Chapter 69: The Dowry

The gold blacksmith sighed, and then smiled: "It's not that you can't afford this gift, why don't you go, the big cow is also considered to be big, and now he is a big deal to ask for a daughter-in-law." ”

The blacksmith lady looked at Su Xiujin's back from a distance, and was about to go uphill to cross the field steps, Jin Da Niu reached out to pull her, Su Xiujin hesitated slightly for a moment, and only pulled his sleeve.

"Look, it's not a thing in the pool, where will you be at ease to accompany the big cow to live a hard life in this ravine?" The blacksmith lady said.

Su Niangzi lives in the west of the village, is a well-known widow in Jinjia Village, she has not passed the door when her husband's family died, but after the hiring, she resolutely held the rank into the door, she has served her in-laws for decades, although there are no children, but has always been decent, the village is ready to give the newspaper to erect a chaste archway.

Different from the coldness of the blacksmith lady, Su Niangzi heard that Jin Da Niu was ready to get married, and immediately said that she must go to drink a glass of wedding wine on the day of marriage, Su Xiujin hurriedly thanked Su Niangzi, and held a handful of four-color joy candy to Su Niangzi, Su Niangzi hurriedly wiped her hands and put her apron, Su Xiujin put the candy in the apron, and Su Niangzi said in her mouth: "Da Niu is really blessed." His eyes were still looking at Su Xiujin's cloth bag, Su Xiujin hurriedly grabbed two more handfuls of candy and said, "Auntie said she laughed." ”

Su Niangzi patted Su Xiujin's hand with a smile: "I will often come to play in the future, and after his mother leaves, this baby will also be separated from me." ”

Su Xiujin nodded: "I must come and go more in the future." ”

When Su Xiujin got up to leave, Su Niangzi was sent outside the courtyard gate, Su Xiujin deliberately glanced inside the house, only to see an old man with silver hair leaning against the door and looking out: "Su Su, who is that?" ”

Su Niangzi hurriedly grabbed a handful of joy candy and said loudly: "Mother-in-law, it's the child of Da Niu, he is going to get married!" ”

The old man grabbed the candy and asked loudly, "Who is going to get married?" ”

"Big bull! The big cow in the east of the village! Su Niangzi leaned close to her ear and said loudly.

"Huh?" The old man turned his ear behind his ears and asked again: "What's wrong with the big cow?" ”

Su Xiujin was slightly stunned. Jin Daniu said: "Aunt Su sent Grandpa Zhou away the year before last, and this year Aunt Zhou got this disease, and she was forgetful behind her ears. ”

Su Xiujin looked at the four walls of Su Niangzi's house, there were almost no large furnishings in the house, and people also looked at the fourth aunt who didn't know how old they were, only the poor and afraid people coveted that extra handful of candy.

"What does she do for a living?" Su Xiujin asked.

Jin Daniu thought for a while and said: "Originally, I braided bamboo dustpans and baskets and sold them in the market, but later people slowly went to the grocery store in the town to buy them. ”

Su Xiujin's heart moved, picking daylily has always been the fourth aunt's busy work, she had the intention of hiring a few people in the village, or finding a way to grow daylily to rent out the field, and she was responsible for buying it, and then selling it to a pharmacy in a nearby town, so that she only had to make a difference, and the fourth aunt could be idle.

Every household in the village has turned around, Su Xiujin is accompanied by a smiling face, polite and moderate, and calls uncles and aunts when he meets people, but it has left a good impression on many suspicious villagers, and a few little daughters-in-law who are newly married to Jinjia Village look at Su Xiujin is a good person to get along with, and ask Su Xiujin to go back and walk more doors, Jinjia Village is famous and simple, which gets along with people, and there are not as many curves as the harem and backhouse.

The last family left the village chief's house, and the village chief's daughter-in-law was the woman who made it difficult for Su Xiujin's mother and daughter that day. ”

Jin Daren's face was also a little gloomy, and Su Xiujin smiled: "Uncle Auntie, don't be angry, the first thing to leave is your house, but I discussed it with Brother Jin, and the most important thing has to be left to the end. ”

When Jin Daren heard this, his face looked better.

The village chief's daughter-in-law snorted, but she didn't mean to invite someone to sit down and drink tea, Su Xiujin Jin Da Niu was naturally not good, Rao is Jin Daren said to sit more, and the two of them didn't stay much.

After a round and turn, night had fallen. Su Xiujin has some slight blindness, and she can't see clearly at night, so the fourth aunt doesn't demand her female popularity, for fear that doing needlework will cost her eyes.

When Su Xiujin stepped on Jin Da Niu's shoes for the second time, Jin Da Niu understood a little and asked, "Miss Su, can't you see clearly?" ”

Su Xiujin nodded, thinking about nodding again This night, Jin Da Niu couldn't see clearly, so he said, "It's a little unclear."

Jin Da Niu turned around, a pair of eyes looked at her, Su Xiujin looked at his eyes along the faint lamp, her heart throbbed slightly, she had seen a big scalper in the field, because she had never seen a scalper before, she was interested, and she was not afraid of the huge body of the scalper, once came close to see, the scalper has a pair of eyes between meekness and compassion, it was called by the farmer, the whip hit the back one by one, but still worked hard in the field, you come up and look, it is only docile, calm look at you.

Jin Da Niu's eyes are like old scalpers, he is docile on weekdays, even when she is angry, she has never seen hatred and resentment in his eyes.

"Don't you just ask me what the hell I'm trying to do?" Su Xiujin's ghost made the gods send the way.

Jin Da Niu was stunned for a moment, and a trace of pampering and helplessness flashed on his face: "Even if you know, what?" You just have to be yours, and I can accompany you. ”

Su Xiujin said again: "If you know that your stepmother can't treat us well, I will never treat her well." ”

Jin Daniu was silent for a long time before he said: "I know, it's just that she can be said to be my aunt in name, and I will try to divide it as soon as possible, so that you will not be wronged, and it will not make it difficult for you." ”

At night, Jinjia Village was lying quietly in the ravine, Su Xiujin and Jin Da Niu stood on the middle of the slope, and occasionally a breeze blew up, blowing Su Xiujin's long hair, which fell on Jin Da Niu's face and neck, crispy and numb.

Summer is coming, the top of the mountain is full of all kinds of wild flowers, especially at night, the dark fragrance floats, making people smell refreshed, Su Xiujin turned around to look at this village of less than three hundred households, the lights are lit up in various places, just like the Milky Way in the sky, dazzling. There were several waves of women shaking their fans gathered at the head of the village, chatting about the events of the day, or whose baby wetted the bed today, whose child made an appointment with whose girl to go up the mountain, and when it came to excitement, they laughed from time to time. The children who lay in the arms of their mothers or grandmothers made a whole night of trouble and finally fell asleep, and the adults confessed and went back to sleep with the dolls.
