Across the Market

Chapter 66

There was a light snowfall two days ago, and the weather became a bit colder. There are many rivers in the south, and they are always surrounded by mountains and rivers, so every winter is always very cold and humid. The wind blows on the face and there are knives. wearing the same.The children of rich families are better, there are always some rouge, cream and cream to take care of them, but these small houses in the market are different. Every winter, the girls in the family will turn blue on both cheeks from the cold, and some of them have special skin types, and even have birth defects. frostbite.

Not to mention the hands, they will itch when winter starts, and then when the weather gets colder, the fingers will become red and swollen, and then even the knuckles will become thicker, and then the flesh will rot.

The Zhu family's children were fine. When the family conditions were better, the Zhu family seldom let the daughters do heavy work. Compared with other families, the Zhu family's girls were pampered.Zhu Xi and Zhu Fu are alright, but the little sister Nuan, because of her fleshy body, or maybe because of her skin texture, her hands and face will be rotten every winter.

This time, Sister Nuan was looking up at her round little head. Although the head was wrapped in a square cloth scarf, the big bruises on Xiaorou's face were still clearly visible.

The little girl was stunned for a while, then she clapped her hands again and cheered, "It's Chinese New Year, it's really Chinese New Year. I'm so happy, our whole family can go to grandma's house together." Her chubby body was in the small yard After running around for two laps, a fierce man rushed over and hugged Zhu Fu Xiaoman's waist, and happily rubbed his second sister and said, "Second sister, today I am happier than New Year, because today not only can the whole family go to grandma's house, And I'm still going to pick up grandma into the city. Second sister, after grandma and brother Gui enter the city, will they never leave again?"

Zhu Fu hugged Brother Shou in one hand, and freed the other hand to gently pinch Sister Nuan's chubby face and said, "Yes, my father and mother took grandma to live in the city, of course they want grandma to live here in her later years Hey. And second uncle and second aunt Gui, as long as you meet each other in the future, just cross a river."

It was noon at this time, the sun was shining high, and the glaring white sunlight shone on the small palm-sized yard of Zhu's house, and it was warm everywhere.

Wei Sanniang was standing at the door of the house, holding a sieve full of dried red peppers in her hand, she was stunned for a long time when she heard the second woman's words suddenly.

In fact, these years, she is really not a competent daughter-in-law. Although she has never lost money to honor her mother-in-law every month, for 20 years, her mother-in-law has always lived with the second child's family.When she went back before, she knew that some people in the village would often point and point at her behind her back, but it was the same in person.

The family is so small, even with my mother-in-law here, there is no place to live.And their husband and wife are busy every day, and the youngest children in the family are brought up by the eldest daughter, so they really don't have time or place to come.

Later, my husband hurt his body from work, not to mention, during those two months, the family almost couldn't get rid of the pot.

It's strange to say that since Ah Fu fell into the water, his whole temperament has changed.Not only is she much more lively and charming, but she also has more ideas, and she is so clever that she is not like the old Ah Fu.Thinking of this, Wei Sanniang raised her head and looked in the direction of her second daughter, and saw that she was smiling and hugging brother Shou, while sister Nuan was circling around her, the three siblings were very happy.

Wei Sanniang suddenly felt much better, walked down the steps, called Zhu Xi, the eldest daughter who was busy cooking in the kitchen, and said, "Sister Xi, where is your brother?"

Hearing the sound, Zhu Xi came out, wiped his hands on the apron tied around his waist, then stretched his head to look at the blacksmith shop in front, and seeing no one there, he said, "Brother isn't forging iron in front, it should be at Brother Shen's house next door." Right. He just hired a car and came back, I remember what he said, it's time to go to Shen's house. "

Just as they were talking, Zhu Lu and Shen Yulou walked in together. Shen Yulou still had a crossbow on his waist.

Zhu Lu walked up to Wei Sanniang, Hei Jun had an uncontrollable smile on his face, and he said: "Mother, Yulou said he has a bow and crossbow, and also heard that we are going to Jitou Mountain to hunt wild boars, he said I want to go with us."

Wei Sanniang looked at Shen Yulou, this child was born well since he was a child, and his temperament is surprisingly gentle, no matter who he sees, he always has a smile on his face.He was about the same size as his own son. The two played together when they were young, and went to private school together when they were older. Later, my son couldn't read anymore and started to work with his father. Because of his good studies, this child was selected as a scholar at a young age.

Later, I heard from Mrs. Shen next door that Yulou went to Jinling Academy to continue her studies because she was appreciated by a certain nobleman.I have been thinking about it for three years, and seeing it again now, it is really different.

After all, people who have stayed in big places have different manners and demeanor.

I remember when I was young, my two daughters always liked to stick behind him, he could play with anyone, and he taught Sister Xi and Sister Fu how to write.

A few days ago, Sister-in-law Shen jokingly said that Yulou, her home, was nineteen years old because of her studies and hadn't yet asked for a daughter-in-law.But looking at it now, I'm afraid he doesn't like Sister Xi. If he passes the exam and becomes an official, even if he is worthy of the daughter of a rich family, he will be no match.

Thinking like this, Wei Sanniang rested her mind, turned her head to Zhu Xi and said, "Hurry up and boil water, pour hot water for Yulou to eat, and warm your body."

Shen Yulou bent slightly towards Wei Sanniang, and said politely: "Aunt Zhu, you don't have to be so polite, I'm not thirsty." He straightened up again, with one hand hanging by his side, and the other lightly resting on it. On a crossbow slung around his waist, he squinted and asked with a smile, "Auntie, how is your health recently? I look pretty good, and she's still as young as ever."

Wei Sanniang is nearly forty years old, she has been outstandingly beautiful since she was a child, even though she is already the mother of five children, her figure is not out of shape, but she is not the wife of a rich family, no matter how beautiful her face is, she cannot stand the wind After being exposed to the sun, wrinkles gradually appeared on that face.

She can see it, although these years have been hard, but the five children are obedient and sensible, and the husband is honest and honest and treats her very well. The whole family is always very happy when they are together.
