Chapter 3: The Past of the Chang Family
When Chang Dazhuang came back at night, Aunt Liu told her about the day's events, and the husband and wife just sighed. "It was originally well-intentioned, but it caused them trouble."
Chang Dazhuang is silent, he is honest and honest by nature, and he is a family member, and he doesn't know what to do.
The utility room is small, and the children are not avoided when talking. The two brothers Chang Shan and Chang Shui glanced at each other, one of them was sixteen years old and the other was twelve years old, they were already sensible, both angry and embarrassed. Seeing the depressed atmosphere, Xiao Changyu, who was only five years old, took out a small cloth bag from his arms, opened it carefully, and said crisply: "Mother is not angry, eat sugar." ”
This was given to her by Sister Shen yesterday, and her brother didn't want it, and she was reluctant to eat it, so she received it now.
Aunt Liu picked one up, stuffed it into her mouth, and touched her head: "My mother doesn't eat it, Xiaoyu keeps it for herself." ”
Seeing Xiaoyu nodded with a smile, he only felt sour.
Chang Dazhuang was not born to Zhang.
Daddy Chang has five children.
The eldest daughter Chang Huaihua and the eldest son Chang Dazhuang were born to the Lin family in the early stage. Lin died a few days after giving birth to Chang Dazhuang.
After two years, Chang's father married his current wife, Zhang.
Zhang was also married. The ex-husband died while serving in forced labor. Left a son and came with her. changed his surname, it is Chang Erzhuang.
Zhang gave birth to a son Chang Sanzhuang and a daughter Chang Tingting.
Chang Tingting was obtained by Zhang's nearly forty years old, and she is seventeen years old this year, and she is very pampered. Clothes come to stretch out their hands, food comes to open their mouths, and the young lady's shelf is placed all day long. Xiaoyu was only five years old, so he had to help lay down his hands and cut pigweed, and he was not allowed to eat without a small basket, and his hands had already grinded out thick calluses.
Chang Sanzhuang is the youngest son, and he has also been spoiled from childhood to adulthood. gave birth to Chang Ziming, the first grandson of the Zhang family. Chang Ziming is 16 years old this year, a few months younger than Chang Shan. But in Zhang's heart, this is her serious eldest grandson.
Chang Ziming has been smart since he was a child, and Zhang gritted his teeth and sent him to study in the county school. He has passed the county examination and the government examination, and is a serious child. Just wait for next year to pass the hospital exam, and you will be a talented man.
Shimizu Village's last talent was more than ten years ago, and Zhang was full of pride every time he thought of this. Chang Ziming's status at home is transcendent, and even Chang Tingting has to step aside.
Chang Ziming also has a thirteen-year-old sister Chang Ning'er. Chang Ning'er's real name is Chang Huahua, and Ning'er was given by Chang Ziming after reading the book. Chang Ning'er's favorite thing is to show off this name in front of the little sisters, she always feels superior and has her own halo. What a show, Juanjuan, the soil is dead. Chang Tingting was jealous of this for a long time.
The two of them followed Chang Sanzhuang to visit Chang Ziming in the county today, and only came back in the evening.
Although Chang Erzhuang was not born to Chang Father, Zhang's pity for her since she was a child without a biological father, and she suffered for a few years with her, and she was also very loved. After marrying the Lu family for ten years, she gave birth to a son, Chang Tianbao, who is eight years old this year and is also very doting.
There are only Chang Huaihua and Chang Da Zhuang, not embarrassed or embarrassed. Since Zhang entered the door, it has not been a few good days. Usually the tiring work is done by the two sisters and brothers. Chang Huaihua is two years older than Chang Da, sensible early, and will look at people's faces at a young age. usually bows down in front of the Zhang family and flatters, just to ask for two more mouthfuls of food for his younger brother. Chang Dazhuang was raised by her single-handedly, if it weren't for this sister, it is estimated that she would have starved to death.
