Chapter 179: Peach's Marriage

The three gentlemen were surprised that the child's hand was maliciously done by his elders, and they were extremely resentful. But in a blink of an eye, I was shocked by the child's last words, what to say, what to say that this proprietor wants to ask a disabled person to be the bookkeeper???

Speaking of which, they are not qualified to come along, and they are all begging their own dean to recommend them to come over and have a look, and listen to the truth of the rumored 'Xiucai's monthly payment of seven taels of silver'. Now that they see such a disabled person, they can be treated like a normal person, and they will have to focus on using it as a bookkeeper in the future, their hearts are really shocked.

No matter how the hearts of these three gentlemen turned over the river and the sea, boiling their enthusiasm, but in the face of the fragrant pot of meat brought up, they unconsciously swallowed the saliva that came out with the rice, and almost stretched out their chopsticks to share the children's deliciousness. However, remembering that the same pot of meat was already on their table, he hurriedly returned to his original seat with the bowl and buried himself in the bitter eating.

Because there are many people, there are several pots to cook the dishes, so there is a first and the last. However, the dishes of the guests are served first, and then the children can be served.

The guests, who served the food earlier than the children, all lost their former elegance, and they were all sweaty and full of oil. It's not because they had a bad life in the past, and now they have a good meal, so they are so gluttonous. It's because this big pot of meat is really delicious. Whether you admit it or not, this big pot of meat just can't tell what's going on, and it's delicious to cook it any way. It smells fragrant and tastes good, not to mention the broth. Soaked rice, dipped in vegetables, no matter how you eat it, it is delicious.

The guests inside ate refreshingly, and the guards guarding outside were not bad. Each of them holds a large soup bowl of meat and broth for rice. Hula hula gobbled up, and some even licked the remaining soup with their tongues after eating.

After eating, they didn't leave immediately. The prefect rested for a while, consumed food, drank two cups of tea, and then got up to say goodbye and left with a large group of people and carriages.

After sending those people away, everyone's expressions relaxed. It's no longer tense. The girls in the backyard were all released, and the alien children and their mothers who were hiding in the workshop at the other end also hurried out. I rushed to the cafeteria to eat, I was really hungry.

Grandpa Tai is old, although he just follows back and forth, and he doesn't need to say anything. But I couldn't bear it after a morning of non-stop wandering. After eating, he lay down directly in Director Shi's bedroom. The grandfather hurriedly called the doctor over to take a look.

The doctor finished taking the pulse, smiled and said to the few people around him: "Don't panic, the old man is fine, but he is tired, he is sleepy at this time, just let him sleep for a while!" ”

Xiaohu saw that it didn't matter to his grandfather, so he was in a hurry to go back first, there were too many facts about him. Arrived at home Xiaohu. The first thing I asked when I saw Erya: "Daughter-in-law, can our family be the same as Brother Chen's family." Looking for a housekeeper? ”

Er Ya has no objection to this, but he is not looking for it but buying it. Erya raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Hey! DID YOU KNOW? You're getting more and more stylish now! ”

Xiaohu smiled and passed it as a joke. He continued: "I see that Uncle Liao has done a good job of helping to manage those children in the town during this time. If he is asked to follow the third uncle as a helper, I think it would be a pity. So you want to ask him to be our butler, what do you think? ”

Erya shook her head, and when she saw that Xiaohu was very disappointed, she opened her mouth to explain: "Uncle Liao is busy building his own house in the town, and at the same time helping to take care of those children, everything is done in an orderly manner, there is no difference, and he is indeed a talent." However, if we invite him to be our butler, don't you think it would be overkill?

Me! I plan to let Uncle Liao follow the shopkeeper Chen to learn two years of experience, and when he comes back, he will be the big shopkeeper of our family. As for the housekeeper, it is not appropriate to find an outsider, but to buy a capable and loyal one to come back. Aren't you going to the provincial capital tomorrow to buy things from the celebration banquet! By the way, go and talk to Shopkeeper Chen about this, and ask him to pay attention to the people in this regard. Let's just say that the first thing is loyalty, and the second is ability! ”

Xiaohu looked at his daughter-in-law with two words of admiration in his eyes, and the second girl was a little embarrassed, and stretched out his hand to push him: "What is the opinion?" Why are you so stunned! Like a pervert! ”

"Listen to you! Or are you a little more thoughtful than I am. Xiaohu saw that his daughter-in-law misread the meaning of his gaze, and his first reaction was shy, and when he wanted to refute it, he felt very embarrassed, forget it! Don't say anything.

Erya knows most of the things in the family, and Xiaohu is dependent on herself, but she is still used to asking Xiaohu's opinion on everything. On the one hand, it is to respect each other, and on the other hand, it is also to think that Xiaohu can point out the places that he has not considered.

Seeing that Xiaohu's carriage had not been brought back, Erya asked him, "Did you come back alone?" Who's going to be behind them? ”

Xiaohu nodded and replied, "I want to come back first to do things, and the eldest uncle and second uncle will catch up." By the way, what about the little dragon? ”

"In the room! Do you have something? ”

"It's nothing! It's a pity that Xiaolong didn't go today, and their dean and husband have come over. However, they don't seem to know that I am Xiaolong's brother. Xiaohu knew that Dean and Mr. Xiaolong didn't recognize him, and he didn't take the initiative to say that he was Xiaolong's brother.

