Defend II 46
"Don't say it, I'll marry, I'll marry!" She threw herself into her grandmother's arms and cried. Hearing her grandparents' serious words, can she be stubborn anymore? She is not the kind of person who is unreasonable, so she resolutely put on a wedding dress.
Grandma wiped her tears and said: "Women, you have to accept your fate when you are born, after you get married, you have to change your stubborn temper, and if you get married, you have to listen to others, and you can't let your temperament go." You are at home that your father and mother can't control, that's because there are grandparents who are used to spoiling you, and you don't let others wipe you at all. After such a long way, the world is not peaceful, it will not be easy to meet again in the future, don't do things that worry your family! In the lifetime of grandma and your grandfather, I don't know if I will see you again! With your twisted temperament, it would be nice if you had a relationship with your brother, but it's a pity that you just gave birth to a daughter, and people sometimes have a strong heart! ”
"Grandma, I'll just listen to you, don't worry!"
Now that's a thing of the past!
At this time, Tao Zhenkun and Qiu Lanzhi helped Tao Qisheng to pick it up.
Liu Chengde was quite stunned when he saw Tao Qisheng's sick appearance, and quickly stepped forward and asked, "Brother, you-what's wrong with you?" ”
Tao Qisheng's excited face was full of tears, he trembled and grabbed Liu Chengde with his hands, and said in a trembling voice: "Big brother, it's hard to say, I didn't expect my brother to see you before he died!" ”
Hands clasped tightly, this is a friendship that has been tested for many years!
"This-this-is-brother, why do you say that?" Liu Chengde was shocked.
"Big brother, mother-in-law, come into the house and talk about it!" Qiu Lanzhi gave in with tears in her eyes.
Liu Xingmei and her mother were also surprised.
So, Liu Chengde and his wife spent two days at Tao's house. When they insisted on leaving, Tao Zhenkun escorted them across the "Toad Ditch" with a shotgun, and nothing happened.
After two days, there was no bad news, and Liu Xingmei relieved her heart. As soon as my father and mother come, I don't have to go back for the New Year, and I can't leave if there are patients at home, which saves me from worrying.
In the past few days, Tao Qisheng has eaten the wild ginseng that Tao Zhenkun picked in the mountains for some years, but there is still no good effect!
Behind his back, Tao Zhenkun asked Liu Xingmei: "Have you asked where you were born?" ”
Liu Xingmei sighed and said, "Don't mention this matter in the future!" ”
Tao Zhenkun thought to herself: She must have asked her father about this.
Bandits appeared nearby, and the news spread ten, ten, and hundreds, and quickly became known to men, women, and children in the village. Immediately boiling over each other, like a terrifying haze shrouded the sky over the Peace Village, and everyone was worried.
The bandits and bandits who rob homes and houses are really hateful!
In the panic that could not be stopped, the old birthday star Wu Yuanzu in the village stepped forward, he is eighty years old, in this almost embattled situation, because of his identity as an old man, it can be said that there is cohesion and appeal, because the Wu family occupies a deep-rooted prominent position in the village. He spoke, gathered the villagers, and held a meeting in the spacious courtyard of his house. He is highly respected and responds to every call.
In the magnificent deep-walled compound of the Wu family, it was crowded and crowded, bustling, full of people, and there were many discussions. Tao Zhenkun also came to participate, and he joined in the middle of the crowd. The courtyard of the Wu family, covering an area of six or seven acres, has more than 20 houses, red bricks and green tiles, all of which are neat houses, with red painted doors and windows, and the windows are inlaid with an opaque stained glass. In the eyes of the villagers who have not seen much of the world, it is already golden enough, and the two stone lions outside the gate can set off the symbol of grandeur, and there are four tethered horse stakes. From time to time, there was a fishy smell in the air, which was the reason for the cattle and sheep pens outside the walls. In the deep mountains far away from the town, there are also Lin Yang's two families who live in brick houses, but compared with the Wu family, they are naturally much inferior. In addition, four horses and three donkeys were tethered in front of the trough in the livestock pen in the yard. The horses are used by the young masters of the Wu family when they go out, and the donkeys are used to pull carts from the fields. It can be seen that it is enough to fully show the grandeur of the Wu family's great cause. Don't look at the Wu family is the richest man in Heping Village, but they don't make slaves call maids, at best, they hire two cattle and sheep, Hao Qiang and Yan Meng. The terrain of the Wu family is the highest position in the village, and it looks arrogant and magnificent in the eyes of the villagers. Because the village is full of potholes, each house is seven high and eight low, and it is also a dog's tooth, and there is no mention of neatness and order.
