The Yuan family has three tiled houses, Yao Yun'er and Yuan Wu live in one, the middle one is a hall house, and the remaining one is reserved for Yao Jinlan's mother and daughter. Yao Yun'er made the bed, worried that it would be cold at night, so she brought a small stove to keep the children warm.

After settling her sister and child, Yao Yun'er just returned to the house, and saw that Yuan Wu didn't even cover the quilt and was lying on the bed.

Yao Yun'er leaned on Yuan Wu's strong chest, raised her little face, and saw that his eyes were still closed, and his even breathing was slow and long, if he hadn't been caught up like that, she would definitely think that he was asleep.

Yao Yun'er buried her head in his chest, listening to his heartbeat, her little face was full of contentment, and she whispered: "Xianggong, thank you for not driving the eldest sister away." ”

Yuan Wu still closed his eyes and recuperated, and when he heard this, he only slightly hooked the corners of his lips, patted the back of the little man in his arms with his big hand, and said: "Fool, she is your eldest sister, how can I drive her away?" ”

Yao Yun'er put her arms around his neck and said with a smile: "Before getting married, I heard from the people in the village that you are withdrawn and the most annoying to interact with people, but now there are three more people in the family at once, I am really afraid that you will not get used to it." ”

Yuan Wu opened his eyes at this time, looked at the delicate and lovely little lady in his arms, a pair of black eyes were blazing, and said, "Then now, do you still think I'm withdrawn?" ”

Yao Yun'er smiled, her autumn-like pupils were full of tenderness, and she said softly: "No, only I know your goodness." ”

The man's eyes moved silently, he didn't speak, he only hugged his little lady tighter, and then turned over and pressed her under him.

Yao Yun'er has been married to him for a long time, and she is no longer as embarrassed about men and women as she was when she first got married, although she is still ashamed, she is more docile and delicate.

Yuan Wu's breathing gradually became heavy, and when he was in a state of confusion, he suddenly heard the thin and weak voice of the woman under him: "Xianggong, no, eldest sister, they are ......"

Yao Yun'er remembered that there were still others at home, her palm-sized little face suddenly turned crimson, and she only stretched out her little hand to push the man on her body, her little strength naturally couldn't shake Yuan Wu at all, Yuan Wu held her little hand, put it on the mouth and kissed it, her voice was hoarse and dark, and said: "Don't worry, they can't hear it." ”

Then, regardless of her struggles, a night of affection.

Early the next morning, as soon as Yao Yun'er got up, she felt that the skeleton of her whole body was about to fall apart, and her little feet stepped on the ground, as if they were stepping on cotton, so soft that they had no strength.

As soon as she put on her clothes, she saw that the sun was not early, so she planned to go to the stove room to make breakfast, but before she could go out, Yuan Wu walked in.

"Why didn't you get up and sleep more?" The man still looked bright, and when he saw her standing there, he stepped forward and hugged her, leaned over and kissed her little face.

"Xianggong, my leg hurts......" When Yao Yun'er saw him, she couldn't help but lean on his arms, only to feel that her waist and knees were so sore that she didn't even want to walk.

When Yuan Wu heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, remembering that he did not restrain himself last night, and it was inevitable that he would hurt her, so he couldn't help but feel distressed, and tightened her body slightly, and was about to coax a few words, but saw the eldest girl leading the second girl over, standing at the door and saying timidly to them: "Auntie, my mother asked us to call you and your uncle to eat." ”

Seeing the child, Yao Yun'er was stunned, and hurriedly pulled out of the man's arms, her little face suddenly turned red, patronizing and her husband was crooked, and she actually forgot about the eldest sister and the child. hurriedly agreed, hurriedly tied his hair behind his head, and led the eldest girl and the second girl out.

Breakfast is rice porridge, with millet steamed buns, and some pickled vegetables, although it is ordinary, but the eldest girl and the second girl are not full when they are in the Wang family, these meals are still very sweet when they are eaten in the mouth.

Yuan Wu has never liked to talk when eating, and the two children naturally didn't dare to provoke him, Yao Yun'er saw that the big girl kept glancing at herself and Yuan Wu's body, so she grabbed a chopstick dish, put it in her bowl, and said softly: "Big girl, eat quickly." ”

The big girl took the bun, but looked at Yao Yun'er timidly, as if she had mustered up a lot of courage, and whispered: "Auntie, did you fight with your uncle last night?" ”

Hearing this, Yao Yun'er was a little inexplicable, but Yao Jinlan put down the chopsticks, reached out and twisted them on the eldest girl's arm, and scolded: "Children's family, where is there so much nonsense, eat your meal." ”

The eldest girl was beaten by her mother, she was very aggrieved, and she saw her mouth pouting, but she didn't dare to cry, she looked very pitiful.

