Chapter Eighty-Three: Hospitality

When they entered the house, several men also put their things and followed.

Liu Yaozu and Lin Zhen went to unload the ox cart and bolt the ox to the tree in the courtyard.

Liu Lianhua knew that the reunion of the Liu family and their sister and brother must have something to say, so she took the initiative to avoid it, and said that she was going to clean up the house for them, and walked out with her son.

Lin Xiaowan and Lin Zhen also said that they were going to go around, except for the house, his wife and father-in-law were gone, and Guo Chengling had no reason to stay here, saying that he was going to find his daughter-in-law, and then retreated.

Liu Yaozu chatted with her sister for a while, and asked her how she had been in the past few years, whether she was good, whether her brother-in-law was good to her, whether her mother-in-law had rubbed her, and whether something happened to the family this time or something.

Naturally, Liu will not tell his brother about those bad things now, but only say that it is good, it is good together, and her husband is good to her.

She didn't mention the pickled things that the Zhou family did, only said that they are now separated from their in-laws and live alone.

Hearing this, Liu Yaozu seemed very happy. He knew that Liu's mother-in-law was not good to her, and now when he heard that they moved out, he didn't have to bow his head to his in-laws and not look up, he was happy for his sister in his heart.

Thanks to Lin Zhen's absence at this time, there are only two people in the house, she and her younger brother, otherwise she may not feel comfortable in her heart.

Liu asked why there was no letter later.

Liu Yaozu scratched his head embarrassedly and said that he accidentally lost the address, he had a bad memory, and he couldn't remember anything later.

Xiucai, who wrote before, was sick and died, and he couldn't remember it, and after thinking about it a few times, he didn't think it was right, and he didn't send it if he remembered the wrong place.

After explaining the reason, Liu Yaozu also asked his sister why he didn't take the initiative to write to them.

Liu found an excuse to perfunctory.

She couldn't say that she thought her younger siblings didn't want them to contact her, a married girl, so she broke off the letter, and she was too embarrassed to bother too much.

The topic was quickly revealed.

Liu asked his younger brother again, "Why isn't my mother at home?" ”

Liu Yaozu didn't know where his mother had gone, so he could only guess: "Maybe go out to pick wild vegetables, before we left, she nagged that she would come back to make steamed vegetables for Chengcheng to eat, and it is estimated that she will come back in a while." ”

I have to say that Liu Yaozu guessed exactly the same score.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Grandma Wang's voice, "Chengcheng? Yaozu? Are you back? ”

Liu and Liu Yaozu hurriedly greeted them.

"Mother, look at who this is?"

"Mother!"

The two shouted in unison.

Grandma Wang stood in the courtyard, and the moment she saw Liu's in her sight, her mouth opened involuntarily.

The basket he was holding in his hand fell to the ground unconsciously, and the sudden tears in his eyes all fell down.

"Xiurong! Are you my beauty? ”

Liu couldn't hold back any longer, choked up and shouted "Mother", and pounced towards Grandma Wang.

The mother and daughter hugged each other, hugged and buried their heads and cried, Lin Xiaowan was worried that Liu's eyes would be swollen and she couldn't see it when she got up tomorrow, and how many times she cried today.

Liu and Grandma Wang cried too sadly, and Lin Xiaowan couldn't help but moisten her eyes, she quietly turned her face away and wiped away the overflowing tears with her fingers.

Guo Chengling saw it, stepped forward and hugged his wife in his arms, giving her support and comfort.

……

Crying heartyly, the mother and daughter went to the house to sit and talk for a while, and they talked about that.

How are you doing? How's it going at home? Is this Xiaowan? and so on.

Liu didn't feel impatient at all, Grandma Wang was old, and sometimes she spoke upside down, so Liu looked at her mother patiently, and the tenderness in her eyes almost overflowed.

Lin Xiaowan accompanied the two of them on the side, Lin Zhen, Guo Chengling and Liu Yaozu went to the courtyard to talk about some topics between men.

After a while, Liu Lianhua came over after making the bed, and the four women sat and chatted for a while.

