120. Build a house
Because there were no glass windows in ancient times, the interior was generally dim, and the windows were pasted with window paper, plus it was winter, the window paper was pasted with three layers, and the door was hung with impermeable cotton curtains, and the interior was even more dim.
Xie Xuan went in and blinked, and it took a while to get used to the dim light.
I saw Xie Ping'an kneeling on the ground by the kang, bowing his head and being silent.
Xie Qingshan sat on the side of the kang panting, and Xie Wang gently persuaded him while patting him on the back.
Seeing Xie Xuan and the Lin family coming in, Xie Ping'an looked up at them slightly, Xie Xuan deliberately glanced at him, Xie Ping'an was a little confused, and he didn't know what Xie Xuan meant.
I saw Xie Xuan walking quickly to Xie Qingshan, and said angrily: "Grandpa, grandma, my uncle is really too much!" Last time, I was angry with you because of that Second Sister Zhao, but this time I still don't grow up like this! Since he has to marry Second Sister Zhao, let him marry him! Let's split up!! ”
Xie Xuan's roar calmed down a room of people.
Lin hurriedly pulled her arm and hurriedly said, "Xuanxuan, what are you talking about?" Stop talking nonsense......"
Xie Xuan shook off her little thin arm, seeing that she was very angry, she stomped her feet and said loudly: "Why can't I say it?" Am I not a member of this family? I feel sorry for my grandfather and grandma! Grandpa's injuries haven't healed yet, and he is angry because of the second sister Zhao. Since the brother-in-law can't live without Second Sister Zhao, let's let them kiss me and I and separate them! In the future, I will honor my grandfather and grandmother, and let our family live more and more prosperous, so that my uncle and Second Sister Zhao will be poor! ”
There was silence in the room, Lin and Xie Ping'an looked at Xie Xuan with their mouths open, Xie Qingshan and Xie Wang were angry and relieved, and the expressions on their faces were very strange.
"It's still my family Xuanxuan who is filial, and she is much more sensible than her brother-in-law......" Xie Qingshan sighed for a while, took Xie Xuan's hand, touched her yellow hair and said.
"That's it! If your brother-in-law had half of you, he wouldn't be able to do such a thing! Xie Wang also smiled very happily, and glared fiercely at Xie Ping'an, who was kneeling on the ground.
Xie Xuan still looked angry, and said unrelentingly: "Then grandpa and grandma said, do you want to divide him?" ”
"Ahem, cough, cough......" Xie Qingshan coughed dryly, "Xuanxuan, it's not so simple to divide the family, it's not that you can divide it if you want to......"
"That's it, Xuanxuan, your brother-in-law is still young and hasn't started a family yet, how can you say that you are separating?" Xie Wang also said.
"Oh-" Xie Xuan glanced at Xie Ping'an, and said in a lengthened voice: "Then follow my uncle's wishes, marry him to Second Sister Zhao, and then divide them!" ”
"Ahem, cough, cough-" Xie Qingshan's cough became more serious, and he said a little helplessly: "Your brother-in-law is still young, divide him, he won't be able to make a living......"
"That's it, Xuanxuan, he's just making trouble for a woman, and he's going to break up the family......" Xie Wangshi took Xie Xuan's little hand, "Your brother-in-law is still filial, but he is confused for a while......"
Xie Xuan tilted her head and pretended to be ignorant: "Since grandpa and grandma don't want to split up, and don't blame my brother-in-law for making a mistake, do you want to marry him Second Sister Zhao?" ”
Xie Qingshan and Xie Wang looked at each other, and the expressions on their faces were tangled for a while.
Xie Ping'an didn't know that Xie Xuan was assisting at this time, so he hurriedly kowtowed and begged: "Dad!" Mother! After the child marries the second sister Zhao, she must be filial to the second elder, and Xianglan must also be filial to the two of you when she enters the door, if she does something that makes her father unhappy, I will not be the first to spare her! ”
"She? Still filial to the two of us? When you enter our door, it's good to ask others to point fingers at our house! Xie Wang said angrily, but his tone was a little loose.
