Chapter 216: Plain Clothes
Li Xin was about to ask her what was going on at her third uncle's house, when she suddenly heard movement outside the courtyard, but after a while, Li Houzhong walked in. "Ya-Wen * Yan + Love $ First @ Hair"
It is estimated that he saw Guan Wen outside, and he was not surprised to see Li Xin in Li Houzhong, and smiled at Li Xin and said, "When did the girl arrive?" ”
"Just a moment there, Daddy."
Liu complained to Li Houzhong: "What did your eldest brother tell you to do?" It took a while to come back. ”
Li Houzhong was vague for a few sentences, did not answer Liu's words, and only said: "It's noon, what are you doing if you don't set the meal yet." ”
"I'm not waiting for you."
This reminded Liu, and he hurriedly shouted to Zhang: "The rice retorts are all hot, just serve the vegetables and fry them at this time." ”
Zhang promised to go to the stove, Li Xin naturally went to help, Liu wiped the table with a rag, and took the opportunity to ask Li Houzhong again: "What is the matter with your eldest brother looking for you?" ”
"It's all right."
Li Houzhong rubbed his waist and sat down, sighing like "ouch". Liu Shi was annoyed when he couldn't get his answer, and he felt distressed when he saw that his waist hurt, but he still said unforgivingly: "If there is anything, you will have worms in your stomach, and you won't tell your family if you become maggots." ”
Li Houzhong glared at her: "Is there an analogy like yours?" ”
"Otherwise, how can you make an analogy? The old people are not rough in their speech. ”
Liu snorted angrily, but turned his head and called Li Erlang and said, "Erlang, come and press your father's waist a little, his waist hurts again!" ”
Li Erlang hurriedly responded. Also walking in with him was a related text.
When his son and son-in-law went into battle, Li Houzhong was naturally physically and mentally comfortable, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, it doesn't hurt." ”
Li Erlang had a big mind, so he took his hand and asked Li Houzhong: "Dad, what's the matter with you going to your uncle's house?" ”
Li Houzhong glared at him and said, "Why are you asking so much, it's none of your business." ”
Boss Li Erlang was not happy, pouted and said: "When I don't have a brain, I won't be able to guess if you don't say it, Dad." ”
Liu wiped the table and was picking up the rice retort brought by Zhang, and said on the side: "That's it, your father thinks he's smart, we're all stupid." Li Lao Er. If you don't say it's difficult, we won't guess? ”
"Guess what."
"Don't say it, if you want to say that your eldest brother is looking for you, it is nothing more than four things, one is your mother's golden silk nanmu coffin, this matter has been talked about for many days, and it is not impossible to bring up the old words again." Ya-Wen * Yan + Love $ Shou @ Fa" Liu counted him: "The second is that the Yang family paid you the eldest brother's silver, but they can't find you in this matter, and you can't get the money." Eighty percent is what is wrong with this money, and I will discuss it with you. ”
Liu put aside the rag and then gestured: "These three, it is your eldest son who has become the head of a village, and your eldest brother has begun to woo you and tie you up." Fourth, it's for your third brother, I'm afraid the old lady let you go. ”
After Liu finished counting him, he looked at Li Houzhong and said, "Second Li, do you want to tell me if I guessed right?" ”
Li Houzhong was stunned and stunned. After a while, he closed his chin and said stupidly: "You are the roundworm in my stomach." You know what I think? ”
Li Xin happened to bring the dishes up, and when she heard this, she immediately smiled: "My mother and father have been married for decades, how can I not know the person next to my pillow." ”
Liu snorted and shouted in a loud voice: "It's all eaten!" The two babies let them come back for dinner too! Da Lang's family, go to call Xiaodou to get up, and sleep early in the morning. ”
Xiaodou didn't sleep well yesterday, kicked the quilt in the middle of the night, and got up a little in the morning. Tossed all night. Zhang gave him some medicine to dispel fever, and Xiao Dou didn't want to get up, so he stayed in bed for half a morning.
Zhang went to hug Xiaodou and got up, Li Xin beckoned Shanzi and Yang'er who were "good brothers" to eat, the family barely sat down at a table, Li Xin asked, "Big brother is not coming back?" ”
"Half of his Tai eats at his uncle's house." Zhang said with a smile: "Uncle and grandfather insist on keeping him, and he can't run back, isn't this not to give uncle and grandfather face?" ”
"It's not good to be like this all the time, Uncle Clan, he is old and has a high seniority, it doesn't matter if you keep one or two meals, keep a few more, I'm afraid that his son and daughter-in-law in the family have opinions."
Li Houzhong put aside his chopsticks and said, "When he comes back and tells him, pay attention to these places." ”
After eating, Li Xin and Zhang's got together to talk about tomorrow's banquet. Because Li Xin has done two or three of these things, he is naturally familiar with them, and the Zhang family still has to learn from Li Xin. Hearing what she said, Zhang couldn't help but laugh and said: "You have only been married for half a year, how can you be more proficient than me, who has been married for several years, it really makes people feel unbalanced." ”
Li Xin said with a smile: "If my sister-in-law does it herself, she can do it without asking me for my opinion." You heard me say that eyebrows are eyebrows and eyes are eyes, and if you say it yourself, it must be the same. ”
Zhang slapped her with a smile, and in a few words, he finalized the specific arrangements for tomorrow.
