Rebirth of the pastoral landlady

Chapter 191 Loyal Belonging
Chapter [-] Loyal Belonging
"Fourth Aunt, what's the matter with you?" Jin Xi put down the saponin box in her hand, walked over to hold Cui Xique's shoulder, and asked.

Cui Xique wrinkled his nose, which was reddened by the veil, glanced at Sun, and said to Jin Xi: "Auntie is fine, I just had a little quarrel with your grandma, I'm so upset in my heart, I dare not go My natal family told my old mother and sister that they were afraid they would be worried, so I came to your mother to whisper a few words, it's all right."

If it's okay, according to Cui Xique's personality, can he turn himself into such a colorful cat?Since Jin Xi has paid attention to her, except for the time when her brother-in-law Yang Aimin had an accident, Cui Xique cried like this, this time, the matter is definitely serious.

Jin Xi glanced at Sun, who was sitting opposite Cui Xique with a depressed face, and said to Cui Xique: "If it's not convenient to tell, then I won't ask, but if Auntie has something useful for me, don't alienate me."

Cui Xique was grateful, squeezed Jinxi's cold hand heavily, nodded and said, "With your words, my aunt's heart is warmer than anything else. You just came back from washing, right? Seeing that your hands are freezing, hurry to the warm bucket Let's go bake!"

From Sun's expression, Jinxi guessed that the conversation between the two of them was interrupted by her, glanced at the warm bucket next to the bed, and said, "The third and fourth child are drying diapers in the warm bucket, I'll go to the kitchen to help Jane Sister-in-law is going to fill firewood, mother, you sit with fourth aunt!"

Mrs. Sun nodded, and said: "Pick up some more rice, your fourth aunt will eat here at noon before going over!" Cui Xique was about to say no, when Mrs. Sun pressed her hand, Jin Xi said crisply, 'Oh, okay. With a sound, he lifted his foot out of Sun's house door, and closed the door from the outside.However, Jin Xi was not in a hurry to go to the kitchen. At this time, Jian's was still drying clothes in the front yard, and it was still a little early for cooking, so Jin Xi went to the front yard to find Jin Rou and Dong's mother, to see the third and fourth children. Did you play well there?

Cui Xique still didn't eat lunch here, and left after sitting for a while, because Liang Yuzhou came to take over.After the meal, Jinxi helped Mrs. Sun to take the third and fourth sons to take a nap, and the couple inevitably talked about Cui Xique, so Jinxi asked a few questions.

"A person like your fourth aunt is not weak, and her mother's family is close. I originally thought that she would not be wronged when she married into Lao Liang's family. It seems that I underestimated your grandma. Aunt them." Sun sighed, sat on the edge of the bed and gently patted the third child's back through the quilt, and said in a low voice.

"I was washing things by the pond in the morning, and I heard the aunts and aunts in the opposite village seem to be talking about what happened to grandma, did something happen last night?" Jin Xi asked softly, the fourth child was not fully asleep yet Jin Xi wraps him in her arms with a small quilt, and sits there shaking gently.

"Hey, you only saw that Magpie's eyes and nose were red, but you didn't see the pinch marks on her neck under the collar of her high-up clothes, which were red and purple. I feel sorry for her. You Tell me, how did your grandma grow up? A daughter is a human being, but a daughter-in-law is not a human being? The daughter-in-law was also raised and beaten by her parents, so it's going to hell..."

"Mother, don't talk about this for now, tell me first, what happened there last night? How did you get pinched?"

Mrs. Sun hesitated for a moment. She didn't want to say those words to her daughter at first, but seeing her young and mature appearance, and her clever and cunning eyes, Mrs. Sun thought, maybe she really has some good ideas?Mrs. Sun is a soft-hearted and kind-hearted woman. She did not hold grudges against her when she was suppressed by Mrs. Tan and Mrs. Yang in the past. For close people like Cui Xique, Mrs. Sun really wanted to help if she could. She has had enough of the suffering of a daughter-in-law. Seeing Cui Xique like that, she seemed to see her former self.

Jin Xi was not in a hurry to urge her, she vaguely guessed that Mrs. Sun had some concerns about some things, it's okay, she just waited, the fourth child had already fallen asleep, Jin Xi untied the quilt, and put on the thin jacket she was wearing to sleep inside. He puts himself into the warm quilt and tucks the four corners of the quilt. At this time, Sun has made up his mind, organized his words, and slowly told Jinxi what happened last night...

