Rebirth of the pastoral landlady

Chapter 99

Chapter [-] Back to Old Liang's House

The 22th of the twelfth lunar month.

Liang Yuzhong and Jinxi drove to the town, and sent popcorn candies, peanut candies, and a dozen catties of fried tofu to Sun Ji for sale. After lunch, they took Qin Ya and went back to Sun's house ditch.

"Xi'er, that uncle of yours hasn't been to our grandson since he came back here last time, and his nose was covered with ashes by Uncle Yu Zhong!" Qin Ya said to Jin Xi in the carriage.

"That's right, my dad is really angry, he can't stand it!" Jin Xi said so, feeling a little unsure in her heart, is Liang Yuju really determined to settle down?This is really not his style!

"Xi'er, when are you going back to Jinji Mountain?" Qin Ya asked again.

"Father and mother made up their minds and said that they will go back on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month."

"Ah, isn't that the day after tomorrow?" Qinya said reluctantly.

"Yes, it's the day after tomorrow." Jin Xi pursed her lips and smiled, she really didn't want to go back to Lao Liang's house for the New Year!

"Then when will you come over for Chinese New Year? Sister Yuxia will get married on the sixth day of the lunar new year, so it must be before then?"

"That's for sure!"

"Hehe, that's fine!"

The carriage slowly stopped at the intersection of the village, Qinya picked up her things and jumped out of the carriage, greeted Jin Xi and Liang Yuzhong who was driving the carriage, and returned to Aunt Chunhua's house.Liang Yuzhong continued to drive, and soon entered Sun Yuxia's yard.

"Hey, you came back early this trip!" After entering the yard, I heard Gapo's inquiry.

"There was no delay on the way!" Jin Xi said with a smile.

At this time, the sun had not completely set, and clothes, bed sheets, and quilt covers were drying on a long row of wooden racks in the yard. The yard is full.

The low walls on three sides were also covered with cotton wadding. Ga Po and Jin Rou were collecting shoes in the corner, and Mrs. Sun was holding a feather duster and dusting off the cotton wadding, preparing to take it home.

"Xi'erniang, put those there, and I'll pack them when I put the car away!" Liang Yuzhong shouted to Sun.

"Hey, then I'll collect the clothes and sheets first!" Mrs. Sun also simply turned around to collect the clothes.

"Mother, you guys are really busy at home today, have you cleaned everything out and washed it?" Jin Xi said as she walked over to help Sun's clothes.

"The Chinese New Year will be in seven or eight days. Taking advantage of the good weather during these few days of the year, I washed and dried all the clothes at home, so that I can have a clean year!" Sun said.

"Then what about my aunt? Why is she not seen?" Jin Xi just came back, thinking she was busy in the house or the kitchen, and she hadn't seen Sun Yuxia come out yet, so she asked.

"Sister, my aunt went to Da Gagong to wash the sheets and cover the tent!" Jin Rou, who was collecting shoes over there, replied Jin Xi crisply.

"oh, I see?"

"Well, your mother-in-law left early, there is no woman in the family, and many things are not well-planned. In the past, your aunt did the laundry before the New Year. It's nothing!" Sun said.

"Hehe, when my aunt marries Uncle Dahu on the sixth day of the first lunar month, Duke Daga's family will have an extra woman in charge!" Jin Xi said with a smile.

Mrs. Sun also nodded, suddenly thought of something, and told Jinxi: "You can still call me Uncle Dahu now, but when your aunt gets married on the sixth day of the first lunar month, you have to change your name and call her uncle! This matter, mother and your sister are gentle. My son also told me, don't get confused when the time comes!"

Sun Shi said, while talking, he was already quickly carrying a large pile of clothes and walking into the main room, Jin Xi also carried some clothes and followed into the house, came to the room where Sun Yuxia and Jin Xi and the others slept, and piled up the clothes On the bed, Sun sat on the edge of the bed and folded the clothes one by one, and Jin Xi sat on the small stool beside her to watch her fold the clothes.

"Hehe, mother, don't worry, there will be no confusion. However, mother, I have a question that has been in my heart for a long time, and I don't know how to open it."

