82_82370 On the evening of the first day before leaving, Erya still felt uneasy. ran to the uncle and the second uncle's house again and explained: "Auntie! You must take care of several children at home! When it's hot, if the children want to go down to the river to bathe, don't stop them, go to your grandfather's house or your grandfather's house to watch the older children. lest it be more dangerous for them to sneak into the river without being sensible. ”

The eldest aunt looked at her nephew and daughter-in-law who used to be calm and capable, and she looked so anxious and unsure at this time. replied to her: "You can rest assured!" When the time comes, I will take the green bamboo and the fruit to live in your house, and I will definitely take care of the two of yours. ”

Erya nodded with a little satisfaction, and then quickly turned to the next door and said to the second aunt: "Second aunt! The work of sweaters can be temporarily stopped for two months, one is that the weather is hot and sweaty, and the people who weave clothes are uncomfortable, and the other is that there is already another one in the provincial capital that is selling at a low price, so we will temporarily slow down. During this time, you are concentrating on helping the eldest aunt at home to watch my two children together, I am afraid that Hongguo will not be able to control the two little guys, and the eldest aunt will have something else, and it will be bad if you can't take care of a mistake! ”

The second aunt is more exaggerated than the eldest aunt, and the eldest aunt just sighs in her heart that her nephew and daughter-in-law are so funny now. The second aunt called out directly: "My mother! Little Tiger daughter-in-law! When did you become so verbose? I was just in the yard when I heard you chatting with your lady next door, and then I came to talk to me again. When you and your husband go out, we don't need you to explain, so we will naturally take the initiative to go over and help watch the two children. Rest assured! I'm so old, I don't think I'm as eloquent as you are now! ”

Erya smiled helplessly, no way! I don't want to be so neurotic and annoy others, but she doesn't seem to explain so much. This heart just can't be steady.

The next day, the couple took a few girls from Daman and Beidi to go home and follow suit.

As for Wang Dacai's sister Peach, although Erya was reluctant to take her, she still kindly asked the grandmother: "Will Peach go to the Northland?" ”

The eldest grandmother pursed her lips and said, "Leave her alone!" Your grandfather said that in the future, don't worry about his family's affairs, as long as you don't violate the clan rules. Let them go! ”

It seems that they have a lot of opinions about grandpa and grandma. At this time, Mo Mo has already picked out his dissatisfaction with Grandpa Tai, and with Grandpa Tai's mentality of protecting calves, he will never say anything to let their family go. But Erya doesn't care so much. Anyway, it's not in her pot whether it's dry or thin.

In addition, I brought several truckloads of rice, a lot of vegetable oil, pastries, wine, sugar, and other specialties here. Some are gifts that Xiaohu and his wife want to give to the people over there. Some of them were bought by the girls and brought back to their homes, and there were more than a dozen carts of them.

Pass through Fucheng. Erya and Liao Chengzhi explained some business matters. Liao Chengzhi now basically handed over the matter of building a house to Dahong and Xiangzi to help take care of it, and he is now taking two male guys and Zhu Jinling to stay in the shop. If you encounter any problems, you can go directly to the shopkeeper Chen and ask him to help teach and deal with them.

When he set off again from Fucheng, Xiaohu found that there was an extra useless thing in the car. It's a very thin and long iron rod. He asked his daughter-in-law curiously: "Daughter-in-law!" What is this? Why is it used? ”

This iron rod is actually a hollow iron rod for geological exploration, which can be used to drill into the ground to a depth of two meters, and fill in the hollow soil from the iron rod. You can see what is going on two meters underneath. This is Erya wants to be on the mountains of the Northland to detect those mountains for coal. When the time comes to buy a mountain, you can also have a bottom. After all, not all the mountains there produce coal.

But this Er Ya couldn't explain it so clearly to Xiaohu, so he had to say perfunctorily: "I can't tell you this now, it's better to wait for me to use it, you can see it yourself, and then you will understand why you did it!" ”

hurried all the way, and finally arrived at the Northland Wang's house after more than 20 days. The entire royal family of the Northland went out and ran to their grandfather, Wang Bende, to visit Xiaohu and them. It's just that when they arrived, they didn't see them, only a few girls from the Wang family sat at the square table in the living room in a regular manner, accepting all kinds of inquiries from their grandfather.

"How are you living over there? Do you cook your own meals or eat exclusively at someone's house or do you take turns eating at someone's house? ”

Wang Zhiling replied to her grandfather: "We all ate at Grandpa's house at the beginning, and Grandma will cook two meat dishes every day for us." Later, a few of us felt that it was too wasteful to eat meat every day, so we asked the grandmother not to cook meat every day, but the grandmother still did it. We really couldn't help it, and we were all older, so we discussed and told our grandfather that we would cook for our younger brothers and nephews by ourselves. At first, Grandpa Tai disagreed, but it was the second sister-in-law who persuaded Grandpa Tai to live by ourselves, and gave us rice, noodles and dishes on time. My sister-in-law also gave my brother and nephews 100 yuan a month, so that they could buy pancakes to eat when they were hungry during recess. ”

Grandpa nodded and said softly, "Hmm! He asked, "Then have you decided on your family affairs?" ”

Although Wang Zhiling is the oldest, she is only sixteen or seventeen years old, and she will feel shy when she asks about their relatives at this time. He blushed immediately, lowered his head, and nodded imperceptibly.

