Chapter 537: The Marriage of the Little Man (Part II)
"What else?" Liu Tou glared at Hu Han and said, "Sanniang is seventeen years old, and her family background was not bad before, so there are naturally a lot of matchmakers, I heard Lao Wang say that Sanniang has already set a family business when she was in the Tang Dynasty, so don't think about it anymore!" ”
The news that Sanniang had already decided to marry was like a thunderbolt from the blue for Hu Han, making him stand on the spot all of a sudden, and all his enthusiasm turned into ice water. In fact, this is not surprising, in fact, with Sanniang's family background and appearance, Hu Han should have thought of this a long time ago, but it is a pity that he only thought about Sanniang with all his heart, and he didn't think about it at all.
Seeing Hu Han's depressed appearance, the bamboo pole rejoiced in the dark, fortunately he was already married, so he didn't think anything about Sanniang, otherwise he would have the same reaction as Hu Han. And Li Zhi patted Hu Han's shoulder sympathetically, this should be called fate.
At this moment, Lao Wang held two jars of old wine in his hand, and then sat on the edge of the table to remove the sealing mud on the wine jar and said: "Come on, come on, I'll fill it up for everyone, this is an authentic Wuwang drunk that has been stored for several years. ”
As soon as they heard that there was good wine to drink, Liu Tou and their eyes were all shining, but Hu Han was still sullen, he was full of joy, but when he heard such unfortunate news, his mood was naturally not much better, but Lao Wang was only happy, but he didn't notice Hu Han's abnormality.
Li Zhi picked up the wine bowl and tasted it, and found that it was indeed the aged Wuwang Drunk, and the storage year was about seven to eight years. It's only been nine years, so Lao Wang can get drunk for seven or eight years. It's already very rare.
There is such a good wine, and the dishes are very rich. In addition, Lao Wang frequently persuaded him to drink, so Liu Tou and Li Zhi were very happy. Hu Han was in a bad mood, and finally simply borrowed wine to drown his sorrows, almost until the glass was empty, and the angry Liu Tou kicked him twice under the table, but unfortunately Hu Han did not react.
"Dad, you and Uncle Liu don't drink too much, this is a sweet soup made by your daughter, let's drink some relief bar!" At this time. Sanniang walked in with a small pot of sweet soup in her hand. The sweet soup is made with several fruits and honey is placed in it, which can be used to relieve hangover.
"Okay, it's still Sanniang's intimacy, Liu Tou and a few little brothers have come to try Sanniang's craftsmanship!" Lao Wang's old face flushed, and he staggered to his feet and said, he alone wanted to persuade Li Zhi and the six of them to drink, of course he had drunk a lot, and now he was a little drunk.
But since Sanniang came in. Hu Han was still staring at each other, and there was a sadness in his slightly red eyes when he drank, and with the appointment of alcohol, Hu Han's eyes became redder and redder. In the end, even tears came out, if it weren't for the last shred of reason, it is estimated that he would have fallen on the table and cried bitterly. Fortunately, Lao Wang drank high. I didn't pay much attention to it.
However, Liu Tou was not angry when he saw Hu Han's unproductive appearance. In order to completely dispel the thoughts in Hu Han's heart, he finally simply said with the strength of wine: "Lao Wang." I think Sanniang is also a big boss, and she has already been married, I don't know when the other party will marry Sanniang? ”
Originally, according to Liu Tou's estimate, Sanniang is a big girl of sixteen or seventeen, although Taiwan advocates late marriage, but it is not mandatory, although the average girl will marry later than the girl of the Tang Dynasty, but it will not exceed eighteen, so Sanniang should be married within this year. And as long as Hu Han hears that Sanniang is about to get married, it is estimated that he will lose his thoughts and save himself from thinking nonsense.
However, what Liu Tou didn't expect was that when Lao Wang heard Sanniang's marriage, his old face was dark, and he patted the table a little angrily and said: "Hi~, don't mention it, originally Sanniang had promised my fellow villager Liu family to be a daughter-in-law, and their Liu family came to Taiwan half a year earlier than us, caught up with the good time, took out a loan to open a restaurant and made a fortune, and now it is also a rich family, but after the kid of the Liu family has money, he has seen a big world, and he is also very dissatisfied with Sanniang's family business, and finally said that his father and mother want to withdraw from the family, and I agreed in a fit of anger." , so Sanniang still doesn't have a mother-in-law, which has become a piece of my heart! ”
Lao Wang was heartbroken, Sanniang also wiped her tears and went out when she heard this, but Hu Han's eyebrows danced when he heard it, and Liu Tou and Li Zhi all looked at Hu Han with a strange gaze, thinking that this kid's luck is too good, he fell in love with a girl who was married, but he didn't expect the other party's in-laws to withdraw from the marriage, this is simply a match made in heaven!
However, Liu Tou then asked: "Lao Wang, this is your mistake, whether it is the laws of the Tang Dynasty or Taiwan, there are clear regulations, and those who withdraw from their relatives without reason will be punished, and if one party resolutely disagrees, they still have to get married, why don't you go to the government to rely on them?" ”
After hearing this, Lao Wang waved his hand and said: "Forget it, no matter how I say that my father and the son of the Liu family are also fellow villagers, and they also suffered together at the beginning, and people still kneel in front of me and beg to withdraw from the marriage, I don't want the two families to turn against each other, and since the boy of the Liu family doesn't look down on Sanniang, even if he marries him strongly, he still suffers in the end, so it's better to forget it!" ”
Liu Tou also felt justified when he heard it, and finally he could only shake his head helplessly, and then comforted Lao Wang a few words, while Li Zhi scolded the Liu family, saying that they were blind. While scolding the Liu family, Hu Han was secretly happy in his heart, and at the same time, he had the courage to touch Liu's head with his shoulder, and his eyes were full of pleading.
