Chapter 38 - Grandma Wolf

When having breakfast the next day, Li Wanqing could clearly feel that her parents were in a good mood. Seeing that the corners of their mouths were always smiling, it didn't mean that they didn't smile normally, but that they didn't smile so much this morning.

"Father and mother, do you have any good business?" Li Wanqing couldn't help asking.

"Well, your grandma gave us an acre of paddy field last night." Li Rulin announced happily.

Uh, Li Wanqing is in a mess, didn't she just divide up an acre of paddy fields?Is it worth being so happy?But thinking about Deng's attitude towards their family before, and now taking the initiative to allocate an acre of paddy field to their family, does it mean that Deng does not hate their family as much as before?

Although Li Wanqing felt that Mrs. Deng was a stranger, she didn't feel bad for her, but thinking that Mrs. Deng was Li Rulin's biological mother, Lin Shuirou had always cared about Mrs. Deng's opinion. Since Li Rulin and his wife felt happy, she followed suit Bar.

"Really? Dad, grandma took the initiative to divide it?" Li Wanqing scorned her own pretentiousness.

"It was your grandma who took the initiative to divide it. Don't worry, your grandma won't come back to make trouble anymore." Knowing that the two children don't like Deng's coming and making noise, Li Rulin said with a smile.

Hearing Li Rulin's words, Li Muchen's eyes sparkled with joy, Li Wanqing smiled and said nothing, as long as Mrs. Deng didn't make trouble, she would respect Mrs. Deng as her own grandmother for Li Rulin's sake. She will not be polite if she comes over to make noise.

As for Mrs. Gu, she is not polite. She is concerned about Mrs. Deng because she doesn't want Li Rulin to be sad, but Mrs. Gu, she has no scruples at all.

When a person is in a good mood, he can see everything well, and even the sun that he sees every day feels brighter than before.

Taking advantage of the good weather, Li Rulin took Li Muchen to Qingshui Town to pull bricks in an ox cart.

Before leaving, Li Wanqing specifically asked Li Rulin to buy some snacks for Mrs. Deng to eat.

Li Rulin happily agreed, and took Li Muchen out of the door happily.

It can't be blamed on her not adding Deng's pension money, but that their family has a lot of money to spend, and they haven't lived well yet, so how can they take care of their family?

Li Wanqing can only start from other places, to honor Deng's grandma.

In the afternoon of that day, Li Wanqing also asked Li Rulin to give ten Wen to the family who borrowed the ox cart. After all, the ox cart belonged to others, and their family had borrowed it so many times, so they had to express it, so that it would be much easier to borrow in the future.

The next few days were very peaceful, and the whole family lived a very regular life. After breakfast, because the eight catties of dried fruit and jam to be handed over next month had been pickled, and Deng’s new distribution The rice in the one-acre paddy field has not been cut yet, and it will not really belong to their family until the rice is cut, so Lin Shuirou and Li Wanqing will go to the dry land to weed weeds after breakfast, and Li Rulin will still take Li Muchen to Qingshui Town to buy bricks, they have counted , Their family needs to build three rooms, one main room, and the kitchen needs to buy ten ox cart bricks and ten ox cart tiles.

The days passed quietly in the midst of busyness. On this day, Li Wanqing and Lin Shuirou stepped out of the courtyard with hoes on their shoulders. They saw an old woman about 60 years old coming to the gate of the courtyard. Her face was full of wrinkles. Seeing Lin Shuirou Rou Shi called out: "Shui Rou."

Behind the old woman stood a middle-aged man about 40 years old, taller than the old woman by a head, with a strong figure and a dark face, looking at Lin Shuirou longingly.

Next to the man is a woman about the height of the old woman, with a pair of small eyes and a pointed face, who is about 35 or [-] years old.

Seeing the three people in front of her, Lin Shuirou's eyes widened, she didn't even notice that the hoe in her hand had dropped, she just stared blankly at the three people standing at the gate of the courtyard.

