big sister headed home

Chapter 13

Jiangjiazhai was built on the mountainside. Their ancestors moved here more than 100 years ago. They found a large area with a gentle slope on the mountainside. They cut down trees to open up land and built houses on the hillside. According to the older generation, most of their ancestors were from the army and served as soldiers. After the war was won, they were given some money and sent back home, but their previous homeland was the battlefield of the generals. It has long since become a waste In this area, barbarians often come over, and the living conditions are very harsh.

These people who have experienced life and death on the battlefield 'don't want to settle down in such a place of right and wrong again' so these people who returned home and knew each other dragged their families and moved together' and came here' There were not many people who came here at the beginning. 100 people'With 100 years of reproduction, the size of Jiangjiazhai has more than doubled than before'There are nearly 600 people living in it.

In order to make it easier for the people in the village to come in and out, Jiangjiazhai gathered all the people in the village to work in turns a few years ago. It took two full years to open a road down the mountain. The road is not wide, but it is enough for a The trees on both sides of the road were also cut down, and the vehicles could come in and out freely. It was much more convenient to transport goods in the village. This was one of the reasons for the rapid growth of the population of Jiangjiazhai. There were many people in the villages near the village. Those who marry into the stockade are thinking of the people in the stockade's good hunting and medicinal skills, and these can be exchanged for money.

The hilltop chosen by Jiangjiazhai is the gentlest of the nearby hills, and the site was originally a relatively flat place, so the ancestors of Jiangjiazhai took a look at this place .Although there are wild beasts in the mountains, everyone in Jiangjiazhai has good hunting skills. They live on this mountain one by one, and the wild beasts on the mountain are also afraid of people, so they ran to other hills to make their homes. is also relatively safe.

The Jiang Chen family was originally a girl from the Jiang family village. Her real name was Chen Lihua. She was the youngest in the family. She was loved by her family since she was a child. She was afraid that her family would not know if her daughter was married, so she found a marriage in the village nearby. This family is Jiang Dameng's family. The two families are in the same village and live not far away. Speaking of which, the two children are also childhood sweethearts, and they know each other well.

Of course, Chen's parents are not the kind of unresponsive ones. They communicated with Jiang Dameng's parents in advance and said the meaning of accepting the marriage. Jiang Dameng's parents watched the two children grow up, so they naturally agreed that they had no objections, but To be on the safe side, let them pretend to ask the child's opinion unintentionally, and the same is true for Chen's parents. They pretended to mention it unintentionally during chatting, secretly watching their daughter's expression, and saw the youngest daughter with a shy face. First, Chen's mother knew that the marriage was settled, and the youngest daughter was also happy.

It's the same with Jiang Dameng. When he heard what his mother said, a big man blushed and nodded readily. This marriage was just like this. The two were childhood sweethearts, consensual, and after getting married, they lived happily ever after. sweet.

The Jiang family's parents are kind people, not the kind that are difficult to get along with. After Mrs. Chen came in, life went smoothly. Even if she didn't have children in the first few years, her parents-in-law didn't say a bad word. Such a family is very contented, and they do their best to serve their parents-in-law. Unfortunately, two years after she married into Jiang's family, her parents-in-law got seriously ill one after another. .

Mrs. Chen didn't dislike Jiang Ermeng, she consciously took on the role of the eldest sister-in-law as a mother, and took care of her very hard. Even after she had her own child, she didn't treat Jiang Ermeng badly, but she said she watched Jiang Ermeng with her own eyes. Ermeng has grown from a child to a young man, and the family relationship they spend together day and night is very deep.

To bring up Jiang Ermeng, Mrs. Chen has nothing else to ask for now, but to find a daughter-in-law for him as soon as possible to marry in and start a family. To Chen's surprise, she mentioned that the daughters of several families in the village were killed by Jiang. Ermeng refused firmly.The younger uncle who has always been very obedient sang a different tune to himself about the marriage, which really made Chen anxious.

On this day, Jiang Ermeng went to the county town and came back, his face was full of spring, and only after Chen's questioning did he say that he had fallen in love with a girl. Chen only felt that the big stone on his heart suddenly loosened, and he said It's not easy, she doesn't care that this girl is not from the village, as long as her uncle likes it, she, as a sister-in-law, will do her best to help him.

Originally, I thought about going to Doujia Village in a few days to inquire about the situation of the girl, but unfortunately the sky was not beautiful, and it rained for three days, so the matter was delayed.

It was raining outside, so Jiang Ermeng didn't go into the mountains, and sat at home weaving baskets. He was very handy, and he made baskets quickly and well.

Jiang Ermeng was working on his hands, and Dou Hua's figure flashed in his mind from time to time. He would giggle a few times when he thought of the beautiful place, and looked up at the window, hoping that the rain would stop soon so that his sister-in-law could go down the mountain.

