Returning to the Pastoral: Mrs. Yipin

Chapter 2 Lu Xier

"Sister-in-law..."

Su Yun was burning the fire, warming his whole body, and felt sleepy.This family is really poor. There are eight people in the family, but there are only three quilts for the winter, and the mats are only straw.

Although the whole family huddled together and fell asleep, the weather was so cold that they couldn't sleep well at night.Now staying by the stove, the fire was warming up, Su Yun felt a little sleepy.

Just dozing off, suddenly a voice came to his ears, Su Yun turned his head and saw that it was Lu Xier, the oldest child in the family, calling him, so he quickly sat up straight and said, "Eldest sister, why don't you stop sleeping for a while? It's snowing outside, your clothes are thin, you'd better stay warm on the bed."

"I'll get up and help my sister-in-law with some work..." Lu Xier had a hint of caution in her eyes. Since her sister-in-law came back from the dead, she didn't dare to talk to her sister-in-law.

I always feel that this sister-in-law seems to have changed, especially the scene five or six days ago is still flashing in her mind, she has never seen such a crazy sister-in-law.

The younger brothers and sisters were all scared to cry, and she was also scared to cry. I don't know what happened to my sister-in-law...

Looking at Lu Xier's thin face, sallow hair and timid eyes, Su Yun sighed helplessly.

Lu Xi'er is the eldest sister in this family, and she will be sixteen this year, but due to poverty and long-term malnutrition, she looks like a child of twelve or thirteen years old.

The whole person is skinny and dry, without the hydration and vitality of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl at all.Seeing her lowering her head, Su Yun's hands full of chilblain were stirring the corners of her clothes uneasily, and she didn't dare to make a sound, just like the child bride in the literary works of her previous life.

Thinking about my hysteria in the past few days, I think it frightened these children.Lu Xi'er is not a bold girl at all, she has a soft temper, a little shy, not good at speaking, even a little dull, very introverted.

For her, this sister-in-law is the hope of the family. That day when her sister-in-law suddenly lost her breath, she immediately felt that the sky had completely collapsed.Fortunately, my sister-in-law woke up again. Although people in the village said that my sister-in-law was a monster, it would be fine as long as my sister-in-law woke up.

But her sister-in-law's behavior after waking up... really made Lu Xier afraid. It doesn't matter what her sister-in-law is, even if it is a monster, she is not afraid.But she was afraid that her sister-in-law would not want them. If there was no sister-in-law, she would not be able to support a few younger brothers and sisters no matter what.

"Breakfast will be ready soon, come, come to sister-in-law, sit here to keep warm..." Su Yun moved to make room for some seats, "Elder sister, sister-in-law was ill and confused a few days ago, don't let her go In my heart!"

Lu Xi'er moved Zhang Xiaobai, moved to Su Yun's side with small steps, and sat down next to her.Looking at her sister-in-law's sincere eyes, Lu Xi'er's eyes turned red, tears fell down, and she muttered, "Sister-in-law..."

She obviously wanted to say a lot, but she was introverted and was not good at expressing it. When the words came to her lips, she didn't know how to express them. She was so anxious that she rubbed her hands and tears rolled in her eyes.

Su Yun's nose was a little sore, it was because she was only in junior high school at her age in her previous life, and she was still at the age of acting like a baby in the arms of her parents.

But although this child is timid and cowardly, he is a diligent child.When the original owner was sick, he owed to the elder sister's care. If she hadn't taken care of him properly, the owner might have passed away before Su Yun possessed him.

What else?Su Yun has already resigned to his fate, since he doesn't have the courage to die, let's live a good life.If these children do not have an adult to take care of them, I am afraid they will not be able to survive.

Although Su Yun is not of the nature of the Holy Mother, how can a person be ruthless without grass and trees?The children in this family are too miserable, which greatly stimulates the motherhood hidden deep in her soul.

Looking at the moisture and anticipation in Lu Xier's eyes, Su Yun made a decision at this moment: she will raise these children.

I touched Lu Xi'er's head, the hair was very dry, and it didn't feel very good when I rubbed it in my hands, "Good boy, sister-in-law will not leave you, don't be afraid, come, get closer to sister-in-law, let's snuggle together fire."

"Hmm..." The voice as thin as a mosquito screamed from Lu Xi'er's throat, but there was joy and peace of mind in her moist eyes.

Su Yun smiled, a child is a child, the age of 16 is the time of innocence!

Picking up the fire with the tongs again, the firewood crackled in the stove, and the house fell into silence again.The aunt and sister-in-law just depended on each other, neither of them spoke.

After a long time, Lu Xi'er raised her head and asked timidly: "Sister-in-law..." She bit her lip, with a struggle on her face.

"What's the matter?" Su Yun turned his head and asked, "Speak up if you have something to say, we are all one family."

"Then what..." Lu Xier took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "Sister-in-law, how much food do you have at home?"

"..."

