Chapter Twenty-Eight: Old Man Sun
"Sister, if you think Brother Miao and her mother are smoking too much, if you wait for me at Nanjiekou in the morning, I will quietly sell it to you. Don't worry, don't let Brother Miao and her mother know...... Hey, you and your brother-in-law are also confused, life is sad enough, why do you still find such a home for Sister Hong? I'm afraid I can't get the dowry, right? Sun Dawen complained, he heard Dr. Sun say that the eldest brother-in-law spent money for good medicine, and thought that Sister Hong had found a good family, but he didn't think about it, but it came to pass that Sister Hong was promised to Ge Dongyong, hum, a poor ghost from outside, what kind of dowry can he give to the eldest sister's family?
Sun Dawen secretly guessed that the Dai family was going to be unable to open the pot, so he suddenly talked to them about the money, the previous Sun family did not bring this, he was generous, and he had nothing to say about what their brothers could take care of.
Sun Shi smiled after hearing this, the tears in his eyes were no longer seen, he raised his head and looked at Sun Dawen, who also saw the wind and frost on his face, and said without distemper: "Don't bother you, it used to be your brother-in-law who couldn't do without people, and my sister couldn't do anything, but now your brother-in-law is better, I will also go out to see the situation...... As for Sister Hong, let's not talk about it, this is her life, and she didn't catch up with the good time at home......" After speaking, Sun turned around and went into the backyard, where Sun's grandfather and Sun's father and mother lived.
The old man Sun slept in the west room with an earth-shattering sound, and Sun's mother Zhong mended her clothes on the kang in the east room, and when she saw Sun come in, she happily put the clothes in Sun's hand and said: "It's just right to come, help your grandfather mend this clothes, I mend my eyes are spent." ”
"Hey" Sun agreed to bury his head in needlework, grandfather's clothes were still bought by her when she was over the whole year, it was a good material that Dai Xiangen specially bought from the county cloth village, the old man was not easy in his life, he lost his wife and became a widower in his early years, and he was tired of hardships and brought up his children, and he did not enjoy any happiness in his good years.
The sound of footsteps outside the door had to be silenced for a moment, knowing which brother and daughter-in-law must have rushed over to eavesdrop on his face, but Sun was faintly bitter in his heart.
Zhong also counted, she also did this kind of thing when she was young, so she didn't care much about the people outside, only coughed and asked Sun, "I see you talking to Dawen under the plane tree, what did you say?" ”
"It means that I will go to the county seat with Sister Lin, and I don't have to trouble Dawen to help take the embroidery work to Fucheng." The Sun family was interested in burying his head in needlework, but the Zhong family was a little dissatisfied after hearing it, and frowned: "You too, why don't you let Dawen piggyback on you and sell it?" Can the price of the county be compared with that of the prefecture? Besides, how can you go so far away from a woman's family, and take Sister Lin with you, what if something happens? ”
"What could happen? It's okay to go early and come back early, Sister Lin is not Sister Hong, she has the ability. The more people persuaded the more people were, the more Sun made up her mind to go to the county seat, and Sister Lin was right, she could save a lot of food by coming and going, and these grains might be able to keep her children from starving.
Zhong's tone was not very good when he heard Sun's words, and he knew that it must be the sisters and brothers who were in a small mood, so he didn't dare to persuade him anymore, and only talked about Sister Lin, "Sister Lin is only two out of ten no matter how capable she is, it's really not good, you take Brother Xian there, it's a kid anyway." ”
"No, Brother Xian has to pick up firewood at home...... "Sun's words are not without reason, Brother Xian is a kid who runs around the world casually, Sister Lin is a girl's family is okay to walk around the town, and it is not good to go to the field alone, if you are not careful, it will be ruined for a lifetime.
