Zhu Yanmei saw that the Li family seemed to be listening, so she said again: "Now you only say that she is young and not afraid of fame, but if Hongzhu is so worried about the difficulties in her family and is not in a hurry to get married, she just wants to earn money for Wen Han to study, but if she wants to wait until Wen Han is born, how young will she be? This scientific examination is not an easy task, a smart person like my third brother, but because there is no money and silver in the family and no connections in the official face, he will be mistaken in life...... This time, didn't you also delay the red beads? Third sister-in-law, the red beads are also your own birth. โ
Li was stunned, and when she said this, it was as if she really cared for her son and mistakenly missed the red beads.
Zhu Yanmei looked at her carefully, and suddenly said solemnly: "In fact, this is all about having no money at home." It is difficult to leave and right, it is better to find a good family for Hongzhu to marry earlier, and the two will help each other in the future, and the third sister-in-law can also save some effort. โ
The Li family is a little unclear, so if Hongzhu marries earlier, she will be able to ...... Solve the dilemma?
After listening to Hongzhu's words, she already understood what Zhu Yanmei had in mind. Thinking back at this time, Zhu Yanmei praised her for her good looks as soon as she came, which was a little inappropriate. Fang Cai deliberately curryed favor with the Li family, and he really looked sincere, if it weren't for Hongzhu's never disliked her, he was afraid that he would be deceived by her.
Zhu Yanmei saw that the Li family was moved, so she continued: "In my opinion, Hongzhu has a good appearance, a dignified temperament, such a talented character, marrying into a big family to be a young grandmother is a good thing!
Hongzhu sneered in her belly, although she didn't know what Zhu Yanmei had to say to her for a while, but she didn't want to listen to it. She laughed and only said, "Auntie can really understand this, my mother and I have remembered this in our hearts, and thank you a lot." And said neatly: "Okay, I still have filial piety here, and I'm afraid that my father will talk about me in his dreams." โ
When Cheng Guitang was suddenly mentioned like this, Zhu Yanmei's expression froze, "Your father also thinks about your good, and he won't mind ...... future."
Li also agreed with Zhu Yanmei's words at the beginning, but now his face showed some guilt, and he only said that he shouldn't.
"Of course my dad thinks I'm good. Hongzhu replied coldly and glanced at Zhu Yanmei, "He can protect me." If anyone harms me, he will know. โ
The ancients still believed in ghosts and gods.
It was Zhu Yanmei herself, who was also a little flustered for a while, but she quickly calmed down, it was not her concern, but her mother asked her to come over and try to ask, she still wanted to see Jiang's jokes. only smiled and said: "I also said the same, after all, I still have to think about my sister-in-law." It's Hongzhu, and you're a smart one, aren't you? After that, he took a deep look at Hongzhu and left.
After Li washed the dishes and chopsticks and brushed the pot, Hongzhu went back to the room with her, still thinking about Zhu Yanmei's actions in her heart, as if this person was testing something. Looking back, Li Shi was still pondering, and couldn't help frowning and asked: "Mother, I don't know who my aunt wants to sell me to, can't you hear it? What a good family, what is for the Cheng family, it can't be separated from the word money! Could it be that you really want to buy me for money?"
Li Shi was stunned for a moment, and then he was angry and funny, "What nonsense are you talking about? I am just one of your daughters, even if I sell myself, I will never sell you." After thinking about it, he said: "Don't think about people in a bad way, your aunt didn't say anything just now, if there is really such a good family, it doesn't hurt to order it for you." โ
Hongzhu knew her mother's temperament, and only said at the moment: "Mother, like her aunt and others, she is a high-minded person, and she also thinks about others." She thinks it's good, maybe others think it's bad, you have to believe her in a few words, and when you look back, you regret it. โ
Li sighed, "It's really stupid for your mother! If I don't inquire clearly, I will easily settle down." And he said, "Don't worry, your mother knows what to do." โ
Hongzhu was a little relieved, but when she thought about it, she felt that it was very strange. Don't...... What are her mother's plans?
Cheng Wenhan on the side was half-understood, and only said: "Who wants to sell my sister?" After that, he said seriously with a cold face: "That's definitely not good." โ
Hongzhu smiled happily when she saw that Li and Cheng Wenhan were protecting her. No matter what Zhu Yanmei wants, she just shouldn't be. Suddenly, she remembered her doubts before, and asked her younger brother if there was anything going on in the Zhu family today.
Cheng Wenhan thought about it left and right, but he didn't think of anything, touched his head and said embarrassedly: "Sister, I'm a little sleepy from reading, so I rested for a while." โ
Hongzhu naturally didn't blame him when he heard it, but persuaded him: "If you have been reading for a long time, you should go out for activities, and you can't hurt your eyes." โ
Cheng Wenhan nodded obediently.
Before going to bed at night, Hongzhu somehow remembered Zhu Yanmei's expression and words when she mentioned her father...... I thought about falling asleep, and then I had a dream for half the night.
First of all, I dreamed that when she first came here, she was flustered and didn't know what to do, and her body was so sick that she lay on the bed for several days and didn't dare to speak, but begged God to worship the Buddha and let her go back quickly.