Su Yun was speechless. Just now when she was cooking rice, she looked at the rice vat, and it had already bottomed out.If you don't do something, even if you save money, this ration will not last for three days.

"Sister-in-law, I've made up my mind..." Tears welled up in Lu Xi'er's eyes again, "If it's really not possible, sister-in-law will sell me. I heard from the third uncle next door that there is a young master from a rich family named He in the town Find a maid to take care of me, third uncle said I look good, if I go..."

"What are you talking about?!"

Before she finished speaking, Su Yun, who was picking up the fire, dropped the tongs and said angrily: "Who is the third uncle? Why did she tell you this? Huh, why don't you My lord, to say such nonsense to the junior, she has eaten too much rice, has she rushed her head?!"

Lu Xi'er was taken aback, the madness of her sister-in-law appeared again a few days ago.She shrank her neck and said: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, third uncle's mother is third uncle's mother, you, how can you even forget this?"

Su Yun was stunned for a moment, and almost revealed his secrets on the spur of the moment, and hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law is seriously ill, her mind is a little unclear, and she can't remember many things clearly."

After a pause, he continued: "Elder sister, don't be afraid, my sister-in-law is not aiming at you..."

"Hmm..." Lu Xier responded in a low voice, then raised her head suddenly, and asked, "Sister-in-law, what is Mi Tiangong?"

"It's just..." Su Yun smiled and said, "It's shit!"

"Pfft!" Lu Xier, who was in tears, was also amused by Su Yun's humor. After being ridiculous for a while, she asked curiously, "Then why is it called Mi Tiangong?"

"Dung is not called dung..." Su Yun replied solemnly: "That's how the word dung is written."

"Sister-in-law, do you know how to read?" Lu Xier was very surprised, how could sister-in-law know how to read?

"Ah?" Su Yun was dumbfounded, he forgot the original owner but couldn't read a single word, how could this be good?Oops, I'm going to be exposed!No, I have to figure out a way.

Su Yun's brain was running at a supersonic speed, and then his eyes rolled, and he said: "Well, before my sister-in-law went to town with your elder brother, I happened to meet a scholar who scolded people, and he just scolded, and later he explained Finally, my sister-in-law found it interesting and wrote it down..."

"Sister-in-law?" Lu Xier said pleasantly, "Have you not forgotten all the past? Do you still remember some..."

They all say that one lie needs to be covered up by another lie, just like a snowball, and in the end, even myself can't tell the truth.

This is obviously the case with Su Yun right now, she started to tell a lie, so now she has to cover it up with another lie.

Turning his head, he said with an unnatural expression: "Well, well, I have rested for a few days, and I still have some vague memories of some things."

"That would be great!" The simple Lu Xi'er was obviously not as complicated as Su Yun, she said happily: "After a few more days of care, my sister-in-law's illness will definitely be cured."

"This..." Su Yun sighed, looking at Lu Xier's cheerful appearance, looking at himself with a pair of bright eyes, seeing the hope in his eyes, Su Yun felt guilty for the first time.

Turning her head away slightly, she asked in a low voice: "Eldest sister, if sister-in-law... If sister-in-law will never recover from this illness for the rest of her life, will you despise sister-in-law?"

"How could it be?" Lu Xier took the pokers from Su Yun's hand, picked up the fire in the stove, and said, "Sister-in-law is sister-in-law, even if she doesn't remember the past, she is still our sister-in-law."

After a pause, some tears flashed in his eyes again, "Brother, after my father and mother have gone, if it weren't for my sister-in-law, my brothers and sisters and I would have starved to death..."

Her voice became softer and weaker, until she couldn't continue, tears covered her sallow and skinny face, Su Yun felt sad, pulled Lu Xier past her, and hugged her into his arms, He patted her and said: "Good boy, don't cry, watch your eyes carefully, as long as sister-in-law is alive, she will never leave you, and she won't let you starve."

"Sister-in-law..." The 16-year-old girl was really overwhelmed by the depression for many days. She lay in Su Yun's arms, feeling the tenderness conveyed by this body, and finally couldn't help crying loudly.

She remembered the feeling she had lying in her mother's arms when she was a child, which was somewhat the same as now, but also somewhat different.

Sister-in-law's body has a faint fragrance, this mother doesn't have...

"Sister-in-law... mother..." the girl whispered softly, Su Yun couldn't do it sadly, at this moment the motherhood in her heart was completely stimulated, she gently stroked Lu Xi'er's back, and softly persuaded: "Good boy, Don't cry, don't cry! With my sister-in-law here, you don't have to worry about anything, watch your eyes carefully, don't cry..."

The girl lay in Su Yun's arms and cried for a long time. The other children in the room were awakened by the crying and ran out one after another. When they saw the elder sister crying in the arms of the elder sister-in-law, they couldn't help crying too.

All of a sudden, there were cries one after another from the Lu family's hut, and the snow outside the house started to fall again, piece by piece, silently falling, adding to the bleakness...
