"Auntie, what's for dinner?"

"There are still steamed buns, stir-fry a tofu, coriander with shallots, and pickles, and then boil porridge, just serve steamed buns." Wei Shi glanced at Wen Jin strangely, "Our guys won't lose everyone's food, and others are willing to buy two catties of meat?" Your uncle and grandmother will buy some oil and boil it, just use it for stir-frying, and the oil residue is reluctant to put it. ”

No wonder there is no one who works for his own home.

"Second aunt, I still have a way to make the food more delicious, I'll make the dinner, right?"

"You?"

"I promise."

Where is Webster willing to believe in Wen Jin? Ten years old, he barely entered the kitchen.

"I'll cook a meal, you let me try it."

Wei Shi is good-tempered, but she is worried that Wen Jin will not do well, and her neighbor will work and eat badly, and she will have an uneasy conscience.

Wen Jin started to do it after eating, fried soybeans, walnut kernels, and sesame seeds, and mashed them in a stone mortar.

"Ah, it smells so good." The people in the courtyard all stretched out their noses and sniffed hard.

"Second sister-in-law Qian, what are you cooking, why is it so fragrant?"

Webster looked at Wen Jin in pleading.

"Second aunt, this is called sesame paste, which was made when the king came."

"It didn't smell as good as it did today."

"Second aunt, the talent of that day is fragrant, it's all sesame, it's just that it's easy to mash, and it's good soon, you didn't pay attention."

That day, Merriam-Webster's heart was so worried that he didn't realize it.

There are many people and great strength, and in one day, the three rooms were cleaned up, and Da Shanbo was also very careful to bring in and clean it, and the dilapidated atmosphere of the small courtyard was greatly subdued at once.

When night came, the sesame paste was cooked, and then some sugar was added, Wen Jin was still regretting that the sesame seeds were less and more beans, and it was not fragrant enough.

Wei Shi looked at Wen Jin's eyes, which was very different from a few days ago, she thought that her nephew was a mean and stingy, but who knew that she was also a warm-hearted person.

"Auntie, whoever wants to be good to me, I will definitely go back with double the good, whoever dares to calculate me, hmph, then don't want to touch my penny."

Wei was speechless, there was still a gap between this and her unconditional being a good person, but in the face of Wen Jin's serious little face, she didn't know what to say.

The next day, Webster took Wen Jin and Wenhan to dry some grain stalks, bundled them into small bundles with straw, and then strung them together and spread them between the bed board and the mattress.

Next, Merriam-Webster began to fly needles and threads to make cotton clothes. When she was rich a few days ago, she first became the second uncle, the reason Wen Jin is very clear, if she doesn't rush to the mountain, the second uncle will definitely go out to do things, how can she do it without clothes?

Wen Jin and Wen Han's clothes are remade from the old clothes of the second uncle, and they are all patched, Webster's craftsmanship is good, and there is new cotton inside, although the clothes look old, they are very comfortable to wear.

Wen Jin thinks about how to make money all day long, but Wen Han is secretly busy reading. For some reason, the second uncle did not allow him to take the exam or go to school. When Webster was spinning, Wen Jin would follow Wen Han to read and write, the hateful traditional Chinese characters, and the difficult classical Chinese, so that she couldn't read books for recreation.

On this day, they followed Da Shanbo up the mountain, but the black bear never appeared again, so they had to come back with a bundle of firewood. Cooking every day has to be burned, firewood is used quickly, Wen Jin has no strength, just chops some small branches, those adults, sometimes cut down the whole tree, the trunk is kept to build a house to make rafters, and the branches are dried and burned for fire.

On the path outside the town, a woman in an indigo coarse cloth garment walked forward with a sad face, occasionally looking back.

In the distance, a figure in black coarse cloth quietly hung behind it.

Wen Jin dried the firewood at the door, patted the soil on her clothes, and was about to go home, when she suddenly heard someone call her: "Brother Wen Jin——, Xiao Xiucai-" The voice was thin, and she looked afraid of being heard.

Wen Jin looked around, it was a widow.

"You called me?" Wen Jin didn't have a good impression of her.

"Xiao Xiucai, I want to ask you for a favor!"

"How can I help you?" Wen Jin said impatiently. The man who came to the widow was good at raising horses, and was taken away by the conscripts, and there was no news of him, and the little uncle soon fell into the pond, got typhoid fever and died, and the father-in-law couldn't stand the blow and went back, and the family immediately became two widows of her and her mother-in-law, with a little boy to live, who saw everyone was sad, Wen Jin was soft-hearted, impatient in his mouth, but his feet did not move.

"Xiao Xiucai, you are a smart person, then **** I sifted the noodles again, and my mother-in-law saw that the noodle jar was full again, so she stopped scolding me. This time, I didn't do anything wrong, but she scolded for three days......"

A person suddenly jumped out behind her: "You are a thousand knives, you don't work at home, what are you doing sneaking out?" Did you let this kid carry a letter to a wild man? ”

It turned out to be the eldest lady who followed her daughter-in-law, Wen Jin was stunned and watched this old woman go wild, and she didn't react for a moment to what was going on.

"Woo. Mother-in-law, I didn't ......" to the widow's defense.

