Lin Dameng squirted out a sip of wine.

Mrs. Lin took over the conversation and said slowly: "Daughter-in-law Sun, when there is no one to say this, let's talk secretly behind closed doors; In front of people, we still have to be humble, so as to save people from laughing at us, we don't know how thick the sky is! ”

Dameng's daughter-in-law was unconvinced: "How come I don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick? There is a basis for me to say this: Jiu'er has sent a letter, saying that he is on an errand under the White Tiger King. Is that far from the beginning? ”

Lin Dameng said: "There are hundreds of thousands of people under the White Tiger King's hands. Wait until your son comes out. ”

Everyone was already out of breath laughing, and they all staggered.

The big head of the forest also joined in the fun, and said loudly: "I think it's still my Chun'er who is the most promising: he can be literate and martial, and he can also be a carpenter, and he also has a tiger!" ”

Lin Chun hurriedly turned his face and pulled Huang Yuan to drink.

Huang Yuan didn't move, looking at him.

Huang Laoshi was dissatisfied when he heard this, and said with a stiff neck: "If you want to say that Chun'er is good, it's still a little worse than my Yuan'er, and my Yuan'er has also taken the Xiucai exam." ”

Although that Xiucai's reputation has been dismissed, he has never been admitted.

Lin Chun raised his eyebrows at Huang Yuan, with a smile on his face.

Huang Yuan was embarrassed, and hurriedly raised his glass and said, "Come, drink this cup!" ”

Under the eaves, the cuckoos rubbed their stomachs with laughter.

Huang Yuan caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye, hurriedly beckoned them over, and asked with a smile: "You say, who is better between me and Lin Chun?" Without waiting for an answer, he stared at the cuckoo and reminded, "I'm your brother!" ”

Lin Chun grabbed his arm, also stared at the cuckoo, and only shouted, "Cuckoo!" But there are a thousand other words in the eyes, which cannot be ignored.

Huang Qi'er and the others saw that the cuckoo was named, so they were silent. Let her speak first.

The rest of the people also fell silent and looked at the cuckoo.

In full view. The cuckoo laughed dryly twice and said, "What about testing me?" Luckily, I managed to read a few books. 'The ruler is short. Inch long; There is something lacking, and there is something unclear. 'Compare the two of you, how do you compare?' ”

Huang Yuandao: "People are intimate! ”

The cuckoo stuck out his tongue at him and said with a smile: "Huang Yuan, let's be broad-minded!" ”

Originally, whether he was her younger brother or the reincarnation of Li Dun, she should be emotionally biased; But Lin Chun was taught by her and "raised" since childhood. And it's very good, it's really hard for her to be biased.

Lin Chun smiled with satisfaction and said to Huang Yuan: "This is justice!" ”

Huang Yuan said stupidly: "This is unjust!" ”

Lin Chun privately agreed with his words, and looked at the cuckoo with a soft gaze.

The others were still confused, and they all asked what the cuckoo meant.

Ren Sanhe explained to everyone.

I heard Guixiang say: "I don't care what size, of course Brother Chunsheng is the best." ”

Lin Datou slapped the table in approval.

Huang Li said solemnly: "Of course, Brother Chunsheng is the best, and my brother is even better." They are the best of the best! ”

"Poof!"

The cuckoo hurriedly covered his mouth and turned his head.

Huang Qi'er and Xia Sheng hid behind people, smiled at each other, and kept silent in unison.

Lin family. Xiaolian sat alone in the courtyard, looking up at the starry sky, hearing the laughter and noise coming from next door, and was silent.

And outside the Huang family's courtyard. Here comes another group of people.

After dinner, the people who took advantage of the cool came around, and it happened that the Huang family had a happy event. They all came to the Huang family. During the greetings, everyone threw away the topic just now. Talking about the private school that was about to open, some people asked Lin Chun about entering the academy. Feng and the eldest daughter-in-law were surrounded by a bunch of mothers-in-law. His ears were full of praise and compliments, and his cheeks were sour with laughter.

Huaihua also came with her father and mother with her younger brothers and sisters.

Huaihua Niang praised Lin Chunyi to the eldest daughter-in-law, and then asked him when he would leave.

