40: Reward
The two elders of the Lin family supported each other and walked on the path home.
Next to him, Lin Lao Er, and Lin Lao San husband and wife.
The atmosphere was somewhat silent.
Lin Laosan's real name is Lin Jiarong, and he has a simple and honest appearance, just looking at it looks like a person who can't have any bad intentions.
"Daddy, do you still have enough food to eat?"
When Liu Cuihua heard this, she lowered her head and pulled down her man's sleeve.
Although Mrs. Lin is old, her eyes are very good, and that small movement has not escaped her eyes.
She lowered her eyes and said lightly, "Yes, you don't have to worry about the two of us." ”
Lin Laosan scratched his head, "If you don't have it, you have to talk to me." ”
"Yes, yes."
Lin Laosan's family lived under the slope of Lin Zu's house, and when they walked to the fork at the intersection, Liu Cuihua said hello to her father-in-law and mother-in-law, and dragged the man in the direction of her house, her eyes flashed with dark resentment, and she whispered in her mouth: "You are full of filial piety, but when did your father and mother treat you as treasures, and the old lady is not partial to the old family, then let the old family be responsible for their birth, old age, sickness and death...... Lin Jiarong, let me tell you, if you dare to send the food to the old man and the old lady for nothing, I will not finish with you! ”
Lin Jiarong frowned, "It's too ugly for you to speak, that's my father and mother who gave birth to me and raised me, so I naturally want to be filial." Besides, my mother is not partial, but the eldest brother is gone, and it is not easy for my sister-in-law to support her family alone, so my mother wants to help one or two. ”
"Huh." Liu Cuihua was disdainful, "I heard Niu Xiaoniu say that my mother not only delivers food to the old family, but also secretly stuffs money, this is the so-called foil one?" Can the helper use it to send money and food? ”
Lin Jiarong didn't want to listen to the calculations between these women's families, and his expression was a little impatient, "Whether my mother sends food or money, it is all taken out of her own pocket, and my mother can't use her own money?" Why are you so wide? Aren't you tired? ”
Liu Cuihua was about to be by the brain circuit of her own man, "In short, my mother just didn't do it right, obviously they are both sons and daughters-in-law, but they can't level the ...... with a bowl of water."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Jiarong didn't bother to listen anymore, and directly shook off that hand and left.
"You! Lin Jiarong is a dog boy, wait for me! ”
Liu Cuihua jumped to her feet in anger and hurriedly caught up.
......
The second elder of the Lin family returned home.
Old man Lin went to fetch a basin of water, and saw his wife sitting there in a daze, her eyes shining, and she seemed to be a little lost.
"Wife, wash your face."
Mrs. Lin came back to her senses, took the handkerchief and wiped it, threw it into the basin, and sighed: "Wife, when will this family be peaceful......
The sound of the water sounded, and Old Man Lin washed his face, "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, we are all old, so don't worry about these things." ”
Old Madam Lin didn't say anything more, but her eyebrows drooped.
After a while, she suddenly remembered what she had said to Gu Xiaoxiao.
After listening to his wife's words, Old Man Lin was silent for a moment, "She has a heart." It's just that there are too many troubles at the moment, so let's wait until the autumn harvest is over. ”
After saying those words in the evening, Mrs. Lin also felt that the time was not right, "I'll go back and find a time to talk to her." ”
......
When I left the ancestral hall, it was already completely dark, and the bright moon hung high in the sky, and the silver light fell on the ground.
Gu Xiaoxiao and the neighbor's two aunts walked on the Tiankan path, the fields were filled with frogs and cicadas, and there were cuckoos in the distant forest.
The atmosphere between the three of them was a little deadly.
Aunt Ma suddenly opened her mouth, and the bitterness in her eyes was about to overflow, "My mother-in-law just asked me to talk about a lot, and she is saying that our family has a thin heir, let me work hard to have a few more." ”
Gu Xiaoxiao was stunned, "Doesn't your family have two daughters and a son?" Isn't that enough? ”
Anyway, she doesn't understand what she wants to do with so many children.
Picture - multiple weeping graves before the dead grave?
Aunt Ma nodded dejectedly, "My mother-in-law said that it is not enough, let me give Niu Niu another brother, so that we can have a good foil for each other in the future." ”
Aunt Liu looked disdainful, "If you want me to say, your mother-in-law has a problem with her braincase, and now that the drought is so serious, what do you eat and wear when you are born?" Shengshengsheng, to put it mildly, she likes to give birth so much, so why doesn't she give birth to more. ”
Aunt Ma glanced at Aunt Liu and sighed faintly, "I really envy you, you don't have to serve your in-laws." ”
Aunt Liu apologized, "My mouth is a doorless, don't take it to heart." ”
Aunt Ma waved her hand, "How could I not know you, you are also fighting for me." ”
The three of them chatted one by one, and the atmosphere was a little more relaxed than before.
A light suddenly lit up not far away.
When I got closer, I saw the people clearly.
It turned out to be Lin Erbao.
He also carried a lantern in his hand.
The aunt of the Ma family said with a smile: "Your child is a sensible person, and I know that I am worried about my mother, and my stinky boy is afraid that he has already fallen asleep." ”
Aunt Liu nodded in agreement, "That kid in my family is the same as your family." ”
The two of them each praised Lin Erbao, and then walked ahead holding hands.
Gu Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Why are you here?" ”
Lin Erbao pretended to be calm, "Sanbao, that guy is worried that it is not safe for you to walk at night, so he forced me to come." ”
On the 'tough' and 'forced', there are pauses and accents.
I'm afraid that Gu Xiaoxiao won't hear it and misunderstand something.
Looking at Lin Erbao's deliberate emphasis, Gu Xiaoxiao laughed in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, she just nodded lightly.
Seeing her react like this, Lin Erbao pursed his thin lips.
For a moment, it was difficult to distinguish the taste in my heart.
Step on the moonlight and return home.
Several people didn't sleep, and they sat around the courtyard waiting for her.
When Lin Sanbao saw her coming back, he ran over and raised a bright smile, "Mother, you're back!" ”
Wang Xiulian hurriedly stood up, "Mother-in-law, you're back, the bath water is hot in the pot, I'll go and prepare it for you now." ”
"Okay, good work."
Now that her mother-in-law is politely talking to her, Wang Xiulian can already accept her thanks calmly, and when she heard this, she only nodded slightly, and went to work in a hurry.
Gu Xiaoxiao stepped forward, touched Lin Sanbao's head, and deliberately laughed and teased him: "I heard that there is a little guy at home, and I was worried that it would be unsafe for me to walk at night, so I specially called the second brother to pick me up...... I don't know which little guy it is, if he is willing to stand up and admit it, I will reward him with a candy~"
"Me!"
Lin Sanbao raised his hand, kept jumping and rushed to say, "I, me, me!" Mother, it's me, it's me, it's me! Look at me, look at me! Mother, me! ”
"Good, good."
Gu Xiaoxiao was a little noisy, and took out an orange candy from her sleeve, which was held in glutinous rice paper, and there was a layer of kraft paper outside.
The sweet candy was put in his mouth, Lin Sanbao covered his cheeks and looked at Gu Xiaoxiao nervously, "Mother, something is wrong." ”
