Guan Wen's aunt Guan's maiden name is Yunniu, she married at the age of eighteen, and her husband's surname is Zhao. Zhao Guangming is an honest man, diligent, and his family situation is not bad with his hard work. If it weren't for the flying misfortune and being broken by someone, the Zhao family would not have been defeated so far.

Guan has only two sons under his knees, the eldest Zhao Changhui and the second Zhao Changsheng, who inherited the honesty of the father and the kindness of the mother.

According to Guan Wen's statement, Zhao Chang will be more shrewd, and he is sincere but also clever. And Zhao Changsheng is taller than his eldest brother and looks stronger, but he is a master who goes to the head one by one, usually not silently, but admits death.

Li Xin has only seen Zhao Changhui, who is a little short, and was a little shy when he first saw Li Xin, the eldest cousin. As for Zhao Changsheng, she hasn't seen it yet, so it's not easy to evaluate.

Li Xin packed up her and Guan Wen's clothes, carrying three taels of silver and 1,600 yuan in her purse. This is the salary that Steward Cui calculated for the two of them. With money in his hand, Li Xin was very confident in his heart, and put the three taels of silver close to his body, and only counted and counted the 1,600 coins, grinning from the corners of his mouth to his ears.

Guan Wen looked at her and chuckled, "It's not that I haven't seen silver, so happy?" ”

"If I could count the money and count the cramps in my hands one day, I would be satisfied." Li Xin leaned over with a smile, "Give you a thousand yuan, go to your aunt's house and give a red envelope of five hundred yuan to your aunt first, so that she can come when the fourth brother gets married and support the scene as an elder." You can give the eldest cousin another hundred dollars alone, and thank him for helping us run this trip. ”

As he spoke, he counted the money and gave it to Guan Wen, while instructing: "Although they are all real relatives, you also say that your aunt is good to you." But these rituals still have to go. As the saying goes, Shengmi fights against rice, and it's best not to leave any words for others to talk nonsense. ”

Guan Wen silently accepted the money. Sigh: "I didn't think this was so important before. Thinking that they are all their own brothers, it is not a big deal to help or anything. ”

"I'm tired of people for two days, so I should make up for it." Li Xin said: "You have to think about it, what if this is when the farm is busy? The eldest cousin himself can't be busy, isn't this delaying other people's time? ”

Guan Wen nodded in general, picked up the money and said, "Listen to you." ”

"Don't you listen to me?"

After taking care of the things, Li Xin specially wrapped another red envelope of 200 yuan and asked Guan Wen to send it to Steward Cui. Guan Wen was stunned and said: "Steward Cui is not bad for these two money......

"Who's missing those two dollars?" Li Xin poked his head melon seeds, "This is a courtesy." If it weren't for Uncle Cui's approval, we wouldn't have been able to enter Cui's Mansion to do things, and if Uncle Cui hadn't persuaded you to finish your work before leaving. We don't get paid that much. Although Uncle Cui is not short of this little money, he gives money to others to express our gratitude. Li Xin thought for a while and said, "Or don't give money, buy something and send it to Uncle Cui, this gift must be in place." ”

Guan Wen thought about it, so he listened to Li Xin's words, went to buy some cooked food and wine and brought it to Steward Cui, and gave another hundred money, and smiled embarrassedly in Steward Cui's surprise: "My daughter-in-law said that she wants to thank Uncle Cui, not Uncle Cui." We can't go into Cui's house to work. A little caution is not a respect. ”

Steward Cui smiled and pushed the money to Guan Wen, "I'll take the things, and I happen to be a little greedy recently." It's not bad to have a tooth sacrifice. But you have to get the money back. That's what you deserve, and I can't take it. ”

Guan Wen hesitated. Steward Cui smiled: "Your daughter-in-law asked you to come, right?" The eldest sister is really polite and thoughtful, and she will handle things. Awen, you have married a good daughter-in-law, and you have taken care of it for you inside and out, and your life will definitely become more and more prosperous in the future. ”

After pushing Cui several times and not collecting money, Guan Wen saw that he didn't seem to be humble, so he could only get the money back.

Steward Cui asked, "Are you all packed?" The others have gone their separate homes, when are you going to leave? ”

Guan Wen said: "I originally planned to leave today, but I thought I could go to my aunt's house by the way, and I will go back to my hometown tomorrow." ”

"That's okay, no matter how close the blood relationship between relatives is, it will be light if there is less movement; No matter how close the blood is, the more you move around, you will become close relatives. Steward Cui sighed: "I will get up and go to Beijing in two days, and I am afraid that I will not be able to come back in this life." ”

Guan Wen also showed a somewhat melancholy expression.

"But I believe that you two are people with great talents, and I thought so when I first saw you." Steward Cui poured a sip of wine, stretched out his hand and patted Guan Wen's shoulder, "Listen to your daughter-in-law in everything, it's right." Your daughter-in-law is a good one, a clever man, a good hand at home and abroad, you are lucky to marry such a good daughter-in-law......" said and thought to himself, looking very emotional.

Guan Wen didn't have much to say, so he said goodbye after a few more subtle words with Steward Cui, and he had to go to his aunt's house next day.

