Chapter 7 Look at each other
Finally about to eat, the old house of the Cheng family held a table in the living room at the back, and a table was also opened at the gatehouse in the front yard for the female dependents to sit on.
The old house of the Cheng family is divided into the front room and the back room, a large courtyard in the middle, the front room has a gatehouse to simply entertain guests, next to the firewood room and kitchen, on the other side is the two bedrooms in the front yard, the middle of the back room is also the living room, there are incense cases, there are seats, there are dining tables, it is a place to receive guests seriously, there are two bedrooms on the left and right sides, the bedrooms are relatively large, one is more than twenty-five square meters, Chen Jia has been doing real estate sales for so long in his previous life, he is very sensitive to this, the bedroom has a bed in addition to the bed, The old man and the old lady's bedroom have two chairs, and a few can be used in the middle, such a large one can be used as two rooms, and it was originally planned to divide the two rooms in the front yard to Chen Jia's house, and the two rooms in the backyard to the second uncle's house, Cheng Mi can share with the second uncle's daughter, and it will be spacious when Cheng Mi gets married.
But the Cheng family also has a younger son who is about to get married, and the eldest grandson has reached the age where he can discuss marriage, and he can't live in it for two years, so after the separation, the eldest son said that he wanted to start a house, and the old man was also very supportive. What's the point of losing a little?
But even if they are separated, Cheng Zhen still lives in the old house when he comes back, and now the old house divides the front yard to the little uncle to live, the left side of the back living room is the bedroom of the old couple, next to it is Cheng Mi's bedroom, and the other side is given to Cheng Zhen, Cheng Zhen occupies a bedroom plus a study, Cheng Zhen lives in a spacious place, and even the little uncle is not allowed to live in the backyard, saying that he is afraid of making Cheng Zhen study.
"These days, the treatment of scholars is really good. But it's for boys, I want to be a top student, full of talent, but I can't play it well! What a grievance! Chen Jia thought to herself.
After the dishes are served, everyone can finally sit down, Chen Jia as a six-year-old child has no seat, but there is no seat and no seat has the advantage of not having a seat, that is, you can go to any table with a bowl to pick up vegetables, and go to the bedroom to eat on your stomach after the dishes, Chen Jia wanted to see the people who came to see the little aunt, so she went to the back living room to pick up vegetables.
Sure enough, I saw a strange young man in a room of people, about ten ** years old, barely one meter six tall, growing up with thick eyebrows and big eyes, very likable, and speaking neatly! Although he was a guest, he didn't treat himself as an outsider, helped greet the elders one by one, sat at the bottom, and helped divide the chopsticks and bowls, and always greeted each other with a smile, which made people feel really good!
Except for being a little shorter, well, it's a hard injury!
It seems that the eldest aunt has spent a lot of effort this time, I heard that this young man opened a grocery store in Tangjia Town, and the business is very prosperous, and the shop is also her own. He is the only boy in the family, and several sisters are married, and they have quite a lot of property. Seeing Chen Jia coming over to pick up the dishes, he quickly took the bowl, and lowered his head to ask Chen Jia what kind of dishes he liked to eat, always with a smile on his face, looking amiable! Chen Jia has a good impression of it!
Cheng Mi is only sixteen years old this year, and in this era, this age is the best age to get married. Here, a woman is an old girl before she is twenty years old, an age that no one wants!
In everyone's expectation, Cheng Mi, accompanied by the old lady of the Cheng family, gave the last dish on this table, pork balls.
Seeing the little aunt come out, this guy's face turned red! But the line of sight was reluctant to leave, and kept looking at Cheng Mi, until she left the table after serving the food and went to the front yard to eat, the young man came back to his senses, and the atmosphere behind it instantly became lively! Everyone tacitly agreed, but they just started toasting lively, and they all knew that this was the in-law's family was very satisfied! The young man's brother-in-law exchanged a few words with the young man, all of them were full of smiles, and it seemed that they had succeeded!
Of course, no one cares whether Cheng Mi is happy or not, because in this era, the girl's marriage is decided by her parents. As long as the parents agree!
Chen Jia took the bowl to the front yard, and found that Cheng Mi didn't sit down to eat, seeing that she went to the bedroom with the bowl, Chen Jia followed up and wanted to eat with Cheng Mi, Cheng Mi saw that it was Chen Jia, so he asked her to sit down and asked: "Nizi, I heard that your father didn't come because of his leg injury, but why didn't your eldest brother come today?" ”
Chen Jia thought to herself, you just knew? When you said those things last night, didn't you feel that there was a problem? Although Chen Jia could guess the reason why his father didn't come, he didn't dare to say it to Cheng Mi, so as not to be self-defeating!
"I don't know, I went to the bamboo forest with the second and third babies in the morning." Chen Jia replied.
I saw Cheng Mi frowning and thinking for a moment, as if he had figured it out, his face was happy! Happy to have lunch.
Chen Jia didn't say anything for a while, just buried her head in eating. After a while, he said tentatively: "The big brother who came to our house today seems to be very capable, and everyone praises him for being sensible and polite, and being considerate!"
"He's the guest, right? What a guest! It's just a gentleman, where is Brother Jiang tall and handsome! ”
Chen Jia felt that he was doing a disservice, it seemed that Cheng Mi had already been a lover's in the eyes, and he was preconceived, and now no one is too lazy to take a look!
