Chapter 5 Mother's Family
When Lin Yuan returned to the house and fetched water under the kitchen to wash the fruits for Wen Wan, his mother came over and patted her son on the shoulder, and whispered to him about Wen Wan's desire to go back to her parents' house.
Seeing that his mother frowned and wanted to stop talking, Lin Yuan wondered, "Ah Niang, what's wrong?" ”
His mother looked around at this time, and probed her son's tone hesitantly, "Why does Wanniang want to go back at this time?" Did she annoy our family last time? ”
Lin Yuan hurriedly smiled and reassured his mother, and he brought a large pot of red mountain plums dripping with water into the house. Wen Wan swallowed her saliva and couldn't wait to run to him, picked one up casually and hugged it, enjoying it with a "click" look. Sweet and sour appetizing, very good!
"Back to my parents' house tomorrow?" He looked at the mother-in-law with a bulging face and asked casually.
"Let's go back and see." She chewed on the flesh and slurred.
Seeing Wen Wan's squinting eyes and intoxicated face, her lips were dipped in juice like a high-grade rouge, Lin Yuan also picked up a plum and threw it into his mouth, the juice burst out, and he suddenly lost a mouthful of sourness.
He spit out two mouthfuls, but his cheeks were still tight and his tongue was numb. I had to squat to the side of the water tank in a hurry and bend over to pour cold water, regretting it while pouring it and wanting to slap myself!
The next day, when the rooster "clucked", Lin Yuan helped Wen Wan to sit on the ox cart full of vegetables and snacks, and staggered to her mother's house, Guzi Village.
The autumn breeze is blowing, and the morning glow is dotting. The scattered mountain villages reflect the morning glow, the cow babies in the distance shout briskly, and the white cooking smoke flies gracefully into the blue sky. Wen Wan reveled and took a deep breath, there are really some trees and trees are autumn colors, and the mountains and mountains are only the artistic conception of sunset.
When it was dark, the little couple arrived at the entrance of Guzi Village. Wen Wan saw from a distance that several male babies with horns were playing with each other, and the laughter of "giggling" pierced the sky.
I don't know who shouted, "Wen Youcai, do you see if that's your sister?" ”
A childish boy wearing a frost-colored cloth shirt and a runny nose suddenly ran out of the crowd and got into front of the ox cart, first arched his hand towards Lin Yuan one by one, and then grinned loudly at the gentle call on the ox cart, "Sister, Sister, are you here to see the talent?" ”
The sound is crisp and refreshing.
Wen Wan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that this was Wen Youcai, the little overlord of Guzi Village, and she was also the most painful younger brother before she got married.
She climbed out of the ox cart, squatted down and wiped his green snot with a bean-green handkerchief, and went to pull his dirty hands. Do you rejoice? ”
Wen Youcai drove away the gang of henchmen behind him who covered their mouths and laughed at him, and twisted the twist in his sister's arms, "Joy, joy!" ”
Can you not rejoice? He looked at a cart of melon and fruit snacks without blinking through his gentle shoulder socket eyes, and asked his sister with a fluttering eyebrow, "What good things did you bring me when you came back this time?" ”
Wen Wan pursed her lips and spread her hands, blinking innocently, "Oh, come out in a hurry, sister forgot!" ”
The doll, who was still enthusiastic just now, instantly pursed her mouth, her eyes were slightly red, and she lowered her head and kicked the innocent stones on the side of the road. He never knew that there were people who were so upright without gifts, and he didn't know how to speak for a while, and only after a while did he choke up and said, "It's good to come back, let's go home!" ”
That pretending to be strong made Wen Wan can't help but laugh, "I only brought Yunlaiju's meatloaf, I just don't know if you can eat it?" ”
Wen Youcai's face instantly changed like the sky in June, and he hugged Wen Wan's neck and kissed her face excitedly, "Eat!" Eat! You little lady is so stingy, you didn't tell me before, I'm afraid you want to eat my nephews! ”
The little adult-like child's voice was full of joy, which made Lin Yuan smile and bend over, he jumped out of the car and carried his wife and uncle into the carriage and couldn't help touching his head. After Wen Wan got into the car and sat down with her younger brother, she drove the car to the village with a bullwhip.
"Auntie, Auntie, Sister is back! Brought me meatloaf too. As soon as the ox cart stopped in front of a blue brick compound, Xiao Youcai jumped out of the car with a meatloaf in his mouth and rushed into the courtyard in a hurry.
