A boy behind him has a look of 17,8, quite tall, is very thin, pushed a frame car, the car is covered with black tarpaulin, it seems to put a lot of things, the little lady standing next to the car is like 12, except for some black, big eyes, look good and feel clever, look good.

"Who are you from the Mei family?" Without waiting for Sister Qiu to open her mouth, Lin Zhun asked first.

Sister Qiu and the others are all dressed very well, brand new brocade robes, and Sister Qiu also wears a vegan white fox fur jacket, which can be seen everywhere.

The woman took half a step back, buried her head even lower, and said, "We are relatives of the Mei family. ”

As far as Sister Qiu knows, the only relatives of the Mei family are Aunt Mei from Daijiazhuang and Mei Handian from Xiaowangzhuang, but she also doesn't want to take care of the Mei family's idle affairs, and the family is still waiting for them to come back from the cannon to make dumplings, so she pointed to the Mei family and said: "The Mei family you are going to, is it the Mei family whose grandfather is called Mei Tang?" Here it is. ”

The woman thanked the short man one after another, and led her son and daughter into the courtyard.

Sister Qiu didn't stay long, and went to Jiang's house to put the cannon fight.

The crackling sound of the cannon battle was deafening, and the exploded cannon was full of flowers, Dayin held the bamboo pole holding the cannon fight, shrunk his neck and hid back, Lin Zheng smiled and covered Sister Qiu's ears, looking at the electric light in the courtyard, and the green smoke dispersed.

It was easy to wait for the 3,000-head cannon battle to finish, and Sister Qiu's ears still felt a crackling sound echoing, and said with a smile: "This whip is really loud enough." ”

Da Yin continued: "Can it not be sounded, the grandfather went to the town to raise it, and he recognized the cannon of Lao Dai's family, so he took a fancy to the cannon of his family, and he didn't want it from others." ”

Although the red and glamorous cannon paper flies everywhere, but it is the rule of the New Year that you can't sweep the floor, otherwise it will sweep away the good luck of the new year, Sister Qiu finally glanced at the gate with the red Spring Festival couplets, and the courtyard full of red confetti, and closed the door of the Jiang family.

When passing by the door of Mei's house, Sister Qiu stopped her steps, she saw that the four people knelt in front of Mao and Mei Laosuo, and the women led by them knelt under the snow and cried bitterly. Mei Qu and Yang Xiaohong stood behind Mao with their sleeves crossed, unable to see their expressions. The door of the west wing house was crowded with the second family who looked like they were watching the play.

"This is ......" Sister Qiu pointed to the courtyard, hesitated, and listened to the intermittent cry of the woman in the courtyard, "...... Six were born, and only two of them survived...... I really can't do it...... The boy is okay to say, how can it all work...... Chuniel is all twelve years old, so she can't run around with us and suffer...... She's good-looking, and someone out there has a bad idea......"

Lin Zhun saw Sister Qiu's steps stop, so he asked softly, "Why don't you go in and take a look?" ”

"Forget it." Sister Qiu shook her head, and had already made up her mind not to care about the Mei family's affairs, "Hurry up, the family is still waiting for us to go home and make dumplings." ”

The Jiang family had already wrapped several drawers of white and fat dumplings, filled with grass pork cabbage vermicelli, and added a lot of cooked flowers

The raw oil went in, and now the heavy smell of oil wafted in the house, and the boiling water was boiling in the big iron pot in the small kitchen, waiting for them to come back.

"Eh, I'm back!" Aunt Chunhua smiled and clapped her hands, and dusted the snow on Sister Qiu's shoulders with a silk handkerchief, "Hurry into the house to warm up, look at this cold hand." He shouted at the small kitchen again: "Sister-in-law Xu, let's go to the dumplings!" ”

Sister-in-law Xu hurriedly responded in the small kitchen and pushed the dumplings on the lid drawer into the boiling water in rows.

The roasted sweet potatoes and chestnuts were buried in the brazier in the house, and when Lin Laosu saw that they were back, he smiled and pulled out the roasted chestnut chop with fire tongs, sandwiched it on the plate, and handed it to Sister Qiu, "Eat it hot!" ”

Sister Qiu hugged Wanwan and said with a smile: "Looking at Ye like this, I have thought of an idiom." ”

Lin Zhun also smiled, peeled off the burnt chestnut skin, broke the fragrant chestnut into several pieces, fed it to the mouth of the evening, and said, "I also thought about it!" ”

Dayin was a little confused with the monk, he had read the book so-so, and was in a state of being satisfied with the words, so he asked: "What idiom?" ”

Lin Zhun glanced at him and said, "Who told you that you were not good at studying before?" Evening, you teach your goduncle. ”

After swallowing all the chestnuts in his mouth in the evening, he really looked at the big seal and said, "Uncle, it's a chestnut from the fire!" "It's not okay to have a small eye that is contemptuous.

