Liu Yuemin curled her lips angrily: "I also care about my third younger brother and sister out of kindness."
"You have the time to worry about the men and children in your own house first. Look at the shoes of the three of them and you will almost open your mouth. Don't always wait for me to give you the soles to make shoes, right?"
Liu Yuemin felt a little aggrieved: "It's not like Mom doesn't know whether I can do needlework or not."
"No, why don't you hurry up and learn while you have nothing to do now? What do you want?"
Now Liu Yuemin was completely speechless.
When Li Xiulan saw that she was silent, she looked at Chen Lishu: "Is it cold outside? Come on and get warm on the kang."
Chen Lishu smiled at her, sat down by the kang, reached for the soles of the shoes next to her, and silently helped put them away.
The room was a little quiet for a while, and I could only hear the sound of the mother-in-law pulling the string.
Li Xiulan: "It seems that the Chinese New Year is coming in a few days. Tomorrow the team will take everyone to the town to buy New Year's goods. We also need to buy some things at home. Who do you think is going?"
"It's too cold. I won't go unless I resist the cold." Liu Yuemin smiled and was the first to refuse.
I turned over the same few things I used every year. It’s cold and I have to get up early, so it’s better to stay at home comfortably.
No one else said a word.
"How about I go? I just happened to have saved up some cloth tickets. The three children are growing up fast and they have to wear clothes one after another." At this time, Zhang Qin, as the eldest daughter-in-law of the family, took the initiative to take over the errands.
Although the Gu family lives together as a large family, Li Xiulan and Gu Shoufu are not people who treat their children harshly. In addition to necessary expenses, each house has its own small treasury.
"Sister-in-law, let me go with you." Chen Lishu raised her head and smiled at her.
Zhang Qin was very kind to her, but he couldn't let her go alone.
Zhang Qin naturally knew her good intentions and said with a smile: "Then I will call the third younger brother and sister early tomorrow morning."
That's how it was settled.
Before dawn the next day, Chen Lishu was still asleep when someone knocked on the door gently: "Third brother and sister, are you awake?"
Zhang Qin stood at the door and asked softly.
"Sister-in-law, I'm awake. I'm coming over right now." Chen Lishu hurriedly stood up and put on her clothes. She quickly opened the door.
"It's cold on the road, so I brought a small quilt to cover it in our car later."
When Chen Lishu heard what she said, her eyes fell on the basket in Zhang Qin's hand. She saw a small floral quilt with a blue background inside. She smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you are still thoughtful."
The two of them walked out while talking. As soon as they opened the door, a gust of cold wind mixed with snow particles came in. Chen Lishu subconsciously tightened the scarf wrapped around her head.
The carriage stopped at the entrance of the village, with four or five people already sitting in the carriage. Seeing Chen Lishu and her sister-in-law approaching, they all stepped aside and gave way.
"It's really snowing this year." The two found some space to sit down, and an aunt couldn't help complaining.
"We still don't know what the coming year will be like. The snow is so heavy that farming will probably be pushed back." Another echoed.
"How is your family doing in Xingdong? If you don't come back for such a big thing as getting married, you won't really die outside, right?"
Chen Lishu was listening to other people talking when she was suddenly bumped by someone's elbow. She looked sideways and saw that it was Widow Liu who was next door to their house and she didn't know when she came to her side.
Chen Lishu frowned unconsciously when she heard what she said. Zhang Qin on the side gave her a hand without leaving a trace, leaned closer and whispered: "She is very difficult to deal with. Don't pay attention to her."
Seeing that she had successfully attracted everyone's attention, Widow Liu became even more enthusiastic, and her voice was a little higher than before: "I would say you are quite stupid. You married even though you knew you were a widow. I really don't know what you are doing."
"Then what do you want from Uncle Liu? Do you think he beats you after drinking every day?" Chen Lishu replied rudely.
I didn't talk to him, thinking that she would stop when she realized she was boring, but who knew that she would get angry with her.
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard her words.
Everyone knows that Liu Baisui was a drunkard when he was alive, and was famous for beating his wife. Widow Liu only lived a good life for a few days after her death.
Widow Liu felt shameless, but she didn't give up. She snorted: "Don't worry about it, I have two sons by my side. How many years can you keep Xingdong here with you like this?"
"Aunt Liu, if you have time to worry about other people's families, you might as well take care of those two children." After Chen Lishu finished speaking, she turned to look at Zhang Qin and said deliberately without suppressing her voice: "If I had two sons like that, I would definitely strangle them to death. If I don't give them,
It causes chaos on the team and in society."
Widow Liu couldn't choose a man, and she couldn't teach her children either. The two children were seventeen or eighteen, and they had nothing to do. One day they did some dirty things, such as sneaking around the wall and watching women go to the toilet.
"You!" Widow Liu pointed at her without saying the second word for a long time.
I used to think that the Chen family were all soft-tempered and easy to bully, but now I was bored and just looking for fun. Who knew that I had misjudged him, and he turned out to be a sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued person.
"That's a son too. It's better than your mother giving birth to a 'seven fairies'."
Everyone just talks about this in private, but no one exposes the scars in front of others.
"Aunt Liu, what you said is too much. All the propaganda people from above have said that it is the same for boys and girls. Are you going to contradict your boss with what you are saying now?"
Although Zhang Qin is usually soft-tempered and easy to talk to, she almost never gets in trouble with the villagers. But now that she and Chen Lishu are family members, they naturally don't want others to talk about her family.
"Yes, what about sons and daughters? These girls in the Chen family are all very good-looking. If I could dream of having a daughter like this, I would laugh so hard. It's a pity that my family and I both have shoehorned faces, but
I can’t give birth to someone else’s melon-seed face.”
Chen Lishu looked sideways and saw that the speaker was from Li Maocai's house in the front yard. She was a relative of her mother-in-law Li Xiulan. She immediately smiled gratefully at her.
The title "Seven Fairies" was also used in the past life. Every time I heard her before, I felt harsh. I thought they were laughing at my family. Now when I heard it, I didn't feel much. I thought it was just a compliment on my good looks.
After such a fuss, four or five women came over soon. Seeing that the sky was already turning white, they sat on the carriage and shook the whip. With the sound of the whip, the carriage began to move.
.
It took nearly two hours to walk and an hour to get there by carriage.
"I'm still waiting at the same place. The train leaves at 3:30. Don't be late, everyone." It gets dark quickly in winter, and it's difficult to walk on the road after dark. So I said something on the handlebar and drove the carriage away.
Chen Lishu and Zhang Qin thought for a while and decided to buy the things Li Xiulan told them first, and then look at what they wanted to buy.
First I went to the grocery store to buy meat and other necessary seasonings, and then I went to the department store.
The department store in the town has two floors. The first floor is the lobby. Once you enter, there are counters and shelves all around the wall.
