Chapter 687
Bai Hanying saw that his wife seemed to be reviewing herself, knowing that she didn't vomit and was unhappy, and if she didn't find someone to tell her what was in her heart, she was going to get sick.
"Oh, let's hear it."
Han first sighed and was silent for a moment before saying, "To be honest, I look down on the door of the Du family a little, and I think that our daughter marries to them, which is a low marriage." ”
Speaking of this, Han lowered his head, and tears of guilt fell. She picked up the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes before saying, "People are not satisfied!" When I first found Huazhang, I felt that as long as the child was good, she didn't recognize us! Later, when I recognized Hua Zhang, I felt that this girl was closer to my mother-in-law than me, and my heart was a little unhappy. ”
These are not very pleasant, they are slowly derived, and they always have to change their taste. Fortunately, Han is still a kind person, just eating his daughter's vinegar, but he has no bad intentions.
After staying in Taoxi Town for two or three months, she always felt that her daughter was not close to her, and slowly, she had the idea of her daughter marrying low.
"It's good that you're awake now! After all, her daughter has been living abroad for many years, and she has been adopted by such a family, so it is a great luck to be able to marry into a generous family like the Du family. ”
Han said: "Blame me for being confused." Today, Huazhang suffered a catastrophe, and I understood the Du family's personality. ”
"How?" Bai Hanying's nerves were tense for a day, and he relaxed a little at this time.
"The best guys." The daughter had a difficult birth, and people blurted out that the adult was protected, and many families couldn't do it on this point. Although he had two sons before, in the eyes of many people, children and grandchildren will always be more expensive than daughter-in-law.
Besides, knowing that Hua Zhang was injured, let her sit for two months, and ask the nurse ~ mother to feed the child, so as not to let Hua Zhang not recuperate and damage his qi and blood......
Han told Bai Hanying all these things one by one.
Bai Hanying couldn't stop nodding and said, "Milk ~ Mother's business, you should be careful and find it as soon as possible." ”
Han nodded, she has lived here for a few months, and she is familiar with the surrounding environment, looking for breasts~ mother, this kind of thing can't help her.
"I'll look for it tomorrow, but I don't know if I can find it right away, what if my grandson is hungry."
"The Du family has a charter, don't you see, there is a ewe tied in the backyard, and two lambs." Bai Hanying is an official in his parents, and it is also one of his responsibilities to investigate and judge cases, he is as careful as a hair, his eyes are like torches, and he has the habit of scrutiny left over from the investigation of cases, so he has already discovered some clues.
When Tian gave birth to twins, milk ~ water was quite sufficient, and later when milk ~ water was insufficient, Du Yuniang came up with an idea to buy dairy sheep.
This time, the dairy sheep were also prepared in advance, in order to be afraid that the child would be hungry after birth.
"As soon as I heard that Hua Zhang gave birth, my heart was like being thrown into a frying pot and cooked, where could I care about anything else." Han couldn't help but fold his hands together and bowed: "Thanks to the blessing of the Bodhisattva, from the blessing of Huazhang, there is no danger and Lin'er is born." ”
Bai Hanying thought for a moment, and then said, "When you wash the third, prepare another heavy gift." ”
Han didn't react at first, "Huh? Only later did he come back to his senses, "You mean, the second uncle of the Du family?" ”
"Mountain ginseng belongs to other people, look at the year, it is at least more than a hundred years, even if it is a relative, there is no reason to give you in vain."
Han hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, you can't take advantage of others in vain." It's just that the one in the second room of the Du family didn't break off from the big house before, otherwise, let's give the money directly! ”
"No, you can't. It is said that breaking bones and connecting tendons, I'm afraid that things are not as simple as we think, you, just prepare the next heavy gift. ”
Han nodded, I understand.
Du's kitchen made a big pot of hot noodle soup.
When people are sleepy and tired, eating such a bowl of noodle soup warms up the whole body.
Du Yuniang was a little in good spirits, but she still ate the noodles with strong spirits, and felt that her body was warm, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu couldn't eat, and she didn't feel hungry anymore.
Wang Lianhua walked into the delivery room and said softly: "Madam, the old lady called you over there!" ”
Liu is reluctant to go over, although today Du Hepu saved his daughter-in-law and grandson with ginseng, but she still doesn't want to see the people in the second room from the bottom of her heart.
The people in the second room are muddy, and none of them understand things, and they have all done it themselves to end up today.
