Chapter 230: Survival in the Sixties (7)
The white carpenter was very excited when he saw his wife, and seemed to have a good impression of that chapter of patriotism, and remembered that she had told herself last night that her precious daughter also liked that guy, and she felt very uncomfortable. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Thinking that his daughter, who had worked so hard to raise, was about to be taken away by a stinky boy, the white carpenter was in a good mood, and he was not even in the mood to drink wine.
I saw him snort with a tiger face: "What do you know! I have only met people a few times? Just say good things for him! I don't know if that kid just talks nicely." I think you have to be calm and calm, observe him for a while, and don't be stupid enough to ask him to cheat his daughter away. ”
"If Honghong doesn't have a good time in the future, I don't think you regret dying! Anyway, I won't marry my daughter to him easily. "The white carpenter clasped his hands on his chest, and his nose fluttered like a fire-breathing dinosaur.
"Hey! I said that you old man, you can't spit out ivory in your mouth!" Bai Mu slapped the dishes and chopsticks on the table, crossed her waist with one hand, pointed at the white carpenter with the other, and shouted: "I don't know who is patriotic, Cuilan doesn't know yet!
"What kind of vision does your sister have, can she still look at the wrong person?" Bai Mu said: "Our family is the most promising, her aunt has spoiled her since she was a child, and she treats her as her own daughter, can she still harm her?"
"Hmph! If you don't want to keep it, you all call Zhang Aiguo, that slippery boy, Meng. The white carpenter was inexplicably furious, and took a big sip of wine, which burned his heart even more.
The white mother made him tremble with anger, and directly reached out to take away his wine bowl: "Then don't drink the wine that Aiguo bought! You are not allowed to eat chicken! And don't smoke the cigarettes in the house! I will bring it to Honghong and her uncle in a while." Her aunt kindly told us Honghong that it was a good family affair, and she had to thank others. ”
"No!" the white carpenter cried out as he slapped the table, "why should someone else buy something for me go to the mouth of the good thing Cuilan?" ”
Without waiting for Bai's mother to reply, Bai Boss and Lao Er also hurriedly agreed: "Mom, what our father said is very true." That's Zhang Aiguo's filial piety to us, why is it cheap uncle?"
Boss Bai said in a sour tone: "The cigarettes at home are all asked for you to take out and give them away, saying that you are asking someone to say goodbye to Honghong, and now this kiss is also said, should it be left to me and the old ......man."
"Big brother is right!" Bai Lao saw his daughter-in-law give him a look, and said, "I haven't smoked for a long time." Mom, you just stay, let me smoke two packs. ”
"But your uncle ......," the white mother began to hesitate.
Sister-in-law Bai smiled at this time and said: "Mom, I don't think it's better to do this, you take apart the cigarettes, bring two packs for your uncle, bring a bottle of wine, and then buy some candy and twist flowers for the golden egg and iron egg, this is not good? As for the remaining cigarettes, I will stay at home and give them to our father, the boss, and the second smoke, so that they can also satisfy their hunger." ”
Sister-in-law Bai is reluctant to let Bai's mother give away all the cigarettes!
She had already secretly gone to her house to see when Bai Mu was cooking, her mother's sister-in-law worked in a supply and marketing cooperative in another town, and she knew a lot of good cigarettes and good wine under the guidance of her sister-in-law.
Her men hadn't smoked much, so how could they all tell her uncle's poor ghost to pick up the bargain! When the cigarettes were divided, she had to bring back a pack to her mother's eldest brother. Every time she goes back to her parents' house, her brother and sister-in-law don't give her a good face.
"That's fine. Seeing that her two sons and her wife were looking at her, and seeing that they really wanted to smoke the cigarettes brought by her future son-in-law, the white mother agreed to the suggestion of her eldest daughter-in-law.
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, the faces of the three big men in the family were a lot more happy.
Sister-in-law Bai has eaten and drunk enough, she silently put down the dishes and chopsticks, raised her hand and gently stroked her stomach, thinking: It is said that she is a boy in this child, and from now on, she has to save more good things for her son!
We must not let the last time the second elder almost emptied his family funds to make furniture for his sister-in-law happen again! This time the sister-in-law's family affairs, she must grasp it well, and strive to get more benefits from it!
Thinking of this, Sister-in-law Bai's eyes rolled, and she said: "Mom, I heard that Zhang Aiguo is very profitable, and his salary is dozens of yuan a month! ”
As Sister-in-law Bai spoke, she saw the second brother and sister who were picking up a chicken neck bone and gnawing intently, putting down their chopsticks and raising their eyes to look at her. She smiled imperceptibly, a glint in her eyes.
