fisherwoman

Chapter 57

Xiao Chengyu is her mother-in-law's biological son, so of course her status as a daughter-in-law is much closer to her than the two sister-in-laws!

Just as she was thinking about it, Mrs. Yang came out of the house with a red, somewhat old bag, opened it, and took out a red sachet from inside. A blooming peony is embroidered with gold thread, lifelike, and there seems to be a faint fragrance overflowing and scattered in the air.

Lin Xueman quietly looked at her mother-in-law's face. Seeing the serious expression on her face and her hands trembling a little, she couldn't help becoming nervous. What was she going to tell herself?

Is it the secret of Xiao Chengyu's life experience?No way?

"Daughter-in-law." Yang looked up at her, paused, as if to calm down the excitement in her heart, then took out a green jade pendant from the sachet, handed it to her, and said in a low voice, "This jade pendant It is a family heirloom of my natal family. I always wanted to leave it to Cheng Yu. I was afraid that he would lose it, so I never gave it to him. Now that he is married and a good wife, I feel at ease. You Now take it and let him carry it with him, this jade has spirituality, so it cannot be kept forever."

"I see. When he comes back, I will ask him to wear it." It turned out to be a jade pendant!Lin Xueman breathed a sigh of relief, took it from her mother-in-law carefully, and looked at it carefully. The jade pendant was green in color, with a translucent and moist texture, giving people a sense of simplicity and vicissitudes. What kind of beast is there, and there are several hieroglyphs on the other side, which she doesn't recognize either.The lower line of small characters seems to be a year, anyway, it feels like a good piece of jade, and it looks like a piece of good jade.

Although she doesn't know much about jewelry and jade, but based on her intuition, this jade pendant is not a vulgar thing, no matter the color or pattern, it is very noble.It seems that the mother-in-law's ancestors were not some idle generation, otherwise how could such a jade pendant be passed down from the ancestors!

"Daughter-in-law, although outsiders can't see the things you wear next to your body, if someone asks, you can say that your father gave you a dowry. Although mother is not afraid of what other people in the family will say, she just wants to keep her ears clean. As long as you and Cheng Yu know about the matter, I didn't tell anyone about this jade pendant except your father. Even the eldest and second sisters don't know!" Yang lowered her head and rubbed her hands, whispering.

so mysterious?

"Yes. I know mother, I understand." Lin Xueman hurriedly put away the jade pendant and smiled at her mother-in-law.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were speechless for a while.

"Then I'm going back, and I still have to clean up those little fishes. In a few days, Uncle Wang will be here too!" Seeing that Yang seemed to be lost in thought again, Lin Xueman hurriedly said goodbye.

This jade pendant is really unusual!

arrive home.She examined it carefully again before stuffing it into the cabinet.put away!

Lin Xueman just sat down and continued to scrub the clay pots when she heard someone knock on the door, wiped her hands, and opened the door to have a look.

I saw Wang Dahai standing at the door naively, holding a big porcelain bowl in his hand, which turned out to be a little turtle. When he saw Lin Xueman, he scratched his head and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, brother Xiao caught a turtle by the sea. Little turtle, let me take it home."

"That's right! Thank you, Dahai!" Lin Xueman's eyes lit up, and she quickly took it from his hand. The color of the little turtle's shell was intertwined with yellow and green, which was very beautiful. She greeted it as she walked in. Looking at Wang Dahai, he said, "Come in and have a seat!"

This was originally a polite remark, but who knows, Wang Dahai actually walked in, looked around the yard slowly, and quickly glanced into the old house, saw those clay pots, and asked suspiciously: " Sister-in-law, why did you buy so many clay pots?"

"There are a lot of small yellow croakers at home. I can't finish them. I'm going to marinate them and sell them." Lin Xueman took out a small clay pot from the house and put the little green turtle in it.

I took some water and poured it into the basin, the tortoise immediately became jubilant when it saw the water, and floated up and down, which was very interesting.

