Chapter 230: Do you want to come back?
Thirty ancestors, first in front of the ancestral hall to gather the men in the clan, kowtow all the way to the ancestral grave to worship, and then come back, although the ancestral graves of each family are not far from the edge of the village, but the more firecrackers on the way on the way on behalf of the family more prosperous, so it also takes more than an hour to go back and forth.
Listening to the constant sound of firecrackers outside, Lan Yi was worried that Yu'er had been out for an hour and should come back. Although Li Jianye's father and son and Li Li are protecting him, Yu'er should not be bullied by Li Er's lameness, but what if she is injured by such a dense firecracker?
Seeing Lan Yi looking out the window, Zhou Yue, who was sitting across the kang table, wrapped another dumpling and put it down, "Brother and sister, don't worry, they're coming back soon." ”
"I know, I just can't rest assured." Lan Yi smiled embarrassedly, took the dumpling wrappers that Min'er had rolled out and then wrapped the dumplings, "Min'er is really capable, she can roll out such a good dumpling wrapper at the age of seven." ”
Min'er was rolling her skin on another small table, listening to Lan Yi praise her, showing her small mouth with a missing front tooth, and smiling very happily.
Li Jianye's brothers have not yet separated, they all live in this big courtyard, Lan Yi was called into his house by Zhou Yue'e after he came over, and waited for Yu'er while making dumplings. This east wing room is not big, and there are a lot of things in the past, but fortunately, Zhou Yue'e is very clean and tidy with her hands and feet, and it does not look messy.
"Don't praise her, this girl is crazy, and if you praise her, you won't be able to find the north." Zhou Yue'e smiled and reached out to feed her little daughter Ermin, who was playing with threads next to her, a few mouthfuls of warm water.
"Auntie, will Brother Yu'er always follow you?" Min'er asked curiously, "Everyone doesn't like Brother Yu'er." ”
Zhou Yue's face was not good-looking, and she glared at her daughter.
Lan Yi put down a standard-shaped ingots dumpling. "I will always follow, my aunt likes Yu'er. What about Min'er, do you like Brother Yu'er? ”
Min'er nodded very happily. "I like it, Brother Yu'er is obedient and doesn't fight with me."
Children's likes are always very direct, Zhou Yue'e explained with a smile: "There are many children in the family, eating and sleeping in one place, and the noise makes people's brains buzz." ”
Zhou Yue'e has two sons and two daughters, and both of them are sleeping on the kang in this room, which is indeed too crowded.
"Second sister. It's too tight to live in this yard, why aren't my brothers-in-law and their brothers separated? ”
Zhou Yue'e sighed, "Your brother-in-law is the eldest in the family, and there is a younger brother below who is not married." But it's also soon, I guess it will be able to divide the year after tomorrow, and when you and your second brother come over, we will also have a place to stand. ”
As he was talking, Li Jianye picked up the curtain and walked in.
Lan Yi hurriedly got up, "Brother-in-law is back." ”
She looked back. But I didn't see Yu'er.
Zhou Yue'e immediately asked, "Why are you the only one, Yu'er?" ”
Li Jianye pursed his lips with his head bored, "Yu'er, his grandfather wants to take Yu'er home to see, I can't stop me, right?" Siblings, don't worry. Ziqi followed a piece over. ”
Li Ziqi is Li Jianye's eldest son, thirteen years old this year, and he is already a half-grown man.
"Yes. Brother and sister wait, it's okay to have Ziqi with you. Zhou Yue'e also comforted.
Lan Yi smiled and nodded. "Well, hard work brother-in-law. Do it. ”
Li Jianye picked up the bowl on the table and poured a bowl of warm water and drank it. Wiping his mouth and smiling: "You stay in the house, I'll go sweep the yard, and by the way, listen to the movement of the second lame man's house." ”
Yu'er was pulled by his grandfather and walked into the house, the memories of two years ago did not all fade, and when he walked into the door, it became more distinct, he was a little afraid, but he still held his little fist and straightened his chest, and Li Ziqi followed silently.
Li Chen took his daughter-in-law to make dumplings in the hall, and when he saw their grandfather and grandson walking in, he glared, "Why are you two and Tian Gui?" ”
Old man Li didn't say anything, and Li Ziqi replied with a smile: "Fourth grandmother, the second uncle will be here." ”
Li Er's cripple was beaten on the board, and his legs and feet moved more slowly.
"Qi boy, why don't you go home to clean up the yard with your father during the Chinese New Year?" Li Er's lame daughter-in-law Tang snorted coldly, lowered her eyes and looked at Yu'er, "What's the matter, I went with someone to eat fragrant and drink spicy food, and I won't even come back?" ”
Yu'er stood stiffly beside Li Ziqi and didn't respond.
Li Ziqi smiled and said, "Auntie, Yu'er was young when she left, so she has such a good memory." ”
The short Tang clan rolled his eyes, looked at Yu'er, and took a step forward to take off Yu'er's hat, "This rabbit fur hat looks quite warm, you take it with you, give it to your brother." ”
After speaking, he patted his hat with satisfaction, turned around and put it on his son's four-year-old son Li Cunfa. Li Cunfa's head was small, and his eyes were covered at once, he reached out and grabbed it and took a look, took it in his hand and began to gnaw.
Yu'er took a step forward and took back her hat, "This is what my mother made for Yu'er." ”
Li Cunfa looked at the hat in Yu'er's hand, and cried at the top of his throat. Tang felt sorry for his son, and began to scold from the corner of his eyes, "You are a little mourning star who has milk and is a mother, and a broken hat is not uncommon!" I didn't listen to your brother crying, and I didn't take out the things in my bag to coax me, and if I didn't have eyesight, I couldn't change it anywhere! ”
Yu'er was scared by Tang's before, and when he saw her staring, he grabbed his hat, took out a persimmon cake from his satchel, and handed it to Li Cunfa.
Li Cunfa got something to eat, and he didn't cry anymore, he started to gnaw with his hands, and his eyes kept looking at Yu'er's small satchel.
Li Chen saw that his good grandson liked to eat persimmon cakes, so he took a step forward and was about to turn over Yu'er's small satchel, "What is one enough to do, is there anything else?" ”
Seeing this, Li Ziqi protected Yu'er and smiled reluctantly: "Fourth grandmother, how many things can he hold in such a small bag?" Fourth master, if it's okay, let's go first, my aunt is still waiting for Yu'er to go back at my house. ”
Li Chen glared at Li Ziqi, and turned his head to wipe his grandson's nose with an angry snort. Old man Li sat on a chair and asked in a muffled voice with a dry pipe in his mouth, "Yu'er, where do you live now?" ”
Yu'er whispered: "Living with grandma, mother and younger brother." ”
"Yo, not only do you have a mother, but you also have a grandmother and a brother!" Tang wrapped the dumplings and sneered, "Sooner or later, you will be killed!" ”
Yu'er shuddered, and Old Man Li narrowed his eyes, "During the Chinese New Year, you won't say two auspicious words!" ”
Tang pursed his lips and said no more, and Old Man Li then asked, "Is your mother treating you well?" ”
Yu'er nodded vigorously.
"Do you want to come back and live with your grandparents?"
Yu'er raised her head in horror and looked at Old Man Li and Li Chen's faces in the dim light. Li Chen and Tang are not clean, the house exudes a musty smell, and the firewood is stacked messily by the stove at the foot of the house, which is very different from the clean and tidy house of their own house.
"I don't want it!" Yu'er shouted loudly in a panic, they would beat him, scold him, and rob him of his things, he didn't want to live here. (To be continued......)
