"My father is gone, and my mother has been hit hard this time." Qiu Defu said while putting on his straw sandals.
Mrs. Chen was leaning in front of the bed doing needlework, while Baoyu sat on the futon and ate eggs in small bites.
Qiu Defu smiled and touched her head: "Does it taste good?"
Three-year-old Qiu Baoyu nodded and said in a waxy voice: "Dad, eggs are so fragrant. Will grandma give me eggs in the future?"
Qiu Defu glanced at his wife and said, "Of course, grandma likes our Baoyu the most. Baoyu is so good! Daddy has gone to the fields. Please stay home and don't make trouble with your mother!"
Seeing that his wife still didn't speak, Qiu Defu said, "I'm on the ground. My mother has a bad mouth but not a bad heart."
Chen didn't even raise his eyelids, so Qiu Defu had no choice but to go out and go to the ground.
The thought of the anger she felt when giving birth to Baoyu was still stuck in her heart.
Just because Baoyu was born a daughter, her mother-in-law didn't want to see her. She wasn't allowed to eat the eggs sent by her parents' family. Her man secretly cooked two and she found out, and they started a quarrel.
At that time, Ms. Chen had just gotten married and was still a bit temperamental. She immediately went to the village chief for comment. The village chief told her a few words about what she did.
It scares me to think about it now.
Mrs. Chen touched her belly and murmured to herself: "It must be a son this time, otherwise it will be even worse in the future."
Other people's mother-in-law would cry, make trouble, and hang herself, but Li Yunlan's rogueness lies in making the other party suffer.
At that time, Mrs. Chen went to invite the village chief, who came to reason. Qiu Laosan was still alive at that time, and he was so ashamed that he had nowhere to hide.
But Old Mrs. Li was so stunned that she knelt down to Mrs. Chen in front of the village chief.
Then the wonderful show begins.
"It's me, a bad old lady, who didn't count. I'm going to apologize to Second Grandma. I kowtow to Second Grandma. I beg Second Grandma to forgive me. For the sake of my old age, please give me a way to survive. Second Grandma will just take care of herself if she is wronged." Spreading it on me, an old woman, I just want Second Grandma to calm down."
Then she started to slap herself in the face. This frightened Mrs. Chen and she sat on the ground. She lost all her temper. If this spread, she would not be able to survive.
After the village chief left, the old lady started to get angry: "Okay, that's great. I didn't realize that the Chen family's daughter was raised so well and yet she dared to sue her mother-in-law. That's what your mother is like." They taught you, if you are so proud after giving birth to a girl, do you deserve to eat the eggs? I’m not afraid of choking you to death, go ahead, call your mother and I, and I’ll ask if they taught you.”
Then he didn't wait for her during the confinement period. There was still a lot of work to be assigned. When he saw her, he said angrily: "Greetings to Second Grandma, what's wrong with Second Grandma? It's not relaxing there anymore. Why don't you sit down, old lady?" Are you beating your legs?"
Mrs. Chen's eyes were red and she didn't dare to say anything. The old lady's eyes just stood up: "The second grandma is the hero who gave birth to the girl. If people see it, she will make me disrespect you. How dare you shed tears in front of me."
In this way, Mrs. Chen was completely submissive to her, as if she was avoiding a cat and mouse.
As long as Qiu Defu dared to defend his wife during this period, the old lady would just follow the same pattern: "Now that the second master is old and can no longer take my mother's milk, what else do you want from your mother? I will hang myself as soon as possible so that I can win the second master's heart." Woolen cloth."
From then on, the old lady beat her son and scolded her daughter-in-law at home, and lived a life of self-respect.
When it comes to the old lady's record, she ranks among the best in Xiaoliu Village.
Now that Old Man Qiu is gone, Li Yunlan has also changed the core. He suddenly gave up the eggs today, which somewhat surprised the children.
The two sons felt that my mother had suffered too much because their father was gone.
The two sons went to work in the fields, and Chen's belly was too big, so all the housework fell on the eldest daughter-in-law. In addition to chickens, ducks, and two pigs, she also had to wash, rinse, and work on the vegetable patch.
Li Yunlan walked out of the house and took a walk in the front and back yards. In his early years, old man Qiu was pulling a car. He didn't know what chance he got. He earned some money and bought five acres of land to build a big house. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let the original owner take care of him regardless of their age difference. She got married.
Not bad, old man Qiu is a bit ugly, but he can work well and obeys the original owner's instructions.
There are three main rooms, three smaller side rooms on the east and west sides, and then a courtyard is enclosed. It is a typical farmhouse triple courtyard, with chicken coops, duck coops, and pig pens all in the backyard.
Li Yunlan went to the backyard to take a look. When the two pigs saw someone coming, they thought they were going to be fed. They scrambled to climb up the pig pen, which shocked Li Yunlan. Although she had lived in a rural area when she was a child, it was just a new rural area and she had never seen any pigs raised. pig's.
"Haha! It's quite fat. It's scary that I roasted it all for you."
After scaring the pigs, I looked at the chickens and ducks. There were not many chickens and ducks, but they were well kept and cleaned very clean. Mrs. Liu is very capable!
There are also two jujube trees in the backyard, with countless small and exquisite flowers dotted among the green leaves.
After passing through the small door and walking back to the front yard, Ms. Liu was coming back from outside, carrying pearls on her back and a basket on her shoulder.
Six-year-old Chengcai carried a basket of pigweed on his back and pulled the bright moon.
When Li Yunlan saw it, he immediately stepped forward to unload the basket on his eldest grandson's back, then turned to Mrs. Liu and said, "He is only a young boy, so he carries the basket on his back, and be careful not to hold it down for too long."
Then he went to put the pearl back, but the poor pearl was covered with sweat by Mrs. Liu with a cloth behind her back.
Li Yunlan tossed the cloth and said: "You want to cover my granddaughter! You see, the child is too hot. From now on, when you go out to work, leave the child at home and I will watch over you. Oh, you poor little one. Grandma will hold you and wipe her."
Mrs. Liu was so shocked by her mother-in-law's action that she froze on the spot. When she came to her senses, Pearl and Mingyue had already been dragged to the main room by her.
When Li Yunlan arrived at the house, she wiped Pearl's body, changed her clothes, and carried her to bed: "Oh, my little cute little fleshy little one, give me sister... uh... grandma, squeeze your little face."
Among the grandchildren in the family, Pearl is the cutest, with a chubby little face that makes people want to pinch it.
The others are all skinny, but the child is indeed the most painful because of his chubby flesh.
Two-year-old Pearl couldn't speak clearly yet. Mingyue sat aside obediently. When Li Yunlan saw her, she had the urge to please.
He went to the table to get a comb and combed her hair again. The little girl had good facial features since she was a child. She looked like a beauty at first sight. Fortunately, Qiu Laosan's genes were not strong and she had to look like him. Even if the heroine met a man The Lord is useless.
Mingyue is quite a grown-up girl, she combines the advantages of the whole family, otherwise she wouldn't be the heroine.
"Milk, you have a rest, I'll take my sister to play." Mingyue said, blinking her big eyes.
Fortunately, it's too late. As long as you treat her well, you won't be fed poisonous wine in the future.
Then Li Yunlan took out four pieces of candy from the cabinet, gave one piece to Pearl, and gave three pieces to Mingyue.
"Xiao Mingyue, go and give one piece to your brother, one piece to Baoyu, and finally keep one piece for yourself."
When Mingyue saw the candy in her hand, her eyes lit up, she nodded and ran out.
Children are really easy to coax.