Because it involves some adult matters, Sun's words are vague and intermittent, if it were someone else, he would definitely hear it without knowing the beginning and the end.Fortunately, Jinxi pretended to be asleep when she was sick last time, and had overheard their conversation. Now, she is a fake child again, combined with Sun's intermittent words, and made up her own imagination, Jinxi made up what happened at Lao Liang's house last night. Things revert as follows:

Because yesterday was New Year's Eve and the night was quiet, Lao Liang's family had an early dinner. After the meal, Cui Xique and Jin Shi cleaned up the dishes and went back to the house to rest.

Liang Yuzhou and Cui Xique are newlyweds, and they are already good at mixing oil with honey. In addition, during dinner, the old Liang was so happy that he asked Liang Yulin, Liang Yuzhou, Liang Lisheng and Liang Lizhi to accompany them to drink a few more glasses of wine, so the young couple lay down under the quilt at night Here, it's dry wood and a raging fire, and it must be crackling when hugged together.However, before this beautiful event was halfway through, a muffled laugh suddenly sounded from under the back window, as if someone covered their mouth with their palms and snickered. The shame and indignation that Magpie had been suffocating for these days burst out, pushed Liang Yuzhou away, put on a coat, opened the door, and ran to the back of the house.

Going around from Cui Xique's house to the backyard, you have to go through the side door of the inner main room, and then turn to the left and there is a small door. When Cui Xique rushed to the small door, he bumped into a figure panicking from the opposite side.Although it was the end of the month, there was still a crescent moon in the sky, and the light was dim, but people nearby could still see it clearly.

Who else could it be if it wasn't Liang Yumei?When the two collided head-on, Liang Yumei was still covering her mouth and giggling, the obscenity at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows made Cui Xique almost go crazy.So, without further ado, she jumped up and grabbed Liang Yumei's hair and fought with her. Mrs. Tan was the first to come over. She saw Cui Magpie with disheveled hair on the side of the cart in the inner courtyard under the moon. Riding on Liang Yumei's body, she swung her ear scrapers with both hands and lashed Liang Yumei's face vigorously. Tan's body shook, and suddenly burst into a beast-like cry. Pinching, because of too much force, both of Tan's eyeballs almost popped out.Liang Yuzhou barely put on his trousers, and chased him out shirtless. What he saw was that Tan and Liang Yumei threw Cui Xique to the ground together. Tan's hands were still on Cui Xique's neck, and Liang Yumei kicked Cui Xique on the side Cui Xique, and Cui Xique, was almost out of breath.

Liang Yuzhou recovered from the horror, rushed up to drive Tan Shi and Liang Yumei away, and lifted Cui Xique from the ground who was only breathing.The lights in the East Wing were on, and the old Liangtou went out of the house in his coat. In front of him, Liang Yulin, Yang Shi, and Liang Lisheng all came over, and met Liang Yuzhou who was rushing into the house with Cui Xique in his arms.

The big guy glanced at the scene of the fight, and heard the old Liangtou reprimanding Tan's mother and daughter in a low voice. Liang Yumei didn't dare to cry, sobbing with her mouth covered, Tan sat on the ground with disheveled hair, stroking Liang Yumei's back , keep silent.Big guys, look at me, I look at you, no one dares to ask aloud, because it is quiet tonight.But at this scene, there are Liang Yuzhou's bare arms and Cui Xique's thin clothes, and everyone can guess some of them without asking.

"Xi'er, you have always had the most ideas. You should help your fourth aunt to think carefully about how to make her and your fourth uncle live a more worry-free life." After Sun finished speaking, Jin Xi had finished her brain, and Sun called Holding Jinxi's hand, she asked in a low voice.

Seeing Sun's expectant and relying eyes nearby, Jin Xi couldn't help rubbing her forehead and wanting to smile, when did she become the all-rounder in their minds?

"Mother, there are two ways to do this." Jin Xi dropped her hand and said with a faint smile.

"Ah?" Sun was astonished, and quickly asked, "Which two methods? Tell me quickly and listen."

"Either, hurry up and find a husband's family for my sister-in-law to marry, or let the four uncles and aunts live separately." Jin Xi said, if he wants to treat the symptoms, he can only do so.

