Traveling: Village Girl Plays "Staying" Husband

Chapter 63

The old woman's unreasonableness made Papa Xiao really sad. Although the second son was a little stunned, he was honest and loyal, let alone his contribution to the family!
Father Xiao sincerely regrets letting this son recite his own mistakes back then!He will try his best to help this son in the future, but does he have the ability?

Sister-in-law Xiao and Sister-in-law Xiao took their children to visit each other’s homes to pay New Year’s greetings. Before they had time to enter the yard, they saw the backs of Xiao Zhengxuan and his wife walking back from a distance. Is that the second child's family?"

Third Sister-in-Law Xiao blinked her eyes and said, "It should be, Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law are here to pay New Year's greetings to parents, right?"

Sister Xiao snorted: "Sisters and sisters, do you know why mother doesn't let them come back for the New Year?"

Xiao Sansao asked with interest: "Why?"

Aunt Xiao curled her lips, "Do you think this second child is really stupid?"

Xiao San's sister-in-law was puzzled now: "Sister-in-law, no one said he was really dumb? It's just that the second brother doesn't like to talk and looks a little dumb. How can he be really dumb?"

Mrs. Xiao said sarcastically, "Not only is she not stupid, but she is also very smart!"

Third Wife Xiao stared wide-eyed and asked, "Sister-in-law, where do you start with this? You mean about the second brother secretly hiding money?"

The two walked into the yard while talking. Before Mrs. Xiao could answer Mrs. Xiao, she saw Mrs. Xiao Li standing at the door with a stinky face. Displeased you?"

Seeing the two daughters-in-law's pockets full of food, Xiao Li didn't take it out to give her a hand, and said in a bad tone, "Which one of you doesn't make me angry?"

Sister-in-law Xiao was complained by her mother-in-law for no apparent reason, and she immediately flattered her by saying, "Mother, we dare not make you angry, we will be struck by lightning! Who is it that doesn't have eyesight, and makes mother unhappy on the first day of the new year?" I'm going to scold him for you!"

Xiao Li said embarrassingly: "You just speak nicely!"

Sister-in-law Xiao knew that her husband was a wooden man. Apart from being able to farm, his ability to earn money was far behind that of his second brother. This mother-in-law handed over a lot of money from the second brother!
"Mom, if you're unhappy, just scold me. Don't be so angry. Today, my siblings and I went to visit my uncle and aunt's house to pay New Year's greetings, but we came back with a lot of delicious food. Shall I take it out for my mother to taste?"

Xiao Li looked very pleased with the pleasing face of the eldest daughter-in-law: "Do you still have me as a mother-in-law in your heart? It's much better than the two heartless guys of the second child who died empty-handed. And let your father be angry with me! What a heartless guy, I gave birth to him in vain!"

The third sister-in-law Xiao did not dare to offend and did not want to please Xiao Li. Although Xiao Li was not as harsh on their husband and wife as the second brother, it was not much better. The money scraped from the second brother was not given to the two younger uncles. Entering the school means that the two sons of the sister-in-law's family have gone to the school. Anyway, their family did not end up in a good place.

As Mrs. Xiao helped her mother-in-law into the house, Mrs. Xiao took out a handful of fruits from her pocket and put them into Mrs. Xiao Li's hands, asking seemingly unintentionally: "Mother, the second brother and younger siblings came back to honor your old age." Bar?"

Mrs. Xiao Li had just licked a melon seed and snorted angrily when she heard the words of the eldest daughter-in-law: "Honor? He will still remember to honor me? Even if there are good things, he will honor his wife!"

Mrs. Xiao deliberately opened her eyes wide and said in disbelief, "Mother, can't you? I heard that the second sibling is a capable person. Years ago, he and the head of the Lin family did the bean sprouts business together, and they said they made a lot of money. As for the money, how can I use the money of my second brother?"

Xiao Li's eyes almost fell when he heard Mrs. Xiao's words: "You mean that your second sibling also has a share in the bean sprouts business?"

Aunt Xiao deliberately asked her: "Huh? Don't mother know that this is not possible? Everyone in the street knows that the Lin family's bean sprouts are made by younger brothers and sisters!"

