Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 56
Guan Wen's aunt, Guan's boudoir name Yunniu, married at that time, and her husband's family name was Zhao.Zhao Guangming is an honest man, hard-working, and his family's situation is not bad with his hard work.If it hadn't been for the unexpected accident and the broken leg, the Zhao family would not have been defeated so far.

There are only two sons under Guan's knees, the eldest Zhao Changhui and the second Zhao Changsheng, who have inherited the honesty of their father and the kindness of their mother.

According to Guan Wen, Zhao Chang would be a shrewd person, sincere in doing things but also shrewd.Zhao Changsheng, on the other hand, was taller and stronger than his elder brother, but he was a one-sided master.

Li Xin has only met Zhao Changhui, who is a little short, and was a little shy when he first met Li Xin, a big cousin.As for Zhao Changsheng, she hadn't met him yet, so she couldn't comment on it.

Li Xin packed her and Guan Wen's clothes, and in his purse was three taels of silver and [-] coins.This is the total wages Cui Guanshi calculated for the couple.With money in his hand, Li Xin was very confident, and put the three liang of silver close to his body, and only counted and counted the [-] yuan, with the corner of his mouth grinning to his ear.

Guan Wen looked at her and smiled lightly, "It's not that I haven't seen Yinzi before, why are you so happy?"

"If one day I can count the money until my hands cramp, I'll be satisfied." Li Xin leaned over with a smile, "I'll give you a thousand dollars, go to my aunt's house and give my aunt a red envelope of five hundred dollars, and let her spend four Come when my younger brother gets married, and make a scene as an elder. You can give the eldest cousin a hundred dollars alone, and thank him for helping us make this trip."

As he spoke, he counted the money to Guan Wen, and asked, "Although they are all real relatives, and you said that my aunt treats you well, but these etiquettes still have to go. As the saying goes, it is best not to leave anything Those who give nonsense to others and deal with people, can't begrudge this little money."

Guan Wen silently collected the money, and sighed: "I didn't think these things were so important before. I thought they were all my brothers, so it's not a big deal to help."

"I've been tired for two days, so I should give some compensation." Li Xin said, "Think about it, what would you do if it was during the busy farming season? My cousin is too busy himself, so it's not a waste of people's time What is it?"

Guan Wen nodded as if he was taught, pocketed the money and said, "I'll listen to you."

"Can't you listen to me?"

After the things were taken care of, Li Xin specially wrapped another [-] yuan red envelope and asked Guan Wen to send it to Cui Guanshi.Guan Wen was stunned and said, "Guan Cui is not short of the two money..."

"Who is short of these two money?" Li Xin poked him on the head, "It's a courtesy, if it wasn't for Uncle Cui's approval, we wouldn't be able to work in Cui's residence, if it wasn't for Uncle Cui persuading you to finish your work before leaving , We don’t have that much wages. Although Uncle Cui is not short of this money, giving money to others is to express our gratitude.” Li Xin thought for a while and said: “Or don’t give money, buy something for Uncle Cui can also send it, this etiquette must be in place."

Guan Wen thought about it for the same reason, so he listened to what Li Xin said, and went to buy some cooked food and wine for Cui Guanshi. He also sent a hundred money, and smiled embarrassedly in Cui Guanshi's surprise: "My daughter-in-law said she wanted to thank Uncle Cui. If it wasn't for Uncle Cui, we wouldn't be able to work in Cui's mansion. A little care is not a respect."

Cui Guanshi laughed, and pushed the money to Guan Wen, "I'll just accept the things, and I've been a little greedy recently, and the tooth-beating festival is also good. But you have to take back the money, it's what you deserve, I can't take."

Guan Wen hesitated, Cui Guanshi smiled and said: "Your wife asked you to come, right? The elder sister is really polite and knows how to deal with things. Ah Wen, you married a good wife, who will take care of you inside and out. Well, the days of the two of you will definitely become more and more prosperous in the future."

Cui Guanshi didn't take any money after pushing him a few times, Guan Wen saw that he didn't seem to be condescending, so he could only take the money back.

Cui Guanshi asked: "Is everything packed? Everyone else has gone to their own homes. When are you going to leave?"

Guan Wen said: "I originally planned to leave today, but I thought I could visit my aunt's house by the way, and I will go back to my hometown tomorrow."

"That's good too. No matter how close the relatives are by blood, they will fade away if they move around less. No matter how close the blood relationship is, they will become close relatives if they move around a lot." Cui Guanshi sighed: "I will get up and go to the capital in two days. , I’m afraid I won’t be able to come back in this life.”

Guan Wen also showed a somewhat melancholy expression.

"However, I believe that you two are promising people. I felt that way from the first time I saw you." Cui Guanshi took a sip of wine and patted Guan Wen's shoulder, "Listen to your wife in everything. Damn, that's right. Your daughter-in-law is a good one, with a clever mind and a good hand outside the family. You are lucky to be able to marry such a good wife..." As he spoke, he began to think about it. It seems to be very emotional.

Guan Wen didn't have much to say, so he said goodbye to Cui Guanshi after a few more subtle words, and he had to go to his aunt's house in the next afternoon.

On the way, Guan Wen and Li Xin talked about Cui Guanshi's reaction, and Li Xin was silent for a moment before saying: "I heard that Cui Guanshi's daughter-in-law was married to him by the master. I thought it was good earlier, but later I realized that the woman was a little bit elbowed out. , Good things like to be dragged back to their natal homes, and they also like to take advantage of others. It is not easy for Cui Guanshi to get to this position. The woman leaned against a big tree to enjoy the shade, which caused a lot of trouble for Cui Guanshi. I felt it was inappropriate, so I begged my master to send my daughter-in-law to work in one of the master's villages."

