Traveling: Village Girl Plays "Staying" Husband

Chapter 62

As the saying goes, the first son of junior high school Erlang!
After Xiao Zhengxuan warmed up the "Nian Nian Yu Yu" that he brought back yesterday, he dragged the older one and the younger one up for dinner, and came to the Xiao family compound to pay New Year's greetings!

As soon as Father Xiao was sitting by the gate, holding a stove, Xiao Zhengxuan immediately took Lin Yu and Ran'er to say hello to him, and Xiao Ran'er said sweetly to Father Xiao in his arms, "Happy New Year, Grandpa!"

Father Xiao is still very guilty of this son, but he can't face his old wife. Today, he saw that his son's family didn't care about the New Year's Eve dinner, and they happily came to him to pay New Year's greetings, and he felt even more embarrassed. up.

Hearing his granddaughter's greeting, he immediately smiled and said to Ran'er: "Happy New Year, dear! Happy New Year to you all. Come, sit in the room and ask your mother to make you a cup of tea and a cup of wine. His mother, the second child's family is here."

It was rare for Xiao Zhengxuan to enjoy this kind of family affection, so he immediately said anxiously: "Father, you are so welcome! Let's just drink tea!"

Mrs. Xiao Li was sitting on the pit in the house to accompany the neighbor next door to do daily chores. When she heard that the second child's family had returned, she was filled with displeasure. Come, I just said indifferently: "It's not like your relatives are here, you'll be back when you come back, what are you calling? Come in and drink tea."

Lin Yu wanted to drag Xiao Zhengxuan away immediately, but when she saw a neighbor in the house, she walked in with Xiao Zhengxuan smiling and said, "Happy New Year, Grandmother, Happy New Year, Aunt Liu, and Happy New Year, Sister-in-law Duanming!"

The woman after being nourished is like a flower. When the two people on the pit saw the smiling Lin Yu, they immediately responded with a smile: "Just now we were talking about it, since you married into the Xiao family, the second stay in the old yard is still there. It was really well organized.”

Lin Yu put Ran'er on the pit, climbed up herself, and asked Xiao Zhengxuan to sit on the edge of the pit with her. When she heard people's praise, she embarrassedly said to Aunt Liu, "Auntie, how could it be as good as you said?" You are praising me openly! Compared with Duanming's sister-in-law, my ability is as high as the sky!"

Seeing Lin Yu complimenting her in front of her mother-in-law, the daughter-in-law of Duanming's family happily pretended to be embarrassed: "Sister Lin Yu, if you praise me like that, sister-in-law, I'm going to have to cock my tail!"

Ran'er, who was sitting aside suddenly, crawled up to Duanming's daughter-in-law and touched left and right. Duanming's daughter-in-law asked puzzledly, "Ran'er, what are you looking for behind the aunt?"

Ran'er said innocently: "Ma'am, Ran'er is looking for your little tail!"

Everyone was stunned and then burst out laughing: "Hahaha, you little guy is really happy!"

Aunt Liu took out a small red envelope from her bosom and handed it to Ran'er, saying, "Little boy, take the red envelope that Madam Liu gave you to buy candy, and next year you will grow a little tail!"

Lin Yu hurriedly stopped him and said, "Auntie, you can't do this! How can I accept your red envelope!"

Aunt Liu smiled and said, "It belongs to Xiao Er's family, this is the New Year's bag that my aunt gave Xiao Ranzi. I don't have a lot of money, so I just want to make it auspicious!"

Lin Yu knew the rules of this place. The elders would give the younger generation a small red envelope on the first day of the new year. There were only three to eight copper coins in it. Although it was small, it was the elder's wish. She said gratefully, "Thank you, aunt! Mama, I wish you another year!"

Ran'er was looking left and right with the red envelope, she had never received such a red envelope before, it was very fresh now, but she had always listened to her mother's words, because this mother never tied her at the door in the corner.

She got up and respectfully bowed to Aunt Liu: "Happy New Year, Madam Liu!"

"Okay, okay! Happy Chinese New Year! The longer the Chinese New Year, the more obedient, and the longer the better!" Aunt Liu looked at Ran'er and smiled.

Mrs. Xiao Li never thought of giving Ran'er any red envelopes, and her red envelopes were only for her grandson, but now Mrs. Liu gave her child a red envelope, and she had to fumble in her bosom for a long time before she found a small red envelope and said : "Take it, this is for you from Mammy."

