Chapter 160: Smooth
As Uncle Wang spoke, he saw Xiao Dongqing timidly sticking out his head from the side of the door, looking at him curiously, and immediately remembered what he was doing here. He patted his head and smiled: "Brother Liao, you see that I only care about telling you these things that I am not in a hurry about, but I forgot to talk about the major events of the current meal." Big brother, hurry up and bring your sister-in-law and nephew over to dinner with me. ”
Because Liao Chengzhi listened to what Wang Shoucheng said, he had some expectations for choosing a place to settle down in the town. At this time, when he heard about the meal, he was not in a hurry, and he just wanted to pull Wang Shoucheng to talk more about the land in the town.
"Brother Shoucheng, it's still early for dinner! They usually sent the bride away, and then it was our turn to eat. Why don't you tell my brother about that piece of land! ”
Third Uncle Wang beckoned to Xiao Dongqing: "Come here, little guy, uncle will take you to dinner." After talking to Xiao Dongqing, he replied to Liao Chengzhi: "Brother Liao!" It only takes two or three days for you to look at that piece of land and inspect it yourself, and now I tell you more, I haven't seen it with my own eyes to feel the real surroundings. You should take your sister-in-law and me over for dinner, Uncle Xiaohu will arrange for you to sit at the table with those who pick up your relatives. If you've packed up, hurry over! ”
Liao Chengzhi heard Wang Shoucheng say this, so he hurriedly beckoned the child's mother to come out to meet someone. Liao Lin had been standing inside the door of the room, waiting for her man to call her out to greet someone. When she heard the child's father beckoning her out, she quickly dodged out from behind the door and bowed to Wang Shoucheng.
Third Uncle Wang hurriedly stretched out his hand to help, and was about to return the salute at the moment, but was stopped by Liao Chengzhi. "Brother, your Wang family treats me so politely Lao Liao, I don't even fart, brother, I thank you. Brother knows that your royal family treats you so kindly, and that's for your sake. Since my brother has won such a big favor from you, since then, my brother will treat you as a brother. Since you are a brother, please don't be polite to your brother and sister-in-law, and don't have these rudeness from now on. Good no good?! ”
Third Uncle Wang listened to Brother Liao's long story, so he replied with a smile: "Since the eldest brother said so, then the younger brother is better to obey his fate than to be respectful." Right now. Let's go over and eat! lest they wait for us to open the table. ”
Liao Chengzhi saw that Wang Shoucheng calmly accepted his kindness. I am very happy in my heart. happily hugged his little son, holding Xiao Dongqing with one hand, and Liao Lin followed silently behind. A family of four came to Uncle Xiaohu's house with Uncle Wang.
Third Uncle Wang first asked Erya to take Liao Lin to the women's seat, and then brought Liao Chengzhi to his grandfather and father to introduce each other to each other.
Here, the second girl also brought Liao Lin's to the eldest grandmother and the third aunt, introduced them to each other, and handed over Liao Lin's to the third aunt and the eldest grandmother. Take care of it. brought Xiao Holly to Wen Chao's children's table, and asked Wen Chao to help Xiao Holly fill the vegetables. In addition, Wang Ziqing, who is already in his teens from the third uncle's family, helped take care of it.
After the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Xiaolong and Anzi went to the county school to study. Originally, I planned to let them take leave to come back today, but unfortunately the dean and the old gentleman in the academy did not give him two holidays, saying that they had been delayed for almost a year. They can no longer be left to their senses. Otherwise, these children are taken care of by the two of them, where do they need adults to worry about it?!
The people of the Liao family have been arranged here. Er Ya went back to the kitchen to help with chores. In the kitchen, the second aunt asked the second aunt who came back from her busy work: "It's all arranged?" ”
"Hmmm! It's all arranged! While responding to the second aunt's question, Erya was busy transferring the dishes that had been loaded to the square table on the eaves of the kitchen porch. When the table is open for a while, it is convenient for the person who serves the food to serve the food.
The second aunt, who was lighting the fire in front of the stove, asked, "Which relative of our family is this?" Do you want your niece and daughter-in-law to entertain you personally? ”
While putting the boiled braised pork in the pot into the pot, he answered the question of the child's second aunt: "It's not a relative of our family, it's a fellow traveler named Liao Chengzhi who met on the road when the sixth grandfather's family first started running a business before the city guarded, and said that every time I met Shoucheng, who took care of him and didn't know anything." Now that he is here, our Wang family naturally wants to be hospitable, this is to rush people's favor!
The sixth grandfather said that in the future, if our Wang family has something to do, it is no longer a matter of which family, and a slightly bigger matter must be treated as an official matter in the clan. Those who are kind to our Wang family, our Wang family will treat each other with the kindness of the Wang family!
Listening to Xiaohu and his niece and daughter-in-law, if this Liao Chengzhi is willing, they may also have to hire this Liao Chengzhi as Shoucheng's helper to replace my family's original position. ”
The second aunt of the Wang family said in surprise: "Can this work?" I just heard that his woman and son are coming, so his father and mother can't stop him? ”
The second aunt put the pot full of braised pork on the table on the side, and after a while, she had her own special dish to serve it. Scoop another scoop of water into the pot and brush the pot so that the chef can cook the stir-fry for a while. While busy brushing the pot, he continued to chat with the child's second aunt about Liao Chengzhi.
