Chapter 198: It's hard to choose a grain shop
Knowing that their daughter's future husband was ordered to be orphaned in the town, these parents had different ideas. Some felt quite satisfied, because they had also envied those children who were studying, learning martial arts and earning money. Now one of them is going to be my own child, which feels good!
There are also people who feel bad, but this is not a few. Among them, Wang Zhiling's mother and grandmother are very dissatisfied with their future son-in-law (grandson-in-law) is an orphan, which is far away from their mother's home, if they have children in the future, they will not even have a person to take care of the confinement, not to mention other miscellaneous things, which need the help of the master in the family.
I was unhappy, so I inevitably brought it out on my face, and when I returned home with my daughter silently, I had a seizure: "The grandfather of the family over there, why is he so unreliable?" You are far away from your mother's house, and you will find an orphan, and you will not even have a helper in the future! How can you spend this day? You too, why didn't you agree quietly?! ”
Wang Zhiling was the oldest of the children left in the south, and she had been taking care of everyone as their director. lived in grandpa's house, and the girls and children were basically dominated by her. She is also taking care of her younger brothers and nephews and younger sisters and nieces, and she is very assertive and courageous.
After listening to his mother's accusation, he glanced at his grandmother, who kept nodding in agreement, and immediately stretched his face, with a stern tone, and said, "Mother! From now on, don't confide in your words again, lest outsiders spread it to the ears of your sister-in-law and make her feel sad. Those words that my sister-in-law said today. You feel that grandpa is picking on that, but in fact, it is my sister-in-law who is taking care of our face, and it is too ugly to say.
Although the big over there. They didn't tell us anything, but when we chatted with our cousins, we still got some news. The people over there are different from ours, if their families really can't find a daughter-in-law, they are generally reluctant to find a foreigner to marry. Because marrying a foreign daughter-in-law will be looked down upon by the locals, and the children in the future will also be affected. Therefore, the conditions that grandpa fancied were good. The big grandmother helped to go to the house and secretly mentioned that she wanted to get married, but when they heard that we were from other places, they all openly and secretly refused.
Some people have heard about us. Those who take the initiative to come to the door to ask for relatives. After a little interview, they found that either the women were dead, or they had broken arms, lame legs, and were blind, and one of them was a fool. How could grandpa agree to such a family. There are many such people. Grandpa was very angry. Said that we should simply come back to our in-laws' house and stop being wronged.
We also plan to come back with my sister-in-law and them when the time comes. Later, because my sister-in-law saw that the orphans in the town were all older, it was time to get married. And they can be literate and martial, can make money, have good conduct, and are magnificent. I just want to let the fertilizer and water not flow into the fields of outsiders, let us pick up the ones with eyes in the past, and then talk face-to-face to understand each other's thoughts.
This is also the blessing of the big, in front of the sister-in-law. Say good things for us and praise us as much as possible. Say we've been there for so long. It's all about doing their duty, don't make trouble, don't chew their mouths and turn their tongues, my sister-in-law likes it when she listens to it, otherwise this thing won't come to us!
That's right! Mother! Do you remember that there was a girl named Momoko in the family over there? ”
Her mother originally listened to her daughter's words about being abused, and she felt uncomfortable. Suddenly listened to her daughter's question, she hadn't reacted yet, and it took a long time to remember. Asked rhetorically: "Is it the girl who almost killed her sister-in-law?!" What's wrong with her? ”
"Yes! It's that peach, because her sister-in-law has been at odds with her, thinking of ways to make trouble, and her in-laws haven't found it until now. Her mother also wanted to find a son-in-law among the orphans in the town, but her sister-in-law disagreed. They asked their grandfather to talk about Xiang, but their grandfather ignored them, and they all fell out with their grandfather because of this matter.
And before we left, there were already many families, all of whom were entrusting people to their cousins-in-law, trying to find sons-in-law among those orphans. Even the sister-in-law's mother-in-law's brother was looking for a daughter-in-law there, and when she heard that she already had a partner, she waited for the sister-in-law to go back to hold a wedding banquet. ”
Her mother was full of suspicion that no matter where or what era the orphan was, it was difficult for him to find a daughter-in-law. Despite what her daughter said, she still couldn't eliminate the dissatisfaction in her heart. It's just that she is not stupid, she will not gossip in front of her daughter, but as if she was really persuaded by her daughter.
Wang Zhiling's father and grandfather really trusted the grandfather in the south, and didn't think about those who had or didn't. Huanhuan went home to carry rapeseed oil, pastries, Songhua eggs, rice, tea, and candy brought back by his daughter (granddaughter). Wang Zhiling only spent a few taels of silver on these things, but when she got here, she was a precious treasure.
The effects of the drought have not yet fully passed, and many things are ridiculously expensive, and some of them may not be able to be bought even if they have money. The ones brought back by the girl this time can not only make them grow their faces among many relatives, but also allow them to save a lot of money in the market.
Wang Zhiling's grandfather happily moved things home, and at the same time followed his son to pretend to complain: "This child is really, why do you buy such expensive things?" When the time comes, someone from the family will not take it out to entertain people, and I will not go! Take it out, your mother doesn't know what it looks like to be distressed?! ”
Wang Zhiling's father laughed, ignoring his father's intention to show off in secret.
