Chapter 25: Moving Early
"It turns out that this family is the second aunt!" Yun Xiang said with a smile.
Xiao Wang was stunned for a moment, quickly glanced back at the location of the upper room, glared and said, "Don't talk nonsense!" ”
"How do I remember that the house is all about milk? Now that the milk is not in a hurry to drive us away, the second aunt is in a hurry. If this asks for money, could it be that my grandmother said it? Yun Xiang seemed to be smiling, "Tsk, this family didn't give us money, and let us go to live in the ancestral house where the walls had collapsed for many years, I don't know what the people in the village would say if they knew." ”
Yun Xiang's voice was not small, which alarmed Liu Wang, who was in the upper room, she opened the door and shouted, "Second daughter-in-law! You're okay with what nonsense! When did I say I wanted money! ”
Liu Wang then said to Yun Xiang, "You little girl is going to be strong!" Your father's door can't be filmed? It's just for your mother to cook a meal, and she won't be able to do it? Whose lady is she? The farmers still work in the fields until they are alive! ”
"Milk, we're separated." Yun Xiang said coldly, "You have so many daughters-in-law at home, why do you let a person who has a separate family go out to work!" ”
"Naturally, it's because your mother's craftsmanship is good!" Seeing that Zhou opened the door, Xiao Wang pursed his lips, "Hey, brother and sister, you are really a happy one, just get up!" Where is it like our toiling life! ”
Zhou smiled weakly, "Second sister-in-law, mother, are there any guests here today?" ”
"Hey, how do you come to be a parent, why don't you care about your nephew's affairs at all?" Xiao Wang rolled his eyes dissatisfied, "Today, Erlang and his uncles came over in advance, saying that the nephew's marriage is a big deal, and he will come over to help in a few days!" ”
"Then I'm ......"
"Mother!" Seeing that Zhou was about to nod, Yun Xiang took Zhou's hand first, and said in a low voice, "Mother, think about the past few days after my father's accident!" The rescued second uncle didn't admit it, and Brother Erlang cried and shouted that he was afraid that if something happened to his father, he wouldn't be able to get married, not only that, but they would definitely let us get out. Is such a person worth your effort? How much more do you have a body! ”
When Zhou heard this, his face was a little ugly. Obviously, he remembered everything he had experienced in the past few days, so he looked up and said, "Mother, second sister-in-law, the child's father is not doing well these days, and my body is a little uncomfortable." I really can't help anymore. I think it's better to find a cook to help you work for a day, it's much better than me. ”
"My brother Erlang is still three or four days away from getting married, and he has to set up wine anyway, so it's better to invite a chef to try the dishes in advance!" Yun Xiang suggested, "I heard that the Chen family is going to set up a flowing water banquet, eight dishes and eight bowls, which will cost a lot of money!" Fortunately, Brother Erlang said that the Chen family paid for it, otherwise, our family would ......."
When Liu Wang heard this, his brows furrowed imperceptibly. At the beginning, Erlang said that the dowry and banquet were all paid for by the Chen family. Later, he said that although people paid for it, the dowry had to be prepared and sent over by himself, and a decent dowry had to be prepared for the sake of decency. But later, the dowry money was not given to them at all. Now the money for this banquet has not even been mentioned. "Second daughter-in-law, you come in with me."
Xiao Wang was called away by Liu Wang, and Yun Lian and Zhou were a little stunned. Yun Lian was puzzled, "My grandmother didn't lose her temper and scold?" Just left so suddenly? ”
Zhou also nodded, "Really, I didn't expect it to be so easy to ......" and get rid of the work.
Yun Xiang smiled and didn't speak, she deliberately diverted Liu Wang's attention so that her mother could get out. But this is not a long-term solution. In ancient times, if the word 'loyalty' was used well, it could enslave a country, and if the word 'filial piety' was used well, it could control a family. No matter what the reason is, no matter how bad the parents are, if the children resist fiercely, they will be praised and degraded. What's more, the government can also convict a crime.
Struggle is an art, Yun Xiang can forcefully refuse any unreasonable demands, but she can't stop her father and mother from doing their filial piety. What's more, this couple is also very kind and honest people. If it takes a long time, it will inevitably be pinched by the old lady again. Just like today's matter, if the old lady firmly asked Zhou for help, it would be really difficult for Zhou to refuse in normal times. Fortunately, now that Zhou is pregnant, he has a better interface. Yun Xiang took the opportunity to divert the topic again, so as to avoid some trouble.
"Dad, mother!" Yun Xiang pondered for a moment, "I think we have to move out today." ”
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Zhou put down the bowl, "Didn't you say that it was only half cleaned up over there?" ”
Shiro was also puzzled, "The ancestral house hasn't even repaired the courtyard wall yet!" If it is anything else, it will be fine, but there is a mountain against Izumo, and the courtyard wall will not be able to be settled. ”
"You see if this will work!" Yun Xiang suggested, "When I'm done eating, I'll go to Uncle Cheng Li and ask him to find a few people to fill up the courtyard wall." A day can definitely be made up. My sister and I called Sister Mei and Sister Lan to clean up the two rooms in the East Chamber. Then the kitchen is regulated first. In this way, in the evening, we asked Uncle Chengli to pull the cart to transport my father and our things over. As for cleaning the grass in the west wing and the yard, including the furniture to be painted, we can do it slowly. What do you think? ”
Shiro was the most careful, "It's fast to hire someone to repair the wall, but it costs money." How do we explain where the money comes from? ”
"Let's just say it's the leftover from the last time I sold the silver ring." Zhou Shi thought about it and shook his head, "You have a lot of milk, I'm afraid it's hard to say." ”
"Let's just say that I borrowed it from Uncle Chengli!" Yun Xiang said, "Brother, you talk to Uncle Chengli in private, just say that it is me and my sister who secretly embroider the money that earns, and if you don't make a noise, let him be famous." "Generally, the little daughters of the families who are better off do some embroidery work and the money they earn are all collected by themselves. It doesn't need to be handed over to the public, it is regarded as a family. One is because the money is generally small, and the other is because the daughter is going to get married sooner or later, and she has some private money in her hand, which is also beneficial to her in-law's family.
"That's fine." Yun Lian nodded, "And it's all true." ”
Xiao Wu looked at his brother and sister with blank eyes, "Brother, sister, I can also work, take me there today!" ”
"No way!" Zhou's face was straight, "You are here to accompany your mother!" Since you can work, help your mother to clean up your things, so that we won't be in a hurry when the time comes. ”
Xiao Wu nodded in agreement, Liu Chengshuang looked at this simple upside-down seat, and the sad feeling in his heart was indescribable. "I've lived here for more than ten years, and I'm really reluctant!"
"Daddy!" Yun Xiang smiled and comforted, "When you arrive at your new home, you will definitely like it, it is our own home!" ”
