Chapter 369: Brother and Sister Quarrel
Jiro touched his head and smiled, but his appearance changed in an instant. He rushed forward with a grin, pulled Dong Xiaoman closer to his arms, hooked Dong Xiaoman's chin with his left hand, and teased: "Little lady, come with me tonight!" ”
Dong Xiaoman's speechless elbow hit Erlang's chest, and Erlang, who was in pain, let go of his hand immediately. Looking at the wife who was trotting a few steps forward, he grinned and said, "You are going to murder your husband!" ”
"What? You're not going back? "Erlang didn't expect Xiaohu to go home for the New Year, so why don't you want to stay here?
"Even if I walk 300 miles a day, it will take me 10 days to get home. I can't catch up, so what am I doing in a hurry? Xiaohu crossed Erlang's legs, held a soup bowl and followed Jue'er to snore and eat hot noodle soup.
"Didn't you just finish eating? What are you robbing me of! "Jue'er had just arrived in Pingliang City, and as soon as he found Xiaoyaoju, he saw his father and his mother flirting there.
Dong Xiaoman blushed and watched his son eat noodles, happy on his face, not to mention how embarrassed he was. Just now she was messing with Erlang, and when Erlang was laughing at the fact that he was going to murder her husband, this little guy came out.
Immediately afterwards, Xiaohu laughed at himself again, and then now the two foodies are eating hot noodle soup in a big gulp.
The opening is the opening, and there will definitely be no customers before this year. But since it has opened, it will not let everyone be idle, go to work as usual, and have a holiday for thirty children. In Xi'er's words, there is nothing to do, and you have to spend some money before the year.
The family returned to Xiaoyao Valley, and the appearance of Xiaohu and Jue'er made the calm valley noisy.
But don't talk about Xiaohu, let's just say that Jue'er is already famous. Study in the rumored academy. Let these ordinary people be out of reach.
Plus a fair face and picturesque eyebrows. A beautiful boy in the wind in Yushu. It is very different from the tough and rugged Northwest man. Especially after studying for many years, he has a strong bookish atmosphere, which is different from that of ordinary men.
From the day he returned to the Valley of Freedom, the square of the Valley has not stopped the girls who came to try to meet by chance.
Or Jue'er walked out of the cave and walked around the valley, and there was always an aunt pointing over there.
The meat that was killed by the pigs a few years ago was counted by the head of each household. Where each person has two catties of fat, two catties of lean meat, and two catties of lean meat, even fat and thin, similar to pork belly, a number of places are randomly distributed in the water.
If you feel that these are not enough for the New Year, you can buy some pork from Ah Yao. The price is also slightly cheaper than the market, after all, it is to be reserved for the inn, and it cannot all be sold according to the cost.
Most of the people in this valley moved here with large families. Just like Tian Qi and Ayao. Even the children and the elderly are more than a dozen people, and everyone will make the meat shared together into a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, which is not only hearty, but also has a lot left.
So there aren't many people who can buy meat, and they don't really need it. Dong Xiaoman asked everyone to plant cabbage after the autumn harvest, and made cabbage radishes into all kinds of small pickles, which are enough to eat on weekdays.
But some people don't think so, such as Tian Hachi's daughter-in-law who doesn't let people live in peace every day. On the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, she gave A Yao and his wife a step down in front of the whole family.
Old man Tian and old lady Tian looked at the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with a large table, and they admired vigorously, they had never eaten such a rich Chinese New Year's Eve meal after living for most of their lives.
Then the old couple praised Tian Qi and Ayao for being capable, the lucky stars of the family, and without them, there would be no good life for these brothers.
Tian Ba's daughter-in-law really couldn't listen to it anymore. opened his mouth and sneered: "The seventh brother and seventh sister-in-law are really powerful, and they make so much money in a month, not to mention filial piety to their fathers and mothers, and give these nephews more money for the New Year." It stands to reason that our family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is like this. It's all fish from the grain, why don't you say buy more? After eating this little thing, there will be no more, and you let your father and mother eat salted radish after thirty? It can be seen that people, don't be too rich, the richer you are, the more you pick! ”
Tian Ba opened his mouth to reprimand his daughter-in-law, and Ah Yao looked around, and sure enough, she saw a few concubines with a look of disgrief on their faces.
Tian Qi's face was flushed, and none of the brothers spoke.
Old Man Tian coughed lightly and said, "Ah Yao, don't take it to heart, you are doing well now, help your brother more in the future." ”
Ah Yao is a hot temper, but she also knows that the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is a time of reunion, and she is not allowed to lose her temper.
I wanted to settle the matter, but unexpectedly, the sister-in-law said again: "Brother and sister, after the New Year, do you see if you can tell the valley master, let's all go out to work?" ”
Mrs. Tian's eyes lit up and she immediately spoke: "Yes, yes, I heard that you can make money as a steward." You are all in charge, and your family will be rich in the future. ”
Tian Qi said with a bitter face: "Mother, what is this what we are talking about?" ”
Old Man Tian slammed the chopsticks on the table with a snap, and Tian Qi was stunned and thought that his father was going to scold him.
