Chapter 100: A small gathering in the county
On New Year's Day, students are on vacation, and there is no need to sell lunch that day, so the two little brothers listened to Xiaoru's arrangement and went to Liu's house early in the morning to pick up Xiaoruo and go to the county seat to gather with them.
The two brothers-in-law came to pick up their eldest sister and go back to their parents' house, but Liu Hui's mother and son didn't dare to stop them.
After all, it is a new society, not an old society, and it is no longer the mother-in-law who has the final say whether the daughter-in-law returns to her parents' home or not.
On the contrary, if Liu Hui's mother and son were stuck and did not let Xiao Ruo go back to his parents' house, the villagers would definitely drown his mother and son with a mouthful of foam.
The three sisters and brothers walked towards the entrance of the village, and some villagers saw it and asked Xiaoruo with a smile: "Where are you going?" ”
Xiao Ruo also replied with a smile: "Go to the county seat to get together with my younger brothers and sisters." ”
A villager looked at the new cotton clothes and cotton pants of the little brothers, and sighed: "Your younger brothers and sisters have a good life, and you still remember your sister!" ”
Xiao Ruo replied with feeling: "Yes! ”
The villagers looked at Xiao Ruo's empty hands: "I don't bring anything to see my younger brothers and sisters." ”
Xiao Ruo blushed, of course she also wanted to bring something for her younger siblings, but the problem was that the man and her mother-in-law didn't give her anything!
got on the long-distance bus, Xiao Ruo asked Xiao Ru about the situation of the sisters and brothers in the county.
Xiao only told Xiao Ruo about selling lunch in the county seat and selling rock sugar gourds in the provincial town.
Xiao Ruo learned that Xiao Ru was good at cooking and could make rock sugar gourds, and exclaimed: "How did Xiao Ru become so capable!" ”
The three sisters and brothers came to the small home of Xiaoru in the county seat, and Xiaoru had already wrapped a lot of dumplings, waiting for them to eat dumplings for breakfast.
The eldest sister has a hard time at her mother-in-law's house, and Xiaoru wants to take advantage of today's reunion between her brothers and sisters to let her eat something good.
Xiao Jian can only see the two brothers one day a week, so every time he sees the two of them, he is very happy.
As soon as the three little brothers and sisters entered the house, Xiao Jian rushed to the little one's side and hugged his thighs tightly and didn't let go.
Xiao Ruo hadn't seen Xiao Jian for a long time, and his eyes were wet when he saw him happy and sad, and he clapped his hands at Xiao Jian: "Xiao Jian, come, let the eldest sister hug." ”
Xiao Jian looked at her strangely and didn't speak.
Xiao Ruo's heart is even more sore and painful, she, the eldest sister, rarely takes care of her younger brothers and sisters, and Xiao Jian almost doesn't recognize her.
Xiao only pulled Xiao Jian off his lap: "Let the eldest sister hug you." ”
Xiao Jian had no choice but to stretch out his hands to Xiao Ruo.
Xiao Ruo picked him up, shook him, and asked with a smile: "What good things have the second sister eaten for you, they have gained weight, and the eldest sister is almost unable to hold it." ”
Xiao Jian thought for a while and replied, "Rice, vegetables, eggs." ”
When Xiao Ru was cooking dumplings, Xiao Ruo looked at the room with Xiao Jian, saw the rock sugar gourds in the basin, and asked in surprise: "Xiao Ru, this is the sugar gourd you made, it looks very delicious!" I heard that in the city, such a rock sugar gourd can be sold for three cents, and if it is sold for 300 on this day, it can earn thirty or forty yuan in addition to the capital of white sugar. ”
The dumplings were boiling, Xiao Ru lit a little cold water into the pot and continued to boil: "If the sugar gourd made of wild hawthorn picked can almost make so much, but now it's winter, then there are still wild hawthorns?" These sugar gourds are made of water chestnuts, and they only earn five or six cents each, and these three hundred can only earn a dozen yuan. ”
After a pause, he explained: "It's not that I refuse to tell my sister about this way to make money, but I just thought that my sister made sugar gourds and sold them for money and couldn't fall into my sister's hands, so I didn't tell my sister." ”
Xiao Ruo smiled and said, "I understand." ”
Xiao Jian struggled to slide off Xiao Ruo's body, ran over with two small short legs wearing new cotton pants, took a rock sugar gourd from the basin and handed it to Xiao Ruo: "Big sister eat, sweet." ”
Xiao Ruo took the rock sugar gourd and still put it in the basin: "The eldest sister doesn't eat it, keep the rock sugar gourd and sell it for money." ”
After the dumplings were cooked, Xiao Ru gave Xiao Ruo a large bowl of sharp sea, and brought it to the dining table for Xiao Ruo to eat.