Sister Qiu looked at the stunned big seal and smiled meaningfully, "Take a look, you might as well be late!" ”

The body of the Great Seal was incomplete, and his face was full of thunder, and he couldn't believe it, "This is impossible!" It's a little bit older late......"

What a blow, the two-year-old little milk baby knows more than him!

In the end, Lin Laosuo couldn't help but laugh, and he really couldn't bear to see his little grandson lose his soul and be lonely during the New Year, so he smiled and said: "You didn't come back a year ago, when we roasted chestnuts, Da Zhun taught it to Wanwan, Wanwan is smart, and you will remember it as soon as you learn!" ”

"I'll just say it!" Da Yin Hengheng doubled, and looked at the couple who were playing tricks on him accusatory, "Big brother and sister-in-law bully people!" ”

Sister Qiu glanced at him, and said with a smile: "You bullied my family first." "I actually coaxed me to add ice lings late and night, is there a bad uncle like him, she is just talking to Lin Zhun to vent her anger for her daughter.

Before the dumplings were served, Sister Qiu asked Lin Laosuo, "Master, just when we went home to set off the guns, a few people came to the door of the Mei family, saying that they were relatives of the Mei family, why didn't I remember that they had this relative?" Sister Qiu told Lin Laosu about the appearance and characteristics of several people.

Lin Laosuo hugged Wanwan and thought for a long time, shook his head and said: "I don't know, all the relatives of the Lao Mei family are counted, I haven't heard that they have such relatives, it may be that distant relatives who can't beat the eight poles come to defect." ”

The 31st big guy came over in the New Year, and it was definitely not here to pay New Year's greetings.

After the family finished setting off the cannon and the hot dishes and dumplings were on the table, Lin Laosuo ate two glasses of wine before patting his head and saying, "I wonder where that person is!"

”

"Who?" Lin Zhun asked with a smile, it's really hard for the grandfather to think about this thing all along.

Lin Laosuo's expression was very serious, "Xu is Sister Qiu's eldest aunt, called Da Nier, and she is back!" ”

After Lin Laosuo said this, Sister Qiu suddenly thought about it, she really has a biological aunt, but before the Jia family married into the door, Aunt Mei had already married away, it seemed that the marriage was very far away, and no one in the Mei family had mentioned it, as if there was no such person, the Jia family was timid and cautious, and would not ask.

"It's just that it's not necessarily your eldest aunt, she has been married for 20 years......" Lin Laosu took a sip of warm wine and sighed, "Who knows whether to live or die?" Iniquity! ”

Lin Cheng hurriedly interrupted, smiled and gave Lin Laosuo a wooden chopsticks sauce donkey meat, and said: "Father, taste this meat, the sauce has been for several days, and the spring flowers are boiled up again, and the taste is very good!" "It's unlucky to say that the New Year is dead or alive!

In the evening, everyone gathered around the carbon brazier, listening to the continuous sound of cannons outside, peeling flowers and nagging, because there is a new daughter-in-law to keep the New Year, Sister Qiu is responsible for teasing Liu Fanghua, Lin Zhun teasing Da Yin, making the newlywed couple red-faced, and finally Da Yin jumped out and muttered: "If you don't take you to be a big brother and sister-in-law like this, you will be bullied and oppressed me and my daughter-in-law!" ”

The whole family laughed, and when it was late at night, Wanwan began to doze off, sitting in Sister Qiu's arms, with little heads, Lin Zhun and Sister Qiu sent Wanwan back to the house to sleep first.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, it is the day when the villagers visit each other to pay New Year's greetings, and there are more people from the Jiang family, and the huge courtyard is all crowded, and there are people everywhere. Sister Qiu's goosebumps from compliments all rose, and she really couldn't stand it, so she found an excuse to come out with Lin Zhun and Wanwan.

The weather was still cold in early spring, and the river side was covered with thin ice floe, and the snow in the ground had not yet melted, and it was clattering in the ground. Very soon, there were children in the village who went to play with each other, and Sister Qiu didn't want to detain her, so she told the older children not to approach the riverside, and accompanied them to run and play wildly.

The two followed the child and walked slowly, and after walking a few steps, they bumped into Fleur and Dawei who came out of the door.

"You guys just came out of the door?" Fleur said with a smile.

Sister Qiu smiled and nodded, not wanting to explain too much.

"Then do you know that the guests of the Mei family came yesterday?" Fleur whispered to Sister Qiu.

In this area of Huyang, the gentleman-in-law is regarded as a guest, and he cuts a sound.

