Chapter 40: Becoming a Family in Quanshui Village
Hai's fox looked at the giggling little girl suspiciously, and the mouse Xiaobai on the cuffs also looked at Hai's in a panic with a broom sweeping the evil tiger at any time, and strangely turned into a jade silk in the eyes.
Yu Sanguang ignored the strange mouse, sat on a small wooden pier on the ground, knocked the cigarette holder without tobacco in a decent manner, and motioned to Hai Shi to tell him about the situation.
After Hai finished speaking, Lan Ya did not take the lead in expressing his position, but first asked Yu Sanguang and Hai what they meant.
Hai thought for a long time and said: "Mother thought, although this family is four singles, but the family is quite solid, not simply digging in the soil, there are merchants, can hunt, and there are three acres of high-quality land, Xiang'er married in the past, tired is a little tired, but when you enter the door, you will be in charge of the family, and you don't have to be angry with your mother-in-law." ”
Hai's was obviously scared of Zhang's rubbing, thinking that it was an extremely happy thing for her daughter to not have a mother-in-law.
Lan Ya raised her eyebrows and looked at Lan Xiang again, Lan Xiang blushed, raised her head for a while, and said firmly to the Hai family: "Mother, his family is quite prosperous, and he can help the family in the future, my daughter agrees." ”
Lan Ya sighed, she just wanted to hear the true thoughts of Hai and Xiang'er, but she didn't expect it to be this conclusion, she couldn't help but hate iron and steel, and pouted: "Mother, you didn't think about it, if it's good, the eldest aunt will let Lan Yue not marry, let the eldest sister marry, there must be something greasy in this." ”
Hai Shi was puzzled: "Ya'er, in the afternoon, your aunt and your grandmother quarreled for a long time, and she blushed and had a thick neck, and went back to the house unhappily, Bacheng is because your grandmother asked Xiang'er to marry Lanyue to a family, and your sister is also your granddaughter, can you still hope that she will marry badly?" ”
Lan Ya shook her head, she always felt that something was wrong, she had heard of a four-widowed family, but she had not heard of a four-widowed family with a solid family, she pondered for a while, and said to Sanguang: "Dad, don't reply to my milk with your mother first, I will go to Quanshui Village to inquire when I go up the mountain to hunt pigweed." ”
The second morning, Lan Ya and Lan Duo and Lan Ya walked to the foot of the mountain as usual, but secretly went to Liu's house in private, even if she went to Quanshui Village, she estimated that she would not be able to find out the inside gossip, so she had to turn to Liu's for help.
Liu was at home with his daughter Liu Hongna's soles, and when he saw Lan Ya coming, he smiled happily: "The little fairy child is here?" ”
Lan Ya's face turned red and said with a smile: "Auntie, you also make fun of me?" You don't know what I'm like? ”
Liu said with a smile: "The people in the village have spread it all over, saying that you are a fairy child under the seat of Huang Xiangu, otherwise how can you go up and down the mountain freely?" I also heard about ......"
After looking around mysteriously, he lowered his voice and said: "The people in the village also spread that your grandmother rubbed and rubbed the hemp and grinded, offended Huang Xiangu, and the Baojiaxian died, and the lock of the small house was good, but the rice and oil were lost." Now, no one dares to bully you when you walk sideways in the village, you haven't noticed that your little baby has changed the song a few days ago? ”
Lan Ya was also wondering about this, the shame song that was in his ears at the beginning was gone, and Liu continued: "The adults have warned the child, if they offend you, they will be taken away by the wolves on the mountain immediately, and the children are singing on your back: Yujia Village, Langya Cave, live in the fairy child, Shi Miaofa, and protect the family fairy every year." ”
Lan Ya couldn't help but be embarrassed, how did it sound like the feeling of Taoism spreading?
I didn't want to do this, and hurriedly told Liu Shi about his intention, Liu frowned slightly, shook his head lightly and said: "Although our village here is not too far away, but because of the mountain range, there are many beasts, but there are not many people coming and going, I only know that Song Langzhong lives there, but from Song Langzhong's mouth, you don't want to hear the truth, after all, he is also from Quanshui Village, and he will not be from our other villages, why don't we go to Quanshui Village today to inquire, I am not good at this matter, let's ask the sister-in-law of the Yue family to go together." ”
Lan Ya couldn't help but pale, and told the story of the Chen family's return to the village and being blocked by the Yue family.
Liu said with a smile: "Don't worry, the sister-in-law of the Yue family is not targeting you, let alone the Chen family." Ten years ago, Aunt Yue's younger brother and sister were forced into plague, and many people were thrown into the mountains before they died, and Aunt Yue went to persuade her brother to do the same, but her younger brother did not follow her, and only entrusted the five-year-old Yulu to her, and closed the door. Soon after, the imperial court issued the plague medicine, and the sister-in-law happily went to inform her younger brother to receive the medicine, only to find that the husband and wife had both died at home. One of the things that the sister-in-law of the Yue family regrets the most is that she listened to her brother's words, and did not ruthlessly throw her brother and sister into the mountains, causing her brother to die. ”
I didn't expect the spicy Yue family to have such a kind side, if she was really ruthless back then and forcibly separated her younger brother, even if she saved her younger brother, it is estimated that she would still have a bad conscience because she left her brother and daughter-in-law, and it is difficult to have both of them.
When Liu told Yue the purpose of this trip, Yue agreed without saying a word, very neatly, Lan Ya liked Yue's refreshing personality in his heart, doing things right and not people, and arguing the day before yesterday was red-faced, but at this time he could sit in an ox cart and talk and laugh.
