Chapter 6: She Said Capable People (6)

In any case, the children entered this home, and this family changed dramatically, first of all, the cries of children from time to time brought vitality to the family, and then in less than a month, braving the severe cold, a large north house with five brick-to-ceiling glass doors and windows was uprooted, sweeping away ten years of poverty and decay.

I thought that this family was over, but I didn't think that such a big change happened overnight, and it really can't be said to be extremely Tailai. It is called a beauty in the hearts of capable people, spacious doors and windows, bright glass, the sun shines directly on the bed during the day, and the sun is warm, and the moonlight shines on the face through the glass when sleeping at night, and the whole room is bright and bright.

There is not much work to do in winter, many people are squatting under the wall to bask in the sun, the heart of the capable man is full of vitality and strength, he got up early, took a rake and broom, pushed on the cart to the west of the woods to sweep the fallen leaves and branches, this winter, he came back a big firewood stack. When the baby girl was sitting, her mother surrounded her with a thick quilt, afraid that she would be cold, so she found a small melon skin hat from the package and put it on her.

When the capable person was done, he came to tease her, and when he saw that she was wearing a small melon skin hat like the previous landlord, he said to his mother, "Mom, you see, how much like a little landlord!" ”

My mother was putting my father on my shoes, and when she turned her head to look at it, it looked like it. Capable people happily shouted, "Little landlord, little landlord." ”

The little baby grinned. The father also seems to understand a little, no longer shouting loudly, sometimes the child cries, and will reach out to coax, the mother is afraid that he will be clumsy, and the disease, hurt the child, always refuse, he laughed. The mother said that the child was a little lucky star, and even her grandfather's illness was much better.

The five large tiled houses stand proudly on the barren land, which is simply a scenery of ten miles and eight villages, and it is said that even the public house is not as good as this, like a palace, and I have never seen it in the village. At first, some people inquired about the family, and some people came to propose marriage, and the mother said, "As long as I love this child, I can say anything else!" ”

As soon as I heard that there was a child of unknown origin, I retreated, after all, I became a stepmother with someone as soon as I passed the door, and this stepmother was difficult to do, but it was not a joke.

Mother said, planted the plane tree will not shoot the golden phoenix, sure enough, someone came to these five big tile houses, the additional condition is to ask for a bride price of 40 yuan, at that time the general bride price of 20 yuan is considered high, but this family costs 40 yuan.

The mother said, "As long as you love this child wholeheartedly, I will give 40 yuan." ”

The Chinese New Year was too close, so the wedding date was set for February of the following year. The mother took the opportunity to visit relatives to inquire about the situation of her future daughter-in-law, after all, there are not many girls in their 20s, for fear that there is something wrong. Relatives said that the child is not bad, but the lack of discipline, a little cowardly, not this family's biological father, natural disasters in the past few years dad died, the mother really has no choice, just send her out, these years are good, her own mother to find, and there is contact, her mother is a foreigner, not very good at needlework, the child's hands and feet are frostbitten. The mother asked, "How do you put it so big?" The relatives said, "It's not that her father wants a high bride price!" If it weren't for you! This kid won't be delayed! ”

According to local customs, just after the New Year, the prospective daughter-in-law should be brought to her mother-in-law's house, so that the old and young of the family and the closest relatives can get to know each other. The mother saw her future daughter-in-law for the first time, with a square face, a little big head, combing two long black braids, cotton pants and cotton jackets on her body with several patches, and mottled stains on the sleeves of the knee placket, which looked like she had not been dismantled and washed for a winter, and the mother stepped forward to take the hand of the prospective daughter-in-law, and the prospective daughter-in-law called out shyly, "Mom." ”

The mother gently touched the thick scab of chilblains on the back of her hand.

After eating in the afternoon, it was time to send the prospective daughter-in-law back, and the mother discussed with the sister-in-law who accompanied her, saying that the capable man and his concubine did not come today, and wanted to keep the daughter-in-law at home for one night, and then send him back tomorrow when she saw him. It is said that a daughter-in-law who has not passed through the door is not suitable to live in her mother-in-law's house, and the sister-in-law who accompanied her was stunned and agreed.

sent her sister-in-law to the gate, and her mother took her hand and instructed, "Her sister-in-law, go back and talk to your in-laws, didn't you just catch up with this matter!" ”

After dinner, the mother let the daughter-in-law go to bed early and drilled the quilt, and dismantled her stained cotton jacket and cotton pants, and the mother shed tears while dismantling, the cotton sleeve in it is both palm-sized and egg-big, all little by little, piece by piece, thin and thin, thick and thick, and some of the ground is twisted into an egg, the mother can't think of how such a cotton coat is spent in winter. The mother asked the capable person to boil a large pot of hot water, scalded and washed the dismantled clothes, dried them with fire, and dismantled the cotton cover in her sister's old set of cotton jackets and cotton pants, and remade the cotton pants and cotton jackets for her daughter-in-law overnight.

