Chapter 6 The Death of the Mother's Family
On this day, Yao Yuner made some snacks at home, planning to send them to her mother's house, just walked to the intersection, and saw that the front was full of people, and there was a faint cry of children.
But it was said that after the death of Jinlan, Mrs. Wang did not dare to go out for many days, and the villagers of Wangjia Village privately said that she drove Jinlan crazy to death, and Yao Jinlan's ghost would not let her go, and these words somehow fell into her ears, until now after seven hundred and forty-nine days, and when the evil spirit passed, she dared to go out.
And she came to Qinghe Village this time, not for anything else, but to take the eldest girl and the second girl away from Yao's family.
In the final analysis, the eldest girl and the second girl are still members of the Wang family after all, but Yao's mother knows that the mother and son of the Wang family are people, and the child falling into the Wang family is a sheep into the mouth of the tiger, and where is she willing to let the Wang mother-in-law take the child back, so the two did not let each other go, and scolded in the Yao family.
As soon as Yao's mother remembered her daughter's suffering in their family and the fate she had endured, she only hated the root of her teeth, and before she could say a few words, she rushed over and grabbed the hair of the princess, who was not good at stubble, and the two fought at the moment.
This commotion, the surrounding neighbors rushed over, everyone knew that the Wang mother-in-law was a difficult spicy goods, all of them were from a village, the neighbors were afraid that Yao's mother would suffer, and some aunts and mothers-in-law pretended to step forward to pull the shelf, and secretly pinched the Wang mother-in-law, I kicked it, in short, I wanted to make this old woman unlucky.
Mrs. Wang shouted so loudly, only that Mother Yao was relying on the crowd and wanted to kill her, and after making trouble like this for a while, Mrs. Wang couldn't support it anymore, and just wanted to run away from the wilderness.
Yao's mother was willing to let her go, both of them were disheveled, and they pulled until they reached the intersection. Yao Yuner was worried that her mother would suffer a loss, so she stuffed the dim sum into the hands of the neighbors, and hurried over, Yao's mother was like a crazy demon, and she hit Wang Pozi desperately.
Yao Yun'er saw her mother's red eyes, her heart was chuckled, and she hurriedly stepped forward with those aunts and mothers-in-law, and it took a lot of effort to persuade Yao's mother-in-law, and the princess got up from the ground, her face was blue and purple, and even her clothes were full of footprints. ”
Yao's mother was so angry that she trembled, and she was about to step forward and fight with her, but the neighbors hurriedly stopped her, and the princess was afraid when she saw this battle, twisted her little feet, and hurriedly walked away.
The neighbors all stepped forward to persuade her, and it was easy to persuade Yao's mother to go home, and they also dispersed.
Yao Yun'er saw that her mother was so angry, she poured a glass of water and handed it to her mother.
Yao's mother scolded for a long time, her mouth was dry, and when she saw her daughter bringing water, her heart was warm, looking at Yao Yuner's soft and innocent little face, she also saved a little pity, beckoned her daughter to sit down beside her, sighed and said: "Yun girl, there are a lot of things at home these days, and our mother and daughter haven't said anything considerate for a few days." ”
Yao Yun'er held her mother's hand and said softly: "Mother, don't worry, Xianggong has already said that he will not care about the eldest girl and the second girl in the future, as long as you and your father take care of their bodies, and leave other things to him." ”
When Yao's mother heard this, she had mixed feelings in her heart, and after a while, she lowered her voice and said to her daughter: "You talk to your mother, you have been married for a while, why haven't you moved?" ”
Yao Yun'er's little face first floated with a sense of confusion, and then she figured out the meaning of her mother's words, and immediately her face turned red, and she only lowered her eyes, so ashamed that she didn't even dare to speak.
"It's not that my mother said you, my uncle is not young, you must hurry up and give him a son, so as to tie his heart, otherwise you look at your eldest sister, if she has a son, how can she still fall into this field?" Yao's mother talked about her eldest daughter, and she couldn't help but feel sad, she waved her sleeves to wipe her tears, Yao Yun'er felt uncomfortable when she saw it, and she didn't stay long in her mother's house, so she got up and went home.
