Wen Yan originally complained in her heart that Mrs. Chen's reputation was affected by her eating chops at Duan's house, but when she saw that her mother was wrapped in a white veil on her head, her eyes were red from crying, she was holding her waist and humming and screaming, and she thought that she was old and had a serious illness that could not be cured, so she stood up and went to find Old Man Chen.

Old Man Chen was sitting in the middle room, Chen Xuejiao and Chen Qiping were sitting cross-legged on the side, I don't know what to say, which made Old Man Chen laugh. Xue Jiao is taking out a delicate paper bag, grabbing a handful of tea from it and putting it in the boiling water, the first water is poured out in the second flush, and said softly: "This is the flower tea that my father brought to the master from Yuhangtuo, which contains wheat winter, licorice, bellflower, and olives from Nanyang, soak it in hot water and wait for it to become warm, and put a spoonful of honey on the tea, which is the most phlegm and throat, and the master often smokes leaves, and it is best to drink this." ”

There was a jar of honey on the table, which was also brought by Chen Xiucai.

Old Man Chen's tears of laughter flowed, in the end, the eldest son is filial, the water is so dangerous, nine deaths, and he didn't forget to bring tea to his father. Think about the second son, he loved him so much when he was young, he spoiled him, went to Xuzhou Mansion to enjoy happiness, and he didn't say that he would send a letter to his family after he had been gone for a few months. There was such a big thing in the eldest child, and it was spread all over Xuzhou Mansion, and the second room was not seen to come to the house.

Chen Qiping saw that Old Man Chen was smiling, took out a pinch of tobacco leaves from the cigarette box at the head of the bed, carefully put it in the smoke pot, lit the fire and handed it to Old Man Chen: "Grandpa, with this tea, I am no longer afraid of smoking and having a sore throat." ”

At this time, the tea was warm, Xue Jiao neatly unscrewed the honey jar, scooped out a spoonful, dripped into the tea and stirred a few times.

The three of them all knew that Wen Yan was right in front of them, and no one spoke to her. Wen Yan saw that Old Man Chen was taking Xue Jiao and Qi Ping as treasures, and a sour water came out of his heart.

The size is affected by Mrs. Chen. She only recognized the three sons born by Mrs. Chen as her elder brothers, and the rest were not close to anyone. Chen Xiucai came to the news of the death, her mother's family is such a big thing, her man asked her to come to see her sister-in-law and nephew, no matter how bad it is, she has to come to see her father, she is very unwilling to scold her own man with a cold face and her own heart is not the same, regardless of her own affairs, but to care about the life and death of others.

My mother was lying on the kang and she was sick to death or alive. Here, my father is taking care of outsiders. In Wen Yan's heart, Dafang is not an outsider. Wen Yan was angry in his heart, and shouted with resentment: "Dad, my mother is sick." I can't get up, people who are so old don't dare to lie down like this all the time. ”

"Just lie down for a few days." Old Man Chen took the tea brought by Xue Jiao, took a sip and said lightly.

Wen Yan saw that his father was so cold. Coupled with the fierceness of the clothes outside, it is said that Mrs. Chen treats the original children harshly. Don't look at such an old age, if the defendant is sent to the government, the same standing pig cage parade on the street, she thinks that her father is cold to her mother. If the mother really falls into that field, as a daughter, she won't want to raise her head in the future. I burst into tears in my heart, and choked up: "My mother is really going to die." Dad and mother have lived for most of their lives, and they don't care if they live or die when they get old. ”

Chen Xuejiao raised her eyelids and looked at this little aunt, so an adult, wearing a peach-colored shirt, with tears on her face, coquettish and stupid, not like an adult at all.

If you talk about these children, the only Wen Yan has been watched by Mr. Chen since he was born, whether it is the three children of the Liu family or the three sons of Mrs. Chen, his father was not around when he was a child. Among the children, the most painful and favorite is also this girl, the old man Chen has blown his beard and stared in the past few days, and he does not have to ask Mrs. Chen to bow down and be small, he deliberately colds her, seeing that the girl is already a mother standing beside her and crying, he has three points of reluctance in his heart, sighs, puts down the tea, and pulls her to sit beside him: "But what grievances have you suffered in your mother-in-law's house?" ”

Wen Yan bit her lip and didn't speak, Chen Xuejiao saw this, and hurriedly pulled Chen Qiping to get up: "Master, the tea is on the table for you, you have to remember to drink it, Qi Ping and I will go back first." ”

"My sister-in-law is teasing me today, saying that I am a traitor in my stomach like my mother" Wen Yan saw that Old Man Chen was still treating her like before, and her face was a little better than just now, and she spit out the grievances she had received at her mother-in-law's house with a whoop, and threw Mrs. Chen lying on the kang aside.

