The Liu family and the He family have been seeing a lot of people coming and going recently.
Those who came to seek medical treatment, those who came to express their gratitude, those who asked for medical treatment and thanked them but stayed to chat... The bustle once diluted the depressing sorrow caused by the natural disaster.
Within ten days, the juniors of Liu, He, and Su were as good as glue.
When the elders of the two families saw this scene, they laughed from ear to ear again, making everyone around them envious.
The two elders of the He family have recovered from the disease and moved out of the woodshed. However, their bodies and bones have been damaged by years of hard work and will still need to be recuperated for a long time.
October is full of autumn and the weather is starting to get cooler.
During the day, the sun was good, so the two elders would sit under the eaves of the courtyard to bask in the sun, chatting with the villagers who came to visit them.
"After all the hardships, you will enjoy the blessings in the future." A villager said with a smile, "So when people do things, they really have to be conscientious and accumulate virtue. There is really cause and effect... Some people do things too much, and this is not the case. As retribution, I sit in front of my house every day and curse God and mother."
"Are you talking about the family in Chenjia Village? Huh, she deserves it. That old godly woman in their family will definitely have a bad end in the future. Back then, she scolded the Su family's Xiu'er for not laying eggs. The Su family's front foot was exiled and the back foot tortured other girls. Fortunately, Xiu'er left. You have to hurry up, otherwise it’s really not worth staying here. His Chen De later married the distant niece of the old Qian Po’s mother-in-law. Guess what? She was also a powerful one, causing trouble in the Chen family every day!"
"It's not that one family doesn't want to enter the same house, that's right!"
The He family listened and didn't say much else.
They are outsiders of the Su family, and it is always not good to talk about this kind of thing too much.
What's more, the Chen family and the Su family have nothing to do with each other for a long time. Whether the Chen family is living well or not is another family's business. They can just have fun secretly.
Mrs. Wu brought warm tea from the kitchen and sat down to listen to the gossip. She couldn't bear it for a moment and pulled a stool to sit next to her mother-in-law. She lowered her voice and said, "Mom, Guang'er Ping'er is now with their cousin and cousin. You had a good time! Xiao An is now in the shipping business. I heard that many places in Greater Vietnam have their own docks and routes... Oh, I don’t understand those things as a woman. Anyway, I can make money. Mom, please tell me. Is it okay for Guang'er to be an errand boy for Xiao An? We don't ask for more, as long as he can earn enough to feed himself throughout the year and support his wife and children, how about that?"
Mrs. He is now over sixty this year. She has lived in poverty all her life as a farmer, but she has become seriously ill again, and the look of illness on her face has not faded.
Hearing this, the old woman gave her daughter-in-law an angry look and said, "Does mother know about your little thoughts? But don't mention it for now. The Su family remembers feelings, but we can't be greedy. You listen to mother, we won't mention it, Xiao An. They won’t watch Guang’er and Ping’er live in poverty, so how about taking Guang’er and the others to Fucheng to see them?”
Wu gritted her teeth and nodded, "Mom is right, I listen to you!"
If you don't mention it, don't mention it. Depending on the situation, even if Guang'er can't board the Su family's big boat, he can still pick up some small fish and shrimps to eat!
Enough is enough, don’t dare to be greedy!
Otherwise, if you overdo it, you will end up with nothing to catch.
The Chen family is a lesson learned from the past!
"Dad, Mom, I'm going to make some medicine for you! Call me if you need anything!"
Old Mrs. He and Old Man He looked at their daughter-in-law's back, shaking their heads and laughing.
This daughter-in-law has a lot of small plans on weekdays, but her heart is home, which is good.
It's a similar situation with the Liu family.
During these days, the eldest aunt and the second aunt of the Liu family were constantly following their father-in-law and mother-in-law, pointing eastward but not westward, being filial and attentive.
In the eyes of the juniors, it is funny and helpless.
In the carriage coming back from Fucheng, Liu Dazhuang was still complaining about his mother, "Cousin, why don't we go out for a while? It's still early, so we don't need to go back so soon. When we go back, our ears will be unclean. I never knew my mother before. So nagging."
Liu Xiaoniu strongly agreed, "When we were running with my cousins, the light in my mother's eyes was green, it was so weird!"
Both of them are grandchildren of Liu's family, and Liu Shitou and Liu Bangchui, who are in the same carriage, are from the second room.
Seeing that they were getting closer to home, the helplessness on the four of them was about to burst the carriage.
The three Su brothers couldn't stop laughing.
"People are so energetic when they hear that they can make money, how come they avoid making money when they come to your place?" Su An said with a smile.
Liu Dazhuang was helpless, "Who doesn't want to make money? It has to be that kind of material. Like me, I haven't even been to a private school, and I can count the words I can read on my ten fingers. How can I do something big with you?" I really can’t do it.”
"My eldest brother is more willing to go to the pier to carry sandbags, hahaha! Cousin, I am a little more ambitious than him. I can do errands and so on. You can use me if you see it. If not, forget it. I can also do big things. No."
Stone and Stick directly put their hands together and begged for mercy.
Today they went to visit their cousin's wharf base. After identifying the various types of work, they found that they could only move goods and carry sandbags.
Su An patted the four people on the shoulders one by one and said nothing else, "Okay, everyone has a sad face. Today we just went out for a walk to get some fresh air. Bai Yu wants to get some news, so he will take you to visit Fucheng along the way."
The four big heads of the Liu family turned to the back in unison. Bai Yu and the others were in the carriage behind. The little girl over there was laughing. She didn't know what they were talking about, but she was laughing so happily.
He Luping came from a girl's family. This time she was taken care of by her cousin, and she also saw Dafu City, and now there are still circles in her eyes.
"Fucheng is Fucheng. When there is a flood, the streets are washed away. Unlike in our village, after the flood recedes, the roads are full of things. My mother's house was washed away on the yellow mud road in the village. We have recovered most of the clothes, and she is so good that she can even recognize which bowl buried in the mud belongs to our family!"
Wheatear, "...poof!"
Bing'er, "Hahaha! Ping'er, your mother is so funny!"
"My mother is a picker. No one else can find anything in our house. I later found out that she had marked all the bowls and baskets in our house. Have you ever seen the chickens and ducks my family raised before? They always had missing marks on their necks and buttocks. A handful of feathers, my mother said, so that they won’t be confused with other people’s chickens and ducks, and no one who wants to get a single feather from my chickens will succeed.”
Even Tianbao couldn't help but laugh at this time.
Bai Yu was in charge of driving the carriage, which made everyone laugh and the carriage almost went down the ditch.
"Cousin, how long can you stay when you come back this time? Can you stay a little longer?" He Luping leaned close to her cousin, a little hopeful, with a hint of shame in her eyes, "I'm getting married in two months, it was decided early in the morning The date...the auspicious date for the marriage has been set and cannot be changed easily. I think my cousin can send me to get married."
