Chapter 36: Ups and downs
Yan Nian stood in the courtyard of Aunt Zhang's house, looking at Aunt Zhang and Aunt Zhilan's happy appearance, thinking that she had done a good deed.
At this moment, the door opened, and Brother Huai walked out.
When Aunt Zhang saw her son coming out, she eagerly stepped forward and asked, "Brother Huai, how are you chatting with Xiaowei?" ”
Zhilan also opened the door and went into the house to ask her daughter.
Yan Nian also walked to Brother Huai's side and asked with a smile, "How is Xiaowei?" ”
"Mother, don't ask, it's good, it's all good." Brother Huai lowered his head and said.
"That's good, what are you talking about?" Aunt Zhang couldn't wait to ask.
"Didn't talk about anything, so be it for today."
Yan Nian saw that Aunt Zhang's face turned from sunny to cloudy, and said with a dark cloud: "You kid, how can you talk?" I think this kid is very good, listen to his mother, and make a decision today. You are also a big boss, do you know that your mother is anxious about your marriage? ”
"Auntie, don't worry, Brother Huai, you let that one listen to you, you listen to Brother Huai's words." Yan Nian was busy comforting Aunt Zhang.
Hearing Yan Nian say this, Aunt Zhang said again: "Okay, tell me what you think, let my mother listen to it." ”
Brother Huai touched his head and looked at Yan Nian beside him, there seemed to be a lot of things to say in his eyes, and it was difficult to speak, his whole face was like eating Coptis chinensis, and his eyebrows were locked.
"What's wrong with you? Why don't you speak? How old are you? When people are as old as you, children will make soy sauce, so it's better that you are still picking and choosing here! Today, you will listen to your mother once. ”
Aunt Zhang was trembling, and when Brother Huai saw his mother like this, he hurriedly spoke: "Niangniang, don't be angry!" I didn't say no, okay, Xiaowei is fine, everything is up to you. ”
Aunt Zhang heard that her son agreed to this family business, and immediately pulled her son with a smile and said: "Son, that's right, the situation of your Aunt Zhilan's family is the same as ours, which also responds to that sentence, what is it called, the door is right." Xiaowei, this child is also quiet and quiet, I like this, and you will live happily in the future. ”
Yan Nian also said: "Yes, you are really a good match, Xiaowei, don't look at her and don't like to talk, but people can count it in their hearts." ”
When the three of them entered the house, they saw Zhilan sitting next to Xiaowei, the mother and daughter were talking about something, and Xiaowei's face was still red. Seeing the three of them enter the house, they got up busily, and Xiao Wei lowered his head and leaned shyly on the head of a kang cabinet at the tip of the kang.
Aunt Zhang walked to Xiaowei's side with a smile and pulled Xiaowei to sit beside her, "Xiaowei, what do you think of your brother?" ”
Hearing Aunt Zhang ask herself like this, Xiaowei looked up at Brother Huai who was standing at the door, lowered her head and nodded embarrassedly, Brother Huai hurriedly turned around and pushed the door out.
"Good boy, my aunt likes you very much, and Brother Huai is also optimistic about you!" Aunt Zhang held Xiaowei's hand and didn't let go.
Zhilan on the side also smiled from ear to ear, "Yan Nian, you have done a great thing for our two families, how can you let your aunt thank you?" ”
"Look at what you said, don't say that, auntie, there will be something going on in anyone's life, besides, the two children are really good in my opinion, you two elders are waiting to hold the eldest grandson!"
"Quick, Brother Huai, let's eat here at noon, I'll let Brother Huai go out to buy meat, let's have a good meal together today."
Yan Nian heard Aunt Zhang say this, and hurriedly said: "Auntie, I won't eat here, there are still two little treasures at home, you are all satisfied, I have nothing to do." ”
After speaking, Yan Nian got up with a smile and said to Xiaowei: "You must be good, I wish you happiness!" ”
Aunt Zhang hurriedly said: "Wait, otherwise, you go home and bring the two children here, let's have a good meal." ”
Without waiting for Yan Nian to speak, Zhilan said: "That's okay, Xiaowei, you and Yan Nian go home and bring the children over, and Aunt Zhang and I will prepare meals at home." ”
Xiao Wei hurriedly got up and pulled Yan Nian: "Let's go, I'll go with you." ”
Yan Nian thought about it, he was the middleman who facilitated this matter, and it was not good to leave like this, so he nodded and said, "Okay, just listen to the eldest mother, go, Xiaowei and I will go to my house." ”
When the two of them went out of the room, they saw Brother Huai standing under the eaves, looking into the distance, as if thinking about something.
"What do you want to do well?" Yan Nian said while pulling Xiaowei towards the courtyard gate, looking at Brother Huai jokingly.
"It's okay, Sister-in-law Yan Nian, where are you going?" Brother Huai touched his head and said embarrassedly.
"Xiaowei and I went home and picked up the children, do you want to go?"
Just as Brother Huai was about to speak, he heard the mother in the house shouting, "Where did Brother Huai go?" ”
Brother Huai hurriedly walked to the house: "Mother, I'm here, is there something wrong?" ”
"You go to the butcher's shop in Xitou and buy some meat and come back."
"I'll go."
Brother Huai hurriedly opened the door and walked out, and when he saw Yan Nian and Xiaowei in front of him, he took a few steps and followed: "I'll go buy some meat." ”
"Okay, you go, Xiaowei and I will be over in a while."
Soon, Yan Nian and Xiaowei came to the gate of their house.
Seeing the gate open, Yan Nian's heart tightened, and he hurriedly ran to the courtyard and shouted loudly: "Nuonuo, Yanyan, where are you?" ”
However, there was no sound at all, Yan Nian sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly pushed the door into the house.
It didn't matter if he pushed the door, Yan Nian was frightened, and saw that the kang and the ground were full of his own and children's clothes, and the bedding was also torn to pieces, and there was no place to stay in the whole house.
Xiao Wei behind him also exclaimed: "Sister Yan Nian, isn't this a thief in the house?" Ah! What about the children? ”
Yan Nian suddenly remembered the silver ticket that sold ginseng, and busily got on the kang and lifted the corner of the rag covered by the kang cabinet.
Fortunately, the silver ticket is still there. What about the silver?
Yan Nian ran to the stove again, and behind the stove, Yan Nian found a piece of wood and poured out the silver from it, Yan Nian was relieved.
"Child, what about the child?" Yan Nian ran out of the yard like crazy and shouted, "Where are you Nuo Yanyan?" ”
"Mother, my sister and I are here." Seeing that the door of He Ling's house was open, Nuo Nuo led Yanyan out of it, and coaxed his sister as he walked: "Don't cry, isn't my mother coming back?" ”
He Ling and her son Xiaoqiang followed.
Yan Nian hurriedly ran to the courtyard: "Nuo Nuo, are you okay?" ”
Xiao Yanyan saw her mother crying even more fiercely, "Mother! Someone hit me. ”
"Who hit you?" Yan Nian bent down to pick up her daughter, wiped her tears for her daughter, and pasted her crying little face distressedly.
Nuo Nuo was busy pulling his mother's clothes, and his eyes were full of tears: "My sister and I were playing in the yard, and Xiaofeng of the Li family in the upper courtyard and Mei Na Pengxi of the second uncle's family scolded us for being wild seeds, and scolded my mother!" ”
Yanyan said while crying: "After scolding, I opened the fence and entered the hospital, and pushed me into the mud pit, woo~"
