Chapter 17: Family Matters (Part II)
When the four brothers arrived at Hu's house, the eldest brother told him everything. The eldest brother and the third brother are honest, stupid and can't speak, and the Hu family can't pull down their faces and are unwilling to accept it, so the two sides argued.
The third brother, who was already a little violent, threw the money into the fire and threatened the Hu family not to want it, and they would burn all their shares in the future.
The mother-in-law hurriedly snatched the money out of the fire and scolded distressedly: "Ziliang, what are you doing?" If you have something to say, won't you say it well? ”
The eldest brother also lost his temper, and gave the third brother a slap in the face, pointing to the door of the stove room (kitchen) and scolding: "Get out of the house, this is not your share of being wild!" ”
Under the authority of the eldest brother, the third brother went out of the cold wind in a gray manner.
"Xiao Wu, you come to tell your father-in-law, I'm stupid."
Sun Tzu clearly reasoned with his father-in-law in detail, the capital was from the Hu family, he was the son-in-law of the Hu family, the old Sun family did not have enough hands, and he had to help with three uncles, etc. After a long time, I finally finished saying this, and my father-in-law (mother) accepted the money and shares.
The second uncle went outside to call the third brother in, and everyone put food and wine on the table again, and listened to Sun Ziming tell interesting stories about the capital.
Hu Juan leaned on Sun Ziming's shoulder, listening to him talk about the affairs of the capital, and couldn't help but be fascinated.
"Brother Ziming, when will I go to the capital to see you, go to see your school. If you have to ride a bicycle in class, how old is your school? ”
"Oh, yes. Father, Mom, after the New Year, I have to take Juanzi to the capital. I have a friend at the Central Conservatory of Music who helped Juanzi to go to their affiliated middle school and wait until July to apply for their school."
"What does the Central Conservatory of Music do? Also specialized in singing? ”
Sun Ziming explained to his father-in-law (mother), and they were surprised and delighted. Hu Juan was admitted to the normal school, and they were already satisfied, but they didn't expect that they would have the opportunity to go to university now! The three uncles were also elated, and poured wine for Sun Ziming one after another, and everyone returned happy.
When they went home, the three brothers walked a hundred meters in front of them, leaving some space for the young couple in the back.
"Brother Ziming, can I really be admitted to the Central Conservatory of Music? That's the highest music school in the country! ”
"Half-truth, that's for your parents, I'm going to sign a contract with a Hong Kong record company, and I want to take you to audition. If it goes well, we'll go to Hong Kong together ......."
Hu Juan frightened Sun Ziming's words, she actually wants to be a big singer? Like on TV? The dizzy Hu Juan hugged Sun Ziming's arm tightly, and only came to his senses when he was about to walk to the entrance of the village.
"Brother Ziming, why don't you explain it to your family?"
"What if it doesn't work out? Besides, if my dad knows that I dropped out of school and went to Hong Kong, won't I discount my legs? I'll have to go to college over there and then tell them."
"That's right."
Hu Juan never thought that her grandson would not be able to sign the contract, or that she would not be able to pass the record company. Anyway, as long as Sun Ziming is by her side, there is a big pit in front of her, and she dares to open her eyes and jump down!
When she got home, Hu Juan followed the eighth sister to whisper and sleep, and a few men went to the stove room (kitchen) to chat over the fire.
Now that the family has money, the house has to be repaired, the boss's relatives have to go to the matchmaker, and the ancestral tomb has to be repaired .......
Sun Ziming listened to the nagging of the eldest uncle and the second uncle, drank slightly bitter soil tea, and roasted the fire, and was very satisfied.
……
With money in hand, the Sun family and the Hu family bought enough New Year's goods and prepared to have a prosperous New Year. Taking advantage of the fact that there were still a few days left for the New Year, the Sun family began to build a new house, and the four brothers of the Sun family went to the brick factory to order bricks, looking for help everywhere, and scattered more than 10,000 yuan within three days. Only then did everyone react, and then there was a flood of rumors among relatives.
The eldest brother took a fancy to an 18-year-old girl in a neighboring township, who was smart and honest. The two sides met at the eldest brother's grandmother's house, and the other party was also very satisfied with the eldest brother. The two elders saw that they both liked it, and they got engaged after the New Year, and then came to the wedding after the new house was built.
You can't blame rural people for being snobbish, who doesn't feel sorry for their daughter? Whether a man has the ability or not, I can't see this, but my family background can be seen. It is better to marry someone from a better family than to marry a poor family, and your own daughter can suffer less sin.
The third brother finally couldn't stand the nagging of the second uncle (mother) and the lobbying of the matchmaker, and took out a photo of him and a girl from Shencheng to show everyone.
"I have a partner, and I was a nurse when I was doing business in Shencheng."
The second uncle was even more unhappy when he saw it, the girl looked taller than the third brother, one meter eight!
"Dad, people wear high heels, but the shoes are so high."
The more the third brother said that the second uncle was more confused, but fortunately, Hu Juan was beside him and stretched out his foot to show the second uncle.
"Second dad (uncle), you see that I am wearing high heels, and I look tall when I wear them. The third brother's object is taller than mine, and she is definitely not as tall as the third brother."
The second uncle just gave up, the girl looked very pleasing to the eye, she was still a girl in a big city, and she was more than enough for her son.
Xiao Qi also encountered the troubles of the third brother, but his method was even more desperate, and he slipped away directly.
The second matchmaker in the family came to the door, and he couldn't find his figure.
……
The eldest uncle and the second uncle's family were busy receiving relatives who came to the door, Zhang Luo's relatives of three big and small men, and the grandson watched the excitement with a smile, or he accompanied the two mothers (aunt) to do housework, and he enjoyed the warmth of this kind of home very much.
At the beginning of the first year, it was the day of visiting relatives, and after walking around her grandmother's house, Juanzi wore beautiful clothes, pulled Sun Ziming to go to her relatives, and showed that she was married to a good man. Sun Ziming also happily followed her and satisfied her vanity.
Under Sun Ziming's deliberate obedience, Hu Juan finally began to be like when he was a child, letting him carry him when no one was around, or leaning on him like a little koala. When Hu Juan's parents saw their grandson like this, they finally relieved their hearts and no longer worried about their daughter.
In the countryside for the New Year, there are firecrackers everywhere, people are everywhere who go to relatives, this year's weather is good, there is no rain or snow, and the roads and mountain roads are full of people carrying gifts to relatives.
Sun Ziming also carried a backpack and two gifts in his hand, walking on the road with a foreign spirit like a city girl, and from time to time he had to greet his acquaintances, peers, and the same year.
"Brother Ziming, I think you don't seem to be the same as before?"
"What's different?"
Juanzi held Sun Ziming's hand carrying the gift, tilted her head and thought for a while before she remembered something.
"In the past, you ignored people, such as those who fought in the past few hours, and you ignored them before, but now you will take the initiative to greet them."
"Hehe, I'm not married. When you become a family, you are an adult, how can you still play with the temper of a child like before".
Hu Juan didn't think much about it, anyway, she felt that Brother Ziming was so good, not as high as before, and she felt inferior to him when she stood in front of him.
