Chapter 73: Marriage (1)
Qiduo returned home with Tan Dejin and handed over the 100 wen from the sale of firewood to the Zhao family.
Zhao Shi looked at the string of copper plates in his hand and pouted unsatisfied, "How many of your father and daughter have been busy all day to earn this?" Didn't you hide money in private? ”
A cart of firewood is sold for 100 Wen, which is considered a high price, and she is talking like this, purely looking for trouble.
"Mother, we ran a lot of land, and we sold the firewood, and I haven't eaten this meal yet." Tan Dekin said with a simple expression and some grievances.
When Zhao was about to refute, Old Man Tan glared at her, and then said to Tan Dejin and Qiduo, "Boss, you quickly take Qiduo to the kitchen to get some food, I specially asked the second daughter-in-law to leave food for you." ”
"Oh, Dad, then we'll go." Tan Dejin nodded hurriedly.
When he and Qiduo were about to leave, Old Man Tan added, "After eating, the eldest and your eldest daughter-in-law will come and talk to you about something." ”
"Dad, what's the matter?" As soon as he heard that he was going to say something, Anthi Dekin was a little nervous.
Old Man Tan smiled kindly, "Don't worry, it's a good thing, a big happy event, I'll talk about it when I'm full." ”
Tan Dejin happily agreed, and went to the kitchen with Qiduo to eat.
Qiduo is guessing what kind of happy event Old Man Tan will say, is it to split up?
Unlike, if it is really a separation, Old Man Tan will not use the word happy event to describe it.
At noon, there were still two large bowls of rice and a little green vegetables, all of which were already cold, and Qiduo fried the vegetables and rice together with some oil, and the father and daughter ate them.
"Dad, I don't know what grandpa wants to say to you and your mother?" Qiduo couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Looking at your grandfather's appearance, it should be a really good thing." Tedkin whispered.
Qiduo nodded. "Hopefully, Dad. You eat slowly, I'll go back and call my mother. ”
"Whoa." Tedejin answered.
Seven flowers trotted back to the backyard.
Rokuro is playing with stones with Daro and Shichiro in the yard. Very happy look.
Xu, Liuju, and Erxia are still doing needlework, and the shoes in Erxia's hands are about to be completed.
"Duo is back, where's your father?" Xu said with a smile.
"Dad is still eating in the kitchen, mother, eldest sister, second sister, show you a good thing." Qiduo said with a smile and ran to bolt the door.
Then he motioned for the Xu family to enter the inner room.
"You kid, what a good thing. Is this mysterious? Xu laughed.
The four of them entered the inner room, and Qiduo took out the two hundred taels of silver ticket in his arms and carefully handed it to Xu, "Mother, look." ”
Xu took the silver ticket, looked at it carefully, and suddenly looked surprised.
Qiduo and Yue Ke came to cooperate this time, and she asked Tan Dejin to keep it secret for the time being, wanting to surprise her family.
Therefore, the Xu family did not know that Lu Dao would have an income of two hundred taels of silver.
"Duo. Where did this come from? Xu asked, still in shock.
Liuju and Erxia are illiterate, and they have never seen a silver ticket, so they are busy asking Qiduo. "Duo, what is this?"
"Two hundred taels of silver." Qiduo lowered her voice and whispered into her sisters' ears.
"Ahh Oh my god! "The exaggerated mouth of the six oranges can swallow an egg.
Erxia was also very surprised. But the look of surprise on her face only flickered, and she quickly calmed down. But he still looked at Qiduo, waiting for her to explain the origin of the silver ticket.
Qiduo whispered the origin of the silver ticket, and handed the contract to the Xu family, asking her to help put it away.
Xu's eyes were red, tears couldn't help but burst out of his eyes, and he quickly turned his back, wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, and then hugged Qiduo into his arms.
"Duo, my father and mother are useless, but I make you work so hard, and my mother is proud of you." Xu choked up and whispered.
was praised, Qiduo was a little embarrassed, and said softly, "Mother, don't say that, we are all a family, and it is not hard to do something for our family." That's right, mother, grandpa just said that there is a big joy to tell you and father, hurry up, in the evening, I have to discuss something with you. ”
Xu wiped away his tears and nodded, "Well, I know it." ”
She went and put away the silver ticket and the deed.
