That night, Aunt Da Niu directly called Da Niu to the side house. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The side house is located in a corner of the northwest. The sun doesn't shine, the light in the room is a little dark, and the perennial humidity makes the air smell more rotten.
At this time, Aunt Da Niu was sitting cross-legged on the kang, with an oil lamp lit next to her, and Da Niu was standing on the ground looking at her mother.
For a while, no one spoke, and Da Niu was a little unsure of what his mother meant, and just wanted to speak, he saw his mother move.
I saw that Aunt Da Niu suddenly reached out behind her, took out a pitch-black small wooden box about the size of two palms from her side, did not speak, and did not look at Da Niu, directly opened the chain on the side of the wooden box in front of Da Niu, and then took out a few grinding and somewhat worn small purses from inside without blinking, compared to the slightly shabby appearance, each purse is bulging inside, Da Niu is also a little curious about the contents of the purse, and unconsciously reached out and scratched his hair.
Aunt Niu didn't give him time to think, and directly pushed these small purses in front of him in turn.
Da Niu looked at her mother's inexplicable movements, and then looked at the small purses in front of her that were a little worn out, and asked naively, "Mother, what is here?"
If it was usual, the big cow showed this silly expression. Aunt Da Niu will definitely glare at him and then scold the idiot, but today, Aunt Da Niu's performance is different from before. She just raised her eyes and glanced at the big cow lightly, then looked down at the purse, and said in a deep voice, "This is the capital for the three of you brothers to settle down in the future, my mother has been saving since you were a child, and now so many years have passed, and in the blink of an eye, you are going to marry a wife and have children, and it is time to hand over your share to you." After Aunt Da Niu finished speaking, she looked up at Da Niu's current appearance with some emotion, at that time the little person had become so big, it was difficult for her to connect the responsible young man in front of her with the hairy boy before, thinking like this in her heart, Aunt Da Niu only felt that the corners of her eyes were a little moist, and then she was a little worried and tilted her head and raised her hand to wipe it, but fortunately, Da Niu did not notice his mother's vague movements at this time, which made Aunt Da Niu relieved. Then he handed one of the most bulging purses to the big cow, and put the rest in the box and locked it.
"Okay, you open it and take a look" Aunt Da Niu stabilized her mood, and then stretched out her hand and pointed to the purse in Da Niu's hand, Da Niu paused under her mother's calm gaze, and still reached out to open the purse, and then poured out all the silver inside.
A full fifteen taels of silver appeared in front of Da Niu's eyes, Da Niu's eyes suddenly straightened, and he looked up at Aunt Da Niu not far away, as if he was a little incredulous that her mother could come up with so much money.
"What? Do you believe it?" Aunt Da Niu raised her eyelids and glanced at Da Niu with a surprised face, and scolded, "Put away your unproductive appearance, do you think it's a lot? With the money in your hand, it is more than enough to marry a girl from an ordinary family, but is Miss Xiu'er the daughter of an ordinary family? Aunt Da Niu's words were like a basin of cold water poured on her head, directly extinguishing Da Niu's full of enthusiasm.
After hearing this, Da Niu's whole person's movements suddenly paused, and then his pupils widened, and he looked frightened, which was completely different from the previous appearance full of joy.
Da Niu's expression was a little stunned at this time, and his voice was still trembling, "Mother, you are... Lie to me, you can't... Although Da Niu said that he didn't believe it, his nervous expression had completely betrayed him, for fear that his mother would deceive him, and after finishing speaking, his eyes looked at his mother directly, and he even swallowed his saliva nervously.
"Hmph, what are you lying to you? Can you not know the character of Miss Xiu'er? Can you not know the family background of others? You haven't heard of her mother who regards money as her life, no matter how good Miss Xiu'er is, you have to listen to her mother" Aunt Da Niu looked at her son's virtue, and directly added another fire, "Mother inquired clearly, people really didn't fancy our old Wang family, if it weren't for your fifth grandmother as a guarantor, my mother would be worried that you wouldn't even be able to see Miss Xiu'er's face, just these fifteen taels of silver, I'm afraid it will be difficult" Aunt Da Niu's tone was serious, every time she said a word, Da Niu's spirit was a little less, and as soon as the words fell, Aunt Da Niu saw that her son's whole person seemed to have lost his spirit, leaning over, instantly languishing, and bowing his head with a lost look.
Just like this, he lost his soul and scolded Aunt Da Niu angrily, "You look like you have no interest, didn't your mother say that she won't marry you? Who do you show this crying and mourning expression? Ah! Cheer up, where did you have the courage to ask to marry Xiu'er before?" Aunt Da Niu felt a straight pain in her heart, this unpromising virtue is exactly the same as his dead Lao Tzu, and it makes people angry when they look at it!
