my grandmother

Chapter 120

Just before noon, the cart stopped at the entrance of Cailian Alley, Li Xiaonan jumped out of the cart, waved her hands to signal Wan Qing not to get out of the cart, and ran straight into the house.

The yard is quiet.

Li Xiaonan drooped her shoulders in disappointment, walked to the kitchen door, and poked her head in, "Sister Mei, I'm back."

"The meal is almost ready. I just made tea. Go and drink a bowl to catch your breath. Let's eat now." Sister Mei was busy cooking.

"I'll help you light the fire."

"No, no, no!" Sister Mei waved her hands, "Go and rest."

Li Xiaonan turned around and went to the main room.

Sister Mei said once that she built the fire not to help but to cause trouble. When Sister Mei was at her in-laws' house, she would cook by herself.

After eating, Li Xiaonan held the book and read it absent-mindedly all afternoon. When it was getting dark, Li Yinzhu's voice came from outside the courtyard door, "Stairs and steps! Be careful not to fall!"

Li Xiaonan dropped the book, jumped up and rushed out.

Outside the gate of the courtyard, there were large and small bags of silver beads, the same big and small bags as the woman next to her, like two slowly moving piles of parcels.

"Sister Mei!" Li Xiaonan quickly called Sister Mei.

Sister Mei rushed out from the backyard in a hurry, and together with Li Xiaonan, they ran one after another, unloading the packages on both of them.

"You go back first, tell the second young master that I will go back later, if he goes back early, let him wash and go to bed first." Li Yinzhu patted the front of his clothes and ordered his mother-in-law imposingly.

The mother-in-law agreed, and walked out flicking her skirt.

"Sister San, you came back with so many things." Li Xiaonan looked at the large pile of packages of various colors in the main room with her hips on her hips.

Li Yinzhu carefully took off the azurite beige, and Sister Mei hurriedly took it, "Third sister, this is the clothes for meeting guests, right? You don't need to wear such expensive clothes when you go back to your own home. What if it gets scratched and gets dirty?" !"

"It's not what I want to wear, it's Erlang, who insists on me wearing this." Li Yinzhu said while taking off the big red pomegranate skirt.

"This pomegranate red is very delicate, and the silk is so slippery. The third sister is also wearing silk!" Sister Mei carefully held the skirt and turned around, but she still couldn't find a place to put the expensive pomegranate skirt. , saw the pink silk petticoat inside Li Yinzhu, and let out a cry of surprise.

Li Xiaonan sat on the small bamboo chair, resting her chin and looking at the two: one grabbed her clothes and introduced the other and screamed tut tut.

Li Yinzhu put on the coarse cloth skirt of the second elder sister Li Yuzhu, then put on the coarse cloth gown of the eldest elder sister, covering the silk underneath, and even took off her shoes, dragging a pair of old sister Mei's shoes, and finally sat down.

Miss Mei ran back to the kitchen to add vegetables to cook, while Li Xiaonan and Li Yinzhu sat and talked.

Li Xiaonan pointed to a pile of large and small parcels, "Sister San, you brought too many things, I think Eldest Sister must be upset."

"Why is eldest sister unhappy? Eldest sister must be very happy!

"Aunt, let me tell you, their Hong family is rich, and they eat meat every meal. I eat with your second brother and I also need four or five dishes, two, three, three or four meat dishes, chicken and fish. There are all eggs! Just like that, your second brother still thinks there are too few dishes!" Li Yinzhu's eyes sparkled.

"You don't eat all the time, do you?" Li Xiaonan tugged on Li Yinzhu's clothes.

"No! You told me that rich people's homes are full of fat and meat, and they can only eat [-]% of their meals. If they eat too much, they will have problems. I remember."

Li Yinzhu paused, turned her eyes to look left and right, approached Li Xiaonan, and kept her voice extremely low.

"Ah Nan, what you said is really, that, not what Sister Mei said, that, that, that."

"You and the third brother-in-law are very good, very happy?" Li Xiaonan asked clearly after turning a corner with a long voice.

Li Yinzhu kept nodding, and for a moment, she frowned, "Anan, how did you know? This matter..."

