Chapter 195: Blessing and Hardship (3)

Da Da ”

Uncle Yan sighed in a low voice: "This little girl, you're in trouble again, you guys chat, let's put the congratulatory gifts away." With that, the two walked away.

I looked down at this strange girl, four or five years old, with a dirty face, her hair uncombed, and the hands that grabbed my skirt were covered with red sugar juice.

"Lian Tianbi, you come here!" A woman stopped at the door, panting, leaning over to catch her breath.

I was stunned, this- is this Li Xue?

"Ouch, your hands are full of sugar juice and you're going to grab Aunt Fei's wedding dress, come over to me!" Li Xue gasped and pointed to the little girl.

Even Tianbi? Surname Lian?

Lian Tianbi ignored her and stared at me: "Oh, Aunt Fei is really beautiful in her bridal clothes!" Will Bi'er be able to wear it when she grows up in the future? ”

Li Xue saw that she ignored herself, and came over and pulled Lian Tianbi away, she was not the neat and quiet Li Xue I saw in ordinary times, her hair was tied in a bun at the back of her head, and she didn't even have a hairpin for her solid hair, the hem of her clothes was dirty and damaged, and her expression looked very irritable and haggard.

"Hey, look, it's really, I soiled Aunt Fei's new wedding dress, why are you so uneasy!" Li Xue pulled my skirt, I looked down and saw that there was indeed a faint and sweet little handprint on it, "I'm sorry, Yanfei, or I'll wash you-"

I smiled, observing Li Xue's changes, feeling a little sad, and said, "No need." ”

Li Xue embarrassedly stroked the messy hair that fell on her cheeks, and said, "Look, I prepared new clothes, and I came to say hello to you when I was busy, but I was delayed by this girl in a hurry, I really laughed - this wedding dress, you look so good in it." ”

I remember that Li Xue has always been a person with few words, when did her words start to become so much?

I stared at Lian Tianbi, surnamed Lian, is she the daughter of Li Xue and Lian Xiao? Lian Xiao didn't fall off the cliff, did he successfully marry Li Xue and have his own children?

Li Xue pulled Lian Tianbi and said, "Lian Tianbi, quickly say sorry to Aunt Fei, it's really uneasy, when can you settle down?" ”

Lian Tianbi glanced at Li Xue with a stubborn face, made a grimace and said, "Who asked you to steal my sugar gourd, it was bought for me by my grandfather, and you didn't buy it." ”

Grandfather? I remember that when Lian Xiao's father heard the news of Lian Xiao's death, he couldn't stand the stimulation and fell asleep, Lian Xiao was fine, and even his father was still alive?

I tugged at the corners of my mouth, trying to make myself look like I was just gossiping, and asked, "By the way, Lian Xiao will come tomorrow?" ”

Li Xue wiped the sugar stains on Lian Tianbi's hand vigorously, and said absent-mindedly: "He, how can he be accurate, every time he says that he will come back, which time is not the itinerary delayed again." Now dragging the family with the mouth, how can you watch the moon around the moon as you did when you were young, a bunch of things, it is even more troublesome to celebrate the festival, who can spend the Mid-Autumn Festival in leisure - but tomorrow you get married, he said that he will come back. As if she suddenly thought of something, Li Xue raised her head and said this to me seriously, perhaps to let me know that they still care about the relationship between our childhood sweethearts.

I looked at Lian Tianbi, between my eyebrows, it was like Lian Xiao, this child, did he exist in another world because my father was not missing?

Li Xue was wiping her face vigorously, and she still said in pieces: "I know that I will make trouble day and night, can I let my mother stop a little-I was busy all night yesterday, I just want to come to eat Aunt Fei's pre-wedding wine with peace of mind today, you are good, and you don't eat and refuse to comb your hair, what do you want to do!" ”

Lian Tianbi looked stubborn, not at all like Li Xue's gentle and lovely appearance when she was a child: "Ouch, if you are so rosso, I will go with him when my father comes back, so that you don't have to miss me every day, hum!" ”

Li Xue said: "You go, you go, there is one less little ancestor of you to serve, and I am still at ease." Can't you be so well-behaved and sensible as other little girls? ”

Lian Tianbi said: "Then can't you be as gentle and quiet as other mothers?" ”

Li Xue pushed Lian Tianbi's head and said angrily: "Dead girl, do you still dislike your mother?" As soon as you pee in the morning, who will wash your sheets and dry your mattress all morning - hey, where are you going to go again? ”

Lian Tianbi impatiently broke free from Li Xue's pull, didn't take her mother in her eyes at all, and willfully pointed to the happy egg that Uncle Yan had put there on the round table just now and said, "Aunt Fei, I want to eat happy eggs, I want to eat happy eggs!" ”

I nodded and said, "Go ahead, I like to eat and there will be more later." ”

Li Xue sighed helplessly, Ren Lian Tianbi went, and ordered uneasily: "You play by yourself for a while, I'll say a few words to Aunt Fei don't run around." ”

Even Tianbi Ying didn't respond to a word, obviously a spoiled little girl.

