My live broadcast room communicates ancient and modern

In modern times, gossip is spread through the Internet and phone calls.

In ancient times, if you want to know something, it was under the roots of a big tree in spring and summer, and in winter it was the kang head of someone else's home or beside a well.

Mrs. Xu stood by the well wearing a cotton hood and gloves, waiting for someone to come.

"Aunt Gao, have you seen where my old lady went?"

"Oh, it's the boss who makes the decision! Why do you have time to come here at this hour?"

It's rare for this person to have free time, so Mrs. Gao first inquired and asked:
"Isn't the business in the shop bad today? Tsk, tsk, how can this be fixed?

Yesterday, I heard my fourth boy come back and say that there are only two tables in your house. I got angry and even ran to have a meal.

Doesn’t it seem possible today?These two groups of caravans are no good, they are stingy. "

Mrs. Xu smiled, helped Mrs. Gao put down the bucket and said:

"There are not many people around so I can take a break. Fortunately, I still have two big houses selling dumplings and hot soup noodles, which can also be used to pay for some wages.

And the leader of the caravan that came today is also sick.

You didn't see me when I went to the shop. Before I could say anything, my legs almost fell to the snow.I almost shed tears when I took a sip of hot water. How can I still think about eating and drinking? We don't want to talk about the length of the guests. It's not easy.

I can't wait to finish handing over the goods, and when he recovers from his illness, he will still eat here when he passes by on his way back. "

"Yes, that's the truth."

Mrs. Gao thought:
If you have a stable mentality, there are many ways to make money at home.

Especially your little granddaughter, she is really a big rake for money.

Someone is helping to take away the burden, and it makes a difference in the psychological relief.

However, the chief executive does have a great deal of energy, and now all the men, women, and children in the village recognize this and respect him from the bottom of their hearts.

After all, who can dislike having too much money?But sometimes people just don't care, and will give out mutton soup to everyone for free, and do countless little things to help everyone.

"Have you met my mother-in-law?"

"Oh, look at my brain, I didn't see her. But I heard Sanmengzi's daughter-in-law Guiying said that she saw that girl from your eldest brother's house this morning. What was her name? She even had room and board at your house. That's more than half a month later."

"Zhaodi."

"Yes, she came here this morning."

Mrs. Xu knew that if she came and squatted by the well, she would be able to find out something useful, which was much more efficient than knocking on doors and chatting with her.

I was wondering again, could it be that something happened to the old house that made the old lady come back there without saying hello?
Mrs. Xu returned home.

Xu Laoer was in the yard, moving the wood used for the water-drop clock to the car. Hearing that the old lady might have returned to her old house, she frowned and said, "Mom, I'll pick it up, otherwise there's no way around it in the dark." Che, how will my grandma come back?"

Mrs. Xu glanced at her second son: I can't even spend the night there with your breasts on, right?
Yu Qinniang came close to Mrs. Xu and whispered: "Mom, I checked, and grandma didn't even take a bean bag. It's just that there are a few pieces of calligraphy paper missing in my room."

Yu Qinniang was confused: Did you use it to start a fire?
Mrs. Xu hurriedly pulled her daughter-in-law away: "If your man hears you guarding his breasts like a thief, he will definitely not be happy with you. Please keep your voice down."

Alas, this thing about blood is strange. You can eat a hundred beans without feeling fishy.

The old lady became a little warm to the three of them, and the three boys forgot about being forced to pay their debts.

Silly daughter-in-law still thinks it was that time.

Mrs. Xu had a sixth sense that something had happened, so she thought for a moment: "I happen to be free today, so I'll pick up the car and I'll follow."

Xu Tianxin still had half a warm bean bag in his mouth. When he heard that he was going to the old house, he quickly put on his clothes and shouted: "Milk, wait for me, I want to go too."

"No, it's cold. You've just finished your work at the pharmacy. Take a break. Why don't you know how tired the kid is? He hasn't finished his meal yet. Those people in the old house don't have much to see."

