On the afternoon of the tenth day of the first month, it rained lightly.

The third lady hid in the room and leisurely roasted the fire.

Aiju walked over to the table and held the teapot with both hands.

She poured a cup of tea, came to the third lady, and called: Sister, give.

The third lady took the tea and drank it slowly.

Aiju shouted: Sister be careful, be careful of hot mouth with tea.

The third lady raised her head and shouted, "Sister Aiju, you drink too."

Aiju responded: I'm not thirsty, I don't want to drink now.

The third lady raised the teacup, took a sip with her mouth, and praised: The tea made by Sister Aiju is getting better and better.

"Sister, I want to ······" Aiju Road:

"Wow!" The third lady retched, and the hand that grabbed the cup trembled, and the tea in the cup was scattered all over the floor.

Aiju ran to the third lady, helped the third lady wipe the tea, and said: Sister, what's wrong with you!

The third lady vomited twice more and replied: I don't know either! I've been retching all the time for the past two days.

Aiju wiped it for a while, went over and took a rag, and continued to wipe it on the third lady.

The third lady called: Sister Aiju, it's okay.

Aiju asked: Sister, are you burning?

Do you want! I'll give you some medicine?

"Don't tight, don't tight, Xiaoya didn't hurt anything!" The third lady replied:

The third lady asked rhetorically: Sister Aiju, what did you want to say to me just now?

Aiju stood up and said in a daze: Just now!

Aiju continued: I just wanted to say that it will be Qingming soon, my dead ghost, who has just passed away three years this year, according to our rural customs, the new grave can only be swept after three years.

So, I thought!

"Sister Aiju, if you encounter any difficulties! You tell your sister that she will do her best. The third lady continued:

Aiju replied: I thank my sister! I'd like to borrow some time from my sister······

"Sister Aiju, you said that you are going to sweep the grave of your brother-in-law! Even if my sister goes to do other things, my sister doesn't need to be so polite with me. The third lady rushed:

Aiju thanked: Thank you sister for your understanding!

The third lady shouted: Sister Aiju, go back quickly!

Aiju responded: Sister, I may delay some time tomorrow.

The third lady said: Sister Aiju, if you can come over tomorrow, you can come, if you can't catch up tomorrow, you can't come.

Aiju praised: Sister, you are so good, you are very affectionate and sexual······

"Sister Aiju, go back quickly, it's getting dark early." The third lady shouted:

Aiju put down the rag and walked straight out the door.

From time to time, Aiju arrived at the door of the house panting.

She stood at the door of the house and shouted: Mound, you open the door.

"Mother, please come in!" Qianqian asked:

Aiju stepped into the house and asked, "Qianqian, where are the mounds and water?"

Qianqian replied: The two brothers are in the room.

Aiju responded: What are they doing in the room!

"I don't know." Qianqian pulled the door open and was about to bolt the door.

Aiju shouted: Qianqian don't bolt the door, I have to go out later.

"Mother, you're back so early today." The water drilled out and shouted:

Aiju asked: Shui Shui, what are your brothers doing inside?

Shui Shui answered: My second brother and I went in and added a piece of clothing.

Qianqian gathered around the brazier and sat on a stool.

"Mother, why are you standing!" The mound came slowly.

Aiju replied: I am going to the market soon.

The mound continued: My mother wants to go to the market, and I want to go too.

"I'll go too." Water rush:

Aiju argued: It's raining all these days, what are you going to do! Especially Shuishui, you have to be helped when you walk, who can take care of you.

Shui Shui pouted and was silent.

Shui Shui slowly walked to the brazier and "sat down".

Mound: You can't go to Shuishui, I can go!

Aiju thought for a while and replied: You can go.

Aiju continued: Shui Shui, you accompany Qianqian's sister-in-law to bake the fire at home, and your brother and I will go back as soon as we go.

The mound said excitedly: Mother, let's go!

He went to the side room and got a hat, and walked out the door triumphantly.

Aiju shouted as she walked: Qianqian, when Pingbo brings the food, you will eat it with Shuishui first, if Pingbo doesn't send the food, you will wait for me to come back - and then do it.

Qianqian said: Mother, you go slowly.

Walking on the way to the market, the mound asked, "Mother, are we going to buy sacrifices?"

