Early in the morning of the second day, still as usual, Xie Qingshan, Pingtian, Qiu Niang and the Lin family went to Zhuangzi and safely guarded the shed, and the vegetable roots and soil in the vegetable shed in the province were dug up.

In the middle of the morning, Xie Wang was sitting in the east wing weaving, Zhou Hong was honestly eating candy next to him, and Xie Xuan and Zhou Qin were writing words on the sand table of Zhiyuan Zhicheng for a while, and embroidering their son's flowers to pass the time.

Suddenly, I heard a shout outside: "Dad, mother, I'm back!" ”

Xie Wang dropped the shuttle, and said to Xie Xuan with surprise on his face: "I listen to your mother's voice!" So saying, he hurried out.

Xie Xuan was puzzled in her heart, this is not a year, and her evil grandmother is not a good thing to think about, why is she willing to let Xie Huiniang come back?

Thinking in his heart, he didn't stop walking, and hurriedly walked out behind Xie Wang.

I saw Hui Niang wearing a yellow coarse cloth skirt, with a hairy skirt grinded on the skirt, a faded wool and green cloth shirt on it, a thin smoky green beetle on the outer hood, with hair in a bun, a grass comb pressed behind the sideburns, and a copper hairpin on the bun. Standing in the cold winter, wearing thin silk, I couldn't stop shivering from the cold.

She held her son in her arms, wrapped in three layers inside and three layers outside, only revealing a gap for him to breathe. Behind him were two Li Ying and Li Lian, who were also thinly dressed, wearing clothes that had been changed from adult clothes to small ones, and they shivered from time to time in the cold wind.

Xie Wang's eyes couldn't help but turn red, and he hurriedly took over his little grandson, led his daughter and granddaughter into the house, and couldn't help complaining: "Why don't you wear more clothes when you go out, and those who bring children and daughters are all women and children, so there is no one to send you?" Marrying a man and marrying a man, dressing and eating, what do you want his son-in-law to eat? ”

"Don't mention him!" When Hui Niang heard her mother mention her husband, she couldn't help but redden, and said hatefully: "He is a prisoner of pus, in front of his mother like a cat and a mouse, seeing that our mothers are bullied more than beggars, and they don't dare to say a word!" ”

Xie Wang's affection knows that Hui Niang has always been a gentle character, and he has never counted people behind his back, but this time he is probably angry, and he doesn't know what happened.

Xie Xuan watched Xie Wang and Xie Huiniang talking, but saw four eyes staring at her, and looked at her, but it was Li Ying and Li Lian. Li Ying looked at her, and smiled at her with a tense little face, but Li Lian stared at her dress, and when she saw her, she just snorted coldly and turned her face away.

Xie Xuan didn't care, seeing that both of them were in winter, and they were still wearing several layers of single clothes, Li Ying was wearing a yellowish kudzu cloth jacket, the jacket and cuffs were embroidered with simple tangled branches and green leaves, and a few holes were carefully patched, and she was wearing indigo coarse cloth wide pants underneath. Li Lian is wearing better than Li Ying, wearing a garnet red jacket on it, and the jacket and cuffs are also embroidered with a circle of entwined branch lotus, but unfortunately the jacket has been worn for a long time, and the wash is white, and the true color can hardly be seen.

Xie Xuan herself was wearing a green and white slanted Songjiang cloth shirt, eight Hunan skirts of tender lotus-colored cotton cloth, embroidered with honeysuckle entwined branches, and small yellow and white flowers embellished with green leaves falling on the cuffs of the shirt, which was very delicate. Although the eight Hunan skirts are made of cotton, the skirts are also embroidered with falling flowers and flowing water patterns, which are exactly the last time Xie Huiniang went back to her parents' house, she saw that her new dress was very plain and clean, and it took a day to embroider it for her.

She was afraid of the cold, and there was no heating here, and she was wearing a small padded jacket and cotton pants newly made by Xie Wang for her in her skirt, and it was strange that Li Ying and Li Lian had been staring at their own skirts, and compared with them, what they were wearing was indeed outstanding.

