"It's coming, the head of the house is back, who is coming?" With this cool voice came out of the main room a woman in her thirties, the woman had a round face, a slightly chubby figure, although she looked average, but with a sense of wealth, wearing a water-red long jacket, a circle of white hairless sewn on the neckline and cuffs, and a green horse-faced skirt on the lower body, looking like the wife of a big family played on TV.
The standard of living is really high enough, this poor and rich, I don't know how the cheap father Ye Changsheng is so rebellious, is it really because of the grace of saving his life?
Behind the woman came a tall boy of fifteen or sixteen, and a girl of about ten years old, who seemed to be their sons and daughters.
Li Xiaoran opened his mouth in surprise, this Ye Changsheng looked a little over thirty years old, it was incredible that he had such a big child.
When the woman saw Li Yihe's line, she said that it was fake that she was not surprised, but she had always been cool, and greeted loudly: "It turns out that Brother Yihe is here, oh brother and sister, I haven't seen you for a few days, come into the house quickly." Come on, Shu'er, go to the kettle for hot water, look at this cold day, your brother and sister are wearing so little, and they are freezing again. β
Li Yihe put down the farm tools on his shoulders, unloaded the basket on his back, and smiled honestly at the woman, "Sister-in-law, our family is disturbed during the Chinese New Year." Fu Shi also called "sister-in-law", but he didn't know what to say.
Hua is a clever person, seeing their big family with luggage and farm tools, I knew in my heart that this was probably to live, and when I saw a few children who were a little cold, I didn't ask what happened, and let him go to the house first, "Look at what Brother Yihe said, if there is no Brother Yihe, our family would not be in this situation today." Brother and sister, take the child into the house and sit down, the house is warm. β
Li Xiaoran listened to her speak cheerfully, and she was not pretentious, and she couldn't help but look up to the Ye family again, this husband and wife are both cheerful people, but they are much better than their honest fathers and mothers.
Everyone followed the Hua family into the main room, Li Yihe walked last, Li Yihai pulled him, "Second brother, I won't go in, you come here, I'll say a few words to you and I'll go back." β
"Wait for me, let's go together, I still have to send Tian Langzhong back!"
Li Yihe said and entered the main room, the room was plastered with lime walls, there were two oil lamps lit in the room, under the bright light, everyone sat down, Li Yihe: "Brother Changsheng, I will trouble you and my sister-in-law at home, just let Yu'e clean up, I will go and send Tian Langzhong back to the village first." β
Ye Tiansheng smiled heartily, "You can go with confidence." Watching Li Yihe stride out, he turned his head and said to Fu: "Brother and sister, it's like your own family here, you're welcome." Xiurong, I invite Brother Yihe to come and live at home for a while, and you can clean up the east wing. β
Hua Shi listened to the jaw: "Don't worry, take charge." Brother and sister, you husband and wife will live in the east wing, but there is a mess in that house, let's go clean up first. The children will live with my two children today, there will be no one there for a long time, even if there is a fire, I am afraid that it will not be too warm tonight. Then he instructed his children, "Zimo went to the east wing to light the fire, Shu'er went to boil hot water to make tea, get snacks, and pad your younger brothers and sisters." β
Fu Shi hurriedly gave a salute, "Thank you, sister-in-law, don't bother, we ate at home." Although she was full at the end, she didn't even use chopsticks herself, but she was embarrassed to trouble people on this big night. He also told a few children, "Xuefeng go and hold firewood with your brother Zimo to light a fire, Xuejian, you take your younger brothers and sisters, Ran'er, Si'er, you sit well in the house, don't be naughty!" β
Ye Changsheng said: "Brother and sister, don't worry, these children are all sensible. β
Fu Shi looked at Li Xiaoran and the others nodded obediently, and then followed Hua Shi to the East Wing. When the Fu family went out, there were only Ye Changsheng and his daughter Ye Zishu in the house, as well as the three brothers and sisters of the Li family.
Li Xiaoran looked at this room at this time, and there was a big kang by the south window, with a bright reed kang mat on it, which looked new. At the top of the kang is a double-layer kang cabinet made of pine wood, and the door of the lower layer is carved with flowers, birds, fish and insects, and the upper layer is carved with plum orchid bamboo chrysanthemum. On the ground to the east is a pine Eight Immortals case, which is exquisitely made and carved with exquisite patterns. Next to it is an equally wooden dresser, which has been looking for a long time, and the varnish on it has become a little dull yellow due to the turbidity of time. On the dresser, there are two Nanmu boxes, one large and one small, the small one is locked, the big one is open, and there are some rouge gouache, comb grates, and a few silver hairpins, as well as some other silver jewelry, silk flowers, etc.
On the north wall are two large wooden boxes, both of which are made of red pine wood, and the corners are wrapped with iron sheets, which look very heavy but with vicissitudes. The Eight Immortals chair with a backrest that Li Xuejian was sitting on was next to the dresser, and there were four of them. On the west side is the door in the middle, and on both sides are the hot and hot warm walls.
The economic conditions of this family are much better than those of Li Laoshi's family. Ye Changsheng hugged Li Xuesi and Li Xiaoran to the kang, took off the torn cotton jacket and shoes outside, "Go and play on the kang, it's warm on the kang." He greeted Li Xuejian again, "Xuejian also took off his kang." β
Li Xuejian shook his head, he was more sensible, and he knew that from now on, his family would send people under the fence, and he was panicking in his heart, how could he be so unruly on the kang, "Thank you, Uncle Ye, it's good for me to sit here." "I have the heart to say a few words to my younger brothers and sisters, but it can be seen that they are ignorant, and they can't bear it.
Seeing that he was a little uncomfortable, he was not the cheerful and intelligent appearance he used to be, and he sat there a little blankly, knowing that he was sensible and experienced tonight's incident, and his heart was heavy. Ye Changsheng persuaded: "Xuejian, you are a smart baby, when you arrive at Uncle Ye's house, you will be like at your own house, you're welcome." β
He was afraid that there were adults in the house and the children would be uncomfortable, so he asked his daughter to take good care of the children and went out to help.
Ye Zishu went to boil water and made tea, brought a few plates of dim sum and put them on the kang table, and said softly: "Hungry, eat quickly!" "Dad always said that thanks to Uncle Yihe who saved him, otherwise there would be her and her brother. So for Uncle Yihe's family, she and her brother have had a good impression since they were young, and when they saw that they were always underfed and clothed, they also secretly stuffed food for a few children.
Ye Zishu is only ten years old, she speaks softly and gently, although she is not very beautiful, but she is delicate and lovely, and she has the style of a small jasper. She tossed this night, she was really a little hungry, Li Xiaoran looked at a few small plates that were not coarse porcelain like her own, but small dishes of fine porcelain, which looked delicate and small, and the four small plates were filled with home-fried golden small twist flowers, steamed dumplings, a plate of white rice cakes, and a plate of mung bean cakes
