Time is always very fast, in the blink of an eye, Helan has been in this house for two months, and the biggest change in these two months is the weather, from wearing a single coat to adding a thick dress inside and being cold.

Since Helan took over the embroidery job, the most she stayed in was her own room, and Wu's mother's attitude towards Helan was still the same as before, and she didn't talk too much.

is snarky, as if he really treats Helan as a family member, and he doesn't let Helan do housework anymore, after all, doing housework for many years will grind his hands roughly, Helan's hands are worth more than these two women in the family.

Helan occasionally takes the initiative to help Wu's mother share the housework when she is busy and tired, but as always, Wu's mother still doesn't let Helan go out.

Helan couldn't understand this kind of behavior before, and even misinterpreted it, and once talked to Qingmei, only to know that within 99 days after the death of their elders, the children of the family must stay at home for 99 days to express their filial piety.

It may be worth mentioning that although Helan has embroidered something recently, although it is only some handkerchiefs and purses, the silver money is also a lot of money. The first few times the money was in Wu's mother's hands, until one day Grandpa Wu knew about it and held a family meeting, and the theme of the meeting was Helan earning money this time.

However, it was just Grandpa Wu unilaterally announcing his order, and this time the topic was that the money Helan earned after that was her own, and the family had no right to stay.

Wu Qingzhu earned his own money, but because the money in the family for Wu Qingzhu's entrance examination and marrying Helan was spent at that time, the two of them had to pay half of the money they earned to the family every month, as for whether Wu Qingzhu paid Helan I don't know, anyway, every time Helan got the money from Wu Qingzhu, he would send half of it to Wu's mother.

Once, in the middle of the night, Helan passed by Wu's mother's room after going to the toilet and accidentally heard the chat of Wu's father and Wu's mother, of course, it was not deliberately eavesdropping, but it was too quiet at the moment, and even the breathing of the old people in the family could be heard, not to mention that it was just the sound of conversation through a wooden door?

"Boss, shouldn't I take this money?"

"What should I take and what I shouldn't take, it's all my own family, and it's our Wu family who didn't worship the church to get married, and besides, you asked them for money for the sake of the two of them, and you can't hold a wedding for two people a year later, and the family doesn't have a penny, and people think we don't look down on this daughter-in-law."

"This money is their own private money, should not have been, but now he has not married and has not separated, or to store it for them first, even if it is spent on their young couple, although the family is not rich and will not spend the daughter-in-law's private money, but when it comes to the banquet, it must be a big deal, and we can't let others look down on our daughter-in-law's daughter-in-law." I really like Helan's daughter-in-law, she is obedient and temperamental, she is also diligent, and she can make money, even if she finds a daughter-in-law for her son a few years ago, she may not find such a daughter-in-law. Mother Wu was very proud when she said this.

"Other people's families are in charge of the money, and the daughter-in-law still takes the lion's share even if she earns a lot of money, you are already very good, don't think about it so much, go to sleep quickly." Then there was the snoring of Wu's father.

After that, Helan, who paid the money every time, didn't feel sorry for her money anymore, and sometimes some things were just a little bit better. For example, Helan now eats and lives at home, and the silver taels that he drew to save himself at the beginning are also at home, so these are all money.

Mother Wu collected her own money and didn't spend her own, and what she wanted to spend was also spent on herself, such a mother-in-law may be difficult to find in this world.

Helan, who got up early in the morning, was quite helpless to see that the rain outside had not stopped, because it was raining heavily outside, and it was raining lightly in her house.

Put the wooden basin on the bed, and the next morning I saw that I had already received a small half of the basin, Helan who had no choice but to get up, stood in the house for a while and suddenly found that the top of the head began to leak rain, and looked at the rain outside and could only helplessly return to the quilt, not only did it rain today, but the weather also became cold.

I wrapped up the quilt, found two people to put the leaking place, and then curled up in the waterless place to watch the raindrops splash in outside the window.

I vaguely heard the sound of the door ringing, and opened the door in a panic to find that it was Wu's mother standing at the door with an umbrella, still holding something in her hand, Helan hurriedly staggered to let Wu's mother in.

"This is my clothes when I was young, the clothes are a little shabby, you can usually make do with them at home, this is the winter clothes I made for you, and you can wear them when it's colder."

"Yes, thank you, mother." Although the clothes she gave herself were a little shabby, Helan was also very satisfied, as long as she had clothes to keep out the cold, it was good for her. Not to mention that there is now a new dress.

