Hou Men Splendid

Chapter 17

The banquet was over, and the three sisters went back to the Lin Mansion directly, instead of going around to say goodbye to the eldest sister. Lin Qingyan was afraid that she would directly talk about this matter with her eldest sister if she was angry, and in the end it would make her sad.

On the carriage back home, Lin Qingyan finally calmed down her emotions, and warned the two younger sisters, "You can't tell your parents what the eldest sister saw, and what Miss Qin said, do you understand?"

Lin Qingxuan and Lin Qingran nodded, Lin Qingyan lifted the curtain of the car and took a look outside. It was sunny in the afternoon, so she simply put up the curtain, let the wind blow into the carriage, looked at the two younger sisters, and sighed, "Is there so much trouble when you're married?"

What Lin Qingyan doesn't understand, especially Lin Qingxuan, who is her younger sister, and Lin Qingran, who should understand a little bit given her age, is a real layman. She has never been in a serious relationship, and the troublesome thing about being married is now a pure spectator.

The attitude of the He family, seen from the eldest sister who was married for more than a year, has changed Lin Qingran's thinking a lot. The life style of father and mother is probably very rare in this city of Luodu. .

Father's birth and mother's circumstances made all of this look different. The living atmosphere of the Lin family is different from those of those aristocratic families. If father and mother were married separately today, it would not be like this .

The three sisters had their own thoughts. On the way back, Lin Qingyan occasionally expressed emotion, but she didn't talk much. It was obviously affected by the unhappy mood of the eldest sister in the He family.
Back at home, I briefly talked to my mother about the He family's affairs, and I picked the best ones. The San San was very lively and there were many people there. The second wife of the He family still attached great importance to the newly born eldest granddaughter. Lu Shi listened. I feel relieved a lot, let them go back to rest earlier, and the next full moon wine can let the husband go, but the eldest nephew's marriage at the end of February needs a few children to replace it.

I called Ms. Wang to come in and inquire about the situation of my little nephew's house. After the Lantern Festival, Lin Xujia moved here, and now the academy has been gone for more than half a month. Every few days, she will send someone to inquire about what is lacking. Get ready in time.

Mrs. Liu also often goes to that house these days to accompany her grandson to study. Lin Wenxi also sent someone to open up a small vegetable garden in that house. I also went to the street to choose a lot of seeds, and I plan to grow some in the small vegetable garden for myself.

After Mrs. Lu gave birth to two sons, the atmosphere in this family seemed to suddenly become very good. When I went to my mother-in-law to say hello, Mrs. Lu never heard a word of running on her again. The youngest one is here.

Sometimes Mrs. Lu passed by alone, and Mrs. Liu would talk to her about her husband's childhood, and the pride in the words could not be concealed, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have never been so friendly, it can be said that it has been 17 years the first time.

Lin Wenxi always smiled, two sons came, it was two little lucky stars who made their Lin family more and more peaceful.
In a blink of an eye, at the end of February, Lin Xutao's marriage was attended by the entire family this time. Lin Wenxi had no time to go back to attend the wedding of his eldest nephew, so Mrs. Liu took her four granddaughters to go. It's not easy to take care of them. On February 26, there were three carriages at the gate of the Lin family, and Mrs. Lu personally sent them out.

After this round, Lin Qingran was the youngest, so she sat in a carriage with her grandmother Liu in the front, and the three older sisters sat in the carriage at the back. All the way past, Lin Qingran and her grandmother had nothing to say.

I'm really not used to it. Although my grandmother's attitude towards them has improved these days, the impression left by the past six years is difficult to change.

But when the carriage ran out of Luodu City, Lin Qingran had no time to think about it, and she started to get motion sickness.

Mrs. Liu quickly noticed her slightly pale face, pulled her over and hugged Lin Qingran in her arms without saying a word, patted her on the back and coaxed, "What are you sad, it will pass after a sleep. "

For the first time, Lin Qingran discovered that her grandmother's arms were so wide, not as gentle as her mother's, but very thick, enveloping her.

The frozen body didn't last long. As the carriage ran longer and longer, Lin Qingran became more and more uncomfortable. Liu patted her on the back. After a while, Lin Qingran fell asleep .

When she woke up, the carriage was approaching the town. Thinking that it would be there soon, Lin Qingran's spirit improved a lot, and she struggled to get out of Liu Shi's arms. Liu Shi touched her hair, "Are you refreshed?"

Lin Qingran nodded embarrassingly, still a little dazed, Liu suddenly smiled, "It's still like your father, who was dizzy from the first time he rode a cart when he was a child."

As soon as Lin Qingran's eyes lit up, her attention was attracted. Liu changed her posture, leaned on the soft cushion, and pulled her and her close together. Then she talked about the past, "When your father was born Two years, it coincided with a drought year, the harvest was halved, and I could hardly drink rice soup, and I had no milk, so I had to borrow it from my employer, and the Xi family dragged your father to more than one year old, so I really couldn't live. Your grandfather just wanted to go to the mountains to dig some mountain products and sell them. He had a good idea. Anyway, the land at home was also dying of drought. The first few times he went there, he really dug up something. It’s alright, once your grandfather went into the mountains, he didn’t come back alive.”

