066 Sold the flowers
"Anyway, there are only five taels of silver in the house! Yuangui can't delay this year, the Yuanhai family will have a baby in two months, and I am still thinking that half of the sorghum at home will have to be sold before I can ask for a stable wife for the Mu family. What do you say? Li Shi is also single, and after shaking the bottom of the house directly, he shrank on the chair and looked at his nose and nose, and he didn't let go no matter how much trouble he made down.
Qiao Hammer had advanced a few months' wages in front of him, where could he take out another two taels of silver; Qiao Yuanhong has a private house with two taels of silver, but for his own selfishness, he must have pointed his gun at Xiao Li and the others.
It seems that the harmonious family is making trouble over the money, Qiao Baisheng is so old after all, listening to these juniors you accuse me and I abuse you for not being in place, I only feel my temples beating for a while, and my heart is also rushing up, as if it is about to come out of my throat.
"Grandpa......" Only Qiao Yuangui didn't speak, secretly observing the head of the family who was actually alive and dead, seeing Qiao Baisheng's face turn bad, he was so frightened that he shouted and rushed forward to help him who was crumbling.
At this moment, the family panicked. Fortunately, the old people in the village will encounter such a situation from time to time, and they will get cold water and cloth towels, and they will finally bring back Qiao Baisheng's old life. Qiao Baisheng, who was sitting on the Taishi's chair, was extremely weak, but he was unwilling to just leave the problem alone, this was not the true nature of the head of his family.
It was at this time that Qiao Yuangui stepped on Qiao Yuanfu fiercely, and pressed his palm on the Eight Immortals table.
Wood! Qiao Yuanfu's eyes lit up, and he knelt on the ground as soon as he lifted his scholar's robe: "Grandpa, it's all Fu'er who is not filial!" For the sake of Fu'er, grandpa worries about it. Actually, Fu'er has an idea. But I'm afraid that if I say it, I will be said to be a big rebel. ”
Qiao Yuanfu can be regarded as the best-looking male in the Qiao family's generation, with clear eyebrows and fair skin. With a guilty and sad look, he knelt on the ground and immediately asked Qiao Baisheng to help him up even if he was not feeling well.
Qiao Yuangui hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop Qiao Baisheng's movements, and pretended to be angry and scolded Qiao Yuanfu on the ground: "Yuanfu, what are you doing?" Now that you know the great rebellion, what else do you mention? ”
"It doesn't matter. Fu'er has something to do, but it doesn't hurt to say it. If someone says that you are rebellious, you can say that the old man taught you. Qiao Baisheng is really old, and he didn't even listen to Qiao Yuanfu and put his feet high. In other words, he himself really doted on Qiao Yuanfu to an unparalleled degree.
"The third uncle's flower is not ...... for Lu Xianxing to take away" Before Qiao Yuanfu finished speaking, Qiao Baisheng's body on the hill fell heavily backwards, and there was a burst of rescue of people turning on their backs, but no one blamed Qiao Yuanfu's proposal for being "rebellious".
Qiao Baisheng didn't wake up immediately this time, and was sent inside to rest, but outside Qiao Chengyin and the others did not break up because of this. On the contrary, it was Li's ass that pouted and sat in the original position of Qiao Baisheng, "Just now, your grandfather said that he taught Yuanfu, have you heard this?" ”
If there is no objection, that is the default. This is not only the practice of the Qiao family, since no one has spoken to him, the Li family took a breath and naturally continued: "The old man of our family has spoken, for the sake of our family's future, the wooden family should also do their best, and in the future, when Yuangui and Yuanfu have a future, his family will also enjoy happiness, right?" Who is not meat in the palm of the hand and the back of the hand? You see, your grandfather can't bear it. It's out of my way to say something like that! ”
In a word, it was obvious that Qiao Yuanfu, who was a nephew, wanted to sell his uncle's biological daughter, and immediately became the old man Qiao Baisheng who was trying his best for this family Zen, if Qiao Mutou was unwilling. The hat that designates this great unfilial piety must be fastened on his head.
The people below look at me one by one, I look at you, and none of you spoke, and it seems that they acquiesced to Li's statement. This sense of superiority of "as soon as I open my mouth, who will compete" has always been the highest state pursued by the Li family. Seeing this, he was very satisfied and continued to order: "It's late tonight, tomorrow morning, Fu'er will personally invite your third uncle and third aunt to come over." ”
Qiao Yuanfu naturally bowed down. At this time. Mu Shi, who was pregnant, hesitated and muttered, "Isn't the flower less than ten years old?" "Children under the age of 10 will not be bought and sold for a large price.
The people who originally wanted to leave the scene stayed because of this sentence, and Qiao Hammer couldn't help but show nervousness. If the flowers can't be sold, Yuanfu's children's test will really be useless.
"You can let the flower top my Sister Hui's household registration!" Although the household registration order issued by General Zhenxi is strict, the characteristics of children under the age of thirteen are not obvious, so the household registration of the children below Qiao Yuanhui only has their names and ages, and there is no appearance characteristic, which is an excuse for Qiao Yuanfu to take advantage of loopholes.
"I don't want to change the name with the cauliflower!" Now it was Qiao Yuanhui's turn to be unconvinced, thinking that his name would be occupied by an ugly girl like Caihua, and it was a bit of annoyance.
