Pinellia pastoral

Chapter 114
It was raining all over the sky.

The spring rains are always so continuous, and the green vegetable fields are more vibrant.

Even though it was inconvenient, it did not stop Su Youli's family from building roads.

Since Su Youde came to persuade Su Youli that day, he seldom showed up, and he didn't offer any help after two days, but he was often seen coming in and out with a bamboo basket.

Su Youli didn't take it seriously, Zhang Liu didn't need to go to the Su family's yard to help, he just came up from the vegetable field.

And because Pinellia didn't forget to send it to Su Youzhang and Zhang's family when cooking, Zhang's daughter-in-law and Su Youzhang's Pinellia should call San Auntie, and when there is nothing to do, they also come to visit with a basket. The leader occasionally brought some things like peanut candy, and the family started to walk around, which was more lively than before.

Mrs. Li has a hearty personality. She was very uncomfortable when she was restrained by Mrs. Su Qian. What's more, the family can't make decisions. If others give you a handful of peanuts, you can't even return a piece of grass. Feeling guilty, now that I can be the master of the house, walking with them is like a fish in water.

No, after the spring plowing, there wasn't much to do. A few women got together to gather shoe soles, pick vegetables, and occasionally make snacks. Naturally, it was fun to do these things together.

The men are eating here, and Banxia is delivering food, so they feel sorry for eating, but they also want to see Banxia's craftsmanship. They come here to help and really learn. This is not a business. Pinellia was also willing to give them some things, and each gave a small jar of fermented bean curd.

Daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, everyone in the village calls her new sister-in-law, but her surname is gradually forgotten. It is said that it is because she stayed with Zhang when she came here back then. Unexpectedly, so many years have passed, the newcomer has become the old one, and everything else has become familiar, but this name has become used to it.

No, she half-jokingly said to Qiu Shi, "Look at how capable Ban Xia is, why don't you just be my daughter-in-law!"

Su Youzhang's daughter-in-law, Qiu Shi, is familiar with her, so naturally she doesn't have to be so polite, she curled her lips and said, "You will plan, what is Banxia's age, what is your kid's age, Banxia has a good temper, and he is a good person." I can do it, so that's what I like?"

The new sister-in-law laughed happily, "I just fell in love with it, and you have nothing to do. Even if you fancy it, you can't compete with me."

This is true.

Qiu Shi was about to come over and tear her mouth open, "Look at how cheap this is!"

Having said that, the new sister-in-law was a little excited, "The road will be ready in two days. Let's lay stones together. It's very happy to see it. There are flowers on both sides, and your pigsty shower room is covered together. How did you come up with it? I’ll make the same one later, lest I get up in the dark and be afraid of falling!”

This is of course referring to the original shower room. Banxia's family deliberately opened up a place in the corner of the vegetable garden. The few houses they built are actually nothing special, nothing more than cobblestones in the shower room, and Su Youli is even more so. I don't know where I brought a stone slab back.

At that time, it was said that it should be built first, and then a small water canal should be built outside. It would be fine to store it in the daytime. If you want to wash the pigsty, you should let go of the water plugged with grass, and the water after washing the pigsty will just flow along One end flows into the latrine, and the other end of the latrine can also use the water from the small canal here, but the difference is that there is an extra wooden board on the spout, and the water flows down when it is pumped, which is equivalent to washing the latrine and digging a big hole at the back. Just used to fertilize.

The place where people squat in the latrine and the big pit at the back simply build a wall, which is convenient for adults and children.

Women love to be clean and know how to live. No, before these things are covered, they start to be moved when they hear it.

Su Qian's high-pitched voice came from the yard outside, and she didn't want to hear her talking these days, so Li simply locked the door here, and only opened it for a while when fetching water to feed the pigs. There is no need to go.

Hearing this voice, Qiu's face was full of emotion, "Didn't you say that there are matchmakers over there these days? Why are you still talking like this?"

Speaking of this, the new sister-in-law answered again, "I don't understand anything. There are so many girls in this family. My favorite is pinellia, and mint is not bad."

Qiu Shi turned her head and saw that Li Shi was still smashing sesame seeds, peanuts and brown sugar with a kitchen knife, and bumped into the new sister-in-law, "How many years have you been here, but it's too early to say how old Pinellia is? And Mint is also young, It's fine for me to look at Wumei, don't tell me you don't like what those people say?"

The new sister-in-law is not from here at all, and she doesn't pay much attention to her words. Hearing Qiu's words, she is a little puzzled, "Isn't it to be settled early? Banxia and Bohe are both about ten years old, and we are both ten years old." Girls who are one or two will settle down with others, and then the man will give clothes and rice food every year and festival, which is equivalent to starting to raise a daughter-in-law..."

Qiu Shi laughed happily when he heard it.

