Chapter 241: Family Affection
My grandmother took me and my daughter-in-law and asked some questions, not about outside the village, but about life.
In my grandmother's heart, caring for me was more important than the threat of the blood centipede.
My daughter-in-law doesn't talk much and is not good at communicating, so I'm answering my grandmother.
Grandma's house is very large, it is still a brick structure, like the house of a large landlord in ancient times, with two entrances and two exits, and the front and back yards are very spacious.
When they arrived at the door, the accompanying Miao villagers dispersed, and the surroundings quieted down.
The third village gathered thousands of people from the Xuan World, and even if Miao Qing and the pharmacist delayed, they could get here in three or five days. When I got to the courtyard, I hurriedly said, "Grandma, the people from the Xuan World are coming soon, and we must also be prepared." ”
Immediately after, I told the matter of the third village in detail, and I did not miss what the man in the windbreaker said, and reminded him emphatically, but omitted the matter of the Gu woman.
My grandmother is too old, and when she gets old, she misses the old and cares about the people around her. I'm afraid that she won't be able to accept it after hearing it, and there will be problems with her body.
After hearing this, my grandmother let go of her daughter-in-law's hand, patted the back of my hand and said, "My good grandson, although our village is not as beautiful as the outside world, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, there are fish and shrimp in the river, and there are rabbits in the mountains." ”
When my grandmother said this, she remembered some things when she was young, and she was in a good mood and smiled: "When your mother was young, she loved to touch fish and shrimp in the river, and the fish and shrimp tasted good." After reminiscing, my grandmother sighed again: "It's a pity, since your mother left, I have never eaten such delicious fish and shrimp." ”
When she is older, her grandmother's thinking is a little scattered, but her thinking is still clear, and she sighed, and then said just now: "These days, you just take your daughter-in-law and friends to have fun, and adults do things!" ”
"But ......"
As soon as I wanted to interrupt, my daughter-in-law glanced at me and shook her head slightly, I understood what she meant, and said obediently: "Got it, grandma!" ”
After a while, the backyard was filled with food and drink.
In front of the daughter-in-law, there was a large wooden barrel of chicken blood.
The chickens in Miao Village are different from domestic breeding, and they all survive in the mountains, and the yang energy is extremely heavy. On the way back, I found that my daughter-in-law was full of energy and spirit, which showed that she could eat so much every day after she came back.
Otherwise, with her virtue, she would have been licking her mouth greedily, but now she looks too lazy to drink.
I pinched her lightly and whispered, "There is no refrigerator in the stockade, and it will be bad if you don't drink for a few hours." ”
The daughter-in-law pursed her mouth and reluctantly drank half of it.
It seems that when a person is rich, he is hypocritical.
It's noon when the meal is finished. My mother arranged for the fat man and them to go down to rest, except for me, Li Lin, my daughter-in-law, and the fat man, they all lived outside.
Li Lin went to sleep as soon as he was full, I don't know if it was the reason for seeing my grandmother, or the previous sleep was too comfortable, now I am a little tired, but I don't want to sleep at all, I found a bamboo basket and a basket in the yard, and pulled my daughter-in-law out of the house.
Not far from the village is the small river that my grandmother said, not deep, very clear, standing on the shore you can see the fish and shrimp swimming in the water.
My daughter-in-law asked me, "Ning Ning, can I take the garland off my head?" Ugly is dead. ”
I checked, and after a few hours, the honeysuckle had wilted a little, so I agreed that she should not wear it.
I took it off for her, and I wanted to throw it away with my backhand, but my daughter-in-law nervously snatched it over, and as soon as I turned my hand, the garland disappeared. I curiously circled around her, and searched for her skirt for a long time, but I didn't see her.
Curiously asked, "Wife, did you hide the garland there!" ”
My daughter-in-law lifted her skirt by me, her face was red, her hands pressed her skirt tightly, she glared at me and said, "Hide it in my heart!" ”
I thought she could really hide it in her heart, and she was about to touch it, but my daughter-in-law finally couldn't bear it anymore, reached out and grabbed my ear, carried me to the river, and kicked me down.
She kicked me off unsuspectingly, and as soon as I stood firm, I pulled the splash to splash her, and the daughter-in-law pulled her skirt, giggled, and ran on the riverbank to avoid the splash.
After playing around for a while, I took a basket and began to catch fish and shrimp, and my daughter-in-law pulled up her skirt and carried a small basket to collect my trophies.
In the evening, I caught a lot of fish and shrimp, and I happily carried it back.
When I arrived at the door, my grandmother happened to come back from outside, followed by four Miao men, and my grandmother called me over and introduced me.
The four Miao men are my four uncles.
I haven't seen them since I was a child, and I've called them politely, and I don't know what to say for a while. Although I am already more than 1.6 meters tall, in the eyes of my uncle, I am still a child who does not grow up, and they keep touching our heads.
When the daughter-in-law saw it, she hurriedly retreated far away, for fear that her uncle would also touch her head.
