Chapter 47: Forty-Seven Days of Becoming an Old Lady
"Mother......
Jiang was stared at by the old lady and was furious, she couldn't help but make a sound, and she didn't dare to look at the old lady's eyes.
The look of being a thief was completely exposed to the old lady's eyes.
The words that should have been questioned suddenly couldn't be spoken, the old lady was indeed curious about the identity and origin of the Jiang family, but she had not caused any trouble in the Hu family over the years. Everyone has their own secrets, and as long as the secrets belonging to the Jiang family are not involved, she can not ask.
"How many years have you been here?" The old lady sat down on the edge of the table, and it seemed that she had no intention of asking the teacher to ask for guilt.
Jiang put down the embroidery work in his hand and spoke carefully:
"It's been thirteen years since I returned to my mother."
She has been an ordinary village woman in Shanghe Village for thirteen years. She hadn't been exposed for thirteen years, and if it weren't for the old lady's fancy for her embroidery skills, she would have been able to hide it forever.
Jiang's face was worried, and his beautiful face was also dyed timid.
"In the past thirteen years, how has the fourth child treated you?"
A bowl of water was exchanged for a daughter-in-law, Hu Laosi and Jiang had never blushed or quarreled. Don't look at the fact that the two only got a daughter, but Hu Laosi's heart for the Jiang family has not changed from beginning to end.
Jiang is very clear about this.
"The fourth child is very good to me." Jiang Shi half-hung his head, and his flower-like face crossed a touch of shyness.
The old lady opened her eyes, "Remember this sentence, if something happens to him in the future, don't hurt the fourth child." ”
This sentence is not insignificant, she told Jiang Shi clearly that she knew she had a secret, but she didn't ask. The only requirement is that Hu Laosi is well.
Jiang Shi bit his lower lip tightly, and his watery eyes seemed to be about to cry in the next moment.
The thirteen years she had had passed so easily that she almost forgot her situation. The old lady's words touched her greatly, and for a moment...... For a moment, she almost had to confess.
Suddenly, a handkerchief flew in front of him, and Jiang reached out to catch it, even more puzzled:
"Mother?"
This is?
"This veil, and your room of embroidery, carefully put away. People in the countryside don't have knowledge, but people in the city who know goods are everywhere. ”
The old lady didn't have a good attitude, she thought Jiang was a good one, but it turned out to be a time bomb. No one knows what kind of secret she is hiding, and no one knows if this secret will harm the Hu family.
Seeing that Jiang hadn't reacted yet, the old lady reminded in particular:
"I took the handkerchief into the city today and asked, and they said that it was Su embroidery, which was worth one tael of silver."
Su embroidery, one or two silver.
Jiang immediately understood what the old lady was asking aggressively, how could an ordinary village woman learn from the Su family and sell it for such a price?
She has such skills, but she is willing to live in a small mountain village and live a poor life, so it is no wonder that the old lady is suspicious.
"I don't ask you who you really are or where you come from. But if the Hu family is implicated......"
Jiang immediately knelt down, raised his fingers and cursed and swore:
"Mother, I promise that I will not implicate the Hu family or the fourth child. There have been no accidents in these years, and there will be no accidents in the future. I am the daughter-in-law of the Hu family, and the past has nothing to do with me. ”
It's been thirteen years, and even raising children has grown up. She was still worried when she first came to Hu's house for a few years, but now she is completely relieved.
The old lady glanced at her secretly, and when it came to this, Jiang still refused to say her identity. It seems that either Jiang's identity is not important, then it is a shocking event.
Recalling the confession of the ancestors, there was no special introduction to the Jiang family. Even if Jiang was born into an embroidery family, at most he was involved in a crime. As she said, thirteen years have been fine, and there will be nothing in the future.
was thinking about it, and heard Hu Yue'er's voice calling her mother outside.
Why did you come back so soon?
No matter how much I interrogated, I couldn't ask anything, and the old lady urged dissatisfiedly:
"Get up quickly, wipe your tears, and save the children from thinking I've bullied you."
Jiang Shi wiped his tears and cried with joy:
"My mother didn't bully me. I know that my mother is very good to me. ”
Old Lady: "......"
It's a dilemma, it's not to ask, it's not to ask.
Fortunately, Hu Yueer came in and relieved the old lady.
"Mother...... Milk, Sister Yan'er caught a ewe and came back, and brought a lamb. ”
Hu Yueer couldn't wait to share the good news with her mother, and when she saw the old lady, she was still a little restrained, but she still couldn't hide her excitement.
The whole little face was flushed, her eyes were so bright, and she finally had a little innocence and liveliness that a girl of this age should have.
"Where are the ewes and the lambs?"
The old lady was also pleasantly surprised when she heard it, can you still find a ewe with lambs this season? Don't be anyone's sheep.
Hu Yue'er didn't say no, they met on the mountain.
The more the old lady listened, the more confused she became, and when she went out of the room, she saw Hu Yan'er receiving water in the yard, followed by two sheep, one big and one small. There is no rope to tie it, the two sheep are meekly attached to Hu Yan'er's side, and the little lamb is circling around Hu Yan'er, looking extremely active.
Hu Yan'er saw the old lady come out, showed two little tiger teeth, and discussed:
"Mother, I picked up two sheep in the mountains. Ewes have milk, can I make some food with goat's milk? ”
The scar on her forehead has healed a lot these days. No longer red flesh and blood, it began to turn white. When the sun shines, I can't see anything.
A pair of eyes seem to be able to speak, which naturally brings good feelings to people and makes people unconsciously close.
The old lady was almost dazzled, and only after she settled down did she find her voice:
"Picked sheep? How did you pick it up? ”
Hu Yan'er's luck was too good, Hu Laosan went up the mountain all day long and didn't see him pick up any wild things.
Hu Yan'er told the cause and effect, she and Hu Yue'er were going to the field to see the scenery, but they heard the sound of "bleating" not far away, so they followed the sound up the mountain. As a result, I saw two sheep, one big and one small.
She touched the head of the ewe, and when she was about to go down the mountain, the ewe came up with the lamb, and it was as the old lady saw it now.
Old lady: "......" This is okay!
Looking at the meek sheep around Hu Yan'er, the old lady didn't know what to say.
Hu Yan'er was still waiting for her to respond, and the old lady said lovingly:
"This is what you brought back, you have the final say, you can do whatever you want to eat."
Hu Yan'er, who got the promise, happily took the ewe to the kitchen, and she found a basin to receive goat's milk.
Hu Yue'er and Jiang Shi saw this kind of thing for the first time, and watched her milk the goat curiously.
The old lady also stood aside, and she was also curious. But at the same time, she had a very strange feeling in her heart.
From pheasants to wild boars to wild sheep, Hu Yaner's luck is simply against the sky. How does it feel like such good luck...... Like a novel heroine?
The old lady suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and she didn't know what was going on, and her heart was beating "suddenly".