Because of his younger brother, he delayed his marriage, and when he was twenty years old, he got married in a hurry. It is the elder brother of the Liu family who is married, and he is also a disciple of the four walls, and his life is a little more difficult than that of the Chang family. In fact, Chang Huaihua was young and good at being a man, and he also begged for a little thin noodles in front of the Zhang family, so he could have married better.
It's just that when he married Chang Dazhuang back then, Zhang's fancy was not Liu's, but a family surnamed Li in the next village. The Li family has a relative who works as an errand in the county government, and his life is better than that of ordinary people.
An only girl is ugly, arrogant and mean. I haven't gotten married in my twenties. Somehow, I fell in love with Chang Dazhuang. Not only did he not want a dowry, but he also posted twenty taels of silver upside down. Zhang agreed without saying a word.
Daddy Chang has never been careful. At the same time, it is not easy for a poor family to marry, not to mention that he died a wife like this, and he can marry the Zhang family who looks thoughtful, which can be regarded as burning high incense. Therefore, he is also obedient to his words on weekdays. turned a blind eye to what Zhang did.
Chang Huaihua knew that if she really married such a daughter-in-law, her younger brother would be ruined for the rest of his life. Secretly went to beg Li Zheng, and went to the Liu family to marry someone back before the Zhang family.
She knew that Liu was a capable and thoughtful person. The family is a hunter, and he is very poor. There is an older brother above, and there are two younger brothers below.
She had no money to be hired, so she had to change relatives. On the day that the Liu family married into the Chang family, Chang Huaihua also took a borrowed donkey cart to the Liu family.
The twenty taels of silver that Zhang received were gone, and he completely hated the daughter left by his husband's deceased wife, and he was also tired of the new Liu family. For so many years, Chang Huaihua has never come back once, and the Liu family rarely returns to her parents' home.
His two sons are lazy and lazy, and almost half of their work is pressed on Chang Dazhuang's body. The younger generation is even more so. Liu's three children also don't like her, and they always beat and scold. With new clothes, delicious and fun, they are all close to the second and third hometowns. Chang Shan is the boss, and he also picks up Chang Ziming's clothes to wear. Not to mention the constant water and frequent rain, I have never seen a new one.
Seeing that Xiao Changyu was satisfied with a piece of candy, Liu only felt that his heart was about to break. It doesn't matter how hard she suffers, but she doesn't want her children to suffer.
"Xiaoshan is also sixteen years old, and he is old enough to start a family. It's time to get some attention. After a pause, he said in a low voice: "Aunt Lan gave me two hundred taels of silver in private, I didn't ask for it, I only took twenty taels of silver, and it was not easy for them." I've hid it all. I thought it would be better to take advantage of the money in my hand and do it earlier. ”
"You just have to look at it." Chang Dazhuang knew that she was afraid of being discovered by the Zhang family: "I have no ability, I have wronged you all these years." ”
Aunt Liu blushed and said angrily: "What nonsense, the children are here." Seeing that the two brothers Chang Shan and Chang Shui were listening with their ears open, they said angrily: "What are you listening to, don't hurry up and go to sleep." ”
Aunt Liu was also very smart when she was young, although decades of hard work made her face have many wrinkles, but in Chang Dazhuang's eyes, it was the most moving place. At this time, he just looked at her stupidly and didn't speak.
Chang Shui looked at his brother with a smile: "Mother, you must find a gentle sister-in-law." can't be like the second aunt, the whole village can hear it with a loud voice. can't be like the third aunt, who laughs hairily. ”
Aunt Liu was amused by his words: "Okay." Be sure to find a good one. ”
Chang Shan said sullenly: "I'm still young, and I don't want to get married yet." ”
"Wanghu is one year older than you, and there are two children."
"It's because of the twins." Changshan was not convinced.
"That's still two." Aunt Liu didn't care: "You have to pay attention, it's early, go to bed quickly." ”
