Chu Jianniang brought the porridge to the table, one bowl per person. Father Wei saw the water at the bottom of the clear soup, and his eyebrows couldn't help frowning, "Is there no rice at home?" ”

Chu Jianniang didn't reply yet, but Liu grabbed her mouth, "Isn't it a banquet for Da Lang's daughter-in-law, and it costs money, and it's good to have a drink this winter." ”

Jiang Feng and Jiang Yu on the other two sides didn't speak, and drank the rice soup into their stomachs, saying that they were full, and before Chu Jianniang sat down, the two of them left the table one after another.

Looking at the roundness and mellowness raised by these two brothers and sisters, with a pair of thoughtful eyes, it is strange that this bit of rice soup can make them full. It's all about something in my heart, so I swallowed the dates and left the table without saying a word.

In the end, Liu still pretended, picked a chopstick pickle, stirred it in the rice soup, and ate a bowl of it.

"There is no rice in this house, wait for Da Lang to come back and talk to him, let him go to the private school and come back, bring back two catties of rice. Vegetables or something, now it's spring, just go to the back mountain to shave some wild vegetables. ”

Chu Jianniang knew that this was said to her, and nodded, "Got it, mother." ”

"Just get it, I'm full. You have to go to the back mountain to see if you can plow the land, and by the way, you can tidy up the land, and start spring planting. Liu wiped his mouth.

When Wei's father heard this, he felt very sorry for their mothers, two years ago, he fell down the slope with water, broke his leg, and recuperated for more than half a month.

No matter how he said that his wife, who had come over from the strings, was not good or slammed the door, but it was not for this family? Reasoning, Father Wei is distressed and conniving at them.

"Forget it, Jiao Niang, don't eat it, let's go to the field and have a look." The old man didn't let go of his chopsticks, and waved her out with a wave of his hand.

Chu Jianniang paused for chopsticks, and was just about to respond, Liu Shi was startled behind his ears, turned his head and hurriedly interrupted: "No need, those two little rabbit cubs don't know where to go, there is no one at home, just let Jiao Niang take care of you at home, I just went to the field to take a look, half an hour's business." Jiao Niang, wash your clothes at home. ”

Chu Jianniang responded, "Oh, good." ”

"Then I'll go."

With a good face, a group of kind, and a good mother-in-law, Liu persuaded them to stay at home and went out by themselves.

Father Wei didn't have time to stop and shout, looking at the mother and son door to go out every morning, busy working in the field outside, and his heart became more and more unhappy. Almost wiping his face is a handful of bitter tears.

The old man attaches great importance to Liu's attitude towards them, and Chu Jianniang also sees it in his eyes, if he wants to say that Liu's is going to plow in the field, Chu Jianniang is not without the eyesight to see that he will not take the work into his own hands to help, and he calculates that their mother and son will continue to go out, and there must be something total. At this time, wouldn't she be involved in their good deeds? That's why I didn't speak.

Thinking about it, what can she do, is Liu still afraid of missing her? How can you be so kind? But lest she gossip at home, Chu Jianniang answered in the end:

"Dad, you will be at home later, I will clean up, go to my mother's side to have a look, and come back with some wild vegetables by the way."

"Okay, there you go." Father Wei nodded, thought about something, and said: "I took you to the Wei family, I also hope that you can help the Wei family, don't let your mother-in-law be tired." ”

"Got it, Dad."

"Hmm."

The family married this daughter-in-law and came back, saying that they were happy or not, and it was okay to say that they were not happy, mainly because Wei Dalang was in his twenties, and it was time to marry. According to the rules, if the eldest in the family does not marry, the younger brothers and sisters behind cannot marry, so they just find one back.

After eating, Chu Jianniang cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and went to the river to wash the clothes, fortunately, after the rain in the morning, the warm spring sun came out, just enough to dry the clothes outside the yard, and the mood of the people was better.

After working for half a morning, Chu Jianniang carried the bamboo basket to the back mountain without stopping. When I went up to the back of the house, I happened to meet Liu and Jiang Feng and Jiang Yu coming down from the back mountain, and they were talking and laughing, and they were very happy.

"Mother, little uncle, little sister." Chu Jianniang greeted her.

The smiling faces of the three of Liu's Jiang Feng and Jiang Yu suddenly converged when they saw the people coming up the mountain.

Liu Shi had a hint of being a thief, and coughed intentionally, "I'll go and see in the field, it's not yet time to plow the field, and it will take a while, so you don't have to go." ”

"Okay, then I won't go to the ground, just go to the mountains to pick some mushrooms and wild vegetables."

"Hey, go ahead."

"Then mother, you go back first." Chu Jianniang gave way to the side path.

Jiang Feng was the first to pass by her, and turned around with a playful look.

A few people came down, and after watching Chu Jianniang walk away, Jiang Feng teased very much: "I think this woman is stupid, don't we have to avoid her?" ”

Liu Shi rolled his eyes: "This woman's Tonggong has only been here for a few days, you can see the temperament, what if you are good in your heart?" You haven't seen her clean the house in the past few days, and there is not a single hair on the floor. Fortunately, I didn't let her clean up in my house, and maybe I could have turned over our hidden private assets. ”

"That's right, brother, you can't look at the surface, we still have to hide the matter of opening a small stove outside." Jiang Yu's fifteen-year-old girl echoed.

Speaking of this, Liu felt a little ashamed in his heart, "It's a pity that your father suffered." ”

"Didn't our father die a long time ago?" Jiang Yu was surprised.

"I'm talking about the old man of the Wei family, who has taken care of our ladies for so many years."

"Then next time, why don't we improve the food? Don't talk about adding meat, just add a fresh dish. Jiang Feng made an opinion.

Liu nodded, "It should be improved, but it can't be improved much, if Wei Dalang knows that the family eats good rice and good dishes, and the food expenses, he will definitely not give more." ”

Several people combined.

Chu Jianniang took a sickle to cut the weeds that stood in the way, after a spring rain, the wild mushrooms in the pine forest grew quickly, and she was not the only one who carried a basket to look for wild mushrooms in the mountains. Women gathered in groups not far away, pulling the elders of the house.

"When you went up the mountain just now, did you see the Liu family of the Wei family?" A woman not far away said.

The person who followed next to him immediately continued, "I've seen it, I've seen it, it's been many times, every time I take her two cubs on the edge of Qingshui Ditch, set up a pot to stew meat!" The fragrance has wafted for miles. ”

"Tsk, how many mothers are here, if you say a word or two in front of people, you are shouting that you are poor and can't eat, but you will open a small stove for yourself, and the old man of the Wei family may still think that this mother-in-law who has come over is so poor and hard?"

"It's not, if you want to talk about his Wei family, there is really no one who is a good person, not to mention the old man Wei, it is that Wei Dalang, a nerd, who goes out in the morning and comes back at night, how do you know what is going on at home. The daughter-in-law who is married back now is also a simple woman who can't hold the house. ”

"Don't say it, it's true. I didn't take the initiative to say a few words, so much so that I looked like a dumb person. ”

"You mean, right?"
