The Landlord And His Wife

    Liu Hong is an unmarried girl, so naturally she is not so rude, saying these things is just to hold grievances. Seeing her say this, she can only sigh and nod her head.

    He also comforted her in turn: "Our family is almost eating, but your second brother and I have hands and feet, as long as you work hard and put more effort than others, I don't believe it It's not as good as people, you go back to our father and mother, don't tell the truth, just say that we eat okay, don't worry the two old people."

    Liu Hong nodded and agreed to go back.

    He stayed in the courtyard for a while.

    The eldest sister-in-law has a hard waist at home, just because his parents' brother is so good, he always helps her. Now it seems that the third sibling's mother's family is actually the best among the concubines, and they have begun to help her with great fanfare. In contrast, his parents' family is also poor, and the lives of several brothers are also tight...

    Thinking of this, He sighed.

    Liu Changgeng's voice came from the room: "Why don't you come in?"

    He hurriedly agreed and entered the room. Liu Changgeng asked strangely, "I heard that Liu Hong has been walking for a while, why are you dawdling outside?"

    He concealed: "It's nothing, it seems that there is an apricot tree growing around here, and I stared at it for a while." Then he reached for the nest, and Liu Lin also reached out, and the bowl There is only one nest left.

    "Mother hasn't eaten yet!" Willow scolded.

    Liu Lin seemed to have been scalded, he hurriedly retracted his hand and smiled: "I just wanted to give it to my mother! I won't eat it, I'm full!" Said and patted his stomach, his face was a little hard to come down, and he quickly called Liu Xu'er: "Xu'er, go, go and see the rabbit!"

    When Liu Xuer mentioned that the rabbit was the most energetic, she promised to jump off the kang in a hurry. Liu Sen also shouted to go, Liu Lin came to pick him up, and went out with Liu Xuer.

    The willow tree looked at the mother's face very ugly, and hurriedly whispered: "I'm full too." And quickly went out.

    Liu Changgeng realized that Mr. He lowered his head and his eyes were all red. She didn't take the rest of the nest, she just kept it in the bowl, all alone. He sighed, picked it up and handed it to the He family: "What's wrong? Isn't it very happy that the family is split up? I earn and eat by myself, and I can make my own decisions in the future."

    When the children were no longer in front of her eyes, Mrs He couldn't hold back, she said what Liu Hong said just now with a choked voice, and said with tears: "I just feel uncomfortable, watching the children feel uncomfortable. Xu I'm still wearing the clothes left over from the willow willow forest, a girl, not even a proper girl's clothes... Moriko is one and a half years old, and after weaning, she hasn't even eaten egg custard..."

    "You said you were a mother, why did you cry when you cried? Why are you embarrassed when the baby sees you? Well, don't cry, now the family is separated, let's work harder than others Do some work, the children can have a good life! Don't you have two hens? We won't sell the eggs after laying eggs, we will make egg custard for Mori, and eat them every day!" Liu Changgeng said with a smile.

    He also felt embarrassed, she wiped away her tears, rubbed her nose and looked at him, but she couldn't help but groan: "It's easy for you to say! How can those grains be enough for next summer? The two folds of money divided are not enough to buy all the buckwheat, we still have to save the flowers, and save the eggs to sell..."

    Speaking of this, Mr. He encouraged himself: "That's right! Let's work harder, be diligent, and life won't be a bad one!"

    Liu Changgeng nodded: "That's right! Hurry up and eat the nest before you have the strength to work, I'll borrow tools first." He got off the kang.

      Save it then."

      Must not starve the child."

    He sighed and nodded: "Okay, three meals are only three meals, I'm not reluctant to feed my children, these grains will be gone in February next year..."

    Liu Changgeng laughed: "Why are you worried about that? I've cleaned up the house these days, and I'm still looking for work, be diligent, and still have nothing to eat?"

    He sighed again and nodded. Liu Changgeng went out. He also hurriedly divided the nest into two halves. He ate half of it himself and kept the other half for Liu Lin. The child might not have enough to eat in the afternoon, and he would eat it later when he was hungry.

    He rolled up his sleeves and began to scrub the stove.

    Liu Xuer and Liu Lin cleaned up the rabbit's feces here, Liu Shu came in and asked, "Let's bring those two hens in and feed them in the house? It's cold outside at night. , Chickens are also afraid of the cold."

    Liu Xuer thought about it and nodded: "Alright, put it at the door, don't ask them to jump in and peck the rabbit!"

