"That's right! I also heard about it, and I don't know which mother-in-law it is, a pair of skillful hands, the acacia is a mandarin duck pillow, the red wedding dress and red embroidered shoes, and even the silk held by the bride is embroidered with a beautiful red and glamorous begonia flower, all of which are beautiful and exquisite, and some people in our village have watched it, and this fairy basket flying embroidery is passed down from the Su family! I don't know how to cut such a delicate thing. Du Hongmei said as if she had seen it with her own eyes.
Du Ruo put a chopsticks and pork skin into Song Ju'an's bowl, and said softly: "An Lang, you like to eat this, eat more." ”
Zhou and Du Haisheng saw that the two of them were serving each other's vegetables, and couldn't help but glance at each other, it seems that the second daughter and the second son-in-law are doing well.
"Eat more! Eat more! Du Haisheng greeted with chopsticks.
"Rulan, do you know which mother-in-law in your village cut the embroidery pattern for the Su family?" Zhou asked again.
Du Ruo groaned, looked at Song Ju'an, who was about to speak, and said in front of him: "I don't know, listening to your praise, it should be very good, and I don't know which daughter-in-law in our village is so skillful, I'll go back and inquire." ”
Song Ju'an suddenly coughed a few times, covered his chest and pounded it.
Du Ruo couldn't help but glare at him, this person really wanted to open a dyeing workshop for him with some color! looked sick and weak, and said that she could act.
"My brother-in-law is so weak, and the two elders of the Song family are sick and can't work, Rulan supports the Song family alone! It's hard work! Our family has Wu Xing working hard, so I don't have to worry about snacks! Du Hongmei said.
Du Ruo didn't understand why Du Hongmei wanted to compare with her own sister, was it necessary?
"An Lang has also been unwell in the past few days, teaching in the village school, it is good to be knowledgeable, I don't know how many times better than those farmers who only know how to work hard!" She smiled and hid a needle in her sleeve to go back.
"Oops! Don't say it sooner! Look, our family has also produced a reader! I knew that peace of mind was not ordinary! Zhou said happily, and hurriedly served soup for his second son-in-law, and then picked up vegetables for him.
Du Hongmei's face turned red, and she quietly pinched Wu Xing's arm, Wu Xing gasped, and rubbed his other hand incessantly, hurting him to death!
Du Haisheng also glanced at his second son-in-law unexpectedly, and with the advantage of age, he launched an inexperienced lecture to Song Ju'an: "There is a Liang Xiucai in your Donggou Village, who is very literary and famous, and he is a talent in several nearby villages. is also teaching in your village school, Ju'an Ke has to have a good relationship with him, and if he becomes an official in the future, he will be able to carry you! “
The corners of Du Ruo's mouth twitched, Liang Xiucai had already participated in four or five provincial exams, and after three years of waiting, he didn't know that he could only be an official in the Year of the Monkey! Besides, Liang Xiucai didn't take Song Ju'an seriously.
Du Haisheng continued: "Ju'an, what do you think? Will you register for the college exam soon? ”
Speaking of this, the expressions of everyone present became inexplicably serious, looking at Song Ju'an, as if he could really pass the exams in the near future and become a big official.
"Back to my father-in-law, I have no interest in gaining fame, my family has a few acres of thin fields, and my father and mother need to serve, so I just need to live a stable life." Song Ju'an replied.
Du Haisheng was very surprised, and he sandwiched it on the peanut plate for a long time before he caught one, and threw it in his mouth not very happily.
Zhou laughed as if he was playing a round at this time, "Ercheng just go to the academy to learn a few words!" There is no shortage of people to work at home, anyway, he can't go home all day long, so let's go to study, maybe in the future, our family will be able to become an official! ”
"Just him?! Don't bother with that sooner rather than too late! Du Dacheng squinted and sneered.
"What's wrong with me?! Look at people in the cracks of the door! Du Ercheng choked back.
