015 Father marries stepmother
Yun Ying took advantage of the gap between the two of them in the stove room and ran back to her house. The house was cleaned by arbors, and he and Gu's side looked neat and clean, but they looked a little like a new house.
On the other hand, in the corner surrounded by sorghum stalks, there was a pile of clothes and cloth stuffed under a crumbling small bed, those were the clothes that Yunying's dead mother and several sisters had worn and left, if there was no accident, these were also what Yunying would wear for the next three years, and then they would be left to Man'er.
The black and brown mass on the small bed trembled slightly, as if someone was hiding under a burlap quilt with many heavy patches, Yun Ying sighed slightly, stepped forward and lifted the quilt, Man'er and Yuangen were hugging each other and shedding tears, but they bit their lipes and didn't cry.
"Yuangen, Man'er, don't cry, go out and play with the sixth sister." She didn't ask what the two of them were crying about, Luo could be alarmist in front of her, wouldn't anyone say anything to the two children? Man'er is a little sluggish, but Yuangen is clever, otherwise he wouldn't have dried up his tears and cried without much fanfare.
It's just that the newcomer entered the door today, if he noticed the two little ones crying like this, wouldn't the life of the three sisters and brothers be even more sad.
"Don't go...... Hiccups ......, and the distant roots don't go out at home. Engen said firmly, with a hiccup.
"Man'er won't go out either." Man'er took the meaning of Yuangen as the meaning, and also clearly expressed that he didn't want to go out to join in the fun.
At this time, the children in the three yards of the Qiao family gathered in the dam shared by the three families at the door to play, waiting for the ox cart to turn, and the new daughter-in-law on the ox cart would sprinkle some happy fruits, although it was nothing more than a few peanuts and chestnuts dyed red, but the attraction for the children was also leveraged.
Yun Ying looked at the red and swollen eyes of the two of them and stopped talking about the door, got up and listened to the movement of the stove room, only Luo Shi was muttering something over there. A half-arm-high bamboo tube was pulled out from under the bed, and quietly walked out of the courtyard along the base of the wall.
Outside the gate of the courtyard is the dam shared by the three families, at this time a square table was placed near the village road in the dam, which was burned with the fragrant wax that the Yang family asked her daughter to take home. Xiao Li and sister-in-law Qiao Erni, the eldest aunt, the third aunt, and the women of these two families are all sitting on a stone bench on the side, waiting to see what the new daughter-in-law looks like? It's no wonder that Roche, who was left alone at home to wash and wash, became irritable and became that virtue.
Yun Ying quickly filled a bamboo tube of water in a large wooden barrel by the well, and kept going back to the room at her feet, waiting for Yuangen and Man'er to compress their eyes with well water, wash their hands and faces, and listen to the noise outside mixed with a few firecrackers. Can the Qiao family, which is full of wonders, be able to support the arbor and support this small family?
"Yuanfen, Yuanfen!" Luo also listened to the noise outside, and felt as uncomfortable as a cat scratching, at noon, there were several tables of men and women, why should she be arranged to wash and wash alone?
"Yuanfen, you are a sixteen-year-old girl, you want to discuss marriage, you can't join in the fun. What if you get touched by those dirty boys! Come here and cut these turnips. Today's day is special, she didn't continue to call Yunying, in order to watch the excitement, she had to sacrifice her own daughter.
Qiao Yuanfen's footsteps when he ran to the door had to stop, thinking that Qiao Yuanfang was still in the east room with the embroidered wedding dress, so he had to pouted and entered the stove room.
After Luo Shi came out of the door of the stove room, he suddenly remembered something, glanced at the empty courtyard, turned around and told Qiao Yuanfen: "Later, your father and your uncle will definitely use this knife to cut it when they come back with meat and vegetables, you have to guard it for me, when washing the knife, first use the bowl of water under the cabinet to flush, and I will cook you a bowl of broth to drink another day!" ”
Yun Ying, who heard this, was completely petrified. The knife that Li asked Roche to wash and cut meat in the water in which the radish was boiled was already superb enough, and now Roche is even more desperate, and he can make broth with a bowl of washing knives in water?
But then she thought that the standard of living was completely different from the world she had been before, and that she could have a bowl of soup with oil splashes to drink, and she had a tendency to salivate when she thought about it.
"You heard?" Luo turned around and saw Yun Ying standing at the gate of the courtyard holding a small one in one hand, and he must have heard what she said at such a close distance.
"Second uncle, if you take the meat cutting knife to the well and wash it, won't the broth be able to drink for a long time?" Yun Ying thought of the joke she had heard when she was a child, and suggested something in mind.
Unexpectedly, Luo's eyes lit up, as if he thought that this idea was not bad, and then his face collapsed again: "Dead cauliflower, don't think that the old lady doesn't know you, you want to share the broth from the old lady to drink, don't think about it!" She still thinks that the name "cauliflower" is smooth and cheap.
Yun Ying was completely convinced, pulled her younger siblings and walked out of the courtyard door quickly, and saw a red and slender figure standing in front of the square table under the guidance of a woman a few years younger than the Li family; Gan carried a big red crested rooster in his hand and circled around the two of them, and when the circle was full, he turned around and walked back, in short, he didn't always turn clockwise; The blood on the chicken's neck dripped to the ground as the rooster struggled; After three laps, the square table was already red.
When she got closer, Yun Ying recognized that the woman who was younger than the Li family was her eldest mother-in-law, Yue, that is, the Li family's sister-in-law, but she could only be regarded as one of the Li family's sisters-in-law. The reason why Qiao Baisheng followed Qiao Chengyin instead of his eldest son Qiao Chengjin naturally had a reason. Qiao Chengjin is two years older than Qiao Chengyin, marrying a wife Du, this Du family has been in the Qiao family for more than ten years, and gave birth to three daughters in succession, which is simply an unforgivable felony in the eyes of the patriarchal Qiao Baisheng, and the day after the eldest daughter of the Du family got married, Qiao Baisheng made the decision to let Qiao Chengjin take a leave of absence from the Du family.
At that time, Qiao Baisheng was still full of ambition to prepare for the Xiucai exam, and his words were not hesitant to the holy decree of the Qiao family. After the Du family was retired, Qiao Chengjin hired the current Yue family, this Yue family gave birth to a son in the second year of entering the door, the Yue family was born in Yuejiawan, which is relatively wealthy in the hundred family collections, and added a male to Qiao Chengjin in one fell swoop, in the Qiao family, she is also a master who can walk sideways, and the Li family is on par.
The woman she was holding was Yun Ying's bride Gu Banniang. Medium stature, wearing a bright red short jacket with a long red skirt underneath, her figure is convex and backward and does not look like the bloated and old woman of twenty-eight or nineteen years old in Lijiacun's impression in Yunying's impression, she has a bun on her head, and a silver plum hairpin on it. With light makeup on her face, white skin, red goose face, thin eyebrows, and phoenix eyes with single eyelids, she is a handsome little lady.