Upon hearing what the eldest daughter-in-law said, Xiao Li's anger immediately turned on his face: "What a little hoof of the Lin family! Just now Aunt Liu asked her about the bean sprouts, but she is fine. She is afraid that my Xiao family will divide the money, so she simply said it was her brother. What's the way!"

Third Sister-in-Law Xiao said cautiously: "Mother, in fact, this method is considered to be the second sister-in-law's. If she doesn't admit it, there is nothing I can do. If this method is the second brother's, it is not bad!"

Mrs. Xiao Li looked at the third daughter-in-law meaningfully: "I'm afraid you're right. She's a woman who doesn't leave the house. How can she get the seedlings? Not to mention the Lin family. If there is such a Way, this brother of the Lin family would have used it to earn money a long time ago? Otherwise, he would have nothing to say when the Wang family retired."

Sister-in-law Xiao and Sister-in-law Xiao heard: "Mother, do you think that the second brother learned the method from outside and gave it to her in order to please his wife?"

When Xiao Li heard this, she thought it made sense, and she couldn't sit still anymore: "Let's go, everyone follow me to the second child's house!"

Father Xiao just came in from the back room, when he saw the aggressive Xiao Lishi, he immediately stopped her: "What are you going to the second child's house for again?"

Xiao Li's eyes widened: "What are you going to do? Go ask the Xiao family how to earn money!"

Father Xiao frowned and asked, "What is the Xiao family's way of earning money?"

Mrs. Xiao immediately talked about what happened just now, and Father Xiao was furious: "You damn old woman, today is the first day of the first lunar month, do you think your family will not go well for a year? From just now to here Yes, you've been finding fault all the time, I think you don't want to live a good life anymore! Go into the house for me, whoever wants to make trouble on this New Year's Eve, go back to my mother's house!"

Father Xiao really lost his temper, and Mrs. Xiao Li was also afraid. It is true that today is the first day of the first lunar month, so you can’t make trouble. She was angry just now, so she became impulsive. Go, do you think I won't be able to take the money back to the Li family? My Li family is not short of such a few taels of silver!"

The children of the two brothers of Xiao Li's natal family are running outside, and the family is doing well. At that time, when the Xiao family was so poor that there was no rice to cook, they often went back to the Li family to borrow money and food. Another reason for the Xiao family's arrogance.

Father Xiao felt that he had treated his second son a little bit badly, so when Mrs. Xiao Li was looking for trouble with them, he deliberately came out to stop him. After hearing what Mrs. Xiao complained about, he had to say again: "Think about it, when the second son came back At that time, he gave all his money to his family to buy a house and land. If he really had such a way to earn money, he himself would not go to the mountains to hunt and earn money every day. How dangerous are the mountains? Even if he is an idiot, he Will you know too?"

Although Xiao Li felt very sorry, she also felt that what the old man said was reasonable, but she was still not reconciled: "Even if it is the way of the second child's family, then she will marry into our Lin family, right? If there is a good way to earn money, you have to It's right to earn money with the Xiao family, where do married women only remember to take care of their mother's family?"

Father Xiao felt that the old woman was crazy about money, and even her own son and daughter-in-law were involved, so he hit Xiao Li and said, "You already knew that the second child's family is a girl who doesn't leave the house. Could the idea be hers? I think you should stop betting on the two of them!"

Father Xiao's remark temporarily dispelled Mrs. Xiao Li's idea of ​​going to Xiao Zhengxuan and his wife, and Mrs. Xiao waited for Father Xiao to go out and muttered: "Mother, you have to find a way to let the second younger brother and sister take the bean sprouts. Learned the method and taught it to the Xiao family! After all, she married into the Xiao family, so she has to think more about the Xiao family!"

Mrs. Xiao Li nodded involuntarily after hearing this: "Well, you've just said something human! It seems that I was wrong before, this girl from the Lin family can still be of some use! Since she is already from the Xiao family, then this The only way is to make it belong to the Xiao family!"

Xiao's sister-in-law's eyes lit up immediately after hearing Xiao Li's words: it was as if a huge pile of white silver was piled up in front of her eyes.