Yao Yun'er couldn't bear it, took the big girl in her arms, and coaxed lightly: "What's wrong with the big girl, my aunt and uncle didn't fight." ”

The eldest girl glanced at Yuan Wu, and saw that the man was still eating silently, and he was a little bolder, and the crisp children's voice was very clear: "Auntie, when I slept last night, my sister and I heard you and your uncle's bed ringing, and my mother said, it was you and your uncle who fought......"

Yao Yun'er heard this, the little face suddenly burned, all the way to the crook of the neck, Yao Jinlan was also extremely embarrassed, pulled the big girl back, bowed her head and reprimanded a few words, she saw Yao Yun'er sitting there, so ashamed that she didn't even dare to raise her head, and Yuan Wu looked as usual, as if he had never heard of the big girl's words, still eating his steamed buns, Yao Jinlan snorted for a while, and finally said: "The child is not sensible, and the brother-in-law can go to his heart." ”

Yuan Wu glanced at her, shook his head, and said, "It's okay." After speaking, he pushed the rice porridge in front of Yao Yun'er and said in a low voice, "Okay, drink it quickly." ”

Yao Yun'er was so ashamed that she couldn't wait to run away, and when she saw that her husband had handed her the bowl of porridge for herself, she raised her eyes and glanced at him, and the meaning in her eyes seemed to say, "It's all your fault." ”

The man smiled lightly and bowed slightly, as if to say, "Yes, it's all my fault."

Yao Jinlan took all this in her eyes, only lowered her eyes silently, held the rice porridge in her hand, but sighed slightly in her heart, not only sighing her own misery, but also envying her sister's good life and marrying such a good husband.

In the evening, Yao Yun'er said that Yuan Wu was not allowed to get close, and in the end, the man had no choice but to buckle her waist and hold her firmly in his arms, after all, he didn't go any further, only hugged her and fell asleep.

Because the Chinese New Year is approaching, there are many people buying meat in the town, so Yuan Wu has been extra busy these days, and he sorted out half a fan of pork early in the morning and went to the town to do business.

It was cold in winter, and the stove had been burned in the hall, and Yao Yun'er also threw some chestnuts into the stove, and when they were roasted, they were peeled and eaten. The two sisters were at home, doing needlework and chatting about some family life, and the two little girls were playing in the house, but they were also peaceful and quiet.

Hearing the knock on the door, Yao Yun'er opened the door, and when she saw the person, she exclaimed: "Mother?!" ”

The person who came was Yao's mother.

Yao Jinlan heard the voice and also walked out of the back room, Yao's mother looked at her daughter, inevitably angry and painful, and regardless of Yao Yun'er's obstruction, she stepped forward and scuffled towards Yao Jinlan's body, while beating, she scolded: "You dead girl, you brought the child back so quietly, where do you let me and your father's face go?" ”

Yao Jinlan had already accumulated a stomach full of grievances and had nowhere to tell, but at this time, when she saw her mother beating and scolding her so indiscriminately, the tears suddenly flowed out, but she didn't hide, she cried there.

Until she learned from Yao Yun'er that the mother and son of the Wang family were about to sell the eldest girl, Yao's mother was stunned for a moment, even the muscles on her face were trembling, looking at her daughter crying on the ground, she finally stretched out her hand tremblingly, hugged Jin Lan in her arms, and wailed there.

Yao Yun'er saw that there was no way, so she persuaded her mother and eldest sister into the back room, and when she saw her granddaughter, Yao's mother's tears couldn't be stopped, and she only held the child in her arms one by one, thinking of the ruthless son-in-law and his difficult old lady, Yao's mother was also sad, and couldn't help but scold, only turning out the eighteen generations of the ancestors of the Wang family.

After scolding for a while, Yao's mother gradually fell silent, and the eldest girl and the second girl went to the yard to play with Bai Mian'er, and only Yao's mother and her two daughters were left in the house.

"Big girl, you listen to the advice of the old lady, it's not a matter for you to live here with Yun girl, it's better to take the child back." Yao's mother has a lot of thoughts, but she really can't think of any way, Yao Jinlan's appearance is mediocre, and she has suffered a lot in the Wang family over the years, she looks much older than her peers, standing with the delicate Yao Yun'er, how can she have a trace of sisterhood, I am afraid that if she is a mother and daughter, some people believe it.

With such a appearance, and with two children, even if it is a continuation for people, no one will want it, Yao's mother carefully considered it for her daughter, but she could only persuade her to take the child back, and there was really no way out.

