Text Chapter 44 The Hiring Turmoil

Spring has arrived, the roadside is full of small wildflowers, the blue sky, and the breeze gently blows the carambola's cheeks.

Yang Xiaotao hugged Le'er, closed her eyes and nose, took a hard breath and said, "Spring is so good!" ”

In ancient times, there was no polluted environment, and even the air inhaled into the nose seemed to have a hint of sweetness.

Le'er also learned from Yang Xiaotao's appearance, wrinkled her little nose, sucked it up desperately, and the swallow girl on the ox cart and the pillar smiled at each other.

"Brother, are you nervous?" Yan Niu winked mischievously at the pillar.

The pillar blushed slightly, scratched his head again, and said, "Nervous." Then he just smiled stupidly.

"When Yanniu gets married, it is estimated that she will be more nervous than Brother Zhuzi." Yang Xiaotao teased.

Yan Niu's little face turned crimson and said, "Sister Peach, why are you talking about my brother?" ”

Le Er said sweetly, "Aunt Yanniu's face is red. ”

As soon as she finished saying this, Yan Niu couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.

The atmosphere along the way was very pleasant, talking and laughing, probably the ox cart drove for almost an hour, and a small village appeared in front, and there was a stone tablet at the entrance of the village, which said Xiaohe Village.

Yang Xiaotao looked carefully, this Xiaohe Village did not look much different from Xiaoxi Village, and from a distance, there were almost fifty or sixty households.

There were a few people standing at the intersection, two young people, and one was Aunt Xu whom Yang Xiaotao had seen.

When Aunt Xu saw a few people, she immediately smiled and waved her hand to beckon, "This way, this way!" ”

The pillar motioned to the coachman to drive the ox cart over.

When they arrived at a few people, the pillar hurriedly jumped off the ox cart and shouted a little embarrassedly, "Aunt Xu." ”

Aunt Xu said with a happy face, "What is Aunt Xu, we will all be a family in the future." He beckoned to the two young men behind him and said, "Daewoo, Da Zhuang, help move things." ”

Yang Xiaotao got out of the carriage with Le'er in her arms, and Yan Niu followed and came down.

Aunt Xu explained with a smile, "The ox cart can't get in, and the road in our village is narrow. ”

Then he looked at the two young men named Daewoo and Da Zhuang, and after helping to carry all the things off the ox cart, they carried the things on their shoulders.

The pillar was also going to help, and a young man smiled and said, "It's okay, we'll just move, you should be tired after sitting in the ox cart for so long." ”

Zhu Zi was a little embarrassed by the enthusiasm of the family, so he could only tell the coachman to let him go back first and pay again.

After that, they followed into Xiaohe Village and walked in the direction of Aunt Xu's house, and many villagers along the way stood curiously at the door of their homes and watched.

Some people will joke with Aunt Zhao, "This is your uncle, the young man is really strong, and he looks good." ”

Brother Zhu Zi has never encountered such a thing, and his whole face turned red as if he was parading through the streets along the way.

Finally arrived at Aunt Zhao's house, Yang Xiaotao secretly exhaled a sigh and looked at Yan Niu, who stuck out her tongue mischievously.

Le'er is nothing, and she is curious to look east and west along the way.

Aunt Xu's house is four ordinary mud houses, surrounded by a strong fence.

Yang Xiaotao took a look at it, the house was cleaned very clean, and there were some chickens at home.

As soon as I entered the room, there were several people standing inside, and Yang Xiaotao probably looked at it, there should be seven people.

The furniture in the room was also very simple, with a middle-aged man, an old lady and an old man sitting at the table in the middle, two women standing next to them, and two men standing next to the two women.

Seeing them enter the house, the expressions on the faces of these people were different, the three people sitting were happy, and the ones standing on the side were looking like they were watching a good show.

As soon as the two women entered the door from the pillar, they looked up and down carefully, and the expressions on their faces were extremely strange.

"Daddy, his father, someone is here, this is the pillar, and behind it are his two sisters." Aunt Xu introduced with a smile, and pulled the pillar forward.

