Farmer's Ruyi Manor

Chapter 83
"Your brother is still sleeping. Let your grandma take care of you these few days. Mother will comb your hair, don't move, and eat your food."

"Mother, can I get rid of these two little braids? They don't look good." Xiaohua wants her mother to change her hairstyle, and every time she wears these two little brats, she feels depressed thinking about it.

"Which one do you want if you don't want this one? You are still young, and when you are 10 years old, mother will change it for you." Jing Niang could not argue.

"Mom, I want to wear new clothes, I don't want to wear this one anymore, you and I want to wear the pink one." Xiaohua wants to wear new clothes, bright colors, in modern times her favorite color is red.

"That one is included in your baggage, you can just wear this one, don't make any comments, eat quickly, we are going out, the sun will be bright and hot in a while."

Xiaohua looked at the pickled sour bamboo shoots, hot and sour bamboo shoots, bayberry, cloth, salted rabbit, flour and so on on the ox cart.Clumsily climbed into the bullock cart, "Okay, mother, we can go."

Xu Yu said, "Mother, tell me about grandma, that is, whether she is a good person, grandpa, aunt, and two uncles." Xiao Hua was really curious about her mother's family.

"Your grandma and grandpa are very nice people, and there are two uncles. Your aunt is smarter. You go, you want dessert, you know?" Jing Niang didn't know how to describe her sister-in-law.

My eldest brother only got married four years ago, and finally married a daughter-in-law, but that daughter-in-law is too shrewd, calculating everything and haggling over every detail.

At the entrance of Wujiazhuang Village.

"Father, did you say that the person who brought the message gave the wrong date? Why hasn't Jing Niang come back?" The two old men stood under the big tree at the entrance of the village and looked into the distance.

They are Jingniang's father and mother, and Xiaohua's grandmother and grandfather.

"It's not wrong, don't worry." The old man with a hunchback, a wrinkled face, and a thin body comforted his wife.

"My son's father, you said that Jing Niang hasn't come back for three years. I don't know how she is doing. Since the family was conscripted, everything in the family has been supported by her alone. My poor girl, these few days We haven’t come back for years. It’s all our own incompetence, so we can’t pull her out.” Another woman with a few black hairs sandwiched between her white hair was also a hunchbacked old lady. In the days of my daughter, I was so sad that I couldn't help but wipe the corners of my eyes.

"Mother, do you know those two old people at the entrance of the village?" Xiaohua saw the two old people standing there from a distance, as if they were waiting for someone, and couldn't help but feel moved.

"That's your grandma and grandpa." Jing Niang narrowed her eyes and looked, isn't that her parents?Looking at the old look of his parents, his eyes couldn't help but heat up.

"Father, take a look, is that Jing Niang on the ox cart over there?" Xiao Hua's grandmother tightly grasped her wife's cuff, fearing that it was not her daughter.In the past few years, she missed her daughter so much, but her family was poor and she couldn't leave. In addition, the eldest daughter-in-law held all the family's money, so she didn't have a lot of money, so even if she wanted to make up for it, she couldn't do it.In addition, it took an hour to go from Wujiazhuang to Chengjiakeng, and she was not in good health, so she couldn't go there.Her youngest son has not yet married a wife, and because of this, she has already had gray hair all over her head.

"Father, mother, why are you waiting here? Come up quickly, let's go back together." Jing Niang pulled her parents into the bullock cart, and looked closely at them. They have changed a lot in the past few years. She is much older, seeing her parents like this, Jingniang can't help but burst into tears.

"Grandma, grandpa, I'm Xiaohua." Xiaohua greeted sweetly, intending to dilute the melancholy atmosphere.

"Okay, Xiaohua, come over to grandma to have a look, our Xiaohua is so beautiful." Grandma wiped the corners of her eyes, pulled Xiaohua over, and patted Xiaohua's hand with a smile on her face.

"Jing Niang, Xiao Hua is alright?" Grandpa Xiao Hua knew that Xiao Hua was stupid before, so she had never seen Xiao Hua before, but seeing Xiao Hua like this, with her eyes rolling and looking like an elf, how could it be that she is a smart girl.

"Okay, okay, everything is okay. The family is much better now, thanks to her, God bless you." Jing Niang was just about to talk to her mother about Xiaohua, but when she looked around, she was really not talking. The place.

"We're here, Mom and Dad, let's go back and talk about it." Seeing many people around curiously looking over, and some familiar people coming to say hello, I said hello first, and then went back to my mother's house before talking.

"Songgui (the eldest son of the village), sorry for the inconvenience, my aunt has already arrived home."

"It's okay, auntie, go in and rest quickly, it's hot outside, I'm going back." Dagui watched Jingniang and Xiaohua's grandpa and grandma unload their things, then said hello and went back.

Xu Shi heard the movement outside the door, and two men and a woman walked out of the house.Xiao Hua thought to herself, this is the uncle and the second uncle, and the other one should be the eldest aunt.

"Hello, uncles and auntie." Xiao Hua politely stepped forward to play with her back, and said hello.

"This is our little flower. It's so beautiful. Come in and rest for a while. Sis, you're back. Mother misses you so much that she can't sleep." Xiaohua's second uncle grinned when he saw his sister and niece whom he hadn't seen for many years. With a smile on his mouth, several people in the family moved the things back into the house with their hands and feet.

The woman who walked out of the house, Xiao Hua saw that she was a shrewd person.First, seeing grandma and grandpa not happy, looking at her and mother, looking up and down, and looking at the things on the ground, he quickly smiled and greeted them to enter the house.

Looking at the house in front of her, which is not much better than her own home, Xiao Hua's heart aches.The same three bedrooms, one for grandma and grandfather, one for younger uncle, and one for uncle and husband.The other is a kitchen, a dining room, and a small room for clutter.Although it is a mud embryo room, it looks as if it will collapse at any time.Xiaohua thought to herself, if it rains more, it will definitely fall down.

Several people moved their things to Xiaohua's grandma's room, and they were sitting together, ready to chat. Jingniang looked at her sister-in-law, and first took out the two cotton cloths wrapped in coarse cloth.

"Father, this piece of cloth is for you and elder brother, as well as Guang Guang, to make clothes. Two clothes are enough for one person." He took out the navy blue cotton cloth and handed it to Grandpa Xiaohua.

"Mother, this one is for you and sister-in-law to make clothes." Then he took out another blue cotton cloth and handed it to Grandma Xiaohua.

"What are you spending so much money on? Cotton cloth. It's so expensive. What are the peasants doing wearing such expensive clothes?" Grandpa Xiaohua scolded with a straight face. Although he was very touched by his daughter's thoughtfulness in his heart, he still felt that the money was spent. not worth it.

"Father, you can just make some clothes, and I bought them too. I still have them at home, and they're not too expensive." Jing Niang sighed.

"Yeah, dad, since my little sister bought it, let's take it." Xiaohua's eldest aunt, Liu, stepped forward to touch the blue cloth with a smile, thinking in her heart that she could make some clothes.
