Chapter 7 Be fair as a mother-in-law

The snacks that Pearl bought were very good, and she packed two packs and asked Aunt Wang to take them. The Zhang family is also an ordinary farmer, the family is not bad, the girl of the Zhang family, Pearl has also seen, is a cool person, capable, and good-looking, this family business, Pearl also likes. There was no bad news about their work at home, so it was settled.

In fact, it's nothing to do a happy event in advance, but the old man in the family is going to pass away, which is inevitably suspected of Chongxi, and Chongxi, the most slow thing to treat the girl's family, besides, in case it doesn't take long to enter the door, the old man will die of illness, and it is inevitable that he will be suspected of a broom star. If it weren't for the last resort, the daughter's family would not be happy to let their daughter be happy. But on Pearl's side, there was no Chong Xi to say, but he knew that the people in the family were going to go, and the child would be delayed for three years, and now the third child is not young, and it is not good to delay for three years.

At noon, Aunt Wang had a bad face and brought back the snacks, and when she saw the pearl, she understood, Aunt Wang was a little embarrassed, and said, "This is the silver hairpin they returned, you see...... Old sister, it's all because I didn't get things done. ”

Pearl said with a smile, "My sister must have been wronged over there, no wonder, since their family is so distressed about their daughter, forget it." As for this hairpin...... At the beginning, I was most optimistic about this marriage, so I also picked the best of this thing, looking at this orchid-shaped silver hairpin, there are examples, and there are workmanship. This hairpin was given to my sister, one is to compensate for my sister, and second, the marriage of the third child of my family, I have to rely on my sister to worry more, although those matchmakers are good, but, I believe in people close to me more. ”

The eldest woman's marriage was found by the matchmaker, and the second daughter-in-law was introduced by this aunt. So to speak. Aunt Wang was moved. made a guarantee, I must find a better one for Zhou Deng.

The meat of each family was delivered, and in addition to the people who helped, the elderly people in the family also received some. Four girls make quilts for the family, men, women and children, one person has a set of bedding. It's all thick. herself, on the other hand, is the clothes that she and her husband wear when they have a happy event in the house. She is now an old lady in the eyes of everyone. Even if it is a purple cloth to make a cotton jacket, the skirt is also indigo. He also made a dark green embroidered gold stand-up collar robe. A light brown sprinkled flower stand-up collar robe. The skirt was also made of a few purple ones.

For her husband, she chose indigo Hangzhou silk and made a robe, and the padded jacket inside was also made. Shoes have ready-made bases. Pick a pattern. Just sew it on. It's just that four girls are not easy to do. After thinking about it, it was rare to have a chance to get dressed, so I made a jacket skirt out of muslin. And each of them made a set of sleeve jackets woven with gold and satin. Take advantage of the bright red or royal blue skirt underneath. The cotton pants and padded jackets inside, the material is casual. Shoes they can do on their own.

Because the family bought a lot of polished rice and white noodles, the family always ate polished rice, a meal of white flour, a meal of coarse grains, or a mixture of refined grains and coarse grains. Make dumplings, buns, steamed buns, and cakes. Pearl personally taught her two daughters-in-law and four daughters, especially Zheng, who studied very seriously, and she knew that if she didn't do a good job, she would be in trouble.

Within a few days, Aunt Wang brought back good news, saying that it was from her mother's village. It turned out that Aunt Wang went home and wore a new hairpin on her head, everyone came to ask, Aunt Wang naturally praised the pearl, saying that the Zhou family is benevolent and righteous, and the people who help in the village invite everyone to eat, using a bag of white noodles and a bag of thick noodles, and the meat is enough to eat. Help with the work, and when you leave, you also bring meat and vegetables and steamed buns. This time she helped to say that the marriage did not succeed, Zhou Liu not only did not blame, but said that because of her family, she was wronged, and she didn't know how many words she ate, so she was stunned to give her the hairpin of the marriage.

I heard Aunt Wang talk about the Zhou family, the family is solid, Zhou Deng is strong and handsome, and he has still read, but now he is only afraid that the child will be delayed for three years before getting married in advance, and it is not a joy. Aunt Wang said that although Zhou Ze was sick, he couldn't die for a while. There are 100 acres of fertile land at home, and now I have a lot of silver, so I'm afraid I won't find a good family!

In this way, there happened to be a family, and the woman of her family heard about it, so she went home and told her in-laws that the family was also familiar with Aunt Wang's family, and she went to ask, and she really liked it. Aunt Wang went to meet their daughter, and asked if she could work, not to mention, the girl in this family is better than the previous one, she is exactly sixteen this year, she is good-looking, can embroider, skillful, can speak, and can work. A flower in the village! If it weren't for being too picky, it would have been decided.

Aunt Wang came here to make peace, and the meaning of the pearl is, can the two families take a look at each other. Zhou Deng has no opinion, just say that the pearl likes it. Pearl thought, it's better to see how to know in your heart.

It happened that his family was working as a carpenter, and Pearl wanted to make some furniture, so he went to this house, and looked at the girl, wearing a red jacket, a red long skirt, and a silver hairpin on her head. He wears a pair of tiny earrings on his ears. He looks good and speaks well. I also made a meal for Pearl, and Pearl ate it and felt fine.

