Chapter 16: Husband and Wife's Night Talk

In the house here, Zhang's father washed his feet and sat on the kang, and saw Zhang's mother squatting next to the kang cave as if she was looking for something.

", what are you doing? It's dark, and you can't see clearly. It's not the same if there's something to find tomorrow. It's not up yet, it's time to rest. ”

"I'll show you something later. Don't be too surprised. Mother Zhang didn't reply, and said with a smile.

"Look at you're still mysterious, there's something in our house that I don't know. ”

Zhang's mother turned around, holding a gray clay pot in her hand. The look of joy on his face that could not be concealed. He smiled at his own man sitting on the kang.

"Hey, why did you take out the piggy bank, our family shouldn't have much money, I went to the market today to buy salt and cut meat." But looking at your happy face, you still can't get rich. Zhang's father chatted.

"Hey, you're really iron-mouthed, and you really guessed it, aren't you getting rich today. ”

Mother Zhang stepped forward with a smile and poured the three taels of silver and a bunch of copper plates in the piggy bank on the kang. Ding ding dong, the sound of the impact between the copper plate and the copper plate is the sound that Zhang's mother likes to hear.

"Her father, you see this is our daughter today, who sold the honey and got four taels of silver in exchange. The honey given by my daughter's master was really good honey, and a bottle of two catties of honey was sold for two taels of silver, and even the bottle of honey was sold for two taels of silver. You don't know that when I received these four taels of silver, my heart was like kicking a little rabbit, pounding and jumping. It's like a dream, it feels so unreal, and it takes a while to come to my senses. ”

Mother Zhang kept talking happily, and in the dim room, she could see that the look in her eyes was so bright. The face that is getting old and haggard is changing to a kind of brilliance at this time, which makes people look a lot more vivid.

Zhang's father looked at Zhang's mother in a daze, and he couldn't remember how long he hadn't seen such a vivid and vivid expression on his wife's face. I still remember when I first got married, my wife's shy face that year, I always laughed every day, I don't remember when the smile on my face gradually disappeared, replaced by a sad face.

"Daddy, child, why don't you speak, why are you in a daze!" Zhang's mother didn't get a response from Zhang's father, and couldn't help but say with a little coquettishness.

"At first, I was a little surprised, but when I heard your explanation, saying that it was the honey given by Xiaoxue's master, I was no longer surprised, after all, it was a fairy, and the gods used it, so there was still a difference. You see what she gave to our family, not to mention so much food, there are many things that we have never seen before. Delicious and filling. Father Zhang said with a slight smile.

"Cuifang, it's been a long time since I've seen you look so happy as you are today. You've suffered with me all these years. I don't have any skills, I can't even feed you, and I often starve you and your children. I feel so sorry for you and the child. Zhang's father took Zhang's mother's hand and said guiltily.

"What are you talking about? I'm sorry, although we can't live a rich life, we don't have a wife who has several rooms in the family like a rich family, and we have a lot of people, and we have to quarrel over trivial things every day. ”

Mother Zhang paused slightly, "Compared with those days, I would rather live a more miserable life, and I only hope that you will treat me wholeheartedly." I believe that our life will get better and better in the future, and at that time, will you have two hearts, and will you still want to marry another wife? After all, I'm old now, and I have so many wrinkles on my face. ”

After speaking, Zhang's mother couldn't help but touch her cheek with her hand. Suddenly there was silence, and my heart suddenly became worried, afraid that the living conditions at home would improve, and my husband would be distracted, after all, his youthful face was no longer there. And what man would not like to be like a beautiful woman? What should I do in this case, then it is better to continue to live such a hard life.

"What nonsense, you just love to think nonsense, you are old, am I not old, I am about to become an old man. How can you have that kind of thought, how can I marry a wife again, even if I have money, I can't. Don't worry, I promise that I will only have one wife in my life, so you can rest assured. Father Zhang hurriedly confessed.

"Well, you have to remember what you said tonight, or I won't follow you. If you break your promise, I'll take the child and leave this house. Make room for you. Zhang's mother tilted her head and looked into Zhang's father's eyes and said.

"Okay, I promise you won't be half-hearted, you don't talk nonsense, why leave this house, don't say this kind of thing in the future. I think one wife is very good, as you said, there are many wives, and each room has its own careful thoughts. The trivial things at home are always unfinished. It's a terrible life. ”

Father Zhang thought for a while and said, "Let me see, let's not set a family rule." In the future, our sons will have a wife, and only one wife will have them, unless the wife is barren. Otherwise, you may not marry another wife. In this way, family discord among the sons was avoided in the future. The wives that the sons want to marry must be according to their own hearts, otherwise they will be afraid that life will not be good in the future. Then you have to blame us again, and that won't be good. Do you think this is good?" Zhang's father asked Zhang's mother.

"Well, that's good, family harmony is important. It is said that home and everything is not prosperous. Tomorrow I will say yes to my sons, so that they must remember. Take this as the rule of the Zhang family and pass it down from generation to generation. ”

In this way, the husband and wife went from looking at the silver to making the family rules, and the span of this problem is really big!

The two of them solved it, and the internal hidden dangers in the future returned to the silver on the kang.

"The family now has money, and the eldest will be able to find him a daughter-in-law in two years. An ordinary farmer is estimated to be a good daughter-in-law for only five taels of silver. Let's save it first, although it is not enough, but there are still two years, and we will definitely make up enough for five taels of silver. I was worried about delaying my son's marriage, but now I am finally relieved and no longer so anxious. Now it's time for us to inquire where there are good girls, and then we can see a few more and pick a good one for our son. You must be hardworking and capable, but also have a good temper, but you can't marry a stirrger, and then you won't be able to live. ”

Mother Zhang is now beginning to think about which village and which village has a suitable good girl.

"Alright, it's not early, pack up the money, we should go to bed." Father Zhang said as he packed up the silver and put it all in the money jar. Mother Zhang took the money jar and put it back in the kang hole again to hide it.

took off his shoes and returned to the kang, the two of them covered the quilt, Zhang's father took Zhang's mother in his arms, and soon, the two of them were stacked together. There was a blushing sound in the room.
