Chapter 52: Changes in the Old Mansion
And because I have been staying in the store to make snacks, I haven't gone outside much, and the tanned skin before has been covered back, and because my body has improved a lot, my complexion is also a lot ruddy, at first glance, I am more than five years younger than before, and those villagers ridiculed Yan Jianguo must be jealous.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case, and urged Yan Jianguo to hurry up and go to the old mansion.
The two of them were dumbfounded when they first arrived at the old house, if it weren't for the neighbors, they would not have dared to recognize it, the courtyard that had been fenced off before was divided into two, and a brick wall was built in the middle, and it was repaired all the way to the inside of the hall, and the hall was divided into two halves.
The half of the house they lived in before was given to the second room, and the second room was completely enclosed, so a small door was opened, and the high courtyard wall blocked the sight of Lin Liqing and the two of them, and they couldn't see what was going on inside the courtyard wall at all.
In addition, the half of the four rooms is the same as before, the fence courtyard wall and the fence door, nothing has changed.
It's Chinese New Year's Eve afternoon, the fourth room is still quiet, there is no movement, the two of them go to the second room together, even if there is a yard and a gate in the countryside, it is generally hidden during the day.
The two pushed open the door and took a look inside, and what they saw was a red wall, which was the utility room that was demolished by Lin Guoan and them before, and it looked much better after being rebuilt.
Yan Jianguo shouted, "Second brother, second sister-in-law." ”
"Huh!" Zhou Xiao'e's voice came from the other side of the red wall, and the two looked over, just opposite Zhou Xiao'e who appeared around the corner.
"You guys come here, sit in the house, I'll clean up the chicken feathers here, and it will be all right soon." Zhou Xiao'e wiped her hands, smiled brightly, and led them to the side close to the fourth room.
The passage is quite spacious, even the tricycle is passable, there are some firewood piled up in the corner, bypassing the red wall, Lin Liqing found that the courtyard divided into two actually built an extra house, one end against the hall house, one end against the house where the second room originally lived, and one end against the courtyard wall, in fact, it didn't cost much.
Zhou Xiao'e looked at Lin Liqing's shocked appearance, and explained embarrassedly: "Originally, we had one room, and there were only two rooms in your house, and the rest was half of the hall and the utility room.
Fangfang and Yuanyuan are also older, even if they can't let the two sisters live in one room, they have to give them a room, I discussed it with the child's father, and simply gritted my teeth to get an extra wall, and then borrowed wood from others to build a roof, and reluctantly built an extra house, which is just right for the hall.
After the house was divided, there was not enough land, and it was okay to live alone, so I gave Yuanyuan as a room, and the house you lived in was fragrant and slept, and we still lived in the original room. ”
Lin Liqing nodded again and again when she heard this, "This arrangement is quite reasonable, it is not a waste of land, and there is one more house, so there is no need to build it in the future." ”
"Not really! That's what my father and I mean, now we grit our teeth, tighten our belts and build the house, and then we will work hard, and the money we earn will be used as a dowry for them, and the house will not be tossed. Zhou Xiao'e smiled when she talked about this house.
Who would have thought that ten days ago she was still worried about their life after the separation, only ten days later, they not only repaired the courtyard wall but also built the house, not only the two of them were happy, the children were also jumping with joy, and the laughter of the family has not been interrupted since years ago.
Yan Jianguo put down his things and asked, "Where is my second brother?" ”
"Oh! He went to buy something, and now that the family is separated, we discussed it with the eldest brother and sister-in-law, and simply went their separate ways, what is the difference between mixing together and not separating, the most important thing is that the eldest brother and sister-in-law are not willing to support the elderly for another four or two, and my parents will definitely disagree.
Since this morning, our dad has been sulking, seeing that no one has given a good face, I didn't give me a good look in the past New Year's gift, just because the family is busy, I said a few words to my sister-in-law and came back. Zhou Xiao'e explained.
Lin Liqing immediately asked curiously, "What about the mother-in-law?" She's not just sulking. ”
Zhou Xiao'e sneered, glanced at Yan Jianguo, and said: "Who doesn't know the old lady's temperament, but she didn't get into a fight with her eldest brother and sister-in-law before, but she fell and broke her foot, and she hasn't been able to do it well!"
And because she has been jumping up and down, she has to make trouble with the fourth, and the eldest brother is not used to it, so he directly separates the old two, and now the old lady follows the fourth room, and the fourth child is either playing cards or going out to drink with the group of fox friends and dog friends on weekdays, and Li Meihua is not a diligent person.
I can't take care of myself and the child, how can I take care of the old lady, it's been a few days, the old lady still has the strength to make trouble in the first few days, shouting in the room, I may be tired of scolding in the past two days, plus I don't have much energy to eat well, and I have stopped a lot. ”
Yan Jianguo didn't feel good when he heard it, and pursed his lips and asked, "The fourth brother is so disagreeable, the eldest brother and the second brother don't care?" ”
"How could it be that it didn't matter!" Zhou Xiao'e breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "The eldest brother did it all over there, but the fourth child promised well in person, and when he turned around, he didn't know where to go crazy, and the sister-in-law also went to find Li Meihua, but was sneered and scolded by Li Meihua."
You say that the eldest brother and sister-in-law are like this, what can I do with your second brother? In the past, we estimated that people could not even return their mouths by pointing at their noses and scolding.
I can't look past it, and I don't want to go into the courtyard of the fourth room, so I discussed it with my sister-in-law, and we took turns to send a meal to the old lady for a day, and Fangfang on my side sent it, and my sister-in-law usually let Mingqiang go.
The old lady's attitude towards her grandson is much stronger than that towards her granddaughter. ”
Lin Liqing and his wife listened well and were speechless for a while.
At this time, Yan Jianguo silently turned out the New Year's gift to his parents, and said to Lin Liqing: "I'll go over and walk, don't go anywhere on the second sister-in-law's side, I don't want you to be affected by them for the New Year." ”
Lin Liqing heard a warm heart, nodded obediently, and looked at Yan Jianguo.
Zhou Xiao'e said enviously: "It's still the third uncle who will feel sorry for people, and he won't think so much about the wood in my house, but he will only say that it is natural for a daughter-in-law to be filial to her in-laws, hum!" I don't have an opinion on honoring my in-laws, but people don't appreciate it, and I can't end up working hard, and I don't know what this picture is....."
Zhou Xiao'e seemed to have opened the conversation, and she couldn't wait to confide in Lin Liqing about all the grievances she had suffered over the years.
Lin Liqing listened silently until Yan Jiandang came back with a pair of daughters.
Yan Fangfang and Yan Yuanyuan hadn't seen Lin Liqing for a long time, and when they first met, the two children thought that there was a new guest at home, and when they heard Lin Liqing call them, the two children called someone obediently.
Xu is Lin Liqing has changed too much, and the two children are embarrassed to look at her, so they have been secretly looking.
Lin Liqing was amused in her heart, took out two red envelopes directly from her bag and gave them them, and gave them a bag of candy she brought over.
The two children's eyes lit up when they saw the candy, and they were visibly happy.