Xie Qingshan nodded Xie Xuan's head lightly, and said with a wry smile: "You clever ghost, you are obviously going against your uncle, but you actually helped him!" ”
"Because I know that grandpa and grandma will finally agree to my uncle's marriage, but now I just have anger in my heart!" Xie Xuan smiled, "It's not worth it if you get angry again!" ”
Xie Qingshan and his wife and the Lin family couldn't help but laugh together.
"A few of us adults, we haven't understood Xuanxuan yet." Xie Wang sighed with a smile.
This episode happened, Xie Qingshan and Xie Wang's anger had already run out, Xie Wang's sighed and said to Xie Ping'an: "Children are all debts, you are collecting debts when you put them in my stomach, since you have already done things, what else can you do?" Tomorrow morning, you go and ask Mrs. Guo to come over, give the bride price, and get married after the year! ”
There is a sentence Xie Wang didn't say, she was afraid that Second Sister Zhao's stomach would bulge before she became a relative, and when the time came, it would be really embarrassing!
Xie Ping'an was overjoyed when he got this, and kowtowed three times to Xie Qingshan and Xie Wang's family, and couldn't help but say with joy in his mouth: "More fathers and mothers are fulfilled!" ”
Xie Wang's anger was not smooth, so he sat on the kang and turned his face away, ignoring him.
Xie Qingshan pondered for a while and said, "Why don't we build a house early?" Ping An became a parent, and then he had a child, and the family was still at the mercy of miles! ”
As soon as she heard this, others were fine, Xie Xuan really raised her hands in approval, she had long been fed up with earthen walls and thatched huts, neither thermal insulation nor sound insulation, she slept lightly and was afraid of the cold, and she couldn't stand it anymore.
Isn't the purpose of her working so hard to earn money to improve her quality of life?
"Grandpa, didn't we just earn three hundred taels of silver! The bean sprouts and bean seedlings in the Zhuangzi basement house are coming in every day, and the leeks and garlic are sold again during the Chinese New Year, and they can earn another 200 taels. It won't cost a hundred taels to build a house anyway, and then minus my brother-in-law's bride price, the rest of the money will buy a shop to buy cooked meat and braised meat, and there is more than that! Xie Xuan smiled, the corners of her mouth and her eyebrows were smiling, and she said happily:
"There is no one behind us, not far from the hillside, so we can simply build another yard at the back and make it into two entrances like those big families! I love Tranquility! Also, my Zhiyuan Zhicheng brother is also older, and they must have their own house in the future, and they must have a quiet place to study! ”
Lin listened to Xie Xuan talk about Zhiyuan Zhicheng, and nodded again and again, now the two children are reading and writing on the small table outside the west wing, she is weaving cloth next to her, and she is uncomfortable for the children when she looks at it.
Speaking of the topic of building a house, Xie Qingshan also rejoiced, and his face was full of wrinkles swaying on his dark face: "The courtyard of the two entrances? No one in our village has built a two-entry courtyard, which is the mayor's house, that is, the courtyard house of the blue brick house! ”
The most important thing for the old man is that the family is scattered and prosperous, and he can build a two-entry yard in the village, he is underground, and he has a bright face when he sees his ancestors!
"Then build a house first, and when you marry your daughter-in-law safely, everyone will show their faces when they see it!" Xie Wang said with a smile.
Xie Ping'an, who was standing next to him and didn't dare to say much, listened, and the smile on his face couldn't hide it.
"Okay, when Hirata comes back in the evening, let's discuss the matter of building a house, this buying bricks and tiles, buying things to entertain the people who come to help, a lot of things!" Xie Qingshan said, glaring at Xie Ping'an next to him, "There is also a bride price for Ping'an, Ming'er, you go and invite Mrs. Guo to come over, and send it to the Zhao family together!" ”
