Chapter 5 Going to Grandpa's House
Liu Tonghammer wanted to take the family out, but Liu Gui said that he wanted to read a book, so as to save the cost of lighting the lamp at night. Liu Tonghammer and his wife didn't say much. Pearl looked at Liu Gui's meaning, but because Liu Gui was not happy to go over.
In the evening, everyone came out for a stroll after dinner, and met a lot of people along the way, and saw that the three pearl sisters were stunned, but they didn't expect the three daughters of the Liu family to be so beautiful, especially the big girl, and you can't find such a beauty in ten miles and eight villages!
Before arriving at the place, the door of Grandpa Liu Da's house was already full of people, and when Liu Tonghammer strode in, everyone was still gathered at the door!
When I entered the hall, I saw my grandfather Liu Da and my grandmother Jin sitting on the kang, and there was an old man in his seventies sitting in the kang, his face was a little yellow. On the way, I heard the second and third girls say that the uncle and the two aunts were born to her, and her father was born to the concubine back then, or Liu Da's cousin, and the widow ran over.
Before he could speak, he heard a middle-aged woman sitting next to him say, "I'm back, why don't you kowtow to your grandparents quickly."
Pearl looked at the ground, it was all mud and phlegm, how could she kneel? Thinking of this, he hurriedly blessed his body, and said in his mouth, "I haven't seen grandpa and grandparents for so many years, how are you doing?" This was brought back from the capital by her granddaughter, and she was specially filial to her grandfather and grandparents. ”
After speaking, he put the things down, and the Fang clan next to him pointed to the man sitting on the side and said, "This is your uncle, you don't know each other, right?" ”
"Not really! This is my aunt! My niece has brought you gifts, too. Look at it, is it to your liking? With that, he put the cloth on it.
Liu Tongsuo and Zhou hurriedly took it and took a look, it was really a good material, and the color was also good.
"Mine?"
Erniu said on the side, "This is my sister-in-law." ”
Pearl took the fabric for her sister-in-law from Sanniu's arms and gave her a prepared purse. Sister Xiaogu Yue looked at the fabric, it was not silk, and the pearl sisters were wearing silk embroidered clothes. The face was pulled down, and when I saw that there was a red envelope with a bulge inside, I opened it and saw that there were at least thirty yuan, and then I saw the clothes on the three sisters, pouted, and didn't say anything.
Then it was Liu An, seeing that he was really sickly, looking at Pearl a little cramped, and whispering 'cousin', Pearl smiled and gave a red envelope, which was also thirty Wen, and then Qiaogu, a round-faced girl with big eyes, was looking at her drippingly, and Pearl gave a red envelope.
Jin looked at the fabric, not very satisfied, he knew that the big girl came back and pulled two carts of things! The three sisters are wearing silk embroidered clothes, and the pearl head is wearing a silver hairpin, which is bright and beautiful, and it costs a lot of money to make it, not to mention that it is so long, such a big hairpin, and I saw the box again, and hurriedly opened it, and saw that it was just a pastry, and I couldn't help but be more disappointed, Sister Yue came over, saw the pastry at a glance, grabbed a piece and ate it, and shouted that it was good, and seemed to think it was good, so I immediately covered the box.
Jin complained, "You kid, your father and I haven't tasted it yet!" There are so many people here! ”
Pearl looked at Grandpa Tai and Grandpa who didn't speak, but looked at everyone's faces, and said to Old Man Liu, "Grandpa, you can eat it too, there is something soft in it." ”
"Well, okay, okay." Old Man Liu nodded happily,
Liu Tonghammer said, "Eat it!" ”
Liu Tongsuo took the eldest brother's words and said, "There must be a big brother's family, right?" ”
No one answered. Liu Tongsuo's daughter-in-law, Zhou, was helping on the side, looking at the pearl, with a hint of contempt in her eyes, and asked, "Big girl, it stands to reason that the big girl of the rich and noble family will be released at seventeen or eighteen, and you are nineteen years old before you come out, won't you really be a room for people?" ”
One sentence made Liu Tongzhu and Fang Shi angry, but Pearl replied with a smile, "It's a pity, I don't have that good fortune." ”
"Shut up!" Liu Tongsuo scolded his daughter-in-law,
Pearl is not a fool, at this time to scold Zhou, obviously has some deep meaning, as if to say, although this is a fact, but how can you say it?
Kim glanced at the pearl and said, "Nineteen, it's not small, staying at home will make people laugh, let's see each other quickly!" Alas! It's all debts! ”
Liu Da also spoke at this time, "It's nineteen, what can I find?" Alas! I'll take my time and ask! ”
"Don't bother with the two elders. My eldest girl now has a big name, called Pearl, and the matter of seeing each other is naturally up to our parents. "Fang's is obviously angry,
Kim's eyes froze, "What is this called?" We don't care who cares? ”
"Aren't they all separated? What's up? Do you have to take care of our children and grandchildren lying at your feet? Liu Tonghammer roared,
Pearl really didn't expect Daddy to be so powerful! The Jin family was so angry that he was about to get up and beat people, Liu Tongsuo said at this time,
"Second brother, you think too much, look, it's getting dark, go back early!"
Pearl didn't say a word, even the etiquette was saved, anyway, they didn't care about these etiquette.
After coming back, the family sat together, obviously Liu Tonghammer and his wife were still angry about what happened just now, Pearl looked like this, changed the topic, Fang, said,
"Mother, there is also a box in my house with new-style seeds, let's take it out and put it in the warehouse in a while!"
Liu Gui was interested and asked Pearl, "New seeds?" ”
"Coming from overseas, potatoes and sweet potatoes, also called potatoes and sweet potatoes, have high yields and do not pick the ground. The corn seeds I brought back are also good, and they can be planted next year. ”
"Really? Then I'll have to check it out! Liu Tonghammer said that he was about to go down to the ground and put on his shoes.
was pulled by Fang's hand, "It's getting dark, I'll see it tomorrow." In a moment, you and the boss put all the potatoes in that box in the barn. ”
"Alas!" Liu Tonghammer is still very persistent about potatoes and crops.
Liu Hai opened his mouth and asked Pearl, "Sister, I didn't dare to add more things in the house, I don't know what you want?" ”
"That's right! Let's fight! If you hit a new one, it will be used as a dowry in the future. Fang said excitedly,
"I want a desk, I want a bookcase. Well...... Let's make a big closet! It is also necessary to put the piano stand and the kang table. Speaking of this, seeing that Zhao's face was not good, he knew that he was worried about instructing his husband to do day work, and said, "I'll just pay for it myself." ”
Liu Hai hurriedly said, "No, it's enough for me to go to the mountain and cut two logs." ”
Fang also said, "I'll pay for it." ”
Pearl held Fang's hand and said, "When I get the dowry, I will let the family pay for it, I still have it here!" Besides, in a few days, I will start embroidering, and I can fill in some entries at home. ”
Who would have thought that Liu Gui would actually say that he wanted a bookcase, and Pearl was happy and remembered Ning Caichen. "Good! I'll give you the best looking one. ”
"What's the use of a good bookcase, it's better to be practical." Liu Gui doesn't go to the school in the town now, saying that he wants to study at home.
After talking for a while, Pearl went back to her room, and the things had not yet been cleaned up, and what should be taken out had to be carefully thought through. One box was filled with seeds, and the other box was filled with pen, ink, paper, and inkstones. Not full, Pearl was going to put something in the space inside. Jewelry and silver should also be thought of how much to take out.
