Chapter 70 Zhi Xing expressed his position
After thinking of this layer, the faint throbbing in the past few months of getting along with each other seems to have eyebrows, he is young, occasionally red-faced, and the heartfelt love for Chungui is often attributed to the awkwardness of his youth, today he made a decision on Cai's matter, and after a sudden epiphany, these emotions accumulated over time also have a reason, he should be interested in Chungui.
He drank the rest of the tea from the bowl.
The young man next to him laughed loudly and wondered, "What are you laughing at?" ”
Qi You shook his head: "I just want to understand something." ”
When Qi You returned to the stall, the stall of Chun Hui had long been empty, and he was packing up the dozen or so dishes he had brought out, Cai didn't know that the crisis was approaching, and was laughing and gossiping with the people next to him.
The two women have their own circumstances, but they are still living under the sun. Only Qi You himself knows that the peaceful days will not last long, and according to Li Lan's temperament, it will be either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
Because of his brother and sister-in-law, he is cold by nature, and a little of his hard work has been invisibly given to Chungui and a few of the Liu family, although there is a trace of pity for the Cai family in his heart, but it is just a blind emotion that comes and goes.
After watching from a distance for a while, he approached, and Chungui couldn't help but be disgusted when he saw him coming: "Where have you been, it's been a long time." ”
"Where's the book you bought?"
Seeing that he was empty-handed, she asked casually.
Qi You shook his head: "Sold out." ”
Chungui hurriedly stopped what he was doing, and said worriedly: "Does it matter?" What's missing that might prevent you from doing your homework? ”
Qi You took the barrel in her hand and hooked the corners of his mouth: "No." ”
Chungui attaches great importance to the schoolwork of the children in the family, and in this era, crossing classes can only rely on studying.
"Wait a while, I'll ask the shopkeeper to do it, I still have to find all this book. Now he often asks his men to come and buy goat's milk taro, you tell me the title of the book, and I will talk to him. ”
Qi You walked past her and cleaned up the stall, and said softly: "It doesn't matter, Shi Fuzi has a collection of books there, and I will ask him to borrow one at that time." ”
In this way, the girl in front of her was relieved.
On one side, they were waiting for Cai's to finish selling the last few buns, and on the other hand, the daughter-in-law took advantage of the fact that Zhixing was left at home in the Liu family, and rushed over to find out Zhixing's tone.
From afar, I saw two people fishing with homemade fishing rods by the small pond at the entrance of the courtyard, and when they caught one, they threw it back into the water, and they had a lot of fun.
Li Zheng's daughter-in-law looked at it and smiled: "What about fishing?" ”
Zhixing turned his head when he heard the sound, and when he saw that it was Lizheng's daughter-in-law, he hurriedly smiled and said: "Hello aunt, if you don't catch a good one, you will stay, Zhou Han is waiting to eat the fish head pot made by his sister-in-law!" He moved his body slightly, and sure enough, there were several fat grass carp swimming in the wooden basin beside him.
He introduced Zhou Han to Lizheng's daughter-in-law, and Zhou Han also called out to his aunt.
When the two of them saw that the fishing was almost done, they stopped, got up and picked up the basin.
"Your sister-in-law is really good at raising fish in this pond."
Zhixing listened to it and said happily: "The vegetables grown by my sister-in-law are also delicious!" ”
Li Zheng's daughter-in-law looked at his smug appearance, smiled and nodded his head: "Cheng, your sister-in-law is amazing at everything!" ”
Walking into the back room, Zhimin was cutting a piece of cloth and sewing and mending it, and Lizheng's daughter-in-law looked at the style and said: "Minmin, the cuffs of this dress are too big, I'm afraid you will eat cold wind when you wear it." ”
Zhimin raised his head and bent the corners of his eyes and said crisply: "Make it for my sister-in-law, it's not big." Auntie, don't tell my sister-in-law, I'll give it to her when I'm done! ”
Hearing this, Lizheng's daughter-in-law sighed with emotion: "Look at our Minmin, my sister-in-law bought such a good piece of cloth because I wanted her to practice her hands, but I didn't want to make clothes for my sister-in-law secretly." ”
Zhimin's face blushed for a while, and he hung his head and continued to sew the cuffs.
Zhixing brought out a bowl of sugar water and asked, "Is there something wrong with my sister-in-law looking for my sister-in-law?" It's still early today, and my sister-in-law won't come back until noon. ”
Li Zheng's daughter-in-law showed some embarrassment at this time, looked at Zhou Han who was drinking water with clean hands on the side, and said softly: "I'm not here to find your sister-in-law." ”
Zhixing Zhou Han is a person who is used to being very informal, but Zhou Han has seen the officialdom of Kyoto, and when he saw Lizheng's daughter-in-law looking embarrassed, after he said: "I am here to find you", he knew that there must be something private to say, so he entered the room with the excuse of Wen Shu.
After he left, Lizheng's daughter-in-law looked at the door again before sitting down in front of Zhixing Zhimin.
Seeing her like this, Zhixing couldn't help but laugh: "Auntie, what are you going to say, be so careful?" ”
Zhimin also stopped what he was doing.
Li Zheng's daughter-in-law sighed and patted Zhimin's hand: "Your Uncle Li Zheng mentioned it to me yesterday, because you and Qi You only have these three days off, and the next time it will be next month, I have nothing to do today, so I thought it would be better to come over early and ask." ”
She looked at Zhixing's smiling and cheerful appearance, remembering that these children were so dependent on Chungui in the past, she felt a little unbearable, and finally gritted her teeth and said.
