Chapter 124: Bragging
But it was said that on the morning of the second day of the junior high school, the three brothers of Tang Yang first went to the village to pay New Year's greetings to Master Zhou, and after coming back, the whole family went to Lijia Village together.
Tang Qing'er no longer participated in the bickering of her younger siblings, but watched them bickering from the sidelines, and helped a vulnerable one at the right time.
I heard Jiao'er say to Feng Xiao angrily: "Why are you like this, when you went out just now, you obviously told me that you don't need to write ten big characters today, just because you couldn't tell me just now, let me continue to write after I go home at night, you still have to check, what is the reason." ”
Feng Xiao scoundrel said: "Did I say that when I went out in the morning?" I don't remember, I just remember me saying that if you do well today, I'll skip your ten big word homework. ”
"You...... You...... You play Lai, eldest sister, Feng Xiao plays Lai," Tang Jiao'er, who can't say Feng Xiao, immediately move the rescuers, Tang Qing'er has long been surprised, and I don't know why, since Feng Xiao's brothers and sisters came to the house, Jiao'er has taken care of Feng Manna as a sister, but to Feng Xiao, whenever he says anything Jiao'er always opposes, the two of them are tied like this.
Tang Qing'er didn't bother to pay attention to the two of them, and refused: "Whoever is powerful will listen to whomever he is, obviously, Xiao'er is stronger, then you can only listen to him." ”
"Hmph, I know that the eldest sister is unreliable, every time it's like this," pursed his lips and glared at the eldest sister.
Feng Xiao didn't know why, she loved to tease Jiao'er, and when she couldn't see her pouting, she felt uncomfortable, so she had to make her anxious or puff out of her anger to forget it.
Tang Yang didn't listen to what was going on outside the window, and kept looking at the book in his hand silently, Tang Liang's fingers were quickly calculating, quite like Mr. Bookkeeper, the youngest Man'er leaned on Tang Qing'er's body, looking at Jiao'er and her eldest brother with a smile.
The ox cart drove slowly, even though the weather was very cold, everyone was wrapped in thick cotton clothes, and the legs were covered with quilts but they didn't feel the slightest cold, maybe the big guy's heart was warm.
After a while, they arrived at Li's mother's house, the family quickly got off the car, the three Tang Yang brothers helped their father take things off the ox cart, and the rest of the people had already entered the house to keep warm.
At this time, Li's eldest brother and sister-in-law also came from the kitchen, and the babies also gave them New Year's greetings, and did not reach out to ask for money like last year, knowing that the uncle had a lot of places to spend money at home.
Li Bin then also followed, every year on the second day of the new year, he went to the town to pay New Year's greetings to his master, today because of the examination of Xiucai, his classmates agreed to stay at home on the second day of the new year this year, and went to the town to visit the New Year with his classmates on the fifth day of the junior high school, so he stayed at home to read, and heard that the sister-in-law's family came over, and he was busy coming out to pay New Year's greetings.
Tang Qing'er saw Li Bin very few times, except for the last time Brother Qiu got married, and in some impressions, he stayed at the thin teenager a few years ago, and in a blink of an eye, he was admitted to Xiucai, and he grew taller and burly, and he was no longer the weak young man.
Li put the child in his arms on the kang and let Qing'er take care of it, and she went to the kitchen with her sister-in-law to prepare lunch.
Tang Tiezhu took out ten taels of silver from his arms, took out five taels and gave them to his father-in-law, and gave the remaining five taels to his eldest brother, seeing that both of them were postponed, he said with a flat face: "The situation at home has been getting better and better in the past three years, and you have not enjoyed the blessings of me and my mother-in-law, borrowing our light, and now my daughter-in-law and I have the ability to help you, you are still polite, they are all a family, the filial piety that should be respected, the help that should be helped, what is there to say." ”
Because the second uncle was not there, thinking that there was still money for his family in his arms, thinking that he had to go home today, he might not be able to touch it, so he took out two taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to his father-in-law: "This is for the second uncle's family, although there are not as many as the eldest brother, but I think the second brother also knows why, last year, the eldest brother's family was married, and Brother Bin was admitted to Xiucai, and he would have to spend more in the future, so he gave the eldest brother's family so much." ”
Lao Li Tou took the money and said: "Don't worry, the second child won't think much about it, each family has its own difficulties, and mutual understanding can get by." ”
Hearing his father-in-law say this, Tang Tiezhu's hanging heart was also put down, and he talked to them about growing mushrooms.
In the kitchen, Li talked to his sister-in-law, Li's wife was burning the fire by the stove pit, Li was cutting vegetables, and said to the sister-in-law who was stir-frying: "Sister-in-law, do you know a good young man at home?" ”
Qin asked, "Why do you care about this!" ”
Li said lightly: "Qing'er is also older, I think I should tell her about people, so I will let you and my mother help me take a look, if it looks good, it will be settled." ”
Qin Shi put the dishes on the plate and said, "I told you before, my eldest brother's nephew, what do you think?" ”
Li put down the kitchen knife in his hand, turned around and said: "Actually, I thought about it too, but then I felt that it was still inappropriate, if the two of them live in the future and quarrel, wouldn't it make you embarrassed to be caught in the middle?" I'm saying that I don't want my daughter to suffer. ”
Qin thought about it, although the conditions of the eldest brother's family were good, but that was a few years ago, in recent years, the sister-in-law's family has begun to slowly get rich, it seems that it is much richer than the eldest brother's family, Qing'er is a clever person who can make money, since ancient times, they have been married to high-ranking families, low-door marriages, and the sister-in-law's family is living a good life, and she must want her daughter to marry.
