Chapter 257: Hardship and Fatigue by Conscience
About an hour later, Sanshun drove back with a carriage, followed by another carriage, but the carriage behind it had a big coffin, and just looking at the style, you can see that the price is expensive.
At this time, the sky was already bright, and the people in the village knew that the old Tang Tou had passed away, so they came to worship him with paper money, and when they saw Xue Qianxun getting down from the carriage, they talked about it: "This is the son-in-law of Boss Tang, the young master of Xue Yuan's grandfather's family in the town, you look at this coffin, you don't know how much it cost, how can ordinary people use it!" Old Tang Tou is really a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes, and his children and grandchildren are filial. ”
Xue Qianxun turned a deaf ear to what they said, and after entering the courtyard, he found his father-in-law and said to him: "Dad, I have pulled the coffin back, do you want to find a few young and strong people to carry them into the courtyard, and then put grandpa into the coffin." ”
Tang Tiezhu nodded and said, "That's the reason." He added: "I have found good people, your uncles, plus a dozen strong men in the village, will definitely be able to carry this coffin into the courtyard." ”
"That's good." Xue Qianxun said lightly.
"This coffin cost a lot of money!" Tang Tiezhu asked cautiously.
Xue Qianxun said with a smile: "It didn't cost much, I opened this coffin shop, Dad, so it doesn't cost anything." ”
"What!" Tang Tiezhu's jaw fell in surprise, and he shook his head again: "I didn't know that you still opened a coffin shop?" If I had known, I would not have taken this upon you. He was afraid that Xun'er would think that he was taking advantage of him.
"Dad, I said it, we are a family, how can you always be polite to me." Xue Qianxun said with a smile, it is really laughable to meet a father-in-law who is affordable, if it is left on others, he would like to take more advantage from his son-in-law, but his father-in-law is really affordable, and he never wants to take any advantage on him, let alone get money.
Tang Tiezhu said with a straight face: "One thing is one thing, how much is this coffin, after that, I will ask your mother to give you the money." ”
"No, Dad." Xue Qianxun smiled bitterly.
"No," Tang Tiezhu refused categorically.
Xue Qianxun said: "Dad, this is my filial piety to my grandfather as my grandson-in-law, isn't this inappropriate?" If you pay me for the coffin, if you let the people of the village know, won't you and I be allowed to talk about it? ”
"This ...... This ......"
"Saying, this coffin really doesn't have much money," whispered to his father-in-law: "The trading of this coffin is very profitable, when a person is alive, you are reluctant to let him eat and drink well, but once he dies, no matter how much money you spend, you have to buy a good coffin for him to sleep in the ground, so let's say more money for this coffin, more money,"
Hearing this, Tang Tiezhu couldn't help but laugh and said, "You, dare to say this to me." ”
Xue Qianxun said: "You are my father-in-law, I will say this to you, can you still tell me?" ”
Tang Tiezhu suddenly felt that Tongxun'er's feelings had increased a lot, and said with a smile: "Then I won't be polite to you, this coffin is what you honored to grandpa." ”
"Yes." Xue Qianxun sighed, and finally calmed down his father-in-law.
Xue Qianxun couldn't help the coffin, so he watched more than 20 people carry the coffin into the main hall of the house, and then the four Tang Tiezhu brothers put the deceased old man in the coffin, and then, an endless stream of village people took paper money to worship him.
Xue Qianxun didn't see Qing'er after he came back, so he looked for her in the yard, and finally heard her voice, but he was helping his mother-in-law cook in the kitchen.
After Xue Qianxun entered, he saw that only his mother-in-law and Qing'er were busy in the kitchen, and his breath was a little uncomfortable, and his voice was a little cold: "Mother, you are going to be tired after this day, I think it is better to ask a chef to come over and make food!" "Whoever dies here, they have to invite the people of the village to eat, so Xue Qianxun said so.
