Chapter 339: Farewell to Qixi Festival
After Yu'er went to Yixue, Zhou Yue'e and the others also packed up and rushed back to Lijia Village.
"In the cloth bag I brought over, I took the time to dry the horse ear vegetables, and the steamed buns are the most delicious in winter, auntie, you can take them back to eat a rarity." Zhou Yue'e was a little embarrassed, "It's really not a good thing that can be handled, don't dislike it, auntie." ”
Zheng naturally wouldn't lose her face, clapped his hands and smiled: "It's a coincidence!" Horse ear buns are exactly what I taste, but thank him so much. ”
Lan Yi asked Zhou Weiji to put the dried bag of mung beans on the ox cart, and picked a lot of melons and vegetables and put them on it. Li Jianye kept waving his hand, he and Wang Chengde drank a lot of wine, their faces were red, and their tongues were a little curled.
"Sister, it's better for you all to rest and go back, brother-in-law can't do this." Lan Yi persuaded.
"Auntie, don't be careful, I have it." Li Ziqi held his father's arm and promised, "Dad is happy to drink a few more glasses today, and it will be dark when he wakes up." ”
"He is so virtuous when he drinks!" Zhou Yue'e said hatefully, and also carefully held her husband's arm, "I don't think Uncle Wang and Chunrong drank like him." ”
"Eldest sister, let Wei Ji send you back." Lan Yi looked at her brother-in-law's appearance and was really a little uneasy, turned to Zhou Weiji and said, "Be careful on the road, don't be in a hurry." ”
Zhou Weiji nodded and turned to lead the horse, as soon as Wen Xuan heard that he was going to ride the sunspot, his eyes lit up and he was about to follow, and Jia Shi immediately stopped him and said why he couldn't.
Although Wen Xuan understood, he still drooped his little head in frustration, and Zhou Yue'e saw this. patted him on the head: "Bao'er will go to play next time, and my aunt will make you something to eat." Uncle Wang, Aunt Wang, Aunt Jia, you all stay. Brother and sister in our house, you can rest assured, if Wei Ji dares to bully her, I will be the first to follow! ”
"With your words, we are relieved! Don't be polite if you don't do well, just teach a lesson. Zheng pulled Min'er and was reluctant to let go, "If you have time to go to Meixian, you must come to our house to sit down." ”
Wang Chengde and Wang Chunrong helped to get Li Jianye to sit on the ox cart, and Li Jianye, who was usually honest and silent, drank too much and talked more. Pulling the father and son of the Wang family to keep saying that they would be relatives in the future, and that they would be polite if there was something, Li Ziqi reluctantly pulled the ox cart and walked out.
When Zhou Weiji led the horse over. The people had gone out of the gate. He saw that Lan Yi's big watery eyes were full of worry, so he nodded with a smile, indicating that he hadn't drunk too much. It wasn't a big deal to him.
"Father-in-law, mother-in-law. Go back and rest. Eldest sister, they have me to send it, don't worry. ”
Lijia Village was not far away, Zhou Weiji rode back quickly, stood in front of Lan Yi and smirked.
Lan Yi shook her head and turned into the kitchen, and Zhou Weiji followed behind her.
"Second brother, is your brother-in-law okay?"
Zhou Weiji nodded and laughed lowly.
Along the way, the brother-in-law praised Lan Yi directly, saying that if his two sons could marry such a two-room daughter-in-law, he would be satisfied in his life. Zhou Yue'e also praised Lan Yi, and the Ziqi brothers were red and couldn't speak. The two little girls shouted that their uncle would pick her up when he was free to play again, which could be said to be lively all the way.
Zhou Weiji was now comforted in his heart, and the whole person seemed to be drunk, so he took the sobering sour soup cooked by Lan Yi and drank it in one go.
"I'll go to the back mountain, and the hillside will be cleared out in the next day. For the rest of the next few days, we will walk around with my father-in-law and mother-in-law. Zhou Weiji turned around and was about to go to the back mountain, and after cleaning up the hillside, he had a lot to accompany her, and now he felt that he was full of strength.
Lan Yi immediately grabbed him: "Second brother, why don't you invite Su Yi and Shicai to come back for a light meal today, and we will give us the salary?" ”
Zhou Weiji looked at her little hand holding her sleeve for a while, resisted the urge to hold it, and reached out to pin a strand of broken hair that she had fallen off behind her ear: "Silly girl, what should I tell me to forget again?" Tomorrow, it's not easy to cook for so many people, don't be tired. My father-in-law didn't drink less at noon, and he was afraid of hurting himself if he drank it again at night. ”
Lan Yi nodded, and even drinking alcohol did hurt her body: "Wei Ji, you can rest and go again, don't worry about the next day or two." ”
Zhou Weiji shook his head, patted her little shoulder and rushed back to the mountain. Lan Yi thought about what Zhou Yue'e said about the old things about the reclamation of the back mountain, and her heart was sour, but she also knew that this was Zhou Weiji's old injury, and she had better not mention it.
