Volume 1 Return to the Hometown Chapter 28, and take a step back
Changsheng calmly called out to his father, and then called his mother, and turned back to Yusheng and said, "You go and call the eldest brother to come over, I have something to say to him." ”
Yusheng went out in response, Changsheng helped his mother and wiped the tears on her face: "Mother is angry about the bracelet?" Don't be angry, nothing matters about your mother's body. Dad and brother are right, even if Changsheng is at home, they will give it to me, not to mention that the bracelet has been given to Yusheng, so she should be in charge. In the peaceful and prosperous era, buying a house and land is the most cost-effective, how can you miss such a good thing? No matter how valuable a bracelet is, it is not bigger than eating, but the field is for a family to eat! ”
Zhou Houchun was stunned, his face was a little unbearable, and he hesitated for a moment and asked, "Have you heard everything?" ”
For this daughter who has been away from home for eight years and has only seen a few faces, he has never been close, and today he has done such a thing, although he has cleverly defended himself, but if the trouble will be made to let outsiders know, he will not be poked in the back and scolded for a lifetime, originally he raised two hundred taels of silver today to buy the whole land, many people are jealous and hateful, and they hate to catch him a little wrong and slander him to be comfortable.
Changsheng was still unfazed: "It was Yusheng who overheard it when he was burning the kang for his father, and asked his father and mother not to blame, but fortunately she told me, otherwise I wouldn't know that my father and mother were unhappy about this matter." ”
Zhou Wangshi looked at her daughter who had been greatly wronged but forbearance, glared at her husband fiercely, and pulled her to sit down, but she didn't know what to say.
Zhou Houchun didn't expect that Changsheng not only didn't ask for the crime, but also gave him the stairs, but he was really ashamed, and pretended to say: "An Sheng, this damn thing hasn't come over for a long time, I'll take a look!" ”
Changsheng pressed him and sat down: "Dad doesn't have to go, big brother will come." It's not that Changsheng cares too much about a bracelet, no matter how precious things are, they can't compare to the nurturing feelings of his father, it's just that this bracelet was given by the godmother in the palace, she has great kindness to Changsheng, without her, I would have died in the deep palace, so I was reluctant. It's over at this point, I just keep my godmother's kindness in mind. Changsheng still remembers the pain of being hungry when he was a child, and it was important for the whole family to have enough to eat. ”
In fact, whether she is hungry or not, she also guessed, she heard Mama Zhou say that she was hungry and thin when she entered the palace, and there was a shortage of soldiers in those years, most of the poor people could not eat enough, and the children of the Zhou family were many and young, so they would definitely starve.
As he was talking, he caught a glimpse of Zhou Ansheng quietly coming in and standing in a corner, and seemed to be a little excited when he heard this: "Yes, Changsheng is right, because of the war in those years, I often can't eat enough, once I took you and Qiaosheng to dig wild vegetables, and cut off a thick and big long worm (snake), you two were scared and cried, I was also scared, but I was really hungry and panicked, and I felt that there was nothing to be afraid of dead things, so I peeled the skin and disemboweled to find some water to wash it, and tricked you into going home to get the fire fold, The three of us ate a full meal of snake meat in the field with a stick and a full meal, although there was no oil or salt, but the taste was very fragrant, and I haven't told my father and mother until now, do you remember? ”
Of course, Changsheng didn't remember, so he just followed his words with a touched look: "Remember!" Of course I do! I remember the eldest brother's care for Changsheng! ”
Zhou Houchun finally found the entry point to ease the relationship, and laughed hehehe: "Also, the brother and sister who grew up together since childhood, smashed the bones and connected the tendons, what is the festival that can't be forgotten?" I have worked hard with your mother for so many years, and I have finally pulled you all up, you have already married and married, and Yusheng has also hired someone, and in the future, everyone will pay attention to finding a good in-law for Changsheng to marry, and I will settle a matter with your mother. ”
Zhou Wang also remembered the hardships of raising children when he was a child, looking at the three neat children, he felt a little better, and glared at his husband: "You only think of the lifelong event of immortality now?" I took her away to relatives and worshippers a few days ago, just to let people see how good a child we are, a good woman, and only when there are more people who propose relatives can we pick a good one! ”
Zhou Houchun got a big bargain and successfully resolved the turmoil, his father was kind and filial to his son, and he was in a very good mood: "Okay, you must pay attention to picking the good ones, don't be wronged by Changsheng, let's go eat now!" ”
"Wait!"
