Chapter 551 Dengzhou comes to kiss
Lan Yi put down the brush, patted the donkey's neck and turned to look at Yu'er. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Yu'er is too sensitive, he will think a lot if he doesn't say it clearly, "No, your grandfather is now working in the cattle and horse market in the south of the city, and the family can get by." Yu'er, I passed you over because my mother wanted to be a real, justifiable mother, and no one could take you away if she pulled you to her side. ”
"Only if my mother treats me as a baby, and in the eyes of others, I am a dead star, so she will not rob me." Yu'er had a mist in her eyes and a muffled voice.
"How come, our Yu'er is so cute, there are many people who want you. When we went to Uncle Xiaoqi's house to drink the wedding wine, several of Uncle Xiaoqi's sisters-in-law said that you looked like their family and wanted to snatch you to be your son. Lan Yi said jokingly.
Yu'er widened her eyes and shook her head vigorously, "Don't, I don't want to go to their house, mother, I don't want to go." ”
"Well, if you don't go, your mother can't bear it. They are a wake-up call to my mother, my mother thought that although your grandfather agreed to let you follow me, but you still have your grandfather's family, in case your grandmother suddenly ran over one day and wanted to take you back to raise, even if your mother did not agree, there was no way to refuse, so she was in a hurry to pass you to her own name, so that no one could snatch you away from your mother. Lan Yi said seriously, she really thought so, so she discussed with Zhou Weiji to pass Yu'er over. Even if the Cheng family had doubts about Yu'er's background, they would not take him back to raise him, but his grandfather's family was different.
Yu'er pursed her lips, "I haven't seen my grandpa and grandma since I was born, and they won't want me." ”
Lan Yi said seriously, "Mother doesn't know what their situation is, if they really like you and want to take you back, of course Mother is happy for you, it's okay for you to go back and live with them for a while." But if they don't really care for you but have other purposes, how can my mother rest assured. It's all right to be prepared, isn't it? ”
The dark clouds in Yu'er's heart finally dispersed, "Don't worry, mother, no one can separate us in the future." ”
After getting along with Yu'er for three years, Lan Yi has already regarded him as his own son, and it is difficult to give up. The donkey leaned its neck against Lan Yi's arm, dissatisfied with the owner standing next to him and not brushing himself, Lan Yi glared at it, untied the reins and led it to grind mung bean noodles.
Yu Yan, who was feeding the chickens in the yard, saw Lan Yi leading the donkey out, and immediately jumped over, "Madam, is it grinding noodles, I'll go." ”
"No need, you go to the inn and come back with eight futons, and dry in the yard for a day, and tomorrow the uncle of the Zhou family should arrive by himself." Lan Yi commanded.
Yu Yan stood up, "I'll go now." ”
"Don't run back and forth by yourself, let the guy who looks after the store help you get it back." Lan Yi advised, although Yu Yan has the strength to have fast thighs and feet, but she doesn't use it like this.
Jia still felt that it was inappropriate, "Let the two children sleep with you, and Yan'er and I will move to the West Courtyard." ”
"It's okay, arrange it like this first, and then change it when they come back." Lan Yi said, they didn't just stay for one or two nights when they came back, it was also more convenient to live in a separate courtyard.
"It's okay, I'll go and pack up the things in the kang cabinet and prepare them first." Jia Shi thought about it, but decided to pack up his things first.
Yu Yan's legs and feet were fast, and after a while, he came back with the futon, "Madam, the news of the young castle lord has come back." ”
Lan Yi let out a weak voice, looked up and saw that Zhou Weiji was still riding a horse in the courtyard with Wen Xuan, and led Yu Yan to the West House before asking, "What do you say?" ”
Yujiabao has a unique way to transmit messages, and the messages are also transmitted with secret codes, and outsiders can't read them even if they intercept them. Yu Zimo told Lan Yi before leaving, asking her to contact him through Yu Yan if she had something, and told Yu Yan a way to contact Yu Jiabao in Huang County.
"The young castle lord said that the person had found it, but the other party's asking price was very high, even if the young castle lord mediated it, it would take five thousand yuan." Yu Yan said truthfully.
"You help me tell my senior brother, it's no problem how much money you have, someone will help me book it first, and then I will use the best, and I will send the news when it is ready." Lan Yi nodded immediately, isn't the money earned back just to be spent.
Yu Yan had been with Lan Yi for a short time, and she didn't know her family background, so she knelt down on one knee and said, "Madam, you can tell the slave and maid to do it, and the slave and maid will never give up." ”
Lan Yi helped her up, "Didn't you say that you shouldn't kneel down in front of me, and don't call yourself a slave." I understand your intentions, but this is not for you to do. Also, I can't let as many people know about the message that my senior brother and I have passed on, even if the master asks you, you can't say it. ”
Yu Yan stepped back and went to transport the bedding.
