Chapter 177: Substitute Marriage (5)
Old Man Wang was very happy when he heard this. I thought: They all say that the son-in-law is stupid, it seems that it is a false rumor, and this sentence depends on the general public. I was happy in my heart, so I asked Feng Dasha to estimate how much the cow was worth.
Feng Dasha pretended to touch the horns of the ox, tugged the tail of the ox, and said, "Estimate, two hundred and five." ”
When the old man Wang heard this, his son-in-law was more happy, and he hurriedly put his son-in-law in the courtyard.
Feng Dasha followed his father-in-law inside, and saw a chicken nest, he wanted to show off himself, and said: "This chicken nest is good, and it can be a big north house when it grows up." ”
Old man Wang was stupid when he heard his son-in-law. "Cough", shook his head and continued to walk inside.
There was a jar of pickles on the doorstep, and when he saw it, he said, "This jar is good, and when it grows up, it can be used as a big water tank."
Old Man Wang's brows furrowed into pimples. The eldest brother also covered his mouth and snickered.
Entering the house, Feng Dasha saw the clock and remembered what his daughter-in-law said. He said: "This clock is good, it is still a foreign product, and the things made by foreigners are good!" ”
As soon as Old Man Wang heard this, he raised his spirit again. I thought that the stupid things my son-in-law said just now were a joke. So, he set up a banquet to entertain his son-in-law.
was drinking on the head, Zhang Huanqiao held the child to see the new son-in-law. Old man Wang introduced his son-in-law and said, "This is your sister-in-law." ”
Feng Dasha shouted "sister-in-law", and when he saw that the child's pink little face was very cute, he wanted to praise a few words. What can I say? I was anxious and remembered what my daughter-in-law said, so I said, "Heh, this child is good, and he is still a foreign product." What foreigners make is good. ”
When Zhang Huanqiao heard it, wasn't he scolding? said viciously: "Your family's talents are made by foreigners!" ”
It turns out that this Zhang Huanqiao has a problem: he is angry or tired from work, and he loves to fart when he doesn't eat well. I was not lightly angry today, I made an old mistake, and I suddenly broke out of a fart.
Feng Dasha heard his sister-in-law farting, and immediately said: "My sister-in-law's fart is good, and she can be a cannon when she grows up." ”
One sentence made some of the people at the dinner table spray rice, and some covered their mouths and laughed. Even Old Man Wang couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Zhang Huanqiao made a big fuss, hugged the child and ran away. But there was a big pimple in my heart.
But the weather is not beautiful, and it snows heavily after lunch. Feng Dasha was also the same as Wang Erdu, and was stopped at his father-in-law's house.
Zhang Huanqiao was angry during the day, and when he saw Feng Dasha being blocked at home, he had a bad idea in his heart: to rectify the stupid second son-in-law and give himself the evil breath during the day.
Miss Wang Er is newly married, and according to custom, she cannot live in the same room with her husband. After taking care of Feng Dasha's futon, he went back to his room to rest.
Zhang Huanqiao seemed particularly diligent that night. said to the mother-in-law who was tired and had back pain: "Mother, you should rest early, and I will arrange my brother-in-law's accommodation." ”
couldn't help but say, picked up the futon prepared by Miss Wang Er and went to the east side room. When cleaning the room, he took advantage of the family's inattention to put the futon in a broken grass shed, and then led Feng Dasha in and locked the door from the outside.
The northwest wind was still blowing, and it was as cold as an ice cellar in the house. The kang in the house was cold, and there was no quilt, Feng Dasha fell asleep and was woken up by the freeze. He got up and touched everywhere, and when he touched half of the beam, he picked it up and turned it around in the house. After a while, I was tired and sweating.
The mother-in-law woke up, listened to the wind outside, and was worried that her son-in-law's bedding would be less cold, so she shouted through the window: "His brother-in-law, is the kang cold?" ”
Feng Dasha replied in the house: "If you lose the beam, if you don't carry the beam, you will freeze to death." ”
When the mother-in-law heard this, she wondered: Why didn't she freeze to death if she didn't get cold? I slowly got up and wanted to go into the house to have a look.
