Chapter 18: The Return of the Kwoks

When I arrived at the entrance of the village, I saw Qingzhi squatting under the willow tree at the head of the bridge, stretching her neck anxiously and looking around.

Seeing Liu Qingyan and Xie's figures, Qingzhi hurriedly ran to meet them.

"Auntie, Sister Qingyan, my mother is back." Qing Zhi said with a bitter face.

Liu Qingyan and Xie Shi were stunned when they heard the news, and they were driven back to their parents' house to reflect on how they had to live for a year and a half, how could they come back so soon?

The two mothers and daughters looked at each other, thinking the same thing.

Liu Qingyan saw Zhizhi's expression, and sighed in her heart, others were happy to see her mother, but this little girl saw her mother as if she had seen a ghost.

Xie Shi lifted the basket upwards and said to Qing Zhi: "Don't be afraid, there is an eldest aunt here, and she will never let her beat you again." "Like a majestic fighting, leading the two chicks home.

Entered the house, ho! It's lively at home!

Guo's family, Guo's father and mother, and his mother's eldest brother and sister-in-law all sat in the hall.

"Dad, mother, I'm back."

Xie Shi entered the hall and greeted the second elder of the Liu family first, but she said that she didn't see the people of the Guo family.

"Hmm." Old Man Liu sat on the main seat and nodded to indicate that he understood.

Mrs. Liu glanced at the Guo family helplessly, and then said to Xie gently: "Is my mother's health better?" ”

"It's much better, thank you for remembering." Xie told the truth.

Guo had a very disdainful look on his face, and after Guo Laohan glared at her fiercely, he pouted and walked in front of Xie, and shouted "sister-in-law" with low eyebrows.

The attitude is respectful, not at all like the appearance of the original teeth and claws.

Xie Shi is not a vegetarian either, so he pretended to find out that Guo Shi said casually: "It turns out that my brother and sister are also back, didn't our father and mother let you live in your mother's house for a few more days and help the family do more work, why are you in such a hurry to come back so soon?" ”

Guo gritted his teeth and didn't speak, his breath was suffocated in his chest, helping the family work? She can't do any work except for some needlework, and Xie can't open any pot and deliberately poke her heart.

Guo's mother and sister-in-law winked at each other and stood up.

"Niece of the Xie family, what happened last time was not authentic for our dead girl, we beat and scolded, you will forgive her a lot this time, let her come back and help you do some things at home, you are so light-hearted." Guo Pozi took Xie's hand and flattered him.

"The uncle and aunt of the Guo family are also here, I just came home to patronize and greet my parents, I didn't notice that there were distinguished guests coming to the door, I was really embarrassed to be neglected."

Xie Shi pulled out his hand and said to him, how did that vicious woman curse my daughter? Forgive her, it's so easy!

Guo Laohan's beard jumped and jumped, thinking to himself, why didn't you see it, you just used us as air, so many people sitting here, you can't see it?

Guo's sister-in-law also came out, and said to Xie pitifully: "Sister Xie, my sister is stupid, you are a smart person, just ignore the villain, forgive her this time." You are the eldest sister-in-law, if she makes another mistake in the future, you will beat and scold our Guo family and never say a word. You also know the situation of our family, there are many people and few places, they can't even eat enough, they are old, there are few houses in the family and they can't live in it, and it is really inconvenient for his aunt to live at home. As he spoke, he wiped the corners of his eyes with his oil-stained twisted sleeves.

Guo's brother sat still, drinking tea without opening his mouth, looking like he had nothing to do with himself.

Guo Laohan saw that Xie was unmoved, and finally magnified his move, "Niece of the Xie family, all the mistakes are my fault as a father, it is my fault that I didn't teach my daughter well, so that you and Yan Yatou were wronged, and my uncle will make amends to you." ”

After speaking, he got up and walked in front of Xie Shi, leaned over and bowed down.

Xie is a junior, how can he accept the gift of the elders, and if he does, he will be blessed, so he hurriedly stopped, "Uncle Guo is serious, there will inevitably be bumps in the life of the family, I have forgotten the previous things, uncle, don't be like this." ”

Liu Qingyan watched coldly, taking in all the performances of the Guo family's excellent singing and songwriting, and was very angry in her heart, the old guy used his seniority to force Xie to compromise, so that Xie suffered a loss and could only swallow bitter water in his stomach, which was really shameless. Dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, the son of a bat lives in a cave, and only with such a father and mother can he teach a girl like Guo, the best of the family.

When the Guo family heard Xie say this, their faces immediately turned happy.

Guo Laohan said to Old Man Liu: "My father-in-law, since the niece of the Xie family has forgiven my family for this fool who does not wake up, do you think you can let her come back today?" ”

Old Man Liu couldn't even agree at this time, and said expressionlessly: "In this way, come back and come back." ”

When Guo heard this, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you for your magnanimity, I will definitely change my past mistakes and be filial to the second elder." But there was no mention of Xie's tolerance.

"I hope you have changed your original personality and live a good life, and don't forget that your letter of resignation is still pressed under the ancestral ancestral card." Old Man Liu glanced at Guo, and his tone was very stern.

