Chapter 42 42 Single-mindedness
When the old man heard this, he stopped talking, and waved his hand to the eldest brother, meaning that he would continue to speak, but after what he had just interrupted, the courage that the eldest brother had gathered with great difficulty seemed to have disappeared again, if he was allowed to continue, the topic he just said seemed to be very difficult, seeing the appearance of the eldest brother, the old man was even more anxious, and the girl who had been sitting next to the eldest brother laughed at this time, big brother, do you already have a girl you like?
It's all family here, you don't have to be embarrassed, since you have it, you can say it, the girl has been encouraging on the side, hearing him say this, the eldest brother's face turned even redder, as if it was a freshly cooked prawn, and these people in the room are already from the past, seeing him like this is a bright eye, the old man laughed even more happily, and hurriedly asked The eldest son Is it your sister who said it is not true, do you really have a favorite girl?
Tell me which family this is, I'll call the shots for you, and we'll go to propose marriage when we turn around, and the father and their brothers on the side are also cheering up the eldest brother, the eldest brother is really embarrassed to laugh and say, I'm a one-sided idea now, and I don't know what the other party means, the old man said again, then you just say it, which girl is it, if you fall in love with her, what does she mean We can ask people, isn't this it?
You hurry up and say it, the old man kept urging on the side, because he now wants to know which family the daughter-in-law of the grandson of their head of the house is, in his concept, no matter how the other sons are out, and the one who can represent their family is always the eldest grandson, this is the rule for generations, here the eldest brother is still sitting very twisted, as if he is embarrassed to say the girl's name, and the fourth aunt, who has always been straightforward, suddenly said, is it the girl from the neighboring village?
Which girl is it?
The old man asked suspiciously, and the fourth aunt pouted and said, Who else could there be?
It's the daughter of the former school gentleman in the neighboring village, the daughter of that gentleman?
The old man seemed to be there searching for things related to the girl in his mind, and the fourth aunt continued, that gentleman was also a person who had been tested for half his life, but he was not admitted, and then he was responsible for teaching in the school opened by the rich man in the neighboring village, married a wife and gave birth to a son and a daughter, I heard that the daughter of their family has also studied in the school since she was a child, and her fingers are not touched by the spring water, and when she looks for her in-law's house, it is not high or low, but now she has become an old girl, he is actually a very good person, and he is practical and steady, definitely not as both hands say, The eldest brother raised his head bravely this time, interrupted the words of the fourth aunt, the fourth aunt was stunned, and continued, that girl has never done any farm work since she was a child, and his father has always raised him as a lady, but it is not like our rural daughters are strong, the eldest brother frowned slightly and said, women are not slaves, it is not that who is born will do work, in fact, women can also be elegant, knowledgeable, hearing this, the fourth aunt laughed, since this is the case, even if all my previous words are wrong, but that girl is now almost 20 years old, and she has not found her in-law's family,I will never be wrong about this,This time it's the eldest brother's turn to be speechless,Whether it's in the countryside or in the city,Whether it's a rich family or an ordinary farmer's family,The girl began to look for her in-law at the age of 14,After two years,You can have children for your husband's family to inherit the lineage,This woman has not yet found her in-law at her age,It's true that it's not young.,But he can't help himself.,Because the family has suffered a big change.,So he will helplessly stay until now.,He has his own hardships.,The eldest brother continued there.,Seeing his red-faced appearance,The fourth aunt covered her mouth and laughed secretly, The girl glared at the fourth aunt fiercely, what people pursue is different, as long as the eldest brother likes it, as an outsider, there is no need to talk about the east and west here, especially the fourth aunt, you are unceremonious, to make the fourth aunt very ashamed, what are you talking about, this little boy is going to call me the fourth aunt, I am also his elder, how can I say a few words about his marriage, the fourth aunt kept arguing there, but the girl sneered, looking at the old man and the old woman sitting on the side, as the eldest elder of our family, grandpa and grandma have not yet expressed their position, but what do you mean by being chirping here all the time, auntie?
And as the eldest aunt of the head mother-in-law hasn't said anything, why is it your turn to be the fourth aunt, where are you going to rest, hearing this, the fourth aunt rolled her eyes angrily, and wanted to say a few more words to the girl, but she was drunk by the old woman, this girl is right, the fourth daughter-in-law, you hurry up and stay out of the way, if you hear you talking nonsense there, you get out of here, the fourth aunt retorted to the old woman and said, mother, why do you also follow the girl to bully me with a junior like her?
