CHAPTER XXXIX
In the end, Caihe, who had a slightly unhealthy temperament, led Xiaoshan to the door to play, while Cairu rolled up her sleeves and really began to help the eldest sister who was boiling bone broth to light the fire.
"Mother, aunt and aunt......" At the door, he was playing with the mountain to pick a lotus, and suddenly opened his mouth sweetly.
The heart of Aunt Lu and Aunt Ma is hot.
The two of them responded in succession, and looked at Wang by the way and said, "Don't say anything else, just say that you have this sensible girl by your side, it is a great blessing." There is still a long way to go, you can look at it, the old Lin family will definitely be the most blessed for you in the end. ”
This can be regarded as talking about Wang's heart, maybe she has lived a quiet life for a few days, which makes her feel that her life has a head. Or maybe it was the words of self-reliance and self-improvement that Lin Baoru instilled in her every day that worked, although her face is still yellow, but when she looks at her own thin and weak children, she is no longer sad and uncomfortable.
She answered, sighed and said, "I don't want to be happy or not, I just have to guard a few children in the future." ”
Aunt Lu and Aunt Ma obviously also remembered about Baoru's family affairs, and immediately sighed. I don't know what this is, a good girl, how did she give it to someone with such a temperament in a daze.
It's like a daughter who was sold to the Liu family as a daughter-in-law by the Liu family with a dowry, and before she entered the door, she lowered herself at her in-law's house. In addition, the Liu family raised such a son, and it is not a good thing to think about it. If they become married, not to mention how the mother-in-law will treat this daughter-in-law, even the young master of the Liu family is afraid that he will not be able to be a daughter-in-law.
said that it didn't hurt the daughter-in-law, but it was light. If it's not light or heavy, maybe a good girl will live a good life.
In short, in their opinion, Baoru entering the door of the Liu family is like falling into a wolf's den, and she can't get a good death anymore.
Lin Baoru didn't know what they thought, let alone knew that she had become a pitiful person in the hearts of several people. But even if she knew, I'm afraid she would sneer indifferently.
After all, in her heart, life is all about people. Not to mention that in her opinion, Liu Shulai is just a little deviant, and his nature is really not a bad person.
Even if Liu Shulai is evil, as long as she can be open-minded, she still doesn't believe that she can't find a way out.
After Lin Baoru boiled the bones, she also walked towards the door, "Auntie, aunt......" she said a little embarrassed, "Originally, my mother said that she didn't want you to bother, but seeing that the sky has changed, several members of our family are still wearing cold-resistant clothes......"
Before she finished speaking, Aunt Lu waved her hand and said, "Look at what you say, our folks in the township are not bad at walking in the past, what kind of trouble can you bother to make a needle?" ”
Aunt Ma on the side naturally followed suit.
"Then auntie, I'll give you a hand. It just so happens that I'm starting to make lunch now, and you can't leave for a while, so you'll have to stay for a meal. Lin Baoru said with a smile.
Of course, she also had to sincerely thank Aunt Lu again, "You can't shirk, Aunt Ma has helped us a lot, I was sick before, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to wake up." Auntie too, in the past, our two families were far away and didn't move around much, but if it wasn't for your protection the day before yesterday, I'm afraid that my mother and I would have to be bullied. ”
This can be regarded as a love, and it makes people's hearts feel very good.
The two of them looked at Wang and couldn't help but praise a few more words.
To make cotton clothes, it is natural not to get on the kang. First, the place is bigger, and secondly, there is less cool air than the ground.
Aunt Lu asked Lin Baoru to beckon a few small ones to come in, and a few people took the fabric and compared the size for a long time, and cut it after setting the outline.
Cai Ru knew that this was to make new clothes for herself, and she was very happy. Especially Caihe, when he saw the material of the pink flower under Aunt Lu's hand being cut, he couldn't help grinning.
And Cai Ru is too, smiling and helping Aunt Lu and Aunt Ma thread the needle. From time to time, he helped Wang divide the line. The joy couldn't be suppressed, which made Aunt Lu and Aunt Ma have a good joke.
Wang's eyes were so bad that when he put down the stitches, he had to tilt his head and face the material directly at the window. Then the brightness on the outside can sew the padded jacket strongly.
With Aunt Lu and Aunt Ma's hand, the servants completed three things in the first place. And Lin Baoru and Lin Mancang's are already out of shape, just need to connect the sleeves again.
Lin Baoru, who helped a few people lay out the covers, thought that it was almost noon, so she informed the Wang family, and did not give Aunt Lu and Aunt Ma a chance to excuse herself, turned around and left the house.
A few people in the house looked through the window and watched her work neatly on the stove, so they looked at Wang with disgust and said: "Now I am idle at home today, and it is not difficult to make cotton clothes, where can I stay and eat!" ”
If it takes a lot of effort, it makes sense to take things or eat. This matter of sewing clothes cross-legged on the kang is really not too busy in the eyes of Aunt Lu and Aunt Ma.
That is, I did it by the way.
The big guys all live in the same village, and now they have some friendships, so if they can take a hand, they naturally have to take a hand.
