Chapter 41: Never Forget It
This kind of day, Mrs. Li feels that she can still live a very good life, and she almost can't miss it every day.
Now that the two brothers Mei Xiaoque and Mei Changgui have gone to the field, the courtyard of the Mei family is quiet for a while.
I heard the sound of little girls laughing outside the courtyard, and then the courtyard door was pushed open with a creak, and Xiaoque and a little girl walked in.
Mei Xiaotong raised her eyes and looked, isn't that Xiaoque's good partner, Bamboo Leaf?
The little girl with bamboo leaves walked into the courtyard of the Mei family, and when she saw Mei Xiaotong and the Wen family, her face showed a little embarrassment, thinking that it was because the Li family and the Mei family had divorced, although she was small, but because her family was next to Li Jinzhi's house, she heard everything.
Naturally, she knew that this was the Li family's fault, so she was a little cautious on her face, as if she was afraid that the Mei family would not welcome her.
Mei Xiaotong didn't think so much for a while, in her heart, Li Zhuye's family and Li Jinzhi are not a family, the two families are just Li Zhuye's grandfather and Li Jinzhi's grandfather are brothers, and it is not good for Li Jinzhi to withdraw from relatives, what does it have to do with Li Zhuye's family?
I finally wore a thread to the past, and I was tired, so I put down the needle and thread in my hand and smiled at Li Zhuye: "Zhuye is here, come and sit!" Golden branches, pour a bowl of water for the bamboo leaves. ”
Wen will not worry about this with a little girl's family, and he is a gentle person by nature, knowing that Zhuye is good with his daughter, he also smiled at her.
Li Zhuye's heart relaxed, and he picked up the small bench next to him and sat down beside Mei Xiaotong: "Auntie, are you learning to do needlework?" ”
Mei Xiaotong sighed: "Yes, it's a pity that I'm too fat, and now it's difficult to even hold a needle." "Anyway, it's a fact that she's fat, and there's nothing to hide.
Li Zhuye has never dealt with Mei Xiaotong on weekdays, and only heard Xiaoque say how bad her aunt is, but last time she also sent her a head rope, and when she came today, not only did she not shake her face with herself, but she also talked to herself so kindly.
The little girl thinks that in fact, everyone has misunderstood the Mei family's aunt, and people are not as bad as everyone says.
The soft-hearted and enthusiastic little girl felt that the Mei family's aunt was so misunderstood, she must be sad and sad, and she had to be comforted and comforted: "Auntie, are you rich?" I heard that only the eldest lady in the city can be so rich! Which girl in our village can look like this? It's all a blessing! ”
Didn't feel comforted at all?
Mei Xiaotong lowered her face, and she was very suspicious that Li Zhuye, the little girl, was angry with herself? But looking at the sincerity on her face, the posture of mobilizing all her emotions to comfort herself, how can you look like it?
However, the little girl Li Zhuye seemed to be in order to increase the credibility of her words, and looked Mei Xiaotong up and down carefully, but her expression became solemn.
Just as Xiaoque came over with water, he was pulled by Li Zhuye, and a bowl of water was splashed on the ground and on himself, fortunately it was warm water, and he put the bowl aside with his feet, patting the water stains on his clothes, "What are you doing with your hairy hands and feet, Zhuye?" Luckily, I didn't pour hot water, otherwise what would I do? ”
Li Zhuye didn't listen to it at all, but patted Xiaoque's shoulder: "Xiaoque, have you noticed that my aunt is thin?" ”
Xiaoque and Wen were stunned for a moment, and they both looked at Mei Xiaotong.
Mei Xiaotong smiled at Li Zhuye, little girl, have vision!
Xiaoque and Wen's are together with Mei Xiaotong every day, but they really didn't notice it, and after looking at it for a long time, they only felt as if they seemed to be thin? But my aunt (sister-in-law) seems to be so fat even after losing weight?
Li Zhuye saw that Xiaoque and Wen didn't seem to believe her words, and tried her best to prove that she was right: "You see, my aunt's face used to be like a footbasin, but now it's just like a washbasin; There is also the old aunt's chin, which used to be three layers, but now it is only two and a half layers; Also, there is my aunt's eyes, which used to be the size of one slit, but now, well, at least two slits are as wide......"
Mei Xiaotong looked at Li Zhuye expressionlessly: I thank you for the compliment! If you observe me so carefully, you must love me deeply, right?
It was Xiaoque, listening to Li Zhuye's example, while observing it for a long time, before nodding solemnly: "Zhuye, you're right, my aunt's waist used to be as thick as a water tank, but now, it's only thicker than a bucket, and my aunt's arm used to be as thick as the mouth of a bowl......"
Mei Xiaotong felt that she didn't have to endure it anymore, and if she endured it any longer, she felt that she could be exploded by anger.
barely controlled his expression, not so hideous, rolled up his sleeves, and his hands were clenched with a rattling sound: "Mei Xiaoque, you have to talk more, believe it or not, I can beat you like a pig's head today?" ”
Xiaoque's voice stopped abruptly.
looked at Mei Xiaotong in horror, and then looked back at Wen.
Wen's liver was also cautious, and he recalled the scene when his sister-in-law was angry and mad before.
In the past, my sister-in-law rarely lost her temper, but not because she had a good temper, but because everyone obeyed her, at most, she lost her temper when she didn't go well, slammed the door, kicked a stool or something.
The valuable things are all collected by the mother-in-law, and the sister-in-law of the stove house generally does not enter if she is dirty, and the kitchenware is also spared, so the family only treats her little girl's temper and does not take it seriously.
But last time he was rejected by An Huahao and threatened to withdraw from the marriage, the sister-in-law went home crying, and the trouble is still fresh in my memory.
