Chapter 74: Spring Cold (1)

Cui Hong rolled her eyes at her husband: "You are a toad on the weighing pan, claiming to be arrogant!"

Zhao Chenghai sneered: "My four big houses and two kitchens are here, how can I call myself arrogant?"

Cui Hong glared: "How many houses are you building?

Zhenhua waved his hand and said, "Don't quarrel with Mom and Dad, just Zhang Kexiang, I'll identify her!"

Cui Hong and Zhenxia said in unison: "Yes, it's Kexiang, except for her, no one in our family wants it!"

Zhao Chenghai was lonely, rolled his eyes, took a shovel, and went to the door to level the land, while making a small calculation in his heart.

Cui Hong chased after her and said, "What should I do about finding red leaves, you have to settle down quickly! We are discussing at home and asking Xiuzhen to propose marriage, but we haven't told anyone yet, you hurry up and say hello to prevent people from having trouble on the sixth day of the new year." ”

Zhao Chenghai grinned: "Wang Xiang drank too much wine at noon, and now he is sleeping, snoring like a pig, looking at this energy, he can't wake up until night, I'll talk about it tomorrow." ”

Cui Hong listened attentively, and sure enough, she could hear Wang Xiang's snoring, so she had to nod: "Okay, I must go and say it tomorrow, I can't delay it any longer." ”

Zhao Chenghai nodded and continued to work.

Early the next morning, Qi Lei set off with the cover on his back, went to Hedong Town, met with several nearby bricklayers, and went to work on the construction site of Wang Yaoyan in Huaibei.

Zhao Chenghai happened to go to Heyuan Town, twenty miles away, to get tung oil, and by the way, he bought small things such as hinges for windows, and the two stopped by and chatted all the way to the town.

Heyuan Town is a big bazaar, one of the three ancient towns in the county, prosperous and lively, with complete goods. There is a local saying that if you can't buy it, go to Heyuan Town to buy it, and if you can't sell it, go to Heyuan Town to sell it!

Zhao Chenghai took a tricycle and came to Heyuan Town, went around looking for it, bought what he wanted to buy, but was not in a hurry to go home, and came to the land temple in the south of the town.

This land temple, known as the "Temple of the Seven Aunts and Grandmothers" by the locals, is said to be very effective.

There was a woman in her forties, a psychic boy, who presided over everyone's incense worship activities.

Zhao Chenghai spent two yuan, put on a stick of incense, kowtowed three times, stood up and said to the boy: "I have a little cough, come and burn an incense ......."

The boy grabbed a handful of incense ashes from the incense burner, wrapped it in red paper, handed it to Zhao Chenghai, and said, "Go home and drink water, drink a little every night, for a total of seven days!"

"Okay, I know. Zhao Chenghai took the bag of incense ash, nodded and left.

When Zhao Chenghai returned home by car, it was already half past twelve, and Zhenhua was having dinner with the carpenter Yao Tianxiang and his apprentice.

Zhao Chenghai also sat down at the table, drank a glass of wine, and served a meal.

After the meal, the sky gradually became gloomy, as if to herald the arrival of a spring cold.

Cui Hong was worried about Zhenhua and Zhang Kexiang, and pulled her husband into the kitchen again, and said, "You said that you went to find Wang Xiang and Xiuzhen today, but you didn't go." Now hurry up, Wang Xiang didn't drink today!"

"Alasβ€”β€”!"

Zhao Chenghai suddenly sighed, his face was heavy, and said, "I was about to tell you this!"

Cui Hong was frightened by her husband's expression, and frowned: "What's the matter......?" Has there been a change?"

"Alas......" Zhao Chenghai sighed again, took out the bag of incense ash from his pocket, and said:

"I went to Heyuan Town today to get tung oil, and by the way, I went to the Temple of the Seventh Aunt and Grandmother. It's not a cough, it's just going to order incense ash. But when the boy in the temple saw me, he said......"

"Just say what!?" Cuihong tensed.

Zhao Chenghai sat down on the low stool in front of the stove, sighed, shook his head, and said:

"The boy said I was not looking good, and asked me if there was anything wrong with my family. So I told me about building a house, and the boy did the math and said that it was not the case. I thought about it for a while, and told Zhenhua and the little tailor about it. The boy asked for Zhenhua's birthday, counted it again, and said...... Zhenhua begged his wife, but he couldn't ask for a year younger than him, otherwise, he would definitely ...... in the future will die at the hands of that woman!"

"Huh!?" Crimson was struck by lightning and shook all over her body, almost unsteady on her feet, and her body involuntarily grabbed the kitchen door frame.

Because Cui Hong knows that Zhang Kexiang is one year younger than Zhenhua!

Zhao Chenghai covered his face with his hands, making a painful and tangled look, sighing while peeking at his wife's expression from between his fingers.