There are 1,000 Liu's 10,000 and 10,000 don't want to have anything to do with the people in the second room, but she knows in her heart that she can't help but have the final say in this matter. The girl persuaded her so many words before, and the reason was crushed, and she listened to it. It's just that if there is no mountain ginseng, then the second brother and sister-in-law will return to this home, which is their brother and sister-in-law's generosity, regardless of previous suspicions.
Now, hum~
Liu Shi only felt a stomach full of anger, but he couldn't attack, so he only said: "I'll go right away." Huazhang, you look at it here, if there is anything, you must call someone in time. ”
Wang Lanhua hurriedly responded.
Liu went to the upper room.
There were several lights in the house.
Du Hepu knelt on the ground, particularly conspicuous. He kept his head down, didn't speak, and looked very lonely.
Li sat on the kang, Du Yuniang sat beside her, Du Heqing sat on a chair on the side, and Du Ankang stood behind Du Heqing.
Only Yang Zheng sat in a corner, as if the light could not shine on his body, and hid half of his face.
The whole family has arrived, except for those who are not old.
Such a big battle is set out, and it is estimated that there will be no thunder and little rain.
When Liu thought of this, his heart was very blocked, but he still walked in.
Li beckoned to her and asked Liu to sit next to him.
Du Yuniang shook her head slightly at Liu, meaning that she should be cautious in her words and deeds, no matter whether Du Hepu returns to this home or not, it is not something she can say, it is not cost-effective to offend her grandmother in vain.
Liu's heart was slightly settled, nodded, and sat upright.
Lee's eyelids were half-closed, not knowing what he was thinking.
Du Hepu, who was kneeling on the ground, was very calm, looking very different from the past.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, Tian's had a difficult birth and escaped death. At this time, everyone was really tired, but they had to cheer up and deal with the sudden appearance of Du Hepu.
"You're an old man, get up and talk." When Li said this, his tone was very cold, as if he was facing an outsider.
Liu thought to himself, the old lady is pretending to show them.
Du Yuniang looked at Liu teasingly as if she knew Liu's thoughts, as if reminding her not to think too much.
Liu Shi suddenly felt that his throat and eyes were dry, and he coughed lightly twice.
Du Hepu had already gotten up, but he didn't dare to sit, and stood on the side in a proper manner, like when he was a child. Li couldn't help but think that when the old man was still there, there were rules in the family like this. Although the Zhuang family does not have any family style, there are still rules.
The two sons are sensible and obedient, and they are obedient to their elders, I don't know how many people envy them!
Alas!
Li Shi collected his thoughts, raised his eyes and said, "You ginseng, at a critical moment, but you have helped solve the big trouble." Brother, settle accounts, boss, give him the money. ”
"Hey!" Du Heqing hurriedly took out two hundred taels of silver, "If it's not enough, there is still cash at home." ”
Du Hepu felt sad in his heart, but who could blame him? It's he who has lost his good days!
"Mother, this ginseng, don't want money......" The movement of his speech seemed to bring a point or two of crying, "This ginseng was dug by me from the mountains, and I don't need money." ”
"Brother, settle the account, you still take it!" Du Heqing put the silver in Du Hepu's arms and looked at him twice.
Du Hepu's face was weathered, and he looked five or six years older than himself. Looking at his hands again, they were frostbitten, and his fingers were cracked with many holes.
In previous years, I farmed at home, and I didn't do it like this.
Du Hepu angrily threw the bag of silver next to his burden.
"Thank you for today."
Du Hepu raised his head and said, "Big brother, you really don't recognize me as a brother, Ankang is not my nephew?" That kid doesn't call me a second grandfather? ”
Du Heqing was speechless, but Liu couldn't help muttering, "It's all broken......
She was the closest to the Li family, and others didn't hear it clearly, but the Li family really heard it.
also understands Du Yuniang.
Du Yuniang felt that she should take her mother away at this time, anyway, they couldn't solve any problems or make any decisions here, so why stay and worry about it!
Du Yuniang decisively got off the kang, "Mother, you come out with me, I have something to tell you." ”
Liu also took the steps handed over by his daughter and went out of the upper room.
The two of them went back to Du Yuniang's house one after the other.
There was only a small oil lamp in the room, Du Yuniang took out the scissors, cut the wick with the skillful lamp, and then sat down.
Liu knew that his daughter was preaching again, and he was very annoyed.
