According to the custom of the village, the newlyweds start to open their seats in the early morning and serve them at lunch; However, the second marriage or the old man's renewal is a banquet in the evening, compared with the young remarriage, the ceremony of the old man's renewal can only be described as shabby, nothing more than the man and woman put on a new set of clothes, and then the two families have a meal together, and rarely invite outsiders to participate.

To say that this Wang Laofu is also a hard-working person, because his parents died early, he has been lonely since he was a child, and he grew up by eating hundreds of family meals, and it is precisely because of this that he and Liu Gener have a lot of heart-wrenching words. After being blinded and bullied by others, Wang Laofu asked for a mentally ill abortion girl to be his wife when he was established, but this mother-in-law died in childbirth when she gave birth.

Because such a homeless girl was lost, the family's family later came to the door and insisted that the girl was killed by him. But Rao is like this, Wang Laofu didn't even have a corpse. After this turmoil, Wang Laofu was completely dead, and made up his mind to be a glorious old man for the rest of his life. However, the old secretary was kind-hearted, and he also felt that Wang Laofu was too pitiful, so he wanted to pull the strings and match a widow Zhang in the same village with him.

Widow Zhang was also a hard-working person, five or six years younger than Wang Laofu, and was brought back by her husband from outside the customs at the age of sixteen. But his husband is also an idle master, who likes to do some tricks and abductions, and can be away from home for eleven months out of twelve months a year. A few years after getting married, this kid and a fox friend ran to another county, Zhang Luo wanted to contract a hillside quarry, ran back and forth for more than a year, and owed a lot of debts, but the first shot of the mine collapsed him into the ravine, and he couldn't even recover a corpse.

After her husband died, facing the dilapidated grass house with only four walls, Widow Zhang left her two- or three-year-old child to die several times, but she was saved by her mothers-in-law in the neighborhood. In the end, it was the old village secretary who came forward to write an IOU and make a guarantee, so that the creditors dispersed one after another. may be because of the same disease, the two families live not far away, Wang Laofu also contributed a lot from it, what farming, repairing the house are all his help to maintain, although the two families are not the same surname, but they really have the feelings of brothers and sisters.

The old secretary asked the matchmaker to come to the door and said a few times, but Widow Zhang's mother-in-law's family just didn't agree, and a lot of reasons for her reputation and real estate came out, and even in the end, Widow Zhang proposed to leave the house, and Wang Laofeng proposed that the child would not follow his surname, and the house and real estate in the future would be owned by the stepson, and the marriage could not be promoted.

After that, Wang Laofeng was worried that he would be suspected of having melons and plums, so he simply built an earthen house in the wasteland and moved here alone. Whenever he was busy with farming, he would go to Widow Zhang's field to hoe and harvest grass as soon as dawn, and then go home to cook and eat after finishing his work. I did the work, I was busy helping, but I didn't go to the door of the Zhang family, I didn't see the face of the Zhang widow, and I have been helping in obscurity for 20 years.

For this matter, the people in the village scolded the Zhang family behind their backs, but this is a family matter, and no one can help anything except for the loss of two sentences, but Wang Laofu's popularity is getting better and better, and the villagers in the eight villages of ten miles are all admiring three points.

Many old ladies asked Widow Zhang in private, and after asking too much, Widow Zhang finally said with tears in her eyes: "I have no fate with Brother Wang in this life, if there is really a Yin Cao Difu, I will marry him over there, pay him back a little first, and pay back the rest in the next life!" ”

Liu Gen'er is naturally clear about this bad relationship, and even privately helped Widow Zhang bring a lot of delicious food to Wang Laofu, of course, every time he eats, his share is indispensable.

Before Liu Gen'er entered the door, Widow Zhang came out of the house, she was also wearing a red cotton jacket, and there was a red flower pinned to her head, which was quite a bit of an old tree sprouting new shoots.

"Brother Dagen'er, you're here, come into the house and sit!"

"Sister-in-law, I'm here to say hello to you!"

"Alas, what a joy!" Widow Zhang said with a smile, "I'm all a handful old, this thing is quite embarrassing, let you see the joke!" ”

"Sister-in-law, the children and concubines all nodded?" Climbing onto the earthen kang, Liu Gen'er asked.