Aunt Lai turned her head and scolded Wen Jin: "You are a troublemaker, a troublemaker, you can't see other people's lives better, what kind of ghost idea do you give the Chen family to let her deal with me?" I put the noodles back aside, and I had nothing to do when I was full. ”

Wen Jin remembered what happened on the road when she was going up the mountain on a dark morning, but she didn't expect the widow to hear her words.

Seeing that Wen Jin didn't speak, the eldest lady was even more arrogant: "Why did we come out of Linjin Town with such a number of people, you don't study well at a young age, you are not filial, and the young people in the town are not obedient, or you are still a scholar, and you are all in the belly of the dog." ”

I recruited you to provoke you, Wen Jin was suddenly full of anger, she was really sitting at home behind closed doors, and the disaster came from heaven, how could she cause this trouble for no reason? Before she could say anything, the widow "Wow-" burst into tears, "I'm just a disaster, little Xiucai, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to cause trouble for you, woo, what's the other life, I'm not going to live—" She ran north.

"Die, you die, you talk about death all day long, and you haven't seen death, go die!" Come to the aunt's mouth, it's really vicious.

"If she dies, your grandchildren will have no mother, I see how your grandchildren live!" Wen Jin was so angry.

Jiao Shi came over with a wicked smile: "Why don't you worry about it." Qian Wenjin, you are really good, you made your uncle and grandmother so angry that you fell seriously ill, and you stretched out your hand to someone else's house, you can't see others feel better. ”

Wen Jin had a special uneasiness in her mind, she frowned and thought about it, and she didn't answer Jiao's yin and yang weirdness.

What didn't you get right?

"Nothing to say, right? Such a small person, ...... vicious" Jiao's words were not finished, Wen Jin suddenly roared angrily: "Get out of the way!" ”

Jiao didn't expect Wen Jin, as a junior, to dare to yell at her like this, so she pounced on her with a snort: "Stinky boy, dare to scold your aunt, it's really upside down." ”

Wen Jin is half a head shorter than her, where is the opponent? She dodged flexibly and ran to the eldest mother, and anxiously gestured with her hand: "Come to the eldest lady, there is a blister in the north, your daughter-in-law will not really seek death, right?" ”

When the lady heard this, her face suddenly turned pale, she raised her feet and ran forward, and collided with Jiao's family, the two of them "snorted" at the same time, the eldest lady was big and strong, Jiao's fell on her back, and she was so angry that she lay on the ground and scolded Wen Jin.

Wen Jin didn't care what she said, so she chased after her, and when she heard the quarrel, she came to see the excitement, and someone followed, and a few and a half children quickly rushed to the front.

Wei ran out in a hurry, Jiao pretended to be broken, humming and waiting for someone to help, so as to take the opportunity to extort a sum of money, but he didn't expect that Fei Ju didn't look at her at all, and hurriedly chased Wen Jin.

Wen Jin was busy all day, very tired, didn't run far, changed to walking, and only halfway through, he heard someone in front of him shouting: "Rescued, rescued!" ”

"What a jump!" Wei's face turned pale, and she couldn't walk, but Wen Jin, who had returned, helped her walk.

"Leave me alone, go home and cook some ginger soup and send it over." Wei Shi gasped and pushed Wen Jin.

The ground was cold and cold, Jiao's no one cared about it, she got up by herself, patted the soil and went home, and in the next few days, she pointed at Sang and scolded Huai here, but Wei didn't answer at all, Wen Jin and Wen Han, the two children, turned a deaf ear, and a few days later, she closed her mouth angrily.

Besides, Wen Jin was busy when she got home, carrying a hot crockpot, and ran to the house, the doctor was giving the widow an injection, and the eldest lady was crying and crying while chanting: "Good daughter-in-law, I'm just not in a good mood for a while, why can't you think about it like this?" If you die, how can my grandparents and grandchildren live—" I cried so much that I cried a handful of tears, very pitiful.

Seeing Wen Jin, Aunt Lai hiccuped, covered her face with both hands, lowered her head, what a shame, scolded and scolded a kind-hearted child, and people still helped save people, she really lived back, dozens of years old, she is not as good as a child.

Wen Jin turned her head and ignored her, hum, you still know shame, when you scolded people just now, what about your conscience?

When the doctor saw Wen Jinti's ginger soup, he even claimed: "It's really timely, this kid, how good it is." ”

While watching the lively woman, she helped feed the ginger soup into it, and the widow woke up leisurely.

"Wake up, wake up!"

Hearing this, the eldest lady hurriedly got into the crowd and lowered her head in shame when she saw her daughter-in-law open her eyes and look at her.

"Mother, I, I'm going to find Xiao Xiucai, it's not lazy......" The first sentence of the widow turned out to be this, and the eldest lady was like being slapped in the face, and she was even more embarrassed.

"Good daughter-in-law, don't say it, my mother is also sad, my mother's eyes are spent, I can't embroider, how will our family live in the future, my mother is worried, anxious, don't be angry."

Are you worried, depressed, and angry with others? Wen Jin slandered in her heart, but she didn't care about other people's affairs, so she carried the empty crockpot and went home.
