Chapter Twenty-Seven: Brother Huai
When returning the steaming drawer, Yan Nian selected a few large buns to give to He Ling's family, and He Ling couldn't stop praising Yan Nian's craftsmanship for improving.
When she came back, He Ling stuffed Yan Nian with two salted eggs, but she couldn't refuse, so she had to thank her and take them home.
Back at home, Yan Nian cut the two salted eggs into a small basin, and when she returned to the room, she saw two little babies sitting around a pot of steamed buns, holding a small bowl and waiting for her mother to come back to eat.
Yan Nian smiled and went to the kang, "Let's eat it quickly, it will be cold in a while." There are also salted eggs sent by Xiaoqiang Niang here. ”
"Little Qiang Niang is really good." Nuno looked at her mother with a smile.
This meal was very filling. After eating, Yan Nian led the two babies to Zhilana to get clothes.
Before leaving, Yan Nian put on the new clothes made by Zhilan. Just after eating, Yan Nian's face was a little red, Nuo Nuo and Yanyan looked at their mother, clapped their hands and said, "Mother is so beautiful." ”
Then, Nuo Nuo suddenly tilted his head and asked Yan Nian: "Mother, you said how good it would be for my father to see you so beautiful!" ”
Xiao Yanyan next to her asked Yan Nian in a milky voice: "Mother, where is my father?" Xiaoqiang's father is at home every day, but what about my father? Why don't you come back? ”
Yan Nian was stunned by the sudden questioning of the two little guys, and immediately said, "Your father is dead, let's go quickly and put on new clothes." ”
Xiao Yanyan also asked again: "Mother, Sande is not my father, where is my father?" ”
Nuo Nuo hurriedly pulled his sister: "My mother said that my father is gone, and my mother and I will protect you in the future, let's go." ”
The little guy pouted, and his brother led him to Zhilan's house.
As soon as I arrived at the gate of Zhilan's house, I saw her daughter Lu Xiaowei sitting in the small courtyard embroidering, and when she saw Yan Nianniang coming, she ran over and opened the gate happily, "Sister-in-law Yan Nian!" ”
"What is Xiaowei embroidering?" Yan Nian smiled and looked at the embroidery in Xiaowei's hand, Zhilan shyly carried the work behind her back and said, "The embroidery is not good, don't look at it." ”
Nuo Nuo hurriedly called: "Hello, Auntie." Xiao Yanyan only looked around to see the novelty.
"Where's your mother?"
"In the room, go, in the house, please."
Yan Nian followed Xiaowei into the door, "Sister-in-law Zhilan." Yan Nian saw that Zhilan was making clothes on the kang, and hurriedly said hello.
"Oops! Yan Nian is here, come and sit down, see how happy you are, both children and daughters, hurry up and let the two little treasures go to the kang. With that, Zhilan dragged Nuo Nuo to sit on the kang.
"It's good to call grandma."
The two little guys didn't understand where a grandma came out of nowhere, and called grandma vaguely.
At this time, Xiaowei took out a small basket of melon seeds from the outhouse and put them on the kang, and took a few apricots in her hands and handed them to the two little guys: "Eat quickly, I just picked them on the mountain yesterday." ”
Zhilan turned around and took down the clothes on the cabinet: "Try it quickly, what a coincidence that I came today, I just finished it." ”
Nuno and Yeon-yeon took a bite of the blue apricot and closed their eyes with a sour grin.
"Thank you, sister-in-law Zhilan, come to Nuno to try on new clothes first." Yan Nian looked at Nuo Nuo's sour grin and pulled it over with a smile.
Clothes and fit, the two Xiaobao were reluctant to take it off when they put it on, Zhilan said with a smile: "Don't take it off, wear it home." ”
Yan Nian thanked Zhilan and paid the handicraft money, Zhilan resigned, and saw that Yan Nian was determined to give herself, so she took it and said: "Thanks to you for coming here last time, that Hua Fusheng didn't cause trouble, and you were calculated by him before leaving." ”
"That's all in the past, and I don't think that guy will dare to come to your house to make trouble."
