2. Mo family
A sturdy buffalo pulled the cart and parked slowly at the gate of the small courtyard, leaning on the cart against an old man with gray hair and a slightly tired look, the old man looked sluggish, but his eyes were very bright.
The ox cart was followed by two sturdy men and a peasant woman.
"Dad, when you get home, I'll help you into the house to rest first." Mo Youquan stretched out his hand to help Father Mo get out of the ox cart, and slowly helped the old man into the small courtyard and big house.
After entering the house, he did not forget to shout to his daughter-in-law and younger brother in the yard: "Second brother, you pull the ox cart back to the shed behind you, and remember to feed some forage." Osmanthus hurriedly prepared dinner, so tossed, Dad is also hungry, you prepare more good food to make up for Daddy's body. ”
Wu Guihua answered the words and went directly to the kitchen, Mo Yougen also led the ox around to the back of the yard, the ox cart was too big to go in through the back door. There are either chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep in the backyard of this countryman's house, or cattle are raised, so the back door is often made bigger.
After Wu Guihua entered the kitchen, her face darkened directly, and she threw the basket in her hand aside with a shake of her hand, and burned the fire angrily. The eldest daughter-in-law of the Mo family, Wu, is stingy, and because she was very poor when she was in her mother's family, she became very greedy for money.
Wu's face was black and indignant, the second daughter-in-law didn't do any tiring work like an eldest lady every day, and said that she would take care of it at home, which would not allow her to cook, not to mention that the slut still mocked her every day.
The little sick seedlings left by the third child made her even more angry, not only did she have to take care of three meals a day every day, but also had to serve her laundry and feeding, and even spent a lot of money at home to treat her. Thinking of the silver in vain, the Wu family was even more angry. If it weren't for Daddy Mo having to keep this medicine jar, she would have thrown that little broom star out a long time ago.
But the family's money is in the hands of Daddy Mo, the father and mother are not separated, Wu Songguo's filial piety comes first, and the status of women is low. made her only dare to be angry in secret, and she had to be a good "aunt" on the surface, and she didn't dare to openly anger her father-in-law as a daughter-in-law.
After secretly resenting himself as always, Wu could only resign himself to continuing to prepare meals in the kitchen.
Father Mo held his waist and leaned on the futon on the eldest son's cushion before he put down his hand and breathed a sigh of relief. Sitting on the kang and saying to Mo Youquan: "Boss, you go and see how the little seventh girl is, I haven't seen her for a day and a night, I'm not at ease." ”
"Hey, my son will go to see my niece immediately, and you will rest first, dad." Mo Youquan hurriedly responded, and walked towards the west-facing house in the courtyard.
"Xiao Qi, uncle and grandpa are back, how are you? Little Seven? Xiaoqi, are you awake? Mo Youquan knocked and shouted at the door for a while, but there was no answer from inside, and he couldn't help but be a little worried. This niece has always been frail and sickly, and a few days ago she was infected with a cold, and she didn't get better after drinking medicine for more than half a month, so she won't ......
Thinking about it, he pushed the door directly in, and saw that the pale girl on the bed did not move at all, Mo Youquan couldn't help muttering a little in his heart, and walked to the side of the bed carefully, stretched out his hand and probed the girl's snort with a little anxiety, and felt the breath of nothingness before relieving his heart.
Mo Youquan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the thin girl in a comatose state, his eyes were a little worried, but he had no complaints about this "sick man" Mo Youquan who dragged down the Mo family, but sincerely cared about this niece.
After confirming that Mo Xiaoqi was fine, Mo Youquan exited the door, closed the door and reported to Daddy Mo that he was safe.
"Dad, Xiao Qi is fine, she is asleep, I didn't wake her up."
"Well, let her rest well, she has to take good care of her body." Father Mo paused and asked, "What about the second daughter-in-law?" Asked her to take care of the baby at home, it was dark, where did you go with the baby, why didn't you bring the baby back? ”
Mo Youquan didn't know how to answer, and just saw Mo Yougen bolting a good cow outside the door: "Second brother, what about my brother and sister, have you seen your baby?" ”
Mo Yougen scratched his head, as if he really didn't see his daughter-in-law, and wondered: "This, I don't know, maybe go to the field to pick vegetables, I'll take a look." ”
Father Mo looked at his second son and sighed, waved his hand and said, "Go and look for it, it's going to be dark this day, and it's not easy to walk on the road at that time." ”
"Hey. I'll go. Mo Yougen answered and ran out.
