Chapter 21: Aunt Ding

Grandpa Ding's hair and beard are gray, and he is seventy years old this year, which is considered a high life in the local area. It is said that peace of mind is longevity, but Grandpa Ding is a violent temper, the two villages are close to each other, and everything in the village is also breathless, and he has heard about Xi Hongdou.

Grandpa Ding is a calf protector, but anyone who doesn't listen to it will be directly scolded back by Grandpa Ding, so that no one dares to mention the troubles of Xi Hongdou in person, and everyone doesn't even want to ask, for fear that no one can afford to make a fuss with the old man!

Xi Hongdou responded with a smile, and after sprinkling the flowers in his hand, he entered the house.

Uncle Ding said at this time: "Your aunt just likes vegetable melons, so she has to plant them, so it's freezing, come and warm your hands." ”

"It's okay, I'm not cold." Xi Hongdou said with a smile, but as soon as the words fell, Aunt Ding came in with a basin and said, "I have a fire burning on this stove, and I can't be busy, if you have the kung fu, help me knead it." ”

Uncle Ding looked at it and said, "The child just finished sprinkling rapeseed for you, you have to let people rest!" ”

Xi Hongdou took the basin and said, "It's okay, you can knead it." ”

When Aunt Ding saw that Xi Hongdou took it, she smiled and said, "It's still Hongdou sensible!" After that, he went to the stove and watched the fire, and it didn't matter if he was sitting.

Xi Hongdou knew that Aunt Ding was a lazy daughter-in-law, and she had not been idle in the past two days, and Aunt Ding would only give her as long as she was too lazy to do work.

Uncle Ding was helpless, so he said: "Red beans, don't take it to heart, your aunt is lazy!" ”

"It's fine." Xi Hongdou can't help it, she is also here to hide now, Fang Guifen is now staying in the Xi family to help, and the lease period of the county house has also arrived, and she wants to live in the county seat alone, and the Xi family's parents can't agree, so she can only come to her grandfather to settle down temporarily. And Aunt Ding must not be happy that others live in her own house, and it is reasonable that she feels awkward, she is disturbing the quiet life of others, so if you are wronged, you should be wronged.

Grandpa Ding sighed, and said, "I'm old..."Now the family affairs are also in charge of the son and daughter-in-law, even if he loses his temper, he doesn't dare to make a big fuss, his children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and he is asking for trouble if he intervenes again.

Xi Hongdou just kneaded the dough, and it was not difficult, after kneading it, Aunt Ding asked her to sweep the yard again, and after sweeping the yard, she fed the chickens, and the work was constant. Fortunately, Xi Hongdou is also boring, he works and doesn't say anything else.

The only son of the uncle's family took his daughter-in-law to build another tiled house in the east of the village, and I heard that the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was not good, so they have been living separately.

In the evening, Aunt Ding asked Uncle Ding while lying on the kang and said, "Is it true that Hongdou can't get married?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, it's nothing!" Uncle Ding said.

Aunt Ding couldn't sleep either, so she sat up and said, "My mother's family has a distant nephew, and the family runs a grain and oil store, why don't you give red beans?" ”

Seeing that Aunt Ding, who had never been very reliable, could say such a thing, Uncle Ding came to his senses, and he also sat up and asked, "Where did you come from a distant nephew?" Why have I never heard of you? ”

"It's also eight poles apart, and there is such a person!" Aunt Ding said: "The family has a little extra money, and I don't have to worry about food and clothing, but it's ......."

"What's it? Old? Uncle Ding asked: "If you are not too old, you can talk about it." "As long as a man is not too old, it is not a problem, and he is stable when he is old.

Aunt Ding shook her head: "It's not old, it's lame......"

"What? Crippled? Cripple, you still talk about a fart, you dare to say a lame leg to Hongdou, do you believe that my sister can come to the door and beat your leg lame? After Uncle Ding finished speaking, he quickly lay down, and he said that his daughter-in-law was unreliable!

Aunt Ding was speechless: "The eldest sister has to thank me for this, or Hongdou really can't marry for the rest of his life, although my nephew is lame, but he can make money, he is the only one in the family, if it weren't for the lame leg, he would have said kiss a long time ago, if I want to say, the vision of Hongdou can't be too high!" After speaking, he poked Uncle Ding with his elbow and said: "You too, you should also be persuaded as an uncle, and the eldest sister can't spoil this girl too much, the girl in the village can just find one to marry, and if the vision is too high, I am afraid that there will be no good end, and when the time comes, I will find the worst one!" Especially now that Xi Hongdou is still "complicated", generally good people don't want to get this fishy, it's good to be willing to marry, what more do you need to have four eyes? !

The more Uncle Ding listened, the more he felt disliked, and hurriedly said: "Don't let Hongdou listen to this, let alone our father, or scold you to death!" His father protects the calf very well, and he really says that he is in a hurry, but he doesn't care about it, and it won't end well when the trouble comes.

Aunt Ding didn't have much patience, so she said, "Okay, I know, I served your family all this day, but in the end I became a wicked person!" "The daughter-in-law is at odds with her, and her father-in-law doesn't look down on her, she has been a cow and a horse in this family for so many years, and she is not as good as a Xi Hongdou!

Uncle Ding sighed, his daughter-in-law is so careful, and she has been like this in this life, what else can he say?

