Chapter 29 Widowhood and Marriage
Moreover, after the land reform, the villagers who had no land or had little land were all given land, and the atmosphere in the village changed greatly. The people who were assigned the house and the land were happy in their hearts, and the family was happy to move and work in the fields. If there is a lot of labor in the family, it will not take much effort to do the work, but if there are few young men, it will be difficult to ask for help with a smile, especially during the sowing or harvesting season. There is no man in the family, and her mother-in-law and her are living with five children, which is really difficult.
After dinner that day, the mother-in-law said to her daughter-in-law: "Qing'er, you are still young, or you can recruit one, there is no Han family in this house." "It's easy to say. We have a lot of babies, and we don't have any foundation, who wants to jump into this fire pit. "Well, I'm talking to you well, you're so energetic. "What are you talking about, what are you talking about, don't you dare to say it well, how can you say it well." ”
"Alas," the mother-in-law glanced at Qing'er and continued: "It's true that we have a lot of babies, but there are three women, the women will change when they are older, and there will be a little kid left, so what are you afraid of." "Say it briskly. But whether it's a woman or a child, you have to feed up. Who wants to raise it for you?" "Hehe, alas, the baby won't be tormented when it's older, and the bride price of the three women won't find a daughter-in-law for the kid." "Hehe, you'll settle accounts. Far water doesn't quench your thirst. It's not easy to raise a few babies alone. "What you said, we don't have a way?" "Let's talk slowly, one day is two and a half days." ”
"Alas, Qing'er, the mud and water in this house depend on you. "It's good to know. "You let me finish my sentence. "You said yours, but it didn't stop you. "You're young. "It's hard to live, but what should I say? "Well, in the future, you will be in charge of this family, and you can do whatever you think." "If you're afraid to bother, just take care of it, but you can say that you're bullying you." "Oh, our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law depend on each other, who bullies whom." I said that I would let you be in charge, not that I was afraid of bothering. Let you take care of it, and you also have a heart. I'm old, and I can't take care of it anymore. ”
"The forehead tube is the forehead tube, and there is no tube, and I can't see through it at a glance in this room, what is there. "Ah, too. If you work in the house and in the field, I will guide you to the baby and cook. "Yes, if you can rest assured, you can take care of it, who will teach you to live hard." "Those who are bitter or not have to live day by day. "We have nothing to take care of in this small family. "Alas. ”
In this way, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked about it, and the daughter-in-law Qing'er was in charge of this family. Since Qing'er gave birth to her grandson, her heart has been high, and her temper is also good at home, and she has no good face at every turn. In the words of the Zhuang people, they speak neatly, without negotiation and warmth. In this regard, the mother-in-law has a lot of feelings. Especially after the father-in-law died, he didn't take his mother-in-law seriously.
In fact, there is another reason why Qiao'er wants to tell her daughter-in-law about this, but she didn't say it explicitly. On weekdays, Qing'er goes to work in the field, and it is her mother-in-law who leads the baby in the house. Fortunately, Qiao'er and Mingwa, the old sisters, have not walked crookedly, and when the farm was busy, Mingwa also sent the baby's house over to help Qing'er. But distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, Qing'er often calls the child next door or the Yongwa at the door to take a hand.
It is often said that there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door. If you have a family and a mouth, naturally others will not say anything, but this Yongwa is different, a big man with two small children, and people are more enthusiastic, so it also leads to some gossip. Some people say that Yongwa has seen Qing'er, but she is diligent, and she arrives as soon as she shouts, and the two of them are eyebrow-raising. Some people also said that Qing'er wanted to use the white envoy to call Yongwa to help her work or something. These gossips naturally reached the ears of Qing'er's mother-in-law, so Qiao'er talked to her daughter-in-law. But Qing'er didn't break out, and Qiao'er didn't say anything more, because she also understood the widow's difficulty.
As for what Yongwa is thinking, Qiao'er, that is, Qing'er's mother-in-law, thinks that she can guess eight or nine. Yongwa was originally a foreigner and was recruited in her early years, so it can be said that she has been bullied a lot in the village over the years. Maybe it's for this reason that this person slowly becomes introverted and doesn't talk much anymore, but he still does things in his heart. Yongwa has said several times in front of Qiao'er and Qing'er that Hong'er, this woman is not crooked. That is to say, Yongwa saw the eldest daughter of the Qing'er family and wanted to say it to his family, but he didn't say it explicitly. Although he guessed Yongwa's thoughts, he also pretended to be confused, so he took advantage of this and often called Yongwa to help with the work.
These things were seen by a tiger and tiger's wife at the door, that is, Pian Er. She and Huhu don't have a son and a half daughter, and they also want to settle down near Lin'er, so that when something happens, the big guy can help her, because she understands that Huhu is not popular in the village, so she has to rely on her to do something good for others.
