Eight hundred and eighty-eighth chapter old lady's grievance
"This depends on what happened when she was found..." Lian Man'er only said one sentence, but did not explain it in detail.
Zhang Caiyun and Lian Man'er were very close to each other, and they had been together for quite some time, so they also had a good understanding of Lian Man'er. Judging from Lian Man'er's appearance, they knew that she had probably made a decision, but it was not convenient to say it at the moment, so they stopped asking.
At the hour of Hai, Lian Shouli, Lian Shouren and Lian Jizu led the two groups of people who went east and south to look for them back first. These two groups were all 32-li Yingzi, and even villagers near the village. Because they were all down, they didn't go too far. Moreover, the weather was still very cold at night, so it was not easy for everyone to search all night.
Neither of these two groups found Lian Duoer. They even asked all the way, but did not ask about Lian Duoer's traces.
After calculating the distance these two groups of people have been looking for, everyone thought that Lian Duoer was probably not going these two paths.
When the two groups of people returned, Lian Man'er immediately learned the news. Because both groups of people went to the old house, Lian Man'er ordered the manager Han Zhong to deliver the hot soup and rice, and asked Han Zhong to stay at the old house and entertain everyone. The villagers helped find Lian Duoer, and their people received this favor.
Old house
Unlike ordinary people who are older, Zhou has a lot of sleep every day. Although she lies for a long time during the day, she becomes sleepy as soon as she gets tonight. Because everyone goes to find someone, she is the only one who goes to the room, Jiang and Da Niu Niu.
There was still no movement in the east wing.
As soon as it was dark, Zhou hurriedly asked Jiang to light the two houses, as well as the outer room. She also went downstairs to the floor herself, picked up a kitchen knife from the outer room with a convenient kitchen knife, and returned to the room. She placed it under her own pillow.
It was dark, even the old man had just passed away, and even Shouren and Jizu were not in the room. Zhou was more afraid than usual.
After sitting for a while, Zhou was sleepy and a little impatient. He wanted to lay the bed and sleep, but Jiang stopped her.
"My mother, those who are looking for someone later will definitely come back. When the time comes, you will have to make trouble." Jiang advised Zhou tactfully, "Otherwise, don't take off your clothes first, just lie on the kang, so as not to shake back and forth."
If everyone finds someone to come back and finds that Zhou has already lying down and sleeping, they are afraid that Zhou will not care about the loss of his granddaughter at all, and Zhou has lost the etiquette to everyone in doing so.
Jiang thought so in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out loud, so he could only use other reasons as an excuse.
Zhou was probably thinking of it too. If he had fallen asleep at this time, he would not be able to do so, so he was not willful. After listening to Jiang's words, he just lay down with his clothes, and told Jiang not to walk away.
Jiang knew that Zhou was timid, so he asked her to sleep as much as possible. She would take Da Niu Niu to accompany her in the house all the time.
"Milk, why don't we prepare to order something? It's dark and cold. It's not easy for everyone to help me." Jiang discussed with Zhou before he could sleep.
"We don't need to prepare, how many things we have. The fourth brother must have prepared." This time, Zhou did not listen to Jiang's words. "It's not them, and we can't make such a big noise. They are all coming to them, and they should prepare food for them."
Zhou said this and closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Jiang had no choice but to sigh.
When everyone who was looking for Lian Duoer returned to the old house, Zhou had already slept peacefully. Jiang called Zhou and put Da Niu Niu next to Zhou, turned around and went to the outer room to boil water so that everyone could wash and wash.
"Are you looking for it?" Zhou asked Lian Shouren, Lian Jizu and Lian Shouli.
"I haven't found it." Several people said.
"There is no worry-free place," Zhou clasped his lips, "I have been tossing for her for so many times, making the family uneasy. If you lose it, you will lose it, and if you lose it, you will save it!"
Because someone came into the house soon, Zhou left the topic behind.
Soon, Lian Man'er sent someone to send hot soup and hot rice. Han Zhong, the manager, thanked everyone one by one. For a moment, the room was very lively, so everyone did it themselves, put the table, set the stool, and sat down to start eating.
There were dining tables in the east and west rooms. There was also a table on the kang in the east room for Zhou.
As soon as the table was placed in the room, there was a movement in the east wing. First, Lian Shouli and pulled out their shoes, smelled the fragrance of the food and entered the room.
"Ah... don't be polite, eat and drink well..." Lian Shouli said a few words with a smile, without anyone asking him to squeeze into a table and sat down. He took the dishes and ate a big bite.
Then, He brought Liulang and Lian Yaer.
"I didn't have dinner at night, so I was so hungry that I was still obsessed with my back..." He looked around with big eyes and said.
The people who sat and ate were all men. No matter how He was, it was hard to squeeze into the middle to sit. Zhou was sitting next to the table on the kang, and she didn't dare to sit there. Therefore, He simply took a big bowl of sea, scooped a large bowl of rice and vegetables from a dining table with a smile, and stood in the outer room to eat.
