take a wife to support the family

Chapter 89 Lamei's Room

Lily took the initiative to keep Lamei in her own home. Song Haonian didn't know that she was still in the mountains. Lily went to Lao Song's house to say hello to her in-laws, saying that her sister would live with her in the future.

Old man Song and Niu were naturally unhappy, and Dong also gossiped with a dark face: "Take things from your husband's family to support your mother's sister."

Song Xiuxiu was even more eccentric, she felt that Lily was partial to her sister, and she didn't even have a good face towards her, and said a lot of nasty things about Sang and Huai.

Lily originally just told them, so that Lamei would not tell people that she didn't know anything, lived with her sister and her husband, and didn't even call the Song family to say hello, and didn't take those words to heart-could it be because of Niu's displeasure? She really told Lamei to go home?
Lamei blushed with embarrassment, feeling very sad that the elder sister was being bullied by her in-laws for herself.Lily didn't care, took Lamei and walked home: "We have to find a way to tidy up a room for you."

In the past, Lamei only came to live occasionally for a few days, and it was good to sleep with Lily, but if she stayed for a long time, she would definitely not be able to occupy her sister's room, lest Song Haonian would be embarrassed when she came back.

There are a total of three thatched houses in the family, one for the kitchen and one for the main room, and only the room on the west side can be used by Lamei.In the room on the west side, there are farm tools and various unused furniture, and occasionally some chickens, puppies, etc., Lily said: "Put these in the warehouse, and the vacated room will be just for you to live in. "

At the beginning, this house was not intended for people to live in. The soil on the farm tools, coupled with the ever-lasting dust accumulation, is a thick layer when you touch it.Lily wrapped herself and Lamei's hair with a turban, put on a mask, and moved a room full of utensils out.

Shovels and hoes are very useful agricultural tools. Wipe them clean and store them in the empty space of the warehouse, and put them away first. The remaining sundries and lilies are sorted, and the unusable ones are dismantled and burned in the firewood pile. It can be used anywhere, empty jars and the like can be placed under the eaves, and those that cannot be exposed to rain can be piled up in the warehouse.

Evacuating these things has to clean the house again. First sweep with a big broom to remove the cobwebs on the roof, then use a small broom to sweep carefully, and wipe with a rag dipped in water.

It took the two sisters more than a day to vacate and clean the house.There is nothing in the room now, but it is spotless and looks very clean.

Lily stretched her waist: "Hurry up and wash it up. For the next few days, you will sleep with me first, and you will live in after the furniture is finished."

Lamei opened her mouth: "Sister, I want you to spend money again..."

Lily smiled and said: "My money is not spent in vain, you have to listen to me, and I will scold you even if you make a mistake."

The two washed off the dust on their bodies, Lily didn't rush to buy furniture for Lamei first, but said to her: "The people from Guojiapo came to make trouble before, thanks to the help from the neighbors, I am going to thank them, you come with me Go, also recognize people."

In the future, Lamei will live in the town permanently, and it will be easier for her to recognize a few more talents.

Lamei is still afraid of seeing people, but the elder sister is right, and besides, the elder sister has paid a lot to keep her this time, she sees it in her heart, and never wants to embarrass the elder sister again.She nodded slightly: "Sister, I'll go with you."

With Lily here, she has the backbone, at least she won't even take a step out of the house, and she won't even be able to speak a complete sentence.

This time, Li Caifeng, Song Dagui and others did the most to keep Lamei. They are familiar with them. First, Lily took Lamei to their house and went around quickly, explaining that Lamei will follow her in the future, and said: "I will clean up for Lamei these few days The house is in need of your help, if you have time, please go and help me."

Lamei firmly kowtowed to Song Dagui and his wife, and Dagui's sister-in-law hurriedly pulled up: "What are you doing!"

Lamei stayed at her house for a few days, and they all saw that Lamei is honest and a lovely child. She didn't try to repay her when she helped her, but now she is more willing to communicate with her: "I will live with your sister in the future, when I have time Just come to my house to play, and ask the second sister to help you clean up the room later."

Li Caifeng also smiled and said: "Follow your sister, come and tell me if you need anything."

Having been to these people's homes once, Lamei was somewhat used to meeting people, and Lily took her to Mr. Liu's house again.

Naturally, you can't thank someone empty-handed. Whether someone wants to repay or not, it is a basic etiquette to bring gifts. For her brothers, Lily only brought some common food, eggs, etc., and naturally she couldn't do the same for Master Liu's family.

Lily thought about it, even if she lost all her family and property to buy gifts, Master Liu might not like it, but she should be courteous. She brought some sun-dried lentils and cowpeas, picked up a small jar of pickles, and took them from Song Dagui. The two pig legs I mentioned came to visit Shangliu Mansion.

Mr. Liu is the only lord in Qingliu Town, and the people who meet and greet on a daily basis are either village elders or county magistrates, or at least the heads of the clan. Zhong there.

Due to reason and status, it is impossible for Mr. Liu to come out to entertain Lily in person. Hearing what Liu Zhongyi said, he said: "He is a person who knows some etiquette, anyway, it is their kindness that people come to buy gifts. You come forward to greet Lily. It's a gift."

