Chapter 17

Li Erlin and Wang Dafeng also had two sons and one daughter. She also heard that Lu Yumin's dried bayberries were sold, so she came to her house early in the morning.

Wang Dafeng saw that Lu Yumin was washing clothes, she asked with a smile: "Third brother and sister, I heard from sister Jin that you sent dried bayberry to a shop in the town?"

Lu Yumin said honestly: "That's right. I steamed a little the day before yesterday, and kept food, so I asked my fifth aunt to take me to sell it!"

Wang Dafeng asked: "Is the price good?"

Lu Yumin said: "I don't know if the price is good or not. The jar I sent sold for 130 Wen, and there are about three more at home."

Wang Dafeng said: "That is to say, it is not worth too much money. Although this thing is not big, it is still quite troublesome to dry. However, it is good to always be worth some money! Then if you sell it next time, I will Take some for me too."

Lu Yumin said honestly: "Second sister-in-law, I have to wait a few days for Boss Zheng's letter. If he still wants it, I'll tell you."

Wang Dafeng said: "That's kind, if I'm free, I'll go with you too."

Lu Yumin smiled and said: "That's good! I don't know anyone in this town very well. If my fifth aunt didn't take her with me, I don't know where to sell it this time! If my second sister-in-law goes with you, you can still Take me around this town."

Wang Dafeng said with a smile: "Aunt Wu is very familiar with the town, she has relatives in the town. You looked for her this time, but you found the right one! What is there to do in this town? Isn't it the two streets What? If you really want to go and have a look, I’ll take you there next time! I’ll go back and wait for your letter first?”

Lu Yumin said: "Okay, Second Sister-in-law, I will let you know when I have a letter!"

After washing the clothes, Lu Yumin saw that the sun was still not too strong, so she took a hoe and went into the vegetable garden. She found that it had been sunny for two days, and the vegetable field was a little dry, and the peppers and eggplants on the trees were a little wilted They looked like that, and went home to take a bucket and a wooden spoon to water them, and then picked a basket of vegetables and went home.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, Meihua and Azhen were at the door of her house. As soon as they saw her coming in, they asked, "Sister-in-law San, have you gone to pick vegetables?"

Lu Yumin smiled and said, "The vegetable field is all dry, so I watered it a little. Why do you have time to sit here today?"

Meihua smiled and said, "I haven't talked enough with you yesterday, if it wasn't for Xinghua's sister-in-law who came to see me, how could I go back so soon?"

Ah Zhen asked: "Meihua, I was just about to ask you, why did Xinghua's sister-in-law come to my third brother's house to look for you?"

Plum Blossom replied: "She came to my house to ask for some yellow threads, and she came here after hearing what my mother said!"

Ah Zhen wrinkled her nose and said disdainfully: "I don't really believe her words! I'm afraid she has ulterior motives!"

Plum Blossom also smiled and said, "I don't quite believe it either!"

Lu Yumin smiled and said, "Come on, go in and sit down! The herbal tea I made in the morning is ready to drink! But Meihua should eat less, because she has a son in her belly!"

Meihua pulled Ah Zhen and said, "The red bayberry that your third sister-in-law dried is really delicious!"

Ah Zhen said, "Didn't you bring me here to ask my third sister-in-law for Yangmei to eat?"

Plum blossom "giggled" and said with a smile: "Which name is called the bayberry dried by the third sister-in-law? It tastes so good! My mother made it so bad!"

Lu Yumin said: "There are still some things I made two days ago. I stayed here to eat. Come on, I won't be able to eat a few of these things at once, or I won't be able to eat this tooth."

Before the two of them sat down, Ah Zhen asked, "Sister-in-law San, I came to see you today."

Lu Yumin poured everyone a cup of herbal tea before asking, "What's the matter?"

Ah Zhen said: "Just now I saw the straw sandals under Niu Niu's feet. They look different from ordinary straw sandals. They are beautiful and easy to wear. My dog ​​saw them and asked for a pair too!"

Plum Blossom said again: "You made the clothes your yaya wears, right? Those straw sandals look like a pair of straw sandals that a girl wears, you can't really call them a pair of straw sandals, and the pair of pants you made for her are really pretty. I also want to come and learn these two things from you!"

Lu Yumin said: "It's not something amazing, they are all very simple things. If you like them, then you can learn from me, and you will learn them soon."

Lu Yumin brought the straw sandal rack into the living room, and the three of them sat at the gate, chatting while watching her beat the straw sandals, and Ah Zhen said, "Sister-in-law San, don't associate with this Xinghua from now on. This person is not a serious person! "

Seeing Lu Yumin's puzzled expression, Mei Hua also said, "Sister-in-law San, you don't know that, before you married in, she seduced your brother San Lin three times and five times!"

Ah Zhen gave a "bah" and said, "She can marry if she wants to? Don't say that my mother-in-law is amazing, even my third brother doesn't like her!"

Meihua said: "Ah Zhen doesn't understand men anymore! This sister-in-law Xinghua is not too young, but she speaks in front of men, you can't learn it! Men like women like that! "

Ah Zhen said with a disgusted face; "He is 25 years old! She thought she was a little girl! There are dozens of men who seduce, not to mention a basket!"

