C18 Aunt
He walked all the way to the courtyard entrance of his uncle's house and saw his aunt, Wangshi, feeding the chickens to the chickens inside of the house. When she saw Xiawanqing, she immediately put down the chicken bed and cried, "Aiya, Qingqing, why are you here today? "Come in!"
As she spoke, she walked over and opened the courtyard's fence door, allowing Xiawanqing to enter. She sized Xiawanqing up from head to toe, and then said: "Xinqing, it's been a long time since you've come to visit your aunt."
Just these simple words were enough to ignite the tears in Xiawanqing's eyes. Now, she felt that she herself loved to cry so much.
In his previous life, he had rarely visited his uncle's home ever since he had gotten married, and had never visited his uncle's house ever since he was sold. Looking at it now, it had been seven or eight years since he had last seen his uncle's house.
"Aunt!"
Xiawanqing's voice was filled with tears. She suddenly reached out and hugged Wangshi, scaring him into a jump. This country bumpkin's emotions were all reserved. To be hugged by a child like this, that was basically something that he did not do.
"What's wrong, Su Qing? What happened? Did your grandmother hit you again? Don't cry, don't cry. " Wangshi lightly patted Xiawanqing's back. When Xiawanqing heard this familiar voice, his tears fell even more violently.
She finally understood what Xiawanhee felt like, and understood why she would wail when she saw him by her side. It was because she found someone to rely on, and she never cried in front of him, no matter how uncomfortable it felt, she wouldn't dare to cry out loud, because Taoshi and the others weren't her people.
She didn't know how to describe her feelings, but it was obvious who was good to her and who was bad to her.
"Aunt, I haven't seen you in a long time. Xianqing is missing you a little. Is Uncle okay?" and Cousin, Cousin, Cousin, and Cousin. " After a long while, the Xiawanqing finally raised his head and asked.
"Alright, everyone's fine. It's just that I miss you a bit sometimes." Then, he took the small bundle on Xiawanqing's back and brought him into the house.
"You haven't eaten yet, right? Auntie, I'll cook some eggs for you to eat." As Wangshi spoke, he put down his bag and prepared a bowl of sweet water for Xiawanqing. Then, he prepared to go to the kitchen in the backyard to cook Xiawanqing's eggs.
"No, no need to trouble yourself, I won't eat." Xiawanqing hurriedly said.
"What are you talking about? You came to aunty's place. There's no need to be so courteous. All of the chickens in my aunt's house are laying eggs. There are plenty of eggs. Your cousin and the others can't finish them all." Wangshi scolded him as he headed towards the backyard.
The custom here was to treat guests to eggs when they came. Of course, this was only limited to the hospitable families and whether or not this guest held enough weight in their hearts.
After Xiawanqing married to Shenzhanglin in her previous life, she would only carry bags and bags of things back to her parents' home every time she returned. She had never had the face to eat an egg at her parents' house.
Cuishi looked down upon Shenzhanglin, thinking that he was just a hunter, not as good as Gujinyi who was an Elementary Scholar. Of course, the most important thing was that she looked down on him as well.
Every time he went home, he would not even get to drink a bowl of sweet water. The Cuishi would only cry with him because he was poor, the orators were poor, he had raised a few hens with great difficulty, and the eggs he laid would have to be exchanged in the town for money to buy some rations. This way, every time he would have to take some eggs from his mother's house to give to Cuishi.
But then, there was one time when she went back with Xiawanhee. She arrived first, and Xiawanhee came later, but she found that when Xiawanhee came home, he had immediately welcomed her warmly, and was about to cook eggs for her. Furthermore, the eggs were brought from here herself.
Cuishi even said to himself, "Xi Qing, don't mind her, your sister is in control of a big family, her life is tough, and she has a sister-in-law at home. Your brother-in-law is studying, and her wife is hard at work, so how can she compare to you?
"Mm, I'm fine, mother." Even though his heart was filled with tears, Xiawanqing still replied with a coy smile at that time.
"What is it?" Look, she's already turned into a big flowery cat. Did she suffer any grievances at home? If you have any grievances, just tell Auntie. " Wangshi walked over with a bowl of egg soup.
"No, I'm fine." Xiawanqing hurriedly wiped her tears. She had actually shed tears again after thinking about the past.
"Here, eat." Wangshi handed the egg soup to him.
At first, he said he would cook two eggs for her, but when Xiawanqing brought it over and looked, he found six eggs and a big bowl inside, she could not finish them all as a little girl, but from here it could be seen how much he loved her, if not for the fact that he truly valued her, she would not have treated him this well.
"Aunt, this is too much." Xiawanqing replied, "I can't finish all of them."
"Kid, what are you talking about? You're growing up right now, so you need to eat more. Hurry, eat while it's hot. If you don't eat and waste the food, then Aunt will be angry." Wangshi said with a straight face.
