Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 59
Guan Wen woke up early in the morning of the second day, his head was still a little dazed, and only when he saw his wife's face sleeping peacefully did he recall what happened yesterday, feeling annoyed and funny at the same time.

Getting up to wash up lightly, Guan Wen went to the big kitchen to ask for two steamed buns. When he came back, he saw that Li Xin had woken up, put on his clothes, and was counting their things.

"woke up?"

"Well, I heard the sound of the door closing when you went out." Li Xin looked back at Guan Wen with a smile, "Have you talked to Guanshi Cui? Shall we leave later or in the afternoon?"

Guan Wen handed the steamed buns to Li Xin, "Let's leave later, Cui Guanshi also knows that we are leaving today."

Li Xin took the steamed buns and asked for two bites, then handed them back to Guan Wen, went straight to pack their bags, and started to clean the house.Guan Wen ate the remaining half of the steamed bun with water, and put the other steamed bun into his bosom.

After cleaning the house and folding the quilt, the two left Cui Mansion hand in hand.

When I went out of the corner gate, I ran into Aunt Yuan.

Li Xin almost forgot about this kitchen lady.

Aunt Yuan shyly approached Li Xin, "Sister Guan is leaving?"

Li Xin said "um" lightly, and didn't give Aunt Yuan a chance to speak, "I'm sorry, Auntie, we are going home in a hurry, so I won't chat with you. If there is fate, we will meet again. Get together."

After speaking, he could not help but pull Guan Wen away.

Guan Wen was a little surprised, "Why do you seem to be avoiding that aunt? We are not in such a hurry. It's still early..."

Li Xin glared at him, thinking that Guan Wen didn't know what was going on, and he didn't blame him, so he waved his hand and said, "There are a lot of tricksters in the house, and I don't want to deal with her, lest I be tricked by her." Go. We're going back anyway, so we don't need to have anything to do with her."

Guan Wen was thoughtful, he carried two bundles on his shoulders, and took out steamed buns from his arms, "It's not enough for you to eat two bites, and you have to walk for a long time on the road, eat this."

The steamed buns are quite big, half of which is enough for Li Xin to be full.Guan Wen is a tough guy, so he must eat more than her.Li Xin broke off a small piece, and pushed the rest to Guan Wen, "I only ate two bites, this is enough, you have to eat the rest, don't waste it."

Guan Wen wanted to stuff the steamed buns for her, Li Xin said angrily, "I'm not a fool, that's enough. If you eat yours, you won't starve me."

Guan Wen had no choice but to eat the remaining steamed buns by himself, and sighed, "White flour steamed buns are so precious...it makes people reluctant to eat them."

"From now on, our family will have white rice every day, red-roasted pork every meal, white-noodle steamed buns are often served on the table, and my daughter is free to drink red wine." Li Xin smiled at Guan Wen, "Ah Wen, the days will be more and more prosperous, look, the fourth brother's marriage Isn't it a matter of course? We have gained a lot this time, and we can slowly save a dowry for Axiu."

Guan Wen hugged Li Xin excitedly, "Don't you blame me for thinking about my younger siblings and ignoring us?"

Li Xin shook his head, "If you don't care about them, I'll feel chilled." His eyes rolled, "However, after they get married, they will have their own home, so we can't care about them anymore. The fourth brother is not old. You are too young, about the same age as me? You are already twenty, and you have to look like a parent when you start a family. You can't always stand in front of him, and you should let him know that you also have responsibilities. "

Guan Wen listened silently, nodded and said, "I know, Xiao Si is also smart and sensible, so it's not impossible that he doesn't know these things."

Li Xin smiled and said nothing.

Among the seven brothers and sisters of the Guan family, the sister-in-law A Xiu is the one who has a better relationship with Li Xin.It is inconvenient for her to get in touch with her husband's younger brother, but her younger sister can learn more.Axiu's age is there, so there is no delay, she will get married soon, and she won't be able to stay with her for a long time. Speaking of which, in the next two or three years, Amei may be the only one by her side.

Grandpa and father are still there, so it is very difficult to separate the family. Li Xin doesn't want to separate the family now, but only thinks that if Guan Wuguan can be completely closed and the daughter-in-law can be married in, the four brothers will all have their own homes. There is no need to mention the separation of the family, the four brothers can discuss the separation of the family.After all, there were too many people in the Guan family at that time, and there would probably be more friction.

Humans are social animals, and a society composed of families requires connections between people.It's just that the brothers are separated by a layer. As the saying goes, the fragrance that is close is stinky and the fragrance that is far away, or distance can produce beauty.

She will not mention these thoughts to others for the time being.

It is impossible to say that she has no selfishness.Guan Wen felt that she didn't hide her secrets, and she treated their family members wholeheartedly, so she didn't refute.The husband thinks it is a good thing that she is virtuous and reasonable, although some of her careful thinking and small calculations are mixed in this virtuousness, but it is not harmful, is it?
The footsteps were faster, and when it was close to noon, the two finally arrived at the lotus village.

Not seeing Guan's house and yard for more than a month, Li Xin really misses it.The two hurried to the door of the house, Guan Wen knocked on the door and shouted: "Second brother, fourth brother, open the door!"

"Come on!"

Guan Quan's voice came, and the door was opened after a while.Guan Quan put a sweat towel around his neck and opened the door wide open, "Brother, sister-in-law, are you back?"

"Ah."

Guan Wen walked in with a smile, and Li Xin took the burden off his shoulders and went straight to their room. Naturally, Guan Wen had to go see his grandfather and father first.

