Chapter 23: Go to the Ye family
Finally arrived at the Ye family without danger, there were only two old people, aunts, four young nephews and pregnant fourth cousins at home, and those who went out to do private work, some went up the mountain to chop wood, and some ran out to play.
"Grandpa, grandma, aunt, fourth cousin." Fortunately, there are not many people here, and when there are usually people, every time I even say hello, it takes a few minutes, and I am tired to death.
Grandpa Ye nodded gently, did not speak, and was still the same machismo; Grandma Ye looked at Wormwood lovingly and said, "Little sister is back?" When did you get home? ”
"I just got home yesterday, I'm not afraid that you will miss me, hurry up and come over to show you!" Wormwood hugged Grandma Ye and coaxed her to smile from ear to ear.
"Think about it, I know that grandma and grandpa miss you, you ghost girl don't know how to come to the house to see?"
"Mother, don't talk nonsense yet, let's go into the house quickly! Let's put things down first, the heavy ones are going to die. "Mrs. Ji can't wait, see you every day anyway, there's nothing to say, finish the business early, go home early, keep it for yourself, there are still a lot of things to do!
"I told my little sister, what's the matter with you, I won't go in? What did you take? Grandma Ye couldn't help but say, she still got up and went back to the hall together.
Wormwood also went to the hall, put down the bamboo basket, and hurried out of the storm circle, she was too small to withstand the wind and rain, and let her mother and grandmother do those things by themselves.
"Big girl, second strong, third strong, come here, Aunt Wormwood has good things for you." Wormwood looked at the four little ones playing in the yard.
The second cousin-in-law is a bit patriarchal, and she generally doesn't care about the two daughters, so what the four-year-old girl does, she carries her one-year-old sister Erniu on her back.
Wormwood peeled three white rabbit toffees and put them into the mouths of the three little ones......
"How? Is it tasty? ”
The three little heads nodded frequently, but they were reluctant to speak, for fear that the sugar in their mouths would run away; The top two and three are male dolls, and the probability of eating candy is relatively high, and the big girl can only eat one during the New Year, which is all fruit candy, compared with toffee, one day and one place, they have never eaten such delicious candy.
The three small faces, all squinting and intoxicated, feel that they are eating the world's top delicious.
"Ah...... Yes...... Ahh
The eldest girl didn't say a word, she took out the candy and wanted to put it in the second girl's mouth, but a hand stretched out next to her and grabbed her, and turned her head in fear to see that it was Aunt Wormwood, and she breathed a sigh of relief, she thought it was......
"The second girl is too small, it will get stuck in the throat, you eat it yourself." The eldest girl looked at the toffee in her hand, and then looked at the second girl, such a delicious toffee, it was too pitiful for the second girl to eat it.
Wormwood looked at her dilemma, it was funny and sad, but she had a wife, grandparents, and parents, and she was just an aunt, so there was really nothing she could do to change their current situation.
Wormwood took out 8 more toffees from her pocket (actually from the farm) and gave two to each of the two boys and four to the big girl......
"Two per person, the extra two are the second girl's, the big girl, you let Aunt Xiao Tao or the adult help you, melt the toffee with boiling water, and then feed the second girl coldly, don't give the second girl to eat directly! Remember? "I don't dare to say that I want her mother to help, even if I don't have much contact with it, I probably know what kind of virtue the second cousin is, and let her know that the sugar in the girl's hand can't be kept.
Although the eldest girl is young, she also knows that her mother doesn't like the two sisters, and his father doesn't care about anything, and he can't be trusted.
The second girl has been in charge of the big girl since she was born, if she wasn't there at her age, it would be proper to raise the second girl as a girl, so I want to leave some good things in my hand to her, I hope that the second girl will not live up to it in the future, and the big girl's hard work will be a white-eyed wolf.
The second and third strong, don't look at their young age, they have long understood that no one in the family is the same thing as being a big girl and a second girl, this time seeing that she has so much sugar in her hand, she wants to snatch it away.
Wormwood saw their thoughts and said: "Two strong and three strong, you can't rob my sister's things, if you let Aunt Wormwood know, Aunt Wormwood won't like you in the future, and she won't give you candy to eat!" ”
The two and three strong were a little stunned when they heard Wormwood's words, the family never cared about them robbing the girl, but they didn't expect it...... Look at the candy in your hand, and look at the sugar in the girl's place, it's a pity, nodding, indicating that you won't grab it (it's so heartbroken, I can't open my mouth).
"Yo~ Little sister is back from the city? Is it fun? Where's your mother? The second aunt heard the old ladies in the village say that Xiulan came back and carried two bamboo baskets, and she was afraid that she would suffer if she was not at home, so she rushed back.
"Second aunt, are you back? My mother and grandmother are in the hall! Wormwood knew that the second aunt wanted to ask the latter sentence the most, and the one in front was incidental, and she didn't have the heart to know it now, so she didn't answer.
The second aunt didn't wait for Wormwood to finish speaking, and couldn't wait to enter the hall.
"Shirwon's back? Why are you so polite and bring things back? ”
"Yo~ This flower cloth is so soft to the touch, and the price is very expensive, right?"
