Chapter 119: The Marriage of the Strong Son
The Mid-Autumn Festival is the first festival after Jin Mo crossed over, after returning from the county seat, Jin Mo first went to Aunt Wang's house next door, sent them some moon cakes, and then went to the grandfather with Zhong Dashan, and also left him some moon cakes.
After coming back, he took Aunt Wu and Xiaohua to busy in the kitchen.
Dinner in the evening was an hour earlier than usual, and the table in the dining room was full of dishes, croquettes, braised pork trotters, pork ribs with sauce, braised pork, scrambled eggs with green onions, white chopped chicken, cold cucumbers, vinegared cabbage, chicken soup, fried buns and sugar cakes, and the staple food was steamed buns and rice.
Eight dishes, one soup and two dim sum, a total of eleven dishes, just become single-minded, meaning extraordinary!
Today, there is no distinction between master and servant, Jin Mo let Aunt Wu's mother and daughter and the Wang brothers all serve on the table, and there is a festive atmosphere when there are many people.
On this day in modern times, their whole family and uncles and uncles dressed up early and brought things back to the countryside for the festival, which is the tradition of their family.
"Come, don't be restrained, today you will put aside your identity for the time being, and spend the holiday with me and Xianggong. In the future, we will have to serve together on the day of the holiday, I like to be lively. Jin Mo pressed Aunt Wu directly on the chair, and said to everyone.
"Ma'am, I'm still waiting." Aunt Wu sat on the chair, feeling uncomfortable.
"What to serve, I don't have hands or feet. Listen to me today, sit down for me, and you will do the same, don't stand up for me again, or I'm going to be angry. Jin Mo looked at the Wang brothers who wanted to stand up again, staring at them with gloomy eyes, seeing that they could only let their butts continue to have intimate contact with the chair in the end.
"Mother, you just listen to Madame, Madame is the biggest." Only Xiaohua didn't feel awkward, and sat there very comfortable.
"It's still our little flower, you have to learn from Xiaohua." Jin Mo praised Xiaohua, pinched her face beside her, and the feeling of flesh was better than before.
In a place where Jin Mo couldn't see, Aunt Wu glared at her daughter, blaming her for how she could really sit.
"As for me, I don't know how to drink, so I replaced wine with tea, thank you for coming to my house, making this home full of popularity." Only she and Xianggong's home seems deserted, she is not really Jinmo, and she doesn't dare to go out, for fear that she will be seen through by them, with them, the house is lively, she also has someone to talk to, she is really grateful for their arrival.
"Madam, it should be the slave maid who should say thank you, if it weren't for the lady who bought the slave and the slave's daughter, the slave and maid are likely to be separated from their daughter." Aunt Wu stood up, her eyes were full of tears, she said something gratefully, and drank the wine in the cup.
"Thank you, ma'am." After the Wang brothers gathered a thousand words into a thank you, they raised their heads and toasted the glass of wine.
They don't say pretty things, but they're definitely very motivated to do their work.
"Come, eat the vegetables." Jin Mo, as the owner, first clamped a chopstick.
Zhong Dashan didn't say a word the whole time, just looked at Jin Mo with a smile.
"Stop giggling, eat." Jin Mo took a chopstick and put it in his bowl and gave him a disgusted look.
"Eat, eat." Zhong Dashan smiled and began to eat.
As soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival passed, Jin Mo was completely idle, sleeping until three poles in the morning every day, there was no way, who let someone toss her at night.
The work in the fields was gone for a while, and the workers went home to harvest the rice.
At home, Zhong Dashan was still busy during the day, and there were many fans, so he only completed a few, which is far away.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the year before.
"Madam, let's see what New Year's goods you need to buy, these must be prepared in advance." Aunt Wu thought that the New Year was approaching, so she thought about preparing the New Year's goods in advance.
"There's nothing particular about it in the countryside, you can watch and buy it." In ancient times, she was the first to pass the Chinese New Year, and she didn't know what she needed to prepare, so it was better to let Aunt Wu take full responsibility.
"Madame, don't you want to buy it?" Although Mrs. Happy left the decision to herself, Aunt Wu was still worried that she would miss something, or that she would not buy what Mrs. or Son-in-law needed.
It shouldn't be anything, and if I think about it, it's never too late to buy it. Aunt Wu, if you go out, let Wang Shi drive the carriage for you. "That's right, a new carriage has been added to the family, and once the donkeys are driven away by Zhong Qiang, if they go out, they have to borrow an ox cart or go out on foot.
Considering the inconvenience, Jin Mo directly asked Wang Shi to go to the county seat to buy a carriage and come back, so that he didn't have to grab a donkey cart with Zhong Qiang.
Zhong Qiang's life is enjoying himself now, in addition to handing over some silver money to his mother, Jin Mo has also saved a lot of money for him.
Zhong Qiang is so old, he has already looked at the girl's family, but unfortunately there is a mother who is out of tune at home, what she thinks in her heart is the younger son, and the eldest son can't take care of it at all.