Not to mention that everyone in Xiao's house was thinking about Lin Yu's way of earning money, just say that after the three of them returned to Xiao's old house and looked at the dilapidated house on the other side, Xiao Zhengxuan stood in a daze in the yard. : Are you too useless?Is it too wronged for my wife and children to live like this now?
With black hair and crimson clothes, he stood quietly in the yard like a statue, his eyes were suspiciously staring at the corner of the wall without blinking. Lin Yu came out and saw him like this, thinking that he was still unhappy about what happened just now, She held Ran'er and stood beside him and said, "Idiot, how about I bake you and Ran'er a chive pancake to eat at night? Cook some millet porridge and burn a plate of shredded pork and fragrant dried meat, will you bleed?" saliva?"

Lin Yu's friendly and relaxed tone instantly removed the gloomy expression from his gloomy face, his dull eyes suddenly became like stars, and even a slight smile appeared on his face.

Xiao Zhengxuan put his arms around Lin Yu and said softly under his shoulder, "Daughter-in-law, I want to eat your kimchi pork shredded noodles even more! The sour, hot and spicy taste is even better!"

Ran'er also clapped her hands and said, "Mom, I want to eat kimchi pork shredded noodles too!"

Lin Yu turned his small face to the side and rolled his eyes at the father and daughter, deliberately said harshly: "Huh! It would be nice to have something to eat for you, how dare you order it back? Go knead the noodles! Or let you drink Noodle soup!"

Looking at the lively little face in front of him, the unhappiness in Xiao Zhengxuan's heart disappeared immediately. He put his head on top of Lin Yu's and said heartily, "Daughter-in-law, even drinking noodle soup feels delicious when I'm with you!"

Lin Yu turned his head and looked up at him proudly, and said, "Then don't you want to see whose handicraft it is? With my smart brain and dexterous hands, the noodle soup I make is of course better than other people's delicacies from mountains and seas!"

With such a proud little daughter-in-law, Xiao Zhengxuan put aside all the unhappy things just now, with such a beautiful woman to accompany him, what else is there to be unhappy about?Suddenly a smile couldn't help reappearing on his face...

Although it was a cold winter, the kitchen of Xiao's old house was full of heat.

The fire marks in the stove turned the walls red, and the steaming cauldron kept tumbling.

"Daddy, I want to eat wide and long noodles!"

Xiao Ran moved a small stool and stood in front of the pressing board, directing Xiao Zhengxuan who was hanging the noodles.

Lin Yu took out a small handful of sauerkraut and put it in the rice bowl. Hearing Raner's request, he couldn't help laughing out loud: "Raner, be careful that your father's hand hits you. Aren't the noodles all long? Are there any short ones?"

Putting down the bowl in his hand, Lin Yu took another wet cotton towel and walked over to Xiao Zhengxuan's side to wipe it for him: "Look at you father and daughter, are you kneading dough? I think it's a big show! On the surface, There is flour on the forehead and hair, did you roll in the flour?"

"Hey hey hey" Xiao Zhengxuan looked at the nagging little mouth and smirked: "It's not my fault, if you want to blame it, blame it. If you tell her not to play with noodles, she will say that you agreed to her play."

Lin Yu shook his head and pinched Xiao Ran'er's nose: "Little girl! How did I agree with you to play with flour? I mean, after your father is finished kneading, let him give you a ball and you can make it yourself! Use chicken feathers as arrows, you stinky bastard!"

Ran'er raised the little dough in his hand and said proudly: "Mother, Ran'er be a dog!"

"Hey hey, silly girl, you made a dog, not you! Well, come down and play, don't get in the way of your daddy pulling noodles."

Xiao Ran finished the last bit of noodle soup in a hurry, and she held up the small bowl and called proudly: "Daddy, mother, Xiao Ran is the first to finish eating!"

Lin Yu picked up a cotton towel and wiped his little face covered with noodle soup and asked, "But are you full?"

But Xiao Raner did ask to put down the bowls and chopsticks, Xiao Zhengxuan asked: "Is Daddy full?"

Xiao Zhengxuan glanced at Lin Yu ambiguously before replying, "Daddy isn't full yet."

Xiao Ran'er said kindly: "Then Daddy will be full after drinking the soup in that pot!"

Xiao Zhengxuan blinked at Lin Yuhong's tender face and said, "Well, your mother will give Daddy some soup later!"
