Chapter 17: The Great Sister

Looking at the chicks in the wooden box, Yan Nian couldn't close his mouth with a smile.

Fang Mingyu, who was standing on the side, also said with a smile: "It's okay to raise a few chickens, and your mother-in-law will have eggs to eat in the future." ”

"Brother Mingyu came back so early?" The two of them were talking, and Ni Yirou didn't know when she came back, carrying a bulging canvas bag in her hand.

"Erouth is back? What did you buy? Yan Nian asked.

"I didn't buy anything, my aunt gave my father and mother a few clothes, and I got them back." As he spoke, he also came over.

Ni Yirou looked at the chicks and said disdainfully: "Can you raise these?" It is difficult for the three big living people in the family to eat, and they still raise these living creatures with open mouths, and they must not starve to death? ”

"Don't worry, you won't starve." Yan Nian looked at the two people and said with a smile.

At this time, it was almost noon, and there were fewer and fewer people in the market, Yan Nian hurriedly said, "When will you go back?" I'm going home. ”

Ni Yirou looked at Fang Mingyu and asked sweetly, "Brother Mingyu, what are you still buying?" ”

"No, let's go." As he spoke, Fang Mingyu bent down to pick up the straw mat on the ground, and waved his hand to greet the carriage parked on the side.

"Brother Mingyu, is this the mat you bought?" While walking towards the car, Ni Yirou looked at the mat in Fang Mingyu's hand and asked.

Fang Mingyu looked at Yan Nian, who was struggling to hold the wooden box, "This was bought by Yan Nian, let's go." ”

Yan Nian was just about to speak, when he saw a person walking not far away, and the memory of the original owner told Yan Nian that this woman in a tile-gray coat was Liu Shuangling, the eldest sister of Sandezi.

As usual, Yan Nian will meet him and ask the eldest sister where she is going. Now, her identity is different, Yan Nian didn't bother to say anything, turned her head not to look at her, and walked a few steps to the car.

"Hey! Third daughter-in-law, are you going back? Liu Shuangling had already come to the car at this time and looked at Yan Nian with a smile.

The person has already arrived in front of him, and he doesn't say a word or can't go, "Well, let's go back, and the eldest sister is also coming to the market?" ”

Liu Shuangling's kind eyes looked at Yan Nian, her eyes were full of tears, Yan Nian knew that she was thinking of her own brother Sandezi again, and suddenly, her heart became uncomfortable: "Sister, don't be like this." ”

The eldest sister is very similar to Sandezi, is the eldest daughter of the Liu family, usually docile and virtuous, deeply liked by Yan Nian, and is stronger than the rest of the Liu family.

"Sister, where are you going?" Yan Nian suppressed the tears in his eyes and asked.

"Isn't it, the family has just finished farm work, and Xiao Liangzi is not at home, I took advantage of today's big set, so I bought something and came to see my father."

Liu Shuangling looked at Yan Nian as she spoke: "Third daughter-in-law, you don't go out all the time, why did you come to the market today?" ”

Hearing the eldest sister ask herself like this, Yan Nian knew that she didn't know that she had already separated the Liu family, and when she didn't know how to answer, Ni Yirou next to her spoke: "Eldest sister, you don't know yet, Yan Nian has been separated from your Liu family." ”

Liu Shuangling looked at Ni Yirou with wide eyes, and then looked at Yan Nian: "Really?" How does this work? Not kidding, right? ”

Yan Nian nodded, since someone said it for herself, it's okay, sooner or later she will know: "Yes, I have led the two children out, and my sister can go to my place to see when she gets home." ”

"Really? What's going on? Liu Shuangling knew that Yan Nian never told lies.

Yan Nian didn't want to talk about everything that happened here, so he lowered his head and said, "It's good that I'm moving out with my two Xiaobao now, it's much better than before." ”

Liu Shuangling knew Yan Nian's situation in the Liu family, and whenever she went to her mother's house and met her mother beating and scolding her third daughter-in-law, she would speak for Yan Nian.