Fortunately, my mother came out at this time, and when she saw that I had caught a lot of fish and shrimp, she beckoned my uncles to come in and sit down and eat together in the evening.
A few uncles should be discussing the next thing and have no plans to go in, but at my mother's request, they can't shirk it.
The fish and shrimp will be ready in a short time, and with a few side dishes, it will be a large table.
I didn't call the fat man and Zheng Jun them, after all, they are always outsiders in the eyes of my family.
Li Lin is different, his mother died early, and he grew up with me, so it can be said that half of the food he eats is my family, and my mother treats him as half a son.
Several uncles would drink, and during the meal, my grandmother praised the fish and shrimp I caught deliciously.
I know that the fish is still the fish of the year, and the shrimp is also the shrimp of the year, but the people who catch the fish and shrimp are different.
The four uncles drank a few glasses of wine, and the eldest uncle suddenly asked my mother, "What about the wild man?" If something so big happens, don't you come back and take a look? ”
My mother was a little embarrassed, holding the chopsticks in her hand, picking up the dishes in the bowl, and defended my father: "There is something in the village, and he can't leave!" ”
The second uncle put the chopsticks down and said with some resentment: "I just said, there is no hair on the mouth, and the work is not firm, that man is unreliable!" ”
I glanced at my second uncle, a little speechless.
My dad loves to be exquisite, and he has to shave every day to look white and clean.
In the mouth of the second uncle, it has become a bad job......
The third uncle said: "That kid, I knew at first sight that he was not a good person, you see, this is not to throw your mother here, he ran away by himself!" ”
The fourth uncle spread his hands and said, "What we said back then, now Turin has answered!" ”
I feel sorry for my father, but I can intervene in other things, this kind of thing, all I can do is shut up.
In fact, there are many people now, when they see their father's brothers and brothers quarreling, they always like to stand up and say a few words, as if they are great and win glory for their father, but they don't know that it is a little bit of consumption of the older generation's affection.
And the four uncles just talked about it, if they really cared, they wouldn't rub my head lovingly.
Li Lin found a big bowl, made a bowl of rice, piled up a bunch of vegetables and stood up and said, "Brother Ding Ning, the sunset outside is so beautiful, I want to eat while watching, do you want to go?" ”
I quickly picked up a few fish and stood up with my rice bowl.
I stood up, and my daughter-in-law followed suit.
When my grandmother saw it, she slammed the dishes and chopsticks on the table, and yelled at my three uncles: "If others can't do it, just your four brothers!" ”
When the eldest uncle and second uncle talked about my father, they were full of spirits, and in those eyes, they looked down on my father as much as they looked down on my father, but as soon as my grandmother opened her voice, they were all cowardly.
Li Lin pulled me and told me to hurry up.
Grandma slapped the table and said loudly, "Come back and sit." ”
When I heard this, I had to sit back.
Li Lin didn't know if his grandmother yelled at him, he still had a mouthful of rice in his mouth, looked left and right, and came back obediently to sit.
Grandma sighed and said, "The past is over, don't mention it, look at you scared the children away!" ”
My mother comforted my grandmother a few words, telling her not to get excited, and the four uncles didn't dare to be angry, so they drank with their heads bored. Grandma also noticed Li Lin at this time, looked at Li Lin and asked, "Why does this child look like the person who came to propose marriage and burned down our house!" ”
"Mom, he is Li Xun's son!"
My mom hastened to remind.
Grandma suddenly said: "It turned out to be his children, they have grown so big." It's exactly the same as his father, but his temper is much better than his father's. ”
Grandma recalled the past and smiled heartily. The things that made her angry back then are now worth remembering.
Li Lin felt the "unkind" gaze of my four uncles, lowered his head and pulled the rice, and said with an innocent face: "Grandma, I don't know all these things you said." ”
Grandma touched Li Lin's head and asked him to eat slowly, then she glared at the four uncles and said, "Ding Ning's father is not doing well, but he also let me hug my grandson, what about you?" Look, all of them are not small, and there is not a single egg until now. ”
The four uncles had a tacit understanding, and when they heard this, they all picked up their wine glasses and stood up, and said embarrassedly: "Mom, we still have something to do, with Ding Ning and them accompanying you, we will go and get busy first." ”
The uncle took the lead, drank the wine in the cup in one go, and ran away in a gloomy manner.
Looking at the embarrassed appearance of the four uncles, I couldn't help but bow my head and snicker, it seems that the four uncles are all old bachelors now, no wonder my grandmother likes me so much.
As soon as the four uncles left, my grandmother's interest improved again, she ate several fish and shrimp, and drank a small glass of rice wine, and my mother sent her back to the house to rest.
When we eat well, there will be Miao girls to wash up, and we can also relax.
When I went to bed at night, I followed my daughter-in-law without thinking about it, but my mother saw me, stopped me, pointed to the room next to my daughter-in-law, and let me sleep alone.
Alone, I could sleep, and at eight o'clock, when there was no sound outside, I picked up my shoes, tiptoed, and secretly went to my daughter-in-law's room.