Liu Qingyan looked at it and understood, it must be the Guo family who sent the Guo family back to negotiate, but the old man Liu had to wait for the Xie family to come back, and then decide after seeing the Xie family's attitude, the Guo family tried their best to force the Xie family.

Nima, this family surnamed Guo is really not a thing.

After scolding the Guo family in her heart, she felt that the old man of the Liu family still respected the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xie family very much. She couldn't interfere with the previous things, and now she had to say something.

"Grandfathers, grandmothers, granddaughters have something to say."

Old Man Liu and Old Lady Liu exchanged glances in surprise, not knowing what Qingyan was going to say, this granddaughter had never dared to speak on such an occasion before.

"Yan girl, just say what you have to say." Old Man Liu said kindly.

"Grandfather, grandmother, since the third aunt said that she wants to reform herself, then the work at home in the future can't be the same as before, let my mother do it alone, it's better to do it by one person in a day, is this feasible?" Liu Qingyansen glanced at Guo Shi coldly and said.

Xie Shi understands that the girl is complaining about herself and standing up for her! I was happy in my heart, and patted Liu Qingyan's shoulder to express that I had accepted it.

Guo Shi was stared at by Liu Qingyan's cold eyes, and he couldn't help but sway, wondering when this sick seedling had become so terrible.

"It's natural, if this idiot in my family is still lazy like before, my family will teach me a lesson." Guo Laohan was afraid that Guo would be thrown back again, so he responded for Guo in a strict manner.

"Third daughter-in-law, you can hear clearly." Old man Liu looked a little impatient, this in-law is an old slippery head.

"Hear me, Dad." Guo Shi answered honestly, but looked at Liu Qingyan with hatred.

Liu Qingyan smiled and said to Guo Shi with obscure eyes: "Third aunt, don't you sleep until three poles in the sun before getting up like before!" ”

The smile fell in Guo's eyes like a flood beast, and she also understood the secret and unpredictable information in her eyes, which was clearly mocking her: Look, your father and mother's family are tired of you, what are you proud of.

Guo Shi was so angry that his intestines were twisted together.

The matter was finalized at noon, how could it be good to drive people away at this hour, the Guo family relied on lunch.

Liu Qingyan went to the stove room to help Xie cook, Qingzhi quietly slipped in to help with the fire and choose vegetables, this girl didn't know where to hide just now, and even Liu Boyu didn't see it.

After going for the past two days, the meat I bought in the town was gone, but fortunately, Xie brought back a big bamboo rat from his mother's house, otherwise the chickens at home would have suffered again. The bamboo rat was salted by my aunt and brought back to eat, but I didn't expect it to be cheaper for the Guo family.

Liu Boyu didn't come back until the meal was almost ready, and it turned out that he went to herd cattle. This work has always been done by Old Man Liu, but who knew that the Guo family came early in the morning, and Old Man Liu couldn't get out of his body and asked his son to go.

Liu Boyu didn't know if he was afraid that Xie would be embarrassed and wanted to avoid suspicion, so he dragged on for a long time before coming back.

After Xie cooked the meal, he took out everything and ate it with Liu Qingyan and Qingzhi in the stove room. There are not so many people sitting at one table, and besides, who can swallow it when eating with the Guo family!

After the table in the hall was finished, Liu Qingyan and Xie went to clean up the table, only to see that the plate was dry and clean, and there was not even any soup left in the braised bamboo rat meat.

Du Te is reincarnated by a starving ghost! Qingyan scolded in her heart.

After eating and drinking, Guo's father and sister-in-law said goodbye, and Guo stayed.

After washing the cups and plates, Liu Qingyan boiled a large pot of hot water in the cauldron and prepared to take a bath.

I have been sweating a lot in the past two days, and my whole body is sticky and greasy, but I can't take a bath at my grandfather's house without a change of clothes, so I have to endure it.

Xie Shi moved the bathtub to the girl's house, and brought in a bucket of mixed hot water, and asked Liu Qingyan to wash it first.

Ordinary people use large wooden basins for bathing at home, and the kind of bathtub used to soak in petal baths in film and television dramas is only used by wealthy families, because it uses a lot of water and is too troublesome.

When taking a bath, Liu Qingyan sat in the tub and wondered how the third uncle Liu Boyu was a very good person, how could he marry such an unbearable woman as Guo in the first place. There is no information about this incident in my memory, because when Guo married in, the original owner was still a milk doll who couldn't speak.

How did Liu Boyu marry Guo, this matter is a long story.

Guo's maiden home is in Guojialing, where there are many people and few places, and the environment is much worse than Xie's maiden home. The Xie family has bamboo all over the mountains, and with a little brainstorming, all of them are silver, while the mountains around Guojialing do not even have a tall tree, and most of the land is sandy with a thin soil, and the paddy fields are even more pitiful, and the grain harvested in a year can barely starve to death.

However, this Guo Shi was born with a bit of good color, like a sweet and juicy fresh peach, which makes people want to take a bite when they see it. The old Guo family wanted Guo to marry into a big family so as to help the family, so they used to raise Guo as a young lady, except for doing some needlework, and their fingers did not touch the spring water.