The next day, when Master Zhou saw Lan Yi, his face was very ugly, but he didn't mention Yu'er's matter, he only called her to the front and first said a lot of truths about being a wife. Lan Yi lowered her hands and listened obediently, and the old man Zhou was a little more comfortable, so he let her go out and follow the work, and walked around the roadside at the entrance of the village with her hands behind her back, waiting for the eldest son's family to come back.
When Zhou Changfa's family arrived, it was already evening. A large family hired two carriages, and the carriages contained large bags of gifts, most of which were for Old Man Zhou, and Lan Yi only got a bag of dim sum from the famous dim sum shop in Dengzhou City.
Zhou Changfa's wife Nian Shi stretched out her white fat palm with a gold ring and gold bracelet, grabbed Lan Yi and praised her, "I have long heard your eldest brother say that Wei Ji married a daughter-in-law like a fairy, I still don't believe it, this is really amazing, our Jiawei is very blessed, I haven't waited in vain for so many years, and I finally waited for you." ”
After Nian's praise Lan Yi said loudly, "Wei Ji wrote to us at that time to ask us to build a house so that I could marry you, your uncle and I nodded without saying a word, my own nephew was distressed, what is a house, even if I don't have a place to settle down, I have to marry his daughter-in-law first." ”
Lan Yi didn't like to hear this, "Yes, the eldest aunt treats Wei Ji very well, we all know in our hearts, if it weren't for a family, how could the courtyard be given to Wei Ji for only twenty taels." ”
Thursday's wife, Zhang, jumped up immediately when she heard this, "What? Just take the leaky broken house and broken yard and ask for twenty taels?! Sister-in-law, you are embarrassed to say that it is given! ”
Nian Shi said as a matter of course, "Twenty taels is not too much, and you can't get two hundred taels for such a big yard in Dengzhou." Twenty taels of silver in Dengzhou, not to mention land, even if you buy clothes, you can't buy a complete set. ”
After speaking, she raised her hand and straightened her sleeves, her clothes were specially bought to return to her hometown to worship her ancestors, and she was reluctant to wear them on weekdays, just to put them in front of her family. Zhou Weiwen's wife, Duan, saw her mother-in-law's pretentiousness, lowered her head to cover her face with a sneer, a poor woman from the countryside, how many years she lived in the city, she couldn't change her vulgarity.
Zhang and Hu were immediately diverted and asked about the prosperity of Dengzhou, which was exactly what Nian's appetite was, and the three of them quickly got together. Lan Yi saw the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and no longer interjected, and went to the kitchen to help prepare dinner for a large family, Old Man Zhou refused to set up the meal in advance in order to wait for the big family to come back, Lan Yi was afraid that the children would be hungry and couldn't stand it, so she asked Wei Ji to take them home for dinner, but she didn't expect her aunt Wang to follow, saying that she was helping to take care of the children.
Yang saw Lan Yi also come in, smiling and squeezing his eyes, "Got it, right?" ”
"Well, just like you said, the eldest aunt is a wonderful person." Lan Yi sat beside Ma, "Sixth brother and sister, you go into the house to rest for a while, and I will light the fire." ”
Ma's head shook like a rattle, "I won't go, my aunt praised me to goosebumps, and my second sister-in-law didn't believe you touched it, and it hasn't fallen yet." ”
Lan Yi nodded in deep agreement, and the goosebumps on her body also stayed for a while before falling. Zhao, who was carefully plucking chicken feathers one by one, raised his head and said kindly, "Sixth brother and sister, speak quietly, it's hard for people to hear it." ”
Ma raised his eyebrows, and he really didn't care about the authenticity, "Third sister-in-law, what's this, when I hear it, I will be scolded twice, and it doesn't hurt or itch." Anyway, let's talk about it first, how uncomfortable it is to hold it. Don't pull out this chicken feather, I'll come, you go and ask if it's served, and our mother won't come back, I'm so hungry that my heart is close to my back. ”
"Let's not ask, grandpa will call when it's time to eat." Zhao said timidly.