Mrs. Sun glanced at her daughter, couldn't help but smiled, and said: "You silly girl, you still make so many detours when talking to your mother, why? Ask?"

Jinxi raised her forehead: "Well, you all asked me to call Uncle Erhu's father Dagagong, and said that my aunt married Uncle Dahu, and our two families will get married, so the relationship between Dagagong and my Qingagong , what kind of pro-French? Co-father? Or co-grandfather?"

Sun folded her clothes without slowing down, and said in her mouth, "You want to ask if your Aunt Yuxia and Uncle Dahu are related by blood, right?"

From the perspective of eugenics and eugenics, Jinxi does not support the marriage of people who are too close.

However, she is in this era, and it is quite normal for cousins ​​and cousins ​​to marry each other. How should I say this, it is a characteristic of the great era.Jin Xi thinks that she doesn't have that kind of courage and ambition, like other colleagues who travel through time, to change the big era and go against the sky. She is just an ordinary peasant girl, and her goal is not big. And wisdom, let yourself and your loved ones around you live a rich and good life.

"Uh, that's what it means. Then do our two families have it or not?" Jin Xi asked, if there was, then she would not dare to have too many expectations in terms of IQ for the cousins ​​and cousins ​​that Sun Dahu and Sun Yuxia will give birth to in the future up.

"Hey, you're really right, your Da Gagong and your Gagong are cousins!"

ah?Aren't Sun Yuxia and Sun Dahu the same great-grandfather?How do you count?It seems that the blood relationship between these two people has not been three generations, right?

When Jin Xi was counting the blood generations with her fingers in her heart, Sun said again: "Your Uncle Dahu's father is also your Dagagong, and their family's ancestors have been from Sunjiagou for generations. And you Ga Gong, that is, my father, was actually adopted by my grandfather from outside."

"Really?" Jin Xi's eyes lit up, if that's the case, then it doesn't matter how many generations, no blood relationship is safe, Jin Xi began to look forward to becoming a cousin soon.

A little later, Sun Yuxia came back in a hurry. Although she had been washed for a day, she looked good, her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes rarely revealed the unique aura of a young girl.

Listening to the conversation between her and Mrs. Sun, Jin Xi caught the information that Sun Yuxia was washing there that day, and Sun Dahu was determined to help. There were a lot of whispers, no wonder he looked so good, it turned out to be nourished by love!

Because they will be going back to Lao Liang's house in Jinjishan Village the next day, Sun and Jinxi Jinrou especially like to sit in Gapo's house for a while before going to sleep these few days, and the mothers talk to each other.

"Yuzhen, you don't live in the three rooms of your old Liang's house for the past two months. In winter, frost and dew fall, and it rains and snows. I don't know that Xi'er, her grandma and your two sisters Hey, did you take care of them, and occasionally push down the window to get some air?" Mrs. Sun leaned against the head of the bed, Jinrou nestled in the bed, Sun sat at the foot of the bed, Sun Yuxia and Jin Xi sat in the moon-shaped warm bucket next to the bed, and Mrs. Sun asked worriedly.

When mentioning her mother-in-law and those two sister-in-laws, Sun fell silent.

Sun Yuxia curled her lips: "Mother, don't ask, you don't know what kind of temperament Xi'er's grandma is? If you really care about the elder sister and the two granddaughters, the elder sister and Xi'er can still hide here with us." ?”

Mrs. Sun glared at Sun Yuxia and said, "No matter how bad Mrs. Tan is, she is also your elder sister's mother-in-law, Xi'er Rou'er's grandmother, where is your turn to say that about her?"

"Okay, okay, I'm a junior, so I can't talk to the elders in private. Mother, don't ask me anything, don't worry about it. I will send the eldest sister and the others back in the future and help them clean up the three huts. Don't count on Liang The family is gone!" Sun Yuxia's aggressive temper came up again: "I will send eldest sister and them back in the future!"

"Nonsense, you are a girl who is waiting to be married, what does that look like?" Mrs. Sun scolded Sun Yuxia: "If you really want to give it away, let Yubao and Erhu give it away, let their two uncles go, and give it to the old lady." Look at the Liang family, our Sun family also has people!" Mrs. Sun's dissatisfaction with the Liang family has been accumulated in her heart for many years, she thought.

