Chapter 188: A sad past
Qiduo was busy asking Sister-in-law Li to talk about it.
If Sister-in-law Li really has the right person here, it would be great.
She has been working in the Shen family for nearly ten years, and she is very familiar with all aspects of her personality, and the people she introduced should be very reliable and trustworthy.
The person Sister-in-law Li said is her cousin, who is forty-two years old this year, and her sister-in-law can also cook good dishes, and the children are all married, but the daughter-in-law is not very filial, and they are a little unhappy together.
My cousin and sister-in-law asked Sister-in-law Li to help find something to do, not for money, as long as there is a place to live and something to eat, and if you are far away from your daughter-in-law, you can save yourself a lot of worry.
"There is such a thing, why didn't you say it earlier, I can help you." Zheng Wanru was angry.
"I don't dare to bother you, madam, and that's what they said when I went back two days ago." Sister-in-law Li replied embarrassedly.
Zheng Wanru is very good to her on weekdays, where is she embarrassed to make excessive demands.
Qiduo nodded slightly.
is a relative of Sister-in-law Li, who knows the roots, is not very old, and her sister-in-law can cook, so she is a good candidate.
However, cooking is no better than anything else, not only is it delicious, but food hygiene and safety are the most important things.
So Qiduo asked Sister-in-law Li to take the time to bring them over to meet her, and she wanted to interview first.
If you pass the interview, you will also consider asking Lang Zhong to see if they are in good health, for the sake of the health of all employees.
"Thank you, Madame and Seventh Maiden. I'll take the time to go back and talk to them tomorrow. Sister-in-law Li thanked Zheng Wanru and Qiduo very gratefully.
Qiduo had a few more gossips with Zheng Wanru before going back.
After returning home, she checked the lotus root that was going to be transported tomorrow with Tan Dejin and Xu.
Tan Dejin also looked at the carriage and the ox cart carefully. OK no problem. The family went to rest.
The second day is the beginning of the day. Qiduo's family didn't move and got up on time.
Xu took Liuju to cook, Erxia went to feed the chickens and ducklings, Qiduo cleaned up the house, Tan Dejin went to the river to carry water, and the family performed their duties.
The joyful music of pots and pans, the cooing of chickens and ducks, and the sound of Liulang Langlang reading, the yard became lively.
Tan Debao rushed back before breakfast. He also went to deliver lotus root today.
These days, he has been busy with lotus ponds, and he has obviously lost some weight.
Although he was thin, he was in excellent spirits, and his smile hung on his face all day long, and the originally formidable face of Hades had now become kind.
Qiduo often let him rest well, and don't go to Luhuapo at night.
But he grinned, "Silly girl, I sleep the same everywhere." ”
Qiduo could see that there was some bitterness in his smile.
Alas, yes. Everyone else has married and had children at this age, and the children gather around every day to call their father. He is still alone, although he doesn't care on the surface, but who can understand the pain in his heart.
If he lets him live alone in an empty house, it is better to let him guard Luhuapo with others, at least he will not be lonely.
So, she didn't mention it again.
But I have always kept Tan Debao's lifelong events in mind.
After breakfast, the lotus root began to be loaded.
In addition to an ox cart and a horse-drawn cart owned by the Qiduo family, they also rented the ox carts of Old Man Tan and Tan Dama's family.
The bamboo basket was put on the car, tied with ropes, and then set off for the city.
The family left Erxia, Liuju and Liulang to guard the door, and Xu also followed at the request of Qiduo, she also wanted to go to Mrs. Kang's house to have a look, which can be regarded as recognizing the door.
Zheng Wanru also followed, and Qiduo got into her carriage with Xu.
The three of them walked all the way, gossiping all the way.
The topic unconsciously came to Tan Debao.
Qiduo's eyes rolled, and he took the opportunity to say to Xu, "Mother, you ask someone to help the fourth uncle find a fourth mother, others are so good, and they haven't started a family until now, it's a pity." ”
Zheng Wanru treats her as a daughter.
She didn't treat Zheng Wanru as an outsider, so she said this in front of Zheng Wanru.
Zheng Wanru looked at her with pity, shook her head slightly, and said softly, "Qiduo, you can't rest, why don't you worry about everything." ”
found that Qiduo hadn't seen her idle since she could speak.
Xu Shi looked at Zheng Wanru and smiled gently, "Mrs. Shen, you are right, this child is worried about everything, but in the final analysis, it is useless for us as parents, otherwise, where would she be so burdened." ”
"Ah, mother, I don't like to hear you say this again. What does it mean to be useful or useless? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be there. Mother, don't say these words again next time, okay, no matter how great the ability of the children is, it is also taught by their parents, where someone is born with this and that. Qiduo hurriedly refuted Xu.
She really didn't want to hear Xu say such things, which made people sound weird and sad.
I don't want Xu to be so humble!
She did all this not to praise and praise others, but to improve her current living environment and hope to live a better life in the future. Only when you are busy, you will not think of your past life, you will not think of your parents, and you will not be sad.
She doesn't need her current parents to humble herself in front of her, so as to show her value, as long as they can unconditionally support everything she wants to do, it's good!
No matter how capable a person is, if you trample your parents under your feet, then your income is limited and disdainful.