"Sort of!" Widow Zhang frowned, and sighed again, "These are all people who are about to enter the earth, and I can't take care of that much, if they are not happy, let them go!" Anyway, in the future, I will move here with Brother Wang and I, and I won't go back, they live theirs, we live ours! ”

"Hmm!" Liu Gen'er nodded, her nose was a little sour, "Sister-in-law, big brother, no matter what others do, I'm on your side anyway!" You are all old, you have suffered a lot in the past, you have suffered a lot of sins, don't worry about those bad things, you can live your own life well, and enjoy a few more years of pure happiness! ”

"That's what my brother said!" Wang Laofu walked in with a wine jug, "I didn't do anything big, so I didn't give you a letter, brother, don't blame you!" Now that the fire is gone, and the food and drinks are cold, you will drink some of them, and don't pick on ours! ”

"Big brother, you've already said this, who is the two of us, don't talk so much!" Liu Gen'er grabbed the wine jug and filled herself with a glass first, and was about to drink it, but suddenly remembered something, "Sister-in-law, I just saw a few people outside, did you call them all in!" ”

"No!" Widow Zhang waved her hand, "It's all some help, I've already eaten it!" ”

"Oh! In fact, you should have told me a long time ago, I have enough strength, we can't do anything else, it's okay to help with some strength! ”

"How can I be willing to let you do it, it's not from the village outside, I hired it from the other village!"

Only then did Liu Gen'er understand that no wonder he didn't know any of these people, and the dress was also weird, blue coats, black pants, it was estimated that no one was willing to mix these things, so Wang Laofeng had no choice but to call a few guys from other villages.

"Okay!" Liu Gen'er nodded and raised his glass, "Today is your big day, brother, I toast you, I wish you two elders good health and old age!" ”

The meal was quite hearty, with a combination of meat and vegetables, as well as pastries and fruits.

After eating for more than an hour, Liu Gen'er was completely refreshed and drunk, although Wang Laofu and Widow Zhang did not move the dishes and chopsticks, one accompanied them on the left and the other on the right, one helped pour wine, and the other helped to cloth vegetables, completely treating Liu Gener as a super VIP. After eating and drinking, Liu Gen'er burped, crawled down the kang with a red face and red ears, and tore the sleeves of Wang Laofu's brand-new cotton jacket in a panic.

"Brother Liu Gen'er, my brother is happy today, so I want to tell you!" Helping Liu Gen'er to the door of the house, Wang Laofeng patted him on the shoulder.

"Wang ...... Big brother, you say! Liu Gen'er spat out a mouth full of wine, "As long as you say it, I will definitely ...... Listen! ”

"Drink less wine in the future, it's not good for your body, and it's easy to delay things, so save more money while you're still young!"

"That's it!" Widow Zhang also echoed and said, "Hurry up and ask for a wife, only those who have hot meals and hot kang heads are like living a life!" ”

"Okay!" Liu Gen'er nodded dizzily, "I remember this!" ”

"It's not enough to just remember, you have to go to your heart!" Wang Laofeng smiled and said, "Usually drink less, remember to drink a little brother when you want to drink a lot, and your sister-in-law and I will accompany you!" ”

After chattering and grinding for a while, Liu Laogen staggered back, and when he entered the village, it was almost dawn. Glancing at the east end of the village, Liu Gen'er went into the alley and went home to sleep. This sleep was most of the day, and it was not until the afternoon that Liu Gener was woken up by the sound of firecrackers at the mouth of the alley. He got up from the bed, didn't even bother to wash his face, put on the torn cotton jacket and ran out the door.

Before the people reached the street, they heard a burst of suona, and there was a sound of howling and crying in the noise.

"What's going on?" Liu Gen'er asked as she squeezed into the crowd.

"Yo, Liu Gen'er, where have you been, why didn't you help with this?"

"What's the matter?"

"Did you drink too much again?" The neighbor's eldest brother teased, "Wang Laofu, it's your big brother, he was gone in the middle of the night last night!" and Widow Zhang, who was next door to him, also walked together, and the two of them were on their heels, and the gap was less than half an hour! ”
