Chapter 85: Strike While the Iron Is Hot

Liu Fu and Liu Ya were studying and embroidering the second mouse pillow at home, He ran in a hurry, and when he saw Liu Wu, he said with a worried face: "Xu'er, something happened to the old Liu family." ”

Liu Wu suddenly thought of Liu, who was originally sticking and didn't leave, and then didn't see a figure, so anxious that he threw away the needle and thread, and asked, "Is there something wrong with my mother?" ”

He shook his head first with an embarrassed face, then nodded, and finally didn't know whether to nod or shake his head, and the catkins, willow buds and willow feathers were so anxious that they were confused.

He thought about it, and first briefly told Li Wensheng about making trouble with the Liu family and carrying Li Wenwu back to the Li family to recuperate.

Liu Wu was overjoyed when he heard this, it would take at least half a month for Li Wenwu's injury to be completely healed, and in this half a month, he would never have to see Li Wensheng's nasty face again.

was timidly overjoyed, He looked at Liu Fu with a worried face, and only after a long time did he swallow and say: "Xu'er, also, and, that's, it's your mother's ......."

Liu Wu's heart that had just been put down was hung up by He again, and he was nervous again.

He simply got straight to the point and said: "Your eldest aunt is lazy, so she went out early in the morning and said that your mother was going to die." I didn't believe it and went to Liu's house, and found your mother lying on the cold kang alone, her face was bloody, her body was weak, her hands were swollen like steamed buns, and she had a wind chill. I obeyed the voice, it was your grandmother and sister-in-law who asked her to wash the pickled clothes and quilts with ice water for half a night, and wanted to burn the kang, and what bones did Chai He boil, and it was fortunate that she didn't freeze to death on the cold kang that she slept all night. ”

It was really a fire at the city gate, which affected the fish in the pond. This must be because the Zhou family and Liu Cuihong were annoyed by Li Wensheng, and turned to the Liu family to be angry, and it was really a soft pinch, just because the Liu family has a good personality and will not refuse, so let you be so bad?

Liu Wu squinted lightly, and secretly made up his mind, Liu Cuihong, don't let me catch the handle again, otherwise I will let you know why the flowers are so red.

Liu Wu did not rush to Liu's house to settle accounts, but said to He's family: "Auntie, do you know where my grandfather's family lives and who else is in the family?" Tell me everything you know. ”

He shook his head and said: "The Liu family and the Liu family don't have much contact, the last time was when your father was still alive, and he actually came to visit your father's patient with two empty paws, especially your eldest aunt, with a mean and sour face, and a strange speech, she was counted down by your milk, even so, when she left, she also took away the two eggs on the side of our chicken coop." ”

He only thought that he was talking happily, and only after he finished saying that he remembered that he was talking about Liu Wu's grandfather's house, he blinked a little embarrassedly, and turned his words back to the circle: "That, your eldest aunt is born thinner, and she will definitely live a life, and her fingers will not slip money out......"

Liu Wu snorted and laughed, took He's hand and said: "Auntie, you are too outside, who treats me well in my heart, compared with them, we are a real family." ”

He Shi's face turned red when he was said, and he continued: "Your grandfather disappeared many years ago, and your little grandmother was still alive a few years ago, and now I don't know what happened." In addition to having an uncle, you should also have an aunt, and it is unknown where you will marry. ”

Liu Wu asked the name of the Liu family and the village where he lived, and decided to strike while the iron was hot, hire an ox cart for a while, and go to the Liu family for a while.

Liu Ya looked at Liu Wu's still pale face, and said worriedly: "Eldest sister, your illness has just improved, and your mother is sick again, why are you still in a hurry to go to your grandfather's house if you don't go to see our mother?" ”

The catkins scraped the tip of the willow bud's little nose and said: "What the eldest sister is doing now is to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle, once and for all." Our mother is a little guilty now, and she will be blessed in the future. ”

There is a good saying, take advantage of your illness and kill you.

Taking advantage of the dislike between the Li family and the Liu family, they will no longer support the Liu family, Liu Fu wants to rescue the Liu family from the Liu family in one fell swoop, and this pioneer is none other than the Liu family's aunt.

When it was time to get a gift, Liu Ya was worried, looking at the fabric used to embroider the pillow, gritted his teeth, took one and put it on the kang, and piled up a lot of small handkerchiefs and small yarns that he embroidered, like an exhibition.

Liu Wu shook his head and said: "Ya'er, I haven't seen my grandfather's family for many years, this ceremony can't be too heavy, there is a suspicion of showing off; It can't be too light, there is a suspicion of underestimation, so pick something practical, not expensive or cheap. ”

"Practical?" Liu Ya asked ignorantly,

When she saw the things that Liu Wu took out, Liu Ya was stunned at first, and then smashed her mouth and sighed: "Eldest sister, your gift is really practical enough." ”

What is the catkins holding? A large strip of lard.

Liu Wu smiled and pointed to the small objects of willow buds and said: "You can also take a few of these silk and embroidered handkerchiefs, but you can only give them to your aunt and cousin, not to your cousin, do you understand?" ”

At present, the social system is strict, and although the countryside is more open, it is difficult to guarantee that no one has any bad ideas.

Liu Ya happily put the veil and the rope into her arms, now she is just learning embroidery, eager to get everyone's recognition, willow catkins can not dampen her enthusiasm.

Liu Mao's body is not suitable for tiring travel, so he can only watch the two sisters busy with his eyes.

