Chapter 61 Reunion in Liangjia Village after the Festival
After the seventh day of the new year, the New Year's holiday is over, and it's time to get busy. The stewards on each shop were going to set off firecrackers in front of the door and make a good start for next year's business. For a while, both sides of the street rumbled, which was very spectacular. However, there were few pedestrians doing business. There were more strolling and buying some food, and Lan's cake shop became one of the most prosperous shops. .
Each village should also prepare the seeds for cultivation in spring, and prepare for ploughing and tenants. Liang Mu is naturally busy and lacks skills to stay on the village every day. If you are a person and two people, you should not only deal with the purchase of stores, but also manage the accounts of several stores.
Fortunately, Liangfeng can be alone. She completely shook hands at the stall of the women's leisure club. Mrs. Qin and Lin Bai were put on the garment shop. Ruo Yan was even more relieved and almost didn't go, which made Wang Yulan complain about her from time to time and did not take care of Mrs. Qin's old age.
If there is a saying of suffering! After laughing and teasing the child a few times, he rushed to the cake shop before making a roundabout. Chun'er, the housekeeper, hurriedly ran to say, "Madam, someone from my hometown, if it's your wife and master, don't go back to order Mou on the 12th day of the lunar new year, don't think it's home."
Dai finally showed his power, but as expected, his tolerance was still more relaxed. He clearly agreed to go back to Liangjia Village with Liang's mother on the eighth day of the first lunar month. As a result, the weather was bad that day, and he couldn't go to the door with heavy snow. After the ninth day of the lunar new year, the store was so busy that he didn't have time to eat, so he went home. It's behind my head.
Now that I think about it, I feel sorry for the two elders. Don't you want to reunite with your children at such an old age? Ruoqi sighed, "If you go back and tell the messager, we will go back on that day."
Tomorrow's 11th, Chun'er is calculating in her heart that she is 16 years old. I'm afraid that the master and wife can't come back to watch the ceremony. She has no relatives since she was a child. She has regarded them as close relatives for a long time, but now she can't help wiping her tears.
Ruoyan suddenly patted her forehead and said, "Don't worry, I can't lose you. I will climb back to fight for you." Chun'er burst into tears and laughed and bowed, "Mrs. Xie, Mrs. Xie."
Liang Mu got the news and kept rushing back. He met Ruoyan in the carriage. Both of them were very tired and fell asleep together. Liangfeng looked distressed and pulled her warm quilt to Ruoyan for fear of freezing her typho.
As soon as the carriage entered the entrance of the village, it heard the sound of firecrackers. It was so shocked that she could rise and lift the curtain to look out. At this time, she has a deep understanding of the sound of firecrackers in the sea of people and the sound of gongs and drums.
Liangjin, the new patriarch of Liangjia Village, greeted him in person at the entrance of the village. What a big face to draw a nose on a piece of paper! Liang Mu turned over and got out of the car and reached out to help Ruoying. Xia'er and Dong'er quickly greeted Ruoying and Liangfeng.
Liang Mu warmly went over and hugged Liang Jin, and the two exchanged politely. Dai pulled a donkey's face and looked at this head. Ruo Ying and Liang Fengju laughed with guilty. This guy won't be so faceless. Will he scold here? He walked over tremblingly and respectfully called "Happy New Year, Dad and Mother."
The old man smiled and waved his hand quickly, "Okay, as long as you can come back."
"What a bullshit. It's November. People's lives are over. Come back with a dog." Dai scolded, turned around and twisted her buttocks and walked back. She used to be fat, but unlike now, wearing a thick red skirt, the buttocks twisted and bumped out far away, which made people sigh.
"Why have you gained so much weight?" Liangfeng also held her arm and shook her. Sister, that's what you said. I didn't talk to you. If you hold your smile and follow Dai obediently, this fashion will be low-key and filial.
Liangfeng squeezed the tender meat on her arm fiercely, "It's getting more and more flowery."
"Ouch!" Ruoyu called softly, and Dai's eyes stared over. Ruoyu just smiled sweetly, "Mom, you don't know the eldest sister." Liang Feng bowed to the wind and rubbed his hand on her arm for fear that she would leak her mouth.
"What's wrong with your elder sister?" Dai's eyes turned to Liangfeng in full swing. Ruoyan's words reversed: "My elder sister is in good health. It's delicious to eat. Mother said it's okay." Dai's cold face softened and said coldly, "I want you to thank you!" No way, my sister-in-law should take care of my sister-in-law.
