Chapter 37: Meet the Parents
Wang Xiao got out of the car, and saw his mother carrying a pig food bucket to the backyard to feed the pigs, so he shouted, Mom, we are back.
Wang's mother turned around and saw her little son with a smile on her face, and then saw Li Siyi, who got out of the car with a few bags of gifts, and laughed.
Wang's mother was very relieved to see Wang Xiao bring the girl back.
At this age, she doesn't have much hope left. But she is also very satisfied, the family is harmonious and happy, and she has lived a comfortable life in these nine villages and one river. The relationship between husband and wife is very good, the eldest daughter-in-law has a good temper, the sons are filial, and the grandchildren also have grandchildren. Although the two sons are not promising, the eldest is hardworking and willing to work, and the younger one loves to toss, but can toss back the money, and she has not gone down, so she has no more luxury.
The only thing to worry about is the marriage of the youngest son. The youngest son is thirty years old. At this age, if he is honest at home, the children are already running around the house, and the children will play soy sauce.
But he is still floating alone, and he went abroad a few years ago, although he has been a little more stable in the past two years, he is also a little closer to home. But his girlfriend has never heard him mention it, let alone his daughter-in-law.
Now that the little son is quietly bringing a woman back, she is still very surprised.
She put down the pig food bucket, took a few steps forward, and stood opposite Li Siyi.
Wang Xiao introduced Li Siyi: "Mom, this is Siyi, Li Siyi." ”
turned his head and told Li Siyi: "This is our mother!" ”
Rao is Li Siyi is smart, and he is also embarrassed at this time, and he can't help but be annoyed why he ignored the issue of title before.
Originally, at this time, normal girls should call their aunts or aunts sweetly.
But her real age is almost the same as that of Wang's mother, and it really takes a lot of courage for this aunt to call out. If you call it now, it will be even more embarrassing if you talk about age in the future.
But it's not okay to call my sister, I came to the door as someone's son and girlfriend, what's the matter with calling someone's sister.
Wang Xiao saw Li Siyi's hesitation, and also reviewed his own negligence, and hurriedly took a macho posture: "Call Mom, this is our Mom, just call Mom in the future." ”
Li Siyi really couldn't scream, the first time he came to the door, he didn't say anything, he opened his mouth and called Mom, it's too much.
Seeing that Li Siyi couldn't scream, in order to help her break the siege, Wang Xiao hugged her over, faced Wang's mother, and then continued: "Call Mom, call Mom in the future!" ”
Li Siyi was forced by Wang Xiao's 'coercion', so he had to call his mother inaudibly.
Although Wang's mother didn't know which one her little son was singing, she still responded with a smile.
Wang Xiao smiled: "Mom, this is your daughter-in-law." ”
Then he took the lead and walked into the second gate.
When I entered, I saw my grandmother sitting under a tree enjoying the coolness.
Wang Xiao walked up to his grandmother, took her hand and said, "Grandma, are you okay?" I'm back, and I've brought your granddaughter-in-law back. ”
Grandma couldn't close her mouth with a smile: "Okay, okay." What a handsome girl! ”
The first sentence said that he was in good health, the second sentence said that it was good to bring his granddaughter-in-law back, and the third sentence sighed at Li Siyi's handsomeness.
Wang Xiao also laughed when he heard it.
At this time, Wang Xiao's sister-in-law Zhao Xiao'e heard the sound and also came out of the kitchen: "Yo, the second child is back!" ”
Wang Xiao nodded in response to his sister-in-law, and asked Li Siyi to come over and call grandma.
Mother Wang wiped her hand casually on the waist in front of her, and then took the gift that Li Siyi was carrying: "Go and chat with grandma, she has been looking forward to you for a long time, and often talks about the marriage of this second child." ”
This gift was bought casually in Xidu, and Wang Xiao directly pulled him on the plane, so he didn't have time to prepare any gifts. Before coming, under Li Siyi's repeated requests, Wang Xiao accompanied Li Siyi to buy a little casually.
Wang Xiao said that he didn't need to bring any gifts, but Li Siyi felt that it was not good to come to the door empty-handed for the first time. I went to buy some casually, bought some wild ginseng, cordyceps sinensis and other medicinal materials, and bought three jade bracelets, Wang Xiao said that his mother and sister-in-law both worked, and they couldn't wear jade bracelets. But Li Siyi feels that it doesn't matter whether you wear it or not, the important thing is to have this heart. I bought a toy for Wang Xiao's little nephew and two bottles of good wine for Wang's father.
With Wang's mother in front, Li Siyi doesn't have much pressure to call grandma. Grandma Wang Xiao is very satisfied with Li Siyi, handsome and well-behaved.
In the end, Wang Xiao asked Li Siyi to call his sister-in-law, Wang Xiao said 'forced', and Li Siyi also called it.
The sister-in-law took Li Siyi to the hall, poured water, and brought out some walnuts and sunflowers, all from her own farming.
Zhang Luo was okay and went to cook again.
Wang Xiao's nephew Xiaobao also ran out, Wang Xiao took the big plane bought by Li Siyi to him to play, and when he saw the big plane, Xiaobao liked it very much. Wang Xiao instigated him to thank the 'second aunt', but the little guy just leaned on the sofa and hugged the big plane and laughed, embarrassed to call the second aunt. Xiaobao is eight years old this year, is in the second grade, has a summer vacation, and goes to the mountains and wilderness with his friends every day, and this morning his mother asked him to do his homework at home, so he didn't go out to run.
This is the first time Li Siyi has come to the countryside of China, but what she has seen is much better than she realized. The village is full of cement roads, clean and tidy, and there are many rough but very life-like wall paintings on the walls of the houses or whitewashed walls on the roadside, which can show the national customs. The painter does not have much skills, but he is rich in ethnic customs.