Xiao Ruo smiled and went to pick up the bowl: "You really treat me as a guest, I'll serve it myself!" ”
Xiao Jian raised his little face and shouted: "I'll serve it to the eldest sister, I'll serve it to the eldest sister!" ”
Xiao Ruo is very gentle, Xiao Jian has been very attached to her after playing with her for a while, so he wants to do something for her.
Xiao Ruo told Xiao Jian that the bowl was very hot and he couldn't serve it, otherwise it would burn his hands, but Xiao Jian didn't listen.
Xiao Ruo couldn't resist him, so he had to hold the bottom of the bowl by himself, let Xiao Jianxu hold the bowl, and bend over to protect Xiao Jian to serve the big bowl of steaming dumplings to the table.
Xiao Ji and Xiao Chu also served Xiao Ru's dumplings to the table one after another.
Xiao Ru sat down at the table and picked up a dumpling and took a small bite, and said to Xiao Ruo: "Sister, I have made a lot of dumplings, big sister, just eat it, you're welcome." ”
Xiao Ruo smiled and said, "I'm polite when I come to you!" ”
After a while, Xiao Ruo finished eating a big bowl of dumplings, Xiao only went to serve her a second bowl, she had to say that she was full: "I'm not a pig, why didn't I eat enough dumplings in such a big bowl, don't serve it!" ”
Xiao only gave her a bowl and put it in front of her: "When you are full, you will have another bowl, my sister can't eat dumplings at Liu's house." ”
Xiao Ruo's heart was warm and painful, and he hurriedly lowered his head to hide his emotions by eating dumplings.
Everyone is full, there are still more than 20 dumplings left, Xiao Ru used cold water to prevent the dumplings from breaking the skin, put the dumplings up, and prepared to leave them until tomorrow morning to fry them in oil for Xiao Jian to eat, now that it is cold, the dumplings can stay overnight.
Xiao Ruo has never even been to the county seat, today is her first time in the county seat, Xiao Ru wants to take her for a good walk.
She took out the new cotton clothes and pants made for Xiao Ruo from the cardboard box containing the clothes and asked her to change them on.
Xiao Ruo has not worn a new dress for so many years, except for wearing a new dress on the day of her wedding, and now she is so happy that she is wearing a new dress.
Xiaoru bought her a foreign cloth with a big red peony flower pattern on a black background, which was dirty and bright.
Xiao Ruo, who changed into new clothes, immediately felt much better, and everyone looked much more beautiful.
In fact, she is very good-looking, with a standard melon seed face, big eyes, and a beautiful nose bridge, just because of her tattered clothes, and she doesn't smile every day, which greatly reduces her beauty.
Xiao Ru's five brothers and sisters went shopping together, Xiao Ru walked in front with Xiao Ruo's arm, and Xiao Ru only held Xiao Jian and Xiao Chu who were dressed round and followed behind, like two little followers.
The two sisters whispered while shopping, and Xiaoru asked, "Sister, how are you doing in the Liu family now?" ”
"Fortunately, my mother-in-law and your brother-in-law didn't beat me and scold me anymore." Xiao Ruo lied, she didn't want her younger siblings to worry about her.
Xiaoru said: "Sister, if you can't live in Liu's house, you will divorce Liu Hui and live with us!" With a bite of food from us, I won't go hungry for my sister. ”
"Well, let's talk about it." Xiao Ruo was a little tempted, no matter how she was abused by the Liu family before, she never thought of leaving the Liu family, because the concept of marrying a chicken and a dog was deeply ingrained in her mind.
Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