This is too unreasonable, and then the old man laughed when he heard her say this, and looked in the direction of the fourth aunt with his eyes, although she couldn't see anything, but he still said, as the eldest grandson of our family, his marriage must be cautious, how can you allow a person with bad conduct like you to talk nonsense here, you quickly shut up for me, hearing this, the fourth aunt was even more angry, where am I misbehaving, the old woman sneered and said, How did your son come from?
Do you want me to go on?
Hearing this, the arrogance of the fourth aunt suddenly withered, and then the old woman continued, if it weren't for the fact that you were making trouble here, maybe the boss could live a few more years, a good man was actually harmed by you, you are a broom star, and now the New Year is about to begin, these juniors are there, although the second daughter-in-law died, the old woman is not in her heart, but every time he thinks of the eldest son buried in the ancestral grave, his heart is very sad, and now hearing the words of the fourth daughter-in-law touched the old woman's mind, so the anger in his heart is vented regardless of itAs soon as he said this, these people present were very embarrassed, everyone knew very well what was going on, but this fig leaf really couldn't be easily lifted, the old man knocked on the table with a cigarette stick, and roared at the old woman and said, what you say is really more and more outrageous, don't say it anymore, after hearing the old man's scolding, the old woman has realized that what she said today is indeed a bit much, so she snorted coldly and turned her head, and here the fourth aunt was also glared at by the old man and warned him repeatedly, the frightened fourth aunt kept retreating, found an excuse to hold the child and ran out in embarrassment, So the old man's eyes fell on the eldest brother again, and the expression on his face became very kind, the eldest son, you come to tell grandpa, which point do you like about the girl, the eldest brother only came back to his senses at this time, hearing the old man ask, his face was involuntarily a trace of shyness, seeing his expression, these people around him have already understood as long as they are married, he must have moved his real character this time, probably said that if I want to say it, I can't say what I like about him, I just think that he is a very good person, and unlike these women in the village, he is also knowledgeable, and literacy, after her father died, he still stayed at home to help her mother take care of the family's affairs, if you have free time to read, not like those women who talk nonsense, when I am with him, I feel 10 points of tranquility and comfort, he said while pointing to his chest, after he said this, everyone was quiet, eyes were staring at him, seeing that everyone was very stunned, after a while the girl slapped her face, the strings of brilliance flowing in her eyes, big brother, you really deserve to be a reader, Even the feeling of the girl in the photo is so fascinating, you are really too talented, I have begun to revel when I listen to it here, hearing him say this, the eldest brother's face turned red again, and he glanced at the girl and showed a very shy smile, sister, you have won the award, I just said my feelings, I don't understand what this feeling is, but I know that if I find a woman to live with, then only him, although his tone is faint, but it reveals an undoubted firmness, the girl hears this for the big brother feels even better, As a nerd, he was able to dare to love and hate, and dare to admit his inner feelings, he used to be pedantic, in fact, now it seems that his heart is also 10 points bright, and delicate, under the wrapping of the light and breezy appearance, there is a warm heart, after saying all this, the eldest brother's expectant eyes looked at the old man sitting on it, grandpa also hopes that you can fulfill me, let me marry her as my wife, the old man is very pleased, I can't think that my grandson has finally grown up, and I know that I want to marry a wife, this is really good, but we can't rush this matterThe eldest brother interrupted the old man's words and said, his father died a year ago, and now only his mother is left to live with their sister and brother, he will be 20 years old after the New Year, and the younger brother is also studying in our school, and the family also has some land, because the old and young in the family are not used to doing these farm work, so they rented the land to the people in the village, and lived by collecting some rent every year, he stayed at home to help his mother plant a garden, and the family raised chickens and pigs, and after these poultry were sold, The money he got was used as tuition for his younger brother to study in the school, hearing that everyone looked at each other here, it turned out that the eldest brother was usually silent, and he didn't look at any woman, but if it was for the girl he liked, he really put a lot of effort into it, and even inquired about all the details of the people, it was really interesting, the fourth uncle laughed directly, gave a thumbs up to the eldest brother and said, eldest nephew, you are really good, inherited the ability of my youth, the eldest brother smiled very shyly, the fifth uncle dismantled the stage there and said, fourth brother, you are really wrong now, When you were young, you were specialized in messing with flowers and grass, provoking these women everywhere, but you refused to be single-minded, the size is completely different, since she recognized this woman is willing to work her, he is the same as me, isn't it?