Zhou Weiji was already a little machismo, and felt that since Lan Yi married him, she wanted to enjoy happiness at home, and he should be allowed to deal with all troubles. Lan Yi didn't want to do this, but he was also considerate of his intentions, and asked Zhou Weiji to discuss everything with her under the background of male superiority and inferiority, which was difficult for him to accept in a short period of time.
Lan Yi is not in a hurry, she has a lifetime to be with him, and in this long time, they can understand each other, run in, and sooner or later find each other's best positions.
She looked at her courtyard, the middle courtyard is different from the west courtyard, except for the tall plane tree by the well, there are no melons and fruit plants, and the chickens and geese in the family are also in the west courtyard, there is only a little pig in the pit here that needs to be fed, it is really a big man's yard, I don't know how to use it reasonably, Lan Yi smiled, thinking about the scene of his life alone, his heart was sour.
She turned to look at the tall and spacious main room, thinking about everything Zhou Weiji had done. She suddenly wanted to know what kind of home he wanted, what she could do for him, let him feel the warmth of home, and she couldn't wait to make him feel warm.
Lan Yi took a deep breath and returned to the house, Wen Xuan and Jia Shi were still taking a nap, Jia Shi had been here for a while, and they had adjusted similar to Lan Yi's biological clock, but they were also safe.
Lan Yi returned to the bedroom and didn't sleep, took out the outer gown that had been half made for Zheng's, threaded the needle and thread and began to rush to work, so that her mother could wear the clothes made by her daughter before Qixi Festival. Although this craft is a few grades worse than the original spring peach, as long as she is single-minded and stitch-by-needle, Zheng will definitely like it.
It's just that I don't know if Chun Tao is still in the world, has she really come to her own world?
As soon as noon passed, Wuxuan woke up. Lan Yi heard Jia Shi take him out to pee, so she turned her sore neck and walked out.
"If this yard is big, it's inconvenient, and it takes a while to go to a thatched house." Jia Shi took the convenient Wenxuan to the well to wash his face. He looked up and smiled, "I heard your Aunt Hua say that many families in the village have opened an open space next to the main house to enclose it as a thatched house, but it is convenient to do so." The smell was unpleasant. ”
Jia has been in the village for a long time, but most of them are in their own homes and fields, and rarely visit other people's homes, so many things are heard rather than seen with their own eyes.
The Aunt Hua in Jia's mouth is the Hua family of Zhao Lizheng's family, and Jia's got along with her unexpectedly, and the Hua family really admires Jia's medical insight. I didn't learn much from her. And from her, Jia also heard a lot of gossip about things in the village, and the two complemented each other.
"Go farther away, and the children will be able to run on their own when they grow up." Lan Yi thought as she washed her hands. "It's cold in winter, don't you still have a toilet at night?"
"The baby can run over on his own now." Wen Xuan said proudly with his small chest, "Mother, let's go pick up duck eggs, shall we?" ”
Lan Yi and Jia Shi looked at each other and smiled. These two children have a lot of love for chickens and ducks.
"Peach, you're at home. I took him around the garden and plucked some pigweed. Jia Shi smiled and patted Wen Xuan's chubby face, "Let's go and beat the grass for the big baa first, the ducks will lay eggs in the future, and we will pick them up together after school." ”
The baby naturally nodded, "Mother, the baby wants to drink a bowl of mung bean paste before going." ”
Lan Yi took out the mung bean paste made when she taught Zhou Yue'e's mother and daughter at noon, and Jia and the baby each had a bowl.
"Aunt Yao. Don't let him run around, there have been a lot of children playing in the stream recently. We'll have to be careful. Lan Yi admonished. This stream is also deep, Wen Xuan's small body is still not reassuring, the third baby looks honest, but he is also a wilted child, but his courage is not small, in case he takes Wen Xuan to play in the water and has an accident, it will be too late.
Every year, there are rumors of children in the nearby village having accidents in the water, and Lan Yi is now repeatedly warning the two children that they can't go to play in the water without their father, and the two children are well-behaved and have never been there without permission.
There are many children in the village who still go into the water without telling the adults, but fortunately, the adults in the village are not stupid, and there is a way to know whether they have entered the water or not. For example, if you gently scratch the child's little arms and legs with your fingernails, if there is a white road, it is going into the water, which will definitely be beaten, and it is said that this method is very experienced. However, there are policies and countermeasures, and children with good eyes will be able to rinse themselves at home immediately after playing in the stream, so that they will not draw a white path and adults will not be able to find out. Every time Lan Yi thought about it, she felt helpless and funny. It is because the adults in the village have no choice but to row a safe water area for the children, and they also turn a blind eye to them playing in it, but once they find that there are children out of the water, then no matter who the adults are, they will be scared and scared when they pass by.
