The Landlord And His Wife

Liu Changshi went to the kitchen to wash his hands and face first, and then followed everyone into the room with a smile. As soon as he entered the room, He Ruyu hurriedly stood up and came over to stand by the door.

"Fourth, sit down and drink some water." He Wenqing hurriedly gave Liu Si his glass of water, and said with a smile, "We originally planned to get firewood or something today, You are fast."

Liu Changshi drank the water in one breath and wiped his mouth with a smile: "Don't worry about it now! You don't need to worry about saving your wounds. You don't need to worry about the rest. "

"It was a dead tree, I went to the innermost and found it. I wanted to see if there was anything in the depths of the ditch, but when I saw this tree, I quickly gave it to Got it back." Liu Changshi said.

Liu Changgeng nodded, they were talking in the room, He Ruyu came out first, and brothers He Wenyu and He Wenhui gave a wink and came out.

The brothers only heard the news last night, and they came here today to tidy up the firewood for my sister's house. I didn't expect that the fourth child had already found the firewood, and they couldn't do anything. No, so the two of them started splitting the tree.

As soon as the two of them started working, Liu Changshi and He Wenqing in the house couldn't sit still, so they hurried out, chopping wood, and following the willow to the wheat straw resistance.

When Liu Gao and Liu Hong entered the door with their food baskets, they saw such a hot and dry scene, Liu Gao's originally dignified and dark face suddenly lit up , greeted the brothers of the He family loudly, and greeted them with a smile.

Liu Gao's side still maintains two meals a day, but Liu Changgeng's side eats three meals a day, breakfast has already been eaten, and lunch is not yet time.

However, the He brothers and Liu Changshi didn't eat, Liu Sen is a hungry person, and when he sees delicious food, he is greedy. The family sat down and started to eat.

"You don't have to worry, go back and talk to your in-laws and in-laws, don't worry! This food and drink can always be fed into your mouth, and they will definitely not be hungry. Your uncle and I will have a bite. If you eat, you won't be hungry for children!" In front of the He brothers, Liu Gao was about to say something.

He Wenqing nodded hurriedly: "Yes, that's for sure! If my mother wanted to come, my father didn't call, and said that some of our brothers would come and help with some work. , there's no need for the family to come here, but it seems like something is wrong. My mother actually just wanted to see the injuries of my sister and brother-in-law, we all know those things, and we don't worry about them!"

Liu Gao nodded, and in front of the He brothers took out a blue cloth handkerchief, opened it, and put a small piece of silver in it, and handed it to He He said: " This is two taels of silver, the money for you to take medicine and change medicine!"

He was taken aback, and he didn’t expect Liu Gao to be like this in front of everyone, his face flushed, and he hurriedly pushed back into Liu Gao’s hand: “Mother! No need for it, we went to the city to see the injury, and the money spent on seeing a doctor and getting medicine was all paid for by my father, and it cost more than four taels of silver! Now that we have come back, I really don’t want it!”

Liu Gao's face was sullen: "Why not?! The medicine still needs to be eaten, and the wound needs to be changed. Don't think I don't know! It all costs money, I'll give it to you. Just take it, just to make you feel at ease! You can't drag the injury down to save some money."

"But it doesn't take so much..." He said, and turned around to push Liu Changgeng: "You are talking, it's not easy for parents to save some money..."

Liu Changgeng nodded: "Yes, mother, I can't use so much, the medicine people said that I should change it every two weeks. The medicine I took was only for three days, and it was already Got it."

Liu Gao hurriedly said: "Then there is still money for your meals!" Speaking of which, he put the silver into He's hands without a doubt, and said in a softer tone: "You take Now, even if it's to make you feel at ease, take it! Your father and I are very clear that there is not enough food! With this money, you have a bottom line. If you really don't have food to eat, just use the money to buy food to eat. If you don't need it, you should save it for me and your father!"

He knew that Liu Gao's purpose was to reassure them that they didn't have to think about running out of food all the time. I can only take it, nodding my head and sobbing: "Mother..."

The He brothers glanced at each other. They also brought money this time, but they did not intend to give it in person, not even in front of Liu Changgeng. His endless thanks...

People feel at ease, and also to show the family of He's family to see, even though he is a mother-in-law, even though the family is separated, it is not that he just ignores it. It's about personality.

He Wenqing thought for a while, thinking about the current atmosphere, probably Liu Gao also wanted to see what his brother brought. Since a few of your brothers came here with great fanfare, they must have brought something, so you can't do it empty-handed!

If you don't take it out now, it will be irrational! I had to take out two pieces of money from my body: "Auntie, sister, brother-in-law, this is what we brought... Auntie is right, sister, brother-in-law, you don't have to worry, these relatives and friends didn't say they can watch it. So, especially my sister, relax your heart."