The middle-aged man stood up and said with a smile, "Sit down, sit down." ”

Aunt Xu enthusiastically pulled the pillar and sat down, Yang Xiaotao sat on the side with Le'er, and Yan Niu stood against Yang Xiaotao.

"This is grandpa Xiaolu." Aunt Xu pointed to the two old men, and then pointed to the middle-aged man, "This is Xiaolu Dad." Then he pointed to the four people who were standing, "This is Xiaolu, the eldest uncle, the second uncle, and the eldest aunt, the second aunt," thought of something, and said, "It was my two sons who moved things just now, Xiaolu's eldest brother and second brother." ”

According to Aunt Xu's introduction, the pillars politely greeted them one by one.

Yang Xiaotao looked around the room and said, "Isn't the path there?" ”

"The kid is frizzy, I'll let her stay in the house honestly!" Xiaolu's father said with a smile.

"Kid, how old are you?" Xiaolu's grandmother warmly took the hand of the pillar and asked kindly.

The pillar said embarrassedly, "Twenty-one." ”

"Yo! It's twenty-one, the girl on our road is only fifteen, I said the third brother and sister, are you looking for a reliable in-laws? It was Xiaolu's aunt who spoke, and her tone was extremely sour.

Because of Aunt Xiaolu's words, everyone's originally happy faces suddenly decreased a few points.

"Old man, if you don't want to stay, go back to your own house." Xiaolu's grandfather directly opened his mouth to reproach.

"Dad, what my sister-in-law said is right, I haven't married a daughter-in-law at the age of twenty-one, so there can't be something wrong!" This time it was Xiaolu's second aunt who spoke.

After saying this, the atmosphere suddenly became even more awkward.

Yan Niu's little temper was about to come up, but she was stopped by Yang Xiaotao, Yang Xiaotao smiled and said, "The situation of my brother Zhuzi, you should also inquire clearly, before you agree to this family business, now arrange these things and have not, are you regretting it?" ”

As soon as she heard this, Aunt Xu hurriedly explained, "I don't regret it, I don't have anything to do, don't listen to their nonsense." After saying that, he glared at the two women angrily.

"Smack!" With a bang, Xiaolu's grandmother slapped the table fiercely and said sharply, "The eldest and the second family, I know what you think, but since the third family disagrees, you'd better stop." ”

"Mother, why did I say it wrong? What's wrong with letting Xiaolu go to be a concubine for Landlord Yuan? "Xiao Lu's eldest aunt is a yin and yang strange aura.

Xiaolu's second aunt also helped, "Isn't it, that Yuan landlord can say that Xiaolu has a bride price of fifty taels as soon as he marries, isn't it better than marrying a farmer?" ”

"This is my family's business, when will it be your turn to talk more?" This time, Xiao Lu's father was also angry when he heard the words of the two, and stood up violently and shouted.

This roar directly frightened the two of them one by one, and they suddenly didn't dare to say more.

"Sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, let me tell you, you will die of this heart, even if you find a poor family for Xiaolu, I can't let her be small." Aunt Xu was also angry, today was supposed to be a happy day, but she was going to be disturbed by these two sisters-in-law.

"Boss and second, don't be like a piece of wood, you two can't take care of your daughter-in-law, just go back to your own house for me." Xiaolu's grandfather blew his beard angrily and glared.

Xiaolu's uncle dragged his daughter-in-law hard, and his daughter-in-law reluctantly shook it, but she still kept her mouth shut honestly.

As for his second uncle, he glared at his daughter-in-law fiercely, and his daughter-in-law immediately stopped talking.

Yang Xiaotao sighed for a while, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read!

"Pillar, don't go to your heart, it's better to be bigger, it will hurt people!" Xiaolu's grandmother softened her expression and comforted the embarrassed pillar on the side.

"This is my own marriage, don't worry about the eldest aunt and second aunt!" It was Xu Xiaolu who heard the movement in the back room, her father asked her to stay in the house, but the more she listened, the more she couldn't listen anymore, so she ran out directly.

The pillar looked at Xu Xiaolu who suddenly appeared in a daze.

