Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 82 A Sleepless Night

Li Houzhong came out rubbing his palms together, and stammered a bit and said to Guan Wen: "Well, my lord, the girl said she missed her mother, and she will stay at home for two days. Are you going to stay here with her, or go home?" She'll be back in two days..."

Guan Wen smiled wryly, knowing that his father-in-law was not telling the truth.

Xiner didn't want to see him.

Guan Wen touched his head, and said a little embarrassedly: "Then I'll stay here with her, anyway, there's nothing serious at home these two days. It's just disturbing my father-in-law and mother-in-law."

"It doesn't get in the way, it doesn't get in the way!" Hearing Guan Wen say this, Li Houzhong felt at ease. If this uncle just leaves like this, it will really not be good for the future.

Li Houzhong asked Guan Wen to go to Li Xin's room to rest. He came here before dawn, and he was definitely sleepy.Guan Wen didn't shirk, he was indeed sleepy, knowing that Li Xin was at her mother's house, he felt relieved, and went back to the house to lie down after listening to his father-in-law.

Asleep on the bed, Guan Wen couldn't help thinking about what happened yesterday.

It doesn't feel good for Dad to talk like this in front of Mr. Zhang, but it's not easy to save his father's face in front of guests and make Mr. Zhang laugh at him.Otherwise, how will the matter of the sixth brother be handled in the future?He always felt that Xiner was sensible and general, but he didn't expect that after lunch, his father would call Xiner to clean up, and those who yelled left and right saw no one.

The sixth brother said that his sister-in-law was definitely going out to play, there was no other way, the men all drank too much, so they had to call Axiu and Amei to clean up.Axiu asked her why her sister-in-law wasn't there, but he, the eldest brother, couldn't answer a word.

After finally carrying the drunks into the house, he was also a little too drunk, thinking that Xiner must have gone to do something, he didn't care, so he went back to the house and lay down for a while.

He didn't feel something was wrong until he woke up after sleeping, and it was time to make dinner, and Xin Er was still missing.

Asking Axiu, Axiu replied strangely: "Is sister-in-law not in the house? I haven't seen her all this time, so I don't know."

A-mei had been staying with A-xiu all this time, so naturally she didn't know.

Ask the second brother again, the second brother thought for a while and said: "I saw my sister-in-law when my sister-in-law brought the wine, but I didn't see her after that."

The fourth brother and the sixth brother are not very clear about their minds, so there is no need to ask.

Now Guan Wen is in a hurry.

At that time, he didn't think that Li Xin had gone back to her mother's house. He thought that something happened to her, and everyone who asked around in the village said they didn't see it.Reluctantly, he had no choice but to go back home and let Axiu and Amei make do with dinner, so he had to deal with Mr. Zhang's affairs first.

It's just that when I was having dinner, my father heard that Xiner was missing, so he slapped the table and scolded: "At this time, I still have to cheat and play tricks!"

He hurriedly apologized to Mr. Zhang, telling him not to laugh at him.

After finally eating a good meal, he tasted like chewing wax. After taking two bites, he put the bowl and chopsticks away, and went out to inquire again-this good person will not disappear inexplicably, right?
If he hadn't met Xing'er, he might still be wandering around like a headless chicken.

At that time, he was asking people in the village if they had seen his daughter-in-law. Everyone waved their hands and said no, and even the one who asked the question later made fun of him and said, "Ah Wen, why did you take your daughter-in-law?" Run away in anger? Can't you run out and chase after me now?"

He didn't have the mood to chat with others when he made fun of him, so he said thank you, and was about to continue asking when he saw Xing'er carrying a basket, as if she was going somewhere.

He went up and asked Myolie if he had seen his wife.

Xing'er was surprised and said: "Didn't she say that her mother's family had something to do at noon today and she went back to her mother's house? She left in a hurry without finishing her sentence."

He was taken aback, "She said she went back to her mother's house?"

