70. The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother
Bai Wen was really sad in his confidence. He had no one to talk to at home. He wanted to talk to his eldest brother and vent his depression.
Geng Mei sighed, "Lao Si, I don't blame you for this. Maybe you can find a better one in the future. Don't worry, you're still young. Or you can work here to help your sister-in-law, so that you don't have nothing to think about it. When your eldest brother comes back, let
Geng Mei doesn't think it's a big deal to have a partner. There are hundreds of women in the family. Let's look for it again.
There are many good girls in the world. Why do you fall in love with this flower? Besides, they don't think it's their fourth brother, so there's no need to be sad.
"Fourth, you can help your sister-in-law sell apples these two days, and you can just go out for a walk."
He is not intimated by Bai Wenxin in business, and he also thinks it's a good idea to be distracted at his eldest brother's house.
"Oced, I'll go back and tell my father that I'll be watching the orchard from you these two days. Anyway, my eldest brother is not at home, and it's not safe for you and Yuxi to live alone on the mountain."
The little brother-in-law is disappointed in love. As a sister-in-law, Geng Mei can only make some delicious condolences to the brother-in-law's vulnerable glass heart.
"Mom, I really didn't see that my uncle is still a sentimental. Isn't he just lovelorn? Why is it like the sky is falling?"
Yuxi doesn't understand, but it doesn't mean that Geng Mei doesn't understand.
"Alas, girl, you are still young and don't understand... The man of our Lao Bai family, except for your father, whether your second uncle or your uncle is a long-term relationship. Don't see that your second uncle is divorced, but he hasn't been looking for it for it until now. Isn't he still thinking about Li Qian Your uncle will be fine in two days. Anyway, they haven't been together for a long time.
Even Geng Mei envied Li Qian very much. She did such a thing and made a man worry about her. If she encounters something like this in her life, it would be worth living less than ten years.
Listening to Geng Mei's envious tone, Yu Xi teased her, "Mom, my father is also like that. You didn't see how much my father loves me. Except for not drinking well, everything else is good."
Knowing that her daughter is protecting her father, but Geng Mei still talks about the matter. "You are your father's son. Can he not love you? Look when your second uncle has touched Li Qian, and he hasn't even talked loudly a few times. It's really rare to say that your second uncle is a man."
Yuxi shook her head, "Mom, if my father becomes like my second uncle, can you still see him?"
Geng Mei looked at her daughter funnyly, but thinking that the child is right. If her man really becomes like her brother-in-law, she will feel a little cold all over. She can't imagine how she should get along with such a husband. It seems that Bai Wenli is very good. After all, what suits her is suitable for her.
Holding his daughter's hand with a smile, "Little thing, you are reasonable. It's good that your father is still like this. As long as you don't drink, in fact, your father is still a good person."
I met Zou Li and others on the way. "Yuxi, you haven't been busy with us recently. Don't go back yet. Catch fish with us. There are a lot of fish in the canal over there. We're going to go there together."
Speaking of catching fish, Yuxi is a little eager to try. Since Bai Haoran went to school, she hasn't caught much fish. Last time she drowned a child by the river, adults basically don't dare to let the children go there alone.
Look up at Geng Mei, "Mom, I want to go, too. I want to catch fish for you and Dad to eat."
Geng Mei knew about the ditch of their regiment. It was a major canal (dry canal) that came down, about 40 meters wide and two meters deep.
When you get to the regiment and then branch canal, the water depth is about 1.5 meters.
When you get to the field, divide it into smaller irrigation canals.
What Zou Li said is a small canal, which is not very deep. Even if their daughter falls into the water, she will not be able to drown.
So he nodded at ease, "Go ahead, be careful. You guys should pay attention to safety. If you have something to do, call the adults to come over, okay?"
Several children nodded, and the adults told them to do the same when they left home.
Yuxi followed the friends in the village to the place they said. Sure enough, there were a lot of fish swimming in the narrow ditch. Maybe because of the large number of fish, it was no less than fluttering in the water. However, these fish were not too big, and the largest was only half a catty, but these stews were more than .
The boy picked up his trousers and jumped into the ditch, leaving two girls on the side to pick up the fish on the shore. Yuxi was lucky to be picked by them to pick up the fish. Everyone agreed that they could divide it equally.
A group of children came up, and the ditch was suddenly full of small feet. Yuxi felt that it must be good to fish in the muddy water. Small hands were pulling in the ditch, and it was not easy to throw a fish.
Although the children are small, it is definitely not difficult for the children who grew up in the regiment to catch fish. Yuxi usually stays in the orchard and has little time to catch them. The other children are veterans.