Liu Zhong agreed, and went out to pick up Lily and Wintersweet in a side hall, and ordered someone to serve tea.It's the first time for Lamei to walk into such a big house when she grows up. Seeing such politeness, she was so panicked that she didn't know where to put her hands. Lily patted her: "Don't be afraid, you are a good person."

After she greeted Liu Zhong, she sat on the edge of the lower chair and said a lot of words of thanks first, "If the master of the family hadn't suppressed him, we wouldn't know what to do."

Liu Zhong said quickly, "They all belong to the folks in the village, so you're welcome."

Lily thanked again and again, and finally said: "From now on, my sister will live by me. We are clumsy, and we can't make any big sense. We keep our gratitude to the family in our hearts, but the family is driven. We Do your best.”

Is there anything in the Liu Manor that I can't do by myself that requires two girls?But this was their wish, Liu Zhong did not refuse, accepted the gift with a smile, and sent him out of the mansion.

Lily bought presents and went to the Patriarch Song's house. She was a guest at the Liu Mansion, but she was a junior in the Song Family. It was inconvenient for the Patriarch Song to talk to her, so the Patriarch's wife came to Baihe and said, "Since you are married to the Song Family, you should be married to the Song Family." Husband's family is the most important."

What's the matter with getting involved in the affairs of her mother's family again and again, and even implicating the Song family's hands?
Lily listened to the training honestly, "If it's really not the case, the girl will be forced to death. Auntie said it for my own good, and I will firmly remember it. From now on, I will put my husband's family first and never do anything out of line."

The patriarch's wife sighed again: "It's not easy for you."

Lily answered quickly: "In the future, I will have to rely more on my aunt's advice. Auntie, don't think I'm stupid, just say what needs to be said, I remember the benefits of my auntie."

The patriarch's wife saw that Lily was willing to listen to her advice and saw the gift, and she was very happy. After they left, she told the patriarch, "Let me tell you, the one from Da Nian's family is more sensible than her mother-in-law!"

The patriarch of the Song Dynasty was noncommittal, and the woman was ignorant, how could she know what was going on?The little daughter-in-law in this town is the first one in Da Nian's family who can make trouble, and he still has to talk to Da Nian later, and take good care of his own wife.

The neighbors and folks who were in charge that day, Lily thanked them one by one for some eggs, a cabbage, or a bowl of kimchi, and the matter was over.For those who have helped a lot, like the neighbor's sister-in-law, there is an extra thank you gift.

Lamei met many people and said, "Sister, why are you so popular!"

"On weekdays, if you don't look up and look down, if you put on a smile, others will be embarrassed to look at you. Human favors come out, and if you go a lot, it will be fine." Naturally, Su was able to help her. The good-natured family is like the family of a young scholar, and it is lucky that people from Guo Jiapo do not help her smash her house.

After dinner that day, Wang Xiaofu said, "I was away from town two days ago, and I just came back today. I heard that something happened to my sister-in-law. Are you all okay?"

Lily said: "Thank you for remembering, we are all well, Xiaofu, I want to buy some mattresses and furniture for Lamei, do you have any connections?"

Wang Xiaofu thought for a while and said, "Brother Sanping must have bed board furniture. I'll ask tomorrow and I'll come back and help you with work."

Lily thanked her quickly, and Lamei blushed and said slowly, "Thanks to you."

The next day Wang Xiaofu took the two sisters to Liu Sanping's house, and sure enough there were wooden planks that were untied, about one inch thick and one foot wide.

Lily explained and bought four, and Lamei whispered: "Three is enough." She was born thin and small, and the small bed was enough.

"Is this board just for you to sleep on? I'll still use it in the future." The three-foot bed was too narrow, and since Lily wanted her sister to follow her, she couldn't be too wronged, so she still asked for four boards.

There were also small tables and benches that were finished. Lily asked for the simplest and unpretentious ones, and several of them carried them home.

Lily's bed at home is not a canopy bed, but a bed with two bedsides piled up with green bricks and grass mixed with mud, and the top is covered with wooden boards.It is easier for Lamei to sleep alone. Wang Xiaofu brought large pebbles from the river, mixed grass and mud to build two low blocks, and after drying, put the wooden planks on top to form a small bed.

Then ask someone who has grass mats to buy a mat and put it on the floor. The two sisters, Lily Lamei, can do the rest by themselves, and Wang Xiaofu can do his own thing.

There is an extra bed in the room, so it looks like a place where people live. Lamei grows so big, and it is the first time that she has her own room. Even though the walls are bare now, she is happy in her heart and has a big smile on her face.

Lily smiled and said: "Tomorrow, let's go buy some bedding, and you can decorate your house yourself in the future." It was the first time she saw Lamei showing such a carefree and relaxed expression. She also thinks it's worth money, food and favors.

After Lamei figured it out, it cost a lot of money to buy the bedding, so she hurriedly said: "Sister, you should keep an account for all the money you spent for me, and I will pay it back later."

She didn't know how to keep accounts herself, so she had to ask Lily to keep them.

Lily was startled for a moment, then laughed out loud: "Okay." He added, "I'll tell you to settle the score tomorrow, and you have to know it yourself."

The girl is motivated and doesn't want to take advantage of it casually, she can only feel relieved.Lily is not the real Holy Mother, it doesn't matter if she is soft-hearted sometimes, but if she really subsidizes her own family resources for other people's affairs, she will not do such a loss.