"Sister-in-law Tan, I know your thoughts, but Qiduo is right, let her have great ability, she is also your daughter. Parents will always be the highest mountain in the world in front of their children, and stop deprecating themselves. When Qiduo heard these words, she was really uncomfortable. Zheng Wanru also said.
Xu pursed his lips and nodded seriously, saying yes.
She also doesn't know when she has been accustomed to living humbly in front of people.
Then she touched Qiduo's black hair, sighed lightly, and said, "Duo, my mother has already had this thought, but your fourth uncle is stubborn, he has already said that if anyone is a matchmaker for him again, he will turn his face with whomever he wants." I...... I don't dare, I'm afraid he'll get angry. ”
"Mother, the fourth uncle should just be talking. If you really find a good Siniang for him. Where would he be angry? Qiduo held Xu's arm and sprinkled Jiao.
Xu shook his head. looked at Zheng Wanru and said to Qiduo, "Duo, if you don't believe it, ask your Aunt Shen." ”
"Qiduo, your mother is right, it was your fourth uncle who insisted on refusing, I remember that Grandma Hu at the foot of the back mountain wanted to be a matchmaker for him. As a result, he killed a chicken in Grandma Hu's house and told her to be nosy. Grandma Hu was really angry enough, and since then, no one has dared to match him anymore. Zheng Wanru said.
Most people in Tanjiazhuang know about this matter.
Seven flowers don't know, smacking the tongue.
The fourth uncle's behavior is too paranoid, saying that the media does not agree is, why do you want to kill other people's chickens, it's really ...... Alas!
She felt more and more sorry for Tan Sibao, a good person. How did it come to this?
"No, this can't just be settled. resolutely can't let the fourth uncle live alone. Qiduo said firmly.
"Qiduo, your fourth uncle is indeed a very good young man, but the events of the year hurt him too much, so that he can't untie that knot until now, this matter is in a hurry, take your time, good people have good rewards, I believe that one day, he will marry a good wife." Zheng Wanru said softly.
The Xu family also felt sorry for Tan Sibao.
Qiduo's eyes turned slightly, listening to her aunt's tone, she also knew what happened to the fourth uncle back then, that's good, otherwise some things are really hard to ask.
So she blinked her eyes and asked, "Mother, aunt, what happened to the fourth uncle back then, and his personality changed?" ”
Zheng Wanru looked at Xu's family, and it was a little difficult to speak.
Xu Shi smiled slightly and said, "Mrs. Shen, everything has happened, and there is nothing to say. It just so happens that Duoduo has a lot of ideas, so that she can tell her that maybe she can come up with a way to help the fourth uncle. ”
Seeing her say this, Zheng Wanru was relieved and nodded that it made sense.
So Xu told Qiduo what happened to Tan Debao.
When he was fifteen years old, he happened to be conscripted for military service, and since he was a child, he liked to dance with knives and guns, and took the initiative to serve in the military.
In the second year, there was a civil strife in the Daimyo Dynasty, and he was very happy, thinking that he would go to quell the chaos and achieve fame.
Who knew that his luck was not very good, just before he arrived at the battle, Tan Debao suddenly fell ill and contracted dysentery, not to mention going into battle to kill the enemy, even if self-protection is a problem, and at the same time, he is afraid of infecting others.
As a result, he was lost by the generals, and was injured when he encountered a chaotic party.
If he hadn't pretended to be dead, he would have lost his life a long time ago.
Later, he also deserved to die, but he happened to meet a kind person who saved him, and then returned home after several times.
Soon after returning home, a soldier from a neighboring village who was a soldier at the same time as him returned with military merits and was rewarded with land by the imperial court.
When this matter reached Tanjiazhuang, Zhao's eyes turned red, so he began to accuse and insult Tan Debao for not being angry, how could he not be as promising as others.
He was already depressed because he failed to go into battle to kill the enemy and serve the country, and the ugly and ugly scar on his face, he felt that everyone in the village was laughing at him, so he rarely went out, and he was very depressed.
Unexpectedly, as a mother, not only comforted him, but insulted him so much, so the fire in his heart was ignited in an instant, and he had a big quarrel with the Zhao family, and then ran to the Shixi River to prepare for suicide, he really had no face to live.
It just so happened that Shen Huairen was fishing by the river that day, and persuaded him to dispel the idea of suicide.
This is why he respects the Shen couple very much.
Since then, his temperament has changed greatly, he doesn't like to talk, he is silent, and he is completely cold to Zhao.
When he was nineteen years old, Mr. Tan asked someone to tell him about his family, but when he went on a blind date, the girl saw the scar on his face and was scared to cry on the spot.
Not only that, but the girl's family also scolded Tan Debao, saying that he was born so ugly, why did he come out to be scary, and asked him to compensate for the girl's losses or something, which made him very embarrassed at the time.
This incident hit him hard, and after that, he never went on a blind date again, and whoever wanted to mention the blind date, he would turn his face with whom.
So, the family affair dragged on like this.
After listening to Tan Debao's story, Qiduo's eyes were damp, and he scolded Zhao for not being worthy of being a person.
He suffered such a great grievance back then, if his family cared for him carefully after returning home, how could his temperament change greatly?
Just as she was about to say something, the carriage had stopped, and it had already arrived at the third pier in the county seat. (To be continued......)