Li Xue looked at me helplessly, dusted off the stains on her body, took a few steps closer to me, and said: "Alas, it's really not a day of worry, her father has been shopping, I have to take care of the things in the store and serve the four old people, and I don't have time to discipline this girl, and my father and mother are spoiled, and she says one sentence or two - I haven't found time to help you help Luo these days, won't you be angry with me?" ”

I shook my head, looking at the fine lines and dark bags under Li Xue's eyes distressedly, we are the same age, just looking at myself in the mirror, like a girl, but she is already ten years older than me.

Li Xue sighed and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to come at night, my father-in-law's cough is terrible again, and I have to watch the fried medicine, and I have to go back to deliver the medicine in a whileβ€”β€”"

"It's okay, you go get busy, it's out of the way." I saw the apology and embarrassment in her eyes, and understood.

Li Xue showed a mature and sophisticated smile on her face, took out a thin and narrow cloth bag from her arms, stroked it affectionately, and handed it to me: "The best sister is about to get married, and I have nothing to give, this thing is not valuable, but it is my heart, you can accept it." ”

As soon as I took it, Li Xue shouted at Lian Tianbi: "Lian Tianbi, peel off the eggshell and eat, don't get stuck in your crumbs - eat slowly, don't come to cry with me if you swallow -"

I opened the cloth bag and looked, hairpin? Isn't this the branch that Li Xue has always had on her head and never replaced, it was bought for her by Lian Xiao when she was fifteen years old with the silver she had saved for a long time, she has always cherished it, and said that she would wear it for a lifetime.

I hurriedly pushed it back and said, "It's so valuableβ€”"

Li Xue pushed it back, her movements were powerful and slightly rude: "Take it, you may not look at these little things in the future, but it is also my intention." Besides, like I have to do housework and take care of the children every day, how can I still use these cumbersome things like hairpins, in fact, I am also a little selfish, I want you to marry so far, and you can occasionally think about me when you see this thing. ”

I held the hairpin, and my heart felt heavy.

Li Xue suddenly screamed: "You girl-hey, you're dirty again-" After saying that, I turned my head to look, Lian Tianbi's face that had just been wiped clean was red and wiped red on a lot of happy eggs, Li Xue grabbed the eggshell in her hand and threw it on the ground, picked her up, and hurriedly said, "No, I have to take this girl back to see the medicine-I will definitely come to marry tomorrow, definitely." She grabbed my hand hard, hugged her daughter and left, without an affectionate goodbye, without that familiar touching look back and wave, and left in a hurry.

I stared blankly at her distant embarrassed and panicked back, and then looked down at the brand-new hairpin in my hand, and my mind was blank.

Uncle Hei came out and saw the thing in my hand and said, "Beautiful hairpin, did Li Xue give it away?" ”

Uncle Yan also came out, and sighed: "I think back then, she was also a slender and flower-like girl, and she changed her appearance after becoming a mother, and even Tianbi was really, so wild-Fei'er shouldn't become like this in the future, right?" ”

Uncle Hei said with a smile: "If it is an ordinary housewife, it is natural that the cook and the farmer will have to raise children, and Fei'er will marry the family and someone will take care of everything, so naturally it will not be the same." ”

Uncle Yan said, "That's right. ”

It turns out that we were wrapped in night talk when we were young, and those fantasies about marrying and obeying our husbands are such realities, there are no cute and sensible children playing on their knees, and there is no warm and considerate husband and wife who care about everything, and many longings are sacrificed in the trivialities of reality, from slender girls to noisy women, change, it is so cruel and helpless.

So, which Li Xue is happy? It should be this Li Xue who is so busy with children and old people that he doesn't have time to take care of himself......

I couldn't judge for her, and with wet eyes, I took the hairpin in my arms.

Uncle Hei thoughtfully patted me on the shoulder and said, "Fei'er seems to be preoccupied today. But in the long road of life, everyone has their own way to go - the eldest brother too, since Fei'er became an adult, every time he thinks that Fei'er will marry and leave in the future, he can't eat, but he still has to accept it. ”

My eyes were sour, and my heart ached: "Dad is reluctant?" ”

Uncle Hei said: "Of course I can't bear it, until one day, he suddenly figured it out, sighed and told us that butterflies will fly away after all." But don't worry, we will accompany the eldest brother well, and so are you, remember to write back often, otherwise the eldest brother will worry about it again. ”

Write? I looked at my slender fingers, I could read and write, what a strange feeling......

Inadvertently, I looked up at Uncle Yan, who was quiet and silent, and he was staring blankly at the alley, as if he was expecting someone to arrive.

"Uncle Yan, are there any guests coming?" I asked.

"Huh? It's still early, and it's estimated that all those who come at this time are here to take leave, just like Li Xue. Uncle Yan said with a grin.

Uncle Hei said: "The best sister can't come, isn't Fei'er a little disappointed?" ”

I wonder to look at Uncle Black, the best sister? Hasn't Li Xue been here?

"But don't worry, in the future, both of you sisters will be in the imperial capital, it is said that the two families are only separated by one street, but they are much closer than now, you are married, and she is not far away."

I didn't understand what Uncle Hei said, and Uncle Yan, who loves to joke, laughed so far-fetched that he didn't even talk.

As soon as the atmosphere is struck, it becomes very strange.