Wen Wan's mother was squatting in the courtyard to dry yellow sauce, and when she saw her son running into the house with sweat, she just wanted to scold, but she heard her son say that her daughter had returned. She patted her ashes and stood up, rushed over and asked him, "Who?" Who are you talking about? How many times have you been old? ”
Wen Youcai sat on the low stool at the door, nibbling on the oily meatloaf, and replied vaguely, "Third sister, marry the third sister of Lizi Village." ”
The Wen family has three sons and two daughters, except for the youngest child, the rest of the children have already married and separated, and the second elder lives with the eldest son. Because the family has been running a tofu workshop and a tofu shop for generations, life is very good.
When she heard that the little girl who was the most painful returned, she couldn't take care of her son, so she hurriedly untied her headscarf and rushed to the gate of the courtyard. opened the courtyard door, and sure enough, I saw that her heart and liver were looking at her with a big belly, and Yan Yan smiled: "Auntie!" ”
A coquettish call almost made her tears roll down, but she ignored Wen Wan, and only greeted Lin Yuan enthusiastically with red eyes.
"Uncle is here, come in, what are you doing with so many things?" As he spoke, he wiped his hands on his apron and picked up his things.
When he entered the hall, Wen Wan and his mother served tea and poured water, "Your father-in-law has not come back since he went to the tofu workshop, you sit down and drink some water first, and I will roll out a bowl of noodles for you." ”
"There is a mother-in-law" Lin Yuan bent down and arched his hand.
Wen Wan, her mother hurriedly waved her hand to let her son-in-law sit, and glared at the girl who was pretending to be deaf and dumb on the side, "You come over to help." ”
Wen Wan had to tiptoe into the kitchen with her mother, and seeing her mother pouring water and noodles busy, she consciously sat on a low stool to light the fire for her mother. The moment her mother raised her hand to wipe her sweat, she saw a few silver threads slip down.
"Tell me, what are you coming back for? I look at your complexion, it shouldn't be two people bickering. Speaking of which, he glanced back at Wen Wan.
"I miss my mother, come back and see." Gentle words are conclusive.
"Don't be sloppy with your mother, I won't know the meat that fell from my body? You reassured me by saying it early. "It's been almost a year since her daughter got married, and she hasn't seen her back twice, and now she is inconvenient but she comes back to see her, I really miss her to have a ghost!
Seeing that her daughter didn't speak, she frowned and glared back at her, "Is the money not enough to spend?" ”
Thinking of this, her face was gloomy, and when she threw the dough, she poked Wen Wan with her sharp fingers, but Wen Wan didn't dare to reply or move, and shrank her head in fear.
"If you don't tell me about his family background, I also know, your sister-in-law and I are looking for so many people for you, you don't want to find the poorest!" Thinking of this, she gets angry, just like her father's stubborn donkey!
"Tell me about you, who grew up in the palm of Lao Tzu's mother's hand since childhood, but you want to go to Lizi Village to live that hard life! If it weren't for the fact that others are still useful, and I am considerate to you, I am reluctant to give him my heart and liver! You're still very happy, and you're willing to come back with a good stomach! She hated to knock her daughter's head on the head, wondering if she was in the water?
Wen Wan didn't dare to refute, and when her mother finished venting, she pulled the corner of her clothes and coquettishly, "Auntie, I don't have any money to spend, if I don't help your daughter, I will have to sell the dowry." ”
Looking at the big-bellied girl who is shaking her head, her mother just wants to knock her to death with a rolling pin!
"Ah Yuan has found a shop to make a living, and now he is demolishing my dilapidated house and rebuilding it! No, the money that came and went was spent! You wouldn't really let your daughter sell her dowry, would you? She said this as she should have done and was brazen.
Hearing this, her mother turned white and her daughter was relieved, people said that children are debts! She has a rich family background, and her son and daughter-in-law are diligent and filial, but she feels sorry for the poor marriage of this little girl.
"I'll give it to you tomorrow, and you can stay at home for two more days. What good things can you do over there! She was angry and distressed, but finally sighed and compromised.
When Wen Wan nodded in agreement, her mother's face improved. Thinking that the pheasant brought back by Da'er can be stewed for his daughter to drink at night, and his own dried tofu skin can also be eaten by his daughter. While counting the good things at home, oh, and the eldest daughter-in-law's white fungus red dates that honored her also brought back to her daughter!
is chattering, and I can't wait for good things to subsidize my daughter.
