Chapter 29

Lin's mother came to see her daughter in a cloth dress and nodded silently in her heart. She said to leisurely, "now that we've packed up, let's go. Don't be too late." Then he looked at the dressing box leisurely placed on the table. "There are many children coming today. Put those away. Don't be damaged. I'll get something. When you're ready, wait for me at the door. "

Lin Youran also forgot to ask the eldest aunt who was in the family, so he found a few handkerchiefs and a few pocketbooks to wear on her. He also found out the two eight treasure boxes and a few packets of snow candy that the catkins had stuffed into her when she was going out yesterday.

Take these to the hall, just as Lin's mother takes out a few packages of snacks from the inner room. When she sees her daughter taking these things, she asks, "what's this?"

Leisurely said with a smile, "I forgot that I came back late yesterday. This is a snack I brought back from Shen Fu. There are many in it. I want to give a box to my uncle's family, and I'll take it out later to entertain them, OK With that, he opened the box and showed Lin Mu the snacks inside. There were eight small boxes with different snacks, all of which were exquisite.

Lin's mother looked at the box with golden hook and Begonia pattern and said, "it's just a pity. This box is too expensive to give away." Then he went into the room, found a bamboo eight treasure box and put all the snacks in it. Then mother Lin said to leisurely, "it's not that I'm stingy, but the box seems to be worth at least ten liang of silver. Let's walk around among our closest relatives and pay attention to the benefits and friendliness. If the gift is too thick at first, people don't know how to return it. They think it's not appropriate for us to separate from them. "

With that, he took scissors to cut off a few strings of fresh grapes from the grape trellis at the door and put them in a bamboo basket. Then he locked the door and walked out with ease.

Leisurely see the Lin mother's action, the heart is thoughtful. Sure enough, after spending a long time in Hou's residence, I always unconsciously brought out the extravagant energy. I should pay more attention in the future.

Lin's house is in the southernmost part of the village, and it was dark when their brother and sister came back yesterday. Otherwise, the car full of things will attract people's attention. Out of the gate, we went east for more than ten meters, then north for about twenty meters, and then we arrived at the Lin family's uncle's house.

Leisurely, the courtyard of uncle's house is much bigger than theirs, and there is a inverted room and shadow wall at the door.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Lin Du called out, "is sister-in-law at home?" As soon as the words came out of the main room, a woman in her forties and a young woman in her twenties appeared to be her daughter-in-law.

As soon as the woman saw them, she quickly came up with her daughter-in-law, took leisurely's hand and said to Mrs. Lin, "this is leisurely's girl. God, I've come back. It's not in vain that your mother has been looking forward to it for so many years. "

Lin Mu said on the side, "leisurely, this is your great aunt. I'll see you soon." So, leisurely hurriedly gave a gift. Lin's mother pointed to the young woman next to her and said, "this is your sister-in-law."

After leisurely saluting, the elder uncle and mother took them to the hall. Her elder uncle was sitting there waiting for her to meet her, and there were two little nephews there. Two cousins, one studying in the Academy, the other working in the shop outside, failed to come back. Another cousin went to visit her aunt's family and said that she would come with her aunt's family today.

Seeing leisurely and safe back, the whole family showed great enthusiasm and did not despise her because she had been a servant girl. At least, on the surface.

Aunt and sister-in-law both gave her a purse and busily took out snacks and fruits to entertain her niece, whom she had not seen for many years. Seeing the dim sum Lin Youran brought back, I couldn't help praising the delicacy and elegance. Hearing that the new clothes on Lin's mother were made leisurely, people couldn't help boasting. When the whole family talked and laughed, the eldest aunt naturally asked her something about hou Fu. She thought leisurely and chose what she could say.

After about half an hour, Mrs. Lin got up and took a leisurely leave. "Next time, I'll bring her to play. Later, her aunt and uncle's family will come. I'll take her back to prepare. At noon, my elder brother and sister-in-law and my nephew and daughter-in-law should go to dinner together. " Uncle and mother nodded, "OK, you go back first, we'll go later. Knowing that your niece is back today, your elder brother gets up early in the morning and slaughters two ducks. I'll cook some duck soup and fry some meat pancakes later. "

The two families were close relatives, and Lin's mother did not refuse. She said with a smile, "my sister-in-law's old duck soup is excellent. I have a good appetite at noon."

Then he took leisurely home, and the snack box was left behind. But the grape basket was filled with some plums and peaches and returned.

Seeing the return gift from my uncle's family, I felt carefree and thoughtful.

On the way back, I met some people in the village. Mother Lin introduced them to you one by one. Although most people's faces are full of curiosity, they all smile and greet leisurely.

When there was no outsider, Mrs. Lin said, "after a while, your uncle's family will come. I haven't seen you for so many years. You may have forgotten. Let me tell you something. Your eldest uncle and second uncle separated after your grandparents died a few years ago. Your uncle's cousin is 23 years old. He was admitted as a scholar the year before last. Now he works as an enlightenment teacher in a rich family in a neighboring county. He has already married and had children. Today, it is estimated that your cousin will come with a couple of twins over three years old. Your second cousin is 17 years old, and now he is also studying in the Academy. This year, he was admitted to the school together with your brother. I should be studying in the academy now. I guess I can't come today. Your cousin is 20 years old and married your second son of Uncle Dexing's family in our village. She may come here today. Your second uncle's son and daughter are both younger than you. Your daughter is one year younger than you. Your son is only ten years old this year. You all played together when you were young. Do you have any impression? "

Seeing her daughter nodding, Lin's mother also put a little snack, and then talked about the situation of Lin's aunt. Because Aunt Lin was the granddaughter of the whole family when she was unmarried, she could not read, and the girl was also very good. She married the son of the changs in liujiahe. He gave birth to three big fat boys in succession. He always wanted a girl, but he didn't get it. So he loved his niece very much and often took her to play.

When she got home, Lin's mother cut half of the streaky pork she had bought in the morning and stewed it in a pot. Then she told you to watch the fire and went to the backyard to pick vegetables.

The fire is filled with large pieces of fire-resistant firewood. As long as it can't be put out, it's OK. Leisurely washed the fruit that big aunt gave, found two plates to fill up. When she saw that the plum was crystal clear, she picked up one and ate it. I didn't expect that it was very delicious, with a special sweet taste. Although she had eaten a lot in Hou's house, she could hardly eat such fresh fruits.

After cleaning up the main room and looking at the fire, leisurely felt a little bored, so he went back to his room and found a half embroidered handkerchief to sit on the chair at the door and embroider it.

Because it's just a handkerchief, leisurely doesn't embroider too big a pattern on it. Also just embroidered a few lotus leaves and two lotus flowers in the corner.

Leisurely while embroidering flowers, while looking at the whole yard. It was dark when I came yesterday. I didn't see a lot of things clearly. Now we can have a good look.

The gate of this house is opened in the southeast corner of the whole courtyard. When you enter the gate, there is a screen wall, and then you enter the main courtyard through a vertical flower gate. There is a bunch of green bamboo planted in front of the Chuihua gate, which is green and elegant. There are two pomegranate trees and a grape tree in the courtyard, and there seems to be a jujube tree in the backyard. In addition, some peonies and peonies were planted. The whole courtyard and house are made of good green bricks and black tiles. Although it has been some years, the whole courtyard looks elegant.

A half open Lotus has not finished embroidering, I heard a cry from the door, and then a half big boy came running in, "aunt, I'm coming."
