Chapter 15 Planning
In the backyard
Zheng was picking cucumbers, and when he saw Qiao Sayer coming, he looked at it and said:
Say'er, come quickly, let's pick some cucumbers and eggplants, it's getting dark, it's time to prepare dinner.
Mother, what are you looking for me to do with this kind of thing, why don't you let them do it?
Qiao Sai'er said, reluctantly came to Zheng's side, and although she said so, she helped pick it up.
When Zheng heard this, he took a bite of her and said:
I don't need them to touch these things in our kitchen, this kitchen cooking and female needlework, not boasting, that's who praises, although your milk doesn't look down on me, but these two skills in my hands are real, your milk because of this, you have to look at me a few times, I teach you these skills, you learn, find a good mother-in-law, but also let people look high, Ruyi that girl, forget it, I don't want her to work next to her, I'm afraid she will steal the school.
Mother, I know, I'm going to help my mother.
Joselle said hurriedly.
Zheng smiled, and when he saw that Qiao Sai'er had something on his mind, he asked:
Did Celle come to the backyard to find me something?
Mother, how is the thing I told you?
Joselle asked, looking up.
What's the matter?
Zheng asked.
Mother-
Joselle let out a long cry and pouted, displeased.
Oh, I know, I know.
Zheng said,
Is it the one you said to go to your third uncle's house to live, and let your third uncle go to live in the west side room.
Joselle nodded.
郑氏 says:
I've been eating and drinking well these days to stay in Ruyi, Ruyi is also in good health, at this time let them move out and others can't say anything, today happened to be the Li matchmaker came, saying that the Zhang family asked the daughter to marry and must have a single room, I said the idea we discussed. Although your milk is a little excited, she hasn't let go yet.
Mother, what should we do?
I don't think this matter should be told to your grandmother by your third uncle in person.
Zheng thought for a while, then said.
Then mother, let the third uncle and the grandmother talk about it
Joselle urged.
You kid, why are you in such a hurry, this matter has to come slowly, and when I find an opportunity, I will talk to your third uncle about this matter.
Zheng said again.
Mother, what time are you looking for, I think now is the best time. I saw the third uncle just now, I'm going to call it, mother, you wait, I'll go-
Joselle said, and walked out quickly.
Zheng looked at it from behind, couldn't help shaking his head, smiled helplessly, and said:
This kid, why is he so breathless.
Zheng thought about it, so he lowered his head and picked two cucumbers, watched the eggplant grow well, and picked two more eggplants.
Sister-in-law, Sai'er said you called me, what's the matter?
Qiao Sanxiu walked over slowly, put his hands in his pockets, and asked Zheng.
Her third uncle, you're here
Zheng Shi heard Qiao Sanxiu's voice, raised his head, said with a smile, and then looked at Qiao Sai'er who followed him and said,
Her third uncle, can we tell you about it?
Didn't say anything, Sai'er just said that you have something to say to me.
Qiao Laixiu said, saw the cucumber on the cucumber shelf, picked one down, wiped it casually with his sleeve, put it in his mouth and ate it.
With a smile on his face, Zheng said:
I'm going to say hello to the third uncle, third uncle, you don't know, the Zhang family's reply.
When Qiao Sanxiu heard this, he grinned and responded:
Sister-in-law, what you said is true?
But it's not true, can I still lie to you, after Zheng finished speaking, he said with some embarrassment, but the Zhang family made some requests.
Zheng said this, sighed again, and said:
This is also as it should be, the girl who has been pampered and raised by others has given you, and some requirements are also due.
Qiao Sanxiu listened, and the joy in his heart was suddenly extinguished by a basin of cold water, the daughter of the Zhang family was what he had taken a fancy to earlier, and begged Qiao Lao Niang to beg for it, and now there is news so soon, why not make people happy, at this moment, I heard that the Zhang family made a request, and hurriedly asked:
What are the requests?
Don't talk about anything else, just say one of them and say that you want a separate house, if you want me to say that this is not out of line, people's daughters are married, naturally they become a family, and they want a unique house, and it is convenient to live.
Qiao Sanxiu also nodded
Zheng went on to say:
So I made an idea with my mother.
What's the idea?
Qiao Sanxiu then asked.
Zheng said what he had just said to Qiao Sai'er, and Qiao Sanxiu listened to it and said:
This idea is very good, anyway, the second brother and sister-in-law are gone, and the three of Ruyi live alone in the west side of the room, which is also empty, but there is no need to be so troublesome, it is better to let them live in the West House, I will just change with the three of Ruyi.
Qiao Sanxiu didn't think much about it, so he opened his mouth and said.
When Qiao Sai'er heard this, she pulled Zheng's arm with some dissatisfaction, she couldn't be busy for so long, and finally let Qiao Ruyi and the three of them benefit.
Zheng soothed Qiao Sai'er's hand and said to Qiao Sanxiu:
Third uncle, don't you know, we Sai'er want to live in the Westinghouse, and Sai'er is also older, so it should be a boudoir.
Qiao Laixiu didn't care when she heard this, as long as she moved to the west side room and could marry the daughter of the Zhang family, she didn't care about other things, so she said:
I don't care about this, you can talk to your mother. As long as I can move to the west side room.
When Zheng heard Qiao Sanxiu's words, he couldn't help but curse in his heart, but he had to be patient and said:
I didn't say that, I thought about this matter and I still had to say it to your mother to the third uncle, but we said it wouldn't work.
What do you have to do with me, Qiao Sanxiu rolled his eyes and said,
I see that I and the three of Ruyi changed the house just right, saving trouble, besides, the three Ruyi sisters and brothers are all small, sister-in-law, you will drive their three children to live in the old house, let the family see what to say?
The third uncle didn't say that, the old house is not unlivable, why can't you let Ruyi live in the past, our family has more and more people, this is inevitable,
Zheng said, and saw that Qiao Sanxiu didn't seem to be very interested in this matter, so he said again
Third uncle, you don't know, in addition to this, the Zhang family also has a request, his family wants a dowry of three taels, these three taels are a lot, I look at my mother seems to be a little unhappy, saying that girls from other families don't need so many dowries, maybe my mother will quit this family business, and hire another one for the third uncle.
