Chapter 122

The woman immediately smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, it's me. I think you have a visitor? Is that your cousin?"

Xiuyao saw that it was Fu Shi, the daughter-in-law of Qin Baojin's family in front of her. This Fu Shi had fair skin and a medium appearance, but because she was good at talking and laughing, there was an amorous look in her brows and eyes, and her peach blossom eyes turned around with water.She is a well-known inquisitor and gossip lady in the village, and also a well-known romantic daughter-in-law in the village, known as Peach Blossom.It is said that in order to give birth to a son, she dared to pull a man into the shack, and after giving birth to her son, she threatened, "Who would dare to enter the shack to recognize the pup?" This method allowed her to have two sons—belonging to different men.She was also the only man in the village who dared to make her man so angry that he wanted to jump into the river and divorce his wife with her. In the end, he died and knelt down to beg for mercy. The men would tease her man after drinking in private, saying that his head was full of spring.

Xiuyao naturally avoided this kind of person. Although Qin Baojin was also surnamed Qin, he had a long relationship with the old Qin's family. On weekdays, it was just acquaintances for face, work or something, and they rarely got together.

Xiuyao glanced at her, but she didn't offend her, and said with a smile: "Nephew and daughter-in-law, it's snowing, aren't you cold?"

Qin Baojin's seniority is small, so he has to call Xiuyao a aunt.

Fu's smile was like a flower, "I'll just walk around and see that someone from your family is here."

Xiuyao said: "Yes, my aunt's brother." Then she closed the door.

Mrs. Fu looked at the two wooden doors, peeked inside, and couldn't see anything, so she walked east, then turned a corner, and passed in front of Lao Qin's house, just in time to see the second and third aunts in front of the door plowing snow.

Mrs. Fu laughed and said, "The two nuns are sweeping the snow. It's snowing a lot. The wheat will be good next year."

The second aunt glanced at her, curled her lips with contempt, and snorted, but the third aunt smiled and said, "That's right, where is Baojin's going?"

Fu Shi said: "Just wander around, the house is very boring under the snow."

The third aunt smiled and let her go, so that she could continue to sweep the snow.

Fu took two steps, stopped, turned around and said in a low voice, mysteriously: "My grandma (great-grandmother Zhang) is okay."

The third aunt nodded and said loudly: "It's all right, thank you for remembering."

Mrs. Fu smiled but refused to leave, and asked again: "Now that the family is separated, life will be easier, I think my grandma's house has guests all day long."

The second aunt snorted, "There are people in my natal family who are rich, so of course they are here." As she spoke, she swung the broom vigorously to sweep the floor. In the past, there was no separation of families. These jobs should be done by Xiuqin and Xiuxian, but now they can't Okay, let her and Third Aunt do it all.

With the separation of the family, the family has not improved a bit, and the food has not improved, but the work is all on her, which is simply too bullying.

Seeing the third aunt and Mrs. Fu muttering over there, she couldn't help raising her eyebrows and said loudly: "Hurry up and sweep the snow."

Mrs. Fu and the third aunt didn't know what they said, they laughed haha, and said: "It's still falling, wait for the snow to stop before sweeping, maybe it will last a day and a night." Then he said to the third aunt : "Third mother, I will say that you are at a disadvantage. When the family is divided, they will bring back their natal family's things openly. They used to be used by you together, but now they are their own. I told Baojin that this is wrong, it is really selfish. It's not fair to the third mother's family, is it?"

The third aunt said a few words to her, and Mrs. Fu left home.

The second aunt spat at Fu Shi's back, and the third aunt hurriedly said: "Second sister-in-law, don't be like this, she treats us politely, we can't turn against him."

The second aunt said disdainfully: "Such broken shoes deserve my courtesy to her."

The third aunt whispered a few words, and the second aunt said angrily, "Is there such a thing? Hurry up and have a look."

The third aunt smiled and said: "Second sister-in-law, don't worry, it might be her natal nephew, Xiuqin and the others are all at home, don't be surprised, and let your parents get angry when they hear it." The two continued to scan Snow.

The second aunt said: "Then her family is living a good life now, and they go to the market to buy this and that. Xiuting came back that day and said that they closed the door and fried delicious food for a whole day."

The third aunt said with a sneer, "Second sister-in-law, her mother's family has money, and they gave it reluctantly before, but they gave it to the family. What can we do? They eat meat every day, so we can only be greedy, and we don't even have a mouthful of soup."

The second aunt said angrily: "You can't say that. If this is the case, the family has to be re-divided. Why didn't she take the money from her mother's family and spend it together? Now she is alone. If this is the case, then she should have insisted that everyone in their family Pay two hundred dollars a month and get back."

