Chapter 2 Unwillingness
Mother Li returned home, changed into fine cotton clothes, looked at the big hole on the cuffs of the thick clothes, and felt distressed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
She was sloppy and at a loss for what to do. You have to take care of your face, and you can't go outside and find someone to help sew. Therefore, her only face-saving dress is gone. I didn't have a good impression of Luo Erya in my heart, and I had a strong sense of disgust and resentment.
"Son, I look at the second girl of the Luo family with immature faces, cowardice, and will definitely not be able to take on the responsibility of the housewife. Let's find someone else. ”
Li Xianren was bent on Luo Erya, and his heart was still beating at this time.
Listening to his mother's words, he was secretly anxious, but his face was not obvious: "Mother, the second girl of the Luo family is beautiful, pure and good-natured, filial and capable, and has an excellent reputation in the village. If her son marries her, her mother will not have to work all day in the future, but only enjoy the filial piety of her daughter-in-law. Moreover, my mother also said that she is still young, and even if she is not stable now, she will definitely be able to grow up under her mother's discipline in the future. ”
Mother Li's hand folded her clothes for a moment, and when she saw her son's expression, she knew that he had recognized Luo Erya. frowned and went through the little girls to be married in ten miles and eight towns, there was really nothing like the girl of the Luo family.
Thinking about it again, Luo Erya has a beautiful face, bright eyes, and is a clever person. In the future, she will be able to teach her well. It's a big deal, when his son Phoenix Tengda will give up and marry again.
Besides, my son is twenty years old this year, and all the children his age are running all over the ground. I felt guilty in my heart, and I couldn't help but say: "Let's go, let's go, let's go." If you like it, let her be. However, today the proposed relatives went out on a business trip, and the gifts were returned. We need to rethink and come to the door another day. ”
Li Xianren's returned pork diaphragm should be enough to choke, and he secretly said that the gift given by the Luo family was too light: "Mother, add more silver hairpins when you go next time." ”
Mother Li was also troubled when she looked at the pork, "The silver hairpin is free, six catties of pork is already a heavy gift, and the silver hairpin is over." When the time comes, the bride will be pampered and arrogant and disobey discipline. ”
"Okay, listen to my mother. ”
Mother Li saw that her son relied on herself for everything, and she couldn't help but sigh while being satisfied.
Luo's family, Luo Erya quickly made lunch and put it on the table, the younger brother Luo Yaojie broke the gong and howled, and the eldest brother Luo Yaozu, who was nesting in the room to hatch the chicks, came out listlessly.
"Why is it stir-fried sweet potato vegetables and gruel? Didn't the Li family take a big piece of pork when they came to propose?" Luo Yaozu turned the sweet potato vegetable plate upside down with chopsticks, and shouted dissatisfiedly: "This is to feed the pigs, and I eat the leaves every day! I won't eat it! Mother, I want to eat meat!"
Luo's mother was distressed when she saw that her eldest son was angry and smashed his chopsticks, and hurriedly scolded Luo Erya: "You are a dead girl and a white-eyed wolf, don't you see that Da Lang can't eat?
Luo Erya slowly picked the sweet potato seedlings, "The vegetables are verdant, smell fragrant, and eat refreshingly, why can't you eat?"
"That's it, I also think that the second sister's dish is delicious, and I can't eat enough every day. Luo Yaojie has long been tired of seeing his mother accommodating his eldest brother, lazy and delicious, and often bullying himself by relying on being taller than him. If you can't win a fight, you will sue. And the mother will scold herself every time without asking the reason.
"What's the matter with you!" Luo Yaozu saw that Luo Yaojie dared to speak to himself like this, and couldn't help but stare at him: "Mother, you don't care about the second brother!"
The eldest son was wronged, and he couldn't bear to accuse the younger son, so he fired at Luo Erya: "You are a dead man! The old lady can't even call you? Why don't you go and cook pork quickly, there are nails on the bench to nail your ass, and you can't get up?"
Luo Erya continued to pick up vegetables, filling her stomach is the key: "Mother, I returned the pork." ”
"What!" Luo Mu's voice was sharp, and she picked up the bench and smashed it on Luo Erya. Luo Erya jumped away quickly, the bench smashed to the corner of the table, and the porridge on the table splashed out of the soup basin and floated to Luo Yaozu's face, making him scream.
Luo's mother was stunned: "You still dare to hide?!You ruined girl, white-eyed wolf, you can't raise it well! What a big piece of meat is that, you are so generous, you dare to ask me and I will be returned! Now that there is no meat to eat, cut your meat and cook it to eat?"