Xie Xuan and Zhou Qin walked over and pulled them together, and said with a smile: "Eldest sister, second sister, come in quickly, it's cold outside!" ”

Xie Wang took Hui Niang into the east room, untied Xiao Sheng Lin'er's package, tossed it in his hand, and frowned: "Sheng Lin'er has been five months, why is it still light?" Look at this little face, thin and pitiful. Do you have no milk? ”

"No, the eggs given by my mother are finished, and he is not allowed to eat the sorghum millet of the Li family, and there is no oil and water in the meals, so the milk is gradually gone...... Pity me Sheng Lin'er, his Li family wants grandchildren every day, saying that I don't want her three sons' households, and now that they are born, they don't want Sheng Lin'er to grow up! Hui Niang couldn't help crying, "I begged my mother-in-law to steam an egg for Sheng Lin'er every day, but she slapped me in the face, saying that I was cheap, where did I have the face to ask for eggs......"

Li Lian looked at it coldly, and suddenly said: "My grandmother said that my mother didn't eat eggs every day for the first two months, since my grandmother's family has a lot of eggs, let us come to my grandmother's house to eat......"

"You have a lot of mouths!" Hui Niang pushed Li Lian with her finger and scolded her.

Hearing Li Lian say this, Xie Wang hurriedly asked, "Have you eaten?" Hungry? I'll cook for you! ”

"I had a fight, and I didn't eat anything!" Hui Niang didn't hide it in front of her mother, and said: "I don't have to do anything, if there are leftovers, just eat hot......"

"How can I eat leftovers? Come, come with me to the kitchen and warm up with a fire, and I'll cook you something!" As he spoke, he brought Hui Niang to the kitchen again.

Xie Wang's first boiled hot water, steamed a bowl of egg custard for a few children, poured sesame oil, sprinkled green onions, Xie Xuan, Zhou Qin, Zhou Hong, Li Ying, Li Lian, Xiao Sheng Lin'er, and even Hui Niang.

"Mother, my lord, what are you doing with this? The egg didn't fall from the sky, how could it be eaten so much? It's enough to steam a few kids! Hui Niang looked at this large number of children and felt sorry for her mother's family.

"They're children, aren't you a child in front of me? In front of your father, you will always be a child when you grow up to seventy or eighty! Xie Wang smiled at Hui Niang while beating eggs.

Hui Niang heard this, thinking about the grievances she suffered in her mother-in-law's house, thinking about the days of harmony and affection in her mother's house, and thinking about the kindness of her father, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Daddy——, mother——, Huiniang, are they here?"

was in a sad place, only to hear her husband Li Changping's voice outside, Hui Niang should have heard it wrong, but saw that her mother had already gone out.

She hurriedly went out with Sheng Lin'er in her arms, and saw that her husband was really coming.

"What are you doing here? Didn't your mother let you come? I just said that you would come and help my family for two days, and I also said that I would eat inside and outside to take care of my mother's family! Hui Niang looked at Li Changping, who was ashamed, and because she was in her mother's house, she relied on her heart, and poured out her grievances regardless of it:

"I usually go to the steamer of the old lady in the Li family - I am angry every day! That's it, my mother's family is so busy that even my daughter can't go home to take a look and help, it's the same as having your son-in-law. Qiu Niang's son-in-law's family are all working in Zhuangzi, I don't expect you to bring your brother and brother to help, I just ask my mother-in-law to let you come over, and the dog I scolded will be bloody! So, what are you doing here? Mung bean skin - please (green) retreat! People fight for a breath, Buddha fights for a stick of incense, my Hui Niang is also a backbone today, let's pull out the radish and the ground is wide, and each takes care of it! ”

Li Changping had a sneering look on his face, and was about to explain a few words, but when he saw a corner, Li Changhe, the eldest brother of the Li family, and Li Changwei, the second brother, also came over.

"Auntie, are you all at home? I heard that the family Zhuangzi invited short-term workers, and a few of our brothers came to help Kai! Li Changwei just didn't hear Xie Huiniang's words, and walked over with a smile on his face.