On the way, Guan Wen and Li Xin talked about Steward Cui's reaction, and Li Xin was silent for a moment before saying: "I heard that Steward Cui's daughter-in-law was matched to him by his master, and I thought it was good earlier, but later I found out that the woman was a little elbow turned out, and she liked to pull good things back to her parents' house, and she also loved to take advantage of others." It was not easy for Steward Cui to get to this position, and the woman had her back against the big tree to enjoy the shade, which caused a lot of trouble for Steward Cui. Later, Steward Cui really felt that it was inappropriate, so he begged the master to send his daughter-in-law to a village in the master's house to do work. ”

Guan Wen also sighed slightly, "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read." ”

After walking for about an hour and a half, I arrived at Zhao's house. At first glance, it is a narrow alley, and it looks a little dirty. The smell around is too strong, and you can see one or two stray cats and dogs strolling around.

Li Xin took a slight breath.

Guan Wen took Li Xin's hand and said softly: "In the past, my aunt and uncle had a shop that sold some food, but then my uncle had an accident, and my aunt couldn't take care of the family's affairs alone, so she had to rent out the shop, and the whole family moved to live in this alley. ”

Li Xin sighed: "It's also bitter for my aunt." ”

The gate of Zhao's house opened at the mouth of the alley, with two dusty door panels, and there was a big dripping water next to the door, and I don't know who poured it. Guan Wen raised his hand and knocked on the door, shouting inside: "Changhui, Changsheng, are you at home?" ”

After a while, the door opened from the inside, and it was Zhao Changhui, whom Li Xin had met. He rubbed his hands and was a little surprised, "Big cousin, big cousin?" ”

Guan Wen said with a smile: "I work part-time at Cui's house, and it's the end of today, I want to go home tomorrow, and my father asked me to come and see my aunt." ”

Zhao Chang will be busy letting in, Li Xin took the opportunity to give him the things he was carrying in his hand and said: "The first time I came, I didn't know what to prepare, so I bought something to eat, and I should honor my aunt." ”

Zhao Changhui said "Cousin-in-law is polite" and let the two of them into the house.

This is a small house, with a hall house facing the door, and bedrooms on the left and right. Behind the hall is probably the stove room and utility room. Although the small family is small, it can be regarded as complete, but it is very narrow.

Li Xin secretly observed that Zhao Changhui had already raised his voice and shouted to the back of the hall: "Mother, the eldest cousin and eldest cousin-in-law have come to see you!" ”

After a few seconds, I saw a thin woman with slightly gray hair coming out from behind, with a face that resembled Guan Wen. Seeing Guan Wen, she walked a few steps excitedly, Guan Wen hugged her, and before Guan Wen could speak, the woman said, "Awen, are you willing to come to see your aunt......"

His voice was choked. Guan Wen also blushed slightly, "I've been working part-time lately, and I'm busy, and now that the matter is over, I have time to see my aunt." As he spoke, he looked back at Li Xin and motioned for her to step forward.

Li Xinfu went down to bow to Yingying, and his voice was very low and soft, "Auntie is good." ”

Guan didn't pay much attention to her, only responded lightly, rubbed Guan Wen's shoulder, took his hand and said, "Let's go, go see your uncle, he always talks about you." ”

didn't care about Li Xin, pulled Guan Wen and left.

Li Xin naturally understood from Guan's words and attitude that this aunt didn't like her, so she didn't bother to dislike people with a shy face. Seeing Guan Wen looking at her, thinking that her uncle was also an elder, and she hadn't seen it yet, so she had to give a salute, so she followed, but she also kept a distance from Guan.

Zhao Chang was slightly embarrassed, put things down, and whispered to Li Xin: "My mother has no malicious intentions, cousin, don't care......"

Li Xin was speechless, seeing that Zhao Chang would be a little anxious, he had to nod slightly, and smiled at him to indicate that it was okay.

But she was naturally uncomfortable in her heart.

Have you ever offended this aunt? She hadn't dealt with her before, so how could she have offended her? Even if this aunt doesn't like her, she has to pay attention to two points on her face, she is the new daughter-in-law who came to see the elders, but she was directly ignored by the elders, as if there was no such personal existence as her. It is impossible for Li Xin to have no pimples in his heart.

Guan Wen has always said that his aunt is kind and good to him, and Li Xin originally had a good impression of her. Seeing that she was not too old but her hair was slightly gray, and she knew that she had worked hard for most of her life, and felt that she was pitiful, she naturally sympathized with her. But as soon as Guan ignored him, Li Xin was a little uncomfortable.

The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment, that's the truth.

Guan took Guan Wen into a bedroom, and Zhao Guangming lay on a recliner next to the bed, skinny and skinny, looking like a bone shelf. Guan said to him excitedly: "Boss, who do you think is coming?" ”

Zhao Guangming looked at Guan Wen, as if his eyes were lit up, "Awen! With that, he stretched out his hand to Guan Wen.

"Uncle." Guan Wen hurriedly stepped forward to shake his hand, sighed heavily and said, "Uncle, you have lost weight again." ”

Zhao Guangming smiled happily, "Don't get in the way, don't get in the way." What about your daughter-in-law? I haven't made it to marry you, and I haven't seen your daughter-in-law yet. ”

Guan Wen hurriedly shouted backwards: "Xin'er, come and give your uncle a salute." ”

Guan didn't stop and stepped aside. Li Xin hurriedly took two steps forward and blessed, "Hello uncle." ”

"Good, good, good!" Zhao Guangming nodded hurriedly, "Awen, okay!" You're finally married! ”

Guan pursed his lips and stepped forward and said, "Boss, you take care of your body." Awen, help your uncle to sit up, lest he lie down all day without a trace of energy. You two have a good chat. ”

Guan Wen did so, and Guan Shi looked at Li Xin lightly, "Awen's daughter-in-law come with me." (To be continued)