As soon as I got home, I saw a man standing in the yard chopping wood, in the middle of winter, he was only wearing a single coat, his burly body was tall and straight, strong and vigorous.
Yao Yun'er was worried that he would catch a cold, so she took his padded jacket and said, "Xianggong, quickly put on the padded clothes, be careful of catching a cold." ”
Yuan Wu put down the axe, shook his head, and said, "I'm not cold." ”
"If you don't have to wear it if it's not cold, if you wait for the cold air to get into your bones, it will hurt every day when you get older." Yao Yun'er didn't comply, and untied the cotton clothes, so that the man had to wear it.
Yuan Wu was helpless, raised his lips slightly, and finally put the cotton clothes on his body according to her wishes.
"Just now, Mrs. Wang is here." Yao Yun'er stood on tiptoe, buttoning the cotton clothes for the man, and whispered softly, "She wants to take the eldest girl and the second girl away, she is very girly, and she has a fight." ”
"Oh?" Yuan Wu smiled faintly, "Then who won?" ”
Yao Yun'er glanced at him and smiled slightly.
buttoned the button for him, but Yao Yun'er was still a little uneasy in her heart, and said again: "Before Mrs. Wang left, she said that she was going to the government to complain, saying that my mother was holding her granddaughter and wanted to send us all to the government to prison. ”
When the man heard this, he took her little hand and comforted, "She just said it casually, it doesn't matter." ”
When Yao Yun'er saw her man say this, her heart suddenly became a lot more steady, thinking of what her mother said when she left home, her face became slightly hot, and she only felt sweet in her heart, and couldn't help but bury her body in the man's arms.
"What's wrong?" Seeing her burrow into his arms without making a sound, Yuan Wu couldn't help but feel funny, stretched out his arm, and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Xianggong, let's give birth to a little doll." Yao Yun'er pursed the corners of her lips, the pear socket was shallow, and her autumn-like pupils were full of shyness, just like that, she raised her head in the man's arms and stared at him.
Yuan Wu's dark eyes froze, and his voice suddenly deepened: "Why did you suddenly think of this?" ”
Yao Yun'er's face turned red, and she said softly: "I was at home, and my mother told me that a woman can only tie a man's heart if she gives birth to a son for a man." I...... I want to give you a son. Yao Yun'er said this, lowered her eyes slightly, and her voice was inaudible, "In this way, I can tie you." ”
Yuan Wu looked at her delicate face, only felt that he couldn't help laughing, smiled slightly, and pressed her into his arms again, his voice was low and gentle, and people couldn't help but indulge in it: "Fool, whether you have a son or not, you have already tied me up." ”
The flush on Yao Yun'er's face deepened, her heart was full of sweetness, she stretched out her arm to wrap around the man's waist, and whispered, "You didn't lie to me?" ”
"I didn't lie to you," Yuan Wu patted her on the back, his dark eyes were deep and sharp, looking at this small farmhouse courtyard, and finally snorted lightly, and said in a low voice, "I was tied tightly by you, and I couldn't run away for the rest of my life." ”
Approaching the end of the year, the heavy snow is falling, the villagers of Qinghe Village look at the heavy snow, everyone is happy, only that it is a good year of snow and a good harvest in the coming year.
Unexpectedly, the heavy snow was endless, seeing that it had been raining for several days, and even the road leading to the town was blocked, the villagers panicked, if the heavy snow continued to fall, they were afraid that they would be frozen to death before they starved to death.
Due to the heavy snow in the past few days, Yao Yun'er has not gone out for the past few days, and only stays at home with Yuan Wu to live her own small life. The Yuan family lacks nothing, the two large water tanks in the stove room are full, and the rice tank is also full, especially the firewood, which almost fills half of the house.
In addition, Yuan Wu went to Yunyao Town a few days ago to close the road with heavy snow, and bought all the New Year's goods, especially for Yao Yun'er, who bought some gadgets that her daughters-in-law liked, as for snacks and candies, not to mention, this year is Yao Yun'er's most prosperous year.
On this day, the snow still kept falling, there was a fire in the house, but it was warm, the two had dinner, and went to bed early, Yao Yuner leaned on Yuan Wu's arms, but her little hand was holding a pair of scissors, and she was cutting the flower paper carefully, planning to wait for the New Year, so that she could stick it on the window and add a little joy.
