Since then, as long as Zhang Zhiwu is in Tianjiazhuang, Tian Youqiu and Wen Xiaoxu, they will go to him to study for a while after dinner, and then come back to exercise.
Zhang Zhiwu and Jin Fengyang also improved at Tian Dalin's house every once in a while. However, money and food stamps had to be given. Tian Dalin didn't accept it, and the two of them said that this was a system, and if they didn't give it, they would make a mistake. What's more, it's only symbolic, and what is eaten far exceeds this value. "If you don't take it, we won't come."
In order to make them eat with peace of mind, Tian Dalin no longer insisted on his own opinions. Only when Tian Qingqing declared "treat" did the two no longer give it.
Since then, Tian Qingqing's food stamps have been rich and surplus: not only Zhang and Jin gave them, but Zhang Zhiwu heard that Tian Qingqing wanted to exchange raw grain for food stamps but could not issue a certification letter, so he opened a few from the brigade headquarters and stamped them with the official seal.
Hao Lanxin is very satisfied with this result. This is really a gift of roses, a lingering fragrance in the hands, a few full meals for the working group, and these conveniences.
Especially her son Tian Youqiu and her youngest son-in-law Wen Xiaoxu (at this time, she had already defaulted to "baby kiss".) ), learning martial arts from the working group made her even happier. Although she doesn't know what martial arts are and what they are used for, she must be no worse off what she learned from the working group!
"As long as it is good for the children, we will go all out to fight for it, aren't we living for the children!" Hao Lanxin said.
Just as Tian Qingqing was immersed in the joy that the relationship with the working group was getting better and better, and Wen Xiaoxu and Tian Youqiu's martial arts were also growing, there was a surprise, suspicion and worrying incident in the old courtyard:
Tian Damu is getting engaged!
Informing the three sons and the daughter-in-law of the third room and discussing the matter was carried out in Tian Dalin's hall. One is that it is spacious and open to sitting. It is conducive to business discussion; The second is to avoid Tian Damu, if people have a different opinion or something, so as not to embarrass him.
Tian Jinhe did not participate. He is neutral on the matter, and he can do it. No, you can't.
Because it was in his own home, Tian Qingqing acted as a trotting hall for making tea and pouring water. However, also give her a chance to pick up her ears.
According to Tian Lu, the woman is a girl in the mountains of southern S Province, and she is 19 years old this year. The family is poor. His sister married five years ago to Dujiazhuang, a neighboring village of Xuejiazhuang (Tian Dongyun's mother-in-law's village), and has already given birth to a son and a daughter. The girl saw that her sister was richer than their hometown, and she was willing to marry her sister as a companion.
Dujiazhuang is more than a mile away from Xuejiazhuang, and the people in the two villages are very familiar. Tian Dongyun also knew the girl's sister. After hearing about it, he asked someone to say yes to his younger brother Tian Damu. As soon as the girl heard that she was very willing, Tian Dongyun called Tian Damu over. Let the two meet.
Tian Damu saw that the girl looked okay, so he agreed.
The woman said that as long as she gave the woman's parents 600 yuan, she could get married.
Everyone heard that this was a business marriage - spending 600 yuan to buy Tian Damu a girl in a distant mountain area as a daughter-in-law. And it was the one who made this happen. It is Tian Damu's sister-in-law Tian Dongyun.
Buying a daughter-in-law was very common in private at that time: men with poor family conditions, disabilities, and older people would spend money to buy a girl from other places, and get married in a flash - after paying the money, they could bring the family to the church and get married. Due to the distance, except for a very few who went to relatives and were introduced, most of them were brought by matchmakers first, and then found a man's family.
This in turn has given rise to many traffickers who abduct and sell women. There are also many people who have been deceived.
After listening to Tian Lu's introduction, look at me. I look at you, and there is no one to say for a long time.
"This matter is very urgent, and I don't know if I want to do it in the past two days, so I didn't tell you." Tian Lushi defended: "I didn't think that as soon as we met, I would be urged over there. As long as we don't have an opinion here. The woman's family came to the house to look after the house, and after falling in love, she paid the money, and she could go to the church and get married.
"Let's discuss today, is this family business okay? If it works. What day will the family come? How do we prepare here? Who are you calling to participate? It's not a trivial matter, everyone has their opinions. ”
"What's going on at the woman's house?" Tatsuki Ota asked.
Tian Lushi: "I heard that there are elder brothers and younger brothers. Because of poverty, my brother is almost thirty years old, and he has not yet found a daughter-in-law. Said that he was counting on this money to give a bride price! ”
"Don't be fooled anymore. It's so far away, I can't ask! Tian Dasen also said.
Tian Lushi: "The girl's sister has been here for five or six years, and she has two children. If she lied to us, don't you want to think that she can survive here? It's impossible to destroy your home for a few hundred dollars! ”
"Whether it's my sister-in-law, we don't know, don't we just listen to their words?! After that, I retreated to 625, I didn't know anything, and we didn't have anywhere to go to lawsuit? Wang Hongmei pouted and said.