Sun's eyes, which had just brightened up, dimmed by two points in an instant, and said: "The first thing you said is to find Meier's husband's house. Your fourth aunt and I have also planned, but Meier's marriage right belongs to your grandma. Well, it's not that us sisters-in-law can decide, even if we go to introduce some kind of man, you may still criticize us for being intolerant, wishing to send Meier out earlier. No way! "

"Then the only way is to divide the family." Jin Xi pouted.

"Separation? Hey, I can't mention this in front of them. Encouraging others to separate families is an act of disobedience. There is a god three feet above me! If someone else hears it, I will have to poke my spine! Let's talk , they don't have that much interest in the young couple, so I, as a sister-in-law, naturally can't mention it." Sun once again vetoed Jinxi's proposal, waved his hand, and said: "Forget it, let's not bother about this matter, Jiajia There are hard scriptures to recite, if we can help your fourth uncle in other areas in the future, we will definitely help, let them worry about this family matter by themselves!"

Jin Xi curled up her lips and smiled, Sun didn't know, but in the bottom of Cui Xique's heart, she always envied Jin Xi's family to live apart like this.Because Cui Xique had intentionally or unintentionally expressed such intentions many times in the early chats with Jin Xi.However, Mrs. Sun is right, this matter is mainly about the relationship between Liang Yuzhou and his wife and Lao Liangtou and the others, there is no need for them to worry so deeply.Jin Xi is very pleased with Sun's kindness and the rational balance beyond kindness. Very well, Sun's thoughts and awareness are also improving day by day!
"Mother, you're right if you think like this. My uncle and aunt are close to our family, but we are still two families after all, with grandparents in between. Later, in other places, if the fourth uncle and the others need it, we will try our best to help, but we will not be able to help with these housework. From now on, I will not allow my mother to put her mind on other people's affairs, and celebrate the new year tomorrow Now, I want my mother to be happy, and we are the only ones in my eyes!" Jin Xi hugged Sun's arm, shaking her lightly.

Sun smiled, scratched Jinxi's nose, and said: "What a girl, you are still acting like a baby with your mother, is she ashamed! Well, well, mother will promise you everything, be happy and happy !"

……

On New Year's Eve, Jinxi's family put together two big tables of eight immortals in the main room in the front yard. The whole family sat down, and the children sat together. Looking at the third and fourth children, Liang Yuzhong and Cai Jinshan were studying the daughter Hong that Jin Xi had brought back from the old winery in the county.

Cai Qingyang set up the firecrackers in the open space in front of the main room. Seeing the manpower, Mrs. Sun found that Mrs. Jian hadn't arrived yet, and insisted on waiting for Mrs. Jian in the kitchen to wash her hands and put them on the table before allowing Cai Qingyang to set off the firecrackers before meals. , Jane's came over, Jin Xi quickly got up and pulled her to sit beside her.Jane was flattered and uneasy, Mama Dong waved to her with a smile and said: "The owner's family and the eldest lady are so close to us, we naturally can't push it too far, you should sit down quickly, the children are hungry!"

Jane just sat down, her hips were only half off the stool, she looked at the rich dishes on the table, she was so grateful and excited that she couldn't speak.

Amidst the crisp and loud sound of firecrackers, the New Year's Eve dinner finally started. Liang Yuzhong toasted, the big guys clinked glasses together, and then the children happily started chopsticks, Liang Yuzhong and Cai's father and son began to exchange glasses.Mrs. Sun, Mrs. Dong was persuading her to eat. Jinxi caught a glimpse of Mrs. Jian beside her, who was still a little cautious, and only picked up a few dishes in front of her. He smiled and said: "The public chopsticks are over there, I can't reach them, sister-in-law, don't mind if I use my own chopsticks!"

Jin Xi is a clean, healthy young girl, smart and dexterous, Jane admires it from the bottom of her heart, but it's too late, how could she dislike her?So she hurriedly shook her head with a smile, Jin Xi admired Jane's hard-working but down-to-earth character.

After drinking for three rounds, Cai Jinshan was a little bit drunk, looking at the bustling family on the big table, seeing his host pouring wine for himself, persuading Qingyang to eat, seeing his wife and Dong Ma talking and laughing affectionately Laughing, teasing the third young master and the fourth young master, looking at the affectionate look of the eldest lady, the second lady, and his granddaughter and grandson, Cai Jinshan's chest was filled with a strong emotion. There never was.

