house life

The two old men talked about simple daily life matters, but Shu Ling could feel their joy in enjoying their old age.

The old lady of the Liu family went to the Shu family with the Yang family's grandparents, and Shu Ling went to the kitchen to serve them tea.

Zhou Damei happened to be busy in the kitchen, Wang Zhi was standing aside choosing vegetables, and his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking about the arrangements for the family.

After Shu Ling entered the kitchen, Zhou Damei asked them where their grandparents had gone. Shu Ling smiled and said, "We went for a walk around the mountainside and happened to meet Grandma Liu, so we went home together."

Shu Ling poured two cups of hot water and took them out. When Zhou Damei heard her footsteps moving away, she and Wang Zhi sighed: "As long as I think about Ling'er getting married soon, I feel happy and reluctant to let go."

Wang Zhi understood Zhou Damei's mood very well: "Mom, Dabao'er told me that he is also reluctant to let my little girl go to other people's homes.

He also asked me if my brother could go to the city to see my sister-in-law if I didn’t see her for a week. "

"Ling'er is really good to the children.

When Ling'er came back, she would know how the Xu family treated her. "

Wang Zhi took over what Zhou Damei was doing: "Mom, there isn't much going on in the kitchen. You can go out and rest for a while."

Zhou Damei let go and said to Wang Zhi: "There are many people eating at home, and when you can't handle it alone, you have to call out."

"Mom, I know, my brothers and sisters will be in the kitchen soon."

Zhou Damei met Xiang Yu outside the kitchen: "Where is Qibao'er?"

"Auntie, he is playing in the backyard, and my mother is accompanying him."

Zhou Damei listened to her words and said with a smile: "They are going to watch the chickens."

Xiang Yu smiled and nodded. She is now used to living at home.

There are people to help take care of the children, and the elders in the family are kind-hearted, and the sisters-in-law are not lazy people. We all work on the house together, and the day passes quickly by talking and laughing like this.

Zhou Damei saw the two old people talking under the eaves, and then looked at Shu Ling who was sitting aside doing embroidery work. After saying hello to the old lady of the Liu family, she sat down next to Yang.

The old lady of the Liu family looked at Zhou Damei and smiled: "Damei, you have a capable daughter-in-law to help take care of the house. Don't worry too much. You should take a rest when you have time."

"The capable people in Fang'er's family don't need me to take care of things. I'm not free, I'm not used to it, and I have to find something to do from time to time."

Yang smiled and said to the old lady of the Liu family: "You know how she behaves. Ever since she got married, she has been working non-stop.

Our family used to be poor, but I can say that because of her, our family is a rare clean family. "

After hearing Yang's words, Zhou Damei quickly said: "Mom, I can't stand your compliments.

Before I got married, our family had a good reputation in the town.The matchmaker told my grandmother at the time that the Shu family was a rare family that loved to be clean. "

When the old lady of the Liu family talked about old things with the Yang family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she would also mention some people's affairs in the town.

They talked about the old things in a very vivid way.

When Shu Ling stopped to rest for a while, she happened to hear them talking about the most exciting part.

She asked curiously: "Grandma Liu, when Grandma Lin San of Dongtou was young, did she really chase Grandpa Lin San for three streets and break his legs with force?"

"No, they were fighting each other. The Lin family just chased them to the door of the yard and shouted twice, as if to say, if you dare to go out of the house, I won't let you go if you come back. When the neighbors next door heard their movements, they would naturally Talk to each other.

Later, I don’t know how it spread, but it was reported that Lin San’s family had broken one of Lin San’s legs. "

The more the old lady of the Liu family thought about it, the more funny she found it. Yang smiled and said, "A few days after this happened, Lin San broke a leg at home.

Everyone suspected that Lin San's family had broken one of Lin San's legs, but Lin San firmly said outside that he had broken his leg himself. "

The old lady of the Liu family told the Yang family: "I heard from the people who live next door to them that Lin San broke his leg on his own. At that time, Lin San's family was talking to her outside the courtyard door. When she heard Lin San's scream, she He also followed into Lin San’s home.”

Zhou Damei sighed and said: "Aunt Lin has always been kind and gentle. I can't imagine how powerful she was when she was young."

Yang said with a smile: "When Lin San was young, he was very playful and made people anxious. I can't blame the Lin San family for trying to control him at that time."

Shu Ling was somewhat interested in Lin San's grandmother. When she was young, Lin San's grandmother had such a lively and cheerful temperament.

"When I see the wise Uncle Lin now, I can't imagine that he would do stupid things when he was young."

The old lady of the Liu family sighed: "There were three confused people in the town back then, and Lin San was one of them.

He married a good wife and pulled Lin San out of the confusion.

If I were half as capable as the Lin family, our family would be living a good life. "

Yangshi and Zhou Damei exchanged glances. Yangshi smiled and said to the Liu family's old lady, "You are living a good life now. The people in your eldest family are capable and filial."

The old lady of the Liu family smiled and nodded: "I lived a hard and miserable life in the first half of my life, but I was very lucky to survive.

Now in my later years, relying on my sensible son and daughter-in-law, I can finally live a peaceful life for a few years, and I am content. "

After the old lady of the Liu family had another conversation with Yang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she and Yang made an appointment to go for a walk on the edge of the mountain tomorrow.

After the old lady of the Liu family left, Yang and Zhou Damei sighed and said, "Before old man Liu left, he was not willing to let her live a peaceful life for a few days, and he still wanted to call her by the name of the old people."

Zhou Damei and Yang said: "Everyone is curious about that woman, but there has been no news about that woman in these years. I'm afraid it's not good."

"She is already so old. When she left with others, someone said that her life would not be easy in the future.

She is only shrewd and thoughtful, and the man she is with is not an ordinary person who can run from other places to the capital at such a time.

And that man is not young anymore, he must be a man with a family. What will happen if she becomes a concubine? "

After listening to Yang's words, Zhou Damei nodded repeatedly and said, "No daughter from a good family will be a concubine."

When Shu Ling heard them talking about such things, she turned around and embroidered again.

Yang and Zhou Damei secretly exchanged glances. When the Xu family and the Shu family were discussing the marriage, the Shu family made a request that as long as Shu Ling got married and she had children, Xu Shaozhang was not allowed to take concubines.

The Xu family readily agreed. Xu Daoyuan said with certainty that there would be no children or grandchildren in their family who would take concubines.

When Shu Santie heard this, he was naturally happy.

But he later said to Gao Xiaorui: "The Xu family has this attitude, which makes people feel more at ease."