While unpacking and packing clothes in the room, Amei stumbled in, her eyes were red, her nose was also red, she saw Li Xin sobbing and began to cry softly.Before Li Xin asked Amei what happened, he vaguely heard someone shouting loudly from the main room: "You are unfilial!"

Li Xin was startled, and hurriedly pulled Amei, comforting her, and asked softly: "Amei, don't cry, tell sister-in-law, what happened?"

A-mei just shed tears and didn't say a word for a while.It's not good for Li Xin to leave Amei now and go to the main room. Thinking that Guan Wen is here, it shouldn't be a big deal. She felt relieved and frowned slightly, "Amei, where is your Fifth Sister?"

A-mei shook her head and said softly, "I went to Sister Xinger's house to play with Xiaokang."

Li Xin frowned, "Why didn't you follow?"

"I don't want to go..." A-mei began to cry again, with a strong crying voice, "Father scolded Fifth Sister..."

Li Xin had no choice but to coax Amei in a low voice, took a handkerchief to wipe her tears, let her sit on the edge of the bed, and talked to her while tidying up her clothes.Unconsciously looking around the room, I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't remember it.

A-mei wiped away her tears and just took a low breath, pursed her lips tightly, as if she was hiding from something, nestled in Li Xin's place and didn't go out.

Li Xin was very surprised, A-mei hadn't been too close to her all this time, and there had never been such a thing as "laying" in her bedroom.Li Xin was even more curious about what happened to Amei.

The clothes were packed and piled up in the clothes box. Li Xin took Amei's hand and said, "Sister-in-law hasn't gone to see grandpa and father-in-law yet, can you go with sister-in-law?"

A-mei quickly shook her head, shrank her whole body on the bed, "Father, I want to scold you..."

"My sister didn't do anything wrong, father won't scold you."

"Father wants to scold you!" A-mei shook her head stubbornly, and even grabbed Li Xin's hand, "Father scolded Fifth Sister, and even scolded sister-in-law..."

Li Xin was confused and wanted to ask Amei, but the bedroom door opened with a "bang", Guan Wen came in with a pale face, saw Amei was stunned for a moment, then turned around and closed the door.

However, as the door opened, Guan Wen's father's voice naturally slipped in with Guan Wen, "I am still the head of this family! I am still your father! You are not a filial son!"

Li Xin was shocked!

All along, Guan Ming gave her the feeling that although this father-in-law prefers the younger son and doesn't pay much attention to other children, he has always been afraid of Guan Wen.As long as Guan Wen opened his mouth, he would not say anything more.It's only been more than a month, why did father-in-law's temperament change?
Li Xin couldn't figure it out. Seeing Guan Wen's complexion was bad, Amei shrank into a ball again. After thinking about it, she asked tentatively, "Awen, what's the matter? Are you arguing with your father-in-law?"

Guan Wen waved his hands with an expression of not wanting to say more.Li Xin didn't ask too many questions, turned to A-Mei and said, "A-Mei, it's time for lunch, right? Go to Sister Xing'er's house and ask Fifth Sister to come back, okay?"

A-mei glanced at Guan Wen timidly, called out "Big Brother" in a low voice, seemed relieved to hear Guan Wen's answer, and then shrank out the door slowly.

Li Xin closed the door, frowned, and pulled Guan Wen to sit on the bed, and asked him in a low voice, "What happened? Father-in-law is so angry, and sister-in-law can't explain anything clearly."

Guan Wen supported his forehead and sighed after a long time: "Xin'er, do you think I did something wrong?"

"what?"

"I just went to see my father today, and he showed me a face, saying that the sixth brother's Shuxiu is about to be paid, and asked me why I haven't paid the money yet. I said I was busy with the fourth brother's affairs recently and forgot, and I didn't have any money left, so my father said, "You can get the money for the dowry for the fourth brother, but you can't do it for the sixth brother?" He pointed at me and scolded me, and said that the dowry was not carried out of the house. Carrying it directly from the town to the Hu family would be too embarrassing to the Hu family, it would embarrass him or something..."

Li Xin's face slowly sank.Guan Wen definitely didn't say anything, his father even scolded her.A-mei said that her father scolded A-Xiu and scolded her, probably because she prepared these dowry gifts without his hands.

Guan Wen rubbed his cheeks, "Axiu said a few words that offended father and was scolded by him. She also got angry and hid with sister Xing'er. I said that Dad's nose is not his nose and his eyes are not eyes at home, and I was afraid that it would affect our mood when we go to work, so I covered it up."

Li Xin thought about it, at that time Guan Wu was really hesitant to talk, and it made sense to think about the connection.

But what this father-in-law did was too chilling!They are the eldest brother and sister-in-law who go out to work to earn the dowry for their younger brother's marriage, but he, the father, only thinks about the younger son's Shu Xiu?Is the dowry important or the bundle repair important?What could be wrong with Shu Xiu delaying the delivery for a while?But it would be unlucky if the dowry cannot be carried over time!Does father-in-law not even know the priorities?Or in his eyes, only Guan Zhicheng is the son, and all other sons and daughters are inferior to his precious son with one finger?

Li Xin was very resentful, but seeing that Guan Wen was so angry, she couldn't say anything more. She stroked his back to comfort him, and said softly, "Don't be angry, you still have to eat lunch... Four My younger brother is getting married, so it's not good for the family to be like this. I'll pour you a glass of water, take it easy, and getting angry won't solve the problem."
