Chapter 5 Family

Helan heard a knock at the kitchen door and saw Wu Qingzhu standing at the door against the light.

Because of the backlight, the whole person I saw was a little dark, and the first thing I noticed was the broad shoulders.

Helan thought about it, most of the scholars she saw in her dream were thin chickens, they couldn't lift their shoulders and feet, and they might fall down if they took a few steps, it was still rare to see someone as strong as Wu Qingzhu, at least Helan felt that He Rumo should not have seen it.

"Let's go, grandpa let me go over and meet the family." Looking at the stupid appearance of this woman who was his little daughter-in-law, Wu Qingzhu really wanted to take a bite of that round little face, and then rub her long and flowing hair.

In a blink of an eye, I saw my sister looking at her eyes while picking up the rice, and she still held back her thoughts.

Helan hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand and tidied up his clothes, and walked out of the kitchen to follow Wu Qingzhu to the main hall.

When I arrived at the place, I saw that there were two large tables in the house, the men were in the front row, the women were in the back row, most of the meals were placed in the front row, and the women put two plates of vegetables in the middle, and one person was holding a piece of dough cake in his hand, and there was a bowl of porridge in the bowl.

Wu Qingzhu, who arrived at the place, picked up a bowl of wine and led Helan to the front of the older generation to toast: "This is our grandfather, second grandfather, and second grandfather's Uncle Haisheng, this is cousin Qingjiang; This is Uncle Haishan, Uncle Haishan's cousin Qinghe, this is the second grandmother, Aunt Hong, the aunt of Uncle Haisheng's family, and Aunt Wang of Uncle Haishan's family. ”

Because the introduction was too fast, Helan had no choice but to say hello and kept bowing her head to say hello. After walking around, Helan finally raised her head, and really felt that the population of this ancient family was really a lot, and her neck was sore.

"This is my daughter-in-law who has not passed the door, her name is Helan, and the second grandmother also said it just now, because now the wedding will be held for a year. After that, if there is someone in the village who doesn't understand, or does something wrong, our own family must say that we must take care of it. ”

It is said that there is no such link today, or Wu's mother thought about adding it, in order to recognize people for her family. What if this girl runs away while no one is at home in the future? If you see it, you can let the big guy know that this is the daughter-in-law of his brother Zhu.

After everyone was full, they all said hello one by one and dispersed, but Aunt Hong stayed behind to help clean up the table and pots and bowls, of course, Helan was kicked out of the kitchen, Wu's mother's original words were to say something considerate to her aunt.

There is a room in the yard, usually put some sundries, clean up although it is smaller, only living in Helan is enough.

The sky will be five or six o'clock, and the autumn will be bright at five or six o'clock, and under the arrangement of Wu's father, Helan will be arranged in this room next to the courtyard gate. I haven't lived in the house for a long time, and there are a lot of miscellaneous items and agricultural products in the house, as well as firewood for the fire.

Looking at the things in the house, Helan was a little at a loss, and she didn't know where to start. Wu Qingzhu, who was about to enter the house, saw Helan at the door, and then remembered that the house was a mess with a lot of sundries, and after thinking about it, his younger brother, who had already entered the house by one foot, dragged him to the front of Helan.

"You go to the yard for a while first, let us men do this, and then you can come and clean up when we finish moving." Wu Qingzhu couldn't help but smile when he looked at Helan who was taken aback, and couldn't help but think in his heart: You are so timid.

After all, these guys in the house use all the momentum, and it is inconvenient for Helan to come in from time to time to get things.

Thinking of this floor, Wu Qingzhu and his younger brother put all the things that they often used at home into the thatched shed in the yard. The food that was just recovered was moved to the east wing of my father's house, which is a year's food for my family, and it is the lifeblood of the family.

The most is the firewood at home, which will be used in the next few days, and it will be stacked in the kitchen first, and those that can't be put can only be piled up in the yard, and then find something to cover.

There weren't many things left, and there was no need for Wu Qingzhu to say anything, Helan began to work on his own.

Speaking of Helan, she likes to organize things the most, sorting things together and then placing them neatly, which is also one of her hobbies.

After cleaning the house, I felt that the space was much larger, and I saw that there was now a bed missing in the house.

"So where do I sleep at night?" Helan didn't think she should be allowed to lay the floor, but when she just swept the floor, she saw a lot of insects.

Wu Qingzhu thought about it, and there seemed to be no extra bed at home, so he was a little anxious, is this a hurry to let his little daughter-in-law sleep underground today? Looking at the sky that was about to darken, Wu Qingzhu could only decide to go to his father.

"Aren't you stupid to read? Your daughter-in-law can only live in that house for a year, and you plan to make her a bed? Are you planning to move in that house as your new home? "What does this son think? The daughter-in-law brought it back and wanted to get a boudoir for others.

