Chapter 5 A visitor from the Zhao family

Zhao Yunlan wakes up and sleeps. From time to time, he feels someone entering the room, tucking in the quilt, bringing hot water, and adding small firewood to the brazier.

Li Mingmei was busy inside and outside, watching two people coming on the road far away. After a closer look, they seemed to be Zhao Yunlan's mother and eldest brother.

He hurriedly ran into the house and called Zhao Yunlan. Zhao Yunlan was sleeping soundly. He hadn't figured out how to face Li Mingren yet. Now he had to face his original mother and eldest brother first.

Li Mingmei trotted out to pick up people again, "Auntie, Brother Zhao, you are here."

Zhao Jiangshi (Jiangshi below) was worried: "How is Lan'er doing now? I heard they said that Lan'er knocked her head and was unconscious."

"Aunt, sister-in-law, her condition has been much better in the past two days. Let's go in and take a look first." Li Mingmei took Jiang into the house and called to Boss Zhao to go to the main room to take a rest and drink some water.

As soon as Ms. Jiang entered the door and saw her daughter lying on the bed, her eyes suddenly became hot and she started sobbing, "Lan'er, why is this head knocked like this?"

Zhao Yunlan didn't know what to do for a while, so she could only let Mrs. Jiang hold her and cry, but she still hadn't recovered yet. Mrs. Jiang kept shaking while holding her while crying, which made Zhao Yunlan feel dizzy again. Zhao Yunlan shouted

"Mom, stop crying, I'm dizzy," Mrs. Jiang immediately let go, feeling even more uncomfortable.

Here, Li Mingmei brought water to Ms. Jiang, and Ms. Wang also came over and greeted Ms. Jiang, "My dear, I'm useless. I'm not in good health and you're tired of running around. My old Li family didn't take good care of Lan Niang."

ah."

Mrs. Jiang was a little resentful at first, but after hearing Mrs. Wang say this, she could only say, "My daughter always comes to see you. I also know what kind of person you are, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten married like this in the first place. It's just that

Although it is important for my uncle to study, he should be looked after and taken care of at home."

Wang knew she was wrong, "Hey, what my mother-in-law said is that today the second child went to town to call the eldest son, and when the eldest son comes back, he will be sent by his mother-in-law. My mother-in-law is here to talk to Lan Niang, and we will stay here to have a meal together in the evening."

Zhao Yunlan recalled the Zhao family during the conversation between Jiang and Wang. The original Zhao Yunlan's parents were still alive. There was an eldest brother who came with him and a younger brother. There were only three siblings.

Although the Zhao family lives a tight life, they are very kind to their daughter on weekdays. When Zhao Yunlan was still at home, he rarely did any work in the fields. He only helped with some housework at home. Otherwise, Zhao Yunlan could

He was raised fat and strong on the farm.

Zhao Yunlan and Jiang had a good relationship. After getting married, Jiang asked Boss Zhao to bring some rice, noodles and meat to Zhao Yunlan from time to time, for fear that Zhao Yunlan would not be happy with her life in her husband's family.

After Zhao Yunlan finished recalling, Wang also left the room to let the mother and daughter chat alone for a while. Wang called Li Mingmei, "Go to the field and call your father and them to come back. The boss of the Zhao family is here, come back and stay with us."

"

In the room, Zhao Yunlan looked at Mr. Jiang, feeling a little panicked, fearing that her unnaturalness would be discovered.

Ms. Jiang was feeling sad at the moment and said: "My mother didn't agree to your marriage at the beginning. Look, now you are injured and there is no one around you. If your aunt hadn't gone back to her parents' house and passed by our house and told us, we would have

I don’t know yet, but it’s my parents who are useless. If the conditions at home weren’t so bad at the time, which delayed your chance to get married, you wouldn’t have gotten married here.”

Zhao Dahua's natal family was also in Zhaojiagou. When Mrs. Jiang married in Zhaojiagou, Zhao Dahua was still talking about getting married. In addition, the two families lived close to each other, so they could often chat together. As time went by, the relationship between the two became better and better.

"Mom, I'm fine. I've gotten better in the past two days. My little sister at home has taken good care of me." After hearing what Jiang said, Zhao Yunlan didn't realize that she could blurt out and call her mother.

Mrs. Jiang: "Can my sister-in-law compare with my husband? He didn't come back when I gave birth to the child. I said from the beginning that a scholar wouldn't feel sorry for others. You and your father, hey~, there's nothing I can do about it now."

.”

