Xi Mei
Chapter 39:Xi Mei
Under the porch, standing a woman who described the haggard, with a worn-out dress and a yellow and thin girl, was choking to speak to Wu: "... When this fall of the house, we can't carry it."Last borrowed the owner of two hundred text do not know when to pay back, can not always borrow.My sister is twelve this year, and all the housework will be done, I thought, the owner... If she wants to find a service for the young lady, she is still very good...”
When I heard that there was no sound, I thought I was ashamed.
This is the daughter-in-law and daughter of Yang Anping, the confidant of the Guo family.
The Guo family has two bungalow farmers, the other surname Zhu, named Zhu Shun.
Looking at that "sinister", it is really a person as its name, a very thin little girl, there is no such age should have a moistness.
Seeing her look at herself, the sister looked down in panic, low self-esteem and shrive.
The feeling of swelling in the heart of the mute has diluted the joy of the New Year.
Wu sighed and said, “Sister Yang, go into the house and sit down.”I looked at this... I told his father that I could not tell you to sell your daughter at the age of 30, and I was too sad in my heart.Besides, we are not a lady of cleanness, and do not be served by anyone.She does many things for me every day, better than her sister-in-law.Alas, I should give birth to my children, and I will help you again."
He said, shouting at Guo Qin and shouting at Grandpa.
Father and son Guo Shouye are cleaning things in the West Room.
The woman did not stop thanking him and followed Wu into the hall.
The dumb did not follow.
Falling to this point, 30 nights to sell their daughter, no one is happy, do not want to be watched by the crowd.Even if she is not malicious, standing there, the sister will compare herself with her, it is not difficult!
She stood in the porch, looking at the snow with the light and the light of the lanterns in the house.
In the light and shadow, the snow chased excitedly, and there was a silent enthusiasm.
She looked at her, and she pursed her ears to hear the house.
"I am sincere, not deliberately to come up to borrow money tonight, so that the host can live a restless year."Even if the owner is kind, can it help us for a lifetime?Always we do not have a field, usually good, a three disaster and two diseases, can not survive.If the owner wants a sister, we can also take a breath.It is not that I am a mother's heart, we helped the Guo family to plant land for these years, know the owner's character, said it is to sell my daughter, the fine sister in the Guo family we rest assured.If I change one, I don’t know how, I’ll give it.”
At this time, Guo Shouye came from the west.
Seeing the girl under the corridor, he was busy saying, “What is standing outside?”Don't freeze, come on in!"
He thought about it and followed him into the house.
She can't let go of her sister, she has to listen to it clearly.
After Guo Shouye went in, Yang Anping's family hurriedly stood up and called "East."
Guo Shouye looked at her, sat down at the table, and asked Wu, “What’s the matter?”
Wu said the meaning of Yang Anping's daughter-in-law.
Guo Shouye was silent.
The tenant farmer must pay rent, pay taxes, and get a full year to get a full meal, in case of a disaster year or illness, selling children is common.In the winter months, Yang Anping accidentally got wind and cold, and he fell ill, and who knows, he went to this step.
However, he is used to the cold and warm of the world, and he is not as compassionate as the dumb.
There are many poor people in this world, and they all have such compassion and where there are days.
Even, he also saw a little thought of Yang Anping's daughter-in-law: selling the chicks to the Guo family, the days must be better than in the Yang family; if you are lucky, Guojiatu to save things, perhaps the fine sister may be allowed to Guo Dagui; even if you do not give Guo Dagui, follow the Qing dumb learning weaving rice and female red, do not suffer...
However, he had his own intention: the Guo family would pass, but it was not the family of the Husband and the maidservant.It is clear, so capable, the fine sister is coming, and I don't know who serves whom.Even if you teach your sister out, you will get married again.As for giving Guo Dagui, it is impossible, and his son is not a man who cannot marry his daughter-in-law, how can he buy a child-rearing daughter-in-law?
Thinking about it, he and Wu exchanged a look.
The couple of decades is very good.
Wu smiled at Yang Anping’s daughter-in-law: “Yang family sister, don’t worry.When someone has not been sad in their lives, it is a long way.Your family is sick, that’s how it is.I’ll lend you a piece of silver, and you’ll use it first.”
And then suddenly, my eyes were wide open.
I saw that the cleanness came out from the east, carrying a basket in his hand, full of things, heavy.There are tofu, dried beans, glutinous rice, and a piece of meat; there are two paper bags that can be seen, I don't know what they are wrapped; there is also a small tile jar, which Wu remembers is filled with rice sugar.
He walked up to Yang Anping’s daughter-in-law and handed her the basket.
Yang Anping's daughter-in-law dared to pick up, stammering: "Can't!How good is that!”
One side looks at Wu and Guo Shouye.
He said, "Dad, mother, let your sister help me next year."
Not to serve, but to help.
The girl looked up and looked at her.
The eyes are quiet and there is no tolerance and mercy.
Inscrutable, the sister's heart calmed down.
Wu doesn’t know how to say it.
