Chapter 31: The Second Uncle and the Second Family
As he spoke, he turned to Wei Dahe and said, "The business of the shop is good this year, I know that you are the best son of my mother." Our Wei Village is the first time you have come back with this carriage with a cloth shed. The words were full of pride. Usually, most of the people in and out of the village take ox carts and mule carts, and such high-headed horses are really rare. Especially with a carport, it looks even richer.
And listening to Mrs. Tian's words, Wei Xiaoge sneered in her heart, Wei Dahe's shop has a good business and has nothing to do with the old Wei family, she is not afraid that Liu Yingniang will be unhappy when she says this? Thinking about it, I couldn't help but glance at Liu Yingniang again, and sure enough, I saw her lips pursed slightly, and the unhappiness in Mrs. Tian's eyes flashed quickly.
And Wei Dahe just smiled and said, "Mother, let's go home and talk." ”
These words made Mrs. Tian think that she was right, and nodded hurriedly. When he looked up and saw Wei Dalin, he quickened his pace.
The whole family went to the main house of the old courtyard.
There are not so many exquisiteness in the village, and they are all family, so they directly enter the room where Wei Laogen and Mrs. Tian sleep, and this room is the most spacious in this courtyard.
As soon as she entered, Mrs. Tian first arranged for Wei Laogen to put the porcelain basin on the cabinet containing the clothes to prevent the rich and noble brothers from touching it. Then he put the fruit in the basket to the end of the kang, and put the burden in Qiao's hand that he was reluctant to put into the wardrobe, and then put Liu Yingniang on the specially burned kang, saying that it was warm there.
Glancing with disgust, Liu Yingniang sat directly on a stool leaning against the root of the north wall. Wei Yinzhu and Wei Yuzhu stood beside her.
They don't go to sit on the dirty kang when they look at it, and it won't be good if they stain their clothes.
"Let the third brother and sister take the child to sit on the kang," Wei Dahe swept the room, and then said: "There is also a little goose, how can my hand be injured, and he is still carrying things, he is really a sensible child." It's just that there are a lot of people in the family today, so you don't have to do anything, just go and sit on the kang and help your mother take the three boys. ”
As soon as she heard this, Old Lady Tian immediately frowned. She celebrated her birthday, and she didn't invite Yuan's mother and daughter to come over as guests, why did she let them be so comfortable. It's just that after all, it was her most proud second son who said it, and she didn't want to lose his face in front of others, so she waved at Yuan and Wei Xiaogoose and asked them to sit on the kang.
Seeing that the meat was out of reach, and the fruit was put into the kang by his grandmother, and he had to take off his shoes and put on his shoes when he went up, he was thinking about whether to go to the kang, when he heard this, he immediately set his eyes on the basket in Wei Xiaogo's hand.
But Mrs. Ketian had already taken the basket in her hand first.
Yuan and Wei Xiao'e glanced at each other, but they were indeed worried that Wei Qingyun would catch a cold in this cold day, and they didn't worry that he was lying on the kang by himself. Now that there is Wei Dahe, the two of them also followed on the kang.
And casually took the basket in Mrs. Tian's hand, Wei Dahe lifted the coarse cloth covered on it and looked at it, and said with a smile: "The hands of the third brother and sister are so skillful. Mother, you see, this longevity peach is better than the ones sold in the town. ”
As soon as he said this, Mrs. Tian, who didn't know what was in it, also stretched out her head to look, and when she saw a few steamed buns in the basket surrounded two bowls of white-faced longevity peaches, she immediately smiled.
It's just that Mrs. Tian is not happy that these two longevity peaches are well done, but feels that Yuan can be satisfied with the steamed buns that have steamed so many white noodles for herself. A few days ago, Wei Xiaoge came to get food, and she knew best how many things she gave to the West Courtyard, and the two of them were willing to give her steamed steamed buns with not much white flour, and she was naturally happy.
"Okay, good," Mrs. Tian nodded at Yuan's kind face rarely, and she no longer cared about their mother and daughter sitting on the hot kang.
Qiao Shi on the side looked uncomfortable at first glance, this old woman, as long as she didn't take things out of her hands, she felt like she was in vain. If she were given something, she would make such a face.
Thinking about it, in a blink of an eye, he saw that Wei Gui's little black hand had already touched the snow-white shou peach in the basket, and Qiao's heart was suddenly happy. I wish my son could stain and break this basket of steamed buns and two longevity peaches. How happy will you be to see the old lady when the time comes?
But before Wei Gui's hand could reach in, he was directly beaten aside by Mrs. Tian's eyes, and she scolded in her mouth: "What are you doing?" If you don't go to play at the same time, you know how to eat. ”
was beaten like this by Mrs. Tian, Wei Gui quit.
So many good things dangled in front of his eyes, but he couldn't get anything, and he suddenly opened his mouth and cried: "Grandma, I want to eat steamed buns." Either give me fruit, or give me a piece of meat. ”
When he made such a fuss, Wei Fu also cried and shouted.
The two of them have been spoiled since they were children, and they can pierce the roof with a big mouth and a loud voice, or two people cry at the same time. woke up Xiao Qingyun, who was originally asleep, and cried as well.
Now the room, which was already crowded due to the large number of people, became cluttered.
Mrs. Tian turned her eyes angrily and glared at Qiao's, but Qiao's lowered her head and pretended not to see it because she didn't catch anything.
"Okay," Wei Dahe snorted lightly and said, "Whoever doesn't cry first, the second uncle will have candy for him." In a word, the crying of the rich and noble brothers was cut off.
Seeing that they stopped crying, Wei Dahe did not break his word, took out a paper bag from his arms, opened it and took out a few pieces of hemp candy, and gave them two pieces each. When the rich brothers got the candy, they immediately stuffed it into their mouths and stopped making trouble.
Turned around and gave Sister Wei Dong and Sister Wei Qiu one piece, Wei Dahe smiled and took the last two pieces to Wei Xiaogoose, and said, "Everyone has it, Little Goose is very well-behaved today, and it has one more than the sisters." ”
Not for his own two daughters, but now for a few children in the village.
It's just that if you had planned to give them to them a long time ago, why didn't you take it out when you entered the room, but waited until the rich brothers made a fuss?
Also, Wei Dahe's performance today is too strange. Thinking about when her father Wei Dashan was at home, this second uncle had not taken care of her like today, and the inexplicable Wei Xiaoge was alarmed in his heart.
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, and Wei Dahe's family's performance today is too abnormal.
After pacifying the rich brothers, the family sat down to talk.
Mrs. Tian thought that she would have to go out to clean up the food for a while, so she asked first: "Dahe, you are all back, do you want to stay for two days?" "Usually, the second son's family rarely comes back, and even if they come back, there are not so many people and such a big posture, so she asked like this.
"No," Wei Dahe smiled and said to Mrs. Tian, "I'll come back to celebrate my mother's birthday." Besides, now that there is a carriage to serve, it is easy to go back and forth. ”
