Chapter Ninety-Seven: Wen Ju
Su Qingtong returned home after separating from Qiumei and Tianci in City C.
The weather has been bad these days, and the sky has been drizzling, caught in the wind and flying obliquely on people's faces, cold and biting.
She asked Xiao Wu to drive her home.
Xiao Wu sent her to the side of the road in front of Qingjiatang, and then asked her who got out of the car: "Why don't you let me into the house to warm up?" It's all frozen all the way, let me go in and have a cup of tea, right? ”
Su Qingtong said: "You have to go back tonight anyway, it's better to go back early than to go back late, and pay attention to safety on the road." ”
Xiao Wu smiled and said, "I know, you go back quickly, I'll use the headlights to shine on the road you are going to take, you be careful not to slip." ”
"I don't need you to take a picture, my vision is very good."
However, there are bright lights shining on the road for more than ten meters.
Su Qingtong stood at the mouth of the hall and turned around and waved his hand at Xiao Wu, not knowing if he could see it.
When she walked into the house with a large bag and a small bag, she actually saw a few strange and familiar guests in the living room.
Calculate the time, and it should also appear.
Jiang Liyan has a very beautiful name, but her person looks the opposite, not to mention short and chubby, and there is an extremely ugly pitted scar on her left cheek, just from the appearance, it can't match Zhou Shoushan, and I don't know why Zhou Shoushan chose her.
However, Jiang Liyan is a clever woman, and Su Qingtong learned to make glutinous rice dumplings with her.
Jiang Liyan and her family are the first time they have seen a big family like the Su family.
At first, she thought that the Su family was a state-owned unit, but later learned that it was a rural family.
When Zhou Shoushan's sister said she was going to take them to watch TV, the Jiang family, who came from a more impoverished area, didn't know what TV was.
When they looked at the Su family's huge color TV, they were all stunned.
The full and gorgeous colors, the clear and bright vision, bring them more beautiful enjoyment than watching movies, if so, they have a sense of how lofty they are, maybe how rich and prosperous they are, and their hearts are more determined to stay and live in this land.
This year, many girls from other places poured in to find their in-laws, and the arrival of those girls solved the marriage problems of many older bachelors.
Jiang Liyan is not the only foreign bride, but one of many foreign brides, but she is the one with the least dowry, so the Zhou family chose her.
At the same time, the Su family's Cuizhu Garden was finally completed.
The inner layer is tired, Danying is carved into the tree, divided into front and back yards, east and west wings, large and small, there are more than a dozen rooms.
Uncle Su and Grandma Wang San moved in one day before the Chinese New Year, and they didn't have to live in a house with their son and daughter-in-law, and the old couple couldn't express their happiness.
The other houses of the Su family are still being renovated, and the furniture has not been ready, so they will not be able to move in for a while.
On this day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, several sons and daughters of Wang San's grandmother came to Wenju and had a family reunion for a New Year's dinner.
Su Qingtong can be regarded as a real recognition of Wang San's grandmother's relatives, including two half-grown children of the same age as her, one is Wang Wenhua's daughter, named Wang Miaozhen, and the other is Wang San's grandmother's grandson, named Geng Wenhua, both of whom are fourteen or fifteen years old.
They sat quietly beside their parents, looking at Su Qingtong shyly, embarrassed to talk to her, and wanted to be close to them, in a very contradictory situation.
Or Su Qingtong took the initiative to greet them and said, "Do you want to go and see the peach blossoms planted by our family?" ”
The two people's expressions relaxed, and they both looked up at their parents beside them.
Wang Wenhua said impatiently: "Go, go, why haven't you seen the world like this?" Qingtong asked you to go out to play, so cringe, what can you do in the future. ”
Even Wang San's grandmother also smiled and said: "You all learn from Qingtong well, she won the first place in the final exam this time." ”
The two children were stunned, and their relaxed expressions became stiff again.
Su Qingtong understood the unhappiness of being crushed, so he smiled and took the girl's hand and said, "Don't listen to grandma's praise, I actually happened to know those few exam questions, so I got a high score." ”
Although Wang Miaozhen knew that Su Qingtong was appeasing her, she felt better after all, so she followed her out of Cuizhuyuan.
