Chapter 98: A Family
The wind and the sun were shining, and the children were chasing and running around the clearing.
The only needle sat on the haystack with his chin propped up, away from the children with swarthy hands that had not been washed in a certain amount of time.
It's been half a month since she came out of that cave.
In half a month, it is estimated that she can run the entire secret realm at a fast speed, but she is still stranded here, not knowing how to get out at all.
When she was in the wood world, she didn't know how long she had been in the library, there was no day or night at all, there was no concept of time, but she didn't have the slightest impatience. Because when she is interested, she can be like a sponge, tirelessly absorbing everything she wants.
But here, in addition to the villagers who are busy from morning to night every day, it is these children who don't know the taste of sorrow.
The villagers took her in, and the children quickly included her in the range of friends, and took her with them when they came out to play.
Can be a unique needle...... Alas, I really didn't feel happy at all.
She looked at the sky and sighed three thousand and sixty-eighty-four times.
"Little Five, come down, it's time to go home for dinner." A girl's crisp cry came from under the haystack.
She is the eldest daughter of the village chief, Quan Xiaoyu, two years older than Duyipin, and she is already ready to say goodbye, she is a big girl, compared to those leather children, she at least has certain requirements for her cleanliness, for this reason, Duyi has spent the most time with her here.
The solo dancer jumped down from the haystack, and soon the children, who had not yet played together, also scattered as birds and beasts, and went back to their respective houses to find their mothers.
Quan Xiaogen and Quan Xiaoniu ran over sweating profusely, and said to Quan Xiaoyu with a smile: "Sister, what are we eating today?" ”
Quan Xiaoyu poked them with his finger, "You know how to eat." ”
Comparatively, the village chief's family background is the best in the village, so Solo Dance lived in the village chief's house from the beginning.
She is a little girl, she can't eat much, and she hasn't been annoying in a short time.
The only needle was still walking through the village, subconsciously looking around, not missing any clues that were different from the past, but unfortunately, today is as normal as ever.
Back at the village chief's house, the village chief's daughter-in-law, Aunt Liu, beckoned everyone to eat, and Du Yi followed Quan Xiaoyu to fetch water and wash his hands, and Quan Xiaogen and Quan Xiaoniu had already rushed to the kitchen with a shout.
Soon there was Aunt Liu's reprimand and the sound of the two children giggling.
"What are you going to eat today?" Out of the house came an old lady with neat hair buns, next to the old lady was a big girl wearing a red floral jacket, the big girl held her arm, with a proud smile on her face, seeing Quan Xiaogen and Quan Xiaoniu with black hands holding half of the nest head into their mouths, couldn't help flashing a trace of disgust, and quickly lowered their eyes to cover up the past.
These two people are the village chief's mother, Mrs. Ma, and the village chief's sister, Quan Shuyu.
It is said that when Quan Shuyu was young, the village chief's father was still alive, and when he took her to the town to play, there was a blind fortune teller who said that Quan Shuyu was rich and noble, and he would fly on the branch as a phoenix in the future.
Since then, Quan Shuyu has become the most expensive person in their family, and he has not decided on anyone at the age of eighteen.
Originally, in the family village, girls began to marry at the age of twelve, from the beginning of the release of their own daughters to the beginning of growth, and then to the beauty to say goodbye, in one by one want to see the character and family history, set the family, the next wedding ceremony, the whole process also takes three or four years, fifteen or sixteen is just the age of marriage.
But the village chief's family has a sister-in-law who is also to be married but picky, and all kinds of dissatisfaction, delayed from the age of twelve to the age of eighteen, Quan Xiaoyu naturally did not want to bypass the aunt to talk about family affairs, so it was delayed for two years. Quan Shuyu was taken by a young master in the town a few days ago and wanted to be accepted back as a concubine, so Quan Xiaoyu also started to get married.
Interestingly, for Quan Xiaoyu's marriage, Mrs. Ma was even more anxious than the village chief and his wife, originally Aunt Liu meant that it had been delayed for so long anyway, and it would be okay to delay it for a few more days.
not only completes the brother-sister friendship between the sister-in-law and the village chief, but also does not let people say that Xiaoyu is in a hurry to get married, and even ignores the undecided marriage of the sister-in-law.
As a result, Aunt Liu was not in a hurry, and the village chief didn't care about this kind of thing, but Mrs. Ma hurriedly gave Quan Xiaoyu Zhang Luo the marriage.
The affairs of the village chief's family, Duyi never said anything, nor did she ask, everything she knew was from what they usually talked to, and the Quan Xiaoyu brothers and sisters took the initiative to mention it to her, and then she summarized it herself.
Although she didn't say it, she knew the hidden waves in the village chief's house. The dirty things she had seen in her previous life were gone, and she knew exactly what Mrs. Ma had in mind.
Aunt Liu and Quan Xiaoyu really don't seem to know the plans of Mrs. Ma's mother and daughter, but whether the village chief knows it or not, she doesn't know.
In the final analysis, the village chief has the final say, she is an outsider, and she eats and drinks at other people's homes, she wants to repay this kindness, but how to report it, she knows whether the village chief knows it, and what measures he will take if he knows.
Helping others to help herself make a fuss, she doesn't do this kind of thankless work.