Tang Qing'er heard his voice, curled the corners of her mouth and smiled at him and said, "You're back." ”
"Well, are you tired?" Xue Qianxun saw Qing'er's smiling face, and his face improved slightly.
"It's okay, no matter how tired you are, you don't have to be tired."
Li put down the work in his hand, straightened his waist and sighed: "I originally planned to do the same, but I was afraid of gossip from the villagers,"
Xue Qianxun said: "Mother, I'll do this!" "He was reluctant to let Qing'er do this work.
Tang Qing'er saw that his face was a little bad, and he didn't know who made him angry again, so he said to Li: "Mother, I want Xianggong to accompany me home to have a look, I'm a little worried about Xiao'er and them." ”
"Go ahead! Your second aunt will come over to help me in a moment. After Li finished speaking, he continued his work.
Tang Qing'er took Xue Qianxun's hand and walked out, and didn't meet anyone else on the way home, so she looked up and asked him: "When I was in the kitchen, how could I see that your face was a little bad, did you encounter anything unpleasant?" ”
"No, it's just that everyone in the yard is idle, only you and your mother are busy, and I'm just a little angry." In Xue Mansion, where was he willing to let Qing'er work so hard.
"Alas! This matter can only depend on everyone's heart, grandpa is gone, and some people don't want to pretend," Tang Qing'er thought that when she came out with Xue Qianxun just now, she saw the fourth aunt holding her stomach and talking to people in the courtyard, where did she have a little self-consciousness as a Tang family.
"After this matter passes, my father and mother will not associate with them, it is not worth it!" Xue Qianxun said lightly, this kind of relative is really not wanted.
"I'm afraid that you and I understand, my father can't figure it out, you also saw it, after my grandfather passed away, my father and mother were in Zhang Luo outside the house, and Zhang's, third uncle, and fourth uncle didn't move forward, so I was afraid that they would take the money,"
"We are so dedicated, we can be regarded as filial piety to grandpa," Xue Qianxun said.
"I think so too, people who have passed away can't get it back no matter how much money they spend, in the past, for some money, Zhang's family tore their faces, but now when they encounter serious things, they hide far away one by one, it's really better to say than to sing." The more Tang Qing'er spoke, the more angry she became, and her voice became louder and louder.
Xue Qianxun took her hand and said, "It's all my fault, mentioning this topic makes you angry too." ”
"No, it's because I've been holding back for too long, and I didn't dare to say it to my parents, as soon as you mention it, I can't help but complain to you." didn't dare to tell him about Tang Jing, if he knew about it, maybe he would find trouble with Tang Jing.
"By the way, my mother will come over today, but it will be after noon! She can only go out while her grandmother is sleeping. ”
Tang Qing'er said anxiously: "What do you want your mother to do?" It's not that my mother doesn't know about our family and the main house, so I don't need to come over. When she married him, she didn't call her grandfather and Zhang's family over, and her mother-in-law must have known the relationship between her family and the main house, but she never asked herself, and she didn't need to explain.
Xue Qianxun said: "Mother is not for you, I want the people in the village and the Tang family to know your status in the Xue family,"
"I don't care about that, as long as life goes well, you stay ...... Treat me well, I will be content, I don't care what others think or think. Tang Qing'er stared at him intently and said slowly.
"Rest assured, I never break my promises." Xue Qianxun held Qing'er's hand tightly and promised.
"I believe it." Qing'er also held his hand tightly in response.
When the two went home, they didn't find Man'er and Xiao'er when they went into the kitchen, and when they went to the kitchen, they saw them steaming egg custard, Qing'er walked in and said, "Have you not eaten since the morning?" ”
Feng Xiao lied: "After eating, I saw that the taro and tiger head were a little hungry, so I steamed egg custard with Man'er for them to eat, but the first time I did it, I didn't succeed." ”
Qing'er touched the little faces of the two and said, "I'll come, you go to the house to take care of those two little guys!" ”
Man'er whispered: "The two of them are having fun, we don't need to watch." ”
"But what if they accidentally fall to the ground while playing?" Qing'er pouted.
