35.Chapter 35: Begging for a Snake Bone
"Sit, sit!"
Grandpa Tian beckoned, and slowly walked to the recliner and sat down. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
My parents sat down at the stone table, and I was about to carry the teapot again, but my father was preempted by the steamed buns that came with me.
The steamed bun is also very clever, and he immediately came over and dragged me to sit down.
Next, Grandpa Tian instructed her father to spread the word and told everyone to disperse, and the small courtyard quickly quieted down.
I observed, it seems that the steamed bun family should be a long house, so the housework has to be taken care of more, and now I have to participate in the accompanying guests, it seems that Grandpa Tian has to say a lot of things.
And what was Dad going to tell him? Why didn't he tell us beforehand?
"Oops, I'm so happy today!"
When Grandpa Tian said this, he deliberately looked at me, with a smile in his eyebrows and eyes.
But there are a lot of people here today, and there are many ghosts, and I am a little restrained.
And Grandpa Tian's words are somewhat meaningful. On the surface, he is just describing his feelings, but it can also be understood in this way: what he means is that he is really happy today, so he should say that he is happy, and do not discourage people with things that make people unhappy.
Mom is no different, her flat face didn't make the Tian family feel fussed, and Mom herself was calm.
If this is in someone else's house in Shaliu Town, if my mother is like this when she is alive, I am afraid that it will attract many curious or frightened eyes, it seems that there is really a difference between the angle of people and ghosts.
Speaking of Dad, I guess he must have guessed the deep meaning of Grandpa Tian's words, because I saw that his brow was very imperceptible.
But he talked and laughed as if he had nothing to do, as if what he wanted to say was also happy.
At this time, my mother took the steamed bun and hugged it, and reached out to rub it on her head, and the steamed bun was not timid at all, giggling and grimacing at me.
The ghosts of the Tian family and the father present all looked at the mother and steamed buns together, and so did Grandpa Tian, who seemed to enjoy the happy picture in front of him.
Dad spoke: "What does Tian Lao have to tell you, today you are the biggest, as long as we do it, it is our duty to do it!"
Grandpa Tian shirked and said: "How can there be such a reason, when a distinguished guest comes to the door, it is naturally the guest who is the greatest." β
The two of them were polite and prevaricated, and I didn't understand what I saw: I was so tired! If we were young people, if there was really something, Balabala...... After speaking, the matter will be finalized!
Grandpa Tian insisted that the guest is as he pleases, listen to him, and let Dad speak first.
Dad had no choice but to say, "Actually, I'm here to ask for something." β
As soon as I heard this, I immediately gave a bad review in my heart: Dad, Dad, everyone has said, talk about happiness, don't be disappointed; today Grandpa Tian celebrates his birthday, but you ask for something, is this here to ask for something? Is it a snake bone again? But this is too bad scenery!
Grandpa Tian shook his head and said, "It's time to see the outside, your whole family has come to congratulate and bring heavy gifts, it's too late for us to be happy, a "beg" word...... Straight to say, straight to say, you must be satisfied!
Well, what this means is that you are exchanging heavy gifts for things, right?
Hey, I'm a little ashamed, I feel that the sincerity of this gift has turned bad all of a sudden.
Also, what Dad said was "as long as it can be done", while Grandpa Tian said "must be satisfied", and the two realms suddenly made a judgment!
Why do I think my father's ability to deal with people today is very substandard? I can't figure it out!
Mom's face was expressionless, but the air at the scene couldn't help but be a little embarrassed.
But Dad's next sentence suddenly burst out:
"Tian Lao is happy today, of course we only say happy things, we are here to ask for a icing on the cake - let's put it this way, Tian Lao, you have also seen it, the steamed bun is very fond of the child and the kid at first sight, and we are now lacking a girl in our family, so I want to ......"
At this point, my father paused, and all the listeners had strange expressions and reactions, and they were all smiling at me, but I was shocked:
What are you doing, old dad! Are you courting me? Ahem, ahem...... Steamed buns are still four or five years old, where can I put this face? Don't say it, don't say anything!
I was so anxious that I was sweating profusely.
Mom was also surprised, but she didn't speak.
Grandpa Tian was also stunned, his expression was both like wanting to cry and like he wanted to laugh, looking at me at the age of twenty-five, and at the steamed buns of the four or five years old, he stretched out his finger and nodded towards the void, wanting to speak and stopping.