Aiju continued: Yes! Tomorrow is the Qingming Festival, and you brothers are also going to see your grandfather and grandfather.

And, your father.

"Mother, didn't you let us go to worship our father?" The mound asked:

"Who said that! Who won't let you worship your father? For the first two years, I didn't let you worship him, it was all a rural custom, but now after a few years, you can go and worship. Aiju replied:

The mound was stunned and said: That's it!

The mound asked: Mother, are we going to Uncle Gu's house?

Aiju answered: Yes.

Aiju said: I will accompany you today, mainly - to familiarize you with the path.

After that, you're going to have to come and buy things yourself.

Mounds continued: Oh!

Aiju muttered: Your brother doesn't have such a good opportunity.

The mound called: Mother, you are thinking about the eldest brother again.

"What do you want!" Aiju continued:

Aiju said: The family was poor before, much poorer than now, when your brother was as old as you, and your father was still alive, even if the family had money, it would not pass through your brother's hands, let alone buy and sell······

As she spoke, Aiju couldn't help but burst into tears.

The mound persuaded: Mother, don't cry.

Aiju wiped the corners of her eyes and choked up: None of your brothers have ever studied, I guess, your brother doesn't know money at the moment.

"Mother, don't be sad, if you don't know money, you won't know money, and I don't know Shuishui." The mound replied:

Aiju shouted: You don't understand, if a person doesn't know money, he will suffer wherever he goes!

"Mother, don't worry! We are young people, and we will learn as soon as we learn. The mound said:

Aiju smiled knowingly, "Silly child." ”

"We're all stupid children." The mound laughed:

"How did I forget it!" Aiju stopped and said in a daze:

The mound said curiously: Mother, what's wrong!

Aiju called: We are going to Brother Gu's house, wouldn't it be rude to go empty-handed like this!

The mound continued: Mother, what do you want!

Aiju walked forward and said, "I originally wanted to bring some peanuts······

"Mother, didn't you tell Aunt Gu about the method of drying peanuts!" The mound interrupted:

Aiju responded: I told her.

The mound said: You told people how to dry peanuts, and they won't dry them themselves!

Aiju replied: What we send is what we send, and what we send is our heart.

Besides, what do I give to people besides peanuts!

The mound called: Then let's go back and get peanuts!

"Don't take it, we have walked so far, and we will arrive at Brother Gu's house in a few steps, we can only be cheeky." Aiju replied:

The mound replied: This is the end of the matter, and it can only be like this.

After a while, Aiju arrived at the door of Gu Quanshi's store and shouted: Brother Gu, business is good!

"Okay, okay, my sister is here, you sit in the back room, sit in the back room." Gu Quanshi replied:

"Uncle Gu is good!" The mound came up and shouted:

Gu Quanshi smiled: The mound is also here.

Aiju put down the hat and shouted: Brother Gu, I will buy a string of firecrackers, a sticker of paper, and five pairs of candles.

Plus, two handfuls of incense.

"Don't panic, don't panic, my sister will go into the house with the mound of dirt to sit in the house, your sister-in-law just happened to be idle in the house, you go in and chat with her." Gu Quanshi says:

The mound took off the hat, put it aside, and said: Aunt Gu will still lack someone to chat with her······

Gu Quanshi continued: Really.

The mound argued: Didn't Uncle Gu say that you have several sons!

Gu Quanshi replied: My son is working outside, how can I have time to chat with her!

Aiju responded: Isn't Xiaomei at home! Children are born to chatter.

Gu Quan said: Xiaomei went to study, and she won't come back until the afternoon.

"Boss, give me two strings of firecrackers."

"Guest officer, you wait."

Gu Quanshi looked at Aiju and said: Sister, you go in first, I still have to do business, so I won't talk to you.

Aiju moved her feet and called: Brother Gu, you are busy, you are busy.

"Aiju, you come in, you come in quickly." Mrs. Gu saw Aiju walk in and shouted:

Aiju replied: Sister-in-law Gu, I'm here to disturb.

Mrs. Gu responded: What are you talking about!

"Aunt Gu is good." The mound followed, and saluted:

Mrs. Gu smiled: The mound is good!

Mrs. Gu continued: You can come, you are really a rare guest, a rare guest.

Aiju stepped into the threshold and replied: Look at what Sister-in-law Gu said! There is no guest among our sisters!