Knowing that his son was stupid, Wu's father could only come out of the house and go to his father's room in the main hall and walked: "Dad, I will take away the few planks under your bed and give them to the eldest daughter-in-law." ”

"Well, take it first, remember to take good care of it, these pieces are good wood, and they will be used to make new beds in the future."

Wu Qingzhu, who was following closely behind, heard his grandfather's promise, and followed his father to move the planks.

The wooden planks found the shelves of the beds that were missing now, but grandpa said that these boards were to be kept to make new beds, but they didn't have the courage to dismantle this and make a bed.

In the end, the brothers found a few flat stones outside the courtyard wall and spread them on the ground, and then found straw pads to put on uneven places, and laid the planks flat to be considered a bed.

"Brother, this is the wormwood that my mother asked me to find outside, so you can smoke the house." At this time, Qingmei, who was summoned out by Wu's mother after eating, also came back with a bundle of branches and wormwood.

"I said why didn't I see you for a while, it turned out that I went out to look for wormwood, I thank you for your sister-in-law."

"What does the family say thank you for, little brother, you put these branches and leaves in the kitchen, and I am tired all the way." In the past two years, Qingmei has not done any work, every day is to manage a few chickens and a few pigs at home, and the rest of the time is to sew and mend the family's clothes, and practice female embroidery and embroidery without clothes, and the clothes at home are also washed by the little girl alone.

At first, Qingmei looked down on this sister-in-law who was bought by her brother, and always felt that she was inferior to herself in terms of identity.

Later, I heard that my sister-in-law also grew up in the official family, and she was also pampered, if it wasn't for the loneliness at home and the uncle and aunt who didn't know the goods, and sold her brother, she might not be able to marry like this. In the eyes of the little girl, she felt that at least she had knowledge before, she grew up with the official lady and grew up breastfeeding, and her education and insight were much stronger than those of them rural women.

Thinking so, the little girl happily took the old quilt brought by her mother and made the bed with Helan and cleaned it up.

"This is the clothes you wore when you came, I have washed them, but I saw a few shabby places that are a little too big to sew and not easy to sew, so I didn't help you sew them."

"Thanks, I can do it myself, do you have a needle and thread that you can lend me to use?"

"Yes, I'll give it to you." It is always easy to agree on the affection between little girls, and it will be a good joke.

The two brothers who helped clean up didn't know what to do, a twenty-year-old man was 1.75 meters tall, and the other was 141.6 meters tall. Both of them were there, just blocking the door

"Why are you stunned? Isn't it going to smoke the house with wormwood? Qingmei looked at the two big pillars blocking the door, which were particularly eye-catching, and there was no way to pass.

Qingquan felt very innocent, he was about to go out to play with his friends, but he was pulled back by his brother to do work for half a day, and now he is disgusted by his sister, it's really difficult!

"You guys don't go out and talk so happily here, how can I do it for the two of me?"

"Stinky boy, dare to be fierce to your sister! Then you told me no and it was over! Hurry up and do what! Qingmei patted her brother and turned her head and pulled Helan out of the door.

"Sister-in-law, go to my house first, you have to wait for a meeting before you can enter, and you can come in when you mend your clothes."

Qingmei pulled her brother to open her brother to have a way to go, and when she went out, the two little girls didn't notice that there was a plank under their feet and they were tripped, Qingmei's instinctive reaction was to grab her brother who was closest to her, but fortunately she didn't fall. The bad thing is that Qingquan's clothes are torn and there is a long gap.

It's still a big piece, the clothes in the countryside are mainly gray, and the fabrics are all cotton and linen, and this tearing piece of clothing is ugly with mending, and the angry fourteen young man dropped the wormwood in his hand and went to find his mother.

It's a bit difficult to do now, although Wu's mother is relatively peaceful, and she is a little angry when she sees her son's clothes like this. Although his own life is better than that of other families, he is not so rich that he can say that he throws a piece of clothing and throws a piece of clothing, so he rushed over with the broom in the house.

Qingmei instinctively dodged, and this broom gave the stunned Helan a hard beat, and now everyone in the courtyard was stunned. The reversal was so fast that everyone present was shocked!

Frightened, Wu's mother hurriedly threw the broom and came over to see Helan, and Wu Qingzhu, who heard the movement in the house, also came out to see the situation.

"Helan? Are you okay? Does it hurt? Yes? ”

"It's okay, Wu ...... Mother, I'm fine. "It's all fake to say that it doesn't hurt, and it's because I can't make a sound.

"Is it really okay? If you have something, you must say it. ”

In fact, how can it not hurt? It's just that I can't feel so much when I feel a lot of pain. After this happened, the family didn't have any interest and packed up and went back to the house, Helan sat at the door at the moment and waited for the smell of wormwood in the house to dissipate before entering the house, Wu's mother just called Qingmei and Qingquan into the house, and it is estimated that a scolding is indispensable.
