Chapter 356: Milk, why have you lost weight!
Just as Gu Si thought, or as everyone expected, Aunt Pei's life was indeed difficult.
At that time, after Aunt Pei and her natal family were 'scared' away by Uncle Pei, she felt scared and did not dare to go back to Pei's house, so she stayed at her natal family and began to live her life without any regrets. The days of cows and horses.
When she first returned to her parents’ home, she had no intention of staying there permanently. The snacks, tobacco, alcohol and food she brought back were all used to honor her parents’ family, but she was not prepared at all for her own change of clothes and food rations. Now she thought about it She wanted to eat from her mother's family, but her mother also found some clothes for her to change into, so she worked harder and harder without complaining.
She was busy preparing for three meals a day. However, when she finished cleaning up and went to eat, she found that the table was in a mess and there was nothing to eat.
But the door of the room where the food was stored was locked, and the mother who held the key was already lying on the bed and sleeping.
Aunt Pei wanted to call her mother again but did not dare to call her. She was a little hesitant. Then she saw her younger brother and sister wearing a thin jacket that Lingxi had made for her after the New Year. A pile of clothes that were tall enough for her was piled beside the well.
"Fourth sister, my mother said you were fine, so she washed these clothes."
Aunt Pei looked down at the patched naked body her mother had found for her to change into. Wearing a patched coat, I remembered that I was still hungry.
“No, I...”
"Fourth sister, mom said that even if you get married, you are still our aunt. You used to do these kinds of work at home. This time, our family is not polite to you. We are all a family and don't see anyone outside, so you should also wash these things." Come on! ”
This is because the mother-in-law does not regard herself as an outsider!
Logically speaking, she should be moved, but why does Aunt Pei still feel that something is wrong? !
She nodded, forgetting that she hadn't eaten yet, and went to boil hot water, but was stopped by her sister-in-law.
"Fourth sister, we all wash our clothes with cold water. The water from the well is warm and not freezing..." She said and wiped away her tears again.
"This big family has not recovered from being struck by lightning last time. How can we collect firewood? There is only so much firewood in the house, how can we withstand the damage."
Aunt Pei The expression on his face was awkward for a moment, then he nodded, and fetched water from the well. He felt frozen just looking at it, and when he put his hand in the ice water, he felt a jolt.
She hadn’t washed her clothes with cold water in winter for many years...
It took me an unknown amount of time to finish the washing. She was cold and hungry. Thinking of the fact that there was no firewood at home, she looked at After looking at my father and brother who were weaving baskets, and at my nephews and nieces who were reading seriously, I still found a hatchet and carried the basket on my back and went out.
However, she didn’t know that just after she left, everyone at home who had their own things to do put down their things, quietly bolted the door, and after going back, kneaded the dough and cut the noodles. A small stove for stir-fried meat was started.
And when Aunt Pei came back with a basket of firewood, it was almost dark, and her mother hurriedly brought a bowl of vegetable paste.
"Fourth sister, I thought you had gone home! You were going to chop wood!
You said this...
They have all finished eating , Mom ate late, she gave you half of the paste, and you ate it "
Aunt Pei drank a bowl of bran, wild vegetables, radish leaves and other messy things, which made her almost sick, but she was so hungry that she thought this was her mother's ration. , restrained hunger and left half the bowl.
Moved to tears.
The old lady comforted her.
"It's okay, you are my daughter, shouldn't I give you something to eat if my mother leaves something? Okay, go to bed when you are full!"
Just the half bowl... …
Where can I get enough to eat?
Second Aunt Pei felt uncomfortable and annoyed, thinking that she would have to find some way to get some good things to replenish my mother tomorrow, so she went back to the kitchen.
Aunt Pei built a wooden bed in the kitchen, and she stayed there at night. However, she didn't know that when she went to sleep, the old lady came directly into the house with the remaining half bowl of paste. , she also feeds two clucking dogs in her house, that thing is for chickens.
And what awaited Aunt Pei the next day was this kind of life again.
She made breakfast in the morning, and she had a bowl of breakfast paste. Then she cleaned the house, tidied up the yard, and continued to wash clothes...
A few days in a row, the family heard that the steel plant had begun construction. She couldn't sit still, so Aunt Pei mustered up the courage to go back to Pei's house.
But this time, her family did not follow.
This morning, Lingxi and Gu Si took the three little Minghui to play in the mud, oh no, to tidy up the vegetable garden.
The vegetable garden in the yard is still empty. Lingxi and the others discussed opening up the area east of the well and planting some fruits and vegetables.
On this move, only some of their commonly used and personal belongings were moved. The living room, study, and kitchen were not emptied. Pei Yanning had to run in both directions. He never knew when the living room, study, and kitchen would be empty. It can be used, and Pei Yu is still in the machinery factory, so he can't just move the yard over there into an empty shell.
Moreover, the yard was built on the family's homestead, so there was no telling if they would be able to stay there if they had no time to return to the county.
So, there is really nothing to deal with.
The home is also a place they are all familiar with, and there is nothing they need to get used to. There are even more things to play with, and the three little ones are visibly happier.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
Gu Si's mental power extended directly, and in the next moment, Lingxi saw a slightly shocked expression on his face.
Lingxi blinked, moved closer, and leaned against him. Her soul body crawled over, and she saw that the person she mentioned two days ago was back.
"She..." Why is she back now?
Lingxi was a little surprised, patted the dirt on her hands, and went to open the door.
“Second Aunt.”
At this time, Second Aunt Pei, whom I haven’t seen for just over a week, seems to have aged more than ten years. Years old, the whole person has suffered a lot.
Minghui heard the noise and came over, not knowing why.
"Nai, why have you lost weight?"
Aunt Pei's eyes instantly turned red when she heard this. She took Lingxi's hand and patted hers with the other hand. The back of the hand said, "Ling Xi'er, my second aunt has suffered a lot these days. , you don’t know, your uncle’s life is hard!
…”
Lingxi was stunned for a moment, and then she heard how life was not easy there. , how much sin she has suffered these days.
Lingxi: "..."
What should she say?
She can't just follow her wishes and help her parents' family!
She looked at Aunt Pei with a look of shock on her face, how could they treat you like that.
“Second aunt, you are so wronged!”
Lingxi first echoed, but after seeing her expectant expression, her words changed.
“How come they don’t know how to feel sorry for you!”
Aunt Pei was stunned for a moment.
Lingxi made a start, but things will be easier to talk about later.
“Second aunt, you and I are daughter-in-law, and in my parents’ family, we are just spoiled guests. In our family, the eldest brother and the second brother are reluctant to let me work for them from dawn to dusk. You see, even Minghui, who is so young, knows that Han Han is a girl, so you should take good care of her..."
