Chapter 199: The Fifteenth Day of the First Month

Ah Xiu just listened silently, and after Li Xin said this sentence, she slowly spoke: "Sister-in-law, I know, I said that I was unwilling, I just ......"

After a pause, Ah Xiu continued: "I have never seen a man like Shen Sanye, he has a cold temperament and is not easy to approach, I also know it." Ah Xiu sighed: "Mrs. Shen came to me, her eyes were shrewd, probably she saw that I had that kind of meaning for the third master, but she didn't break it, and just asked me if I would like to be a concubine for the third master." The third master never said this ......"

Ah Xiu spread out his palms and rubbed them carefully, and his voice became lower and lower: "Mrs. Shen said that the third master has a hard life, and he will never be satisfied in his wife's room, and the third master is not willing to talk about marriage again in this life and be as angry as before, so ......"

"You're so confused!" Li Xin couldn't help but interject: "What Mrs. Shen says, how can you believe it?" Even if Mrs. Shen allows you to be a concubine, it will still be a concubine, and the essence has not changed. Besides—"

Li Xin paused, "Besides, even if I want to talk about marriage, I shouldn't talk to you, what is the reason why you have a female baby's family directly talking about marriage with the man's parents?" ”

As he spoke, he persuaded bitterly: "Ah Xiu, listen to your sister-in-law, push it." You yourself said that with a big family like the Shen family, it's best not to have a deep relationship. ”

Ah Xiu lowered her head, sighed for a long time, and a long exhalation came out: "Sister-in-law, I knew you wouldn't agree." ”

She raised her head and looked at Li Xin and said, "You don't want me to be angry, you don't want me to be wronged, I understand." ”

"Silly girl, if you understand, you should go on the road to understanding." Li Xin shook her hand and said, "I know how many men you have seen in this village, the girl Huaichun, they are all the same, the third master of the Shen family is in the army, and it is natural to have courage." You haven't seen it, of course you're interested. It's just that if you respond, you won't be able to get rid of the Shen family in this life, and you will become someone else's concubine. Whether it's pawned or sold or resold is up to you. It's better to refuse now than to regret it for the rest of your life. ”

Ah Xiu moved her mouth, and Li Xin continued: "In a girl's family, there is always one or two points of vanity, no matter how sensible the girl is, and the sister-in-law also knows." You will be tempted, but you are unwilling, why is it a concubine and not a wife. But Ah Xiu, living in this world, must always abide by certain rules. Our small farm yard, a small civilian household, and the Shen family's 'in-law' relationship will always cause trouble. You're not at ease in the courtyard yourself. You have to deal with those individuals and live a tiring life. Why bother? ”

"Sister-in-law, I know ......"

After all, he sighed: "When I go back to Lantern Festival, I will go back to Mrs. Shen." ”

"Talk to Mrs. Shen." Li Xin moved her mouth, and only told her this, and then took her hand and rubbed it in the palm of her hand for a while, and said: "Studying medicine is very tiring and hard, your hands are not less, look at your hands, they seem to be a little calloused." ”

Ah Xiu slowly leaned his head on Li Xin's shoulder, and his voice was low, "Maybe I really have that vanity or two." I heard the Gu family's sister Begonia say before that being a concubine is also wearing gold and silver, and applying grease and powder, and there are still one or two points of yearning in my heart. Sister-in-law, will you look down on me? ”

"If you really respond immediately, I will look down on you. You didn't. It means that you have hesitation in your heart, but you still have two points of reason. Li Xin patted her on the shoulder and said: "No matter what happens in the future, you must keep two points of sanity, sometimes an impulse can make you go on another path." ”

Ah Xiu nodded silently, his eyes resting on Li Xin's shoulder, almost sobbing.

"Ah Xiu ......"

"Sister-in-law, let me lean on ......for a while," Ah Xiu cried in her voice, "I haven't had a mother since I was a child, although my aunt loves me, it can be seen that she has less time, and after the third sister is also married, I can't find anyone to talk about many things on my mind." People say that the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and I didn't feel this way until the sister-in-law came, and the grandson magpie used to only be sarcastic and mean......"

Li Xin was stunned, hugged her shoulders and said comfortingly: "Ah Xiu remembered your mother?" ”

"Well, it's a bit of a vague impression." Ah Xiu said softly: "In the end, I saw a big pool of red, I was stunned at the door, it was when my mother gave birth to a sister......

"Okay, it's all over," Li Xin said softly...... "Mother-in-law will be happy to see in the sky that Ah Xiu is now slim and slim, and she is studying medicine, and she has a future." ”

Ah Xiu curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and only after a while did he say a low "um".

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month was supposed to be a Lantern Festival, and the town must be very lively at this time, and the lantern festival or something will continue to be opened. However, Li Xin was not in the mood to go to the town, and they all went to the old house of the Guan family at noon on the fifteenth.

Li Xin asked Guan Wen to tell Lao Guantou, and Daoist Wang said that their house was prosperous, and the old Guan should be very loud. It's just that the matter of the river beach has to be brought out and talked about today, and what Daoist Wang said still has to be relayed to Guan Ming.

When she arrived at the old house, Hu Yueying greeted her as usual, smiling all over her face. Li Xin exchanged a few polite words with her, and they all moved a small bench to sit in the courtyard.

