Chapter 139, Tian's intercession
After Lin Kangping left, Zilu and they also started school, and the days at home returned to the previous desertion, fortunately, Ziqing has to be busy with more things, watermelon and cucumber seedlings, etc., but also to check the fruit seedlings cultivated last year, in addition to Zifu to get married this year, Ziqing to do embroidery, Shen asked her to embroider a three-foot-wide and nine-foot-long floor-to-ceiling screen, because it is for parenting, Shen let embroider a hundred children's map, and asked Zeng Ruixiang to help her draw a picture a year ago.
On this day, Zeng Ruixiang had just finished lunch, Tian came over alone, first pulled Zeng Ruixiang to say some housework, praised Shen's ability, and had a plan in his heart, "Look at this past few years, your life is really getting more and more prosperous now, my mother now understands that my second daughter-in-law is capable, in the end, she is from a stronger background, and several children are also taught well, Zifu doesn't need to be said, Zilu and others also know how to be motivated, Ziqing and Ziyu will not be bad in the future, especially Ziqing, who has known to share for her mother since she was a child, That day, I learned that she had learned to be in charge of the house since she was a child, Xia Yu said that you have not been at home for a few years, Zifu and his mother have to worry about outside things, and the affairs at home have to rely on Ziqing. To say that among these daughters-in-law and daughters, the most fortunate ones are hard-working, diligent, and have good craftsmanship, and they don't have to worry about living, but it's hard for her to suffer for the past few years. ”
Ziqing sounded very abnormal, it was impossible for the old lady to come to praise her mother, and what she said was particularly soft, she must have asked for something, Ziqing thought about it with her toes, and knew that she was for the Chunyu family.
Zeng Ruixiang heard his mother mention the past, and remembered the difficulties of the Shen family in those years, and his heart became sour, and said: "It's not that I have suffered a few children and their mothers, Yumei has to take Zilu to work in the field, Ziqing has to take care of Zixi who is a few months old, and she has to cook the family's meals and wash the family's clothes, she was only six years old at the time, and she couldn't even reach the stove." The family can have today. It's all thanks to their mothers, and I also picked up a ready-made one when I came back, and speaking of which, I'm ashamed of them as a father. ”
Tian frowned when he heard this. A little deviated from her direction, and hurriedly said: "The family is close to each other, where can you tell so clearly, no matter what, you are also the father of the children and the head of the family." The days to come are still long, and you won't come home. Isn't it the backbone of the family, the children still rely on you, and your father and I can only point to you now, your eldest brother, who knows when he will come back? ”
Zeng Ruixiang didn't answer, Tian paused, and had to speak again: "Your eldest sister is really repentant at home now, and she knows that she was wrong." Let me tell you, they are all close relatives, so don't be angry with her anymore. She cried and said let you forgive her, this New Year's Day, she wiped her tears all day long, we are old people, and it is uncomfortable to watch your brothers and sisters like this, in fact, Gui Ying's matter is really not to blame your sister-in-law, the child's eyelids are shallow, and he was blinded when he saw Ziqing's things, so he lost his hand, and Da Mao Na has now been taught a lesson by Kang Ping. He also had his finger cut off, and this time he lent him a hundred guts, and he didn't dare to break it. Son, my mother is also so old, you just listen to your mother's advice and spare her this time. What's more, Da Mao also knows that he is wrong, he kneels at the door of your house for a long time, and he has said what he should say, so you don't have to worry about a child anymore. Your eldest brother hasn't come home for a few years, and your brothers and sisters have become like this, isn't this just digging out my heart? As he spoke, Tian really wiped it out.
Zeng Ruixiang was also very uncomfortable when he heard it, after all, he was the sister of a fellow mother, and Tian also mentioned Zeng Ruiqing, the family was like this, how could an old man not worry, looking at Tian's old face, Zeng Ruixiang also softened at this moment, sighed, and said: "As long as she doesn't do anything wrong in the future, I won't care about the previous one." ”
Tian was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "That's good, that's good, it's still my son Mingli." Your sister is outside, so I'll tell her to bring the children to kowtow to you. ”
After Tian finished speaking, he hurriedly walked out, Ziqing and Shen glanced at it, they were a little inexplicable, it was said that they wanted to kowtow and admit their mistakes, they should have come a long time ago, this year is over, the festival is over, everyone in the family has gone out, how can this just enter the door, and besides, didn't Da Mao kowtow at the door in the second year? Where did Ziqing know that when she came back from Xia Yu's house, the old man had already agreed with them and asked them to apologize, Da Mao and Gui Ying were still stunned by Lin Kangping, and they had to wait for Lin Kangping to leave before they came over.
Within a few minutes, Tian led Chunyu, Da Mao, and Gui Ying in, Yan Renda didn't come with him today, probably because he was afraid that Zeng Ruixiang would be angry when he saw him and wanted to play the family card.
Ziqing then entered the house, the door was open, but I wanted to hear which one was singing today?
"Second brother, my sister came today to admit a mistake to the second brother, the second brother has been treating the sister well all these years, it is the sister's lard that blinds her heart, the toad wants to eat swan meat, and she is delusional to let Da Mao marry Ziqing, and the family will not have to live a hard life from now on, all the mistakes are the sister's fault, please forgive the sister for the sake of the father. The sister kowtowed to the second brother. Chunyu really knelt down after speaking.
