The third uncle frowned and pondered for a while. [Full text reading. He asked, "You said that Shanzi didn't tell you about these things before." ”

"Nope." Autumn shook her head. "Maybe I think it's hard to talk about the elders."

"I can't imagine that Shanzi still cares about his own reputation. It's a rarity. ”

Seeing the expression of the third uncle, Qiu Se knew that he was right. continued: "If it weren't for the Qin clan suddenly coming to the door that day, even I would have been kept in the dark. ”

"The Qin clan went looking for you."

"Not really. I was stunned. I didn't expect a mother-in-law to suddenly appear. You don't even know what those neighbors thought of us at the time. And even the prefectural magistrate said that he was a prince. Alas. I don't know that Xianggong can't continue to work in the yamen. "Autumn melancholy road.

"What do you say? Shanzi can't be an errand in the yamen anymore. The third uncle was taken aback by the words of the autumn color. Nervously asked.

Autumn Color nodded. "yes. The Qin family is not only known to my noisy neighbors. I heard that she also took Ai Lin to the yamen to sue the minister for unfilial piety. Or can the county magistrate not let the minister go to the office? ”

"What." The third uncle's eyes widened angrily. He scolded with hatred. "That loser."

"This time I came back mainly to familiarize myself with my own place. Xianggong is really going to be kicked out of the yamen. Maybe we'll have to come back to farming. Then I have to ask the third uncle to take care of it more. Qiu Se smiled and looked at the third uncle with a stunned face and said.

Hall.

"Come back and farm." The third uncle frowned. looked at Ai Laohu in front of him disapprovingly and said, "Shanzi." Although since ancient times, only reading is the way to get ahead. But it's not necessarily bad to be on an errand in the office. Our village. Since you returned to the county government to catch heads, you have borrowed a lot of light. Although no one is going to ask you for help. But in private, no one dares to mess with our villagers. And there is also a lot of care when collecting taxes and apportionments. These are all thanks to you. Uncle knew it in his heart. But why did you suddenly want to come back to farm? ”

Ai Laohu shook his somewhat stiff waist slightly. Patiently listened to the third uncle's words, and then said: "The Qin family went to the yamen to sue me for being unfilial. The prefectural magistrate told me to go home first. I thought it would be better for me to offer to quit than to actually get fired. And came back. ”

"It's the Qin family." The third uncle twisted his beard. frowned. "Some time ago. Lin Zi learned to gamble with others. As a result, he lost his family's house and land. The Qin clan also came to the clan twice to look for it. I ignored her, though. Then she took Erin with her. I thought I was going back to my parents' house. But they came to look for you. ”

"It's not just looking for me." Ai Laohu snorted coldly. "Their mother and son still dress up like beggars all day long, and go around saying that I bullied my stepmother and beat my own brother. If it weren't for the fear of my fists. I'm afraid that people will spit on me when I walk down the street now. ”

The third uncle was also quite angry when he heard this. I slapped the table next to me. "Sapple. Messing around. It's a shrew. ”

Ai Laohu really couldn't sit down. Then he got up and took his leave. "Third uncle. Then I'll go back first. You discuss with the clan elders to see how much it will cost to repair the ancestral hall. Go back and give me the number. I'll bring it to you then. ”

Then. The autumn colors that felt similar to the words also walked out of the back room with the third uncle. Stand next to Ai Laohu. became a well-behaved little daughter-in-law.

"Shanzi. You and your daughter-in-law can eat here. I told your sister-in-law to cook. It'll take a while. The third uncle tried her best to keep it. The attitude is warm and pitying. The third uncle gave her a strange look.

"Nope. Uncles and aunts, you stay. Qiu Niang and I left first. Ai Laohu refused the third uncle's stay. Take the autumn colors and go out. When I walked into the courtyard, I met a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl who came back from outside.

"Daddy. Mother. Who are they? The girl walked up to the third uncle and looked at Ai Laohu and his wife curiously.

Ai Laohu looked at the girl. asked, "Uncle." This is my sister-in-law. ”

The third uncle nodded. "This is your sister-in-law. It's called a leaflet. Then he said to the girl, "Xiao Ye." This is Shanzi and his daughter-in-law. ”

"Yikes. You're Shanzi. I always hear my mother and them say that you are being bullied. I thought it was a gas bag. I didn't expect it to look like a bear. ”

"Poof." The autumn colors are really unbearable. Laughed softly.

Ai Laohu is also full of black lines. I want to get angry but I don't think I should be. It's not uncomfortable to hold it for a while.

The third uncle's face sank and he reprimanded: "There are no rules at all." What does it look like an elder. ”

"Hmph." Ai Xiaoye's face twisted. I don't care about Daddy's stinky face at all. She's an old woman. Pampered since childhood. Naturally, I am not afraid of the third uncle.

"Sister-in-law." Ai Laohu saluted Ai Xiaoye. And dragged a handful of autumn colors.

"Sister-in-law." Autumn Colors also shouted.