With this in mind, Man'er trotted back to the house, saying as she ran, "I have to watch them." ”
Qing'er said to Feng Xiao again: "You can also go into the house and rest!" I'll cook for you. In fact, she knew that Xiao'er and Man'er were hungry, but they didn't admit it, because they didn't want to cause her trouble at this time.
After Xue Qianxun watched the two villains leave, he said slowly: "Those who are not related by blood are actually deeper than those who are related by blood." ”
"Yes, as long as you are sincere to others, others will treat you sincerely, but there are some people you are very good to them, and you can't get them back."
Xue Qinxue knew that she was referring to the person in the main room, shook his head and said, "So it doesn't matter to the people, let's ignore it, let's cook for them quickly!" A few children are starving! ”
"Yes." Saying that, he started to wash rice, got out of the pot, and asked Xue Qianxun to help light the fire, this is the first time that the eldest young master of the Xue family has entered the kitchen to make a fire for people, don't look at it is the first time, the fire is still very good.
Two quarters of an hour later, Tang Qing'er went to the main hall with the food, called the two little babies out, and asked, "Where are the taro and the tiger's head?" ”
"They played for a while and fell asleep,"
"Then let's eat first! When they woke up, there were two bowls of egg custard in the kitchen, and Man'er remembered to feed them. As he spoke, he filled four bowls of rice and put them on the table.
Feng Xiao picked up the bowl and said, "Eldest sister, how do you know that we haven't eaten." ”
Tang Qing'er took a mouthful of green vegetables and put it in her mouth, and said casually: "I heard the cravings in your stomach scream." ”
"Huh." Feng Xiao scratched his head embarrassedly, and then stuffed rice into his mouth hard.
Man'er ate and ate vegetables one by one, and Qing'er sandwiched a piece of meat for her and said, "Eat more meat, see how thin you are,"
"Eldest sister, I don't like meat," he said, putting the meat in his brother's bowl.
Tang Qing'er glared at her, then took another piece of meat and said to her: "If you don't like to eat, you have to give it to me, eating meat is good for your body." After speaking, he gave Xue Qianxun another piece and ordered him to eat it with his eyes.
Xue Qianxun didn't dare to disobey, so he could only put the meat in his mouth and chew it slowly.
After everyone finished eating, Man'er cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, Tang Qing'er and Xue Qianxun drove to the main house, and when they arrived at the gate of the main house, Tang Qing'er saw her grandmother, grandfather, uncle and aunt all coming over, and pulled Xue Qianxun to greet them.
Seeing that Qing'er's face was fine, Mrs. Li said with a smile: "After you got married, Grandma has been worried about you, afraid that you will be wronged. This was deliberately said to Xue Qianxun.
Tang Qing'er blushed and said, "Grandma, my father-in-law and in-laws treat me very well. ”
The eldest aunt quipped: "Mother, your worries are superfluous, the feelings of this little couple are like honeypots, when they enter the hospital, I see that they are still holding hands?" ”
Tang Qing'er blushed and said, "Auntie, you are joking with me again." ”
"Okay, okay, now on this occasion, you still have the heart to joke, if you let others see it, you can't say that we are disrespectful to our father-in-law." Old man Li shook his head and said with a straight face.
Everyone quickly put away the smile on their faces, Tang Qing'er took her grandmother's hand and said, "Grandma, have you seen my mother?" ”
Mrs. Li shook her head and said, "No, we have been here for so long, and we haven't seen your father and mother." ”
Could it be that her mother is still busy in the kitchen? She hurriedly said to her grandmother: "You stay here, Xianggong, you talk to your uncles, and I will come when I go." ”
"Yes." Xue Qianxun nodded.
The old lady of the Li family shook her head with her two daughters-in-law and smiled: "This girl is married, and she is still so frizzy." ”