Yao Jinlan was stunned and blurted out: "Mother, Wang Dachun and his old lady are going to sell the girl!" ”

Yao's mother waved her hand and said, "This matter is in charge, I will go back and discuss with your father, take half of the silver out, and take the rest." Speaking of this, Yao's mother turned to Yao Yun'er again, and continued, "Yun girl, our family is your best, your eldest sister is in trouble now, if you really want to help her, just like the old lady, take half of the silver out and help her family get through this difficulty, what do you think?" ”

When Yao Yun'er heard this, she felt that her mother was reasonable, and if she told Yuan Wu, she would probably not object, so she nodded immediately: "I listen to my mother." ”

Yao's mother said "um", seeing that Yao Jinlan was still standing there in a daze, she frowned and said: "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and pack up your things, no matter how good it is here, it is also Yun Yatou's house, you and your children live here, and you are not afraid of being laughed at, you can't even lift your head with me and your father, and your backbone is almost poked and bent!" ”

Yao Jinlan was told by Yao's mother that she didn't feel good, and the few days she lived in Yuan's house with her children can really be said to be the most comfortable days in her life. Yuan Wu is hardworking and capable, and can earn silver, there has always been no shortage of anything at home, even some rare things in the village, the Yuan family is also complete, plus the water and firewood in the house are all full on weekdays, the housework is handy, as for the food, there is nothing to say, every day is either meat or fish, but only a few days of work, the eldest girl and the second girl have gained weight.

As soon as she thought of the days she had spent in the Wang family, Yao Jinlan trembled in her heart, and said that she, even the children, were grinning and crying when they heard that they were going home, especially the second girl, who was holding Yao Yuner's clothes and didn't want to let go of anything.

Yao Yun'er couldn't bear to see it, so she had to tell her mother that she would keep the children for another night, and when Yuan Wu came back in the evening, she would send the eldest sister and daughter back tomorrow.

Yao's mother was also aware of it when she heard it, there was a man there, and she was relieved to walk up the mountain road, so she didn't say anything more, but said that she would come back tomorrow morning.

Sent away her mother, Yao Jinlan lost her soul, Yao Yun'er accompanied her and said some thoughtful words, until the evening, Mrs. Zhang of Wangjia Village inquired all the way to Yuan's house, and after finding Yao Jinlan, she told her that Wang Dachun was going to divorce her and marry her, and asked her to go back in a hurry.

When Yao Jinlan heard the news, her face suddenly turned pale, she was miserable, and she couldn't care about anything at the moment, so she didn't even pack her things, so she took the child and returned to Wangjia Village with Mrs. Zhang.

Yao Yun'er couldn't persuade her, and watched her eldest sister lead her two daughters stumbling back all the way, but she was faintly uneasy in her heart, looking forward to Yuan Wu coming back soon.

It is said that Wang Dachun was not clear with a widow in a neighboring village, the widow had some savings, and had always wanted to enter the gate of the Wang family, Wang Dachun had long wanted to leave Yao Jinlan, but there was no reason, and now while Yao Jinlan returned to Qinghe Village with the child, he immediately looked for a showman, and wrote a letter of resignation and handed it to Li Zheng on the grounds that Yao Jinlan did not respect her mother-in-law, had no children for many years, and committed two of the seven rules.

When Yuan Wu went home, he still saw Yao Yun'er standing at the door of the shop waiting for him, and when he saw her, the man's eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and when the little lady came up, he held Yao Yun'er's little hand, only to feel cold, his face suddenly sank, and his tone couldn't help but bring a little reprimand: "Didn't I tell you not to wait for me outside, why are you disobedient?" ”

Yao Yun'er knew that he was worried about catching a cold, but at this time, he couldn't care about anything else, so he only said anxiously: "Xianggong, just now the people from Wangjia Village came, saying that the brother-in-law was going to take a leave of absence from the eldest sister!" ”

When Yuan Wu heard this, his face was still so calm that he couldn't see anything, so he only hugged Yao Yun'er's body and said, "Go back to the house first." When she returned home, Yao Yuner was very anxious, and when she thought of her eldest sister's current situation, she was scratching her liver and feeling uncomfortable.

"Xianggong, you have to think about it, if the brother-in-law really wants to leave the eldest sister, and the eldest sister will take the child in the future, how will you live this life?"

Looking at her anxious little appearance, the man smacked slightly, walked to the table and poured a bowl of water to drink.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Yao Yun'er didn't follow, stepped forward and shook his sleeves, and there was a little grievance between her delicate eyebrows.

Yuan Wu sat down on the chair, hugged her in his arms and put her on his lap, and then said, "I think it's a good thing for your eldest sister to leave the Wang family." ”

"A good thing?" Yao Yun'er stared at her husband with astonishment, these days, if a woman is abandoned by her husband's family, but it is a big disaster, even with her mother's family will be looked down upon, how did it get to his mouth, but it became a good thing?

