Chapter 67: My sister is here
The neighbors didn't expect Han Si to "soar to the top" and still miss them, and they also brought their new daughter-in-law back to set up wine.
There are many neighbors to invite, but the paper figure shop is very small. There was no room in the house, so I could only put the seven borrowed Eight Immortal Tables outside.
Qin'er had never been to this eerie place, and she was a little scared, but if she stayed outside, she would be watched by the neighbors just now, and she felt embarrassed, so she could only walk into the paper shop, go upstairs and hide in the attic where Han Xiufeng had lived for many years, and pushed the window open a crack to peek down.
Han Xiufeng wanted to greet the neighbors, but he really couldn't take care of her.
Fortunately, Aunt Guan came in time and went upstairs to talk to her.
The two of them talked about the interesting story of Han Xiufeng when he first entered the city, time passed quickly, and before they knew it, it was dark.
Aunt Guan was a little hungry and was about to go down to get something to eat, when there was a sudden commotion at the entrance of the alley. She pushed open the window and looked at it, and couldn't help laughing: "Qin'er, the pillar is back!" ”
It is said that ugly daughters-in-law are afraid of seeing their in-laws, but in fact, handsome daughters-in-law are also afraid of seeing their in-laws. Thinking that Zhu Ziniang had returned from the horse and that her father-in-law and mother-in-law should also come, Qin'er was a little nervous, so she leaned to the window and asked, "Where is it?" ”
"The one in front of me who couldn't close his mouth was ......" The more Aunt Guan looked at it, the more wrong it became, and exclaimed: "Huh! Why haven't I seen the fourth baby's father and his mother, who is the girl behind the pillar mother, I have never seen it! Qin'er, do you recognize it? ”
Qin'er looked at it, only to see a country girl with her hair combed in a bun, wearing a cloth dress, bowing her head and shyly, carrying a flower cloth package and following behind a woman shyly, and a thirty-five or sixteen-year-old country man, carrying two baskets and looking around while walking, patronizing and watching the excitement without looking at the feet and almost tripping.
"I don't recognize either."
"I know who it is!" Aunt Guan looked at Zhu Ziniang's eyebrows and couldn't help laughing: "I knew that she wouldn't go in vain, but I didn't expect her to be so shrewd that she would turn her daughter-in-law back who didn't pass the door." ”
"Auntie, what the hell are you talking about?" Qin'er asked curiously.
"You can't be wrong, that girl is Han Yucai's third daughter, and she is the cousin of your fourth child. Han Yucai is dead, and the four sons of your family have the final say in the affairs of the Han family, so they will make the decision and give the younger sister to the pillar. It's just that today's Zhu Ziniang is too ridiculous, and she is not afraid of other people's jokes when she brings her sister back. ”
Qin'er thought to herself that it was Han Si's cousin, the first real Han family she had seen since she married into the Han family, and she couldn't help but take a few more looks.
Sure enough, the pillar was about to burst into laughter, scolding the neighbors who were making fun of him, and busily leading his mother and the village girl into the paper figure shop. Han Xiufeng looked surprised, and pulled aside the man who had just put down his basket, not knowing what he was asking.
"Mother, sister, the bride is upstairs, and Aunt Guan is also there."
"Okay, I'll go up and take a look."
Aunt Guan had never seen such a funny thing, so she walked to the door and looked at the pillar mother who was climbing upstairs and asked, "Sister-in-law, what are you making trouble about?" Don't rush up, let's make it clear first, is it the four babies who are setting up the wine today, or is your family setting the wine? ”
"It's the same, the four babies I watched grow up, the same as my self-sufficient baby, he is no different from my family's wine." Zhu Ziniang grinned, turned around and said, "Sister, hurry up and call someone, this is your Aunt Guan." ”
My sister entered the city for the first time, and it was her mother-in-law's house, she was nervous and shy, and hesitated for a long time before she said timidly: "Aunt Guan." ”
"My sister, I used to hear your father mention you, and today is the first time I'll see you, come on, come on, hurry up, see your sister-in-law first." Aunt Guan knew that the younger sister was timid at a glance, so she ran over and hugged the younger sister's arm, and enthusiastically pulled the younger sister into the attic.
