Lan Yi handed over the fabric, thanking Second Uncle Wang's family for their help a few days ago, and the Li family naturally handed over the things with a few polite words, and said that it was just right to make a few clothes for the children, and the Chen family also came up to thank the sister-in-law.

"Yu'er, your little basket looks good." Chen took the initiative to greet Yu'er.

Lan Yi saw that Yu'er looked happy but didn't know how to answer, so she took over the conversation: "Hehe, this little back basket was bought on the market by Touji, and Yu'er wants to carry it on his back to grass the goats at home." Yu'er, take out the food in the back basket and give it to your sister. ”

Yu'er nodded, put down the small back basket, took out the dim sum inside and opened it, and handed it to Li and Chen with both hands, looking at them a little timidly. Li looked at it with a smile, Chen squatted down and put Niuniu on the ground, and she asked her to take two pieces and hand them to Niuniu.

"Niu Niu, call me brother." Chen pointed to Yu'er and asked Niuniu to recognize people.

The big girl is more than two years old at this time, and she still knows how to call people: "Brother." ”

Yu'er listened, nodded, her little mouth couldn't help but turn up, she looked happy, the baby was going to eat again, Yu'er naturally took a piece and put it in his little hand, put the rest of the snacks on the table, and stood beside Lan Yi and didn't eat snacks.

"This kid is really a painful one." Seeing that Yu'er was so well-behaved and sensible, the Li family also praised that they learned about Yu'er's life experience from Second Uncle Wang, and they felt a little more pity for him. Lan Yi didn't say that the warlock said that Yu'er was a "mourning star", after all, this warlock's words were still very demagogic, and if the second uncle's family believed it, Yu'er's situation would also become embarrassing.

"Yes, with Yu'er helping me take the baby, I can also free my hands to do things." Lan Yi asked again: "Second aunt, is there a bamboo forest near us?" I wanted to cut some bamboo to make a fence for the vegetable garden, so I bought a few chickens at the market today and planned to keep them. "The small back basket I bought today is made of fresh bamboo, and Lan Yi thinks that there should be bamboo around.

"Yes. Catch up with Ming'er and ask your second uncle to cut some for you. "Although there is a bamboo forest, it is a little far away, the Li family is afraid that Lan Yi will not be able to find it, so he still directly asks Second Uncle Wang and them to save trouble, after all, the three of them are also cutting wood these days to prepare to build a house, which is a convenient thing.

"What's so good and troublesome second uncle, I'll do it myself." Lan Yi was embarrassed to say that this was not what she meant.

Li smiled and waved his hand: "Bao'er, mother, you stay at home, I'll go to the slope." ”

After Li left, Lan Yi touched the small clothes on the eldest girl's body and asked Chen for advice: "Second brother and sister, I want to make two thinner clothes for the child, but my sister-in-law is clumsy, so I came to learn from you." ”

Chen nodded: "Sister-in-law is really polite, come and sit in my room?" Mother-in-law is going to pull weeds on the slope, thank you sister-in-law for renting the slope to us. ”

Lan Yi's three acres of sloping land are rented to Uncle Wang's family at fifty percent of the rent, which is two percent less than renting other people's fields.

"Brother and sister are out of sight, let's not talk about this." Lan Yi smiled, thinking in her heart that she should also clean up the fields and prepare for planting.

The two took the children into the main house West House, which had the same layout as Lan Yi's house, with an earthen kang in the south and a lot of furniture in the north.

Putting the three children on the kang and letting them play together, Chen turned around to get the sewing basket for making his own clothes, Lan Yi smiled and said, "The second brother and sister are really clean in this house. ”

Compared with the Liu family, Lan Yi feels much better about the Chen family, and Lan Yi intends to be friendly with her, so naturally there are more words.

"We just met, and after a long time, you will know that I am also a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west, and I have been scolded by my mother-in-law." Chen replied with a smile, and winked at Lan Yi after speaking.

Lan Yi couldn't help but smile: "Brother and sister, this is Dafu's clothes?" ”

Chen nodded: "My sister-in-law's family is all male babies, and I compare Dafu's clothes to them." It's not difficult to make children's clothes, you see, it should be "Because I know that Lan Yi doesn't remember a lot of things in her head, Chen's explanation is very detailed, I'm afraid she won't understand."

Chen's head is the Tao, Lan Yi nodded again and again when he heard it, this farmer's clothes are simple and sturdy, and it is not difficult to do.

"Brother and sister, I have to trouble you to help me cut the fabric, I have my hands, I'm afraid that I will cut the fabric by myself." As Lan Yi expected, this dress is to cut the fabric and sew the cloth pieces.

"What's this, I'll take Niuniu over tomorrow and help my sister-in-law cut it." Chen responded cheerfully.

Over there, Yu'er was teasing the big girl and the baby, and the three of them laughed a few times from time to time, which was very harmonious.

Chen put down his clothes and sighed: "I heard my father-in-law talk about Yu'er." Sister-in-law, how can you say that family is so ruthless! In such a good year, it is not a famine, can this child be without a mouthful of food? Even in the years of famine, people sell their children and daughters to sell them to large families, thinking that their children will have enough to eat, how can they be so ruthless to push their children into the fire pit! They are not afraid of going to hell either! ”

Lan Yi nodded, she didn't want to talk about it in front of Yu'er: "Yes! We can't wait to hurt our children in our hearts, where can we understand the thoughts of those wicked people. Why didn't you see your third siblings? ”

"I took the child back to my parents' house. When she ate today, she said that she would leave all the vegetables she grew to her sister-in-law for you to eat, but it was rare to see her so generous. Chen replied, his tone full of disbelief.