It was like a thief in the house. In addition to the bed she slept on, she couldn't smash it, and none of the furniture in her room could escape, otherwise with the degree to which Mei Xiaotong was favored at home, and Mei Zhongzhong was a carpenter, could she make her daughter's cabinet legs lame and lean against the wall?
That's because the sister-in-law lost her temper and pushed her down, Huo Huo had a lot of things, and she was still looking for death to live, blaming this and that at home, saying that her family had delayed her and something like that.
Angry, my father-in-law lost his temper, and strictly ordered his mother-in-law not to make up for his sister-in-law, and all the damaged furniture was thrown into the firewood room as firewood.
If the sister-in-law is crazy again, Wen will look left and right, and think that he should snatch the sewing basket back to his house first? This is her tool to make money!
But I'm afraid that it's okay if I don't move, but I'm afraid to remind my sister-in-law when I move, what can I do if I take the sewing basket and smash it first? Wen was entangled.
I saw Mei Xiaotong glaring at Xiaoque angrily, stretched out her hand to twist the frightened Xiaoque's face, and then pushed her towards the bamboo leaf: "I'll make it clear today, from now on, if I hear anyone say I'm fat, as long as I get involved with fat, don't blame me for being unkind!" Roll on! Don't get in the way of my eyes at home, go out with bamboo leaves! Don't get in the way of me learning needlework! ”
As he spoke, he sat down and continued to thread the needle hard.
I hate bear children the most! It's so annoying, the knife stabs the heart!
It's decided, the fourth brother didn't ask for the golden branch last time, and the silk flowers that she picked up won't give Xiaoque, a little kid! I don't give this little broken child a good look this month, hum! She's such a stingy person!
Mei Xiaotong happily decided.
suddenly felt that when Mei Xiaotong felt good, at least when she was not happy, she didn't have to hide her emotions, she had a seizure whenever she wanted, and others were still trembling.
It feels so good!
Xiao Que escaped death, frightened, pushed by Wen again, and was pulled out by Zhu Ye with his tongue out.
The two hid outside the courtyard wall, and heard Wen's voice in the courtyard: "Little sister, I'm really sorry, don't be angry with Xiaoque, she is a child who is ignorant and full of nonsense, when she comes back, I will teach her a good lesson!" Let her pay you a no! ”
What else can Mei Xiaotong do? Anyway, she is also a civilized person, and she can't do such a thing as beating a bear child.
However, with Mei Xiaotong's previous personality, it would be good if she didn't beat Xiaoque, and she could still give a good face?
Therefore, after listening to Wen's words, he didn't say much, just snorted to express his displeasure, and buried himself in the needle.
Wen sat awkwardly on the side, not standing, not sitting, wanting to say two good words and coax the sister-in-law, the more anxious she was, the more stupid she was.
Although Mei Xiaotong shook her face to Wen's, the more she thought about it, the more unhappy she became, thinking that back then, her original body, not to mention a stunning beauty, was also a little beauty, and now she is ridiculed for her basin face, bucket waist, bowl mouth arms, thin slit eyes, three chins, as long as it is a woman, who can bear it?
Mei Xiaotong, who turned grief and anger into strength, stopped talking, and now she herself is very hurt and has no time to pay attention to other people's feelings.
I don't know if it's the reason for my grief and anger, but my fingers seem to be more flexible, or I have found a feeling, and if I wear it four or five times, I can always wear it once.
Outside the courtyard, Xiaoque and Bamboo Leaf looked at each other.
Or did Zhu Ye pull Xiaoque all the way to stand still before sticking out his tongue: "Xiaoque, did I say the wrong thing today and offend my aunt?" ”
Xiaoque's face turned pale, and she was still worried in her heart, her aunt must be angry like that, what should she do if she sues her grandmother?
Thinking of the consequences, Xiaoque was reluctant, more worried than Zhuye: "What are you afraid of, just go home, what can I do?" Alas, why do you think I just followed your words? It's good now, my aunt has a grudge, I guess I haven't eaten for the past few days! ”
The voice was full of remorse!
If you don't have anything to eat, you're afraid of being pumped by milk! The soles of the shoes, the feather duster, the willow strips, the tools for pumping people's milk are all kinds of things, local materials, what you touch is used to smoke, anyway, she is skilled, and what tools she uses will not hinder her strength?
Xiaoque wants to cry!
Zhu Ye pulled Xiaoque's hand apologetically: "It's all my fault, I shouldn't talk nonsense, if you don't have anything to eat at home, I'll leave some for you, and you will secretly come to my house to eat when the time comes." ”
Although Xiaoque is small, she is also smart, knowing that during this time, Mrs. Li is about to explode when she hears the surname Li, where does she dare to commit a crime against the wind? Going to Li's house? I'm afraid that if the front foot enters the door of Li's house, the back foot and leg will be broken.
I just shook my head and didn't dare.
The little girl was scared and regretted at the moment.
Zhu Ye was embarrassed in his heart, seeing that Xiaoque wanted to go home again, and was afraid of going home, he thought hard for a long time before he came up with an idea: "Or, when you go back, you will say what I said, I want to ask your aunt, do you want that gardenia tree?" Now that the tree is full of buds, it will be too late if you don't transplant it. Our gardenia is famous far and wide, so let's say that this flower tree is an apology for me to say the wrong thing, so that my aunt will not be angry with us again? ”
Xiaoque also had no choice, hesitated, nodded, and the two little sisters broke up and went home separately.
Seeing Xiaoque walk away, Zhu Ye sighed, don't look at the generosity she just said, but there is no bottom in her heart! A few days ago, she took it upon herself to agree to send flowers to the Mei family, and her mother was a little reluctant, but because the two in-laws were about to become roundabouts, she didn't say much.