The small mountain village looks like fifty or sixty households, and the big river flows through the village, and you have to cross a bridge to enter the village.
Wang Xiao's house is at the easternmost end of this quiet mountain village, at the highest point of a small hill, and the three-story building is very eye-catching. When she was still on the highway, Wang Xiao pointed it out to her.
Wang Xiao's house occupies a large area, with two courtyards, a large courtyard outside, and a large field in the middle, which Wang Xiao said was used to dry crops.
There are more than a dozen fruit trees planted on the right, and there are a few parking spaces left in the middle of the fruit trees, which are well planned, while on the left, there is a passage to the backyard, where chickens and pigs are kept in the backyard.
Sitting in the hall, Li Siyi listened to Wang Xiao continue to introduce the structure of their house.
The place where they sat was called the hall, and directly opposite was the inner gate, which divided the courtyard into an inner courtyard and an outer courtyard. The parking lot outside the door and the big field, together with the backyard, are the outer courtyard, and the inner courtyard is the inner courtyard. The big banyan tree in the courtyard is said to have been planted by Wang Xiao's grandfather when he was a child, and the old house was originally built by Wang Xiao's great-grandfather, and later Wang Xiao paid for it to build a three-story brick and concrete building.
However, the layout is still the same old-fashioned layout, except that the main building has an extra floor.
The whole building is inverted L-shaped, and it is a structure of three rooms and one ear, that is, three large houses and one ear room. The front half of the middle room is a hall house, which is completely open to the wall facing the courtyard and is used for reception and rest. The second half of the room has a coffee table and a TV, and it is a modern living room where you can watch TV. The one on the left is where Grandma Wang Xiao lives, and the one on the right is used as a dining room, which can be used as four tables, which can be used to play mahjong or something during the New Year's Festival. The second floor is where Wang's father and Wang's mother live, and one room is used to pile grain, while the other room is also idle as a guest room. The third floor is the bedroom of Wang Xiao's brothers, the brothers are on one side, and the middle is also a guest room.
The transept is two-storey, the upper floor is used to pile grain, and the downstairs by the large house is one of the kitchens and the other is the utility room.
Wang Xiao explained to Li Siyi the history of the house structure or something, and Wang's mother went to the backyard to feed the pigs again. Wang Xiao originally wanted to help, but Wang's mother just asked him to accompany 'Xiao Li' and didn't let him go.
Wang Ma poured the pig food to the pig to eat, stood by and watched, and remembered what was on her mind in a daze.
Wang Xiao can bring the girl back, she likes it.
But this girl, she is a little dissatisfied.
If nothing else, it's just too beautiful, like a movie star. Such a beautiful woman, it is difficult for her to live in peace!
Look at her water snake waist, look at her plump strength with convex and backward curls, although a woman of this body is easy to give birth to, but it is more likely to be bad.
If you really get it back, maybe the men in these nine villages and one river are staring at something like something, and if this second child still goes outside to work and make money like before, it will be a big trouble.
Beautiful women are goblins, and men can't control them, and they are prone to trouble.
Wang's mother is also worried that the color word steel knife will scrape her younger son's bones, lose his body and damage his inner body, and he doesn't care when he is young, but he can bear it when he is old.
is still as good as the eldest daughter-in-law Zhao Xiao'e, who is clean and sensible. The face is no worse than other people's, and it will not lose the face of the old Wang family, but it will not make people worry. That figure is also decent, easy to raise, but casually with a wide coat of clothes, it will be stable.
Although I thought about these things in my heart, some of them were not. But after feeding the pigs back, they were still very enthusiastic, no matter whether they were full of dissatisfaction, the first time the girl's family came to the door, she still had to give face.
And Wang Xiao has already called people to call his mother, which shows that this matter is basically done. Her dissatisfaction is not against it, but she is just careful that this little son will have a hard time in the future.
Not long after, Wang's father and eldest brother Wang Cheng also came back from the field.
Seeing his son come back with a girl, Wang's father was also very happy. Wang Xiao asked Li Siyi to call his father again, Wang Xiao said it twice, and Li Siyi also shouted.
Dad Wang happily agreed. I heard that I called Wang's mother my mother, so I turned around and went upstairs to get 800 yuan down, and I had to give it to Li Siyi, Li Siyi refused several times, and Wang's father had to give it, saying that it was a change of mouth fee.
Wang Xiao's hometown customs, after the bride got married, there was a ceremony to recognize relatives the next day. That is, the groom and the bride call the elders and important relatives of the family again, called to change the mouth, and the people who are called are all to be courtesy, and give money directly, commonly known as the change of mouth fee. In fact, it is a gift money from relatives, including parents, to the young couple.
Dad Wang was very happy to see his son bring back a beautiful daughter-in-law. As a man, Wang's father doesn't have as many worries as Wang's mother, the daughter-in-law in the family is beautiful, not only the son has face, but the old man also has face when he goes out. The daughter-in-law is beautiful, which means that the son is promising, and others talk about it with a thumbs up.
So since the girls have changed their names to Dad, although the wedding has not yet taken place, he still happily took the money to change his mouth.
Wang Cheng is also happy for his younger brother, the two brothers have a good relationship, and after they got married, they got the strength of their younger brother, otherwise he would not have lived so well, and the first in the village drove a car.
It turned out that Wang Xiao had always said that he didn't have a girlfriend, and as he got older, he was still worried that his younger brother couldn't find a wife.
Sister-in-law Zhao Xiao'e cooked the meal and brought it up, and the family ate in the hall lively.