I didn't see Liu in the next morning, Li Xin went to her room to look for her, Liu opened the door for her, Li Xin looked at the clothes on the bed and suddenly couldn't cry or laugh.
"Mother, what are you doing here?"
"Just in time, help me take a look."
Liu Shi hurriedly pulled Li Xin, picked up one at random and compared it on his body, and turned around in a few circles, asking, "How about this one?" Will it be a little more vegetarian? ”
What Liu is holding in his hand is a light blue padded jacket, the sleeves are spliced, the color is darker, the oblique collar, and the single-breasted ring buttons look quite young.
Before she could say "yes", Liu Shi lost the clothes in his hand and took another one and gestured to his body, looked at Li Xin and asked, "What about this one?" ”
Li Xin rubbed her brows helplessly: "Mother, what are you doing...... For a treat? ”
"Nonsense, don't I have to take out all the clothes I pressed under the box just to dangle in front of others?"
Liu glared at Li Xin unhappily and said, "You can help me see which one is better......
"It's all good, it's not all your mother's bottom of the box, the materials must be very good." I just don't know if you can still wear it...... This is the clothes of youth, right?
Liu sighed distressedly and said, "Let's wear plain, I don't think I can wait for the table." It's a little fresher, and I feel a little pretentious......" Liu put down his clothes and sat on the edge of the bed: "I don't know what your aunts and aunts are wearing, if you can't compare to them, I will lose this banquet." ”
"Mother, the reason why I held a banquet with you is to stand out in front of my aunt?" Li Xin laughed and said, "How old are you......"
"No matter how big a person is, he still has a strong heart?" Liu didn't feel ashamed of being seen through by his own daughter: "I've been pressed by your grandma all my life, and I haven't turned over, this time I finally showed it in front of her, I can't lose this opportunity in vain." ”
Li Xin raised her eyebrows and said, "But mother, Ming'er's protagonist is the eldest brother, you and your father always have to lean back, the sister-in-law must dress more festively, mother, you can dress a little plain, others will look at it and say, 'Well, this village chief's mother is decent, and she is not dressed in a conspicuous manner, and she has a temperament when she looks at it.'" ’”
Li Xin's words made Liu laugh, and after laughing twice, Liu said: "Okay, just wear a plain ......."
As he spoke, he compared himself with himself, and said in a slurp: "This is still the clothes that your mother and I made for ourselves when I was a girl, and I didn't wear it a few times before it was left at the bottom of the box." This color is too plain, at that time, your grandma said that plain color caused funeral, and I was not allowed to wear it, forcing me to take it off, and said that plain color is not resistant to dirt......"
Thinking of the past when he was young, Liu was angry in his heart, and poured bitter water with Li Xin: "Why did you say that your grandma didn't deliberately target me?" Later, your third aunt came to the door, she was so dressed up, she didn't know how to save a little bit of grease and powder, and she was born with a mouth that coaxed your grandma, and asked your grandma to give her a very good plain brocade...... Tsk, it's plain brocade belch! It's not a good breed, but even that one piece of satin is worth a lot of money. It's not bad for her to keep that satin herself, and she thinks I'm wearing plain clothes to cause trouble. ”
Li Xin followed her and said: "That mother can be regarded as raising her eyebrows now, and she doesn't have to be angry with Grandma." ”
"No, I'm not angry with her right now. But as long as she is a good mother-in-law, I am still willing to ask for warmth on weekdays, but I am as eccentric as her, and I can't obey her in my heart if I am filial to her. Liu Shi mentioned that year: "Later, your third aunt made clothes out of that satin and wore them, and she looked good on her body, and your grandmother praised her for being so delicate." I was unhappy, so I asked your grandma, saying that the third brother and sister are wearing why I can't wear them, and the bottom of the clothes is many years old, guess what your grandma said? ”
Liu looked at Li Xin, Li Xin shook his head and said, "How do I know, I'm not close to Grandma." ”
"Your grandmother said, 'Your third brother and sister are delicate, and the girls in the town don't work on weekdays, so it's just right to wear this color. You are busy doing work on weekdays, and if you are not careful, your body will be dirty, and if you are not allowed to wear it, it will save you from washing more clothes? Liu snorted and said, "How nice it is, it still means for my good......"
Li Xin hugged Liu and said, "Okay, mother, I don't want to do so much, my eldest brother has supported you, and you will speak much harder in front of grandma in the future." ”
Liu's eyes were a little red, and he always had some grievances when he remembered the past. wiped his eyes and didn't have tears, Liu said: "Xin'er, you and Awen are the same, fortunately, you don't have a mother-in-law over there to suppress you, and you are more comfortable, but your father-in-law hates it, and it's not easy to deal with." ”
Liu patted Li Xin's shoulder: "Fortunately, you have also separated now, my mother sees that you are also a person who can live, and Awen has a good relationship with you, the most important thing is to have a baby ......"
Liu mentioned this stubble again, and Li Xin could only nod and echo and said, "I know Mother, this matter is ...... I can't rush it. ”
Liu sighed, and stopped talking about what he wanted to say. Li Xin guessed that she probably wanted to say that she had hurt herself, but she was afraid that mentioning her past would make her unhappy.
The mother and daughter sat silently for a while, until Zhang's came to call before they went out together, and when they were talking and laughing, Zhang's said, "Sister, why didn't you say anything when your father-in-law was coming?" ”
Li Xin was stunned for a moment, turned his gaze to the hall, and really saw a person who should not have appeared at this time - Guan Ming.
