At dawn, the rooster in the house began to crow. Lan Yi listened to the familiar rooster crow, and showed a thick smile before she opened her eyes, she turned over and buried her little face in the chrysanthemum pillow, quietly listening to the rooster chirping and bird chirping in the courtyard, it was so good.

When she raised her head and saw that the two children were sleeping very deeply, Lan Yi covered them with quilts, gently put on their clothes, and found that Jia Shi had also woken up.

"Aunt Yao, you can lie down for a while, it's still early."

Jia Shi dressed neatly: "It's okay, I got up at dawn in the Wang family's mansion." ”

In the Wang family, she and Mrs. Zhou and others were on night duty for Mrs. Zhou, and they all slept on the couch outside, paying attention to the movements of the old lady inside, even so, there was no time to make up for sleep during the day. Although the kang is harder now, the refreshing air in the mountains still makes her feel very comfortable.

"It's okay, Aunt Yao get up and take a walk, the air is comfortable in the morning."

Lan Yi lightly arrived in the courtyard, and the strict cries of several big white geese "rolling" suddenly sounded, and the goats also found the little master, and barked "baa", the donkey was even more excited, and opened his throat to make a long roar, and the chickens also joined in the fun and came to a chorus. The four horses tied to the donkey were a little unable to react, and they all used their hooves to dig the soil to express their dissatisfaction, and obviously said: It's early in the morning, what a lot of excitement!

"It's really hilarious, they're all hungry, aren't they?" Jia Shi listened to the liveliness of this courtyard and felt very novel.

Lan Yi smiled and went to open the door for the white geese: "The goats and chickens are hungry, these four big white geese want to go out to play in the water in Huaxi." ”

Sure enough, seeing her walking towards the gate, several white geese stopped calling and waited in line. "Come back early, you can't lay eggs outside."

Lan Yi instructed and watched the white geese line up in a column and walk leisurely towards the stream. She turned her head to look at Zhou Weiji's house, Zhou Weiji didn't come back last night, because Lan Yi didn't hear the familiar sound of horses' hooves all night, and presumably stayed in the city with Dao Wufeng.

Jia Shi fetched well water to freshen up, "Tao'er, what do you see what I should do?" ”

Lan Yi was also polite, "We still have rice in the kitchen, let's boil millet porridge and drink it this morning." Aunt Yao, you boil water to cook porridge, and I'll make cakes. ”

Jia Shi shook his head, "Where can two people be busy with this kind of work, you tell me which pots and pans to use, I can do it alone." ”

Although Lan Yi's kitchen is small, there are three pots and a stack of pots, and she distinguishes them very clearly. Lan Yi explained to Jia Shi the purpose of each pot and basin one by one, pointed out to her where to put rice, etc., and began to chop vegetable leaves to feed the chickens, and put the grass that Second Uncle Wang carried back yesterday into the trough for the goats, donkeys and a few horses.

Lan Yi patted Xiaohuo and Xiaobai's necks, "Xiaohuo, Xiaobai, this is our family, the two of you will live here in the future, next to the little donkey, it is the boss, you have to listen to it." ”

The two little fruits were shorter than Lan Yi's donkeys, and they were later, naturally not the boss, the little donkey seemed to understand Lan Yi's words, snorted, squinted at the two ponies, leaned out, and occupied half of the trough to graze, full of domineering.

Lan Yi smiled helplessly, and turned to look at the five little goats that had just been born to the second and third baba in the family. It is very easy to identify, the two black-eared lambs are three-baa, the three white-eared ones are two-baa, and sure enough, the two baa are more powerful, she nodded with satisfaction, clapped her hands and turned around, and saw that Wang Chengde had gotten up and stood on the gravel road in the middle and looked around.

"Dad, are you up and sleeping well?"

Wang Chengde nodded, "Tao'er's courtyard is really lively." ”

Lan Yi smiled very proudly, "Dad, I'll take you around." ”

After a round of introduction, Wang Chengde sighed with emotion: "Tao'er, you can tidy up such a big yard by yourself, and there is still so much grain in the cellar, my father will be down-to-earth when he looks at it." It's just that the furniture in this house is a little shabby, so it's better for Dad to go around the city these days and give you a new batch of new ones, and it looks brighter. ”

Lan Yi hurriedly shook his head: "Dad, these furniture are old in Wang Linshan's family, they can still be used, so I am not in a hurry to change them." ”

"It's okay, wait until you get married." Wang Chengde nodded, pointed to the courtyard to the east and asked, "Is Wei Ji's courtyard over there?" ”

"Yes."

