Chapter 78 Mother, Why Are You Here?
On Xiaonian's day, Yuansi took the old lady to cook a table of delicious food, and specially steamed a pot of rice.

Since Yuansi went to Suzhou, the white noodles at home are enough to eat, but she doesn't buy much rice in Su, which is only enough for the occasional tooth festival.

"Sier!" The old lady called affectionately to the little girl who was working hard, her eyes were filled with relief and melancholy.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Yuansi looked up.

"Looking at the Chinese New Year, I think our family is passing by now, so I want to visit your two sisters' homes, what do you think?" The old lady listens to the little girl now, especially The wealth of the family is brought by the little girl, so if you want to send something to the other two girls, don't you have to ask.

Fearing that the little girl would disagree, she hurriedly said: "In the past, your two sisters came all the way to see me. At that time, our family was poor, and I knew they were in difficulty, and I couldn't help them. Now we have you in our family. With the help of the master, it is much better than before, so I want to take some things to see them, let their in-laws have a look, and give them support."

The old lady hadn't heard the little girl mention her brothers and sisters for more than half a year, and she was afraid that she would use the little girl's things to help other children, and she would have some thoughts in her heart, so she spoke cautiously.

Although Yuansi is somewhat independent, the old lady is not too fussy about getting something, and she recalled the two sisters who married far away, and tried to give her some delicious food every time they came back, sometimes it was just a piece. The melted fruit candies are not very valuable, but it can be seen that they have tried their best.To sum up, they treated the original owner well, much more decent than the second sister in the city, so she agreed to give them something.

"You can decide these things, I have no objection."

The old lady felt relieved when she heard what her daughter said. She thought that when the youngest daughter was born, both daughters had already married and had children. I don't have much contact with her, and the little girl is separated from her two sisters.

"Haha, that's good. I don't need to bring too many things. Our family has a lot of noodles. Take [-] catties of white noodles for their family. Isn't there a few pieces of bacon hanging in the firewood room? I don't think you like it either. , just take it with them. You don’t like to eat the old candies you bought, so you can share them with your nieces and nieces.” The old lady happily began to think about what to bring the girl.

"Let's prepare one for the second sister too." Yuan thought as if she had said that if she had food, she would return the food to Li Yuan's family.

"Ah?" The old lady didn't realize it. The second child's family lives in the city, and the food is richer than theirs.

"Didn't I go to her house to live for two months? After eating her food for two months, I have to pay back the food. You can mail her twenty catties of flour." Yuansi calculated carefully that she was in Li Yuanai's house. How much food she ate in total, and she was cruel enough to make up the whole thing. She would rather give one or two more than let people say that she is not particular. She is not the kind of person who takes advantage of others.

That night, the mother and daughter started to pack their things, and put all the food for the three daughters into two baskets. The next morning, Zuo Daya went to talk to Chen Fengzhen, then locked the door and took the little ones with them. The girl is out of the village.

First of all, the two of them went straight to the county seat. When they arrived at the county seat, they went to the post office to post the [-] catties of white flour for Li Yuanai. By the way, there was also a letter from the old lady begging someone to write. Xiao Si ate food for two months.This was specially requested by Yuansi.

After paying the postage, Yuansi took the old lady to the bus station, bought a ticket and went straight to the house of the third daughter, Li Yuanshan.

Li Yuanshan married far away, so it was not easy to go there. She had to go through the arduous journey of walking, riding, and walking, and it took a whole day to get there.

The car at noon, after a whole afternoon in the car, finally arrived at the place before the sun set.

After the old lady got out of the car, she spat at the rear of the car, "What kind of broken car is going to knock me to death. I spent a few dollars in vain. It's better to walk comfortably. I won't do it in the future. .”

This road is full of dirt roads, bumpy, and the car is very bumpy. The old lady flickers a while while sitting in the car, and she suffers a lot along the way.

Yuan Si didn't say a word, and she wasn't very used to this kind of "bull cart", but she would rather take a car than walk.

When the people recovered, the old lady led the daughter to continue walking.

After walking for more than an hour, it was completely dark and passed through several villages before arriving at the destination.

"Your third sister married into this village." The old lady introduced to the little girl as she walked. After all these years, Si'er has never been to her third sister's house. "This village is poor, even poorer than our family. Your third sister was determined to marry here, or I said that she would not be able to marry here."

Yuansi looked at this dim little village in the moonlight, and she could tell from the outside that what the old lady said was true. The houses in this village were all low mud houses, which looked dilapidated.It's only past six o'clock now, and the whole village is completely dark with no light at all.

The two walked to a small farmyard in the dark, and the old lady stopped, "This is your third sister's house."

Yuansi looked carefully at it, and saw a very ordinary small courtyard made of fences, with three large mud houses in the middle, and the courtyard was cleaned up quite cleanly, and it could be seen that the hostess of the house was a capable woman. of.

The old lady directly opened the courtyard door and went in, and shouted into the house: "Is Li Yuanshan at home, is the third child at home?"

This is not a nuisance, it is because the old lady is afraid that the people inside will be asleep, so she yells a few times outside to give the people inside a time to get dressed.

Sure enough, after a while, a little light came out from the small window on the left side of the mud house, "Who is it?" A male voice asked.

"Xiang Guo, I'm here." The old lady still valued this son-in-law very much, so her tone of voice slowed down unconsciously.

"Mom, why are you here? Is something wrong at home?" Soon the door of the mud-and-grass room opened, and a big man in clothes came out, his face full of surprise.

"What's the matter? I just miss my daughter. It's just about to celebrate the Chinese New Year. I'll bring you girls to see my daughter and grandson." The old lady rolled her eyes, she really can't speak, what happened at home?The family is doing well, what can happen with her little girl around.

"Mom, do you still need you to come over in person if you miss us? Send us a letter, and we will take the child back to see you. Mother of the child, come out soon, mother is here." Zhao Xiangguo said sweetly, A few words coaxed the old lady well.

"Mother, why are you here? I'm going to get up tomorrow to see you." A woman in her 30s came out from the inside and was very excited to see the old lady.