"Don't think you're very good! Look at you like that! We don't look like a mother at all, you and your eldest brother-in-law are brothers! ”
"Dacheng, what do you mean? There's no end to burying people, isn't it?! What's wrong with your brother-in-law? Are you still picking up our old house?! Du Hongmei reprimanded.
"I'll teach you a lesson, just say it casually, what are you anxious about?!" Du Dacheng Dao.
Du Ruo and Song Ju'an ate silently.
"You don't teach me a lesson! Dad and mom don't care about me, what are you?! Du Ercheng snorted.
Du Haisheng: "I don't dare to care about you from your father!" If you don't make trouble for me, I'll call you an ancestor! ”
Du Hongmei: "Du Dacheng, you tell me clearly!" Don't mess with me! ”
Zhou said to Du Hongmei dissatisfied: "They are arguing, what are you doing?!" ”
Du Feng'er was held by his mother and sat on her lap, looking at the battle in front of her, and cried in fright.
Wu Xing whispered: "Daughter-in-law, don't say a word!" ”
Du Hongmei snorted at Wu Xing's face: "I'll kill you for not doing it properly!" Shame on me! It's just that others, and your mother's family doesn't look at you squarely! ”
Du Dacheng: "You kid ate leopard gall?!" I'm going to have to kick you out! ”
Wu Xiangxiu shook her mother's arm, pointed to the chicken leg on the plate and said, "Mother! I nibble on chicken legs! Give me! ”
Du Ercheng slapped the table: "You big brother is good!" After marrying a daughter-in-law, relatives are no longer relatives! It's all bears! Chase me? It's a big deal, I'll go to my second brother-in-law's house! Don't think I don't have a place to go! ”
Du Ruo: "............"
Song Ju'an: "............"
"Although Ercheng is older, it is a good thing to let Ercheng read and write, and after the college test, the school should recruit students, and then you can send him over!" Song Ju'an said.
"How much does the academy charge each year?" Du Haisheng asked the questions he cared about.
Du Ruo breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, the topic finally diverged, she hurriedly ate a few more bites of food, and saved a while of arguing again, and even the table was lifted.
"Two taels of silver." Song Ju'an replied.
"So expensive? Let's talk about it first, I don't pay for 20% of the study! Du Dacheng said.
Song Ju'an smiled slightly.
Du Ercheng, who was sitting next to Du Ruo, suddenly came over and whispered to her: "Second sister, you and your second brother-in-law blow the wind on the pillow!" It's all my own family, so don't charge me tuition! ”
Du Ruo was speechless, not to mention that this tuition fee was not collected by Song Ju'an, and besides, she couldn't blow the wind on the pillow......
"I'll try." She is very sincere, and she can't succeed anyway.
Du Ercheng nodded hurriedly, poured two glasses of wine, handed it to Song Ju'an through Du Ruo, and stammered with a smile: "Brother-in-law, I used to be a fool, can you be as knowledgeable as me, you are a scholar, and there are a lot of adults!" ”
Du Haisheng and Zhou's looked at the second son in approval, this child has no other skills, but he has eyes and will come to trouble.
Everyone looked at Song Ju'an.
Du Ruo also turned his head to look at him, saw him hesitate, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and said, "I don't drink." ”
Du Ercheng held the wine glass and held it there, feeling very shameless.
Du Ruo hurriedly said: "An Lang is sick, drinking alcohol is not good for the body, I'll drink it for him!" As he spoke, he took the glass and drank it.
Spicy throat!
Choked straight to the heavenly spirit cover!
Du Ruo couldn't help coughing, he didn't expect the home-brewed wine to be so strong.
Can you do it all over again......
She heard Song Ju'an, who was sitting next to her, seem to sigh in a low voice, and handed over a bowl of sweet soup, she didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly took a few sips in her hand, and Song Ju'an then sandwiched some lighter dishes for her.