"Yes, yes, yes, it's not a guest, it's all my own family." Mrs. Gu rushed to say:

"Auntie is good, aunt is good." Gu Quanshi's two daughters-in-law said:

Aiju smiled and said: The two nephews and daughters-in-law are welcome!

Mrs. Gu introduced: This is my eldest daughter-in-law-Pingfen, and next to me is my second daughter-in-law-Fanlan.

The mound whispered: Mother, I call them······

Aiju said: You call them "sister-in-law", called - sister-in-law.

"Hello two sisters-in-law!" The mound shouted:

Fan Lan smiled at the mound and called, "Auntie, you and your little brother come and sit here, there is a fire here."

Pingfen wiped the table and asked: Mother, please on the table between you and your aunt and son!

Aiju gathered around the table and slowly sat down.

The mound leaned over and sat down next to Aiju.

"Auntie, what is this little brother called?" Pin-Fen asked:

Aiju patted the mound on the back and replied: He is my second son, and his name is - the mound of earth.

Fan Lan boasted: The mound is full of tiger brains and enough energy.

Aiju responded: What is the spirit! He is just a tendon, and he can't even read a big word.

Fan Lan continued: Didn't he study!

Aiju said: I didn't read it.

Mrs. Gu leaned over to the table and replied: Aiju, you don't have to worry about it, with a family like yours, you can bring up the children, it's a great luck, if it's someone else! No, it doesn't work.

"Sister-in-law Gu, you don't need to comfort me, I don't have any skills! It's a joke to say it! Aiju said:

Mrs. Gu continued: Who will laugh at you! Who dares to laugh at you! You are a heroine and an elite among women.

Aiju rushed to say: Sister-in-law Gu is laughing! Sister-in-law Gu laughed!

"Oops! There was no fire in the brazier, so I went to add fire. Pinfen picked up the brazier and went straight to the back room.

Fan Lan stood up and said, "I'll go over too."

Mrs. Gu shouted: Fanlan, you go and get some dry ingredients.

Fan Lan nodded, and gradually walked forward.

Aiju called: Sister-in-law Gu is too polite, we came over empty-handed······

"What does it mean to be empty-handed! And we rejoiced that your mother and son would come to the door, and you said that you and Quan are sisters, and between sisters you are to go about and not talk about those things that are false. Mrs. Gu argued:

"Mother, the fire is coming, you move your feet." Pinch-Fen exclaimed:

Mrs. Gu moved her feet and shouted: Pingfen, is Sen'er awake!

Pinfen pushed the brazier to the bottom of the table and replied, "I just looked at it, and Sen'er hasn't woken up yet."

Aiju asked: Sister-in-law Gu, who is Sen'er?

Mrs. Gu smiled and said: He is my eldest grandson.

Ai Juhe said: Congratulations to sister-in-law Gu! Congratulations to sister-in-law Gu! You are blessed to have children and grandchildren around your knees at your age.

"Mother, aunt, mound, you sit here, I'll go inside and see Fan Lan." Pinny lifted her foot and shouted:

Mrs. Gu saw Pingfen walk into the back room and sighed: "Hey!

"What children and grandchildren around the knees! My second son's body is weak, and he hasn't moved at all. Mrs. Gu continued:

Aiju apologized: I'm sorry Sister-in-law Gu! I don't know!

"Aunt Gu, you and Uncle Gu are good, I believe that the eldest brother's body will get better." Mound Road:

Mrs. Gu said with relief: The mound is really good at talking.

"Mother, aunt, mound, you take it and eat it." Fan Lan held a large bowl of eggs and shouted:

Pinfen followed closely with a few small bowls.

Mrs. Gu shouted: Aiju, mound, you eat, you are welcome.

"By the way, I didn't have dry ingredients." Fan Lan was stunned and said:

Aiju grabbed Fan Lan and said: Don't talk about dry ingredients, you sit down to eat.

Fan Lan responded: Auntie eats, I sit at home every day - digestion is not very good, I haven't eaten for long, I really can't eat.

Aiju glanced at Fan Lan's belly and said, "You lie to me!"

Fan Lan replied: Why am I lying to you! If you don't believe it, touch it.