Yuan Wu held her in his arms, and the warmth from his chest continued to drill into Yao Yun'er's body, making her can't help but twist her body, and said angrily: "Xianggong, don't hug me too tightly, I'm hot." ”
Yuan Wu smiled, tucked the quilt for her, looked at her white and jade-like neck, and couldn't help but lean down and prick it with his own hawthorn.
"Don't make trouble," Yao Yun'er couldn't help laughing out loud when she was itched by him, and said with a smile while hiding, "I'm going to cut it soon." ”
Remembering that she was still holding scissors in her hand, Yuan Wu stopped. Yao Yun'er was skillful, and after a while, she cut out a window flower, the red and bright color was very festive, if it was pasted on the window, it would definitely be very good-looking.
"Okay, let's cut the rest tomorrow." When Yuan Wu saw that she had cut it, he opened his mouth in a deep voice, and his hands were dishonest, and they reached into the placket of her clothes, moving on Yao Yun'er's delicate and soft skin.
Yao Yun'er shook her head: "No, there will be tomorrow and tomorrow, I still want to make rice cakes and fried balls, I must cut this window paper tonight." ”
Yuan Wu saw that she was still buried in cutting the window flowers, and her soft side face was carved with jade, which fell into his eyes, making his heart soften, and even felt that there would be nothing in this world that would be better than this moment.
There was firewood burning in the stove, crackling from time to time, Yao Yun'er also threw the finished orange peel into it at night, and the whole room was full of refreshing orange fragrance, in this cold winter night, people smelled it, and felt infinitely warm.
When Yao Yun'er cut the window paper, it was already late at night, and she had just packed up her things, but Yao Yun'er felt her stomach gurgling.
Yao Yun'er was very ashamed, but she still turned around and said softly to the man: "Xianggong, I'm hungry." ”
Yuan Wu naturally heard it, so he immediately chuckled, scratched the tip of her nose and said, "What do you want to eat?" ”
Yao Yun'er was about to speak, but she heard a knock on the door outside the courtyard, it was the voice of her younger brother Yao Xiaoshan, which was even more clear in this lonely winter night.
"Sister, open the door, sister!"
Yao Yun'er was very anxious to hear her brother's voice, she thought that something had happened to her mother's family, so she panicked, lifted the quilt and was about to run out, but the man grabbed her, put her clothes on her, and said, "Wait here, I'll go out and have a look." ”
Yao Yun'er was anxious, Yuan Wu just opened the door, a gust of wind and snow rushed in his face, the man quickly closed the door tightly, and strode out of the courtyard.
As soon as he opened the door of the shop, he saw Yao Xiaoshan's face was icy, and his voice was shaking, and when he saw Yuan Wu, he cried out: "Sister...... Brother-in-law, let's ...... Our house was crushed by heavy snow, and my mother and eldest sister were fine, but my father ...... Daddy is still pressed by the heavy snow, mother...... Mother wants me to come to you quickly......"
Yao Xiaoshan was young in the end, and because of the cold weather, he couldn't speak, so he finally finished his words out of breath, and heard a sound of footsteps from far and near, Yuan Wu turned around, it was Yao Yun'er who was not at ease and rushed over from the house.
"What's wrong with Daddy?" Yao Yun'er had already heard Yao Xiaoshan's cry in the yard, and the face at the moment didn't know if it was because it was cold or afraid, it was as pale as snow.
When Yuan Wu saw her come out, his brows furrowed, and he said, "You and Xiaoshan go back to the house first, and I'll go and pick up my father-in-law and them." ”
"I'm going too." Yao Yuner was worried about her mother's family and blurted out her debut.
Yuan Wu's brows tightened even tighter, his face sank, and he only said two words in a deep voice: "Obedient." Then he turned to Yao Xiaoshan and ordered, "Take your sister back to the house." ”
After speaking, he broke into the vast wind and snow without looking back.
When Yuan Wu arrived at Yao's house, he saw Yao's mother and Yao Jinmei paralyzed in the snow, hugging each other, shivering with cold. When she saw Yuan Wu striding in the wind and snow, Yao's mother was fine, but Jin Mei let out a "wow" and cried.
