Wu Tong walked on the road for a while, and his thoughts that were hot just now were also suppressed by the cold wind, and when he saw the path he often passed by, he couldn't help but think of what happened today.

The girl who was about to be engaged to him, bowed her head and was silent at first, and then her red face was angry when she taught her younger brother, and the gritted teeth expression when she looked at her brother's back when she thanked herself, she couldn't help but think of the scene when he was educating his children in the future.

"She should be a lady who can be the head of the house like her grandmother, she can read and write, and she can educate her children, but she is much better than herself."

Wu Tong thought about it and couldn't help but talk to himself, smiled knowingly, looked up at the moon in the sky, made some decisions in his heart, and walked to Wu Qingzhu's house with his feet.

When I arrived at the door, I saw that Wu's father was about to come over and lock the door, and in the dark night, the two looked at each other for a while, but they didn't speak.

Father Wu's hand holding the door panel loosened, and when he saw that the other side didn't speak, he didn't have the intention of waiting, and thought that he was an elder, so he simply gave this child some face.

"Wu Tong! What's the matter? ”

"Uncle, is Grandpa Wu asleep?"

"You're looking for my father, you haven't slept yet, and you're teaching Brother Quan to endorse in the courtyard."

"Can I go in and talk to you?"

"Come on, come in."

Father Wu also wondered, why could he come here so late, since someone else had something to do, he still chose to push the door open and let him in.

As soon as Wu Tong entered the courtyard, he saw Wu Qingquan kneeling at the door of the hall, and everyone in the family was in the courtyard to cool off.

In the scene of the machete, I couldn't help but stand in embarrassment, not knowing how to speak.

Wu Qingquan endorsed the book, heard the movement on his back, turned his head and saw Wu Tong, startled, and couldn't help but memorize a few wrong words, and then the board held by his brother fell into his palm.

Angrily turned his head and glared at Wu Tong, you said that this person, every time he comes, it is not the time, he is beaten when his sister is there in the afternoon, and he is still being punished at night, he is still there, don't you want to lose face, if this is rumored that you are in the village, how can you mess around?

Wu Tong also felt that he had come at a bad time, if he looked carefully through the bright moonlight, he could see Wu Tong's sweat flowing down, and his fists couldn't help clenching and then loosening.

Seeing that the junior was so nervous, Grandpa Wu opened his mouth first in a calm tone: "Wu Tong, is there something wrong?" ”

Wu ...... Grandpa Wu...... Can I tell you something? ”

Grandpa Wu saw that the kid said this sentence nervously and seriously, and he also smiled: "Then what's not okay, let's go, go to my study." ”

Father Wu didn't think too much about it, he really thought there was something, and Mother Wu walked in front of Father Wu at this time and pushed it, which meant that he asked him to go over and listen to something.

Father Wu also reacted to this push, and hurriedly followed behind the two of them and entered the study.

Wu Qingzhu thought about it, handed the board to Wu Qingquan and followed.

"Grandpa, the kerosene lamp is out of oil, I'll add it to you!"

Mother Wu saw that Wu Qingquan was also poking his head out to look over there, so she patted him on the back of the head from behind: "Why don't you hurry up and wait for your grandfather to come back and continue to punish you?" ”

Wu Qingquan looked at his mother, his eyes lit up, his mother spoke, he didn't hurry up and slip away at this moment, but he had no brains.

"Mmmm, mother, it's too late, I'll go back to sleep!"

After saying this, he ran to his house, and he decided to sleep with the dog and the boy tonight, and he would not go back to his grandfather's house for a few days.

Let's go back to the study at this moment and learn about the situation of a few people.

When Wu Tong arrived in the house, he knelt down in front of Grandpa Wu when he saw the oil lamp on, and he couldn't help but want to cry a little, thinking about the poverty and quarrels at home, and some unknowns about the future, he gritted his teeth and opened his mouth.

"Grandpa Wu, I came today to discuss something with you."

Grandpa Wu was also startled when he saw Wu Tong kneeling on the ground as soon as he came over, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull up the child.

"You kid, what do you have to say when you stand up and say, and I'm still on my knees?"

"Grandpa Wu, you are also my elder, and you should kneel, I came today to tell you about the situation in our family. I won't hide it from you, our family has saved less than ten taels of silver so far, including the four taels of silver given by the officers and soldiers last time, and you know that my great-grandfather owed a lot of foreign debts before his death a few years ago, and this is also less than two years since it was repaid, and it can be saved. ”

The more Grandpa Wu heard this, the more he felt that something was wrong, so what did this mean?

"Your dad asked you to come? Are you trying to get out of the marriage? Still not planning to pay the bride price? When Grandpa Wu said this, he couldn't help but become stern.

"No, Grandpa Wu, I assure you, I will definitely not be able to do that kind of unconscionable thing, I came today to tell you about the situation in my family, I don't want to borrow money from my family to marry a daughter-in-law. But I don't want to live up to your value, I promise you that I will definitely not treat Qingmei badly in the future. If you fancy me, you say the number of bride price, and it is this number to the outside world, and I will work hard to earn money in the future, and I will definitely make up for this money. Manly man, I can't affect my family and Qingmei in the future, and I will live with me in the future, with today and no tomorrow. ”

Grandpa Wu and Father Wu looked at Wu Tong, if this boy is not very scheming, he will calculate, and he can kneel down and say these words today, which proves that this person will not be bad, and he is a bit responsible.

"Wu Tong, let me ask you, what do you think of Qingmei's divorce?" Grandpa Wu thought about it, but he still planned to test it.

Wu Tong looked at the people in the room, his back was straight, today's behavior was already the most out of the ordinary thing he had done, and his nervous fists were clenched all the time.

"I haven't thought about what to think of Qingmei, I just think that the man's behavior is too unlike that of a manly man, if we Wujia Village want to rely on clinging to the powerful eunuchs, there will definitely be problems after a few generations."

Grandpa Wu and Wu Qingzhu were a little surprised when they said this, to be honest, what Wu Tong said, the elders in the village have also discussed, but who can give up this wealth in front of them? They all just see the present, not thinking about the future.

"Yes, once the big tree decays from the heel, it will not be far from falling, you who have never read the book understand the truth, but they can't see clearly, you get up, stand up and speak."

Wu Qingzhu on the side hurriedly walked over to help Wu Tong, who was still kneeling on the ground, and couldn't help but glance at him at this moment.

"Grandpa Wu, you ...... This is ......" Wu Tong had a little delusion, Grandpa Wu seemed to agree, but the elders didn't say it explicitly, and they weren't sure, so they asked tentatively.

"Well, I promised to marry my granddaughter to you, just because I fancy you as a person, our family will not let the girl marry and suffer for money, as for the bride price you said, everyone in a village knows what the situation is, and we don't rely on these to earn face. When the time comes, you can take out eight kinds of dowry gifts, one kind of silver jewelry, and only need to invite relatives and people in the village for the banquet, and you don't need to make a big deal for a few days. ”

Wu Tong didn't react to Grandpa Wu's words for a long time, and when Grandpa Wu saw this kid like this, he couldn't help frowning: "What, not satisfied?" Don't want any of this? ”