Wen Wan held her chin and smiled happily, her face was like a puff of puff puff, "A-Niang, bring it too, cook rice for me and A-Yuan!" ”
"Go, go, don't come to this set! Don't be too lazy to see if your father doesn't kill you! It's all your mother-in-law's habit, and I can't look down on her style! "She is not used to her daughter-in-law, only her daughter-in-law has always cried, not her angry!
Wen Wan was lonely and helpless in her last life, but she didn't expect that in this life, she was full of her parents' fate, and she was very favored by her parents.
As he spoke, a pot of noodles was ready, the toppings were thinly chopped shredded meat, dried tofu and sour cowpeas spread across a layer, and there were two poached eggs lying under the bowl for Lin Yuan. Although he dislikes the words, there is nothing unpleasant for mothers-in-law in the world to look at their sons-in-law. Lin Yuan took the noodles and ate them with a loud sound, and silently sandwiched all the eggs into the gentle bowl before he buried his head in eating happily. When Wen Wan's mother saw this, she squinted her eyes and relieved herself.
After two bowls of noodles, Lin Yuan touched his stomach with satisfaction, only to feel that the warmth in his stomach was really comfortable. The noodles are sour, spicy, salty, fragrant and chewy, they are really delicious, no wonder their mother-in-law's craftsmanship is good! Even Wen Wan and Wen Youcai, who had a small appetite, killed a bowl.
In the evening, the Wen family's compound was really lively, and the hall was full of two tables. The men's table was full of wine and drinking, but the women's table was quiet. The most chic and cheerful are the children who run and chase around the table, laughing and playing, and occasionally opening their mouths to swallow the food that the adults bring to their mouths.
Wen Wan shook her legs under the table, eating meat and drinking soup freely, like a luxurious rich man. The banquet at night was renovated by my sister-in-law, not only the dishes were rich, the taste was not bad, and the most important thing was that the japonica rice was enough! The daughters-in-law chosen by her mother are all filial and capable, so her sister-in-law, who is favored by her mother-in-law, will always be a pampered guest at home.
At night, the two rested in Wen Wan's former house, Lin Yuan was rolling up his sleeves to wash Wen Wan's feet and massage, and when Wen Wan raised his feet and shook him off his body, he took the cloth towel on her knee and wiped her feet and put them in the quilt.
"What do you talk about with your mother-in-law in the stove house during the day? It will make you laugh like a Maitreya Buddha all night! At that time, he poured a lot of tea in the hall, and listened to the two of them "buzzing" and biting their ears.
Wen Wan hummed a song in a good mood, and when she heard the words, she was angry and hooked her finger at him, "You come here~"
Lin Yuan listened to his words, his face full of curiosity.
"My aunt said........" she grabbed his ear, "you dare to treat me badly, she asked my brother Lao Tzu to discount your legs!" ”
Lin Yuan took her hand away, hugged her like a jewel and put her in his arms, and shook it with satisfaction, "I don't believe it, your father and brother can like me!" ”
After two days, when he left, Lin Yuan blushed and moved things to the car with Wen Wan: meat, eggs, vegetables, rice, noodles, red dates, rock sugar, white fungus, and even spicy seeds and vinegar! Seeing that Lin Yuan's hands and feet didn't know where to put them, Wen Wan pursed her lips and calmly climbed into the carriage and waved goodbye to her mother.
When he couldn't see Guzi Village, Lin Yuan was still nagging and complaining, "You came back like robbing the house, the Yue family must think that I am useless, and maybe I will regret letting you promise me!" ”
Seeing that there was no movement at all, Lin Yuan took the time to turn around, almost not scared out of a heart attack!
I saw Nuan sitting in the car, holding a shiny silver ingot and throwing it around, as if distressed, "I said no, A-Niang has to give it to me!" ”
Seeing that he took the time to turn around, he squeezed his eyebrows and made a gesture of throwing silver, "Since you have a good face, why don't you throw it away?" ”
Lin Yuan hurriedly asked her to put the silver money back in her sleeve, saying that her wealth would not be exposed, and she was afraid that people would see it, so she hurriedly drove the ox cart to Li Zi Village. I thought in my heart: Strange people say that the water spilled by the married girl, the ancients did not deceive me!
Wen Wan didn't care, and when they mixed up, she would double it back!