The next day, the daughter-in-law wore clean cotton pants and cotton jacket and was sent back by a capable person, and before leaving, the daughter-in-law whispered to her mother, "Mom, it's so warm." ”

Mother took her hand, "Go back and tell your father and mother that if you want, after fifteen, ask him to pick you up." The daughter-in-law nodded. As soon as the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month passed, the capable man took his daughter-in-law, and he quietly told his mother that it was impossible for his daughter-in-law not to follow him, and his mother pointed at his head and scolded with a smile "little rabbit".

The daughter-in-law stayed at home, and the mother watched them go in and out of pairs, and her heart blossomed. From time to time, he nagged and nagged with his father, and regardless of whether he could understand it or not, his mother wiped his father's face and said to him, "You see that the child is going to marry a daughter-in-law, you, just eat and sleep well, don't make a mistake, don't let people laugh, don't scare the child." ”

Father just laughed.

Marrying a daughter-in-law is a big deal, especially a capable person, who was still struggling at the bottom of his life half a year ago, worrying about who would marry his daughter, as if he had hit shit luck overnight, God opened his eyes, lived in the best house, and his daughter-in-law was also in hand. Capable people are happy, and they always feel that they are inexhaustible in their work.

The spring sun shone warmly, and several sisters and close relatives gathered together a few new bedding on the surface, first laid out the mat in the patio, and then spread the mat, spread out, and several women with both children talked and laughed to make bedding for the newlyweds. The mother said, "Let's make two beds, which means that it's just that, and I gave my in-laws an extra 10 yuan, and I don't want to marry a few quilts, it's more than enough to make 5 beds and 5 covers!" ”

Liang Zi's mother stopped the needlework, "Auntie, don't think your daughter-in-law doesn't speak well, I'm afraid that your 10 yuan will be wasted!" The mother glared at her, "This child, how can you speak!" ”

Liang Zi's mother continued, "Her father, the old button, I'm afraid I won't even be willing to wear decent clothes...... Liang Zi's mother wanted to say something, but the third family touched her with her arm, and Liang Zi's mother stopped. The third family smiled, "Seeing how well my sister-in-law spoke, it hurt me to put the quilt upside down." ”

Several women laughed and said, "Paved, paved, reversed, reversed, alright, alright." No one paid attention, my father stood at the door, and asked coldly, "I heard in the house just now, who is rehabilitated, who is okay, what is this big guy doing with extravagance?" The mother was stunned, and everyone present was stunned, it had been nearly ten years, and it was the first time in nearly ten years that my father had said such a complete sentence. The mother rushed up and grabbed his arm, "Dad, you're alright!" ”

The father looked dazed: "What's wrong with me?" It's still the third daughter-in-law's brain that turns fast, "Uncle, I'm going to marry your daughter-in-law!" ”

Suddenly, his father was fine, and he didn't seem to remember anything about the past ten years, and his mother said, "It's better not to remember, and it's better not to remember than to remember." It is said that the rightist left a medicine for his second brother-in-law before leaving, saying that this medicine could cure his father's illness and ensure that he would live for three years like a normal person, and that it would take three to be completely cured, and that he only had one, and whether he could find the other two depends on the creation of his family.

The capable person is really happy, "Mom, that medicine really works!" I really didn't expect my father to watch me marry a daughter-in-law! ”

Mother began to count the days, three years, only three years! It's worth thinking about it, my father couldn't take care of himself before the medicine, he often urinated in his pants, and he couldn't even get out of bed in winter.

Able people married daughter-in-law, neither blowing and blowing nor setting up a banquet, able people picked her up on a bicycle, it is said that it was the daughter-in-law's maiden father requested, the daughter-in-law came wearing the old clothes and pants, only brought a small baggage, wrapped in a few single clothes she used to wear, the wrapping of the clothes is new, I heard that the daughter-in-law cried for three days, her father bought it for her from the supply and marketing cooperative, and only bought one, regardless of the saying that good things come in pairs, and in pairs.

The mother was very angry, angry that she met such an unreasonable in-law, and the extra money was given, but she failed to let the child marry decently, and she originally wanted to take advantage of this matter to set up a few tables of banquets, thank those who helped her, and were angry at those who stepped on herself and belittled herself over the years. The second brother-in-law was still smart and said, "Just use the money from this banquet to let them go out to travel and get married!" ”

This is the first time I've heard of this tourist marriage. The next day, I borrowed a bicycle again, and the second brother-in-law led a capable person, and the capable person took his daughter-in-law to Jinan, visited Daming Lake, the people's shopping mall, climbed the Thousand Buddha Mountain, and did not delay the last ferry boat after dark, and rushed back. How else to say that the second brother-in-law has a number, and he always calculates things so well, and he can't delay the car and ship without watching the time.