Sister Qiu immediately asked, "You mean, my eldest aunt and eldest aunt are here?" ”

"Do you remember your aunt?" Fleur smiled a little surprised and said, "I went out today, and several families are all talking about this, all of them say that the uncle and lady of the Mei family have been married for 20 years, and I don't know where I got married, but I didn't expect to come back and see her again." ”

Sister Qiu thought about the eldest aunt's family, all of whom were poor and destitute, if they just came to live with relatives for a few days during the New Year, if they couldn't live their lives, the Mei family had just separated

, I'm afraid that whether it is Mei Tang or Mei Qu, they will not be willing to take in Aunt Mei's family.

She and Jia's all wanted to sell for money, and besides, Aunt Mei, who had not seen each other for 20 years, said to be close relatives, but in fact they were almost inseparable from strangers.

When I went home, it was close to noon, and the villagers who came to pay New Year's greetings were almost gone, and Sister Qiu said to Lin Zhun and Lin Laosuo, and Lin Laosuo let out a long sigh. "At that time, your eldest aunt was 13 years old, your father was thirteen, and your grandmother really had no money for your father's education, so she hired Da Nier to a trader passing by, and collected 10 taels of silver from others, so she asked Da Nier to follow him." Lin Laosu preached. "They talk to the outside world that they are a trader, but in fact they are a merchant, collecting and exchanging sugar water hyacinth jelly beans or something, eh, creating evil!"

Mei Daniel was only 13 years old when she got married, and she was "hired" by her parents, but what is the difference between it and "selling"? She thought back to the old, short man standing beside Aunt Mei, who looked older than Aunt Mei.

For a moment, Sister Qiu unconsciously resented Mao's ruthlessness and viciousness, people could even push their own daughters into the fire pit, and she could all be ruthless to kill the little granddaughter that Aunt Mei gave her...... It's so merciful!

On the second day of the first month of the first month, Sister Qiu and Lin Zhun returned to their mother's house with Wanwan, and after dinner, Sister Qiu told Jia about Aunt Mei.

"Is there such a thing?!" Jia Shi was very surprised, and then shook his head and said, "I don't know anything about it, and no one has mentioned her." When I went to Mei's house, I can only blame my life for being too bad with such a father and mother......"

Mei Yindi is all gone, and after years of this, there is no news at all, and the Mei family is not a bento, there is no such person? After years of cold heart and cold lungs, Sister Qiu is used to it.

"If you ......," Jia hesitated for a moment, before speaking, "if it's convenient, you can pull a handful and pull a handful, and don't go too far." After all, she was hired by a merchant for your father's education, otherwise how could she marry a serious family. It's just that she wants to have a virtue with Mei Lao Er, so don't ignore her. ”

Sister Qiu nodded, "Eh, I know." ”

Aunt Mei's experience is just a representative of thousands of unlucky female babies, these years have not been fighting, it is a peaceful year, and the days are better to gradually reduce the bad things about the female baby, if it encounters a famine year, there are not too many people who sell their daughters, and there are not a few people who change relatives between the two families, and those parents who want the boy to marry a daughter-in-law casually hired the girl to a family with a daughter, whether the other party is a cripple or a fool.

Sister Qiu can't understand those ruthless parents, if she and Lin Zhun would rather starve to death by themselves, they would be reluctant to sell Wanwan or exchange them for relatives.

Early in the morning on the fourth day of the first lunar month, the Mei family tossed.

Aunt Mei came back on the day she was 30 years old, and she knelt in the snow with her family, and cried a lot in front of Mao and Mei Laosuo

A quarter of an hour later, Mao and Mei Laosu allowed them to live in the east house where Mei Liang's family had lived before.

Mei Qu and Yang Xiaohong endured this for a few days, and on the fourth day of the new year, they couldn't bear it anymore.

"The water spilled by this married daughter is a reason that a 3-year-old child understands! It's been more than 20 years since my aunt and sister got married, and now I'm taking a family to live in my mother's house? Yang Xiaohong stood by the door of the East House with her waist crossed, and her voice was sharp and high. People go back to their mother's house to see their father and mother, not to mention the big bags and small bags of gifts to the door, and there is no empty-handed, the eldest aunt and sister said that the daughter went to her mother's house empty-handed, and the old villains all ate and lived in vain, and they were not ashamed of this face? ”

Aunt Mei sat in the room, listening to the sour words outside the room, her dark and thin face was flushed with shame, and after staying for a while, she didn't see Mao come out to say a word, only came out.

She didn't dare to stand up straight in front of Yang Xiaohong and speak, she bent down and lowered her head, and said softly: "Third brother and sister, I really can't do this...... If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't get by, I wouldn't have come back to bother my father and mother...... His father has been very sick for many years, and Chuniel is also older, so he can't continue to sell goods......"