Zhao Chenghai thought about this strategy for a month or two before he came up with it!

The people in the village are superstitious, and Emerald Red is not unexpected. Zhao Chenghai pretended to pass on the holy decree, and through the mouth of the seventh aunt and grandmother, he came to beat the mandarin ducks, which can be regarded as a poisonous plan!

A cold sweat broke out on Cuihong's head, and it took a long time to wake up, and she asked in a panic: "Then what should I do?

Zhao Chenghai spread his hands: "Of course I asked, people said that Zhenhua's birthday was weird and couldn't be cracked!"

Cui Hong's legs were weak, and she sat on the threshold of the kitchen, stunned.

Zhao Chenghai sighed again and said: "I have always said that the little tailor does business on the street and is flashy, it seems that I am right." A flashy woman who doesn't have anything to do with anyone will naturally bring disaster to her own man......"

Cui Hong suddenly jumped up from the ground, glared and said: "What nonsense are you talking about, Kexiang is not clean with anyone, and you have seen it!? I see that other girls have a lot of responsibilities! The money given by Zhenhua last time and the New Year's money I gave, people didn't ask for a penny." ”

"It's not me...... Did you guess according to the boy's words? What the boy said, it's not me......" Zhao Chenghai blinked his eyes, pretending to be innocent.

Cui Hong was in a daze, suddenly turned her head and walked towards the road behind, and said: "I'll go to the old master, the old master will also calculate the eight characters of the birthday, I will let him see if Zhenhua and Kexiang are incompatible!"

Zhao Chenghai hurriedly chased after him and shouted, "Do you know people's birthdays?"

Cui Hong was stunned for a moment and stopped.

She only knows how old Zhang Kexiang is this year, but she doesn't know the specific birthday.

Zhao Chenghai pulled his wife back, began to pretend to be a good person again, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, don't mess up, when dinner is eaten and the carpenter is gone, we will discuss with Zhenhua and see what to do." ”

Cui Hong thought about it, wiped a handful of tears, nodded slightly, and continued to take care of the housework with a heart.

Zhenhua noticed that his mother's expression was wrong, so he asked, "Mom, are you not feeling well?"

"Oh, I'm a little afraid of the cold, I guess I burned yesterday, I sweated and got cold, it's okay. Cui Hong smiled reluctantly to hide the past, waiting for it to get dark.

In the evening, the sky was getting more and more overcast, and there was a hint of heat.

Chunlan came back from school and said to Zhenhua: "Brother, I'm afraid it's going to snow." ”

Zhenhua was looking forward to the snow, and said with a smile: "It's going to rain, anyway, the house has been built, don't be afraid." ”

I finally stayed up until the evening, ate dinner, and sent the carpenter away.

Cui Hong immediately closed the door and called her husband and son to discuss the matter. Zhenhua's eldest sister has already gone back, and Chunlan is locked in the kitchen and does not participate in the opinion.

Zhao Chenghai smoked a cigarette, bowed his head and was silent, his face full of gloom.

Cui Hong didn't know where to start for a while, and before she spoke, her eyes turned red.

Zhenhua was shocked and asked, "Mom, what's the matter with you and my father? Didn't you two quarrel?"

"There was no quarrel. Cui Hong shook her head, forced a little smile, and asked, "Zhenhua, do you know the eight characters of Kexiang?

"Why do you think of asking this? I don't know. Zhenhua shook his head.

Cui Hong rubbed her face and said, "It's nothing, your father went to burn incense today, the boy in the temple, let's ask Kexiang's eight characters to see if you two match the eight characters......"

Zhenhua smiled, shook his head and said, "What age is it, do you still believe this?"

"Why don't you believe it? Who marries a daughter-in-law and a daughter, it doesn't count as eight characters?" Zhao Chenghai raised his eyes.

Zhenhua was about to speak, but he heard a bang, and the door was pushed open suddenly!

Xiulian's mother, Tong Jiafen, rushed in with a gust of wind, and with a few snowflakes, she looked at Zhao Zhenhua angrily!

Zhenhua was taken aback, and vaguely felt bad in his heart.

Zhao Chenghai was also surprised, hurriedly stood up, and said, "Aunt He, why are you here so late?"

Tong Jiafen didn't look at Zhao Chenghai at all, took two steps forward, knelt down in front of Zhenhua with a plop, clapped his legs with both hands, and cried:

"Uncle Zhenhua, ancestor Zhenhua, Daddy Zhenhua, please don't trample on us, okay!? I know that your family is rich and powerful, has built a big house, and wears crotch pants with the director of the credit union. I know that your family has a big business, please let us go of this poor family, we can't afford to provoke you, we are afraid of you, I will kowtow to you, okay?"

Saying that, Tong Jiafen kowtowed to Zhenhua!
