Chapter 31: Four Nests
When Li was leaving, Mao went back to the hall with a straight face, ignoring Jia and Sister Qiu. Aunt Chunhua helped Jia's family back to the East House, Lin was indeed a man with Dazhun, and it was inconvenient to go in, so she went back to Jiang's house first, and before leaving, Dazhun also rubbed the top of Sister Qiu's hair.
After entering the house, Sister Qiu went to fetch water with a wooden basin with an open mouth, first washed her face, and then twisted a silk handkerchief to wipe Jia's face, and Aunt Chunhua sat on the kang with Jia.
Looking at the girl's weak palm holding a silk handkerchief to wipe her face, very heartwarming, Jia took a long breath, tears fell down, and the panicked Sister Qiu hurriedly wiped it with a silk handkerchief, but the tears seemed to be inexhaustible, and they never stopped pouring out.
Aunt Chunhua patted Jia's back and persuaded: "What are you crying about, you see how much Sister Qiu's daughter understands things and is so caring!" If I had such a good lady, I would wake up laughing in the middle of the night! ”
Jia Shi shook his head, hugged Sister Qiu, buried his face in Sister Qiu's shoulder socket, and cried out, as if he was sour.
There was a sound of the curtain being opened outside the house, and then Mao's shrill voice came, "What a howl!" I'm not dead with the old man! Heng lowered his voice again, "I'm a bad guy all day long, crying a fart, and I don't care about you!" ”
The sound of Jia's crying immediately became depressed, and Sister Qiu wanted to pat Jia's back to smooth her breath, but with her current height, she could only reach Jia's shoulders and whispered to Jia's comfort: "Mother, don't care about her." Milk is frightened in her heart, and she scolds her like this because she is weak-hearted, she is afraid that others will know that she oppresses us and pokes her back! ”
Aunt Chunhua looked out hatefully, and said softly: "You shouldn't be bullied by her like this, the old woman beats you, you will beat back, she can beat you when she is old?" beat her fiercely behind closed doors, making her suffer, and the next time she won't dare to bully people like this! ”
Although she is only angry about the housework of the Mei family, she has no right to meddle. Now this old woman is getting more and more sassy on her face, look at Airong's soft temper and easy to handle, she can focus on bullying, the first time she hit today, there will be a second and third time, can she go back and bring her husband and son to help?
Sister Qiu was also silent, and became more and more aware of the need to leave the Mei family as soon as possible. She is a 21st century person, and she understands more clearly that domestic violence is a vicious continuation that never stops.
Jia Shi stopped crying, covered his face and shook his head, "I...... Where can I hit her? She is an elder...... "The deepest reason is that Jia didn't talk about it, she has no son, and no one supports her and Sister Qiu."
"Don't talk about it, don't talk about it." Jia Shi shook his head, took a silk handkerchief and wiped his face, and said, "Chunhua, you should hurry back, your lunch will be delayed, and I will also hurry to cook." ”
Sister Qiu grabbed Jia's palm, shook her head and said, "Mother, don't go cook today." Are they hungry without you? "They don't look at you as a human being, and what do you do to serve them?
"Yes." Aunt Chunhua followed, "Airong, your hardness once, otherwise the old woman will be even more ruthless in her oppression the next time." Can't your second daughter-in-law cook? I haven't seen her like this, where is the daughter-in-law pregnant and the boss of the lunch? The mothers of the landlord's family are not as comfortable as her! Yindi is not small, and she hasn't done much work as Sister Qiu. "Who is not the daughter-in-law of the Zhuang family who is still working before the pain?
Jia's heart is a little uneasy, the family meals have always been made by her, whether it is work in the field or at home, she has always chosen the big head, and now for the first time, she does not go out in the house, disobeys the authority of the Mao family and does not cook, in her heart it seems that she is a scoundrel and lazy, there is a certain anxiety and guilt.
However, seeing that Chunhua and Sister Qiu all insisted on not letting her go out, she also made up her mind, and Sister Qiu helped her take off her shoes and lie down on the kang to rest.
Before Aunt Chunhua left, Sister Qiu took out the bag of millet candy from her arms, and whispered to her the ins and outs of the matter. Sister Qiu was sorry and said that the money from selling snake skins also had the share of Brother Zhun and Da Yin, but their mothers were now in difficulty, and they had money in the future, and then gave Brother Zhun and Da Yin the money.
Holding the bag of millet candy with Sister Qiu's body temperature, Aunt Chunhua didn't know what to say, touched Sister Qiu's head and said with a smile: "Your eldest brother is an adult, and the younger brother of Dayin also has candy to eat, you can keep this candy to eat, you don't have to give it to them." ”
Sister Qiu shook her head and smiled with crooked eyebrows, "Auntie, this is what I bought for Brother Zhun and Brother Dayin, it is my heart, you can take it back in your arms, don't let my grandmother look at it." ”
Seeing that Sister Qiu insisted, Aunt Chunhua couldn't say anything more, opened the sugar packet, took out half of the sugar into Sister Qiu's hand, and said with a smile: "You also leave some to eat." ”
Before leaving, Aunt Chunhua whispered to Sister Qiu by the door, asking her to pay attention to Jia's family, Jia's was stimulated too much today, and she was afraid that this good sister who played small and big would not be able to think about it for a while.