Zhang Huanqiao also heard the conversation, first, he wondered in his heart; Second, I was afraid that I would expose the stuffing, so I hurriedly came over and said to my mother-in-law: "Mother, it is windy at night, and you have back pain, don't go out of the house." I'm going to see if my brother-in-law is cold? ”
Saying that, he walked out of the north house, came to the east side room, opened the door, and saw that Feng Dasha was carrying half a beam and turning! Seeing Zhang Huanqiao coming in, he stopped and wiped the sweat on his face with his hands.
Zhang Huanqiao held on to the half-section of the beam and said to Feng Dasha: "It's convenient to go outside, you can't get out after locking the door for a while." ”
Feng Dasha was also about to relieve himself, so he went to the courtyard.
Zhang Huanqiao hurriedly carried out the half of the beam, and when Feng Dasha came back, he locked him in the house again.
Feng Dasha slept for a while, and got up again from the cold. groping and trying to carry the beam again. But I didn't touch it after touching it.
He continued to touch it, and he touched a large vat. When I touched the jar, it contained half a jar of rice bran, and it was very warm, so I stripped naked and fell into the chaff and fell asleep beautifully.
The mother-in-law was not in good health, she was tired for another day, her back hurt very much, and she couldn't sleep while lying on the kang, so she recalled what her son-in-law had just said. I still wonder about the sentence "If you don't cool off, you will freeze to death".
Although the eldest daughter-in-law went to see it, but the eldest daughter-in-law's temper was cloudy for a while and sunny for a while, so don't have any slings? So, he shouted through the window again: "His brother-in-law, is the kang cold?" ”
Feng Dasha replied: "The chaff is not cold, it is very warm!" ”
As soon as the mother-in-law heard that "the kang is not cold", she relaxed and slept steadily.
Zhang Huanqiao was puzzled here: Why is the kang not cold, but quite warm? She opened the door of the east side room again, and when she entered the house, she saw that her stupid son-in-law was sleeping soundly in the chaff jar!
Where is Zhang Huanqiao willing to give up! stepped forward to wake up Feng Dasha and said, "You come out, I'll scoop up the chaff and feed the pigs." ”
Feng Dasha slept naked, and when he saw that his aunt and sister-in-law were going to scoop chaff, he hurriedly climbed out of the tank and hid in the inner room with his hand over his crotch.
Zhang Huan happened to see the stupid son-in-law dodging, so he hurriedly poured two buckets of water into the tank and locked the door again.
When Feng Dasha saw his aunt and sister-in-law go out, he hurriedly touched the edge of the tank and crawled inside, and the chaff wet ice silk was cold. Feng Dasha was even colder, crawled out of the tank, and shouted tremblingly:
"Mother-in-law, I'm so cold. The kang is cool and the chaff is cool and there is no beam to carry. ”
Mrs. Wang seemed to hear someone shouting cold in her sleep, because she was worried about this in her heart, and she woke up violently. Listen carefully, it's really the son-in-law who is greeting.
Busy dressing and going to the ground, "poof", three steps and two steps. When I came to the door of the east wing and touched it with my hand, I saw that the door was locked from the outside, and I felt that something was wrong.
When I opened the door and lit the light, I found my new son-in-law squatting in the corner shivering from the cold, and I saw that there was no bare futon on the kang. Thinking of the eldest daughter-in-law's "courtesy" tonight, everything is completely understood.
Mrs. Wang didn't care about the customs, and sent her son-in-law to the second daughter's room. Feng Dasha didn't get frozen.
This time, Mrs. Wang couldn't stand it. I thought: Let the second daughter change her parents to marry a stupid son-in-law, this is a helpless thing.
This family already owes the second daughter a lifetime of love. Seeing that her daughter respects her son-in-law, a stupid son-in-law is just a little stupid, and no one should worry about him.
