"It's not how many people can buy at once, our family can afford it now, I want to leave Ah Lan to help me, you probably have to accompany your grandmother back to Linchuan, and then help you buy a girl, and then help the sixth sister buy a serving dowry maid, so that when you go to your in-law's house in the future, there will be someone to help." Then buy a mother-in-law in the kitchen, help the sister-in-law, and then buy a girl to accompany Xiao Shi and help the mother watch Xiao Shi by the way, and then prepare a mother-in-law who is responsible for paddle washing at home, a person who is responsible for sprinkling the yard, Uncle Huang is old after all. There are only six people in total, even if they all find the best maids, in our place in Nanfeng, more than 100 or 200 yuan is enough. Banniang said.

"You only count the accounts of the buyers, but you do not count the accounts of the expenses of the people at home?"

Banniang smiled: "What expenses can there be?" Our family now has a grange, and eating is not always a problem, and besides, isn't there still a restaurant? A few people are also about clothes all year round, and then the monthly money of 500 wen per person is a good job, and it is a consistent one month, how much can it be? Aren't we fighting for money just to live a good life? Sister, money is not saved, it is earned. ”

Qi Niang said that she couldn't do it, so she only got up and went to get a change of clothes: "Take a shower in a while and go to bed early." ”

As soon as he spoke, Ah Lan brought a bucket of water, and seeing her thin and small appearance, carrying a huge bucket, it was really difficult to sway, Qi Niang and Ba Niang were busy helping: "Why don't you ask us to help?" You're only a little older, what if you're idle? ”

Ah Lan put down the bucket and said with a smile: "Where is Ah Lan so expensive?" It's just a bucket of water, and when I used to be at home, when did I not carry a few buckets on a day? Besides, I'm fatter and stronger now than before, even I'm a year older, and now Alan is eleven years old. ”

Looking at her smug appearance, Qi Niang and Ban Niang both felt funny, and Banniang remembered that it was Ah Lan's birthday in May, so she rubbed her head and said with a smile: "No, it will be your birthday in a few days, you say, what do you want us to give you?" ”

This statement hooked Ah Lan's tears, since the death of her own mother, who else has remembered her birthday?

wiped away his tears, raised his face and smiled: "Where does Ah Lan want to have a birthday?" Don't worry about Miss Eight, May is the day when Miss Six gets married, and our family is busy. ”

Banniang pursed her lips and smiled, thinking that when the time comes, she will also buy a new dress for this girl, and then give her a beautiful plum blossom silver hairpin, how can there be a girl who doesn't love beauty? She loved it. Qi Niang asked Ban Niang to take a bath first, to get rid of the smell of oil and sweat, helped Ban Niang take the fragrant bath beans, and went to the stove with Ah Lan to carry water again.

On the second day, a large table was set up in the main hall of the front yard, where the men ate, and another table was set up in the old lady's garden, where the ladies ate, and then a large group of people sat down.

I had breakfast, because I was busy yesterday, and today I happened to take advantage of the leisure, and the whole family talked well, and Zeng Ziye ate breakfast and took his brothers to see off the guests in the inn.

Banniang took a moment and went to the restaurant, and saw that the master, apprentice and guys in the kitchen of Lao Wang were busy tidying up, and the next day it was good to open, and after a turn, I saw Lu Seventeen rushing over, and smiled at Banniang: "I know that you are also here, what you said yesterday, have you asked?" ”

Early in the morning, Banniang asked Yun Xian, but the third aunt didn't know Lu Siniang after all, although it looked good, but the engagement to her son was related to whether the family could get along in harmony in the future, and she had to know more about her character.

Banniang felt that there was a play, and explained it to Lu Seventeen, but Lu Seventeen became arrogant: "I just look at your Zeng Zijingren, if you really talk about it, I still think that he is not worthy of my sister, doesn't I think that the two families are married, and your family will not be too embarrassed by my Siniang in the future, so I have my mind?" Why do you dislike my family? Besides, this has been without parents since childhood, and it has become an obstacle to getting married? What's the matter? ”

Banniang glanced at him and said, "How can it be so easy to get married?" Not to mention in this era, even when we were at that time, we didn't pay attention to the right person? What is the end of the matter? You have to look at each other, right? What fire are you on? Didn't my third aunt say anything? Besides, if you really want to think about Siniang, you have to think about her, now is not our era, it is difficult for a man to marry a wife, I am really sorry for you, it is difficult for a woman to marry at this time, and it is even more difficult to marry a good husband, do you know? Just like you, you are in a hurry to get angry about such a small matter, and you are still a brother to others. ”

Lu Qiyi thought about it, and said that he was really going to get married, and in the future, his sister would marry into someone else's family, and he would still point to the family for forgiveness and pity, what kind of arrogance is he at this time?