"Haven't you heard that saying? A scholar can know the affairs of the world without going out. Of course he knows this kind of thing!" Li Xiaonan was confident.

"That's right, Dad often said this when he was alive. So! Isn't that your brother?" Li Yinzhu turned her eyes to look left and right, before she finished speaking, she raised her chin at Li Xiaonan.

"I don't think he knows, and he's not really a scholar." Li Xiaonan said bluntly.

"That's not it!" Li Yinzhu slapped the table and breathed a sigh of relief, "Anan, let me tell you..."

"Silver Pearl is back?"

Li Yuzhu's surprised voice came from the gate of the courtyard.

"I'm back! Second sister, eldest sister!"

Li Yinzhu jumped up to meet her.

"Why are you dressed like this?" Li Yuzhu looked at Li Yinzhu who was dressed in coarse cloth, and exclaimed.

"No, no, I wore it back! Sister Mei is afraid it will get dirty, so she changed it for me now." Li Yinzhu quickly explained.

Li Xiaonan dragged a small bamboo chair and sat in a corner, watching the three elder sisters asking questions and answering each other. Before the three of them could finish speaking, Li Xuedong also rushed back, and the three of them surrounded Li Yinzhu in the middle, chattering more and more. It rang.

Sister Mei set out the meal, but the four of them hadn't finished talking.

"Eat first!" Li Yuzhu pushed Li Yinzhu.

"Those were all brought back by Sister San." Li Xiaonan pointed.

Li Jinzhu, Li Yuzhu, and Li Xuedong saw a pile of packages on the ground.

"So many! What are they? How did you get them? How did you finish them?" Li Yuzhu screamed, her eyes widened.

Li Jinzhu frowned. "What's all this? Why did you bring so many things back?"

"This is the snack that the old man asked us to eat on the way. I brought all of it without touching a piece. This pea cake is delicious."

Li Yinzhu unwrapped one bag, showed it to everyone, put it aside, and unwrapped the second one, "Look at this! We've never used it before! This is pearl ointment. It's so smooth and comfortable when you apply it on your face! It’s for wiping your hands, Big Sister wipes it a little every day, it won’t crack your hands in winter, it’s for wiping your teeth..."

"Are you evacuating the small courtyard between you and Erlang?" Li Jinzhu grimaced.

"No, there are many more, their Hong family is rich, their family..."

"Their family is rich, so you just move it to your natal family like this?" Li Jinzhu interrupted Li Yinzhu, "What did the sister-in-law Hou in our village say about her? She was called an iron broom, how could she beat her man and her mother-in-law?" Hers? Didn't you see it?"

"No, Erlang knows all these things. There are several bags of pens and inks, and Erlang packed them for me..."

"Erlang is good to you. You have to think about him and the Hong family. You are now a wife of the Hong family, not a daughter of the Li family. Tell me, how many daughter-in-laws have returned to their natal families like you, with such a bunch of Something? Have you seen it? Which one? Which one! Is there one?"

Li Jinzhu's voice was stern.

Seeing that Li Yinzhu wanted to explain, Li Yuzhu slapped her fiercely, "Yinzhu, tell me that I won't dare next time!"

"Next time, I won't dare next time." Li Yinzhu was so wronged that her throat choked.

"There's no next time, this time won't work! Xuedong goes outside to call a car and take these things back to her." Li Jinzhu said sharply.

Li Xuedong let out a hey, and ran out quickly.

"Eldest Sister, the third sisters are all back, calm down, no matter what..." Sister Mei timidly tried to persuade her, but seeing Li Jinzhu's expressionless face, she didn't dare to say any more.

"Anan, please persuade me." Li Yuzhu pushed Li Xiaonan.

Li Xiaonan smiled dryly, "Eldest sister is really angry, not fake anger, third sister, you haven't changed your clothes yet."

The car came quickly, and Sister Mei and Li Xuedong piled up a lot of things on the car. Li Yuzhu helped Li Yinzhu change into clothes, pushed Li Yinzhu, who was wiping tears one after another, and sent her to the car. car.