Ai Xiaoye also circled around the autumn colors. A pout. "Shanzi. How did you find such a daughter-in-law? It's not long. Return the slag of the soil. I don't even wear a dress. It's too embarrassing for you to be a headhunter. Don't say it's my niece and daughter-in-law. Plunges. ”

This time it was the turn of the autumn colors' faces to darken. until he got out of the door of the third uncle's house. Autumn finally let out the breath that she had been holding back for a while. "Why is your sister-in-law talking so ugly. Say I'm dirty. The powder on her face was so thick. It's a different color from the neck. It's not dirty. And a green jacket with a red skirt. The whole thing is a stupid shortage. ”

"That's how she was a child. I wasn't called a bear by her. Ai Laohu also felt quite depressed. and autumn colors. "Stop, too. Anyway, that's my sister-in-law, too. ”

"Alright. I know. Won't I just talk to your face? She said me just now, but I didn't talk back at all. ”

And the third uncle saw that Ai Laohu and his wife were gone. said a few words to Ai Xiaoye without pain. I was going back to the house to continue drinking tea. looked at the third uncle who came in with his feet and frowned. "Why don't you come in with me when you don't cook?"

The third uncle looked back and saw her daughter back to her house. I leaned into my wife's ear and said a word.

"You're serious." The third uncle's originally unhappy expression turned into surprise and annoyance.

"Yes. Who can laugh about this? The third uncle nodded. It's all Qin's mother-in-law. Don't say anything about harming Shanzi Niang. The mountain that is still harmed is going to be extinct. I really deserve hell. ”

The third uncle went back and forth on the ground twice. Said: "It's easy to talk about this." If he really can't do it, he will be succeeded by one from the clan. But what I'm thinking about now is something else. Shanzi said that his errand in the Yamen might be lost. ”

"Shanzi's daughter-in-law also told me. He also said that if he came back to farm, he would let me take care of them. The third uncle said indifferently: "Throw it away." With those twenty acres of land, Shanzi can also eat a full meal. ”

"Long hair and short knowledge." The third uncle glared at his wife fiercely. "Since ancient times, it has been a yamen, and there are people who are easy to do. If Shanzi really doesn't do anything in the yamen. Our village won't be able to borrow any light. This Qin clan. He dared to bring evil to his people. Damn it. ”

"That's all there is going on." The third uncle and mother-in-law were also worried. "Otherwise, you go to the county order and say that the fault is in the Qin family."

"Alright. When this matter is waited, I will study it with those old guys with the matter of the ancestral hall. You go and cook a few good dishes. After a while, I called the fourth, sixth, seventh and ninth uncles over for dinner. By the way, I asked Xiaoye to go too. It's about to get married. Why don't you do any work? The third uncle commanded.

"Got it." The third uncle answered. I went to call someone.

And Ai Laohu and his wife talked all the way back to Erniu's house. Erniu's daughter-in-law has already prepared a meal and is waiting. It is a standard farmhouse meal. Stuffy sorghum rice. A fatty stew of potatoes on the table. A dish of stewed tofu. A plate of stewed cabbage and boiled peanuts. Their son Maomao had woken up and was nestled in the arms of Erniu's daughter-in-law, looking at the fat on the table and drooling.

"Brother Shanzi. The family is poor, and there is really no decent food. You and your sister-in-law can deal with it. Erniu rubbed his hands. Let Ai Tiger. I took a bowl and poured the wine I had just bought. Let the autumn colors on the side again. "Sister-in-law, sit down too. There are no outsiders today. You and Mao Mao Niang also eat together. ”

Let's be honest. The four dishes on the table are basically boiled. Just the fat stewed potatoes in the oil star is bigger. It looks very tired. Autumn smiles. "You eat first. I also brought some goodies. I'll add food to you. Sister. Where are the plates in your house. Bring me two. ”

Erniu's daughter-in-law looked at Erniu and Ai Laohu, and she didn't mean to object. So he got up and went to bring a notched plate and a cracked bowl for Autumn Color. Embarrassed: "The family is poor." There are not a few decent plates and bowls. ”

"Yes. Just have this. Anyway, there was no soup. Autumn took the plate and bowl to the Westinghouse. A place where I and Ai Laohu pile things. Find two jars. Open the seal. Use chopsticks to pick up the vegetables from the inside out.

Erniu's daughter-in-law sniffed. Exclaimed: "It smells so good." Sister-in-law. What the hell are you doing? ”

"Pickles and jar meat."

Wait for the two dishes to be served. Erniu's eyes also lit up. Mao Mao couldn't help but grab the meat of the altar with her hands to eat.

Erniu's daughter-in-law clapped his hand. Smiled apologetically at the autumn colors. "The child is so unruly."

Mao Mao was already attracted by the fragrance of the altar meat. At this time, I wanted to eat but was beaten. I cried aggrieved for a while.

Qiu Se picked up a spoon and scooped a large spoonful of meat into the bowl in front of Mao Mao. smiled: "Mao Mao is good." Eat the meat quickly. Otherwise, your father and uncle will eat it up. ”

Mao Mao got meat. Choke twice. I didn't bother to wipe the tears on my face, so I grabbed the bowl and ate it directly with my hands.

Erniu said reluctantly: "Brother Shanzi." Sister-in-law. I'm really sorry. When you come to my house, you are asked to bring your own food. ”

Ai Laohu waved his hand unconcernedly. He took a sip of wine. "What's the point of eating a little. Sizzle. This wine is delicious. ”

Qiu Se was a little embarrassed to see the husband and wife. He smiled and said, "Actually, these two jars of pickles and altar meat are made by myself." It didn't cost anything. I brought it with me as a thank you gift to the borrower. Now it's just a matter of taking it out in advance. ”
