sweet wife little confused

Chapter 3 An Family

It's spring, and everything is revived. At a glance, the fields are all green, which makes people feel pleasing to the eye. An Xiu'er walks on the ridge with a basket, and even feels refreshed.

Farmers are planting rice seedlings in the fields. Anjia also has five acres of paddy fields. This paddy field has been around for some years, and it can barely be called medium. Every year, An and his second brother work hard to take care of it, but they still can't harvest much food. After all kinds of taxes and fees, I can barely make ends meet.

Not far away is her own field, An Xiu'er walked faster, looked at Father An, An Tiemu and others from a distance, she opened her mouth and shouted: "Father, second brother and second sister-in-law, I will send you a The meal is here..."

Her voice is clear and melodious, soft, like a yellow oriole coming out of the valley. Father An feels happy when he hears it. Every time he sees his daughter, his heart is sweet. He always loves An Xiuer when he is a daughter. If the eyeballs.

"Xiu'er is here to deliver the food, let's take a break." He straightened up in the field as he spoke.

After all, he was old and squatted in the field all morning. Right now, he couldn't straighten his waist, but An Tiemu next to him helped him, and then he straightened up smoothly. An Tiemu supported him He came to the edge of the field.

"Father, are you okay?" An Xiu'er quickly put down her things, came over and helped Old An to sit down.

Father An went to work early in the morning. An Xiu'er felt the importance of family members even more after passing through that dream. Now when she first saw him, seeing his gray hair and stooped body, her eyes filled with tears in an instant .

"Silly girl, why are you crying? Daddy is fine." Seeing that An Xiu'er's eyes were red, Daddy An was very distressed. He quickly stretched out his hand to wipe her tears away, but saw that his hands were covered with mud , and retracted his hands resentfully, rubbed them together, and said, "Xiu'er, don't cry."

"I didn't cry." An Xiu'er shook her head, wiped her tears with her hands, and said, "It hurts me to see Daddy still working in the field at his age."

"Who said Daddy is old? Daddy is still young." Father An pretended to be angry and said, "Uncle Zhang next door is 70 years old and still works in the field. Your father and I are only in our early [-]s."

It's good that Father An didn't say this, but when he said this, An Xiu'er only felt more uncomfortable, obviously he was only in his early sixties, but anyone who saw him would think he was a 70-year-old old man, these For this year, he worked too hard for this family.

The second sister-in-law Dong came back from washing her hands by the river, and when she saw An Xiu'er's appearance, she smiled, "Didn't my sister bring us food, why are you still crying?"

Hearing this, An Xiu'er felt a little embarrassed, she quickly wiped away her tears, and helped Father An up from the ridge of the field: "Yes, Father, Second Brother, you should wash your hands quickly, the delivery of dinner is late today, you must Are you all hungry?"

The river is not far below the ridge of Anjia's field. When they finished their work and rested, they would wash their hands and feet and put down their trousers to avoid catching cold.

When they went to the river, An Xiu'er opened the lid to serve them a good meal. Mrs. Dong was also very surprised to see that there were fish and meat today, and asked, "Xiu'er, what day is it today? How rich is it?"

"It was Zhang Zhenan who came to our house. He brought it up. I was afraid that it would not be fresh after a long time, so I asked my mother to cook a fish. Thinking of the hard work of my second brother and sister-in-law, I asked my mother to kindly give me a small piece of fish." The meat is steamed." An Xiu'er put a piece of meat from the pickled vegetables into Dong's bowl as she spoke, and said with a smile, "Eat, sister-in-law."

"This..." Nowadays, people don't treat daughters-in-law very well. An's family is not rich. Ever since Mrs. Dong got married, she seldom eats meat. Therefore, when she saw the meat that An Xiuer gave her today, she felt a little bit choked up.

Just about to say something, An Xiu'er has already turned her face and waved to Father An and An Tiemu, "Father, second brother, come up quickly."

"Here we come." The two came up from the slope, and An Xiu'er replaced the rice that had already been served. When Father An saw it, he also looked at An Xiu'er in puzzlement, and said, "Why is there still meat here?" Woolen cloth."

"Didn't mother love you so much that she made this for you?" An Xiu'er didn't explain further to Father An, but said: "Just eat it. Here, there are still fish here. You have worked hard, so eat more."

"Xiu'er, have you eaten yet?" Father An asked casually.

"No, I'll eat with my mother later when I go back." An Xiuer replied.

"Oh." Father An nodded, but he ate a bit faster. After eating a meter of brown rice, he waved to An Xiu'er who was watching, and said, "Come on, Xiu'er."

"What's the matter, dad?" An Xiu'er walked over.

Father An picked up a piece of meat from the pickle bowl, and was about to bring it to An Xiu'er's mouth, and said, "Come on, open your mouth."

"I don't want to eat, there are some at home." An Xiu'er shook her head quickly, and said: "Daddy, you can eat, mother made it for you specially, don't worry, mother is so kind to me, so I will keep it for me at home."

"Your mother is your mother, and father is father." Father An said persistently.