Xu Tianxin ended the topic with a whisper: "My family is going."

Mrs. Xu: "...Then bring a few more bean bags, fill them with hot sugar water, and wear them thicker."

At the same time, the old lady in Xujiazhuang is well versed in the art of gossip at the well.

She had already come out of Big Mouth Fifth Sister's house and was pretending to pass by the well.

"Hey, why are you back?"

"Fourth sister-in-law, I dreamed about the fifth sister at dawn, and I wanted to go back to the village to see you old sisters. I just came out of her house."

"What did you dream about her? Did you not?"

"..."

The old lady was dragged home by her fourth sister-in-law again, saying that she had been away for several months and that she must go home to have a good chat.

The old lady thought to herself: Look, she was dragged away while hanging by the well, so that she wouldn't look too deliberate.Otherwise, he would open the door of someone else's house, go inside and sit on the kang, and then praise the side of the Erdao River, as if it was intentional.

"Fourth sister-in-law, who did you listen to that said that I would go there if I think the life is good there?"

The old lady choked with sobs and said:
"When I talk to a candle, I'll be struck by lightning if I say anything.

To tell you the truth, I went to Erdaohe because I was ill.

Wangdi was taken back to her parents' home by my eldest daughter-in-law, who told her to go to her grandma's house to serve her aunt.

But my own grandmother was sick, but the family only left me a small child, the little food outside, and only enough to eat for a few days.

But after a few days, they still haven't come back.

Now that I've said it, I don't mind complaining.

I was sick and hungry, so I looked at the lock on the cupboard that my old man had made with his own hands.

I just remembered that when the family was separated, my fourth sister-in-law, my second daughter-in-law, really asked me for that cabinet. She said that the tables and chairs in the main room were given to my eldest brother’s family. She was curious if this cabinet could be given to their family.I didn’t give it to you, I asked you why you are so good at picking out rare things..."

Speaking of this, the old lady was even more emotional than at the fifth sister's place, because the fourth brother of this family and her old man had a good relationship before his death:
"I think this is retribution. My fourth brother and my sister-in-law, I gave my eldest son a cupboard. The cupboard was locked and I was starving. I was not willing to split the cupboard open.

My husband told me this when he was about to leave, saying that there were many young men in Erdaohe, and it was a heavy burden to marry a wife, so please help me more.

But after the death of my youngest son, I forgot about these words. I was always afraid of remarrying, and my heart was not in the right place.

Not only did you not help that side, but you don’t know how difficult it was for my second daughter-in-law to get started in the shop business.

She borrowed everything. She supported several children, and outsiders could lend them money, but I went there to force her to pay back the money.

Later, I also learned from that village that in order to make life easier for the family, my grandchildren paid me two taels of silver and almost had an accident when they went out to carry logs. They were so tired that they even vomited black blood.Others have gone home long ago after finishing their work, and the three of them are the last wave..."

The old lady burst into tears.

The old man and old lady of the family sighed when they heard this.

The fourth sister-in-law handed over the veil and advised:

"This boss is so unsightly. If you don't tell us, we won't even know.

Alas, fortunately, it’s all over, so don’t keep thinking about those things in the past.

When your second daughter-in-law was young, she had big eyes and fair skin, so she would inevitably think too much and be afraid that she wouldn't be able to keep it.If you can't hold on, if you take the children and remarry, you still have to count on this side, and it's not intentionally crooked. "

The old man was smoking a dry cigarette and also advised: "Be filial to your child, and if you don't give anything, the other side will accept you. If you are unfilial, it will be useless to squeeze the dregs out of your bones. Isn't that side good to you?" The old lady wiped it hard. She shed tears and became energetic:

"That's very good, that's excellent.

Didn’t I go there sick?When I got there, I was given some medicine and medication.I threw away the little medicine I brought with me. I didn't know what to drink if it didn't work, so I bought a new one to eat.

And so far, I only help to clean up the house at home, and at most I do sewing and cooking, so I don’t get cold at all.How can you act like a cow or a horse like what others say?