Seeing Qin'er, Zhuziniang was very happy, and actually turned over the cabinet to find two jade bracelets, one for Qin'er, and one for the younger sister, which made the two of them embarrassed. Facing Qin'er, who looked like a fairy, the younger sister was nervous and a little ashamed of herself, standing aside and not daring to squeak.
"Sister, don't be afraid, sit next to your mother." Compared with Qin'er, Zhuziniang loved her daughter-in-law more, pulled her sister to sit beside her, and said happily: "Qin'er, didn't the fourth baby and his uncle just leave, and the younger sister has to keep filial piety at home, and she won't go out." I heard the messenger say that you want to get married, but there are only two people in her family, she and her mother, and she has to have one, and she was brought by me. ”
"Yes, is it a good way to walk, are you tired?"
The sister-in-law asked, it was not good not to reply, and the younger sister peeked at the pillar mother and said in a mosquito-like voice: "Good to go, not tired." ”
"I said, why did my sister come like this, since she came, she would stay for a few more days." Aunt Guan took over the conversation, turned around and asked, "Sister-in-law, why didn't the father and mother of the fourth baby come?" ”
This matter has to be explained clearly, Zhu Ziniang took Qin'er's hand and said with a bitter face: "Qin'er, listen to me, your marriage is such a big event, and the fourth baby's father and his mother should come according to reason." But they are honest, they have never been in the city, and they have been farming at home all these years. I heard that your father was on an errand in the government, and they were a little afraid, afraid of both your father and the four children. ”
Confirming that her father-in-law and mother-in-law did not come, Qin'er was not only not unhappy but relieved, and hurriedly said, "What is there to be afraid of." ”
"People in the countryside are like this," Zhu Ziniang patted her hand, and continued: "But Han Da is here, and he is the eldest brother of the four children." They knew that you were married, and they also knew that the four children were about to go to the capital, and there was nothing to give at home, so they picked two baskets of sea peppers (chili peppers), all of which were freshly dried, enough for you to eat for a while. ”
When his son became married, Lao Tzu gave this little thing, which is really unreasonable.
Aunt Guan was afraid that Qin'er would be unhappy, so she hurriedly said: "Vegetables are used as three points of food, and sea peppers are used as clothes!" Sea pepper is a good thing, especially the sea pepper in Zoumagang, the four babies have brought it to my family before, and it is spicy and fragrant to stir-fry! ”
Qin'er knew that the Han family was poor, how could she take this to heart, and was about to echo a few words, when Zhu Ziniang suddenly said: "Qin'er, I heard that your father bought you a home in the city?" ”
"Well, it's not far from my house." Qin'er nodded.
On the way back, Zhu Ziniang pondered about this, looked back at her sister, then looked at Aunt Guan, and then took Qin'er's hand and said: "This dowry is incredible, and it is really a blessing for the fourth child to marry you." It's just that he is going to the capital as soon as he gets married, and he doesn't know when he will come back, and it's not a matter to leave you home alone! ”
Aunt Guan thought to herself that she really didn't open which pot to mention, and she didn't know how to persuade Qin'er, but Zhu Ziniang seemed to suddenly remember something, and actually smiled again: "Qin'er, in fact, this thing is easy to do." ”
"What's so easy to do?" Qin'er asked puzzled.
"Don't you have a house for your own children, just let my sister not go back, stay in the city, and move over to be your companion! The four babies go to the capital, you are alone at home, it is inevitable that someone will chew your tongue, and after a long time, you will be chewed out by those who love to play with right and wrong. If you have a sister to accompany you, it will be different if your sister-in-law lives together, who dares to chew her tongue, who dares to gossip! ”