"Yes." Xiawanqing nodded and took a bite, saying, "It's a bit too sweet."
"Is that so?" Wangshi asked in confusion. Xiawanqing picked one up and gave it to her to taste, then Wangshi opened his mouth to eat the egg. Xiawanqing immediately stuffed the egg into his mouth and said complacently: "Aunt, is it very sweet?"
"You demon, why did you have to use such a method to feed your aunt when I gave you food? It wasn't in vain for your aunt to love you when you were young." Wangshi sighed with emotion after finishing the egg in his mouth.
Xiawanqing then gave the egg to Wangshi to eat, and then she also ate the egg that she had just eaten a mouthful of herself, and drank some egg soup. The remaining four eggs were reserved for her uncle, Cuiyutang, and her cousin to eat.
"You, this child, this aunt had specially made it for you. Why did you leave it for them? If they want it, I can make it for them when the time comes." The Wangshi advised.
"Yes, I still need a belly to eat the food you made, Aunt." Xiawanqing also acted like she was spoiled by Taoshi, and as expected, Wangshi took advantage of her.
"Alright, alright. It's up to you. You haven't been here in a long time. Later, Aunt will kill the old hen in the house for you to eat." The Wangshi said as he prepared to go out to the courtyard to catch chickens.
"No, Aunt, I don't want to eat chicken. I just want to eat vegetables." Xiawanqing said, "The chicken still laid eggs. If you kill it, I will definitely not eat it."
"Alright, alright, alright. Aunt will listen to you. When your Yuvbiaoge comes back, I'll have him go to town and buy some meat." The Wangshi said.
"Don't, my Yuvbiaoge is already working hard outside, this town is so far away, don't tell him to go, I won't eat it, if you are really nice to me, just make me a sour bean, stir-fry it with chili, it's so delicious, I ate it last time and I can't forget about it." Yes, I haven't tasted your cooking for seven or eight years. This simple dish bears your love for me, and I have always kept it in my heart.
Hearing Xiawanqing's words, Wangshi knew in his heart that Xiawanqing was planning this for her.
"Alright, I'll cook whatever you want to eat for me." But Wangshi did not want her to help. She just wanted her to sit in the living room, afraid that she would be bored, so she took out a top that her big cousin had played with before from the bedroom for her to play with.
Xiawanqing was not a child, she naturally did not have any interest in this top, but she did not reject Wangshi's good intentions, so she picked up the top and pretended that she wanted to play. After Wangshi went to the backyard, she put it aside.
She walked around the house, wanting to see if there was anything she could help with, but Wangshi had already done all of this. Xiawanqing remembered that Wangshi had only fed half of the chickens to the chickens just now, so he ran to the courtyard to help feed the chickens.
"Cluck, cluck, cluck …" She imitated Wangshi and spilled all over the valley, causing all the chickens in the courtyard to come running over to eat.
"Cousin!" While she was feeding the chicken, a young girl walked in. She was wearing a brown linen robe and was carrying a handful of sweet potato vines into the house.
"Big Cousin." Xiawanqing took this basket and walked over to help Cuijiashan open the fence.
"Cousin, when did you arrive?" Cuijiashan was also very happy to see Xiawanqing. She carried the burden to the backyard and Xiawanqing put down the basket as she followed behind her.
Cuijiashan finished washing his hands, and wiped his face, then asked: "Cousin sister, did you just walk that way? I was cutting sweet potato vines on the roadside. Why didn't I see you? "
"I've been here for a while." Xiawanqing said: "Maybe I was too focused on traveling that I didn't see you."
"It doesn't matter." Cuijiashan touched Xiawanqing's head and pinched her face. Since she was young, she had always liked Xiawanqing, and when she grew up, she liked her the same way.
It had been a long time since someone had pinched Xiawanqing's face, so when Cuijiashan's hand was on her face, she was initially a little not used to it, but felt a little uncomfortable. Deep down in her heart, there was only a twenty-eight year old girl who had been pinched in the face by a little girl who was a bit younger than her.
However, she soon realized that she was just a little girl and she liked to pinch her cousin's face. That was how it should be. She would have to learn to forget her past slowly and start over again.
"Come, cousin. Your aunt has made eggs for you. Come quickly and eat them." Xiawanqing led Cuijiashan to the table.
Cuijiashan came over to take a look and said, "This is an egg my mother made for you, right? Eat it yourself."
"No, we've all eaten." The Xiawanqing said.
Then, he used all sorts of methods to make Cuijiashan eat this egg.
Alright, if it was in my own home, then Xiawanhee and Xiawanqiu would have already eaten without her saying anything. Maybe they would have started making a ruckus because there were less people in my family, how could they be like my cousins, who are so well-mannered, and so nice to me.