Liu Wu stroked Liu Mao's head and said with a smile: "Seeing that the New Year is coming, didn't my sister let you save goat's milk?" I'll make you nougat, no, it's lamb nougat, sweet your little mouths. ”

Liu Mao pouted, and retorted unhappily: "I'm not Ah Huang, I can be coaxed with food." ”

There was silence for a while, and the catkins silently carried the lard out of the house.

Liu Mao knew that he had said the wrong thing, and looked at the lonely eldest sister as if he had made a mistake, and thought silently in his heart, Ah Huang, if you are still alive, come back quickly; If you are already dead, you will give your dream to the eldest sister, so as not to live and die, and cause people's hearts to be lost.

......

Because the Chinese New Year is approaching, there are many people who go to the county to do New Year's goods, and Niu Bo's ox cart left very early, so he can only intercept the ox cart from other villages passing by and carry it to Xinghua Village with a copper plate.

The two sisters waited for a long time before waiting for an ox cart going to Jiangyang County, just passing by Wangxing Village, the two sisters quickly climbed into the ox cart and nested in the middle of a group of adults to avoid the wind.

There were not many people in the car, it was four women in their thirties, three of whom seemed to be from the same village, and the other was alone.

The lone woman was very kind, and seeing that the two sisters were dressed cleanly, and they were two little girls waiting for themselves, she deliberately narrowed the distance and said, "Little girl, where are you two going?" ”

Liu Wu replied first: "Auntie, we are here in Xiawa Village. ”

Xiawa Village is adjacent to Wangxing Village, and Liu Wu is instinctively wary of strangers, and he lies to himself.

The woman replied with a smile: "It's a pity, my maiden name is Cao, and I am an old family in Wangxing Village, I wanted to have a companion, but I didn't expect it to be not a village, but the neighboring village is also in the middle." ”

Liu Wu's heart was relaxed when she heard this, and she seemed to have no intention of saying: "Auntie, a matchmaker told my cousin about the son of Wangxing Village, and it hasn't been finalized yet, I don't know if my aunt knows where Lang Lang, tell me about it." ”

Cao's was brought up by the catkins, and he agreed, asking which family he was from.

Liu Fu seemed to try to recall: "It seems to be surnamed Liu, I don't remember what Lang is called, his father's surname is Liu, and his name is Liu Benchang." ”

Liu Wu only knew that her uncle's name was Liu Benchang, and she hadn't been in touch for six years, what was going on at home, how many cousins and cousins she had, and what their names were, she didn't know anything.

Cao's face immediately showed a look of disdain, and he smacked his lips and said, "Little girl, in such a family, you still let your cousin not marry." ”

Liu Wu seemed to be aroused by curiosity, and guessed: "Auntie, isn't this Liu family lazy and greedy?" ”

Cao Shi shook his head and said: "This Liu Benchang is okay, he is a simple man, he only knows how to work hard, and he waits for three acres of land very well, and he can be called a must in Wangxing Village." It's just that people are too weak and weak, and they listen to their daughter-in-law Wang for everything. If the Wang family is a good one, it's fine, but he is a crooked heart, bitter to his mother-in-law and mother-in-law, and difficult for his daughter-in-law..... Hey? That's not right, isn't Liu Nong already married to Ma Daya in Hexi Village? Your cousin won't be the youngest son Liu Shang who wants to inquire, but he's only ten years old......"

A flock of crows flew over the catkins overhead, and his clumsy excuse was immediately worn.

Liu Fu stubbornly said: "My uncle's cousin has a daughter, who is thirteen years old, and the family wants to find a son-in-law......

Only then did the Cao family understand and said: "If you let Liu Shang be your son-in-law, with the temperament of the Liu family, it is not that you absolutely disagree, but this Liu Shang ......"

Women are born to be loudspeakers, and they are born to collect information, and after a while, Cao Shi will tell everything she knows about the situation of the Liu family, from Grandma Liu's poor health to Liu Shang's petty theft.

Liu Fu quickly grasped the situation of the Liu family, all in all, Liu Benchang, the uncle of the Liu family, is an authentic old scalper, who only knows how to work with his head down, and does not know how to look up at the sky.

Maternal grandmother Sheng's is a typical upgraded version of Liu's, others are mother-in-law rubbing daughter-in-law, and when they arrive at Liu's house, they are daughter-in-law rubbing mother-in-law;

Aunt Wang, a typical miserly woman, the master of the goose plucking hair, is reluctant to spend a penny, not only mean to others, but also mean to herself, as if she has a grudge against spending money; As long as she passed through the village, like a tornado, the water scoop of the east family was taken away, and the eggs of the west family were lost two, and she was the person spurned by the whole village;

Son Liu Nong, inherited Liu Benchang's temperament, he can't beat a fart with a pole, because his mother is Sheng's, and he barely made a marriage at the age of eighteen, and the woman's condition for agreeing to the engagement is that after getting married, he will directly separate the family and stay away from the Sheng family.

Daughter Liu Baozhu, thirteen years old, looks quite good, that is, the temperament follows the Wang family, does not take advantage of others and can't sleep, the original hands and feet are not clean, was beaten by Liu Benchang once, and the memory is no longer stealing, but the greedy temperament can't be changed.

The youngest son, Liu Shang, is a little clever, he talks about people when he sees people, and he talks nonsense when he sees ghosts, and coaxes the family to like him the most, but he has not seen where his temperament has followed Liu's flaws.