"Is there rain leaking in your house? This house is old, and in two days I will ask your father and them to go to the foot of the mountain to cut some shuttle grass and build another layer on the roof for you, so that it will be warmer in winter. Mother Wu looked at the house, looked at it for a long time, carefully looked at whether the house could still be lived, and made sure that there were only two places where the rain was leaking.

"Yes, okay."

"It's cold today, it's been raining, your embroidery work will be put first, stay in the quilt, and I won't cook this morning and eat together at noon."

Of course, when Wu's mother left, Helan didn't come out of this thunderbolt on a sunny day, the sky outside was raining, and Helan's heart echoed the sky outside.

I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, although I only had a little porridge and a little nest before, it was still rice! Now I don't even have food! Helan had an ominous premonition that breakfast might be gone in the future!

Reluctantly went into the quilt and covered his stomach and looked at the rain outside, Helan felt that she could take a little drink, alas, forget it! I fell asleep after waiting and waiting.

When he opened his eyes again, he was stabbed by the sunlight outside, and hurriedly put on his clothes and walked out of his room, and then saw Father Wu coming in from the door.

Father Wu and Wu Qingzhu both have broad shoulders, and the appearance of the two is very similar, but Father Wu's beard has grown a lot, and the whole person has lost some weight.

"Dad, are you coming back from outside?"

Father Wu held his cigarette stick, and took a puff from time to time, and his frost-stricken face still stopped and replied when he saw Helan: "Well, I don't feel at ease, so I went to take a look." ”

"Well, the crops in that field are all right."

"Fortunately, the water is not stored in the crops, and this rain is considered a timely rain, hurry up and wash up, your mother has just cooked the meal." After saying that, he went straight to the stool in the hall and sat down.

Helan knew that Wu's father would go to the field every day to look at the crops, and he didn't like to talk much, and when he had nothing to do, he liked to sit on the bench in the yard and smoke.

Every time Grandpa Wu comes out of the study, he will educate his son, of course, Helan can see from the way Wu's father continues to smoke without hurry, and he can see that Wu's father is used to it, and he probably won't take it to heart.

Wu Qingzhu was just an archer who listened to it, in fact, Grandpa Wu just saw his son's unenterprising appearance all day long.

Seeing that his son continued to smoke indifferently, Grandpa Wu also knew that his son was not reading and literate, so he could only shake his head helplessly and go back to his room.

"Your mother told me that the rain leaked on your roof, and the time was too late today, and the road was a little slippery, and when the road was better tomorrow, I would go and find some grass to make up for you."

"Thank you, Dad, you're busy first, I'll go see if my mother is done?"

After Helan helped bring the food into the house, he found that he was not the latest to get up, Qingquan just yawned and came out when he was frightened by Wu's mother's roar and ran away.

Of course, Qingmei didn't let go of her lazy younger brother, and pulling her ears was an education, "It hurts!" Sister, if you don't be gentle, be careful that Brother Qinglin doesn't want you! ”

"Cut, I'm not afraid, as long as he dares, I dare to chase him with a stick." The two sisters and brothers frolicked and washed up together and went to the dinner table, of course, the moment they entered the grandfather's realization, they immediately put away their superfluous expressions, and took the dinner and ate the dinner in a dignified manner.

"Don't run around Qingquan these days, wait for tomorrow the school will be closed for three days, and then you and your sister will follow your father and the three of them to the mountains to pick up more firewood. After this rain, it is winter, and everything that should be prepared at home must be prepared, and the old family's daughter-in-law will look at what they need to buy it back in a few days when they go to the county seat. ”

"Yes, good! Is there a shortage of Dad's clothes, pen and ink, etc.? You make a list and give it to Brother Zhu. ”

……

After this explanation was over, the people dispersed, Helan pulled Qingmei, who was going to go out, and asked, why did you start preparing things so early?

"We are very cold this winter, the county is a little far away, and you can't get out after the heavy snow closes the road, by the way, you remember to finish the embroidery work in your hand and send it to others, so as not to delay the delivery time."

"Oh, why are you going?"

"I went to Aunt Hong's house to get some persimmons, and my aunt said that the persimmons at home were ready, let me go and get them."

"Oh, then you go quickly, I'll wash the pots and dishes."

"Then don't forget to teach me how to embroider lotus flowers today, and I'll look for you when I come back."

"Got it, go ahead!"
