Second Uncle Wang's youngest son, Wang Linyuan, went to work in the field early, and when he was not at home, Second Uncle Wang took Lan Yi's mother and son into the hall.

The sun is shining very well today, a few rays of sunlight shine through the window paper on the ground inside the house, and the particles of dust jumping in the light, this familiar scene reminds Lan Yi of her hometown and parents in the countryside.

A small incense burner covered with incense ash was placed on a long offering table, and in front of the offering table was a table of eight immortals with bright red lacquer and several chairs of the same color. Second Uncle Wang walked through the hall, pointed to the curtain of the east house and said to Lan Yi: "Lin Shan's family, this is the house where Lin Shan lived before, and the things are all left by Lin Shan and his father." ”

Before Second Uncle Wang's words fell, Lan Yi heard the Liu family behind him snort in displeasure. She pretended not to hear: "Second uncle, it's too troublesome for you." I live in this house with my children. ”

"Okay, okay." Second Uncle Wang was still a little sad, "The third one, you go into the house to clean up, and you will move back later." ”

Liu's eyes widened when he heard this: "Move back?" Father-in-law, where are the three of us going back? ”

After that, she glanced at Lan Yi dissatisfiedly, "Even if you build a shack, you have to allow two days of work!" We're not here and don't leave, what's the hurry! ”

It is understandable that the Liu family has resistance, but what she means is that she thinks that Lan Yi is in a hurry to drive the family out when she comes back.

Without waiting for Lan Yi to speak, Second Uncle Wang became angry: "Something without rules!" Thanks to your sister-in-law, she persuaded me to let you live in this area, so you still let me move immediately, which will only add to the blockage! ”

Second Uncle Wang has always been silent, and he didn't blame his two daughters-in-law for more than half a sentence. Liu didn't expect her to complain a few words, so Second Uncle Wang opened his mouth to scold, and suddenly felt that her father-in-law had lost her face. Liu was surprised and aggrieved, hugged the child and turned back to the West House, and there was a sound of ping-pong beating.

"Second uncle, your old well-meaning niece and daughter-in-law are grateful. It's just that this yard is spacious and the house is enough to live in, so let the third brother and sister build a new house and then move" Lan Yi saw that the second uncle was angry, and hurriedly persuaded him, "We are a family, you must not see your nephew, daughter-in-law and children." ”

Second Uncle Wang took a deep breath and shook his head: "Lin Shan's family, it's not this reason, you don't understand the rules of our countryside." ”

Lan Yi had to nod when she heard this, and when Chuncao saw this, she hurriedly stepped forward and curtled her knees and asked, "Madam, the slave maid will go in and clean up, you take the young master to rest for a while." ”

Lan Yi saw Chuncao supporting her face like this, and felt warm in her heart: "Chuncao, don't be busy." Go and let Liuzi take the things off the car, and you can go back to the Xia Mansion, and my sister can't leave anyone. ”

"Madam, the girl has repeatedly told the slave maid and the sixth son to settle you and the young master before going back. The slave maid went to help the six sons unload their luggage. Chuncao bent her knees and retreated.

Liuzi came in with Lan Yi's backpack and baggage, and Chuncao also brought in Lan Yi's small wooden basin rag, and asked Lan Yi how to tidy it up with his eyes.

The sixth son came in with Lan Yi's basket and package,

Lan Yi gave the baby to the sixth son to hold, took out Wang Linshan's ashes from the back basket, wiped it clean with his sleeve, and placed it on the offering table. Second Uncle Wang was in tears when he saw it, and only said that he was sorry for his eldest brother and didn't take good care of Lin Shan.

Lan Yi hurriedly said a few words of consolation before taking Chuncao into the east house to clean up.

The east house is about 25 square meters, the south half of the window is a clay kang, the upper side is a kang cabinet against the wall, and the north half is stacked with some dilapidated furniture.

Lan Yi asked Chuncao to help clean up, and she came out to the carriage to bring Yu'er into the house.

"Second uncle, this child is my righteous son Li Cunyu, Yu'er, this is the second grandfather."

"Second grandfather" Yu'er shouted in a low voice, her tone full of fear.

Second Uncle Wang nodded and did not speak. The righteous son also went to the non-biological one, and Lan Yi said that it was hers, not Lin Shan's, so Second Uncle Wang was a little disliked.

At this time, Wang Linxi pulled the car in, and a young man walked in with a hoe behind him, looking very similar to Second Uncle Wang, and his eyebrows and eyes were only a little more clever than Wang Linxi.

"Daddy." The young man entered the house and gave a salute to Second Uncle Wang first, "Junior brother Lin Yuan has seen his sister-in-law. ”

"This is your third brother Lin Yuan." Second Uncle Wang's face softened and introduced him to Lan Yi.

"Third brother." Lan Yi nodded in greeting, thinking that it was fortunate that she was the "second brother" and "third brother", not the "uncle", otherwise she would have to be awkwardly killed by this title.

"Your sister-in-law has come back with her children and wants to stay at home. You pack up and move back, and live in the East Wing first. ”

Wang Linyuan nodded, listening to the second brother talk about the eldest brother's death and moving, he was also sad at this time, and when he saw the clay pot by the incense burner on the offering table, he knew that it was the ashes of the eldest brother, and his eyes were red.

"Sister-in-law, eldest brother is gone, you can rest assured that you live at home. If you have anything to do at home, just tell me and my second brother, neither of us has the eldest brother to be promising, only to do stupid work and errands. ”

Wang Linxi also nodded in response, and Second Uncle Wang heard Wang Linyuan say this, and a look of satisfaction flashed in his dim eyes.