"Duo, you're so capable." Liuju and Erxia each took Qiduo's arm, their eyes were soft, and their faces were full of smiles.
"Hee-hee." Qiduo grinned and said, "I really want to buy some things for you, but unfortunately I can't show my wealth now, when we split up, let my father take us to the county seat for a good visit, you can buy whatever you want." ”
"I don't want anything, as long as my father and mother are happy." Erxia said softly.
She's not hypocritical, she's sincere.
Liuju pouted, "I want to buy a velvet flower with braids, it's so beautiful." ”
"Poof." Qiduo smiled, such a simple request.
Xu put away his things, walked over, touched the hair of his three daughters one by one, and said softly, "You are at home, and my mother will go to the room." ”
"Mother, I'll go with you." Qiduo got up, she was worried that her father and mother were too honest and would be calculated by Old Man Tan and them.
Liuju also smiled and said, "Mother, I'll go too." ”
Xu Shi didn't stop it, and nodded, "Then let's go together, see what's going on, Xia do you want to go?" ”
As Qiduo expected, Erxia shook her head, "Mother, I'm not going, I'll look at Liulang, you can go." ”
Xu nodded and went to the upper room with Qiduo and Liuju.
In the upper room, in addition to Mr. and Mrs. Tan and Tan Dejin, there are also Mr. and Mrs. Tan Deyin and Tan Decai.
Old Man Tan wanted to drive Qiduo and Liuju away, but after thinking about it, he swallowed his words and said, "I called you here to talk about a happy event, that is, Erxia's family affair."
This child is really blessed, this family business is a good one, Erxia can marry a good family, and our family is happy. ”
"Dad, is it true, where is the man's family? Who is in the family? Can people be kind? Xu asked in surprise, this incident came too suddenly, so that she couldn't believe it was true.
She and Tan Dekin looked at each other, both with joy and anticipation in their eyes.
Since Erxia's family affair was maliciously slandered last year, they have been worried, and now seeing Old Man Tan's expression and tone, this family affair should be really good.
They don't have too much luxury. Even if you are poor, you are not afraid, as long as the male family is kind. Be kind to Erxia, don't speak coldly and let her be wronged.
Xu Shi empathizes with this. If it weren't for Zhao's unreasonableness and cynicism that made her very aggrieved and sad, she and Tan Dejin were very happy and warm.
Tan Dejin doesn't know how to talk sweetly, but he knows cold and hot and hurts her very much, and he has never said a word of weight to her loudly over the years, and he respects her everywhere, which makes her very moved.
Qiduo and Liuju were very surprised, but they didn't expect it to be a great event.
After the accident, I was happy, and the eldest sister was finally going to say goodbye. I hope she can marry a good in-law.
The two stared at Old Man Tan with burning eyes, looking forward to his next words.
"Tell me, old woman." Old Man Tan looked at Zhao with a smile.
As long as Zhao thinks of the rich dowry and bride price, his heart is sweeter than smearing honey.
She replied to Xu with a rare smile, "Eldest daughter-in-law, you are secretly burning high incense behind your back, otherwise where can Erxia marry such a good person."
The male family is the only son of the forest landlord in Hulin Town, the Lin family has a big business, and most of Hulin Town is the property of their Lin family. Young Master Lin is twenty-one years old. was born with a talent, and Erxia married in the past, and she will be the head of the Lin family in the future. ”
As for the dowry and bride price, of course, she didn't say anything. These things have nothing to do with anyone else.
Zhao said to Tan Dejin again, "Boss, you always work against me on weekdays. But I, a mother, never bothered with you, and found a good family for Erxia. Be content. ”
She spoke hilariously and wanted to ask for credit.
But the Qiduo family was very puzzled while being happy, if the Zhao family didn't have any water. This is indeed a satisfactory family affair, but it is such a good family affair, why don't you give Tan Guihua anything.
Although Tan Guihua is a little younger, she will be able to get married in the next year.
