Chapter 40 Splendid

Xiao Tao smiled, "Okay, let's go!" ”

Jumping in the car, I saw that there was a box of snacks in the car, two big roosters, and two light blue muslin cloths, thinking that it was probably prepared by my sister-in-law.

hugged Shao Cong into his arms and pinched his tender little face, "What have you both learned for a while, give the eldest sister a back!" ”

Shao Shan's big eyes rolled, "Eldest sister, you said that you are illiterate, then we made a mistake and you don't know!" ”

Xiao Tao flicked his head, "You ghost elf, look down on your sister, who said I don't know, you will be weak when you back wrong, I will know as soon as I see your eyes, back it!" ”

Shao Cong immediately raised his hand, "Eldest sister, I'll come first, I'll recite Zhuzi's family motto,"

Xiao Tao nodded, Shao Cong shook his head and began to recite, "Zhu Zi's family motto, get up at dawn, sprinkle and sweep the court, and be clean inside and out; When you are faint, shut the door, and you will check it yourself. A porridge and a meal, when thinking about where to come from, it is not easy; Half a thread and half a thread, the constant thought of material resources is difficult. ……”

Xiao Tao's father listened to his youngest son reciting aloud, although he didn't fully understand what it meant, but he was very happy in his heart, and his son would be able to be a big official in the future.

Jinxiu's family is in the westernmost part of the town, my sister Zhou Jinxiu is sixteen years old, she has been married in October of last year's lunar calendar, her mother-in-law is the youngest son of a grocery store in the town, their family has two sons, the eldest is twenty-two or three years old, there are already two girls, the family background is okay, it was introduced by the sister-in-law, and the younger sister is cheerful and lively and sensible, stronger than the original owner, so Liu Juan is still very good to her.

After about half an hour, the group arrived at the door of Jinxiu's house, and they lived together in a large courtyard. The old man lived in the main house, and the two children lived in the wing room on one side.

Xiao Tao and they got out of the car, and Xiao Tao Dad carried the summer clothes package prepared by Xiao Tao Niang for Jinxiu, as well as some snacks bought by Xiao Tao Daddy, and two chickens. The cloth that Liu Juan had prepared entered the door.

Bypassing the shadow wall painted with peonies in full bloom, I just wanted to call someone, but I heard bursts of suppressed crying coming from inside.

Xiao Tao and his father glanced at each other, could it be that Jinxiu was bullied? hurriedly walked to the west wing where Jinxiu lived, shouting as he walked

"Splendid, girl! What's wrong? ”

Shao Shan Shao Cong shouted as he ran, "Second sister, second sister, we came to see you, who bullied you?" The two of us hit him together! ”

As a few people were shouting, they saw Jinxiu coming out of the east wing, with surprise and joy on his face, and there were no tears.

Xiao Tao looked at the splendor, melon seed face, willow eyebrows, small and delicate nose and mouth, white and clean, wearing a lotus lotus dress, very delicate and beautiful! is much more durable than the original owner, like the eldest brother Zhou Shaoliang. watched them shout happily, "Dad, eldest sister, Shao Shan, Shao Cong, why are you here?" Let's go, let's get inside! ”

Saying that, he came out of the east room, pulled Xiao Tao and his father back to his room, Xiao Tao and his party entered the west wing, which was three major rooms, and the middle was the living room, with a long table, a large square table, and two chairs.

Jinxiu led them into the north room, where there was a carved bed with a red brocade tent, a round table, and four round stools, all covered with a cover embroidered with lotus koi. There are also two large carved wardrobes side by side, both of which are clean and bright.

These furnishings may not be much compared to the big ones, but they are already very good for the villagers.

Jinxiu was very happy, excitedly pulled Xiao Tao's father and Xiao Tao to sit down, hurriedly poured water, and took out melon seeds, peanuts and candy to beckon the two younger brothers to eat.

Xiao Tao sat down with the wandering Jinxiu, and took her pulse by the way, seeing that although she was pregnant, it was not long and she was not yet pregnant.

Jinxiu sat down and asked excitedly, "Dad, eldest sister, why are you here?" I miss you so much! Last time I went to my eldest brother's house, you have already gone back, and I haven't seen you, Ah Wei has been busy recently, and we don't have time to go back to the village to see you! ”

Xiao Tao probed her pulse to be strong and healthy, so she was relieved.

Since his daughter got married, although he knew where his home was, it was the first time he came to the door, and he was happy, "Okay, we are all good, don't worry about us, you pay more attention to your body, your mother made you two clothes, Dad bought you two chickens, make up for it, your sister-in-law gave you two horses, she said that she has no time to make clothes with the child, let you watch the child's small clothes." ”

Jinxiu looked at what her father was taking, knowing that her father and mother loved herself, and she was afraid that she would be underestimated in her mother's house, "Dad, I'm fine, it's not easy for you to make money, keep it for my younger brother to study!" My parents-in-law and Ah Wei are very good to me! ”

Xiao Tao saw that this sister was indeed much more sensible than the original owner, and gossiped and pulled Jinxiu's hand and asked in a low voice, "Then who was crying just now, what's wrong?" ”

Jinxiu glanced at the east wing and sighed, "It's a sister-in-law, I just gave birth last month, and I am a girl, and the three daughters, my father-in-law and mother-in-law and eldest brother are uncomfortable, and I am discussing that I want my eldest brother to take a concubine, and my sister-in-law is sad, and my mother's family can't speak, and I can't help!" I don't know if I'm pregnant with a boy or a girl! ”

Xiao Tao said with relief, "It's okay, don't worry, I'm in such a hurry, but it's only three, are you afraid that there won't be a boy if you have a few more?" It's hard to find a woman to give birth, and to find several women to give birth, and to raise a few more women, tsk! Women are the best at spending money, and they can't settle accounts! ”

Xiao Tao thought that the idea of boys passing on the family line in this era was deep-rooted, and he couldn't change it, and he didn't need family planning, and it hurt people's hearts to take concubines, so it was better to have a few more, and he would always be satisfied!

Jinxiu was amused at once, "Haha! Eldest sister, you really have this idea... Well! But it makes sense when you think about it! ”

A few people chatted for a while, Xiao Tao's father said that he was going home, Xiao Tao took off the money bag from his waist, took out ten taels of silver from it and stuffed it to Jinxiu, "Jinxiu, we are going to build a house during this time, there may be no time to see you, you look at what you need to buy it yourself, don't be reluctant, you can't lack nutrition when you are pregnant, you can buy what you want to eat, you are short of money, ask someone to give your sister a message, and your sister will send it to you!" ”

Jinxiu looked at the ten taels of silver in her hand and was stunned, "Eldest sister, where did you get the money?" ”

Xiao Tao smiled triumphantly, "Your sister earned it herself, don't worry about it!" When my sister earns enough one day, I will give you a thick dowry, so that you don't rely on anyone to live, and your mother-in-law will not dare to give you a concubine! ”

Jinxiu glanced at his father, saw that his father nodded, and this is what he meant, he was very moved, or his family felt sorry for himself, so he put it away, although the eldest sister said it very well, but he still didn't believe it in his heart, and put away the ten taels of silver, and then give them to them when they needed it.