"Silly girl, don't you think the name 'Qiao Yunying' sounds good? If you change it with the flower, the name will become yours. When the time comes, your sister will become the daughter-in-law of the village chief's family, and let's ask the village chief to help you pass you back again. Li said her plan lovingly, and Yun Ying was like a prey in her hands.
After persuading Qiao Yuanhui, there seemed to be no other problem, and the family that was still arguing just now dispersed happily, as if the haze that shrouded the main room at night was just an illusion.
Early the next morning, Gu Banniang came to the old courtyard with Qiao Mutou. Here, Gu Banniang only lived for two days, but she hated and was afraid of this place from the bottom of her bones, she was afraid that this big family would say something to Qiao Mutou on her back, even if her body was still a little unhappy, she forced Qiao Mutou back to the old yard with her support.
"Tut-tut, the third brother and sister are really blessed." Luo first saw the two of them enter the door, and the action of feeding the pigs slowed down, and his mouth was full of sourness.
"The second sister-in-law is a good blessing, I will be able to eat pork during the Chinese New Year this year, and I don't know if I, as a younger sister, can get some light." Gu Banniang is now pregnant with a child and is feeling refreshed, and of course Luo Shi can only ask for his own hardships.
Luo "snapped" and threw away the wooden scoop to feed the pigs, if it weren't for the two of them nodding later, she would have to grab two flowers out of the little goblin's face. Knowing that this pig is the treasure of his mother-in-law Li, he is still gossiping here when the time comes. glared at Gu Banniang's tender white palm hanging on Qiao Mu's wrist again, and hummed: "If you come, hurry to the main room, our father, eldest brother, and sister-in-law have been waiting all morning." ”
With that, she twisted her fat hips and led her way into the room, and sat on the right hand side of the Eight Immortals Table with Qiao Hammer. At the top of the Eight Immortals Table sat Qiao Chengyin and the Li family, on the left sat Qiao Shi and Xiao Li, but there were no stools at the bottom, and the two stools were placed at the door of the hall opposite the Eight Immortals Table.
Seeing this battle, Qiao Mutou's legs were weak first, if it weren't for Gu Banniang pulling him, it is estimated that he would have knelt down first to confess his guilt.
"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, eldest brother and sister-in-law, second brother and second sister-in-law, they haven't been on the ground today." Gu Banniang dragged Qiao Mutou and sat on the bench by the door, and pinched Qiao Mutou's wrist stiffly: "Brother Mu is about to tell you a happy event, right?" Brother Wood. ”
Qiao Mutou's face changed when he was pinched, but he almost formed a natural reaction when he was instructed all the way, and when he nodded, he said: "Banniang is pregnant." ”
It was obviously a happy event, but when he said this with a wooden expression, it was like a funeral, so angry that Gu Banniang gave him an invincible spin pinch.
"It's a good thing to be imported." To Qiao Mutou's surprise, the Li family at the top smiled and spoke first: "When you leave later, bring ten eggs back to replenish your body." ”
Gu Banniang blinked flatteredly, and responded with joy, but when she didn't see Luo's face on the side, she darkened again.
"Since we are going to add people again, does Mu have the money to invite Wen Po and hold a banquet? Have you ever thought about the fact that you have to build a house with a child, and the house on the other side of the sand has been leaking a few times this year? Shouldn't I cultivate and cultivate, or simply let Banniang go back to her parents' house to borrow some money and push the grass house to build a mud house. Li threw out one practical question after another, and successfully sobered up the arbor couple, who were immersed in happiness and joy. Gu Banniang's face was full of consternation, Qiao Mutou showed panic in a daze, and looked at the people at the table of the Eight Immortals with eyes asking for help.
"Ahem, wood. We have already separated, and you have to come up with your own ideas for these things, and your eldest brother and second brother only have a lot of strength, and they can't help you anything. Xiao Li has always cooperated with Li and Li tacitly, and immediately objectively pointed out the reality of Qiao Mutou's isolation.
So what to do? Qiao Mutou's face was clearly filled with these four words; Gu Banniang also felt a little difficult for a while, if it weren't for Yun Ying and the three of them eating at Guan's house from time to time these days, it is estimated that the little silver money she embroidered would not be enough for the five people to eat half-full. If you add a child, do you want the child to grow up like a few distant roots who can't eat enough and don't have enough clothes to wear? She didn't want her own child to suffer this. Thinking of this, she covered her lower abdomen with one hand, and secretly waited for everyone on the table above to say the following.
"Here we are also worried that you will have a hard time. Last night, your grandfather said that you were still sick, and even if you were sick, you thought of a way out of the question. Li pinched his thigh, pulled the cloth towel in his sleeve and wiped the corners of his eyes, it really looked like that.
Qiao Mutou couldn't hold back anything, Gu Banniang hurriedly took it on, "I don't know what good way out my master has thought of for our family?" ”
"Sell the flowers! One can save some rations, and you can exchange some money for emergency relief. Luo Che felt that his mother-in-law and sister-in-law were really anxious to talk to each other, what a big deal, just say no, why bother? It is only right to settle down and let my son go back to the academy to continue his studies with peace of mind. (To be continued......)