And in addition to Tan Guihua, there are also three peaches, how did such a good thing fall on Erxia's head?
It was not the thoughts of the Qiduo family, but the Zhao family's personality, which made them have to think more.
Usually there is something good, when it will be their turn to be in the big house, and suddenly something good is coming, and I can't help but think a little more.
Xu was overjoyed and asked Zhao, "Mother, I don't know which matchmaker got the line?" Can you believe her words or not? ”
Zhao immediately glared at her, "What are you asking, who are you being my wife, if you can't trust someone, how can you casually respond to this family."
The matchmaker is your second mother's cousin-in-law, and they are all relatives, and you say that you can not believe what people say. I knew that you were this person who didn't know what to do, so you shouldn't think about Erxia's girl, it's really unconscionable. ”
Xu's face turned red.
After listening to Zhao's words, Qiduo became even more suspicious.
The matchmaker is Yang's cousin-in-law, and this family affair should not fall on Erxia, could it be that Yang is a son-in-law, and gave this golden egg to Erxia.
Xu Shi endured his anger, smiled, and said, "Mother, it's not that I don't know what to do, it's a lifelong event related to Erxia, of course I'm a mother, I have to ask a few more words." If I don't pay attention to it, my father and mother will blame me for not being like my mother, and even my daughter's family affairs are so sloppy. ”
In a word, the Zhao family was silent for a long time.
Can she say that her daughter's family affairs should not be too talkative.
Xu looked at Yang and said gently, "Erniang, there is a sentence, I want to ask, don't be surprised." We are both mothers, which mother doesn't want her daughter to marry a good family, what I don't understand is that such a good family affair, why don't you say it to Santao? ”
Qiduo nodded secretly, this is exactly what she wanted to ask, however, it was not appropriate for her to say this on this occasion, and Xu Shi said it was the most appropriate.
She also moved her gaze to Yang, and there was a slight expression on Yang's face.
Yang's slightly dark face showed embarrassment, as if he was a little embarrassed.
When Qiduo didn't understand why she was embarrassed, she said with a cold face, "Auntie, don't use these words to scold me, I won't tell lies, if people can get along with the three peaches, of course it won't be your turn to Erxia."
In fact, I'm not convinced, where is my family's three peaches worse than Erxia, but my cousin-in-law said that Erxia is more peugeot, if it weren't for relatives, I would want to turn my face, it's really more popular than people, hum! ”
An indignant expression and a sour tone.
This painful expression made Qiduo and their family unable to see anything wrong.
Regardless of appearance and character, Santao is indeed inferior to Erxia, and I think the Lin family is in love with Erxia and looks beautiful.
"That's right, Young Master Lin was arrogant and said that he had to find a peerless beauty to be his wife, otherwise he would not marry for life. Otherwise, people will not have become biological children long ago, and there are such good things to cheapen you. Zhao pouted and said the reason.
Young Master Lin likes beauties?
Qiduo's brows couldn't help but twist up, no matter how beautiful her face is, she will eventually grow old one day, the eldest sister is beautiful now, when her complexion fades one day, will Young Master Lin still like it?
Will he go on another beauty hunt?
And the children of rich families have some inferior roots, from the fact that Young Master Lin is not a beauty and does not marry, it can be seen that he is a superficial person, and he is a little unreliable.
I don't know what bad habits he has besides loving beauty.
After a thought, Qiduo's previous excitement suddenly faded, and he was not optimistic about Young Master Lin, preferring Erxia to marry an ordinary family and live a plain and simple life.
Liuju was still young, so he didn't think too far, and after listening to the words of the Yang family and the Zhao family, he raised his chin a little proudly and whispered, "Hmph, no one is as good-looking as the eldest sister." ”
Qiduo smiled at her, and then looked at Tan Dejin and Xu, wondering what they thought of it.
Tan Dejin had a happy look on his face, and he should be very satisfied with this family business.
Xu's expression was a little light, his eyes did not move, as if he was thinking about something.
Old Man Tan saw that Qiduo's family suddenly quieted down, raised his thick eyebrows, and asked incredulously, "Boss, eldest daughter-in-law, this family business, are you still not compatible?" (To be continued......)
