big sister headed home

Chapter 14

Mrs. Chen followed Chen Caiyun into the house, looked around, smiled, and said, "Sister Yun, you still know how to clean up like this." Look, the house is clean and tidy. I can't keep up with you. There are two boys in the house. Yes, it's all messed up."

"Where's the two little ones in my house are also very skinny, and I have to clean up to keep it like this." I just can't see the house is too messy." When the house is messy, I get upset." Come to "Pear Blossom" and let's do it on the kang, It’s warm on the kang.” Chen Caiyun took Chen’s hand and put it on the kang.

Mrs. Chen didn't hesitate, she just took off her shoes, and followed Chen Caiyun onto the kang. There was still an embroidery frame on one side of the kang.Chen Caiyun picked it up and looked at it, "Sister Yun, your pattern is so beautiful and complicated, I can't embroider it so difficult."

"This is a new pattern in the county. It's really not easy to embroider, but you can get some money if you sell it to an embroidery house. Alas, it's not easy to do anything. You see, it took me a month to embroider this pattern." Chen Caiyun sighed. With a sigh of relief, it is not easy for ordinary people to earn money. Her mother is good at embroidery, and she taught her. She also embroiders some embroidery during the slack season, and sells some money to supplement the family.

"It's not bad to be able to embroider like this. I think your family's life is considered good. My brother-in-law is capable and can go to the city to work to earn money." Chen said.

Hearing others praise her husband, Chen Caiyun was also happy. She blushed a little and said, "Er Qing is really capable, and he is good to me. Okay, let's not talk about that. Lihua, come here today, not just to see I'm here, let's talk, what's the matter for you to come here?"

"Sister Yun is transparent, and she can guess right. There are indeed some things I want to ask Sister Yun." Chen did not hide anything, and said directly, "Oh, Sister Yun, you know that my uncle Er Meng is now ten years old. Ba Que hasn't gotten married yet, seeing that his younger brothers have all married wives and had children, and he is the only one left, I am really worried as a sister-in-law."

"Oh, that's true, but Brother Ermeng's eyes are too high. There are several good daughters in the village who like him, and they turn a blind eye to his overtures. I don't know what to look for? Could it be that he fell in love with him? This girl from Dou Family Village." Chen Caiyun guessed.

"Sister Yun, you guessed it right. He really fell in love with a girl from Dou's Village. I came here this time to inquire about it." Chen said.

"Which family is that girl? Dou's Village is not big, so I know all the girls from that family." Chen Caiyun continued to ask, going through the girls in Dou's Village who had reached the age of marriage in her mind, wondering who it was It caught Jiang Ermeng's eyes.

Chen Caiyun knew about Jiang Ermeng's affairs. Every time she went home, Chen would tell her about it. Even her parents said that Jiang Ermeng was a high-sighted person, and there were so many good girls in the village. I don't even like it, I don't know what I want.

"I don't know about this. This girl was met by Ermeng when he was going to the market in the county. According to him, this girl is very strong and tall. She can reach his chin. He immediately fell in love with her. I It shouldn't be hard to recognize such a girl with characteristics, it's the first time I've seen a girl grow so tall." Chen said what she knew.

"Tall and strong," Chen Caiyun suddenly thought of someone, her face changed, and she thought, did Jiang Er suddenly take a fancy to that black girl Dou Hua?She was the tallest and strongest girl in the village, and her body was stronger than that of a big man. The more Chen Caiyun thought about it, the more she felt that Dou Hua was the most likely, and her expression became more and more unnatural.

Mrs. Chen was sitting opposite Du Caiyun and watching, the changes on her face naturally couldn't hide from her eyes, she couldn't help but sink for a moment, could it be that this girl has a bad personality?
"Sister Yun, have you figured out which girl it is? Who is this girl, what family is she from, what kind of character is she, can she be worthy of my family's Ermeng?" Mrs. Chen was also anxious, and kept asking out her doubts.

Chen Caiyun glanced at the worried Chen family, and said, "Lihua, don't worry, I will tell you everything I know, but you have to be mentally prepared, the situation of this girl's family is a bit special? But her character is pretty good, Work hard, you can do any job at home, but you have a bad temper." Chen Caiyun thought that Dou Hua had never done anything other than beating up those half-children who liked to laugh at her, so she attributed Dou Hua to others. The ranks of good products.

"Oh? Why is it so special? As long as she has a good character, everything else is fine." Hearing that the other party has a good character, Chen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"This one is special. It's a long story. If I'm guessing right, the girl you're looking for is Dou Hua from our Doujia Village. She's as strong as you said before, taller, and taller than you. I'm still half a head taller. She is the tallest and strongest girl in our village. In our village, maybe the surrounding villages can't find anyone like her. I really didn't expect Ermeng to like her. This kind of girl, cough, how can I actually say that this girl looks okay, but her height and shape are too tough, and ordinary men can't suppress her, but I think Er Meng is also a strong body, so tall, so Speaking of which, they are a good match when standing together." Chen Caiyun blinked and joked.

Facing her brother-in-law's eyes, Chen didn't know what to say, she smiled coyly, and said, "This can be regarded as all kinds of tricks, who made him fall in love with it?"