Lin Yu looked at the crumpled little red envelope, and felt extremely contemptuous of Mrs. Xiao Li in her heart. Just now she groped for a long time before taking it out, so she divided more than half of the copper coins that were originally contained in the red envelope?
Deliberately pretending to be careless, Lin Yu bumped the little red envelope in Ran'er's hand. With a "bang", the little red envelope fell into the pit, and three big money rolled out!

Xiao Li's face changed drastically when she saw it, and she gave Lin Yu a hard look, wishing she could eat her in one bite!

When Aunt Liu found out that the atmosphere was not right, she immediately laughed "haha" and said, "It's a good drop! The copper coins jingle on the first day of the new year. A pair will be added today, and a pair will be added next year! Sister-in-law, congratulations to your family for having a baby this year!"

On the first day of the new year, Mrs. Xiao Li was also embarrassed to be a daughter-in-law. Hearing Aunt Liu smoothing things over, she could only smile and say, "Aunt Liu has a good word for you! If you really want to be able to add a family, you must have a wedding wine!"

"Should be, should be! Second daughter-in-law, I have to go to my aunt when I have time. I have to go back today. Those big and small people who went out to pay New Year's greetings are probably coming back. I didn't eat at noon, so I have to go early in the evening. Yes Come sit down when you have time!" Aunt Liu patted her clothes and put on her shoes, and her eldest daughter-in-law followed suit.

Before going out, Ming's daughter-in-law smiled and took Lin Yu's hand and said, "Sister Lin Yu, if you plant bean sprouts in the first month, please remember to inform my sister-in-law that I will change them. My mother said that the fried dishes in winter are crispy. Eating bean sprouts is very refreshing!"

Lin Yu immediately smiled and said, "Success, if sister-in-law wants to eat, you can just change it. My brother will start planting a little every day from the fifth day of the lunar new year. He said that in this way, everyone will have more dishes for the New Year's dinner!"

Duanming's daughter-in-law said happily: "That's great! Remember to tell me when the time comes!"

Lin Yu smiled and nodded: "Okay, sister-in-law, you can prepare the beans, and I will ask my brother to prepare them for you."

Aunt Liu asked with interest: "Daughter-in-law, your brother's bean sprouts, you can earn a lot in one winter, right? After the new year, plant them for two months, so there will be no shortage of flowers for this year, right? "

Lin Yu knew that no one in the world would not be jealous of getting rich. She smiled and said vaguely, "I don't know much about this. I'm a married younger sister, so it's hard to ask too clearly. When I go back to my mother's house every day, this It’s also because my brother is not married yet, and there is no woman in the family, so I went home to help.”

Aunt Liu also looked confident: "You are a well-behaved woman. But your natal family really has to help, or your brother is a big man, and he has to do some business and take care of his family. no."

After Aunt Liu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law left, Xiao Li looked at Lin Yu suspiciously, but Lin Yu pretended not to notice that she was looking at her.

Looking at the sky, it is indeed mid-afternoon. People in this era are poor, and there is not much work in the winter. They sleep until mid-morning before getting up. Every family eats two meals. Mrs. Li smiled and said: "Grandma, then we will go back too, so we won't delay your work."

Mrs. Xiao Li hated Lin Yu for knocking down the red envelope just now, and she said with a long face, "It stands to reason that today is the first day of the new year, and I, a mother, should let you have a meal, but you also know that I have a big family, and there is not much food. If you come to eat and she comes to eat, the whole family will be hungry, so I won’t stay anymore. You guys hurry up Let's go back!"

Xiao Zhengxuan's hands shook violently after hearing what Xiao Lishi said. Lin Yu knew that Xiao Lishi's words of not treating Xiao Zhengxuan as his family deeply hurt this honest man. She held Xiao Zhengxuan's hand tightly and praised Xiao Zhengxuan with a light smile. Mrs. Li: "Mother-in-law, you are a good housekeeper. Under your management, the family may have eight hundred if not one thousand! Daughter-in-law should really learn from mother-in-law in the future!"

When Mrs. Xiao Li heard Lin Yu say that she kept money from her private house, she said unhappily, "Your second family, what are you talking about? Is it deliberately sarcastic? If the big family wants to eat and drink, how can they keep it?" Can you live in silver?"