The next day, when Xi Hongdou was helping to light the fire, Aunt Ding came over and said, "Hongdou, you are not young anymore, why don't you tell you about your family?" ”

When Xi Hongdou heard this, he raised his eyebrows, and then said with a smile: "Don't bother my aunt......"

"Don't bother, it's actually good for my aunt to tell you about this family matter, now everyone thinks that you don't dare to mention your family, but my aunt knows this person but can't dislike you! But the other party is a little bad with his legs and feet, but you also have to look at your own situation, right? You can't be too ambitious! Aunt Ding said.

Xi Hongdou sighed in her heart, when did she Xi Hongdou get mixed up to this point?

"I really don't need to, don't be wronged." She is really "afraid of marriage" now, and whoever said that she would "introduce someone" to her would be uncomfortable. This Aunt Ding is really "kind", and she also introduced her to the lame, and persuaded her not to be too high-minded?

Aunt Ding said endlessly at this time: "Hongdou, my aunt is really for your good, you can't never marry for the rest of your life, right?" If this girl is too old, she really won't be worth much! ”

For Xi Hongdou, it is her freedom to marry or not, and there is no need for her to force herself to marry someone she doesn't know or even like for the sake of the words "women should marry", just to block those leisurely mouths? To tell the truth, those who speak ugly can't stop people's ambition to spew feces all over their mouths, and if you really want to shut up those long-tongued women and lose their minds and lose their minds and lose themselves, then they are really stupid!

"I really don't bother my aunt!" Xi Hongdou stood up after speaking, she didn't want to listen to Aunt Ding's "brainwashing" anymore, she Xi Hongdou was worth it or not, she knew in her heart.

"Look at this kid!" I didn't want to hear Xi Hongdou when I saw it, Aunt Ding's face changed again, and I wondered in my heart that Xi Hongdou was so picky, there would always be a day when I cried!

…………

The Xi family was also worried about Xi Hongdou's relatives, and Xi's sister-in-law hurriedly went to the ridge to call Daddy Xi back, and on the way, she also told the Xiao family about the marriage, and Daddy Xi was stunned when he heard it.

"People like the Xiao family come to our house to propose?" When Father Xi heard this, he also felt that the Xiao family was messing around, but at this time, listening to what his daughter-in-law and eldest daughter-in-law said were basically the same, he began to feel embarrassed in his heart.

To be honest, now someone who is willing to take the risk of "Kefu" to propose marriage is considered a good candidate, as long as he is not a pure lazy man like Zhao Tiezhu, even if his family background is a little worse, he can nod. But now that someone like the Xiao family has come to propose, he really doesn't know what to do.

The second elder of the Xi family and the two daughters-in-law were silent all of a sudden, not knowing what to do.

Sister-in-law Xi saw that everyone didn't speak, so she opened her mouth and said: "Dad, mother, I think otherwise I will agree, if I miss this village, I am afraid that there is really no such shop, and I am afraid that this Yunzhou City will not find a better person than the Xiao family." "Xi Hongdou can live the life of a young grandmother if she marries in the past, and she will suffer less hardships in the future.

Father Xi felt that it was inappropriate, so he said: "This will make people think that our Xi family has climbed high, and the mother's family is much worse, and red beans will be looked down upon in the in-law's family in the future." I heard that the rules of those big families are bigger than the sky, although our daughters are well-educated, but in case they don't do well...... "The daughter who marries out is the water that is spilled, if the in-laws are too strong, they don't want to learn how to grind, he raised his daughter so big, but he didn't let the family learn."

Daddy Xi's spoiled daughter is also well known, and everyone is afraid that Xi Hongdou will not be able to live a comfortable life after climbing the Xiao family.

Everyone was at an impasse again all of a sudden, and they didn't know what to do.

Early the next morning, Daddy Xi didn't rush to the field, and Aunt Xi waited for Steward Wu at home, before Aunt Xi heard that Steward Wu meant that the elders of the Xiao family didn't seem to have really nodded, even if they agreed to the family matter, they would have trouble in the end, so it was better to refuse directly.

In the morning, the chief steward of Wu came again, and the two elders of the Xi family went to the door to greet people, just in time to see Zhao Tiezhu dangling at the door again.

Zhao Tiezhu didn't know what the reason for Wu Daguan's affairs, but looking at the attitude of the Xi family, and the fact that these people were carrying so many things, fools could see that they were here to propose marriage.

Aunt Xi was a little upset when she saw Zhao Tiezhu, and after inviting the chief steward Wu to enter the door, she whispered to Zhao Tiezhu: "Tiezhu, my aunt really thinks that you and red beans are not suitable, don't hang yourself on this tree anymore, there are so many girls in the village, you should also take a look!" ”

Zhao Tiezhu shook his head: "Auntie, I think I and Hongdou are just right, I don't dislike Hongdou Kefu, if those people who just entered knew Hongdou Kefu, would they still dare to propose marriage?" In the end, I am the only one who is willing to marry red beans! ”

Aunt Xi hurriedly told Zhao Tiezhu to shut up, and said: "Don't talk nonsense, my red beans are not Kefu, don't blame me for not being merciful if you mess around like this!" After speaking, he turned around and went back to the courtyard, and the gate was closed, isolating Zhao Tiezhu from the gate!
