Li Laosi was afraid that his mother would be worried, so he quickly stepped forward to support her and said, "Mom, we are back. Erniu's wife has nothing to do, so she also came to stay for a while."
As soon as they got married, they went out and walked around, and also If you want to stay for a while, no one has this rule? !
Mrs. Li guessed that the matter was not that simple, but this was not the time to talk, so she smiled and said: "Okay, welcome! All the children at home have gone to school, and it is too deserted on weekdays. Erniu's daughter-in-law will live there more." It'll take a few days, so you can keep me company, an old lady."
Wei Erniu quickly pulled his wife, Xiao Cui'er, and stepped forward to salute and thank him, "Thank you, old lady, we...for disturbing you."
"What are you talking about heretics ? "What are you talking about?" Mrs. Li patted him on the shoulder, then held Xiao Cuier's hand with a smile and said, "My child, Er Niu and my fourth child have a life-long friendship. They are not real brothers, but they are better than real brothers." Dear! You live here as your own home. We can talk later if we have something to say."
Xiao Cuier's eyes were red with red eyes, her eyes were one-third aggrieved and one-third fearful, and she said cautiously: "Mom, I'm not lazy, I can work. Son, just call me if you have any work."
"Okay!" Mrs. Li understood the child's anxiety, so she responded with great joy, "Don't worry, the autumn harvest is about to begin, and there will be a lot of work at home. Help me clean up the vegetable garden."
Xiao Cui'er grinned as expected, "Auntie, I can pickle pickles! The pickles I pickled are said to be delicious by the whole village, and I will help you pickle more."
"Okay, that's it. It's settled!" Old Mrs. Li shook her hand and greeted everyone, "I'll take Xiao Cui and Er Niu to settle down. You follow the fourth to wash your hands and face. There are many steamed buns at home in the morning, and they will be warm in a while. I'll give you some belly support."
"Thank you, madam!" Everyone responded one after another, and just as they turned to go to the next yard, Li Yong and Hui Niang heard the news and came over with their children in their arms.
The fever of the twins was gone. After eating and drinking for two days, they regained their energy. Now one was pulling his father's hair mischievously, and the other was swaying in his mother's arms.
Everyone liked it so much that they couldn't help but come forward to hug and tease her.
Hui Niang also wondered why Wei Erniu had brought his daughter-in-law. When she heard that they were going to stay at Li's house, Hui Niang said: "Auntie, there are many people coming and going at your house, and the people in the front and back yards are also troublesome. Why not Let Erniu and Xiao Cui'er live in my house.
"Er Niu and Dayong go to the dock on weekdays. It would be great to have little Cui'er as my companion.
Li Yong also said: "Yes, Auntie, it is more convenient for them to live in our house! " "
Wei Erniu also knew that the Li family sincerely wanted to keep them, but in such a big courtyard, where all the distinguished guests came and went, they would indeed feel more comfortable in Li Yong's place.
So, he took his wife and paid tribute to Mrs. Li. , was going to Li Yong's house.
Mrs. Li didn't stop her and said, "You can stay wherever you feel comfortable. Let's take a rest today. Tomorrow we will cook more good dishes at home. You all can come and eat and have a good time. "
Everyone joked for a while, Huiniang and Li Yong put down the child, and took Wei Erniu and his wife back...
Jiayin woke up from her nap, washed her face and went to the front yard, where she saw the twins sitting on the mat under the eaves of the corridor.
The two fat children were given their nicknames with the help of the village chief. The boy was named Pingping and the girl was named Anan.
At this moment, they each held a fruit and were gnawing happily.
The fruit was peeled and scored with some lines to ensure that the two children You can taste it, but you won't bite off too big a piece and choke yourself.
Mrs. Li sat next to her, teasing the two fat children from time to time. Steam was rising in the stove, heating steamed buns and cooking rice. Porridge. Jiayin came forward, kissed the twins, then hugged grandma's arm and asked: "Grandma, why are you cooking at this time, and why is Ping Anan here too?"
Mrs. Li took Wei Erniu away After telling her about her daughter-in-law's coming, the little flame of gossip in Jiayin's heart immediately started to burn brightly.
"Miscellaneous, what's going on? Didn't Uncle Erniu just marry his wife? Why did he bring his wife out to live here?"
Li Laoer hit his granddaughter and said angrily: "You are so young, don't be like the tongue-tied woman in the village. In the same way, there is nothing you don't want to know about parents' shortcomings!"
"Hey!" Jiayin giggled and quickly found an excuse, "Uncle Erniu saved daddy, and I care about Uncle Erniu too!"
Just as she was talking, Hui Niang said When she came, she also knew that Mrs. Li was worried about her, so she took the initiative to tell her without waiting for questioning.
"Auntie, the Wei family is not authentic! Erniu is a simple and honest man. He has worked a lot since he was a child, but he is not as talkative and coaxing as his brother, so the family favors his brother.
"The wife his brother married is the daughter of a cloth shop shopkeeper. Xiao Cuier is an orphan girl in the village who was taken in by the Wei family and worked as a child bride for Er Niu.
"In the past few years, brother Erniu and his wife have lived in the county town, but they have had to ask for food and drink from their families. Erniu's salary has been given to his brother by his parents. As a result, little Cuier worked as a cow and horse in the Wei family, and was beaten and scolded. " They didn't even have enough food and clothing.
"I didn't know this until Er Niu returned to his hometown to get married this time, and the banquet hosted by the Wei family was very shabby, and they didn't even prepare a wedding dress for Xiao Cui'er.
"Er Niu's mother snatched the fabrics and jewelry we gave her and gave them to her sister-in-law. She said that she would support her old age with the boss's family and did not expect Er Niu.
"Er Niu wanted to take Xiao Cui'er to live alone, but they still didn't agree. Xiaocui stayed at home and worked as a cow and a horse, driving the two cows out to earn money..."
"This is too bullying! "Old Mrs. Li was very angry when she heard that, "The palms and backs of the hands are all flesh, but they are their own children. The old couple of the Wei family must have been fooled by lard! Not to mention whether the boss is reliable or not, even if Erniu and Xiaocui are so filial and sensible, they can't be bullied like this? ! "
Yes," Hui Niang also sighed and said in a low voice: "This family is just like the Yan family, they are so cruel."
"What's Er Niu's plan? " "Old Mrs. Li frowned, "It won't help the children who are partial! The old couple is counting on the eldest brother to support them in their old age, but they may not be able to count on it, and they might look for Erniu in the future..."
Madam Hui nodded and replied: "I heard from Xiaocui that Erniu has to go back, and his second uncle has arrived early. After passing away, there was no one to inherit the incense. Erniu thought about inheriting the name of his second uncle. From now on, his parents couldn't count on his eldest brother, so if they found him, they would be cousins.
"Even if he is not at home, Xiaocui will not be bullied too much by his parents."
"This is also a good idea!" Mrs. Li lit up her eyes, "They say that all parents in the world have a filial piety. , but Erniu is also unlucky when encountering such a father and mother. It would be better to leave more escape routes for yourself!
"Xiao Cuier seems to be a hard-working and responsible girl. The old couple of the Wei family will be in real trouble in the future. As long as they are safe Even though Xiao Cui'er wouldn't leave them without a destination. "
The two of them were talking lively, but Jiayin was scratching her head with anxiety.
For no other reason than she couldn't bear to part with it!
The set of jewelry she gave her was to thank Uncle Erniu for saving her father, not for greedy wolves like the Wei family. Yes!