Changsheng spoke, and Zhou Houchun's father and son looked at her uneasily, thinking that she had changed her mind and refused to give up. Changsheng smiled faintly: "Although a bracelet is nothing, it is too much to Yusheng, now speaking of which, everyone in the family has given me a meeting gift, only Yusheng does not, how can this work?" ”
After speaking, he took off the gold earrings and pulled off the gold hairpin, and he was about to wear them for Yusheng: "In my sister's jewelry, there are only these two valuable things, give them to my sister as compensation, and marry more beautifully in the future, Dad!" Mother! Elder brother! You say don't you? ”
Zhou Houchun and Zhou Ansheng were stunned at the same time, they thought that Changsheng would not give up, but they didn't expect her to be so generous, and the expression on her face was extremely complicated for a while.
The docile Yusheng was stubborn and resolutely refused, Zhou Wang's eyes were red again, and he took Changsheng's hand: "You always think about others, what about you?" The jade bracelet has been changed to the ground, and the gold one is given to Yusheng, you only have the silver one, what will you do if you marry in the future? This family can't be too much to you! You keep these, just give the pair of gold earrings you gave me to Yusheng, my mother is old, you don't need to wear this! ”
Changsheng insisted that it was a little bit of her heart to her mother, and she was not allowed to give it to anyone, and she couldn't hold on to it, Zhou Houchun interjected: "Your earrings are filial piety to your daughter, just leave it, if Changsheng's heart is not received, she will not follow, so let's do it, Jin Hai Changsheng will stay as a dowry, and the earrings will be given to Yusheng, everyone will have a share, isn't it the best?" ”
Changsheng nodded in agreement, but insisted on inserting the golden hairpin into Yusheng, and the gold earrings were kept by himself, because the weight of the golden hairpin was much heavier than the gold earrings, Yusheng was her beloved sister, and there was nothing to be reluctant towards, if she really got married, she would secretly give her a few good things to press the bottom of the box. But Yusheng resolutely didn't want to, the two couldn't hold each other for a while, and finally Zhou Wang's had to speak, the gold earrings were given to Yusheng, and the golden hairpin Changsheng was left by himself.
While Zhou Houchun was ashamed, he also breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to call the family to dinner, when Zhou Liangsheng, who had not shown up since being scolded away, appeared at the door indignantly.
"Everybody's got to play? Second sister's things, why do you all have a share? I've been standing outside the door and listening for a long time, don't you think it's too much of a loss to the second sister to do this? I only know that if I leave her in the palace to earn money, who cares if she lives or dies? She sent a letter to go back to the palace, none of you went to pick it up, and you didn't allow me to go, if it weren't for my uncle, I couldn't stop what she was like now, and robbed her of her things more than one positive! ”
The turmoil that had just subsided was provoked by Liangsheng again, and Zhou Houchun was annoyed and ashamed: "You unfilial son! What nonsense? Your sister's filial piety to her father's mother, how can it be called robbery? The family provides you with good food and drink, and doesn't let you do any rough work, so that you can concentrate on studying and glorifying your ancestors, and you still accuse us like this? ”
As he spoke, he was about to pull the ear scraper, but he was stopped by Zhou Wang's and Zhou An's life. Changsheng was very relieved in his heart, the words of having a good life are enough, and the men of the Zhou family finally have a reliable one.