Today, the sun is just right, and it shines warmly. Ah Xiu and Ah Mei leaned together and whispered, while Hu Yueying pulled Li Xin's homework.

Hu Yueying said very energetically, although she was sitting, she was not idle, she was slaughtering pigweed in her hands, and muttered to Li Xin: "...... Daddy's big fat pig was sold, I don't know how much it sold, but looking at Daddy's expression, it should be a very high price......"

Then he chattered about the two remaining pigs in the pigsty of the old house: "...... Compared to that one, there is not much fat, I am afraid that I will have to raise it for half a year, and I don't know what my father-in-law plans now, whether to carry the two piglets back from the empty pigsty position......"

Li Xin smiled and said, "Yueying, don't tell me about pigs, I don't know much about pig raising." You used to have pigs at home when you were a girl? ”

"Raise it, it's two ends every year." Hu Yueying came out with an empty hand, stretched out two fingers, and had a little smug on her face: "My father is familiar with the road at home, I usually can't lift the pigweed, so I scoop it into the bucket and let my father carry it and pour it into the pig trough." Over the years, my father has become familiar with it, and nothing has gone wrong. ”

Li Xin nodded and said, "I've always heard that Yueying can do it." ”

Hu Yueying brushed her hair embarrassedly, Li Xin saw that she still had pigweed clippings on her hand and beckoned to her hair, a little panicked, and saw the white ears on the side that were exposed after picking her hair, and for a while felt a little ruined such a beautiful pair of ears.

Hu Yueying was very attentive to Li Xin, said this and that, and then pulled it to the facial cleanser that Li Xin gave her, and praised her for being better, her skin was better, and the spots on her face had receded a little. Then he said, "...... It's also so good that I think it won't be long before it runs out, and it's a waste for me. ”

In the end, Li Xin heard it, Hu Yueying said that she was going to run out there, and tentatively asked Li Xin if she could give it to her again?

Li Xin paused, and then said: "If Yueying runs out, just come to me and get it again, no need to be polite." ”

Li Xin thought that Hu Yueying would at least have to excuse herself, and finally she would come down. Unexpectedly, Hu Yueying immediately nodded and agreed: "Then thank you sister-in-law!" ”

What is the ...... It made Li Xin feel choked.

At the beginning, Hu Yueying said that which made her a little unhappy, and the words that eagerly responded later made Li Xin smile bitterly in her heart. Even if she wanted to, she didn't need to be so eager! Maybe she will think that Hu Yueying is a greedy person - Hu Yueying herself doesn't feel it at all.

Seeing that she happily packed up a dustpan of pigweed and brought it to the stove, Li Xin exhaled.

Think about it, forget it, it's all two families living together, and she can't say anything about Hu Yueying. These are all trivial things, presumably she will only stretch out her mouth with the people of the Guan family, and she will definitely not say these things when she goes out.

Besides, there is a shrewd Guan Quan, Hu Yueying is his daughter-in-law, according to Guan Quan's temperament, he will definitely not let Hu Yueying cause him trouble.

When the sun was high at noon and the food was almost on the table, Guan Ming walked back leisurely, followed by a young man who was about the same height as him. Walking to the door of the Guan family's house, Guan Ming seemed to want him to come in to eat, the man waved his hand twice, said something with a smile, and then turned around and left.

Guan Ming came in with a smile on his face, and was stunned when he saw Ah Xiu and Ah Mei sitting in the courtyard: "Why are you two here?" ”

"Daddy forgot it's fifteen? The New Year is coming to an end. Where did Dad come from? ”

Ah Xiu stood up lightly and asked, Guan Ming laughed dryly twice, didn't answer her words, but asked, "Then your eldest brother and they are all here?" ”

"Daddy."

Guan Wen came out of the firewood room, hugged a bundle of firewood, and frowned slightly when he saw Guan Ming: "You went to the village to gamble again?" ”

"Just have fun, it's okay right now anyway."

Guan Ming waved his hand and went straight to the hall as he spoke; "Your sixth brother is coming back in the evening, since you are back, take care of a good table."

Ah Xiu raised her eyebrows at Guan Ming's back, and led Ah Mei into the stove to scoop water and wash her hands - a habit formed in the medical hall, except for Li Xin, who would wash her hands before and after meals at home, she rarely did this except for a few times she had learned from it.

The sisters dried their hands, and when they turned around, they saw Hu Yueying holding the rice retort. Hu Yueying smiled: "Ah Xiu, there are big rules in the town, you have to wash your hands before eating?" ”

Ah Xiu called out lightly, "Fourth sister-in-law", and nodded, helping to set up the table where the woman was eating in the stove - Hu Yueying and Li Xin were talking, and she heard it.

At this swing, Ah Xiu immediately wrinkled his brows - the table was greasy with a layer of oil, and the rice residue or something was also attached to the surface of the moth-eaten table, which looked really dirty.

"What's wrong?"

Li Xincai took the soup up, and when she saw Ah Xiu stunned there, she hurriedly asked.

"Nothing." Ah Xiu didn't look back, answered, took a rag and wiped the table, and wiped it several times in a row before he was slightly satisfied.

Her actions were naturally seen by Li Xin. Li Xin glanced at Hu Yueying, who was busy shoveling pigweed, thoughtfully. (To be continued.)