Once when Yan Nian was cooking, steamed eggs did not suit Liu Pengxi's appetite, Liu Pengxi sat on the kang and cried, refusing to eat, so Liu stepped forward and directly slapped Yan Nian several times.

scolded while beating: "You useless thing, you can't cook well, my eldest grandson can't eat well, get out of here!" "That time, Yan Nian starved for a day.

In the end, it was the eldest sister who secretly gave her brother and daughter-in-law two steamed buns. Therefore, Yan Nian was very grateful to her, and she was very close to her when she saw her eldest sister coming.

The coachman put the straw mat on the top of the sedan chair and tied it firmly, moved the wooden box to his side, looked at a few people and asked in a low voice, "Can the young master leave?" ”

The eldest sister looked at Fang Mingyu and Ni Yirou who were standing on the side, and hurriedly said: "Mingyu, you have time to come out today, the eldest sister hasn't seen you for a long time, last time you said that you wanted to teach my family Liangzi to draw, and Liangzi went home and started painting at home." ”

"Eldest sister, I'm not busy these days, Ryoko, this kid is very smart, you should train him well." Fang Mingyu said with a sunny face.

"Okay, eldest sister, aren't you your mother-in-law? Let's get in the car, let's all take Brother Mingyu's car home. After speaking, Ni Yirou looked at Fang Mingyu again.

"Okay, let's get in the car and go." Fang Mingyu nodded, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please.

Yan Nian pulled the eldest sister into the car first, and the two sat together, Fang Mingyu looked at Ni Yirou: "Get in the car." ”

"Brother Mingyu, you pull me up." Ni Yirou made an embarrassed expression.

Pulling Ni Yirou into the car and sitting down, Fang Mingyu shouted: "Okay, let's go." ”

"Alright, sit down." The coachman whipped his horse, started the car, and ran forward.

On the way, I only heard Ni Yirou and Fang Mingyu talking, and Yan Nian sat next to the eldest sister and didn't say a word.

Soon, the car returned to the mountain village in a bumpy road.

Liu Shuangling got out of the car first and said to Yan Nian in the car: "Why don't you get out of the car?" ”

"I'm not in the yard anymore, I've moved to live in the two thatched houses of Li Bo, eldest sister, you can get your things and go back quickly."

Liu Shuangling was surprised, ran a few steps with the carriage and asked, "Is that okay?" Look at what you think? Gotta come and see the kids in the afternoon. ”

Without waiting for Yan Nian to reply, the carriage had already traveled a long way.

Yan Nian held the sedan curtain and looked at the eldest sister standing on the side of the road, her eyes full of tears.

The carriage sent Yan Nian directly to the gate, Yan Nian got off the car with a wooden box, and Fang Mingyu also sent the straw mat to the house.

Ni Yirou didn't get out of the car, sat in the sedan chair, and watched impatiently as the two of them carried things.

Fang Mingyu stretched out his hand to help spread the straw mat on the kang, Yan Nian hurriedly said: "Brother Mingyu, thank you very much, you go back quickly, Ni Yirou is still sitting in the car, these little jobs will not trouble you." ”

"That's okay, you can spread it yourself slowly, after you put it on, you must take a good look at where there are no grass thorns, don't tie Xiaobao to it."

Fang Mingyu said as he took out a small box from his cuff and solemnly handed it to Yan Nian: "I look good at this, so I will buy it for you casually." ”

Yan Nian hurriedly shook his hand and said, "No, Yan Nian is very grateful to Brother Mingyu today, why do you still want your things." ”

Looking at the delicate small wooden box in Mingyu's hand, Yan Nian didn't know what was inside, but Yan Nian knew that this thing could never be accepted. No matter what happened to the original owner and this handsome scholar before, it must not be like this now.

Thinking of this, Yan Nian took out a few copper coins from the kang cabinet, and sent the remaining silver coins from today to Fang Mingyu's eyes in his sleeve, "Brother Mingyu, this is the silver money of this straw mat, you can accept it." ”

Fang Mingyu looked at the copper coin in Yan Nian's hand, and stretched out his hand to push it to Yan Nian: "Yan Nian, what are you doing?" It's worth it! ”

When Fang Mingyu's hand touched Yan Nian's hand, his face suddenly turned crimson, and he couldn't help but hold Yan Nian's little hand in his palm.
