Chapter 2 Sharpening the Knife
Father-in-law Gao Gensheng was sitting on the threshold and clicking on the cigarette pouch, knocked on the cigarette pouch pole and got up, entered the house and picked up the kitchen knife brought by Li Yunjiao, sat on the edge of the whetstone in the yard and began to sharpen the knife.
"Mother, you see, although our three rooms are divided into separate rooms, we can't write two high characters in one stroke, Brother Xing Erlan and Sister Lan are also your own grandsons, so ......"
Old Xue's eyelids jumped suddenly, and he looked at Li Yunjiao, and his whole face was about to wrinkle together.
"So what? Li, what the hell are you doing today, just say it, don't beat around the bush. ”
The little old lady's whole face was full of displeasure, and Li Yunjiao wanted to laugh silently.
"Then I'll make it clear to my mother, a few days ago, my mother, my sister-in-law and my third brother and sister asked me to borrow the grain, when do you think it will be returned? There is no rice at home, and the children are hungry and waiting for food. ”
"What?"
Xue almost didn't get angry when she heard it, where did she go to borrow food that day? It's obviously ......
I really can't say that.
"Mother, look at you, I haven't finished my words yet, don't worry." Li Yunjiao looked at the place where the old man sharpened his knife outside the window, and her words were clearly full of coercion, the soft ones were afraid of the hard, and the hard ones were afraid of not dying.
The rabbit is in a hurry and bites.
"Also! Pay it back now. ”
Lao Xue gritted his teeth, hated the back molars only itching, and forced out a sentence from between his teeth, beckoning the eldest daughter-in-law to bring back the rice and grain snatched from the third child's house to Li Yunjiao.
Li Yunjiao led the happy people to carry half a bag of grain back, and before leaving, they didn't forget to let Brother Xing'er carry the kitchen knife.
I only have a knife at home, so I have to keep it!
……
"Mother! Just let Li take the grain back? Xing was unwilling, and the things he got flew like this!
Old Xue was also unwilling, but could she say that she was frightened by the woman of the Li family? That's a shame.
"The third child is also my son, and in the final analysis, the third room is also the descendants of the Gao family...... Okay, I'll talk about that later. "I'm afraid of losing face if I say it.
The old man took two puffs of cigarette pouches and said, "In the future, the matter of the three rooms will be less involved."
He could see that the woman of the Li family had become different, at least it was no longer something that the old Xue family could easily handle.
The people in the old house were all dull and silent, but Li Yunjiao's mother and son, who won the first battle, looked happy.
When the two returned home, they found Gao Lan'er and Xiaobao sitting in the yard with a restrained expression.
"Sister Lan, Bao'er, why are you sitting in the yard?"
happily put down the grain that he had carried all the way, looked at Gao Lan'er and asked.
"Mother, big brother, dad is back!"
Xiaobao ran to Li Yunjiao's legs and grabbed the corner of Li Yunjiao's clothes: "Mother, mother!" You woke up, Xiaobao was scared to death, where did my mother go, Xiaobao didn't see my mother when I woke up. ”
"Little treasure." Gao Bao is just seven years old this year, and Li Yunjiao, who had no children until death in her previous life, saw the soft and glutinous little doll, just as high as her waist, and her heart softened.
"Squeak!"
The door was pushed open, and a tall black burly man bent down from the room, the corners of his mouth were pursed into a line, and his eyes looked at Li Yunjiao like a torch.
"Lan'er said you took Xing'er to the old house?"
Li Yunjiao recognized this person as her current cheap husband, and couldn't see what he meant, Li Yunjiao thought to herself, if she was still compatible, it would not be impossible to continue with this person.
If this man is a rotten wood that cannot be carved, then she will simply take the child and leave him!
"Yes."
Li Yunjiao nodded, and met the other party's tentative gaze without fear.
Gao Dashan suddenly felt that his wife seemed to have changed.
In the past, Li was a shy and introverted person, even if the two of them had three children after so many years, Li never dared to look at him.
"Go back to the house and rest, thank you for your hard work."
What kind of character is his mother, Gao Dashan naturally knows very well, what may be the way, a filial piety is bigger than the sky.
After all, it is the one who gives birth to himself, and it is not easy for him to marry a wife and have children.
also knows that the Li family has suffered a lot of grievances in the past few years, but he is stupid and can't coax people, so he can only try to protect this family.
Gao Dashan stepped forward and carried the food brought back by Li Yunjiao and Xingxing back to the kitchen, Li Yunjiao watched quietly, secretly satisfied.
"You...... Okay? ”
After returning to the house, Gao Dashan held back a sentence coldly, and it took a while for Li Yunjiao to understand that this was asking her about her previous injuries.
"It's okay, it's all right."
Gao Dashan nodded, and then began to rummage through the cabinets, and finally took out a small wooden box in a pit under the bed.
The corners of Li Yunjiao's mouth twitched, she didn't remember in her memory, there was still such a thing hidden at home!
"My mother is old, and if she likes to make trouble, she will go with her, even if the thunder is heavy and the rain is small, I have worked hard for you all these years, I know it." After speaking, Gao Dashan opened the wooden box, and Li Yunjiao was stunned.
Gao Dashan, a man who looks like five big and three thick, with a board and one eye, actually hides private money?
"This ......"
Gao Dashan blushed silently, but his skin was dark, and he couldn't see it.
"In the past few years, I have secretly saved my private money, and I will marry Xing'er in the future, and Lan'er's dowry, I am saving little by little."
In the past, he didn't tell the Li family, he only secretly saved it himself, because he was afraid that the Li family would be weak and would not be able to stand, but now she dares to carry a kitchen knife to the old house to ask for food, what else does he have to hide.
……
Gao Dashan left early in the morning of the second day, in a hurry, last night, the two of them were back to back and didn't say anything all night, Li Yunjiao was stunned and didn't close her eyes all night.
At first, Gao Dashan was still a little dishonest, his rough palm stretched out of the quilt and touched Li Yunjiao's waist, Li Yunjiao was stunned, muttered tired, wanted to sleep or something, Gao Dashan gasped heavily, and was honest again.
Li Yunjiao didn't fall asleep until the sky was about to dawn, and what was spinning in her mind was how to start from scratch and make a fortune!
Before noon, Brother Xing'er came back from picking up firewood, bumped a handful of green plums in the back basket, and brought it back to Sister Lan and Xiao Bao'er for tooth sacrifices.
Li Yunjiao looked at it and immediately took it to heart.
In his previous life, Li Yunjiao's grandfather liked to have a drink when he had nothing to do, especially ancient wine, and also collected a lot of various wine-making recipes.
Li Yunjiao intends to make wine, but I don't know if this method will work.
Just give it a try and see how it goes!
Li Yunjiao asked Brother Xing to take her there, picked the small piece of green plum fruit and brought it back in a large basket, and then sealed it with a jar with a secret method and buried it in the yard.
Let's wait and see how it turns out.