Seeing Wang Dahai standing in the yard, he went back to the house and got a bench for him to sit on.

"No, no, I just came in to look at these clay pots, I'll go now, I'll go now." He smiled and walked out while talking, but almost bumped into Xiao Yun head-on.

"It's you? What are you doing here?" When Xiao Yun saw him, he stared at him with almond-shaped eyes, and said angrily, "Did you lose your chicken again?"

"No, I'm here to deliver the turtle." Wang Dahai smiled kindly.

"Big sister, your third brother caught a turtle by the sea and asked Da Hai to bring it home." Lin Xueman explained.

"Why did I ask you to give it off!" Xiao Yun gave Wang Dahai a blank look when he heard this.

"I was cleaning the fish at the beach just now, and I was about to go back to the village. Your third brother asked me to bring it back, so, so, I sent it back." Wang Dahai scratched his head, looked up at her embarrassedly, and said falteringly. .

After finishing speaking, he gave Xiao Yun a shy look, and ran away as if fleeing.

"Bah." Xiao Yun pointed at his back, "I get angry when I see you, how dare you come to my house?"

"Okay, big sister, she was entrusted by your third brother, why are you angry!" Lin Xueman looked at her angrily and amusedly.

What a temper!

"Hmph! I just hate this fool." Xiao Yun muttered, closed the door, and looked at her mysteriously, "Sister-in-law, guess what kind of job I got in town? It's more expensive than embroidery." quick."

"How would I know? Tell me quickly, don't tantalize people." Lin Xueman continued to wipe the clay pots in his hand.

"I just wove sacks for others. They seem to be used to hold clay pots, but they are bigger than this clay pot, because he told me that the holes are bigger." Xiao Yun also rolled up his sleeves and sat down, helping her scrub the clay pots , "Weaving a sack costs a penny, and others supply the materials, so we just weave."

"How long and how wide?" Lin Xueman also became interested.

"He said it should be four feet long and three feet wide."

rectangular!

"Then how many threads can you weave a day?"

"I don't know, I guess ten items are not a problem."

"No way? You can weave so much?" Lin Xueman looked at her in disbelief.

"Don't forget, those sacks have big eyes. What else do I have to worry about?" Xiao Yun looked proud.

"Did you weave it for Huzi's family?" Lin Xueman asked suspiciously. She heard from Xiao Chengyu that only Hongtu Village in the town had that kind of soil for burning pots.

"Oh, sister-in-law, that's not it! It's true that it's the same village as Huzi, but it's really not Huzi's family." She paused, and then said, "It's Huzi's second uncle's family."

"Pfft!" Lin Xueman couldn't help laughing.

"What are you laughing at, sister-in-law, what's so funny." Xiao Yun also smiled and pushed her, "Okay! It was recommended by my third brother. I didn't do it myself. Isn't that okay?"

"Okay, okay, this job is really good, then you should do it well, does the second sister also weave?"

"Well, I'll let her stay with me." She said.Xiao Yun glanced at the old house again, and said in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, she said that she wants to get away, and she has nothing to do with Zhao Ziliang. It seems that she was really sad that day. Although the second sister is stubborn, she is not stupid."

"Really? That's great, I'm afraid she won't think about it!" Lin Xueman was overjoyed.

From the old man Ma's house next door, there were bursts of laughter, as if many people were talking in the yard.

"Sister-in-law, the old man next door hangs around the seaside all day long, and he doesn't know what he is doing. These days, he has a heated relationship with the old men in the village. He is also very talkative. In short, this person doesn't look like a villager. You said he came here. Why are you here?" Xiao Yun asked suspiciously when he heard the laughter.

"I think this person is a bit strange. He said he is retiring from his old age and returning to his hometown! He doesn't even have a family member, and he got along with the village as soon as he came. However, he said that he wanted to taste all the delicacies in the world, and he talked about eating everywhere he went. Maybe, He's just delicious."