"Hey, my old lady, ever since Yu Bao was scolded and cried by Xi'er's grandma that year, he swore he would never set foot in Lao Liang's house again, so he won't go!"

Jinrou seems to understand these words of adults.She rubbed against Old Madam Sun, turned her big eyes a few times, and said childishly: "Grandma, Rouer wants to stay with Granny for the new year, Rouer is afraid!"

Mrs. Sun hugged Jinrou into her arms, and comforted her softly: "Silly boy, what nonsense are you talking about! Granny wants to keep you guys here, but what about this custom? If you really want to stay, both of us Everyone has to be stabbed in the spine!"

"When Rou'er goes back, my aunt asks Rou'er to wash her face again, and even pinches the back of Rou'er's hands, it hurts!"

"Is there such a thing?" Sun Yuxia raised her brows: "Mother, just let me give it to you. I'm going to have a good time with Liang Yumei's hoof to see how she is an aunt and bullies my niece like this." !"

Mrs. Sun frowned: "Don't make trouble! This matter, with your elder sister here, it's not your turn to take the lead! Yuzhen, can you also say something? Do you have any ideas when you go back this time?"

Sun was silent for a long time, let out a breath, glanced at Jinrou and Jinxi, and said complicatedly: "Mother, Yuxia, don't worry, the clay bodhisattva also has three parts of earthy nature, I don't care about anything, This pair of daughters, her father and I, are destined!"

Jin Xi's eyes lit up instantly, the reason why she kept silent was because she was waiting for Bao Ziniang to get tough on her own.Jin Xi is very pleased that Mrs. Sun can say this.

"Eldest sister, you have to do what you say. You have said this before, but what happened in the end? Not only the two sisters, but even you have been messed up. Don't be in front of me right now. Our face is good, when we go to Lao Liang's house, we will become soft persimmons again, worry about this, worry about that, and bear with others riding on your head, that's really cowardly!" Sun Yuxia said cracklingly .

Mrs. Sun was so angry that she couldn't laugh or cry: "How can you say that about your sister! But, Yuzhen, if you have [-]% of Yuxia's temperament, mother will not worry about you!"

"Mother, what Yuxia said is right, if I can't protect my daughter anymore, I'll be really cowardly and shameless as a mother!" Sun's eyes suddenly became firm.

"Hey, that's good, that's good." Old Madam Sun felt relieved: "Mother still told you the same way, our girls should not have bad intentions, be honest and responsible, but also not be cowardly, and be tough. When I go back this time, Mother won’t let Yubao take it, and when you come over in the first month, send a message and then let Yubao pick it up?”

"Mother, let's discuss it later, it's getting late, you should take a break!" Sun said.

Granny Sun was getting old and couldn't stay up late, after she rested, Sun Yuxia took Jinxi back to her room, and Jinrou stayed with Granny Sun and Mrs. Sun to sleep.

After returning to the house, Sun Yuxia was still thinking about what Jinrou said, still angrily asked Jinxi: "Is your sister-in-law really using your sisters like this?"

Jin Xi made the bed and sat under the quilt: "Auntie, sleeping with anger is not good for your health!"

"Xi'er, Auntie is asking you a serious question. You can tell Auntie that if your mother is really hard, Auntie will go all out to support you and Rou'er. Don't be afraid!"

Wow, meeting such a tough little aunt, Jin Xi was so moved!However, Jin Xi doesn't want to rely on others for everything, she has to rely on herself.

"Auntie, don't worry. What my sister-in-law did to our sisters is a thing of the past. Even if my mother still can't change her soft temper, with me here, from now on, I won't let you They bullied us, to borrow a word from you, auntie, Xi'er doesn't want to be a coward!"

Silent all night.

When I woke up, it was the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month.Early in the morning, Sun Dahu brought the ladder and felt grass, and together with Liang Yuzhong, he took a good rest in Sun Yuxia's house, removed the rotten rainproof felt grass, and replaced it with a new one.