"Well, the walls of this courtyard are quite high." Wang Chengde looked at the stone wall separating the two families and nodded with satisfaction. The southern half of the courtyard wall between Lan Yi and Zhou Weiji's house was covered with honeysuckle and loofahs she planted, and the section of the courtyard wall near the hall house on the north side of the firewood room and kitchen was so high that Lan Yi's tall arm could not reach the wall.

Lan Yi blinked, what does it mean that the courtyard wall is built high? Could it be that he was afraid that Zhou Weiji would climb the wall and come over?

"After you get married, open the moonlight door here, and it is convenient to connect the two courtyards." Wang Chengde put his hands behind his back and walked towards the door, "I'll go to Weiji's courtyard to have a look." ”

He was also worried about the situation of Zhou Weiji's house.

"Ahem, Dad, Brother Tuesday didn't come back last night, and there is no one at his house now."

Wang Chengde didn't stop, "Then forget it, Dad will go around the village and come back later." ”

Lan Yi was busy cleaning the furniture, tidying up the luggage packages that were placed on the kang yesterday, these things directly filled her kang cabinet and wardrobe, and Lan Yi put the valuable ones directly in the box and locked them. In this way, there are still a few big bags of winter clothes that have nowhere to go, Lan Yi sighed, it's time to add a cabinet to the house.

The family sat around the kitchen table and ate breakfast, Wang Chengde took Wang Chunrong out, saying that he wanted to help Uncle Wang and them go to the hillside to clean up peonies, Yu'er and Wenxuan also packed a lot of food on their backs and went out to find their friends, Lan Yi and Jia Shi continued to clean up and scrub at home.

After someone knocked on the door, Lan Yi went to open it and found that it was the eighth mother-in-law and the second sister-in-law and the sister-in-law next door.

Seeing Lan Yi, the eighth sister-in-law happily pulled her up and down to look her up, "Brother and sister, I heard that you came back yesterday, and the sisters-in-law came back from the field late, so they didn't come over." How's it going, is it going well? ”

Lan Yi nodded, "Second sister-in-law, sister-in-law Niu, you hurry up and come in and sit." You're almost busy in the fields, aren't you? ”

Sister-in-law Niu nodded, "It's almost, we have also planted peonies on the hillside, if it weren't for the stall that collects mountain goods, someone has to watch it all the time, and now it should have been busy." ”

The two of them worked together to collect the delicacies and game that everyone had just returned, and then sold them to the Castle Peak grocery store to make a lot of money. Sister-in-law Niu's husband Niu Wentian did not go into the mountains to hunt this year, and the children in the family were able to eat with their bellies open, so Sister-in-law Niu was naturally happy.

"Yo, brother and sister, why do you have so many horses in the house? And with two small ones. The eighth wife and the second sister-in-law took advantage of the searchlight and immediately searched for the difference in Lan Yi's yard, "I heard that your father and eldest brother sent you back, these two big horses are ridden by the two of them, right?" What about these two, could it be that they are really prepared for two children? ”

Lan Yi nodded, "Sister-in-law really guessed right." These two ponies are not big breeds, we brought them back from Meixian, and when the children are older, they will be ridden, sister-in-law, don't look at this horse is small, it is strong, and it is not a problem to pull and pack. ”

Sister-in-law Niu also looked at the two ponies one red and one white curiously, "No wonder Niu Dan went back and clamored for a pony, saying that you prepared one for Yu'er and the baby, and this horse got a lot of silver, right?" ”

She really didn't ask, "This is their uncle's play with the children, I don't know how much silver, but it's not a precious thing." ”

The eighth wife and the second sister-in-law nodded, and commented professionally: "That's it, this horse looks good, but compared with the big horse next to it, it is useless, and it is estimated that it can be more expensive than a donkey." Brother and sister, this horse is not easy to ride, and my sister-in-law will ride it another day, and it will be enjoyable. ”

Sister-in-law Niu bumped her round shoulder with her shoulder, "Come on, with your flesh, you can't press the pony down!" ”

"What's wrong with the meat? We are blessed to have enough meat, you can look for it in one of our villages, and see who else is richer than us! The eighth mother-in-law and the second sister-in-law straightened their chests and said proudly.