When Yao's mother saw her son-in-law at this time, it was like seeing a savior, although she didn't cry like a daughter, her eyes were also red, and she said to Yuan Wu tremblingly: "Son-in-law, Yun'er's father is still buried in the house, you have to think of a way to save him!" ”
Yuan Wu didn't talk nonsense, only said: "Mother-in-law, don't worry." ”
Yao Yun'er waited restlessly at home, and when she heard a knock on the door, the sister and brother hurriedly opened the door, and saw Yuan Wu walking in with Yao Laohan on his back.
"Daddy!" Yao Yun'er saw that her father's eyes were closed, his face was pale, and he was obviously seriously injured, and when she saw her little face, she was frightened and called out in a lost voice.
"Let's go back to the house first." Yuan Wu didn't stop at his feet, and carried Yao Laohan into the house, Yao's mother and Jin Mei led the two children, and hurried behind all the way, and after a long while, they hurried over.
Yao Laohan broke his leg by the fallen beam, and was frozen by the ice and snow, so he fainted, and it was not until Yuan Wu put him on the bed and poured a bowl of hot soup that he gradually woke up.
When he woke up, the broken leg hurt like a heart, and seeing Yao Laohan in cold sweat, Yao's mother was so panicked that she had no idea, and she didn't have the face to call her son-in-law again, so she only asked her son to quickly invite a doctor to come over and see if he could connect Yao Laohan's broken leg.
"Mother, it's snowing so heavily, where do you let me go to ask for a doctor!" Yao Xiaoshan was dumbfounded, looking like that, he was about to cry, seeing that the heavy snow had blocked the road for several days, and he really couldn't go to the neighboring village to ask for a doctor.
Yao's mother was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and she was anxious, but she saw Yuan Wu walking to Yao Laohan's side, stretched out his hand, and pressed Yao Laohan's injured leg.
"Uncle, look at this ......" Yao's mother didn't care about anything else at this time, so she had to ask with a smile on her face.
"You don't need to ask for a doctor, I'll come." The man's face was calm, and he rolled up his sleeves while saying, these bones and other jobs were not new to him, and before he started, he whispered to Yao Laohan: "Offended." ”
When Yao Laohan saw Yuan Wu speak, he only made a ho-ho sound in his throat, and he was already so painful that he couldn't speak.
Yuan Wu lowered his eyes and stretched out his hand to pick up the bones for Yao Laohan, Yao Laohan gritted his teeth and was stunned. Just after the bones, Yuan Wu went to the stove room to pick a wooden board over, fixed the wooden board with cotton cloth, and after finishing all the work, Yuan Wu stood up, and a layer of sweat beaded on his forehead.
"Xianggong, wipe it quickly." Yao Yun'er looked distressed, and hurriedly handed over the sweat towel and asked the man to wipe his face.
"Uncle, we'll go back tomorrow at dawn, and this night, I'm going to bother you for the night."
Yao's mother had a sneering face, seeing that she was a big family, old and small, the old face couldn't stop being hot, but there was no way, the house at home had long been in disrepair, and she was worried about the snow every winter, for fear that her old house would not be able to withstand it, but it happened that the snow fell hard this year, so she caught up.
Yuan Wu shook his head and said lightly: "You and your father-in-law will stay here for the past few days, and it will not be too late to go back when the house is repaired." ”
With that, the man walked out of the house.
"Xianggong ......" Yao Yun'er looked at it, and hurriedly followed, the two walked into the stove room together, looking at Yuan Wu's face was deep, Yao Yun'er was a little worried in her heart, walked slowly to the man's side, gently shook his sleeves, and said, "Xianggong, are you angry?" ”
Yuan Wu looked back, looked at his delicate young lady, and then pressed down the gloom between his eyebrows, stroked her little face, and said, "No, don't think about it." ”
Yao Yun'er is young after all, her mother's family has this incident, and she doesn't know what to do, although she hopes that her family can live in her own house, but when she thinks of Yuan Wu, she can't help but feel guilty in her heart, and she just feels sorry for him.