Song Ju'an did this, Du Hongmei saw it in her eyes and hated it in her heart, how could his own man be half considerate and hurt people? ! From beginning to end, Wu Xing knew that burying his head in eating and eating, like a pig.
"Rulan and Ju An have been married for almost two years, right? There is no child, the croppers love to chew the root of their tongues, maybe how to say behind the scenes that Rulan can't give birth to children! Du Hongmei said.
Zhou Shi first glanced at Song Ju'an nervously, observed his reaction and face, then looked at Du Ruo, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, sooner or later there will be children!" ”
"Mother, you're not in a hurry, others don't think so, Ju'an doesn't want to have a child? What did Rulan's mother-in-law say? What did my father-in-law say? Don't people want to have a queen sooner? If you can't give birth to a child all the time, alas, ......" Du Hongmei shook her head and sighed.
After drinking the bowl of sweet soup, Du Ruo was finally full, and ate two more pieces of meat before putting down the chopsticks.
For things like giving birth and getting pregnant, she has heard a lot, and she is immune, and it is unlikely that she will have too much reaction.
"There's no hurry." Song Ju'an glanced at Du Ruo and said with a smile.
Du Ruo shuddered, but still smiled.
Zhou and Du Haisheng nodded hurriedly, "No hurry!" No hurry! ”
The jealousy on Du Hongmei's face couldn't be hidden, so she had to lower her head and eat the vegetables.
Before leaving, Du Ruo took out a few pennies from his pocket and gave one to each child, "Buy candy to eat!" Come, Ercheng, you are still young in the eyes of the second sister, and you also have a share. ”
Seeing her so generous, the family couldn't close their mouths with joy, only saying that the Song family was really running from time to time, and they were no longer poor!
On the way back, the two of them walked one after the other, Du Ruo looked at the back of Song Ju'an who was walking in front, and said in her heart, she was so generous, just to find a good way out for herself! Who knows when he divorced her?
However, she sighed that the Du family was too noisy! She still feels like her ears hurt! No wonder Song Ju'an didn't go, now she really understands it, and she can understand it very well.
Back in the village, when she passed by the door of Zhou Ning's mother-in-law's house, Du Ruo glanced at the closed door of her house a few times, and she suddenly called Song Ju'an: "You go back first!" ”
Song Ju'an didn't ask her what she was going to do, maybe she wasn't interested, and walked straight away.
She walked to the door of Zhou Ning's mother-in-law's room and knocked on the door, but there was no movement inside.
Zhou Ning's mother-in-law lives in two thatched huts, and there is no yard, but the door is quite clean, unlike the grass growing now, and even the grass comes out of the cracks of the stone-paved path.
She knocked a few more times and shouted 'mother-in-law' a few times, but no one answered.
The door was unlocked, and when I pushed it, there was something on top of it.
Du Ruo was a little panicked in his heart, looked around, pushed a few times, and kicked a few more times, but unfortunately he still couldn't open it.
She had no choice but to go under the cobweb-covered window next to her, and pushed it, and the window opened. She picked up a few more rocks from the neighborhood, stacked them together, stepped on the window, and jumped in.
After entering, she saw that Zhou Ning's mother-in-law on the other side was lying on the bed, with the quilt covered on her body and her shoes neatly arranged.
She walked to the side of the bed, and Granny Zhou Ning opened her eyes and looked at her, opening her mouth weakly, as if she didn't even have the strength to make a sound, only those cloudy, tearful eyes could move.
"Mother-in-law, what's wrong with you?!" She asked worriedly.
I don't know how long she has been lying here, an old man with white hair, no one cares and visits, lying without eating or drinking, even if she is dead, no one will know.
Du Ruo touched her forehead with her hand, it was a little hot, she hurriedly held her hand and comforted: "Mother-in-law, don't be afraid, I'll go to Lang Zhong now!" ”
Mother-in-law Zhou Ning held her hand tightly, as if she was afraid that she would not come back if she left.