Grandpa's eyes lit up, and he asked urgently: "What kind of family is it?" ”

At this moment, the girls who were still shy were at a loss. The men are all orphans, how can I tell my grandfather?

Wang Zhiling was still more sophisticated, and immediately replied: "Grandpa, when you wait for the second sister-in-law to come out, ask her!" My sister-in-law understands better! ”

Grandpa thinks about it, these girls can't always go out, how can they know who is who?! It's more reliable to ask Xiaohu's daughter-in-law.

The rest of the Wang family, who came to the door one after another, began to ask about the children who were still studying in the south.

"Reiko! How's your nephew studying over there? Obedient or disobedient? ”

Wang Zhiling hurriedly replied: "I heard that Mr. said that he learned well, but he was a little naughty, but he was still able to listen to persuasion." Not too much! ”

"Hey! That's good! We just don't worry about him at home! When I was around us before, I was very naughty, and I didn't believe it! I'm afraid he'll do the same in other people's homes. ”

"No, it won't! Since you're gone, they've become sensible! At the beginning, they ate at Grandpa's house, and Grandpa Tai asked them to eat at a table with Grandpa. They are very sensible, and they have to wait for their grandfather to take the first bite of chopsticks before they pick up the chopsticks and start eating. They also say that it is the gentleman sue sù their table manners. There are so many more etiquettes and that etiquette, if you see them now, you must not believe that they are the children of our parents. Wang Zhiling remembered that those younger brothers and nephews always instructed them to do this and say that. I can't help but feel funny. They were all children who grew up in the mud. Suddenly, the crepe became exquisite, how awkward it looked.

They were chatting with questions and answers, and Erya had already washed them.

As soon as I arrived, I was busy washing my hair and taking a shower. It's a bit rude to say. But there is no way for Erya not to wash. It's really uncomfortable for them to talk about this way.

The official roads of this era were still gravel roads, and the problem with gravel roads was that when it rained, there were potholes everywhere, and they had to help push carts from time to time. And then there's the mud. Especially in April and May, the rain suddenly becomes more abundant. Although the north side is not as frequent as the south side of the rainstorm a day, it is still enough for them to stand it.

Besides, when the weather is fine, the sand of the road is slightly dried, and the sand flies with the horse's hooves. After running for a while, even my hair was dusty and grayish.

The girls were all sitting in the carriage, and it would be nice to have a curtain to cover it. Like Erya, Xiaohu, Daman and the coachmen who ride horses and drive chariots. But I was depressed. Xiaohu always jokes that today he can scrape two catties of dirt off his face!

Erya's half-dried hair was simply coiled. You can't wear your hair in front of guests. One is not dignified, and the other is disrespectful!

As soon as she sat down, her grandfather couldn't wait to ask about the girls' marriage. Er Ya replied: "Originally, grandpa was looking for it in our side where the family conditions were relatively good, but it turned out that the conditions were good, and the family was not so easy to get along with. Later, a few families came to propose, and the grandmother secretly visited others, and the family was not good, either this was undesirable or that was undesirable. As soon as Grandpa saw that if this continued, he would delay the family affairs of these girls in our family, so he planned to let them come back with him this time, or to find out from your own side.

It was only later that when I was in the school in the town, nine of the ten students who were taken by Director Shi to take the children's examination were selected, and one of them did not take the exam because he was sick. And then all of a sudden, the children in the town became golden. Many girls from families want to marry the children in our town. Grandpa and grandma are in line with the principle that fertilizer and water do not flow into outsiders' fields, and let the girls in our family give priority to choosing husbands. No, before leaving, Grandpa Tai had already dealt with all this matter. Now wait for us to build the house over there, and then inform you of the past as parents and do a happy event!

Grandpa said that you don't need to buy a dowry here, and the boys don't need to give too much dowry. Just take out the silver jewelry and make a whole set from beginning to end. I just don't know, what kind of thoughts do you guys have?! If you have any comments here, you can put them forward in advance, and when I go back, I will pass on the message to my grandfather. ”

Wang Bende didn't speak for a long time, there were no daughters and granddaughters of his family among these girls, and the girls of other families couldn't come to him to call the shots. Therefore, Ban Xiang said: "It seems that the girl in our family over there really made the sixth uncle worry a lot!" Although their respective parents are here today, I think it is better to let them go home and discuss it carefully, and then listen to their opinions. ”

After saying to Erya, he said loudly to the crowd standing in the room: "You go home and discuss with your daughter, if you have any requirements, say them in advance, I can talk to Uncle Six!" ”

There were a few angry voices in the crowd, "Okay! Let's go back and discuss! ”

Then the girls were taken back by their respective parents, and only they knew whether they were really discussing things or were anxious to find out about the man's situation! However, Erya believes that as long as they are smart people, they will not refuse such a rare family affair. (To be continued).