The kitchen sundries in the front and the pigsty and chicken coop in the back have all been repaired.Even the dirt in the latrine, this brother-in-law picked out the bottom of it.

At the same time, Sun and Sun Yuxia were not idle.I found two long bamboo poles and tied a feather duster to the top. The dust inside and outside the house, the beams and some dead corners that were not usually available were all cleaned up.

Jin Xi was not idle either, she took the teapots, tea bowls, and spring water trays in the backyard for tea drinking at home, and brushed them inside and out with tooth powder.

After lunch, there was no wind in the yard, and the sun was shining on my body, which was very warm.

Now in Gapo, living conditions have improved, and personal hygiene care is also very different from that in Lao Liang's house.Jin Xi, Jin Rou and the others frequently bathe, wash their hair and change their obscene clothes.

Considering that returning to Lao Liang's house, these things must not be as convenient as they are now, so Jin Xi suggested to Sun to boil more hot water, and the sisters had to take a shower and wash their hair.Mrs. Sun also thought of one thing, and without a word, went to the kitchen to boil a large pot of hot water.

Jin Xi adjusted the hot water, led Jin Rou, and the two sisters took a good bath in the house with soap, and finally washed their hair and changed into clean dirty clothes, making them refreshed .

This day's dinner was made by Sun Yuxia, because Mrs. Sun was busy picking up the gifts to go back tomorrow, in the room, Jinxi and Jinrou were watching, and Liang Yuzhong was also there.

This trip back to Lao Liang's house for the New Year, in addition to the laundry for the four of them, there are also gifts for Lao Liang and Mrs. Tan.

Prepare for Old Liangtou and Tan Shi, this is the necessary filial piety that the younger generation should show to the elders.Mrs. Sun mentioned to Jinxi that Jinxi will be in charge of any gifts after that.

The hobbies and hobbies of old Liangtou are similar to those of all the old men from farmers' families, nothing more than smoking dry tobacco and drinking soju.Jin Xi bought him two catties of high-quality sorghum wine from the wine shop in the town, and five catties of high-quality shredded tobacco from Sun Ji's shop.

The gift prepared for Mrs. Tan was three bolts of clothing, two of which were used to cut and make outer clothes. Considering that Mrs. Tan would not lose money to her daughter, Jinxi purposely made one of them the material for outer clothes. The colors are festive and bright.

There is one piece of material left for making obscene clothes, and it will be distributed by Mrs. Tan.

In addition to these, Jin Xi also bought several kinds of dried fruits, snacks, pastries, and nourishing herbs.

Liang Yuzhong and Mrs. Sun expressed their satisfaction when they saw what Jin Xi had prepared, and when Mrs. Sun offered to bring back some popcorn candies and sesame peanut candies, Liang Yuzhong seemed even happier.

Seeing that Mrs. Sun packed up the things that needed to be packed, and took out two beds of new cotton wool, each weighing nine catties, and packed them together, Liang Yuzhong was puzzled.

"I said Xi'erniang, let's go home this time. Don't we have something ready-made in the house? It's not a march to fight a war. Why do you still bring bed cotton?"

Sun glanced at Jinxi: "If you want to ask, just ask your daughter who has ideas, she asked me to do this."

Liang Yuzhong just looked at Jin Xi, and Jin Xi said with a smile: "Father, the rooms we sleep in have not been lived in for several months, and those beddings, not to mention, have long since been torn and thin. It's all moldy, so I asked my mother to bring two beds of cotton wool just in case."

Liang Yuzhong was a little unhappy: "You child, don't be so ignorant! That's our home and our nest. I dare not say anything else about your father. In this matter, your grandpa and grandma, then It’s impossible for a big family not to take care of our house! You asked your mother to carry these two beds of cotton wool back, and let your grandma see it, it’s not good-looking! Quickly, remove the cotton wool!”

Unmoved, Sun looked at Jinxi, and the expressions of Jinxi and Jinrou sisters showed that they disagreed with Liang Yuzhong's words.

"Father, you can't be guarded against everything, but you have to be on the safe side? Even if our house is taken care of by grandma, the bedding on Rou'er and I's bed should have been changed a long time ago, right? Daddy, don't you have the heart for the two of us to stay together for a while?" Will you catch a cold if you go there?"