Sister Qiu nodded hurriedly.
Waiting for Aunt Chunhua to leave, Sister Qiu stood by the door and thought about it, then went to the latang house, Mao sat on the pestle with a puff and took the soles of her shoes, looked at Sister Qiu, and asked angrily: "What are you doing?" Where's your mother? Don't hurry up and cook rice yet! ”
Sister Qiu smiled, "Milk, my mother has a terrible headache, her face is all swollen, she can't get off the kang, and she can't cook." ”
Mao's angrily threw away the soles of the shoes in his hands, and the two daughters-in-law were all cunning, thinking that her mother-in-law was a soft persimmon?
"How much do you have a mother, are we like this? Hit her and she will throw me in the face? What are you doing? What are you doing! Mao was scolding, so he watched Sister Qiu hold the basket on the cabinet with her feet and take the nest from the basket.
Mao's habit is to leave the leftover nests in the hall and watch them for themselves, and the provincial family will eat them secretly. However, she didn't expect that Sister Qiu didn't steal food, and took it in front of her own child.
However, it was Sister Qiu who responded to her, and she cried even more high-pitched and sharp, "Milk, don't hit me!" Milk, I haven't eaten two meals with my mother! ......"
Mao was furious, "What are you calling!" Shut up! Get out and eat it! "It's embarrassing enough, what do you want to do with this Nizi film?
Sister Qiu quickly accepted the call, wiped the tears that didn't exist at all, saw that the nest in her hand was not enough, turned her head and went to get another one, took out all the remaining four nests in the basket, and went out of the hall, regardless of Mao's anger and the face of wanting to eat people.
Although the nest is hard, Sister Qiu and Jia's eat millet candy, and the sweet taste that has been lost for a long time makes both of them feel a lot better in their hearts.
In the afternoon, Sister Qiu swept the grass pigsty, these Xu Huomei Yindi can't do it, it's dirty and smelly. Sister Qiu didn't care about her so much, the grass pigsty is not clean, the grass pig will be sick, and the grass pig will be compensated for raising it for a year.
After sweeping the grass pigsty, Sister Qiu went out to cut the pigs and eat grass with the basket on her back, ready to call Brother Zhun to go with Da Yin, but she didn't expect to see the donkey standing by her door as soon as she went out, with a tight face plate and a serious face.
Sister Qiu silently took a half step back, looking at him vigilantly, could it be that this naughty boy knew that his mother didn't make a good profit here today, and the family lost money again, so she came to her to settle the account?
The donkey was wearing a gray cloth short shirt and black pants, and he didn't run out to play crazy for about a few days of recuperation, and his original black egg-like face seemed to have turned a little whiter, but the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed, and his expression was serious.
Sister Qiu looked at him with big eyes for a long time, but she didn't see him say a word, so she looked at herself so seriously, Sister Qiu's heart was furious, and she opened her mouth cautiously, "Have you been a little better these days?" ”
That day, the donkey ate the poisonous berries by mistake, and after Sister Qiu made a way to make him vomit, the Fang family invited Lalangzhong from the town to treat the donkey and prescribed a few medicines, which was something that everyone in the village knew. Today, Sister Qiu and Jia Shi went to the town to meet the donkey's mother, and they went to the pharmacy to catch medicine for the donkey.
The donkey nodded a little, a little uncomfortable, opened his mouth for a long time, and when Sister Qiu and the others were all anxious for him, the donkey opened his mouth, "Today's matter is not our old Fang's family, I will make amends to you!" ”
Sister Qiu breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, this dead boy didn't come to look for trouble, she waved her hand and said, "Forget it, your father has already made amends." "Because of this, she wants to collect two dollars, because she doesn't want to have anything to do with the Fang family anymore, doesn't Fang Laosuo feel that she owes herself a favor, so she will use the money to compensate, and the big guys will all feel at ease.
The donkey shook his head, his expression was still serious, "I am a gentleman, I dare to do it." My mother is a woman from a Taoist family, and she has no knowledge, so you don't have to worry about her. My grandfather said, our old Fang family does what he says, he is not a person who does not know Entu, and he must not ask you to be wronged. The donkey's tone became more and more solemn.
In the past few days, he has been lying on the kang to recuperate, and he can't go anywhere, and he has told him a lot of words, and he has also understood a lot of reason, and he knows that it was the mother worm who saved him.
Sister Qiu suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart, so she listened to the donkey's speech: "You can rest assured...... I will marry you in the future! ”
I thank you! Sister Qiu only felt that she had completely drenched herself in a pot of dog blood, and looked at the donkey with a solemn face, she almost wanted to catch the clothes of the 10-year-old boy and ask him, "Do you know what marriage is!" ”
Looking at this serious, loyal and old-fashioned face, it is obviously the influence of Fang Laosuo's macho big guy!
"This ...... Not really. Sister Qiu shook her hand in embarrassment, "I heard my mother say that I am already engaged, and I also received two pieces of money from your family, and it is even, and the big guys don't owe each other." ”
