"Xiu'er, I see that your aunt seems to be a little unhappy, you look at that face, it's almost two and a half feet long, we didn't say anything wrong, right? Didn't offend her, did you? ”

When the banquet was dispersed, Han Mingxiu and Huo Jianfeng sent it off together, and the loudspeaker took advantage of Han Mingxiu's time to send her, and said this in Han Mingxiu's ear.

Han Mingxiu also saw that the eldest mother was unhappy, and the reason for the unhappiness she could think of with Lame Gai'er, she must have been unhappy because she knew the bride price that Huo Jianfeng gave her, not only because Huo Jianfeng was angry because she had saved so much money behind her back, but also because Huo Jianfeng had saved the money and didn't give her but bought a bride price for herself, plus she didn't bring these bride gifts with her, they all stayed at her parents' house, so at this time, Aunt Huo couldn't tell what she was going to become, it would be strange to be happy!

It's just that I can't say these words to others, I can only say: "It's okay, she's menopausal, don't worry about her, it'll be fine in a while......"

When the big horn heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Oh, that's good! I thought it was wrong for us to say something wrong that made people unhappy? It's weird to give me this heart, you said that you sent a trip to your relatives and offended your in-laws, this set of eggs is ......"

"What's the matter, you're thinking too much." Han Mingxiu comforted him while sending the loudspeaker to the carriage back to the village.

The villagers of Sun Aotun were full of food and drink, and got into the car and left satisfied.

Lin Hongwei came by his own car, did not take Sun Aotun's carriage, today he and Han Mingyu came over, did not bring children, the two of them drove directly from the county seat to Xiaodongshantun, and came to the Huo family to drink wine.

At this moment, Huo Jianfeng was talking to Lin Hongwei, and Lin Hongwei offered to pick them up on the fourth day of the new year, that is, to pick up the two of them at noon, and then send them to the county railway station.

In this way, they will be able to go back to the door and get on the carriage without mistake, and they will not have to take the carriage to enter the county seat.

Huo Jianfeng himself was not afraid of being punished by the cold, and he was not willing to trouble others, but for the sake of his daughter-in-law, he still accepted the love of his brother-in-law and gladly accepted it.

On the other side, Han Mingyu took Han Mingxiu's hand, gave her twenty yuan, and whispered: "Take it, sister doesn't know what you lack, so I can only give you some money, and when you get to the black province, take the money to buy it yourself." ”

Han Mingxiu knew that the second sister and the second brother-in-law had no money, and the second brother-in-law's monthly salary had to be handed over to his father. This twenty yuan is not a lot for her, but for the second sister and the second brother-in-law, it is a lot of money, and it may take a few months to save it.

She didn't want it, but the second sister stuffed the money into her pocket very strongly, and Han Mingxiu couldn't refuse, so she had to accept the money......

Han Mingcui didn't leave, she stayed to help wash the dishes and clean up the table or something, she was afraid that her sister would have to do these jobs when she left, so she took the initiative to stay and help......

didn't wait for the mother's house to run out, the villagers who came to drink the wine in Xiaodongshan Tun'er poured into the warm shed without organizing, they all sat down and waited to drink wine and eat meat.

They all saw the banquet just now, the large plate of fat slices, the oily oil shuttle, and the trembling jelly, fragrant eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs, are all easy to chew and wrap, it is rare to eat such a good banquet, but you can't grab a seat!

When the guests were seated, they had to quickly pack up and prepare for the food.

The few women who came to help the Huo family hurriedly removed the empty plates and bowls on the table, wiped the table and took out the garbage, and several rolled up their sleeves and brushed the dishes and dishes in the kitchen......

The chef was also busy stir-frying and stewing rice, and he was very busy for a while.

Uncle Huo and Grandma Huo were busy greeting guests, and at the same time, they had to watch the progress of the kitchen, and they were also so busy that they hit the back of their heads.

But at this moment, Uncle Huo's little daughter came over to find Uncle Huo, saying that her mother was looking for him.

Uncle Huo hurriedly ran back to the house and saw his daughter-in-law sitting leisurely on the kang, talking to a few daughters.

It's like that, as if it has nothing to do with her.

As soon as he saw her like this, Uncle Huo was angry, but this was not the time to be angry, with her temper, if he dared to tell her this, she would definitely have to make trouble, this is a happy day, he didn't want to quarrel with her, so he had to suppress his spleen and say, "What's the matter?" ”

Aunt Huo's eyelids rolled: "What are you talking about?" Don't you know what you're hiding from me? ”

Uncle Huo said, "What am I hiding from you?" Can you just say that we're busy outside, so let's not guess if it's boring? ”

Aunt Huo said: "Okay, just say it directly, let me ask you, did you go to Sun Aotun with Xiaofeng and Sun Aotun to give a bride price in the first few days?" ”

Hearing this, the expression on Uncle Huo's face froze suddenly.

"This ...... This ......"

This was secretly carried out by the two of them behind her back, how could she let her know?

Aunt Huo saw Uncle Huo's dry stool expression, and she understood everything. She was so angry that she slapped the table and said loudly: "Wow, you Huo Hongshan, you really went out to borrow money to buy a bride price for that little calf, this gave you generosity, did you listen to the old lady's words, pointing to your nephew in the future to give you a pension?" ”

"I'm going to have your spring and autumn dreams, people are starting to hide their hearts from you now, and they can still feed you in the future? Do you dare to think about it? What's wrong with your brain? ”

Huo Hongshan hurriedly said: "I didn't borrow any money, really, I didn't borrow a cent, it was all from Xiaofeng himself." ”

After saying that, he covered his mouth all at once, and almost bit his tongue off with regret.

When he said this, wouldn't it be tantamount to admitting in disguise that they did give Xiao Xiu'er a dowry?

