14. The godfather patiently taught the half-son and the righteous mother to love and protect the lintel

In the middle of the night, Dongfang Zhou went outside to solve the problem, just received the objects, there was a sound on the west road outside the toilet, and under the moonlight, he vaguely saw that it was the carriage of the agricultural society, and called Liu Min outside the window, saying that Xiaohong and the flower girl were back.

Liu Min in the house hurriedly got up, exposed his two fat breasts, lifted his small cloth shirt, and walked out while wearing it. The husband and wife came to the gate together, greeted Li Hu first, and then helped the flower girl take off the dowry from the car and bring the strap into the house.

The flower girl put the four-color ceremony on the table and said: "Last time, my goddaughter and Xiaohu went to the town to buy this gift, and when I saw that in addition to the large-scale production of cigarettes in the town, the wine was actually loose wine, the sugar was a sugar ball without wrapping paper, and the pastry was only a hard and hard hearth fruit, so I didn't buy it; I thought that I would be able to enter the city once one day, and I would rush to buy it again, so I went to buy a dowry today, and I bought it back by the way. ”

Liu Min said: "It's not necessary, what are you doing with your daughter's money, your godfather and mother are not outsiders." ”

"Godmother, don't say it, it's not an outsider that I bought it, when I bought it, Xiaohong blocked it horizontally, I said no, I have to buy it. Originally, I thought that I had knocked my own heads, and I had eaten countless meals eight times, so how could I not buy it?! ”

Dongfang Zhou picked up the two bottles of liquor tied with paper rope and held them high above his head and looked at them, praising this Liaoyang Lao Baigan as a good wine, and it was 60 degrees in seriousness; He also praised cigarettes, this large production cigarette brand is positive, and it carries tin foil, which ordinary people cannot afford to smoke, at least they have to be town mayor-level cadres to be qualified to smoke it; There is also this cake, which is now called a cake, and it is called a trough cake in the Republic of China, because there is a mold made of iron plates, and a trough is brushed on it, and then it is baked in the stove; Sugar is also wrapped in flower paper. After boasting, he took a candy cube and tore off the paper and threw it into his mouth, and then took a handful and scattered it on the kang for everyone to eat.

The godfather asked the flower girl while chewing on the candy cubes, "How about you two go to the city with Li Hu?" ”

The flower girl snorted, shed a tear, and said, "Don't mention it, you can kill people!" "No more words.

Liu Min asked Xiaohong, and Xiaohong came one by one, and the flower girl interjected from time to time, and the two of them made it clear what happened in the city.

Xiaohong and Hua Nu were so angry when they spoke, but the more Dongfang Zhou listened, the happier he became, and said: "The two daughters are fine, I am very happy to hear it!" ”

Liu Min asked puzzledly: "Li Hu's appearance, there is no human flavor at all, why are you still happy?" ”

"Li Hu is not personal, needless to say; I'm happy with the Flower Girl and Little Red. According to what they said, I think my goddaughter can grasp Li Hu's eyes, for example, on the way there, he refused Li Hu's proposal to move his seat several times, and later after sitting opposite Xiaohong, he did not let Li Hu turn back many times; and scolded Li Hu to shut up when watching the tiger; Especially when she wanted to eat after buying the dowry, the flower girl could bite Li Hu's head and eat the soup dumplings, forcing Li Hu to eat it, not to eat it, he was in a dilemma, it was difficult to ride a tiger, and finally he was impatient to come up with a sentence that there was no money in his waist. made Li Hu very faceless. Besides, the sentence that our Xiaohong said to Li Hu that it would be better if there was a big tigress was particularly powerful, and said that the big tigress was the matchmaker, so that Li Hu was honestly speechless, and he was very convinced of the two daughters, and on the way back, he didn't say a word about the eggplant. I guess he won't be able to get a good night's sleep even when he gets home. This shows that the two of you are on top after all. Therefore, I advise my goddaughter not to sigh loudly, but to be happy! ”