Another girl over there, Wang Caiqin, should be Wang Zhiling's niece according to her seniority. She also endured her mother's constant nagging patiently at home: "Why would your grandfather think about finding you some orphans, and you don't know whether to agree or not?" ”
Wang Caiqin is only fifteen years old, and her temperament is also relatively impatient, originally thinking that she had only seen her father and mother for so long, so she should talk well and kiss her fragrance. As a result, his mother kept complaining about her relatives, and she was a little annoyed at the moment. impatiently choked her mother: "You think your daughter is a sweetheart!" Right now, this object is still the cousin's sister-in-law who values us and gives us this opportunity, pick and choose by ourselves! Who has the ability to do this? If it weren't for the fact that they had no father or mother, they would still be able to let us choose left and right?! And their house is built by their sister-in-law, and they want to do things in the hands of their sister-in-law in the future. The sister-in-law also made arrangements. With a house to live in and money to earn, what else do you want? No matter how good a person is, we must have the conditions to make people look good! Don't just talk about yourself, your mouth is happy! When the time comes, what good will it do us to offend our own family who sincerely help us? ”
Wang Caiqin's mother complained for a long time, and was shot in vain by her daughter. He immediately shut up. After a while, I couldn't help but talk, and when I saw the child's father fiddling with a lot of things that his daughter brought back, he lost his temper at the child's father again: "What are you doing?" These things are expensive. Don't break it, it's not easy for relatives to take it out when the time comes. ”
Wang Caiqin didn't wait for her father to speak, so she answered: "The things I brought back are for our father, brother, nephews and nieces to eat, don't give them to others." ”
Her mother complains and complains. But I really love my daughter. And I haven't seen my daughter for a long time, and I found that my daughter has done a lot, and I am more or less vague in my heart, and my daughter loses her temper. Therefore, at this time, the girl said that this good thing should be kept for her own food, so she didn't say anything, she could only hide it secretly, so as not to be seen by people who came, and spread the word everywhere that their house was slammed.
They had a girl in the house who brought back a lot of things. Those who don't have girls in this ranks don't have to be envious, because of the things they brought over. At this time, it is also being distributed from house to house.
There are families whose own girls have brought things with their own families, and Erya does not count their families, but only brings a lot of things such as oil and rice, and takes the family as a unit, one for each family, and has everything. Everyone happily carried, carried, and carried, and trotted home all the way home grinning and happily.
The families of the other surnames of this Zhuangzi all watched the excitement from afar. Occasionally, the Wang family who ran past them, they would try their best to hold on to them, and ask what good things they had gotten.
Some of the Wang family members are worried that people will go to their house when the time comes, 'clearly saying that borrowing is actually wanting' to divide their grain and oil, so they are all tightly covered, and they say they don't know if they ask anything, and they haven't gone home to open it yet!
This person with a foreign surname didn't dare to rush to see other people's things, so he had no choice but to let go of the Wang family.
Since the Wang family brought back a lot of fine corn seeds from the south last year, they have been particularly valued by the mayor. I heard that their family in the south is very powerful, not only rich but also rich and able to fight. I also heard from the mayor of the town that their family was going to come here to open up the wasteland, and the town was looking forward to them coming sooner or later, but now that they really came, they didn't dare to provoke the Wang family.
No matter what other people's families think in this big Zhuangzi, after they finished dividing things, they didn't invite people with foreign surnames into the house, and the Wang family sat together to talk about the situation on both sides. Grandpa said that the mayor was looking forward to them coming, and Er Ya was a little surprised: "Why is this mayor so anxious to come over?" ”
Grandpa sighed and said, "Didn't Daman say when he left last year, are you going to come over to open up the wasteland?!" So, the mayor is looking forward to it. Because of the last drought, less than half of the people who fled the famine came back, and then the plague killed many people. Now most of our land here is desolate! If no one cultivates for three years, the court will punish the officials here. Otherwise, they would be in such a hurry! ”
Er Ya was not surprised when she heard this, she still understood this. However, she was not in a hurry to find the mayor of the town. The next day, they were busy first, but they went to the local town to check the situation and see where to choose the right grain store.
This town is as big as their Liuhe County, but it is not as prosperous as their county. The house was low, grey, not bright at all. Even in the suburbs, there are adobe houses made of yellow mud, which are neither like the caves in the northwest nor the boxy, formal houses in the south, but with their round spires, they look like the common warehouses in the south.
The flow of people is not as much as that of their county, but there are people coming and going on the streets, but there are very few scattered and scattered, and it can be seen from their anxious and melancholy expressions that this is not to consume, most of them are still struggling and sorrowful for life!
There were two grain stores in this town, but Er Ya looked at the opposite side for nearly three quarters of an hour, and no one came to buy anything.
Erya came up for most of the day, and the more she looked at it, the more depressed she became, it seems that it is really not suitable to run a grain store in such a place. Although with General Qin's promise, their family's grain could be sent to the army, Er Ya still felt that it would be better for his family to have a grain store.
But fortunately, there are not many fields in my house at present, so there is no need to be so anxious about opening a grain shop. If this town can't do it, you can also investigate other places, if you have the heart to do something, there is nothing you can't do. (To be continued......)