Oops, what a whole thing, when I was in a hurry, my mouth was bald, and I told the truth.

Uncle Huo rubbed his hands anxiously, but Aunt Huo didn't dwell on this matter, but only looked at him fixedly and said, "Let me ask you, where did he get all that money?" Are you stealing a small amount behind our backs? ”

Huo Hongshan hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, Jianfeng is not that kind of person." ”

"Then where did he get the money? It's a sewing machine and a radio, and I gave an extra hundred yuan, which adds up to four or five hundred yuan, where did I get it? Aunt Huo asked.

Sister Huo interjected and said, "Could it be that he sold deer antler and deer skins or something?" I've heard that someone compares deer antler velvet to one of our three treasures in the Northeast, and ginseng mink is the same price, he hunted two deer at once, and the antler velvet of those two deer will definitely be sold for a lot of money. ”

Aunt Huo is a rural woman, her knowledge is limited, she only knows that deer antler and deer skins can be sold for money, but she doesn't know how much she can sell, let alone how much she can sell so much.

Hearing the words of the eldest daughter, Aunt Huo became even more angry, isn't this equivalent to getting her money out under her nose? Is this worth it?

"Wow, wow, I have raised him for more than ten years for him to eat and wear, and I have raised a white-eyed wolf, and I have learned to hide my heart with the two of us, Fengxia, you go and summon the two of them to me!"

Aunt Huo gave an order, Feng Xia immediately ran out, she was hoping that Huo Jianfeng and the two of them were unlucky, as soon as she heard her aunt call the two of them to come in to clean them up, she had to hurry!

At this moment, Huo Jianfeng and Han Mingxiu were greeting guests, and when they heard Aunt Huo calling them, the couple immediately thought of why Aunt Huo called them.

Han Mingxiu shook his head and sighed secretly in his heart.

This person is too greedy, she is not satisfied with Huo Jianfeng's father's pension and the five yuan Huo Jianfeng gave her every month, and she still wants to keep all her belongings for herself, who does she think she is?

Don't say that she is just a big mother, she is Huo Jianfeng's mother-in-law, if she wants to smack them like this, Han Mingxiu can't agree!

Han Mingxiu is not bad for money, nor is he bad for that little thing. Speaking from the heart, the sewing machine and the radio together are not worth a drop in the bucket of space, but how much is the value of things comes second, and the main thing is not like that?

You said that you are a big lady, why do you dare to open your mouth and want anything?

If she was a kind and benevolent elder who had been treating Huo Jianfeng well, what difficulties would she encounter at this time, Han Mingxiu would go all out to help her. Not to mention a sewing machine and a radio, no matter how much she takes, she doesn't blush.

But here's the thing is – she's not that kind of person. She is selfish and mean, greedy and stingy, and she is even greedy for the little meat at Huo Jianfeng's wedding banquet, which shows how selfish, greedy, ruthless and indifferent she is.

Such a person is not worthy of her respect, let alone her bride price and her money.

Those few bride prices were earned by Huo Jianfeng desperately for her, things are priceless, how could she ask someone to calculate such a valuable thing?

"Jianfeng, let's go in." Han Mingxiu glanced at Huo Jianfeng.

Huo Jianfeng understood what she meant, so he went back to the house with her.

In the house, Uncle Huo was anxiously persuading Aunt Huo: "Shufen, today is a big day, this will be busy outside, let's not mention this matter first, okay?" Wait for everyone to leave, let's sit down and talk slowly, okay? ”

Aunt Huo glanced at him, "When you gave the bride price behind my back, why didn't you sit down and talk to me slowly?" At this point, I grabbed it, and then I remembered to sit down and say slowly, I tell you, it's late. ”

Sister Huo said meaningfully: "Mother, didn't you say that her family still had a bicycle?" Why didn't you see her pull the bike over? What does she mean? Everyone is married to our family, why are all the things left in my mother's house? Since she is our family, this car should also be our family, if this car becomes our family, wouldn't it be convenient for me to look back and forth with you? ”

Among the five daughters in the family, the eldest looks the most similar to Aunt Huo, and her temperament is also similar. So Aunt Huo has always been very good to this eldest girl, and it is precisely because of this that Sister Huo dares to think of anything.

Second Sister Huo has a lot of eyes, and she knows that these things are not like venison with fish, which can be given to her casually, so she doesn't care, so she sits on the kang with the child in her arms without saying a word, looking like she is watching a good show.

Not long after, Han Mingxiu and Huo Jianfeng came in, and saw the eldest lady sitting at the kang table with her face pulled, with a posture of asking who was guilty.

Uncle Huo spun in a circle on the ground, like an ant on a hot pot.

Huo Jianfeng already knew what was going on in the house, he didn't poke it, he just said with a cold face, "Auntie, I'm busy outside, what's the matter with you?" ”

Aunt Huo said coldly, "I just want to ask you, what kind of dowry did you give Xiaoxiu?" ”

Huo Jianfeng said, "I sent 100 yuan and two pieces of fabric, is there a problem?" ”

Aunt Huo sighed twice, stared at Huo Jianfeng with dead fish eyes, and said, "Then why did I hear that you also gave her a sewing machine and a radio?" Xiaofeng, although I am not your mother, I have also raised you for ten years, and it is more important to raise you than to be born, so it is not right for you to hide your heart from me like this. ”

Han Mingxiu said, "Auntie, you misunderstood, he sent a sewing machine and a radio to my house, but it wasn't for me, he borrowed it to save face, he has a comrade-in-arms who is in charge of the warehouse in the county department store, and he borrowed the sewing machine and the radio from his comrade-in-arms, and we have to return it to others when we go back in the fourth year of junior high school." ”

Aunt Huo was stunned, "Borrowed?" ”