Seeing Lin Shuirou's reaction, Li Wanqing was even more curious about the identities of the three. Who were these three people that made Lin Shuirou react so strongly.

"Xiaorou, my mother and I are here to see you." Seeing that Lin Shuirou was just staring at the three of them, the middle-aged man hurriedly said.

"Yes, Xiao Rou, for the past ten years, Mother has been thinking about you every day." The woman said with a smile.

Seeing the expressions of the three of them, Li Wanqing looked at Lin Shuirou again, only to see that Lin Shuirou's eyes were red and her lips were trembling as she wanted to say something, but she couldn't make an order for a long time.

"Mother, what's the matter with you?" Li Wanqing couldn't help asking Lin Shuirou worriedly.

When Li Wanqing asked, the tears in Lin Shuirou's eyes poured down, and finally uttered a word: "Mother—" At the same time as calling out Mother, with a plop, Lin Shuirou knelt down in front of the old woman.

mother?Li Wanqing listened to Lin Shuirou addressing the old woman, so this old lady is the grandmother of the original owner?And the middle-aged man behind the old woman is likely to be the original owner's uncle?
Li Wanqing was shocked, because the original owner didn't have the terms grandma and uncle in her memory. She always thought that Lin Shuirou had no relatives, but she didn't expect three of them to appear suddenly.

The people who came were Lin Shuirou's mother Ma Shi, eldest brother Lin Dalang, and sister-in-law Xiao Ma Shi.

Seeing Lin Shuirou kneeling on the ground, Ma Shi also shed turbid tears, Lin Dalang was so frightened that he hurried around Ma Shi to help Lin Shuirou: "Xiaorou, it's been so many years, mother has forgiven you a long time ago Come on, get up quickly, or it won't be good for my brother-in-law to see later."

Ma Shi didn't speak, just kept crying, but it didn't stop Lin Dalang from helping Lin Shuirou to get up.

After standing up, Lin Shuirou wiped away her tears, and said in a nasal voice: "Mother, brother, sister-in-law, come in and sit down, Qing'er, pour a bowl of water for your grandma, uncle and aunt."

"Yes, mother." Li Wanqing put the hoe back where it was, then went to open the door of Li Rulin and his wife's room, took three empty bowls from the temporary kitchen, and poured water for the three of them.

Mrs. Ma looked at Li Wanqing's good eyes, and asked, "Xiaorou, this is Xiaoqing. She has grown up so much. She is fifteen this year, right? She really looks like you when you were older."

"Yes, sister-in-law, she is Qing'er, who just turned fifteen this year." Lin Shuirou looked at Li Wanqing lovingly and said.

"Are you talking about your in-law's family?" Mrs. Ma asked with a smile again.

I don't know why, but among the three of them, she especially dislikes this aunt. It's the way she looks at her when she bids farewell, which makes her very uncomfortable.

Lin Shuirou smiled and didn't answer Mrs. Ma's words, but instead asked Mrs. Ma how the past ten years have been.

Mrs. Ma answered yes, but she missed Lin Shuirou very much.

Li Wanqing was very curious as she listened, since Mrs. Ma missed her mother so much, why didn't she come here for more than ten years?And her mother didn't seem to have returned to her mother's house?This is also very unusual.

After asking about the coldness and warmth, Ma's conversation changed, and he talked about Li Wanqing's building a house. This matter had already spread in the village, and Lin Shuirou couldn't hide it, so he admitted it.

"Well, it will be built once the busy farming season is over, and the bricks, tiles, and wood will be transported back first."

"Shui Rou, although the family has been doing well for more than ten years, your eldest brother still lives in a thatched house. Now, Dashu is seventeen years old and has passed the age of marriage. If there is no house, people come to see it, and they don’t want it.”

Hearing Mrs. Ma's words, Li Wanqing immediately woke up. Could it be that her grandmother wanted her family to pay for the construction of a house for her uncle by saying these words?Could it be that her grandma is a wolf grandma?