"If your sister-in-law remarries, will you agree?"
As soon as these words came out, the smile on the corner of Zhixing's mouth froze at the sight.
Zhimin hadn't experienced anything, and it took some time to react, so he was stunned.
Li Zheng's daughter-in-law had long foreseen that they would look like this when they heard this, and sighed helplessly: "It's not that my sister-in-law deliberately came to disturb your family, it's really that your sister-in-law is getting older, if your eldest brother is still here, the family affairs will have been done a long time ago." ”
"But now that your eldest brother is gone, a girl's family guards the family in the spring, and then the years are wasted, and it will be too late to think about his own lifelong event when Zhiping Zhimin is older."
Which of the women here is not a fourteen or five-year marriage, sixteen carried out the door, and eighteen children were all hugged by one, so isn't this how the Cai family came.
Lizheng's daughter-in-law spoke thoroughly.
Zhixing opened his mouth, and he was a little speechless for a while.
He didn't understand what his daughter-in-law meant, his sister-in-law was nineteen this year, and his eldest brother was three years old when he was nineteen years old, and a family had been pulled up decently, but his sister-in-law was still running around for their family's livelihood, getting up early to come back at noon, and he had to be busy milking goats all afternoon, preparing tomorrow's things, and taking care of a few small ones in the family. If there was a man here, she wouldn't be working as hard as she is now.
What's more, the sister-in-law married someone who actually couldn't get their consent, and in the end, the sister-in-law was not a serious sister-in-law, in order to be a daughter-in-law for the eldest brother, she deliberately didn't record it in the Liu family tree, and she couldn't sit in the main hall and bow down to them during the Chinese New Year last year.
Even if they leave them behind during the drought, there are still ordinary people, but now she has done her part. Zhixing asked himself, he didn't have the face to ruin the second half of his life because of his own family.
It's just that when he thought that once his sister-in-law married someone else, it would not be their family, and his heart felt as if he had dug up a piece.
Swallowing a sour throat, he finally opened his mouth: "...... Did my sister-in-law find a good family? ”
Li Zheng's daughter-in-law shook her head: "No, your Uncle Li Zheng wants me to find out what you mean first, I haven't looked for it when I return to the spring." It would not be good if I had the heart to do good deeds and disturbed the peace of your family. ”
Zhixing tugged at the corners of his mouth, grabbed Zhimin, who was silent, and after a moment of silence, he said softly: "If it is...... If my sister-in-law agrees, please ask my sister-in-law to find a good family for my sister-in-law. ”
"Our family is my sister-in-law's maiden family, and other brides will have sisters-in-law too, don't let people look down on them."
He sniffed, suppressed the sourness in his mouth and choked up: "In the future, I, Qi You, and Zhiping will all have a good time, and I will see it after the imperial examination, my sister-in-law is so good, please find a kind-hearted family with a slightly thicker family when you are looking for someone, don't ask for much wealth, just don't treat her poorly." ”
If my sister-in-law can live better than she does now after getting married, it will be worth it.
Li Zheng's daughter-in-law looked at the young man who was still alive and laughing just now, and she was not crying at the moment, and her heart was full of feelings.
"This kid is just getting married, if that person is kind, I don't know if you two can follow Chungui."
Zhixing saw it through the husband and wife, wiped his eyes and shook his head when he heard the words: "There is no such reason, saying that we are my mother's family, but everyone knows what our identity is, and it is an eyesore to be in front of my sister-in-law." ”
"The more you talk about it, the more outrageous it is, how can it be an eyesore, it is common for your mother's brothers and sisters to bring it in together, you have told your aunt to find a kind family, how can you not agree!"
Li Zheng's daughter-in-law assured this, but Zhixing had already made a decision in his heart.
"I'll talk to that girl at the end of the year sometime, and if she agrees, I'll start looking for someone, try to get ahead of you in Kyoto, and you can see this person first."
After that, he listened to everything in a daze, and Lizheng's daughter-in-law saw that his mind was already in chaos, so she sighed and stopped.
"It's done, my aunt will go back first, don't be sad, this is your sister-in-law's good thing."
sent away Lizheng's daughter-in-law, and when Zhixing sat back again, the whole person was already depressed.
Zhimin looked at her brother, but she was calmer than Zhixing after listening to the whole process, she lowered her head and continued the sewing work in her hand and said in a low voice: "Brother, my sister-in-law won't work hard when she gets married." ”
Zhixing smiled reluctantly: "Yes, it's a good thing." ”
Children understand the truth, he shouldn't be so bad, so that his sister-in-law can't help but feel uncomfortable, and it will drag down his sister-in-law's marriage. With that in mind, he wiped his face and turned and went inside.
Zhou Han just found an excuse to review his homework, and at the moment he was lying on the bed with his legs crossed, flipping through the album he had compiled this month, last night Qi You said that he would take one away this morning, and he was a little nervous about doing business.
While flipping through the pages, Zhixing suddenly walked in, sat down at the small table, and grinded the flip book.
Zhou Han doubted: "Isn't there no homework in the past three days?" How did you copy the book? ”
Zhixing finished copying a line of words, and only said: "Prepare for the exam." ”