As soon as she heard this, the flower girl calmed down and said, "According to what my godfather said, then I will not give in to the old immortal in the future, and when there is something, I will not be able to do anything with Mai Mang and him?!" ”

"That's not ...... either"

Xiaohong grabbed and said: "My sister Hua is right, I will fight him to the end!" ”

Dongfang Zhou glared at Xiaohong and scolded: "You little child, adults should listen to what they say, don't follow nonsense." ”

He turned around and continued to say to the flower girl: "We can't do anything with him, because if Li Hu is not right-hearted, then he is still your father-in-law after all, and we must be filial to our father-in-law as a daughter-in-law, which is obvious, because people are adults, we are villains, and when we are villains, as the saying goes, filial piety comes first; On the contrary, if he is not right-minded, it is another matter, you have to look like a daughter-in-law on the surface, and you must pay special attention to guarding and monitoring him in secret. If you can't do it directly with him, it will get more and more stiff, and if you don't get it right, it will cause extraneous branches. ”

"Godfather, you say so, I'm a little confused, and let me have a daughter-in-law, and I don't directly him, so how will I be a flower girl in the future?"

Dongfang Zhou whispered: "Godfather gave you an idea, when you are in trouble, you must pass your husband Xiaohu and let Xiaohu face his father directly." ”

The flower girl nodded straight when she heard this.

In the middle of the night, I heard the sound of the walkway in the yard, who was coming.

Liu Min pushed the door and saw that it was Li Xiaohu, and hurriedly let him into the house.

The flower girl just wanted to talk to Xiaohu the next day, so she said with a light in her eyes: "Xiaohu is here." ”

Dongfang Zhou was also trying his best to see Xiaohu, but he didn't wait to see Cao arrived, so he greeted him with a smile and said, "Sit down, sit down!" ”

Xiaohong was also very enthusiastic, patted the edge of the kang, and said, "Brother Xiaohu, sit here." Everyone was so enthusiastic, Xiaohu felt warm in his heart and sat down.

The flower girl said, "Why don't you sleep at home, you come back in the middle of the night, what's wrong?" ”

Xiaohu said: "Something, as soon as I got up early in the morning, I was worried in my heart, and I didn't feel at all when I lay down at night, so I came to you." ”

It turned out that when Li Hu returned home, he was unhappy and didn't like to squeak, except for Xiaohu who asked him if the dowry had been bought, he didn't say a word, and fell asleep with a big quilt on the kang, but he couldn't fall asleep over and over. Xiaohu's mother asked Xiaohu, could your father go into the city and lose the money he borrowed from a neighbor's house? Xiaohu was shocked when he heard this. I thought to myself, if I really lose the borrowed money, it will be difficult to repay it in the future, not to mention, I am afraid that I will not even be able to buy a dowry today, and I will be able to shoot two eyes. Thinking about it again, no, when the old man first entered the house, I asked him if he had bought the dowry back, and he obviously hummed, indicating that the money must not have been lost; Taking a step back, even if he loses it, he will say it when he goes home, because he has no reason to hide it from his family. I guessed that the old man must have had some quarrel with the flower girl, and he was very anxious when he thought of this, and immediately wanted to ask the flower girl, but it was not appropriate to go to Dongfang's house in the middle of the night, so he undressed and lay down, and he heard Li Hu, the kang head, sighing and hi, and he didn't sleep either, so he simply got up and put on his clothes gently, and quietly went out and went straight to Dongfang's house......

The flower girl said: "Come to me if you are troubled, you don't look at what time it is, the third watch is almost bright in the middle of the night!" ”

"Am I not in trouble?!"

"What's the matter?"

"I'm here to ask you, did you lose the money when you went into town with my dad today?"

"Nope!"

"Then why is my dad upset when he gets home?"

"Then you'll have to ask your dad to go."

"When I was at home, I asked him everything, but he didn't say anything, so I came to ask you."

