Chapter 003: Picking up the rags
Without ifs, the Li family didn't give her a chance to choose at all.
The next day, Li Guilan and Li Guangzhu sent all the things in Chunyang and asked her to stay in the Guo family directly, and in the future, the Guo family would run to the Li family without incident.
Sending things is not the main purpose, the main purpose of their coming here is to discuss the marriage of the two families with Cao Peiyu.
Chunyang squatted under the front window of the house with his things, quietly listening to the conversation in the house.
Parents mean that since the two families change parents, the dowry and dowry can be saved, but in order to show their attention to Cao Yun, they will still give the Guo family a little something, so that the Guo family can rest assured that Cao Yun will be married.
The words are very good, but they are actually giving the Guo family a vaccination, so that they will not interfere in Cao Yun's affairs in the future. After all, the hands of people are soft, and the Guo family has taken more things from the Li family, so they will naturally listen to the Li family in the future.
Chunyang can understand the words, how can the Guo family not understand, Cao Peiyu said with a smile: "This small dilapidated house of my family can live in one room from the beginning, and there is a curtain in the middle of sleeping at night." Chunyang is also big, it's not good to live like this, and when I turn around, I will build an ear room outside and come out to live for Zhi'en Zhili. ”
This is very interesting, it doesn't seem to match the words of Li Guangzhu and his wife at all, but if you think about it carefully, you can understand what she means.
Since it is a family exchange, the relationship between the two families is reciprocal. What conditions did the Guo family provide to the Li family girl, then the Li family naturally had to provide Cao Yun with what conditions.
The couple didn't squeak, Cao Peiyu continued to say happily: "We are also reasonable people, what you give to your daughter-in-law, of course we will give you, don't say that things are the same, at least put them together and can't be cheapened, you say yes?"
This sentence can be regarded as what the couple said before picking up the couple. It is not so easy for the Li family to give more things to block the Guo family's side, the Guo family wants to be equal, and in the future, the two families will become in-laws, and no one will be taller.
When the two families were fighting over this matter, Chunyang had one more person by his side.
"Didn't the eldest lady ask you to take Zhili out to play, why are you still at home?" asked Chunyang in a low voice.
Guo Zhien leaned in front of her, and also lowered his voice and said, "I'll let the eldest sister watch Zhili come back and listen to what they say." ”
The two families have talked a lot, and the couple promised that Cao Yun would have a separate room with Li Yonggang when she got married, and the Guo family would also build an ear room for two and a half children to live in. In addition, the Li family also wanted to give the Guo family some food, but the Guo family didn't say what they wanted to give, but they didn't say anything either.
In addition to these, the most important outcome that was finally negotiated was the marriage date.
After a few days, Li Yonggang and Cao Yun are going to go into the mountains to engage in side jobs, Li Yonggang carries wood and Cao Yun cooks for a group of big men, the Li family means to do the business of the two people before entering the mountain, and when they come back after the year, the rooms promised by the two families are almost ready, just for the little couple to live a good life.
Cao Peiyu only hesitated for a short moment before agreeing to the Li family's proposal.
"Mom and grandma don't want the eldest sister to go into the mountains to cook, they are all big men, just her and a fifty-year-old lady in the outer village, no one is at ease. It would be good if she got married to your eldest brother and could take care of her as much as she wanted," Guo Zhien explained with his head lowered and his voice lowered.
Chunyang nodded clearly, subconsciously clasped the withered grass on the ground with his right index finger, and said a little sullenly: "My parents didn't mention me." ”
The Guo family still has so many arrangements for Cao Yun, the child she picked up, but she, the girl born to the Li family, does not get a little love.
Although she knew that in her parents' hearts, the three sons were the most important, and she and her eldest sister were not as good as livestock, but every time she encountered this kind of thing, she was still very upset and wanted to cry.
Just when the pent-up emotions were about to explode, Guo Zhien hit her hard, and said with a smile: "If you don't mention it, don't mention it, maybe it's still a good thing." In the future, you can rest assured that you will live in our house, you are one year younger than me and Zhili, you are a little sister, what is there to tell my brother, my brother will give you a head. ”
After thinking about it, Zhien added: "I heard that you are very good at studying, if you still want to go to school, you can go to school, and the money and everything will be wrapped in me." ”
In the end, the tears still fell unhappily, but they were not sad tears that were ignored by their parents, but moved tears from a "family member" who was not related by blood.
Moved is moved, Chunyang's brain is good.
Guo Zhien said very lightly, if this family really has the ability for children to study, then why haven't Cao Yun and Guo Zhien gone to school, in the final analysis, there is still no money.
It's good that people can give her food and drink and not let her freeze and heat, so she is embarrassed to lick her face and let them provide for her to go to school. People's hearts are long, and the Guo family treats her well, of course, she can't ignore the life and death of this family.
"What's the matter with you? Why are you crying again? Okay, okay, let's just go by one day at a time, don't think too much. By the way, I'm going out tomorrow, the eldest sister may not be at home, you can help watch a little bit of etiquette, he always likes to run to the river, and he can't be saved if he falls into the river", Guo Zhien said lightly.
He didn't ask Chunyang about his thoughts, but she was relieved, and she reluctantly smiled and agreed.
After Li Guangzhu and his wife left, Chunyang went into the house to pack his things, and Guo Zhien also followed up to discuss with Cao Peiyu about going out tomorrow.
Guo Zhien is going to the town, it's quite a long way, it takes half a day to walk, and it takes a day to go back and forth without doing anything.
"What are you doing in town? Your eldest sister won't stay at home for a few days, so stay at home," Cao Peiyu said disapprovingly.
Grandma also said: "Our family is going to build an ear room, and you can go and come back with some sand and soil while the soil is not frozen, don't keep running out." ”
Guo Zhien stroked his short hair close to his scalp, and said in an adult's tone: "I have an idea of covering the ear room in my heart, and I am short of things, so I just went to the town to find out." Also, the head of the Li family wants to give food, don't we have to have something, I'll go out and try my luck. ”
Chunyang listened in the clouds, and didn't know what he meant by trying his luck.
But soon she knew!
Guo Zhien didn't go to the town to play or buy things, he went to pick up rags!
It seems that it is not right to use "tattered" to describe the things he picked up, which is indeed not new, but it is really not broken.
When he left, he took with him a sack of hemp and two pieces of dead dough cakes, and when he came back, the sack was full and he had a hard time carrying it.
The Guo family seemed to have become accustomed to him going out to pick up things, and only Chunyang and Zhili Thief curiously leaned over to see what was in the sack.
Zhi'en conjured a wooden pistol for Zhili as if by magic, and the body of the gun was a little dirty, and it looked like someone else had played with it.
Zhili took the pistol and went to play happily, and Zhien bent down and took out a stack of newspapers and a stack of books tied with hemp rope from the sack one after another, which were also old, but they could all be read.
Chunyang couldn't wait to untie the rope and look through the books, it seemed that they were all books translated from foreign countries, and she hadn't read any of them.
Just when Chunyang couldn't put it down and looked through the old books, Zhien took out a lot of things from the sack, and opened them neatly one by one, all of which made Chunyang stunned.