Seeing her sheared eyes looking at her without blinking, Yuan Wu was dumbfounded, tightened her body, and explained: "Think about what kind of life she lived in the Wang family, even with her two children suffering, it is better to live with her own children." ”

Yao Yun'er still shook her head and said, "But the eldest sister is from a woman's family, how can she support two children?" ”

"Isn't there still us?" The man's voice was low, his dark eyes were deep, but there was a faint doting between his eyebrows.

When Yao Yun'er heard this, she was stunned, as if she couldn't believe it: "Do you want the eldest sister and the child to live in our house?" ”

Yuan Wu was very helpless, pinched her face, and said: "Fool, I mean let's find a house for her, let her live with her children, and if she can help in the future, let's help more, so that she won't be unable to survive." ”

Yao Yun'er paid attention to the man's meaning, and her heart was like soaking in warm water, indescribably warm, she looked at the man in front of her, and was speechless for a long time.

"What's wrong?" Yuan Wu spoke in a low voice.

"Xianggong, why are you so good." Yao Yun'er opened her mouth gently, her voice was glutinous, which made people's hearts soft.

Yuan Wu heard this, and smiled faintly, if it wasn't for her, how could he have the heart to care about these little things.

Yao Yun'er thought for a while, and then spoke: "Xianggong, if the eldest sister comes back with the children, it is better to let them live in our house, so that you can save some silver on weekdays." ”

"No way!" The man spoke in a deep voice, and the sound was so strong and powerful that it almost startled Yao Yun'er.

"Why?"

"Why do you say?" The man raised his eyebrows, looked at the little man in his arms with deep black eyes, and looked at Yao Yun'er so red that he understood in his heart.

Yuan Wu saw her shyly turn her little face, and the soft side face fell under his eyes, which was as beautiful as a peach blossom, which made him can't help but lean down and whisper in her ear.

"You can't hide from me tonight."

When Yao Yun'er heard this, her face suddenly flushed, and she couldn't help but say angrily: "It turns out that it is because of this that you don't let the eldest sister live in our house." ”

Yuan Wu didn't speak, only smiled slightly and scratched the tip of her nose.

Yao Yun'er remembered that in the past few nights, she was sleeping with men holding her, and sometimes she noticed that the hard thing was against her, but she was afraid of being heard by the eldest sister, so she always didn't allow him to get close, so it was no wonder that he didn't want to let the eldest sister and the children live in his own house.

At that moment, she lowered her eyes, only to feel more and more ashamed, and couldn't help but bury her face in her husband's arms, a small face as bright as clouds, even more delicate.

Yuan Wu liked her so shy the most, and took her in his arms, and the two snuggled up for a long time, and the room was warm.

Early the next morning, Yao Yun'er curled up in Yuan Wu's arms and fell asleep, and as soon as Yuan Wu was about to get up, she stretched out her lotus-like arm and hugged the man's neck, just not letting him get up.

Yuan Wu saw her so pestering, he was helpless and funny at the moment, thinking that there was no work at home today, so he simply continued to hold her to sleep, and the two of them did not get up until three poles in the morning.

Yao Yun'er went to the stove room, if it was cold today, she wanted to make a pot of hot rice cake soup for the man to drink, and before the meal was ready, she heard someone outside the house shouting: "Sister! Open the door for me! ”

It was Yao Xiaoshan's voice.

Yao Yun'er hurriedly walked out of the house and went to open the door for Yao Xiaoshan, and saw the little brother standing there breathlessly, in the middle of winter, a layer of sweat ran out of his forehead.

"Sister, the eldest sister was driven back by the Wang family, my mother asked me to come over, and asked you and my brother-in-law to hurry home."

As soon as Yao Yun'er heard that the eldest sister was driven back by the Wang family, her heart suddenly tightened, and before she could go back to the house to find Yuan Wu, she saw that the man had walked out, and said to the Yao family's sisters and brothers: "Let's go." ”

locked the door of the shop at the moment, and the three of them rushed to Yao's house together.

The Yao family was surrounded by neighbors at this time, all gathered there and whispered, and almost all the people in Qinghe Village knew that the eldest daughter of the Yao family was abandoned by her husband's family, and even the two daughters she gave birth to were driven back together. For a while, there were people who watched jokes, and some people said that Jinlan was pitiful, and more people held the mentality of watching the excitement, after all, Qinghe Village is a small place, and the villagers have nothing to do on weekdays.

Yao Yun'er didn't care about these people, as soon as she stepped into her mother's yard, she saw Yao Laohan sitting on the threshold, smoking a dry cigarette silently, the eldest girl holding the second girl, and the sisters stood timidly aside, their eyes were red, as if they wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry.