The new sister-in-law is not very good at turning corners, she didn't know what Qiu was laughing at, she still explained seriously, and then turned back to Wu Mei, "Wu Mei is a good girl, but she is too soft-tempered, I like cheerful ones, although mint is wild Some, at least not at a disadvantage, and Banxia, ​​don't look at her and she is almost not angry, but you look at the previous things, she is a sensible person."

Qiu could only nod his head.

Mrs. Li has already seen that it is almost done, "What are you talking about?"

"What are you talking about, that you're going to take your daughter back to be your daughter-in-law!"

Mrs. Li giggled, "I'll tell you the truth, I can't be their master. Let's just say it's still early, and that day will really come, and it depends on what they like."

There is one more thing that Mrs. Li can't say, that is, during the matter of Wumei before, Banxia discussed with her, saying that she was not in a hurry to get married, and she would take care of it later. Yes, of course I agreed, but after thinking about it, it would be bad if I said it, so I came up with a compromise.

Qiu Shi said to Li Shi, "Your mother-in-law and sister-in-law are starting to see their grandson-in-law."

As soon as the words fell, there was a clatter, "If you talk nonsense again, I won't hit you with a stick!"

Mrs. Li shook her head, there was simply no rest for a day.

She turned her head and saw Yuan Chen and Ban Xia were together, she squinted her eyes and smiled when she didn't know what to say, and then opened the door here with confidence.

As soon as the door opened, it faced the yard. Bo He held a stick and pointed at Su Qian's and Zhou's with a look of disdain.

Mrs. Zhou rolled her eyes when she saw Mrs. Li open the door, "Sister-in-law three, you are just judging, how can you be like this? You said that if Wumei didn't get married, wouldn't this delay Yuzhu and Shuiping? It's a girl's family. , It’s not that I’m not married anymore, I don’t like this one, I don’t like that one, and I want to be a queen mother!”

Mrs. Zhou always wanted to embarrass Mrs. Li. If Mrs. Li followed her words, the second room would naturally feel uncomfortable, but if she followed her, she would go out and say that Mrs. Li was unreasonable. This made Wumei not want to get married.

Either way it's wrong.

Unexpectedly, Li's eyes widened, "Didn't dad say that Wu Mei and his parents should decide this matter? We have nothing to talk about."

Zhou was choked.

Then he said very unwillingly, "Listen to you, does this also mean that you don't want Wu Mei to marry?"

What is this called?

Mrs. Li simply ignored her, and came over to pat Mint's hand, "Put down the stick, the girl doesn't have to carry this around all day, and she doesn't want to beat the dog!"

"Who are you talking about? You! Don't think that I won't dare to talk about you if you are separated. Parents are still there!" Zhou's temper also came up.

"I'll say whoever answers!" Li Shi was also furious, and Yuan Chen's matter had not been settled with her yet, and she even turned her nose up.

Mint burst into laughter, and the tense atmosphere just now disappeared.

Seeing that Mrs. Su Qian was a bit out of shape, Mrs. Zhou was obviously not Li's opponent, so she spoke up, "Third daughter-in-law, you are unreasonable."

Li Shi listened to such innocuous words a lot, and she really didn't care about them before, if something happened to Yuan Chen, she would wish to tear these two people apart, let alone being able to talk to them properly "It's reasonable, am I here to reason with you? It's reasonable for a mother-in-law to force the family to separate out alone? Or send the third child away first, and then send the third child away if he can't go away?" Sending them away in the morning, is this the truth? Do you still have to say such a truth?"

Su Qian was a little short of breath, the things Li said did indeed exist.

The Qiu family in the house also came to join in the fun, "Is it reasonable to carry a chopping board and kitchen knife to the door of relatives to chop?"

The new sister-in-law winked inside.

When Su Qian saw Li's hateful eyes, she didn't know why her chest was tight and short of breath. When would she be taken down by her daughter-in-law.

She didn't say a word, but Zhou's expression was embarrassing, "Look at what kind of mother there is, and what kind of girl is there. Wumei looks like the second sister-in-law. Look at Banxia, ​​so I I don't know who I learned from, what else I don't know now, that's all, we don't have anything to say, but Shui Ping is going to talk about kissing anyway, so it's right that someone else won't be able to get married!"

Mrs. Li reprimanded her, "Whether you marry or not, it has nothing to do with others!"

Before she finished speaking, she saw a smile on Mrs. Zhou's face. Mrs. Li was just wondering if this person was in a daze, when she heard Mrs. Zhou waving her hands and shaking, "Ms. Wu, I've been looking forward to you for so long!"

Li Shi was startled when she heard this, she couldn't say anything with outsiders around, so she stepped aside.

The Aunt Wu in Zhou's mouth is a matchmaker, and she is different from other matchmakers. The main reason is that she has been a matchmaker for so many years and there is nothing wrong with it, and her family background is good in all aspects. It's not the kind of people who will open their eyes and talk nonsense and boast to the sky.

Over time, as her reputation spread, she said that the matchmaker became more cautious, but it was this cautiousness that made the golden signboard even brighter.

Seeing her, Mrs. Zhou was naturally full of joy.