Everyone is a mother's training girl, and it's good to come to their house, so I've been transferred.
Du Yuniang poured a glass of water for Liu, "Why are you so breathless!" ”
"I just can't get angry!" Liu was so angry that he even gasped~ a little heavier, "Those disasters back then, one by one, one by one, I remember it clearly." We cleaned up such a big mess. said that it was good to divide the family, but it was not clear whether it was clear, and it was said that it was okay to break off the family, and now people are coming to the door again. ”
Du Yuniang hurriedly said: "You drink saliva to dissipate your anger." ”
Liu picked up the water cup and drank it clean, and put the water cup on the table heavily, "Can I not be angry?" How do I degasrate? I thought I could get the stinky fish in the second room out of the pot, but now? It's not a star to eat a hundred beans. ”
Du Yuniang never knew that there would be such a thing as menopause when a woman reached a certain age, otherwise there would be no need to wonder why she said it well before, but at this moment, her mother has drilled the tip of the horns again.
"Mother, didn't we say it before!" Du Yuniang got up and walked behind Liu, pinched her shoulders and beat her back.
"Whatever they decide, you don't have to squeak. If you don't look at anything else, just look at the second uncle who took the ginseng today and saved his sister-in-law and little nephew, you should also want to open it. ”
When it comes to this, Liu really has nothing to say.
"Alas, Yu Niang, where did you say that your second uncle's ginseng came from! He said that he picked it himself, is it credible? "I've never heard of the second child having such a ability before!
"Perhaps! Didn't you see that my second uncle had chilblains on his hands, maybe he really went to the old woods. I've heard that it's hard to pick ginseng, and if you go to the forest, you won't be able to get out for a month or two. In the deep mountains and dense forests, there are many poisonous insects and beasts, and if you are not careful, you will lose your life, and you will exchange your life for money! ”
Liu flattened his mouth and stopped talking.
"Mother, don't be angry with the second room! I look at my second uncle now, and he is completely enlightened! You said, before that, can he do such a hard and dangerous job of picking ginseng? ”
Liu thought about it and sighed, I hope he has grown up!
At the same time, on the upper room, Du Ankang had been 'kicked out' out of the upper room, and Yang Zheng also went out of the house with him.
At this time, there were only Li and his two sons in the upper house.
"Okay, why did you go north to pick ginseng?" Li's tone was not impatient, but if he listened carefully, he could still hear a little doubt.
"That job, but it's not easy, you can bear that suffering?"
Du Hepu said: "Mother, before I went to dig ginseng, I also ran on a boat, not to mention the wind and rain, and I couldn't make a lot of money." When encountering river bandits, the life is not guaranteed. ”
"Humph!" Li said: "Who are you to blame? Which one is to blame? ”
Du Hepu said again: "It's a coincidence, didn't I come back last time?" When I was walking, I met an old man on the way, and I didn't know if he was hungry or frozen, so he fell on the side of the road. I couldn't bear it for a while, but when I saw that he still had a breath, I saved the person. This old man has the ability, he is a ginseng picker, his personality is a little eccentric, he doesn't like to go into the mountains in a gang, and he does a single stick by himself, that is, he goes into the mountains to collect ginseng alone. ”
Li and Du Heqing listened to this, as if they were listening to a book from heaven.
"I saved him, and he was very grateful, and knowing that I had nowhere to go, he asked me if I wanted to go with him into the woods." Du Hepu only said: "I also had no way out at that time, and I knew that I would go into the forest to dig ginseng to make money, so I gritted my teeth and followed him." ”
This walk is a year.
This year, Du Hepu suffered hardships that many people can't imagine in their lives, he followed the old man into the mountains to dig ginseng, and almost gave his life to the mountains several times. The most dangerous time was when they dug up two large 'mallets' that were about 300 years old, and they were targeted and almost died at the hands of those people.
Du Hepu hid all these dangers and hardships, and only said: "That old man is old and has earned enough capital, if it weren't for the sake of repaying my life, he wouldn't have entered the mountain again." I followed him for a year and got a lot of benefits, and the ginseng in my bag was dug up by him. ”
There was a brief silence in the room, and no one spoke.
After a while, Du Heqing couldn't help but ask, "What are your plans next?" ”
"I sold the ginseng and prepared a dowry for my two daughters." Du Hepu asked, "Brother, when will Xiaozhi and Xiaowan come back?" ”
