When Li Hu and Dog Chestnut arrived home, it was the big mule and the horse that brought back a cartload of money, and the whole village was in a sensation. They thought that Li Hu had gone back to their hometown, and his ancestors had left property, or they had met rich relatives in the door, so they brought back mules, horses and money, and they said that what they earned was difficult to accept, and they kept questioning with jealousy.

The family wanted to invite everyone to dinner, and Yan'er's mother took Li Hu to borrow food.

A yard of young and old, all in the courtyard of listening to the dog chestnut crossed Erlang's legs, and sitting on the bench spitting stars. Yan'er's sister-in-law came out to entertain them and sent some peanuts to some elders, and the girls and aunts who were watching the excitement in the outer circle rushed to her and asked Yan'er, why didn't she come out.

These words turned a corner, they thought in their hearts that Yan'er should be arrogant, but it was equivalent to asking, what are they doing now, although they said bluntly when they chewed their tongues behind their backs - Yang Yanyan's family picked up a teenager, and he had to become a son-in-law, and today I saw them going out together, one after the other was so good, but it was subtle in person, after all, Yan'er is a yellow flower girl, and she doesn't hide her words, isn't it a slap in the face?

Where else could Yan'er be?

Hiding in the firewood room and burning the fire, no matter how many women from the same village went to look for her, they couldn't pull it out, and only said, "Cook rice, cook rice."

Yan'er's sister-in-law knew that Li Hu turned around and pulled back a pile of money, and the people themselves were fine, but they were ashamed of her, she was afraid that the village would chase her and praise her.

She returned to the firewood room and glanced at her sister-in-law with concern.

Yan Yan saw that there was no one, so she took out a hairpin and shook it in front of her sister-in-law, showing off and saying, "Look, it's good-looking." ”

Yan'er's sister-in-law smiled: "It's good-looking." It's not that Li Hu didn't give it to your mother, you light it up, light it up and show us it, what are you doing. ”

Yan'er pursed her lips, opened her two eyes wide, slanted her eyes and said, "What's wrong." It's just joy. ”

After a while, she said again: "Li Hu looks stupid. Actually, it's not really stupid. If the dog chestnut goes out alone, he may be abducted by someone to be whipped to plough the field in which manor now. It's a cart of money. It's not dawn yet, what do I say, pulling it out is consistent money, pulling it out is consistent money, I'm stupid there, my mother was frightened, and she opened her mouth to say: You two steal people or rob people's houses. Dog chestnut said that it was earned, my mother still can't relieve herself, and she scolded them, how can he do it. What the hell did you give birth to? ”

Yan'er's sister-in-law wanted to say something, but she couldn't help but say nothing.

After a while, she asked softly, "You like Li Hu in your heart, right?" ”

Yan'er said angrily: "I don't like it." Sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense. Pick it up and take it home, and see him pitiful...... It's hard to ignore him, you say, right? ”

Yan'er's sister-in-law said again: "The winter solstice is coming soon, and your brother wants to go to sea again while the sea is not frozen, and he can't be contacted." Your uncle's eldest brother wants to come back first, he is the eldest son of the long house, he loves to call the shots in everything, but he is not your own brother, if he comes back, what if he doesn't want you to do anything with Li Hu? ”

Yan'er said cheerfully: "If you don't want to, you don't want to." I'm still young, Li Hu is still young, and I'm young, so I shouldn't care. ”

Yan'er's sister-in-law nodded, but still asked: "Li Hu is too capable, what can he do if he doesn't look down on you?" You try him, ask him secretly. ”

Yan Yan snorted and said, "How dare he? He still dares to look down on me, he was picked up in the snow with your mother. She chuckled, "No matter how powerful it is, right?" ”

Yes, yes.

Yan'er's sister-in-law had a trace of worry in her eyes.

In the evening, in order to prevent them from being noisy, Dog Chestnut asked the descendants and young people to go to their house to sum up the matter of opening a stone quarry, Li Hu went, Yan'er also followed, and in the afternoon, the villagers sent several dogs home, and Yan'er gave an extra small one in her arms.

The house is clean and the dog is on a leash.

The rest of the ladies entered the hall together and closed the door.