By the pond outside Cuizhu Garden, Su Tianhua and Su Zitong were turning over stones with a group of young children, looking for mayflies that had not frozen to death in winter.
The Su family occupies a huge area, fully encircles a small hill and a small mountain col, builds a thick wall with red bricks, powdered with white powder, and the wall is also stained with glutinous rice milk black tiles, which is very magnificent.
The yard is still being renovated, and it is winter, so it looks like loess at a glance, but there are indeed about 100 peach and plum trees, and now the bare trunks are really not much to look at.
Su Qingtong saw Wang Miaozhen's boredom.
She smiled and said: "Don't look at it now, when you wait for the spring of the next year, it will be 'overflowing hibiscus swamp, flowers flying peach and plum', the breeze is blowing, and the remnants of stamen powder and moss are surging." ”
Wang Miaozhen looked at Su Qingtong blankly, she couldn't feel what kind of artistic conception it was, all she saw was a mess in front of her, so she couldn't answer.
Su Qingtong sighed, feeling that all her feelings were to the cow playing the piano, no wonder there is a saying that 'bosom friends are hard to find', bosom friends are indeed hard to find.
Geng Wenhua was smiling, but he was a half-grown boy, especially in front of Su Qingtong, a cousin who was not related by blood, he didn't dare to be too frivolous in his words and deeds, just smiled and listened to the two girls.
The three of them walked around, and when they walked back, they heard a cheer from the edge of the pool, it turned out that Su Tianhua and a few children caught a fish, and the fish looked quite big.
Su Qingtong recognized that she had put it in from the space some time ago, but if she was caught by them, she would have been arrested.
The kitchen of Cuizhuyuan is very lively, and Grandma Wang San is busy with several daughters-in-law and daughters.
Three women in one play, let alone so many women, the sound of talking in the kitchen is endless, and the laughter is endless.
After a while, Aunt Ji Man and Ji Man Ye also brought their son and daughter-in-law to congratulate them.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Youliang and Wang Chunxiang also followed.
The Su family, which was already noisy, seemed to have a spoonful of water added to the boiling oil at this moment, and it exploded in an instant, talking and laughing, and the noise of children coaxed the originally empty Su family.
Wang Xuemei found a spare time and asked Wang Chunxiang: "How is your brother's affairs going?" ”
Wang Chunxiang smiled and moved a stool to sit over and said, "It's all done, even the wedding date has been set, I came here this time to pick up your family on the sixth day of the first lunar month to drink wedding wine." ”
Wang Xuemei exclaimed: "So fast? ”
Wang Chunxiang said: "If you don't hurry up, you can't do it, Fang Yu and I have to go to work on the eighth day of the first month, how can I help if I don't hurry up." ”
"Why did the girl agree? Didn't you say that there were several of them talking? ”
Wang Chunxiang said: "Aren't there several families talking? My brother was also annoyed, yesterday morning I went to the girl, asked her if she was willing to marry him, if she was willing to marry, she would give a happy word, and then the girl said to him, let my brother go to the matchmaker and say that he was only willing to pay 800 yuan for the bride price, my brother was still stunned, at that time it was not her who wanted 1,000 yuan, how did she say that it was only 800 yuan, and I don't know what medicine she sold in the gourd, who knew that the girl also lost her temper at my brother, and asked him if he had too much money and nowhere to spend, She also said that she was not allowed to tell her parents or matchmakers. ”
Wang Xuemei pondered and said: "I feel that girl has taken a fancy to your brother, otherwise she wouldn't be on your side, the reason why this matter has not been settled may be because your brother is too stupid and wants to give the money to the matchmaker to earn, so the girl will not let go." ”
"It's not, especially the matchmaker, she wants to make more money for the bride price, so she dragged my brother to add money, where did my brother get so much money, so he didn't dare to agree indiscriminately, they helped the girl find her in-laws everywhere, but no one agreed to the girl, and her parents and the matchmaker had no choice, so they agreed that my brother would marry her with a dowry of 800 yuan."