The flower girl glanced at her godfather, Dongfang Zhou blinked, and said: "This looks like there is something between my goddaughter and her in-laws, and there are often things like tongues and teeth at home. ”

The flower girl got up.

Xiaohu didn't move, and said, "You don't need to go through that house, the flower girl has nothing to do with my father, and you don't have to carry your aunt and aunt and Xiaohong behind your back, you can say it." ”

"Then your aunt and Xiaohong will go to that house, and you two will talk in this house." Dongfang Zhou gestured to Liu Min after explaining.

Xiaohu stepped forward to stop him in every possible way, and the Dongfang couple sat down again.

The flower girl re-learned the matter again angrily as she had just now, Xiaohong quickly interjected from time to time, and Xiaohu listened quietly, and there was gradually anger on her face.

After the flower girl finished speaking, Xiaohu said loudly: "I'm not afraid of your uncles and aunts laughing at you, my dad and he can pay it back, the flower girl hasn't officially passed the door, and when my father-in-law is like this, I don't know what to do, see how I clean him up when I go back!" ”

Dongfang Zhou stopped him, and Liu Min also persuaded him, but Xiaohu was still angry and panting.

Dongfang Zhou moved to sit beside Xiaohu and said patiently: "Xiaohu, you must calm down, if you want to say, since I am the godfather of the flower girl, then in a few days I will be your father-in-law, and you will become my son-in-law, there is a way, 'the new son-in-law is called Jiaoke, and the east bed is for half a son' Half son is half a son, of course you are Li Hu's son, we can't be sons like this to your Lao Tzu, how can you actually say that you want to go back and clean up him, how can this work?!" It's not that I'm going to say it, in the future, we won't be able to do things like before, I want to enlighten you, so that you can learn how to do things and how to behave, especially at home, understand how to respect your father, wife and son, and be a good man. ”

"I understand this, but I want your uncle to say, how can he be a father-in-law like this?! You still don't know, before I went to the city, I said that I would lead the flower girl into the city, but he said that he didn't follow anything, he had to go, this old wounded man Xuaner is not a thing! ”

Dongfang Zhou smiled and said: "This is wrong for you little tiger again, why do you still scold your dad for being an old wounded man, you can't scold, you have to understand that your dad has no face when he comes back and no longer speaks; So you should act like this after you go back, while he has no face, you will learn what the flower girl said to him, and at the same time, you have to tell your mother behind your back, your mother is bound to stink him, if you don't agree to him, he will be even more faceless, and even pierce his heart, and have no face to see your mother, so that he can blame himself and repent, and he can be more restrained in the future. Besides, if you do this, he can still know that you are not giving it for nothing as a son, and if you have the heart, he can take you seriously in the future, and even fear you, how good is this! ”

"If I look at it, he is that goods, and ginger can't be separated from spicy at any time!" The flower girl said.

Dongfang Zhou said: "I don't think so, only if he can go to his heart, people!" ”

The flower girl said to Xiaohu: "It's really incomprehensible, after we get married, I want you to take me out to rent a house, far away from your father and your mother." ”

Xiaohong said happily: "I think my Sister Hua has a good idea, let Sister Hua and Brother Xiaohu move out and set up a gate again, and don't stir the horse spoon with them." ”

Xiaohu was happy and said: "I think the same thing in my head, otherwise, my dad will be better in the future, and I don't worry about him." ”

"This is also a method, but you have to go to rent a house after you get married, otherwise it will be bad for your father's face, and even if it is a rent, your father must agree, and he can only get the rent if he agrees, isn't it?"

Xiaohu said, "Okay! ”

The flower girl also said yes.

It was almost dawn before Xiaohu went home.

The next day, Xiaohong went to school, and the flower girl came to the godmother's side.

The godmother has been very busy with her goddaughter's going out for days, and even the boxy red hijab has been embroidered for two days. At this moment, he showed the hijab to the flower girl. In front of it is a mandarin duck playing in the water, and there are a few water waves below, which is really like a living one. The back is a big blessing character, and there is a row of cloud scrolls around it. The flower girl was overjoyed.

