As soon as Tong Yao returned to the house, Si Xiaohui ran in and pouted, "Sister-in-law, you bought pants for your second brother, why didn't you buy me one!" I don't even know what pants to wear with this jacket. ”

In fact, Si Xiaohui fell in love with the pants Tong Yao was wearing, the corduroy little black pants on Tong Yao looked beautiful and warm, if only she had one.

Tong Yao didn't think about this, and replied a little absent-mindedly: "I don't know how big your waist is, so I didn't buy it." ”

Si Xiaohui hurriedly said: "I wear a two-foot-eight waist, sister-in-law, you will buy me pants according to this waist in the future." ”

Tong Yao nodded perfunctorily 'um', after Si Xiaohui finished talking about the clothes, he didn't rush out, sat on the edge of the bed and said with a regretful face: "If only Uncle was also at home, our family would be even more lively." ”

Brother-in-law?

Si Xiaohui's words caught Tong Yao's attention, "Which uncle, why haven't I heard you mention it?" ”

"Of course Uncle is Dad's younger brother, our uncle!" Speaking of this, Si Xiaohui's tone carried a little emotion, "After my father died, my uncle followed the circus that came here to perform, and it has been many years, and he has never come back, and I don't know where he is now, whether he is doing well or not, my uncle used to love me." ”

If the uncle was still there, their previous life would not have been so miserable.

It's a pity that Uncle never came back after he went out, and he didn't know if he was still in the world, as long as he thought that Uncle might die in a foreign country, Si Xiaohui felt sad.

When her father was alive, he was also away all the year round, but her uncle was at home every day, which left a deeper impression on her.

Tong Yao was full of curiosity, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why did Uncle go with the circus back then?" She always felt that things didn't seem to be so simple, Si Chen also had an uncle, but no one had ever mentioned it in front of her.

Could it be that my father-in-law's death is related to my uncle?

Speaking of these things, Si Xiaohui remembered that these were all caused by his father saving Tong Yaohui, his face was not very good-looking, and he said angrily: "The family is poor, and my uncle wants to go out to make money." ”

After saying that, he snorted and walked out, and his steps were heavy and he wanted to step on a few holes in the ground.

Tong Yao: ......

Si Chen and Wen Yun both said that the Tong family did not owe the Si family, but Si Xiaohui always thought that the tragedy of the Si family was caused by the Tong family, could there be any misunderstanding here?

*

After Si Chen washed the last bowl, he poured out the water casually, and walked out of the kitchen with an indifferent face, he didn't go back to the house, but walked to the door, and happened to meet Si Boyi After coaxing Zhang Lijuan back, the two brothers chatted a few words at the gate.

Seeing that Si Chen's face was wrong, Si Boyi thought that he was angry with Zhang Lijuan, and said in a wooden voice: "Brother, I'm sorry, I just said Lijuan, I explained the reason to her." ”

My sister-in-law was not obliged to buy clothes for Zhang Lijuan, and besides, Zhang Lijuan had already bought the bridal red dress to wear when she got married, and she was not bad at wearing clothes.

You can't be dissatisfied.

Si Chen nodded, "It's good if you can figure it out." ”

Si Boyi said: "Brother, don't worry, I'm not a person who doesn't understand the truth, I see what you and your sister-in-law are like to us, I see it in my eyes and remember it in my heart." ”

Si Chen let out a faint 'um', and then didn't say anything more, looking at the ice and snow on the road, not knowing what he was thinking.

Seeing that his face hadn't improved, Si Boyi couldn't understand his mind a little, and couldn't help asking, "Brother, why don't you seem to be in a very good mood?" ”

"Nothing." Si Chen gathered his thoughts, turned around and walked towards the courtyard, "Let's enter the house!" It's cold outside. ”

Si Boyi was stunned and followed him into the courtyard, and said in the back: "Brother, you go into the house to rest, and I'll boil some water for you to wash." ”

Si Boyi walked into the kitchen and saw Lin Fengying standing in a daze, her face pale, standing still as stunned as if she had been evil, which startled him, "Mom, what's wrong with you?" ”

Lin Fengying came back to her senses, pulling the corners of her mouth and squeezing out a smile that was more ugly than crying, "It's nothing, you want to boil water, right?" If there is no water in the house, you can go to the well and make some water. ”

Seeing that she was really fine, Si Boyi was relieved.

It was still snowing heavily, the ground was snow-white, and the footprints that he had just stepped on would not be covered with snow in a short time, and Si Boyi had just gone out for a while, and a layer of snow fell on his body.

The night is particularly cold at more than 10 degrees below zero, and it will form a layer of ice not long after the water falls to the ground, and the eaves are full of Xiaoice pillars, which looks very beautiful, but no one in the present has the heart to enjoy such a view.

When food and clothing are a problem, everyone has no intention of appreciating the wonders of nature.

Tong Yao was not used to putting the brazier in the house to bake, and always felt that her throat would be very uncomfortable, so after washing, she slept in the quilt and felt warm all over, while Lin Fengying and Si Xiaohui slept in the living room.

Tong Yao showed a small head from the quilt, saw Si Chen sitting on the edge of the bed and washing his feet, and wanted to whisper a few words to him, but thinking that the door was not soundproof, he simply didn't say anything.

There was a lot of snow outside, and it snowed all night, and in the morning, the snow outside was half a person deep, so it was a sunny day, but it was still very cold, and the water in the bucket was frozen into a big ice mound.

Early in the morning, Chef Xu came over to prepare the ingredients for the banquet, the men, women and children in the village also came to help, and the children ran behind the adults to help move the tables, chairs and benches.

Tong Yao couldn't intervene, so he didn't help much, the weather was too cold, Si Xiaohui was afraid of freezing his hands, and he was afraid of getting his new clothes dirty, and he didn't want to work, the two of them gnawed a lot of pig bones in the yard.

I ate one piece and wanted to eat the second piece.

Lin Fengying was busy like a spinning top, worrying about this for a while and worrying about that for a while, but the smile on her mouth never stopped.

The busy day passed quickly, and the next day everyone got up early in the morning, the bride's house was next door, and the two families in the village ran back and forth to see the groom for a while, and the bride for a while, all with smiles on their faces.

Especially Si Boyi, the smile on his face has not stopped since he got up in the morning, and when he wears the clothes bought by Tong Yao, he is in a lot of energy.

According to the wedding custom, the bride should arrive at the groom's house before 12 o'clock at noon, the distance between the two families is close, Chen Jinlan felt that there was no sense of ceremony to take the girl directly to the Si family, and other villages did not know that there were people here to do happy events, so they discussed in advance, let the sedan chair go around the village, and then go back to the Si family.

In this era, there is no car to sit in the countryside for marriage, the better families sit in the sedan chair, the poorer can only take bicycles and cars, and passers-by also rely on what car the bride is sitting in to judge whether the bride is married well or not, and whether the groom's family has money.
