It's so warm to feel when you get home and someone is worried.

In the distance, Yun Ying saw Jia Shi leaning on crutches on the edge of the courtyard gate and kept looking in the direction of Xishan, who were Yuan Gen and Man'er beside him, not Yuan Gen and Man'er?

"Sixth sister." The two children cheered when they saw her shadow, and rushed to meet her, and as soon as they received her, Man'er came to pull the bamboo basket around her waist. "What kind of flowers did the sixth sister find today?"

Dare to love this child so excited, it's not himself! Yun Ying gently pinched Man'er's cheeks, which began to grow baby fat, and it felt really good; "Do you only know that you don't want to ask the sixth sister if you want to spend flowers?" Having said that, he quickly opened the knot fastened around his waist, allowing Man'er to successfully pick up the basket. "The flower inside is called yellow horn, and it is very fragrant to find a needle and thread to hang on your body or on the bed net."

"The sixth sister was taken care of Man'er. I taught her to read and write today, but she didn't listen, saying that she didn't learn when you weren't at home. Yuangen took the yellow horned nan sapling from Yun Ying's other hand and began to complain, this lively feeling of being needed made Yun Ying's already excited mood better.

turned to Man'er and pretended to be angry and shouted: "If Man'er is not obedient, the sixth sister will not get along with you in the future, and the sixth sister will recognize many more words than you." ”

"Sixth sister, when Aunt Jia taught you embroidery, didn't you say 'the ruler is long, and the inch is short'? Embroidery is your short, recognition is my short, okay? Man'er Xiaonizi actually learned to be coquettish, and flattered the flowers to be sent under Yunying's nose: "Sixth sister, the smell of this flower is better than that of gardenias." ”

Of course. The gardenia is too rich, and the osmanthus is too light, only this yellow horn is not thick or light, and the swelling and itching effect of soaking wine with yellow horn is good, even if the road is too far, Yun Yingming'er is planning to go again, and I don't know if that Lixia will wait for her over there.

"Yun Ying is far away today, right?" Jia Shi looked at the three sisters and brothers who were talking and laughing, and noticed Yun Ying's tired breath, as well as the red marks on her face and hands that were scratched by thorns on the branches, and her face was slightly gloomy: "The work can't be done in a while. Stay and wait for Ping'er Xiu Mu to come back and do it together. ”

"Got it. Mother. At Jia's request, Yun Ying also changed her words to Jia's.

Jia Shi listened to this sweet "mother", no matter how many numbers fell, he couldn't say anything, so he had to turn around and enter the door: "I also stewed bone broth today." The water is still hot in the small pot. Take a warm bath to get rid of fatigue. Then the meal will begin. ”

Yun Ying put down his tools. I went back to the room and found the new clothes that Jia had just made for her and entered the west utility room, where there was a wooden bucket filled with most of the clean and cold water. I don't know who is so kind.

"Sixth sister, it was me and the seventh brother who went to the river to carry the water for you, and didn't touch the water in the water tank at home." Man'er stretched out her head in the utility room to explain Yunying's confusion. The Guan family and the Qiao Mutou family did not have a well, so they all relied on carrying water from the river, and Guan Pingruo's main job was to fill the two large tanks in the stove and the yard with water. In case of rain, it is better, and the big tank in the courtyard can be ignored, but the weather has not seen a drop of rain for almost two months, and the fruits and vegetables in the courtyard have to be moistened by the stone tank in the courtyard to grow so lush.

Dinner was served in the courtyard, the sun was setting, the courtyard was sprinkled with a layer of water and cool, a breeze blew, and the tall and short branches of the mud in the courtyard were divided into eight pieces, and the simple taste of the mixture of earth and plants was intoxicating.

On the table, vegetarian fried pumpkin shreds, cold tofu, crispy pickled red peppers, three vegetarian dishes with multigrain porridge and sorghum bread buns, both in appearance and taste, make people have a great appetite; The four of them had just taken their seats, ready to start after Jia's "eat".

At this time, there was a sinister greeting from outside the door: "Yuangen, Man'er, are you there?" Listening to the voice, Yun Ying knew that it was Gu Banniang who had found it.

Yuangen quickly got up from the stool, opened the courtyard door of the Guan family, looked at Gu Banniang who was standing with her waist at the door, and replied: "We are here, is the family meal ready?" After that, he turned his head and called Man'er and said, "Man'er, Aunt Gu told us to go home for dinner." ”

"Oh." Man'er pouted slightly in front of Yun Ying, reluctantly touched the sorghum bun, and got off the stool.

"It's not. Your father won't be back until a while, and the family hasn't started cooking yet. Gu Banniang turned around, bypassed the distant roots guarding the door, and walked into the house step by step, not forgetting to curiously look at the vegetables and fruits growing on both sides of the path along the way;" After moving here to be a neighbor for so long, I haven't officially come to meet Sister Jia; Now that I have become a family, I have to move around a lot. ”

With that, Gu Banniang walked to the dining table, sat on the seat of Yuangen just now, her eyes quickly swept around the table, and her disappointment flashed: "Disturbed Sister Jia's dinner?" It's all our two children who are not sensible, how can they eat and drink like this at the house of my sister who has already married? Since Yun Ying moved away, she hasn't eaten a single meal, nor has she been stained with one-star oily meat, but Yuangen and Man'er often go home with a round little belly and a mouthful of oil, so that what they get from eating is always the sentence: "I have eaten at the sixth sister's house." ”

Thinking of the pig that Yunying could get home from time to time when Yunying helped Jia's work before, Gu Banniang, who was pregnant, was greedy!

