On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the Shen family went to Uncle Zheng's house in Shangyang Village.

As soon as he entered the yard, Shen Shiliu saw that his grandmother Liang was taking firewood from the firewood stack, and hurriedly shouted: "Grandma, I'm here!" ”

As soon as Liang raised his head, he saw that it was Shen Pomegranate, and he was naturally happy, and hurriedly put down the firewood to welcome him.

"You're early!" Liang said with a smile, he hadn't seen his daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter for a long time, Liang was very happy, and this time there was another granddaughter-in-law, and the old man smiled from ear to ear.

Zheng went up and held Liang's hand: "Mother, don't you say that your leg hurts and you can't walk, why are you still busy here?" "When Shen Shu got married before, the Liang family didn't go because of the old cold leg attack.

"I'm fine, last time you asked Yuzhi to drink the medicine you brought back, it doesn't hurt anymore!" Liang said, and then led a group of people into the house.

Inside, Xu Yuzhi was boiling water, and when she saw someone coming, she also stepped forward to greet her for a while.

Hong Xiuhua, as the new daughter-in-law, naturally wanted to kowtow to the Liang family first, and the Liang family sent the red envelope that had been prepared a long time ago, and looked at Hong Xiuhua and felt pro.

"Xiuhua is really handsome, our big tree is really blessed!" Liang praised Hong Xiuhua, and Hong Xiuhua smiled shyly.

Xu Yuzhi asked everyone to sit first, and as soon as Shen Shiliu sat down, Uncle Zheng and two cousins came back from outside.

"Uncle, Happy New Year!" Shen Pomegranate and Shen Shu are called people.

Uncle Zheng smiled: "You two are here, come, press the New Year's money!" ”

Zheng hurriedly stopped: "How old are you, and what about the New Year's money?" The trees are all married! ”

Shen Shiliu hurriedly said: "It's okay, my uncle must have even prepared a new daughter-in-law, let's just do it!" ”

Zheng scolded the pomegranate monkey child with a smile, and Uncle Zheng also hurriedly sent out all the red envelopes.

Zheng saw that everyone had arrived, so he said Shen Shimei's idea.

"Selling pastries, our family has sold this thing, I'm afraid it won't sell well!" Uncle Zheng is a sincere person, and he has been facing the sky in the loess of the Northern Dynasty for most of his life, and he will not do a deal.

When Xu Yuzhi heard this, he poked Uncle Zheng with his elbow and said, "If you can't sell it, you won't learn it first?" The secret recipes of pomegranate research are willing to teach us, so we have to give it a try! ”

Shen Shiliu smiled: "My aunt is right, everything is difficult at the beginning, I will teach you everything I know, it is estimated that it will be fast to get started, and when the time comes, the two cousins can also talk about their daughter-in-law earlier!" ”

Uncle Zheng sighed: "It's still pomegranate right, since this is the case, then learn, and it will be a way out in the future." At the beginning, he was still thinking about kissing and kissing, but now his two sons are not worthy of Shen Pomegranate.

Xu Yuzhi and Zheng went to the kitchen first, Hong Xiuhua also followed to help, but Shen Shiliu didn't get busy, so he sat on the kang with Liang and chatted.

"Actually, your brother Dazhu has a crush on a girl, and that girl also thinks that your brother Dazhu is good, but now the marriage is not up." Liang whispered to Shen Shimei, and he was afraid that the people in the family would be worried when they heard it.

Shen Shiliu approached and asked, "Why can't Zhang Luo get up?" Or do you dislike our family for being poor? ”

Liang shook his head: "Not really, the other party's family is also a poor family, there are many sons in the family, and marrying off the girl can save some rations and get some bride price money, but your aunt's cautious eyes are committed again, and she thinks that people are so poor, and her daughter has no dowry when she marries, and the bride price is a bit much." ”

"How much?" Shen Shiliu asked, the bride price in the village is basically about five taels, like her family marries a daughter-in-law to give the Hong family ten taels, even if the poorer ones are less, they must have two or three taels, and no matter how poor they are, they have to have pigs, cattle and sheep to replace the meaning.

Liang stretched out three fingers, and Shen Shimei understood.

"Three or two? That's not much! Even if the family is poor and has no marriage, it is not bad to be able to marry a daughter-in-law in three or two, not to mention that Brother Dazhu is quite satisfied with the girl of that family! Shen Shiliu said.

In the past few days, she feels that her understanding of marriage has become more and more profound, first the pomp of the wedding, and now the bride price, and there has been no shortage of controversy since ancient times.

The mother's family thinks that the more the bride price, the better, it is not easy to raise a girl by herself, and in modern times, you need a house and a car to deposit. My mother-in-law thinks that your girl is not made of gold, why do you want so much? My son has an academic degree and ability, what kind of can't he find?

According to Shen Shiliu's recollection, before coming to this world, the two sisters in the company were both married and discussed, but in the end, they all lost to the bride price and returned to singleness.

Liang looked in the direction of the kitchen, and then said to Shen Shiliu: "Isn't your aunt just careful, and she can't persuade her!" ”

Shen Shiliu is sorry for the Liang family, and the two eldest grandsons were supposed to enjoy a peaceful family, but they were worried because their grandsons couldn't talk about their daughters-in-law.

"Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, grandma don't worry too much, aunt, don't be too blunt in your persuasion, if you can't let my mother persuade again." Shen Shiliu knew Liang's difficulties, although his body was quite tough, after all, his age was here, and he really said that he couldn't get out of bed any day, and Xu Yuzhi took care of it, and he couldn't criticize Xu Yuzhi, the daughter-in-law.

