Chapter 228: Don't Let Your Daughter Suffer (Second Watch)
"When the pig is sold, buy some gifts or something, find a double day, and pick up the girl from the Bao family." Old Yang Tou continued to calculate.
Tan listened silently, while giving Lao Yang Tou a foot massage.
"Mrs. Zhou is the matchmaker on our side, and then I will ask the Bao family to find a matchmaker and make up an even number." He said.
"Hmm." Tan answered.
Estimating that the water was a little cold, Tan hurriedly wiped Lao Yang's feet.
Lao Yang Tou thought of something, and asked Tan again: "Count the days, the fourth daughter-in-law should give birth, right?" ”
Tan Shi thought for a while and said, "This is the tenth day of the first month, almost the end of the month. ”
"Well, during this time, you and the eldest daughter-in-law share more of the housework." Old Yang Tou advised.
Tan sneered at this.
"What woman doesn't have children? On the day the third daughter-in-law gave birth to Xiao'an, she carried two buckets of clothes to wash it in the last day! ”
Old Yang said: "You can't say that. The third daughter-in-law is used to working hard, and she is solid. ”
"The fourth daughter-in-law is squeamish, and she can't compare with the third daughter-in-law......"
When Tan heard this, he was not happy.
She threw the handkerchief in her hand into the basin and stood up in a huff.
"Why do daughters-in-law give birth to children, it's my mother-in-law who worries about it, you are a father-in-law, ask so much, aren't afraid of people's jokes? There's your son in between! ”
Old Yang's face darkened.
"Why do you think so badly of people?"
"Humph!"
Tan stood aside and snorted.
Old Yang Tou frowned, not wanting to argue with the Tan family on this kind of matter.
He knows that if a woman messes around, she won't be able to argue for three days and three nights!
"In the future, I won't ask about the daughters-in-law, so you don't have to think about it!"
Old Yang Tou said, pointing to the half-wiped foot in the basin and instructing Tan: "Quickly wipe it for me!" ”
Tan pouted, squatted back again, and then wiped Lao Yang's feet.
"You don't care about what you should worry about. If you shouldn't be in charge, ask questions. ”
Tan complained.
Old Yang was surprised: "What didn't I care about?" Tell me about it. ”
Tan said: "Buy land in three rooms, you are happy." The fourth daughter-in-law gave birth to a child, and you were in a hurry. You don't even ask about our Mei'er! ”
"What's wrong with Mei'er?" Old Yang was surprised.
"She eats, drinks and lies down all day long, such a big girl's house, what can she do?" Old Yang asked.
Tan shook his head, looking worried.
"Our daughter is older, and some of her thoughts have moved, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay for two years!" Tan said.
Old Yang Tou smashed it out of these words, and it came out of some taste.
"Mei'er Niang, you said it all, is our Mei'er the offspring of someone's family?"
Tan nodded.
Knowing the daughter Mo Ruomu, although the daughter didn't say it explicitly, she was a person from the past.
From the girl's appearance, talking, reacting......
I'm afraid I really like that kid!
"Which family is the descendant? You mean! Old Yang was anxious and asked there.
Tan came back to his senses and frowned: "Old Luo's Tang son! ”
"What?"
Old Yang was shocked, and his mouth was open enough to stuff an egg!
"How so? The two of them, but they can't be beaten with eight poles! ”
Old Yang Tou was so shocked that he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
"However, then again, Tang Lingzi is really not bad, our Mei'er has a vision!" Old Yang Tou sighed.
"Humph!"
Tan snorted, pursed his lips, and said angrily, "What kind of eyes do you have?" What's so good about that kid? ”
"I don't have a father or a mother, I live with the old bachelor of Blacksmith Luo, and my family is poor and white."
"That's it, that kid is still a hunter, and he goes into the mountains to hunt all year round, and his head is pinned to the waistband of his trousers."
"If we Mei'er marry him, some of them will suffer hardship, and we have to worry about it all the time."
"Maybe that day, that kid won't be able to come back when he enters the mountain, and we Mei'er will have to be widowed......"
The more Tan thought about it, the more scared he became, and in the end he couldn't go on!
Listening to Tan's analysis, Lao Yang Tou was also silent.
Left in the village's house, no land, no father and no mother, even if the kid himself is not bad, it will not work out after all!
"Mei Er Niang, then you talk to me about this, do you have any plans?"
Old Yang Tou immediately asked Tan.
Tan said: "My five sons only got such a daughter, and they raised so much in their hearts and livers. ”
"I won't agree to let her go to Lao Luo's house to suffer that crime!"
"Mei'er's father, I'm thinking about it, let's hurry up and give Zhang Luo's marriage to the fifth child, and take over and find a good in-law for us Mei'er to follow!" 、
"After finding my mother-in-law's house, our Mei'er's mind will naturally turn, and we will be at ease." Tan said.
Lao Yang's face showed a trace of embarrassment: "Just our Mei'er's appearance, I'm afraid it's a little difficult to find a mother-in-law who is our heart for everything!" ”
Tan Shi was a little annoyed when he heard this.
"What's our girl like? Our girl is white and chubby, big ass, good to give birth to, Wangfu! ”
Old Yang was silent.
He just said the truth.
From a man's aesthetic point of view, a girl is not very pleasing like this.
Tan is very proud of the daughter he has trained, and he is still thinking there: "Our Mei'er can't do needlework, and we won't be able to serve our in-laws if we get married." ”
"It doesn't hurt. It's a big deal that I give her more dowry, and she can still be confident in her in-law's house! ”
Old Yang nodded: "Cheng!" Then do as you say, call Chen Butcher over to lead the pig in the past two days! ”
"Hmm!"
……
In the countryside, food and clothing are all based on the little points in the fields.
After deducting the excesses and miscellaneous taxes and rents, the little money is only for food and clothing, and there is not much living money left.
But a family has a lot of things to manage.
Building a house, moving, getting married, visiting relatives and friends, and the elderly pass away......
You can't do it with a little living money on hand!
Therefore, raising pigs, chickens and ducks is indispensable.
From the beginning of the year to the end of the year, it was not easy to raise the little piglets into fat and strong pigs.
When it comes to selling, it's a big deal!
The next day, Tan invited Chen Butcher to his home.
Lao Yang Tou took Yang Hua'an, Yang Hualin, Yang Huazhou and Yang Yongqing and other children and grandchildren, all accompanied Chen Butcher to watch the pigs by the pigsty in the backyard.
The movement in the yard alarmed Yang Huazhong in the house.
The man sat in a wheelchair, was pushed out of the house by Yang Ruoqing, and sat under the wall to bask in the sun.
He lay in bed for more than a month and never saw the sun.
The face was a little sickly pale.
However, the head of the spirit is not bad.
He sat there, smiling at the pigsty of the old Yang family opposite.
Behind her, Yang Ruoqing stood there obediently, holding a bowl of brewed tea in her hand, and also looked at it curiously.
I only listened to the Chen butcher to comment on the big fat pig for sale.
What is the deep pig hair, the thick pig skin, and the lack of fat......
She summed it up, and the Chen butcher was picking the bones in the egg, trying to reject the price of Jiuwen per catty proposed by Lao Yang Tou.