On the other hand, the children at home sometimes make me cry when I look at them, but their feet are often as cold as steamed buns. They go out to dig ice to fish and deliver goods in the cold weather.

Just like that, she often asked me, this old lady, if she needed anything and could she bring it back to me when she went out.

And over the years, the materials I bought at the beginning were so tattered that I could no longer use them. As things got better gradually, I added little by little, including the lining and outer clothes of the kang quilt, no matter what I added. Every time I added something, I would not be left behind.

Look at me wearing these clothes!

Even my little great-granddaughter, who is very close to me, said that she is too naughty and works hard to earn money just to feed and clothe our family. Don’t think about not having to wear or eat when you are older, don’t be reluctant..."

Hearing this, the old couple sighed: "No wonder that little girl can meet a noble man. She is blessed and virtuous in her life. When she is older, this child will not do anything wrong in the future."

However, any previous sympathy for the old lady was gone.

The fourth sister-in-law thought jealously: Bai followed her and wiped her tears.

After hearing this, the children of this family wanted to see off the guests even more.

Half an hour later, the old lady and the fourth brother and the fourth sister-in-law were pushing the jelly fruit. Even though they were almost seventy, their voices were extremely loud and loud:
"I have to accept it. It's for the children. I didn't bring anything valuable. I'll come back when I have time next time. I really haven't talked enough, brother and sister-in-law. I'll bring bean buns next time. You said my second daughter-in-law owns a shop. If she can make money, she can even make sweet bean noodles, and I’ll let you try it later.”

The neighbor next door heard that she was bringing gifts. Before the old lady could get far, she was dragged to the kang by another family.

Gu Sufen paid attention to Erdaohe and found some wives in Xujiazhuang who she thought she had a good relationship with.

The old ladies picked these houses, they were the most powerful old ladies in spreading gossip in this village.

If the old lady lied for fame and face to deceive others, the old lady didn’t care what the reason was. She thought she would definitely help her eldest son’s family to cover up the lies.

But this is to drag her grandchildren, daughter-in-law, and great-granddaughter from another family.

Her poor son was already gone, and her daughter-in-law managed to pull up this big family. No matter who dares to step on these children in the future, this will not work.

And what she said was the truth, and she wanted to fight against the fraud herself.

The family heard the old lady sitting cross-legged on the kang, touching her socks-wearing feet, and saying with a smile:
"In the afternoon, someone else brought the food and put it in the car and delivered it to the shop together.

I stood at the gate waiting for the bus to come back.

Because if the shop cooks something delicious, my second daughter-in-law will ask the car to bring it back so that I don’t have to cook the next night. She is always afraid that I will deal with it at home. "

The other party immediately clicked his tongue when he heard it, saying he couldn't stand it any more. What kind of magical day is this? I'm envious.

"Have you seen the bread-winner's daughter-in-law? That grandson's daughter-in-law is really the right wife. She brought me foot-washing water since I arrived. The shop was busy until midnight, and when she came back she was so cold that she insisted on asking if she could wash my feet. It was like It’s like she has taken care of this job.”

Originally the old lady was reluctant to talk about the medicine on her butt, but she thought of those words about Tian Xin.

The old lady suddenly approached the other party's ear and said: "As for my little great-granddaughter, you can't imagine how filial my children are. When I first went there, I was hunched over and couldn't go to the toilet for several days. Then I My little great-granddaughter gave me medicine for ten days in a row. At our age, we sometimes despise ourselves. She followed me to my house every day and climbed on the kang to coax her. She was so naughty, and even gave me stew to drink in the morning... "

Gu Sufen, didn’t you say outside that Bai Xiucai was bringing foot-washing water to the juniors?He said that Tian Xin, a girl, got excited when people watched her movie.

Then she would rather give up her old face and let these old sisters know how good her sweetness is.

-

At around seven o'clock in the evening, modern time, the old lady had been busy visiting several houses all afternoon. She was hungry and finally opened the door to her eldest son's house.