Yan'er's mother said worriedly: "The boss of his uncle's family said that he had found someone for Yan'er, the winter solstice is coming soon, and he wants to come back, what do you say?" ”

Yan'er's sister-in-law said, "What should I do." No, what to do. The letter said that it was not understood. Come back and make it clear to him. The two children are generally big, and they are so close that they are willing to break up? We are willing, people still gossip in the village, saying that they hate the poor and love the rich. When he comes back, if he is stubborn, he will say that it is not his turn to take care of our family's affairs, and our family has a dumb, everything is waiting for a dumb to come back. He is looking for us, what kind of person can he find, can he compare to Li Hu? What about the rich man of a few hundred acres of land? Li Hu is still young, and the dog chestnut said, go out, if it weren't for pushing the people's family, there would be dozens of acres of land, he doesn't have hundreds of acres of land now, and he will have it sooner or later in the future. Why didn't I say anything? Know what to expect. ”

Yan'er's mother said, "Yes." At night, Li Hu came back and said, 'Auntie, I'm a tiger'. Shouting makes people's hearts sour. I asked him why he came back in the middle of the night, what did he say, he wanted to come back quickly, and he refused to stop on the road. When other people's parents are gone, in our house, isn't that the same as our own children? ”

Yan'er's sister-in-law said: "He is not Yan'er's brother, and what he thinks about is not Yan'er." also said that it was the second daughter's nod, the second daughter's relative. I don't believe it. Mother, you're there, if they don't come back and say a word, they will tell people Yan'er? And then write a letter to count? Even if there is no Li Hu, this matter must be asked clearly. When the second daughter went to Cangjun to see them, she was taken by the man, and she was not allowed to come back, and she was sealed with dozens of taels of silver. ”

Yan'er's mother said: "It's for our good to find a good mother-in-law for Yan'er, even if we Yan'er find it well, it is equivalent to flashing his face, you feel uncomfortable, and you can't directly complain about others." Just talk to him well. Presumably your uncle told him first, and your uncle also likes Li Hu. ”

She also said: "Back then, her second sister had nothing to do with other people, but Dumb went to find someone desperately and was dragged back by him. ”

Sister-in-law Yan'er nodded.

Suddenly there was a dog barking outside, Yan'er and her mother went out, leaving her to quickly wipe her tears, but when she got outside, it was Uncle Yan'er...... It seems that this is also for this.

As soon as he entered the door, he asked, "Ah Hu and Yan'er are not there?" ”

Yan'er Niang said, "I've gone to Dog Chestnut's house." ”

Uncle Yan'er hurriedly asked, "Didn't you tell them?" ”

Yan'er's sister-in-law also came to the front and replied on her behalf: "I didn't dare to say it." Hide it from them. ”

Uncle Yan'er said, "Then don't say it." Just writing a letter, what is so hasty? Besides, this hired woman is going to the woman's house, how can you say that let the woman go over to show them how she looks and see if she doesn't say anything? Did you go like her second sister? Don't pay attention to him, the winter solstice is coming, I'll talk to him when I come back. ”

Yan'er Niang said: "I'm afraid that he can't help himself, you can talk to him well, and go back to his home." ”

Uncle Yan'er sighed and said, "That's it." I'll hurry back. Her eldest mother and her second brother are also talking about this, and they think it's good to marry a rich family, and when they see Li Hu's child fighting, they are slowly facing him, don't worry about the boss in your heart, when his brother comes out like a person, we won't be bullied like this. Immediately afterwards, he asked again: "Let Er also live on your side, Li Hu brought back so much money?" ”

Yan'er Niang said, "Okay." You let him come. There's still some rice in this pot. Let him come when he returns. In the past two days, Li Hu said that tomorrow let me make a thick wooden cabinet and add a lock, so that I can't carry it away or open it, so I don't have to worry about it. ”

When they sent the old man away, they felt much more at ease, and when they came back together, they closed the door.

Closing the door, the two also decided to ask Li Hu once.

You said that you would protect the two of them, don't you ask him what he thinks?

People have come from picking up to the present, from the beginning of winter to the winter solstice.

It's only been a long time, ask him, it's not easy to ask, you said that you opened your mouth to ask him if he likes swallows, he doesn't have something to shout like a chestnut, he refuses to say what to do? Or he obviously doesn't like it in his heart, but because he lives at home, he insists that he likes it......

Ask him, and how will he answer?
