Leisurely Farmer's Family: A Strong Man and His Broken Leg Son-in-law

After eating on the flowing table, the women and husbands who helped in the village did not leave.

The men shuttled back and forth between the five tables carrying trays, taking back piles of empty bowls and plates and placing them in front of a large basin filled with water.

The women and husbands took it off the tray, washed it in clean water, washed it again in the basin next to it, and finally put it into a bamboo basket to drain.

All the dishes borrowed from the village must be returned one by one. The bowls in each house are marked, so there is no need to worry about making mistakes.

Nian took out a handful of red envelopes from his arms and handed them to Liu Maolin and Liu Fan who were about to send the bowls back.

"When you return it, let everyone order it in person. Don't make any mistakes!"

“These red envelopes belong to each family, don’t miss them!”

When the villagers hold a wedding banquet and borrow someone's bowls and chopsticks, they can't return them empty. If there are leftovers, each family will bring a bowl. If there are no leftovers on the table, a red envelope will be given. .

Nian followed the old tradition and put two coins in each. She did not let others criticize her, and she did not try to flatter others and take advantage of them.

On the two pots and stoves in the courtyard, Wan Changsong was arranging the leftover meat and vegetables from the wedding banquet. He was busy making hats. Even though he had prepared two more tables of meat and vegetables, the helping women and husbands finally opened another table. What's left is limited.

After putting all the remaining meat and vegetables into a basin, Wan Changsong said goodbye and left.

"The meat and vegetables for the wedding paper are all ready." Wan Changsong pointed to a backpack and said.

"Just give these two big pots back to me when you cook the stove later!" Wan Changsong took off the apron he was wearing and was about to leave.

"Changsong, wait a minute!" Nian took out a piece of pork belly that was about five kilograms long ago and took out a red envelope before walking out.

"I've worked hard for you these past two days. Don't think it's too simple. Go home and give the children a meal!"

"These two big pots must be sent back tonight or early tomorrow morning!" The lines in the corners of Nian's eyes became thicker due to his smile, but they also became more kind.

"Okay! Thank you Auntie, I will accept it shamelessly."

After sending Wan Changsong away, the women and husbands in the village each grabbed a handful of melon seeds and left happily. There was nothing left at the banquet. Nian thought about it and put Wan Changsong in a bowl. Take out a few bowls of meat and vegetables that haven't been stewed in the pot yet.

Liu Fan, who returned from sending the bowl, gave it to several neighbors.

After everything was finally packed up, Nian's two nephews from her mother's family also came down from the mountain and said goodbye. Nian also gave them bowls of meat and vegetables.

Liu Meixiang and Liu Yunxiang happened to come out of the new house with empty bowls. They heard that their cousins ​​were leaving, so they came to stay as guests.

"Grandpa, grandma, parents, uncles and aunts, it's time for us to go back!"

Liu Yunxiang hugged Brother Jing, and Yang Youzhu, who was playing next to him, heard his mother say to leave and hurriedly ran over.

"Wait until Ayu goes up the mountain to burn the wedding papers for your second uncle and second aunt before leaving!"

"This...!" Liu Yunxiang was a little embarrassed. She glanced at her husband, but Yang Xin remained silent and let her make her own decision.

Liu Yunxiang looked at Brother Jing in her arms and declined politely: "The days are short in winter and Brother Jing is young, so he can't walk at night!"

"That's it!" The child is older, and it will indeed be much colder in the second half of the day. It doesn't make any difference if he leaves early or later. Nian went back to the house to get a piece of meat, put it in the basket on his grandson-in-law's back, pushed it a few times, and put it in. .

"This is for us Yunxiang and my great-grandson, why are you so polite!" The old lady was not as strong as Yang Xin, so she lightly patted Yang Xin's arm as he was about to take it out.