"Puff..." It was not only Ruoyan and Liangfeng who couldn't help laughing, but even the lively women in front of them laughed. Dai couldn't show her face and stared at Ruoying fiercely. She pouted and looked at the villagers in the countryside.
Ruoyu shouted loudly: "The old mother of this good family is happy, and all the children come to my house to ask for candy." As soon as the children heard that there was sugar to eat, they swarmed up happily and bumped into Dai. Dong'er rushed over with great strength and helped her, "Grandma, are you all right?"
Half of Dai's body pressed on her and smiled, "This girl is not big and strong, why don't you stay and farm with me?"
"Ah!" Donger's lucky red face collapsed. She seemed to be out of breath and was slapped under her body by Dai, making her covered with snow mud. Hey! It's also useless." Dai frowned, got up and cleaned the snowflakes off his body.
turned around and stared at Ruoqi: "Tell you, you pay for the sugar! I don't have fructose.
"Bring it, bring it." Xia'er pointed to the car, "My wife brought a lot! Just to fight for grandma's face." Xia'er's mouth was good, and Dai squeezed her mouth and smiled.
went into the yard to distribute candy. The children seemed to have passed the Spring Festival again, playing wildly. Several little girl stood at the door and carefully licked the candy with the tip of their tongue, for fear that they would not be able to keep the sweet taste if they were greedy for a while. Ruo Yan looked distressed and gave them two more.
Dai looked at the pain and drove people out in turn with the big broom. Those children ran away, but they heard a child's singing rumor not far away, "The old woman wore a red jacket, went out of the village and was bitten by a dog, fell down and squatted, crying and shouted for compensation..."
Che Lan came out with her second child in her arms. Seeing that Ruoyan was funny, she hit her and said, "These careless dead dogs are swearing again."
"No, it's quite talented!" Ruoyu squinted with a smile, Che Lan looked at her and praised, "What comes back from this city is different. Looking at the clothes, looking at the dress, looking at the makeup, it's excellent."
If you dare to be so gorgeous, aren't you afraid of being killed by Dai? Today, this is the most ordinary body! Beauty can only be said to be natural beauty!" If my sister likes it, I'll change my clothes at night and give it to you. It's better to give it to her in the evening, but I'm afraid that Che Lan will take off her clothes on a whim. This is not once or twice.
Che Lan curled her lips, rolled her eyes up, and pointed to her big red satin snow rabbit fake collar cotton jacket and the bright black satin long skirt. "I'm not bad. Why do you want me to wear the rest?" Ruo smiled and nodded, "It's my sister-in-law who lost her speech." Turn around and go into the house. Seeing that she didn't care about her precious daughter, Che Lan stuffed the child into her hand. "Why, the child doesn't hug?"
She didn't have this idea, but just saw that the child's runny nose came to her mouth and she wanted to wipe it with a hand towel. Che Lan suddenly set off the cannon and counted Ruo Yan's delicate and thought the child was dirty. Ruo Yan didn't dare to hold her daughter since then, worried that she was pressing something wrong.
"You hold it tightly, and I'm embarrassed to grab it from you!" Ruo Yan bumped up the Liangni, which made the child giggle. The men in the room couldn't help looking sideways. All the old and young were dumbfounded and sighed that Liangmu was a stupid boy, and blessed!
Most people's eyes are envious, but only the mouse shit is annoying, and good gold is one of them. "Py patriarch, patriarch..." In the middle of his words, his eyes stuck to Ruoyan, who entered the house, which is why Ruoying would rather be frozen than enter the house.
"The patriarch!" Dai's loud voice was famous for his lion roar. He settled the universe with a sound. The child cried and barked. Liang Jin finally returned to his soul and looked at Dai with a smile, "Auntie, what did I just say?"
Bah! Shameless bastard. Dai scolded in his heart, because there were too many old people around him to say, he stared at Ruoyu, "Lost thing, stay behind." If you bow your head and attach it to a small one, let's grin at Liang Mu and walk back.
Liang Mu's heart hurts! When did he dare to roar like this and coax her with a smile on his face: "Go! The rhubarb family is in the backyard! Let the good dog take you to have a look. Hearing the rhubarb, Ruoyu immediately laughed and ran back like a bird. Chelan hurriedly chased him and shouted, "Sister-in-law, don't forget what you just said. Send it to me in the evening."