Is it shock, accident, excitement, gratitude, touch, joy, or sincere admiration and emotion?All of these are available!Cai Jinshan recalled his family's previous experience, not to mention how he acted cautiously in the mansion of the original owner in Qing'an Prefecture City, how he fulfilled his duties as a humble servant and had children with his family, even if he brought his family with him later. I went to the Zhuangzi on the other side of the mountain forest to work as a steward, but every time I went back to report things to my boss, which time did I receive such treatment?Even if it's the Chinese New Year, it's nothing more than staying far away in your own hut, and at most getting some rewards would be a gift.

Although today's new owner is far inferior to the rich family that Cai Jinshan sold himself to before, no matter in terms of financial resources, material resources, family background or other things, what Cai Jinshan found here is not only the responsibility of being a housekeeper, but also no longer being a housekeeper. Taking this compound in Jinjishan Village as a foothold for making a living and doing business, it also creates a sense of belonging and a sense of steadfastness from the bottom of my heart!

"Lao Cai, why are you so dazed? I just walked back and forth three times with Qingyang, hehe, let alone, this kid Qingyang usually hums honestly, and he really can't drink too much! Father tiger has no dogs, old man Cai, come on, come on, we still have a few back and forth, don't pretend to be drunk!" Someone patted on the shoulder suddenly, it was Liang Yuzhong who was about to pour wine for himself with a flagon, Cai Jinshan came back to his senses Come, quickly took the jug, and said: "I'm so happy today, Master, we won't return tonight if we don't get drunk!"

"Okay, don't go home if you don't get drunk!" Liang Yuzhong was in high spirits, his voice was so loud, the women and children on the table didn't stop drinking all night, they laughed and watched these men make trouble.

……

Originally, I planned to go to Lao Liang's house to pay New Year's greetings at night. It was like this in the village, and they started to walk around at night when the road was near. Anyway, every house and every house would be lit tonight, and the outside of the yard would also be lit, and the light was very bright.However, after this year's New Year's Eve dinner, there was a sudden drizzle, and Liang Yuzhong was a little drunk again. Sun and Jin Xi decided to go to the village with the third and fourth children in their arms tomorrow morning. Lao Liangtou and Mrs. Tan kowtowed to pay New Year's greetings.

To watch the new year at night, Cai Qingyang had already helped two or three warm buckets to go to the main room in front. Watching Jinrou Wenyun Wen'an and the others play around, Dong Ma and Sun Shi watched from the sidelines.Liang Yuzhong and Cai Jinshan sat on a large chair beside them and talked about the sowing of the family's field in the coming year.

Jian Shi and Jinxi finished packing the dishes and came to the front, it was no fun just sitting and watching the night like this, Jinxi remembered that when she stayed in the county town a few years ago, there was a new thing there: horse hanging.Jin Xi then bought a pair of horse-slings and brought them back, which just happened to come in handy at this moment.Mrs. Sun, Mrs. Dong, Mrs. Jian, and myself all happened to be at the same table.

Mrs. Sun was also very curious about this. Mrs. Dong was open-minded and cheerful, and she was eager to try it out. Mrs. Jian couldn't help it, but she couldn't stand the big guy's invitation, so she had to sit up. However, she took Cai Qingyang to help behind her. , the New Year's Eve in the main room was full of excitement and warmth, and the time passed by unconsciously.

On the first day of the first lunar month, I went to kowtow to Lao Liangtou and Mrs. Tan's New Year's greetings, and then went to visit each other's friends in the village to visit each other's New Year's greetings.I don’t go out on the second day of the first lunar month, but I also have New Year’s greetings, but it’s for relatives who passed away those years ago.Because Yang Aimin from the Cui family was gone during the Ghost Festival last year, and on the second day of the first lunar month this year, all the relatives of the Cui family would go to the Cui family to pay New Year's greetings, so Jin Xi's family naturally sent Liang Yuzhong as their representative.