Guan Wen also felt a little embarrassed, "Every family has scriptures that are hard to recite."

After walking for about an hour and a half, I arrived at Zhao's house.Looking at it is a narrow alley, which looks a little dirty.The surrounding smell is too strong, and one or two stray cats and stray dogs can be seen strolling in it.

Li Xin took a slight breath.

Guan Wen took Li Xin's hand and said softly: "My aunt and uncle used to have a shop to sell some food, but then my uncle had an accident and my aunt couldn't take care of the family affairs by herself, so I had to rent out the shop. The whole family moved to live in this alley.”

Li Xin sighed: "It's hard for my aunt too."

The gate of Zhao's house opened at the entrance of the alley. There were two dusty door panels, and there was a big splash of water beside the door, and it was unknown who poured it.Guan Wen raised his hand and knocked on the door, and called in, "Changhui, Changsheng, are you at home?"

After a while, the door opened from the inside, and it was Zhao Changhui whom Li Xin had met once.He rubbed his hands and was a little surprised, "Big cousin, big cousin?"

Guan Wen said with a smile: "I'm working part-time at Cui's house, and it's over today. I want to go home tomorrow, and my father asked me to come and see my aunt."

Zhao Changhui hurriedly moved in, and Li Xin took the opportunity to give him the things he was carrying in his hands, and said, "It's my first time here, I don't know what gift to prepare, I bought something to eat, and I have the right to honor my aunt."

Zhao Changhui repeatedly said "cousin-in-law is polite" and let the two into the house.

This is a small house, the main room is directly opposite the door, and the bedrooms are on the left and right sides.Behind the main room is probably the kitchen and utility room.Although Xiaojia is small, it has all internal organs, but it looks very narrow.

Li Xin observed secretly, Zhao Changhui had already raised his voice and shouted to the back of the main room: "Mother, the eldest cousin and sister-in-law are here to see you!"

After a few seconds, a thin, white-haired woman came out from behind, her face was quite similar to Guan Wen's.Seeing Guan Wen, she walked a few steps excitedly, Guan Wen held her by the arm, and before Guan Wen could speak, the woman said, "Ah Wen, you are willing to come and see my aunt..."

His voice became choked with sobs.Guan Wen also blushed slightly, "I've been working part-time recently, I'm busy, now I have time to see my aunt after work is over." As he spoke, he looked back at Li Xin, beckoning her to come forward.

Li Xinfu went down and bowed Yingying, his voice was very soft, "Hello, Auntie."

Guan Shi didn't pay her any attention, and only responded lightly, then rubbed Guan Wen's shoulder, took his hand and said, "Go, go and see your uncle, he keeps talking about you."

I don't care about Li Xin, just pull Guan Wen and leave.

Li Xin naturally understood from Guan's words and attitude that this aunt didn't like her, so she didn't put on a shy face to make people dislike her.Seeing Guan Wen looking towards her, he thought that his uncle was also an elder, and he hadn't seen her before, so he had to give a salute, so he followed, but kept a distance from Guan.

Zhao Changhui was a little embarrassed, put down his things, and whispered to Li Xin: "My mother didn't mean anything malicious, don't worry about it, cousin..."

Li Xin was speechless, seeing Zhao Changhui was a little anxious, so she nodded slightly, and smiled at him to indicate that it was okay.

But she was naturally uncomfortable.

Have you ever offended this aunt?She has never dealt with her before, how could she offend her?Even if this aunt doesn't like her, at least she should pay attention to her face. She is a new daughter-in-law who came to see the elders, but was directly ignored by the elders, as if she didn't exist.It is impossible for Li Xin to have no lumps in his heart.

Guan Wen always said that his aunt was kind and treated him well. Li Xin originally had a good impression of her in his heart.Seeing that she is not very old but her hair is slightly gray, and she knows that she has worked hard for most of her life, and she feels pitiful, so she naturally sympathizes.But as soon as Guan Shi ignored him, Li Xin felt a little uncomfortable.

The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment, that's the truth.

Guan took Guan Wen into a bedroom, and Zhao Guangming was lying on a recliner next to the bed, skinny and looking like a skeleton.Guan said to him excitedly: "Head of the house, do you see who is here?"

Zhao Guangming looked at Guan Wen, as if his eyes had brightened, "Ah Wen!" he yelled and stretched out his hand towards Guan Wen.

"Uncle." Guan Wen hurried forward to shake his hand, sighed deeply and said, "Uncle, you've lost weight again."

Zhao Guangming smiled cheerfully, "It's okay, it's okay. Where's your wife? I didn't go to get married, and I haven't met your wife yet."

Guan Wen hurriedly shouted back: "Xin'er, come and give Uncle a present."

Guan didn't stop her, but stepped aside.Li Xin hurriedly took two steps forward, blessed himself, "Hello, Uncle."

"Okay, okay!" Zhao Guangming nodded hastily, "Ah Wen, okay! You finally got married!"

Guan Shi pursed her lips, stepped forward and said, "Master, take care of yourself. Ah Wen, help your uncle to sit up, so that he won't lie down all day without a trace of energy. You two have a good chat."

Guan Wen did as he did, and Guan looked at Li Xin indifferently, "Ah Wen's daughter-in-law come with me."