"Have you ever thought about waiting for him to marry our Honghong and ask him how much dowry he wants? Our Honghong is a high school student! He is so beautiful, a few years younger than Zhang Aiguo, he can't marry him easily. ”
"This bride price is indispensable! It has to be made according to the three turns and one ring, which is popular in the city. "Sister-in-law Bai is not stupid, the bride price is to be distributed to her own family, of course, you have to ask for a lot. Three turns and one ring, according to the cheap, must add up to at least eight or nine hundred yuan.
Just thinking about it, Sister-in-law Bai's heart is hot. She vaguely flew a glance to the second sister-in-law Bai and reminded her: Follow her words and go down! The sister-in-law said that the bride price for this marriage will be divided between the two families. What that chapter of patriotism has is money, and it can be knocked as much as it can! Anyway, it's all his own.
Second sister-in-law Bai understood, she spit out a chicken bone, and her eyes lit up: "Sister-in-law's words are right! Mom, you have to have an abacus in your heart, don't be cheap that chapter of patriotism." Our little sister is knowledgeable and handsome, and in my opinion, even people in the city can get married!"
"That chapter is patriotic but a cook who graduated from junior high school, according to me, in fact, he is not worthy of our little sister. It's just that it's rare that the little sister and you like it, Zhang Aiguo has picked up a treasure! However, this bride price is absolutely indispensable!"
The second sister-in-law Bai saw that Bai's mother's face was blue and black, and she glared at her, and the white carpenter glanced at her unhappily, she turned her head and said to the second elder: "Dad, Mom, I said that he should give more dowry, but not for himself." After all, the bride price is not only related to the face of our family, but also represents the importance he attaches to our little sister. If only there was ...... missing"
"Come on!" Bai Mu slammed the chopsticks on the table, and said coldly to the two lively daughters-in-law: "Your thoughts, I don't have to guess that I know, and the boss, the boss, the second, you two don't speak, are you also selling your little sister at a high price for your own use?!"
"Mom!" Boss Bai and Elder Er glanced at each other and said, "My daughter-in-law (younger sibling) is right. We want more dowry, but also for our own family and for the good of our little sister. Don't say it so badly. If outsiders listen to it, what will they think of us? What will they think of our family? When those three aunts and six wives talk ugly gossip, you will be angry again. ”
"You two bastards! I was wrong about the feelings!" The white mother was so angry with the two sons that her eyes darkened, her heartbeat intensified, and she covered her heart and panted: "Look at you like this, are you going to be angry with the old lady?"
Bai Boss and Bai Lao Er recently watched their parents dig out the house, and asked someone to tell Bai Hong that the anger of their parents making furniture for the little sister last time has not disappeared, and they have not added new fire recently, and they don't even want to do face, so they look at Bai Mu with a straight face.
The white mother felt angry and cold, her son was older, married a daughter-in-law and gave birth to a baby, so she forgot about her mother. Now that she and the old man are still alive and well, the two young couples are thinking about how to sell her daughter at a high price.
If one day she and the old man are injured and sick and can't do work, can they still be expected to be filial to themselves?
The white carpenter also made the two sons and daughter-in-law so angry that their livers hurt, he knocked the wine bowl hard, making a muffled sound of "bang", and swished out to release the cold air, the white sister-in-law and the second white sister-in-law moved to the side uncomfortably, but the white boss and the second white looked indifferent.
But the two children, Stone and Peach Blossom, made the black-faced grandfather cry in fright, and opened his throat and howled regardless of it.
"What are you crying about, give me a sound!" Old man Bai usually didn't like too naughty stones and timid and dirty peach blossoms, but at this time, the tiger's eyes were round, and his grandchildren were so frightened that they didn't dare to cry. He pointed to the noses of his two sons and scolded angrily: "Okay, you two black-hearted and shameless!"
He paused, and roared: "I'll talk here today, Honghong will get married in the future, and I will marry her with the bride price given by the man, and none of you are allowed to play the idea of bride price!"
"Why?"
"I won't do it!"
The big brother Bai suddenly exploded.
Sister-in-law Bai and Sister-in-law Bai also glared at the white carpenter with fire in their eyes, "Dad, your heart is really boundless! The feelings of our family are Bai Hong's one is your own, and the eldest and the second are all picked up by the river! Bai Hong himself said that he would divide the bride price equally among us to compensate for our previous losses." You ......"
"Shut up! Lao Tzu is talking to his son, where is your part to interject! Get out of the house for me! Or get me back to my mother's house!" The white carpenter didn't give the two daughters-in-law any face, and drank them away in three or two sentences.
He turned his head to look at his old wife, who turned his back and wept silently, and said to his two sons, who stood up as if they were going to fight with him: "Sit down for Lao Tzu! Do you want to rebel?"
"Dad!" Boss Bai grabbed his younger brother who was about to lift the table, sat down with him, took a deep breath, and said to the white carpenter as calmly as possible: "The little sister bride price will be distributed to us, isn't it already said. She gave it to us voluntarily, and it wasn't what our brother asked her for. Why don't you give it to us?"