Wang put down the needle and thread in his hand and rubbed his somewhat sore eyes, and said with a smile: "What my sister-in-law said is obvious, but I came to visit the door, can't I stay for a meal?" As she spoke, she remembered what her own Baoru said about Aunt Ma, so she said, "In the past, I was never close to the Ma family's sister, but we really made friends, and I knew that what Baoru said was true." The sister of the Ma family is a warm-hearted person, and the words she learned in the Baoru School are...... What is jealousy? ”
She thought about it for a long time, but she didn't remember how to say that sentence, and she was a little embarrassed for a while.
Lying on the edge of the cotton pile, playing with the lotus picking on the hill, he tilted his head and thought about it, and said in a childish but confident voice: "What the eldest sister said is that jealousy is like hatred, and righteousness is spoken!" ”
As soon as I heard this, it was a good thing, and I praised Aunt Ma so much that she smiled and couldn't see her teeth.
"The eldest sister also said that Aunt Ma is a know-it-all in our village, and she knows everything, which is more useful than the list of the county government outside." Xiaoshan poked his little head out of Caihe's arms, shook his head like a little adult, and said what his eldest sister had taught him before.
Aunt Ma was coaxed by Xiaoshan's words, and leaned back and smiled straight away. She sewed two more stitches on the work on her hands, and said: "What a little clever ghost, Bao Ru Niang, look at you caring children, you really envy the dead person." ”
Speaking of which, her family also has children, but the family is poor, and the eldest son has become a son-in-law and can't come back all year round.
The second son went to the town restaurant to work as a chore, and he didn't have to worry about food and clothing, but it took a long time to come back for a day. Especially at the end of the year, when the restaurant is the busiest, there is no way to come back from leave.
As for the third son, he just went to join his second brother a few days ago, and now he hasn't asked anyone to bring a letter back.
The daughter of the family has only been married for two months, and people say that they have a body, but they are young and have a big reaction, and they are afraid that the bumps on the road will startle the fetus, so it is estimated that they will not be able to come back this year.
Now, she and the old man were left in the courtyard, so that she always felt that her days were suddenly empty. Even if you kill a pig and eat meat with your own man, you don't feel like it's tasteful.
I came to the Lin family to help today, mainly to pass the time. Unexpectedly, these girls and their youngest son of the Lin family had mouths as if they had been smeared with honey, which made her like them in her heart.
With Xiaoshan's tone, the atmosphere in the house is even more lively. And the topic of the Wang family has also shifted from talking about the things of the Lao Lin family to the gossip of other people's families in the village.
"The Dongzi of our village has been honest these days, I heard that a few days ago he went to Xiashuitun to steal chickens, and he was almost beaten by the man in that household."
"He's not honest, he's a thief but not a thief. I saw him wandering around the village a few days ago, and the fire bubbles in the corners of his mouth were almost rotten......" After Aunt Ma finished speaking, as if she remembered something, she said to Wang, "I look at your second child, and I am muttering things with Dongzi all day long, but don't think about any bad tricks!" ”
The Wang family is what Aunt Ma said about Dongzi, not a wicked person, but a lazy master.
When his mother was still alive, she wanted to find a family for him, but who knew that he couldn't get married, and a person would not be hungry when he was full, and he was not willing to endure hardships to support his family.
Later, when his mother was gone, he became a complete idler. Not only did he sell his family's land, but he also often stole some other people's belongings.
It's just that no one has ever caught him red-handed, so although the people in the village don't have a good impression of him, they won't poke him in the face.
Wang frowned a little worriedly, "What bad things can he ponder, I'm a poor and white, I'm afraid it's cleaner than his pocket." ”
As for the bad things on the side, I guess he won't be able to do it. Otherwise, it won't make people say it's mud behind their backs.
Aunt Lu thought for a while, shook her head and said, "Maybe the big house is the object that the family gave you." After a pause, she said, "In this way, my eldest daughter-in-law has just caught two wolf dog cubs from her mother's house, and after two days, I will bring one to you, and raise it for ten days, and you can take care of it." ”
Not to mention the care of the house, at least the wolf dog is clever, but if there is a wind and grass, it can give people a movement. The Wang family, who also took the three daughters of the province, was frightened in the future.
Originally, the Wang family didn't think about raising living things, and if they did, they had to be fed, otherwise she wouldn't hesitate to let Cairu raise a few chickens and ducks. But now listening to what Aunt Ma said to Aunt Lu, she was a little shaken in her heart.
Cai Ru listened to Aunt Lu's words, looked at her mother with big eyes for a moment, and the corners of her mouth were tightly pursed, for fear that her mother would refuse.
In fact, she also wants to raise a dog, and when the dog grows up, she can protect her family, her sister and younger brother.
Wang saw that several small people around him were looking at themselves, and then remembered what Aunt Lu was worried about, and his heart was a little up, so he immediately nodded in response to Aunt Lu's words, "Then it will be troublesome sister-in-law." ”
"What's the matter?" Aunt Lu waved her hand, rubbed her hair with a pillow, and then sewed the sleeves of her cotton coat on her hands.