I ordered a cabinet with this Zhang family, a chest of drawers, a large wardrobe, and two large bathtubs, paid the fixed money, and went back. On this day, I went on a blind date, and Pearl really didn't wear much of a good thing, an ordinary purple dark rose makeup satin robe, all the way to the top of the feet, inside was a purple skirt, and shoes embroidered with gold thread of the same color. The hair in front of the forehead is parted in the middle, the top of the head is a round bun, and a coral turquoise beeswax is inserted in the bun, and two golden hairpins with golden silk leaves are inserted behind the bun. With gold leaf earrings on his ears and a jade bracelet on his wrist, he looks at the color and is very warm. There is no ring on the finger.

Zhang Yang and his wife looked at Liu's this week, and they felt that it was very unusual, although they were not dressed in much luxury, but the whole person did not look like an ordinary woman. In her speech and demeanor, she was gentle and polite, and she couldn't even tell that she was observing her daughter, and what she didn't know was that she was the one who set things!

When he went back, Zheng was very curious when he saw the pearl, and said, "Mother, the hairpin, bead flower, and this jade bracelet on your head, I haven't seen any of these, did my mother buy it new?" ”

Meng Shi also said, "It's really good-looking, my mother's clothes are the best, and I can't say what's good." ”

Pearl looked at them and said, "Come with me." ”

When she got to the inside of Pearl, Pearl opened the kang cabinet, took out two packages from it, and asked, "Have you made your new padded jacket?" ”

"Almost." Both of them were given cotton and cloth for their cotton clothes. The material for making the outer clothes was also given, and each person had a set of muslin cloth and a set of satin material. Their men's share was also sent. The quilt is ready, and his and Zhou Ze's share has been used, and the other sets of four girls are busy and soon.

Pearl handed the two packages to the two daughters-in-law, and then said, "You have also worked hard recently, the New Year is coming soon, and you may have to be busy with your third brother's affairs. The whole family goes. And this. It's hand cream, soap and body lotion. Hand cream is best used in winter and can treat chilblains. It's expensive things bought in the state capital, along with this foundation, pearl powder, rouge, and lipstick. ”

Pearl opened the box inside the package, leaking out the contents, the rouge was a round box, divided into three colors, and the lipstick had three sticks. None of the colors are too showy, and they suit them well. Both women were happy. After that, Pearl took out a box from the cabinet and opened it, and there were two golden hairpins, one for ruby and one for sapphire. And the pearl gave one to each of them, and another to a mina of ten taels of silver. And then said,

"The third daughter-in-law entered the door, because of the special situation, so the dowry will be more than you at that time, but I don't want you to suffer too much, so these two hairpins are compensated for you, and so is this silver. Take them all back! ”

"Thank you, mother." Both women were very happy.

Pearl said to Zheng, "Old man, you go to the storeroom, fill some snacks, and divide them into two parts." This is the key, installed, a copy for the second family. ”

"Yes, I'll go." Zheng happily took the key and went, probably because he wanted to take the opportunity to get more!

Pearl turned her head to Meng Shi and said, "Over the years, I know the filial piety of the two of you, but you, the second daughter-in-law, have been doing what the eldest daughter-in-law has changed. I know it. This is the mother privately compensated to you, this is ten taels of gold, a pair of skein silver bracelets, this gold you husband and wife secretly put away. Don't tell anyone. This bracelet is heavy enough and looks delicate. I gave it to your mother, she gave birth to a good daughter-in-law for our family, and it also made you go home with more face. ”

"Thank you, thank you!" Meng Erya's family is indeed not good, her parents' income is limited, and after several children get married, the money in her hands is very limited. When people are old and have no money to live by, how can life be good? If a married girl can't bring back any benefits to her mother's family, how can she be popular? This bracelet is really good-looking, if it weren't for her mother-in-law saying that she would give it to her mother, she was afraid that she would be reluctant to wear it. But the ten taels of gold are one hundred taels of silver, such a generous subsidy, no matter how big the two of them have opinions over the years, they have all disappeared.

Zheng picked out two boxes of dim sum from the warehouse and secretly wrapped a lot of them for his sons. I saw that there were rock sugar, winter melon sugar, maltose, jujubes, chestnuts, fruits, dry sausages, sausages, egg sausages, and bacon and bacon. Thinking of going back to his parents' house, he quickly found a basket with a lot of things, and just as he was about to leave, he held the pearl, and when he saw the meat in the basket, the pearl's face turned black.

"Bring something and come with me to the hall."

Zheng was frightened, so he could only lower his head, hold the bamboo basket, and go to the hall. Pearl put something on the table and said, "Get on your knees!" ”

Zheng quickly knelt down, Pearl didn't say anything else, and when it was about to cook, Meng came in and wanted to ask Pearl what she ate at night, and saw her sister-in-law kneeling there, and there was a bamboo basket on the ground, in which were snacks, fruits, candy, jujubes, and meat sausages. I immediately understood that this was my sister-in-law who had been arrested.

Soon everyone came, and the pearl was down to the Zheng family for a while, Zhou Rong looked at the Zheng family like this, and secretly scolded this mother-in-law in his heart for being stupid. In addition, he also felt that his mother was a little too much, but now he didn't dare to say anything. (To be continued.) )