How can there be torture in the middle of the night? It's inhumane to treat a fool like this! Mrs. Wang was so angry that she shed tears for a long time.
When she got up early the next day, Miss Wang Er didn't eat, and led Feng Dasha to walk away with tears.
This made Mrs. Wang even more uncomfortable. A wave of anger rushed to his head, and he broke into Zhang Huanqiao's room and questioned him.
Zhang Huanqiao is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he quarrels with each other. After arguing, they lost their mouths, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law scolded each other.
Mrs. Wang felt sorry for her second daughter, and she was disobedient by her eldest daughter-in-law, so she couldn't do it in her heart. After being persuaded to go back to the house, he sat on the edge of the kang and cried. happened to be heard by Qi Xiaoting, who entered the door.
After knowing the original incident, Qi Xiaoting knocked over the five-flavor bottle in her heart:
Two flower-like, smart and clever women, for the sake of their stupid brother, are willing to sacrifice the happiness of their lives to renew each other, this is already singing and crying, how can the family still make such a move!
Although this is their family matter, they can't take care of it. But when I ran into it, I didn't care at all, and I couldn't stand the owner of this body.
But how?
Qi Xiaoting suddenly remembered that there were still many treasures in the space from the Snake King Cave. I thought: Seeing that their lives are not very rich, why not give the two Huan relatives some of them, maybe they can feel a little more comfortable.
Seeing that Miss Feng San had a lock pouch on her body, she knew that it was a personal item given by her mother, so she opened it and looked at it, and saw that there were only a few headdresses inside, and she couldn't help but strengthen her thoughts.
It turns out that there is a custom in this era: before the daughter gets married in the sedan chair, the mother will give a purse embroidered with a unicorn, which is filled with jewelry, hoping that the daughter will have a noble son as soon as possible after marriage. This purse is also called a "lock bag".
Qi Xiaoting just used it to make a fuss.
So, he picked two copies of the pearl agate, gold and silver jewelry in the space, which were enough to fill the lock pouch, one was packed in Miss Feng San's lock pouch, and the other was wrapped in a cloth bag. No matter which one it is, it is enough for my life.
However, how to give them, Qi Xiaoting was worried.
Although Miss Feng San has a lock bag, she may panic when she sees it. In case she screamed to let Mrs. Wang know, Mrs. Wang must have thought that her mother was biased towards her daughter, and transferred all the treasures in the family to her daughter privately. When the words reached the ears of Miss Wang Er, it would cause a family conflict if she couldn't keep it.
Miss Wang Er has not met Qi Xiaoting until now, and there is no reason to give it.
Qi Xiaoting suddenly thought of the half jar of chaff. I opened the west wing and looked at it, and found that it was wet, and the chaff was soaked in water, and it was cold and cold. Zhang Huanqiao used this method to rectify his new son-in-law, but he was also a little lacking in morality.
Qi Xiaoting wrapped the cloth for Miss Wang Er in a chaff jar and soaked it, soaked it, and then took it and walked to Mrs. Wang.
Mrs. Wang was still crying, and there were three neighbors in the house who were persuading.
Seeing Qi Xiaoting coming, a neighbor said to Mrs. Wang: "The new daughter-in-law is here, don't cry, let the child see the joke." ”
Mrs. Wang stopped crying, patted the edge of the kang with her hand, let Qi Xiaoting sit beside her, and muttered in a nasal voice: "I didn't take good care of your brother last night and made him suffer." He cried again.
Qi Xiaoting hurriedly persuaded: "He is strong and resistant, don't take it to heart." Still, maybe it's a good thing. ”
Mrs. Wang saw that the new daughter-in-law did not complain about herself, and said, "Xu is a good thing", so she stopped crying, took Qi Xiaoting's hand, and said with tears in her eyes: "Good boy, if you don't blame me, I will recite Amitabha, what other good things!" ”