The big-headed daughter-in-law replied with a glorious face: "The day after tomorrow." His father was not at ease and wanted to send him there himself. said that he would recognize the road first, and when he looked back and thought of him, he went to Fucheng to see him, and he knew that he was leaving. ”

A daughter-in-law said: "Your family just hurts your son!" ”

Huaihua Niang hurriedly said: "The day after tomorrow? Well, it just so happens that our big strong family is going to send his sister to his aunt's house. I wanted to leave tomorrow, but since your family is also going out, it's better to wait a day and let them have a companion, and my father and I can rest assured. Otherwise, Da Zhuang took a girl to walk the mountain road, and I was always unsteady in my heart. ”

The eldest daughter-in-law was in a good mood, and nodded without thinking about it: "That's not easy, we'll go together the day after tomorrow." Qiusheng is also going to send it. ”

Huaihua Niang hurriedly thanked her, looking very happy.

Dameng's daughter-in-law listened to it and felt strange, and whispered to her sister-in-law, Gui Xiangniang: "Didn't you say you couldn't go, why did you want to go again?" In such a hot day and busy season, I am not afraid of being annoyed by others when I go to my relatives. Besides, I can't leave home. ”

It turned out that Guixiang had been in a bad mood recently, so her mother brought a letter to her sister-in-law, asking her to pick up her niece and daughter to live for a few days and be bored. In order not to be deliberate, it was also called acacia flowers. But Guixiang was not in the mood and didn't want to go, so Huaihua couldn't go. Who knew that he said to go again today, and he went alone, I don't know what it was for.

Gui Xiangniang shook her head, indicating that she was not clear. Banxiang said softly: "Isn't it to ask the eldest sister to help find a good family outside the mountain." ”

Dameng's daughter-in-law nodded and said, "I'm afraid that's the case." The acacia flowers are also big, and she can't look down on the people in this village, and the people she looks down on can't look down on her family, so she has to look for it outside. ”

Gui Xiangniang nodded understandingly.

The cuckoo was talking to the two girls of the cinnamon and acacia flowers, and gave them the small gifts they brought.

Guixiang heard the conversation between Huaihua Niang and the eldest aunt, and asked Huaihua: "Didn't you say that you won't go to your aunt's, why do you want to go again?" On such a hot day, it is cooler in our mountains, and it is hot outside the mountains, which is inconvenient. ”

Huaihua was slightly embarrassed, and chuckled: "It's my mother who said that it's good to go out and see the world." ”

After only saying this, he refused to say it again, as if he was very reluctant to talk about it, and turned to ask Du Juan about his various experiences in Fucheng.

Guixiang was puzzled, and also guessed that the second aunt wanted to marry this cousin outside the mountain, but she felt awkward, so she didn't want to say more. Thinking of this, she sympathized with her, and did not ask any more questions.

The cuckoo also thought that the acacia flower girl had other thoughts. This is not surprising, it's just Huaihua's thoughts, but she can't see clearly for a while. I didn't study it in detail at the moment, and I told them some folk customs of Fucheng.

Acacia Flower's eyes lit up when she heard this. Occasionally turned his head to look at Lin Chun's table, and his expression was even brighter. She said to the cuckoo, "I have seen your brother." I realized that Lu Dao was like this. ”

Cuckoo didn't know what to say.

Huaihua is like this, but I have seen some teenagers; Those young ladies who are raised in the boudoir. I don't see a foreign man all year round, no wonder I met a slightly handsome scholar, and when I heard him read a few lines of poetry, I fell in love.

Guixiang was displeased when she heard this, thinking that she would lose her soul when she saw Huang Yuan, so she felt that he was stronger than Lin Chunjiu'er, so she said, "Why haven't you seen it?" Brother Jiu'er and Brother Chunsheng are scholars. ”

The cuckoo snorted and laughed.

She said to Guixiang: "Exactly. Jiu'er and Lin Chun are both excellent. Lin Chun's talent and learning, even the masters of the academy praised him, otherwise he couldn't accept him so easily. ”

There is another sentence she didn't say: Many scholars in the academy may not be as good as him!

Guixiang listened to it and proudly "hummed" at the acacia flower. As if demonstrating.

Huaihua smiled and bowed her head, without explanation.

For a while, there was a full meal at the banquet, and Daddy Huang beckoned to clean up the table.