Pingfen sat aside and shouted: Auntie eats, I'm also like Fan Lan, I just ate it not long ago!

Fan Lan shouted: "Sister-in-law, let's go into the kitchen and clean up."

Pinny replied, "Let's go."

Aiju called: Since it is cooked, let's eat.

The mound said, "I'll eat an egg."

Mrs. Gu continued: You can eat whatever you want! When you eat, I will be glad.

Aiju shouted: Sister-in-law Gu, you can eat too.

Mrs. Gu took an egg and replied: I'll eat it with you.

"Auntie, the mound of earth, after you finish eating, you will take dry ingredients and eat." Fan Lan came over with dry ingredients.

Aiju turned her head and smiled: Fanlan, you sit down, sit down.

Aiju put down the bowl and said, "It's getting dark outside, and we have to go home······

"I'll serve my aunt another bowl of rice." Fan Lan interrupted:

Aiju blocked the mouth of the bowl with her hand and responded: No, no, I'm full.

The mound put down the bowl and said: Aunt Gu eat slowly!

Pingfen took the dry ingredients and shouted, "Auntie, the mound, you can take some dry ingredients to eat."

The mound stepped forward and reached out for the candy.

Mrs. Gu shouted: You can eat candy, you take two more.

The mound replied: Enough, enough.

Mrs. Gu said: Aiju, you take two peanuts to eat and see how I get sunburned!

Aiju grabbed a peanut, put it aside and "chewed", and boasted: It's delicious.

Mrs. Gu called: I will do what you taught me······

"Mother, let's go home, Shuishui and they are still waiting for you at home." The mound reminded:

"Sister-in-law Gu, two nieces, thank you for your hospitality! If you have time, go to my house and sit down, it's not a coincidence today! Aiju walked and said:

Mrs. Gu continued: What's not a coincidence! You sit again!

Aiju explained: Sister-in-law Gu, they haven't eaten yet, I have to go back and cook for them.

"Aunt Gu, two sisters-in-law, let's go." The mound stepped out of the door and shouted:

Mrs. Gu shouted: Mound······

"Aunt Gu, let's go back." Waving his hand, the mound interrupted:

"Brother Gu, are the sacrifices I want ready?" Aiju asked:

Gu Quanshi twisted his head and replied: "Wow! Right there.

"Uncle Gu, Aunt Gu boiled eggs, you go in and eat an egg." The mound came out and said:

Gu Quan responded: I just eat, I don't want to eat.

Aiju touched her pocket and said, "Brother Gu, how much are these sacrifices in total!"

Gu Quan said truthfully: Sister, what are you talking about stupid things! You come to the eldest brother to buy a few things, and the eldest brother still collects your money, aren't you slapping the eldest brother in the face!

Aiju argued: Brother Gu, you can't say that! You open the door to do business, and there are many difficulties, you don't take your sister's money today, sister later!

Gu Quanshi replied: In the future, I will talk about it later, I will definitely not accept your money today.

Ai Ju said: You have to take the money for these sacrifices, no matter what! You ask for money to buy goods, which you don't produce yourself.

"Sister, don't grind here! If you let others see this, they will think that we are arguing! Gu Quanshi continued:

Aiju replied: Brother Gu can't just take the money.

Gu Quanshi thought for a while and replied: Sister, I won't fight for you anymore, you give me a penny.

Aiju said: These things have at least ······

"Sister, if you talk more, I'm really going to be angry." Gu Quan shouted:

Aiju saw Gu Quanshi glaring twice, so she had to take out a penny and put it on the counter.

Gu Quanshi whispered: Sister, you don't have to fight with me.

"Brother Gu, sister left first, you and sister-in-law ······ Gu" Aiju called:

"Sister, I haven't talked to you yet······" Gu Quanshi rushed to say:

"Next time! I came over today to buy the offerings, but I took a leave of absence, I do! ”

"You said so, I have no reason to keep you, you have a limited time to ask for leave, you take care on the road."

"Brother Gu, take care."

"Uncle Gu, goodbye!" The mound shouted:

Gu Quanshi smiled and said: Tumoi, you know my address, you bring water and water to my house to play!

Mound replied: We'll come and play.

Ai Ju carried the sacrifice and called: Brother Gu, goodbye.

Gu Quanshi advised: The road is full of mud, you should be careful on the road······