The family suddenly lost a pillar, the eldest son is only five years old, and the youngest son is only two years old. How are we going to live these days? Lin Qingran raised her head to look at her grandmother, and Liu's eyes looked at the shaking curtain, as if thinking about the past, " Your father has been smart since he was a child, and he spoke early, and he knows everything as soon as he is taught. When your grandfather was alive, he was always nagging me. In the future, you must let your father go to school, let him be promising, give us The Lin family's glorious ancestors, married a daughter-in-law from the city, and gave birth to a bunch of grandchildren for him, and wanted to leave the village to earn face for our Lin family."

Lin Qingran suddenly felt sour in her heart, and her eyes gradually became moist. For some reason, her grandmother's voice was so close, but it reached her ears a little far away, "If we can't open the pot at home, I, Liu Lihua, have to let your father go to study. , your father also lived up to the expectations of your grandfather and me, and he has earned a lot of face for our old Lin family. Now that we have children, and your grandfather is here, I think he will be happy from ear to ear."

When Liu said this, she patted her thigh, her tone was uniquely relaxed and happy, Lin Qingran clearly saw that tears were about to fall from the corners of her eyes when she was talking, she retracted it in a blink of an eye, when she looked at her Another smile on his face.

This image of a happy and cheerful old lady is completely different from the impression my grandmother gave her in the past six years. Could it be that because my mother gave birth to two younger brothers, my grandmother's disposition suddenly changed drastically.

Lin Qingran couldn't help but muttered, "Then you didn't like us so much before."

"Your mother can't give birth to a son, and she can't continue the incense for your father. She gave birth to seven of you girls. If you marry someone in the future, you will be someone else's daughter-in-law who will give birth to someone else's family. What can I be happy about?" Liu said, He poked Lin Qingran's forehead to express his dislike for the series of seven fairies.

Lin Qingran now understands that her grandmother hasn't changed, the seven sisters and mother are all thanks to the blessing of their two younger brothers, and they fell in love with her by the way.

After a while, the town arrived. They got off the carriage and wanted to stay at the uncle's house in the town for one night, and then went to the village the next day. The eldest brother was going to hold the wedding in the village.

It was already afternoon when we left Lin's house early in the morning and arrived in this town in the afternoon. After driving for a long time, I was tired. After washing up, Lin Qingran lay down on the bed and fell asleep again. She refused to get up after dinner, and woke up in the middle of the night hungry. Mother Li also knew what kind of temperament she was, so she warmed some porridge for her, and Lin Qingran drank a bowl and a half of the pickled radish slices for her, rinsed her mouth in a daze, and then fell asleep.

When I woke up again, it was already broad daylight.

This time, there were many people going to the village. Those who came to buy things in the town the day before stayed there until the next day. Before dawn, they would buy the freshest vegetables in the town market and put them on the oxcart, waiting for Lin Qingran. They were ready to come out, and all the shopping here was ready, and they set off to the village together.

The excitement on the road made Lin Qingran forget about her discomfort. When she arrived at the entrance of the village and walked all the way, it was as if the whole village was having a wedding.

After getting out of the carriage, red lanterns were hung up at the gate of Lin's house early on, and Double Happiness was pasted on it. When they walked into the yard, the flower pots had been moved to the side, and the whole yard was filled with tables, all covered with red cloth. There are people coming and going, and there are children running around, so it's very lively.

Lin Qingran followed her sister to the house first, changed clothes and came out. The eldest aunt was dressed festively, and was cheerfully greeting guests.

It's also not good to get too close to the people in the yard. The four sisters simply stayed in the yard and did not go out. Lin Qingran picked up a book and read it, and didn't go to the front hall to eat until dinner.

After dinner, it was dark and there were still many people in the yard. Lin Qingran took Siqin and Siqi to the village for a walk to digest food. At this time, the village was already lit. The dim light from the window contrasted with the dim sky, making it even more peaceful.

Lin Qingran was walking towards the village. There were not many people on the road. Looking back, she could still hear the bustling sound coming from the Lin house. Ran's gaze passed the low fence gate and just passed there, and she saw a young man standing at the gate holding a basin, clogs on his feet, his trouser legs and sleeves rolled up, as if he was about to pour water.

Looking at each other, the two of them were stunned. Lin Qingran turned his head and went back to the Lin's house to avoid suspicion. The young man quickly poured the water, and his face was a little embarrassed. He hurried into the room and slammed the door. closed.

The woman who was boiling water in the kitchen came out to look when she heard such a loud commotion, and saw a puddle of water in front of the door of the house, the door was closed tightly, and there was still a figure on the window, so she shouted, "Meng'er, what's going on?" ?”

There was some movement in the room, and the door opened again. The young man glanced into the distance, but he couldn't see clearly in the darkness. He only felt that the sight just now was very familiar. He shook his head at his mother who cared about him, "It's okay, there are bugs, my mother. Go in and read, the exam is coming soon."

"Hey, you can go and see. There is a lady named Chongzi who will find grass for you to burn. You can read a book at ease." The woman nodded and went back to look for things in other rooms. The young man turned around and entered the room.