Xiaohu paused and asked again, "Shall we send invitations to Xiaolong's dean and gentleman?" And the prefect, do you want to send it? Do you want to send it to the prefectural order? Shopkeeper Chen, Brother Chen, Shopkeeper Zhao, Shopkeeper Zhang, and Brother Li all have to be invited? ”

Erya frowned, looked at Xiaohu puzzled, and said: "This is not our own business, but for those children to improve their status in front of their respective families, but also to give Director Shi so many years of hard work, and to give a witness to the children who have become married." What does it have to do with you and me? Don't pull so many people over, lest others think that we have some shady purpose. ”

Xiaohu listened to Erya's words and felt a little empty, to be honest, he did have a little vanity in it. After all, there are mortals with seven emotions and six desires, and they all come to inspect the prefect. He's really a little fluttery. Seeing that her daughter-in-law didn't have the slightest intention of boasting like an outsider, she couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. He lowered his head and whispered, "Oh! I know. Then I'll go and inform Butcher Xie now, help us buy two pigs and come back, and kill them tomorrow afternoon!" ”

Seeing that Xiaohu was suddenly very depressed, I wanted to know why, and I was afraid that too much nosy would hurt the feelings between husband and wife, so I should wait patiently for him to say it himself! But the business is to be managed: "You don't have to go elsewhere to buy it, your grandfather's family caught several pigs in April and May last year." I guess I can kill it now, you go to his house and ask. At least three heads should be bought, and there are few vegetables in this season. Try to fill it with as many meat dishes as possible. ”

Xiaohu went to his grandfather Wang Bengui's house to order three pigs, kill them tomorrow afternoon, and then go to someone else's house in Zhuangzi to order chickens, ducks and geese. It usually takes three to four years to recover after a drought, but Wangjiazhuang estimates that it will be able to recover by the end of the next year. It can be at least seventy percent of its pre-drought state.

Erya was not idle at home. She is listing the items to be purchased in the provincial capital tomorrow. She was talking to the nurse about what else to buy, checking if there was anything missing from the list, and the grandmother came.

Xiao Hei is scurrying around the big grandmother, jumping and picking up, don't look at it so unruly, it is also treated differently, only people close to the second Ya's family will be so warmly received. If it doesn't look at it, it stands at the door and screams. I won't let you in.

Erya looked up at the yard and saw that it was the eldest grandmother who had come. Hurriedly stood up and went out to meet him.

"Grandma is here! Grandpa, are they back? ”

The eldest grandmother shook her head with a smile and replied to Erya: "Not yet, it will take a while." Your big, I'm here today to tell you something! ”

Erya helped the grandmother into the hall and sat down, and the nurse made a cup of tea and served it to the grandmother. The eldest grandmother took the teacup, looked at the green tea leaves on it, smelled the unique fragrance of the new tea, and said with an exaggerated smile: "Ouch! Such a good tea, why brew it for me? I can't drink it, isn't that a waste of good things! ”

Erya looked at the eldest grandmother who was obviously happy that she was treated specially, so she had to smile and hold the eldest grandmother: "How many years have the eldest grandmother drunk this kind of tea, and you are afraid that you can't swallow ordinary tea, right?!" ”

The eldest grandmother was a little proud, laughing, not speaking, lowering her head and sipping tea with the lid of the cup while taking a sip of tea, not to mention, there is really a little elegance of a noblewoman.

The nurse then also made a cup of tea for Erya and brought it up, and Erya listened to the grandmother while sipping the tea: "Peaches and her mother don't know where they heard that on the day of the celebration banquet, the girls from the north will be asked to meet boys, so she begged me to come and tell you if you can count peaches as well."

This hateful person is also pitiful! This peach was tossed by her sister-in-law, and she can't talk about her in-laws until now. People have also shrunk a lot, they shrink at home all day long and don't dare to go out, and occasionally come out, and they don't dare to look up when they see people, and it's really pitiful to look at! If you can help her, you can help her, okay? ”

Erya was silent for a while, and then solemnly said to the eldest grandmother: "Grandma! To be honest, I don't have the slightest hatred for Peaches or any of them. But I will never disregard the nature of her and her family because I sympathize with her as she is now, and go to the scourge of those children who are already fatherless and motherless, and whose fate is tragic enough.

As for Peach, grandmother, don't look at her like a bear now, once she gains power, she will still show off her power and bully people who are weaker than her with high spirits. Her true nature has been cultivated by her parents, and she can't change it.

If I really want her to marry a good family, I have a way, but I think Momoko and her mother probably won't listen! ”

As soon as the grandmother heard Erya's words, she knew that it was impossible for Momoko to marry one of the children in the town. Since Liu Yatou said that there is a way, then whether Peaches and their family agree or not, they have to listen to it first.

The eldest grandmother looked at Erya and said, "Tell me about it, I'll make a calculation, if it's really good, then you don't have to care about their opinions, your grandfather has the right to decide their family's affairs." ”

Erya nodded, and said in a slow tone: "I think it's best to send Peaches to the Northland tribesmen, let her find an ordinary family over there to pick up relatives, not only can find a good character, but also restrain her from relying on her mother's family behind her, and she will spill at every turn."

In fact, Peaches is very smart, and I believe that when she gets over there, she knows that her mother's house is far away and there is nothing to rely on, so she will live her life carefully. After a long time, she has developed a habit, as long as she doesn't do it, her future life will be no worse. Moreover, if her future in-laws bully her unreasonably, we will also come out. No matter how bad our own girl is, not everyone can be bullied for no reason.

Grandma, you can think about it, and you can also talk to Peaches and her mother. If they agree, when we pass, tell her to pack up and follow. (To be continued......)
