Chapter 139: Uncle
The next day, when the sky was dark, Yunxiang's family set off. Liu Chengshuang took Liu Yunyang and Liu Yunsheng in a carriage, while Zhou took Yunlian and Yunxiang to sit in the carriage behind. Shang Hao followed Liu Chengshuang to serve in the carriage, but the Zhou carload of people carried a 'month' each. Leave Shang Jia at home and look at Yun Xuan, who hasn't gotten up yet.
The next car was full of gifts, and the three cars were not slow, but they also walked for more than two hours before they reached the village where my uncle's house was located, Huaishu Village.
As the name suggests, there are a lot of locust trees in Huaishu Village, and Zhou's eldest brother is a hunter, but he does not live in the village, but lives on the hillside.
As soon as the three big carriages entered Huaishu Village, they caused a sensation. Huaishu Village is not as wealthy as the mountain village, and not a single carriage has been seen in the village. At this time, the villagers were all idle, and most of them were visiting relatives, so the arrival of the Yunxiang family was a sensation in an instant, and they all stretched out their heads to see which one they were going to.
But the carriage did not pause in the village for a moment, and went straight to the foot of the mountain. Everyone talked about it for a while. There is no one living at the foot of the mountain, only a few Orion families live on the slopes.
But she said that Zhou's sister-in-law's house was from the village, and on the second day of the new year today, she called her husband to take her son back to her parents' house early in the morning. Because her house is not on the main road, I don't know how sensational it is outside. But there was a mother-in-law who had such a good thing, and ran to the door of their house and shouted, "Big sister, quickly call your eldest daughter and son-in-law to come out and have a look!" Someone went up the hill. ”
Tian walked out and said unhappily, "There are several families living on the hillside!" It doesn't have to be my daughter's house. They don't have any married daughters. ”
The woman remembered the big carriages, and said regretfully, "That's a pity, it's three big carriages!" It must be a rich family! ”
When Zou heard this, he asked, "What kind of family?" ”
"I only see that the drivers are better dressed than us!" The mother-in-law 'tsk' twice, "I have to go to see the excitement, go first." ”
At this time, Zhou Zhi, the eldest son of the Zou family, ran over and shouted loudly. "Dad, mother! Go home! Someone came to our house and said it was my aunt and uncle! ”
Zhou Zhi is also eighteen years old this year, and he has been hunting in the mountains with his father. Today he was at his grandmother's house, but the eldest son next door told him to go out for a walk. I happened to see the carriage entering the village, so I followed to see the excitement, but who knew that the carriage went all the way to the door of his house.
"What? Who are you talking about? Zhou Hongben was helping his mother-in-law chop wood in the yard, and as soon as he heard Zhou Zhi's words, he threw the axe and ran home. Zou was stunned. said to his mother, "Could it be that Zhou Xiuying?" She's not ......."
"Don't talk nonsense! Let's check it out! Where's the wagon! Tian pulled his daughter and ran home, and Zou hurriedly called his daughter to follow.
While running, Zou also said, "Then the Liu family said that there is an oxcart, I believe it, but even then, the people in their third room are the most unpopular, can her mother-in-law allow her to use it?" ”
Tian frowned and said, "Whatever, don't you just go and see?" If it is really his family that has made a fortune. You can get the light too! After all, I have raised her for a few years! ”
"I haven't had a good face for her before!" Zou was a little nervous, "I don't know if it will target me." ”
When the three of them ran home out of breath, they saw a few people moving things to their house like flowing water, and Tian immediately couldn't walk, and he didn't enter the door and waited to count what was there.
Zou saw that his mother was not leaving, so he took the child into the door. Their house is not big, only a small fence yard, which is three earthen houses, two west rooms, and a stove room. In the middle of the living room. There were several gorgeously dressed people standing talking to Zhou Hong. She hurried into the house, "Who is this?" ”
Zhou's figure paused, and slowly turned around, "Sister-in-law." ”
"Xiuying! It's really you! Zou had mixed feelings that he couldn't say. She remembered that once when she followed Zhou Hong to see Zhou Xiuying, she was still wearing rag clothes, with only a wooden hairpin on her head, feeding pigs. Although the Liu family is wealthy, they don't like to see their family. How come it is only a few years before you wear gold and silver?
Zhou Hong is tall. The facial features are good-looking, but the skin is very dark. He said happily, "Child, look at it, Xiuying is back, go to Zhang Luo to order some delicious food, the children are tired all the way." ”
Zou was a little reluctant, and just as he was about to speak, Yun Lian said on the side, "Where can I bother my aunt, let the people cook." We brought a lot of stuff with us, so we didn't have to prepare any more. ”
Zhou Hong nodded, and then introduced, "This is your aunt, this is your cousin Zhou Zhi, and this is my youngest daughter who is fourteen this year, called Qin'er." ”
Several children greeted each other, Zhou Zhi was already two years old when Zhou got married, she took Zhou Zhi's hand and said, "Zhi'er, do you remember your aunt?" You're so big in a blink of an eye! But married? ”
Zhou Zhi blushed directly and smiled innocently, "Don't worry." ”
Zou answered on the side, "It's useless to be in a hurry, the family has this condition, and it is difficult to marry a relative." Her eyes rolled, and she said, "You who are an aunt also hurt your nephew, so you might as well give us your daughter." ”
"Shut up!" "Mother!" Zhou Hong and Zhou Zhi both looked at Zou with dissatisfaction, and Zou pouted, "This cousin and cousin are a natural pair, and besides, marrying into an uncle's family is better than marrying an outsider!" "She has taken a fancy to other people's wealth and wants to take advantage of it.
Yun Lian's face was already displeased, and Zhou was also a little annoyed, if she didn't want to come back, this eldest sister-in-law would ruin the good atmosphere as soon as she opened her mouth.
Zhou said lightly, "My two daughters must marry in front of my eyes, I have a small heart and I am reluctant to have children." But Zhi'er wants to marry, if the sister-in-law doesn't care, I, as an aunt, can also help manage it. ”
Zou's eyes lit up, "That's a good feeling!" The daughter of the rich man Li in our village has also reached her age, and you will allow me to give me a white tael of silver as a dowry, and I will go to find someone to propose marriage. ”
"Smack!" Zhou Hong slapped the table and pointed out the door, "Get out of here!" If you talk nonsense again, you will go back to your mother's house! ”
Zou is completely honest now, she muttered quietly, "You are also tough when the girl is developed!" ”
As soon as Zou walked out, Zhou Hong apologized with shame on his face, "This woman ...... Alas! Sister, I don't ask for anything else, if you can come back and see, I will be satisfied. Tell me how you've spent all these years. ”
Zhou started from Liu Chengshuang breaking his leg and being separated, and all the way to Liu Chengshuang becoming an official. Hearing this, Zhou Hong and Zhou Zhi were embarrassed.
At the end, Zhou Hong said, "It's not easy for you to come this way, but it's also a blessing to be able to live today's life, remember to cherish it." Then he said to Liu Chengshuang seriously, "You are now an official and rich, but if you are sorry for my sister, I will not let you go." (To be continued.) )
