Blissful Days After Widowhood

    It was only dusk when Gu Yin returned to Jinyi Lane, but due to the bad weather, dusk came early.

    The entrance of the alley is narrow and the carriage cannot pass.

    After thanking the driver, Gu Yin got out of the car and walked home.

    As soon as he reached the entrance of the alley, he saw a black shadow quickly passing in front of him, turning into another alley and disappearing.

    Gu Yin stopped and squinted, and when she looked closely, she saw Wu An with a small hood sticking out half of his head from the alley.

    "Mother! Sister-in-law is back!" The little guy shouted and came up to hold Gu Yin's hand.

    Gu Yin dodged and avoided, "I'm cold."

    Xiao Wu An obediently pinched the corner of her skirt.

    One big and one small walked slowly home in the alley, Gu Yin said with a smile: "I just saw a small black shadow jumping past, what do I think it is. It turned out to be You're a little kid."

    Xiao Wuan shook his head quickly, "I didn't run around, I've been standing behind the wall and waiting."

    Without waiting for Gu Yin and Xiao Wu'an to answer, Mrs Wang grabbed one in one hand and dragged them into the house.

    There was a brazier in the house, and as soon as she entered the door, Gu Yin sighed comfortably.

    Wang put away her umbrella and put it at the door, closed the door of the main room, came in and took off the big cotton robe for her, then pressed her onto a bench and stuffed it. A new mother-in-law warmed her up and went into the stove again.

    Gu Yin saw that Xiao Wu'an's nose was red from the cold, so she asked that Mrs. Tang to give up a little space, and the two of them covered her.

    "Sister-in-law's hand is so red." Xiao Wu'an reached out and touched Gu Yin's finger lightly, fearing that it would hurt her, she immediately retracted her little hand.

    Gu Yin looked down, she didn't feel any difference on her hands when she was outside, but now that she warmed up, she realized that her fingers and the back of her hands were red, swollen, and thick.

    She joked: "Do my sister-in-law's fingers look like pickled radish sticks? Will I grind your teeth when you're hungry at night?"

    Xiao Wu'an was teased by her and laughed.

    Wang came out of the stove with hot water, and scolded with a stern face when she heard the words: "It's all like this, and you're still in the mood to laugh? I knew that the wind and snow were so strong in the afternoon, and I shouldn't let anything I say. You go out!"

    Gu Yin immediately stopped laughing and did it on the stool honestly.

    Wang put the tub with hot water in front of Gu Yin, and people squatted down.

    Gu Yin quickly retracted her feet, embarrassedly said: "Mother, I'll do it myself!"

    Wang glared at her, "Why are you still embarrassed? When you first came to our house, you were scared to pee on the kang at night, and it wasn't the mother who gave it to you..."

    "Mother!" Gu Yin's face was flushed, although it was the original body when she was a child, but she has now completely integrated the original body's memory, which is equivalent to listening to the embarrassment of her own childhood.

    Xiao Wuan covered her mouth and snickered, Wang Shi also stopped talking, twisted Wu An's body, made him turn his back to the two, and then lifted her skirt and helped her take it off Snow-soaked socks.

      swell.

    Wang shi held her feet and did not put hot water directly, but said to her with a stern face: "I had a lot of inquiries with people today, and only then did I know how to treat this frostbite, like you If you come back from outside, you have to soak your feet in hot water. But you can't soak your feet directly in the cold water, you have to warm them up first. Otherwise, if you soak in the hot water directly, you will fall off ten toes!"

    Gu Yin listened to her frightening herself as if she was frightening a child, forcibly restrained her smile, nodded and said, "It's still mother who knows a lot, I will listen to you."

    But when Wang shi finished speaking and was about to put her feet in her arms, Gu Yin was very embarrassed and wanted to withdraw her feet.

    "I've been walking all day!"

    Wang's hand held it like a pair of pliers, "Why didn't you just listen to me? Now you're embarrassed, don't you? I think you learned to pour manure with me when you were eleven years old. …”

    "Mother, you are my mother! What you say is what you say!" Gu Yin helplessly begged for mercy, and did not dare to struggle.

    Wang snorted complacently, and almost wrote the words "I want to fight with me, the little girl is still tender" on her face.

    After covering for about half a quarter of an hour, Mrs. Wang touched Gu Yin's feet to warm up, and put her feet into the water basin.

    Gu Yin sighed comfortably again. Mrs. Wang went to the kitchen to wash her hands, then brought out a pot of hot water, and sat down on the small bench beside Gu Yin's feet.