Who would have thought that Old Man Tian was scolding other people: "You don't look at your own virtues, how capable do you think the old seven and the two are capable?" ”
Seeing the faces of several daughters-in-law, he then spoke: "Back then, the two of them ran to Pingliang City to carry a big bag because their families were poor and couldn't eat, this is called ability?" It was the valley lord's wife who saw that they really gave this kindness, do you think you all have this talent? If you all want to climb high, it's good that you can settle down here. ”
The old man's words made several men present have an epiphany, and they all raised their wine glasses and apologized to Ah Yao and Tian Qidao.
Tian Hachi's daughter-in-law had a pale face, looking at their happy family. couldn't help but speak: "We really don't have that ability, but the seventh brother and seventh sister-in-law have great ability, and we didn't see a few more meat dishes on the table." ”
Ah Yao was originally very depressed, but when she heard this, she couldn't help but laugh. smiled at the mother-in-law who was about to reprimand: "Mother, this is my brother and sister." ”
After speaking, he stretched out his hand and patted Tian Ba's daughter-in-law's back, with a doting expression: "It's my sister-in-law who didn't buy you candy to eat, it's my sister-in-law's fault." It's like when you didn't give the children a greeting when you entered the door, hehe. It was my sister-in-law who was negligent. ”
Inadvertently brought up Tahachi's troubles. She was ashamed to speak no longer.
Compared with the troubled Tian family. This time, the Zhang family can finally have a reunion dinner together.
Wei'er did not leave her mother's side at the youngest, although she suffered some hardships in Liaodong with her mother, but her mother still took good care of him. So Wei'er just felt that the eldest brother, eldest sister and father had finally returned to her side, infinitely happy.
Jue'er spent the New Year in Dong's house, although she gave birth to a belly in the long house, it didn't have much impact. The most miserable thing is Huanhuan, so on this day, Dong Xiaoman and his wife sighed when they thought about it. I always feel that my daughter has been growing up since she was a child, and she has always suffered the most hardships and misfortunes among the three children.
Xiaohu has the meaning of outsiders at all, and the two of them are stupid and stupid with Wei'er. Huanhuan had eaten the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, led a few small followers to carry lanterns and ran to the valley to find Shen Man to set off fireworks.
In the middle of the valley square. Jiro ordered the crowd to set off fireworks, and it is said that this fireworks feast cost sixty taels of silver. Erlang is celebrating their family of five in this way, a rare reunion.
Huanhuan and Shen Man could see the fireworks in the sky in their yard, and they didn't mean to go there to see the excitement at all. Instead, he held the stove in his hand, and occasionally covered his ears to watch Santan scatter fireworks on the ground.
The maids laughed and laughed, Santan walked to Shen Man's side with a smile, and stretched out his hand to look at it: "Why don't you help me cover it?" ”
Shen Man said angrily and embarrassedly: "Who let you not even wear gloves." ”
Saying this, he still handed over the stove in his hand, Santan looked at the left and right, and there were no elders on the left and right, and reached out and pinched Shen Man's face.
All this made Huanhuan look at it in his eyes, raise his eyes and look at the fireworks in the sky, and feel indescribably sad in his heart.
Watching the two of them together sweetly. Huanhuan whispered to the maid next to him and left quietly. Passing through the square, I saw a lively and frolicking crowd, and Huanhuan silently bypassed behind the crowd.
Xiaohu inadvertently saw Huanhuan with a lonely face, walking alone on the steps. I rushed forward without thinking about it.
rushed to Huanhuan's side in three steps and two steps, and said casually: "Why don't you look at it?" Are you too sleepy and want to go to sleep? ”
Huan Huan smiled and said, "I think it's too noisy!" ”
Xiaohu looked at Huanhuan's thin back, and couldn't help but speak: "Are you still waiting for him?" ”
Huan Huan suddenly turned his head and looked at Xiaohu in surprise, and a feeling of uneasiness arose: "Do you know what you said?" ”
Xiaohu stood in the courtyard of the back mountain, with a sad expression: "Give up, sister, you don't have to wait any longer." The two of you have no future, and even if you are together, you will not be happy. ”
Huan Huan struck back: "Aren't you the same as Zhu'er, do you regret it?" ”
Xiaohu didn't look over: "We are different from you, I can convince my elders that I am the real head of the Wang family." But is he? Will people like them accept you? Would you like to see him hugging his three wives and four concubines left and right? ”
"Did he look for you?" The sensitive Huanhuan is aware of this problem.
"He approached me and asked for your address, and he wanted to be able to correspond to you." Xiaohu's answer was cheerful, and it seemed that Xiaohu did not give him the address.
"Why are you interfering in my life? This is my marriage, why are you? Huanhuan yelled, she couldn't understand why the brother in front of her wanted to interfere with them.
"That's because I can't watch you jump into the fire pit!" Xiaohu yelled angrily, he didn't know Zhu'er's intentions before he talked about it, but now it is clear at a glance.
"You!" Tears of joy burst out of his eyes in an instant, and he stubbornly didn't let the tears fall.
"You better take care of your own business, your own family affairs are a mess and you have to take care of other people's messes!" After saying it negatively, Huanhuan immediately regretted it. These words are really hurtful, she looked at Xiaohu with some apologies.
Xiaohu looked indifferent, and said coldly: "Don't waste time on him, he may be a good match for you emotionally, but marriage is not child's play, and feelings can't be eaten." This is my own personal experience, so do it yourself. (To be continued......)
