Chapter 33: Go Your Own Way

The uncle said impatiently: "Mom! What are you talking about, what's wrong with my conditions, no matter how bad I am, I'm also a scholar, and I will be assigned to the factory in the future! What's not as good as others, how can you look down on your own people! ”

Aunt Magpie hurriedly said: "It makes sense, Da Jiang is good and has also read books, and the other party is very happy to hear it." That's why I was anxious to meet. ”

Grandma hurriedly asked me to pour a bowl of sugar water for her to drink, which was the best hospitality at that time. When my uncle saw it, he also made a bowl for himself and drank it in a big gulp. Grandpa glared at him several times, but his uncle didn't react. Grandpa simply went out by himself angrily and made two bowls for me and my mother. The uncle didn't dare to say anything, but his eyes were staring at the two bowls.

My mother and I didn't plan to drink it at all, so we put it aside, and my uncle breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Magpie drank a few sips of sugar water unhurriedly, and then explained the woman's conditions in detail: "Her father is a bureau chief, her mother is a middle school teacher, and she has two houses in the city, one for her daughter's marriage. More than 80 square meters, the furniture and electrical appliances inside are complete! There's also gas, and I've heard that you can take a bath! ”

"So good?" Everyone but me gasped.

"No, the girl is twenty-six years old this year, and she is also in a hurry to find someone to marry. Although she is a few years older than Da Jiang, as the saying goes, a female junior holding a gold brick will definitely live a prosperous life! ”

"But the ...... of this condition" Grandma glanced at her uncle cautiously before saying, "Why hasn't she been looking for a partner?" ”

The magpie laughed, "Well...... I won't hide it from you, this child was accidentally injured in one eye when he was a child, but he wasn't blind, he was just a little weak, and he didn't speak very clearly, and his speech was not very clear. ”

Several people nodded together, no wonder.

My heart said, what a stop! Not only is this problem, but the most serious thing is that this woman's brain is not clear, and her IQ is basically the same as that of a ten-year-old child.

This is what we only knew in our previous life until the wedding day, grandma cried at the time, feeling ashamed, anyway, my uncle also went to school, and he didn't look bad, how could he find such a thing, it's not a joke!

But my uncle was very happy, otherwise he wouldn't have kept it a secret. He said: "People come from a good family, if it weren't for a little flawed, how could they take a fancy to me?" Leave it alone. ”

After the uncle and the woman got married, the whole person belonged to the mother-in-law's mother-in-law's family, and he was good at studying, and with the help of the power of his father-in-law's family, he rose to the position little by little. He and his wife have never had children. Later, when he was promoted, he completely cut off our contact, and I don't know if the two of us have been like this all the time.

But I think that my uncle's purpose is not pure, and when my father-in-law has no use value, the relationship between husband and wife is probably going to end.

When I was thinking about this, Aunt Magpie had already said the other party's conditions: "They don't have any requirements for their son-in-law, they don't have to be too high, and it doesn't matter if they are poor, but they must be smart and sensible, and in addition, they hope to live together in their parents' house after marriage." ”

Grandma hurriedly said: "Isn't this just an inverted door?" How can it work? "Unless you are poor in the village, there is no one who wants to intervene in the door. Grandpa's family is not very bad, and of course he will not be happy when he encounters such a thing.

Without waiting for the magpie to speak, the uncle preemptively said: "What's wrong with the door, what throne does our family have to inherit?" The conditions of the people are not good, why not go to live? ”

Grandpa slapped the table: "Bastard!" Is this how I usually teach you? With benefits, it's shameless? Although our family is not rich, but it is also middle-class in the village, you look down on your own family so much? Go to the inverted door? ”

The magpie hurriedly said: "It's not upside down, in the future, if you give birth to a son, it will be with your Li family's surname!" In fact, people do this for your own good, in the future, when your son-in-law works in the city, can you still go back to the village every day? It also saves you from buying a house in the city. ”

The uncle hurriedly said, "Not really! Don't think of other people's good intentions. I think it's pretty good. ”

Grandma didn't speak, lowered her head and pointed to draw circles on the kang.

The magpie smiled and said: "Then you can discuss it, if it works, you can go to my community tomorrow to have a look, you know the address, I just said." She looked at her uncle.

The uncle hurriedly agreed, and several people sent the magpie out together.

After returning to the house, the smiles on the faces of grandma and grandpa disappeared completely.

"Do you look at the good conditions of other people, so low?"

