Lin Xi and Shen Chen's family only went back in the afternoon.

In the end, they didn't buy an ox cart, so Lin Xi thought about going and changed it to a carriage. It was not the kind of carriage that Zhao Dequan was sitting in before, but an ordinary carriage used to pull goods.

Because Lin Xi felt that horses were better to feed than cows, and the children also liked horses more, so Shen Chen, who had an old eye, picked a pony with shiny hair, at least from the appearance, it was very pleasing.

On the way back, both cars were full of things.

Shen Chen drove the ox cart, Lin Xi was familiar with the carriage, the four treasures were very novel to the horses, and they rushed to sit in the carriage with Lin Xi, and finally because they couldn't sit down, Dabao regretfully followed Shen Chen.

Their return to Chenyang Village caused a great sensation again.

In Chenyang Village, in addition to Uncle Li, Lin Xi's family is the second person who can afford it, and the horses they buy are still more expensive than cattle, and it is difficult for the villagers not to pay attention to them.

No matter how jealous the villagers were, after Lin Xi and Shen Chen went home to unload their things, Shen Chen went to return the car.

Lin Xi was busy putting away the things he bought, and the freshness of the four children had not yet passed, so they all surrounded the horse to feed it hay.

Until Shen Chen came back, he looked at the yard that was bigger than before, and after discussing with Lin Xi, he decided to tie the horse to the edge of the shed.

And so the day passed.

The next day, Lin Xi thought about making a batch of braised pork to eat before the end of the year, got up early, and called Shen Chen to help her deal with the meat she bought. They bought a lot of them at one time, all of them were large pieces, and Lin Xi thought that it was too laborious to cut them by himself, so he threw them to Shen Chen, who had a lot of strength.

After a while, the children also got up.

After a simple breakfast, they played nearby. According to Sambo, there have been a few more children of the same age who want to play with them recently, and they are waiting for them to play almost every day.

Lin Xi felt that the four children got along well with their peers, so he didn't stop them, and let them bring some snacks to share with their friends.

After sending the children away, Lin Xi and Shen Chen handled the New Year's goods at home.

Lin Xi has a lot of things he wants to do, and the steps of how to do it are already in his mind. Shen Chen has never had a talent in cooking, and he didn't ask much, just listened to Lin Xi's instructions.

The tacit understanding between the two cooperated and dealt with it quickly.

Lin Xi marinated a jar of meat with the prepared spices, and just when he instructed Shen Chen to move it to the windowsill of the stove room, a voice suddenly sounded at the door.

"Excuse me, is this Lin Xi's house?"

Lin Xi turned around and saw a middle-aged woman looking in from outside.

I don't know what I know.

Lin Xi asked Shen Chen to go first to put the jar and walked over by himself, "I am." Auntie, who are you? What's the matter with me? ”

Lin Xi had actually been standing in the courtyard, and the woman would definitely be able to see her when she looked inside. But the other party didn't look at her, but stared at a complete goose in the courtyard that had not yet had time to deal with, as well as dozens of eggs and three large plates of tofu that Lin Xi used to pickle salted eggs, and looked straight at her.

Lin Xi screamed twice more before she came back to her senses and looked at Lin Xi.

Suddenly, the woman screamed, jumped up and hugged Lin Xi, crying bitterly, "Child! Auntie has finally found you! ”

The woman had a fishy smell on her body that she hadn't bathed for many years, Lin Xi was dizzy from being smoked, and her stomach was turning over and she wanted to vomit and want to break free, but she couldn't break free of this woman's manpower as big as an ox.

It was Shen Chen who heard the movement and walked out quickly, and when he saw this, he came over and dragged the woman away.

Shen Chen frowned and shook off his hand, didn't look at the woman, turned around and asked Lin Xi with his eyes.

Lin Xi was almost out of breath when he was hugged by the woman before, took a few deep breaths, and shook his head at Shen Chen.

Hearing the cry of pain, she turned her head to see that the woman had not stood still, and sat down on the ground.

The other party seemed to be incredible, stared at Shen Chen with wide eyes, and shouted, "You, you!" You're her father-in-law, aren't you? Rude! I'm an elder, how can you do this to me! ”

She climbed up as soon as she could, angrily pointing at Shen Chen and was about to scold, but when she met Shen Chen's cold eyes, she was stunned, shrunk her neck and stepped back, and turned to complain to Lin Xi.

"Lin Xi, you take care of your father-in-law, and you don't know how to respect your elders too much!"

How could Lin Xi help her say Shen Chen, frowned and stepped forward, blocked in front of Shen Chen, and said, "This lady, who are you?" If you have something to say, you have nothing to do and turn around and walk slowly, the door is behind you. ”

The woman was incredulous: "You don't know me? ”

Lin Xi was inexplicable, "Why did I know you?" ”

The woman glared at Lin Xi, but her face became very fast, and she came up crying in an instant, and took Lin Xi's hand and said, "You have no conscience, can't you recognize me as your aunt?!" My sister who has a hard life is working hard to support you, and she is tired to death for this! I am now your only relative, how can you deny me! ”

The woman's voice was sharp, and Lin Xi, who listened to it, had a headache, and couldn't help but shake her off, and said, "You can talk as you speak, and then move your hands and feet, don't blame me for being rude!" ”

"When you grow up, your wings are stiff, aren't they? How did you talk to me? I ......"

The woman refused to give up and was directly interrupted by Lin Xi.

"When I was young, I had my parents, but their old man had long since passed away, and they didn't tell me that I still had relatives before they died. If you were my aunt, where were you when my mother died? Why have you never contacted her? ”

Lin Xi has seen the memory of the original owner, the original owner's father and mother are lonely people, because after their death, the original owner is even more lonely, and the people in the same village have bad thoughts and forcibly occupy the houses and fields left by the original owner's father and mother.

Otherwise, the original owner would not have been desperate and jumped into the river in despair.

The woman was choked by her questioning, and hurriedly said: "You don't know, child, there was a famine everywhere at that time, and I had no choice, so I had to take care of the family before moving to another place to earn a living." In recent years, there has been a shortage of wars, and it is too difficult to contact your mother! But I don't remember your mother all the time, and when I have the opportunity, I will come back to look for my relatives, and I never thought that she had already died, leaving only you as a child. ”

She said sincerely, with tears in her eyes, as if she had worked hard to find Lin Xi and how hard she had worked.

The corners of Lin Xi's mouth twitched, and he said emotionally: "In this way, who is your surname?" Where do you come from? What proof is there that you are my aunt? ”

The woman's eyes widened and she said angrily, "What do you mean by that?" Don't believe me? ”

Lin Xi nodded: "Yes, I don't believe you." ”

When she suddenly came to the door, she believed it strangely.

The woman opened her mouth angrily, but before she could say anything, Lin Xi had already pushed her out impatiently.

"Can't you see that my family is busy? If you want to cheat and go to someone else's house to cheat, don't lie in my house. ”

"My mother has no relatives, and I haven't seen any relatives in the past. You have to say that it is my aunt, and she brought her place of origin and witnesses. If not, roll as far as you want. ”