As for Liulang and Lian Yaer, everyone may look down on Lian Shouyi and He, but they all have sympathy for the children, especially when I heard that they didn't have dinner. Some older people looked at Liulang silly and pitiful, so they simply called him to the side, and the table of people made a place to make a table, and Liulang stood there to eat.
Lian Ya'er was pushed to Zhou by He's first.
Lian Ya'er didn't dare to go to the kang to have dinner, so she lowered her head timidly, and even dared not look at Zhou.
When Lian Shouyi came in, Zhou shook her face. It was just that there were too many people, so it would be difficult to get angry in person. Later, when Lian Shouyi and He were rushing to have dinner, her face became even more ugly.
"My sister-in-law, let your granddaughter eat with you." Someone shouted, "No matter how adults are, the child should not be hungry. I passed by your door and heard several times that my sister-in-law called this girl to work."
Zhou was not good at attack, and he was a little embarrassed to say goodbye to Lian Yaer on the table, and his face turned pale. It was still Jiang who saw the opportunity, so he hurriedly pulled Lian Yaer onto the kang, added food for her, and asked her to have a good meal with Da Niu Niu.
Zhou was depressed. After taking a few bites, she put down her chopsticks and came to the outer room. Jiang hurriedly followed and supported Zhou in the outer room. Although she knew that Zhou was in a bad mood now, she was not talking, so she still discussed with Zhou in a low voice.
"Milk is all the things sent by Uncle Fourth's house. It's enough to eat. Just eat it. Otherwise, everyone might say that." Jiang knew why Zhou was angry, so he persuaded him first.
Zhou also knew this truth, but he felt upset when he saw Lian Shouyi's family. But Jiang said it was right. At this time, she would make noise and not let Lian Shouyi and the others have dinner. She was the only one who blamed everyone.
Zhou could only bear it.
"Whose thing can do? He just angered me and made me so angry." Zhou raised his hand and stroked his chest.
When Jiang heard Zhou's tone of speaking, he was a little loose, so he took the opportunity to persuade him.
"...It was all sent by the Fourth Uncle's family. Although it was the Fourth Uncle's family who recognized this favor, it wouldn't look good if we didn't say anything." Jiang said carefully, "My lady, we have to live in the village in the future, and we have to maintain some favors, otherwise we won't have to go out in the future."
"The fourth uncle's house has enough food. We will add a little more. It's our thoughts. Everyone looks good... There is no need for many things... There must be some relationships, and we have to date a few people. No, we can't rely on the other side of the fourth uncle."
The old man was gone, and the old house was gone. Lian Shouren and Lian Jizu could not stand up in the village, and Zhou was just the majesty on their own kang.
In the future, when living at home, Zhou could eat and drink enough and not think about anything, but even Shouren, Lian Jizu, and Jiang could not do this. It was not only for themselves, but also for their descendants.
After Jiang's repeated persuasion, Zhou's face was calm, frowned and thought for a while, and finally nodded.
Jiang quickly washed the pot and fired the fire, rushing to make two side dishes to serve on the table. Everyone naturally saw that they were sent by Lian Shouxin's family before, and later they were made by Jiang's family. Some people praised Jiang's good cooking skills and the Lian family married a good wife.
Jiang was busy serving him diligently. After hearing this, he was secretly happy and finally left a good impression on everyone. This is crucial for their future life in the village.
Because Zhou was bored inside the house, she refused to go in. She stood outside the house alone against the door frame. After a while, she felt that the cold was almost to the bone.
"... The old bastard left me and left. The widow was unemployed and anyone could bully him. How can you live your life in the future..."
Zhou murmured with a crying voice, then slowly turned back into the room.
...
The manager Han Zhong entertained everyone in the old house. After everyone had dinner, they all left. He came back and reported to Zhang and Lian Man'er that he finally added two side dishes to Jiang and said that Lian Shouyi's family had a meal at the Shangfang.
After hearing this, Lian Man'er asked Han Zhong to go down first and take a whistle to find out. If there is any news from Lian Shouxin and Wulang, come and report it immediately.
Zhang, even Man'er and Zhang Caiyun were not sleepy because they were thinking about the people going out. The mother and three of them lit up the candles, sat together to do needlework, and spoke while talking. Xiaoxi, Xiaoqing and several other girls were also accompanying each other.
"It seems that I've been dying there all the time. How come I've made a fortune this time? I still know to add two more vegetables." Zhang Caiyun's speech has always been very refreshing. Now that the house is closest, she has said something even more.
"It was arranged by Jizu's wife. She understands everything about human nature, reason, and so on." Zhang said.
"The old lady must agree," Zhang Caiyun said.
"She understands too." Lian Man'er said, "In the past, there was an old man here, and she supported the sky and held the rudder. She could do whatever she wanted. Even if it was wrong, there would be an old man to make up for it later. Now, it's not possible."
