Chapter 2: Farce
Sister Li Yue's heart at the moment is not as calm as it seems, even surprised, ecstatic, etc., it can be said that it is a mixed conversation, she doesn't understand, before, she was still struggling to survive in the water, she thought she was going to die, but the next moment, she was washing these utensils by the water, and she still had some doubts in her heart, but at this moment, the conversation between Zheng Tu Niangzi and Yuan's mother clearly told her that everything was back to the beginning five years ago......
Thinking of this, Sister Li Yue couldn't help but shake her head slightly, both outsiders saw the situation of the Li family clearly, but she didn't understand anything five years ago.
In the previous life, sixteen years were really alive on the dog's belly.
"Aunt Zheng, I have cleaned your utensils, you can check them." Thinking about it, Sister Li Yue smiled at the two people who were leaning on the edge of the meat case, and struggled to put the basket of utensils on the table next to the meat case. One hand is still supporting his legs, and his small breasts are panting together, looking tired.
"This still needs to be checked, you do things, I can rest assured." Zheng Tu Niangzi came back to her senses and patted her bulging chest. However, what he said was good, but the movements in his hands were checked one by one, and his two eyes were round, as if he was afraid of missing any dead end.
Fortunately, Sister Li Yue'er has nothing to fault with the work at hand.
"Okay, I'll give you pork." Zheng Tu Niangzi checked it, then lifted the meat on the side, thought about it, and picked up a barrel bone and handed it to Sister Li Yue.
"Thank you, Aunt Zheng." Sister Li Yue took it unceremoniously. Then he smiled and waved hello to the two of them and left.
Sister Li Yue was a little impatient to return home.
Last time, she was forced to marry into the Zhou family, and not long after, Old Man Zhou passed away, and she began a five-year life of seclusion, until the dry river reservoir burst and flooded Liuwa Town, and then she unexpectedly returned to the starting point.
And now everything is just beginning, Sister Li Yue raised her head, squinted, looked at the blue in the sky, the corners of her mouth curled, every time she thought about the last time, the fifth brother died of illness, the third sister and the fourth sister sold themselves, one married a fool to the second brother in exchange for a daughter-in-law, I didn't think that the second brother's daughter-in-law entered the door, but the family was poor, and ran away with someone, and then the last big water overflowed the embankment, the second brother and Bao'er little sister were swept away by the big water, and they were under house arrest in the backyard of the Zhou family at that time, and they couldn't do it.
The thought of this tingled her heart.
It's really good to be able to do it all over again, Sister Li Yue thought, then straightened her waist and walked briskly towards home with her feet on the broken snow.
The Li family's big house is on the edge of the threshing floor at the end of the village, eleven houses, it looks quite magnificent from a distance, however, the inheritance of several generations, now it is a little old, the wall outside the house, crawling full of creepers, the moss of the spotted is more vicissitudes of the years, and now the Li family house is divided into two houses, the east house lives the old couple of Li and the second uncle of the Li family, occupying seven rooms, and the west house lives Li Yuejie's family, four rooms.
There are many sisters on Sister Li Yue's side, and the four rooms are obviously not enough, but fortunately, each room is big enough, and when Li Da was alive, he used wooden planks to divide the two rooms into four, and it was enough for the family to live.
Coupled with the front half of the yard, as well as the kitchen and firewood room on the edge of the courtyard, overall, it is quite spacious.
Sister Li Yue walked to the front of the house, and saw Grandpa sitting on the long stone slab between the two doors of the east and west houses, a bamboo basket in his hand was held high, his eyes were squinted, and a bamboo strip that had not yet finished was interspersed with the edge of the bamboo basket.
"Grandpa, it's snowing, why don't you go into the house to do work." Sister Li Yue greeted her from afar, her grandfather has always been silent at home, with no opinions, no voice, no words, and often makes people ignore his existence.
Because of the partiality of Mrs. Li's wife and the ignorance of the old man Li, Sister Li Yue has always been not very close to the second elder of the Li family, but in her previous life, it was not until later that Sister Li Yue knew that the second uncle failed to swallow the real estate on his side of the house because Grandpa finally stood up, so at this time, I felt that Grandpa was very kind.
