Chapter 4 Stone Jubilee

At noon on the 17th, Zhihua returned home.

When the mother-in-law saw the flower, she not only came to inquire, but asked, "The flower, what happened before!"

The flowers came one by one, not only sighed: This matter wronged Aiju and put her in an embarrassing place, she really shouldn't be!

Mother-in-law said: The flower does not have to be guilty, I believe: "Good people have their own good rewards, and evil people have their own evil people to grind", you are a good person, you don't have to blame yourself too much.

Zhihua said: That being said, it is not a taste in my heart.

After all, I've been a subordinate before.

I know the sufferings very well.

The mother-in-law continued: Our family is not a big family, and it is a blessing for our family to meet you in this life.

Zhihua said: I don't want to marry a rich family, I just want my husband to be able to get along with me, my relatives can live in harmony, and my children can be safe, which is the greatest satisfaction for me.

The mother-in-law boasted: The flower is kind-hearted, come, eat.

The mother-in-law shouted, "I have already prepared a meal for you."

Soon, the father-in-law of the flower (畾野) came back, and the grandfather had just finished going to the ground.

When Zhihua saw her father-in-law coming over, she not only called: Dad, you're back, let's have dinner together!

He put down his hoe and replied, "Well!" he walked into the house and took the bowl to serve the rice.

"Goo-dong, goo-dong" The meal has been eaten.

Zhihua said: Dad, mother, I'll discuss something with the two of you! I plan to marry Qianqian to the Aiju family, what do you two think?

Ye Ye was confused when he heard this, and interrupted: Aiju is?

"Okay, forget it, I think it's okay." Mother-in-law said:

Ye Ye was full of sorrow and said, "What are you doing?" Who is Aiju? I have to understand! Now, Qianqian is still studying with a few brothers and sisters!

Besides, this matter is a lifelong event for Qianqian.

Mother-in-law said: Old man, don't talk about it, this matter! Originally, Zhihua could make her own decisions, but she still told us, which shows that Zhihua's heart is open.

As for Aiju's matter, let me explain it to you later.

At noon on the 20th, an old man came to Aiju's door, and he was dressed in tatters.

The stone asked, "Grandpa, what are you doing here?"

The old man replied: I haven't eaten all day, little brother, you can do well, give me a bite to eat!

Shi Shi said: "Grandpa, I'm sorry! We can't open the pot now, and our brothers rely on chopping some firewood and selling it, and most of the time, we still have to rely on the leftovers and leftovers of the rich man's family to get food and clothing.

Now, as for now, we really can't help it.

said: Aiju came with a rice bowl.

When the old man saw the rice bowl in Aiju's hand, his two eyes stared at it intently.

Seeing this, Aiju stopped.

Suddenly, the mound took the rice bowl and planned to bring it into the back room.

I saw the old man open his mouth slightly.

Aiju said: Mound, come, bring the rice in the bowl and give it to this old man.

The mound handed over the rice, and the old man opened the lid of the rice, and he grabbed the rice vigorously and slurped it in his mouth.

Mounds of dirt they stood by and watched.

Shui Shui hid behind the stone, his mouth chewing constantly.

Gobbling up: The old man is already full and is hiccups.

A handful of rice fell on the floor, and Shui Shui walked over, picked it up, and threw it into his mouth.

At this time, the old man had disappeared, and everyone was a little confused.

On the afternoon of the 23rd, Zhihua saw her father-in-law, and she hurriedly walked up and asked, "Dad, where have you been these days?"

Master Qi replied: Okay.

Saying: The flower walked into the kitchen.

Hearing the voice of the master, Zhihua's mother-in-law not only walked out, but shouted: "Old man, where have you been these days?" She also lied to me and said: Go to your daughter's house for two days, do you deliberately avoid us, tell me quickly!

Why should I avoid you, you have to let me take a breath!

"Dad" Ye Ye's daughter (Xiao Ju) shouted: Xiao Ju stood at the door, she held her long skirt in both hands, and walked out.

