Hearing this, the woman scowled, and said, "Zhoujia Village is seventy or eighty miles away from here, and I left before dawn. ”

"It's snowing again, and it's cold and hungry......"

The blacksmith Luo instructed Luo Fengtang: "Tang Yanzi, you can get your aunt something to eat, and pad your stomach." ”

"Hmm!"

Luo Fengtang answered, turned around and walked out of the hall.

Yang Ruoqing also followed, leaving space for the old brother and sister.

"Tang Yanzi, I'll heat it up."

She said.

Luo Fengtang nodded and sat down at the stove to stuff firewood.

See how preoccupied he looks.

Yang Ruoqing asked him while hot dishes: "That person is your aunt?" ”

Luo Fengtang nodded: "I have three uncles and brothers, my father is second, and my aunt is the youngest daughter." ”

Yang Ruoqing: "Oh. "Yes.

I really didn't know that Luo Fengtang had an aunt before.

Listening to the aunt who reported her family before, it was like marrying in Zhoujia Village.

Zhoujia Village?

Isn't that the maiden home of the fifth aunt Bao Suyun's sister-in-law?

"My aunt is here, you should be happy, why do you stretch your face?"

She asked again with a smile.

Luo Fengtang shook his head and squeezed out a wry smile.

"My aunt hasn't walked around with my house for more than ten years." He said.

"Why don't you move around? She doesn't want her mother's house? Yang Ruoqing asked.

In this era, a woman who marries outside wants a hard waist.

There are two main conditions to rely on.

One is that he can give birth to a son to his husband's family and pass on the lineage.

And then there's the power of the mother's family.

There are many brothers in her mother's family, her fists are big, and she has enough confidence to speak in her husband's house.

quarreled with her husband and concubines, and her mother's brothers came over to kill her, and the scene stood up.

Therefore, a woman who marries outside will not want her mother's family.

But there are exceptions.

At the stove, Luo Fengtang frowned when he heard Yang Ruoqing's question.

"At that time, my uncle took me with me, I was still young, and I couldn't go up to the mountains to hunt."

"In those years, my family had no land and no land, just in time for the most difficult years......

Luo Fengtang didn't pick too clearly, but Yang Ruoqing understood.

It's nothing more than that Luo Da'e dislikes her mother's family, not only can't she give her husband a face.

Her mother's brother often came to borrow money and food, so that she couldn't hold her head up at her husband's house.

So, there was a year at the bottom.

The blacksmith Luo carried the six-year-old Luo Fengtang to borrow 20 yuan from her for the New Year's expenses.

was poured cold by Luo Da'e with a basin of cold water, and had a quarrel, saying that they would sever their relationship from now on and never get along.

"Hey!"

After listening to Luo Fengtang's story, Yang Ruoqing sighed lightly.

"No one asks about the poor in the downtown area, but the rich have distant relatives in the mountains, that's probably what they say!" She said.

What mother-in-law pressed her head, and her body couldn't help herself.

It's all.

One word: money!

Luo Fengtang nodded.

"My uncle and I both understand that it is we who are poor. You can't give your aunt a long face, and you can't drag her back. ”

"Since then, my uncle and I have never been to Zhoujia Village again. My aunt never returned to Changping Village. He said.

"And what about this time? Why did your aunt brave the heavy snow and go back to her parents' house? Yang Ruoqing asked again.

Conscience findings?

No way!

For this question, Luo Fengtang is also a little confused.

"I don't know why. However, I heard my uncle say that last time your fifth aunt came to the door, the matchmaker invited by the woman was my aunt. ”

He said.

"That **** uncle also went to your fifth uncle to drink and met my sister-in-law."

"However, no one at the table paid attention to anyone. Unexpectedly, she is here today! ”

That's right......

Yang Ruoqing narrowed her eyes.

On the day the fifth aunt passed the door, her family didn't have the opportunity to go to the front banquet to see the guests.

Naturally, she didn't see that the matchmaker on the woman's side turned out to be Luo Fengtang's aunt.

Wait a minute......

Something suddenly occurred to her.

"Tang Yanzi, you say, could it be that after your aunt's family went, I heard Mrs. Zhou talk about your family."

"I know that your family is going to buy land, so your aunt ran back to recognize relatives?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

I thought I would cut off contact with the poor mother's family.

But suddenly I heard that the poor mother's family was going to buy a field.

The field is the lifeblood of the farmer's family, and buying the field is a great joy that can be passed on to the family.

Therefore, Luo Da'e smelled that her mother's house was a sign that she was going to send it.

So, the fart came back to pick it up?

Hearing Yang Ruoqing's analysis, Luo Fengtang was silent.

He pondered the words earnestly.

I think it makes sense!

The sister-in-law didn't come early or late, and she pinched his family to buy land.

"Tang Yanzi, I've heated up the rest of the stir-fry. How hot is this rabbit and braised pork? ”

Yang Ruoqing took out two bowls and asked Luo Fengtang.

An open sea bowl is full of rabbit meat.

In the other open sea bowl, there is a small half bowl of braised pork.

"Do you want to stay, and go back to tomorrow when you two eat?"

She asked again.

Luo Fengtang glanced up.

"Don't stay, it's all hot." He said.

Yang Ruoqing was secretly surprised.

Tang Lingzi is really open-minded.

It's her, for such a superb relative.

Mo said that all these meat dishes were hot, even a bowl of tea, and she didn't give it.

It seemed that she was a little disapproving in her heart.

Luo Fengtang explained in a deep voice: "No matter what, it's snowing heavily, and it's not easy to come here." ”

"When you enter the door, you are a guest, let's treat her to her full meal first, and it should be regarded as doing good deeds and accumulating virtue."

Yang Ruoqing nodded.

This is the family matter of the old Luo family, and it is inconvenient for her to say anything.

Then the hot dish is served.

I warmed up all the leftovers of lunch.

Then Luo Fengtang found a tray, put the hot dishes on the tray, and sent them to the hall.

Yang Ruoqing held a bowl of rice and followed behind with chopsticks.

In the hall, Blacksmith Luo and Luo Da'e sat facing each other.

The blacksmith sat there smoking a cigarette with a dry tobacco stick.

Luo Da'e was holding the contract to buy the land in her hand, and she was almost unable to find her eyes with a smile.

The woman sighed while looking at the contract: "Big brother, you and Tang are good." Our old Luo family finally has a field again! ”

"Work hard in the future, and work harder, our old Luo family's field subway will definitely be more and more!"

Blacksmith Luo nodded: "I'm old, and it's all Tang Lingzi who will come to trouble." ”

Luo Da'e asked again: "I heard Mrs. Zhou say that you still plan to build a new house within the year?" ”

"Ouch, this is a great event, when will the construction start, you must have a message with me."

"I'll ask your brother-in-law and nephew to come and help."

Luo Blacksmith said: "Zhoujia Village is far from here, **ten miles away, so you don't have to work on them......"

Luo Da'e waved her hand: "Oh, it's all a family, big brother, what are you doing with these foreign words?" ”

Blacksmith Luo said: "My family is not building a new house, but renovating the old house. ”

Luo Da'e's eyes flashed: "It costs a lot of money to renovate it, right?" ”

Luo blacksmith said: "Four taels of silver is almost!" ”