"You're really right. He just eats with those old men, and he often cooks at home. Otherwise, why would those old men want to go to his house!"

"Maybe he was an official before, otherwise, how could he be so generous?" Lin Xueman recalled that his house was well-stocked and had everything to eat, in short, he was not poor.

"Well, I think so. It's good to have money! The weather will get warmer and warmer in the future. As long as we work diligently, we won't have to worry about money. Don't you think so?" Xiao Yun got up and cleaned the clay pot. Put it on the cylinder head and let it dry well, the hands and feet are really smooth.

"Well, let's compare and see who makes more money this year."

"Of course I can't compare to you, you are two people, you have a husband!" Xiao Yun smiled, his eyebrows crooked, and joked, "My third brother has been staying with you at home recently, why, you subdued him ?”

"What are you talking about? Can I subdue him? Stop teasing!" Lin Xueman's mouth curled into a smile, why did this sister-in-law say everything.

"I see, that's why he subdued you! Third sister-in-law, are you going to give me a little nephew this year!" Xiao Yun smiled happily.

"Oh, you still said..." Lin Xueman blushed.

"Don't talk, don't talk, sister-in-law, hurry up and work! It's almost noon."

"By the way, your third brother said at noon that he would bring Huzi back for dinner! I have to cook." Lin Xueman got up quickly, holding firewood and preparing to cook.

"Then I'll scrub these clay pots for you." Once Xiao Yun started to work, he couldn't let it go, wishing he could finish it right away and be at ease after cleaning it out.

Lin Xueman cooked the rice in the stove, and she also cleaned the remaining clay pots in the yard one by one, controlled the water, and tidied up the yard, making everything neat and tidy.

Which sister-in-law doesn't like such a sister-in-law?

Lin Xueman couldn't help feeling more fond of her in his heart, and even thought, if he meets Mrs. Xu in the future, he will try his words. Could it be that he doesn't have any feelings for Xiao Yun in his heart?

Isn't such a good girl good enough for him?

On the other side of the old house, there was also cooking smoke.

Xiao Qing stood in front of the small wooden door and shouted expressionlessly: "Sister, mother asked you to come back for dinner."

"Here we come." Xiao Yun clapped his hands and called out to Lin Xueman, "Sister-in-law three, I'm home, call me if you need something."

"Well, I'll marinate the fish this afternoon, and I'll call you when it's ready for canning." Lin Xueman poked her head out of the smoky stove and shouted.

After waiting for a long time, but they didn't come back, Lin Xueman couldn't sit still, so she locked the door and wanted to go to the street to see, why didn't she come back.

As soon as she walked out of the alley, she saw a woman walking towards her in a hurry. Seeing her, she hurriedly said, "Sister, hurry up and pack some clothes for your husband. They may have to go to Qianjiao Island and it will take several days before they come back." Woolen cloth!"

Lin Xueman recognized her as Xu Yougui's wife!

"Sister-in-law, where are they now?" Lin Xueman was taken aback, what Thousand Reef Island!How do you just leave?

"At the beach, I'm ready to go, pack it up quickly!" Miss Xu urged, only then did Lin Xueman realize that she also had a bundle on her arm.

"Okay, wait a moment." Lin Xueman quickly returned to the house, found Xiao Chengyu's clothes, wrapped them in a bag, and remembered that he hadn't eaten yet, so he took the prepared rice and the stewed chicken from the pot , I poured my brains into a porcelain basin, found a piece of cloth to cover it, and put it in a bamboo basket.

She turned around and went out the door, walked a few steps, suddenly remembered something, hurried back, took some broken silver from the cabinet, I don't know how much, wrapped it in a piece of cloth, stuffed it into the bag of clothes, Then he hurried out of the door, and hurriedly ran towards the seaside with Mrs. Xu.

As the saying goes, if a poor family is rich, they always have to bring some money with them when they go out. She has experience with this. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