Seeing that Zeng Ruixiang and Shen didn't help her up, Chunyu asked Da Mao and Gui Ying to kneel down again, and said: "The matter of Da Mao and Gui Ying, it's really a child who is not sensible, Da Mao came back and said that he saw Ziqing and the boy talking and laughing together, and he was dizzy for a while, so he splashed something on Ziqing, and Gui Ying too, looking at Ziqing's things, his eyes were red, and he accidentally poured the boiling water crookedly, no, the two of them also knew that they had done something wrong, come, kowtow to the second uncle and the second uncle, and ask the second uncle and the second uncle to forgive you." ”
Although Da Mao and Gui Ying were unwilling, they still knelt down, kowtowed three times, and said: "Second uncle, second uncle, all the mistakes are our fault, it's none of my mother's business, I beg the second uncle and the second uncle to spare us for my mother's sake." Da Mao's attitude was more or less sincere, but it was estimated that he was scared by Lin Kangping, more fear than repentance, and Gui Ying's eyes were somewhat unconvinced.
Ziqing looked at it and practiced it in advance at home, otherwise, the words couldn't be said so smoothly, but the shame on her face was nothing, and the most important thing was that what she said was not the truth, so it can be seen that there was no sincerity.
Zeng Ruixiang also saw this, a little disheartened, but he was too lazy to worry about a junior, sighed, and let them get up, Chunyu thought that he had passed this time, and his face couldn't help but be a little proud. In Zeng Ruixiang's eyes, he was even more disappointed, it seems that the old saying is not bad. Dogs can't change their eating.
Shen didn't know what Zeng Ruixiang was going to do, but seeing his expression, she didn't seem to be happy, so she was relieved. Knowing that her husband was not moved by them, she could see that Chunyu was insincere, and Zeng Ruixiang couldn't see it, but she was afraid that the sadness in her heart was a lot more than her.
Tian saw that his son had spoken, but he didn't expect things to go so smoothly, so he forgot the old man's advice to go this time. Just ask for forgiveness from the second family, don't mention anything. Ke Tian looked at the second family wearing gold and silver, eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, looking at Chunyu, she still didn't know what year's old clothes on her body, or the fabric that the Shen family gave as a gift at the beginning, she took it and made a new dress for Chunyu, these past few years. The Shen family is now sending over the finished clothes, and she has no choice but to think about it, as are the children. Every year, I still tear some fabrics to make a few clothes, but what about these grandchildren, not to mention Ziqing, even the little Ziyu is a new dress on the left and on the right.
After such a comparison and thinking about it, Tian Shi said: "My son, you still know your mother's heart, my mother saw that your brother and sister were reconciled, it was really sweeter than eating honey." Oh yes, but then again. Your sister-in-law's life is indeed a little more difficult, and they have also figured it out, Ziqing is impossible, Da Mao Xiang has seen a female baby, and if she wants to marry on the sixth day of February, your eldest brother will definitely not come forward. Son, why don't you go and support the façade of your sister-in-law's house. ”
Zeng Ruixiang flatly refused, and said: "It is also the business of the Yan family to support the façade, how can the Zeng family run to support the façade for the Yan family, there is no one to laugh at the Yan family." I'll put the ugly words first, and it would be good if I would be willing to attend his wedding banquet then, and there will be no more congratulatory gifts, so don't think about it. ”
Tian was so angry when he heard this, he said that he had spent half a day, thinking that he had persuaded his son to soften, looking at his son's attitude, he was afraid that he was a little too hasty, so he remembered the old man's advice, regretted that he shouldn't have opened this mouth, and had to give up, and pulled a few of them back angrily.
Shen secretly told Ziqing that he definitely wanted to give a decent meeting gift here. The two looked at each other and smiled, now they could finally have less contact.
After dinner that day, the four of them sat in the east room chatting, Shen pinched his fingers and calculated that Zifu should enter the examination room, how many months to release the list, how many months to get home, how many months to get married, etc., Ziqing suddenly thought of a question. "Dad, mother, which room will be used for the new house where the eldest brother gets married?"
"Isn't there a spare room in the West Wing, is there any problem?" Shen asked.
"Mother, my sister-in-law is new to our house, and we share a bathtub clean room, there must be a lot of inconvenience. For me, I don't want to. Besides, the second brother will get married in two years, where does he live? Mo Ruo took this opportunity to build four small courtyards in our house, and they lived alone, they were also comfortable, and it was convenient for us. ”
Ziqing's words made Zeng Ruixiang and Shen both stunned, they didn't take these things into account these days, whose daughter-in-law didn't live together, they all came over at that time.
The Liu family is also a family of poetry and books, presumably there are a lot of rules and regulations, and the boys in the family have gradually grown up, and there are indeed many inconveniences to live together. First of all, going to the toilet and bathing is the biggest inconvenience, thinking of these, Shen said: "It's still Ziqing who reminds us, our family is not without this condition, how can there be a sister-in-law and a brother-in-law who share a clean room." There is no shortage of this bit of silver in the Hengzhu family, so one person will build a small courtyard for them, and there are twenty taels of silver that is enough, plus furniture or something, one hundred taels is about the same, and the woman of the cage wardrobe or something will marry. To build now is about to start, but also to make a new bed, this bed can not be sloppy. ”
Only then did Ziqing know that the local custom is that the cage, wardrobe, bedding, etc. can be married by the woman, but this bed must be from the man, and on the wedding night, the man's bed and the woman's bedding are all particular.
Shen is an anxious child, thinking of this, he hurriedly asked Zeng Ruixiang to think about what kind of yard to build and what kind of furniture to make.
"The children will still have to be divided in the future, but they come back every year for the Chinese New Year to gather, and the house doesn't need to be too big, just a few houses are enough. Just like us, there are five main rooms, and two side rooms in the east and west. Mo Ruo waited for Zifu to go home, asked his opinion, and then asked the woman's opinion, and the wedding date was scheduled for autumn. ”
Shen listened to this reason, and the children always had to like it to live happily. I'll put that aside for now. (To be continued)
