Chapter 69: Cheng Lanzi and his people
Hai Shi only tasted one grain, then reluctantly put it in the basin and said: "Bud'er, it's really delicious, it's good to be a snack for children, just give it to your little aunt, it's not a thing for herself, will she have any ideas?" ”
Lan Ya looked at the Hai clan who was not worried and sighed: "Mother, when you got married, did the eldest aunt and the second aunt give you a meeting gift?" Our village has not had this custom since ancient times, and our family's etiquette for my uncle to marry is not bad, and the makeup for Lanyue is not bad. My grandmother fancies the little sister-in-law, she has money to give a generous gift, let's not pick her, why let our family give it. If my milk is heavy, my family is suspicious, and my little aunt can't look down on it, so it's better to be casual. ”
Hai's thinking about it is also the same reason, the sister-in-law gave the new brother-in-law and daughter-in-law a meeting gift, which is the first time in the village, and the Zhang family can pull the moth, so he was uneasy in his heart, and followed the family down the mountain.
From a distance, I saw that the old house was really different from the past, the yard was neat and clean, the pot in the room was ringing and shoveling, and the chimney was curling with smoke, a picture of peaceful farmer's joy.
Pushing open the courtyard door, the old man swept the yard with a broom as before, until it was spotless;
Jiang was busy in and out of the room, cooking, and the air was wafting with the smell of stewed cabbage in pork bone soup left over from yesterday;
A young daughter-in-law is "cooing" by the chicken coop and screaming for the chickens to eat. The little daughter-in-law looks seventeen or eighteen years old, with a strong skeleton, high cheekbones, medium stature, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and her hair is lazy and messily combed into two big braids hanging down on the side of her face, giving Lan Ya a sense of immediacy when she encounters a modern simple village girl.
The little daughter-in-law as a whole is the kind of good daughter-in-law that the ancient elders thought could "give birth to".
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the little daughter-in-law looked at the door, was stunned at first, and then greeted her warmly, wanting to pull Lan Ya's hand, seeing that she was still holding a chicken food basin in her hand, she hurriedly put down the basin, wiped her hands with a scarf, and affectionately took Lan Ya, looked at Hai Shi and Yu Sanguang and said: "This is the third brother and third sister-in-law, right?" These beautiful little girls are Orchid, Orchid, Orchid, Yaya and Dalin? ”
Seeing the other party counting the names of several people in her family, Lan Ya looked at the new aunt with some surprise, with her years of experience in modern shopping malls, she couldn't tell whether the other party was sincere or polite hypocrisy, and in the thick pupils, it was like an abyssal lake, which made it difficult to distinguish.
Hai's embarrassed glanced at Lan Ya, who was thinking straightly, and Lan Ya smiled and said, "Little aunt, you are so good-looking." ”
Cheng Lanzi immediately laughed unabashedly, which shocked people's ears trembling, this is a cool woman, and she won everyone's unanimous favor.
The meal was put on the table, most of it was leftovers from yesterday, and only a newly fried minced meat stir-fried lettuce.
Before eating, Zhang's made introductions one by one, He's face was so gloomy that he could drip water, and under the supervision of Daguang, he reluctantly took out a pair of silver cloves from his arms, and arrogantly handed them to Cheng Lanzi and said: "Fourth brother and daughter-in-law, you are hardworking and capable, and you will have to worry more about this family in the future." ”
Cheng Lanzi happily took the white ear ding, and under the gaze of everyone, she directly picked her own golden cloves, and replaced them with silver cloves without disgust, without any twisting, which made Zhang's happy mouth.
Zhang's eyes were full of satisfaction.
The new daughter-in-law is good-looking, diligent in her hands and feet, speaks crisply, and acts neatly, unlike the eldest daughter-in-law who is lazy and slippery, nor like the second daughter-in-law who plays her own calculations, and not like the third daughter-in-law who is stubborn.
The most important thing is that the little daughter-in-law's mother's family is a family with a solid family background, and when she was playing tricks at home a few days before she got married, the Zhang family was afraid and retreated.
At that time, it was Yu Xiaoguang who persuaded her, saying that Zhou Wencai was not authentic, and all he gave to Yu Caihe was gilded jewelry, and marrying a family could not only successfully exchange relatives and leave a bride price, but also go out on behalf of the Yu family to ask the Zhou family for an explanation.
After becoming a family, he will be the backer of the Yu family in the future. With these thoughts, the Zhang family would rather take a break from the He family, and marry Lan Yue to Cheng Sanlang, not to mention Lan Yue, I am afraid that Cheng Sanlang will ask Yaya by name, and the Zhang family will happily send it over.
Seeing that Zhang's face was as happy as the folds of his face that had been ironed, Jiang took out a light blue soft silk cloth from his arms, handed it to Cheng Lanzi and said, "Lanzi, there is nothing at home, only this piece of silk cloth, you make a pair of embroidered shoes to wear." ”
Lan Ya'er's eyes couldn't help narrowing, this blue silk cloth and the new clothes worn by Yu Caihe were obviously on the same cloth, it seems that in the dowry given by Cheng Saburo, the second room is not nothing.
Cheng Lanzi was still very happy, and compared the silk cloth on her body a few times, indicating that she liked it very much.