"What? Big brother went? Liu Shi slammed open the curtain, raised his voice by three points, and stared at Lan Yi.

Lan Yi nodded, and when she saw Wang Linshan's ashes, Second Uncle Wang was muttering and crying. When Lan Yi comforted him, he had already mentioned Lin Shan's absence. However, Liu was angry in the inner room at that time and packed his things and did not hear it.

A complicated look flashed in Liu's eyes, and he didn't know what to say when he opened his mouth, Wang Linxi hurriedly asked, "It's all cleaned up?" ”

"Not yet, not yet." Liu turned around and went to clean up again. Wang Linshan She has never seen it, she only knows that there is a big brother who went to take the top exam after winning the show, and she often fantasizes that the eldest brother will come back from high school and her family will follow her, how do you know that she will wait for such a result.

"Sister-in-law, Niuniu's mother is such a shocking character, don't be surprised." Wang Linyuan said apologetically.

Lan Yi nodded slightly.

"Alright, second and third, you guys start pulling guys. Lin Shan's family, you also pack up, I'll go back first, and you will come over for dinner later. Second Uncle Wang stood up and left.

Lan Yi sent it to the door and asked Yu'er to play with Liuzi, who took the two children out to pull weeds and feed the goats with great interest, and he couldn't help with other things.

Lan Yi turned back to the house to help Chuncao clean the house, and while the sun was still good, she rolled up the straw mat and the kang quilt on the kang and carried them to the yard, and beat the floating soil with a stick.

This large courtyard seems very empty, with only two east wings. There is a vegetable field in the west, thatched houses in the southwest corner, and a small shadow wall is erected behind the courtyard gate in the south, Lan Yi is very satisfied with this courtyard, and wants to build a sheep shed in the south, so that his goats can also settle down.

Liu Shi walked out of the house, just in time to meet Lan Yi's eyes, she turned away uncomfortably, walked into the east wing and began to clean up the utensils in the kitchen. Lan Yi naturally wouldn't take the initiative to help make people idle, so she cleaned up her things by herself.

Lin Xi and Lin Yuan went back and forth three times before pulling the things in the house away, Lin Yuan originally planned to keep the table in the hall, but Liu disagreed, because these were her dowry, Lin Yuan had to listen to her daughter-in-law, the woman's dowry is her private property, and others cannot dispose of it at will. When Liu and Lin Yuan got married, her mother's family asked for a lot of bride price and dowry, which basically hollowed out the second uncle's family funds, so Lin Xi's daughter-in-law Chen was dissatisfied, and the relationship between the two concubines has not been warm.

Lan Yi saw that it was still early, and asked Liuzi to ask where he could buy rice and noodles, and wanted to buy some food before Liuzi and the two left, but he couldn't let the two go back hungry.

Shopping to go to Zhoujia Village, not far from Beigou Village, happened to be the market day of Zhoujia Village, so let Chuncao take the baby at home and carry the basket to buy things. Yu'er saw that Lan Yi had to follow when she went out, and Lan Yi had no choice but to take it.

Because it was the end of the day, there were not many people in the market, but fortunately, most of the shops on both sides of the road were open. Lan Yi found a small shop selling grain and bought four liters of white flour, two liters of millet and four liters of rice. This bazaar sells rice and noodles with a container called "Shengzi", which is also available in Lan Yi's hometown, which is generally composed of four trapezoidal wooden blocks and a smaller square wooden block at the bottom of the bottom, connected by mortise and tenon joints, so that ten liters are a bucket, and ten buckets are a stone. The price of rice noodles is also calculated in terms of liters, and the price is cheaper than that of Qingshan Town.

These rice noodles are not as good as the quality of rice noodles in Qingshan Town, Meixian County, the noodles are yellow, and the rice is also brown rice. Lan Yi didn't think about how delicate it was, in her opinion, it was already good to have a place to stay without being hunted down and to eat a stable meal.

Lan Yi carried this half bag of about thirty catties of rice noodles on her back, and the words "Cai Gao Ba Dou" flashed in her mind: "Eight Dou, almost two hundred and fifty catties of 'Gao Cai'!" Cao Zhi is really talented! Lan Yi couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Yu'er was looking around curiously, but when she heard Lan Yi's laughter, she looked up at her.

"Yu'er, there used to be a very powerful scholar named Xie Lingyun, he said, 'There is only one stone in the world, Cao Zijian has eight buckets, and I have one bucket'. Yu'er, you see, what my mother is carrying is a bucket of grain, this Xie Lingyun has so much knowledge, Xie Lingyun said that Cao Zijian, with such eight bags of knowledge, is very powerful, right? Lan Yi said softly.

Yu'er blinked her big eyes, turned to look at the food Lan Yi put in the back basket, nodded confusedly, Lan Yi patted his little shoulder, "Yu'er is still young, and I will understand what my mother means in the future." ”

Thinking of the kitchen at home that was emptied by the Liu family, Lan Yi bought some spices and chopsticks, and the back basket and hands were full.

Lan Yi looked at the sun, it was already three or four o'clock in the morning, and the group of them had not eaten since breakfast in the morning, and everyone should be hungry. Lan Yi looked for the fragrance and bought seven large cooking cakes at the market stall, and the fragrant pork was sandwiched in the cooking cakes, which made people very appetizing when they smelled it, of course, the price of this meat cake was not cheap, eight cents each, which was comparable to the price of three liters of rough noodles.

Lan Yi gave Yu'er a cookcake for him to eat, and rushed back to Beigou Village with a basket on his back and a big cloth bag.
