Chapter 210: Repay the favor like this
Early in the morning, two magpies, one male and one female, shook their heads and tails on the branches of a peach tree outside the house.
Wang Junkai squatted nervously by the kitchen stove to boil water, he pricked up his ears to listen carefully to the movement in the main room, his nervous father stammered and chatted with the guests.
My father was an honest farmer, and he had never received such a distinguished guest at home, and at this time he would only repeat these words: "Yes, yes, no thanks, no thanks." ”
Wang Junkai added another handful of firewood to the stove, and soon, the water in the pot was boiling, and he lifted the lid of the pot and his mind was baking, not knowing how to deal with the situation in the main house. Sweat rolled down his face, and he sighed and wiped a handful of sweat, not knowing whether it was hot or urgent.
Suddenly, a girl with a melon seed face and big eyes slipped into the kitchen, crouched next to him, and looked curiously at the stove. She covered her mouth and nose, fanned her cigarette with her hands, and muttered, "Oh my God, that's how you boil water and cook, it's the first time I've seen such a troublesome method." ”
At that moment, a thick puff of smoke came from the stove, and she coughed incessantly, and she ran out of the kitchen and into the yard.
Wang Junkai followed up and asked anxiously: "What is going on today? Why did your family all come to my house? You, you don't want to do anything bad, do you?"
The pretty girl raised her eyebrows and gave him a blank look: "What a villain's heart! What bad things can we do at your house! It's not because you helped our sisters and sons, that my grandfather and father came to the door to thank you! Why don't you hurry into the house and pour tea!"
Wang Junkai rubbed his hands nervously: "Didn't I tell you that day? I don't need you to thank me, you came to my house like this, if my father knew that you were monsters, he would definitely be scared to death!"
"When did you tell me?" the girl's eyes widened.
At this time, there was a burst of "giggle" laughter above their heads, and another girl immediately jumped down from the peach tree in the yard: "Stupid, you told me that day!"
Two pretty girls stood side by side, looking exactly the same, and the girl with the peach in her mouth was putting the peach she had picked in her pocket, and she tilted her head and looked at him mischievously, saying, "I am the peach, this is my sister Pear! ”
Wang Junkai was a little panicked: "I don't care who you are, go back quickly!"
Tao'er shook her hand and pouted: "You think we want to come, it's not forced by grandpa, if you have any opinions, go and mention it to him! Sister, come and taste this peach, it's so fresh, it's delicious, I'll give you half of it, take it!"
When Wang Junkai was about to speak, his father shouted in the main room: "Kaiwazi, is the water boiling? Come and pour water for the guests." ”
"It's on, it's on, it's coming right away!" Wang Junkai hurriedly ran back to the kitchen, scooped up boiling water from the pot in front of the stove, and poured it into the kettle.
His antics amused the two sisters, and they both burst into laughter. Li'er was climbing the peach tree in front of the house, and at this time she almost fell from the tree with laughter, and the peach under the tree also smiled and bent over, she laughed for a while and found that Wang Junkai was really in pain, so she couldn't hold back her laughter, walked up to him, took out a small bottle of medicine, and pressed it on his scalded instep.
Wang Junkai inhaled in pain, and just wanted to grab a handful of alkali to wipe his instep, but then he felt that the wound was cool, he raised his foot and shook it, and walked a few steps to try, and sure enough, it didn't hurt at all.
Tao'er "giggled" and stood next to him, slowly scooping water into the kettle spoonful by spoonful, muttering in her mouth: "You, rough hands, won't it be okay to scoop it in like this? ”
Wang Junkai was stunned for a moment after hearing this: "Of course the water is boiling, but I don't have tea for him to drink." ”
Wang Junkai returned to the back room with the kettle, and his father grabbed him as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, pointed at him and said to the old man sitting opposite: "Look at this child, he has to grind for a long time to even boil water, what can he do? Why should he be someone's son-in-law!"
"Son-in-law?" Wang Junkai heard a fresh word from his father's words, and he blinked at his father in confusion, but then he smiled and quickly went to pour water for the guests.
The old man held the cup and looked at Wang Junkai with a smile and nodded with satisfaction: "What a diligent child, and so filial and sensible, he is really likable, even the monk master often praises him! ”
Wang Junkai's father was embarrassed: "This ...... This ......"
"Go to the city to study......" As soon as Wang Junkai got a few words, his eyes immediately lit up, and he raised his head and looked at the old man in front of him in disbelief.
"Xiao Kai, you want to go to the city to study, right?"
Wang Junkai grinned, revealing two deep dimples, and nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "I want to go! I want to go!"
"That's easy, you can go with Li'er and Peach. ”
"Really?" Wang Junkai jumped up excitedly, but then he thought again, no, if you were in the same school with these two monsters, how dangerous it would be! He quickly shook his head, "I won't go, I still have parents and younger siblings at home to take care of." ”
"It's a good boy! At this time, I still think about my family first, so I said that this child is good, and it is difficult to find such a family-oriented child now. Old man Hua turned around and deliberately said these words to the middle-aged man standing behind him.
Wang Junkai knew that the middle-aged man was the father of the two sisters, and he didn't seem to be very happy with his gloomy face, but he still replied respectfully: "Dad, you are right." ”
Old man Hua turned his head to look at Wang Junkai's father again: "Then let's settle this matter, okay?"
