"Be quiet!" Aunt Chunhua hurriedly turned her face and said softly, "Why are you doing so loudly?" Why didn't you quarrel with your father and the two children? ”

Lin did lower his voice and said patiently: "We have been like this for many years, you don't know what kind of person I am? this dirty hat on my head! You, because you say that your eldest son is so good and so good, you can't even understand your son's thoughts! Eh, we don't have more than one son in our family, why are you putting Sister Qiu and Dayin together? ”

Aunt Chunhua froze, "You...... What does this mean? ”

Lin was really angry and funny, hugged Aunt Chunhua and said with a smile: "Don't be busy with this matter, they are all still young, when the children are older, they have an idea in their hearts, let's find out what the children think, and then settle down for them." ”

"This ......" Aunt Chunhua couldn't tell whether she was surprised or happy in her heart, and thought about Junxiu's gentle eldest son, "When did this child have this thought?" Why don't you tell me about it! How do you know? Aunt Chunhua felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, and her son actually told his father that he didn't tell his own mother.

Lin Cheng smiled and said: "I also guessed, it's not my mother-in-law who sells melons, there are so many ladies and girls in the village, there are not a few who like our son, and I don't usually see him close to anyone, why do you help Sister Qiu cut pigs and eat grass every day?" Where to go without a big seal, you have to take Sister Qiu with you...... But not necessarily, our family is quasi-good, or it may be poor Sister Qiu...... Sister Qiu's Nizi is still young, I estimate that Dazhun didn't think clearly in her heart, so after two years, when the children are older, I believe in my mind, and we can help the children settle down as fathers and mothers. ”

"That's fine. is Dazhun is 4 years older than Sister Zhiqiu, and he is afraid that Airong will not be happy. Aunt Chunhua said, and the misunderstanding with her husband was solved, and her heart lit up in an instant, and she was very happy.

"What a good child our family is, what can she not be happy about?" Lin did have more confidence in his excellent son, squinted at Aunt Chunhua, who was happily closed, and said with a smile: "What, don't you be angry with me?" ”

Aunt Chunhua happily patted Lin Zhen's chest, and said with a smile: "What are you angry about!" Am I the one who watches the eye? Don't think of me crookedly! "No matter where Sister Qiu marries, all of them are her daughters-in-law, can she be unhappy.

The next morning, when Sister Qiu woke up, the sky was already bright, the rooster raised by the Mei family began to croak loudly, the rain outside had stopped, Sister Qiu got up from the nest, pushed open the window of the kang head and looked out, the sky was still gloomy and gloomy, and there was no sign of sunshine.

Usually the Jia family is the earliest in the entire Mei family, but today Sister Qiu all got up, and the Jia family has not woken up yet, Sister Qiu pushed the Jia family and shouted, "Mother." ”

Jia Shi still closed his eyes tightly, frowning the corners of his eyebrows, as if he was also full of sorrow in his sleep.

Sister Qiu shouted several times, and Jia Shi responded weakly, and her eyes had not yet opened. Sister Qiu realized that something was wrong, stretched out her palm and touched the door panel of Jia's head, it was a little hot, and she was panicked, so she hurriedly got up and dressed on the kang, and helped Jia's to sit up, worried, "Mother, you are sick!" ”

"I'm going to boil you hot water to eat!" Sister Qiu preached

Jia Shi opened his eyes, looked at Tian'er with narrow eyes, was startled, and sat up strongly, his face was full of gold stars, and he grabbed Sister Qiu and shook her head and said, "No need to ......"

As soon as the sound came out, both of them were startled, dumb and weak.

"Not necessarily." Jia Shi cleared his throat, "It's not early, it's time to cook." ”

Sister Qiu pressed Jia's squeeze, "How can that be?" You're all sick, so you can't take a break and heal. "Yesterday she and Jia Shi went to work in the field and all their clothes were wet, Jia Shi gave her the only change of clothes she had, and she wore wet clothes, these days and days worry about not sleeping well, it is strange not to be sick.

"Your ...... I can talk about it, your uncle is leaving this morning, and my mother will prepare the meal. Jia Shi preached, his face was bloodless, and the white was terrifying.

Sister Qiu clenched her fists, thinking about Mao's thinking about selling herself for Meiqu to study, and felt that Mao's was really hateful, if it was really the Mei family's life, if she didn't sell her family, she would starve to death, Mao's family would sell her own Sister Qiu had nothing to say, but now it is just for Meiqu to study, Meiqu has no one in her eyes, and she has to hire a soft sedan chair when she goes home, and she spends a lot of money, but Mao's has nothing to say......

The clay figures all have three points of earthiness, not to mention that Sister Qiu's body is filled with a 21st century soul. Sister Qiu gritted her teeth and said, "If you scold, you want her to scold...... She doesn't care about the lives of the two of us......" As she spoke, a bold thought welled up in Sister Qiu's heart, and the more she thought about it, the more she became more agitated, she climbed onto the kang and pressed down the Jia Shi who was about to get up, and said, "Mother, don't get up, I'll go tell my grandmother." ”

Jia Shi was startled, and whispered softly to Sister Qiu: "Sister Qiu, don't be stupid, what you said at your Aunt Chunhua's house yesterday, you must not let your grandmother know!" ”

Sister Qiu helped Jia Shi to lie on the kang, and nodded with a smile, "I'll go and boil hot water for you to eat first, mother, you can rest assured, I know what to say and what not to say." Then he laughed softly and said, "My grandmother, she can't give up your ...... that can do work."