The second aunt said: "This Liao Chengzhi's family is said to be similar to your family's Gui's in-laws, both of which are in a state where the father and mother are not kind, and the brother and sister-in-law are not harmonious. However, this Liao Chengzhi is more courageous than your son-in-law, and he insists on holding the debt of one hundred taels of silver from his father, and he has to split up the family. No, it is estimated that the family division fee has been repaid, so I took the woman and the child to settle down here, if this is left on your son-in-law, but I can't think of it. ”
The second aunt sighed and said, "Hey! My family's Gui's loyal and cowardly appearance can match my useless son-in-law, if my son-in-law is like this Liao Chengzhi, my family's Gui is afraid that he doesn't even have the courage to speak in front of him. At least now, my son-in-law is watching my family's Gui eat, and my family's Gui is now much more courageous than before. I don't have any big demands on my son-in-law, and I'm satisfied to be able to maintain the way I am. ”
The second aunt listened to the child's second aunt's helpless but very satisfied contradictory words, just smiled and didn't say anything anymore! Although she can't accept the argument of the second aunt of the child, what the second aunt of the child said also has her own reasoning.
After letting go of the first slot, it is time to start preparing for the bride to go out. Wen Chao was also arranged to give the wedding, and he was carrying the bucket of his children and grandchildren. But Wen Chao played a relationship because he played a meal with Xiao Dongqing, and he had to take Xiao Dongqing over with him, or he wouldn't do it.
The bride is particular about the time when she goes out, and if he makes a fuss, it will delay the time, so she had to temporarily decide to take Xiao Dongqing and Wen Yue's two children, make up an even number, and follow the family to the man's house. Fortunately, Xiaohu also has to carry the dowry, and he will take care of the three boys, and the second girl is also relieved.
The bridal went out, although there were a lot of carriages in Xiaohu's family, but unfortunately the wedding team was not used.
The countryside here is not like the countryside of later generations, and the villages are led to the towns by a wide cement road. The conditions here are very good, just like the Wangjia Zhuangzi has a stone road leading to the town. In good condition, there is a slightly wider gravel road that leads to the town with ox carts. In slightly better condition, there is a wider dirt road leading to the town. If the conditions are not good, there is not even a ridge road leading to the town, and you have to walk dozens of ridge roads to get to the town. There is the landlord who is hypocritical and bad, and he can block the road with thorns to prevent people from getting through.
The road to the town is not very smooth, let alone between the villages! It's good to be able to walk around the two villages. If you want to walk the carriage, that's impossible!
Sending off the bride, those who stayed at home, began to drink and eat again. Third Uncle Wang, who had already drunk and eaten, was busy sending back Liao Chengzhi and his wife and Xiao Dongming, who had also eaten, so that they could rest earlier.
Third Uncle Wang asked the nurse who came back with them to lead Liao Chengzhi and them to explain some of the living facilities at home one by one.
After Uncle Wang left, the nurse introduced the bathroom, toilet, and washroom in the guest room one by one, and explained how to use them. He also pointed out the well in the backyard and some facilities. Both the husband and wife of the Liao family said that they understood, and the nurse returned to Uncle Xiaohu's house, and then helped sweep the floor, pour tea and other chores.
As soon as the nurse left, Liao Lin and Liao Chengzhi were busy fetching water and boiling water, and they didn't take a good bath and sleep well for several days.
Erya, who was still busy at the uncle's house, was thinking about why the craftsman's family hadn't come over yet. What's going on over there? Or is there something wrong on the way?
Except for this one thing, I don't know the result at the moment, and everything else is smooth. Erya is quite comfortable this year.
A few years ago, Daman came back again, sent all the remaining corn to the Northland, and told the town there that he was going to open up the wasteland. The town there is very much in favor and support, just waiting for the second girl here to come over and talk about specific matters.
The children's clothing workshop is also doing very well, and the shopkeeper Chen has helped to get a big shop in the provincial capital. Now it is still under renovation, and Erya plans to open when the number and style of children's clothing reach a certain scale. At the same time, she also put the bags, fur coats, sweaters and knitted shirts of various materials in the shop for sale, and she did not plan to continue to sell them in the Hongxiu embroidery room.
Toothpaste, toothbrushes, and medicated soap are said to have been given as New Year's gifts to many relatives and friends, as well as dignitaries, nobles, and wealthy families. It seems that in two months, it will be available for sale on the market.
Liujialing's fields and barren mountains are well organized, and those hired workers are very active and energetic at present. Before the Chinese New Year, Er Ya gave each of them a New Year's fee of 500 yuan, which made many strong men cry.
The barren hill to the east of the town has also been cleared, although there is currently no cold-tolerant and drought-tolerant grass to grow in the north. But the last thing they need here is grass, and it's always easy to keep a few horses.
The school in the town, I don't know what method Director Shi used to invite a lifter and two showmen to be gentlemen, there are many students in the town, and the difficulty of the shortage of teachers has finally been solved.
This curator Shi even plans to arrange ten students to take the Xiucai exam this year, which is really unimaginable. Erya smiled in her heart and shook her head secretly!
Wu Fenggang also came back from completing the mission a year ago, and the news he brought made Erya even more happy. (To be continued)
