I don't know how my parents inquired later, but for several days later, both of them had dark faces, and even killing pigs at home didn't make them happier.

Fortunately, Wang Aiguo finally didn't have to turn over the New Year to be an apprentice.

Later, I heard that the eldest niece of the sister-in-law of the third aunt's family was very unhappy when she left, and she had a big quarrel with several people. Because Lin Guizhi asked her in front of a bunch of people whether Sun Dayong accepted apprentices according to the rules of the old society, and after she said yes, she hyped up how the old society accepted apprentices, and how to use apprentices as contract workers, and said that now others only give apprentices a year and a half after they leave the school, and the meaning is over, Sun Dayong does this purely to find a long-term worker who does not need money, not to count, but also to take the opportunity to collect money. As soon as this remark came out, the people who originally meant it all took back the conversation.

It is said that some people saw that someone had a fight with her in order to get back the old mother** egg that was originally given to her.

But for Wang Li, these are just those who have heard about it. She is busy today, tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, although the twenty-third of the house has been cleaned, but the food that should be prepared for the New Year should also be prepared, even if this family is poor, in the end it is not enough to eat, some things such as lotus root balls glutinous rice balls or something can still be fried with cottonseed oil to eat, although cottonseed oil is not delicious.

As for Wang Laozhuan and Lin Guizhi, the old couple planned to take advantage of today's 29th to go to Pan Yan to repay the money.

After a year of busy work, the pigs have been killed and sold, and the money has arrived, so shouldn't it be time to pay it back?

Early in the morning, before the chickens went out, Lin Guizhi touched two big old hens from the chicken nest, rubbed the straw rope and tied the wings and claws, put them in a snakeskin bag, and then tied a piece of five or six catties of pork belly specially left by the pig killed two days ago with straw paper, put it under the back basket, and picked up twenty eggs and wrapped them in paper and put them on top of the meat.

Lin Guizhi trembled in distress, but he was still ruthless, and wrapped another pound of brown sugar and put it in the back basket.

How to say, her cousin's family also lent 800 yuan to her family for nearly ten years, and still has 160 yuan left behind, this favor is not old or young.

When her father-in-law fell and was sent to the county hospital, the medicine money, the surgery money, the hospitalization money is waiting to be paid, and her family is only a few dollars, and their relatives on both sides of the family have experienced three years of natural disasters, which family still has money on the surface? That's it, the family is willing to take a risk and take the money out to help.

Later, my father-in-law did not come back after being rescued for more than half a month, and my mother-in-law did not follow the funeral every few months, and it was still the money borrowed by his cousin's family.

After breakfast, Wang Laozhuan picked up the basket, and Lin Guizhi took the snakeskin bag and set off for Pan Yuan.

Wang Laozhuan walked in front with a basket on his back, and Lin Guizhi followed behind with a snakeskin bag. In the middle of the morning, the big guys are either busy preparing New Year's dishes, or busy rushing to the market, or the cat does not go out at home, and there are few people on the road. The old couple talked as they walked.

"You say, Ali has become less like her in the last month?" Lin Guizhi now has a headache when she thinks of her second daughter: "In the past, I told her to do whatever she wanted, where there was such a set of words waiting, saying one sentence at a time, and always dealing with Ami, looking at Ami at nothing." ”

"Well, Ali is a little wrong this month, but I don't think it's anything, the child has grown up, do you know that for the sake of the future, and also, don't you always say that Ali doesn't like Ami, Ali didn't pay attention to it before, when it comes to being true, Ami really doesn't do anything, how can she marry in the future." Wang Laozhuan thought of Ami's temperament, and had a headache: "This is married, there are in-laws watching on the head, and you don't do anything all day long, don't get used to Ami, let her do what you should do, don't always let a few small ones do it, you are always like this, a few small ones have complaints in their hearts, how will they deal with each other in the future." ”

Lin Guizhi said curtly: "Isn't this all used to it, speaking of which, it's not Ali's dead girl, if she doesn't shout, which one will have an opinion." ”

Wang Laozhuan snorted when he heard this: "Yes, no one shouts that they have opinions, and those opinions are all in their stomachs, you always favor Ami like this, how can the little ones have opinions." This is not allowed in the future. ”

Lin Guizhi said unhappily: "Got it." ”