Liu Min put the red hijab on the flower girl's head, took a step back and looked back and back, looked left and right, and said, "As soon as my goddaughter wears this hijab, it looks more colorful!" ”

After saying that, he laughed again.

The flower girl tore off her hijab and raised it above her head, revealing a face like a flower and jade, which was extremely beautiful against the bright red hijab. He shed tears and said: "Godmother, you are really closer than my dead mother, I will be able to treasure this hijab after I pass the door, and I will never forget the great kindness of my godmother!" ”

Liu Min was very happy to hear this, and said: "This is what a godmother should do, there is a way that your son-in-law is called a fast son-in-law, and the woman's lintel, how can I dress up my goddaughter well!" ”

The flower girl asked, "What does the lintel mean?" ”

Godmother said: "The lintel means that the daughter is the façade of the mother's family, at the wedding, everyone looks at the appearance of the bride, and the second depends on how the mother's mother dresses up, how can I not care?!" ”

After speaking, he took out a new pair of shoes for the flower girl to wear and try. There is also a butterfly embroidered on each of the two front faces, and the butterfly arms are stretched upward, as if flying.

The flower girl walked happily to and fro on the ground.

Liu Min said: "As soon as my goddaughter puts on this new shoe, there will be no one!" ”

The flower girl laughed, stomped a few feet hard, and said, "On the day I arrived at Yege, I will use the new shoes made by my godmother to step on the villain." ”

"Who's the villain?"

"The villain is Li Hu's old thing!"

The godmother glared at him with her eyes and said, "Goddaughter, don't scold him, we are women, and we have to keep something in mind." ”

The flower girl nodded in agreement.

The godmother took out the big red curtain again for the flower girl to see.

Because the flower girl wants to live in the north and south kang with Li Hu after marriage, this cloth curtain should be neatly rolled up to a long curtain in the air during the day, and there is a horizontal batch of "Liansheng Guizi" on it, and it will be lowered and put down at night to cover it, so as to make life convenient.

The flower girl looked at it, a smiling face became gloomy, and she let out a long sigh, and the godmother stopped talking.

Susu, Liu Min said: "Godmother wants to ask her goddaughter, last night you said that you would go out to rent a house after marriage, so can Li Hu agree?" ”

The flower girl said: "I am also thinking about this, I am afraid that the old thing can't agree, if he really doesn't agree, I will pull Xiaohu behind my back and he endlessly, so that he will not be able to live in peace." ”

Godmother said: "Goddaughter, don't be like that, you are the new daughter-in-law, you have to be leisurely in everything, really Li Hu didn't nod, Godmother thought about it until dawn last night, and wanted her goddaughter and Xiaohu to move to live with me......"

The flower girl burst into tears and said, "Then what is it?!" ”

"Goddaughter is afraid that the little tiger will intervene in the door, right?"

"That's not it, Xiaohu, he has to listen to me."

"That's good, the godmother has thought about it, you just came to live for a while, and when the spring of next year begins, our family still has a few dollars on hand, and it is not a problem to build two houses."

"Build a house?"

"Yes! Build a house for your godfather as a clinic, and vacate a house here for you to live in, how good! ”

"Then did my godmother think about this, or did my godfather have something to say a long time ago?"

"Goddaughter, don't think much about this; In our family, your godfather depends on me for everything in the house, and if I mention anything, your godfather will agree. Besides, he once said that the clinic was a little too small in the Westinghouse, and it was too small, didn't he just want to deposit another room! ”

The flower girl said: "I can't think of this alone, I still have to discuss it with Xiaohu." Godmother, you can do that, you and your godfather do your thing, and the matter between me and Xiaohu is a trivial matter, and this is a later story. ”

"Godmother is worried about you."

The flower girl threw herself into Liu Min's arms and shed tears.
