Chapter 22 The landlord's family has no surplus food

Looking at the old and young of this family, Ye Xinyan really saw what it was like to be a big family with three generations in the same house. This is still the uncle's grandfather's daughter has not returned, if the second-ranked aunt's family of seven or eight comes back, it will be even more lively, and she will be disturbed even more dizzy.

Among the grandchildren, only Qi Cheng is one year older than Ye Xinyan, and the children of the other grandchildren are all younger than her.

Qi Younian introduced Ye Xinyan to everyone, and after seeing each other twice, the Qi family looked at Ye Xinyan's eyes with some playfulness.

According to Qi Younian, Ye Xinyan is a helpless orphan girl who can't live at her husband's house and leaves the house. There was no one in his mother's family, and in desperation, he recognized his granddaughter.

After this introduction, the Qi family, who was originally quite enthusiastic about Ye Xinyan, looked at Ye Xinyan again, and their expressions were faint.

In this era, regardless of whether you leave or give up, you will not have a good reputation, and there will never be a good future. Generally, when a woman comes back from her husband's house, she eats idle meals at her mother's house, and her mother's family does not want to see her.

The Wang family and the two daughters-in-law complained a little in their hearts about this second uncle, come back when they come back, how to say that they are blood relatives, even if they are raised, it is because of family affection. But with these two burdens brought back, why did the Qi family have to feed them in vain. They and the third uncle's family are also poor families, where can they afford to support three idlers.

Looking at the granddaughter who recognized her, and with a nursing mother, she looked like a person who couldn't do work. Although the second uncle said that he had the skill of a mason, but no matter how skilled he was, he was also old, and he still did the work of moving masons.

They and the third uncle's family together, there is only that little bit of land, can they not only support the second uncle, but also support two outsiders?

Regarding Ye Xinyan's identity, Ye Xinyan and Qi Younian had seriously discussed, and originally wanted to directly pretend to be Qi Younian's own granddaughter. But in this case, how can this series of stories about the son, daughter-in-law, and Ye Xinyan's husband's family come through?

After thinking about it, it's better to simply recognize it, as long as their grandparents are close, as for what others think, it is separated by another layer of relationship after all, and it doesn't matter.

Originally, Qi Younian was afraid that he would be old and the road, and he didn't know if he could get home safely. Who would have thought that after walking all the way, Ye Zi was well adjusted in calculating the distance and diet, and later he had a donkey cart, and after more than a month of travel, not only did not exhaust his physical strength, but his body seemed to be more energetic.

Along the way, Qi Younian certainly has a heroic and responsible personality, and Ye Xinyan also treats him as a grandfather and takes care of him meticulously. Qi Younian really treats Ye Xinyan as his granddaughter.

Since he is still in good health, he must have a plan for the days ahead. Qi Younian didn't think about letting his two brothers feed, as long as he could do the work, he wouldn't eat the family's rice, and he could earn some dowry for his granddaughter. As long as he can give his granddaughter some dowry before he breathes, he can find a reliable in-law for his granddaughter.

As for the Qi family's little land, not to mention that Ye Xinyan didn't plan to ask for it, he didn't plan to worry about it himself.

The complaining expressions of the sister-in-law and the two nieces and daughters-in-law were particularly obvious, and Qi Younian was not very comfortable in his eyes. He didn't have anything, but he was afraid that his family would be wronged.

Therefore, the eldest nephew and daughter-in-law were embarrassed and asked her mother-in-law Wang: "Mother, the hour is not early." The second uncle has been away from home for decades, and he has only found it back, and we can't make do with today's lunch. Why don't I go to the landlord's house and borrow some rice? ”

Qi Younian heard that his nephew and daughter-in-law's words had a different meaning, so he wanted to talk.