Fang's family mentioned it to her, people were stunned, and Fang's was so angry that he proposed to split up with her husband, this daughter-in-law is becoming more and more disobedient to discipline, if it goes on like this, when will the eldest grandson's marriage be, it will be difficult to wait for the younger brother to get married, and then talk about the eldest grandson.
Zhong Guang listened to his daughter-in-law's words and felt that it made sense, the eldest daughter-in-law has indeed not been very concerned recently, it is good to be separated, the marriage of the eldest grandson cannot be delayed, and when he is old, he can't marry a good one.
The old couple spoke the same tone, and the next day they called their two sons, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren to the hall and mentioned the matter of separating the family.
The eldest daughter-in-law was happy at first when she heard that the family was separated, and it was the best to be separated from the second room, but she was not happy when she thought of supporting the old couple.
The old couple of the second family were frightened by the mention of the separation, they didn't expect this at all, after all, the parents are still alive and very healthy, how could they mention the separation, naturally they don't agree.
But Zhong Guang and his wife have already decided, whether they agree or not, this family must be divided. The old couple is still doing their work, so no one follows, and they have to keep a share of what they share.
Even if the eldest daughter-in-law Ma is reluctant, it will not be her turn to intervene in the matter of separating the family, and she is naturally dissatisfied with what is given to her.
"Mother, I finally gave birth to two grandchildren for the Zhong family, is this missing?"
"Speaking of which, while the big guys are here, let's talk about Qiangzi's marriage, you are his mother, this should not have been asked by me, but I don't think you mean that at all, your grandfather happened to ask again, what do you think, do you care or don't care?" I mentioned it once last time, and it was over, and this time she took the initiative to mention it, so she has to talk about it.
"Mother." Ma didn't expect her mother-in-law to mention her eldest son's marriage at this time. "Mother, I'm this~~ Didn't that strong son follow grandpa, don't you let grandpa watch this matter." It costs a lot of money for her son to get married, and the shackles of the path are gone, and she plans to send her youngest son to school next year.
"But you said this, don't say that you haven't asked your opinion as a mother when the time comes, and besides, after the strong son gets married, he won't hand over the money for his work, and you won't talk to him. But I'll tell him about the annual filial piety. ”
"If you don't pay the wages, that's not good." The younger son's restraint still depends on the eldest son, if there is no eldest son's salary, what will the younger son do?
"Why not, it's not that you don't give it, the right is to divide the family, just give filial piety every year."
"Mother~~"
"Listen to my mother." Zhong Fu shook his head at his daughter-in-law and signaled her to stop talking, when they threw their son to their grandfather, it was equivalent to having already separated from the eldest son, and it was okay to give filial piety.
"This will be written into the family separation paperwork, and the village chief and the patriarch will come over later."
"Yes."
After a while, the village chief, the patriarch and the clan elders all came to Zhong Guang's house, and seeing that they had all been divided, and even the documents had been written, it seemed that they were just going through the motions and being a witness.
Zhong Qiang knew that the family was separated, and his mood did not fluctuate much, his mother didn't care about him for a day or two, since his younger brother was born, he had long been used to it, and he also saw it.
"Qiangzi, what do you think about your marriage, do you have a favorite girl?" Ma doesn't care, she can't be a grandmother, although the eldest grandson is a little bored, but he is a good person, how can he find a good girl.
"Nope. Grandma thinks it's good. Zhong Qiang didn't expect his grandmother to look for him for this, and his face flushed.
"You stupid boy, your daughter-in-law is yours, you must be satisfied with yourself, and your daughter-in-law is the one who lives with you." However, Zhong Qiang's words were quite pleased.
"I~~ I don't have any ideas, or I'll ask my aunt and let her give some advice." has been with Zhong Dashan and his wife for a long time, Zhong Qiang is closer to them and is willing to talk to them.
"Dashan daughter-in-law, this is fine, then remember to say hello and tell grandma. This must be done as soon as possible, and you will be sixteen in the New Year. Sixteen of them are fathers. "When it comes to Jin Mo, Fang thinks it's feasible, these two couples have changed their faces in a short period of time, who doesn't envy it, Qiangzi can't be sure of what to do after following them, then the daughter-in-law's aspect can't be too bad, and what they show each other will definitely not be bad.
"Got it, grandma." As grandma said, there are not a few fathers of his age, and he is already late.
After sending the Fang family away, Zhong Qiang went to Zhong Dashan's house.
He arrived unfortunately, and the two of them hadn't gotten up from their nap yet.
Aunt Wu asked him to wait in the house, this guy was also idle, and when he saw that there was firewood piled up in the yard, he went directly to chop firewood.
The couple woke up and came to the front yard, where Zhong Qiang had just finished chopping the firewood.
"Qiangzi, why did you chop firewood, do you have something to do with your uncle?" Zhong Dashan glanced at the firewood piled on the ground, which could be used until the beginning of spring.