"Father-in-law and mother-in-law live in our house, you and your second sister live in the east with two children, as for Xiaoshan, you can lay a floor for him in the hall, make do with it."
"What about you?"
"I'll just live here."
Yuan Wu said in a deep voice, took off his coat, this time he came and went in a hurry, the snow had already been soaked in the clothes, and it had slowly melted at this time, and with the twist of the man's big hand, a lot of water was unscrewed.
Yao Yun'er looked at it, hurriedly brought hot water, asked the man to wipe it, and went to the house to get clean clothes for him. When the man changed his clothes, he saw that his little lady was still standing there, looking at himself with his eyes open, but the circles under his eyes were gradually red.
"What's wrong?" Yuan Wu couldn't see her crying the most, and at this time, looking at her about to cry, his black eyes floated with a touch of helplessness, but his heart softened, he took her in his arms and spoke in a low voice.
"Xianggong, since you married me, our family's affairs have not let you worry less, let you contribute money and efforts, and now, I have to wronged you to live in a firewood house, which blames me......" Yao Yun'er felt sad, and before she finished speaking, tears fell down and hit the back of the man's hand, and the hot tears seemed to burn all the way into his heart.
"What stupid things to say, how can I blame you?" Yuan Wu saw her crying into a tearful person, the helplessness in her dark eyes became stronger, in the end, she was still distressed and pity, so she had to hold her in her arms and whisper a few words of persuasion, until Yao Yun'er stopped her tears, he patted the little lady's back and said, "It's not too early, go back and rest." ”
Yao Yun'er wiped her tears and said softly: "I'll sleep in the firewood room with you." ”
Yuan Wu smiled faintly, pinched her cheek, and said, "Go back." ”
And this night, as the man said, passed quietly.
In the remaining days, when the snow fell a little lighter, Yuan Wu found a few craftsmen in the village, planning to repair the Yao family's house.
Because of the cold weather, most of the craftsmen were reluctant to come out to work, and no one was willing until the men doubled their wages, and as for the silver, it was naturally used like flowing water.
And Yuan Wu himself also helped out in the Yao family, and the people of Qinghe Village occasionally mentioned the Yao family behind their backs, and they all smacked their lips, but the second elder of the Yao family didn't know what blessings he had cultivated in his previous life, and he only got such a good uncle in this life.
Yao Xiaoshan was also driven home by Yao's mother to help, and the expenses of this big family were very strong, and within a few days, the rice bowl that was originally full of noodles was reduced.
Yao's mother was very reluctant to go, so she only said that when the crops were harvested in the coming year, she would send a few bags of grain to Yuan Wu and his wife.
Yao Yun'er cooks the meals at home every day, waiting for the man to come back to eat, Yuan Wu's words are not much, but now that all the people of the Yao family have lived, they are even more reticent, often at the end of the day, they can't hear him say a few words, Yao Yun'er sees it in her eyes, and she only feels very uncomfortable.
This night, when the second sister and the two little girls fell asleep, Yao Yun'er got up quietly, put on a dress casually, tiptoed out of the house, and walked towards the stove room.
"Squeak" sounded softly, Yao Yun'er pushed open the wooden door of the stove room, and saw Yuan Wu lying on the firewood, with a thin quilt scattered on the side, but he didn't cover it, just lying in his clothes.
Yao Yun'er looked at it, the tip of her nose suddenly became sore, and she stepped forward lightly and covered the man with a quilt.
"I didn't sleep in the middle of the night, what did I do here?"
Suddenly, the man's voice sounded, startling Yao Yun'er.
"Xianggong, are you awake?" Yao Yun'er whispered.
Yuan Wu opened his eyes, Yao Yun'er leaned beside him, his small face was snow-white, his cheeks were blown red by the cold wind, as if he had been rubbed with a layer of rouge, because of the cold, his slender body kept fighting, and he couldn't even speak.
Yuan Wu looked at it, and didn't say much, so he hugged her over, and after noticing her cold body, his brows wrinkled involuntarily, and he scolded in a low voice: "Why don't you wear more clothes?" ”
Yao Yun'er curled up in his arms, her little hands tightly grasped his cuffs, buried her face in his arms, and didn't speak, only tears fell silently and hit him in the chest.