Yao Yun'er looked sad, took out a handkerchief to wipe away the tears on the second girl's face, and Yao's father stood up when he saw his daughter and son-in-law, his face was also very ugly, as if he had aged several years overnight. The daughter was abandoned by her husband's family, this kind of thing is an unsightly thing in anyone's house, Yao's father didn't have the heart to say anything more to his daughter and son-in-law, pointed to the back room with one hand, and said to Yao Yun'er: "Your eldest sister is in the back room, you go in and follow the persuasion." ”

Yao Yun'er agreed, and as soon as she walked into the house, she saw Yao Jinlan's face like gold paper, leaning on the edge of the bed in a daze, Jin Mei was holding a bowl of porridge in her hand, but she couldn't feed it, and Yao's mother was sitting on the side, wiping her tears vigorously.

"Eldest sister......" Yao Yun'er felt uncomfortable, looking at Yao Jinlan's soulless appearance, her eyes were also wet, Yao's mother saw her, so she hoarsely voiced and said, "Why didn't my son-in-law come back with you?" ”

"Mother, he also came back, and he was in the yard with his father, and he didn't come in." Yao Yun'er said, walked to Jinlan's side, and just wanted to persuade a few words, but Yao Jinlan grabbed her hand tightly and sat up from the bed straight.

Yao Yun'er's hands were clutched by her, but she didn't dare to struggle, Yao Jinlan's tears fell, and the grievances and pain that had accumulated for many years seemed to be vented at this moment, only crying heartbreakingly, crying while scolding there: "Wang Dachun, who killed a thousand knives, I have been tired of giving their Wang family cattle and horses for so many years, he and his old lady either beat or scolded me on weekdays, so that I don't eat as well as livestock, he hooked up with the little hooves of the widow Wang, this is to say don't, don't want me!" ”

Yao Jinlan burst into tears, and the persuasion of others couldn't listen to it at all, and then the mind was a little unclear, and she was about to run out, so shocked that Yao's mother hugged her, Yao Jinmei and Yao Yun'er also panicked forward, everyone finally pressed her on the bed, Yao Jinlan was like a crazy demon, and actually sang a tune, the voice was desolate, so scared that the three of them didn't know what to do, just stunned, Yao's mother was pushed to the ground by Yao Jinlan, and Jinmei hurriedly went to help, Yao Yun'er naturally couldn't pull her alone, and watched the eldest sister run out, so she only called out: "Xianggong!" ”

Yuan Wu heard her voice, and immediately strode over, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Yao Jinlan like a madman, rampage in the room, even the chair was knocked over, he stood at the door, when Yao Jinlan ran towards him, the man's face was calm, his gesture was crisp and neat, and he raised his hand and slashed a palm at the crook of Yao Jinlan's neck, Yao Jinlan didn't snort, and fainted.

"Big girl?" Yao's mother was picked up by Jin Mei, and ran over in a panic to support Yao Jinlan, her voice was trembling, and when she saw her daughter fall into the field now, she couldn't stop crying, and scolded Yuan Wu loudly: "The big girl is also your eldest sister, how can you knock her out?" ”

Yuan Wu's face was the same, and he only said: "Mother-in-law, don't worry, the eldest sister will wake up in a short time, take advantage of this time, or invite a Lang Zhong to come over." ”

Yao's mother glanced at Jinlan's face, and hurriedly asked Yao Xiaoshan to invite Lang Zhong, who was diagnosed and treated, but what he said surprised the family, Yao Jinlan was crazy.

Yao Yun'er told Yuan Wu about this, and the man's face was not the slightest surprised, as if he had already expected this result. The two had been delayed at Yao's house until the night, and after Yao Jinlan woke up, she cried endlessly, and only after she fell asleep did she rush home by moonlight.

Yao Yun'er remembered that her eldest sister had become like this, and she couldn't help but feel sad, and before she got home, the tears fell down one by one.

Yuan Wu took her in his arms, and let her cry softly in his arms, Yao Yun'er remembered the care of her eldest sister when she was a child, and her heart became more and more sour, and when she passed by an apricot blossom tree, she suddenly said: "Xianggong, will you also divorce me in the future?" ”

Yuan Wu's footsteps immediately stopped there.

It was in the moonlight, but I saw that the little lady's face was full of tears, and a small face looked even more delicate and tactful in the moonlight, which was even brighter than the moonlight.

"What stupid things are you talking about? How could I have divorced you? The man frowned and looked condescendingly at the villain in his arms.

"I'm afraid, if my husband divorces me in the future, will I be like my eldest sister, and I will also lose my heart and go crazy......"

Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a man in a rough voice: "Don't think about it, you are the lady I am marrying, and I Yuan Wu will live up to you in my life." ”

Hearing this, Yao Yun'er's heart was slightly steady, she leaned into the man's arms, stretched out her hand around his waist, and said softly: "Xianggong, I will follow you all my life, no matter where you go or what you do, I will follow you, don't you want me, okay?" ”

Yuan Wu listened to her timid words, his heart suddenly ached, and he hugged her tighter, his black eyes were as black as ink, and he said a deep word: "Okay." ”

For several days, Yao Yuner was very busy. At the end of the year, the business in the shop is getting better, Yuan Wu can't get out of the way every day, Yao Yun'er has to take care of the housework on the one hand, and on the other hand, she has to go back to her parents' house to help, these days Yao Jinlan's situation is good and bad, crazy all day long, even the eldest girl and the second girl don't recognize, and they are bent on running outside, provoking Yao's father and mother to be exhausted, if they are occasionally sober, they will hold their two daughters and cry silently on the side, and they look pitiful.

The days passed day by day, Yao Jinlan's madness was not good, and she often sat up from the bed in the middle of the night and scolded, of course, she scolded the mother and son of the Wang family, only scared the two children to cry all night long, and after a long time, even the neighbors near Yao's house couldn't see it, and they were talking in private, and some people even said that Yao Jinlan couldn't do without a man, and waited for Ming'er to find another one for her, maybe this madness would be good.

Yao's mother heard it in her ears, but she also moved her mind, and wanted to tell her daughter about her mother-in-law's family, so she found a matchmaker from the village and asked her to inquire about whether there was a widower who had a dead daughter-in-law in these ten miles and eight villages, or a poor family who could not afford to marry a woman, and there was nothing to choose at the moment, as long as she could marry Yao Jinlan.

Seeing that her mother's house was really in chaos, Yao Yuner took the eldest girl and the second girl home, and the two little girls suffered accidents in a row, and their courage was much smaller than before, especially the second girl pestered Yao Yuner every night, and she had to sleep with her aunt and sister.

Yao Yun'er was distressed, so she had to sleep with the children in her clothes, and only after coaxing the sisters to sleep did she quietly return to the room.

On this day, Yao Yun'er was busy all day, and she was very tired, after the eldest girl and the second girl fell asleep, she also fell asleep, unexpectedly slept until midnight, and felt that someone picked herself up, she opened her eyes in a daze, and whispered two words: "Xianggong." ”

Yuan Wu carried her back to the room, took her to sleep on the bed, then closed his eyes and said, "Sleep." ”

Yao Yun'er couldn't sleep, with a pair of fawn-like pupils, she stretched out her finger and nodded on the man's chest, and said angrily: "I just slept with the children for one night, why do you want to bring me back." ”

Yuan Wu still closed his eyes, listening to Yao Yun'er's words, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and he didn't speak, and patted her slender waist with his big hand.

Yao Yun'er arched into his arms, but a trace of confusion appeared between her eyebrows, and said, "Xianggong, is it that I'm not here, you can't sleep?" ”

Yuan Wu opened his eyes at this time, a touch of discomfort crossed Ying Ting's face, he stared at the woman in his arms, but he really couldn't open his mouth to admit it.

The smile on the corner of Yao Yun'er's lips became sweeter and sweeter, and her eyes were like two crescent moons, pointing at his chest and urging: "Say it quickly, isn't it?" ”

Yuan Wu was dumbfounded, held her dishonest little hand, and tightly clamped her, before he replied vaguely: "Hmm." ”

Yao Yun'er looked at his awkward appearance, but her heart was soft and soft, she pecked him on the face, and then leaned on his chest and fell asleep, but there was still a small pear nest next to her mouth, cute and beautiful.

Waiting for her to fall asleep, Yuan Wu looked at her sweet sleeping face, and a faint self-deprecation appeared in his dark eyes.

Just as Yao Yun'er said, without her by his side, he really couldn't sleep. Even he didn't know what was wrong, for so many years, he had long been accustomed to sleeping alone, and even when he was wandering away before, others knew his temperament and never dared to disturb him. But since he married Yao Yun'er, he has long been accustomed to holding the little lady's gentle and soft body every night, smelling the fragrance on her body, and his heart is always indescribably calm, which can easily make him forget the past things, and just want to hold her to sleep like this.

Yao Yun'er has been accompanying the eldest girl and the second girl these nights, without her by his side, he felt empty in his heart, and now seeing that she has not come back, he couldn't help it anymore and carried her back to the house.

The man's eyes were dark, and with a slight smack, he hugged the little man in his arms tighter.

Early the next morning, before dawn, Yao Yuner got up, now there are two more children at home, and there are a lot more odd jobs than before.

She was busy working, but suddenly she heard the door of the shop being slammed, and Yao's mother had a terrible voice, calling her daughter and son-in-law to open the door.

Before she could walk out of the stove room, Yuan Wu had already strode forward to open the door, Yao's mother's face was pale, and the whole person was trembling, and when she saw her daughter and son-in-law, she cried loudly: "Yun girl, your eldest sister is gone!" It's just a nap and she's gone! ”

When Yao Yun'er heard this, the six gods had no owner at the moment, her little hand instinctively grabbed the man's sleeve, and her little face was like Yao's mother, and she was shocked and white.