    "In the past, the winter in our place was not as cold as here, but today I listened to your aunt Xu talking all the way, and only then did I know that many people here suffer from frostbite and freeze to death every year! It made me scared to death. If it snows again in the future, you will never be able to go out. I also bought you an ointment for frostbite today, and apply it immediately after soaking your feet..."

    Gu Yin responded gently, and the temperature on her feet spread to her limbs and bones, and even her internal organs were ironed as if they were soaked in hot water. All the mishaps during the day seem to be nothing.

    After changing the hot water three or four times, Wang wiped Gu Yin's feet dry with a cloth towel, and took out another white porcelain box from her arms.

    Wang looked up and saw Gu Yin's eyes on the porcelain box in her hand, and said, "What are you looking at? Apply three times a day. After eating, put bubbles on your hands and put them on your hands. Gotta paint too."

    "This ointment is really comfortable, isn't it expensive?"

    Wang said with a stern face: "Your child is in charge of so much?" Then she thought that she had handed over the financial power of the family to Gu Yin before, and it was normal for her to ask questions. Then he added: "Anyway, I didn't move the money at home, it's the private money you gave me before."

    In the beginning, Wang's family got 22 taels of silver from her mother's family. Afterwards, it was expensive to do business, and there was not much left. In the end, all the money was given to Gu Yin. Afterwards, the business of the small stall became more and more prosperous, and the money finally given by Wang's family didn't come in handy, so Gu Yin returned the two or three taels to her, and let her use it as her private money, separate from the family's money.

     Seeing that she refused to speak, Gu Yin guessed that the price must be expensive. But this is because the mother-in-law at home is kind, and she no longer asks.

    The meatballs were kneaded from the meat filling prepared by Gu Yin before, and white radish was also put in the soup. The meatballs are round, fragrant and soft, and the white radish also stews the soup flavor, and the glutinousness melts in the mouth. The sesame cakes are freshly baked after the Wang family bought them in the afternoon. The crispy skin is full of sesame fragrance.

    Gu Yin didn't eat lunch, and only put her chopsticks after eating two sesame cakes.

    Wang shi looked at her in a hurry to eat, obviously she was busy all day and didn't bother to eat lunch, she probably guessed that she went out to see work that day was not going well. She would definitely have to ask carefully when she was on the shelf, and then slap the person who didn't have long eyes and didn't choose her daughter-in-law.

    But seeing that Gu Yin didn't mention it herself, she still held back and didn't ask.

    After dinner, Gu Yin was pushed back to the house by the Wang family, and she was not allowed to wash the dishes.

    Gu Yin went back to the room and lay down on the bed, and began to think about the day's events, she always vaguely felt that something was wrong—

    It was mainly the matter of the Wang family's big house. At that time, the couple in the Wang family just knew that the Wang family was bringing them back, and they couldn't wait to come to the door. I wish I could fool the Wang family overnight.

    At that time, Gu Yin thought they were just afraid of Wang's blowing the autumn wind.

    The Wang family took out the letters of their deceased parents. Although the Wang family was reluctant at that time, under the auspices of the patriarch, they did not play any other tricks.

    This should have ended.

    But today she saw the scale and passenger flow of Wangyuelou, and knew that the big room was definitely not bad. The life of the big room is so good, the second room couple is only more shrewd and capable than the big room, and they know that they will not be worse than them.

    Let's not talk about making money every day, it won't look like it will take so much trouble for one or two rooms. And at that time, they didn't know that the Wang family had a letter left by the two elders, and they wanted to share a room with them. Why is there such a rush to strike first?

    It seems that they just don't want to see their mother-in-law go back to her parents' house?

    For a while, Gu Yin couldn't figure out the key points, plus the drowsiness after a day of running around, she was so drowsy that she almost fell asleep.

    The door creaked, and Mr. Wang broke the hot water and came in again, "Soak your hands before going to sleep."

    Gu Yin rubbed her eyes and got up, sat down at the table, and obediently put her hand into the water basin.

    Wang saw her head drowsy little by little, like a chick pecking at rice, her eyes crooked with laughter.

      , I'll boil a large pot of hot water for you tomorrow morning. Wash it up when you get up."

    Gu Yin couldn't open her eyelids, so she gave a nasal "um".

    Wang saw that she would not resist for a while, so she climbed up the pole, and said, "Then also promised not to go out tomorrow!"

    Gu Yin's brain was dizzy, and she answered again.

    Wang shi lightly carried the water basin and went out, since she agreed, no matter what Gu Yin said tomorrow, she could not let her out again!

    However, Mr. Wang still miscalculated, because Wen Peifeng personally came to look for it early the next morning.
