Chapter 2 Such matchmakers
The matchmaker raised her triangular eyes and pointed at Mi Tao: "Look at this mouth, it's as sharp as a blade." Star fruit, it's not like I said, just because you have such a sister, it's difficult for you to find your mother-in-law's house. It's really strange to say, they were all born in a mother's womb, my sister is so gentle, why is my sister so wild?"
Sitting on the edge of the kang at the other end, the star fruit glared at Mi Tao lightly: "Second child, don't be rude." ”
"Hmph" When the matchmaker saw that the star fruit was counting her sister, she immediately lifted her nose and vented with disdain: "Star fruit, you said that you will rush to your family's conditions, and how difficult it is to say that it is a doorman, isn't it?" If my matchmaker doesn't give you this thread, you don't know what year and month you will be able to get married. This time, I look at your face, just treat her as a child and don't care about her. ”
The face of the star fruit raised slightly drooped deeply: "This matter is still annoying Aunt Shen." ”
What do you mean? Eldest sister, this is trying to agree to this family business? Cherry was anxious when she heard this, and was just about to open her mouth to say something, but Mi Tao, who had lost her temper, had already jumped up first:
"Who do you say is out of proportion, what's wrong with my family's conditions? Isn't it just a little poor, my eldest sister is married and not married, pick our conditions to do hemp? Could it be that the one you are looking for still wants to eat some wife's food, what's the matter?? I also told you that my eldest sister has not yet passed her fifteenth birthday, and she is not in a hurry to get married! You, stay where you are busy, my poor place can't accommodate you as a guest! ”
"Look, look!" Mrs. Shen made Mi Tao's miserable white face red, slapped the table, and shouted at the star fruit with her eyes: "Isn't my Mrs. Shen a fragrant woman wherever she goes?" When did I receive this treatment from your family? Look, which of these wild children can stand it? This dear, I don't have to tell you about it. You, you're just waiting to become an old girl! Tell your third aunt not to come to me again! As he spoke, he jumped off the kang.
"Aunt Shen......" Carambola raised her head
"Hmph" Mrs. Shen heard star fruit calling her, thinking that she wanted to keep her, she raised her chin proudly and pointed her nostrils at Mi Tao: "What's the matter?" Say it."
"Big sister!!" Mi Tao was angry for the insistence of star fruit, and stood under the hall and stomped her feet fiercely.
"Sister, listen to me. Although you are in charge of everything in our family, it is still up to the sisters to discuss such a big matter. Taking a step back, you should also listen to the third sister's meaning, right? Cherry didn't understand why the eldest sister wanted to deal with this obviously fire pit, so she had to take the third sister to stabilize the star fruit first. The third sister has always had the right idea, and the eldest sister has always listened to her.
"Star fruit~" Shen Media's arrogant voice came: "If you have something to say, I'm a busy person." ”
Carambola looked at the cherry, then at the rice peach, sighed lightly, and looked at Mrs. Shen under the gaze of both of them: "Aunt Shen...... My sisters are good dolls, not wild children. You'd better go. ”
Although star fruit's words are light, there is toughness in the weak momentum.
I thought that star fruit would beg her again, but I didn't expect to get such a sentence. Shen Matchmaker stomped her foot angrily, and pointed at the tip of the star fruit's nose with a red silk cloth: "Okay!" You can do it!! As he spoke, he walked with heavy steps as if out of breath, and turned around and walked out of the small courtyard of the Yue family.
"Hmph, virtue!!" Mi Tao angrily spat on the ground.
"Okay, second sister, everyone is gone." Cherry stepped forward, smiled at Mi Tao, and handed over the small bamboo basket: "I picked the mushrooms on the mountain, can you clean them up and make a soup to drink at night?" ”
Mi Tao lowered her head and swept the bamboo basket and threw out a roll of her eyes: "You, this is taking advantage of other people's Runsheng again, right?" Her own sister knew for herself that the clumsy hand would not be able to pick so much even for half an afternoon.
"Good second sister, go quickly, I'm hungry!!" Although the second sister has a bad temper, her cooking skills are one and the same, and the food cooked by the eldest sister is not as delicious as that cooked by the second sister. Quickly sent her away, and asked the eldest sister carefully what was going on with this Shen matchmaker.
"Gluttonous cat" Mi Tao glared at her and quietly made a look
Cherry knew that she wanted to ask herself to inquire about the eldest sister's thoughts, and pushed her out with a smile: "You can go quickly!" ”
"You two are really getting more and more promising. Knowing that I can't see it? Star fruit chuckled and cleaned up the two bowls on the table. All the valuable things in the house were sold, and the guests who came to drink water used were large clay bowls for eating.
"Don't you say it when you see it?" Cherry took two steps forward, leaned in front of the star fruit, and said seriously: "Sister, you just wanted to deal with this family affair?" "Although the eldest sister has a soft temperament, she is not an assertive person, how could she want to marry someone like Li Hu in Dazhao Village? Unless...... "Is there no food at home?" ”
"Sakura, you don't care about this." Carambola smiled casually: "There's the eldest sister here, it's okay." Don't think about it, go and help your second sister cook, and your third sister and fifth sister should come back after a while to collect firewood. ”
That's what she said, and that's it.
