The sun and shadow are slanting westward, and the guests of the Li family are gradually leaving.

After all, Xia Xiaoding is not officially married, but only relatives of the family and Qiao's mother's family, so the Li family has been busy for a day, and they will be idle in the evening.

Li took Chen Xuejiao and Chen Qiping to bid farewell to their parents, but Mrs. Li was obviously reluctant to let her go back.

"Sister, you finally came to the house and stayed for one night." Qiao's mouth was saved.

"The child's father ......" Li was not worried about Chen Xiucai.

"Xue Ru is a big girl, cooking and laundry caretaker is the same as when you were a child, with her taking care of your brother-in-law at home, you can rest assured that you can live there, not to mention that there are Jinghao and Qi An at home, they are all proper children." Wen is in line with Joe's.

"Stay and let the big year send you back, go back and take good care of the child's father." Mrs. Li opened her mouth, rubbing Xue Jiao's hand with a reluctant face, "Otherwise, you are talking to your mother, and I don't have time to talk to you this day." ”

Lee's heart was sad, and his eyes were red.

Chen Xuejiao likes Mrs. Li, this is a gentle, kind and sympathetic old lady, but she is also a mother, and she hopes to talk to her married daughter.

"Mother, what the concubine said is right, my sister and brother can take care of my father, let's stay at grandma's house for one night tonight, I didn't talk to Sister Cicada properly." Chen Xuejiao coquettishly towards the Li family.

"That's it, mother, I still want Brother Da Nian to take me to dig out the bird's nest, my brother can only read, I want to dig out the bird." Chen Qiping rolled into Li's arms and coquettishly.

Li thought about it for a while, but he was also reluctant to let Mrs. Li in his heart, and said with a smile: "That's okay!" We'll stay tonight. ”

Mrs. Li's eyes obviously lit up, but she still said in her mouth: "It's not today, you should take the children back, so as to save the children's father from worrying." Without waiting for Li's answer, he ordered Li Danian again. You take a car and go to your aunt's house in Maoshan, and tell your sister Xueru and your uncle that your aunt will go back tomorrow. ”

Li Danian agreed, went out to set up a car, and went to Maoshan.

Li leaned in front of Mrs. Li to talk, and Qiao and Wen joked beside them, and they were having a good time. Chen Xuejiao and Li Chancian whispered little secrets, laughing foolishly from time to time.

Chen Xuejiao decided to stay. There is another important thing, that is, I want to ask my uncle Li Yuntian to help buy land. The uncle has been busy, and he is talking to the village at this time, and he can only wait until the evening to talk to him about buying land. Buying land now, just in time for next year's spring ploughing, is a very cost-effective thing, uncle Li Yuntian knows a lot of people and understands the market, so Chen Xuejiao is not at ease with others.

After talking for a while, Li asked Mrs. Li, "Why haven't you seen the third sister-in-law?" ”

Hear Lee's words. Chen Xuejiao looked back and saw Qiao and Wen smiling unnaturally.

Today, Chen Xuejiao saw the third concubine Feng for the first time, she was pregnant, her face was weak, and she didn't smile too much, as if she had this full heart, and she came out and sat down for a short time to greet the guests and go back to the room. Li followed Qiao's to Wangshanwo, and it was normal not to see her.

"She's pregnant now. Always thoughtful, you go to her and talk. Li sighed.

Lee agreed. I got up and went to the back yard.

Chen Xuejiao naturally followed the Li family, the third concubine Feng was lying on the bed with her stomach upright, her face was sallow, and she looked very unlucky, and there was half a bowl of white fungus soup on the table.

Seeing Li and Xuejiao's mother and daughter coming in, they struggled to say hello. Pressed by Lee.

Then he pulled Li to speak, wiping tears from time to time.

"From my father, mother, brother and sister-in-law, to my nephews and nieces, they all treat me very well, not to mention your third brother. I haven't blushed for so many years of marriage, I have only given birth to Nini for so many years, and no one in the family has shown me a face. It's just my father, mother, brother and sister-in-law, my heart is difficult......" Feng Shi choked with a handkerchief, "The day before yesterday, my brother lost money in gambling again, and came to the house to ask me for money, but I didn't give it, he sprinkled it in our yard, which attracted the neighbors to look at each other, although my father and mother didn't say anything about me, but I always ...... in my heart."