Ye Ye looked at it and was very surprised! He said, "Xiaoju, when are you here?"

Xiao Ju replied: I've been here for two days, your body has been healthy lately, and I heard my mother say: You went to our house, and I sighed: Maybe we are empty.

But seeing you today, you don't seem to have been to our house.

The mother-in-law of the flower shouted: It will take two or three days to arrive at her daughter's house.

"Let's eat!" shouted, and everyone went into the back room one after another.

Zhihua picked up the bowl and served the rice to the master first.

Master Qi said: I'm in trouble.

Hanamichi: See the outside.

Zhihua turned around and went to serve food to her mother-in-law, who stood up, waved her hand, and said, "I'll come by myself, I'll come by myself."

Zhihua replied: Mother-in-law doesn't have to be polite, we are a family, it's just a little thing, why should mother-in-law be serious!

The mother-in-law replied: Your brother and they went early, and now, the family is supported by you, and it is too bitter for your flowers.

The flower said: No! Mother-in-law doesn't have to say that, she doesn't have to think about those unhappy things all the time.

The flower snatched the rice bowl from Xiao Ju's hand.

Xiao Ju said: Sister-in-law, I can't help it, I can't help it, I'll come by myself.

The flower shouted: You are a guest, you should.

Xiao Ju didn't follow it, and said: What kind of system is this, you are my sister-in-law, I should have helped you Sheng! If you Sheng for me! You are not slapping me in the face?

Zhihua said: Xiaoju is a bit exaggerated, you are too exaggerated, just a bowl of rice, we don't have so much attention, we don't need to have too much politeness between us, come, let me come.

Xiao Ju not only sighed: Big brother is really blessed.

After the meal, Ye Ye stood up and said: A few days ago, I went to Aiju's house, Aiju's house was in tatters, her home was only broken bricks and rotten tiles, and she looked at them hungry.

Zhihua said: Marry Qianqian, how can I rest assured.

After all, Qianqian's parents are no longer there.

Although, over the years, she has followed her uncle, and Zhihua has never treated him badly.

Even, it is regarded as one's own.

I know.

It's just that marriage is not child's play.

It's about: Qianqian's life.

Hanamichi: Yes, my father is reasonable, sincere, and does not violate reality at all.

However, Aiju's character, Aiju's sincerity to people, and her sons.

Dad, do you know?

The master swallowed and said, "This ······ !

Zhihua smiled: Family background doesn't mean anything! People are good, and the water is sweet, what do you say!

Xiao Ju shouted: Which one are you singing?

The mother-in-law of the flower said: Ju'er, I'll talk to you later.

The next day, it was raining lightly.

Zhihua thought in the room: Aiju's family is indeed a little cold, and her niece is married, so she can't be too casual! At least she must arrange and decorate the new house, and she should have the proper etiquette, but she can't, and she will let her niece suffer too much.

"Zhihua, what are you thinking?" Xiao Ju shouted: Zhihua looked up, and Xiao Ju walked in with her mother-in-law in front of her.

Zhihua hurriedly got up, sat down with her mother-in-law in her arms, and said: I'm worried about Qianqian's business?

The mother-in-law said, "You don't have to worry!

The flower replied: Yes, mother, I bothered you.

The mother-in-law replied: I don't have anything! On the contrary, you have a sad face, you should take care of yourself!

I am going to go to Aiju's house first, and after exploring the truth and reality, I will make a decision myself!

Mother-in-law said: Zhihua, you can go at ease, we believe in you! You will definitely do your best!

Seeing the gift, the flower smiled and said: My mother is really broad-hearted, and she is too lifting.

"Okay, the flower is precious to itself!

Xiao Ju got up and helped her mother to walk out of the room.

At noon on the 27th, Zhihua rushed to the house of the rich man Feng.

Ping Bo stood at the door, and when he saw the arrival of the flower, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The flower, you are here, I will inform the old lady."