When she looked at the smiles on the faces of Mrs. Ma and Quan Shuyu without a trace, Aunt Liu walked out of the kitchen with a dumpling skewer and beckoned Quan Xiaoyu and said, "Go in and bring out the dishes." ”
"Huh." Quan Xiaoyu answered and walked into the kitchen quickly.
At this time, the village chief Quan Yuzhu also walked in with a hoe and sweating profusely.
Aunt Liu hurriedly came over to help him take down the hoe and put it away, and was busy fetching him water and washing his face.
Quan Xiaoyu took out the dishes and put them away, went to serve the porridge and water, and took them out one by one. During the period, the only needle also went in to help, and the two boys of Quan Xiaogen also went in to help with chopsticks and move stools.
And Mrs. Ma and Quan Shuyu sat at the dinner table and waited quietly throughout the whole process.
When everyone was seated, Mrs. Ma sighed as she looked at the dishes on the table, with a look of disgust, and stopped talking, and didn't say the last word.
But Aunt Liu was already ashamed of this, and her whole person was about to shrink under the table.
Quan Yuzhu didn't seem to notice these at all, waiting for Mrs. Ma to pick up a dumpling, and he also picked up the dumpling and started eating.
Aunt Liu didn't do anything at all, but Quan Xiaoyu took a dumpling and broke half of it and stuffed it to Aunt Liu.
The only needle takes the expressions of these people into his eyes, and he finds it interesting in his heart. It is said that people are social animals, and their emotions are rich and complex, looking at these people in front of them, they are all ordinary people compared to martial artists, and they have not even stabilized their food and clothing, and they have begun to think about their own thoughts.
After eating a meal, Aunt Liu was just about to get up and clean up the dishes and chopsticks, when Mrs. Ma suddenly said: "Xiaoyu and her mother will clean up slowly, I have something to say." ”
Aunt Liu subconsciously glanced at Quan Yuzhu, Quan Yuzhu nodded, she put down the bowl in her hand, sat back down, pinched the corner of her clothes a little crampedly and said, "Mother, what is the matter with you, you say." ”
Mrs. Ma looked at her son, who was also looking at her, slightly hooked the corners of her lips, and said, "When I gave birth to your sister, you were already half an adult. So when she was born, my mother put most of my thoughts on her, pillar, don't you blame my mother? ”
Quan Yuzhu looked dazed, shook his head and said, "No wonder, mother, why did you suddenly say this." ”
The only needle silently replied to him in his heart: Of course, it's about emotional relationships, so that you can't speak.
Mrs. Ma continued: "It's okay not to blame, over the years, your sister's marriage has not been stable, and it has also delayed the good time of Xiaoyu, and my mother has been unhappy in her heart. As she spoke, she raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and Quan Shuyu also bowed her head, but she didn't have her mother's superb acting skills, and she didn't squeeze out tears for a long time.
The only needle almost laughed, holding it hard, holding it back, holding it so hard that her little face was flushed, and she didn't know that she thought she was moved by Mrs. Ma's words.
"Mother, why did you say this suddenly, Shuyu is my sister, Xiaoyu's aunt, and I am a niece waiting for my aunt to get married first, isn't this how it should be." Quan Yuzhu frowned and persuaded, and his dark face instantly became even more terrifying.
Aunt Liu was even more trembling, afraid that Quan Yuzhu would misunderstand what she had said about her sister-in-law behind her back, so she hurriedly said: "Mother, what are you talking about, Xiaoyu is still young, don't worry." Besides, isn't my sister-in-law already decided? You suddenly said this, you make me ......" As she spoke, Aunt Liu got up and was about to kneel down for Mrs. Ma.
Seeing this, he suddenly raised his eyebrows, his eyes were full of interest, but he didn't expect that this Aunt Liu was not a fuel-efficient lamp.
How could Mrs. Ma let her kneel, she knelt in vain, and hurriedly poked Quan Shuyu secretly.
The only needle was flooded with bad water in her heart, and she raised her hand and hit an inconspicuous stone on the leg of the stool under Quan Shuyu's buttocks, and Quan Shuyu sat directly on the ground, staining her floral clothes.
Immediately, Quan Shuyu stopped doing it, patted her ass and sat up, and complained to Mrs. Ma, "Mother, what are you pushing me for, you see that my new clothes are dirty!" Two taels of silver. ”
Mrs. Ma's face changed, Quan Yuzhu didn't speak, Aunt Liu glanced at her man, and then lowered her eyes and didn't speak.
After Quan Yuzhu's father died, the silver was placed in Mrs. Ma's place, Mrs. Ma was partial to her daughter, and she couldn't wait to give all the silver to her daughter to take away, but it was all secretly, everyone knew it, but they maintained a calm surface, and no one said anything.
Mrs. Ma hurriedly got up and slapped Quan Shuyu hard, "You shut up for me, don't help your sister-in-law up!" ”
Quan Shuyu is not happy to touch Aunt Liu, Aunt Liu has been feeding chickens and ducks since she got up in the morning, and she has been circling around the kitchen, her body smells bad, and she dislikes each other's dirty.
"She's a junior, if she's willing to kneel for you, you'll suffer it, why do you have to pull it up." Quan Shuyu complained about her own mother, and turned Aunt Liu with her white eyes, "You can kneel if you want, kneel farther away, okay?" It's all dirt here, and your kneeling has splattered it all and stained my clothes. ”
