The Landlord And His Wife - Chapter 108

    So on the third day, Liu Changshi drove a donkey cart with He Ruyu and He into the city again.

    When people in the village met for three days in a row, they laughed at their family and ran into the city. Why don’t they just live in the city! How could he know that this joke has come true.

    Actually, Liu Changshi and He Ruyu are both careful people. They didn’t get pregnant for more than half a year, and they went to the city to see the doctor. The doctor said there was no big problem, but the woman was a little weak. , This is also a common problem for rural people. In other words, it is malnutrition.

    The two of them sounded that the problem was not a big deal, so when they came back, Liu Changshi was very distressed about He Ruyu. After becoming a pro, she didn’t ask her to do any heavy work at all, and there were no pigs or chickens at home. Raising, only raising a donkey, He Ruyu usually does the laundry at home, and then does embroidery work. Now that the doctor talks about recuperation, Liu Changshi has improved the level of his meals a lot. He Ruyu has been recuperating for a year, and his body has become more rounded.

    Now that she is pregnant, Liu Changshi is even more incredible. She asks the doctor how to take care of the pregnant woman. He and He Ruyu have both come out to take the car for a long time, and he is still dawdling in the medicine hall.

    Liu Changshi’s silly joy.

    Liu Gao and the old man Liu knew about it, and they were naturally very happy. The old couple sat on the kang and talked happily for a long time. Sighed.

    Speaking of which, the biggest concern of the old couple is Liu Changqi’s side. After Liu Xian’er retired from the marriage there, I don’t know what happened. It’s nineteen years old now! But before the marriage was settled, Liu Gao’s mouth filled with urgency when he remembered it.

    Liu Changqi is also troublesome, a person who is only thirty-six or seven years old can’t be a bachelor for the rest of his life! But divorce is not a good reputation, and his family is now enough to eat. It is really hard for him to find someone at his age. He can only find the widow whose husband has died, but there are more widows! Need to hear more clearly.

    In any case, Liu Gao’s family has been cold-eyed to Liu Changqi since last year, and until now he has not seen a suitable one. I didn’t want to publicize it everywhere, but it doesn’t seem to work like this, and it has to be touched by a few people.

    During the Chinese New Year, the whole family had a reunion dinner together. In the kitchen, Mrs. Liu Gao whispered to Mrs. He and asked her to help him to take a look. Well, as long as the family is innocent, it doesn’t matter if you are poor or ugly. As for Liu Changqi, too, as long as there is no problem with his character, he doesn’t care about anything else.

    He agreed.

    On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Chinese New Year. In the past, I didn’t pay much attention to it, I just had a reunion dinner together. Now that the lives of each family are better, the old man Liu Gao’s side has also given more. Liu Gao’s family is very happy. Food and wine, everyone celebrates the Yuan Festival together, and it also means seeing off Liu Changgeng’s family.

    Although only moved to the city.

    I came here at noon, and just after the wine and dishes were ready and put on the table, someone called the door outside the courtyard, and Liu Xuer was watching Liu Sen learn to make lanterns. Light lanterns in the yard and have a lantern party!

    I heard the call and the door opened, Liu Xuer was still stunned, there was an unexpected person outside, the third uncle Liu Changgui.

    Liu Changgui has never been here for the New Years over the years. They all say that he lived there in Shandong. He usually only comes back two or three times. Like a wolf.

    The Jia family didn’t come back even once, and held a grudge.

    The old man Liu and Liu Gao have also discussed countless times in private, should they go to the city to find the third child to clarify? What is that? Are you going to support your parents? Do you want to make it clear what you are busy with, whether it will be like this from now on, or is there another way to say it? !

    But the old couple discussed it for a long time, and they felt that they were forced to ask, and there would be trouble. This is for sure. Going to the government, if it is concluded that the third and the third are unfilial, and they cannot be beaten and sentenced to exile, Jia can’t run away, and the third can’t run away either.

    It’s useless! Just like when they came back to sell the land, they were scrambling around, what should the couple do or what! Liu Gao also said that making big troubles and small things hurts feelings, making the third child hate them even more, and the rest is of no benefit. There is absolutely no way that the old couple will change their ways because of their troubles.

    The old couple can only sigh when they think about it. Now they don’t worry about food and clothing, they don’t want to mess with the third child, and they don’t have a good mood. It was noisy, so the old couple became free to Liu Changgui. He was willing to come back, so he came back to talk and sit down, and he didn’t want to come back and pull him down.

    So seeing Liu Changgui appearing at the door, not to mention Liu Xuer’s accident, the old couple was also very surprised, no one thought of it.

    Liu Changgeng and his party had already reached the door of the house. Everyone inside and outside the house was watching them, and it was very quiet for a while.