"That's true, but it's not a big deal. The most important thing is that the two of you like it." Chen Caiyun paused before continuing, "But her family's situation is really special. Alas, speaking of it, she is also a miserable person. , his father fell down the mountain and died while hunting years ago. Her mother fell ill due to grief, and she followed after two months. She was left to live with her four younger siblings. She was the eldest in the family. If she wasn't there, they would have broken up. Just last month, her uncle went to rob her family's land. Dou Hua was so powerful that she fought with five members of his uncle's family by herself. In the end, her head was broken. I only protected a few acres of land at home, alas, I heard that I just got out of bed and went out a few days ago."

After hearing this, Mrs. Chen also sighed in her heart, "In this case, things between her and Er Meng will be a little difficult."

"Yeah, two people in her family passed away in less than a year now. We don't pay that much attention in the countryside. My daughter's family has to observe filial piety for at least one year. It's not a big deal. The key is that he still has a few younger brothers and sisters. It needs to be taken care of. Its older brother just turned 13 this year, younger brother is only eight years old, and two younger sisters, one is eight years old and the other is five. Tall and strong, and only 15 years old, it is not easy to support a family at such a young age." Chen Caiyun sighed.

"Is there no one in her family to help them, and grandparents are not here?" Chen asked, and she also sympathized with what happened to Dou Hua's family.

"Grandma and grandma of the Dou family went there a few years ago. Her uncle and the second uncle can't be counted on. It would be good if you don't take the opportunity to get some benefits from her family. Didn't her uncle come here to ask for land before? If it wasn't for Dou Hua's power, and They had a fight, and the land was gone, but her uncle's family is still good, they take good care of the little ones, and often send some food over, but now everyone has a few children to raise, he My uncle’s family is not rich, so I will help as much as I can.” Chen Caiyun said, the Dou family’s village is not big, and anyone in the village can’t hide anything from the people in the village, and it’s only a matter of time before she knows it. , Everyone else knew about it, she didn't want to hide it from Chen Shi, and told her everything she knew, so that she could think about it.

"I've said so much, so you can have a good idea. If you really want to form this marriage, Dou Hua, as the eldest sister, has a deep friendship with them. They will definitely not care about the younger ones. If this is the case, the family The burden of being a person is too great. You go back and talk to Er Meng carefully. If you want me to say, I don’t think so much about such a marriage. Although Dou Hua is a nice person, the burden is too heavy and life is too sad. I said these things , don’t think I’m too talkative, Lihua.” Afraid that Mrs. Chen would be unhappy, Chen Caiyun stopped talking again.

"Where can it be? I know that Sister Yun said so much for Er Meng's benefit. I'm not a person who doesn't know what to do. I came here to get a better understanding of the other party's situation." Chen sighed. Said, "Sister Yun, you also know that my uncle Er Meng grew up with me. Although I am her sister-in-law, people say that the eldest sister-in-law is the mother. When I entered Jiang's house, I had no children. , treat him like my child, the Jiang family parents treat me well, they don't dislike me for not having children for several years, and I know how to be grateful, if nothing else, I just want Ermeng to get married and have children, start a family and start a business, no I will feel at ease if I fail my parents' entrustment."

"I know all of this, Lihua, you are also a lucky one, Dameng treats you so well, the girls in the village are all envious." Chen Caiyun said.

"You are fine too, and brother-in-law treats you very well." The two women began to joke with each other.

Mrs. Chen stayed at Chen Caiyun's house for nearly an hour, chatting about the affairs of Dou Hua's family, and some things about their respective families. Seeing that it was getting late, Mrs. Chen got up to say goodbye and wanted to go back to the village.

"You are going to go back, can Da Meng rest assured?" Chen Caiyun saw him off at the door.

"There's nothing to worry about. It's just a few steps, and we'll be there in a while." Mrs. Chen blushed when she was teased, "Er Meng is probably waiting for me at the entrance of the village right now, and he drove me here today in an ox cart. of."

"Let me just say, Da Meng didn't send you here, it turned out that Er Meng sent you here, and now he made a special trip to pick you up, Er Meng is really caring, it's really rare." Chen Caiyun laughed.

"That's right, I don't know if this can be done?" Chen said.

"You'd better try to persuade him, you can't let his temper go, if you want me to say that there are many good girls, where can't you find them?"

"Having said that, Er Meng's temper is also very stubborn, and he refuses to change easily what he believes in. Let me talk to him carefully and see his personal thoughts. This kind of thing can't be forced, I also want to He marries the girl he likes, and he lives happily." Chen Shi said.

"That's right. Do you want to take a look at Dou Hua? You might pass by her house on the way to the entrance of the village. Maybe you can take a look." Chen Caiyun suggested, and she also wanted to make things more satisfactory.

"Okay, I'll trouble Sister Yun to lead the way." Chen said happily.

"No trouble, I just brought a basin of clothes to wash in the river at the entrance of the village." Chen Caiyun went into the yard and brought out a basin of clothes, leading Mrs. Chen towards Dou Hua's house.

The road is not far, and after a while, the two arrived. When they were far away, Chen Caiyun quietly pointed to a farm yard not far ahead and said, "See, that's the yard. There is a cow in front of the yard. Che's house, let's walk over, if you pretend to take a casual look, you may be able to see it."

As Chen Caiyun spoke, she found that Mrs. Chen did not respond. When she looked up, she saw her staring at the bullock cart at Dou Hua's gate, tugged Mrs. Chen's sleeve, and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you staring at Mrs. Chen? Look at the bullock cart?"

Mrs. Chen pursed her lips, her eyes showed surprise, she turned her head to look at Chen Caiyun and said, "That bullock cart belongs to my family."