Zhao Yunlan thought: She and her father had indeed agreed at the beginning. Her father wanted to be a good scholar and his daughter would not have to follow him to the fields if she became successful in the future. Zhao Yunlan was confused by Li Mingren's appearance and agreed after seeing each other. Jiang

Unable to defeat the father and daughter, Mrs. Zhao had no choice but to give up, so after marriage, Ms. Zhao often provided supplements to her daughter. Simply speaking, the Zhao family was in harmony and did not care about Mother Zhao's support for her daughter.

Zhao Yunlan looked at Mrs. Jiang again, and a long-lost feeling spread in her heart. She said, "Mom, please stay with me tonight. We mother and daughter can talk and let the eldest brother go back first." Zhao Yunlan reacted and said,

She said these words so naturally, and her expression suddenly became awkward. Seeing Zhao Yunlan's expression, Mrs. Jiang thought she was feeling uncomfortable again, "Lan'er, my head feels dizzy again. If it doesn't work, let's go to the town and take a look. Mother will take care of her."

Come here with the money."

Zhao Yunlan said, "Mom, I'm fine. I'm really fine. I don't need to go to town for the time being." She thought to herself: I don't want to go to town in case I meet Li Mingren along the way. Besides, the road is uneven and bumpy, which makes it even more uncomfortable.

Mrs. Jiang saw that Zhao Yunlan's expression returned to normal before she put her worry into her heart and said, "I won't stay. Your mother-in-law said that my uncle will come back in the afternoon, so I will go back later. I'll rest assured if you are okay."

After saying that, he took a package and opened it. Zhao Yunlan was thinking that I was still praying that the cheap gentleman would not come back! Then he saw that there were about ten eggs in the package, a piece of wrapped wild boar meat and thirty coins. Zhao Yunlan

Lan's heart swelled. The peasant families in this area really didn't have many good conditions. In this era, there were really not many mothers from poor peasant families who could marry off their daughters like this.

Jiang said: "Your father and eldest brother went to the mountains with the villagers to catch this piece of wild boar meat yesterday. Everyone who participated got a piece of it. I left half of it for you to bring over. These thirty coins were picked by me before.

Ye Shanjun sold the private house he saved. You can take it and see if you need anything. Mom is far away and can't take care of you." After saying that, he started crying again. At this time, Zhao Yunlan also had a sore nose, which he hadn't seen for a long time.

Mother's love was about to burst out of her at this moment, but she still held back tears.

"Mom, please take this money back. I don't need it. I still have the money I gave you last time. Mom, don't take any more money. My injury is nothing." Zhao Yunlan had about ten dollars under his bed.

If Mrs. Jiang hadn't come up with the money, she wouldn't have remembered it.

Mrs. Jiang felt sorry for her daughter, so she stuffed the money under her bed. It turned out to be mother and daughter. After stuffing the money, she heard the voice of brother Zhao Yunlan outside: "Mom, it's getting late. Second sister, brother will come see you later."

.”

"Brother, I can't move around too much, and I can't even see you. When I recover, I will go home to see dad and you." Zhao Yunlan

Mrs. Jiang: "Okay, I'll go back first. It will get dark and I won't be able to see the road."

It takes three hours to walk from Zhaojiagou to Lijiacun. Zhao Yunlan is a little reluctant to leave. It is obviously the first time he has been in contact with Jiang, but he can feel the sincere feelings. "Mom, I will come back to see you when I get better."

Mrs. Wang came over and said, "My mother-in-law, please leave after dinner! We will prepare the meal early."

Ms. Jiang said, "No, I'll come back next time. I'm still busy at home, so I'll leave first." Ms. Jiang left with her eldest son.

Zhao Yunlan called Li Mingmei to cook the pork. Spring had just begun and the weather was cold. Although the meat did not go bad quickly, it would not be good if it was kept for a long time. The family had not eaten meat for a long time and needed to replenish the body, so they simply cooked it.

He ate it and gave the eggs to Wang. Wang took the eggs and put them in the warehouse. The Li family had a room for storing grain.

Zhao Yunlan was left in the room thinking alone: ​​If I really can't go back, how will I get along with these people and how will I survive in this era.

Yes, Zhao Yunlan understood that it was not that easy to go back, and it was even possible that she couldn't do it. She never thought about whether her parents would miss her if she didn't go back to modern times. What she thought about was how to face the original person if she stayed here.

relatives.

True family affection will not disappoint people. The short time spent with Ms. Jiang really touched her. Even Li Mingmei's care these days, she also took it into her heart.
