139 Fairy Tales

"That's a good thing to say," Li Yuzhen's face turned a few times when she heard Xiao Shi's words, and her voice lowered, but she still muttered angrily, "That old third cannon is not a good stubble, her aunt sent you here, and she wants to hit someone's door? This matter can be done with a beating? Can you stay here for a lifetime? If people are really high enough to be there, we still have to pay for it?"

"Mother," Uncle Guo Bowen saw that Li Yuzhen's heart was loosened, hurried over, and whispered, "Mother, don't worry, listen to me,......"

The uncle whispered that his sister and brother-in-law happily took out 800 yuan, and he was worried that the third cannon would be playing tricks, so he sent his nephew and quasi-nephew and son-in-law to talk about the matter of coming over to help in detail, and Li Yuzhen's face eased.

Although the figure of 800 wen is less than what their family needs, plus they have those hundreds of wen on hand, they should be able to plug the hole on the side of the old third cannon.

After she Li Yuzhen sprinkled harsh words in Songpo Tun that day, the eldest sister who had never disobeyed her intentions was determined this time, and she made a marriage to Hua Yatou and the little stone so quickly, and she didn't come to invite the two of them to go to the wedding wine, and even the children didn't send them to the door to say a word.

This made Li Yuzhen's heart beat a drum, according to the eldest sister's behavior this time, she was determined to break off contact with her mother's family, if that is the case, where can they go to fight the autumn breeze in the future? Not to mention, she owes the old third cannon this sum in front of her, where will she make the cash? That old third cannon is not a good man and a woman, if he knows that it is no fun to marry the daughter of the Lan family, he may not be able to make trouble? If he really wants to make trouble, she Li Yuzhen is afraid to die.

Actually, Li Yuzhen didn't figure it out, in addition to pinching Guo Bowen, she also continued to hold Guo Boshu, when the two sisters and brothers were pinched around as soft persimmons, who else could she handle?

Although Li Yuzhen didn't think clearly, the Lan family didn't ask to come to her as she hoped, but she began to panic in her heart, Guo Boshu was ruthless and hung her like this, she really couldn't get over this level in front of her.

Therefore, when Guo Bowen proposed to go to Songpotun in the morning, she uncharacteristically did not acquiesce noisily, and when things came to this point, she still had to count on Guo Boshu to give her this money, I heard that their family has been selling radish strips recently, and they should have plenty of money on hand.

It's just that this time it can be regarded as more or less subduing herself and begging to go to the door, which makes Li Yuzhen, who has always said everything in front of the Guo family's sisters and brothers, still a little unhappy, because when Guo Bowen didn't go home for a long time, she only had a tantrum with Mu Ne's daughter pointing at Sang and scolding Huai.

When Guo Bowen came back with his nephew Dashan and his prospective nephew and son-in-law, Li Yuzhen couldn't help but stab a few words in the face of the son-in-law selected by Guo Boshu.

However, when Guo Bowen said in detail that this time he and his sister's family contributed money and efforts to help them, thinking of the old third cannon that frightened her, she still temporarily suppressed her bitterness and reluctantly put on a good face.

"Come inside, it's cold outside. Li Yuzhen said, turned around and went straight back to the back room.

When Li Yuzhen said this, Guo Bowen's hanging heart finally relaxed, and he hurriedly greeted warmly, "Go, go, let's hurry up and enter the house, don't stand at the door in the cold." ”

An unpleasant meeting finally didn't quarrel, and Xiao Shi was secretly glad that a warm smile appeared on his face. Dashan was dissatisfied with his uncle's cowardice, and he didn't answer angrily, and walked into the courtyard a few steps, but before he could reach the back room, he was pulled by a pair of cold little hands.

Caught coldly, Dashan was stunned, leaned down, and after seeing that it was his uncle's third daughter, his face eased slightly, and he said in a soft tone as much as possible, "It's Liya, don't cry outside on a cold day, go into the house with Brother Dashan." ”

Liya, who was four or five years old, did not let go of her hand, but raised her head timidly, looking at the food box in Dashan's hand, and her little face with tears flashed with hope.