Lin Yu asked puzzledly: "Mother-in-law, what did the daughter-in-law say wrong? The whole family needs to eat and drink, so which one doesn't pay you ten taels a month? Look, how much money does the family pay?" Two, your monthly account is not less than 20 taels?"

"What? Little 20 taels? I'll grab it! Except for the second child who pays five taels of silver a month, who else pays ten taels or eight taels? Don't talk nonsense, people think our family is really a What about the rich family!" Xiao Li said in a bad tone.

Lin Yu pretended to be stupid again: "My mother-in-law is right, my daughter-in-law is not talking nonsense, my husband-in-law pays five taels of silver every month to honor your two elders, and you have a meal on the first day of the new year. If the families don’t pay you any money, where do you get food and drink for them?”

Only then did Xiao Li know that his daughter-in-law is waiting for her here!No matter how thick her old face was, it was still red!She pointed at Lin Yu and said, "So you are such a tricky woman, I wonder why the Wang family would withdraw their marriage? It turns out that they already knew that you are not a good person!"

When Xiao Zhengxuan heard that Xiao Li began to insult Lin Yu, he opened his eyes wide open to Xiao Li, the pain written in his eyes was even worse than before. Originally, he felt ashamed of Lin Yu, but Xiao Li's insult made his My heart hurts even more!

Xiao Zhengxuan took a deep look at Xiao Lishi with red eyes, didn't say a word, just turned around and pulled Lin Yu and said, "Daughter-in-law, let's go home!"

Lin Yu didn't expect this idiot to start staring at his mother because of her.

After all, it was an elder, and it was the first day of the new year. Xiao Li's words were so harsh, Lin Yu couldn't help but say a few words.

After Mrs. Xiao Li finished speaking, Lin Yu sneered and said, "I didn't marry into the Xiao family because I wanted to marry you, your mother-in-law. I married my second brother, who is a real person! I never expected It doesn't matter what you say about me, but the second brother Haodai is also your own son, but I don't want to understand why you are so cruel to him, I really doubt that you picked him up! Second brother, Let's go, it's like repaying a life debt with five taels of silver per month!"

Lin Yu glanced contemptuously at Mrs. Xiao Li, took Ran'er who was frightened by Mrs. Mrs. Xiao and walked out. When he reached the door, he turned around and said to Ms. Mrs. Xiao, "From now on, we will deliver the money every month on time. , you don’t need to come to the old house if you have nothing to do. Dad, if you need to find me and my second brother, you can come to the Lin family’s yard to look for it. I’m so happy to see others less!”

"You are Xianggong's own mother, but I think you are far worse than my stepmother! You are the only one in this world who treats my own son so cruelly, and I will regret it when I see you that day!"

Being belittled by a daughter-in-law whom she had always looked down upon, Xiao Li was so angry that she was about to yell at the two of them, but when she thought about Lin Yu's words carefully, she wanted to jump. Couldn't her own son do whatever he wanted?It's none of your business as an outsider!

It’s just that the words of curse were too late to utter. Father Xiao, who had just come in, saw his second son and his wife going out with their children. He only heard Lin Yu’s last two words. He didn’t know what happened, so he He asked with a calm face: "Mother, today is the first day of junior high school, why don't you stay with the second child's family for dinner?"

There was nowhere for Xiao Li's anger to come out. Father Xiao's words made her find an outlet, so she complained to Father Xiao for a while: "How much food do you have for me? Eat this and that, is there any?" If you have nothing to eat for a day, you will eat me, an old woman!"

Father Xiao looked at the crazy old woman and said with disdain: "The old woman will start to go crazy! You treat the second child's family like this, and one day you will regret it!" Ignoring her again, he turned and went inside Room.

Mrs. Xiao Li yelled at Father Xiao's back: "What do I regret? He is my son. I gave birth to him and raised him. Can't I let him have a little more money now? Who hasn't made a fortune after going out for more than ten years?" But what about him? Apart from giving a little money, the biggest thing is to bring back a companion! I don’t believe that he will be successful, if he wants to be successful, he will be successful long ago. If I don’t force him anymore, such a family Where does the silver flower come from!"

Mrs. Xiao Li couldn't believe it. Such a stupid son would have no future. Why not take some money from him while he was earning money.

Many years later, Xiao Li regretted that she had lost her best son with shallow eyelids.