Lan Yi smiled and nodded, "It's really left to our mother and son." The third brother and sister went over in the morning and said that they would pull it out and sell it at the market, and I thought that I had no food to eat, so I bought it for 150 Wen, which was about the same price as giving it away. "Since I paid the money, I naturally can't let the Liu family ask for this cheapness, and after receiving the money, I will be a good person.

"I knew it! It's a shame that her in-laws still praise her for being sensible. Chen pouted, "Except for Wen Yuan and her second girl, this person guards everyone else as outsiders, if it weren't for her treating Wen Yuan's father and daughter really well, we would have stopped doing it a long time ago." Sister-in-law, you too, what are you doing with so much money, if you want to eat vegetables, we have it in the vegetable garden, not far behind our house, I will take you to recognize it another day. ”

Lan Yi opened the topic, "Thank you brother and sister, but those vegetables are enough for us to eat, and besides, I also bought vegetable seeds and planted them." I asked the third brother's family to move when I came back, no wonder she was unhappy, and it was uncomfortable for anyone to put this matter. ”

Chen shook his head disapprovingly, and folded the small clothes in his hand neatly: "That is the yard of the eldest brother, and when the sister-in-law comes back, they should move out, which round will make her unhappy." Besides, my father-in-law said that after harvesting the crops in the field, he would build a new house for his husband and wife, and he would move in before the end of the year. ”

"That's fine, it's not spacious to live in a yard after all."

"That's right. However, this old house has also begun to leak, and the roof has to be repaired this year. "Wang Linxi is the eldest son of the second uncle, even if the family is to be separated, the second uncle Wang and his wife will follow Wang Linxi, this Chen is very clear, even if they build a new house, they don't have their share, they just envy it. Fortunately, Second Uncle Wang is an understanding person, and said that after the family is separated, he will make up the silver for Wang Linxi and his wife, and the Chen family has nothing to complain about.

"Sister-in-law, speaking of which, the roof of your yard has just been cleaned up, and it shouldn't leak in the past few years. Big brother's house is stronger than the one in our yard. ”

Lan Yi nodded. Wang Linshan's house and yard are much better than Second Uncle Wang's, and I think the original family background should be the same.

"Brother and sister, my parents-in-law, how did you go?"

When Chen heard Lan Yi ask about her uncle, she couldn't help but sigh: "Alas! Uncle and Uncle Niang, speaking of which are walking on front and back. The winter of Yongxi's twenty-fifth year was particularly difficult, with heavy snowfall one after another, and every family could not get out of the yard. Uncle went out and fell, then he couldn't get off the kang, the aunt went out to catch medicine for the uncle and came back with a cold, the eldest brother was studying in the county school, and when he got the news and rushed back, the aunt had already gone. The uncle fell badly, and since then he has not been able to get up, and his temper has become more and more irritable, and the eldest brother has never gone to the county to study, and he is serving the uncle at home. ”

"I didn't expect my mother-in-law to go like this, how can their father and son live!" In the twenty-fifth year of Yongxi, Wang Linshan was only sixteen years old, and after this great change, a half-old child took care of his bedridden father, which was difficult to imagine.

"yes." Chen responded. remembered the situation when Yongxi married into the Wang family in the autumn of the twenty-sixth year of Yongxi, when he saw Wang Linshan, Wang Linshan was polite and polite, his face was haggard, and he was almost thin and out of shape. He was originally engaged to marry in the spring of that year, but because of the death of his mother, he had to keep filial piety and delayed, and the woman saw that his father was also bedridden, and the family was not as good as day by day, and she was clamoring to withdraw from her family. The Wang family naturally disagreed, so the two families had a few fights, and finally retired from the family. After all, it is not a glorious thing to be dismissed, and it is not good for Chen to talk to his sister-in-law.

"In the early years of Puhe, the new emperor ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world, and also opened Enke to select good talents, and the eldest brother failed to catch up because he kept filial piety for his mother and took care of his father. In the summer of the second year of Puhe, the uncle also went, the eldest brother studied hard behind closed doors, and Puhe won the show in three years. At that time, my father-in-law said that the eldest brother could top the door, and he left with his luggage in the spring of the fourth year of Puhe, so he was going to do something to 'study tour' to catch the exam, and he would never come back. ”

"This imperial examination, Xiucai went to the state examination, shouldn't it be in the autumn of that year? How did he get out the next spring? Lan Yi had some doubts in her heart, maybe it was because the imperial examination system here was different?

Chen shook his head: "I don't know about this. ”

After Wang Linshan won Xiucai, he did not go to the state examination in the autumn of that year, first, his father had just gone, even if he was selected, he had to keep filial piety at home, and he could not be sent to be an official; The second is that he feels that he is only a shallow learner, and he is afraid that there is no possibility of being promoted.

After Wang Lin showed off his talent in the mountains, matchmakers came to his door to kiss him. After a delay in the death of his parents, Wang Linshan also reached the age of twenty, and the second uncle and aunt thought about marrying his daughter-in-law to enter the door, which could be regarded as a vacation. Wang Linshan didn't have this mind, but he couldn't refute his uncle's good intentions, so he went out to study in advance.

Lan Yi knew about Wang Linshan's past, and looked at the baby sitting on the kang, and felt bad in her heart. Wang Linshan is a hard-working person, his parents died, he left home with a dream to study and take the exam but died in a foreign land, I don't know what kind of twists and turns he experienced after leaving home, and his life was also ruined in Meixian.
