7. Aunt Zhang

Just after Qingming, the valley rain has not arrived, it was a sunny day, and suddenly it was gloomy, and a spring rain was coming. Suddenly, there was a messy sound outside the hospital. The farmers who have finished plowing the fields are hurriedly driving the cattle home, the hooves of the oxen stepping on the stone road make a "click" sound, the sound of adults calling for children, and the messy running sound of children are intertwined.

Just as Yueyan was about to receive the freshly washed sheets into the house, she heard footsteps at the gate of the courtyard.

"Is the moon up? I'm Aunt Zhang! As soon as the words fell, a middle-aged woman in her forties walked in with a bowl in one hand and a hidden door with the other.

Aunt Zhang? Yueyan, who has the memory of the original owner, of course knows who Aunt Zhang is, Aunt Zhang's family lives next door, and she is the distant cousin of the original owner's husband Lin Hao. Lin Hao's father and Aunt Zhang's husband Uncle Xiang are childhood friends who have grown up together since they wore open crotch pants, and the two brothers are closer than brothers.

"Yueyan, how is the injury on your head? Before dawn, Brother Hao knocked open the door of my house and said that your head was knocked, let me come and see you. Freshly cooked chicken broth, drink it while it's hot! Aunt Zhang said and took Yueyan to the back room and put the bowl on the table, then quickly swept the situation in the house, and smiled with satisfaction when she saw that the house was cleaned up neatly and cleanly.

Zhang's this is the first time Lin Hao came in after getting married, after handling Lin Hao and Yueyan's marriage three months ago, Zhang's went to his eldest daughter's house to take care of his daughter who broke her leg because she went up the mountain to chop wood, and helped her daughter finish planting peanuts and beans.

"Aunt Zhang, I've had breakfast, you better take the chicken soup back and give it to the duckling, it's time for the child to grow up now." Looking at the bowl containing only a dozen peanuts and the rest of the chicken, how could Yue Yan be embarrassed to accept it.

In the seventies, there was no feed to feed, only by eating insects and bran, a chicken grew to two catties at most, except for Aunt Zhang's family who served it to herself, it is estimated that there are few pieces of meat left. And Aunt Zhang also brought two big chicken legs, Aunt Zhang's family also has a six-year-old granddaughter, how can she eat chicken legs eaten by children. Now everyone's family is not rich, and sometimes they are not willing to kill a chicken to eat during the New Year.

According to the memory of the original owner Chen Yueyan (the original owner is also called Yueyan, but Yueyan's surname is 'Yue' and the name is 'Yan') knows that Aunt Zhang's family has not been peaceful in the past year, and Aunt Zhang's second daughter-in-law is not good at stubble.

"Eaten? Then drink some soup, or keep it for lunch, duck people snack chicken legs. These are for you to eat, and what is polite to your aunt. Since you marry Brother Hao, that is, my daughter-in-law, who can say that your mother will eat two chicken legs for her daughter-in-law? "Aunt Zhang doesn't have as many scruples as Yueyan, for Aunt Zhang, Lin Hao is no different from her own son, just not pregnant in October.

When Lin Hao was born one day ago, he lost his own mother, and he was fed by Aunt Zhang's milk, and he was pulled up with a handful of and urine, what is the difference between this and his own son? If Lin Hao hadn't decided to join the army when he was eighteen years old, it is estimated that he would have lived in Aunt Zhang's house until he married his wife.

Lin Hao's mother, Li, was bleeding heavily when she gave birth to Lin Hao, and the child was born, but Li did not suffer it. Aunt Zhang's eldest daughter is three months older than Lin Hao, looking at this newborn child who has no mother, the small lump is not much bigger than the newborn kitten, Aunt Zhang's maternal love ignited instantly, and without saying a word, she took Lin Hao home to feed.

In this way, Lin Hao stayed at Aunt Zhang's house, fortunately, Aunt Zhang's family was well-off, the food was good, and the milk was enough for the two children. Although Lin Hao's father, Lin Revolution, felt very embarrassed, he really couldn't help it. Lin Revolution is the only son in the family, his wife Li does not even have a mother's family, Li was killed by the Japanese when he was three years old, and without the protection of his parents, he was sold by his uncle and aunt to Lin Revolution's family as a child daughter-in-law.

Lin Revolution's father died when he was very young, and his widowed mother, Yuan's health, has not been very good, in case he has an only son who has no one to take care of in the future, so he bought Li as a child daughter-in-law.

Yuan was really prescient, Lin Revolution and Li grew up together, and Yuan died when Lin Revolution was fifteen years old. After the death of the Yuan family, Lin Revolution and the Li family depended on each other, and three years later the two formed a small family. Lin Revolution is a very diligent person, has a good carpenter skills, usually hunting and getting some meat dishes to eat, the little couple has a good life, maybe God can't see that the little couple is too smooth, just at home Tian Ding imported from the husband and wife to live a family of three, but Li lost his life because of giving birth.

Lin Revolution is no matter how careful and thoughtful a man is, he will not take care of a newborn child, since Lin Xiang and Zhang's husband and wife have a heart, they can only accept it.

Not only did Aunt Zhang and his wife regard Lin Hao as their own child, but why didn't Lin Hao take Aunt Zhang and his wife as his parents? Aunt Zhang and her husband have done everything that a parent should do for their children, and their biological parents are nothing more than that.

When Lin Revolution was still alive, Lin Revolution also took some rice and prey to Aunt Zhang's house to pay for his son's food, but when Lin Hao was eight years old, Lin Revolution went into the mountains to hunt but was scratched by a black blind man, and he had already gone before the village doctor arrived. Lin Hao has grown tall since he was a child, and he is only eight years old, and he looks like a teenager. A few years ago, Aunt Zhang's family was really a little tight.

"Aunt Zhang, this is too much, where can I eat so much alone. You brought me so many people in the family, what do you eat? "Seeing that Aunt Zhang looks like you will never compromise if you don't eat, Yueyan is really a little helpless.

"There is still at home, this is the big rooster that was killed yesterday to worship the ancestors and sweep the tombs, because yesterday the ancestors came back too late to sweep the tombs and did not eat it, this morning with peanuts and rice soup, a whole big pot. Don't be afraid of what the second family says, if she dares to talk nonsense, Aunt will clean her up! Aunt Zhang thought that Yueyan was afraid of what her second daughter-in-law would say.

"No, I really can't finish it......"

"If you can't finish it at noon, eat it at night, you are so thin, you have to eat more, but don't push it back. Don't see your aunt, Brother Hao won't be like this. Seeing that Yueyan was still pushing back, Aunt Zhang had no choice but to move out of Lin Hao.

"Then thank you, Aunt Zhang!" Aunt Zhang has moved out of Lin Hao, and Yueyan has no choice but to accept it.

"That's right!" Seeing that Yueyan was not shirking, Aunt Zhang nodded with satisfaction.

"Yueyan, what's the matter with your forehead? I had dinner yesterday, but why did I stumble after one night? Could it be that Brother Hao came back after getting drunk yesterday and did something to you? Does it still hurt? Looking at the gauze held on Yueyan's head, Aunt Zhang asked distressedly, although she believed that the child she raised was not the kind of man who would do something to his daughter-in-law, she was still a little worried.

It's not that there is no good man in the village who loves his daughter-in-law and children when he is sober, but as long as he is drunk, he seems to have changed his appearance, as if he treats his daughter-in-law and children as enemies who do not share the sky and beat them to death. Aunt Zhang had never seen Lin Hao drunk before, and she didn't know if Lin Hao would beat someone when he was drunk, so she asked.
