174 The mother's family is coming
"Mother, why are you here? Sit down, sit down! ”
"Yiyi, why are you still stunned, please ask your cousin and cousin to come into the house and rest!"
"Xiangling, come to tea, by the way, take out all the pastries that Yiyi brought back last time, the two children must be hungry after walking so far......"
Lin Meiyi looked at the Liu family who was called back by Zhao Xiangling, only to feel trembling and unable to parry. However, according to his mother's instructions, he invited Liu Jinhuan and Liu Yinhua into the house.
Since she first saw this big family, she didn't react, and only asked Zhao Xiangling to call Liu and the others back.
Lin Youcai was a step behind, but soon came back and joined the group of guests who greeted him.
Zhang was invited out by Lin Meiyi, her old man was very patient, beckoned her mother to take a seat, the two old ladies greeted each other, Liu Dabao and his wife also led the child up to greet him, and brought a basket of eggs from home, which seemed to be a little better than the best Lin Meiyi imagined.
But she didn't forget that when Liu returned to her parents' house on the second day of the Lunar New Year, she was angry.
"Yiyi, why don't you call someone?" Liu took Zhao Xiangling into the hall with refreshments, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Lin Meiyi standing aside in a daze, and hurriedly reminded him.
Zhang had already finished receiving the salute, and when he heard this, he beckoned and motioned for Lin Meiyi to come over.
Lin Meiyi took a deep breath and eased her overly nervous emotions, then stepped forward and bowed slightly, "Grandma, uncle, aunt." ”
Mrs. Liu nodded, smiled and praised the more and more marked.
Aunt Zhou also echoed, "It's become beautiful, they all say that the eighteenth change of the female college, it seems to be true, the last time I saw the big girl, she was still thin and thin, this time, we almost didn't recognize her, just standing at the door, my mother and I didn't dare to come forward to recognize people." ”
This sounds like no problem, but thinking that Lin Meiyi didn't greet Lin Meiyi when the group stood at the door for so long just now, she could immediately feel a little complaint between Zhou's words.
Zhang's pretended to glance at Lin Meiyi, "This girl, recently the female workers have been stupid, and eighty percent of them are still immersed in learning, and they don't even react that they are from her family." ”
"Let the in-laws wait for a long time." Zhang said apologetically.
Mrs. Liu used to be scared of Zhang's family, but now it's still the same, Zhang's holding her like this, she can't say anything, waving her hand to say that this is all a trivial matter, and it's over.
"Mother-in-law, have you rested in this courtyard? Looking at the bright and bright place, it is very different from when we came the year before. Mrs. Liu looked at the room and said tentatively with a smile.
Zhang's chin bowed, "At the beginning of the year, it was repaired once, isn't it that the child has the ability, I earned some silver to supplement the family, so I repaired it, thinking that it would be difficult for a few children to sleep when they were older in the future, so I added a backyard." ”
"And a backyard?" Zhou exclaimed, his eyes full of disbelief, pointed to the eaves that came out behind him, and asked uncertainly:
"That's it? I thought that the houses in the back were all at the root of our house. ”
Zhang nodded with a smile and glanced at Liu, who hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I was busy after the New Year, and I only added some bricks and tiles to my family, so I didn't do much, so I didn't notify everyone." ”
When Mrs. Liu heard this, she felt a little more comfortable.
However, thinking that their daughter's family has undergone such a big change, they never knew that the old lady was still unhappy.
What does this mean?
This shows that this daughter has no thought of sharing good things with her mother's family.
It's a shame that they are still thinking about the kindness of their aunt to send rice and grain after the heavy rain, and they want to come and have a look, but they didn't expect that people would hide it from them when they were developed.
If they hadn't come to see, would the couple have been hiding it?
What do you think they are so wary of?
Is their family that wants to intervene when they see people?
Thinking of this, Mrs. Liu couldn't hold back the smile on her face, and when Liu Dabao saw his mother's expression, he couldn't help but look at Lin Youcai, and said in a strange manner:
"My brother-in-law's house is built and the backyard is built, it seems to be developed!"
Lin Youcai smiled embarrassedly, "Where is this developed, it has been decades for my family to build the house this time, or thanks to the blessing of the child, it is not as good as the big tile house of your brother-in-law." ”
Mrs. Liu's two youngest daughters are well married, and there are many subsidies to her mother's family, and the Liu family only demolished the old house two years ago to rebuild, and the bright big tile house, the first one in Liu's village, he can't compare to this generosity.
What's more, this silver is all earned by the children, and he doesn't dare to be arrogant as a father.
When Liu Dabao heard Lin Youcai's words, he finally balanced his heart.
The big guy was talking about going to the backyard to see the new house, and Ah Da and Xiao Hei came back.
Just now, Liu and Lin Youcai came back in a hurry, and they didn't take anything, the two of them carried tools into the door, nodded at the master's house first, and turned around to put things in the utility room.
After the things were put away, Lin Youcai called the two of them over.
"Mother, this is Ah Da and Xiao Hei, with them, our work is much easier." Lin Youcai introduced with a smile.
Zhou and Liu Dabao glanced at each other, and said in their hearts, isn't this a slave? Why are you so politely introduced?
Mrs. Liu nodded and said that she knew, she was completely uncomfortable in her heart now, her daughter was repairing houses and buying slaves, but she didn't know any news, she was deliberately hiding it from her.
Liu Jinhuan hasn't spoken much, this kid is three days older than Lin Meiyi, he is not as tall as Lin Meiyi, thin and small, a monkey spirit, his eyes have been spinning around since he entered the door, and now he is staring at Ah Da and Xiao Hei's inches, and he said:
"This is the hair of the slaves, and they still have tattoos on their chins, uncle, your family bought two slaves?"
"And the black slaves, I heard the guests in the town say that the black slaves can't be raised, and if they buy them back, they will lose money, and they have to paste the coffin book upside down."
He said it seriously, but he was suspected of being a showman, as if he knew how great these were, and Zhao Xiangling felt uncomfortable when he listened to it.
As a result, the boy's eyes rolled and fell on her, pointing at her and asking, "Who is this man?" Could it be that my aunt also bought a maid to serve? ”
Servant girl?
Mrs. Liu and Zhou's brushed their hands towards Zhao Xiangling, as if they had just noticed her, and they were a little unsure when they saw Zhao Xiangling's neat dress.
This is dressed as well as the master's house, is it a maid?
Zhao Xiangling took a deep breath and took a deep breath, so that she was not angry with these pairs of inquiring eyes.
She didn't explain, she just looked at Liu, and Liu glanced at Liu Jinhuan helplessly, "This is your sister Yiyi's friend, who lives in our house temporarily, what kind of maid, don't open your mouth and talk nonsense, people are innocent girls' families, don't talk nonsense." ”
Liu Jinhuan was dumbfounded, and his first reaction was not to apologize to the person concerned for saying the wrong thing, but to ask aggrievedly: "Auntie, are you murdering me?" ”
"Where am I murdering you, I'm telling you not to talk nonsense." Liu didn't have a good airway.
She doesn't believe her nephew, she can't say it!