Dashan's heart softened, so he simply squatted down, stroked the little girl's head, and asked gently, "Liya hasn't eaten yet?" Aunt asked Brother Dashan to bring you braised pork, radish strips, and delicious lotus root tongs, let's go back to the house to eat." ”

"Brother Dashan, it's so good, and so is my aunt. The little girl smiled at the cold night breeze and said in a clear and innocent childish voice.

As soon as the little girl's words fell, there was a 'clang' sound in the inner room, and I don't know what Li Yuzhen smashed angrily.

Dashan's mood suddenly improved, he simply picked up the little girl, and said in a raised voice, "Let's have a conscience and know how to divide it! ”

Saying this, Dashan carried food in one hand and Li Yatou in the other, walked into the back room, and went directly to the stove of their house.

At this time, Uncle Guo Bowen also followed in, and he greeted loudly, "Big girl, big girl, hurry up and take Chai He, hot meal, your big brother has been busy for a day, let him rest." ”

"Hey, I see. ”

A little girl's voice answered with joy, and she ran over.

Dashan knew that this eldest girl was the eldest daughter of her uncle's family, and she was ten years old after the New Year, and she was usually supported by her father and mother to cook on the fire, and now the meals he brought were ready-made, as long as it was hot, he no longer insisted, he put down the food, and stood aside with Liya in his arms.

Li Yuzhen heard and listened to the conversation outside, and came out with another cotton curtain, muttering in her mouth, "How can there be such a relatives, if you don't give you food, you will rush back,......"

"Isn't it that I'm afraid that you're in a hurry to wait at home," the uncle hurriedly explained with a smiling face, "The eldest sister has brought a little food, it's good to be hot, it's good to be hot." ”

"What's hot?!" Li Yuzhen suddenly turned her head and said loudly, "I'll eat all the meat now, what will you eat for the New Year? I'll cook for you! I'm just a hard worker, serving the big ones and the small ones, and I can't get a word out of it!"

As she spoke, Li Yuzhen carried the food box that Dashan had put down, and turned around and went to the back room of another room.

Dashan shook his head at Li Yuzhen's back, turned back and beckoned to Xiao Shi, "Let's go, let's go into the house and rest, after this half-day journey, my legs are sore." ”

"Yes, yes, yes," Uncle Guo Bowen hurriedly pulled Xiaoshi's arm, "Let's rest and let your aunt cook." ”

Xiaoshi followed Dashan and Guo Bowen into the back room, and waited for half an hour before Li Yuzhen brought a big bowl of vegetables to the table, and at first glance it was the leftovers they brought from Dashan, which contained potatoes, cabbage, etc., but even a little braised pork, pig's head meat, and even a little tofu were missing. The radish strips and lotus root tongs are nowhere to be seen.

Uncle Guo Bowen's face was scornful, Dashan rolled his eyes, shook his head at the small stone, and said in a tone that he had expected a long time ago, "No wonder it has been so long, I guess I turned over those dishes and picked them out little by little." ”

Xiao Shi smiled indifferently, "We ate so much meat at noon, we should eat lighter at night." ”

"It's still the nephew and son-in-law who understand the matter," Li Yuzhen came in with a few rice bowls and said loudly, "It's the first time you come to the door, how can you eat leftovers, I just cooked a new meal for you." Come, eat it while it's hot. ”

Li Yuzhen spoke, put the rice bowls in her hands on the dining table one by one, and she sat down on the side.

As expected, the rice bowl was full of corn kernel rice, and Li Yuzhen put away all the pure white rice they brought.

Xiao Shi saw Dashan's expression of displeasure, and without waiting for him to speak, he immediately rushed to say, "It's still my aunt's heart, let's thank my aunt, isn't it, Brother Dashan?"

As he spoke, his hand pulled Dashan's arm under the cover of the dining table, signaling him not to say anything too much, so as not to make the atmosphere stiff and things would not end well.
