Chapter 21: Farce
I don't know why, Ah Zheng and Uncle Jiang are very close to each other, and when they heard that Uncle Jiang was leaving, they were very reluctant, but fortunately, Ah Zheng was also very sensible, although he was unhappy, but he never stopped him. Considering the other party's pursuit, Ning Er and Shen Yanling built a yƬ Uncle Jiang to take the official road and try to avoid being alone, after all, the other party has done something shady and has some scruples in places with a lot of people, and Uncle Jiang can also be safer.
Uncle Jiang agreed with the idea of the husband and wife, before, he would go into the mountains in order to find the traces of his daughter, but later found out that the other party deliberately led him into the mountains to facilitate them to kill people. Now the most important thing for him is to bring things to the capital and save his life in order to avenge his daughter.
After Uncle Jiang left, Ah Zheng was depressed for two days, but the child's heart soon stopped thinking about it. Ah Zheng, who went to school, was much more sensible, Ah Ping gradually grew up, and he could already eat some rice porridge and delicate pastries, and Ah Zheng often saved a few days' pocket money to buy pastries for Ah Ping.
The weather is getting hotter, many fruits are beginning to ripen, Ning'er often goes up the mountain, and will pick some wild fruits to eat, Ah Ping has no teeth, can not eat fruit, Ning'er squeezed the fruit into juice, added sugar, boiled it and fed it to Ah Ping to drink, the child likes it very much. Ah Zheng also asked for it, so Ning'er also made some, but Ah Zheng was too big to boil again. Ah Zheng looked at the red, green, and green juice, and served it to Xiao Yun, Ning Er and Shen Yanling also followed him, they already knew that Ah Zheng and Xiao Yun were better.
On this day, Ning'er went up the mountain again to pick a lot of wild fruits and came back. Ning'er went up the mountain to pick fruits mostly in the afternoon, so she didn't have to endure the heat, and when Shen Yanling went down to the field or went up to the mountain to hunt, she could also do housework and take care of Ah Ping. The fruits on the mountain have seasonal restrictions, so Ning'er thought about making some preserved fruits and jam and eating them in the season when there were no fruits, and she was doing this for the past few days.
There are many fruits on the mountain, but Ning'er doesn't plan to make more, there are no preservatives in ancient times, even preserved fruit jam can't be stored for long, and she doesn't plan to sell it, but she just wants to prepare some winter snacks for the child. I cook some fruit porridge from time to time, everyone likes it, especially Ah Ping, pursed his lips and looked at Ning Er laughing, which made Ning Er rub his little face and smile happily. Shen Yanling saw that Ning Er liked children so much, so she smiled and said, "You like children so much, why don't you give Ah Zheng another sister!"
When Ning Er heard this, her face turned slightly red, and she said, "Forget it, Aping alone can't bring it with you! ā
Shen Yanling glanced at Ah Ping, who was only half a year old, and nodded, Ah Zheng was brought by him, so old and well-behaved, and a little older is really a headache.
The family was playing in the yard when they heard someone knocking on the door. Ah Zheng went to open the door and saw Xia Xue standing outside the door, her eyes were red, and she looked like she had just cried. Ah Zheng played well with the children in the village, Xia Xue was a cousin, although the relationship was not as good as Xiao Yun, but it was also excellent, and she hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Sister Xue. Why are you crying?"
When Shen Yanling and Ning Er heard this, they also came out with Ah Zheng in their arms, and seeing Xia Xue's sad appearance, they hurriedly pulled her into the courtyard. Ning Er handed Ah Ping into Shen Yanling's arms, wiped Xia Xue's tears, and asked softly, "What's wrong?" But what's wrong at home? Don't be afraid, tell the third aunt, who bullied our junior?"
As soon as Ning Er persuaded her, Xia Xue became even more sad, threw herself into Ning Er's arms, and cried loudly. Seeing Xia Xue so sad, the family couldn't help but worry about what happened to Xia He's family. Hurriedly asked: "Don't cry first, tell the third aunt quickly, what's going on?"
Xia Xue raised her head from Ning Er's arms, and said with a crying voice: "Daddy, Daddy, he wants to marry a concubine! Third aunt, what should I do? What should I do? Our family is already chaotic enough, my mother and father are all moving, the eldest brother and the second brother are pulling, I just came out, the third uncle and the third aunt, you go and take a look!" Shen Yanling and Ning Er were shocked when they heard this, in this era, three wives and four concubines are very common, but it is also a big family, how can a family like Xiahe who is on the food and clothing line have the ability to take concubines, this Xiahe is really nonsense. It's easy for Xia Feng to start to change, and he seriously followed Xia Lin to work, and Xia He's family has also improved a little, and he actually made such a scene.
Shen Yanling had a calm face and asked Xia Xue: "Do you know, what kind of woman is it?"
This time, Xia Xue cried even more sadly, and said with a sob: "Yes, it's the sister-in-law of the Liu family." ā
Now Shen Yanling and Ning'er are completely speechless, the rabbit still doesn't eat the grass next to the nest, this sister-in-law of the Liu family lives next door to Xiahe's house, surnamed Lin, her husband's surname is Liu, and Xia Lin Xia Xue's generation, a few years older, only four or five years old, the daughter-in-law is from a neighboring village, she looks good, but she is a little uneasy in the room, and often hooks up with young men in the village. Her husband died of a sudden illness six months ago, and he was widowed at a young age. Originally, it was normal for her husband to die and remarry, just like when Zhu also remarried Shen's father, not to mention that she was good at age. But it is usually necessary to keep a year for the deceased husband, and then ask someone to say the matchmaker, and remarry properly, and the in-laws usually do it for the young daughter-in-law themselves. It's just that this Lin family has a bad reputation, there are many men in the village who mess around with her, but there are not necessarily those who really marry her, and her husband has been dead for less than a year.
Shen Yanling frowned and asked, "Can you tell your father and mother to know?"
Xia Xue nodded, "Grandparents and fourth uncles and aunts have all gone, and the uncle and aunt have gone to town, and the fourth uncle asked me to come over and call the third uncle and third aunt." ā
Shen Yanling nodded, thinking that there must be a mess over there, so she said: "Ah Zheng, you are watching your brother at home, your father and mother will go to the second uncle's house to see, your mother has cooked fruit porridge, you are hungry and eat it yourself, remember to feed your brother, but you understand, you are not allowed to leave your brother to go out to play, you know?"
Ah Zheng nodded, and Shen Yanling and Ning Er followed Xia Xue back.
Sure enough, as Shen Yanling thought, there was a mess over there, Xia He and Liu were scolding, and Zhu was also scolding, with Xiao Si's helpless cry. The three of them walked into the courtyard, and saw Shen's father sitting under the eaves with a calm face, Zhu pointed at Lin and scolded her for seducing Xia He, Shen Yanxiang persuaded beside her, Ah Lian comforted Xiao Si, Xia Feng Xia Lin pulled her parents one by one, but Lin stood against the pillar disapprovingly, did not speak, and had a slight mocking smile on her face.
Ning Er was a little surprised, she didn't know what kind of person the Lin family was, but the mocking expression on her face was a little strange, this kind of thing, either stalking and pestering, Xia He was responsible, or crying and pretending to be pitiful, but the Lin family was obviously another category, which made Ning Er start to doubt the purpose of the Lin family, what she wanted to do.
In fact, Shen Yanling and Ning Er don't have any say in this kind of thing, but because they are a family, they at least come to persuade and cheer when necessary.
