Father Jiang said: "Is the brother-in-law capable?" Several of our sons are too honest, and the eldest is a fiery temper. Minghui has such an uncle, and he can help him in the future. ”
The boss of the Jiang family also said: "Dad is right. I think Guo has a good smile and is kind. ”
Aunt Jiang said: "I'm afraid that Minghui will suffer losses in the future." ”
Father Jiang said: "If you suffer, it depends on who you are." If you love your daughter like the Guo family, can you make your son-in-law suffer? You don't see how much they defend their girls. In the future, Minghui has three uncles to help him, and his life is not bad. I know why you're not happy, aren't you just dumb and haven't washed your face! The daughters of other families are not married yet, of course, the gold is expensive. It's just clean and elegant, and it's not a big deal. Who's not like this! If you want to marry a sloppy daughter-in-law, you will be happy in your heart? Besides, it's not that the daughter of the Guo family can't do it, didn't you say that she can cook and burn, and she can weave a good brocade! ”
Aunt Jiang was broken by him, and she had nothing to say back for a while.
Jiang Minghui didn't understand why his mother picked bones in the eggs, but after hearing this, he knew the clue, so he looked at his father gratefully.
Father Jiang turned to his two sons again to discuss the dowry on August 15.
※
Guo Qingmu is married again!
The news also spread quickly throughout Green Bay Village.
After withdrawing from relatives, it is natural to find relatives again, this is normal feeling, and there is nothing to talk about. But on the 15th day of August, the Jiang family came to the Guo family with a boat of dowry gifts and the handsome Jiang Minghui, and Green Bay Village was not peaceful.
Under the big festival, every family is busy at home.
Even if the family is poor, you have to think of a few bowls of vegetables.
Fishing in the water is the most convenient way to find food.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, many people deliberately passed by or found various excuses to go to Guo's house to see what was going on.
People who came back said that the new son-in-law of the Guo family was a talent; He also said that the Jiang family is very rich, not only has a lot of fields, has family handicrafts, and there are shops in the town.
During the conversation, Jiang Minghui could not help but compare with Zhang Futian.
People say that Zhang Futian is not as good as Jiang Minghui's good character.
"He looks white and clean, and he is delicate, just like a scholar."
"People are meant to be scholars. I almost got tested for Xiucai. ”
"No wonder, the one who speaks is sven."
"The Guo family is a blessing in disguise."
……
The Zhang family felt uncomfortable when they heard it.
Even if they hide from people, they will still hear talk.
Even if you don't want to hear it, the sound drills into your ears.
No matter who they saw, the smile and greeting meant so much to them.
In this case, the mood of Zhang Laohan and his son can be imagined.
Seeing Li Hongjube again, it was like a thorn, stabbing the eyes and heart.
The red dates are also obedient, cooking in the kitchen without making a sound; When it was cooked, he diligently brought the food to the hall, but he shrank down in the stove room to eat; After eating, Ma Yu cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and then fed the pigs, so busy all the time.
Even so, when I occasionally meet my in-laws, my face is gloomy and ugly.
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and according to the rules, she and Zhang Futian want to go back to their parents' house.
So, she took the opportunity to hide next door.
Her mother's family is not much better, her father lost a lot of money because of her escape from marriage, and he didn't have a nose or an eye for her, and he didn't have a good look for Zhang Futian.
Zhang Futian was impatient, sat for a while and turned around and went home.
The red dates stayed and talked to my mother.
Seeing that there was no one in front of her, the red lady said with tears and hatred: "Old man Guo is too ruthless!" His daughter doesn't worry about getting married, and he can pick a good son-in-law casually, so why not let you live. You must be forced to give up before you are willing to let go, it's too desperate to do things! ”
Can you just pick a good son-in-law?
Red dates felt extremely harsh when they heard this.
The red lady asked again: "Are your in-laws angry with you?" ”
Red Jujube Muran said: "It's not like that. ”
Although the words are vague, how could the red lady not think of that situation.
Yin said: "If it weren't for the Guo family making such a lively show, they wouldn't be able to spill their anger on you." Guo Shouye and Wu Pozi, the two old immortals, have calculated correctly: either you and Futian are separated, and they will take revenge; Even if you try your best to marry into the Zhang family, you will never have a peaceful life in your life. The more you are dumb, the more your in-laws and Futian are thorns, and you can't pull them out in your heart for the rest of your life. He is vicious, and he just wants you to have a bad time for the rest of your life! ”
Red dates sneered: "I've had a hard time in my life, and she shouldn't think about it!" ”
The red lady panicked: "Red dates, what are you going to do?" Don't be troublesome! You're like this, it's wrong to say a word more, and people will only say that you're not good. Let's swallow this breath! ”
The red jujube showed a stubborn expression on his face and did not speak again.
She sat for a while before getting up and going back to her mother-in-law's house.
The atmosphere in her mother-in-law's house was dull, and she didn't want to see her in-laws' faces, so she went back to the room and asked Zhang Futian to go to Luwan Dam to pick water chestnuts and lotus seeds. You can take the opportunity to hide out, and the little couple can play and play, and you can also get some water chestnuts and lotus seeds back, killing three birds with one stone.
Zhang Futian didn't want to stay at home, so he went to the boat with her.
The autumn weather is crisp, and under the Green Bay Dam, there are several small boats floating on the lake.
It has entered the late autumn, the lotus leaves have been half crippled, and the water chestnut leaves are also aging, therefore, people take advantage of today's festival leisure to harvest lotus seeds and water chestnuts, and then late, they all fall into the lake.
At that moment, the two rowed a boat and went to pick water chestnuts first.
