Orion's pretty daughter-in-law

Chapter 12

It won't be long before he should go back to the academy in the town to continue his studies. After dinner, he still has an article to write assigned by his husband. He really doesn't want to waste energy on these trivial matters and listen to the endless noise from his family.

It really doesn't matter if he misses a meal of wild game. The family will give him enough money to spend when he returns to the academy. If he wants to eat, he can buy it in the town.

Yun Chengyao's one sentence can be as good as Yun Jinghao's ten or twenty sentences, and the words are so beautiful that Mr. Yun and Li Shuxiu both stretched their brows, dawdled for a while, and finally agreed to let them go back to her in the distance tomorrow. The mother's family in the mountain village.

Of course, it is impossible for the Yun family to let Yun Jinghao go back empty-handed without any prey. Li Shuxiu reluctantly asked the eldest daughter-in-law Zhang to help prepare something. How can their father be an old boy and a learned person? It's really too shabby, and it's not good to spread the word.

No matter how many things there are, at least put on a facade.

After the meal, Zhang, Zhao, and the three female elders of Wang who kept muttering in their mouths made some sweet potato cakes with wild sweet potatoes and flour, which is commonly known as sweet potato cakes, and sweet potato balls, which are counted as pastries. .

When making these cakes, it is necessary to put some sugar. When Wang sprinkled the sugar, his expression was as distressed as cutting flesh. These days, sweet things like white sugar are very expensive, and the Yun family only bought such a few months. Eat sparingly.

Even if these pastries were the most important gifts, the others were some pickled vegetables that were pickled by the family, and the money was also given. In this regard, Li Shuxiu took out ten coins.

Luo Jinxiu laughed angrily at the old lady's stinginess.

……

When going to bed that night, Luo Jinxiu used the wood-type supernatural power to recuperate her body as usual, and when she woke up the next morning she was more energetic than the day before.

The women in the village had to get up to work before dawn, it was impossible for her to go back to her natal home with Yun Jinghao so early, and she still couldn't avoid any of the things she was supposed to do in the morning.
After the laborers at home finished their work in the field and came back to eat, cleaned up the dishes, and Yun Jinghao packed up the things he was going to bring to Yuanshan Village, Luo Jinxiu changed into clean clothes and prepared to go out.

Before leaving the house, Yun Deshun and Mrs. Zhao, as parents, gave a few words of advice regardless of whether they liked it or not. As for the others, especially the juniors such as Yun Chengzu and Yun Chenghui, they wrote clearly on their faces. Not happy.

There was no other reason. When Yun Jinghao came back from the mountain in the morning, he actually brought back two pheasants!
Most of the Yun family originally thought that he would either bring nothing back, or that he was just a not-so-big hare. Who would have thought that there were actually two chickens!
Yun Chengzu was a glutton, and he muttered a few words unhappily during breakfast, and tried to make Yun Jinghao change his mind and keep at least one at home. The old lady Li Shuxiu felt a little distressed at first, but was told Complacent, it was because Mr. Yun couldn't bear that face and backed down just because of a pheasant that he stopped them from making a fuss.

Also because of these two pheasants, not to mention, all the presents that Luo Jinxiu will bring back home this time are really not very small, which is more reasonable.

When she went out with the pastry made by her aunt and others yesterday, Luo Jinxiu could clearly feel several unfriendly gazes behind her.

Not far from Yun's house, I ran into several people one after another, and I was very curious about where they were going with a lot of things. After asking, I knew that Yun Jinghao was going to take his new wife back to his natal home, so he was stunned.

Before, many people in the village were secretly talking about whether the Yun family married a new daughter-in-law without spending a lot of money. Was it to save trouble that they would not even be allowed to return to the house for three dynasties? thing.

The distance between Yuanshan Village and Shangxi Village was not too far, and the Yun family didn't have large livestock, so it was impossible to lend them any, so the two had to walk all the way there.

It took nearly an hour to arrive at Yuanshan Village. When we arrived at the entrance of the village, everyone in the village was probably busy in the fields or at home. We didn't see anyone, and didn't attract attention. We found Zhao's house along the way, which is Luo Jinxiu's. Stepfather's house.

"Sister! My sister is back!"

In a courtyard that was a circle smaller than the half-old and stale courtyard of the Yun family, a little girl who was watering the vegetable garden inadvertently raised her head just in time to see them coming in. Putting down the water ladle, he rushed towards Luo Jinxiu who had already reached the gate of the courtyard.

Luo Jinxiu almost fell backwards with a weight of several tens of catties, but it was Yun Jinghao who quickly stood behind her and helped her resist part of the impact.

Luo Jinxiu helplessly looked down at the thin girl in front of her. Before she could speak, she heard a sound of running from the back of the house. Another boy who looked very similar to the little girl appeared in front of the two of them. Luo Jinxiu's eyes lit up, and she ran over quickly, but she was a little more reserved than the girl in her arms, and stopped in front of her, calling out in her tender voice, "Sister, you're back! "

These two children are her twin brothers and sisters, Luo Jinshu and Luo Jinyu, who are eight years old this year. It can be seen that their complexion is sallow, thin and small, and they don't look like eight-year-old children at all. People who don't know think that Only five or six years old!