    The willow tree ran out and brought in the chicken temporarily tied to the door. The catkin asked Liulin to find a bigger wooden plank to block it. Don't let the chicken go in and harass the rabbit.

    Liu Sen has been squatting in front of the rabbit, reaching out to touch the rabbit's fur.

    The catkins and the willows went out to pick some grass for the rabbits, enough to eat at night. In addition, some chicken food was mixed with the chicken, and the willow tree also found dead wood, scraped it with a sickle, and made a trough to put the chicken food in.

    The kids have been busy all afternoon. And Liu Changgeng also borrowed woodworking tools, repaired the doors and windows of the house, and then began to make a small kang table.

    Liu Xuer saw that the rabbit and the chicken were safe, so she was relieved, went to the kitchen to wash her hands, and saw that the mother had wiped the kitchen clean and was already washing the vegetables, so she went to help her cook.

    "Xu Er, do you really want to live alone? Don't want to sleep with your mother at night? Are you really not afraid?"

    Liu Xuer nodded and said: "Yes, I want to live next to the rabbit... Shi Cheng also said that when you grow up, you should live by yourself, and if you stay by your mother's side, you will be laughed at. She pouted deliberately: "I don't want to be laughed at..."

    When eating in the morning and saying that she lived alone, Liu Xuer didn't expect He's reaction to be so big, so just when she was busy with her work, she thought of a reason that could be said in the past, naturally it was to take Shicheng Take it out for cover.

    He sighed after hearing this: "Shicheng is a boy, and their family has big rules, which is different from our rural people..."

    Liu Xuer tilted her head and smiled on purpose: "Is what Shicheng said right or wrong?"

      Shi Chengniang knows words. There are still a few servants in the family, and these are already quite outstanding in the countryside. In the eyes of an honest countryman like He's, what a child taught by such a family naturally makes sense.

    After a pause, Mr. He sighed: "If you want to sleep alone, sleep alone, don't cry to your mother at night!"

    Liu Xuer giggled: "Certainly not, I have grown up!" She pulled the bellows hard and was very happy.

    He turned her head to look at her daughter's smiling face, and felt a little bit in her heart. In fact, this daughter is really annoying. Although she doesn't wear very well, she looks like Zhou Zheng and has a good mouth. Said, the most painful thing is that she is very sensible. She knows how to help the family at a young age, and her food is not good, and she has never seen her like Liu Yuner and Liu Tao, what other people have delicious food. Just leaned up, greedy gone.

    The Shicheng family I just mentioned moved back from the town three years ago. It seems that they lost money in business and can only return to their hometown. That Shicheng's mother was a grandmother and was used to being served, so she didn't look down on these native children in the countryside at all.

    But he is such a person, but he likes Xuer, and he likes it so much!

    He felt funny when he thought about Xuer and his family Shicheng. Not long after the Shicheng family moved, the elders of the clan called everyone to the Lizheng family, just to introduce the Shicheng family to everyone.

    The whole village went to a lot, it was noisy, and I didn’t know what was going on at the time. The two-year-old Shicheng got together with the two-year-old Liu Xuer, and I didn’t know what was going on. The two children suddenly burst into tears. You can cry if you want to, but the two of them are still hugging and crying.

    At first, Shi Chengniang thought it was a child fighting and crying. In the past, she wanted to hold Shi Cheng away, but who knew that the two children would not let go of life and death, but it was like holding a headache and crying. Made everyone around me laugh.

    In this way, their family and Shicheng's family have contact, that Shicheng's wife is very skillful, and the needlework that she makes is beyond the reach of all the girls and daughters-in-law in the village. , Shicheng's sashes, purses, etc., are more delicate than those in the city!

    The girls in the village are all greedy, and there are those who have the cheek to beg to learn.

    Listen to her, who can ask for more? You can't ask people to teach you the craftsmanship handed down from the family, right? At first, Mr. He also thought about it. He wanted to learn this craft and be able to do some needlework to help his family. Later, when he heard this, he gave up the idea.

      In her mother's house, the two children murmured all day long. When Liu Changgeng and He Shi were about to leave, Shi Chengniang took Liu Xuer's hand out and took the initiative to tell He Shi that she wanted to teach Xu'er the craft of knotting.

    He was so excited that he thanked him repeatedly, and asked Xuer to go to school the next day. After half a month of study, the autumn harvest begins. Harvesting crops is the top priority. Even if Xu'er is young, she has to help boil water and deliver meals, so learning to tie the knot is temporarily put on hold.

    I met Shi Chengniang at the set a few days ago, and He greeted her politely, just wanting Xuer to settle down in the past few days before going back.