"It's a little brighter outside, and that's it." Grandpa Li had a face, but his fingers were very flexible, the long bamboo strips were wrapped around one by one, and the end of the bamboo strips was inserted into a gap, and the whole bamboo basket was completely natural, and there was no trace of crutches in sight.
As Grandpa Li spoke, he jumped off the stone slab, twisted the bamboo basket, and limped into the courtyard of the East House.
Sister Li Yue smiled and stood at the door of the West Winghouse, her hand pressed against the door, and she was a little nervous.
Gritting his teeth, he pushed the door open, but as soon as he entered the door, he saw his third sister Yue'e scuffling with his second uncle's son Li Rongyan, while her five-year-old sister Yuebaoer was sitting on the ground, holding a white-feathered reed chicken in her hand, and her big round eyes were sprinkled with golden beans.
On the threshold of the inner room, the fifth brother Xiao Mofeng, who was only eight years old, was lying there, his face was flushed, patting the threshold vigorously with one hand, and staring at Li Rongyan who was scuffling with both eyes.
Seeing this situation, Sister Li Yue was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward, helped Mo Feng to sit up first, wiped his forehead with his hand, and was burning badly, several younger brothers and sisters, the fifth brother's body bones are the weakest.
Hurriedly took another Daddy's old padded jacket and put it on for the fifth brother, and then pulled up Xiaoyue Bao'er and asked her to stay with Mo Feng, then walked in front of the scuffling two, and separated the two one by one: "What's going on?" ”
Sister Li Yue said, but she was staring at the Rongyan kid of the second uncle's family, the third sister Yue'e has always been a simple character, if she wasn't in a hurry, she would never be able to do this kind of scuffle with others.
"Eldest sister, he ...... He stole our eggs, and the eggs were to be given to ...... to make up for the fifth brother's body. Li Yue'e said with red eyes and a little stammering, and pointed to Li Rongyan, who was only eleven years old but as strong as a calf.
"What is stealing your eggs, don't talk nonsense, my aunt said, this thing house will be merged in the future, don't talk about this egg, even the old hen is also ours, how can I steal my own things." Li Rongyan raised his chin, waved the egg in his hand, and pointed to the white feather reed rooster in Xiao Yuebao'er's arms with the other hand.
The frightened Xiaoyue Bao'er hurriedly hugged the reed chicken tighter.
"East and West House Merger? How I don't know, besides, no matter what happens in the future, now, my family's is mine's, you put the eggs back. Sister Li Yue grabbed Rongyan's boy with her hand, and her eyes stared at Li Rongyan, her second uncle and aunt were so calculating.
The merger of the east and west houses has always been the wish of the second uncle, and in the previous life, because of the appearance of the grandfather, it was not possible in the end, so Sister Li Yue knew that the east and west houses could not be merged, but this does not mean that this Rongyan kid has to make inches of Hulai, this is an egg, next time it will be the chicken, and next time it may be what it is?
What's more, the fifth brother Mo Feng is sick, and this egg is for him to nourish his body, and he hasn't even tasted a bite of Xiao Bao'er.
"What are you doing, what are you doing, bullying the small with the big, bullying me with more people, Daddy and Auntie, help...... If you don't come again, your son will be killed. Li Rongyan was carried by Sister Li Yue, very unhappy, twisting and twisting, but he couldn't break free, and finally simply screamed. The eleven-year-old baby is full of the scoundrel's appearance.
Sister Li Yue'er looked at it coldly, Yue'e stood on the side blankly, looking at this, looking at that, I don't know what to do, and the old Wumo Yi sitting on the threshold on the other side gritted his teeth and scolded hatefully: "Scoundrel." ”
And with Li Rongyan's shout, immediately, a few people rushed out of the east room, the leader Li Jinfeng, Li Rongyan's eldest sister, is fifteen years old this year, one year younger than Sister Li Yue, and is a famous flower bone in Liuwa Town.
Behind Li Jinfeng, followed by the second uncle and aunt of the Li family, and at the same time there was a capable woman in her forties. The woman Li Yuejie knew that it was Hua Sanniang, a well-known matchmaker in Liuwa Town.
The flower matchmaker suddenly appeared here, and her purpose was self-evident, and Sister Li Yue curled the corners of her mouth.
"Sister Li Yue, are you looking like a big sister?" As soon as Li Jinfeng came over, he yelled at Sister Li Yue.