Da Niu felt uncomfortable when he was scolded by his mother, and his tone was also sullen, "Mother, what if I can't get the money that Xiu'er and her mother want, my mother won't really not agree" After speaking, Da Niu also carefully and secretly observed the expression on her mother's face, for fear that her mother would not marry him if she did not agree.
"What do you say, stupid," Aunt Da Niu looked at Da Niu's cowardly appearance and was a little impatient. After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at this terrible son and didn't look at it, really, how could she give birth to such stupidity?
Aunt Da Niu said her words for a long time, no one replied, at first Aunt Niu didn't care, thinking that her son was thinking about it, but after a while, no one spoke, and I couldn't help but be a little worried, this fool won't be beaten up, thinking of this, Aunt Da Niu couldn't sit still, you must know that her son is really brainless, and he won't really marry because of his two sentences.
As a result, when Aunt Da Niu turned around, she was directly frightened by the scene in front of her, and then jumped up suddenly, she never thought that her son would kneel in front of her for so long without making a sound.
Although Aunt Da Niu was startled, she recovered immediately, and she didn't bother to put on her shoes, she jumped directly from the kang, and then ran to Da Niu in two steps and stretched out her hand to pull him up.
"Mother, don't pull me, I have something to say" Da Niu looked at his mother's movements calmly, and didn't care about his mother's outstretched hand, just raised his head and looked at her mother with a serious expression, and his tone was firm.
Aunt Da Niu looked at her son's eyes that were the same as those of his dead Lao Tzu, her face suddenly stiffened, Aunt Da Niu pulled the corners of her mouth with a fluttering expression, and then loosened Da Niu's clothes, and said in a calm tone, "Say it, my mother just listens."
"Mother" Da Niu knelt straight, looked straight ahead, and his eyes revealed a huge determination, "I want to go to Xiu'er, in this life, I want to marry her Chen Xiu'er alone, I don't want anyone else, mother, I know that her mother is not good, but Xiu'er is really good, and I also know that because of her mother, I have a great chance... I can't marry her, but I still want to marry her, mother, if... If the money is not enough, I can borrow it from you, and then I will work with Xiu'er to earn money to honor you in the future, mother, my son has not begged you for anything, just this one thing will work, my son can be regarded as begging you" After Da Niu finished speaking, he also slammed his head in the direction of her mother three times, his head hit the ground, and his voice sounded, and when he straightened up, his forehead was already red and swollen.
Da Niu was a little nervous and waited for her mother to reply, to be honest, he had no confidence in his own requirements, what kind of big bull his mother knew, and at the same time, Da Niu also knew that he still had two younger brothers, and it was impossible for them all to come with his temperament, but, Xiu'er... Thinking of this, Da Niu's hands on both sides tightened, he really wanted to marry her, the woman who smiled like a fairy in the sun, the woman who said that others were very good, the woman who said that he was stupid, the other party's voice and smile were very clearly engraved in Da Niu's mind at this time, Da Niu looked out the window, as if he saw the other party's smiling face like a flower...
Aunt Da Niu didn't speak for a long time, so long that Da Niu couldn't feel the sensation below the knee, and when Da Niu thought that his mother was going to disagree, and he himself was about to despair, he was suddenly hit by surprise.
In the end, Aunt Niu took a deep look at her son, who was kneeling beside her, and said softly with her eyes closed, "Mother agrees, you get up" Aunt Niu didn't know what was wrong with her, she was supportive from the beginning, but she wanted to confirm her son's determination to test it today, the result was beyond her expectations, obviously it was the result she liked, but it made Aunt Niu feel very eyesore, especially the son she had worked so hard to raise actually knelt down to her for a woman, how could a man kneel down so easily, although she didn't have any culture, but she still understood the most basic truth.
At that moment, she suddenly wanted to say no, but looking at her son's face full of expectation, she still couldn't speak, forget it, she still... Make it happen.
"Really?mother?are you telling true?do you really agree?" Just when Da Niu wanted to give up, her mother actually said that she agreed, just like a pedestrian who was about to die of thirst suddenly had a water source, Da Niu was shocked and wanted to stand up, but because of the long time of kneeling, his knees could not support it, and he fell directly to the side, so frightened that Aunt Da Niu on the side directly hugged Da Niu in her arms, "Da Niu, Da Niu, what are you doing?" Aunt Da Niu didn't have time to get angry and was frightened by this sudden situation, and she hugged Da Niu with a worried face, and her tone trembled.
"Mother, it's okay" Da Niu looked at Aunt Da Niu with a smile on his face, and then asked, "What Mother just said is true?
"Agreed, but if you say it again, I won't agree" Aunt Da Niu looked at her son's heartless appearance and reached out and hammered Da Niu's chest fiercely, this will be married in the future, and sooner or later I will forget my mother.
"Hey, hey, mother, aren't I happy?really, Xiu'er is really good" Da Niu saw that his mother was unhappy, and hurriedly said good things for Chen Xiu'er, for fear that his mother would not like her in the future.
