Chapter 14: An Oath That Can't Be Done
Old man Qu coughed, this is also the old man's habitual action, every time he is ready to make a big statement, he coughs twice to clear the scene, and then begins to talk at length into the theme, Qu Xiaobai is very clear.
Mrs. Qu retracted her gaze at this time, and then Qu Xiaobai suddenly saw that her grandmother had become kind and kind, and she changed her face faster than the actors in the movie in the future, and pulled Qu Liancheng to sit down beside her with a smile.
Seeing Qu Liancheng look flattered, Qu Xiaobai almost laughed.
Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief. Dad, you have to be careful, this is obviously grandma trying to calculate you.
"The third child, my mother knows that you are a good child, you have been the most considerate father and mother since you were a child, and you know that you have gone up the mountain to collect medicine to make money to subsidize the family, and thanks to you all these years, who let you have a useless father and mother." Qu Liancheng immediately became sad.
He is soft-hearted, as long as the old lady has two good words. He can coax him to fight hard.
"Mother, what do you think you are talking about? I am your son, you and my father worked hard to raise me, I will help you a little, and your life will be easier. Qu Xiaobai shook his head, this dad is hopeless.
Even if she is Sun Wukong meets a Buddha like his father who is sympathetic to the world, it is in vain.
Old Lady Qu immediately smiled like a flower on her face, this was something she had already calculated, as long as she said it so softly, the third child would surrender properly.
"Third child, my mother knows that she has wronged you all these years. But Daddy, there is no way, you said that apart from farming, we have no other skills. There are so many people in the family, big and small, without an input subsidy, how can they live this day. I called you this time because my father begged you. Old lady Qu burst into tears, and Qu Xiaobai was shocked and had goosebumps.
This old lady has paid for it.
Qu Liancheng looked at Mrs. Qu with tears in distress, and hurriedly persuaded: "Mother, if you have anything, just say it." Say what you don't ask for, don't cry, crying can't solve the problem, say it and I'll ......" The words "I am about to say yes popped up immediately.
Qu Xiaobai hurriedly stood up and said: "Grandma, don't cry, if you say anything, let my father see if he can help you do it, and help you do it, if you really don't have the ability to do it, I will discuss it with my uncle and second uncle to do it for you, and I can't embarrass you." Besides, even if the grandparents can't help it, is there still an uncle? People say that the eldest brother is like a father, and the uncle is the pillar of the family, so you should tell the uncle about something. ”
On the one hand, he blocked the old lady's words, and on the other hand, reminded Qu Liancheng that he was not the boss in the family.
Qu Liancheng was interrupted by Qu Xiaobai, and suddenly remembered that he had promised the children to think more about them today, how could he forget everything when his mother cried, he opened his mouth to agree, and he agreed without even knowing anything, and his face couldn't help but burn.
Mrs. Qu had already waited for Qu Liancheng to agree, and the rest of the words were logical, but she didn't expect to be interrupted by this dead girl halfway, this girl was not sincere to make trouble today, she deliberately made a stumbling block for herself.
"Xiaobai, where do you interject from a girl's house, hurry up, there's no water in the water tank, go fill it for me." This girl must be taken away, or it is estimated that bad things will be bad on this girl.
Qu Xiaobai's ass didn't move, he raised his head and winked at Qu Liancheng, and said in a pitiful little voice: "Dad, my legs are a little soft!" ”
Qu Liancheng immediately looked at the old lady and said, "Mother, Xiaobai's body is not well yet, I will fetch water for you in a while." ”
Qu Xiaobai's eyes immediately smiled like a curved moon, and the old lady's angry nose was about to crooked.
"Okay, you are used to it, and you have the ability to keep her for a lifetime."
Old man Qu knocked the dry cigarette gun, and the dry smoke gun knocked on the wooden table and clanged, "Talk to the third child about things, don't talk about those who don't have it." ”
Old Lady Qu paused, and insisted on holding back the words she wanted to count Qu Xiaobai.
I thought hatefully, I was almost taken crooked by this dead girl, and it wasn't for these trivial things that I was looking for the third child.
Turning his face, he smiled and said to Qu Liancheng: "Third child, that's the case, your eldest brother's Xiaolong didn't buy the bride price today, and the radio was broken, but he had already promised the woman's family." This radio must be indispensable, your eldest brother is nervous now, and he can't come up with this money. Look at your ......"
Qu Liancheng opened his mouth, and Qu Xiaobai coughed hard and coughed out of breath.
Qu Liancheng immediately turned his head and looked at his daughter nervously, and his heart was ruthless at Qu Xiaobai's narrow eyes, and his mouth was closed stiffly, and his daughter's eyes just now were Chi Guoguo laughing at him. That obviously meant to ridicule him for not being able to deliver on his promises.
Mrs. Qu waited for a long time, but Qu Liancheng didn't say a word, and she was depressed in her heart, what happened to the third child today? In the past, as long as she opened her mouth in front, she didn't need to say it in the back, Qu Liancheng would open her mouth to pick it up by herself, but today she is silent.
"What do you mean, third child?"
Qu Liancheng looked at the old lady and spit out a sentence after a long time, "I have no opinion, this is the eldest brother's family matter, and it is not my turn, I have an opinion." ”
Heh, this sentence almost made the old lady angry.
"Okay, third child, you're pretending to be confused for me."
The old lady is not a person who can speak well, the gentleness and kindness just now, that is really hard to pretend, this is the true appearance.
"Mother, what can I pretend to be confused?"
"Okay, if you don't pretend to be confused for me, then I'll ask you a word, and you will answer me honestly. Your eldest brother's radio, now you can't afford to buy it, you fill it in for him, you are an uncle, this is your gift money. Since Qu Liancheng was not angry, the old lady came directly to make an iron plate and wanted to make raw rice into mature rice.
Qu Xiaobai laughed, and everyone in the room looked at her.
She put away her smiling face, "Dad, you are so generous, I haven't heard of it in our village, uncle and uncle can give a gift to his nephew and can put out a radio, who doesn't take it for three or five yuan, at most add a satin quilt." If you agree, it is estimated that the old and young masters of the whole village will have to scold you to death, you give Brother Xiaolong such a gift today, how can you let others be uncles and uncles in the future to give gifts to nephews and nephews, can you do bad things with good intentions.
If you start this way, other people's families will have to smash the pot and sell iron to do this, and then the whole village will have to block our house to scold you, my brother and I don't want to be scolded, and we don't want to see you scolded. ”
Qu Liancheng himself also reacted immediately, and if he did this, he would become the public enemy of the whole village.