Liang nodded, but looked at Shen Shimei's little adult and smiled: "Seeing that you are young, you know a lot!" ”

Shen Shiliu smiled, it's not that she knows a lot, it's really that the years are urging people to get old......

Zheng and Xu Yuzhi in the kitchen were chatting, and they also talked about their son's marriage, and Zheng was so sad that he died.

"Sister-in-law, let's not be so careful, can't we? People are also bitter people, your family is not much better, marry a daughter-in-law and spend three taels, what do you want? "The Zheng family is straight, and she seems to be in a hurry at this time, can't her two nephews be delayed in the hands of Xu Yuzhi?

Xu Yuzhi didn't think so, and said: "Our big pillar must be strong and powerful, and the appearance is not bad, there is still no dowry for marrying a poor girl, and the girl has many younger brothers, and she will be dragged down in the future!" ”

Zheng felt that the situation was not much different from her family, and Hong Xiuhua's family did not have a dowry, nor was it also her mother's younger brother!

"What does my mother's brother have to do with her, and if she has the conditions, forget it, with your family's conditions, do you still wonder what people will want from you?" Zheng was speechless: "Besides, it's a good thing that her mother's family has a younger brother, and when her younger brother grows up, it will be considered a big family, and everyone helping each other is better than a lone seedling with nowhere to ask for help!" On this point, she felt that Du Xuanmo's family was thin, but Shen Shiliu liked it, so she didn't say more.

Xu Yuzhi pondered by herself, and finally said: "But our family doesn't have as much money as three or two, plus the banquet, the family is also ......."

Zheng Shi was speechless: "Isn't this thinking about letting your family sell pastries, sell them for a few months, make some money, and you can do it!" ”

"How much can you make selling a pastry?" There are a lot of flowers to marry a daughter-in-law! Xu Yuzhi said that at the end of a year's planting, there are only a few taels of silver left, and after the rations, the seed planting money for the next year is gone, and the rest is only two or three taels.

Zheng was proud: "You can sell it, I promise to scare you!" "At the beginning, they could earn ten taels of silver a day for a begging festival and a Mid-Autumn Festival, even if they didn't usually do it every year, they could sell a lot.

Xu Yuzhi sighed: "It's not that I'm careful, it's that I'm really poor!" ”

Zheng also expressed his understanding: "The reason is such a reason, what you say is not to be listened to, if you have no money, you say that you have no money, what is the matter with you disliking others?" ”

Xu Yuzhi sneered, a little embarrassed, and then said: "I heard that your restaurant is open, is there a shortage of manpower?" I want to let the two pillars pass! ”

Zheng waved his hand: "Hey, I really can't be the master of this restaurant, now the whole family listens to pomegranates, you ask pomegranates!" ”

Xu Yuzhi was surprised: "What about the pomegranate?" What a little girl! ”

Zheng smiled, with pride and pride in his smile.

"Don't underestimate my pomegranate, although the whole family is helping to do it, but without pomegranates, this restaurant really can't be opened! I am not old, you and I are not young, haven't you been digging in the soil for most of your life? There's no pomegranate! ”

Hearing Zheng say this, Xu Yuzhi sneered: "But I'm afraid that people don't know that your pomegranate is capable!" But I think the pomegranate looks good now, a few days ago you said that your pomegranate has a marriage? Who's in Xu? When Shen Shu got married, she went and listened to such a mouthful, but the Zheng family was too busy to talk about it at that time.

Zheng was proud: "You don't go to the county seat much, our pomegranate has promised to be an official!" ”

Zheng told Du Xuanmo about it, but she didn't say a word about the things that Du Niangzi did in the middle, she only said yes.

"Oops, this pomegranate is really lucky! If you marry an official, you will also be an official's wife in the future! Xu Yuzhi smiled, she didn't expect Shen Shimei to have this opportunity!

"That's not it, it's also bittersweet, my pomegranate has suffered a lot!" Zheng said with a satisfied face, now that his son has married a good wife, his daughter's marriage has also been decided, and there is a restaurant at home to eat and wear, she is really blessed, and she is satisfied in this life!

Xu Yuzhi put the vegetables in his hand into the pot, and said while stir-frying: "I really have to go and talk to Pomegranate, there is not much land at home, and the child's father and Dazhu are more than enough, instead of letting Erzhu go out to work for others, it is better to work for his own family, and he can take care of it somewhat!" ”

Zheng thinks it's okay, Hong Xiuhua's younger brother has gotten to the store, and her nephew is okay, but she still has to say ugly things first.

"If you go, you can't let Erzhu be lazy and slippery, and my daughter-in-law's younger brother is also in the restaurant, so I will cause trouble at that time!" Zheng instructed.

Xu Yuzhi hurriedly agreed: "Don't worry, as long as Pomegranate nods, if there is anything lazy in our second pillar, you tell me, I will smoke him!" ”

The food was all out of the pot, the family sat together, gathered around a large table, and looked at the food of the children and grandchildren, and they were also happy.

Xu Yuzhi mentioned Zheng Erzhu going to the restaurant to help, Shen Shiliu didn't think it was anything, she also wanted to open a branch, and she took Zheng Erzhu into a hand here, and took it to Fengyang County when she poured.

"If you go to Fengyang County, it won't be easy to go home, but you have to think about it!" Shen Shiliu said, although Zheng Erzhu was stunned, he didn't have a crooked mind, cultivate it well, and the logistics work in the store will definitely be competent in the future.