"Crying for what?" Seeing her weeping, the man's voice softened, and his rough palm rubbed against the woman's soft cheeks, wiping away the tears for her.
"Xianggong, don't ignore me." Yao Yun'er choked up, her voice was small and soft, which made people listen to it in her ears, and she only felt that her heart was moist, no matter how big the fire was, it was hidden because of her words.
"Why should I ignore you?" Yuan Wu was both helpless and pitiful, looking at her eyes full of tears, the pity in her dark eyes became deeper and deeper, he cupped her face and sucked on her lips.
"You haven't spoken to me for a few days." Yao Yun'er said, her heart was both sad and aggrieved, she stretched out her little hand and tightly wrapped her husband's neck, her fragrant and soft body was as soft as boneless, leaning on her husband's body, and letting him cover herself tightly with the quilt.
When Yuan Wu heard this, he said, "There are many people in the family, even if I want to talk to you, I can't find a chance." ”
When Yao Yun'er heard this, she also felt that he was right, so she raised her little face and said to the man: "How long will it take for Daddy's house to be repaired?" ”
"What, do you want your father-in-law and mother-in-law to go back?" The man said, a smile on his lips.
Yao Yun'er's face turned red, but she still nodded, and admitted: "Father and mother and second sister are here, Xianggong can only rest in the firewood room, I naturally hope that the house at home can be repaired soon, and when they go back, Xianggong can go back to the room." ”
Yuan Wu snorted slightly, noncommittal, and kissed her on the cheek.
"Xianggong, I'll sleep here tonight, okay with you?" Yao Yun'er leaned against the man's chest and said softly.
"You're weak, it's too cold here, so let's go back to your room." Yuan Wu's big hand stroked her hair and said softly.
Yao Yun'er shook her head, her little face was flushed, word by word, but it was gentle and clear: "No, where Xianggong sleeps, I will sleep there, not to mention this firewood house, even if Xianggong lives in the wilderness in the future, I will live with Xianggong." ”
When Yuan Wu heard this, Shen Jun's face shook slightly, he didn't speak, just raised Yao Yun'er's little face, and kissed it without saying anything.
Yao Yun'er was very distressed when she thought of the hardships that men had endured these days, and she was also meekly and obediently leaning on the man's arms at the moment, letting him pity him.
The next day, Yao's mother looked at her daughter's eyebrows and the corners of her eyes were happy, no longer like a few days ago with a small face, and heard Jin Mei talk about it, only to say that Yun'er went to the firewood room last night and lived with her son-in-law, so she understood in her heart, but she was even more unhappy. Although she is the daughter who was raised by herself, but now she eats others, lives in others, and points to others to help her repair the house, her old face is flushed, and she only feels that she has no face to live in the Yuan family anymore.
After discussing with Yao Laohan, the two of them also had the same meaning, so they packed up their things and greeted their daughter and son-in-law, even if the house at home had not been repaired, they insisted on leading the children home.
Seeing that they had made up their minds, Yuan Wu didn't say much, and sent them back, the Yao family's thatched houses have been repaired two, the Yao family lived first, and the rest had to be repaired slowly, because the New Year was approaching, Yuan Wu was willing to give up the silver, and the craftsmen were not lazy, and the work was done quickly and well.
The Yao family did not prepare anything at all because of the house this year, and by the Chinese New Year's Eve, Yao's mother was worried at home, not knowing how to survive this year, but saw her daughter carrying a basket, which was fried meat balls, and a few rice cakes, in addition to Yao Yun'er also carried a large piece of bacon, which was sent to her mother's house.
Yao's mother looked at these things, and didn't know what to say, so she said to her daughter: "Yun girl, you send these back, does my uncle know?" ”
Seeing that her mother was worried, Yao Yun'er smiled and comforted her mother in a gentle voice: "Mother, don't worry, these are all sent by my father-in-law." ”
As soon as Yao's mother heard this, she felt a burst of ironing in her heart and breathed a sigh of relief.
"I was going to send a pot of wine, but the husband said that my father's injury was not healed and it was not suitable to drink, so I didn't send it." Yao Yun'er's voice was sweet, a pair of sweet little pear nests at the corners of her lips, and the two of them said a few more gossips, Yao Yun'er remembered that there were still many things to do at home, and she didn't stay at her mother's house for long, so she rushed back.