Uncle sat there irritably: "Why am I so low?" ”

Grandpa said: "I don't agree, why do you want to be with such a girl as a healthy person?" Is there less food for you in our house, or less for you to drink? ”

"People have to say! In the future, I will be placed in the Education Bureau! Do you have what it takes to get me a good job? That's all there is to it! ”

"You're just looking for a cripple to live with for your job and your future?"

"It's better to find a cripple than a poor girl! Anyway, if you don't help me, forget it, don't stop me! ”

"Okay, you can do it, I don't care! It's like feeding you for nothing! Grandpa sat down with his heart in his hands, his face blue with anger.

Grandma sat on the side and wiped her tears, her expression was very aggrieved, but she never dared to say a word.

There was such a disturbance at home, and we couldn't stay any longer, so my mother and I looked at each other, and then we stood up together and said goodbye.

"Mom, you can rest, Nizi and I will go back first."

"What's the hurry! Since you're here, let's have lunch together, let's get something delicious, the goose that was killed the day before yesterday is now freezing outside! I'll bring it in, let's eat goose stewed potatoes at noon! Grandma hurriedly stood up.

The uncle sneered and said, "See, that's how it will be after I find a poor girl." You also want me to take my daughter-in-law to eat cheekily everywhere every day? ”

"That's your sister! What do you say? ”

I frowned and looked at my uncle, who was even more excessive than in his previous life.

Mom said hurriedly; "Don't be busy, Nizi and I are going back."

"It's alright! Remember, no matter what time it is, this is your home! You don't have to get it like an outsider. Grandpa said.

Mom smiled: "Nizi and I ate late in the morning, and now we are not hungry, and we still want to wander around, so you can have a good New Year." ”

Uncle said coldly: "You are interested!" It's not okay to eat and drink for nothing. ”

Mom didn't hear it, and pulled me out.

I went outside the window and shouted: "Uncle, we didn't come for nothing, we brought pheasants, and several bottles of canned food and pine nuts, I'm afraid you will say more, we don't eat at home, I know you look down on us, but we are here to see grandma, what does it have to do with you?" As for you, the nose is not the nose, and the eyes are not eyes? ”

"What do you say? You owe it, don't you? "Uncle said that he was about to rush out of it, but he was stopped by his grandfather." How can there be such a thing as you! I can't even tolerate my sister and niece, what do you want to develop in the future? ”

Grandma can only persuade over there in embarrassment.

I grabbed my mother and walked away quickly, not to get involved in these things, since I couldn't control it, I could only let my mood not be affected.

On the way back, no matter how much I tried to make my mother happy, she always refused to smile and kept looking preoccupied.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

"Nizi, my mother sometimes thinks that she is quite useless, some widows with four or five children can support well, but I only have one daughter, and you have been wronged," she said, choking up.

I said, "Mom, it's not your fault, because the uncle's family has been cheating on us, robbing us of all our fields, and there is no pay for the work at most. As for grandma's side, Mom, you don't care about me. ”

"But why did your uncle choose such a woman..."

"Everyone has their own choices, we are all bystanders. What he wants is only known to him, how do you know that people will not be happy? We are outsiders, and grandpa can't control it, let alone us. ”

Mom thought about it and nodded, "Okay, I know." Nizi, I listen to you! I'm just worried that your uncle is gone, and grandpa has no one to take care of at all! She sighed.

"We will have money in the future, and we will take good care of our grandparents, so we have to be hard to strike iron. We don't have any money, we don't have the strength to speak, and my uncle won't listen to you, so let's make some money! I said with a smile.

Mom listened to my words, and thought about it, and the two of us went home and simply made something to eat, which was much better than eating at my uncle's house.

In the next few days, we were quite calm and relaxed, and I didn't use needlework in the first month, so I put some garlic in a pot to raise garlic seedlings. Anyway, there are no dishes to eat before the beginning of spring, so you can also adjust some garlic sprouts.

Ignoring my mother's objections, I went into the mountains again, and this time I caught two pheasants, which were very fat, and on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, I entered the town, because it was a full year, so I sold them for five yuan very quickly. After deducting the money for the carriage, nine dollars were in hand. I thought about the more and more money in my hand, and I couldn't help but laugh.

The sixth day of the first month is the day when Zheng Sisi and Liao Qiang got engaged, and when I returned to the village, I heard many people talking about what to send, Zheng Sisi is the daughter of the village chief, no matter what, I have to send something more.

I went home and ate the gnocchi soup my mother had made, and I told her, "Send me some eggs." ”

"There are not a few eggs at home, and I still want to make up for you, so let's send money, and it's almost like five yuan for an engagement. When the time comes, you can send it over and say hello to her. ”