Yan Nian looked at the work in Zhilan's hand and asked, "Whose clothes are these?" ”
"Ah, it's Ni Yirou, she saw that the clothes you were wearing looked good, and she went to the town to buy clothes of the same color as yours, and saw that you could bring me good luck." Zhilan said as she looked happily at the clothes on the kang.
Yan Nian knew very well in her heart that Ni Yirou was afraid that she would take the limelight from her, and she really made this dress for Fang Mingyu to see.
"Auntie, how can I have that figure, it's because of your good craftsmanship and good clothes."
"By the way, Yan Nian, I heard Xiaowei come back and say that you want to find a mother-in-law for Xiaowei, can you tell your sister-in-law which son-in-law is?"
Yan Nian was reminded by Zhilan, remembered this matter, and hurriedly patted his head and said: "Hey, you see I forgot, ah, it's Brother Huai of Aunt Zhang's family, what do you think?" ”
Aunt Zhang died of her husband in her early years, and led her brother and mother to live, the family is not rich, but Aunt Zhang is willing to work, and the family can be regarded as the past.
"That child is very good, Aunt Zhang is also very kind-hearted, I believe that the child can't be wrong." Zhilan nodded and said.
"Well, I just see that Xiaowei's child is very good, and I think of Brother Huai, so I'll go to his house to find out, and see if there is a matchmaker to introduce the mother-in-law."
"Then it's hard work, look at my family's Xiaowei is so honest, I don't worry about finding a domineering husband, my aunt will believe you."
Yan Nian, who said this, suddenly came up under pressure, "Auntie, I'll do my best, I like Xiaowei very much, and I won't let her suffer." ”
When the mother came to Mrs. Zhang's house, Brother Huai was about to lock the door and go back to the room to sleep, when he saw Yan Nian coming, he hurriedly opened the door and said shyly: "Yan Nian is here!" ”
"Well, you're going to rest?"
"It's okay, please come in the house."
When Yan Nian lived in Liu's house, Nuo Nuo often took his sister to Aunt Zhang's house to play, and he was already very familiar with this Brother Huai, Nuo Nuo smiled and threw himself into Brother Huai's arms, and screamed: "Brother Huai is good." ”
Yan Nian said angrily: "It's good to call uncle." ”
"Children can call it whatever they like." Brother Huai smiled and hugged Nuo Nuo, "Let's go, go back to the room to see grandma." ”
Aunt Zhang heard that there was movement outside the room, and hurriedly went to the ground, "Who is here?" ”
"Auntie is me." As he spoke, Yan Nian followed Brother Huai to push the door into the house.
"Yan Nian, come in, sit here." Seeing that it was Yan Nianniang, Aunt Zhang patted the edge of the kang with a smile and said.
The two Xiaobao took off their shoes and went to the kang, and they both sat in Aunt Zhang's arms, and Aunt Zhang looked at the clothes of the two Xiaobao: "Yo, what your mothers are wearing today is really festive, newly made?" ”
Yan Nian looked at the clothes on his body, nodded and said, "Well, it was made by Aunt Zhilan, is it good-looking?" ”
"Beautiful, beautiful! I moved out of Liu's house, although my life was a little hard and tiring, but I was relieved to see that you were no longer angry with that Mrs. Liu! ”
Brother Huai, who was standing on the side, looked at Yan Nian, his face turned red inadvertently, and he turned around and went to the outhouse to get a few peanuts for Xiaobao.
Yan Nian looked at Brother Huai and hurriedly asked the eldest mother: "Auntie, I came here today to ask you, does Brother Huai have a matchmaker to introduce the mother-in-law now." ”
Brother Huai heard Yan Nian ask his mother about this, turned around and left quickly, and went to his room, Yan Nian said with a smile: "How old are you and still so shy." ”
Aunt Zhang asked Yan Nian happily: "No, no, Yan Nian, which girl is it?" ”