The brothers and sisters at home have taken them to catch fish many times. When the brothers and sisters go to school, it will be their turn to catch them in person.
"Yuxi, big fish, catch it quickly."
Zou Li shouted below and saw a big fish about eight taels thrown to the shore.
"Zhengdong, there seems to be a big fish on your left."
When Yuxi picked up the fish, she did not forget to remind the child below that she stood high and could see more comprehensively. She handed over the work of picking up fish to Xiaoping, who began to officially command on it.
It turned out that a clear ditch made these people flutter. The water was already turbid. Fortunately, the fish were almost caught.
A group of children went ashore and began to count the fish they caught. Basically, each person can divide it into two strings. Anyway, it looks like about two catties.
Yuxi doesn't think the fish is small. It's delicious to take this home to make soup. When his brother comes back, he can still drink some fresh fish soup.
A group of children wandered home with the fruits of their victory.
"Yuxi, why don't we go to your orchard in the afternoon? We haven't played with you for a long time."
Zou Li is the most enthusiastic one, and Zhengdong and others also followed.
Yuxi nodded, "Ole go there and I'll treat everyone to apples. After dinner, you can come to me. I'll take you there."
She also wanted to invite these children to the orchard to play, and also invited them to eat some of their apples by the way. It's impossible to send them one by one, but it's not easy to invite them to eat apples.
"Mom, I'm back from catching fish. You look at a lot of fish. Let's make fish soup for my brother and uncle at night.
Geng Mei looked at the fish in her daughter's hand. Not to mention that the fish was not too small, she didn't expect that her daughter could make fish.
He took the fish in Yuxi's hand with a smile and said with a satisfied face, "Okay, I'll do it for you in the evening."
Yuxi remembered the matter of inviting children to the orchard. He approached Geng Mei with a smile and said with some embarrassment, "Mom, I'll let them play in our orchard in the afternoon. Is it okay?"
Geng Mei looked at her daughter's small face and touched her head with a smile. "What's the matter? Take them to play in the afternoon. Mom will pick apples for them."
After dinner, the little guys all turned their baskets to the Bai family to report. While going out to play, they also had to beat pig grass for the family.
Geng Mei pretended to bring the food to her brother-in-law and led a group of children to the orchard. Lao Lu's wife teased her when she saw this scene.
"I said Geng Mei, you are the king of children now. Why don't you even take our children with you?"
Geng Mei smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, do you think I look like someone who can take care of the children? These children all want to play with our girl. Come by the way, won't your son take them back from his grandma's house?"
Lao Lu's daughter-in-law sighed, "Oh, don't pick him up for the time being. Lao Lu and I are also busy, and the child is also naughty. It's not like your daughter said to let her stay and not run away. The monkey child jumped up and down. I really don't have time to see him.
Geng Mei feels the same way about this. Raising a daughter is really different from raising a son. The little girl is obedient and well-behaved, not as difficult to manage as her son. Fortunately, their son is in school, otherwise she would have been tossed by this son.
"Forget it, don't worry. Don't you have two sons around you to study? Just wait for your child to go to school."
Lao Lu's daughter-in-law sighed, "You said that we wanted to get a daughter at the beginning, but we didn't expect to give birth to three children. Alas, it seems that I don't have a daughter's life in my life."
Geng Mei looked at Lao Lu's daughter-in-law and looked at their daughter's envious eyes. She smiled very understandingly. She hoped that both children would be perfect. This thing can't be forced, especially like their daughter, ordinary people really can't give birth.
Looking at her daughter holding a small basket, Geng Mei, as a mother, has a sense of pride in her heart, and her children are not as good as anyone else.
The child pulled the grass all the way while walking. Yuxi advised, "You don't have to pull it out here. Our orchard is full of grass. If you don't feel tired, you can pull it wherever you want. Keep enough for your pigs to eat."
As soon as she arrived at the orchard, Geng Mei first asked Bai Wenxin to eat quickly. As soon as the guy saw the food she brought, he immediately grinned.
"Sister-in-law, it's still you. I know that I love meat. Hey hey, you're welcome this time."
I ignored my brother-in-law's meal, and Geng Mei led a group of children to the orchard to pick some ripe apples.
"You guys eat slowly here. After eating, you pick them by yourself. Auntie, go to work first. Yuxi, you are here with everyone."
Geng Mei didn't have time to play with the children. She picked the fruit for them and quickly went to the orchard to do her own stall.
Bai Wenxin had finished his meal and wandered to Yuxi and his children. When he saw other children gnawing at apples, he even felt a little greedy. He had already eaten a few in the morning, but he saw the fragrance that the children ate. He is drooling himself. RS