The arrival of these people is enough to make the dog bark for a while, and there are dogs tied to the courtyard of the Wu family on all sides, and the dog can play the role of guarding the house. Two different birdsong sounds were nice, and it came from two cages on the clothespole with two different birds inside, I heard it was a parrot and a thrush.
Wu Yuanzu, whose body is still tough, wears a robe and a horse coat, and sits down from a chair, with a childish face, his pale hair is combed back, although it is thin, it is also long to the shoulders, as if he has left the legacy of the Qing Dynasty, and his white beard flutters on his chest. The bronzed face was wrinkled and piled up, but his eyes were blazing, not angry and arrogant. Although he still walks vigorously, he still has a delicately carved sandalwood cane in his hand, which seems to be able to give people admiration and majesty under the vicissitudes of an old dragon clock. He was sitting in a chair with a golden chain hanging from his chest and one end in his pocket, which everyone knew was a Swiss gold pocket watch, and a turquoise emerald wrench on his thumb. On another chair beside him sat his wife Su, who was also seventy-seven years old, with black and white sparse hair combed in a bun at the back of his head, his fair face was already wrinkled, and his cheeks were slightly sunken, because he had lost a few teeth, but he showed kindness in his dignity, and his figure was slightly thin, but he was still tough. She wears gold earrings on her ears, a gold ring on the ring finger of her right hand, and a jade bracelet on her wrist. Her feet are "three-inch golden lotus", which is wrapped around her feet, so a pair of shoes looks small and exquisite, and it also represents a symbol of women's oppression in the feudal period. The vast majority of women here do not bind their feet, and because they have to work in the fields, it is difficult to bind their feet. It is said that this old lady is still holding a key to the house, responsible for managing money, and there are accounts to keep in and out, which is a power given to her by Wu Yuanzu. Although Wu Yuanzu can be called a rich man, he is not like other rich gentry, who has a group of wives and concubines, and hires servants to be powerful. He has many sons and grandchildren, his family education is very strict, he does not condone the misdeeds of his children and grandchildren, he is rampant, bullying men and women, and his family is kind to people of all ages, approachable, and reasonable, so he has won the unanimous respect of the villagers. His children and grandchildren were obedient to him.
Behind this white-headed couple, their four sons, Wu Jinfu, Wu Jinlu, Wu Jinxi, and Wu Jinqi, stood with their hands down in a regular manner. In addition, next to their four brothers stood their eight sons, the eldest of them were all over the age of standing, all of them were tigers and bears, and their images were veritable Northeast Han, and the two small ones were also in the year of the dancing spoon, each of them only accounted for one word, in order: dragon, phoenix, Cheng, Xiang, He, family, Huan, Le. Behind them, there are female dependents, the wives of the four brothers and six better-looking girls, all of whom are in the boudoir, which can be regarded as the daughter of a large family, among which there are three jasper years who have been contracted, two of whom are from the village, and the other is in the distant county, which is a family affair that the Wu family once had business in the county. The youngest of the six sisters are twelve or thirteen years old in the cardamom years, and their names are: Ni Jiao, Ni Wa, Ni Huan, Ni Ting, Ni Ji, and Ni Wu, which are a little awkward in the mouths of some ignorant people. Usually they don't go out of the door, following the traditional way of everyone's ladies, not just keen on piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but conventions in the skills of female celebrities. Although these six sisters are not siblings, they are as close as other brothers and sisters. The Wu family can also be said to be a scholarly family, and the name is naturally not very vulgar. The four brothers of the Wu family did not want their daughters and nieces to marry far away, or they coveted glory and wealth, and chose high branches to climb, thinking that they were more at ease in front of them. There is also the wife of Longfeng Chengxiang, and the four young women are either pulling or holding their respective children, and some are in swaddling clothes.
In front of everyone's eyes, the female dependents were not allowed to avoid it, which shows that the Wu family is no longer so feudal.
This is a big family with four generations in the same house, and it is a harmonious family that is admired by outsiders.
In fact, the most enviable thing in life is not how much wealth and power others have, but some people who really live in happiness. The men, women and children in this deep mansion compound do not know how long their happiness will last, and everything will change quietly.