Although they are in an embarrassing situation, after all, the young husband and wife are only together, just like the newlywed Yan'er, when no one points them at them, they are also carefree and affectionate.
Whispering and laughing, I suddenly heard someone talking in the lotus bush next to me:
"Look, that's the son-in-law of the Guo family!"
"Where?"
"Over there. The one rowing in front of him was Dagui, and the one standing next to him, dressed in red, was his brother-in-law. ”
"Oh, I see, I see!"
"How's it going? White and pure. ”
"Hey, like a reader."
"My mother said that there were a lot of dowries, including gold bracelets and gold hairpins."
"What's that! The Guo family still has to marry twenty acres of land! ”
"Really?"
"Of course it is. Daddy Guo said it to Li Zheng personally. ”
Some girls commented in a low voice:
"It's really blessed to be dumb and make such a good promise."
"I think this person is even better looking than Fukuda."
……
Zhang Futian and Li Hongzao involuntarily followed the sound to search for "Guo family's son-in-law".
looked over the layers of residual loads, and sure enough, I saw the Guo family's awning boat floating over there.
At the bow of the boat stood a handsome young man in red, smiling very brightly.
Zhang Futian suddenly felt a sour sense of loss and emptiness in his heart.
When I turned around again, I found that the red dates were also looking at Jiang Minghui blankly.
That's the dumb husband of the new betrothed?
Red dates looked at Jiang Minghui in a daze.
Even if she doesn't understand what temperament is, she has to admit: this young man is very good!
Suddenly, she felt that it was very quiet around her, and when she turned her face, Zhang Futian was looking at her.
She smiled and said, "Twenty acres of land for a son-in-law, what's so rare!" ”
After speaking, he grabbed two tender water chestnuts from behind him, washed them on the side of the boat, peeled off the shell, and sent the white kernels like jade into Zhang Futian's mouth.
Zhang Futian chewed it, and the taste was sweet.
Twenty acres of land for a son-in-law!
With this sentence in his heart, he continued to shake the pulp.
As the boat moved slowly, the red dates quickly scooped up the old and crippled water chestnut cabbage, picked the fruit and threw it to the cabin behind him. In a moment, the boat disappeared into the depths of the lotus leaf.
On the other side, Jiang Minghui said to Guo Dagui: "Go home, Dagui." ”
Guo Dagui looked at the sun, nodded and said, "Okay!" ”
Then he propped up the boat and turned around and rowed south.
"Third brother!"
Suddenly, a crisp cry came into my ears.
Guo Dagui raised his eyes and saw that there was a canopy boat parked in the lotus bush in front of him, and the two little girls were looking at this side curiously, more precisely, looking at Jiang Minghui.
Seeing them look over, the smaller girl shrank her head and shy herself in the canopy. Thinking that he had just called someone, it was not good to twist and pinch to hide, and he had the courage to stick his head out, looked at Guo Dagui and smiled, and then went to see Jiang Minghui.
Guo Dagui recognized that this was the cousin of his cousin's family, named Guo Pandi, who was only twelve years old.
Another older girl is named Chen Shuiqin, who is as big as a mute, fourteen years old.
Because the Guo family lives in the southeast corner of the village, and there is a compound to block it, it is also separated from the neighbors on the left and right for a while, and Guo Shouye and his wife are strict, dumb and shy and do not like to talk, so they rarely interact with girls of the same age in the village. Li Hongjube has a lively temperament and often comes to play with the dumb. In addition to her, Guo Pandi and Chen Shuiqin in front of them occasionally go to Guo's house to find Qingdu.
Guo Dagui said: "Brother Pan, where is the lotus?" ”
Brother Pan said: "Well, picking lotus." Third brother, why didn't the dumb sister come? ”
Guo Dagui said: "The family is busy. Brother Pan, go to my house for dinner. ”
Brother Pan hurriedly shook his head and said, "Don't go, there are many people." ”
After thinking about it, he said, "Tell Sister Qingdu, I'll go to her tomorrow." ”
Her mother was helping out at Guo's house today, and she actually wanted to go too, but she was afraid of people, so she didn't go.
Guo Dagui knew that the little girl was shy, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll tell Qingdu." ”
While rocking the boat away.
From beginning to end, he didn't talk to Shui Cress, not because he didn't want to pay attention to her, but because he was embarrassed.
The cress is as big as the dumb, and when he sees him, he blushes, and he is not easy to take the initiative to talk.
Jiang Minghui was stared at by the two girls, and he was not uncomfortable.
Since he came to Green Bay Village, he has been stared at by everyone. He was not bored, but he was very happy, and he had the consciousness of being a new son-in-law, so he calmly endured all kinds of eyes.
He saw Guo Dagui shaking the pulp slowly, and urged: "Hurry up!" ”
After speaking, he also picked up a pulp and stepped forward to help shake it.
It's been a long time since he came out, and he really wants to be dumb.
It's not that he wants to come out because he is playful, but many people came to the Guo family today, and he didn't go downstairs at all. He didn't want to run upstairs to her boudoir, and was asked by those elders, and he felt very bored, so he followed Guo Dagui out to fish.
Guo Dagui didn't understand his thoughts, and said with a smile: "Just hungry like this?" You didn't eat noodles first? ”
After the Jiang family came, the Guo family first laid egg noodles -- meaning "long (often) come and go long" -- and let them eat the bottom of the line, slightly postpone lunch, and serve it as breakfast and dinner, and just go home after eating.
Jiang Minghui didn't explain, just looked ahead and smiled.
The boat turned into the waterway in front of Guo's house, and soon he saw Qing dumb squatting by the water to wash something.
"Little sister!" He called her excitedly.
