Chapter 65: Marriage
Feng Lao Niang thought that she had the final say on the children's family affairs, so she didn't discuss it with Ping'an, and only told him that she would visit Liu's house the day after tomorrow to discuss the family affairs of Liu Meng and Xiangmei.
Ping An naturally cannot be shirked, he attaches great importance to this matter, and takes out the only few clothes that are still good materials to choose.
Ping'an's serious and serious appearance amused Xiangmei: "I look at my brother and I'm a little nervous, so it's not like you haven't been to the Liu family!" ”
Ping An said: "It's different, this time I'm going to talk about your family affairs." In the future, it will be the in-laws. You're just my brother, of course I have to take care of it for you. This fierce child is really powerful, and he is going to rob my sister. ”
Xiangmei blushed and smiled: "How can you say it's robbing." My brother can't speak too much. ”
Ping'an asked Xiangmei to help him choose clothes, he looked at his sister's smile on her face, thinking that she was also wholeheartedly willing to this marriage, and he was full of relief that he had found a suitable home for his sister.
Xiangmei stayed at home to watch the house, and originally wanted to go next door to talk to Yunzhu, but later suddenly realized that her sister Song was busy setting up a stall on the street, where could she take care of her.
The Feng family is a woman, and it hasn't been decided yet. So when I visited Liu's house, I didn't prepare any special gifts, but I spent a few dollars and went to the street to buy four-color meat and vegetarian snacks.
The Liu family was full of resentment, and when they heard that the Feng family's mother and son were coming, Liu Meng went out first.
"Uncle Niang and Brother Ping'an are here, please come in quickly. Daddy and Mom have been waiting for a long time. ”
Mrs. Feng was beaming with joy when she saw this young man who was about to become her son-in-law. How do you look at it, how you like it, and praise it repeatedly: "It seems to have grown a lot taller, I heard Ping An say that you have also done a few businesses." It's getting more and more capable. ”
Liu Meng was praised by his mother-in-law, and immediately felt a little fluttery, more useful than anything else, and couldn't hide his smile: "What about Meizi, why don't you see her?" After asking this sentence, Liu Meng realized that he had said the wrong thing, on a day like today, where could Xiangmei come together. Hence the blush.
Mrs. Feng smiled: "She helped me look at the house." ”
Liu Meng hurriedly invited them into the hall.
Liu Mason and Liu Wang were sitting upright at the moment. Liu Wang is only in his thirties, and he wears a jujube-colored Gebu slash skirt. At the placket, the cuffs are embroidered with small flowers that are densely turned. The red flowers and green leaves are not lively. Combing the loose sideburns common to country women, and inserting two silver hairpins.
Liu stonemason is wearing a pine-colored kudzu cloth robe that is often worn. Sitting there with a leisurely demeanor. On the small table in front of him was a set of coarse porcelain tea sets. He was filling the bowl in front of him. The mother and son of the Feng family came in.
Liu Stonemason got up first and said with a smile: "The sister-in-law of the Feng family is here, yo." Peace is so high. It's like when his grandfather was younger. ”
Liu Wang's family originally sat still and did not move, but it was Liu Mason's who gave her a look, and Liu Wang's family got up to greet the guests.
"Morning, please take a seat!" Liu Wang himself could feel that her expression must be a little strange at this moment, even her smile was strange.
Everyone divided the host and guest and sat down, and put two plates of dim sum brought by the Feng family on the small table. Qiaoyu brought out another plate of cherries that had just been picked recently. It's just been washed, and there's still water beads hanging on it. Like dazzling rubies.
"Eat cherries, they only bear fruit this year." Liu Wang generously invited. But in my heart, I was thinking about how to get to the point.
Mrs. Feng tasted two and said, "It's so sweet and tastes good." ”
Ping An sat beside his mother but did not move.
Liu Shimason said: "Three cherry trees have been planted behind the house, and they have all borne good fruit this year. The taste is good, too. It's enough to eat at home. ”
Mrs. Feng also said: "It is said that cherries are delicious and difficult to plant, and this taste is better than what is sold outside." If you are willing to sell it, you will definitely be able to sell it for a good price. ”
Liu Wang said: "Don't sell it, keep it for your own food." Yu'er likes to eat, where to sell it. There is no shortage of these funds at home. ”
"That's just as well." Feng Lao Niang's face was a little embarrassed, and she glanced at her son, hoping that Ping An could say something and break the atmosphere in front of her.
But Ping'an is a wooden character, and he doesn't talk much outside, and he doesn't notice his mother's eyes at all at the moment. I was sitting there in a daze, not knowing what to think.
The brothers and sisters of the Liu family are busy working under the stove, and they can't take care of the things in the hall. Qiaoyu also wanted to show off the cooking skills she learned from Yunzhu, but Liu Meng's whole mind was not here, and he was a little absent-minded no matter what he did.
Qiaoyu knew that her brother was in a hurry, so she comforted him: "Brother, don't worry, isn't this talking." Maybe we'll be able to settle the day in a while. I think the plums will be able to pass through the door this year. ”
Liu Meng said a little discouraged: "Don't you know that your father and mother are a little dissatisfied with this family business?" ”
"Dissatisfied? No, I don't. If you are dissatisfied, let the matchmaker go to Feng's house to propose marriage? It's my brother who has too much heart. ”
"Where is my heart. My mother told me that the Feng family planned to let Ping'an become a relative first and then marry Meizi. My mother was angry about this, and she said that she wouldn't marry this family. ”
Qiaoyu didn't know at all, her eyes widened at the moment, and her face was incredible. She never expected that the Feng family would make such a request.
The atmosphere in the hall began to become a little dignified, Liu Stonemason was a relatively straightforward person, and he was not likely to beat around the bush, and he no longer talked to the Feng family in a roundabout manner, and said straightforwardly: "The Lin family told us what you meant. We've thought about it carefully. If you insist on making this request, then ......" At this moment, Liu Shimason glanced at Liu Wang and said: "If you insist on this, you have to gather and disperse." ”
Mrs. Feng didn't believe it, when Mrs. Lin replied to her words, she didn't mention that the Liu family was unwilling, why did she change her hexagram again? She looked a little angry and hurriedly asked, "You said it well at first, why did you change your mind again?" ”
Liu Wang said coldly: "What do you say? Our family didn't agree to your request a long time ago. Your safety has been delayed, so why don't you let us delay it? This request is simply ridiculous! ”
Listening to their remarks, Ping An was a little confused, what do you ask? He didn't know anything, so he asked his mother, "Mother, what's going on?" What are the requirements? Why don't you consult with me? ”
Mrs. Feng was in a very bad mood, and it seemed that she couldn't make it, so she said to Ping'an: "This is what Meizi means, I think she is sensible, so she built it." ”
Ping An was a little anxious, but his mother still didn't explain what it was.
Liu Wang sneered at Ping'an: "Yo, Ping'an is still in the dark." You don't know how much your mother and sister love you. and our Liu family demanded, saying that Meizi would not marry until you got married! ”
"What? Is there such a thing? Ping An looked at his mother in disbelief.
Mrs. Feng nodded. (To be continued......)
