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

I have to eat dumplings all day long on the first day of the new year.

Even if the dumplings stuffed with pork are not delicious, no one will dislike them.

It's just that Ah's milk tea and rice are always good, and her cousin Mei Xiang's cooking skills are outstanding, so she has delicious dumplings to eat, which the two of them can only dream of.

But Liu Yan was worried about Zhao Tianyu at home. When they returned, they didn't know if Xu Hong had returned. Every year, Liu Maolin went to the lonely old man's house in the village to talk with him and repair the stove and other things.

People will not come back until noon.

After Liu Yan said goodbye and left, Nian and Liu Meixiang arranged for lunch.

Liu Fan and others carried firewood, made a fire, and talked about the interesting things they encountered during New Year's greetings today.

It is inevitable to talk about Huang Ying.

Nian waited for them to finish and then said: "I heard from Aunt Lin that Brother Ying's family is very poor and my brother is sick. When he was still at home, the whole family was supported by him and his sister-in-law. There were also several nieces and nephews. , had a very hard time!”

"He didn't take a penny from the betrothal gift. He only said he would keep it for his family's expenses and to keep it for emergencies!"

"The wealthy family next to him will not choose him, and even if they choose him, they will not easily allow him to support his parents' family. Although Tian Fugui's family is dirty, the family is lazy. As long as Huang Ying can support it, they can live for three to five years. He doesn’t have the final say in the family.”

"His natal family has many mouths to eat and few people to work. When the farm is busy, she might have to go back to her natal family to help, who is responsible for serving the bowls and serving others. Shui Sanmei didn't like him at first, but if he doesn't win over Chang Xi's heart, There is no place for him to stand at home!"

After Nian finished speaking, he sighed a little. Such a good brother was born in such a humble family, and he had to plan carefully when talking about marriage.

But instead of planning for the best, it is a pity to end up in the home of such a person.

"As the old saying goes, brothers and girls are all destined to grow like rapeseeds. If they fall on fertile land, they will grow taller in the wind; if they fall on barren land, they will become thin and yellow. These are all fates!"

Nian sighed and glanced at her eldest granddaughter with peaceful features, feeling another pain in her heart.

………………

On the morning of the second day of the second lunar month, I went to my uncle and grandma's house. Although Liu Laoer died, Liu Yu took over his place.

When the sky turns bright, Liu Yu wakes up Changsheng.

Nian's only brother has passed away, but his sister-in-law is still alive. As Liu Maolin and Liu Maoye are nephews, they have to bring gifts to visit them in the second year of junior high school.

The Nian family had been rich for decades earlier, but the family members failed to live up to their expectations, which also brought down the old man of the Nian family who split up and lived another life.

Nowadays, Nian's family has long retreated from the town to their old house in the countryside. They saved some money later and renovated the old house. Now they can barely be considered a well-off family.

Only two families have passed away because of their elders, and each family has to work on the fields and crops, so they only come and go during the holidays.

When Mr. Liu Fusheng and his uncle Nian pass away, this family relationship will gradually end.

Qiuping Village, where Nian's parents' family is located, is about seven or eight miles away from their village. In the morning, before the frost melted, a few people pushed a cart and walked fairly quickly.

Finally, we arrived at Qiuping before it thawed.

As Liu Yu and the others left, they didn't feel cold at all, and the soles of their feet were warm.

The cart stopped outside Qiuping, and Liu Yu helped Changsheng off the cart.

This journey was not bad for people with good feet and legs, but it was unclear how the long-lasting leg injury would recover. Liu Yu did not dare to take risks, fearing that the tired legs would leave hidden diseases and suffer from cloudy and rainy days in the future.

Insist on letting Changsheng ride on the cart.

Several people entered the courtyard gate with gifts, exchanged warm greetings with each other, and then were invited into the main room.

The kitchen was in full swing, and most of the food was already prepared.

The younger generation of the Nian family brought hot water, washed their hands, and placed cups and chopsticks on the dinner table.

Hot dishes and hot soup were served one after another.

Brother Liu Maolin and his two cousins ​​were drinking and having a fistfight at their house. Liu Fan and the others refused the wine and just ate hot meals in silence!

Liu Yu glanced at her uncle who was blushing after drinking, and was a little speechless. She didn't understand what was so good about the bitter and spicy water, and it made her feel uncomfortable after drinking it.

He tapped the arm of Liu Shan who was sitting next to him and asked him to persuade him. Why did he feel that his uncle was drinking to drown his sorrows? Don't get drunk all of a sudden and act like a drunk at a relative's house. It would be embarrassing!

His uncle was not a very good drinker. When he was in a bad mood, he would cry and make noises when he was drunk. He felt that no one understood his hard work and that everyone in the family disliked him.

Liu Yan also knew what his cousin meant, so he tried to persuade him despite the pressure of being scolded on the spot.

"We have such an important relative. It doesn't matter if your father is drunk. He can stay at home all night, or we can send him back later."

Before Liu Yan could finish his words, he was blocked by two cousins ​​from the Liu family.

Liu Yu glanced at the two cousins ​​who were laughing loudly, and decided to go back and file a complaint against Nianshi. When they came to visit relatives in two days, Nianshi would give them a good lesson.

Fortunately, the two of them were pretty good at it. When they were five or six minutes old, they stopped drinking and started ordering hot steamed buns and hot rice porridge.

After finishing the meal, they left. The Liu Maolin brothers chatted with their old cousins ​​about farm work with their red faces.

Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Tao were cousins-in-law, but they were difficult to talk to. They only winked at Nian Zhong and Nien Jin frequently.

Liu Yu was sharp-eyed, afraid that something would happen to these two people, and he didn't want to know what these people were planning to do, so he stood up regardless of the rudeness, pulled the Nian family's banner, and urged Liu Maolin and others to go.

"Is there any urgent matter this New Year? I finally came to your aunt's house, but I can't just leave. I just have something to do. Isn't your eldest sister still at home? She is the most mature and stable person. It will be done properly!”

Xue, the young and loyal daughter-in-law, raised her eyebrows, pressed Liu Yu's hand, and started talking with her thin lips.

When Liu Yu heard this, her face darkened, and when she saw Mrs. Xue's words of praise when she mentioned Liu Meixiang, she tried her best to hide the contempt in her eyes, and her heart became cold.

He brushed Xue's hand away and said calmly: "As for my cousin, my eldest sister is a spoiled guest and has her own things to do, so why bother her!"

It has been less than ten days since the eldest sister returned home from Heli. Her family did not inform her relatives and friends about this matter. This woman heard the news from someone who knows where. She actually ignored the feelings of relatives and looked at the excitement instead.

"You are right, your eldest sister is indeed considered a spoiled guest now."

Mr. Xue casually agreed with Liu Yu, then walked to Nian Zhong, pulled up a chair and sat down, and frowned.

He looked at Liu Maolin with worried eyes, and sighed heavily: "It's such a big matter for Mei Xiang and Li, why didn't you send me a message? We can come together and beat up the old woman from the Wu family."

"It's not a glorious thing, and everyone knows about it. There aren't enough people to joke behind your back!"

Liu Maolin was a little annoyed and hummed.

"Yes, Wu Ping and his widow had an illegitimate child. It's such a shameful thing, and I feel unlucky just to mention it!"

Liu Yu was furious, and before Xue could answer, she glanced at Liu Maolin, who couldn't even lift his head, and took over.