"Then I'll take a small bite." Seeing Father An's love for his daughter, An Xiu'er was also quite moved, so she leaned over, opened her small mouth, and bit down on this piece of meat with her white teeth. small corner.

"Is it delicious?" Seeing that An Xiu'er had eaten, Father An asked An Xiu'er with a smile, just like teasing the little girl from before, even the wrinkles on his face were full of love.

"Delicious." An Xiu'er nodded, chewing the meat carefully, she really thought it was delicious, the miserable life in the dream made her too scared, now chewing this meat, just I feel that my lips and teeth are fragrant, and my heart is satisfied.

"Then you have another bite?" Father An picked it up again and wanted to give it to An Xiu'er.

An Xiu'er refused: "I won't eat, Daddy, you can eat, I'm going home to eat soon after you finish eating."

Seeing that An Xiu'er sincerely refused, Father An ate it himself.

Today's meal was very delicious, Father An and the others ate cleanly, An Xiu'er poured water for them again, after they finished eating, they packed up their things and went back with a basket.

Walking to the door, she saw Da Ya and Er Ya wandering around the door carrying a big bamboo basket. She was a little strange and asked forward, "Da Ya Er Ya, what are you doing at the door? Hurry up and go back to eat."

Hearing the voice behind them, the big girl and the second girl turned their heads, seeing that it was An Xiu'er, they lowered their heads, looked timid, and called out in a low voice: "Auntie."

The two nieces had withered hair and were both thin and weak. Seeing their appearance, An Xiu'er couldn't be harsh, so she just said softly, "Why don't you go home?"

"We haven't finished today's task. Grandma will definitely scold me when I get home." The two nieces said and showed An Xiu'er the basket. Each of the baskets was not full, and there was only half a basket of green pigweed in it. .

"It's not finished if it's not finished, what's the big deal, let's go back to eat first." An Xiu'er coaxed softly, then patted their heads, and said: "Come on, go back with me, I'll give you a good word later .”

The two nieces raised their heads after hearing what An Xiuer said, and seeing her gentle face, they felt a little more at ease, and followed An Xiuer into the door.

As soon as she entered the door, Mrs. Liang came over affectionately, took the basket from An Xiu'er's hand, and said softly: "Xiu'er, you are hungry too, go wash your hands and eat."

After An Xiu'er left, she glared at the two granddaughters again, seeing that the baskets in their hands were not full, she scolded: "You two dead girls, you have been outside all morning, and you just picked so much pigweed? What's the use of raising you!"

"Grandma, there are too many people picking pigweed, we simply..."

Before they could finish their explanation, Mrs. Liang interrupted it, saying: "Don't argue with me, you can't do it, how can others do it? Look at the Chunhua next door, how capable it is, you two, just It's just a waste of food!"

"Mother." An Xiu'er came over with the vegetables and rice, put it on the table, and said with a smile: "Who said our family's eldest daughter is not as good as Chun Hua, our family's eldest daughter can also do it, look, You can help you with work at such a young age, and you won't enjoy the blessings in the future."

Hearing An Xiu'er's gentle and gentle words, Liang's originally angry temper subsided, she sighed, and said: "How can I enjoy their blessings, as long as they are obedient and obedient, I will marry a good family in the future." That's enough."

As she said that, she became depressed again, thinking of An Xiu'er, such a beautiful person, with such a gentle temper and such a kind heart, how could she not be able to promise a good family.

Eye sockets were slightly red, Liang Shi stood up on the pretext of serving a meal, and went to the kitchen in the back room.

After she left, An Xiu'er smiled at the big girls and the two girls: "Your grandma still loves you very much, but she is old and has to do so many things every day, you two should be more considerate, you know?"

"I know." The two little girls nodded.

An Xiu'er laughed too. In fact, in this family, the Liang family still treats her the best. Even her only grandson, An Ronghe, cannot surpass her in face.As for the two granddaughters, the Liang family can only say that they are passable. It is not uncommon for the elder sister and the second daughter to be scolded. However, people in the village are very harsh on their daughter-in-law and granddaughter. ok.

After a while, Mrs. Liang brought over the rice. An Xiu'er watched the brown rice in her bowl piled up into spikes, while her two nieces and Mrs. Liang's bowl was only half small, with a big sweet potato lying on top of the bowl.

An Xiu'er's eyes hurt when she saw it, she put some of the rice in the bowl into Liang's bowl, and said: "Mother, I can't eat so much, you can eat more."

"Why do you eat so little?" Liang covered her bowl with her hands, not letting An Xiu'er give her any more food from her bowl, and said: "Eat more, and marry that Zhang Zhen'an in the future I don't know if his big and thick people will treat you well."

An Xiu'er laughed and said: "Yes, people's hearts are mutual, if I treat him well, he will naturally treat me well."

"That's right." Mrs. Liang nodded, but her heart was still full of worries. Her daughter was too obedient. Instead of complaining about marrying her to such a reckless man, she comforted herself over and over again. It will feel better, seeing her resigned, well-behaved and sensible appearance, her heart is getting more and more sour.