It was Liu Yuan who drove the ox cart, and the three people who sat on the ox cart were Lan Ya, Liu and Yue.
Yue's laughter came first, so loud that people were worried that the leaves would fall down, Yue's smiled and said: "Lan Ya, my aunt actually admires you, you can go up and down the mountain alive, and you can repel so many mustache dogs, if I meet it, I guess my legs will have to be fat, and I dare not move." ”
Lan Ya really didn't want to dwell on this issue, so she sneered: "Auntie said that I was laughing, I almost died, Aunt Liu saw it with her own eyes, unconscious." Aunt Yue, you see, we are not familiar with the place, where can we ask? ”
Yue raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Don't worry, look at the aunt, the aunt is a person who does things, just helping us to inquire about people in the village has done it several times, regardless of whether the other party is stuffy gourd or boiling water scoop, I have to go to the mouth like a bamboo tube pouring beans to the mouth bald, outside to the relatives of the five suits, to the small things of farting in the bed, I promise to help you find out." ”
Oh, it's in the spirit of the paparazzi, Lan Ya silently.
When he arrived at Quanshui Village, Yue's pretended to be lame, walked to the stream, and asked kindly in front of a young daughter-in-law who was plucking pheasants: "Big sister, how is Song Langzhong's house going?" ”
The little daughter-in-law looked at a middle-aged woman with leg disease who was being supported, followed by a fourteen-year-old boy and an eight- or nine-year-old girl, and pointed to the east of the village with some sympathy: "This aunt, go to the village, and the house at the east end is the one." ”
Yue touched his stiff legs, sat down on the edge of a laundry stone in embarrassment, and sighed: "The legs and feet are not good, you have to rest when you walk." ”
The little daughter-in-law gave way to the side, the work in her hand did not stop, but she replied pleasantly: "My aunt found Song Langzhong, it is estimated that this leg disease will be cured, my aunt has a leg disease, her home is in Liuhe Village, Song Langzhong gave a needle guilt for a month, and he was able to walk on his own. ”
Yue's laughed happily, and invisibly narrowed the distance between the two, and then said with some regret: "Alas, eldest niece, I won't tell you, we came from Erdaohe in the county, and we walked for a day and a night to get here, and if we live for a month...... Alas, it's a pity, my aunt's sister-in-law's cousin's great-nephew heard that she lives in Quanshui Village, so how good it would be to live in his house...... I don't know what has changed now, my heart is still as sincere as when I was a child, can you take me in for a few days? ”
The little daughter-in-law looked at Yue's family, who was instantly depressed, with some sympathy, and couldn't help asking, "Auntie, what is the surname of the relative you mentioned?" Wouldn't it be better if you could get in touch? It's convenient for you, and he also recognized his relatives, so why don't you just come here as a brother and sister in the future? ”
Yue pondered for a moment, then regained his hearty appearance, and said with a smile: "Eldest niece, my cousin heard that it is gone, leaving only four nephews, surnamed Cheng, but still living here?" ”
The little daughter-in-law's eyes flashed, and she looked at a few people again, glanced at Lan Ya with an uncertain expression, and said with a smile: "Auntie, you can ask someone." The elder brother of the Cheng family is good, the eldest brother is honest and honest, the second brother is shrewd and capable, the third brother is extraordinary, and the younger brother is hardworking, they are all first-class good people, good people, good people......"
After speaking, the little daughter-in-law blushed and coughed lightly, put the packed pheasant in a basin, said hello, and hurried towards the village, shaking her head as she walked, and the deaf Lan Ya even heard a sigh.
Successively inquired about a few of them, and secretly looked at the big blue brick house where the Cheng family lived, Yue couldn't help but smile and said: "Lan Ya, are you too worried, you see, this house where the Cheng family lives is compared with the big house of the Zheng family in our village, I inquired about five women, and they all praised the four brothers of the Cheng family when they opened their mouths and closed their mouths, I think, this Cheng family, Lan Xiang can marry, and he can also support your three rooms in the future, saving you from grinding your mother."
Lan Ya was silent, got on the ox cart, and let the ox cart move slowly towards the road.
Lan Ya pondered for a moment, and couldn't help but shake her head, many years of business experience made her always feel that things were not as simple as she imagined, or rather, she didn't think that the Zhang family would have such a good heart.
He opened his mouth and asked the Yue family and the Liu family: "Auntie, is this spring water village very rich?" Are there a lot of hunters? ”
Liu shook his head and said, "Although Quanshui Village is a little better than our village, and we have a little bit of a slopa on hand, it is not rich. In recent years, there have been many beasts in the Seven Star Mountain Range, and there are fewer and fewer hunters, and your Uncle Liu has not received wild boar meat for two years. ”
Lan Ya continued: "Auntie, haven't you noticed that from the East Village to the West Village, five out of ten households are killing game, let's ask these women, whether they are old or young, smart-mouthed, stupid-mouthed, and boastful, they are all so many words, and they don't bring any changes, don't you think it's wrong?" ”
Liu Shi is a smart one, and he can understand it at a glance, and exclaimed: "Lan Ya, you mean...... Got married and bought the whole village to say so? ”
Lan Ya affirmed this idea more and more, and the more suspicious she became, but it was estimated that she couldn't find out what the situation was when she returned to Quanshui Village, and tonight, the Zhang family forced Yu Sanguang and Hai to give an answer, and the more she thought about it, the more anxious she became.