The third aunt curled her lips and said, "Father doesn't want Dafang to suffer. It's obvious that the family is divided so that Dafang's natal family can help him live a better life."

The two muttered and talked endlessly. Seeing that the snow was getting bigger, they had to stop sweeping and went home with the broom.

The heavy snow was getting bigger and bigger, and the north wind was howling, rolling the goose feathers and heavy snow, as if a huge hand was constantly tearing the cotton wool, and it was so scattered that it covered the sky and covered the sky, making it almost impossible to see anything.

With such a heavy snowstorm, the Liu family could not chase Sun Dacheng away. After lunch and dinner together, it was already dark.Anyway, let him live in the west room if it is vacant, and if someone asks, it will be said that a relative's child is here to deliver New Year's goods.

There wasn't enough bedding at home, so Liu had no choice but to make up a quilt that was originally placed on the floating head to cover him.But Sun Dacheng thought it was someone's quilt, afraid of offending the girl, he tremblingly refused to take it, "Second sister, I, I'm not cold, I'm wearing a jacket inside, and I have a big jacket outside, my big jacket is made of sheepskin. Yes, it’s not cold.” The quilt was like a red-hot soldering iron, and he dared not touch it.

Xiuyao watched from the side, she didn't think she was a hooligan like what her aunt said.

Liu Xu was still dissatisfied with her sister letting Sun Dacheng stay, but she didn't tell Liu the reason, so she could only hold back, took a pair of scissors and put them under the pillow.Xiuyao saw it and said with a smile, "Auntie, what are you doing?"

Liu Xu snorted, "You don't know?"

Xiuyao winked at her, then went to fetch water and came back to wash Liu Shi's feet.Liu's ankle was sprained, and it was very painful at the time, but it was much better after applying snow compresses, and there was no muscle injury, so she didn't take it seriously.

After tidying up, Xiuyao went to Xijian to see Sun Dacheng again, and saw him leaning on the Kang hole, covered with her sheepskin coat.

She raised the soup can, "Are you thirsty, dinner is a bit salty."

Seeing her take the initiative to bring water to him, Sun Dacheng approached happily, "Thank you, I will remember your kindness."

Xiuyao pursed her lips and smiled, and said in a low voice, "I'm asking you something, why does my aunt say you're a hooligan?"

Sun Dacheng blushed, waved his hands and shook his head and said: "Yaoyao, you don't know who I am, it's a misunderstanding, misunderstanding, your aunt won't listen to me."

Xiuyao smiled and said, "Then tell me what's going on?"

Sun Dacheng was a little bit embarrassed to speak, his cheeks became even redder, Xiuyao hummed: "Forget it if you don't say it."

Sun Dacheng gritted his teeth, and said cruelly: "Okay, let me tell you, you can help me persuade your aunt."

Xiuyao nodded, just as Sun Dacheng was about to speak, Liu Xu pushed open the door, stared at him coldly, dragged Xiuyao away, and reprimanded: "How many times have I told you, don't talk to that bastard!" Things speak."

Xiuyao pursed her lips, "Auntie, I think he's fine."

Liu Xu scolded, "What do you know?"

Xiuyao said unconvinced: "You guys misunderstood, and you didn't explain it to anyone."

Liu Xu's cheeks were flushed, and she pushed her to the east room, "Sleep."

It snowed heavily all night, and the outside was completely white, and there were almost no other colors except white.The snow in the courtyard reached the ankles as soon as one stepped on it. It was soft, as if it were the finest soft white sugar.

Before dawn, Sun Dacheng got up and cleaned the snow from the gate to the courtyard. If he hadn't obeyed Xiuyao's order not to go out casually, he would also have cleaned the gate to the street.

Xiuyao gave Sun Dacheng the [-] catties of fried sweet potatoes and the other [-] catties of unfried sweet potatoes at home—he came here under the pretext that he wanted to buy sweet potatoes.Originally, Xiuyao wanted to give him a penny cheaper, but Sun Dacheng naturally refused. He also wanted to give Xiuyao more, so as to impress her, but Xiuyao also refused, so the two settled at eight pennies.

Mrs. Liu made breakfast for him to eat, and told him to leave early and pay attention to safety on the way.

Although Sun Dacheng left reluctantly, he had no choice but to leave.

Xiuyao, Xiurong, and Xiuqin took the broom and shovel and sent him out, cleaning the snow in front of the door.

As soon as the door opened, Xiuyao heard the sound of footsteps outside. Although the person disappeared, there were several lines of footprints of different sizes left behind.

If you want to eavesdrop, you must at least have the lightness skill of Treading Wuhen.

