Lin Anxin was sorting out the books in the room. After listening to Quan's report that Lin Qingshan and his wife were here, she put down what she was doing and welcomed them out.
Today, because of the arrangement of clothes and so on, she only chose a long apricot yellow thin jacket with lace, covered with a thick white cotton trousers, and wrapped with a apricot Lake silk handkerchief on her head. She looked very capable.
Deng Jinchai came up with little fish in her arms and said with a smile, "I don't know you're packing today."
Lin Anxin waved his hand and said, "it's OK. My uncle said that we should put things in order and send them there every day. I'm not in a hurry for one or two days. It's estimated that the warm room wine will be in the lunar month. Maybe it's seven or eight miles in the beginning of the year. My aunt said that if we want to ask the old man to turn over the Yellow calendar, we must choose a lucky day."
What she didn't say was that even if her family moved things to the new courtyard, Zhang Yulan would find someone to make a living. She would only move things there after picking up a good life.
Turn around and call Wanqing to make a pot of warm tea.
"My sister-in-law and elder brother came just in time. Someone from my husband's family came to see him and brought some Dahongpao. I can't drink this tea. It's just for elder brother to eat."
Lin Qingshan knows that Pu'er tea is his sister's only favorite. It tastes moldy. Anyway, he can't eat it.
Deng Jinchai had no choice but to thank her again. Lin Qingshan said with a smile, "you can go there with ease and sit there. I'll take this basket to the kitchen and give it to Aunt Chen."
Lin Anxin asked curiously, "brother, what's in it?"
The bamboo basket is very big. It's carried by Lin Qingshan.
Lin Qingshan replied with a smile: "it's the wild duck that my father caught from the reeds when he got out of the boat. I know you like it."
After being scolded by Liu Sanniang last time, Lin Shunhe got better. He also saw that Lin Anxin was very attentive to her mother's family. After hearing that she loved to eat wild ducks, he caught some wild ducks in the reeds by the river when she got out of the boat.
"Look, it's alive. Let Aunt Chen be slaughtered and stewed."
Lin Anxin heard the words, winked at him, and whispered: "a few days ago, he went out to play cards and won several pieces of silver. He bought a large jar of good grain wine for uncle. He was worried that he had no excuse to have a bite."
Lin Qingshan laughed and said, "it seems that I can't go home for dinner tonight."
"What's the matter, elder brother? Are you still busy tonight?"
Lin Qingshan took a look at Deng Jinchai, waved his hand with a smile and said, "it's nothing important."
Lin Anxin said to Deng Jinchai, "even if there is no big deal at home, my sister-in-law and little fish will stay for dinner. It happens that my mother said that she will make ginseng stewed chicken soup tonight."
Deng Jinchai originally wanted to refuse, but later she heard that it was such a precious thing. She was so old that she had never eaten it. She only heard that the rich old man's family could afford it.
It's just fine in the evening. After making a pot of good tea, she wants to go to the kitchen and get some sweet osmanthus cakes and glutinous rice cakes made by Aunt Chen. Lin Anxin asks her to tell Aunt Chen that she has left her brother and sister-in-law at home for dinner.
Lin Qingshan said quickly. He also went to the kitchen to help Mrs. Chen kill the ducks.
Lin Anxin invited Deng Jinchai to sit down in the corridor of the west chamber, and took osmanthus cake to feed little fish.
"Come on, let my sister-in-law hug me. My little fish is getting fatter and more solid!"
Little dolls are so fat that they are rare to adults.
"Auntie, hold!" The little fish was so greedy that he began to drool. He stretched out his little hand and asked for a hug. His eyes were fixed on Lin Anxin's sweet scented osmanthus cake.
He knows that this kind of soft cake tastes sweet and delicious.
Lin Anxin took xiaoyu'er in Deng Jinchai's hand and put a small piece of sweet scented osmanthus cake into his mouth.
While talking to Deng Jinchai.
"Sister in law, I haven't been back for some days. How's my mother?"
"Well, my mother is very good. Since her old man's eyes are almost the same, she has been more and more busy. Now it's getting colder and colder. She's afraid of freezing the little fish, so she won't allow me to go fishing with her." Deng Jinchai felt a little bit sorry. If her son was not too young, she could kill two birds with one stone and earn a little more money to make clothes for her son and family.
Deng Jinchai is still very satisfied with today's life. Those little sisters who married well in Shangtang village, who didn't envy her good life, actually suffered first and then sweet. People with good eyes can see that she is a happy life.
It's just
Deng Jinchai frowned at the thought of something unpleasant.
Lin Anxin was so clever that he saw that she was not happy. So he asked, "sister-in-law, what's the matter?"
Deng Jinchai sighed. She pondered over such a thing. She went back to tell her mother that her mother always advised her to bear it. Which man has money, not three wives and four concubines, makes her feel very depressed and reluctant.
Because her mother Lao Tzu didn't help her, no one could understand Deng Jinchai's sufferings. Now, when asked by Lin Anxin, she has a feeling of not speaking up.