Only then did he take advantage of Qiao Mutou's absence at home to "investigate" the Guan family under the banner of looking for the two children, but he came, and he also saw the dinner that the people on the table were preparing to eat: a plate of stir-fried vegetables that I couldn't tell what it was, a plate of dried tofu with the lowest price, and a plate of slender red fruits, and only a few grains of white rice were seen in the porridge of the Qing Kejian people next to it, and the rest was not a mixture of corn and millet rice, and there were a few cakes piled up in the big bowl, and at a glance I knew that it was made of sorghum, and it was not as good as the thick noodles made of cakes at her house. I couldn't help but be disappointed.

Jia Shi knew what she was thinking just by looking at her expression, her expression was still faint, but her eyes were not warm: "Sister Gu came just in time, and the two children are quite obedient in our family." You are pregnant, and my daughter-in-law, as the sister of Yuangen and Man'er, should help take care of one or two. ”

"Aunt Gu is here to ask Yuangen and Man'er to go back and help you do things, right? In that case, I won't stay longer. Yun Ying couldn't help frowning when she saw Gu Banniang holding her waist with one hand, she was only less than three months pregnant. Even if you are pregnant with triplets, you don't have to hold your stomach all the time.

Yun Ying gave an eviction order, and Yuangen, who had a tacit understanding with her, immediately cooperated and called Gu Banniang and said, "Aunt Gu, let's go back, please tell me and Man'er to do anything." ”

Not eating a dinner is nothing to the two children, after all, the Li family village just saw that the Guan family had three meals a day, and the brothers and sisters who had eaten bone broth bibimbap at noon naturally would not be hungry, but since Gu Banniang came to call people, why should the brothers and sisters save for her?

"Oh, the eldest sister has nothing to bring with her when she comes to our house for the first time, so it's better to bring a few of these sorghum buns back to eat; Boil a pot of porridge. Wouldn't it be perfect to make two vegetarian dishes? Jia Shi motioned for Yun Ying to hand the big bowl of steamed buns to Yuan Gen. Yuangen, this bowl will be used by Aunt Jia in a hurry tomorrow morning, you remember to bring it to me in the morning. ”

Yuangen and Man'er held hands and put on a posture of leaving at any time, but Gu Banniang still didn't move. He cleared his throat under the emotionless stares of Jia Shi and Yun Ying. Said the second purpose of today's visit. "Yunying, you see that my body is inconvenient now, and Man'er has always been used to you not learning to cook. Can you ...... tonight?"

"I can't!" Jia really looked down on Gu Banniang's coy appearance. Before she married Guan Ping's father, she was still a daughter who hugged her before she got married, and when she came to this rural place, she faded away from the gorgeous, became an ordinary country woman, and learned everything that a country woman should know. It doesn't make sense, Gu Banniang was originally a village woman, and she could become a daughter when she was pregnant with a child.

Thinking of this, Jia Shi deliberately glanced at the empty bowl in front of him, and turned to Yun Ying's face was dark and gloomy, "Since you have entered the door of my closed house, you have to look a little longer, don't you know how to give your mother-in-law a dish?" ”

Gu Banniang's face changed, although she didn't believe that the Jia family would treat Yun Ying like this, she had to say goodbye with a stiff smile.

As soon as the three of them walked on the front foot, Jia Shi asked Yun Ying to sit down: "Hurry up and go back after dinner, after all, it's your father and younger brothers and sisters, you can't leave it alone." ”

To be honest, Yun Ying's head is relatively simple, and when something unexpected happens like this, her reaction is generally half a beat slower. Jia Shi put up a shelf with her mother-in-law to prevent her from leaving, and urged her to leave quickly, but she couldn't react to why she changed so quickly?

"Girl," Seeing Yun Ying's dazed and incomprehensible expression, a crack appeared on Jia's serious face, and he sighed softly: "Usually I see that you do things in an orderly manner, and you can do everything you can do when you sell yourself, how can you be stupid when you meet these people?" ”

Yun Ying hooked the corners of her mouth, what kind of people are sophisticated? That home, she really felt cold when she thought about it, why did she have to go back to suffer when she finally got rid of it?

"If you don't go back to help cook, do you think your Aunt Gu will do it herself?" Jia Shi added vegetables to Yun Ying and motioned for her to eat quickly, while continuing to teach: "You also know that it is not necessarily, right? Maybe if you get angry here, you will have to sprinkle it on Man'er when you turn around; Yuangen is a boy, and she won't suffer much for the time being until she gives birth to a son, but Man'er is different; Are you willing to let her suffer and suffer, and you will be remembered by your foolish father when you turn around? ”

Yun Ying's face changed, why didn't she think of this for a while, she pushed open the bowl and was about to hurry after it, but was pressed by the back of Jia's hand: "If you care, you will be chaotic." If you go back immediately, she thinks I'm relieved, so why don't you wait a little longer and watch your dad come home sooner. After all, if you don't have a handle with your children so close, it won't be good to be talked about in the future. Let Man'er suffer a little for the time being, and I'll teach her tomorrow. ”

Jia Shi knows the power of gossip and doesn't want Yun Ying to be criticized, but he also doesn't want Gu Banniang to be too proud, but now Man'er and Yuangen are still Qiao's family, not only Yun Ying can't bear to suffer the two, but she also doesn't feel at ease. (To be continued......)