On the third day of the first lunar month, Liang Yuzhong drove a family of six into the mountains to visit Sunjiagou to pay New Year's greetings. Cai Qingyang drove an ox cart to follow behind, pulling all the gifts tied up. This trip into Sunjiagou not only gave Mrs. Sun, Father Sun had to visit those families in Sunjiagou who had good friends with Liang Yuzhong's family to celebrate the New Year, so they prepared a lot of gifts, but they could fit in Liang Yuzhong's bullock cart. Cai Jinshan proposed to drive another bullock cart and let Cai Qingyang escort him there. Liang Yuzhong felt that it was too much trouble and unnecessary, but Jinxi agreed with Cai Jinshan's words and asked to get another car and Cai Qingyang sent him there.

Jin Xi's arrangement naturally has her concerns.Although this area is a rural village in a peaceful and prosperous age, but everything is not one thousand and one thousand.No matter how simple the people of Jinjishan Village are, wouldn't there be people like Li Changgen and Liang Yuju?This trip into Sunjiagou requires a lot of detours, and they are all desolate mountain paths with few people.Especially Jinxi's family is not as good as before, it used to be poor, but now, in the surrounding villages, they are all well-known and wealthy families.

As long as the villagers in the surrounding villages inquired about it, they would know that on the third day of the first lunar month, Liang Yuzhong's family must pass through the mountain to go to Sunjiagou. take care of matters.It's always good to be more prepared.Cai Qingyang was the son of Cai Jinshan and his wife when they were in Qing'an Prefecture. Because he was tall and big, he was trained according to the standards of a big family's nursing home since he was a child. With him in his company, Jinxi can feel more at ease.

...

This trip into the mountains to Sunjiagou went smoothly.Taozhi knew that they were here today to pay New Year's greetings, and they were preparing meals early in the morning. After lunch, the sun was still hanging on their heads, so they set off to bid farewell and return to Jinji Mountain Village.

Returning along the original road, the way back was also very smooth. Soon, the sound of wooden wheels creaking and rolling came from the winding path ahead, and soon, a bullock cart came head-on with several people.Mrs. Sun immediately recognized the woman about her age sitting in the bullock cart in front of her, and called out her name all at once.

"Cuiyun?"

"Yuzhen?"

The two women on the two bullock carts shouted each other's name excitedly. The men of the two families stopped the bullock carts, and the two women jumped out of the carts and ran to the middle of the bullock carts, holding each other's hands first. After looking at each other, the woman named Cuiyun kept saying: "I haven't seen you for more than ten years, and your figure is still as good as before, and you don't look old!"

"You are still the same as you were in Sunjiagou at that time. If you like me, you will praise me to death. I am the mother of four children. I am old!" Sun said excitedly.

"Really, where are you? Let me see, it looks like you, don't you? When we were all girls in our mother's house, you were a flower in Sunjiagou!" Cuiyun said, looking towards Liang Yuzhong. In the past, Liang Yuzhong and Jinxi often heard Sun talking about their natal family, and one of the most mentioned names was Cuiyun. Cuiyun married into Fujia Village, five miles to the left of Jinji Mountain, a few years before Sun Ji.Looking at the degree of intimacy between Cuiyun and the Sun family now, it must have been similar to Jinxi and Qinya at that time.

Both parties enthusiastically introduced their family members in the bullock cart. The driver in Cuiyun's bullock cart was not her man, but her eldest son, who was two years older than Jin Xi, and the other two sitting in the back were Cuiyun. My son is about the same age as Jinxi and Jinrou, and I don’t see Cuiyun’s man, but Mrs. Sun asked, and Cuiyun said that the man went up the mountain to cut trees and broke his leg when he was young, and he was lying at home. It was the first time, and it was very slow, otherwise it would have been so late that I hadn't entered Sunjiagou Cuiyun's mother's house to pay New Year's greetings after lunch.

"Yuzhen, let me tell you, just now when we came over there, there was a man with a white cloth sewn on the toe of his shoe at the three-fork intersection in front of him. I know which village in this mountain it is from, it’s just like that in the first lunar month, it’s old and unlucky, I’m afraid he’s a lunatic, hurry up and pass over there later, don’t let that person get into trouble!” Cuiyun Remind Sun Shidao.

In this era, most people don't wear white shoes when they wear shoes. Unless someone in the family has passed away, they have to be filial piety such as grandparents, so that a piece of white cloth the size of a plaster is sewn on the toe of the shoe.

Mrs. Sun and Liang Yuzhong were grateful for Cuiyun's reminder, nodded their heads hastily, and the two women said a few more words. Seeing that there was really no time to delay, they had no choice but to part ways reluctantly.