"I didn't think much about it. I always thought that our family's life was just getting better. I focused on bringing up our little fish, and then raised my body to add more golden grandchildren to my parents. Unexpectedly, my family was just getting better, so someone came up with the idea to tell your elder brother about the second room.""What?" Lin Anxin thought there was something wrong with his ears and asked again, "sister-in-law, what you just said is true? Don't make me play
Deng Jinchai sighed again and replied, "what can I coax you to do? These days, a woman comes to our door every day to protect your elder brother's media. She says that if the Lin family has a sign of prosperity, it's better to open more branches and scatter more leaves. "
Lin Anxin couldn't help touching his forehead and said, "don't you still live in a thatched hut?"
"Well, those matchmakers are very united and say that they don't dislike each other." Deng Jinchai's face was absolutely not good-looking. In those days, her mother thought that the Lin family was too poor. She always talked about the thatched cottage.
Lin Anxin thought a little, then knew the key, the other party was afraid to pick on Deng Jinchai's painful foot.
"Are those people blind? Why don't they just look for my elder brother instead of other people? It's not on purpose to upset our house!"
"I don't understand those people. When I see those people coming, my heart will burst out." That's why Lin Qingshan called Deng Jinchai to Lin Anxin today.
Lin Anxin gently touched the little fish's cerebellar melon seeds and said, "my elder brother has you in his heart. No, I brought you here to relax."
Deng Jinchai also knew it and sighed: "I don't know what he thought. I'm angry with those matchmakers and those girls who have to marry me to be the head of the family. I'm really ashamed."
This is not her biggest headache: "the most hateful thing is that you don't know what Dad's attitude is. You are so clumsy behind my back that you ask your elder brother to take those women into the house. You also say that the family of Zhou makes a fortune by marrying a daughter. His family can make a fortune by asking for more daughters-in-law."
Er, Lin Anxin thinks that this cheap dad's brain circuit is too wonderful.
"How could he think that?"
Deng Jinchai replied angrily, "I guess someone has said something to him. My mother told me quietly that she has inquired about it. The family of those girls is not too poor. If they get married, they can still afford to be married with one or two money."
"I don't know where the confidence of these girls came from. They took my elder brother seriously." Lin Anxin feels strange. Why don't those people stare at Deng Jingu?
She is very happy that those people will add more obstacles to Zhou youzhao.
Deng Jinchai looked at her, did not speak, and continued to sigh.
Lin An's heart is wonderful to understand. It means that Lin Qingshan has a Golden Phoenix girl who flies on the branch. Can she not follow her?
Besides, the Su family, it's the number one bully in this country. Who dares to provoke the Su family?
On this basis, those people are more willing to catch up with her boss than with her third brother Deng Jingu.
Lin Anxin didn't know how to persuade her for a moment, so she had to comfort her dryly: "I live my life by myself. It doesn't matter what my father means. It depends on my elder brother's attitude."
Hearing this, Deng Jinchai looked better and said, "your elder brother doesn't want to. It's just that your father is very stubborn. For this, your elder brother had a fight with your father before he went out today."
Lin Anxin doesn't know what to say. How useless Lin Shunhe is!
"I'm on your side about this. By the way, what about my mother
Mentioning Liu Sanniang, Deng Jinchai's smile was more real: "Niang said it was too disturbing, and dad was not allowed to be involved in it, but Dad..."
She frowned tightly. No matter what, Lin Shunhe was Lin Qingshan's father. At the end of the story, I'm afraid the result was not what she wanted to see.
"My father? It's not him asking for the second room. What is he doing Lin Anxin feels more and more that Lin Shunhe is full of troubles.
Deng Jinchai shook her head and said: "originally, dad was not so obvious, but another thing happened in the middle. Since then, Dad's attitude has obviously changed a lot."
"What's the matter?" Lin Anxin felt uneasy.
Looking at the courtyard with a sad face, Deng Jinchai said in a low voice, "it's also related to my family's recruitment of cousins."
"Why are you talking about her again?" Lin Anxin didn't hide his disgust for Zhou youzhao at all.
Deng Jinchai said with a bitter smile: "sure enough, your elder brother is right. You really hate my cousin. In the past, because I got married early, I didn't have much friendship with her. Just because I was my mother's relative, I got closer. I've always been ashamed of you."
It turns out that since Zhou youzhao and Deng Jingu got engaged, Zhou often went to the Lin family to find Deng Jinchai on the grounds of his sister-in-law status.
Every time she comes, she always brings a small bag of sugar to xiaoyu'er's sweet mouth. Deng Jinchai feels close because she is the daughter of Ji Chunhua's cousin.
Even if she knows that Lin Anxin and she don't deal with each other, she is willing to break off the contact with Zhou youzhao. She also takes care of Lin Anxin and tries to keep them away from meeting.
"Sister-in-law, one thing belongs to one thing. We have already done what we don't want. It's our business to get close to my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law and she can't be separated. You can't embarrass my sister-in-law because of me."