Suddenly Liu Yu and Chang Sheng also came out. The three Liu Fan brothers carried baskets on their backs, carrying yellow paper and firecrackers. Nian explained the rules of worship and asked Liu Yu and Chang Sheng brothers to accompany Liu Yu and Chang Sheng up the mountain.

"Tell your parents, we two immortals have brought you up, and now we are married. Let them rest assured. It's time to reincarnate, and stop worrying about the people above you!"

Nian's cloudy eyes were filled with water, and Liu Yu opened her mouth to say something.

Nian waved his hand and sent everyone away!

This time Liu Meixiang was about to say goodbye and go home. Seeing the old lady looking so sad, she swallowed back the words she was about to say.

Forget it, let her leave later! My daughter is rarely relaxed and happy today, and she doesn't really want to go back to that home.

"Grandma, let's make dumplings with bread. Ahyu is getting married today. This is also the first time he and Changsheng have a potluck meal with our family, so they should make dumplings."

Liu Meixiang found something to say, held the old lady's arm, and led her to the courtyard.

Nian came back to her senses and saw her eldest granddaughter looking at her with concern. She felt warm in her heart. She patted Liu Meixiang's hand and nodded gently: "You are right. There is a new member in the family, so you can't make dumplings to eat." !”

Eating dumplings is a joyful thing. It is so delicious when the whole family can enjoy a hot meal of dumplings together.

But before that, she still had something to do.

Glancing at Wu Chengxue, who had been eating caramel and melon seeds from a bamboo plate in the main room, Nian looked at Wu Ping, solemnly looked on his face, and asked: "Eldest grandson-in-law, how did I hear that your parents intend to adopt the eldest son of your second wife to you. "

Wu Ping hurriedly looked at Liu Meixiang, hoping that she would recognize this, but Liu Meixiang kept looking at her nose and heart, looking down at the tip of her shoes without making a sound.

Xu Hong and Qi Chunhua, who were cleaning the yard, heard about it and came over in a hurry.

Seeing that Wu Ping's face was red with anxiety and he still didn't understand, Xu Hong stuffed the broom into Qi Chunhua's hand.

Pointing at Wu Ping, he asked: "We, Mei Xiang, are not infertile. Why do you want to adopt a child from your second wife? You can see for yourself whether the child can be relied upon in the future. Don't think that my words are unpleasant. I'm afraid that if you die in the future, your family will not be able to bear children." There’s no place for me, Mei Xiang, to set foot!”

"This...this...this is what Mei Xiang and I mean. Even if we don't have someone to help us when we get old, Xiaoxue is a girl, and she will have a brother to support her when she gets married in the future!"

On a cold day, Wu Ping broke into a thin layer of sweat under his mother-in-law's sharp words.

"If this can't be done, if you really want a boy, I'll ask someone to inquire about it. If there are families whose parents have died, or whose children can't be fed, we can take one back and raise him as a child. relative."

In the end, Xu Hong couldn't bear to embarrass him and gave him a second plan.

Wu Ping had a bitter look on his face. Mei Xiang had mentioned this matter two years ago and was scolded by his mother. She bluntly said that the Wu family's money and food did not support a bastard. Even if he took her home, she would be pressed into a basin and drowned!

Wu Ping just looked at the Liu family's grandpa, grandma, mother-in-law, and third aunt looking at him with serious eyebrows, and Wu Ping didn't dare to say anything.

"Go back and tell your parents what I said. Either Xiaoxue will marry you when she grows up, or you will raise a child from afar and want me, Mei Xiang, to be a wedding dress for nothing. Just dream!"

Xu Hong was rarely angry, and her chest was rising and falling with anger. The head of the house was not around at the moment, and no one was speaking against her. What could she say?

Wu Ping pulled out Wu Chengxue, who was eating and had a bulging mouth, from the main room. Ai Ai called Liu Meixiang: "Meixiang, let's go back!"

"What are you going to do? If your family doesn't give me an explanation for this matter today, Mei Xiang won't go back!"