After eating, I watched Chen and his younger brother talking to the second aunt, and the female family sat at the table with Mrs. Cheng, the second aunt and the three sisters of the man's family, and the three sisters kept smiling and saying that their younger brother was so good, how the conditions at home were good, and they didn't need to farm when they went, they all hired people to plant! There is no shortage of money in the house! The girl marries and waits for the blessings! Qin was also very satisfied when he heard it, and his face was full of smiles!
There are also a few girls at this table, it should be the children of the man's sister, there are two girls about nine years old who look exactly the same, Chen Jia knows that this should be the twins of the second aunt's family. After a closer look, I found that one of them looked quiet and dignified, while the other was lively and smart, which was still easy to distinguish.
Chen Jia wanted to see if Cheng Hu had come back, so he went to the backyard and called the second baby to go home with him, the second baby was particularly sticky to Chen Jia in the past two days, maybe Chen Jia suddenly died two days ago, which had a great impact on the second baby, and he didn't think this sister was rare! But once you really have to lose, you know that your sister still has a lot of weight in your heart! As soon as Chen Jia shouted, the second baby hurriedly came out and walked home with Chen Jia.
When I got home, I saw that Cheng Hu had really returned.
There is also a young man in the family, who looks really tall and handsome, with a height of one meter seven or eight, striking iron all year round, and his figure looks very burly.
"This is Cheng Mi's sweetheart!" Chen Jia thought to herself,
Jiang Blacksmith was talking to his father, and when he saw Chen Jia and Cheng Dong, it was as if he hadn't seen it, this feeling of being ignored was really depressing.
"I'd like to see what you say to my father!" Chen Jia not only didn't go out, but also went into the back room.
"Big brother, Cheng Mi and I may really have no fate, if Cheng Mi really likes this today, I will rest assured, I am going to go to work in the county with my uncle tomorrow, my uncle's family has taken over a project over there, it is said that a big family in Beijing wants to go back to their ancestral home to build an old house, ready to come back to support the elderly?"
"Don't call me big brother. Since you don't value this family business, why did you go to my sister's window and say those things in the first place! If it weren't for my leg injury, the most important thing I would do right now would be to beat you up! "Cheng Dazhuang is very angry!
"I really want to be good with Cheng Mi, but the situation in my family is so bad now, and I don't have elders to help make peace, you know. Forget it, I can't tell you. Tell Cheng Mi to let her live a good life, don't worry about me! The blacksmith's tone was still a little proud. Not to mention Cheng Dazhuang, Chen Jia and Cheng Dong were annoyed when they heard it!
"In that case, you should hurry away! Cheng Hu, send off! Cheng Dazhuang's tone was tough, to be honest, if it weren't for his legs, it is estimated that he would have really started a fight.
"What's this called? seduced other people's little girls, and thought that he was a fragrant glutton, and came to show off? Chen Jia was unhappy in her heart.
"Dad, the eldest brother who came to grandpa's house today is really good, sensible and polite, everyone praises him!" Chen Jia walked out, and Jiang Blacksmith seemed to want to stay and listen more, but unfortunately Cheng Hu came over and asked him out.
"I had dinner with my sister-in-law at noon, and my sister-in-law also said that it was very good, and I didn't need to farm when I got married, so I was waiting to enjoy the blessings!" Chen Jia shook out another sentence at the moment when Jiang Blacksmith just went out.
"That's good, that's good. I was also not at ease, so I came to ask, I knew that it shouldn't have been too much! Cheng Dazhuang also appropriately recovered some face.
Chen Jia saw that Blacksmith Jiang turned his head to look at his father, and a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes, like that kind of enemy of life and death!
"Hmph, it's really shameless, I didn't tell the truth when I came over, I just wanted to put gold on my face, and I obviously wanted to be with Cheng Mi, but I pretended that Cheng Mi unilaterally wanted to marry him. Deserve! Chen Jia was slandered in his heart.
Chen Jiayao looked at her father's legs, there should be no problem, the skin color of her feet is normal, and asked her father if it hurts, but Cheng's father said that it doesn't hurt but it's a little itchy. Chen Jia thought that itching should be right, so she asked Cheng's father not to scratch it.
In the afternoon, Chen Jia wanted to go out to play and familiarize herself with the environment by the way, but fortunately, Chen Jia was young and was just in time for the eventful autumn of the Cheng family when she crossed over, and no one noticed her changes.
Cheng Dong took Chen Jia to climb the mountain to play, next to the back mountain is a stream, next to the creek are bamboo forests, from below to see the mountain, one side of the mountain is lush, there are large coniferous forests, the other side is terraced, inside is the tea garden of the Cheng family, planted with rows of tea trees, the visual mountain is not very high, there are modern six-story buildings, and the mountain is gentle and not very steep, there is a mountain road next to the tea garden that is stepped out with his feet, Chen Jia picked up a long wooden stick on the road and began to climb the mountain, "Don't ask what you are doing with wooden sticks, I'm not afraid of snakes, It's better to open the road with a stick than to open the road yourself. Chen Jia began to play again.
It turned out that the sticks really didn't work! There are often people here who want to cut wood in the mountains, where is there so much danger on the road?