In the blink of an eye, it was Tanabata. Because of the rain at night, it is difficult to pray to God. This night, Lan Yi and Zheng slept together, reluctantly.
On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the carriage of Qingshan Shangji stopped at the door of Lan Yi's house, and Lan Yi packed up a lot of special products and loaded them. In addition to the ones for my father, there are also gifts for Mrs. Zhou, including some letters written by Wenxuan, although there are not a few words, they will definitely make the old lady happy for a while.
Second Uncle Wang's family, Erfa and others, Lan Yi and Jia took their two children to send Wang Chengde and the three out of the village early in the morning.
Zheng was reluctant to part with tears in his eyes, but he didn't say much in front of so many people, and only told Lan Yi to be filial to the old man, husband and children, and so on. Lan Yi nodded in response, with tears in her eyes.
"Don't worry, mother, your daughter remembers what you said, you and your father take care of your body."
As he spoke, he saw that Wang Chengde also said goodbye to Second Uncle Wang and others, and led the horse over.
"Brother, my father and mother will ask you to take care of you along the way, walk slowly, carefully and safely." Chunrong came over with Lin Xuan and Lin Xi, and Lan Yi admonished.
Chunrong nodded, patted Lin Yuan's shoulder with a smile, the two exchanged glances with each other, tacitly, Fang turned back to Lan Yi and said, "Don't worry, sister, brother knows." ”
"Second sister-in-law, it's not too early, you have to rush to the edge of the city to meet the carriage in the store, it's time to go." Lin Yuan glanced up at the sun and reminded that there was a batch of oil and dry goods in the store to be transported to Meixian, so Lan Yi asked his parents to follow the convoy, and there was also a care on the way.
Zhou Weiji walked over, it was time to go. Sending you a thousand miles must be goodbye in the end, Lan Yi nodded, and pulled the child and parents to leave. Wang Chengde looked at his sensible daughter, and he also looked reluctant, and when Zheng got into the carriage, he pulled Wen Xuan and only said: "Tao'er, take care of the children, don't be tired of yourself, hire a few more people if you have more work in the field, if you are willing to do it, do what you can, you know?" ”
Father's love is like a mountain, although there are not many words, but every word is affectionate.
"My daughter wrote it down, Dad, my daughter is not filial, and she can't be filial by your second elder's side, your second elder must take care of your body."
When Lin Yuan and Zhou Weiji escorted the carriage away, they disappeared into the mountain road. Lan Yi turned around and thanked everyone who came to see him off, hurried home and couldn't help crying secretly, and took off the sheets and covers from the three sets of bedding in the west courtyard, and soaked them in the well.
"Mother, look!" Wen Xuan, who had already returned from beating pigweed, came out of the fence of the vegetable garden with his little hands in his hands and ran to Lan Yi's side.
Lan Yi shook his head, cleared his mind full of thoughts, and saw him holding three cicadas with a satisfied look.
"So many cicadas! That's amazing! "In the past few days, the cicadas singing among the summer trees in the vicinity have been much quieter, and there are no more cicadas in the soil, so it is naturally difficult to find the cicadas, and it is not easy to find three.
"It was grandma who saw it on the cucumber shelf and the baby took it down." After that, he parted his little hands and put the cicada in the palm of his mother's hand, his eyes sparkled, and the fun of children is always so simple.
His small appearance is a classic expression waiting to be praised, and Lan Yi felt a burst of warmth from the bottom of her heart: "Mother's good Bao'er is really getting more and more powerful, where is this cicada going to go?" ”
"Wash it and put it on the windowsill." Wen Xuan replied loudly, "Mother, let's go to the pharmacy next time to sell it, the third baby brother also wants to go, I think he is looking for a lot more than us." ”
Cicadas can be used in medicine to treat children's convulsions and other diseases, most of the pharmacies in the county accept some, but the price is cheap, two pennies a tael, and a bag is not worth a few pennies. But for children, no matter how much they earn money on their own, the sense of accomplishment is still very good.
"Okay, when your brother doesn't go to school, let's go to the city and sell it together." Lan Yi put the cicada on the windowsill to dry and washed his little hands, "You go into the house and drink some water, and let's go to the garden later, your brother should be out of school." ”
Last night there was a lot of rain, but today's sun is very good, the soil is half dry, it is a good time to weed.
Seeing this, Jia Shi smiled and said, "It's okay, what do you want to eat at night?" ”
Lan Yi smiled, "Aunt Yao, you can do whatever you want." ”
The days have returned to calm.
It's just that this time Lan Yi no longer has only two sons by her side, but more husbands. (To be continued......)
