Chapter 045: The Xiao Family
His smile was like a spring breeze, and it was the first time He Pei'er had seen him so happy in the two lives, but it was a pity that half of his face was covered by hair, otherwise he would definitely be as charming as a god, but she was also crazy just like this.
The woman's apricot eyes were clear, staring at herself without blinking for a moment, and her pink red lips were slightly open, as if she was about to shed two drops of saliva if she didn't pay attention to it. Xia Lin coughed lightly, and did not shake her eyes, but felt a little uncomfortable.
After his reminder, He Pei'er finally came back to her senses and realized that she was crazy again, she turned her face sideways to hide her embarrassment, and said hurriedly, "It must be good for multiple people to help, as long as you think it's okay." ”
In fact, just now she wanted to ask him if he would be bored at home alone, and she didn't know if she paused at the exit, so she asked if Cheng was afraid of it, and her brain was dizzy.
In the future, you have to stay away from Xia Lin, and you are doing what you are doing beautifully, which is demagogic.
"I'm fine, you can take your mother-in-law with you." Xia Lin quickly returned to his usual indifferent appearance, and his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, like a deep pool that could not be found to the bottom, making people unpredictable.
He Peier answered, saw the ugly mother-in-law weeding in the vegetable field, and lowered her head to help.
However, when people are in the field, their minds fly far away, and I don't know how my cousin has returned home, and whether she has talked to her aunt about divorce. My aunt is just a daughter of my cousin, and I will never let my cousin be wronged, knowing that Zhu Xingping is such a person, it should be no problem to withdraw from the marriage.
He Pei'er broke her heart here, but when Xiao Xiaojuan returned home, she didn't say anything about today's incident at all.
Before, she ran home in a hurry, and she was also angry in her heart, planning to tell her mother about today's events, and let her mother decide the divorce for her. But before she entered the courtyard, there was the cry of the little nephew in the side room, as well as the distress and sighs of the mother and sister-in-law.
The courtyard of Xiao's house is not big, a main house with three partial rooms, the roof is a little green tile except for the middle part, both sides are made of wool and grass, and some places can be seen that they have been renovated the year before, and the beams and pillars and fences are still new.
At this time, it was noon, and there was some green smoke on the roof of the small kitchen next to the side room, but there was no one in the house, Hu Cuiying went to the eldest daughter-in-law's room with a medicine bowl.
The youngest grandson's condition recurred in the past two days and he was taking medicine.
When a four-year-old child is naughty, even if he has a fever, he is unwilling to drink black bitter medicine, crying and making trouble, so he can only hold his hands and feet and force it.
After feeding a small bowl of medicine, Hu Cuiying and her eldest daughter-in-law were sweating.
Zhou Fang put the old iron spoon in her hand back into the medicine bowl, watched her son cry sobly, her heart also hurt, and reached out to take out a handkerchief to help her son wipe his face.
"Mom, Xiaobao may really have to go to the city to see this situation, it's not a way to keep repeating like this." I watched it twice in the town before, because my cousin borrowed a hundred yuan in my hand, and I used the best injections and medicines, and I also bought malt milk essence, cod liver oil, and tonic the body to enhance resistance. Half of the money was spent, but I didn't expect it to relapse after only half a month.
Mother and son are connected, the eldest daughter-in-law is only twenty-three or four, and she feels wrinkled at the corners of her eyes for the sake of her little grandson over the years. Hu Cuiying sighed, "I have saved all the money for their business in Shaoguo these days, and when it's almost over, I'll take Xiaobao to the city to have a look." ”
In the past, she was powerless, and her family was so poor that she didn't even have a marriage for her youngest son, and she had no money to take her little grandson to the hospital in the city.
Zhou Fang responded happily, felt a shadow at the door, and looked up, it turned out to be the sister-in-law who had returned.
"Xiaojuan, what are you doing standing at the door, and you won't squeak when you come back." The mother-in-law just said that she would take her son to the city to see a doctor, and Zhou Fang was also happy in her heart and smiled at her sister-in-law.
And Xiaobao in her arms cried even more fiercely when she saw her aunt coming back, just now her grandmother and mother forced him to take medicine, his mouth hurt, and he couldn't find anyone to be coquettish, and now when he saw his aunt, he immediately moved down from his mother and cried to find his aunt to hug.
Xiao Xiaojuan put down the small basket on her body, squatted down and hugged her only little nephew in her arms, and while coaxing, she went outside and took him outside to see the two big white geese raised at home.
The child was so coaxing, and he was sick again, so he soon stopped crying, and obediently lay on Xiao Xiaojuan's shoulder and didn't move.
Waiting for her nephew to fall asleep slowly, she carried her to the eldest brother and sister-in-law's room and gently put her on the bed. The illness of the little nephew is the knot in the heart of the whole family, and the five adults are just such a small child, and everyone feels distressed when they see him being tortured by the illness.
Xiao Xiaojuan felt bitter in her heart, now that life at home is a little better, if she makes trouble to withdraw from the marriage again, the debt she has just paid off, and the little money she saved will be gone.
Moreover, the Zhu family's bride price of 250 yuan is not a small amount at all, and it will make the family saddled with foreign debts. Thinking about the second brother's marriage, the little nephew's illness, and the divorce, Xiao Xiaojuan didn't mention a word.
He Peier didn't know what happened to her cousin's marriage, but she remembered in her heart that Zhu Xingping had said about the bride price before, so she counted her own money, except for leaving a few yuan for pocket use, she found a cloth towel to wrap the remaining 150 yuan, and prepared to leave it for her cousin to withdraw from the marriage.
But she waited left and right, and she didn't see her cousin come to her until the next day.
He Peier couldn't help it, put a fish in a plastic bag and carried it in her hand, and wanted to go to her aunt's house to see the situation.
There is still a mountain road of more than an hour from here to her aunt's house, and He Peier set off after lunch, and it was still early when she arrived at her aunt's house.
From the previous life to the present, He Pei'er has not been here for decades, and the yard is still as she remembers, and the house is the most dilapidated at the very edge of the village.
"Aunt......" He Peier stood at the gate of the courtyard and called inside twice, and Hu Cuiying, who was feeding the pigs behind the kitchen, hurriedly threw away the water scoop in her hand, wiped her hands and came out to see.
Sure enough, her niece was standing outside the door, Hu Cuiying smiled happily, took a stick to drive away the barking big yellow dog, and let her niece come in and sit.
"Pei'er, you're here, why don't you buy a fish!" Seeing that she handed herself a big fat fish, Hu Cuiying felt sorry for her spending money again.
"Caught in a waterhole." He Pei'er knew what her aunt was thinking, so she explained.
It turned out to be caught, Hu Cuiying didn't think much about it, only smiled at her, "That's good, you will eat here at night, it just so happened that I stewed the fish, and then ask your cousin to send you back." ”
He Peier didn't rush to answer, seeing her aunt smiling so happily, her intuition told her that Zhu Xingping's uncle didn't know about that man.
Didn't Sister Juanzi tell her aunt?
He Peier was a little inexplicable, and at this time, the cry of a child came from the side room.
Hu Cuiying put the fish in the basin, wiped her hands and said, "Pei'er will sit down first, Xiaobao will wake up." ”