Looking at the size of the footprints, I don't even need to think about how many Xiutings are there, and maybe the biggest one is the second aunt or the third aunt.

Xiurong scolded angrily: "Where did you come from, wild mouse, let's see if you don't break your two cheap claws with mouse clips next time."

Thinking of the last time she planned to put the waste clip outside the window, which stopped Xiumei's feet, Xiuyao and Xiuqin laughed.

Sun Dacheng looked at it, and knew that he had caused gossip to Xiuyao's family, so he couldn't help but feel guilty again, and looked at them with a guilty look.

Xiuyao said: "I'll see you off." Then she and Sun Dacheng went out of the village.

At this time, several people came towards them, dragging Xuexue half-walking and half-sliding. Xiuyao saw that the first one was Mrs. Zhang, and there were also Xiuting Xiumei and the third aunt.

Xiuyao immediately said to Sun Dacheng: "You are my aunt's second cousin."

Xiuyao had made up her mind a long time ago, and told people that she was her aunt's cousin. Anyway, it was snowing and it was dark, so everyone couldn't see clearly, and she wouldn't be able to recognize her if she met again in the future.Moreover, Sun Dacheng and his cousin are about the same size and stature, so there is nothing to be afraid of.Besides, my aunt's big cousin and mother don't know each other, but my grandma's family does.

"Nurse, where are you going?" Xiuyao asked knowingly.

Mrs. Zhang glanced at her, then looked at Sun Dacheng again, and said sharply, "Who is this?"

Xiuyao smiled and said, "This is the second brother of my aunt's family. He came to visit yesterday."

Sun Dacheng immediately called his mother.

Zhang's eyes didn't know if it was reflected by the snow light, they were bright and not dim at all, she asked, "What are you carrying?"

Without waiting for Sun Dacheng to speak, Xiuyao immediately said: "My second brother sent a bag of millet yesterday, and my mother returned half a bag of cotton seeds to our family."

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she immediately felt unbearable pain, "We can extract cotton seeds for oil and feed them to livestock."

Xiuyao immediately said: "Nurse, our family doesn't have any livestock,"

Mrs. Zhang interrupted her abruptly, "We have pigs without livestock."

Xiuyao cursed in her heart: That's your pig, not mine, we separated long ago.But she couldn't say it out, so she said: "My aunt brought millet, and it's not too much for my mother to return some cotton seeds." Because she has always held resentment and hostility towards Mrs. Zhang, when she talked to Mrs. Zhang, her tone was a little bit Not so peaceful.

Mrs. Zhang heard it right away, and was about to scold when she opened her mouth. The third aunt hurriedly said, "Mother, this is on the street." Although she wanted her mother-in-law to scold Xiuyao for being ignorant and Mrs. Liu for being unfilial, she also I know, now that my father-in-law is here, nothing can happen, and my family's reputation will be affected anyway.

Mrs. Zhang glared at Xiuyao, "Go home, I have something to say."

But Xiuyao said: "You go, I have to see my second brother off." Saying that, she told Sun Dacheng to leave quickly.

Mrs. Zhang became angry, "You damn girl, you have stiffened your wings, right?" She is not the kind who doesn't care about face and doesn't want to be nice in front of relatives. Yes, but in front of her daughter-in-law's family, she felt that there was no need to put on that face.The daughter-in-law has to listen to her mother-in-law, and the daughter-in-law's family has to think of everything for them. If they don't think about it, the in-laws are rude.

As for the aunt's child who came to send millet, she didn't give her some, and Liu didn't send the millet. Instead, she paid a bag of cotton seeds instead of giving her the cotton seeds. She felt that Liu was really rebellious.

But Xiuyao didn't want to talk to her, and had to ask Sun Dacheng about the misunderstanding between him and his aunt. She said to Liu Shi, "Mother, I'll take my second brother to see my grandpa." Mammy is also grandpa.

In winter, old Qintou was weaving mats in the mat cellar dug in the patio, and he couldn't come out easily, and he probably didn't know that Mrs. Zhang was coming out to have a convulsion again. Xiuyao wanted to remind grandpa not to let his old lady go out all day to embarrass herself.Everyone is separated, so let's live in peace and stability.

When Mrs. Zhang heard that she was going to find the old man, she was a little discouraged. She snorted, "Your grandpa wants to weave mats. You think you are as free as you and enjoy life all day long." Then she said to the third aunt: "Go, go. Look at her mother hugging her nest at home." (Hen hugging her nest)

Xiuyao was so angry that she clenched her fists, if she wasn't too young and too weak, she really wanted to go up and beat her up and get revenge!

She felt that it was impossible for her to be generous and tolerant. She was just a stingy person. Zhang's offended her, and she would not forget it so easily.