Yuan Wu shook her hand and comforted her in a deep voice: "You are watching the child at home, I will go to find it." ”

Yao Yun'er was at a loss, but listening to the man's voice was steady, she just nodded, and listened to Yao's mother in a dumb voice, telling Yuan Wu that Yao's father and Yao Xiaoshan had gone to the mountains and forests behind the village, and the implication was to ask Yuan Wu to go over together.

The man shook his head and said, "I'll go to Wangjia Village to have a look." ”

After speaking, he strode out of the shop.

After the man left, Yao Yun'er was worried, as soon as she got home, she saw that the eldest girl and the second girl also got up, and were sitting in the hall with Yao's mother, and the two children knew that their mother was missing from their grandmother's mouth, and when they saw her, they rushed over with tears in their eyes, and kept asking for their mother.

Yao Yun'er comforted them softly, telling them that their grandfather, uncle, and uncle had helped them find their mother, and it wouldn't be long before their mother would come back.

After taking care of the two children and eating, Yao Yun'er saw Yao's mother sitting there unwillingly, and was about to persuade a few words, but saw Yao Jinmei also rushed over from home, only to say that Yao Xiaoshan brought back the news, he and Yao's father almost turned the back mountain upside down, and did not see Yao Jinlan's shadow, and now he has gone to Qinghe with Yao's father, hoping to find the trace of the eldest sister.

When Yao's mother listened, she only felt that her heart was heavy, and she was extremely uncomfortable, and it hurt like a knife, and she kept wiping her tears.

Guarding until noon, I saw Aunt Gu at the west end of the village hurriedly rushed to the door of the Yuan family's shop, and when the mother and daughter of the Yao family walked out, Aunt Gu opened her mouth and said: "Jinlan and her mother, you quickly take someone to Wangjia Village to take a look, your Jinlan ran to Wangjia Village early this morning, and died at the door of Wang's house……”

That Aunt Gu likes to talk about some short things about the East and West families on weekdays, and when she talks about it, it will be endless, how can Yao's mother have the heart to listen to her say this, as soon as she heard the sentence "I crashed into the door of the Wang's house", she didn't even hum, and passed out. Jin Mei and Yun'er were also so shocked that the seven souls were gone, one rubbed his heart there, and the other kept calling his mother, and after a long while, Yao's mother woke up and turned around.

Yao's mother's face was terrifyingly white, and no matter how hard the two daughters tried, they couldn't help her up, until some neighbors stepped forward to help, and finally carried Yao's mother into the house.

It didn't take long for Yao's father and Yao Xiaoshan to come back from Qinghe, seeing that there was no one at home, they inquired and learned that Yao's mother and Jin Mei were at Yuan's house.

As soon as the second elder of the Yao family fell like this, the Yao family suddenly didn't even have a person in charge, Yao Xiaoshan was young, so naturally he couldn't count on it, and Yao Jinmei and Yao Yun'er were both women's families, and they couldn't show their heads, all these things inside and out, but only fell on Yuan Wu.

It wasn't until the evening that Yao Jinlan's body was brought back, and now there was a fatality, and Li Zheng had to come forward. Since Yao Jinlan was abandoned by her husband's family, she is not a person from Wangjia Village, and Qinghe Village has always been a woman who has been spilled by her married daughter, and the daughter who was abandoned by her husband's family is not a person in the village, so Yao Jinlan's body was carried into the ancestral hall, and she discussed it later.

And when the second elder of the Yao family learned that his daughter had been sent to the ancestral hall, he stumbled and was rushed over. As soon as I arrived at the ancestral hall, I saw Yao Jinlan's body lying on the ground, covered with a white cloth, Yao's mother stepped forward regardless of the ground, and lifted the white cloth.

Yao Yun'er also cried uncontrollably, she couldn't imagine that the eldest sister would have such a thing, a person who was fine in the morning, how could she say that it was gone.

The Yao family is poor, and people have always been soft-spoken in Qinghe Village, if something happens, there is no one at home to block the waves, and now that there is such a big thing in the family, they can only rely on their son-in-law.

Yuan Wu let Yao Yun'er go home, and he stayed in the ancestral hall, he was not a local, and he didn't know much about the funeral customs of Qinghe Village, Li Zheng only said that although Yao Jinlan was the daughter of the Yao family, but in the end she was married, and the cemetery in the village could not be buried.

As soon as Li Zheng's words fell, the surrounding neighbors all echoed, Qinghe Village is located in a remote area, the villagers are extremely superstitious, this married woman must not be buried in the cemetery, like Yao Jinlan and there is no husband to bury, so she can only find a place to bury on the barren mountain, otherwise, maybe she will be ruined Feng Shui, and even a village will be handed over with bad luck.

