It turned out that Chen's second sister-in-law and daughter-in-law and Pu Cao were sitting in the carriage with their children in their arms, and they were really like arrows, urging Dongzi to drive the jujube red horse all the way into the village. When I arrived at the door of my house, I saw that there were villagers standing inside and outside the yard, and a few people, old and young, guessed what was going on. As a result, as soon as she heard Aunt Zhang's nonsense, Chen's second sister-in-law's fright and fear that had been saved for a few days turned into anger, and she jumped out of the car and grabbed Aunt Zhang as a punching bag.

When Aunt Zhang saw that the main owner who had been falsely accused by her just now was back, she was naturally weak-hearted, and her eyes rolled all over the ground and shouted, "Oops, my stomach hurts, my big teeth have also been knocked out, and the old Chen family is going to kill someone." ”

At this time, the onlookers also woke up and turned their heads to look outside the courtyard. In the two wide-open carriage doors, two naughty boys jumped down first, and Pu Cao also helped Aunt Chen down. Everyone gathered forward with a look of surprise and greeted each other.

"Are these two boys alright? I've suffered a sin this time, so stay away from the river in the future. ”

"That's it, that's it, Aunt Chen is frightened, everyone at the entrance of the village is suspenseful."

The two naughty boys were surrounded by everyone, their faces were red with shame, and they stole their eyes and swept towards a few playmates hiding behind everyone, and immediately got out of the gap with their waists bent. The generals and the soldiers finally won the division, and they laughed with joy.

Shanzi has a generous temper again, and took Fat Dun'er to send out most of the "loot" returned from shopping and robbery, which made a group of naughty boys even laugh at the corners of their mouths.

When the old lady and the little daughter-in-law saw this, the two closest people stepped forward to stop them. After all, those food and toys are bought with money, and they are not always good at taking advantage.

Pu Cao smiled and pushed them in response, "Aunts and sisters-in-law are polite, they are all worthless playthings, and the children are happy." ”

Chunni also ran over and hugged Pu Cao's arm at this time, and asked in a loud voice, "These two children are fine, don't need to drink medicinal soup anymore?" ”

"No, it's all neat, and I'll be confined at home for the next few days." Pu Cao responded, then turned his head and said to the villagers, "The two children are a little dangerous this time, and my eldest mother and second sister-in-law are all frightened. No, this morning I bought some more pills to cure wind and cold in the medicine hall. Whoever has a child with a headache and brain fever, everyone should hurry up and take a pill back to eat, don't let the child suffer. ”

"Oh, that's thank you so much, Pucao is kind-hearted, and I feel sorry for the child the most."

"But no, my kid is more fragrant when he sees Pucao than when he sees me."

Women all over the world are average, and after getting married, they are children in addition to men. Men are her dependence, as long as no one covets them, she doesn't care much about them on weekdays, but children are the softest piece of meat in her heart. No matter how big or small it is, it's a little uncomfortable, and being a mother is a thousand times more distressed.

At this time, they heard Pucao so careful, and they didn't forget to take care of the Tao boys of each family, how could they not be grateful? Everyone is sincerely grateful, and the words are affectionate.

Aunt Chen also smiled and agreed, "This time I entered the city thanks to Pucao and Fang Gongzi, otherwise the two children would be a bit mysterious." ”

"Auntie, my aunt and sister-in-law just say a few polite words to me, why don't you follow the foreign language. It's cold outside, so let's go inside and talk about it. Pu Cao smiled and greeted everyone, "Sisters-in-law, I came back with two boxes of snacks, let's go into the house and eat two pieces before going home." ”

"No, no." Even if the skin is as thick as the city wall, it is not good for their children to go into the house to greed for two more snacks after they get food and playthings and life-saving pills. Everyone waved their hands and refused, smiled and said hello and left.

Chen's second sister-in-law was afraid that the two children would have a recurrence of the cold, so she pulled them back from the street one by one and instructed, "You are all honest, take care of it at home for a few days, or else, I will make medicinal soup every day and give you water to drink." ”

The two boys were afraid of the bitterness of the medicinal soup, so they had to wrinkle their little faces and wave their hands to disperse a group of "soldiers". Pu Cao took the magpie who was driven out of the news to the car to move things, Chun Ni wanted to go with her to see what delicious food Pu Cao brought her back, but she didn't want to suddenly remember something when the corner of her eyes swept over the yard, and exclaimed, "Oh, where is that shrew, I haven't broken her mouth yet, why did she run away?" ”

Chen's second sister-in-law also remembered this, and stomped her feet with hatred, "This long-tongued woman with a rotten mouth, she kept it while everyone was talking just now, and she disappeared." ”

Aunt Chen didn't want to cause trouble, so she smiled and waved her hand to soothe, "Okay, what do you care about a stupid person like her, let's go into the house quickly." ”

At this time, Uncle Chen's father and son, together with Liu Housheng, rushed over from the greenhouse, and everyone laughed and sat in the house for a while before dispersing.

Pu Cao returned to her house, divided the snacks and playthings and put them on the kang, let Peach Blossom and Shanzi talk and play together, and then asked Magpie and Chunni to hear that there was nothing to do at home in the past few days, so they were completely relieved.

The magpie saw that the sun was overhead, and hurried to the kitchen to cook. Pucao and Chunni unfolded a soft cotton cloth with great interest, and discussed making some clothes for the child who would be born in a few months.