That couldn't be clearer.
He wanted to say, Jiang Qingsheng, your idea is good, but this age gap is here, is it appropriate? It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate to the extreme, what is the icing on the cake, it's obviously deliberately disgusting to the old man!
I felt like I was about to pass out, and I was powerless to shout in my heart: Just sell me like this, Dad, I hate you!
In fact, it was just a blink of an eye, but I guess all the listeners felt that the time was too long and suffocating~
Grandpa Tian was embarrassed and said, "I'm afraid this thing ......"
"Uh...... Tian Lao may have misunderstood, listen to me first. β
Dad waved his hand.
I'm already covering my face in horror again.
I heard my father say again: "I want to ask your permission to promise the steamed buns to our husband and wife to be a righteous daughter." β
"Poof!"
"Dang Changβ"
"Smack!"
"Hahaha......"
The cups fell to the ground and shattered, the fruits rolled everywhere, and the once solemn air of the scene was suddenly loosened, and the audience all staggered, leaning forward and backward with laughter, completely out of shape.
I was on the verge of collapse for a while, and I suddenly turned my face to myself: "Woo woo woo - Dad, you played this trick really hard, my son's heart is almost broken......"
The steamed bun looked innocent and dazed.
Grandpa Tian was about to burst out laughing.
Mom couldn't stand up with a straight smile.
Daddy Mantou was in tears like me.
The funniest thing is my dad, who is still asking inexplicably and seriously, "What, is this proposal funny?"
The audience laughed even harder.
Ouch ouch, spare us!!
After another long time, everyone finally recovered.
Dad is still firmly asking the bottom line: "What, Tian Lao, you don't agree?"
Grandpa Tian replied weakly: "Agree, why don't you agree, this is a good thing, I agree too much, haha......"
My mother looked at me with deep sympathy and glanced at my dad fiercely, he had a really big time this time!
The rest is simple.
Because the birthday ceremony has just passed, incense, lamps, candles, offerings, etc., related things are readily available, and the ghosts of the Tian family who have dispersed have been gathered back again, and everyone has come together to witness the ceremony of recognizing relatives.
Grandpa Tian had already instructed his family to prepare a gift for recognizing his relatives and present it, which was a square box in a tray and covered with a black scarf.
Then the steamed bun was called over to kowtow to his parents, and at this time they also had to give a gift to their goddaughter.
I knew at a glance that my father had come prepared, because from his movements, I could see that he had already brought the gift with him, and it seemed that he had really come to recognize his relatives.
However, the mother was obviously kept in the dark, she was a little embarrassed, and touched her body, and finally gave a gift.
I looked at it again, but it was that day when I accompanied Wang Xinmei shopping, she picked out a beautiful little doll that I took home, and I didn't know that it was hidden by my mother when she was there.
Steamed buns like this little doll very much! Fortunately, my mother is also crooked, and she happened to pass the test.
Mom breathed a sigh of relief, and I was relieved too, fortunately I didn't make a fool of myself!
The Tian family seemed to be more nervous and suspicious than us at first, but when the gift was delivered, they all smiled happily, in their opinion, we were indeed here on a special trip, not on a temporary basis.
But Grandpa Tian smiled meaningfully at me when everyone was not paying attention, which shows that he and I have seen through everything, but both sides know in their hearts and will not say it.
Moreover, it seems that Grandpa Tian previously claimed that he had something to tell his father, but he seemed to have forgotten it deliberately and did not mention it again......
Of course, the matter of admitting relatives is that my father's self-made idea is improvised.
All of a sudden, I somehow had a tricky little sister, and I couldn't react a little.
However, compared to the result of almost being forced to marry a child who goes to kindergarten, this is already a great luck in misfortune!
Hey, let me wipe the sweat first......
We finally got home before dawn, and along the way my mother was very dissatisfied with my father's whim, and kept counting him all the way home.
It's true, I almost made my mother ugly, and this kind of behavior cannot be tolerated.
But Dad was in a good mood, and he didn't care about that.
Because one of the purposes of his and his mother's trip was to ask Grandpa Tian for a piece of snake bone, and this matter was done.
Isn't it just a snake bone? It's worth moving people to worship birthdays, give gifts, and recognize relatives!
But my father criticized me and said, "You only know one thing, but you don't know the other." β
Is there an inside story here?