After walking for a while, Lin Guizhi said again: "You usually ask about any good guys around here, Ami will be eighteen next year, it's time to meet each other, and you can do a happy event when you turn over the year after you turn over and turn over eighteen." ”

Wang Laozhuan was a little reluctant: "Hey, this kid is eighteen years old in the New Year, the days go by so fast, such a small doll, it has grown so big in a blink of an eye, I am really reluctant." It is better for children to marry near home. In a few houses near our house, I really haven't heard of a good guy who is the age of Ami, or we should ask her cousin if there are any good candidates in the vicinity of Pan Yan? ”

Lin Guizhi nodded: "It's okay, with her cousin here, Ami won't be able to suffer in the future." ”

The two of them talked about walking, and soon arrived at Pan Yan.

Before they entered Pan Yan, the two of them saw a man sitting on a chair with wheels and walking into Pan Yan.

The man pushed the wheel with his hand, and the chair ran forward by itself, and when he saw that there was a pit, the man swung on the armrests on both sides, and the chair turned around the pit by itself, which was very strange.

The old couple was still looking at the strangeness of the wheelchair, and they heard the man greet them with a smile: "Yo, Uncle Wang, Aunt Wang, come and see Uncle Youcai!" ”

The old couple was stunned, who is this, we know each other?

Wang Laozhuan hurriedly smiled and said, "Yes, eldest nephew, let's come to see you as an uncle of wealth, are you?" ”

The man hurriedly said, "Uncle Youcai is my cousin in the next room, you can just call me to the east." ”

This person is none other than Pan Xiangdong.

It has been less than 20 days since Zhong Zijing returned, and he has already written two letters to ask him about the news of his little daughter-in-law, but he was embarrassed to death.

It is not easy to inquire about the news of a young girl who has not reached the age of marriage, not to mention that the two families are separated by seven or eight miles, which is even more difficult, especially if he has an uncle who has a son with a broken leg to inquire secretly, it is really embarrassing, even if he was a scout before, it is difficult to be good.

Until now, he has also heard that the little girl's name is Wang Li, and the five sisters in the family are the third male and she is the second. Her family is also unlucky, it is said that before the liberation, she was born as a big landlord, but her grandfather gambled and lost the family's belongings, and after the liberation, she was classified as a middle peasant, and the composition was not good. Her grandmother's family, that is, Pan Youcai's family, was also a small landowner before liberation, but his family was smart and donated most of his family property to support the revolution.

However, the Wang family and the Pan family have the same thing, they are both four generations of single transmission, no wonder the two families are still close.

Fortunately, he was bored at home today, and the mother-in-law and children at home were busy preparing the New Year's dishes, so he simply went out to shop alone, and met the little girl's parents at the intersection! Hey, isn't this a chance from heaven? Don't ask about it.

While pushing the wheelchair inside, he smiled and talked to the little girl's parents: "Some time ago, I heard that a rich uncle's cousin and niece came to visit them, that is your second elder's daughter, your second elder is really good at educating children, but the little cousin has praised everyone who has seen it, why didn't you come here today." ”

Wang Lao Shuan smiled and said: "Where is the child, the child is not sensible, where can he be praised, don't you want to celebrate the New Year, let her prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve meal at home." ”

Pan Xiangdong exclaimed exaggeratedly: "Oh, the little cousin is only fourteen or fifteen, she can prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve meal, your second elder really teaches well, the girls around here are the most capable little cousin!" My sister is eighteen years old and can't cook big dishes, but my parents are in a hurry. Hey, how did you teach the two elders, you have to pass on the experience. "I said to my sister in my heart that I was sorry for wronging you, but isn't this for the future daughter-in-law of our good brother.

Wang Lao said in his heart, where is there any experience, isn't it just that he has been doing it since he was a child, why can't your sister make big dishes at eighteen, it's really useless, I forgot that my eldest daughter can't get big dishes, and I have to be humble and say: "How can I have any experience, my second daughter likes to go around the pot since she was a child, and the dishes cooked out are better than others. ”

Pan Xiangdongxin said, none of your four daughters are married, not to mention the two little ones, why is your second daughter on the pot, isn't the eldest daughter still married? Isn't it that these two girls don't like you since they were young, and they have to do everything and practice this skill? But I had to inquire carefully, but I still had a smile on my face, and followed the old couple to Pan Youcai's house.
