CHAPTER XXXI

Zhong Liguo blinked, looked at his mother, and said with a blank face

"Mother, what you said costs money to eat and drink. Then I'm going to ask you, Flower, why is her wedding dress locked in your cupboard?"

The mother-in-law was even more unpolite, she was a little bit of a scoundrel, and said angrily

"Fruit, you tell me directly, what do you mean, I have never seen a son like you. I didn't pay to raise you. ”

Zhong Liguo also stared at him, and said with a straight face

"The wedding dress is my wife's, it's flowered, not yours.

Since you dislike her eating and staining you, obediently return the wedding dress to Lihua.

Unless, you don't bother about eating and spending in the future. ”

The mother-in-law was annoyed, stomped her foot, and rebuked loudly

"You are not filial, you married a daughter-in-law and forgot your mother."

Zhong Liguo directly shouted angrily

"You don't come to this set."

The angry mother-in-law turned around to find the bolt stick blocking the door. She's going to beat up this son.

Zhong Liguo was angry, walked up to the old wooden box, and pulled the small lock that locked the cabinet.

The old man came back from outside, in the field, and when he entered the bedroom door, he saw that the mother and son were about to fight.

The old clock shouted

"Nonsense, stay aside."

The mother and son stopped tossing and stood there silently. The mother-in-law was very interested and hurriedly waited for the old hour.

She quickly took the hookah, carefully refilled the hookah, and lit the fire. Relieved

"Old man, why did you come back so early, didn't you come back after lunch at the second father's house?"

The old man took the hookah, took a puff, and the hookah bubbled.

Stretch your waist comfortably and say slowly

"Second father, said: He doesn't have a daughter-in-law at home. Ask me what to do.

What can I do, only don't say anything, I'm back by myself, it's just a ringing lunch, what if I don't eat! ”

"It's hard to do it, I don't have a bite to eat at home."

The mother-in-law said with a smile

"What did you say, why did you take gunpowder. are all angry, what's this. ”

Old man Zhong touched his head and echoed

"The day before yesterday, I drank more wine at the wedding of the fruit, and today I was dazed. Oh, what are you two doing?"

Zhong Liguo said unhappily

"My mother said that she had married a daughter-in-law. Just live by yourself. I dislike me and Lihua for eating at home. ”

Zhong Laohan looked at his wife and asked

"I, I heard you two talk about Xiaohua's wedding dress or something, old woman. That's someone's little flower's wedding dress, you will return the clothes later. ”

When the mother-in-law heard this, she became angry and said aggrievedly

"The wedding dress is not an ordinary thing, just the sea pearl inlaid with filigree, that one is money."

Zhong Laohan, smoking a shisha "cough, cough, cough" coughed for a long time.

The hookah didn't bubble, and the old man Zhong who choked directly coughed. Taking a slow breath, Zhong Laohan said in a deep voice

"Old woman, return it, it's Xiaohua's wedding dress. Don't provoke tongues. ”

The mother-in-law shook her head helplessly and agreed

"I felt that at the wedding, there were many people in the family, and everything was messy, so I made my own mind and put it away. I'll return it."

The mother-in-law walked over to the old wooden box, took out the key from her waist, and opened the lock.

Bowing down, cautiously, he took out the wedding dress, looked at the dress carefully, and finally handed it to Zhong Liguo.

Zhong Liguo didn't back down, he actively took the wedding dress, and when he walked out, he saw Xiaohua standing at the door.

He smiled and laughed

"Lihua, this is yours, your own things, take it away yourself in the future, my mother is old, I won't keep it for you in the future"

Xiaohua was surprised, but didn't say anything, just obediently hugged herself, the ball of clothes.

Zhong Laohan looked at the door and said

"Little flower, Ao, Lihua. You go and put your clothes away first, and store the precious things well. ”

Xiaohua heard her husband's words and walked back to the cave room by herself.

She went back to her room, opened the old camphor box, and looked at it.

Xiaohua smiled slightly.

I thought, old camphor wood box, no one deserves to collect this dress, or you still store them.

The dress and you are a family.

Grandma, she is really well-intentioned, give me the dress and continue, you must move your old camphor wood box, it seems that grandma expected that only you two will always be a family.

Thinking silently in her heart, Xiaohua took out her clothes one by one.

Store the wedding dress carefully.

Then she took out a small gold lock that had been hidden in her trouser pocket, and locked the old camphor box again. After sorting out these, Xiaohua looked at it with satisfaction, the old camphor box, and thought to herself, grandma, you are a master.

Ay! I'm already like this, and I can't go to see you anymore.

Zhong Liguo walked in and said to Xiaohua

"Come to Daddy, I have something to say to us"

Xiaohua silently walked into the hall where she had just eaten, and Zhong Laohan sat alone on the side of the large square table, having already finished smoking the hookah.

The mother-in-law also sat quietly on the other side, and Xiaohua understood at a glance that this was a serious matter at home and she wanted to talk about.

Zhong Laohan looked at the little flower that walked in and said gently

"Lihua, you from now on. It's the woman of my old Zhong family.

I hope you remember that your mother-in-law is your teacher, and she has to learn to do housework, serve the family to eat, and do laundry.

Tidy up, be a good child, and wait a few more years, and you will grow up to have a round house with your fruit brother.