"That's right, her complexion is very bad, probably something serious happened at home." Myolie said worriedly, "My Xiaokang said she was angry." Then she asked him, "Didn't she tell you when she went back? "

What can he say?He still doesn't understand why his daughter-in-law left suddenly this time.He could only say a haha, and hurried home.

The daughter-in-law is not here, and the house seems to be in chaos.Hearing that his daughter-in-law had returned to her parents' house, Axiu and Amei went to boil water to wash their faces and feet after dinner, and retreated to their sister's boudoir without paying attention to the rest.And his father yelled at him, scolding Xiner for being unruly and disobedient, and he didn't see him as a father-in-law.The second brother asked him to pick up Xiner back, but the sixth brother hummed that Xiner was showing off, but he couldn't pick him up, maybe the Li family would come to the house tomorrow to find trouble.Only the fourth brother didn't speak, just shook his head slightly at him.

Grandpa listened to it without saying a word, leaned against the wall and went back to the upper room without saying a word.

Fortunately, Mr. Zhang didn't know what happened afterwards.Since Xiner was not here, he could only arrange the rest.The place where Mr. Zhang lives, breakfast and lunch tomorrow morning, the rented ox cart, and a separate gift and money for Mr. Zhang.

There are also leftovers from cleaning up a table.

He suddenly realized that Xiner had to do so many things every day, and she couldn't rest a little bit, and couldn't take a few breaths.

After doing this, it's already three poles on the moon.

He was tossing and turning on the bed, next to Xiao Liu who was snoring.

He was upset, woke up Xiao Liu several times, complained and asked him: "What's the matter?" He was still not very sober.

He silently asked Xiao Liu: "Why don't you like your sister-in-law?"

Unexpectedly, Xiaoliu murmured "Sister-in-law" out of confusion, then sneered, and said vaguely: "Who would like a kiln sister, it's insulting to gentlemen..." After finishing speaking, he turned over and went back to sleep.

He was struck by lightning.

He has always known that the sixth brother and his father have a bad attitude towards Xiner, and he also vaguely understands that there is a reason for this, but he did not expect that because of this reason, the sixth brother and his father completely rejected Xiner.On weekdays, Xiner is not lazy and procrastinated in doing things, and the family affairs are organized in an orderly manner, and she has never seen her father and sixth brother praise her.And when something went wrong with Kinji, name-calling and insults ensued.

Chilling?The sixth brother and father don't regard Xiner as family.

He was very guilty of asking himself, because he never paid attention to these questions.

So today, what made Xiner leave without looking back or saying hello?

After thinking and thinking, he baked sesame seed cakes on the bed all night, and finally figured it out.

So he couldn't sleep anymore, got up and put on his clothes, ran to the room where his second and fourth brothers slept to wake them up, and asked them to help Mr. Zhang's affairs after dawn, and after a careful explanation, he simply cleaned up By myself, I hurried to Lijia Village.

The second brother asked him why he was there, and he said, "I'll go get your sister-in-law back."

He didn't know how he would be treated when he arrived at his wife's natal family. If everyone in Yue's family gave him a blank stare, even beat him and scolded him for bullying Xin Er, he had already thought about it and just accepted it all.As long as Xiner goes home with him.

He arrived in Lijia Village anxiously, but his old father-in-law didn't give him any face, and led him to his house, and even helped him ease the relationship with his wife.

He was not evicted and was allowed to sleep in his wife's boudoir before her marriage.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Now lying in bed, he finally felt at ease.

Although there are still tests waiting for him ahead, as long as Xiner is not cold-hearted towards him, he still has a chance.

After a sleepless night and rushing on the road before dawn, Guan Wen was exhausted.After touching the bed, he closed his eyes and fell asleep, breathing heavily, and snoring sounded accordingly.

Li Xin ate the steamed bun, drank another glass of water, Shanzi ran in bouncingly and threw himself into her arms after getting tired of it for a while, then pulled her again, "Gu, look at Niuniu, look at Niuniu!"

