Pastoral Trifles: The Poor Girl Turns Over

Chapter 22: Family Thanksgiving 3
The three of them finally stopped in a large courtyard with high walls. Unlike the blue tile walls of her house, the courtyard walls here are inlaid with large stones. The door was so red that it looked like it had just been oiled. Xu Ruyun stepped forward and knocked on the door twice. , I heard someone promised to come over.

The person who opened the door was a woman in her thirties, with single eyelids and a small mouth, she was pretty and pleasant. When she saw Xu Ruyun, a smile immediately appeared on her face: "Sister, you are back!"

Then he yelled into the house again, "Father and mother, my eldest sister is back!"

"Little sister!"

Xu Ruyun was also very happy to see the visitor, and pulled Cheng Huan and Cheng Jia forward, "Don't call anyone yet!"

Seeing that Cheng Jia was equally nervous, Cheng Huan greeted her first, "Hi, Auntie! I'm Cheng Huan!"

"Hello, auntie, I'm Cheng Jia!" Cheng Jia also greeted, the younger sister of the Xu family, Xu Rufeng immediately squatted down and lifted the hands of the two girls, and looked carefully: "They are so big, they look so good-looking!"

"My aunt looks better!" Cheng Huan said sweetly, Xu Rufeng pinched her little face happily, and Cheng Huan grinned, a little depressed.

After Xu Rufeng shouted to the inside, a full two minutes passed, and no one came out of the room, which showed that they were not welcome.

Xu Ruyun stood at the door and didn't know what to do for a moment, Xu Rufeng took her hand and smiled and let her in: "Sister, let's go in!"

"En..." Xu Ruyun agreed to look at the two girls, took their hands, and followed Xu Rufeng into the door.

Cheng Huan lowered her head and looked at Xu Ruyun's hand holding her tightly. The weather is not cold, but she could feel Xu Ruyun's palms sweating. It seems that this trip home is not easy.

After entering the door, Cheng Huan began to look at the yard. There were six large tile-roofed houses on the front, and two wing rooms on the right and left sides. The yard was also very large, with peppers, corn, lentils and other crops hanging, and planted on the east side. The two persimmon trees look very lush.

After walking not far, I saw a woman wearing a pink satin gown, a dark green skirt, double eyelids, a small thin mouth, and a big belly came out of the side room, holding a bowl of fragrant broth in her hand, She is the second daughter-in-law of the Xu family, named Li Cuilan.

"Oh, the elder sister is here, she must be here to pay back the money?!" Li Cuilan was bitter as soon as she spoke, and looked Cheng Huan and Cheng Jia up and down unkindly.

Xu Ruyun's complexion immediately turned ugly. The two girls came here once when they were very young. How can an aunt have such an attitude, but she politely asked the two girls to call someone, and said coldly: "Jia'er, Huan'er, what's the matter with you?" It's your second aunt, call someone!"

"Hello, Second Aunt!" Cheng Jia said obediently.

Cheng Huan took a step forward and looked at Li Cuilan's stomach. Judging from Xu Ruyun's attitude, although this family is not good to her, she can't let it go completely. Kick this woman against the wall.

Just look at her mother, let her go for the sake of her pregnancy!

"What are you doing?!" Li Cuilan took a step back and cast a displeased glance at Cheng Huan.

"Second aunt, you are a male fetus!" Cheng Huan looked at Li Cuilan firmly, Li Cuilan was taken aback for a moment, then a smile appeared on her face, and she covered her mouth and said, "Hehe, many people say that!"

"Second aunt's belly is round, it must be!" Cheng Huan said again, seeing her holding a bowl of broth, her face was as round as a fat pig, and asked after her: "Second aunt often Hungry, like to eat meat?!"

Being exposed by Cheng Huan, Li Cuilan thought that Cheng Huan meant that she was greedy, so she casually agreed, "Yes."

"That's right. The second aunt is pregnant with a boy. Naturally, she's very hungry. She wants to eat something good! I've heard many women in the village say it, so it's accurate." Cheng Huan said with a smile, his big eyes narrowed into friendly Looking at Li Cuilan's stomach gently.
