Chapter 25: The Yang Family

Liu Wang looked at Yang Dongyun again, his brother turned fifteen this year, and he was already very calm, only sitting upright, asking a question before answering, his eyes only staring at the teacup, never looking at the side. It is worthy of being a scholarly family, look at this rule, this style, Liu Wang is amazed in his heart.

At noon, two tables were set up at home, and Liu Zhi thought that his father and mother had such terrible plans, and wanted to pretend to be sick and not eat, but Li became uncharacteristically tough. She sat with a sad face, only eating the food in front of her, and didn't speak, thinking in her mind how to behave so as not to attract the attention of Yang Xiucai's wife.

Suddenly, I heard my mother praise herself, "Zhi'er looks lively, but she is actually the most quiet character" She coughed violently, and everything in her mouth sprayed on Yang Xiuxiu, Yang Xiuxiu screamed. Wicker didn't know why, thinking that her sister and Sister Yang were playing a game, she laughed silly. Li blushed, glared at his daughter fiercely, and asked her to apologize to Yang Xiuxiu and take her to change her clothes.

The small turmoil at the women's table did not affect the interest of the men in front of them. Yang Xiucai drank two cups of lotus white, revealing a celebrity's romantic attitude, and shouted, "Woo - a gentleman is a gentleman who studies in the Tao, and he wants to be self-satisfied—those who know my heart, what do I want—the sky is long, and I am born to be useful—I must be useful—" Liu Wang was terrified and admired, this scholar was so drunk and profound, no more drunk than the rough man in the village and only spitted foul language.

Yang Xiuxiu is one year older than Willow Branch, but she is thinner than Willow Branch, and the first two are not much. Liu Zhi opened the wardrobe: "Sister Yang, which one do you see through yourself, I haven't worn this yellow one yet, this pink one is also very good-looking, I only wore it once." Yang Xiuxiu was envious and jealous in her heart, so sour that she wanted to wring out the juice, her eyes were red and green, all of them were good Songjiang muslin dresses, and a small half of silk. There was also a sachet hanging in the cupboard, and a cabinet of dresses was fragrant.

"I'll change this one, this one is light, my father said that girls can't be ostentatious, and they can't wear too bright clothes in home cooking." Yang Xiuxiu pulled out a set of lake blue skirts, this one was silk, and the embroidery was the most.

Liu Zhi saw that it was this, and she was a little reluctant in her heart, this one was still newly made this year, and she hadn't worn it to Brother Xiaochun yet. She tried her best to persuade and try to make Yang Xiuxiu change her mind: "I think this dress is actually quite bright and full of bells and whistles; You might as well take a look at the green cloth—" Yang Xiuxiu had already changed it, and Liu Zhi could only comfort herself, and when she came back, she would wear it for Brother Xiaochun to look at.

"Willow Branch, help me comb my hair again"

"Sister Yang, the meal hasn't finished yet."

"My dad said girls look good—"

"I'll help you, I'll help you," Liu Zhi begged Yang Xiuxiu's father not to say anything, "No, I can only comb the simplest flat bun." ”

"Why are you so stupid, girls can't comb their hair, and they will be disgusted if they find their in-laws in the future." Yang Xiuxiu is an excellent female celebrity and can also make up, but her family is really poor, so she doesn't have to toss her, and now she belittles the willow branches, and her heart is a little balanced.

Willow is not used to saying these words to people she doesn't know well, she just doesn't make a sound, her craftsmanship is actually okay, and Wicker's hair is combed by her every day. It's just that Yang Xiuxiu's hair is fine and soft, and the amount of hair is small, so it's not easy to catch, and she is busy sweating a little.

Yang Xiuxiu naturally looked at the box on the dressing table, this is the best joinery, the mirror-like black paint is pressed with a small golden flower, a set of plum blossoms in the shape and size of five, can be stacked to receive the largest one, can also be disassembled and placed like a five-petal plum blossom. When I opened it, I saw hairpins, hairpins, flower earrings and bracelets and other ornaments, these jewelry are actually not valuable, because the little girl's family brought some kind of goods, the material is not expensive, most of them are hollow and small. The advantage is that there are many of them, and the willow branch runs a grocery store by himself, and he can bring fresh flowers every day without repeating them.

"Give me the hairpin flower, the pink one, for this hair." Yang Xiuxiu was dazzled for a while, but after all, she knew that when she came to the door for the first time, she only chose a silk flower.

Willow Branch stuck one in her and asked her, "Do you think it looks good?" Do you want to plug in another one? "Where is the little girl who doesn't like to dress up, Yang Xiuxiu, a thirteen-year-old girl, can no longer pretend to be reserved before, a bright smile blooms on her face, and she is also affectionate to the willow branches. And Liu Zhi made Yang Xiuxiu a doll, inserted red flowers and tried green flowers. The two girls tried one after another with great interest, but they forgot to eat, and in the end, it was Li's mother who came to shout.

When I returned to the hall, I saw that Yang Xiuxiu was a different person, wearing a lake blue dress, embroidered with five-color carp and lotus leaves, and the bright color made her face look a little better; The hair was combed again, and two delicate yarn flowers and a silver comb were pinned, and a twisted silver bracelet was put on the wrist. The fly in the ointment is the pair of old green cloth shoes on the feet.

After the meal, Yang Xiucai's family was satisfied and took the car back, Li gave Yang Lushi and Yang Xiuxiu a ruler and a pair of small silver earrings, Liu Wang wrapped a box of snacks and a set of pen, ink and paper, and said that it was given to his brother.

Mama Li, an illiterate rough woman, obviously didn't have enough respect for Xiucai's family, she swept the floor and muttered: "This Miss Yang doesn't treat herself as an outsider too much, so she just dressed up and left." And what she was most dissatisfied with was that Yang Lushi criticized every dish, "Hmph, but in the end, I didn't miss a bite, and the plates were empty." ”

The whole family willow branch is on the same line with Li's mother, and she sings while helping to clean up: "It's okay, let her wear it first, do you think you don't want to pay it back?" Mama Li, be careful when you wash her clothes, don't wash them, her clothes are too old. Actually, I can give her a few, as long as her father doesn't say anything. Mother Li didn't understand, Liu Zhi explained to her "My father said", which made Mother Li laugh.

Liu Wang and Li also exchanged views in the room. On the day of the Feng family's marriage, Yang Xiucai happened to sit at the same table with him, and there were some meanings in his words, which made Liu Wang surprised and delighted. Li and Yang are both big families in Huashi County, although Yang Xiucai's family is poor, but a Xiucai's fame is real, and the Yang family's brother is studying, which is decent, and the willow branches are high climbing. After going back and forth, both of them had some thoughts, so they didn't flatter, so Liu Wang asked Yang Xiucai's family to come to the house for a small banquet today, and they were also a pair of children looking at each other.

Li Shi thinks about some practical things, she is a little worried that Yang Lu is not easy to get along with, this talented lady is a little famous in Huashi County, and the momentum of meeting her today makes her bow down. And his eldest daughter's temperament is tough.

But Liu Wang disagreed, "Whose daughter-in-law is not subject to a little grinding, you don't know that my mother was grinding my sister-in-law back then, cough, why are you talking about this." Hey, Brother Yang is really calm, that conversation, that bearing, worthy of the reputation of a prodigy. You usually go to Luosi Alley to walk around, my brother will have a big future in the future, and I will be wiped out if I can't say it. ”