Looking at her daughter's back, and then at the basket of meat and vegetables, Yao's mother sighed slightly, only felt that she couldn't tell what it was like in her heart.
"Why are you up, go back and rest." Yao's mother hurriedly got up and supported Yao's father's body, Yao Laohan waved her hand, pointed to the things on the table and asked, "These are all sent by Yun Yatou?" ”
Yao's mother nodded and said, "There is nothing at home, Yun Yatou sent these dishes back, so that we can get through this year." ”
Old man Yao trembled his hands, pointed at Yao's mother and said, "Uncle didn't know how much money he spent in order to repair the house for us, why do you still have the face to accept these things?" ”
Yao's mother's old face was hot, but she still stiffened her neck and said: "Yun girl said, these are also what her son-in-law asked her to send, what are you shouting about this old man." ”
Yao Laohan was angry, and only said: "Tell me yourself, since Yun'er got married, how much my uncle has helped our family, if it weren't for my uncle this time, I'm afraid that my old bones would have been gone, why do you still have the face to take the children's things?" ”
Yao's mother couldn't wear her face when Yao Laohan said it, so she only turned her body around and didn't say a word.
Yao Laohan looked at the dishes on that table, and after a long while, he sighed: "In the end, Yun Yatou is not our biological daughter after all, we eat her, live in her, and now take her, I am always a little unstable in my heart." ”
When Yao's mother heard this, she turned around and said, "What are you talking about, I think if you hadn't brought her back from the town, I boiled rice soup every day, a mouthful, how much effort did it take to raise her, if it weren't for us, how could she be today?" Where did she marry such a good man? ”
Yao Laohan recalled the past, only felt mixed feelings, walked silently to the side and sat down on crutches, and his old face was faintly gloomy.
"In a blink of an eye, seventeen years have passed...... Yao Laohan said, his voice low and unspeakable.
"But no, I still remember that year, it was also snowing heavily, and the old lady of Dongtou Qiao froze to death that year." Yao's mother sat down next to her husband and fell into a memory.
The couple were silent, and I don't know how long it took, Yao's mother finally spoke: "Old man, whose daughter are you saying this girl?" For so many years, I have seen her look so standard, and her body bones are also petite, not at all like us from the north, but like the southern lady sung in the play. ”
Yao Laohan's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was reminiscing about the past, and after a long while, he said slowly: "This child's origin is indeed a little unusual, we raised her, and it can be regarded as a good deed, and now she has to marry a good husband, which can be regarded as a good life for this child." ”
After speaking, Yao Laohan seemed to think of something, and said again: "By the way, you must put that thing away, these days the house is messy, craftsmen go in and out, but don't be touched by bad people." ”
"Don't worry, I know, that thing is expensive at a glance, how dare I leave it around, I've been hiding it close to me these days."
When Yao Laohan heard this, he put his mind at ease, and before he sat down for a while, he was out of breath, so he had to let Yao's mother help him to the bed again.
As soon as Yao Yun'er got home, she took out the cotton clothes that had been made for men, held them in front of the man, and asked him to wear them.
Yuan Wu saw that the cotton clothes were finely stitched, with stitches and threads, which was enough to see that the person making the clothes had put enough thought, and immediately lowered his eyes and put the brand-new cotton clothes on his body, only to feel very light and soft, indescribably comfortable.
In the evening, although there were only two people in the family, Yao Yuner still prepared a table of dishes, cold dishes are radish mixed with clear oil, stir-fried vegetables are pickled vegetables with spicy seeds, cabbage fried dried shreds, and made a salted fish steamed pork, braised meat balls, in addition, there is a large pot of fragrant chicken soup.
This Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is also the most hearty meal that Yao Yuner has eaten when she is so old.
"Xianggong, eat quickly, try my craft." Yao Yuner laid out the dishes and chopsticks for the man, and she picked up a chopstick steamed pork and put it in the man's bowl.