Looking at her uncle's appearance, Mrs. Chen was happy and helpless, and she was also a little anxious. She wanted to get things done as soon as possible. If the girl was on a blind date, wouldn't her uncle be happy in vain? .

Finally, on the fourth day, the weather cleared and the sun was shining brightly. Mrs. Chen decided to go to Doujia Village in the afternoon. The reason why she didn’t go in the morning was because she was afraid of missing out. She knew that there were mushrooms in the nearby villages after the rain. accustomed.

After having lunch and resting for a while, Mrs. Chen packed some of the mountain goods she had picked before, and walked down the mountain with a basket. Jiang Er suddenly saw that his sister-in-law was going out, so she set up the ox cart in advance and wanted to send it to your sister-in-law downhill.

"Sister-in-law, it's raining and the road is slippery. I'll take you by car, or you'll have to step on the mud. Your new shoes will get dirty." Jiang Ermeng said.

Mrs. Chen glanced at Jiang Ermeng, who was so courteous, and said with a smile, "Erlang, I don't know your little thoughts yet. Forget it. For the sake of your dedication, let's go down the mountain together."

"Hey, okay, I'm going to catch the car." Jiang Ermeng agreed cheerfully, and whistled, looking very happy like that.

The Chen family has a cousin, Chen Caiyun, who is married to Doujia Village. This time, she is going to her cousin's place to inquire about the situation of the girl in Jiang Ermeng's prime minister's house. I hope this uncle who I watched growing up will have a good marriage.

Jiang Er was driving the ox cart fiercely, and Mrs. Chen sat comfortably on it. Jiangjiazhai was only seven or eight miles away from Doujia Village, and it took less than half an hour to get there in the ox cart.

Jiang Ermeng parked his car at the intersection where Doujia Village entered the village, thinking about going back together after his sister-in-law finished her work. Mrs. Chen thought it would be bad for him to stand there too much for others to see, so she told him to go to another place for a walk. Turn around, come pick her up in an hour.

Jiang Ermeng still obeyed his sister-in-law, nodded, and drove away with the ox cart.

Speaking of which, this is the first time that the Chen family has entered the Doujia Village. In the past, when the cousin Chen Caiyun returned to the village, she would visit her and chat with her, but this time she came to visit.

I don't know where Chen Caiyun lives. After Mrs. Chen entered the village, she saw an old man walking towards her, so she went over and asked, "Ma'am, do you know where Dou Erqing lives? I'm from Jiangjiazhai. Well, my cousin is his wife."

"Oh, that's it. You are looking for Caiyun, right? She is my niece and daughter-in-law in terms of seniority. Let's go, let's take you there. Her house is not far away." Dou Lishi saw that she was unfamiliar, He had some doubts at first, but when he heard her words, he dispelled the doubts in his heart, said with a smile, and led her to the village.

"I'm sorry, ma'am." Chen Shiren thanked her and followed Dou Lishi.

"No trouble, no trouble, we are all a family, Caiyun is a capable person, she must not be idle now, she is doing a good job, she should be embroidering at the moment." Dou Lishi said.

The Dou family village is not big, and Dou Erqing's family lives in the middle of the village. Soon the two came to the door of a farmyard. The door was open. Mrs. Dou directly led Mrs. Chen into the yard, stood in the yard and shouted , "Caiyun, Caiyun, are you at home? Someone from your natal family has come to see you, come out soon~"

Dou Li yelled loudly, and the people in the house responded when they heard it, "Hey, auntie, I'm at home, come out right away, wait~"

Chen Caiyun heard clearly, someone from her natal family has come, who is it?I haven't heard that anyone at home is coming?Chen Caiyun was puzzled, quickly tidied up the embroidery stand, got off the bed, walked out of the room quickly, saw Mrs. Chen at a glance, quickened her pace a little, and shouted happily, "Pear Blossom, it's you who came here! I Who do you think, come in quickly, Aunt Mei, come in and do it too."

Dou Lishi waved his hands again and again, "No, I still have something to do. Would you greet my family? I'll sit down again some other day."

"Well, that's good, my aunt will definitely come to sit down some other day." Chen Caiyun sent Mrs. Dou Li out of the yard, and came back to greet Mrs. Chen, "Sister Lihua, you are such a rare visitor. I never thought you would come to see me .”

"Cousin, what kind of customer am I, here, here are some mountain goods I brought, for the two children to eat." Chen passed the basket forward.

"Come on, let's talk in the house. The two little ones ran out to play and were not at home. My family also went to work in the county and came back at night. Now I am at home by myself." Chen Caiyun took the basket and pulled Chen's hand. Walking towards the house with his hands, his face was full of smiles, obviously very happy to see his relatives coming.