"This also requires people to respect you as an eldest sister, so you want to be like an eldest sister, no one cares about you as an eldest sister, so who else do you want to show the eldest sister?" Sister Li Yue replied to Li Jinfeng with a smile, in her previous life, she had to be a gentle and humble eldest sister everywhere, so that her younger siblings suffered a lot of grievances, in this life she can figure it out, gentle and humble also depends on people, she only needs to remember one thing, that is, to protect her younger siblings, and other irrelevant ...... That is, it is irrelevant, and naturally it does not need to be ignored.
"You ......" Li Jinfeng called Sister Li Yue's words to block the ground, and her face turned red with anger.
"What's going on?" On the other hand, Second Uncle Li stepped forward and asked.
"I just got an egg, they're stingy." Li Rongyan still looks like others owe him five hundred taels.
"It's not an egg, you still say that Dabai belongs to your family, and my house is also yours, and we will rely on your family to eat in the future, if I am disobedient, I will not be given food." On the other hand, Xiaoyue Bao'er hugged the white-feathered reed chicken, squeezed in front of her, and said with a milky accusation with her eyes in her eyes.
Sister Li Yue smiled lightly at the second uncle and second aunt, and at the same time turned her back and gave a thumbs up to Xiao Yuebao'er.
Second Uncle Li and Second Aunt Li looked stupid in the face of Sister Li Yue's smiling and unsmiling appearance.
"It's nothing, Sister Yue'er, don't think about it, the children's family is full of mushy, I'll teach him a lesson when I go back to the house." As Second Uncle Li spoke, he slapped Li Rongyan a few times with some annoyance.
"Isn't it just an egg, the child is playing, what are you doing beating him?" The second aunt Fang hurriedly protected Rong Yan's boy, with disdain in her eyes, and then asked Jin Feng to lead Li Rongyan back to the house.
"Eggs." Seeing that Li Rongyan was leaving, Yue Bao'er hurriedly shouted.
"Give it back to you, who is rare." Li Rongyan puffed out his cheeks, took the egg and snorted angrily, and smashed it on the ground, and the egg yolk and egg white flowed to the ground.
The Li sisters looked at the eggs on the ground, Xiao Yuebao's eyes were red, Yue'e also clenched her fists, Sister Li Yue squatted down, stared at the egg yolk and egg white on the ground, and then raised her head and said to the third sister Yue'e: "Third sister, go to the kitchen and get a bowl and spatula, you can also shovel it up, and wait for it to be washed with water, sink the sediment, and you can also scrambled eggs to eat." ”
"Oh." Yue'e answered, ran into the kitchen, and came out with a bowl and a spatula.
The three of them carefully shoveled up the egg yolk and egg white.
Second Uncle Li stood on the side, seeing that Old Man Li was leaning against the edge of the door frame, looking at him fixedly, and also felt that his face was feverish, and in annoyance, he picked up the broom placed in the yard and beat Li Rongyan's leg for a while.
"Li Zhongda, what if you beat Rong Yan, I'm not done with you." The Fang clan on the side stopped doing it, snatched the broom from Second Uncle Li's hand vigorously, and then dragged Second Uncle Li and splashed it.
Second Uncle Li's face was even more pale.
Sister Li Yue lazily watched the second uncle's family singing there, and after serving the bowl, she beckoned her younger siblings back to the house.
"Sister Yue'er, wait." At this time, the Fang clan stopped spilling again, stood up and slapped the ash on his trouser leg and shouted at Sister Li Yue.
"Huh?" Sister Li Yue turned around, and her face was so quiet that she couldn't see her expression.
"Come to the East House, your grandma has something to tell you, a good thing!" Fang said with a smile on his face.
Sister Li Yue looked at Fang's family, then at the second uncle who had a flickering look on his face, and finally at the flower matchmaker who had been standing on the side to watch the show, twitched the corner of her mouth, and nodded. There are some things that can't be avoided, so let's rise to the challenge.
"I'll help Mofeng go back to the house to rest first, he's still having a fever, come later." Sister Li Yue replied.
"Then hurry up, I can't call you grandma and wait." Fang added another sentence.
Sister Li Yue just didn't hear it, and helped Mo Feng up the house with Yue'e.