At noon that day, when Pian Er saw Yongwa at home, he ran and said: "The eldest daughter of Shangqing'er's family is not crooked, but the baby is still young, so she will follow her mother to work in the mud and water." "Ah, from a young age, this daughter is not crooked. "This Qing'er also has a kid. Changwa Dad, this good woman is cheaper than outsiders, hehe. "Oh, outside, please ask your aunt to tell Ejia Changwa a daughter-in-law." "You're also on it?" "Ah, it's all at the door, and you know the roots." "The door is at the door, but the rules have to be wanted, and the baby's family is wronged." "Aunt baby, don't worry. This person is also very simple, and he will go to your house in a while, and invite you as a matchmaker. "Alright, wait. The two said a few more words, and then went back.
In the second half of the day, that is, when the tiger returned home, Yongwa ran to Pian'er's house with five eggs with a hand towel. "Huhu, in the house. Well, the wind is blowing you. "Oh, that's not it, they're all neighbors, don't you dare to come." "Haha, sit. "Daddy Changwa is here. "Well, this is a little heart, so please come out as an aunt. "What's the horse?"
"Oh, brother, I have seen the red child of Qing'er's family, let my brother and daughter-in-law talk about it. "Oh, that's it. "It's coming, it's all coming at the same door, and I don't know if it's going to be done." "If you don't have a CD in two clicks, you can't ask someone for help after all. "That's fine. I will accept the amount, and I will go over there and talk about it. "Well, sorry for the trouble. "You're welcome. "Ah, then I'll go back, and I'll cook for the same amount." "Oh, then you walk slowly. "Hmm. ”
After Yongwa left, Huhu smiled and said, "You are still a matchmaker." Then, scramble this egg, drink two cups first. "Ghost style, people just take it and fry it?" "That's not it, I'm still waiting for the warm chicken." "The meat goes to the cat's mouth, and the money goes to the poor man's hand." You can't wait for that. "Haha, this is not gambling, it can be regarded as a reward for your amount. "Hey, hey, lazy hands. It's better than your mouth. Simply, fry another one, and drink two cups. "Haha. That night, the tiger and his wife drank a few glasses of wine beautifully, and while the wine was strong, the two old husbands and wives fell asleep after a lot of rain and clouds.
This proposal is not in a hurry or in a hurry, but it can be said that it is in a hurry, for fear that others will take the lead. So, the next day, Pian Er went to Qing'er's house. There is a grandmother, this elder is the first, so Pian Er first went to Qiao'er's house to pull the family routine, and then talked about other things, and then talked about proposing marriage to Hong'er. People's mother-in-law said that they are all in front of the door, and they know the situation of Yongwa's family, and Changwa is not crooked, she has no idea, let Hong'er's mother take the idea.
When he went to Qing'er's house, Pian Er said, "Hong'er's mother, I have to trouble you." "What's the matter? "Ah, I said that I will look at your mother-in-law first, and that baby is not just dead. "Oh, this mother's heart is hard. "What's the matter?" "Have you heard of it, people said that she pushed the baby into the waterwheel well (the waterwheel well is a saying in the area of Persimmon Bay, which refers to the well with a waterwheel). "What nonsense are you talking about, don't you dare to say it outside. "Eh, I listened to what the mother said, I was washing clothes in the ditch in the second half of yesterday, and the baby's family was playing well by the well, she went over for a while, and said that the baby was planted in the well, so she didn't push the baby down?" "Then what do you say?" Eh said that it must have been Qingwa who saw her mother coming, and remembered to come over, but accidentally stepped on the bottom of her foot, and she rolled into the well wonderfully. When you are a mother, how can you push the baby, who is put aside, no one will. "That's what you say. "Well, that's how it is, what are you talking about? "Yes. This is also good for you, a simple baby, she will be gone in the future, what can you do. "Ah, that's right. "It's still good like that. ”
"Hmm. Hey, aren't you looking for something? What's the matter?" "Uh, you say, you don't have a baby, you make up the time to tell the second couple of the Forehead family, and pass the group of babies to the forehead, first, their burden is lighter, and secondly, they also have babies. "Hey, that's a great idea. I think your second child is willing. "Hehe, then it's up to you. "I don't know what else to say?" "You should talk to your sister-in-law first." "Hehe, that's not the case, what are you talking about in the Han family." "Well, I mean that my sister-in-law is in charge of the house. "Ah, I know. ”
"I won't let you talk about this in vain. "What's the matter? I'm going to give a gift. "Tell your family Hong'er about her mother-in-law." "Hehe, ghost style, it's cost-effective to tell Hong'er whose baby? "Well, I think you like it. "Hell, dare you be a roundworm in your forehead, and you like it accurately, say it quickly, whose baby?" "Just outside our door, Changwa, what's going on?" "Oh, who taught you here?" "Why? I dare not see it, the father and son often give you a hand." "It's just too close. "Lazy hands, do you dare to get close?" "Ah, but it's also a matter of knowing the roots." "Outside, that's it. Look at a good day, put the pro ordered. "Okay, you tell us to go. "The other side is already willing, and it was Yongwa who sent it. "Oh. ”
In this way, coming and going, after some peace, Yongwa and Qing'er became in-laws, and Yunsheng also passed on his second child to Yunhu.