Later, I somehow dreamed of the day of her father Cheng Guitang's accident, I remember that it had just passed the New Year, the weather was still very cold, she was weak at the beginning of her serious illness, and she slept wrapped in two thick quilts at night. Suddenly, someone hurriedly knocked on the door in the middle of the night, and then the yard was noisy, and there were all kinds of noises......
Something happened, something happened......
Somehow, the person who found out that her father had an accident went to the Zhu family first, thinking that although his father's surname was Cheng, in the eyes of the neighbors, he was still the son of the Zhu family. When Hongzhu cleaned up and came out in a panic, she saw her second uncle Zhu Guifang carrying the door panel and sending his father in.
Hongzhu saw the blood all over the door panel at that time, her legs were weak, and she didn't dare to step forward.
In the dream, her mother Li still didn't care, and when she saw the situation, she fainted. Her younger brother Cheng Wenhan was too young, and he could only cry with a pale face, but in the end, it was her second uncle Zhu Guifang who was able to do it, and he went to ask for a doctor and take medicine in person...... On the second day, the second uncle also bought a good ginseng......
At that time, Hongzhu set her mind to take care of her father, and she was really grateful to him when she saw the second uncle so much. But in the dream right now, somehow, when Hongzhu took the ginseng, her eyes widened and she stared at Zhu Guifang.
Hongzhu didn't come up with a reason, and she woke up in a dream that her father closed his eyes. Looking back and thinking about it again, the dream was also vague, she sighed secretly, and said in her heart, could it be that her father really didn't talk about it, this one mentioned to Zhu Yanmei, and she dreamed of him when she turned around. It's a shame that she doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, and she doesn't do anything bad, and she doesn't be afraid much.
She got up and wiped her sweat carelessly, then turned around and fell asleep again.
On the second day, Hongzhu woke up and felt tired, so she lay down for a while. When Li also woke up, she followed. Hongzhu thought that Zhu Biyun's matter was solved, and the Li family would not have to stay at home.
Li still remembered that the Zhu family still had patients and injuries, and Hongzhu knew that she must have been called by someone to stay at home, and it was hard work to leave and right, so it was better to go to the store. She persuaded her: "Mother, that restaurant is a partnership between the two families after all, where can only the second uncle and the second uncle work hard every day." I don't think it's tight, it won't be able to open before the Chinese New Year, and the second aunt doesn't know how anxious she is. โ
When Li heard her say this, he felt a little uncomfortable, so he said, "I'll make breakfast, so I'll go to the store with you." Cheng Wenhan woke up and said, "I'm going to help too." โ
Hongzhu agreed very much, made breakfast and ate it in a hurry, and when she saw Zhu Biyun getting up, she explained to her, and without waiting for Zhu Biyun to reply, the three of them hurriedly went to the restaurant together.
When the three of them arrived at the restaurant, they saw that not only did Second Uncle Li and Zhong arrive early, but even their son Li Nanxing had also arrived.
Li Shi hadn't seen Li Nanxing for a long time, and was a little surprised, "Nanxing, this kid has grown so tall!" Hongzhu also looked over and called, "Cousin Nanxing." โ
Li Nanxing nodded a little awkwardly, didn't speak, and went over to look at the layout of the store, as if he was fascinated.
Hongzhu was stunned for a moment, faintly wanting to laugh.
This Li Nanxing is thirteen or fourteen years old, because he has been reading and writing for many years and has worked less, although he is a young man in his prime, he is slightly slender, and his face is fair-skinned and a little more literal, which is only one or two percent similar to the thick appearance of Second Uncle Li.
Since Cheng Guitang died, Li Nanxing changed schools and worked harder and harder in his homework, even if Hongzhu went to the early stall to help in the past two years, he rarely had the opportunity to see him. In fact, Hongzhu's original body didn't have much memory of this cousin, or because Cheng Wenhan happened to be in the same school as him, Hongzhu went to ask him to take care of his younger brother when he was serious about it.
After contact in the past two years, Hongzhu also felt that Li Nanxing had a quiet temperament, and sometimes he seemed too wooden.
But Li liked him from the bottom of her heart, saying that he was calm and honest, and his demeanor was gentle and decent, and at that moment she ignored Li Nanxing's thoughts and asked him a lot of words with a smile. Hongzhu was going to remind her, but it can be seen that Li Nanxing endured his temperament to answer, but he felt funny, and seeing that Li was happy to say it, he went with her.
The two families were very busy, and it took most of the day to clean up the shop and kitchen room. Now the wall in front of it has been painted, and the layout of the counter has also been changed, and the whole store has a seventy or eighty appearance.
Hongzhu looked around, only to feel so happy in his heart, and secretly looked forward to the lively appearance in the future.
The plaque in the store had already found the master to order the materials, but before the name was decided, Li Cheng and the six of them discussed it together. Zhong thought that his son was now a scholar, and he was naturally more capable of choosing such a name, so he asked him with a smile, "Xing'er, what do you say is the name of our store?"
Hongzhu and Cheng Wenhan couldn't help but glance at each other when they heard this, and stared at Li Nanxing with interest, waiting for him to answer.