……
Since the second aunt entered the hall, she has only heard her performing alone, but fortunately, everyone is used to it, and she is not a person who does not know what to do, but the family is poor, and Grandma Ye is eccentric, so she is afraid of suffering.
However, for things, in this case, Wormwood is happy to see it, after all, her mother does not want to see her aunt, and Grandma Ye is partial to her aunt, I am really afraid that when the time comes, the gifts to several uncles and aunts will be given to the aunt, and if Ji Lao Niang knows at that time, it is estimated that she will be angry.
And now, if the second aunt knows about it, it is basically impossible to secretly give it to the eldest aunt, and the second aunt will definitely obstruct it in every possible way.
——————
Knock Knock ...... Knock knock ...... "Anyone?" Shirley? Are you there? ”
Several men in the family are practicing in their own houses except for eating, even Wormwood is cultivating and studying medicine on their own farms, only Ji Lao Niang is dispensable and not very interested in cultivation, but for her good health, every morning and evening, Wormwood forces her to practice together for two hours, and at other times, she can play freely.
~ Ji Lao Niang will hoe the grass in the backyard, someone knocked on the door in the front yard, but no one heard it, and finally Xiao Zhi reminded the wormwood......
"Who?"
"Wormwood, huh? I'm your twelve-...... wife."
"Mrs. Twelve, why are you here? My mother is in the backyard, you sit down, I'll call her. Wormwood led her to the hall and sat down, and poured her a glass of sugar water, after all, she was an elder, and it was rare to come here, so she had to be entertained.
After doing these things, I went to the backyard to call her mother.
Grandma Twelve quietly, looking at a series of movements of wormwood, nodded secretly, this girl was raised by her mother really well, and the leftover baby (Ye Shoujun's nickname) is blessed.
"Twelve grandmothers, why are you here?" After washing her hands from the front yard, Mrs. Ji walked into the hall and asked while taking an old towel behind the door to wipe her hands.
The twelfth grandmother looked behind Ji Lao Niang, and saw that the wormwood did not follow up, so she said honestly: "I am here to help the leftover baby of your fifth brother's family, and I am here to find out the wind." ”
Probe the wind? Leftover babies? Ji Lao Niang was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that it was the defender mentioned by Wormwood, although her heart was sour and uncomfortable, but she had already said it, and she was no longer hypocritical.
"I've already passed the gas, I didn't expect that they invited you." Ji Lao Niang didn't have much spiritual qi.
As a person who has come over, Grandma Twelve understands Ji Lao Niang's mood very well, but this time she is helping people and achieving happy events, so she always has to pick some advantages to talk about.
"Don't feel bad, although the leftover baby is adopted, but we elders have watched it grow up, since childhood, love and righteousness, good learning, not afraid of no interest, and they are all in the same village, knowing the roots; The most important point is that the babies are still young, and they can slowly cultivate their feelings, we all know that if there is a relationship, this man will protect it, which is stronger than anything else, plus it will be several years away from adulthood! There's no need to rush. ”
"I know it, but I'm still upset...... "Ji Lao Niang has long figured out that this family business is indeed one in a hundred.
"Do you have any other requirements? Mention it more, so that he can pay more attention to our daughter. "If Fifth Father Ye hears this, he must ask-where are you? Do you remember which side you represented? Mutiny, perhaps?
"Let them watch it! We are not selling our daughters, no matter how much bride price money is in the future, let her take it back to her in-law's house with a lot, and the family will also prepare a dowry for her. "As for how much dowry or something, I won't go into details, if it is known, it will be an eye disease.
"It's just that you love your daughters, and people will keep some of them, not to mention those patriarchal families...... Hey~" Grandma Twelve sighed with emotion as she spoke......
"What's wrong? Who sold their daughters again? "I don't think I've heard of it!
"Anyway, you're not the kind of person with a fast mouth, I'll talk to you, it's from Oda Village, it's a relative of my mother's family, in fact, there is a girl in the family, but my father is patriarchal, that girl really has nothing to say, at a young age, she is a leader outside the family, this will be the age of marriage, his father let out the words, whoever pays more money will sell it to whom, this does not let her father sell to the city, to be a stepmother, that man is about the same age as her father, but a city person, has a formal job, it's a pity...... ”
"How did I hear that our Tang Kingdom has now established a women's association? It seems that it is a female comrade who is specially managed and gets unfair treatment, but the girl didn't think to react? ”
"The girl said forget it, it can be regarded as returning their lives, and in the future, the bridge will return to the bridge and the road will return to the road, and the family will also break off, and she must be heartbroken by her family."
"Mmmm~ That girl is quite decisive, this is also a road, if you keep kissing, according to her father's virtue, she will have to lie on her stomach to suck blood in the future, so that there is really no way to live, I just hope that her mother-in-law's family can be counted, but don't just go into the wolf's den and enter the tiger's mouth."
"Uh...... People in the city won't be so unsophisticated, right? ”
"Don't worry about the city and village, the same rice raises hundreds of people, there are people who are not particular."
"The girl has already entered the city, things have come to this point, there is no room for manoeuvre, I hope she is lucky! Oops~ Oops! How did I go to the edge of the sky, I'm sorry, when people are old, they like to talk about it......"