Then he said, "You're right, right?" I turned around and wanted to ask Siniang to look at Zijing, if I was satisfied, there would be nothing to do with me, turn around and talk to my eldest aunt, and tell her to worry about the old man. ”

Banniang smiled: "Finally got to the point, we are going to get married after all, it's not that we have to be busy, it's the elders." As for asking the two to meet, it's not difficult, isn't this the Dragon Boat Festival soon? Looking back, you want to lead Siniang to go to the night market at night, and I also asked a few of my brothers to take us out to play, pretend to meet by chance, and then find a tea shop to drink tea, not only can you see, but also say a few words, so to understand, it's better than a secret glance, right? Besides, if it weren't for this method, with Siniang's temperament, if you want him to take a look at my brother Jing, it would be very difficult. ”

Lu Qiqi also felt that this was a good idea, after all, Siniang was familiar with several sisters of the Zeng family, and it would be natural when the time came, and they would not say anything about it, nor would they be embarrassed.

The two made an appointment and went the night before the Dragon Boat Festival the day after tomorrow. After saying a few more words, Lu Qiqi was pulled away by Li Yong, who was found. Banniang also wanted to talk about letting him find a way to make soy sauce, but he didn't say it.

The next day, Miss Fan was taken back to Linchuan by Professor Fan and Mrs. Fan, saying that if Liuniang got married, Mrs. Fan would bring Fan Danshu with her. The Zeng family kept it, and seeing that Professor Fan insisted on rushing back to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival, it was not good to stay long, so he let Xu Shisan drive the carriage and sent the Fan family to the dock.

Several aunts also went home, because Sanniang married far away, this time I went back, I don't know when I can go back to my parents' house again, and Zhu looked at Sanniang's health and didn't seem to be good, I wanted to ask the doctor to come and see, Sanniang didn't agree again, so I asked Zeng Budo to come forward and said to the third son-in-law, simply stay at home for the Dragon Boat Festival, and then wait for Liuniang to get married, and then go back to her mother-in-law's house.

Lao Taishan spoke, how dare the third son-in-law? The husband and wife kept it for themselves.

Zhu's made some supplements all day long, pressed Liuniang to eat, although not many days, but also a Sanniang's complexion is much better, but she is also a mother in the end, although it is good to stay in her mother's house, but she is worried about the two sons who stay at home, but she is not at ease, and regrets not bringing the child. This is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.

only said that the day before the Dragon Boat Festival, Banniang really said that she moved Wulang, took her brothers and sisters to a place, went to the night market to play, and went to buy things by the way. As long as it is proposed by Banniang, Wulang spoils her and spoils her boundlessly, how can there be anything that should not be, and Zijian said that everyone has the heart to go out to play, and it is terrible that the two old brothers scolded them for playing all day long, and missed their studies, so they begged to go to the old lady again, and the old lady smiled: "Play and play, just one night, I am afraid that your father will scold them, so I said that I let you play." ”

A room full of grandchildren cheered, and the old lady was the wisest.

The old lady scolded with a smile: "Your grandmother is not an official, what kind of wisdom do you want, my old woman, as long as she is an old grandmother who loves her grandchildren." ”

Wulang is the most slappy person, and Zijing is also comparable to Uncle Zhong, and the two of them are busy saying: "There is no one in this world who loves us more than grandmother." ”

Zeng did not suspect that the two brothers were there, and when they saw that the old lady had spoken, they naturally didn't dare to stop it, and after dinner, in addition to the eldest and second brothers, even Sanniang also pulled a few people to pull them, and went shopping together, and the happiest were the two little things of Gong'er and Shi Niang. When she got to the street, Alan remembered that at this time last year, she escaped from the Li family, and at that time she was full of worries, that is, the dirty things of the Li family that the maids were talking about, and she was afraid that she would also encounter it, so she thought that she had escaped, but she was afraid that she would not have the way to live as a ten-year-old girl, but she did not expect to be lucky to meet the brothers and sisters of the Zeng family, which is why she has a peaceful and stable life. couldn't help but follow behind Banniang and shed tears.

As Banniang spoke, she caught a glimpse of Ah Lan shedding tears, and she couldn't help but think of the days when she went to see this, and she was also embarrassed, it was only a year, and their lives had earth-shaking changes, which was not untouching.