The giant doghouse made of yellow mud grass, two black and yellow puppies wrestled together in front of the door. The small teeth are as big as rice grains, but with silver-white light, "That's great!" Ruoyan held them in her arms fondly, and Heizi and rhubarb stared at Wangwang's puppy, for fear that Ruoyan would drop them by mistake.
Liang Gouzi is the grandson of Uncle Liang Mutang's family. There is nothing to pay attention to the name the rural baby. As long as it is easy to feed, so it is called Gouzi. He is a five-year-old boy. He wears a thick cotton-padded jacket like a small water tank. He walks two steps to ensure that he will fall down, gets up and touches his nose, and looks at Ruoying and smile.
Why do they have so much runny nose! Ruoqi sighed and couldn't help taking out the fifth handkerchief and giving it to him, "Children should pay attention to hygiene!"
"What are children? Can I eat it?" The dog stared at her eagerly, and Ruoyan nodded violently: "It can be eaten. Grandma Wolf is my favorite."
"Oh! Grandma likes it." The dog finally understood and nodded: "It's a pity that there is no one in our village named Grandma, otherwise I will definitely let my aunt send the children to her to eat."
"..." Ruoyu really wants to cry.
"Aunwell, you are so beautiful."
"Thank you!"
"Aunuch, you look good. Why are you thanking me? I'm not your father. You should thank your father."
"Uh... I've been taught." Someone's mind is full of black lines, wandering...
"Aunwell, your clothes are so beautiful."
"That's because the woman who is making clothes is very beautiful, so the clothes are also beautiful. But I'm going to give your second aunt soon. She must be more beautiful in her clothes. Someone is laughing grely.
"Ah! When will she wear it? There is a ball in the stomach! The clothes are not crowded!" What a pity! I'm sorry.
Ruojing rubbed the puppy in the palm of his hand and flattened it for a long time. The rhubarb finally couldn't help it. Wang Wang rescued the baby son. The puppy shook the chicken/chicken and drenched her with a lot of water.
"Wah ha ha... Aunt, you will definitely have a younger brother next year." The dog patted his thighs and smiled, but Ruoyan didn't even want to cry. Who wants to have a dog?
Dong'er's face was black and gray. She ran over from the kitchen and saw the savior. Ruoyu hurriedly pulled her, "Is the meal ready?" Donger's bitter gourd-like face, "Madam! You don't know that the stove is so big..." She was so evil that she could fill her in. "That smoke, so much..." This can be seen from the black ash on her face, "Madam, let's stay outside for a while! Wait until it's clean before going back.
Lan Ruoqi smiled bitterly! Smiling smile! Although the sun is shining today, the cold snow is still having a meeting. No wonder all the children have runny noses, and her noses can't hold on, dripping! It was so cold that she turned around the ground twice silently, and suddenly looked up and saw the old house at the entrance of the village.
It was his second home. Liang Mu married him there and gave it to him with all his heart. Naturally, he had a strong attachment to it, and he walked straight there without hesitation.
When the good dog playing with the children reacted, Ruoyan had already disappeared, which scared the little baby to cry loudly and shouted that he had lost his aunt.
The grass roof on the mud grass house seems to be new, and many cracks on the mud wall are also filled with mud. The paper on the doors and windows is white and clean, and the red paper stirs up the red pig window flowers in the middle. Looking so warm and quiet, he reached out and pushed open the wooden gate, "Is there anyone?" No one answered. You can't let Dai sell it for money, can you?
She boldly entered the room. Seeing that everything here was as usual, the pimples in her heart finally loosened, and there was little floating dust on the counter. It could be seen that it was often cleaned by people. She reached out to touch the kang and pulled her hand coldly.
Ruoyan took firewood and filled it into the stove, found the flint and lit the fire. Listening to the sound of the fire tongue squeaking and licking the sound of the fire wall, she felt that her whole body was much warmer. After bumping all the way, I suddenly missed the sweetness of roasted sweet potatoes without food. I turned around and went to the space to dig out two big heads and threw them into the charcoal fire on the edge of the stove to roast them. I was looking forward to drooling.
When Liang Mu heard that his daughter-in-law was missing, his face was gloomy and said goodbye to the clan. He got up and came out to look for it. When his eyes touched the old house at the entrance of the village, the cooking smoke on the chimney had already told her where she was.