"Aren't you talking to Li Zhuang, how can you be so interested in looking for other places? This is not an insurance policy. He Yuwen also said.
Tian Lushi sighed and said, "Ahem, there are several local ones, so I don't want to talk about it." Li Zhuang has been talking for a long time, and the woman doesn't say she is willing or unwilling, and she is endless. Go and get things one at a time, and it doesn't cost less. I haven't seen it at all. ”
It turned out that after Tian Damu sold popsicles, the matchmaker saw that he had an income every day, and he no longer went to play mahjong, so he came to him and told him about his daughter-in-law. How could he have been obsessed with mahjong since he was fourteen or five years old, and he has become famous, and he will blow it as soon as he inquires.
Some met under the matchmaker's matchmaking, and because Tian Damu was full of foul language, he couldn't please the girl. After dating for a while, I also said goodbye, which made Tian Damu disheartened.
Li Zhuang, a girl, had an intention, but her mother thought that Tian Damu was pampered and didn't know how to live. In case the old disease recurs after marriage, the daughter will be guilty. Just don't spit out.
At this moment, Tian Dongyun introduced him to this girl from afar. And said that as long as you pay the money, you can get married. Tian Damu, who was in a hurry by the person being talked about, also wanted to solve it quickly, so he listened to his sister's words and agreed to this family business.
Tian Lushi saw that his son and daughter-in-law were suspicious, so he said: "Considering that it is not said by outsiders, and the girl's sister is here first, it is better than just one person." Isn't this for you to discuss and see if it can be done? ”
"This kind of thing is like buying an old cow across the mountain, touching the strength." Tian Dashu pouted his teeth and said, "Take our village as an example, there are many daughters-in-law from other places. There are those who live a down-to-earth life here, those who have run away, and those who have been deceived. It's really not something that can be explained in one sentence. It's better to let them deal with it for a while, understand it, see if their tempers are compatible, and then decide. ”
Tian Lushi became anxious when he heard this: "Several people from the mother's family are waiting for this here, where can they still understand?" They mean to come to the house tomorrow. ”
"So urgent?" Tian Dasen said in surprise: "Didn't you say that her sister is from Dujiazhuang?" If she was sincere, she could stay at her sister's house for a while. The matter of a lifetime will be decided in three or two days, so you are in a hurry, right? ”
He Yuwen also frowned and said, "The fourth brother is only twenty years old, why are you in such a hurry to find someone from another place?" Li Zhuang's girls didn't mean to, let them go everywhere, and then talk about it. This is urgent, in case it is a liar again. Then he said to Tian Dalin beside him: "What do you say, third brother." ”
Tian Dalin and Hao Lanxin have been listening quietly, and they haven't said a word, this is also a habit that has been cultivated by following the old man for many years, without economic initiative and not being taken seriously, and everything at home is left to its own devices.
Hearing He Yuwen's question, Tian Dalin suddenly woke up: Now that he is living in a single family, he should also express his opinion on the affairs in the old courtyard.
Tian Dalin was not used to expressing his position in front of his parents, brother and sister-in-law, so he rubbed his head, twisted his brows, and said, "I think it's better to find a local place, what is the situation at home, and I inquired about it." ”
Hao Lan was happy to see that what her husband said was exactly what she wanted, so she nodded and said, "That's what I think." ”
Seeing that his three sons and daughters-in-law disagreed, Tian Lu's face immediately changed, and he said: "This marriage is not said by outsiders, Xiaosi also agrees, and I, as a mother, can't say anything else." I called you here, first, to speak to you, and to hear your opinions. The other is to discuss what to do.
"I'll tell you the truth, I only have more than 300 yuan in my hand right now. Selling popsicles is earned and spent as you go, and now there are more than 200 yuan left, and the team has divided more than 90 yuan in dividends. Six hundred yuan is just for other people's mothers, and it costs money to get things done. Each of you shall gather together a hundred and put this in the way. When things are over, it's not enough to say more. ”
said it explicitly: This is a discussion, purely asking for money!
In fact, everyone understands that this matter is the idea of Tian Lu and Tian Dongyun. It's already a sure thing. gathered everyone, one is to give a notice, and the other is to ask everyone to make money for him. - Six hundred dollars is not a small amount, and no one can take it out at once.
As soon as Wang Hongmei heard that she was asking for money, her nose was not her nose and her face was not her face and she said: "My family is less than your share, only more than 70 yuan." It's not enough to give it all. If the right way comes, I will be willing to borrow it from you. Something like this that has no foundation has been lost, and we can't live our lives. ”
Tian Lushi was anxious when he heard this, got up from the chair, pinched his waist and pointed to his three sons and said, "You have become a family and live your own small life, I don't care about your younger brother or not!" Ah, which of you is not a daughter-in-law who is not married with the money of an old man? Now that the old man is old and has no money in his hand, is it so difficult to ask you for some money? Whew! (To be continued) RP
