Text Chapter 28 years ago
"That's a good thing! Does Brother Zhu know? Yang Xiaotao put down the things in her hand and said with a smile.
According to her meaning, Brother Zhuzi's marriage should be prepared, after all, according to the customs here, the godmother should have hugged her grandson a long time ago.
"I told Zhuzi about this, and he said he was not in a hurry, but I wanted to ask a matchmaker to prepare for this after the New Year." When Aunt Zhao mentioned Brother Zhuzi's marriage, the joy on her face was self-evident.
"That's okay, after the New Year, I'll help take a look, and I'll definitely find a good one for Brother Zhuzi." Yang Xiaotao smiled, this is indeed a happy event, Brother Zhuzi is honest and honest, and he can't speak, so he has to find a girl who can make ideas and live a good life.
Yang Xiaotao was pondering, looking up at Aunt Zhao, Aunt Zhao was in a daze, and she didn't know what she was thinking, so she asked, "Godmother, do you have a favorite girl?" ”
Aunt Zhao was still thinking about things, but was suddenly interrupted by Yang Xiaotao's words, and then said, "A few days ago, someone from my mother's family also came, you know!" ”
"yes, I know!" Yang Xiaotao nodded and said, she knew that her godmother's family came to relatives a few days ago, but at that time she was busy going to the town, and there were many things waiting for her in the restaurant, so she didn't care, said hello, and left in a hurry.
"Hey!" Aunt Zhao sighed, and then said, "I am very happy that my father and brother, who have not been in contact for more than ten years, suddenly came to the door and came to see me." ”
Yang Xiaotao looked at the godmother's expression, and asked if something must have happened, "Is something wrong?" ”
Aunt Zhao shook her head and said, "Actually, nothing happened, it's just that my brother said that his girl Zhao Huahua." ”
"Godmother's niece? What's wrong with her? Yang Xiaotao felt that Aunt Zhao was talking in a hurry, and hurriedly asked.
"Well, what my father and mother mean is to let Huahua be the daughter-in-law of the pillar." Aunt Zhao said helplessly, not that she didn't want to kiss and kiss, but she had heard about many things in between.
Yang Xiaotao was silent, it was common for close relatives to marry in the ancients, isn't there a saying that kisses are added to kisses, but according to her thoughts, it is better not to, after all, science has proved that after close relatives get married, the children born are easy to have problems.
"Isn't the godmother willing?" Yang Xiaotao disagrees with such a family affair in her heart, but if her godmother agrees, she has no right to stop it.
"It's not that I don't want to do this family business!" Aunt Zhao is a good woman with twenty-four filial piety, and she is also extremely filial to her father, although her family has been difficult all these years, her father and mother have never come to see her, and she has never taken it to heart.
"What the hell is going on? Godmother, you want to kill me in a hurry. "Yang Xiaotao is a little incomprehensible, this godmother is too twisted today.
Aunt Zhao saw that Yang Xiaotao was about to sweat, and then said, "Huahua has already married someone else, and she was taken home by leave, and her father said that she wanted a dowry of two hundred taels."
Yang Xiaotao smacked her tongue, now she understands, why did the godmother call her, it turns out that Zhao Huahua has been married, that is, it is a second marriage, if according to the previous conditions of Aunt Zhao's family, there is a woman willing to marry, even if it is good, but now the conditions of Aunt Zhao's family are not comparable to before.
Yang Xiaotao felt that this godmother's father and mother were really a lion's mouth, even if she married a yellow flower girl, in such a rural area, it would only be twenty taels of silver at most, which was extremely decent, and it would cost two hundred taels to marry a second marriage, which was ten times more.
Besides, this Zhao Huahua was divorced home, why was she divorced by her husband's family, she must have made a big mistake, just for this reason, Brother Zhu Zi must not marry such a woman as a daughter-in-law.
But the godmother is an extremely filial woman, so it is more difficult to deal with this matter.
"Little Peach, what do you say about this?" Aunt Zhao saw that Yang Xiaotao was stunned for a long time, and hurriedly asked, she was still waiting for Xiaotao to pay attention to her.
"Godmother's family affair must not be wanted." Yang Xiaotao took Aunt Zhao's hands and said solemnly.
"I know that, too." Aunt Zhao naturally understood what Yang Xiaotao meant, otherwise she would not be so anxious about Zhang Luozhuzi's marriage.
Yang Xiaotao looked at Aunt Zhao with a sad face, and she also understood that what she was worried about was just a filial piety.
"Godmother, if you think it's worth using Brother Zhuzi's happiness for a lifetime as the price of your filial piety?" Yang Xiaotao looked at Aunt Zhao's eyes and said seriously.
"Hey!" Aunt Zhao sighed heavily, how could she not understand what Yang Xiaotao meant, Zhuzi is her son, how can she be willing to let Zhuzi marry a divorced woman.
"Godmother, to put it mildly, when your orphan and widow were in the most difficult time, where was your father and brother?" Although Yang Xiaotao didn't want to say this to hurt Aunt Zhao, she hoped that Aunt Zhao could see some facts clearly, so she shook her head helplessly and said, "Now that the days are good, they came to see you, but for other purposes, let's not talk about Zhao Huahua, just open your mouth for two hundred taels!" ”
Aunt Zhao was silent, even if Yang Xiaotao didn't say a lot of things, she didn't understand that her mother's family had heard that her family was having a good life, so she came to the door under the guise of family affairs, and it was true to ask for silver.
"Godmother, Brother Zhuzi's marriage, the last thing to pay attention to is you, if you really feel sorry for Brother Zhuzi, you should know what is right and what is wrong." Yang Xiaotao said that, although Aunt Zhao is her godmother, she has no right to interfere too much in other people's housework, and it is impossible for her to make the final decision.