Because it was the Chinese New Year, Yuan Wu poured two glasses of wine and handed Yao Yun'er a glass, Yao Yun'er had never drunk wine, and the tip of her tongue was just stained with a little wine, so she hurriedly stuck out her tongue and shouted: "It's so spicy!" ”
Yuan Wu looked at it, and laughed, the two of them ate this meal beautifully, and drank delicious chicken soup after the meal, Yao Yun'er was worried that Yuan Wu was not full, and she had to make some staple food for him, and before she stood up, Yuan Wu held her in his arms, his breath was fragrant with wine, and he only said that he was full and asked her to stop working.
After eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve, it was about to keep the New Year, Yao Yuner took out the window paper cut a few days ago, and pasted it on the window with the man, and saw that the big red flower paper came to life, the red was like a glow, illuminated by candlelight, and there was a warm and festive in the haze, as if it was going to warm people's hearts all the way.
After the New Year, it is getting warmer and warmer day by day.
"Xianggong, why did you come back so early?" Yao Yun'er welcomed the man into the house, hurriedly brought out the cold tea for him, and served him to drink it, seeing that there was no shortage of pork on the flatbed car, the little face suddenly darkened, gently shook the sleeve of the husband, and whispered: "Today's meat, hasn't it been sold?" ”
Yuan Wu looked up at the bowl of tea, and when he saw her asking, he nodded and said: "Just after the New Year, there are few people buying vegetables in the market, and even those restaurants have dry goods and bacon, so there is no need for these fresh meats." ”
Yao Yun'er looked at the meat, but her delicate little brows frowned slightly, and said, "Then what should I do with these meats, in a few days, it will definitely be bad." ”
"Pickle it first." Yuan Wu opened his mouth, and when he saw Yao Yun'er drooping her eyes and not saying a word, he stroked her little face and said, "Are you worried about the silver?" ”
The man's voice was low and powerful, and as soon as the words fell, Yao Yun'er's eyes were slightly red, her voice was soft and tactful, and she said: "Xianggong, our family has no money." ”
Yuan Wu smiled slightly, the expression between his eyebrows was also very gentle, and said: "You don't have to worry about the silver, I will go into the mountains tomorrow to find something to exchange for some silver, are you still afraid that I won't be able to support you?" ”
When Yao Yun'er heard this, she immediately shook her head: "I just feel sorry for my father-in-law, but the money I worked so hard to save has cost my family to repair the house, as long as I think about it, I feel uncomfortable." ”
Yuan Wu tightened her body and said lightly: "If the silver is gone, you can earn it again, it's nothing." ”
The two said a few words like this, Yuan Wu put the pork on the flatbed car into the stove room, Yao Yun'er took out the salt at home, and was just about to marinate the meat, but after seeing the oily pork, his stomach turned over for a while, only to feel that his eyes were dark, and his body shook and almost fell.
Yuan Wu looked at it, and immediately rushed over and hugged her, his black eyes were full of anxiety: "What's wrong?" ”
Yao Yun'er only felt uncomfortable in her stomach, and suppressed the nausea, seeing that her husband was worried, she shook her head, a weak smile bloomed on the corner of her lips, and said: "I was a little dizzy just now, but now it's fine." ”
Yuan Wu saw that her face was not good, so he didn't let her do anything, so he hugged her horizontally and carried her into the house to rest.
Looking at Yao Yun'er's little face as pale as snow, the man held her little hand and whispered, "Rest for a while." ”
Yao Yun'er really felt that her body was very tired, and she didn't know what was going on this time, she didn't have much strength in her body every day, she got up early in the morning on weekdays, but her body has become more and more lazy these days, and she actually stayed in bed, and she didn't want to get up.
She nodded, only to feel that her eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and she held her husband's big hand tightly, and said softly: "That Xianggong is here to accompany me." ”
Yuan Wu saw that her clear pupils were full of attachment, and his heart suddenly softened, so he simply lay down beside her, grabbed her waist with one hand, and held her in his arms, before he said softly: "Okay, sleep." ”
With him, Yao Yun'er felt indescribably warm and down-to-earth, and as soon as she closed her eyes, she fell asleep.
Listening to her breathing evenly, Xu is very relieved, and the pale little face gradually regained its bloody color, Yuan Wu looked at it, and only then did he relax slightly, and he got up cautiously and put her hand into the quilt.