If she does not agree, the girl has no face; she will not accept it.
She looked at Guo Shuye.
Guo Shouye's brain turned sharply, suddenly woke up, and hurriedly said, "Yang family sister, you can take these things, go back for a good year."Take one or two more pieces of silver for her to help old Yang."He turned to the mute and said, "Cute, you write an Illusion."Then turn to Yang Anping's daughter-in-law, "Don't say more, first pass the year."Next year, we will work a lot in our family, so we will ask my sister to help and pay the wages.Isn’t that better than selling your daughter?”
Yang Anping's daughter-in-law did not expect this change, and said, "This... how good is this?"
Although Wu did not know what the old man's thoughts were, he believed him very much, so he smiled: "I dare to borrow, you are not worried?"Don't worry.This basket is for you, no need to pay it back.You have two kids in your house, go back and make a good New Year."
Yang Anping's daughter-in-law believed it to be true, and pulled her sister to kowtow.
Wu raised up quickly, and asked her to write the loan when he faced the mute eye.
He went upstairs and wrote, turned around half, and handed the sheet of paper to Guo Shouye.
Yang Anping's daughter-in-law knows the Guo family well, to say that the big rape is not, but the two people are smart and unsatisfied, otherwise they can't save the family business.Today, I sent these things to her in vain, but not Wu's generous, all her meaning.
So she saw that she was clear and dumb, pulling her sister and giving her a clear mutter.
It was scary and full of fun.
Avoid the eyes of the sister.
He is full of gratitude and trust.
She smiled at her.
The sister also moved her mouth and bowed her head shyly.
The two of them were quiet and silent.
At this time, Yang Anping's daughter-in-law's voice passed into her ears: "...the paper written by the girl, I can't believe it!"The owner is not the one who oppresses the poor, and we have not been so fingerprinted once, and we have never seen the Guo family deceive people."
It was a handprint.
The dumber didn’t interrupt anymore.
Borrowing, that’s common sense.
Her parents are all the best on weekdays, so she doesn’t know, so she’s not full of good people.
As for the things that sent Yang's family, she had reason to convince her parents.
Wu saw the end, help people to help the end, sent the Buddha to the west, because of the Yang Anping daughter-in-law told: "I will not say anything else, you know how to get, is this tofu dumplings and tofu buns, it is best to use steaming steaming hot to eat, do not cook in the water, boiling it will have no taste."Think about it and ask, “Do you have rice in your house?”There are always fish...”
Yang Anping's daughter-in-law nodded quickly and said, "There is ... rice."Fish too.Thank you very much.
He thanked him many times, took the basket and took the sister out.
My sister looked back at the mute.
He looked at her, still not speaking.
My sister turned around.
They met Nguyen at the door, and they said a few words, thanking them, and then they left.
Nguyen waited for her mother and daughter to walk away, and then said to the house: "Dad, mother, we are the New Year."
Guo Shouye was whispering to Wu, “...to find many people at that time.”My sister is like that, I can help.”
Wu listened, and said, “Hang, cook.”
Nguyen turned back to the kitchen.
He listened to his father, put his heart down, and followed.
Here, Wu lost his regret: “You didn’t say it sooner!If so, buy your sister and be sure to use it.”
Guo Shouye inclined her glance and said, “There are many people to use it, rely on the fine sister to do it!”Yang Anping now has difficulties, we can help also help, not to see his luck.I don’t think 80 percent will survive.If it is over, he always remembers Guo Jia's kindness, and he will work hard in the future; if he can't get through, he must sell his sister, then we bought the girl again, he has nothing to say, only more grateful to us.Not only the Yang family, but outside the village, you must meet with more smiles later.We have to do something big, always have a few sweet people...”
He said, Wu doesn’t stop noding.
As they spoke, the children and grandchildren came to the main house, and everyone was beaming.
The mute and sister-in-law put a bowl of dishes on the table and quickly filled them.
Wu's heart is full of good prospects, the New Year's Eve dinner is so rich, feel the body is all ignited by the fiery red day, boiling hustle and bustle.Because he laughed loudly and asked, “The eldest daughter-in-law, can you cook sweet wine?”We’re going to have some drinks at the ladies’ house tonight.Just drink sweet wine.Ask the kids to drink too.It's warm to your body."
He grinned, “Cook, cook.”
Wu stood up and commanded the arrangement.
The food was packed, everyone in.
The big table in the four sides, the old two sitting at the top, Guo Da sat on the right hand side, Guo Da had two mouths on the left hand side, Guo Dagui and the dumb sat at the bottom, even the children were on the table, inserted in the three corners of the table, surrounded by full.
Before the opening, Guo went out.
After a firecracker, he came back to the table.
For a table, dumb do not feel tired, even very appetizing; and think of the look of the sister just now, certainly can not eat such a good New Year's Eve dinner; and then think of the Guo family is not so rich every year's New Year's Eve dinner, not to mention the usual, she felt that the appetite is more vigorous, every dish in the eyes are so attractive.