When the Sun family talked about this, the Zhong family couldn't say anything, and the eldest daughter's temperament could be controlled by the old man, "Why do you say you live like this?" You even promised Sister Hong to the Ge family, isn't this letting the child suffer? How good is the Zhang family in front of me......" The Zhong family remembered Sister Hong in his heart, and his heart hurt that such a good girl was going to live a poor life, and he couldn't help but complain a little about Dai Xiangen and the Sun family.
The Sun family's nose is pantothenic when she said this, which is why she really wants to give Sister Hong to the Ge family, and she doesn't expect Ge Dongyong to help the family more, so she wronged Sister Hong, it was the damn world that forced her to make a choice, and it was all the turtle Dai Xianye who lacked virtue for eight lifetimes.
Zhong didn't know the situation, and kept holding on to Sun's chatter, and when there was a "sigh" cry out of the window, Sun got up and looked out of the window, and saw her grandfather Old Man Sun was knocking on the ground with a stick, so frightened that Jiao's face turned white, and Old Man Sun blew his beard and glared angrily: "That's how your Jiao family taught you?" Eavesdropping on my mother-in-law talking to my sister-in-law? ”
"Hey, grandfather, you listen to your granddaughter-in-law, what is this eavesdropping, your granddaughter-in-law is just sitting here basking in the sun, you really wronged your granddaughter-in-law!" Jiao knew that Old Man Sun favored his eldest granddaughter in his heart, and probably admitted that she was here to eavesdrop, and maybe he would have to be beaten, so he defended stubbornly.
The old man had a large white beard without wind, and said with a smile: "Okay, good, bask in the sun, right?" Then you can sit here and bask in the sun, and my old man will let you bask in the sun today. ”
"Grandfather...... Brother Miao'er and her mother still have to make lunch" Sun Dawen, who came over, secretly scolded Jiao's stupidity in his heart, and he didn't want to think about what kind of sun was basking on this hot day, wasn't he looking for scolding?
Sun Dawen stepped forward to plead with the old man on behalf of Jiao's family, but was knocked by the old man with a cane. On the stock, Sun Dawen only felt that the chrysanthemum was tight, and he shouted in pain.
The Zhong family in the house was distressed when he heard it, if her father-in-law beat her daughter-in-law, she would have absolutely nothing to say, but she still had to beat her son?
Zhong panicked and wanted to get off the kang, but was frightened back by Old Man Sun's "go back".
Maybe the old man was reluctant to beat his grandson hard, so the crutches hit the ground with a popping sound, and he scolded him angrily: "It's useless to tell you to call your mother, your mother is honest and can't see through the thoughts of you little kings and eight cubs." But you don't want to think about it, if you do this, you are not afraid of chilling your eldest sister's heart, which of you was not brought up by your eldest sister when you were a child? When you got married, your eldest sister didn't contribute? Now that she's in trouble, please help me, you still scrape layer after layer on the left, I don't know when I'm old and confused, right? Now she doesn't want to do anything else, she just wants to go to the county seat to sell embroidery work by herself, and see if you are in a hurry...... Where is this conscience? ”
Old Man Sun's words smashed into Sun's heart, and in front of her mother, tears fell silently on the windowsill.
Only then did the Zhong family understand the ins and outs of the matter, and it turned out that the old family's Xiaozao came from this way. Thinking about it, Zhong couldn't help but frown, the secret way is still the father-in-law is wise, she almost wronged the eldest daughter, she deserves to bask in the sun, if there is no eldest daughter to help a few years ago, how can a few children successfully marry a wife and have children? Especially the Jiao family, if it weren't for the Sun family's busy work, I am afraid that Brother Miao's body would have crossed after giving birth.
Zhong's mind turned, and then he looked at the eldest daughter around him, his heart hurt, and he secretly hated his eldest daughter-in-law Jiao, but he didn't have any trouble with his eldest son, in Zhong's heart, his son's mistake must have been instigated by his daughter-in-law.
After helping her mother do the needlework, she didn't see her father come back, so she patted her clothes and prepared to go home, and when she left, she went into her grandfather's room and told the old man about hoarding grain.