As a result, it was just when the laughter was lively, and I heard someone shouting outside the door. Pucao threw down the fabric and went out to take a look, and saw four old men and old ladies standing outside the courtyard gate. She was stunned for a long time, and hurriedly greeted Chunnier in the house, "Nizi, come on, your father and... Well, that in-law came with me. ”

Chun Nier walked out of the house with a puzzled face, and shouted, "How is it possible, how can my in-laws have the face to see my father..."

Pu Cao hurriedly glared at her, and then pulled her and greeted her with a smile, "Uncle Auntie, why are you all here, come into the house and sit!" ”

Mrs. Li was carrying a basket in her hand, and Old Man Li was holding a hen that was still cooing and wailing, and the two of them took two steps forward and pulled Pucao and Chunni and asked, "Are the children okay at home?" We just heard the news this morning, so we hurried over to take a look. ”

Pu Cao saw that the old couple came against the north wind without even wearing a big jacket, and their necks and ears were red from the cold. She was grateful, and hurriedly comforted, "Don't worry, aunt and uncle, the child is fine, play in the house." ”

"That's good, that's good." Mrs. Li breathed a sigh of relief and muttered one after another, "Buddha bless, Buddha bless!" ”

Old man Li smiled innocently, pointed to the embarrassed old couple of the Liu family on the side and said, "We are halfway here, and we just happened to meet your in-laws who are also rushing here, so we will accompany our children together." Nizi, hurry up and help your mother-in-law in, it's cold outside. ”

Of course, Chunni could hear that her father was looking for a donkey for her in-laws, but she still lowered her head and pretended not to hear, and she didn't want to come forward. In the past two months, although she has eaten the hen of the Liu family and given back two carps, she can barely have some contacts, but every time she thinks of the wronged and harsh treatment she and her son have suffered in the past few years, she is unwilling to forgive them so much.

Mrs. Liu froze when she saw her daughter-in-law's cold face and the smile on her face, timidly handed the four salted duck eggs in her hand forward, and whispered, "We don't go into the house if we still have work, these are a few duck eggs pickled in autumn, and we will cook them at night to make up for the child's body." ”

If it was something else, Pu Cao wouldn't interject, after all, this was a family affair of the Liu family. But Mrs. Liu came to the door to send duck eggs to Shanzi to replenish her body, so she couldn't pretend to be confused.

She tugged at Chunni's sleeve vigorously, then stepped forward to pick up the small basin and said with a smile, "Shanzi is just a little sick with a headache and brain fever, but it makes my aunt and uncle worry about it." It's all at the doorstep, how can you not go in and sit down? No matter how busy the work is, it's not bad to drink tea. ”

As she spoke, she helped Mrs. Liu to walk into the courtyard, Chunni listened to Pucao's idea the most, and when she saw her like this, she didn't want to stop her anymore, pouting and stepping forward to help her own mother, and then followed, Old Man Li naturally smiled and invited Old Man Liu to go with her.

Mrs. Li entered the house and saw Shanzi, held him in her arms and asked carefully for a long time, seeing that this kid could really eat and drink, and his face was also red, so she was completely relieved.

Pucao sent the magpie to the greenhouse and called Liu Housheng back, and then the master and servant avoided the stove and gave the hall to Li and Liu's two families to talk.

The magpie was curious, and from time to time took the opportunity to send tea, take an apron, etc., and eavesdrop a few words, and then smiled and learned to Pu Cao, and finally said, "The slave maid heard Sister-in-law Liu say that this old man and old lady of the Liu family are not less tormenting, and they can easily forgive them after only a few days, can they cause trouble again in the future?" ”

Pu Cao cut the pork in his hand and said with a smile, "Isn't it often said that you have to be forgiving and forgiving, except for greed and eccentricity, they haven't done anything evil." Now that I'm older and know what I did wrong before, don't worry so much about it. After all, it is the grandparents of the child in Chunni's womb, if it is too raw, it will have a bad reputation if outsiders hear it. ”

The magpie thought about it and nodded, "Sister-in-law Liu is very good at the mouth, but her heart is soft, in the future, this old man and old lady will help take care of the children, how can she not watch them suffer." ”

The master and servant whispered and laughed, and their subordinates were busy, and soon sorted out the four dishes and steamed a pot of white rice. When Pu Cao entered the room and put the table, he saw that the old man and the old lady of the Liu family were red, but there was a smile on their faces, and they guessed that the two of them must have eased up, so he said, "Today, it is rare that the aunt and uncle and aunt are here, and my family has escaped a small disaster." I've made a couple of good dishes, let's celebrate. ”

Mrs. Li treated Pucao as her daughter, and she was not polite when she heard this, but Mrs. Liu hurriedly stood up and half-bowed politely, "Oh, there are cakes at home in the morning, let's go back and heat it up, but don't eat here." ”

Pu Cao was the blind person, smiled and stepped forward to help the old lady sit down, and called Liu Housheng to go to the east house to move a jar of bud grain wine.

Soon, the meal was served, and the two in-laws of Old Man Liu and Old Man Li were gossiping while drinking with a wine bowl, and they were a lot closer. A group of old girls also took their two children to eat and pick up vegetables, talking and laughing very lively.

Liu Housheng listened to it in his ears and watched in his eyes, and the big stone pressed in the deepest part of his heart completely disappeared without a trace. He secretly wiped the corners of his eyes and smothered the whole bowl of bud wine in one go.

Outside the door, the midday sun seemed to warm up for three minutes, melting a small piece of snow in the corner of the yard. These days, I see that it is getting better and better.