Xu Xiaolu looked at his two aunts and said, "Brother Zhuzi is older, what's wrong with me marrying, what's in the way of you?" I don't need you to marry, the landlord Yuan is as old as my father, and you still say that Brother Zhuzi is old. ”

As soon as this sentence came out, a smile finally appeared on Yang Xiaotao's face, this Xu Xiaolu is not like an ancient woman, a full female man!

Yan Niu listened to Xu Xiaolu's words, and her little face, which was still angry, was full of admiration for Xu Xiaolu at this time.

"A girl's family, there are no rules at all." Aunt Xu scolded with a smile.

The pillar's embarrassed face also showed a suspicious red cloud.

was made such a fuss by Xu Xiaolu, the originally embarrassing atmosphere was also restored, Aunt Xu beckoned Zhuzi to talk to Xiaolu's grandparents and his father, and went to the kitchen to work for lunch, Xu Xiaolu was also dragged away, and the two aunts were also driven to the kitchen to help by Grandma Xiaolu.

"After my sister marries you, can you know my sister well? Otherwise, my fist is not welcome. It was Xiao Lu's brother Xu Dayu who spoke, and he also waved his fist as if threatening.

"I'll be nice to her." The pillar replied with an embarrassed smile.

"You kid, how can you talk to a pillar like that?" Xiaolu's grandmother glared at her grandson with a smile, then looked at Le'er in Yang Xiaotao's arms and said, "This child is really good-looking." ”

Yang Xiaotao smiled and said, "This is my daughter's name Le'er, Le'er is called grandma." ”

After Le'er came, she had been nesting in Yang Xiaotao's arms obediently, and when she heard her mother ask her to call someone, she immediately said obediently, "Grandma is good!" ”

Grandma Xiaolu was immediately cute by the little bun, and hurriedly said happily: "Okay!" Good! Le'er is so good! ”

was just talking about it, and soon Aunt Xu said that the meal was ready and ready to eat.

After the food was served, Aunt Xu thought of the meal she had at Zhuzi's house last time, and said embarrassedly, "My family's conditions are limited, don't dislike it." ”

Looking at the five dishes and one soup on the table, the old hen among them was afraid that she had killed the guest pillar.

The pillar hurriedly said, "It's good, it's good." ”

Two chicken legs, one of Xiaolu's grandmothers was clamped to the pillar, and the other was clamped to Le'er.

Le'er said sweetly, "Thank you, grandma!" ”

Zhuzi looked at the chicken leg in the bowl, a little embarrassed to eat it, and gave it to Xu Xiaolu again.

Xu Xiaolu blushed suddenly, and Grandma Xiaolu smiled and said, "It's a person who hurts, our girl, I found a good family." ”

Before leaving, Zhuzi handed the red cloth bag given to him by his mother to Aunt Xu.

Aunt Xu didn't refuse, this is the dowry money, naturally it can't be refunded.

Xiaolu's second aunt glanced at the shriveled red cloth bag, and said, "Yo, looking light, how much money can you have?" ”

Aunt Xu immediately glanced at her dissatisfied.

Yang Xiaotao smiled and said, "Or, Aunt Xu, open it and let them take a look." ”

Aunt Xu said embarrassedly, "No need." "The red bag is fluttering lightly in her hand, if she really prepares too little, won't she open it so that the pillar can't come down?

Yang Xiaotao patted her hand lightly and said, "It's okay, she's so curious, it's okay to let her take a look." ”

Aunt Xu was embarrassed and could only slowly open the red envelope, and there was a silver ticket inside, which Aunt Zhao specially went to change, after all, one hundred and eighty taels of silver, it was not convenient to let the pillar carry.

Aunt Xu looked at the silver ticket in her hand in shock, one hundred and eighty taels!

Everyone present was stunned, especially Xiaolu's two aunts, who came up to look at the one hundred and eighty taels of silver tickets, and the mouth was open enough to stuff an egg.

Yang Xiaotao looked at this scene, the corners of her mouth curled slightly, and she walked out with Le'er in her arms.
