her own mother, and even had a prejudice against him, but I didn't expect the eldest aunt to treat him the same, and after listening to Xue Ru's words, I felt ashamed of the Zhao family.

"yes, life is comfortable." Chen Xuejiao sighed.

Comfortable, Li was stunned for a moment. Since she married into the Li family, her heart has always been in her throat, and every day she is working, working, and constantly working, rarely thinking about anything else, and her life has become numb. Now that I have listened to Xue Jiao's words, my heart is bright, but it is not comfortable.

Although the family was separated before, but cooking in a pot house, the Li family always hurried to make their own meals, and was ridiculed by Mrs. Chen for scolding Huai. Nowadays, in my own pot house, I don't cook as much as I want, I can cook whenever I want.

The last trace of guilt in my heart because of the separation of the family and the upper room disappeared.

Chen Xuewa said to Chen Xuejiao enviously: "Sister Xuejiao, when will my family be able to separate it alone." ”

After dinner, Li took the children and sent Muramasa and the others away. Zhao Yiming thought that he couldn't see Chen Xuejiao these days, but he was a little lost, and when he left, he asked Chen Xuejiao when he would come back. Chen Xuejiao gave him an uncertain answer, and there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

Old Man Li drank too much wine and was appeased by Chen Qi and entered the upper room.

"Qi An, ah...... "Old man Chen showed affection to Chen Qi An for the first time, "You will go to Weishan Lake tomorrow, when you were young, you passed by there as a partner in the horse team, and the scenery there is beautiful, there are water chestnuts and fish." Qi An, you arrived to bring some water chestnuts to the master, I don't know if there is any weather now...... The water there is beautiful, it's just too cold......"

Old Man Chen whispered, his eyes were eagerly psychedelic: "...... The water is too cold, but it's nice...... If only I could go back to that time......"

Old Man Chen tilted his head and fell asleep, Chen Qi'an withdrew his hand from Old Man Chen's hand, wondering in his heart that since he knew that he was going to Weishan Lake, he poured a few glasses of wine on the dinner table, and pulled himself to say such a thing.

Soon relieved, perhaps the master thought of the time when he was young in the horse team.

Chen Qi'an tucked the corner of the quilt for Master Chen, turned around and walked out of the upper room.

Old Man Chen opened his eyes gently, and his memories were like the moonlight in late autumn.

In that autumn, in such a night, he went to Weishan Lake with the horse team, and when he was relieved, he met a woman who jumped into the river, he rescued her, and she followed him back to Maoshan Village.

The lake was so cold that night, but his heart was warm.

……

Because they are going to leave for Weishan Lake tomorrow, the Li family sent their eldest brother Li Yuntian, Da Zhuang, Da Nian, Chen Xuejiao and Chen Qi'an to go to bed early and keep their spirits up and walk. The luggage and baggage were packed up by the Li family with Chen Xueru and Wang Jinghao, and the Li family gave Xue Jiao the five taels of silver given by Mrs. Li.

Chen Xiucai called them over to ask them some things, and learned from Chen Xiucai that Gu Siyuan and Huang Sanlang were going back to Beijing, and they happened to pass Weishan Lake, planning to go with Li Yuntian, and they had their own horses and carts.

“…… I won't say much else, I believe in the eldest brother's personality, and I can rest assured that I will hand over the two children to you. Chen Xiucai said to Li Yuntian, and instructed Chen Qi'an, "When I was as old as you, I kept accounts in the horse team, and you should also experience it, and you should discuss with your uncle if you encounter anything." ”

"Don't worry, don't say anything else, Qi An is my nephew, and I will treat him like a son." Li Yuntian said.

"What my father instructed me to do is that I will follow my uncle for a good experience." Chen Qi'an said respectfully.

Here, Li pulled Chen Xuejiao and advised.

“…… It's that far, can it work? ”

"A girl's house, just don't go."

"Our family has food to eat, and we don't do the business of Naraush."

…… Li babbled and said, bursting into tears, Chen Xuejiao comforted her carefully, and Chen Xueru and Wang Jinghao also came to persuade her.

Chen Xuejiao diverted the conversation: "Before, I was worried that my brother and I were leaving, my father was lying down, and my mother would suffer the loss of the room, but I didn't expect my mother to be so spicy yesterday, so I was relieved." ”

Li was embarrassed: "It's all for the sake of the children." ”

"Sister, Sister Jinghao, you two are soft-natured, if Xue Miao comes to provoke you again, she will fight back whatever she says, don't be silent, Xue Miao is a bully who is afraid of hardness. The third aunt is okay to say, but the mouth is lazy, guard against it, and the second aunt is a person who hides a knife in her smile, don't let her mother be alone with her, to prevent her from coaxing her mother with clever words. Chen Xuejiao advised.

Chen Xueru nodded solemnly. Jing Hao seemed absent-minded, since she knew that Huang Sanlang was leaving here, there was an unspeakable love in her heart, and she still owed him money.

Chen Xuejiao didn't notice Jing Hao's expression, and took Li and Xueru's hands and said, "...... Tea eggs will continue to be sold, and the second brother-in-law will send raw eggs, so we can just cook and sell them at home. I wrote the recipe, put it under the pillow, and my sister kept it, and if there was anything I didn't understand, I would do it. ”

As if there was something to say, Li stopped it in time.

Because she had to go on her way tomorrow, Chen Xuejiao went to bed early after washing. (To be continued......)
