Chapter 9 The warmth brought by the second sister
Shen Hongdou didn't wait until the next day to come over.
But when it was almost dark, Shen Linglong had just come out of the bath with her two daughters and Xiaofu, and met Shen Hongdou and the tall and thin second brother-in-law who came in in a hurry.
Not only did people come, but Shen Linglong and her second brother-in-law also carried two quilts and a bundle of firewood, while Shen Hongdou took two wooden barrels and stuffed some clothes into them.
Shen Linglong immediately greeted her when she saw it, "Second sister, why did you come over now?" ”
Shen Hongdou waved her hand and didn't finish, asking her husband to put all the things into the house, she took a breath and waved her husband home.
Shen Linglong had just broken two bowls of hot tea and came over, and when she saw her second brother-in-law Xu Wen coming out, she immediately asked, "Brother-in-law?" Leaving so soon? ”
The tall and thin man was very dark, he smiled at Shen Linglong, showed his white teeth, and said, "Go back first, your second sister will accompany you." ”
After finishing speaking, she left, and Shen Linglong had to go into the house to ask her second sister.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Shen Hongdou making a bed on her home's earthen kang, spreading their dirty and torn quilt and some hay all over the kang, and then covering it with a layer of clean sheets, on which were two beds with patches, but clean quilts.
Shen Linglong was very grateful, and hurriedly went over to help, but before she could speak, her second sister took the lead in interrupting: "You don't need to say let me take it back, the extra quilt in my house is not for you for the two children." ”
Shen Linglong cried and laughed: "I know, thank you, I didn't say let you take it back, I'm not stupid, it's still cold this day, I don't know where to find these quilts without you!" ”
In this era, who can have more quilts!
Shen Linglong knew very clearly that these things must have been exchanged for a lot of things from Shen Hongdou.
The so-called icing on the cake is easy, and sending charcoal in the snow is even more popular. Shen Linglong secretly thought in her heart that when the conditions were good in the future, she would definitely buy a new one and return it.
After a busy meal, Shen Hongdou took out a cotton coat from the barrel, handed it to Shen Linglong with a smile and said, "Didn't you just take a bath?" This padded coat is newly made by me, and I haven't worn it since! Hurry up and change into it, there are cotton pants here......"
Shen Linglong was stunned for a moment, pointed to her nose, and asked in surprise, "Give it to me?" ”
Shen Hongdou glared at Shen Linglong, and said angrily: "What's the matter, I can't make you some clothes as a sister?" You don't know how to take care of yourself, Dafu Erfu said that you were hot last night, and you burned out, and if you don't wear more, I see you burn to death, what should you do with these five children! ”
After finishing speaking, he pushed Shen Linglong to change her clothes.
Shen Linglong's nose was a little sour, and she immediately changed into a new cotton coat after a snort.
When the children saw the light in their black eyes, they all grinned and said, "Mother is so beautiful!" ”
The cotton clothes are red, ordinary style, but especially white, the original owner's own conditions are still quite good, tall, thin and fat, working in the field all year round, and the skin is not much dark.
Shen Linglong was embarrassed to be praised by several children, touched her nose and said, "It's so warm, second sister, if you don't wear this new one, I'll wear your old one." ”
The faces of several children fell, Shen Linglong only felt a little funny when she looked at it, she pretended to be fierce and said, "I won't wear you this old one!" This is what my man made for me at the beginning, my baby! ”
Shen Linglong knew that this was a scene, so she didn't care or refuse, she accepted it calmly, just remember to buy a new one and return it in the future.
She thought about it for a while, and then planned to take off her clothes and change them into old ones.
Shen Hongdou hurriedly stopped, puffed out his face and glared, "What are you doing?!" Don't you see that your children think they look good? If I get sick and die, I don't care about your children! ”
Shen Linglong pointed at Dafu Erfu a little helplessly and said, "Second sister, I'll go do something, boil water to bathe these two leather monkeys, and get dirty when I wear new clothes." ”
Shen Hongdou didn't listen, forcibly buttoned her clothes, and then turned out the black blouse and said: "You put one on the outside, I'll go out to boil water for his brother and two to bathe, and the eldest sister took off her clothes and went to the bed to lie down!" ”
Several children were very obedient, and after being busy for a while, after they were all washed, several people climbed onto the kang.
Because of the firewood that Xu Wen carried, the kang was burned, and the two sisters were not cold with a few children.
Lying on the bed, Shen Linglong listened to the cold wind hanging outside, but it was warm beside her, she was also relieved, and when the children fell asleep, she said softly: "Second sister, thank you." ”