Wang walked in with two large pieces of tofu and a handful of fresh shallots in his hand, and when he saw that Zhao was idle, he handed her the green onions and instructed, "Wash and chop the green onions, mix two large plates of tofu, and make a few points." I'll take a look in the house and get ready for dinner. ”
Because of the welcome to Zhou Changfa's family, the meal was very rich, the fish and meat were complete, and the rare green vegetables in winter were also fried. The eldest aunt Nian sat in the first place, looking at a table of vegetables and chirping, "Second brother and sister, the green leafy vegetables at the end of the year are not cheaper than meat, and they are sold for almost fifty wen a pound in Dengzhou City, I don't dare to let go of eating, and I only fry one or two dishes at each meal." ”
Wang Shipi smiled and didn't smile, "I learned to grow a greenhouse this year, and the vegetables are home-grown, so it's not worth the money." ”
Nian's eyes flashed, "It's amazing, you can go to the greenhouse." Since it's home-grown, why don't you fry more, these dishes are not enough for so many people. Also, this elbow doesn't look like it just happened, it's left over when the sixth child got married, or the second brother and sister will live. ”
"Yes, last time my sister-in-law came back and said that she would eat meat and produce phlegm, and she would live a long life as a vegetarian, so I went to buy a piece of fresh tofu, and my sister-in-law ate a few more bites." Wang said coldly, turned his head and greeted Zhou Weiwen's wife Duan and the two girls with a smile, "Language books, flowers, flower buds, don't be stunned, hurry up and eat while it's hot." ”
Duan's famous language book is the daughter of a talented family, and she is strict with her two daughters, and she is very particular about sitting and walking. Since entering the house, Hua Hua Bud did not say much except to answer the question, and stood behind her mother in a regular manner, and now sat next to her mother and ate delicately, listening to Wang's words, she raised her head and smiled toothlessly, and then hung her head to eat.
Duan's clever smile was slight, and his voice was like an empty valley dripping spring, "Thank you, second aunt, the food is very good, and I have to work for my brothers and sisters." ”
Lan Yi shook it, and the tofu in the chopsticks fell into the porridge bowl, so she had no choice but to pick up the bowl and start drinking the porridge. If Duan's is ten years younger, this tone and posture are just right, but she is over thirty years old and has given birth to four children, so no matter how she looks at it and listens, she feels awkward.
Ma and Yang next to Lan Yi also couldn't stand it and took a deep breath and drank porridge with their heads down. Hu Shi spoke, and his voice unconsciously imitated Duan's, "It's just a good job, what is the hard work, the sister-in-law is all good, but she is too polite." If we have time to go to Dengzhou one day, my sister-in-law will do the same. ”
Duan's smile stiffened, and his chin stopped talking. Thursday's wife, Zhang, glanced at her daughter-in-law appreciatively, "That's it, sister-in-law, Yushu, next year, Hai'er will go to Dengzhou to take the exam, so I won't have to trouble you." ”
Nian stuffed a large piece of stewed pork rind into his mouth, swallowed it contentedly before speaking, "What is this, it should be." Your eldest brother said that when he left this time, he would take Lao Qi over, warm the book with Feiyun, and send him back after the exam. ”
"That's a good dare, with you taking care of me, I'm a hundred at ease." Zhang's smile was bright, "Or do you say that the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and the sister-in-law puts us all in her heart, this is a blessing that we have cultivated for several lifetimes. ”
Nian's body was comforted by Zhang's flattery, and he ate a whole elbow with a big appetite.
Finally full of wine and food, Zhou Weiji and Lan Yi took the big family home, and the Wang family and the Yang family came over together, and took a few small ones back by the way.
Nian Shi first turned around the four rooms in the middle courtyard when he entered the door, his eyes were full of surprise, but his mouth was still unforgiving, "Wei Ji, what are you doing with the house so high, the weather is cold and can't hold the heat, and it is useless." I'm still a rare old house, with low roofs and small windows, and I live in a warm house. ”
Zhou Changfa glared at her and didn't speak, Zhou Weiwen smiled at Zhou Weiji, "Charcoal is burning in the house, and the windows are tightly sealed, I think it's quite warm." ”
Lan Yi smiled, "What the eldest aunt said is reasonable, the house is not as warm as the small, and the old house is more comfortable to live in." ”
Nian sat down happily, "Now it can only be like this for a few days." ”
"How can you let the eldest aunt and uncle come back, and finally come back for a trip after the New Year, so naturally you have to let your uncle and aunt live comfortably." Lan Yi said sincerely, "Aunt Yao, Yu Yan, let's go and clean up the bedding in the west courtyard immediately, and vacate the warm old house for the eldest aunt to live in." ”
Nian was dumbfounded, "No, what's the trouble, I can ...... wherever I live"
Lan Yi had already stood up and walked out neatly, "It's not troublesome, it's all cleaned, just move a futon." Sister-in-law, why don't you go over and see what else you should prepare, and by the way, pick and choose which room you plan to live in? ”
Duan glanced at her husband, and Zhou Weiwen immediately stood up, "Brother and sister, let's all live in the West Courtyard, it's more convenient." Flying clouds, flying clouds, walking, follow me to carry luggage. ”
In this case, the whole family stood up and ran to the west courtyard. Compared with the house in the middle courtyard, the west courtyard does look a lot older, but the house is cleaned up, and the curtains and furniture are all newly replaced by Lan Yi before she got married, which looks warm and comfortable, but there are no stone slabs on the ground, and it looks a lot dim under the lights.