Feng's handkerchief was soaking wet.

Li persuaded her: "Sister-in-law, you are pregnant, don't think about it, you don't know who your father is, and you will never be angry with you because of your brother." ”

"But I'm always up and down in my heart, and I really blame my brother for being too out of tune." Feng's eyes are very good-looking, and the misty water vapor is even more beautiful, "Sister-in-law, the second sister-in-law has a good mother's family, but I don't have it." ”

After saying that, I cried again.

"Third sister-in-law, I'll tell my mother about it at dinner, I understand your difficulties." Lee comforted her.

"Really? Thank you so much sister, the person who hurts my mother the most is my sister, and I ask my sister to help me confess in front of my mother. Feng's eyes covered in water vapor radiated a glimmer of brilliance.

“…… My mother is also afraid that you are heavy-minded, so let me talk to you. Seeing her like this, a sour taste came up in Li's heart, and he had to take out Mrs. Li.

"Niangniang still loves me." The brilliance in Feng's eyes grew stronger, but after a while, he passed away, lowered his head and muttered, "I hope this baby is a kid." ”

Listening to Feng's words, Chen Xuejiao's heart turned a thousand times. I didn't expect the third aunt to have such an unbearable mother's family, she must have felt very uncomfortable in her heart, and she was smiling when she saw her every day today, and her heart was full of worries. When the elder brother comes to the in-law's house to make trouble, the in-law's family loses face, and it must be the daughter-in-law who is angry. Don't talk about it far away, just talk about the Chen family, the last time Zhao's brother came to the house, he didn't make a fuss but just said a few words loudly, and he was caught by Mrs. Chen and rectified the Zhao family.

Today, Da Zhuang is a small decision, from the lively Cheng dù and the villagers who cheered, it can be seen that grandpa is a very prestigious person in Lijiazhuang. What's more, when my grandfather was young, he followed the horse team to travel north and south, and he had a wide range of knowledge and vision, which further established his status in the village. was troubled by his daughter-in-law's brother, but he didn't have any slight words about Feng, which was enough to show his open-mindedness.

But for Feng's family, it was precisely because Old Man Li and Old Lady Li did not get angry with her that she was even more panicked in her heart.

I am afraid that the Feng family will talk to the Li family, the main purpose is to hope that the Li family will speak for himself in front of the second elder, after all, the weight of the married daughter's speech is heavy, and the Li family has never been selfish and hopes that the mother's family will be harmonious.

Chen Xuejiao sighed, anyone who is a daughter-in-law will be more or less unsatisfactory. So with Lee. The same is true of Fung.

The sister-in-law talked to each other for a while, and Li comforted Feng's caring words such as raising the fetus well, and took Xuejiao to Mrs. Li.

Because Qiao's and Wen's families and several aunts of the family were there, the Li family didn't say anything about the Feng family, which was also to save her face in front of the concubine. After all, the matter of her mother's family did make the Li family lose face, and it was the time for Da Zhuang to say goodbye. Qiao's sister-in-law, as the eldest sister-in-law, will also have awkwardness in her heart, even the sisters of the same mother will also make trouble, not to mention the two of them.

"Oh, this is Xue Jiao, the true spirit of Chang, I heard that she has an idea, and the tea egg is what she came up with." One of Li's own aunts took Xue Jiao's hand and praised it.

"My aunt laughed, my daughter is still young. I just like to play, but fortunately, it's still intimate. Li said humbly.

Chen Xuejiao smiled in her heart, secretly humbly and openly praised herself, a girl's intimacy to her mother is the biggest advantage, here are all mothers, who doesn't want their children and mothers to be intimate.

"My sister is caring." Chen Xuejiao blushed and led the topic to Chen Xueru.

"Not really, my great niece. It's good-looking, and it's good-looking. Hand and skillful, the last time I went to my sister's house, I saw a bird flying on the curtain, I couldn't drive away, I took a closer look, it turned out to be snow embroidered on the top. The rice was also well cooked. Like her mother, she can cook a large table of dishes that are not the same. Qiao Shi smiled and praised Chen Xueru.