When Mrs. Chen heard Wen Yan say this in the house, she hid a bubble of blood in her heart, why is her daughter still so stupid, it's okay if she doesn't say this, but it will touch the heart of Old Man Chen.

It just so happened that Zhang came in with a bowl of noodle tea, and after hearing Wen Yan's words, he frowned and added: "It's difficult to be a stepmother, and the hearts of people outside are biased, no matter what good words or bad words are poured on my mother's head." ”

Mrs. Chen gritted her teeth with hatred, this is another stupid.

Old Man Chen knew that it was even more unseemly if he continued to talk about it, he knew in his heart that Mrs. Chen was too much of a pretend, and he was worried that his daughter's situation in her mother-in-law's house was getting more and more difficult, so he had to pat Wen Yan's hand: "Bring this bowl of noodle tea to your mother to drink, most of the time it's fine." ”

When the bowl of noodle tea was brought to Mrs. Chen, she poured it into her stomach in one go, and most of her heart disease was cured.

Old Man Chen took out a few pennies from the box and handed it to Zhang: "Your sister is here, you buy some fine food for her to eat." After thinking about it, he said, "I'm boiling more eggs for your mother." ”

It was still Zhang's idea to let the matchmaker in the town go to Li's house, and the matchmaker suffered this loss, which not only stinked Mrs. Chen's reputation, but also ruined Zhang's reputation by the way.

She has a ghost in her heart, these days I see that Old Man Chen is unhappy, and yesterday because the tea was too hot, she beat Chen Zigui. Zhang's old man Chen was dissatisfied with her in his heart, and her husband was always bad at beating and scolding his daughter-in-law, so he had to beat her man by playing the topic.

She was tired of calling Mr. Chen this time, and clamped her tail every day, just like when she had just passed the door, before the sun rose, she got up and went into the pot house, and treated a table of food for Mr. Chen to use, and poured a full of wine, and the dishes she cooked were not as difficult to eat as before.

Old man Chen knew Zhang's heart disease, and he didn't pay attention to it, he was not close to Dafang, and he was a daughter-in-law, so it was cold, and he would be almost inseparable in the future. Zhang saw that Old Man Chen ate her food and drank her wine, thinking that he had forgotten the stubble, and gradually changed back to the original in the past two days.

Zhang took the money and bought half a catty of pig ears. Half a chicken, and the rest of the money to buy some snacks and hide them in the house to eat slowly.

Mrs. Chen wiped her mouth and scolded Chen Xiucai, the Li family, and the Duan family, and finally slipped her tongue and scolded Chen Xiucai again, scolding tired of holding Wen Yan's hand: "You go to the pot house to have a look, I have been in bad health for the past two days." Your sister-in-law who can't make it is a waste of oil and salt. ”

Wen Yan swirled into the pot house with a gust of wind. I saw Zhang's head down and cut the pig's ear, cut it and eat it, and she only had half a plate left after she ate the whole pig's ear.

"I was really told by my mother. How sooner or later will your rat stealing food get better? Wen Yan brushed the ashes off his body with a handkerchief, and he was about to snatch the pig's ears with his hand.

Zhang ignored her, picked up a piece of fat and stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed a mouthful of oil out. Raised two fingers and pointed at the point, with a mysterious expression: "What are we?" I heard that the boss didn't die this time, but he made a big deal and sent a silver ticket. ”

Wen Yan bit his lip, and his eyes rolled and rolled. Turn around and walk towards the north wing.

When Zhang saw Wen Yan go to pat the door of the North Wing, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he picked up another piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth. The water spilled by the married girl. Only she had the face to come to her mother's house to scold her sister-in-law, and this word spread out. Her two daughters don't want to get married.

As soon as the Li family brought the food to the table, he heard someone knocking on the door, Chen Xuejiao answered, and when she opened the door, she saw that it was her sister-in-law Wenyan. She rarely goes to the door of the North Wing, even during the New Year's Festival.

I had already taken a picture in the upper room just now, and Chen Xuejiao smiled slightly: "What's the matter with my sister-in-law?" ”

Although Wen Yan is stupid, she is also the most slippery, Xue Jiao just saw her enter the pot house and talk to Zhang's family for a few words, and she came to the door in less than a quarter of an hour.