Yuan Wu listened, but he didn't say a word, inside and out, he contributed money and effort, and handed over all the trivial matters to him, although he was a foreigner, he also handled Yao Jinlan's posthumous affairs very decently, and there was nothing wrong with it.

On the day of the funeral, Yao's mother cried and cried to fight with the Wang family, so that the neighbors were persuaded to stop, and after a day of bustling, Yao Jinlan finally settled into the ground, but she was pitiful for the eldest girl and the second girl, since the mother left, these two children have really become orphans, and they have to send people to live under the fence in the future.

Yao's family has naturally been bleak these days, Yao's mother has been sick since Jinlan was buried, she can't get out of bed all day, she can't even eat, Yao Laohan is not much better than her, she doesn't even say a word all day, from morning to night, she squats on the threshold and smokes dry cigarettes.

Yao Yun'er couldn't rest assured of this situation in her mother's family, and she has been staying at her mother's house to serve her mother these days, and she hasn't been home for several days.

On this day, Yao's mother recovered a little strength, so she urged her daughter to go back quickly, Yao Yun'er was really worried about it, she packed some things at the moment, looked at the eldest girl and the second girl, and thought about taking them back together.

Yao's mother saw her daughter's thoughts, called her, and said: "The eldest girl and the second girl stay here with your mother first, you haven't been home for so long, and there are many things at home, go back first and be busy with the affairs at home, ah?" ”

Yao Yun'er responded, and said a few words to the eldest girl and the second girl, before leaving her mother's house and hurried home.

She didn't go home for a few days, Yao Yun'er was really worried about it, in the few days she was away, I don't know how Yuan Wu was doing at home alone, whether she ate well on weekdays, slept well at night, whether her clothes were enough to wear, and whether she was frozen...... Yao Yun'er was thinking about these all the way, and when she was about to get home, she looked at the shop at home from a distance, and her heart was safe, and she only walked faster and faster.

Yao Yun'er was not at home these days, Yuan Wu was really uncomfortable alone, hearing the footsteps of the little lady, Yuan Wu was shocked, and hurriedly walked out of the house.

"Xianggong." As soon as Yao Yun'er saw him, her eyes turned red, she lifted her skirt and ran towards him, stretching out her little hand to wrap around his waist, her voice became sour, "I miss you very much." ”

Yuan Wu also hugged her, and said in a deep voice: "Me too." ”

The two snuggled up for a long time, Yao Yun'er pulled out of the man's arms, and looked at him from head to toe with anxiety, seeing that Yuan Wu had not changed much compared to when he left, his heart was slightly more steady, and he only said softly: "There are too many things at home these days, I really wronged you, how have you eaten these days, cook by yourself, can you eat enough?" ”

The man smiled when he heard this, stroked her little face, and said softly: "Fool, how can there be any grievances." I'm such a big person, can I still be hungry? ”

Yao Yun'er was still distressed, held his big hand, and said softly: "What the Xianggong wants to eat today, I'll make it for you now." ”

Yuan Wu saw the distress in her eyes, and his heart was also soft, he stretched out his big hand and took her into his arms again, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, let me hug you first." ”

Yao Yun'er has to do housework in her mother's house during the day, and she has to take care of her mother at night, and she is really tired, curled up in Yuan Wu's arms at this time, feeling that his arms are so warm and comfortable that she doesn't even want to move, so she wants to lean on him like this, and lean on him for a lifetime.

This night, Yao Yun'er made a table of delicious meals, and kept picking up vegetables for men during meals, remembering that he was not at home these days, he must have eaten some casually every day to fill his stomach, and his heart was a little painful, and he only stuffed Yuan Wu's bowl to the brim, for fear that he would not be full.

In the evening, it was naturally a good time to linger, there was a way that Xiao Biesheng was newly married, the two were separated these days, Yuan Wu was already full of lust, wantonly wanted to wear the woman under him, and Yao Yun'er's delicate body was as smooth and delicate as silk in the dark night, with ice muscles and jade bones, which provoked men to not let go, no matter how they plundered, it was not enough.

In the next few days, Yao Yun'er went back to her parents' house when she was free, and Yuan Wu gave her a bag of silver money and asked her to hand it over to Yao's mother. Seeing that the Chinese New Year is approaching, no matter what happens at home, this day will always go on, the Yao family is not rich, and now there are two more children, and the days are even more stretched, seeing the silver money sent back by her daughter, Yao's mother is uneasy, grateful, and sour.

Since Yao Jinlan's death, the eldest girl and the second girl have been like fledglings that have just come out of the shell, with tears in their eyes all day long. The eldest girl is older, but it's better, the second girl is young, often grinning, crying there to ask for her mother, no matter how Yao's mother coaxes, every time she sees her crying, Yao Yun'er's heart hurts like a knife, and she only hugs her and cries.