Before Qi Younian could speak, Qi Yougui preemptively shouted, "What are you talking about?" My brother eats a meal, and he eats you poor? Do you still need to borrow rice? Go kill three chickens, scramble a few eggs, and let's steam and eat today. ”

Wang Shi hurriedly smiled and said: "What kind of anger is the old man, how can we see people eating at home, Zhuzi's daughter-in-law wants to borrow some japonica rice and white noodles for his second uncle to eat." His second uncle finally found it back, can't he eat some bran noodles mixed with wild vegetables like we used to? ”

Ye Xinyan held the water bowl and lowered her head to drink water. Grandmother Uncle is telling them that the Qi family is very poor and has nothing to entertain them.

Qi Younian saw that the eldest brother was about to reprimand, and hurriedly said: "Let's talk here, but we forgot that there are still things on the donkey cart outside." There was no need to borrow rice or kill chickens, Ye Zi and I bought some food in the county seat. After a while, I will call the third family and let's have a reunion dinner together. ”

Wang and his two daughters-in-law didn't move, looking at the clothes of the second uncle and the granddaughter who recognized him, they didn't look like they were rich and had spare money. Although they didn't move the things on the donkey cart, they also looked at them a few times, and they were all the belongings of the poor family.

Besides, you don't just put something valuable in the yard, do you?

Seeing the embarrassing scene, Ye Xinyan came down from the edge of the kang with a smile, "Grandpa, it's still early for lunch." Or, while Uncle He is here, ask if there is a vacant house in the village, and find us a place to live first. If we settle down early, my grandmother and I can go over and clean up earlier. ”

She turned around and said to He Quantai with a smile, "We used to do some subsistence business, and in the future, we still plan to set up a stall in the county town to make a living, and we may not live in the village for a long time, so it is best to rent two houses." ”

It turns out that the second uncle's family is going to do business, in that case, won't they share the house and land with them? The Wang family and the two daughters-in-law breathed a sigh of relief, and their faces softened a little.

Qi Yougui said unhappily: "You kid, how can a house be so easy to find?" Even if you find it, it will take time to clean it up. Needless to say, you and your grandfather just came back, and they lived in your uncle's and grandfather's house first, and there was no hurry to rent a house. ”

Qi Younian didn't say whether he could find the house or not, but only asked Ye Xinyan to get the things, "Ye Zi, go and take down the things on the donkey cart and help your grandmother and aunt Zhang Luo have lunch." ”

"Hey, then you and your uncle and Uncle He are chatting slowly, and I'll pack up the things I brought in the car." After Ye Xinyan finished speaking, she turned around and called Mama Jin, "Mama go with me." ”

Qi Younian saw that Ye Xinyan offered to live temporarily, and said that he would do business in the county in the future, knowing that she was in the hearts of the old and young of the Anqi family, so as not to have their own hearts and disputes.

It's okay to do this, and there can be fewer contradictions in the room. He spent Ye Xinyan and the Wang family and others, so he was patient, slowly persuaded Qi Yougui, and asked He Quantai about the house.

The eyes of the three mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Wang family met, and Mama Jin saw it in their eyes. While she followed Ye Xinyan out, she couldn't stop feeling sad for her eldest lady. The eldest lady has been pampered since she was a child, but she didn't expect that now in this poor and remote place, she will be so disliked by others.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Qi family are obviously afraid that the old man Qi and the eldest lady will share their belongings. Although the eldest lady said on the road that they do their own business to make money, they don't want to build a house on the family's land. However, the eldest lady has been pampered since she was a child, and the knots and headdresses of the years ago are already accidents in accidents, where is there a way to make money?

Ye Xinyan, with the help of Mama Jin, took down an old basket that was crudely woven and handed it to the Wang family. Inside are the ingredients they prepared in the county, seven or eight catties of meat, two large pieces of pork ribs, two chickens, and some rice noodles, vegetables and vegetables.

When Qi Younian was shopping, he estimated the population of the eldest brother and the third brother's family, and these ingredients were enough for more than 20 people to eat.

Ye Xinyan took out a burden from another basket, the burden skin was extremely old, and the background color was almost invisible.