The conditions of stepfather Zhao Wancai's family are very average in Yuanshan Village. Before Luo's mother remarried, she had been eating enough for the whole family by herself. Suddenly, there were a few more mouths to feed. Zhao Wancai himself was not happy about it. Rations, so many times, including before Luo Jinxiu got married, the three of their children often had to eat only half full at Zhao's house, and occasionally they were hungry.

Long-term malnutrition, children grow naturally small.

"Jinshu, Jinyu, where's the family?" Luo Jinxiu couldn't name his parents, so he could only omit the title again.

Just now Jinyu's yell was very loud, and several people who were close to each other poked their heads out of their own yards, but no one came out of the house. Are Luo Mu and Zhao Wancai not at home?

Luo Jinshu wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "Mother went to wash clothes by the river, she should be back soon, sister...brother-in-law." Yun Jinghao looked towards her with high eyes, who seemed expressionless Taking a quick glance at her body, she said, "You guys go into the room and sit down, I'll call mother back."

After speaking, he rushed out of the yard without waiting for their answer.

Luo Jinyu's big, round eyes kept staring at the two pheasants Yun Jinghao was carrying in his hand. When she noticed that Yun Jinghao was looking at her, she immediately blushed, lowered her head in embarrassment, and said in a low voice: : "Sister, brother-in-law, you must be tired after walking all the way, come in quickly, I will pour water for you to drink."

Entering the house, both Yun Jinghao and Luo Jinxiu subconsciously glanced at the environment in the house. The Yun family's house was built before the disaster, when the Yun family's conditions were good, and it was considered to be at a medium level in the entire Shangxi Village.

But Zhao's house is smaller than Yun's house in terms of area. The house is even more shabby. It's not a big main room, but there is only a half-old wooden storage cabinet for things, a table, and a few benches.

There are two main rooms on the left and right, and the inside is the kitchen. The main room on the left is where Zhao Wancai and Luo Mu slept. There is almost no room left.

Although Luo Jinxiu already knew the situation of the Zhao family from memory, she was still glad that she was already married when she came, otherwise it would be too aggrieved for her to live in such a small place.

She and Yun Jinghao's 'room' in the Yun's house was also small, but the whole Yun's house was quite spacious and the yard was big enough.

When Luo Jinxiu had just finished drinking a glass of water, Luo Mu and Mrs. Zhao Chen came back with a basin of washed clothes.

The two stood up as juniors to greet each other, and Luo Jinyu also hurried out to take the wooden basin from Zhao Chenshi, and went to the clothes drying pole to start drying the clothes.

Mrs. Zhao Chen wiped her hands that were still a little wet. Seeing that their expressions could not tell whether they were happy or not, she asked suspiciously as she walked into the room: "Why did you come back at this time and didn't say anything before?"

Yun Jinghao said: "Just after visiting the hall, Jinxiu was in poor health and lay in bed for three days. She missed the three dynasties and returned home. In the past few days, her health has improved a little, so she came back to see her mother-in-law, and her younger brothers and sisters."

Zhao Chenshi let out an oh and didn't say anything more, but when he entered the room and saw the small pile of things in the corner, his face finally relaxed a lot.

Luo Jinxiu just pretended not to see the change in her expression, and asked, "Where's Jinshu?"

Zhao Chen said: "Before, your father and I didn't know that you were coming back today, so I sent Jin Shu to the field to call for someone."

Before Zhao Wancai came back, Mrs. Zhao Chen casually asked her if she was doing well at her husband's house. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was not distracted by the question. After a few sentences, she completely focused on what they brought In terms of things, the two pheasants were quickly taken to the kitchen, and the others were also Barbara. I found that apart from the pheasants and pastries, pickled pickles, which she could pickle herself, were all worthless things.

When Luo Jinxiu took out the ten cents from Li Shuxiu, the displeasure in Zhao Chen's heart was written directly on his face, and he squinted at Yun Jinghao, and said in a nonchalant way: "Son-in-law, you Why do you look down on people at home, ten pennies is not even enough for a matchmaker to thank a matchmaker, so I have the nerve to take it out, who is this sending?"

Yun Jinghao didn't say a word, and Luo Jinyu next to her was young, so she didn't dare to intervene casually at such a time, she just sneaked a timid glance at her sister.

"Yun has a lot of family members, and their expenses are high. The family doesn't have much money, and the Shuxiu that Cheng Yao pays for his studies in the academy is not cheap. The ten cents is all he can get aside from his daily expenses, so don't dislike him. "Luo Jinxiu said casually: "Our family didn't hire a matchmaker before, so you can keep the ten coins for yourself instead of taking them out."

When she married Yun Jinghao, the Zhao family just randomly found a familiar aunt to act as a matchmaker, and the Zhao Chen family just gave the aunt miscellaneous noodles intentionally. Li Shuxiu of the Yun family is on par.