Bai Lao Erjiao craned his neck and shouted: "It was her own idea for my little sister to compensate me and my eldest brother with a bride price, Dad, I don't care what you say." Otherwise, you and your mother will take out 800 yuan and give me and my brother 400 each, and the bride price of that little sister will be whatever you like! ”
"What nonsense are you talking about, second child!" Bai Mu wiped away her tears and rolled her eyes at her second son: "Didn't I tell your father and your brother before, there are more than 100 yuan left in our family now." Where are you going for me and your dad to find eight hundred?!"
"Then take the little sister's bride price to make up for it!" Bai Lao Er made up his mind to fight his parents to the end, saying that he would also get back the previous loss, and the little sister could use more than 400 yuan to make new furniture, and he also scored so much!
The white carpenter and the white mother were so angry with the second son that they couldn't speak, and the couple looked at each other speechlessly.
Boss Bai looked at his younger brother in surprise, suppressed the impulse to applaud his younger brother, and pretended to dissect his heart with the second elder: "Dad, Mom, please also be considerate of me and my second brother, Shi and Osmanthus will go to school next year, and my daughter-in-law has a small one in her belly, eat, drink and wear, what kind of money does not need money?"
"Now it's not as good as before, our brothers also have a small wife and children to support. Besides, you're getting older, and we can't keep asking you to earn money to support your family. I discussed it with my second brother, and when I got my little sister's bride price, my second brother and I bought some good gifts and went to the county to see if we could work in a steel mill or coal mine. ”
"As you must have heard, at the beginning of spring next year, both steel and coal mines will recruit workers, and high school students will be preferred. My second brother and I are junior high school students, primary school students, and our academic qualifications are not as good as those high school students in the town. ”
"Big brother is right!" Bai Lao Er seemed to see that he was about to step into a state-owned enterprise and become a regular employee, and his future was bright.
He looked at the silent white carpenter, and then at the white mother with a sad face.
"Dad, Mom, I have discussed privately with my eldest brother, and we will give gifts to the leaders, which will cost about one or two hundred yuan. There are too many people who want to give gifts to others, and there are fewer things, and people will not pay attention to us at all. If you don't take out eight hundred, take out four hundred first, and make up the rest slowly. Otherwise, the bride price of the little sister will return to me and my brother. ”
Boss Bai didn't speak, and acquiesced to his younger brother's statement, which was also a posture of "using the bride price if you don't take the money".
Before the eight characters were skimmed, the two sons had this face.
The white carpenter's heart was full of anger, but he still held back the fire, and tried his best to ask them calmly: "I heard from the captain that the number of jobs this time is limited, and the competition is very fierce. Not only are the young guys in our villages and towns red-eyed, but there are also many people in the city staring at it. Are you completely sure to get in? Don't go in and lose your money!"
"Old man......" The white mother thought that the wife wanted to get money for the two sons, but without waiting for the sons to speak, she hurriedly said: "We don't have so much money in our hands! They can also make money by working in the village, why do you have to go to the city! Don't you really want to give them our girl's bride price? I don't agree! Don't even think about it!"
Bai's mother has never been worried that Zhang Aiguo will not be able to get a few hundred yuan of bride price, in her eyes, her future son-in-law is rich and generous, and he also values her daughter very much, how can she be reluctant to give a few hundred yuan to buy a bride price for her daughter.
But with such a large sum of money, she made up her mind to marry all her daughters, and no one else could move her! Whoever moved her was in a hurry! Not only her own son, but also her wife!
She admits that she is partial, but the two sons have a cold-hearted and selfish appearance, and they have never spent a dime to buy her anything since they were young, and they will only ask her for money. usually never shush her and ask for warmth.
Compared with the daughter who is caring and sensible, thinks about her everywhere, and makes her proud, everyone has to be partial!
Mother Bai remembered that her daughter was only five or six years old, so she helped cook for herself. Later, after going to elementary school, I took the initiative to help her with housework when I came home from school. Usually she and the old man occasionally have a headache and brain fever, and they are all carefully served and taken care of by their daughter.
After graduating from the sixth grade of primary school and the first place in the school, her daughter got a bonus of five yuan, and asked her to go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy two bottles of good clam oil for herself and her wife, so that they would not be frozen in the winter. Later, when her daughter grew up, she knitted sweaters for her and her wife......
The more the white mother thought about it, the more she felt that among the three children, only her daughter was close to her. So, it's no wonder that she loves her daughter.
"What are you yelling at, old woman, when did I say I was going to use Honghong's bride price?" said the white carpenter angrily at his wife.
Turning to the two sons with angry faces, he said, "Don't stare at the two of you." I can't get out of 800 yuan if I sell it, so I can only promise to give you 200 yuan per person at the end of this year!"