Wang Junkai's father hurriedly shook his hand and stammered: "How can it be done! No, no, how can I, a stunned boy, be worthy of your girl! Besides, Kai Wazi is still young, and it is too early to talk about marriage. ”
Seeing the other party's refusal, the old man was also anxious: "Don't worry about the in-laws, we just let them settle the marriage first, and of course the marriage will be talked about when they grow up." ”
The more Wang Junkai listened, the more wrong he became, and he began to panic, he couldn't help but interject to interrupt the conversation between the two: "Dad, what kind of marriage, what the hell is going on?"
Wang Junkai's father rubbed his hands nervously: "This, this old man said that you saved the lives of his two granddaughters, and in order to repay the kindness, he wants to marry these two sisters to you!"
"What!" Wang Junkai was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, and the Hua sisters who had dropped the peaches in the courtyard also shouted at the same time. Under his son's surprised gaze, Wang Junkai's father pressed his forehead and sighed, he also felt a headache now.
Early this morning, the magpie was squeaking on the peach blossom branch in front of the house, and the three generations of the flower family came to the door, saying that the son of the Wang family saved his two daughters, so he came to thank him. At first, the royal father thought that his own children were helping the ladies who came to the city to travel in the mountains, and the other party said "thank you" for it.
The royal father also longed for some material rewards, but unexpectedly, as soon as the royal father beckoned them to sit down, the grandfather of the girl proposed that in order to repay the favor, he would marry his own flowery granddaughter to Kai Wazi. What age is this, this, what is this!
Wang Junkai and the two sisters were panicked when they heard these words, and they each went to their father and asked anxiously: "What the hell is going on? What are you doing? What is 'Xu Match'!"
The old man smiled and patiently explained to his granddaughters: "He saved the lives of your sisters, you should promise each other, in other words, the promise is to marry one of you to Kai Wazi as a wife." ”
The two girls screamed loudly. They immediately pounced on the old man, shaking his neck and arms coquettishly, kneading and kneading him, beating his back and legs, insisting that he take the decision as a joke.
Since the birth of the sisters Li'er and Tao'er, the old man Hua is not as strict with these two granddaughters as he is with his son, and even doting, so Li'er and Tao'er are not afraid of him, and at this time, whether they are guests at other people's homes or not, they coquettishly ask him to retract what he just said.
But this is the only thing that the old man insisted that it was for their good, but he didn't want to change his words, and the sisters were so anxious that they stomped their feet.
The father of the two sisters timidly made some suggestions for his daughter's marriage: "Dad, you better discuss this matter and think about it again, right?"
"It's rare to meet such a good child as Xiao Kai, what else is there to consider?" Old man Hua spoke to his son in a very different tone from his granddaughter, he replied categorically, glared at his son, and there was no room for negotiation at all.
"This is a marriage event, so it's too child's play to settle like this, right?" He has been in awe of his father since he was a child, and rarely argues with his father, but under the eyes of his daughter asking for help, this father also let go.
"Hmph!" The old man glared at his son angrily again: "Let's discuss and think about it again? Do you agree to discuss it again? Don't think I don't know what you think in your heart, although you don't say it in your mouth, but you don't want to set up this family affair in your heart, right? You have always paid attention to what is right and don't want to marry your daughter to the countryside, right? So you would rather marry your daughter into the Jiang family's poisonous snake den!"
The old man scolded him, he was already very afraid of his father, and now he had to bow his head and dare not speak.
Li'er was about to cry, and she shouted: "Have you asked our opinion beforehand? One will ask us to marry this family, and the other will ask us to marry that family, grandpa, we will not marry!"
"Yes, my sister is right, we won't marry! If you dare to force me to marry, hmph, I will run away from home! Let you regret it for the rest of your life!"
The two sisters chirped and threatened, but when they saw that it was hard, they immediately changed to a soft attack: "Grandpa, don't force us to marry, okay, we have to accompany grandpa for the rest of our ......lives."
"Grandpa, are you really willing to let us run away from home......?
"Grandpa......"
"Grandpa......"
"Girls have to get married when they grow up! Grandpa will choose the best family for you, be good and obedient! Grandpa is for your good!"
"Grandpa!" the two sisters screamed together, "what age is this, you still have an arranged marriage! We're going to find a boyfriend we like in the future!"
When the old man heard this, he became angry, and he shouted angrily:
"What? Find a boyfriend by yourself? Do you have a crush on that stinky boy of the Jiang family? I have said before, unless I die, you don't want to have anything to do with that long worm nest! What is wrong with an arranged marriage? You don't have to spend any effort on yourself, you have your elders to help you arrange everything, and you should be happy to find a good husband for nothing.
Back then, your grandmother and your grandmother, your father and your mother were not arranged by the elders? We have not all lived in harmony for a lifetime. If your grandma is still alive, I don't have to be a lonely old man who hates dogs, and you don't appreciate anything......"
As he spoke, he began to have red circles under his eyes and wiped his tears. Both Momo and Apricot knew Grandpa's temper, and whenever he mentioned his deceased wife, he would wipe his tears and nag like this, and when he started the topic, the sisters stopped talking.
While the Hua family was having a family debate, Wang Junkai quietly pulled his father to the back room, frowned and asked, "Dad, what's going on?"
The royal father pointed to the flower family outside and stammered, "They ...... They, they said you saved the two girls in his family, and they came to repay the favor. ”
Wang Jun lowered his voice: "I'm asking about 'Xu Match'!"
"Old man Hua said that I like you very much, such a kind and simple, hard-working and filial child, and I want to marry my granddaughter to you. As soon as he remembered the words of others praising his son, the royal father was very proud.
"Dad, I'm only three months old and fifteen years old, you won't be so anxious to let me marry a daughter-in-law, will you? And they, they ......" Wang Junkai was so anxious that he almost blurted out the terrifying fact that "they are not human".