Lan Yi and Sister-in-law Niu couldn't help but smile at each other, "I didn't count the matter of this pony, Yu'er and Wenxuan, the two children, can be used as eyeballs." Sister-in-law, let's go into the house and sit down, and I'll bring some things for you and the children, just one piece for you. ”

At this time, Jia came out of the house with a wooden basin and stood by the door with a smile.

"Sister-in-law Niu, second sister-in-law, this is my aunt, come with me to help take care of the two children, you can call it Aunt Jia. Aunt Yao, these are my two sisters-in-law, and they treat me and the children very well on weekdays. ”

Jia Shi nodded slightly, "Thank you for your care, I will often come and sit in the future." ”

The eighth mother-in-law and the second sister-in-law and the sister-in-law Niu looked at Jia's family, and saw that she was outstanding, and her style was not comparable to that of ordinary village women, so they all smiled and saluted.

The eight mothers and two sisters-in-law rolled their eyes, and without saying much, Lan Yi took them into the house and took out the fabrics, pastries, silk flowers and other prepared gifts and sent them over.

As soon as the two sisters-in-law left on their front feet, Yang and Wu and others came to visit again, but they all sat down and left, after all, they were busy with farming now, and they didn't have time to chat.

Lan Yi put the house in place, "Aunt Yao, you rest at home for a while, I'll go to the field to have a look." ”

Jia nodded, "I'll take down the curtain from the house and wash it, now that there are no mosquitoes in the house, the curtain should be put away." ”

Lan Yi knew that she was in a hurry to participate in the family and play her own usefulness, so she didn't stop her, "Trouble Aunt Yao, I'll buy some meat and come back later, let's eat noodles at noon." ”

As soon as Lan Yi went out, she saw a thin figure running over and grabbed her sleeve, "Daughter-in-law Lin Shan, you are really a noble aunt!" ”

Lan Yi took a closer look, and it turned out to be Zhao Zhongxuan's mother-in-law, Cui's. Cui's this year for his son's things gray hair, can't eat, just Wang Linshan said that they found Zhao Zhongxuan in Meixian County, and brought his family letter back, and read it to the family, the family learned that Zhao Zhongxuan was released, and he will be back next month, crying and laughing to put down the heart that has been hanging, and his father directly lit firecrackers to celebrate.

"Auntie, I and the Zhongxuan brother also met by chance on the street, and I wanted to ask him to come back together, but the Zhongxuan brother was busy in the shop and couldn't leave, and said that the second sister would definitely rush back when she got married. You can see him when you see him, he is now like a different person, steady and down-to-earth and capable, you should rest assured this time. Lan Yi comforted, and said that this time the Cui family finally didn't have to go to the old locust tree at the entrance of the village to wipe his tears and wait for his son, which was really a great joy.

Lan Yi told Wang Linyuan and Zhao Zhongxuan, only saying that Zhao Zhongxuan was working in the shop in Meixian, and did not specifically say what he was doing in what shop.

Cui Shi snorted and wiped his tears, "It's good to be back, it's not bad for the past few days." San'er's stinky temper is best known to me as a mother, he must have suffered a lot to change his appearance, and we are all incapable of being a father and mother......"

Lan Yi listened to Cui's babbling, and felt the greatness of mother's love again, "Body, how are the family preparations?" If you need any help, just open your mouth, and we'll go over and help. ”

Cui Shi smiled and said proudly: "Everything that should be bought is complete, there is nothing to be busy with, and when the day comes, you will have to take the children over to eat the banquet noodles." My third son wrote to him that he had earned money outside, so let's not save a few more tables and invite everyone to come over to eat. ”

Marriage is a lifelong event, the woman has to set up a banquet to invite relatives when she returns to the door, and the banquet is full on behalf of the family's wealth, which is a very face-saving thing.

Lan Yi nodded in response, said goodbye to Cui's and walked towards the hillside. R1152