Sun Dacheng felt that Xiuyao's body was trembling slightly with anger, so he said to Zhang: "Nurse, I'll go first, the road is long, so I have to go early." Saying that, he called Xiuyao to leave quickly.

Neither of them spoke on the way, Sun Dacheng glanced at her and teased her: "Your nanny is really amazing, but mother-in-law is usually like this."

Xiuyao smiled and said, "Will your mother treat my aunt like this?"

Sun Dacheng immediately stated, "That's not true, my mother is satisfied with your aunt."

Xiuyao was noncommittal, but who knows, she asked, "What's the matter with you? You knew my aunt before?"

Sun Dacheng immediately froze again, "It's a long story, let me talk slowly."

It was still early, no one was walking on the road, and four lines of footprints were crushed under the thick snow blanket. Sun Dacheng seemed to have grasped the straw to save his life, and he did not hide anything, and told Xiuyao exactly.

Hearing Xiuyao laughing and sighing for a while, she was deeply moved, this is really dog ​​blood in reality, dog blood!

Speaking of the matter between Sun Dacheng and my aunt, in the eyes of Xiuyao, a modern person who is used to the world, there is really nothing to tangle with.

It's just that my aunt is an authentic ancient girl, and she is full of honor, so she will be scared to death if she encounters her.

On that day, my uncle passed by the river in Yangliu Village, and a group of women happened to be washing clothes by the river, and my uncle was among them, with a group of children playing in the water beside them.

Sun Dacheng fell in love with Liu Xu at a glance, looked at it stupidly, and wondered who the girl was, so that his aunt could propose marriage.

How did he know that those children were naughty, and when they saw him dumbfounded and looked at the big girl, they yelled at him and splashed water on him. He hid for a while, and the handful of water fell there.

The part where the water was splashed was a bit indecent, making it wet there, and Liu Xu waited for the woman to leave with the wooden basin. Sun Dacheng hurried to catch up to inquire about the news, but he bumped into his aunt all of a sudden.

My aunt lagged behind the crowd for convenience, and bumped into Sun Dacheng when she came out of the bushes. She saw that his place was wet, so she thought Sun Dacheng was playing a hooligan, and ran away after hitting him with a stick.

Then Sun Dacheng wanted to explain, but was entangled by a silly girl from another family at the street corner of the village. He insisted that he was molesting her and asked him to marry her, and now he was seen by his aunt again.Although he explained it clearly to the villagers later, and the family also said that their silly girl wanted to marry their son-in-law, and they would marry him when they saw a man all day long, but my aunt refused to let it go and decided that he was a bad guy.

In addition, later, the seventh grandma proposed to my aunt, and the aunt was accompanied by her grandma to go on a blind date by taking the opportunity of going to the market.And when Sun Dacheng found out that the man on the blind date was not a good guy, he hurriedly told his aunt and grandma that he would talk about this to Liu Xu while his grandma was exploring the way, how could Liu Xu listen to him? He smashed him with the basket, and fell to the ground accidentally. When Sun Dacheng helped her, he frantically touched her chest.

Liu Xu thought he did it on purpose, and hated him even more, but her marriage with that man was blown up, and because of this, she had a grudge against Seventh Grandma.

After finishing speaking, Xiuyao was so happy that she fell down, holding her stomach and wanting to fall into the snow.

Sun Dacheng looked at her wrongedly, "Yaoyao, don't laugh at me, you have to help me. I really like your aunt."

Xiuyao said mischievously: "Little uncle, what can you thank me for?"

Sun Dacheng immediately said: "I will spend my whole life treating your aunt well, and what's more, I will do whatever you ask me to do."

"Puchi", Xiuyao couldn't help laughing, "Little uncle, I don't need you to do anything for me, you just need to remember what you said today, and you will treat my aunt well. If you let her be wronged, you can Be careful."

Sun Dacheng immediately said with a serious expression: "I will definitely remember."

Xiuyao said: "Alright, wait for my good news."

Sun Dacheng was overjoyed, "Then I'll come back in two days."

Xiuyao is cold, little uncle, you are too anxious, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry! "Sure, let's wait until your blessing beans are sold out. Try to let my aunt go to your house for the New Year." After she finished speaking, she waved her hand, "Come on, if the road is difficult, go to my grandpa's house. Tell my grandpa not to worry. .”

After getting her assurance, Sun Dacheng left happily, but just after he left the village, he slipped and fell into a ditch beside the road.

Fortunately, there was snow and no water inside, so he hurriedly got up, patted the snow on his body, carried Fudou on his back, hummed a little song, and walked away briskly.