So everyone praised Chen Xueru and asked her if she was engaged.

A girl's family, diligent and good-natured. Skillful, but a daughter-in-law who is earning a hundred families.

"Xueru is as big as Chanchan, I think Chanchan is better than Xueru, she looks good, she is cool and generous, and she can do everything at home and abroad." Li Shi led the topic to Li Chanchan again, "My niece will talk about marriage in the future, don't step on our threshold." ”

Li Chanchan blushed with shame beside her, pulled Xue Jiao's sleeve and said with a stupid smile: "Auntie would say such a thing." ”

Wen heard Li praise his daughter in public, his heart was happy, his face was unconscious, and he said with a smile: "I went to my mother's house, and people said that our Li family's children, grandchildren follow their grandfathers, girls follow their grandmothers, and my Chanchan didn't learn from her grandmother when she was a child." ”

The words not only praised Qiao's children, but also flattered Old Man Li and Old Lady Li without a trace.

The room full of people laughed.

Someone talked about Li again: "Now that life is better, the family is separated, and the children have a future, I am afraid that the days will get better and better." ”

Mrs. Li was naturally happy when she heard this, and she started talking to people along with these words.

Soon it was dark, and the Li family's aunts and aunts all went back. Qiao and Wen went to cook, and Li went to help, and was pushed out of the pot house by the two of them.

"You talk to your mother well."

"You are the most noble aunt and grandmother when you come to our house, how can you let you work."

Mr. Li and Mr. Li Yuntian were called by a neighbor to drink, and the neighbor wanted to buy a ploughing cow, so Mr. Li and his son went to see each other. This is normal, after all, buying a cow in this era is tantamount to buying a tractor in modern times, and you must find someone who understands the market to help you look at each other.

Chen Xuejiao had to wait until tomorrow morning to talk to Li Yuntian about buying land.

After dinner, Mrs. Li pulled Li, Chen Xuejiao and Chen Qiping to sleep with her, in order to have a private conversation with Li.

After washing their feet, Chen Xuejiao and Chen Qiping got into the bed.

In the wax moon, the north wind is howling, but the house is extremely warm. Mrs. Li's kang is very large, it burns very warm, there is a box at the head of the bed, and the old man took pastries, pumpkin seeds, honey and other food from it and put it on the kang for the two children to eat.

Chen Xuejiao usually doesn't eat snacks at night, but today she made an exception, because Mrs. Li made her feel pampered, just like her grandmother pampered herself in her previous life.

Li and Mrs. Chen whispered.

Li is happy in his heart, after being married for so many years, this is the first time he has spent the night at his mother's house.

Speaking of Feng, Mrs. Li sighed and said, "...... She can't think of it herself, since your third brother insisted on marrying this family, we have to be good to her...... Whether to give birth to a son or not, what is the goal, this is all fate, there is something in life, there is nothing in the life, there is no none, what is tight"

Chen Xuejiao couldn't help but admire Mrs. Li, these words are not such a cognition of modern rural women.

“…… Your life is better now, and your mother doesn't have to worry about it every day. Mrs. Li sighed at Li's current life, "Don't worry about your mother-in-law, you only look at your children." ”

"I know, mother, you and your father broke their hearts for me before, and three children fell in front of you, you want to see how I'm doing every day, and you can't come to the house every day for fear that my mother-in-law will say about me, so you let my brother wander around Maoshan Village three times and twice, just to secretly watch me." Li couldn't stop crying when he said this.

“…… You all know that you stupid child, my mother feels so sorry for you......" Mrs. Li also wiped away her tears.

"Mother, life is better now, poor is poor, but his father and I are united, and a few children are fine." Li wiped away his tears and comforted Mrs. Li.

The two of them blew out the lights, and continued to talk in the moonlight.

Chen Qiping had already fallen asleep, and Chen Xuejiao listened to the whispers of Li and Mrs. Li for a while, and couldn't hold it anymore, so she closed her eyelids. (To be continued......)
