Chapter 136: Father and Son War
Daddy sent a message and asked Zheng Bao to propose marriage in only two days. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zheng Baocai didn't say anything, but he had already made up his mind in his heart: it is better to lack than to abuse!
Getting married is not a trivial matter, and he has long passed the age when he sees a woman's heart, Xia Dye is good, and he is really good for dogs, but she looks at him and gives birth to points.
Zheng Baocai thinks that he still has the eye to see people. And he clearly saw 'fear' in Xia Ran's eyes!
A woman is afraid of a man in her heart, how can she marry him?
Now he is old and young, although there is a lack of a daughter-in-law who knows cold and hot, but the family is clean.
Once he marries a woman who is not the same as him, and comes back, he is unwilling to take care of the house for him, and those who will suffer in the future will still be old and young.
His father was sick, and Zheng Bao didn't dare to fight against him openly, so he had to spend his ......
The white-eyed wolf of the dog egg was thorough, and he followed Xia Ran back to Xixiang Village that day, and there were only two old bachelors left in the family. Zheng Baocai has to go to the shop to keep an eye on during the day, and he will go home to accompany his father at night.
He wouldn't say intimate words, and when he came back every day, he just went to his father's house and asked him if he had taken medicine and how much he had eaten.
On the first day, Zheng's father lay on the bed and talked to him one by one, and the father and son were kind and filial.
The next day, Zheng Baocai went home in fear, because today was the day his father said that he was going to propose, and he didn't go to Yue's house to propose, so naturally he didn't dare to go to his father's house in a grand manner.
He took a look at his father's house on the windowsill, saw that the old man slept well, and stood outside the wall and listened for a while, and did not hear a few coughs, Zheng Bao secretly went back to the house, on a hot day, he didn't dare to make the slightest noise, his body was not washed, the lamp was not lit, he went to bed and slept a slimy sleep, and got up early in the morning and ran to the peace bureau......
Day 3, Day 4, Day 5...... After more than ten days of peaceful life, Zheng Baocai went out early and returned late, but the days passed peacefully.
Now he was relieved, thinking that his father was just casually talking about the marriage proposal, and he didn't take it seriously.
Father is not serious, he has no need to dodge, Zheng Baocai swaggered home, did not enter the house, directly carried water from the well, took off his clothes, and washed it naked.
A hot sweat was washed down by him, and when the breeze blew, Zheng Bao shivered.
Hurrying back to the house, he lit the oil lamp and picked out what he could wear among the clothes piled up on the bed.
Since the death of the Zheng family's wife, Zheng Bao took his family to live in the Taiping Bureau not long after, and the helpers he bought for his daughter-in-law were also brought over, and now they are all working in the shop.
The clothes on the bed are available all year round, and they are piled together to take up most of the bed, but fortunately, he sleeps alone, and pulls out a place for him to lie down.
The old man of the Zheng family quietly entered his son's house, carrying this medicine jar in his hand!
When Zheng Bao realized that there was something wrong with his background, he turned around suddenly, and before he could call out 'Dad', a black thing had already smashed towards him!
Fortunately, he fought countless fights and can be said to be experienced in a hundred battles, and in a hurry, he raised his legs and went to bed, and after a 'clang', the medicine jar fell to the ground, fragments were splashed everywhere, and the medicine residue and medicine soup were scattered all over the ground!
"What are you doing here?" Zheng Baocai looked down at the mess at the head of the bed, and couldn't help shouting at his father: "You smell it!" The house is full of the smell of medicine, how can I sleep! ”
"You still want to sleep? It's all about Lao Tzu's words! Zheng's father closed the door with his hand, picked up the broom standing behind the door and waved it towards his son on the bed: "Unfilial son! I don't even listen to Lao Tzu's words, what's the use of leaving you! ”
Zheng Baocai dodged left and right, lest he be drawn by his father's broom.
He has no clothes on, and if he gets hit now, it will hurt for a few days!
It's just that the bed is too small, easy to attack and difficult to defend, and after a few rounds, Zheng Bao saw the opportunity to snatch the broom in his father's hand, but before he could be happy, Zheng's father grabbed his pigtail!
"You kid keep jumping!" Father Zheng snorted and said, "Lao Tzu can't cure you anymore!" ”
"Hey! Oops! Father! I can't figure this thing out! Zheng Baocai immediately lost his arrogance, and started to be a filial son and grandson with a smiling face: "Dad, let go...... If you let go, I won't listen to you, but I can't do it? ”
"No!" After a pause, Father Zheng finally took a breath, he glared at his son and said, "You will make an oath to Lao Tzu now: if you don't propose marriage, your Lao Tzu's illness will not be cured!" ”
This is a poisonous oath, and Zheng's father used his net worth and life to block his son's happiness in the second half of his life.
He would rather live a few years less than watch his son live alone for the rest of his life......
It's so hard, it's too hard......
Especially when he couldn't sleep in the dead of night, he remembered the past, and he didn't want to talk to anyone with all his feelings, only bitterness.
"I don't say it." Zheng Baocai restrained his smile and looked at his father condescendingly, both father and son stared at each other deadly, like enemies!
"I'll go to propose tomorrow morning." Zheng Baocai said in a deep voice.
"Really?" Father Zheng's eyes lit up, but he still didn't let go.
"Really." Zheng Baocai lowered his eyes and turned his head away: "I won't coax you this time, I'll go." ”
"It's good to be like this earlier!" Zheng's father let go of his hand and patted his son's buttocks: "Let Dad save some snacks......"