He smiled. He hadn't been so happy for a long time. He kept running somewhere for a moment. When he entered the room, he gasped tiredly, held the door frame in his hand and sighed, "It's really useless. It's so far to breathe."
"If you don't breathe, it's a dead man." Ruo Jing glanced at him and said, "When the matter is over, how much money does good gold need to repair the ancestral hall? I'm afraid that the money given to him is enough to build a new one?"
"The demand for good money this time is unexpected. He didn't want money to repair the ancestral hall, but to develop herbs and expand the farming area." Liang Mu said, squatting next to her and coming over to warm the fire.
Ruoyan frowned, "Did you agree?" Catch up with the good years. Herbs make money, but they can't be eaten as food. Now every state and county has it in the famine years. If you make a mistake, I don't know how many people will starve to death.
Liang Mu shook his head, "How can your father-in-law be so superficial? I told him about the stakes and suggested that they use the vacant land in the mountains, but don't use the fertile fields."
The wife finally nodded with satisfaction, but she pouted, "Are you going to pay for the wasteland?" Liang Mu did not say anything and argued, "But I said that the money of herbs and flower plants in the first three years should be reduced by 30%." Ruoyu was satisfied and pinched his face. "This is almost the same."
Liang Mu held two black claw marks and laughed endlessly. He took Ruoyan's hand and acted obediently. For a long time, he asked for a newly baked sweet potato for the most reward, provided that he cut the hot sweet potato skin and gave it to his daughter-in-law.
The two* were eating sweet potatoes. Ruo Yan ate the most domineering food, which made her mouth greasy and crooked. Liang Mu pulled her over and reached out to wipe it, but it was sticky. She came forward with a bad smile. As soon as Ruo Yan wanted to hide, his tongue added her lips and repeated sweetly, "This time it's clean."
"Oh! It's disgusting." Ruo Ying rolled her eyes and said, "Okay, I'm disgusting to death." Liang Mu put down the sweet potato, put his hands on the back of her head, kissed her red lips fiercely, and bit it gently. He was not willing to stop until it was red and swollen. He was so angry that Lan Ruo gave him a good beating.
It didn't take a while for Liangshui to call for dinner. This simple and honest brother-in-law hated Ruo and Liang Mu's trust, but the daughter-in-law splashed some and liked to take advantage of small advantages, otherwise the affairs of Liangjia Village could be handed over to him.
When Ruoyu went back, the people in the clan were very knowledgeable and had retreated, leaving only a few close relatives of the Liang family. Dai knew that Ruoyu had returned to the old house, but she was not angry. She asked coldly, "Did you give incense to his uncle?" His uncle in her mouth was the old hunter of Liang Mu's mentor. Liang Mu nodded and felt quite uncomfortable, "I don't know if my mother will be on the 30th day..."
When he went to incense, he didn't see any decent tribute, so his face was a little ugly. The old man quickly explained, "It's done. There's a plate of chicken, duck and fish, and your daughter brought back is a pot of red. A few days ago, the family was busy, and no one looked at it. I don't know who's greedy ate it."
What kind of person is this? Do you also steal the wine? Ruo Yan shook her head in disgust. Liangni in Chelan's arms cried anxiously when she saw the adults eating. She thought it was in her way. Chelan simply broke her arms and stuffed her breasts/heads into the child's mouth. She immediately looked at several men dumbfounded.
Ruo Ying reminded herself over and over again in her heart that this is a very innocent and beautiful picture. Don't be disgusted, don't...
"What the hell are you doing? Don't mind kowtling..." Dai shouted and was so scared that the ribs on Ruo's chopsticks fell on the table, and Ruo's hurriedly bowed her head to eat. Che Lan picked up a few chopsticks and vegetables fiercely, turned her head and entered the room, and heard two cracks. Liang Ni's buttocks must have suffered, but she didn't know if the child was so painful and nervous that she didn't cry.
When Dai saw the ribs on the table, she shook her head. "What a good meat. It's a pity to throw it away after eating it."
"Ah!" If you feel that there is a gangster in front of you, the oil mud on this table is thick with a finger. It's better to fall to the ground and clean it! How dare you let me eat? Just as she hesitated, Liang Mu stretched out her chopsticks, naturally picked up the ribs and put them in her mouth, chewed them slowly for a while, and said with a smile, "My mother's craftsmanship is really good."