It was the turn of the third room, Hai was just about to speak, Lan Ya hurriedly scolded Yaya, Yaya walked on her short legs, took out the small basket in the room, lifted the cloth covering it, pointed to the peanut and said: "Little aunt, the third sister went up the mountain to fight the beehive overnight yesterday, and got up in the middle of the night this morning The eldest sister made snacks, I wish the little aunt and the little uncle family affairs and harmony, life is sweeter than honey, and give birth to a big golden grandson for my grandmother as soon as possible." ”
After speaking, the little girl picked up a peanut and handed it to Cheng Lanzi's mouth with her feet crossed, Cheng Lanzi opened her mouth cooperatively, and chewed exaggeratedly: "It's so sweet, the little girl is not deceiving people at all, thank you, little aunt." ”
The little girl said beautifully, Cheng Lanzi replied with a good deal, and the originally dissatisfied Zhang did not get angry, and glued the peanuts to the plate, which was regarded as adding a dish.
The big room, the second room and the third room were all given as meeting gifts, and Cheng Lanzi took out more than a dozen colorful and exquisite embroidery purses from his body, which was regarded as a meeting gift for juniors.
The big bolt and the second bolt are dark blue, embroidered with black bats, which predicts that the blessing is boundless;
The pillar of the second room is brown, embroidered with a purple gourd, which is expected to be extravagant;
The orchids and orchids in the second room are light blue, embroidered with peach blossoms, and the pre-spaghetti resembles peach blossoms;
The four girls in the three rooms are all light green, embroidered with osmanthus flowers, and the premonition is boundless.
In the end, the remaining pale pink one embroidered with peonies was handed to Yu Caihe.
Yu Caihe snorted in his nose and reluctantly took the purse, but his eyes were staring at the golden cloves unloaded by Cheng Lanzi, with a look of displeasure.
The jewelry given to her by Zhou Wencai was punctured and gilded by Cheng Saburo, which made her lose face in front of the whole village, which not only made Zhang's heart unhappy, but also made Yu Caihe lose face in front of the whole village, and she didn't even dare to come out of the house.
Cheng Lanzi just got married and wore a pure gold golden lilac, which obviously slapped Yu Caihe's face hard, how could this make her happy? If it weren't for something to ask Cheng Saburo, it is estimated that Yu Caihe would have to turn his face on the spot.
Zhang's originally wanted Cheng Lanzi to eat at the main table, but Cheng Lanzi took the initiative to sit next to Lan Xiang with a rice bowl, talking and laughing with the Sanfang family.
After a while, there was a lot of laughter with everyone at the table.
I saw Cheng Lanzi pick up another peanut and stick it in his mouth, smack his mouth, smiled again and showed his white teeth and said, "It's so delicious, why is Xiang'er so ingenious?" After speaking, he hugged Lan Xiang's small body, and whispered in Lan Xiang's ear: "How good it would be if you were my sister-in-law, my third brother is not blessed." ”
Lan Ya, who had a smart ear, couldn't help frowning, and his previous good impression of Cheng Lanzi collapsed.
After eating, Cheng Lanzi rushed to collect the table and wash the dishes and chopsticks, which made both the Hai family and the Jiang family embarrassed, one rushed to wash the dishes, and the other rushed to eat pig food, but Cheng Lanzi was idle.
Looking at the little girl who Lan Ya could barely comb into a bun, she said with a smile: "Ya'er, my mother died early, I combed my hair by myself since I was a child, and I combed it indiscriminately, only yesterday I got married and asked someone to comb my beautiful hair, and today it has become the same as before, can you teach my little aunt to comb her hair?" ”
Lan Ya smiled and touched the little girl's ring head that she had made indiscriminately, and said with a smile: "Little aunt, you are laughing at me, my hair is not half long, it can only be done like this, if you want to learn to have hair like mine, you have to cut it first." ”
Cheng Lanzi smiled, scraped the tip of Lan Ya's little nose, and turned to Lan Xiang again: "Xiang'er, you teach me, okay?" ”
With an enthusiastic look, Lan Xiang couldn't bear to refuse, and agreed to Cheng Lanzi to comb her hair.
Cheng Lanzi sat on the small maza, and Lanxiang stood behind the maza, her head bowed, and her hands gently combed her hair.
After combing Cheng Lanzi's head, Cheng Lanzi felt good, and broke up Lanxiang's hair, she came to practice, and saw that the two were talking and laughing, and Lan Ya didn't pay attention, and played with Dalin.
Approaching evening, seeing that it was not early, several people returned to their homes on the mountain, chatting as they walked.
Hai sighed: "Looking at Cheng Saburo as a person, thinking that Cheng Lanzi must be quite unreasonable, I didn't expect to be so refreshing and diligent, so reasonable, what a good person." ”
Yu Sanguang nodded approvingly.
Lan Xiang's face turned red and said: "The little aunt is good, when I taught her to comb her hair, she secretly stuffed me with a purse, saying that it was originally embroidered for the uncle, and the uncle didn't like the patterns, so he gave it to me and asked me to use it for my future husband." ”
He took out a man's brown purse from his bosom, embroidered with a lotus flower.
If it weren't for the words that Cheng Lanzi said at the dinner table, Lan Ya wouldn't think much about it, just like Hai's general thought that the little aunt was a good person, Lan Ya's sixth sense instinctively made her feel that Cheng Lanzi was a person, far from being as simple as it seemed on the surface, she always felt that something was wrong, and couldn't help but reach out and take her purse and look at it carefully.
The purse is much richer than the purse given to other rooms, and the gold thread implied in it makes the whole purse low-key and luxurious, with a faint lotus pattern, which will not make the men's purse too girly, and implies the meaning of harmony.
Seeing that Lan Ya was fascinated, Lan Xiang smiled: "Ya'er, if you like it, you can take it, this purse is bigger than a woman's purse, and it is just suitable for you, a family member, to load silver." ”
