Chapter 20: Relatives come to the door

I didn't delay in the town today, and soon returned to the village, and before I got home, I saw a few people standing in front of my door.

Several people were wearing coarse cloth coats, and they looked at the shabby clothes until they were washed to white, and the original color was not clear, but fortunately, there were no patches, and they could still see it.

"You are ······" Wen Xi walked up to him, only to see who the person who came was.

It turned out to be Liu's sister, and she wanted to call her aunt and grandmother.

"Yo, this is Xi'er!" Mrs. Liu looked Wenxi up and down, and saw that she was wearing clothes that were even more shabby than herself, with patches on them, and the back basket behind her was also empty, and the light in her eyes gradually faded: "I'm your aunt, why don't you open the door quickly?" ”

The tone was also a lot colder. Behind her stood two young men, looking at her with disdain in their eyes.

This change was naturally seen by Wen Xi, who seemed to be an autumn breeze again, and looking at the tattered clothes he was wearing, he had a preconceived idea that his family was worse than hers.

When she went to the town today, she was afraid of being targeted by someone with a heart, so as long as she went to deliver herbs, she was wearing her old clothes, and the fabric she just bought yesterday didn't have time to make new clothes.

Wen Xi snorted coldly in her heart, her face was not obvious, she just called her aunt and grandmother in a proper manner.

"Well, it's your uncle and aunt." She gestured to the two young men behind her.

Wenxi called someone, opened the door and walked home.

"Mother, my aunt and grandmother are here!" Wenxi took the lead in pushing the door in and said loudly.

Before noon, Lin Hui was tidying up the house, preparing to get the fabric with her mother-in-law for a while, so that she could cut out the new clothes as soon as possible.

Before the house was cleaned up, I heard the sound of Wenxi.

Auntie?

Liu was the first to react, it turned out to be his own sister!

She straightened her clothes and got up to greet her.

My sister married early, her husband's surname is Zhao, the Zhao family is relatively wealthy, and it is one of the few families in Zhaojia Village.

Wen Kang had an illness many years ago, and the family's silver was used up, so Liu wanted to borrow some money from her sister, but who would have thought that Da Liu would pretend to be sick and not see the guests, so he only ordered the maid to send her two hundred Wen, and sent her away.

Since then, Liu has been heartbroken.

Over the years, there have been very few contacts, and it has been about six years since we last met.

I don't know how my sister is doing now.

Before the Liu family went out, he listened to the voice of the big Liu family in the courtyard.

"Tut-tut, where is this courtyard inhabited? It's not as good as the yard of our family. Da Liu pointed to the dilapidated wooden table in the courtyard and said, "Look, this table is dirty!" ”

Wen Xi walked in front, the corners of his mouth twitched, obviously he came to fight the autumn breeze, and he was picky.

Da Liu's daughter tugged at her sleeve, frowned and shook her head, signaling Da Liu to stop talking, after all, this is someone else's family, and now the family is in trouble, and they have to count on this only relative to help, if they annoy others, they will really be homeless.

"Sister, why are you here?" Liu's attitude is a little cold, she has always kept in mind the previous things, she begged her so much back then, but she refused to save her son, how could she not have resentment in her heart?

"Yo, I haven't seen you for so many years, why is my sister still alive." Da Liu walked up to her, warmly took Liu's hand, piled up wrinkles on his face, and said with a smile: "Sister brought your nephew and niece to come and see you." ”

The two young men greeted each other in turn.

Liu just nodded and invited a few people into the house.

Wen Xi looked at it from behind, and always felt that something was strange.

It stands to reason that the eldest Liu family got married earlier than his grandmother, and he should have had children earlier, but the two aunts and uncles who came are obviously much younger than their fathers.

Lin Hui was busy in the kitchen, and Liu accompanied a few people to chat in the room.

Lin Hui took out the meat that Wenxi bought yesterday and prepared to make braised pork and a few more green vegetables.

Wenxi helped in the stove.

"Mother, aunt of my aunt's family, have you seen it before?"

"No, I've seen your uncle, I don't know why I didn't come with me this time." Lin Hui cut the meat and prepared to blanch, when a graceful figure walked in and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I'll help!" ”

The person who came was Zhao Xiaofang.

"No, no, I'm used to these guys, you haven't married yet, you don't have to do this." Lin Hui hurriedly said: "There is a lot of smoke in the stove, you go out quickly." ”

Zhao Xiaofang went out with a few polite words, and Lin Hui said while working: "The Zhao family is a famous rich man in their village, so don't come to our house to work for such a girl, otherwise it will be said that our family will not be hospitable." ”

Wenxi didn't know much about the situation of the Zhao family, but now that she heard Lin Hui say this, she understood that something must have happened to the Zhao family, and her aunt and grandmother brought them to take refuge.

It seems that it is not just as simple as fighting the autumn breeze, but also preparing to live here permanently.

It's hard to send God now!

Wenxi brought the warm water over, and listened to Da Liu's comparison there about how magnificent the house she lived in before and how many maids and wives were called.

Liu just listened, with a faint expression, and occasionally responded with a few words.

Seeing Wenxi coming over with water, he hurriedly beckoned her to pour herself a glass.

After talking for a long time, her mouth was already dry.

"Hey, I didn't say you, it's Qingshui, you don't even have a tea powder." Da Liu Gu Dong Gu Dong a bowl of water belly, felt that it was not enjoyable, and poured another glass.

Tea is a rare thing here, one or two ordinary tea leaves cost a few dollars of silver, and good tea is even more expensive.

How could a family like the Wen family, who was poor in the village, buy tea to entertain guests?

Not even the Chief's house.

"People like us can't compare to the Zhao family, so naturally they don't have expensive things like tea." Liu picked up the bowl and took a sip and said, "We countrymen don't have so many rich people. ”

Wen Xi saw her grandmother like this for the first time, since the crossing, the Liu family has always been kind to her and Wen Tao, and has never seen a needle in the mouth like today, and the object is still her own sister.

Da Liu is also aware of his sister-in-law's attitude, and he can't have a seizure if he wants to, after all, he will have to rely on the Wen family in the future.

For a while, Qi's neck turned red.

At this time, Zhao Hu opened the door curtain and walked in.

Wen Xi looked at this uncle for the first time.

He has a pale complexion, a thin body, a faint dark blue under his eyes, and his appearance does not inherit the mean appearance of the big Liu family, but his eyes are floating around, and he is not a peaceful lord at first glance.

didn't listen to their chatter, Wenxi took Wen Tao to play in the yard.

At this time, Wen Danian and Wen Kang came back from outside with hoes.

Wen Tao's eyes lit up, and he rushed towards Wen Kang with his little short legs.

Didn't pay attention to the figure coming from the side.

"Oops!" Zhao Xiaofang was knocked to the ground by Wen Tao.