Cherry knew that the eldest sister was afraid to say it and make her feel uncomfortable. Because all the family's money was spent on her.
The tip of the nose is a little sour
The three sisters and one sister in the family have done everything for her burns. She also took good care of her during her recuperation. Even Walnut, who was only five years old, secretly kept a few of her sisters alone for herself and her food every time, and then took them to herself to eat when people were not paying attention. She also coaxed herself that she didn't like to eat, thinking she didn't know.
Even if she is a time-traveler, even if she and they are not sisters in the true sense of the word, but what does it matter? is really precious, and she also sincerely regards them as sisters.
"We're back~~" The sound of cotton peaches and walnuts sounded in the courtyard.
Cherry hurriedly turned around and went out of the house to greet her, taking the opportunity to dry her somewhat moist eyes: "Third sister, are you back?" Just ...... "She wanted to talk about the matchmaker just now, and asked the third sister to help analyze and analyze, her father and mother had just left for a few months, and the third aunt entrusted the matchmaker, what did she mean by this."
"Matchmaker Shen just came, didn't she?" Mian Tao unhurriedly took off the stack of firewood on her body: "I just met her, so I guessed that she came out of our house, and I probed the wind by the way." ”
"How?" secretly praised in her heart, she, the third sister, is really shrewd and capable, only twelve years old, but she has always been calm in her work, sometimes more thoughtful than she, a time-traveler in her twenties.
"I'm afraid I'll affect your appetite now. I'll talk about it after I've finished eating. As he spoke, the stacks of wood were piled up in the corners, and the man was already walking towards the house with his feet raised.
The days of autumn have become shorter day by day. After a while, it was completely dark.
Each family took the lamp, and the five sisters of the Yue family also sat down around the only broken low table in the hall.
Dinner was a large pot of fresh mushroom soup, and two other nests were pitifully placed in a black clay bowl.
The three sisters ate one of the nests, and the other was broken in half, half for cherries and half for walnuts.
"I can't eat that much. The fourth sister still has a wound on her face, so give it to the fourth sister. The walnut broke half of his own nest and stuffed it into the cherry's hand, childish, but old-fashioned in tone.
Cherry touched the top of the walnut's hair distressedly, and looked up at Mi Tao: "Second sister, there is no food at home?" Why don't you take out some of tomorrow's share and make up for it tonight, and then find a way tomorrow? ”
"Where's the renovation? That's all there is to eat at home, and we're going to starve tomorrow morning. Mi Tao sighed deeply, no matter how good her cooking skills are, she can't put rice in the pot.
Carambola put down her chopsticks, hung her long eyelashes, and blamed herself a little: "The eldest sister is incompetent...... If you don't stop Shen Matchmaker today......"
"Eldest sister, what do you say? What kind of family is Li Hu, how can I ask you to marry him? Where can we make you jump into the fire pit for a bite to eat? Speaking of which, I have something I want to ask. Eldest sister, our two acres of land are obviously worth thirty taels, but why did they sell for ten taels of silver? What did our third aunt say? "If you can get these twenty taels back, how can the sisters use it so hard? She wanted to save it for after dinner, but she couldn't hold back.
Who knows, this mention is like stabbing the tear glands of star fruit. After she was slightly stunned, she lowered her head slightly, and tears flowed up.
"Big sister......" Cherry panicked, what's going on? What did the damn third aunt do to make the eldest sister cry like this?
"Look at you, there was a fire that came out, and you can't open any pot." Mi Tao threw a roll of his eyes: "Isn't this all for you?" ”
"For me?" Even if the land is sold to treat her, there is no need to sell it to the third aunt, so why suffer this loss? "My good sister, what's going on?" ”
"At that time, you were injured like that, if you weren't sent to the best hospital in town immediately, I'm afraid your life would be difficult to protect, how could you still talk here alive?" Or Mian Tao opened his mouth: "Zhuang family, how can there be more silver in the family?" At that time, only the third aunt's family had ten taels of silver. But she asked for our two acres of fertile land. If you don't give it, you will have to lose your life, can the eldest sister not give it? ”
As he spoke, the eyes of the cotton peach, who had always been calm, were a little moist: "What my father and mother left us, except for this empty house, there are only those two acres of land." At that time, my mother was sick like that, and my father was not willing to sell, but went to the sea to fish to make money. Now, the land is in our hands. You and Walnut are young, you don't know, the eldest sister has secretly gotten up and cried several times at night. ”
I see...... Cherry was silent. Her heart was tight, this family, these sisters have paid too much for her......
Speaking of their fathers and mothers, the sisters were silent, and the atmosphere in the room was a little heavy.
"Since I mentioned it, then I'll say it too." After a while, Mian Tao took a breath: "When I came back from collecting firewood, I met Mrs. Shen and took a little breath...... The third aunt helped Zhang Luo in this matter, she ...... Mrs. Shen said that if this thing is done, Li Hu promised to give the third aunt two stones of corn cobs after the autumn harvest. ”