"Okay, my mother knows that she is very good, so you go back to the house and sleep for me now, and I will talk to your fifth aunt tomorrow" Aunt Da Niu directly raised the price of Da Niu from the ground, and then the mother and son walked all the way to the main house......
Before dawn the next day, Aunt Niu got up early and packed up her things and walked to Lao Yang's house, Yang Li had already gotten up, yesterday when she saw Chen Xiu'er coming back, Yang Li understood that these two people were almost done, only Xiao Li's sister was left, Yang Li thought of her bad sister and suddenly felt a little sad, last night Xiu'er also specially asked Yang Li to go when she was hired, Chen Xiuer also knew how unreliable her mother was, and the only one who could cure her mother was Yang Li. Yang Li lowered her head and thought about it, and agreed, otherwise, she was really afraid that her stupid sister would have something to do temporarily.
Yuan's cooking today, got up early, and went out to pour ashes and met Aunt Da Niu who was rushing to her house, Yuan raised his head and greeted with a smile, "Auntie, what's the matter so early?"
"It's the second daughter-in-law, I'm here to find my sister-in-law for something, sister-in-law is up" Aunt Niu glanced at the courtyard.
"Let's get up, come in, sister-in-law, I'm going to cook," Yuan said, carrying the wooden barrel and walking into the yard.
"Eh, the second daughter-in-law is going to get busy, I'll go find my sister-in-law" Aunt Da Niu finished greeting Yuan's and went directly to Yang Li's house.
"Auntie, I'm Xiao Zheng, open the door quickly," Aunt Niu said while lying at the door of Yang Li's house, knocking on the door quietly.
The door creaked open, and Yang Li sighed from the house and beckoned Aunt Niu to come in, and Aunt Niu squeezed in from the open space on the side, and Yang Li closed the door again.
"Daughter-in-law Shengzi, why are you here?" Yang Li spoke in a very low voice, and after speaking, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the next door, "That's Xiu'er's room, do you want to go and see it?"
"No, auntie, I came over today to discuss the date of the next hire, Da Niu went back and told me that I had to marry Miss Xiu'er, and I had no choice but to ask for my aunt with a shy face" Aunt Da Niu looked helpless, and smiled embarrassedly at Yang Li after speaking.
"What's this? Da Niu looks at Xiu'er is also the blessing of that girl, I think about the date of this next hire, it will be a set in two days, our family can't do without people, or wait for August 12, I happen to be free, what do you think?" Yang Li finished speaking, waiting for Aunt Da Niu's meaning.
Aunt Da Niu lowered her head and thought about it, today is already the eighth, and she is indeed about to catch the market, and she can't be so hasty when she goes to the woman's house to hire her, due etiquette is essential, it seems that they should also go to the market to buy something.
"Sister-in-law, you're right, then let's go on the twelfth" Aunt Da Niu finished speaking, and then asked, "Auntie, you also know that I, a woman, didn't invite a matchmaker to go on a blind date, so this thing... Sister-in-law still needs to mention more" Aunt Da Niu said euphemistically, in Yang Li's ears, it is to ask her what the girl likes, Yang Li said in her heart that she likes money, "You don't need to prepare it specially, just buy some ordinary pastries and fabrics, as for the gift money" Yang Li said in a tone of tone, "I will also go when the time comes, sister rest assured, I won't be too embarrassed by your family, everyone is for the good of the child"
"That's a good feeling, sister, thank you so much" Aunt Da Niu heard Yang Li's words, her eyes lit up slightly, with Yang Li's presence, then it is estimated that the gift money will not be too outrageous, and Aunt Da Niu can be regarded as having some bottom in her heart.
"Da Niu is also an old woman, I watched grow up, I know this, Zheng Meizi, you can rest assured" Yang Li took Aunt Da Niu's hand.
"If you have a sister-in-law, your sister will be relieved..."
"Well, there's something else..."
The two chattered until Yuan came over to say that the meal was ready, and Yang Li let go of Aunt Niu's hand.
"Eh, brother and sister, what do you say Aunt Niu is doing at our house" Gu stood in the kitchen and said to Yuan who was serving vegetables on the side.
"Oh, maybe it's about discussing the ox cart, it's going to be on the set the day after tomorrow, we have a lot of things, it's not easy to take it" Although Yuan heard what Chunqiu said yesterday, she was not a person who talked much, so she randomly found a reason that Gu knew to prevaricate.
"Yes, so many of us have to go, we really need to hire a car" Gu nodded clearly, and then returned to the lobby with the vegetable basin on the side......
On the ninth, Dajin drove the ox cart to pick up Xiu'er, and Yang Li told Dajin all the news he had gotten before, asked him to instruct his mother, and then sent Chen Xiu'er back.
Tomorrow is the set, so today everyone in the Yang family moved, making cold skin, making sauce, and adjusting sauce...... Just waiting to show off your skills at tomorrow's market...