Boss Xu was not at home. He was helping others kill pigs and was asked to eat the butchered vegetables.

Xu Youshu was at home, discussing with his mother the 40 taels of betrothal silver.

Gu Sufen said that in the past few years, a lot of people died in the battlefield. Nowadays, older girls are not worth much, and the rich family needs a lot. No wonder your father almost gave up.

Xu Youshu was trying to persuade his mother to give her as much as she could, and she would bring it with her when she gets married.For a girl from such a family, if she speaks more, it's not for money, but to see if our family is sincere.

"Jin Ling's father and mother, did you say that you should lead Beiyin out of the house?"

"said."

The door opened with a bang. Wangdi was a little anxious outside the door, and her grandmother was very angry.

Because Zhaodi didn't collect enough firewood today, her arms and hands were whipped several times.

When she saw her grandmother coming, Zhaodi had two red marks on the back of her hand. She was carefully folding the pieces of paper Tian Xin had written on and putting them into her arms. Then she sat against the kitchen wall and closed her eyes.

Gu Sufen was a little surprised: "Mom, why are you back..."

Before she finished speaking, the old lady walked straight towards her and gave her a loud slap.

After the beating, the old lady staggered.

Xu Youshu hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "Grandma, what are you doing this for?"

"Why? I want to ask you!
Is it possible that Youshu went to his second aunt's house and saw that Tian Xin and Youcang were enough to kiss him? You, a dirty-hearted woman, did it on purpose just because of your son's proposed marriage? Go outside and ruin the reputation of the Erdao River side.

In this way, when the family hears it, it will appear that you are benevolent and righteous, but that you are too profit-seeking and have the ability to be unbenevolent and righteous. "

The old lady slapped Xu Youshu twice again, who was blocking her:

"Evil! You saw Youcang being whipped by the government with your own eyes? He was supposed to be your closest cousin. Before outsiders could throw dirty water, you started to spit on others. What do you two want to imply? Erdaohe That side made its fortune by stealing!"

Xu Youshu was beaten so hard that he rubbed his arms.

The old lady jumped up and started to scratch Gu Sufen again:

"You don't know how you got rich, are you blind?
Who came to ask for the bill from me in the first place? Can't you see the grain in that yard?
In order to live a good life, the family went up the mountain to bulldoze earth without eating a bite. Youcang and Youyin were injured, and there were piles of adobes under the walls.

How old Tian Xin was, he lived in a nunnery with her nanny in a cave and went to Fucheng to sell goods. That was a lucky thing. It rained heavily and there were landslides, but nothing happened.

You see, that person is living a good life right now, and jealousy is causing evil, so why don’t you look at how much suffering others have suffered. "

The old lady grabbed Gu Sufen's hair and refused to let go. She kicked Xu Youshu who was trying to stop her:

"Didn't you tell others that you were incompetent? I asked you to stand, but you didn't dare to sit down. Get over here, I'm going to kill you, the house-wrecker, before I divorce you!
You still dare to ruin the reputation of my little great-granddaughter, saying that without a father and a mother, you are not the same as a person who has a father and a mother, so you are farting from your parents!
How old is she? She is 13 years old. She is not even [-] after the New Year. You are particular about this.If she has a bad reputation and is not good enough to marry, what good will it do to you?

You do have a father and a mother who taught you such a filthy person, so you should follow your father or your mother.

Besides, who is the father that Tian Xin doesn’t have?That's Arita. He died on the battlefield without even a place to burn paper. My most promising grandson! "

The old lady suddenly burst into tears.

Xu Youshu was a little frightened and kept touching the old lady's heart.

Boss Xu entered the house at this time.

"Mom, come back as soon as you come back. What are you doing? How could we do that? Who on earth told you these words? I have to come to question them for tearing up their house and allowing them to splash dirty water!"

"It's me." Xu Zhaodi stood at the door of the house and said calmly. (End of chapter)