Zheng Baocai jumped out of bed with a muffled voice, stepped on the medicine residue, and sat on the bed with his feet slipping.
"It's done, go to bed early. Ming'er brought something to propose, don't go empty-handed, let the family pick on it! The goal was achieved, and Zheng's father opened the door and walked out satisfied.
Seeing his father go out and hearing his father's cough from the next room, Zheng Baocai raised his foot expressionlessly, pulled out a small piece of medicine jar crumbs inserted in the sole of his foot and threw it on the ground.
A fountain of crimson blood gushed out and fell to the ground, quickly mixed with the medicinal soup and disappeared without a trace......
Zheng Baocai watched the blood beads fall in strings, as if it was not his own blood.
The sound of my father's cough came again, endlessly, and it made people anxious and irritable.
"Alas......" With a long sigh, Zheng Baocai picked up a piece of clothing and wiped the soles of his feet a few times, looked at the bloodstained clothes, and threw them on the ground with a frown.
Putting on his shirt and shoes, he picked up the broom on the floor and cleaned it first, then turned around and went to the kitchen.
He took another medicine jar from the cupboard, soaked the herbs, and squatted in the kitchen door to build a small charcoal stove.
There are many medicine jars at home.
When the lady was seriously ill, he waited for her to dress and take medicine, and never pretended to others.
It's just that no matter how careful you are, there will always be a time when the medicine will boil.
The lady boiled a pot of porridge, and the family could still eat it with relish. And when he boiled a jar of medicine, he had to throw it all away, and he couldn't drink it again.
The lady is gone, he still can't cook, but he has learned to cook medicine.
His mother didn't get early, and the women of the Zheng family couldn't keep it.
He couldn't let his father go any longer.
"Dad, drink the medicine." Zheng Baocai whispered a word in front of his father's door and went back to the house.
He knew that his father hadn't slept, just by listening to the rush of coughing......
The door opened, and Zheng's father walked out of the house, not seeing his son, until he saw two bowls on the small dining table in the courtyard, one was steaming soup and the other was just right white water.
Father Zheng looked sideways into his son's house and saw that the house was already dark.
He walked lightly to the small dining table, picked up the bowl of soup and poured it into it, grinned and quickly rinsed his mouth with white water, and before returning to the house, he put the bowl in his hand heavily on the table.
Father Zheng knew that he had to hear such a sound to let his son sleep peacefully......
……
"In charge, Mr. Zheng is here." Ah Xiu stood at the gate of Yuexi's courtyard, talking and peeking at Kasumi who was sitting at the stone table.
Kasumi's face suddenly changed color, and even his eyes became flustered.
"Hmm." Yue Xi walked out as if he had nothing to do, but he guessed the purpose of Zheng Baocai's visit.
"Brother, haha......" Seeing Yue Xi coming in from outside the door, Zheng Baocai's eyes flashed, and he said 'haha' in his mouth: "Have you eaten?" ”
"......" Yue Xi glanced at him, sat on the chair opposite the table, tidied up the hem of his robe, smiled and nodded, "Eat." ”
"Hey, brother, don't bring ...... like you" Zheng Baocai touched his head and smiled: "Why don't you ask my brother if he has eaten it......"
Yue Xi leaned back on the chair, raised one leg to rest on the other, and put one arm on the back of the chair and stared at him squintingly: "Could it be that Brother Zheng is only here to have a meal?" That's good to say, Ashu ......"
"Brother!" Zheng Baocai hurriedly stopped Yue Xi's words, and said to him: "You understand it in your heart, right?" Then don't be embarrassed for your brother! ”
"I really don't understand." Yue Xi shook his head: "You still have something to say." ”
"Done! Then the brother said with a shy face! Zheng Baocai slapped the table, took out the momentum of a strong man's broken wrist, and picked up a big burden on the ground and put it on the table, and opened it......
Yue Xi lowered his eyes and saw that the baggage was comparable to a grocery store, and there were a lot of things, including wooden combs, hairpins, head ropes, clothes, and powder boxes......
The bits and pieces are all women's things.
She raised her eyelids and looked at Zheng Baocai.
"Hey...... Hehe......" Zheng Baocai rubbed his hands and spoke and twisted: "Brother, if you look at me like this, my brother won't be able to speak." ”
"Oh." Yue Xi turned his face to look at the door, and a head appeared outside the door, and Yue Xi glared at him.
Ah Xiu quickly retracted his body and waved his hand at the cloud painting standing by the wall......
"Actually, my brother is here to propose marriage!" After making up his mind, Zheng Baocai put his hands on his knees and opened his mouth: "I should have come a long time ago, but my brother really can't open this mouth." ”
"Propose? There are several sisters and sisters in my family who are not out of the cabinet, who is Brother Zheng in the picture? Yue Xi's eyes were still looking at the door, and there was no smile on his face.
"Brother, don't make fun of your brother." From the time the two of them called each other brother to the present, Yue Xi has always been respectful and polite in front of him, and he has treated him as a brother when he speaks and does things. Now that the other party is cold to himself, Zheng Baocai feels awkward and a little unbearable.
"I'm not kidding Brother Zheng." Yue Xi replied softly.
"Who else could it be......" Zheng Bao was bored, so he had to continue: "It's the girl Xia Ran...... I didn't see that my brother had prepared all the gifts for the dowry! ”
"Humph!" Yue Xi snorted from his nose, and finally turned his head to look at him: "That's the case, may I ask Brother Zheng, where is the matchmaker?" ”
