Chapter 80: The Bracelet
"What's wrong with that! Since I gave it to you, you can just do it! Where are there so many excuses! ”
"Mother, no!"
The eldest aunt withdrew her hand.
"Take it!"
Grandma Su didn't want to argue with her anymore, so she put things on her hand directly.
"Mother~"
"You take it too, don't let me talk in vain! My mouth is dry! It's going to waste a lot of water again! ”
Grandma Su stuffed it directly into Zhou's arms, then picked up the teapot and poured a large glass of water, and drank it all.
The two of them looked at the big silver bracelets in their hands and were at a loss.
The bracelet shone with a shallow, soft light, vaguely reflecting the helpless and touched faces of the two.
This is my mother's dowry back then! How can you give yourself for nothing like this!
"Thanks... Thank you, mother, but we can't..."
"Can't what? I said, "Why are your hearts so empty?" You deserve it! Originally, you should have given it to you as soon as you entered the door, so you don't blame me for being late! ”
"I started saving it because I was afraid that my family would be poor, and if something happened, it would be worth a few silver dollars. Well, now that you have the input, you don't have to worry about it! ”
"My wife and son are a lot older, and it doesn't look good to take this out, I think you young people wear it just right. By the way, this style is a bit old, if you don't like it, take it to the town and fight again! ”
"Yes, we like it!"
"If you like it, you can take it in peace! Be the daughter-in-law of my Su family, and I won't let you be wronged! ”
"Mother, we always knew that!"
The eldest aunt and Zhou said in unison, their eyes a little moist.
This bracelet was Grandma Su's dowry back then, and it has been decades now. The bracelets on both hands of the concubine are polished translucently, which shows that she has put a lot of effort into caring for her on weekdays.
"It's all the big thing, you have to listen carefully."
"Well, we're all listening!"
"I won't say anything else, I don't have any input. It's the last time I made money selling sour bamboo shoots, let's start counting from there. I set up my own stall and sold a total of two hundred and two..."
Grandma Su made it clear where every copper plate came from and where it went.
"What are you looking for! It's just that the rest is used up, and there are still dolls in it for next year. In addition to this, our family has a total of six taels and seven hundred and fifty-eight dollars left. What do you guys think? ”
It is not easy for farmers to save money, and all kinds of oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea cost money. The clothes worn on the body and the quilt covered at night are not cheap.
Marry a daughter-in-law, have children, leave a favor...
There are many places where this costs money, and there are few ways to make money. Most of them rely on selling vegetables and fruits grown in the field, and the eggs saved, and the mountain treasures picked up on the mountains are not worth a few dollars.
In this way, it is not difficult to understand that the Su family has only saved so much money for so many years.
"Why don't you speak? Is it possible for a family to be shy? ”
"Huh? What? ”
It turned out that both of them were immersed in emotion, and they didn't have the heart to listen to what Grandma Su said!
"O you! Let's just tell me what I think! We should still be able to make a little money selling flowers, and when the time comes, we will repair and repair the house so that several children can have a place to live. Then it's time to save money for Qingge'er to marry a daughter-in-law, take your time one by one, what do you think? ”
"I think it's good! It's up to the mother! ”
"I also listen to my mother's arrangement!"
Zhou's is always one step slower than his aunt, and he is not in a hurry to respond.
"Well, then we're on the same page! Go all the way! ”
"We all know!"
That's what everybody has been doing all along. That's why this day will be more and more prosperous, isn't it?
"Looks like you don't have any opinions, huh? Do you all listen to me? ”
"We all listen to my mother!"
Grandma Su was smiling, as if she was waiting for their words!
"Well, one of you can take a hundred pennies in it! It's just right, it's all worn, so let's take a string for each person! ”
"Mother, what are you doing here? It's useless for us to ask for money! ”
"It's useless, buy two feet of cloth to make new clothes and shoes, buy some delicate gadgets with belts, isn't it all good! I am really reluctant to use it, but I can also buy something for my child to make him happy! ”
"There is no reason why money is useless, this is the best thing to use."
Grandma Su's words are not rough, the truth is really like this, everything costs money.
"Mother, what you give us on weekdays is enough for pocket money, there is no need to give it to us again! We shouldn't be happy to take this again! ”
"You've been married for so many years, and you haven't bought any good things for you, let you buy them yourself, and you're still procrastinating!"
"Who said they didn't give us anything good, didn't they? It's not hot yet! ”
The eldest aunt shook the silver bracelet on her wrist proudly,
"When I met my mother-in-law who was so polite, she was also caring, and the child was well-behaved and sensible. My life has long been completed, how can I still have so many plans! ”
"Yes, mother, you can take this money and we are most at ease. If there is anything I need to talk to my sister-in-law directly, they are all a family, so why do you need to hide anything. ”
Grandma Su, the mother-in-law, has also done her best, not to mention the good on weekdays. Every time during the New Year's holidays, I specially prepare gifts for the daughters-in-law to go back to their parents' homes to see. Although the things are not expensive, they are all practical.
Etiquette is light and affectionate! There are not many people in the village who can do this!
"Alright then, tell me what you can do! It's getting late, and you're going back to rest. ”
Grandma Su was thinking that they needed to spend money on something, and she might be too embarrassed to tell her directly. Just give them the money to themselves, and spend it as they want.
I didn't expect to say that they didn't want it, so they had to do it first.
"Alas~"
Relieved and distressed at the same time, Grandma Su stood up from the stool with her waist up.
"Mother, is your back hurting again, I'll go boil hot water for you."
"It's okay, I've just been sitting for a long time, and it's a little hard to stand up suddenly. Don't worry, it's getting back to the house, it's getting so late! ”
"Mother, I'll send you back first. It's dark outside, and you can't see it very well. ”
"That's fine!"
For these reasonable suggestions, Grandma Su will not easily refuse, and it is also a filial piety of the child. I closed the small box tightly and locked it, and walked out slowly with it.
"Mother, you go to bed early!"
The eldest aunt and Zhou sent Grandma Su to the door of the house, and when they saw her sitting peacefully on the edge of the kang, they said hello and closed the door.
"Sister-in-law, you go to bed early!"
"I know, and so do you!"
Closing the door of the main house, the concubine walked in opposite directions.
"Daughter-in-law, why did you go! Came back so late! ”
"My mother told me something! Why haven't you slept yet! ”
Zhou sat on the edge of the kang and took off his shoes to answer Su Qiang's question.
"Wasn't I waiting for you to come along? I'm not worried if you don't come back! By the way, what did my mother say to you? ”
"I don't think you're worried at all, but I'm curious about what my mother told me and my sister-in-law!"
"Hey, hey, hey!"
Su Qiang touched his head, and a smirk floated out again. Just now he saw his mother and his daughter-in-law enter the hall one after another, but he didn't expect his sister-in-law to be inside! Now he was even more curious!
"Daughter-in-law, tell me about it! I'm in a hurry! ”