Aunt Zhao nodded, but was still silent......
On the second day, after Yang Xiaotao Restaurant was busy, he called Hu Wang's Xu Yan and Xu Dabao, and gave the four of them red envelopes, ready to give everyone a holiday, and the New Year will be in a few days, and each family still has a lot to do.
"I wish the owner a happy New Year in advance!" Xu Dabao touched the red envelope in his hand and said sweetly.
"Just you slippery, then I also wish the owner a good New Year in advance." Xu Yan looked at his grandson amusedly.
"Xiao Tao, this restaurant is doing so well every day, shouldn't it be time to add some people in the coming year!" Wang beat his arm a little sore, Xiao Tao, this small restaurant don't look small, but the business is good, and the wages are naturally very satisfied, but sometimes she is too busy, she can't be busy in the kitchen, and she has to help pass the food, and she is more tired than when she is busy at home and farming.
"I know everyone has been tired lately, and when the New Year is over, I'm going to recruit two cooks and two guys who run the hall." Yang Xiaotao naturally knew that they were working very hard for a while, and she was sore when she went back every day.
Yang Xiaotao is ready to celebrate the New Year, so she will recruit two cooks to come in, and then guide herself for a while, and when she is satisfied, she can let go of the affairs of the restaurant, and recently because of the affairs of the restaurant, she rarely accompanies Le'er.
Le'er sometimes follows her to the restaurant, and sometimes she will give it to Aunt Zhao to help watch, but Aunt Zhao is old and children love to make trouble, which is definitely not a long-term solution.
Greet everyone to clean up the restaurant, you can go back, and come to work after the tenth day of the new year.
Yang Xiaotao went directly to the market, she was going to add some New Year's goods to her family, in fact, Aunt Zhao had prepared one for her, but Yang Xiaotao was going to get some other New Year's goods, such as sausages, such as fried meatballs, and dumplings, etc., these things are not available in this place.
When she asked Aunt Zhao, Aunt Zhao had never heard of it, and when she asked her curiously what it was, Yang Xiaotao gave her a good explanation, such as the method of sausages, such as how to wrap dumplings and the like, Aunt Zhao was dumbfounded, she had never seen these ways of eating.
They generally buy some meat here for the New Year, and then make meat buns, and those with better conditions at home will use white flour to steam some, and if the conditions are not good, they can only use cornmeal, but it is also delicious.
In addition to the meat filling, there will also be some other fillings, such as the wild vegetables that the villagers often eat, and the stuffing made from wild vegetables is also possible, and some families will buy some sugar to make sugar buns for children.
Yang Xiaotao went to the butcher shop and said that she wanted to buy a whole pig, and the butcher who sold the meat was dumbfounded, he had never seen such a pork purchase.
I almost thought that Yang Xiaotao was here to smash the field, but fortunately, Yang Xiaotao explained that she wanted a whole pig's meat, which had to be processed, and the internal organs and everything had to be washed, and she wanted it, including the pig's bones.
The butcher listened stupidly directly, pork and pig bones or something was okay, but the little lady in front of him even wanted the internal organs of the pig, so he was very puzzled.
Yang Xiaotao directly put a tael of silver in his stall and told him that this was a fixed money, and she would come to pick up the goods tomorrow afternoon, and the rest of the silver would be counted together at that time.
The butcher immediately smiled, took the money, and hurriedly sent Yang Xiaotao away with a smile.
Yang Xiaotao thought about it, a whole pig, pork can be used separately to make sausages, meatballs, dumpling filling.
As for the pork offal, hehe, fried large intestine, fried pork liver, pig blood soup, fried kidney......
Thinking of this, Yang Xiaotao felt that her saliva was about to flow out.
I went to the rice shop of the shopkeeper Xia again, and bought a small sack of white noodles, the shopkeeper Xia also smiled, and after chatting with Yang Xiaotao about family life, Dahe carried the flour and sent the Yang Xiaotao to the town.
Yang Xiaotao got out of the ox cart, and when the ox cart went away, she looked around and saw that there was no one, so she put the white noodles into the space, and let her carry it back like this, she was tired to death.
She went directly to Aunt Zhao's house, ready to pick up Le'er and go home with her.
As soon as I entered the courtyard of Aunt Zhao's house, I heard a middle-aged man's voice from the house, "Sister! Our parents are old, and it's the New Year, so you give so many taels of silver? What about sending Hanako? ”
Yang Xiaotao stopped at the door of the house, and when she didn't know whether to go in, Aunt Zhao's voice came out again, "Brother, our family's life is better, but this money is not blowing in the wind?" ”
The middle-aged man's voice was obviously louder, "Your family is getting better, but you can't look down on your father and mother?" You can't look down on my poor brother anymore, do you? ”
Aunt Zhao's voice followed closely, "Brother, how can you say that?" Twenty taels of silver is already a lot, and other silver has to be kept for the pillar to say the daughter-in-law, and Yan Niu will also have money to say to the mother-in-law when she is older! ”
"You're the only one in your eyes, aren't you? Daddy doesn't care anymore? Tell my son to be your son's daughter-in-law, what's the matter? Can't see it yet, right? Why did Daddy give birth to you a white-eyed wolf! The man's tone grew even worse.
"Why is my mother a white-eyed wolf, can a white-eyed wolf give you twenty taels of silver?" Yan Niu's voice also came out.
"Look! This is the good girl who was taught, and she dared to talk back to her uncle! When the man's voice came out again, Yang Xiaotao couldn't listen to it anymore, and stepped directly into the house.