Liang Yuzhong sighed, then let go: "Okay, then bring a bed."

"Mother, I don't bring my hair flower and hair rope, and I don't bring the new clothes and skirt that my aunt pulled last time." Jinrou said suddenly.

"What's the matter, Rou'er? Isn't it just for wearing such beautiful clothes?" Sun was puzzled.

Jinrou lowered her head and said softly, "I'm afraid I'll be scolded if I wear it back."

Sun was stunned for a moment, and Liang Yuzhong looked at me and I looked at you, but didn't make a sound.Only Jinxi on the side, with the corners of her mouth slightly curled up, let out a long sigh, and said, "Hey, if you don't have a separate family, you're so tied up. We worked hard to make money to buy things, and we still have to take care of this and that. It's really aggrieved to be sneaky." Mom, I don’t want to take my share anymore, just pick a few half-worn clothes and bring them with me, so as not to attract the jealousy of others!”

Sun glanced at Liang Yuzhong, then lowered her eyelids, and silently took out the new clothes of the two girls.Liang Yuzhong squatted at the side, looked at the third wife, fell silent for a while, and said, "It will be a matter of time before the family splits up, you just wait."

That night, everyone went to bed early, but Jin Xi tossed and turned in bed as an exception, and finally fell asleep after a long time.Before I slept for a while, I was woken up by Sun Yuxia, and it was time to get up and set off.

Jin Xi wakes up, only to find that the whole family has already woken up, and Granny is also wearing a coat to take care of Jin Rou in the main room.

In the bamboo basket in the middle of the main room, soft grass is cushioned, and round eggs are placed on it.Next to it, there is a waxed chicken and a waxed duck.

"Mother, what are you doing?" Mrs. Sun looked at those things and was surprised.

"You take these eggs with you, Rou'er loves egg custard! As for the chickens and ducks, if you're not here, we can't eat so much. Bring two for your in-laws to try!"

Liang Yuzhong went outside, not in the main room. There were only women and children in the main room, so he didn't care much about what he said.

"Gapo, put the eggs here. When we come back, you can cook custard for Rou'er. I really want to take it with you. I'm afraid that if there are three that fall into Rou'er's stomach, it would be nice!" Liang Yuzhong is not here, Jin Xi didn't care much about what she said.

Standing behind Jinxi, Sun Yuxia put her hands on Jinxi's shoulders, and couldn't help giggling when she heard Jinxi say this.

"Ah? Grandma Sun was surprised and touched Jinrou's head: "My obedient niece, can I really only eat three?Three is better than nothing, bring it! "

"Mother, Xi'er is telling the truth. You should listen to me and collect all of these. We have already prepared a lot of gifts for that side!" Sun said.

"Isn't it just dozens of eggs and two chickens and ducks? Our family can afford it now, so you all bring them. Don't be surprised if there are so many people, you're right!" Mrs. Sun insisted. Sun had no choice but to bring.

Jin Xi finally understood that Mrs. Sun was worried that her daughter and niece would be bullied again when they returned to Lao Liang's house, so she tried her best to give things, hoping to use these generous things to exchange for better treatment for her daughter and niece.

Jin Xi can see clearly, in this room, except for Jin Rou who is young and not the governor, who else can't see?

........................................................................

Sun Dahu drove Liang Yuzhong's family of four out of Sunjiagou in a carriage, all the way to the side of the official road, and then the carriage stopped.

"Elder sister, brother-in-law, do you really want to get off here? How about I deliver the things to the door? Save you from having to move your big and small bags." Sun Dahu asked.

Liang Yuzhong just wanted to say hello to Sun Dahu to go in and have a rest, but was interrupted by Mrs. Sun.

"It's only a few steps away, there are not many things, we can do it by ourselves, I won't invite you in for tea today, Dahu, you should hurry to the town, Yubao and Erhu are still waiting for your carriage! "Sun said.

"Hey, that's good. I'll go there first if I have something to say later!" Sun Dahu said.

"Okay, okay, be careful on the road!"