Liu Tou also felt that Hu Han really had a relationship with Sanniang, so after thinking about it for a while, he said to Lao Wang again: "Lao Wang, Sanniang, I feel distressed when I look at this girl, the one surnamed Liu has no vision, but we can't delay the marriage of our daughter, what kind of son-in-law do you want to find, I will help you pay attention to it, maybe you can achieve a good marriage?" ”
Lao Wang also knew that Liu Tou had a wide range of people, so when he heard that the other party was willing to help Sanniang pay attention, he was also happy at that time: "Actually, I don't have any requirements, as long as the other party is the same age as Sanniang, and there is nothing bad about it, of course, the most important thing is that Sanniang is willing, and there is nothing else to say." ”
Hearing Lao Wang's request, Hu Han wanted to stand up at that time, and then begged Lao Wang to give Sanniang to himself, but as soon as he moved, he was glared back by Liu Tou, and then saw Liu Tou smile and said to Lao Wang: "Lao Wang, your requirements are too low, such a son-in-law is not a big handful, not to mention anything else, what do you think of Hu Han's kid?" ”
Lao Wang was stunned when he heard this, and probably didn't expect Liu Tou to propose marriage on the spot. It took him a moment before he reacted, and he turned his head to look at Hu Han. In fact, he had a good impression of Hu Han, because that night was Hu Han's first move, which shows that the other party has a chivalrous heart, and there must be no problem in terms of character, but now Hu Han is just an ordinary worker, and he is worried that if his daughter marries the other party, she will suffer with Hu Han.
Liu Tou is a good person, after seeing Lao Wang's expression, he immediately understood what the other party was worried about, and said with a smile: "Lao Wang, you don't know, Hu Han is the smartest of the boys under my hands, and now he has completed the literacy courses arranged in the factory, and he is willing to work hard, and the factory is ready to arrange for him to go to the Navigation Academy to study, and the Navigation Academy you also know that as long as he graduates from the Academy, the major shipyards are all rushing to ask for it, and the minimum monthly is dozens of silver coins. At that time, Sanniang will definitely not be treated badly. ”
As soon as Lao Wang heard that Hu Han was going to the Navigation Academy, he immediately dispelled the doubts in his heart, his restaurant was surrounded by shipyards, and he naturally knew that the talents that came out of the Navigation Academy were sought-after talents, and they were also respected, and his daughter would have face if she married.
Seeing that Lao Wang had not spoken, Hu Han couldn't sit still anymore, so he stood up and walked in front of Lao Wang, and then knelt down and said: "Uncle Wang, don't worry, although I, Hu Han, don't have any money now, I swear that I will definitely let Sanniang live a good life with me, and I will never let her suffer the slightest grievance!" ”
Seeing that Hu Han said so, Lao Wang immediately changed his kind look and said: "Hu Han, that day I saw that you were the first to rush up to help me and Sanniang, and I knew that you were a good young man, so I am relieved of your character, as for you want to marry Sanniang, I have no opinion, but I still have to discuss with Sanniang, what does she mean?" ”
In these years, the marriage of children is obeyed by their parents, so when Liu Tou heard that Lao Wang was going to discuss with Sanniang, he thought it was Lao Wang's excuse, so he said with some displeasure: "Lao Wang, didn't you have the final say on Sanniang's marriage, and what else did you discuss with Sanniang?" ”
Lao Wang said with a wry smile: "Liu Tou doesn't know, it was my idea to marry the Liu family at the beginning, and later the Liu family quit the marriage, and the old woman didn't blame me, so now I don't dare to make the decision about Sanniang's marriage, it depends on what she means, anyway, Sanniang and Hu Han have also met." ”
After Lao Wang finished speaking, he arched his hand to Liu Tou and them, and then went to discuss with Sanniang, while Hu Han, who stayed behind, was nervous, as if he was a prisoner waiting for the sentence to be pronounced in the yamen.
After a while, Lao Wang turned around from the backyard and said with a little smile on his face: "Liu Tou, Hu Han, I have discussed with Sanniang just now, Sanniang didn't say she disagreed, but she felt that she had known Hu Han for a short time, and she didn't know much about his character, so if Hu Han is free in the future, come to the house to sit and chat with Sanniang, we are all from poor families, there are not so many rules, as long as Sanniang thinks you are good, then we will marry!" ”
"Thank you...... Thank you, Uncle Wang! Hearing Lao Wang's words, Hu Han was so excited that he even stammered a little, and Liu Tou and they all came up to congratulate, although this family business has not yet been finalized, but Sanniang is willing to contact Hu Han, which shows that Sanniang has a good impression of Hu Han, and with their understanding of Hu Han, this kid's character is indeed good, so there should be no problem with this family business.
Li Zhi saw a family affair decided in front of him, and he was also infected with Hu Han's joy, which he had never experienced before, and it was at this time that he suddenly understood the real reason why the sixth brother arranged for him to enter the factory. (To be continued......)