Luo Erya scolded and didn't reply, nor did she explain, bouncing and playing a game of cat and mouse with Luo's mother. But he didn't want Luo Yaozu to be angry with Luo Erya for returning his meat, so he didn't have meat to eat, so he helped Luo's mother catch Luo Erya and let Luo's mother beat her to her heart's content.
Luo Erya was so painful that tears floated out, Yaya's Luo Yaozu is the real white-eyed wolf. Luo Mu's twisting technique is different from others, the gesture is tricky, is to use the index finger and middle finger together to clamp a small piece of tender meat and pinch it hard, and then turn it twice hard. Guaranteed that a pinch mark will last for several days!
Luo's mother was addicted, and her anger was not finished, but she didn't forget to turn around and coax Luo Yaozu to eat, her baby son couldn't be hungry. Later, when my son is full, I will settle accounts with this dead girl!
At this time, Luo Yaozu knew that he couldn't eat meat, so he reluctantly picked up the porridge bowl, drank a few sips indiscriminately, and then dropped the bowl and went back to the room to sleep. The son ate less, and Luo's mother was so distressed that she twitched. I couldn't help but count Luo Erya again.
Luo Yaojie still couldn't stand it: "Mother, the eldest brother has eaten a lot, and he will see the bottom of a big bowl of porridge in a few bites." And he sleeps at home and doesn't do anything, he can't starve him!"
Luo's mother was reluctant to beat her youngest son, but she still glared at him. Without him, the second daughter and youngest son both look like mother-in-law, and they are born to be incompatible with her!
"Dad, mother, I won't marry Li Xianren. ”
"What?!, do you have to tell me again?"
Luo's father lifted his eyelids and still smoked hookah silently. Luo Mu jumped up, angrily pointing at Luo Erya's fingers and trembling slightly, which showed that she was angry.
"I don't marry Lee Hyun-in. ”
"When you grow up, your wings are stiff? If you don't marry, you won't marry? The old lady told you that since ancient times, marriage has been the order of your parents. If the old lady asks you to marry, you have to marry, there is no reason for you to choose!"
"Mother, tell me what is the benefit of me marrying Li Xianren to you?" Luo Erya understands that Luo's mother is the master who does not profit and does not get up early, and she still has maternal love for her eldest son and younger son, and she is also good for her eldest daughter, but she doesn't care about herself at all.
"The Li family is a talented man, and he doesn't have to pay taxes on his family's fields. And he is a good scholar, and he will definitely be crowned a marquis and worship the prime minister in the next year's examination. In the future, I will be able to pull your brother and them a hand. ”
Luo Erya sneered, yes, Li Xianren's knowledge is good, but he also needs his family to have the financial resources for him to go to Beijing to take the exam. In his previous life, he relied on himself day and night, weaving, tailoring, embroidering, and embroidering for more than half a year before he was entangled in Beijing to catch the exam. If he doesn't marry him in this life, what will he do to catch the exam. Is it enough to sell land? His family cage is only one acre and three points of land, which is not enough.
Besides, the Li family has many unsympathetic people, and when he Li Xianren gains power, he will immediately get rid of a group of poor relatives. If you want to touch his light, it is difficult to go to the sky. However, the Li family is accustomed to superficial work, so everyone in the village praises them for their benevolence and righteousness. It's hard to convince my mother to dispel the idea of marrying the Li family.
"Mother, what you said just now is false. Think about the benefits that can be touched, how much can the Li family give you? ”
Luo Mu snorted, "Isn't it that we haven't talked about it yet?" The Li family has a big business, and the bride price must be indispensable for the old lady. ”
"The family is big and the business is big, and the rich come to the door to propose marriage to the son and wear the old silk clothes that will be worn out when they are wiped out? ”
Luo Mu couldn't hold it on her face, she was obviously frightened just now, but now she found something wrong when she thought about it carefully.
Although she has never worn a silk dress in her life, she has touched a lot of satin, and her tenacity has improved.
However, just one piece of clothing can't say that the Li family is in trouble. So she still stuck to her own opinions.
"It's your hairy hands and feet that tear it off, silk is different from cotton linen, and you can't help but tear it. ”
Luo Erya laughed and didn't expose her.
"Your daughter's beauty and moon appearance are among the best in a hundred miles, and the gift money is indispensable. Not to mention the bride price. Niang first counted how many talents and how many people were lifted in our village?
