Chapter 2 Born like duckweed
"Mother-in-law!" A little girl dressed in a woollen cloth dress with a delicate face holding a wild flower that had just been picked on the mountain, ran to the grass hut at the foot of the mountain with a bright smile, and as soon as she entered the door, she sweetly gathered around the fifty-year-old woman, talking and laughing.
"Mother-in-law! You see! This is the flower that she just picked for her mother-in-law! Mother-in-law smells fragrant! The girl jumped to the old woman's side and held up the flower in her hand to the old woman.
The old woman, who was rushing to make clothes at the bedside, saw the girl coming back, put down the needle and thread in her hand with a smile, sniffed the flowers in the girl's hand carefully, and smiled kindly: "Well, fragrant!" It smells so good! ”
The old woman said as she looked at the little girl in front of her who was smiling like a spring flower. As if time had passed, the sleeping baby girl in her basket was still yesterday. However, eleven years have passed, and the baby girl of that year is now a well-behaved and pretty girl.
Back then, Granny Yin rescued the baby girl from the Hou Mansion, afraid that after the matter was exposed, the Shaw family would retaliate. He fled to Annam with the baby girl. She knew that her health was getting worse, and she was becoming more and more unable to take care of her children.
Every time she looks at her well-behaved and filial appearance, she always thinks of how she will survive in this troubled world when she dies a hundred years later.
Fortunately, a few days ago, she inquired about a good person. This family, surnamed Zhu, is a farmer in the border fields of Annam. The couple had no children for many years and had no children under their knees. She has already agreed with the Zhu family that she will pass on the past in the next two days. It's just that she hasn't figured out how to tell her yet.
"Mother-in-law, which lady made such beautiful clothes for?" At a glance, she saw the blue pigment clothes on the desk, and asked with big watery eyes.
"This is made for Er!" Granny Yin replied with a kind look in her eyes.
She jumped up from the edge of the bed in surprise, walked to the desk, looked at the beautiful cloth on the table happily, and couldn't help but stretch out her little hand and touch it.
"Is this dress really made for Er?" She couldn't believe it and asked cautiously.
Granny Yin stroked her head with a smile and said, "Of course it's for Er'er, do you like it?" ”
She couldn't help but compare her new clothes with her body, and happily replied, "Well, I like it!" But ......"
Su'er suddenly thought of something, and her bright eyes suddenly darkened, "Mother-in-law must have spent a lot of money to make Su'er's new clothes." In fact...... The clothes she wears now are pretty good. ”
She obediently put down her new clothes and sat down beside her mother-in-law.
Granny Yin listened to what Su'er said, and looked at the ragged cloth that Su'er was wearing at this time, and couldn't help but feel sad.
Ever since she took her out of the Hou Mansion, this hard-working child has been following her around and suffering. She thought that she would have a stable life when she escaped from Pingxi City and came to Annan with her son, but last month, the landlord demanded rent, and Granny Yin couldn't afford it, so she had to move out of the original house with her and live in seclusion in a thatched hut at the foot of the mountain.
No matter how difficult life is, there is a bright smile on her face, but the child's warm smile will always make her feel inexplicably distressed.
"Don't worry, this dress is made by my mother-in-law, as long as I like it." Granny Hide was relieved.
She opened her arms and hugged her mother-in-law, and said warmly: "Mother-in-law is so good!" With her mother-in-law to accompany her child, she feels very happy! ”
Granny Yin patted her on the back, and the corners of her eyes involuntarily glistened with tears.
Early the next morning, Granny Yin dressed up for her and put on the new clothes she had made overnight. After the two had breakfast, Granny Yin took Niang'er over the hillside and came to Zhu's house, a farmer in the border fields.
The Zhu family and his wife knew that the two were coming, and they were already waiting in the courtyard early.
Qian Shi, the daughter-in-law of the Zhu family, who was sitting at the gate of the courtyard, faintly saw an old man and a small man walking in a small step not far away, and hurriedly went back to the house and called Zhu Sheng.
When Zhu Sheng heard this, he hurriedly walked out of the house to greet him.
"Granny Hidden!" Qian greeted warmly from afar.
Yu'er held Mother-in-law's hand tightly, and followed Mother-in-law to Zhu's house and into the courtyard.
"Mother-in-law, this is the child you always talked about!" Qian stepped forward, looked up and down at Fu'er, and said in surprise: "Although this child is young, his appearance is very marked, and he looks like a beautiful embryo at first glance!" ”
Qian said as he stretched out his hand and touched her pink little face.
Yu'er hurriedly turned her face sideways and timidly hid behind Granny Yin.
"I'm going to have to trouble you to take care of her from now on." Granny Yin said, pulled the girl behind her, leaned over and said to the girl: "Mother, you will live with your uncle and aunt in the future, they will be your father and mother in the future!" You have to remember to listen to them, you know? ”
Holding back the tears in her eyes, she choked up and asked, "Mother-in-law, don't you want you?" ”
Granny Yin buried her head, and it took a while to respond: "Mother-in-law is old and can't take care of Er'er, don't worry, they are all very good people and will be good to Ji'er." Seeing that there is someone to take care of, my mother-in-law can feel at ease! ”
"Mother-in-law! Don't leave your mother-in-law! If you do something wrong before and make your mother-in-law angry, your mother-in-law will punish you, but don't do it! She finally couldn't hold back her sobbing, and her little hand holding the placket of her mother-in-law's clothes refused to let go.
Mother-in-law Yin also burst into tears, and hugged the embellishment who had already cried into tears in her arms.
"Be good, listen to your uncle and aunt!" Granny Yin said, and pushed Yu'er into Qian's arms, and her heart was crossed, and she left without looking back.
Under the pull of the Qian family, she shouted the name of Granny Yin, but Granny Yin never looked back.
