Chapter 6 Visit Aunt Liu

"Don't be mad, Auntie, what we're talking about now is Mr. Zhu's marriage. When the fourth younger brother comes back and sees Mr. Zhu is married, I think he should be in a hurry." Aunt Yuan comforted.

Mother Yuan handed the note with the date of birth to Aunt Yuan. "Aniang, there's no need to rush this matter. It still depends on fate. When fate comes, it can't stop it."

Mother Yuan was not in a hurry, she had decided early on to let these children decide on their own.

"Auntie, did you just say that the sister of the Wang family worked in the county?" Yuan Yuan raised his head and asked after he was full.

"Yeah, I'm working in a big family's house, and I came back because the family wanted to help with marriage. Does Xiao Liu also want to go to the county to see?" Aunt Yuan had a smile on her face, working in a big family's house must be an ingenuity. Yes, and the family conditions are not bad, so it is a good match.

"I also want to go and have a look. There must be a lot of fun and delicious food in the county. I wonder if that sister of the Wang family would like to take me with her." She smiled innocently.

"Xiao Liu, if you want to go to the county seat, the second brother can take you to see it, and tell the second brother what you want to eat and play." Yuan Qiansong took over.

Yuan Yuan has never been out before, so he really should take her out to have a look and have fun, and buy her some flowery skirts for little girls.

"Okay! Thank you, brother."

Yuan Yuan looked forward to it, she wanted to inquire about the news of the daughter of the Wang family.

Looking at her horoscope, when she was young, she would meet a marriage, and even show signs of giving birth to an heir. This is not a good thing for an unmarried girl.

This matter can't just let my cousin suffer in such a muddle-headed way.

Fortunately, the two families are just talking about their relationship, and they haven't settled the matter yet, so they just need to inquire and remind Auntie.

Yuan Yuan took another two mouthfuls of porridge and ate up the bottom of the bowl. "I'm full, I'll help wash the dishes!" She was going to the kitchen with the porcelain bowl, but was stopped by Mother Yuan.

"Give the bowl to Mother, Xiao Liu will go wash and sleep first."

Yuan's mother doesn't let Yuan Yuan work, she is just a delicate girl, how can she do rough work, otherwise why do she have so many brothers.

When soaking their feet at night, the brothers obviously felt a lot more relaxed, and all the fatigue was gone, but they didn't know why, only Yuan Yuan knew that it was all because of the Lingxi water in the well.

There are few rooms in the house, Yuan Yuan can only sleep with his mother, Yuan Yuan used to be stupid, Yuan's mother often couldn't sleep well at night, today it is rare to have a good sleep.

When she got up in the morning, Yuan's mother had already prepared egg custard for Yuan Yuan, and also prepared a small cloth bag for her, which contained some biscuits and eggs.

"Xiao Liu is going to Mrs. Liu's place today. If you're hungry, you'll know what to eat."

"Mother, I know, you don't have to worry about me." Yuan Yuan put on the small cloth pocket, she suddenly regained consciousness, mother was also worried about her, so she gave such careful instructions.

"Okay, you go with little four and little five, don't run around." Yuan's mother touched Yuan Yuan's face, today she has two jiujiu tied on her head, tied with a red string, very cute.

Mother of Yuan told Yuan Tongnian and Yuan Tongyue again. "Don't bother Aunt Liu, it's not easy for her to live alone. These are some mushrooms and vegetables from the sun at home. You two take them and give them to Aunt Liu."

"Good mother, I know." Yuan Tongnian took the small basket from his mother, and stuffed it into Yuan Tongyue's hand.

Yuan Tongyue: "?"

Letting him follow is a coolie, he wants to cry but has no tears, he can only swallow the pain in his heart.

Yuan Yuan held Yuan Tongnian in one hand and Yuan Tongyue in the other, walking between the two of them.

Aunt Liu's house is not far away, so Aunt Liu often comes to visit, always bringing eggs for Yuan Yuan to eat.

It is not without reason that she loves Yuan Yuan.

"Fourth brother and fifth brother, does Aunt Liu have no relatives?" Yuan Yuan asked.

"Yes, but they are gone." Yuan Tongnian replied.

Looking at Yuan Yuan's sad face, he thought Yuan Yuan was worried that he would have no relatives, so he comforted him. "Sixth sister, don't worry, the brothers will be with you."

Yuan Tongyue didn't have so many worries, he said it directly. "In the early years, Mrs. Liu had a daughter who disappeared, and then her husband also disappeared."

Yuan Tongnian glared at him and told him to pay attention to what he said. Yuan Tongnian shrugged. What he said was true, but it didn't sound good.

Yuan Yuan understands that he can't complain, that's right.

She saw Aunt Liu was entangled with resentment yesterday, and that was the reason.

Aunt Liu's daughter is not missing, but dead.

It was only because she was not buried well that there was resentment, so Aunt Liu was entangled in this resentment.

Yuan Yuan came to Aunt Liu's house with her two older brothers. Her family was no match for Yuan Yuan's family. There were several men in Yuan Yuan's family who could do farm work to subsidize the family. Aunt Liu had no parents or children. The husband has also disappeared.

She works alone to support herself, and the family's fields can't be taken care of, and a lot of them are desolate. She usually raises chickens, and sometimes the copper coins from selling eggs are not enough to support herself, which is really tiring.

Her house is also a small adobe house, with only a small yard and two small rooms, one of which was added by Aunt Liu when she had a child, but unfortunately no one lives in it now.

A small locust tree was planted in the small yard, it looked like it was old and hadn't grown too big, Yuan Yuan saw the sudden locust tree from a distance at that moment.

Before they reached the place, Yuan Yuan heard the clucking of a group of hens, and one of them ran out of the door and walked slowly with its neck stretched out.

It rushed towards Yuan Yuan, Yuan Yuan stretched out his hand to grab it, it ran away in panic, and finally the hen was driven into the yard by Yuan Yuan.

Aunt Liu was about to chase the hen out when she looked up and saw Yuan Yuan escorted by her two older brothers.

She hurriedly wiped her hands on her worn-out apron, which was still made of old clothes that could not be worn, and when she felt that she had wiped her hands clean, she stretched out her hand to Yuan Yuan, intending to lead her in.

Yuan Yuan handed over her hand without hesitation, Aunt Liu took her soft little hand, her heart softened along with it.

"Xiao Nian, Xiao Yue, you two don't stand there, come in and sit down." After Aunt Liu greeted them to enter the door, she saw Yuan Tongyue was still carrying something in her hand.

"Xiaoyue, put your things quickly. You two, don't bring your things when you're here. Next time your mother asks you to take things, don't take them. Don't get tired."

Yuan Tongyue put the basket in his hand on the small table next to the wall to ensure that the hens would not be easily pecked, and then he clapped his hands and returned to Aunt Liu with a smile.

"Ma'am, I'm so strong!" He patted his chest especially.

 The children of the aunt's family are cousins. The author was confused before and wrote cousins ​​by mistake. They will be changed to cousins ​​in the future. Thanks for the correction.

  The cousin of the aunt's family took the surname Mei from her father.
