Chapter 31: Warmth
The lotus wiped her tears here, and Chen Chunhua was not busy, so she sat down together, patted her hands, and said a few words of relief.
"Lotus, I can't complain about you" Chen Chunhua didn't know how to say it, how to say it was a poke wound, besides, in modern divorce is divorce, put it aside, those words can't be said, and it is against women's morality to spread it.
"Alas, sister-in-law, I know!" Lotus wiped her tears, held Chen Chunhua's hand, and said. "Sister-in-law, you see that I didn't bring anything with me, if I don't dislike it, I'm going to come over to visit the door!"
Chen Chunhua said with a smile on her face. "If you don't dislike it, you can come and do it!" Seeing that the lotus flower has been abandoned, and there is still the mind to visit the door, there is no difficulty in the heart.
"Sister-in-law, I have to go back to the house, otherwise my mother will have to come to find me!" After Lotus finished speaking, she stood up and walked out. Chen Chunhua stood at the door and said a slow word, and did not go out to send it again.
In the two days that Lotus returned to her parents' house, every household in the village knew about her being abandoned by her husband's family. Looking at this, it also increased the business in Aunt Dog's house, and the idle woman went to chatter and visit the door, but she had to buy a tofu and take a look.
Whether it's to buy tofu or watch the excitement, I don't know.
This lotus came back to Chen Chunhua's house, and the sharp-eyed people all looked at it, and there were many mouths in the village, and everyone said their own things, but they didn't dare to say it in front of Aunt Gouzi.
It has been several days since the boss came back from the mountain, and Chen Chunhua went from field to field to find Tanabe chrysanthemum, and the medicine was also changed diligently. No, the boss couldn't lie down on the kang, and Chen Chunhua just changed the medicine for him, so he was in a hurry to get off the kang.
"Big brother, what are you doing on the kang, there's nothing to do in the house, you rest!" The boss's thoughts, Chen Chunhua saw it in his eyes, knowing that he was not happy in his heart, seeing that the second and third children were all out of the gang to work, lying on the kang by themselves, what was the taste in his heart.
"Daughter-in-law, don't worry about me, you covered me with this thing, the wounds are all gone, and I'm still lying down, but I'm going to be wasted!" Seeing that the boss insisted on getting off the kang, Chen Chunhua stopped him and helped him to sit in the hall.
The boss also knows that his daughter-in-law has been a little abnormal these days, and his heart is like a mirror. But there are some things that he can't say. They are all next-door neighbors, and they can't be embarrassed for this unnecessary thing.
The third child said that he had been busy working for two days, and it had been six or seven days now, and he hadn't come back yet. Instead, people brought a message back, and it is estimated that they will be busy until the end of the year.
The lotus didn't come today, but she came once yesterday, stayed for a while, and went back after chatting with Chen Chunhua. Chen Chunhua is also provincial, and when the lotus comes, she is very unhappy.
"Big brother, don't be busy, sit in the house, and go to the back room when you're tired." Chen Chunhua gave an explanation to the boss, and then took a pot of clothes and prepared to go to the river.
"Daughter-in-law, don't be busy, put your clothes on hold, wait for the second child to come back, he will wash it, the water in the river is very cold!" The boss saw Chen Chunhua coming out, jumped to the door, and shouted at Chen Chunhua.
Chen Chunhua shook her head. "How can I freeze my hands when I wash my clothes, but my second brother won't freeze my hands when I wash my clothes? Big brother, sit in the house, don't come out! ”
After listening to Chen Chunhua's words, the boss had no choice but to give up. The daughter-in-law has a good temperament and is diligent, and he listens to others say these things outside.
Chen Chunhua carried the wooden basin to the river, and a woman was washing things by the river, and when she saw Chen Chunhua coming, she said to her. "Girl, laundry!"
Chen Chunhua took a look, this was not one of the two sisters-in-law she met last time. "Sister-in-law, what are you busy doing!"
"Hey, isn't it almost past the New Year's Pass, everything in this house has been cleaned up!"
"Alas!" There is no laundry detergent or anything here, just knock it clean with a mallet and rub it with both hands. The wind was strong by the river, and Chen Chunhua put his hands on the water, but the water was cold to the bones.
"It's cold, why don't you wash it on the side of the well!" The eldest sister-in-law looked at Chen Chunhua's appearance and said with a smile. "My sister is afraid of the cold, it's hard to live this day, but I have nothing to do with a baby, you have to pay attention."
"It's nothing, it's not so cold after a while!" Chen Chunhua rubbed her hands, sighed, gritted her teeth, and got busy.
Looking at Chen Chunhua's sharpness, the sister-in-law didn't tease her anymore.
Chen Chunhua, whether it is modern or here, is not a pampered master. The clothes were almost washed, and the sister-in-law's belongings were also washed, and they were all laid out by the river, all of which were nothing more than tables and cauldrons in the house.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law has set a matter for you!" The eldest sister-in-law was busy, wiped her hands, walked to Chen Chunhua's side, squatted and looked at her. "This little year, it's my turn to gather in the house, put it on that day, and leave me more tofu."
"Cheng, I don't know how much my sister-in-law wants?" Chen Chunhua was busy and looked at her sister-in-law.
"It's not much, just leave me twenty yuan!"
"Cheng, I remember!"
"Alas, then thank you sister, my sister is not very old, her hands and feet are nimble, but you can pay more attention, this is very cold, don't be like a lotus."
When it came to lotus, Chen Chunhua stopped her movements and looked at her sister-in-law. "How?"
"Hey, I'm not honest, yesterday I took the baby to Xiaolang to take a look, and I met Aunt Dog and Lotus on the way, and I gave two mouths, but it wasn't because of this."
"yes, I see." Chen Chunhua hadn't thought about this, she hadn't had a few rounds with them, where could she think so long-term.
The eldest sister-in-law said a few words to Chen Chunhua, and after leaving, Chen Chunhua also finished washing her clothes, and as soon as she stood up, her eyes turned black.
Chen Chunhua was scared in her heart, and hurriedly fell back. After calming down on the ground for a while, he slowly stood up, fortunately not plunged headlong into the river.
She didn't just know about this little physical problem. Because of the long-term lack of nutrition, it is natural that the anemia is also severe.
Not to mention that she made up for herself, there was not a single or two dollars in the house.
Chen Chunhua pondered, this is the New Year, should I get some dried tofu. You can't think about it, and when you think about it, you want to do it.
After drying the clothes, Chen Chunhua didn't stop, returned to the house to grind the soybeans, opened the lid and saw that the soybeans were ready, she only grinded half of them, and half of them didn't move. Don't think about it, it's done for the boss.
Chen Chunhua didn't look at the boss in the hall, and when she entered the inner room, she saw that the boss was sweeping the ashes with a feather duster. Seeing Chen Chunhua come in, he said. "Daughter-in-law, it's not cold, the water is warm in the pot, scoop it out to warm your hands."
"Alas!" This is the advantage of having a man in the family, I used to live with Sister Chen, and the two of them depend on each other. Now she suddenly understands why there are men and women in the world.
Looking at the boss's broad back, Chen Chunhua's eyes were slightly red, hugged him, and rubbed on his back. The original coolness on the body, with this stove, quickly warmed up.