"There are three talents in our village, and there are no lifters. I don't know how many talents there are in the town, but there are several, and I haven't heard anyone except the county order. ”
"That's it, it's easy to take the show, but it's difficult to lift people. Even though he Li Xiucai is only eight years old, who can say for sure when he will be promoted? If he wants to find an official and a half-job, he will not be able to do it in the year of the monkey. If you have that kung fu, it is better to supervise the eldest brother and younger brother, and teach them to also take the test to show their talents and glorify their ancestors. ”
Luo's mother was stupid, and she was led astray all of a sudden: "Can Yaozu and Yaojie do it?" It's not that she doesn't have confidence, it's really that Luo's ancestors are full of mud legs, and they don't know a single big character. In Luo's father's generation, there are only a few people who have studied in private school for a few years. And Luo Yaozu is only spoiled by her, and Luo Yaojie is too young.
"Yes, I must be able to!" For herself, and for the sake of twisting Luo Yaozu's temperament, she said crooked words with a clear conscience: "Mother, look, Yaozu reads so smoothly, and Mr. used to praise him for being smart." yes, Yaojie. ”
Luo Yaojie didn't know what dumb riddles the second sister played, but he still habitually cooperated: "Yes, mother." Our husband always praised the eldest brother for his cleverness, and said that as long as he studied diligently, he would definitely have a future success. It's just that he's too lazy and disobedient. ”
The corners of Luo Erya's eyes twitched, little brat, I really don't forget to sue when and where.
Luo Mu didn't care about the second half of the sentence, but after listening to the first half of the sentence, she smiled: "I'll just say that our ancestor looks like me, with a big head and a big head, and he must be a smart baby, and he will have a great future in the future." No, I'll tell him to read, but he can't fish for three days and dry his nets for two days. ”
Luo Yaozu's dissatisfied muttering and Luo's mother's bitter persuasion soon came from the room.
At this time, Luo Erya turned her gaze to Luo's father. Father Luo is silent, if he wants, he can really be an invisible person at home, and he can't feel his existence if he doesn't pay attention.
I twisted my eyebrows and thought about it for a long time, but I didn't know how to speak. It's been two lifetimes, and there are only a handful of things she has said to her father.
After hesitating for a long time, he muttered for a long time before he said, "Dad, my daughter doesn't want to marry Li Xianren." ”
"Hmm. ”
Hmm? What does it mean? Agree or disagree? Luo Erya looked at her father who was buried in the smoke with his eyes slightly closed, half-asleep, and listened to the gurgling of the hookah, a little helpless, and a little irritable. The volume unconsciously raised: "Father, I said, I don't want to marry Li Xianren!"
"Hmm. ”
Luo Erya wanted to cry without tears, tugged at the corners of her clothes, and paced back to the room.
And the Li family is going in and out to do the bride price, looking for a matchmaker, and they are busy and busy. Grandma Li said that she had fallen in love with a well-behaved and sensible daughter, and she wanted to be a daughter-in-law for her eldest grandson.
As a result, the news that the Li family and the Luo family were going to marry spread all over Qinghe Village overnight. The big girls who were Simula were sad, and the big girls who admired Li Xianren were jealous and unwilling.
The next morning, Luo Erya had just driven the ducks to the river and was about to go to the hillside to cut pigweed, when Luo Caiyue called out.
"Luo Erya, you stop!"
Luo Caiyue is the youngest granddaughter of the village chief's family, who was pampered and raised since childhood, and is quite arrogant and rude, and generally disdains to talk to people. And Luo Erya is one of the people she disdains, because Luo Erya has endless work to do every day, and she never wears new clothes.
"What's the matter?"
"Are you going to marry Brother Li?" said that, her eyes were slightly red, her nose twitched, and she wanted to cry but endured it. She likes Big Brother Li and wants to marry him.
Luo Erya frowned slightly, "I won't marry him." ”
"You liar! The aunt of the Li family is looking for a matchmaker to go to your house to propose marriage. Moreover, Grandma Li told the villagers that you are the granddaughter-in-law chosen by her family, and she will marry you on the selected auspicious day. As she spoke, she cried, her little nose was red, and her mouth was flat and two small pear vortices were squeezed out.
Crying so beautifully made Luo Erya couldn't help but laugh. I want to help her wipe her tears, but I'm afraid that she will dislike her coarse cloth handkerchief.
"Don't cry, good. The Li family went to my house yesterday to propose......"
"What?" Luo Caiyue was excited, her eyes were full of grievances and anger, as if Luo Erya had bullied her.
Luo Erya helplessly supported her forehead: "My family didn't agree." ”
"You lied to me again, why didn't you agree to why the Li family still prepared a bride price. Woo-woo-"
"I don't know why the Li family acted like this, but my family did reject his family. Luo Erya was angry, and her tone was a little stern: "Do you like Li Xianren?"
Luo Caiyue was secretly happy, and she was a little wary when she heard the words.
"I don't like him, if you like him, do me a favor. ”
"What?"
Luo Erya whispered to her, and Luo Caiyue left with a smile. But Luo Erya stood in place, his expression dark.