The calf bought at home has grown up a lot, and it is slowly gnawing hay in the cowshed, sweeping its slender tail with a very leisurely posture.Its next-door neighbors are five white hens and a crowing rooster, and a hen is laying eggs.

Shanzi pointed to the cow and said, "Cow moo!" He clasped the middle three fingers of his hands above his head, imitating the sound of a cow, and said "moo...".The cows in the cowshed didn't know if they were already familiar with Shanzi, and they also "mooed" in agreement.Shan Zi laughed happily, "Niu Niu!" He called out and looked at Li Xin, "Gu, Niu Niu!"

This kid's cute appearance is so cute, Li Xin patted his head, "Well, Niuniu."

"Do you have any cows?"

Shan Zi blinked his eyes and asked, as if showing off to others.Li Xin blinked: "Gun doesn't have Niu Niu, how about Shanzi giving Niu Niu to Gu?"

Shanzi was stunned with an "ah", then frowned, shook his head for a long time, thought about it and nodded reluctantly, finally cried "wow", ran to the stove and shouted: "Grandma, grandma! I want a cow! I want a cow!"

Li Xin couldn't laugh or cry, and because he made the child cry, he hurried forward and coaxed: "I'm just kidding with you, I don't want Niuniu, Niuniu belongs to Shanzi, I don't want it, ah."

Mrs. Liu washed her hands and came out, watching Li Xin wipe Shanzi's tears, Shanzi's mouth was puckered, and he couldn't help cursing, "How old are you, you can still make children cry."

Li Xin laughed: "I didn't know he was crying like that! I really thought I wanted his bully."

"He loves this cow. He spends more time with the cow than with his family every day." Liu put some hay in the cowshed trough angrily, and said with a smile: "This cow Well-raised and strong, when the spring comes, we can see how the cow is growing, and we can also pull it down to try to see if it can plow the field."

"It's too young." Li Xin thought to himself, Niu Niu is still underage.

Mrs. Liu took Shan Zi and asked him where his younger brother was. Shan Zi said that he was playing with his second aunt, and Mrs. Liu said, "Xin'er, and the second sibling is pregnant with a child. It's not very convenient to do things. They only do some sewing every day. Xiao The pocket is tight now, and your sister-in-law is busy, and your second sibling is watching over the child. Since you are here, go and help your sister-in-law look after the child."

Li Xin said with a smile: "Got it, mother, I'm just a babysitter."

"Whoever makes children like you."

But no, after a while, Shanzi held Li Xin's hand again and kept calling "Gu" and "Gu", without any resentment for what Li Xin said just now that he wanted him to give Niu Niu.

Li Xin carried Shanzi to the West Room, Jiang Shi was embroidering the children's clothes, Xiaodou sat on the side obediently and played by himself.Seeing Li Xin coming in, Jiang quickly put down his things and said, "Sister is here."

"Well, what are you doing?"

"Children's clothes." Jiang Shi pursed her lips and said with a smile, "I have nothing to do, prepare them for the children in advance."

"Erlang is not at home now, take care of yourself." Li Xin took her sewing basket and took a small gown for children. It is very simple and the fabric is already very soft. She couldn't help laughing and said: " The clothes are really well done."

Jiang bowed her head embarrassedly, "According to the days, this child should be born when the spring is approaching, and the weather is still cold at that time, so it's better to make something and put it there."

"It's time to prepare."

Li Xin nodded, and hugged Xiaodou to tease him again. Shanzi climbed onto the bed to help him, and asked Xiaodou, "Who do you like the most?"

Xiaodou replied childishly: "Brother!"

Shanzi then "giggled" and fell back into Li Xin's arms.After laughing enough, he asked again: "Who does my brother like the most?"

"elder brother!"

……

Both Li Xin and Jiang couldn't help laughing.