    Liu Xuer saw that Liu Changgui was wearing a long cotton robe with grey-green satin and floral dark patterns, and a wide-fingered cyan silk thread and green double-ring four-in-one ruyi sash was tied around the waist. . And behind him, it was not Jia, but a faceless woman who looked younger than Jia, wearing a pink cloud brocade button-down jacket, with a satin hood and cloak on her head. A red gold phoenix hairpin inlaid with beads and a pair of red gold pendant earrings on the ears swaying endlessly. He was holding a little boy who was more than a year old in his arms.

    And behind them was a woman in her forties, wearing a pair of padded jackets, leading a little girl of three or four years old.

    Old man Liu was the first to react and called out, “The third one is here… Come in… Why didn’t you go out this year?”

    Liu Changgui brought the woman in the peach padded jacket and the two children into the house, Liu Xuer saw the door outside, Liu Changgui brought the young woman and the two children to the house again Kowtow to old man Liu and Liu Gao.

    He and He Ruyu came out of the kitchen, He asked in a low voice, “Your third uncle and third aunt are back?”

    Liu Xuer nodded and shook her head: “The third uncle is back, the third aunt didn’t come back… another woman with him.” Embarrassed, he looked up at Mrs He: “Today’s Shangyuan Festival will be over again. Oh no.”

    He snorted and shook his head: “It’s none of our business, you… don’t listen to it, just play with your brother and brother outside.”

    Liu Xuer nodded and agreed, knowing that He was worried that Liu Changgui had messed with a woman who could not tell, and let herself hear it, polluting her pure girl.

    He didn’t go over either, and turned around to go back to the kitchen, but saw Liu Yuner, as if she knew a surprise, came out from the side room, plunged into the main room, mouthed Li also shouted, “Uncle San! San… Uncle San, you’re back!”

    He shook his head and went to the kitchen, the girl was helpless.

    Even if Liu Xuer didn’t listen, the three old men brought them back. We must tell the old man Liu and Liu Gao what is going on. Once we make it clear, we can hide it ? By the time it was time to eat, the older children in the courtyard also knew it.

    “I took a concubine.” Before sitting down, Mrs He whispered to He Ruyu.

    He Ruyu shook her head speechlessly.

    Liu Xuer was sitting beside He’s, waiting for the table above to move the chopsticks, and the table also began to eat. However, everyone was a little silent, like Liu Xian’er, who was even more restrained, because at this table, there was the young woman brought back by the third uncle.

    The two children are also at this table, but now Liu Shu, Liu Lin, Liu Sen, and Liu Tao have all gone to the table above Liu Laohan, so it doesn’t seem crowded here.

    Liu Xuer’s face is normal to eat, what to eat. Liu Xian’er lowered her head and ate the noodles in the bowl, wishing she could bury her head in the bowl, but Liu Yun’er, contrary to her, kept talking to the woman: “San Aunt, does this meal suit your taste? “

    “Aunt San, don’t worry, I’ve scalded your chopsticks and bowls with boiling water!”

    “Aunt San, this boy really looks like Uncle San!”

    Don’t say, Liu Xuer had a new understanding of Liu Yuner after eating this meal, this girl is really winking! What she said really scratched the woman’s itch. At first, the woman was still pretending to be a lady, but she was flattered by her mouth, and she couldn’t close it, especially Liu Yun’er who called ‘third aunt’. , that woman was so happy she couldn’t help scratching her head!

    And the rest of the table was really full of appetite. After taking a few bites, Liu Xuer couldn’t eat anymore. She barely sat for a while. When she saw that grandpa’s table above the kang started to drink, He and He Ruyu had already gone to the kitchen and didn’t know what to do, so they pretended to take something and stood there. Get up and go to the kitchen.

    There was no one in the kitchen, because Liu Xuer was not full, so she took a bowl and scooped up a bowl of stewed chicken left in the pot, and brought it to the house where Liu Hong lived before to prepare Eat here.

    Who knew that Mr. He and He Ruyu were talking here, and seeing her coming in, Mrs. He said: “Xuer is not full? Go to the kitchen…”

    Liu Xuer took her rice bowl and sat by the kang, and put the bowl on the kang table: “Oh mother! Don’t spend it on me, I can’t eat on that table, go The kitchen is oily and dark, why did you ask me to go there? You and my aunt can say whatever you want! When I don’t know, isn’t it that I secretly took a concubine behind my third aunt? According to me, is it a concubine? Not necessarily! It’s just an outhouse, maybe it doesn’t even have a name!”

    He opened her mouth wide and stared at her in astonishment, unable to say anything, He Ruyu sneered and touched her forehead: “You are smart! Where did you know?”

    Liu Xuer shook her head: “The city has been doing business for several years, and you still don’t understand anything? Mother, don’t be so surprised, I won’t learn badly, and I will pretend to be in front of people. If you don’t understand anything, you and my aunt can talk about whatever you want!”
