Chapter 111: Farewell to My Parents
Erlang packed up his things and went back to the old house to say goodbye to his parents. When Mrs. Zhang heard that Erlang was leaving home to go to the capital, she was very reluctant.
Da Lang also asked Erlang what he was going to do, but Erlang didn't dare to say that he was looking for business opportunities. First, I don't want to startle the snake, and secondly, I think that if I fail, I will come back to make jokes.
Erlang said with a smile: "Wang Jiang always wants to take me, and he will take me with him when he goes to the capital to do business." ”
Da Lang nodded, and then Li asked again: "This king is always Xiaohu's father, right?" I just saw that Xiaohu was not an ordinary person, it turned out that he had a powerful father. ”
Regarding Li's temperament, Erlang has never cared about it. Listening to Dong Xiaoman say something about her wanting to match Zhu'er and Xiaohu, she was also very disdainful.
Seeing that Erlang was silent, Li Shi hurried up and asked, "This time I came back from the capital, but will I give you an official position?" ”
Although Mr. Zhang doesn't understand the doorway here, he also knows that this man's affairs, especially those in the officialdom, cannot be mixed with women.
Hearing Li's brainless question, Old Man Zhang squinted his eyes and spit out a sentence: "Old family, you don't ask about men's things." ”
Li rarely heard his father-in-law reprimanding him, and this time he was so frightened that he quickly shut up. Da Lang also glanced at her viciously, with a look of disgust on his face, which made the Li family confused.
"Now that you're gone, who's going to take care of the family's affairs? My brother and sister still have to watch the child, won't she still open a shop? Liu Ruyi said while giving Da Lang a look.
Da Lang understood what Liu Ruyi meant, and lowered his head and remained silent. Liu Ruyi was angry, and secretly scolded Dalang in his heart for being useless.
"Oh yes. Erlang, your daughter-in-law. It's really a toss-up, a good woman, and the family wants to open a shop like a man. It's really not a worry-free person, I'm afraid that others won't know what she looks like. Mrs. Zhang was very dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law's appearance, and she hated Dong Xiaoman when she thought of Dong Xiaoman standing at the corner of the street.
"Business isn't going very well. She doesn't usually go to the shop to see it. Erlang was reluctant to say more.
"If the business is not good, it will be closed, and you really think you can make a lot of money? Who's still open the door to do business now? Whoever does it will pay, let me tell you that the third aunt of the old Wu family in the front yard also opened a tavern in the city. Last year's harvest was not good. Food is expensive to death. Hey, who has that spare money to eat and drink. The rent of that shop is so expensive that now even the pants have been compensated. Mrs. Zhang babbled about the experience she had heard, and asked Erlang to go back and close the shop quickly.
"Mother, look at what you said. The rent of the shop has been paid, and if you don't buy and sell, they won't pay it back to you. Da Lang gloated, as if he had seen his brother's family crying bitterly.
"I'll just say you. Really. If you give me the military salary when you come back, I will save it for you and don't let your daughter-in-law spend it wastefully. Can there still be today? You said that you are so good, what kind of capital do you still use to do things for people in the capital? Oh, it's a miserable life. Mrs. Zhang thought that Erlang had run out of the pile of dead people in the past two years, and finally picked up a life and had to go away again, so her heart was sour.
"Mother. I can't do nothing, I'm a big man. I have a shop at home to earn enough money to cover my daily expenses, and I have three children to support. Erlang's face was already black, and he was about to sit still and leave.
"I'll just say, what are you doing in the city? I want to see that it's not convenient for you, you can grow whatever you want to eat in this country," Mrs. Zhang was interrupted by Erlang before she finished speaking.
"I don't have a field now, what am I doing in the countryside?" Mrs. Zhang was speechless when she heard this, and glared at Da Lang fiercely and was silent.
"That's right, the second child can have the opportunity to go to the capital. This is a place that many people can't go to in their lifetime. When the second brother comes back, maybe he will be developed, and we can also get the light. Da Lang hummed and spoke, and when he heard Erlang say something about no field just now, his heart chuckled. I was afraid that Erlang would go back to the field, so I hurriedly said something to change the topic.
"It doesn't cost much to feed three children. It's the same if you get a job in the city. Why go so far. If something happens, the gains outweigh the losses. "Old Man Zhang is usually reluctant to get involved in his children's affairs, but he still has to talk about his opinions when it is critical.
"Which doesn't cost anything? Zhu'er is so old, my eldest brother and sister-in-law will pass her on to me, then I have to take care of her. I've got to get her a decent dowry, right? Otherwise, what do you want outsiders to say about me? Or does the eldest brother have a plan in his heart and want to pay for it? Erlang swept his eyes at the two sisters-in-law, Li turned his head and didn't speak, and Liu Ruyi stared at Dalang with a vigilant face.
"Although Huanhuan is a girl, she is my first child after all. I suffered when I was beaten, and I left a few days after I was born. I always feel sorry for her, and I have to give her a dowry, right? Erlang turned his head and sneered in his heart, he had already figured out the attitude of the long room, and he could be regarded as giving an explanation to his daughter-in-law.
"Jue'er, that's not to mention, this kid is naturally smart and naughty. If you can write, you have to read and write like the third brother since he was a child, and his father and mother know how much money he will get. If he is able to martial arts, it is better to find a master to teach him, and it will take a lot of thought. He doesn't have any ideas about raising children, these are what Dong Xiaoman says on weekdays.
"Oh, this looks like what your hypocritical daughter-in-law said." Mrs. Zhang crooked her face and spat with disdain: "Whose child is not a child?" I've fed a few of you, isn't this also a top job? ”
Mrs. Zhang pointed her fingers).