Plum Blossom said with a "hee hee" smile, "But men love her style! You know, that bowl seller is her regular customer!"

Ah Zhen still had a look of disdain on her face: "Don't you know? Last year when the bowl seller came, those dead boys from the village sneaked over the wall and entered her yard. Guess what they saw? "

Mei Hua had a smirk on her face: "I already knew that! Those bastards of them said that the bowler had long hooks! I also heard that the bowler often traded bowls for things by going around the village. A woman's bed, it is said that he often makes those newlyweds whose father-in-law is not at home often go to death!"

A-Zhen said, "That's true! Last year, people saw everything about her and that bowler! This Xinghua is also shameless. Guess what they heard?"

Mei Hua said with a look of infatuation: "We are not little girls who can't listen, so what are you trying to do!"

Meihua imitated Xinghua's voice: "Brother Wanke, you are too big! Wanke said proudly, I knew you liked it! But is it just big? Brother Wanke, you are really strong! This man's proud voice is even louder. Big Brother: I am not too strong, brother, why would you think about me? Today I will make you unable to get out of bed for three days! I will come to you for seven or eight days!"

Ah Zhen imitated those two people's words vividly, Mei Hua was giggling beside her, and Lu Yumin kept beating the straw sandals in her hand. No matter which world she was in, she knew that she was timid and shy. She is a modern person, This aspect is really inferior to the ancient married women!
Seeing that the two of them had finished laughing, Lu Yumin asked, "Is this the only bowl shop in this village that sells bowls?"

Plum Blossom said: "That's not true. Usually there are two or three who come to sell. Does the third sister-in-law want to buy some bowls? Or do you want to see this bowler?"

Lu Yumin said: "I'm not interested in looking at bowlers! I have enough bowls at home, but I just want to buy a few pots and jars to hold some dried vegetables and so on."

Ah Zhen said: "That's what I need. It's still very inconvenient to bring these pots and pans back to the town. It's much more convenient to buy some in the village."

Lu Yumin said: "Yes! There are a lot of vegetables in this vegetable garden. If you can't finish eating them after a while, you can dry some. When there are no vegetables to eat in winter, you can take them out and eat them!"

Mei Hua said: "Then next time someone comes to sell bowls, we will call you!"

Lu Yumin said: "That's a good relationship! You won't have to move to the town!"

Ah Zhen said: "It costs four dollars to go to the town! This ox cart is not something you can afford every day!"

Lu Yumin smiled and said: "You don't go to the town every day! It's rare to go once. If you don't bring anything, you can walk around, but if you bring something, you have to take a bullock cart."

Plum Blossom also smiled and said, "Ah-Zhen is only short of a few big bucks! You're calling yourself poor on purpose, so let me borrow money?"

Liu Azhen slapped Mei Hua lightly: "You're the only one who will bury people! See if I don't deal with you!"

The three were chatting and laughing, and a child ran to the door of Li's house and called, "Aunt San, Niu Niu is fighting with someone else!"

Lu Yumin stood up abruptly and ran outside, Ah Zhen followed with the child in her arms, and when she saw the child at the door, she called, "Huzi, where is Niu Niu fighting with someone?"

Seeing that it was the fourth aunt, Hu Zi immediately said, "Under the big tree."

Lu Yumin said: "Both of you slow down, I will come as soon as I go."

A group of seven or eight-year-old children under the big tree saw Lu Yumin coming, and immediately someone called out, "Niu Niu, your mother is here!"

"Niu Niu, Shi Yazi, you two fight separately!"

The two children who rolled on the ground ignored everyone's dissuasion and continued to roll back and forth on the ground!

Every time Lu Yu walked over and stretched out his hand to pull the two of them away, he saw that the bull was covered in mud, and only one pair of straw sandals was left. His small eyes were red, really like a little bullfighting bull!

Holding back the two who were still entangled, Lu Yumin didn't scold Niu Niu, but wiped off the dirt on his face with a cotton towel in his hand, then wiped his little hands, and finally hugged him and asked, "Niu Niu Tell aunt, why are you fighting?"

Niu Niu stubbornly pointed with his finger and said, "He should be hit!"

Lu Yumin said: "You are all from the same village, and your surname is Li. You are all brothers. How can you fight? Is there any misunderstanding today?"

Hu Zi, who was one year older, ran back. He heard Lu Yumin ask Niu Niu, but Niu Niu didn't answer her, so he said, "Third Aunt, Shi Yazi said that Niu Niu is an unwanted child! He said he gave birth to him." The mother died, and the mother who gave birth to Ya Ya ran away with someone, and now he is motherless."

Lu Yumin knew the importance of a mother to a child. After her mother died when she was ten years old, she missed her so many nights in loneliness!
Lu Yumin sat on the stone slab with Niu Niu in his arms, put on the shoes that Huzi had picked up for him, then patted the mud on his body and said, "Who says my Niu Niu is not wanted? My Niu Niu and Yaya are ours." My baby! Who will say that no one wants him in the future, and I will beat him together with my Niu Niu! However, my Niu Niu is a good boy and never fights randomly. Today is Shi Yazi’s fault. Don’t blame my Niu Niu for fighting Your child is the one that no one wants!"

Niu Niu heard Lu Yumin say that he is the baby of the family, so he called out aggrievedly: "Mom!"