As soon as the morning dawned, no one in the Mei family had gotten up the kang. Sister Qiu first went to the small kitchen to light a fire, boiled a gourd of hot water, and brought it to Jia's, telling Jia's that no matter what happened, just lie on the kang and not get up from the kang.

Sister Qiu picked up a few palm-sized stones from the courtyard and threw them into the rice stove to burn, the pot was full of water, the fire in the rice stove was burning, and the water vapor on the stones was very quickly dried up, and it became hot.

Sister Qiu turned out a few pieces of rotten cloth from the east house, pulled the stones out of the ashes of the rice stove one by one with a dry firewood stick, wrapped the stones with the rotten cloth, and took advantage of Mao's not yet come out, put the stones into her arms, and ran back to the east house. Although it was wrapped in several layers of rags, Sister Qiu still felt that the stones in her arms were very hot.

Mao had already gotten up, estimated that he was combing his hair, and shouted out in the room: "Eldest daughter-in-law? Are you up? Boil vegetable soup in the morning to eat, hurry up and cook, don't delay the old man to hurry! ”

Sister Qiu hurriedly responded, "Know, milk!" When he had finished speaking, he ran into the east room and put the stones in his arms in Jia's nest.

"Mother, you take this and put it on the door panel of your head, on the face. If the milk comes over, I will shout in advance, you hide the stones in the nest, and if the milk asks, you will say that you have a fever and can't get up from the kang. Remember, you should speak in two words, don't finish a sentence, it will show that you are very sick. Sister Qiu said softly.

Jia Shi hesitated, struggled to get up, and forcibly pressed Sister Qiu to lie down, a little at a loss, "How can this be?" Sister Qiu, don't make trouble, your grandmother is an elder, this ...... How can this be? "She has been filial and kind all her life, she has never lied to her elders, she is very honest, and today she is pretending to be sick and lying to avoid laziness, which really makes her feel weak.

"Mother, think about it, my grandmother is going to sell me...... Do you still give her a life's work? Sister Qiu hurriedly dropped such a sentence, and ran to the small kitchen, she wanted to eat vegetable soup in the morning, and she was determined to pick vegetables and wash vegetables.

The vegetable soup in Mao's mouth is to put a pot of water, sprinkle a handful of small yellow rice, and put green vegetables and vermicelli in the pot when the water boils. Oil should be put in the vegetable soup, so in Mei's house, vegetable soup is also a high-end meal.

The mushrooms they picked yesterday happened to be washed and put in the soup.

Sister Qiu ran to do her work, Jia Shi lay on the kang and recalled Sister Qiu's words, and felt bitter in her heart. She is not good, she didn't give Lao Xiucai a son to inherit the lineage, how did the Mao family treat her out of lineage, she felt that it was all right, she couldn't live with the Mei family. But Sister Qiu didn't do anything wrong, she is the only child of Lao Xiucai, why did she sell Sister Qiu for Meiqu to study?

She didn't dare to ask the Mao family to stop providing Meiqu with education, she just thought that if Meiqu could save a little frugality, she didn't have to hire a soft sedan chair to hire a bearer when she went home, and the Mei family might not have to sell her granddaughter. It was all Lao Xiucai who earned money for him to study, why didn't Mei Qu think about Lao Xiucai's goodness? The people of the Mei family, why are they all so ruthless?

Tears fell down Jia's eyes, and the sadness eventually accumulated into anger, Jia made up his mind, sobbing and covering his eyes with one hand, and picking up the stones that Sister Qiu had stuffed into the quilt with the other, and pasting them on the door panel of his own head.

Mao's neatly picked up, combed some of the white hair to the back of his head, tied a bundle, and after entering the small kitchen, he saw that only Sister Qiu was boiling water, and lifted the lid of the pot to take a look, the pot was boiling white water, and there was no trace of Jia's shadow left and right. Mao's was furious for a moment, and Sister Chongqiu said, "Where is your mother?" Didn't you tell her to hurry up and cook? What about people? Where did the death go? ”

"My mother is sick...... My head is so hot, I can't get up from the kang, I called her, but there was no response......" Sister Qiu raised her eyes from the front of the rice stove and looked at Mao timidly and said.

Mao was annoyed, dropped the gourd scoop in his hand and ran out angrily, and said viciously while running: "Lazy bear girls, I don't think I can control you, right?" Huh? Yesterday, I cut a few knives of wheat in the field, and I was a coquettish guest......"

Sister Qiu frightened her slightly hideous and terrifying face, and hurriedly shouted: "Milk, my mother is sick!" You go and see her, it's burning badly, milk, you can ask my mother to take a look! The sound all changed in fright, and Sister Qiu was not very confident in her own methods, afraid that Mao would find out the clues, if Mao found out that Jia was pretending to be sick, the consequences would be serious.