Li's grandmother disagreed with Li's idea and said: "What's this, with your sister-in-law in the middle, Qing'er will not be guilty of marrying in the future." ”
Li didn't want to dwell on this topic, he just wanted to discuss it with the two of them to see if there was a suitable candidate.
The Qin family saw that her mother-in-law was talking, and her sister-in-law didn't talk about this topic, so she knew that her nephew must be out of play, and she felt a pity for him, Qing'er is blessed who marries whoever marries.
Qin Shi smiled and said: "Okay, mother, even if this matter has passed like this, my sister actually opened her mouth to tell me about this, she must not treat me as an outsider, she is saying that Qing'er, this girl is what I have seen since I was a child, and it hurts like a daughter, where is I willing to let her suffer in the future, I will ask someone to inquire about it, and I will guarantee a letter to my sister." ”
Li was happy this time, walked to Qin's side, put his arm around her, and said coquettishly like before he got married: "My sister-in-law still understands me and understands what I think in my heart, Qing'er, you can help me ask about it, I'm asking others to inquire." ”
"You, people say that there are hundreds of women in a family, how did you come here, it seems that your daughter can't get married, and you have to ask someone to inquire," Qin teased.
Li Shi said to them in his heart: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, the conditions at home are better than before, so I want my daughter to marry into a good family, there is no evil mother-in-law, no embarrassed sister-in-law, difficult concubine, live a plain and comfortable life, don't be like yourself, after half a life of hard life, finally get through,"
Li's grandmother also regretted marrying her daughter to Tang Tiezhu, but since they got married, the husband and wife Qin Se and Ming, although the life is hard, but the relationship has been very good.
The Qin family is also a mother, of course she understands her sister-in-law's thoughts, and understands: "Don't worry, I will definitely help you with this." ”
Li thanked his sister-in-law gratefully, in fact, she was still a little cautious, the sister-in-law's eldest brother opened a shop in the town, and asked him to help inquire about some good sons in the town, if it was really good, even if it was a proposal to the man's family, it was nothing.
The three of them were talking about Tang Qing'er's lifelong events in the kitchen, but she listened to her father in the house talking about what she had said before, and saw that her grandfather and uncle were looking at his father with admiration, and she couldn't help but have three black lines on her forehead.
Tang Qing'er gently patted the taro that was about to fall asleep, and whispered, "Good baby, go to bed quickly,"
The eldest of the Li family asked, "Brother-in-law, how did you come up with this mushroom method?"
Tang Tiezhu didn't expect his eldest brother to ask this question, and stumbled and said, "That's it...... It is...... Qing'er found out and told me this method. He secretly glanced at his daughter, and seeing that she didn't look at herself, he exhaled softly.
"What! It was Qing'er who thought of it, so I said that this girl was smart, and I really said it," the boss of the Li family turned his head and began to praise Tang Qing'er.
Tang Qing'er had to save some face for her father, tunnel: "Uncle, in fact, I found it by accident, so I told my father about this method, how to plant it is still the method that my father came up with, so I can't just find it, I have to rely on my father to plant." ”
Tang Tiezhu was afraid that his daughter would poke his old bottom, and finally returned to his waist at Yue's house, afraid that he would be punctured by his daughter's needle, and he really regretted blowing such a big cowhide just now, it didn't end well, so he laughed dryly.
During the meal, there was a table for men and a table for women, men talked about men's topics, and women talked about women's daily routines.
Li Niang patted her thigh and said: "This Zhang family is a person who has been cut by a thousand knives, how can he do something out of tune, how can there be a mother-in-law who beats her daughter-in-law, isn't this a joke?" ”
The Qin family also disagreed: "Raising children to prevent old age, if she is so tormented, who can still serve her in front of her hospital bed in her old age,"
Li said lightly: "Anyway, it's not her own son who is in charge, there is really that day, she doesn't dare to let the head of the house serve her, she is a thief with a weak heart, but I'm afraid that when the time comes, how much will we be able to hide?" ”
"Alas, everyone has their own life, everyone has their own blessings, it's not that they don't report it, the time has not come, don't talk about her for the New Year, let's talk about some happy things." When the Qin family mentioned the Zhang family, they also looked helpless, "Qing'er, you are thirteen years old and have become a big girl,"
Tang Qing'er got goosebumps from what her aunt said, remembering what her mother said a few years ago, her scalp was numb and said, "Yes," it must have been her mother who told her aunt that she was looking for a future husband, and it was a matter of time before she got married, but she was still a little uncomfortable when she was told as right and wrong.