Sister Cuckoo hurriedly ran down, and even Guixiang and Sophora went to help.

After collecting the leftovers and chopsticks, making tea, and putting fresh melons and fruits, everyone continued to gossip, and the cuckoo sisters set up another small table to eat.

Because everyone was concerned about the conditions for entering a private school, they asked questions such as restraint and other questions. Huang Yuan saw that there were a lot of people coming tonight, so he stood up and explained aloud.

"Grandparents, uncles and aunts, the younger generation has suffered since childhood and has been living abroad for many years. When I returned today, I was going to do my filial piety in front of my grandparents and parents to make up for my years of regret. However, the younger generation's shoulders can't be picked. I can't lift my hand', I only recognize a few words. I want to support my parents and elders. I had to teach. In the end, I can't wait for my father and mother to work hard to support the younger generations. That's unfilial piety! ”

Everyone nodded their heads. They all secretly praised him for being sensible.

Father Huang and Huang Laoshi were fluttering, and their spirits were rippling.

Huang Yuan continued: "All the villagers and elders have intersected with the ancestors of the Huang family, and the younger generations dare not force heavy profits when it comes to bondage. However, if they don't accept it, the younger generation will not be able to support their parents. Therefore, after discussing with Li Zheng, the younger generation set this rule: those who are a little wealthier will receive 20 yuan per person per month; If there is no money, it may be substituted with something else; If you are really poor, you will not pay for it, and you can help the Huang family do farm work for a few days. ”

As soon as these words came out, the crowd exploded with a bang, and they all shouted good.

Everyone couldn't stop flattering Daddy Huang and others, saying that he had raised a good grandson, was benevolent, reasonable, and really a good person!

There is a careful busy asking, what can be used instead of money to tie the money.

Huang Yuan was suddenly a little embarrassed, and whispered a few words to Lin Dameng.

Lin Dameng stood up and said with a smile: "This thing is not good, nor is it expensive, as long as the Huang family can use it." For example, the Huang family has little labor and lacks wood to build a house to make furniture, no matter how poor your family is, as long as you have strong labor, go into the mountains to find some good wood to assemble, right? ”

As soon as the words fell, a man laughed and said, "I know!" ”

Not only did he understand it himself, but he also extended his explanation to the people around him: Don't send food, chickens, ducks and eggs to the Huang family, they don't lack this; Stones, wood, medicinal herbs, animal skins, etc., can be used, and then they will help with the work.

The cuckoo was amazed when he heard this, and thought to himself that this person's comprehension ability was very strong.

Huang Li smirked.

It was she who reminded her brother that she wanted to build a big house, so the wood and stone could also be used as a restraint. At that time, Huang Yuan was stunned and felt unheard of.

Although the things are decided, the amount to send must also be determined.

Huang Yuan said that it was the first time for him to make up for the fee, and what standard to set had to be discussed by everyone. Neither too much, lest the Huang family be poked in the back, nor can they be given arbitrarily, there is no fixed number, which is easy to make others dissatisfied.

At the moment, everyone spoke one after another, and drafted the charter in person: some said that they would send a few pieces of wood to the Huang family a year, some said how many stones to send, those who made tofu sent tofu, and those who made dried noodles sent dried noodles, there were all kinds of categories, and there was everything, only the Lin family gave money.

After the matter was decided, everyone felt relaxed and no longer burdened.

Those daughters-in-law saw that the son of the Huang family was so considerate to his father and mother, and he was young and handsome, and he spoke and acted generously, and they were very envious, so they asked Feng about his relatives.

Dameng's daughter-in-law smiled: "Ask this? I advise you not to ask, and it is in vain to ask. The nephew of the Huang family is like this, he will definitely get ahead in the future, and if he wants to marry, he will marry everyone's girlfriend. ”

When everyone heard this, they all believed it, and their hearts couldn't help but be sour.

Feng Shi was embarrassed and hurriedly said: "What's the matter!" Yuan'er Xiucai is gone, and he is not sure what will happen in the future. Didn't my sister-in-law hear about it: In that family, he first set a family, and people thought he had caused a lawsuit, and later quit his family. We can't afford this big family! ”

As she spoke, she subconsciously looked under the eaves of the porch. (To be continued......)