Give us a fat doll for our old couple. This is something you have to do later. Do you remember. Don't forget. ”

Xiaohua listened silently, looked up at the old clock, and said bluntly

"Dad, I know, I'm from the Zhong family, this principle is the same there. However, I have a request.

I'm going to go to the city, in Grandma Chang's dance troupe to learn art.

Well, I inquired, I can work in a dance troupe while I learn. It's just that there is no food or accommodation in the dance troupe.

However, the dance troupe doesn't want my tuition.

Please, mother-in-law, please, father, and Brother Guozi. Promise me!

All my dreams are dancing. Just let me go to the dance company to learn art. I'll just be a cow and a horse at home. ”

After speaking, Xiaohua fell to her knees on the ground. Kowtow seriously all the time. Xiaohua's appearance is pitiful.

Zhong Liguo couldn't stand it for a long time. Pull up the small flowers as soon as they are handful.

I stroked Xiaohua's forehead very distressedly. Carefully pat the clothes on Xiaohua's body, because she knelt on the ground just now, hanging the dust on it.

The old clock looked at Xiaohua silently and didn't speak for a long time. The mother-in-law was unceremoniously deliberate, so she turned her head away and didn't look at it.

Zhong Liguo said simply

"Leave the flowers, go, I promise you. I'll send you to Grandma Chang's dance troupe. No need to be at home, do what cattle and horses.

What's mine is yours. Daddy, the days to come. I don't play anymore, I'll go to work in the fields with you, and go up to the mountains to hunt.

I'm with the home of the flowers, and I'll feed you.

However, I think you're getting older. So, just live together.

The matter of making money at home, Zhong Liguo. I. to bear. ”

Xiaohua looked at Zhong Liguo, for the first time in her life, she felt that in addition to her grandmother, she had met someone who gave her such warmth.

It's actually this.,The man who has always kept his fear in his heart.。

Xiaohua hugged it movingly, Zhong Liguo. Zhong Liguo pushed Xiaohua away in a hurry and said nervously

"Lihua, don't be like this. It's good for you to be happy. I can't see you, I'm not happy. ”

The small flower only gently let go, Zhong Liguo.

She understood Zhong Liguo's difficulties, Zhong Liguo was an adult man, and he really hadn't come into contact with young girls. was hugged by Xiaohua so impulsively, and I suffered there.

He was already hot and a little excited, and in front of his parents, he had been barely controlling himself.

On the first day, getting married was Zhong Liguo's happiest day.

The next day, the newlywed is Xiaohua's happiest day.

On this day, everyone rejoiced.

Xiaohua has been very diligent in cooperating with her mother-in-law at noon to make meals.

Serve a good meal to the men of the family. Xiaohua was the last to eat on the table, and her husband and eldest husband were also very reasonable, waiting for Xiaohua to sit down before moving the chopsticks. Everyone eats together.

Zhong Liguo was about to take his first bite of rice, when his old father suddenly stopped him

"Son, you can have a few drinks with me today, so you don't have to sneak out and drink flower wine in the future. Drink with your dad at home"

Zhong Liguo looked at his old father gratefully and said

"Dad, I don't drink, I don't like to drink in the first place, I used to drink, I deliberately went to get close to the second young man" Zhong Laohan looked at his son very seriously, nodded, and said

"I, my son, am a character. And, you went to the center of the city to have fun because you were trying to marry a wife, okay. With yours, good son. To be a man, you must be able to bend and stretch. ”

Zhong Laohan was happy and ran to the wine cellar to take a breath, poured the boss's wine jug full of sorghum wine, and poured himself a drink.

At lunchtime, Zhong Laohan got drunk again. This marriage was concluded, and the old man was happier than his son.

Old man Zhong thought in his heart, don't look at your Shurakshasa as the lord of a city, my old Zhong is your Shurakshasa rightful in-laws. I am poorer than you, but my son is still married to your own daughter.

In the past few days, visiting relatives has been a must-do for young couples.

But in Peacock City, because after winter, there is a lot of work to reserve grain, and it has to be arranged. And it is necessary to do a good job of storing all the wild boar meat that comes back from hunting.

This keeps families busy. Shurakshasa is even more busy, and he has no idleness.

Peacock Villas has a different regional environment, and the city is located in the nest of Peacock Mountain.

Such a special geographical location surrounded by mountains makes the winter of Peacock Villas relatively long.

Only when the snow in Peacock Mountain melts is over, does winter pass.

During the long winter, the population of an entire city has to eat.

So the wise people began to dig cellars in the late autumn season to store all the necessities needed for winter.

And many necessities must be prepared in abundance, such as table salt, which is the food that must be stored more in the winter.

In the winter, it is the busiest in the season before the onset of winter. In the coldest winter, every family is living a peaceful life at home bathing in hot springs, drinking, singing, dancing, playing cards, and having fun.

Everything in Peacock Villas can be produced and sold by itself, but there is no salt.

You have to leave your hometown of Peacock Villas and go to a far away place to buy salt.

Therefore, in the late autumn season of this year, Shurakshasa will transfer troops to buy generals, and personally lead the team to that distant place in exchange for salt.

Shurakshasa has a hundred in his heart, and he doesn't plan to take his son-in-law to exchange for salt.