Speaking of putting the two hanging coins on the edge of the kang, Mrs. He looked at the two hanging coins and felt very uncomfortable. Her parents’ family was poor, and these two hanging coins might have been prepared by her mother’s family for the Chinese New Year…

This requires Liu Changgeng to speak, he hurriedly said: "What are you doing, brother-in-law? It's not that we can't survive, it's just that we can't get off the kang for a month and a half. Well, you can still work and eat, why are you still like this, what are you doing with this money?!"

He Wenqing smiled and said, "Take it, auntie is right, even if it is for peace of mind!"

Liu Changgeng sighed.

Liu Gao saw that it was two taels of money, which was two taels of silver, which was about the same as what he took, and he felt at ease.

This side of the kitchen.

Although they are in-laws, they are both big boys, Liu Hong and He Ruyu are not easy to go forward, the two are busy in the kitchen, and Liu Xuer is also helping in the kitchen.

Liu Hong sneered and then smiled, reached out and nodded on her forehead: "You little baby, you have a lot to worry about! You don't care how much money you spend, and You don't need to pay!"

Liu Xuer hurriedly said: "Then I am also a member of the family, so I have to worry about it!"

Liu Hong laughed again, turned to look at He Ruyu who was also smiling, and said, "Look, what is your niece doing! It's not a big deal, how big of a heart!"

He Ruyu was shy, smiled and nodded and said: "Yes, very clever." She smiled and asked: "Xuer, I heard that you raised two rabbits ,where is it?"

Liu Xuer hurriedly said: "In the house! Auntie, shall I show you?"

He Ruyu smiled and nodded, then reached out and pulled Liu Hong out. Anyway, the meal was prepared at home, and the kitchen here was not alive. The two and a half girls followed Liu Xuer out of the kitchen and came to the rabbit's hut, and the cat went in to have a look.

Then she came out again and went into Liu Xuer's room to sit down and talk: "I heard that you followed me? My sister is all you back in and out? My mother knows, crying My eyes are swollen." As soon as he sat down, He Ruyu said to Liu Hong.

Liu Hong sighed: "It's nothing, my mother is very angry about this... But the whole village knows who my two sister-in-law are. It has nothing to do with the second sister-in-law. "

He Ruyu sighed and said, "In the end, it's also my sister-in-law. When I needed it, no one's sister-in-law came forward to help. My sister couldn't get through it on her face, and she definitely couldn't get through it in her heart." He took out two things: "I embroidered it and gave it to you. Don't dislike it."

Liu Hong took it over and looked at it, it turned out to be two white handkerchiefs, or silk, one handkerchief was embroidered with a plum blossom of Aoxue, and the other side was embroidered with a lotus flower, Liu Hong ate it Startled, he hurriedly shoved it back into her hand: "Yoyo! I don't dare to ask for such a precious thing!"

He Ruyu hurriedly pushed her back: "This is so precious! Sister Hong, just take it!" Her face flushed.

Liu Xuer has sharp eyes, grabbed the handkerchief from the hands of the two of them, unfolded it and asked in surprise: "Auntie! How good is your craft? Where did this silk come from?"

Liu Hong was actually puzzled, and nodded when she heard the words: "Yes, did you embroider this yourself?"

He Ruyu blushed and nodded: "I embroidered it myself. There is a daughter-in-law who married from the south in our village, and she has a good relationship with me. This embroidery skill was taught to me before. I embroidered a few pieces of blue cloth handkerchiefs and went to the county town to try to sell them. As a result, a mansion in the city took a fancy to them, so I appointed my wife and I to embroider handkerchiefs for them. They change them every quarter! As for the handkerchiefs, my daughter-in-law from the south and I made five dozen each. The silks were also given by them..."

He Ruyu blushed when she said this, smiled and lowered her voice: "They asked me to embroider handkerchiefs for silk, but there is always more silk, so I embroidered a few squares myself. Keep it to yourself."

Liu Hong heard the admiration on her face. Liu Xuer looked down at the embroidery, and it was indeed different from those embroidered by the daughter-in-law girls in the village, and it was much more delicate.

Liu Xuer is knowledgeable and knows that this embroidery will be alive in later generations. There are many local embroidery arts. The famous ones include Shu embroidery, Su embroidery, Gu embroidery, etc. The ones that develop fast are naturally Jiangnan there.

Liu Hong also took a handkerchief and looked at it, her eyes full of love and envy: "It's really different! Tell me, how did the people in the south figure out such embroidery art? Let's Why can't the people here figure it out? It's just like living!"

"Well, gracefully." Liu Xuer said.

It made Liu Hong and He Ruyu laugh, He Ruyu smiled and said: "When I came, I wanted to bring you something, and after thinking about it, I have nothing to give you, only this handkerchief I can still take it out, but my mother said, that fluffy thing is not useful in our farm family, and only I can give it away as a serious thing!" She said to Liu Hong with a smile: "Sister Hong , if you don't dislike it, accept it."
