Chapter 775: Relatives
When people in the countryside get married, they pay attention to a lively and lively life. Even if someone says something explicit at the banquet, the host will not blame it, and there are some local customs, the more noisy the wedding, the happier the host's family is. There are even some places where there is a custom of making a bride, and the bride is embarrassed and even turns her face.
Zhou Yuanyuan let go of his divine sense and walked around the next door, hoping to hear any useful information or see someone related to the eighth uncle.
Today's Yuan Sixi family gathers most of the people from Taoshu Village. The three daughters-in-law of the eighth uncle also had a banquet at Yuan Sixi's house. The customs of the countryside are like this, whether it is a red thing or a white thing, the whole village will go out, either to help or to eat, and the scene will be lively.
There were a few women chatting while eating.
"Hey, Yuan Sixi is really lucky this time, he found such a tender daughter-in-law, and he has been a bachelor for so many years, and in the end, the old cow still eats tender grass. After the first half of the year, I also asked Yuan Sixi to find a daughter-in-law for the third child of our family to come back. An old woman with triangular eyes said.
"Aunt Yu, fresh and tender is useful, in our countryside, being able to work and give birth is a sought-after commodity. An obese woman in her thirties straightened her big boobs and replied disdainfully.
"Dali Niang, we have so much work all day long, and women also have to be men, and they really still need a strong daughter-in-law like you. The Sixi family, at first glance, has never done any work, and I don't know if I will serve Sixi's wife!" Aunt Yu looked at Daliniang's sturdy body, and her eyes were a little hot. The third child in her family, it must be good to be able to marry a daughter-in-law like Daliniang, but this is not a poor family! The daughter-in-law who bought it back can not be picked by herself.
"Potato Niang, your mother-in-law went out of the village two days ago? What's the urgency? Don't even spend the New Year at home?" Seeing that Aunt Yu was talking, Dali Niang praised herself a little proudly, and led the topic to the little daughter-in-law who was sitting next to her and was about the same age as her.
Zhou Yuanyuan recognized that the thirty-year-old daughter-in-law who was called the potato lady was the little daughter-in-law of the eighth uncle.
"My mother-in-law's nephew sent a telegram, saying that there was an urgent matter and asked my mother-in-law to live in Qingshan City for a few days. Potato Niang saw that there were too many meanings in Daliniang's words, so she had to explain simply, otherwise, tomorrow the people of the entire Peachtree Village might think that the three brothers in their family were not filial to the old lady, and let the old lady go out for the New Year.
"Potato Niang, your mother-in-law is really wide-faced, and there are relatives living in Qingshan City?" Aunt Yu glanced at Potato Niang enviously. In Peachtree Village, the eighth uncle is a highly respected existence, and the potato lady, as the eighth uncle's daughter-in-law, is not less touched by the light of the eighth uncle.
"My mother-in-law's nephew, we don't know very well. The potato lady replied vaguely. I didn't dare to say too much. When the eighth uncle received a telegram a few days ago, she went to Qingshan City in a hurry, and she didn't explain her words clearly before leaving, but just said that one of her maiden nephews had fallen ill in Qingshan City, and asked her to help take care of her for a few days.
The eighth uncle and mother-in-law have a high rank in the village, and they are all in a hurry when they talk and do things, and no son and daughter-in-law at home dare to disobey her, the eighth uncle and mother-in-law left in a hurry, and she didn't explain anything clearly, of course the potato lady didn't dare to talk nonsense in front of the villagers.
Seeing that Potato Niang couldn't ask anything here, Dali Niang and Aunt Yu gradually diverted the topic.
Zhou Yuanyuan heard what he wanted to hear, and did not continue to pay attention to Yuan Sixi's family. Eighth uncle here, let's find a chance to come over in the future!
Zhou Yuanyuan withdrew his divine sense, took Lawen Ziqing's hand, and said, "Brother Ziqing, let's go back!"
"Good. Wen Ziqing saw that Zhou Yuanyuan stood quietly for a while, and then planned to go home, so he hurriedly responded. Wen Ziqing was really afraid that Zhou Yuanyuan would not be in good shape and would make trouble in Peachtree Village. Although Wen Ziqing is not afraid of things, it is a rare date time for the two, and Wen Ziqing doesn't want to waste it like this.
"Yuanyuan, shall we go to Zhaojiagou for a few days? Go to Daqing Mountain to catch grouse, or go to Sanhe Town to catch the market?" Wen Ziqing thought about it with great interest. After returning to Kyoto City, Wen Ziqing had very little time to see Zhou Yuanyuan, and even if she saw a figure, she didn't have much time to be alone. Wen Ziqing, who "eats marrow and knows the taste", thinks about Zhou Yuanyuan's red little mouth all day long, and her heart is itchy.
If there are no conditions, conditions must be created, Wen Ziqing for his own "welfare", strive to turn Zhou Yuanyuan away from his family.
"Okay, good!" Zhou Yuanyuan raised his hand in approval, not at all conscious of being remembered by the "little hooligan" Wen Ziqing. For Zhou Yuanyuan, Zhao Jiagou is full of good memories of her childhood, catching grouse and visiting the market are Zhou Yuanyuan's favorite things to do when he was a child, and the tranquility of Zhao Jiagou is also what Zhou Yuanyuan, who has just advanced at this time, needs. It's rare to be free, and it's good to go back to Zhaojiagou to live for a few days.
Zhao Jiagou, Gu Da Niang's house.
Today is the third day of the Lunar New Year, and early in the morning, Zheng Qiulian, the daughter-in-law of Aunt Gu, made a "ding ding" sound in the kitchen.
In the bedroom, Aunt Gu sat up from the bed and sighed heavily.
Zhao Mingjiang, a man from Gu Da Niang's family, sat on a small stool in front of the bed and smoked a dry tobacco, making a "zilazila" sound.
"Hello, it's useless!" Aunt Gu sighed.
"Huixiang, the eldest daughter-in-law is not happy, your nephew, let him move out after the eighth day of the new year!
"Old man, I know that we are too old to be the master at home. But my mother's family is left with three iron pillars. This is the New Year, their house is about to collapse, and they can't find anyone to help repair it, they will live in our house for a while, and they will move out after the house is repaired, and it won't take more than two months before and after, it's not too much, right?" Aunt Gu wiped a handful of tears, and her voice was choked.
"Huixiang, I know, I know, you have worked hard to marry me all these years. But now we have to rely on the old family to support us, the eldest daughter-in-law is not happy, we have no problem! I knew that our family funds should not be handed over to the eldest couple so early, and we would give it back on the day we closed our eyes. Alas······" Craftsman Zhao sighed.
Speaking of this incident, it is the one thing that Mrs. Gu and her husband regret the most.
Zhao Mingjiang has a hand of craftsmanship, when he was young, he made no less money, and the villagers of ten miles and eight townships, the mat at home is broken or wants to buy a few pieces of bamboo household utensils, and Zhao Mingjiang must come to the door.
Relying on this craft, the family background of Zhao Ming's craftsman family is quite rich in Zhaojiagou, and Gu Damiang has given birth to two sons and two daughters in her life, all of whom have been brought up, which is a very remarkable thing in the countryside where the infant mortality rate is very high at that time.