Liu Lianhua stopped and asked them to sit and talk, she came to make dinner, Liu was still upset, and got up to help, Liu Lianhua hurriedly said: "Sister, don't fight with me." You haven't seen your mother for so long, and the mother and daughter must have a lot to say. I came back late today, and I didn't prepare anything, so let me, as a younger sibling, make a meal table and show my heart. ”

"We don't have any good things in the village, you and your brother-in-law don't dislike it, I'll let Yaozu buy two fish and cut some meat, let's make a good meal, and take care of you and your brother-in-law." It's too late today, so I'm going to eat if you are wronged, don't blame us for being inconsiderate. ”

Liu Shilian said, "Don't dislike it, don't dislike it", and want to help, Grandma Wang pulled her to sit down and said to her daughter: "Just let Lotus go, you can talk to me." ”

When her mother spoke, Liu was embarrassed to fight again, smiled embarrassedly at her younger siblings, and said that she had "worked hard." Liu Lianhua waved her hand again and again, "It's not hard, it's not hard, where is it." ”

I said hello to them and left with a smile.

It is said that it is coarse tea and light rice, and the dishes are much better than usual. Liu Lianhua's craftsmanship is good, a plate of fried loofah, a plate of wild vegetables and scrambled eggs, a plate of fried green peppers, a pot of baked pancakes, and a pot of pumpkin porridge are all delicious.

The table in the hall couldn't sit so many people, so Liu Yaozu, Lin Zhen, and Guo Chengling took Liu Cheng, three men and a half-grown child to the courtyard to eat.

Liu Lianhua gave them vegetables and cakes, and brought them outside with Liu, and then went back to sit down and eat her own.

After eating, Liu refused to sit still, and had to help Liu Lianhua clean up together, Liu Lianhua couldn't resist her, and her heart was full of good feelings for this sister-in-law.

After getting along this night, she could feel that the eldest sister-in-law, like her mother-in-law, is the kind of person who looks gentle and gentle, but actually has her own principles in her bones, straightforward and generous, as long as you don't touch her bottom line, it's easy to say anything.

Liu Lianhua is most afraid of the kind of careful thinking about a bunch of piles, not to mention annoying, but also to respond. It's still easier to get along with this kind of straightforwardness.

It's not that she doesn't like people who have thoughts, she just hates the kind of people who are too scheming, hide everything in their hearts, and calculate you behind their backs.

The Liu family didn't have many houses, so they cleaned up a room, and Lin Xiaowan and Liu went to the grandmother's room in the hall in the evening.

Liu Yaozu's family still lives in their own house. Guo Chengling and Lin Zhen lived in the same room where Liu Ping lived.

After a tiring day, after eating and sitting and chatting for a while, everyone dispersed and went back to sleep.

Lin Zhen and Guo Chengling were almost on the pillow, especially Lin Zhen, who snored loudly.

Liu went to the stove room to fetch a basin of hot water and brought it over to soak Grandma Wang's feet.

The candlelight was dim, and Liu sat on the stool and washed his mother's feet without disgust.

Lin Xiaowan was lying on the bed looking at them, and suddenly the string in her heart was gently plucked, and her heart was sore and swollen.

Grandma Wang sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her daughter's white-haired head, she couldn't help but turn her face away, and quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

After washing his feet, Liu took the water out and poured it, came back and turned off the lights and lay down to sleep.

In the dark, Lin Xiaowan slept in the innermost, feeling the breath of the two people, smiling and closing her eyes.

She didn't know that the expressions on the faces of Grandma Wang and Liu were similar to hers, and they all slept deeply with smiles.

A good night's sleep.

The next day, Grandma Wang woke up the earliest, and as soon as she moved twice, Liu woke up.

Seeing that her mother had woken up, Liu just wanted to speak, Grandma Wang put her finger to her mouth, made a "shhhh

Liu knew this, silently waited for his mother to get dressed, took care of himself, and carefully helped his mother out of bed.

Both of them deliberately lightened their movements, but Lin Xiaowan didn't notice it, and she still slept deeply.

Out of the hall, Liu Lianhua had already risen, and was pouring washing water in the courtyard.

Seeing that the eldest sister-in-law and mother-in-law were up, he greeted them with a smile.

"Sister Xiurong, mother, why do you get up so early, why don't you sleep more?"

Liu smiled at her, and quickly gave the two of them face wash, while replying to her, "I feel less when I get older, and I can't sleep when I get to the point." Why do my younger siblings get up so early? ”