Li Shi lightly placed the dishes and chopsticks, raised his head and greeted her. In the past, she would have invited her to the table regardless of her previous suspicions, and sandwiched her favorite dishes, but now it is different from the past, her dear brother was killed, and she didn't say a word, let alone visit her.

Wen Yan thought that others couldn't see through his thoughts, and suddenly his eyes turned red: "The news came first, I was startled, I wanted to come to see my sister-in-law, how could I bear that the wheat was going to be harvested, you know that the wheat grains fell off if they were not harvested for a day." I told my family all day long that my brother would be fine, but I didn't say it was accurate. ”

She just listens to what she says, she doesn't take it seriously, and it is impossible for the Li family to take it seriously. is really thick-skinned, like telling a story, the news of Chen Xiucai's death came that the wheat was still green.

Seeing that no one responded, Wen Yan held back his tears. Xue Jiao, Xue Ru, and Jing Hao saw that she was sincere, and couldn't help but purse their lips and smile.

Wen Yan saw that the Li family loved to ignore it, and even more determined that what the Zhang family said was true, the boss this time is really a big disaster, there will be a blessing in the future, it is a big hair, she stroked the broken hair in front of her forehead, and asked in a stack: "Brother except for a letter from the front, I have never come again, I heard that people say that there is gold and silver everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River, and you can earn a few taels of silver by selling a few pieces of silk." ”

My brother and brother are affectionate, and I haven't seen her call in previous years. For example, the spring ice is thin, but it is not just Wen Yan.

Everyone really didn't want to pay attention to her, but when they came to the door, they were guests, so they had to say a few perfunctory words, Li smiled and didn't know how to answer, but Xue Jiao said: "Mother, the food is cold, I'm hungry." ”

Li went to the pot house to serve the broth, and Xue Jiao went with her and sprinkled a handful of chives: "Mother, don't pay attention to her, she is not well-intentioned." Li picked up the pot and went out: "I only came to the door when she was full." ”。

Today, five people went to the room to eat, Qi An Muxiu went to Han's house, Chen Xueru took the broth and put five bowls on the table. The Li family and the children did not take Wen Yan as a guest, and they ate around one place, and the whole family seemed to have discussed it, and no one greeted her to the table. Wen Yan sat dryly, and saw Xue Jiao carrying a large bowl of potato roasted pork ribs to Li's side, and the fragrance went straight into her nose and hooked out her gluttony.

Li sandwiched a piece of pork ribs into Qi Ping's bowl, and said to Wen Yan with a smile: "Qi Ping has a mouth now, and he doesn't want to eat without meat, so he eats this pork rib at noon, and he has to eat chicken legs at night." Qi Ping was holding the ribs with both hands and gnawing with relish, and the sound of the slippery voice penetrated into Wen Yan's ears, and he was hungry and saliva, and he couldn't hold it anymore when he heard Li say this, so he didn't say the rest of the words, and stood up awkwardly and walked away.

When they arrived at the pot house, Zhang's was stewing half a chicken, and Wen Yan lifted the lid of the pot and fished out the chicken thighs.

Zhang secretly pursed his lips, and opened his mouth to ask her: "Can you ask a ugly person?" ”

"Don't mention it, Dafang was originally pretended to be under his mother's low eyebrows, you didn't see it, such big ribs, and don't greet me, Xue Jiao is only a big child, and she wears golden beans on her ears." Wen Yan tore open the chicken thighs, ripped off the chicken skin, and picked up the most tender meat inside.

"It can be seen that it is Dafa?" Zhang also picked up a piece of chicken, "I see that I have been entering the store on the street every day these days." ”

Wen Yan finished gnawing a chicken leg, threw the chicken skin away, and the corners of the distressed Zhang's mouth twitched, and wiped his hands: "She is fine, lest we take advantage of them, and refuse to reveal the truth." ”

Zhang's then complained: "The mouth is so tight, even if there is no silver, there should be some head jewelry, the sister-in-law is stingy, we are going to the door, and the total can share how much she can go, and her family's more than ten acres of land are still on the house." ”

said that he regretted it in his heart, he knew that the man in the big house was not dead and he was still hairy, so he shouldn't have followed Mrs. Chen in the first place, and now she wants to come to the door to please me I'm afraid that people won't open a door for her. (To be continued)