The flower said: No need, I'll come to her again in a while!

"Then are you the man who came to you?" Pingbo laughed:

The flower replied: Where did you think of it, but now, excuse me! Help me inform Aiju.

"Okay". Pinber turned and walked away.

For a moment, Aiju came panting.

Pingber followed.

Hanamichi: Aiju, let's go to your house and sit down!

Aiju said, "Okay, but at this moment, I still have to be busy."

Pingbo Dao: The flower, you go, you go, here I am!

Zhihua argued: How can this be! In case, the masters blame it, won't it affect you?

Ping Bo replied: Aiju rest assured, I am also obligated to the relationship between me and Zhihua! I have worked with Zhihua for so long.

Besides, the relationship between the flower and the old lady?

Aiju doesn't have to worry.

Aiju thanked: Thank you!

Zhihua took hands and walked home with Aiju.

The two of them walked to the door of Aiju's house, and Zhihua looked at it, Aiju's door was locked by an old lock, and Aiju said: Several children went to work outside, and they may not come back later.

Aiju pulled the lock, opened the door, and said: "Flowers, please in the house!"

Zhihua stepped into the house, Aiju hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I'm sorry! The house is a mess, and I haven't had time to clean it up, which makes you laugh."

The flower said, "It's okay, there are a few children!"

Aiju smiled and said: Zhihua, you came to my house today, is there any happy event!

Hanamichi: Aiju really knows how to guess, one guess is accurate, I came today, not to find you to catch up with the old place.

Aiju replied: It's just talking, and reminiscing is also welcome!

The flower said: Seriously, didn't I say last time: Say a kiss to the stone!

Aiju said: What's wrong!

Zhihua replied: Something, Aiju is a little confused!

"Mom" Stone They walked into the house, and when they saw the flower, they shouted one after another: Hello Aunt Zhihua!

The flower smiled: Come, come, come, come and sit down and listen to me!

Zhihua asked: On the day of the 20th, did an old man come to your house and ask you for food!

Aiju replied very calmly: Yes!

The flower said: He is my father-in-law, my niece's grandfather.

Aiju looked blank and said: He can come openly! Why should he ······ ?

The flower replied: He is not worried about his granddaughter, and he wants to see it himself, and he is hiding it from all of us, including his son.

Aiju said: He looked at our family, this poor and sour look, did he not agree!

The flower said: Yes and no!

To be exact: not before, now he has agreed.

Hanamichi: What before! What after! I don't understand.

Zhihua replied: Those are no longer important, the important thing is: now, you hurry up and prepare a new house, ready to marry Qianqian.

But your economy?

Aiju said: It's okay, I have 50 silver bald heads.

But I just don't know!

Hanamichi: That's enough, that's enough, we don't need any dowry from you.

I just ask you to treat Qianqian sincerely.

In the afternoon, Aiju and the flower returned to the Feng Mansion.

When Ping Bo saw the flower, he said, "The flower, the old lady is waiting in the hall."

The flower listened, and hurriedly ran to the hall, the flower stepped into the hall, there were many people standing in the hall, the old lady had already opened the formation, and the flower saluted everyone!

The old lady was full of joy when she saw the flower, and said: "The flower, listen to Pingbo: You have already arrived in the morning, why did you come now, do you dislike the old body and are already old and dizzy, and it is no longer what it used to be.

Zhihua replied: "Old lady, what are you talking about? I have no reason to dislike it! I can't even think of it, it's just that I'm in a bit of a hurry, and I have to deal with it first.

"Hello old lady! Hello masters!" Uncle Gang walked in.

The old lady said: Good! good!

The flower pulled Xiang Gong and retreated to the side.

The old lady asked, "What is the matter with the flower?" that can make you so uneasy.

Hanamichi: What happened last time! I'm ashamed of Aiju, and I can't let go of it for a long time!

The old lady replied: "The flower is kindness, this matter has not caused her any loss, you are too compassionate."

The flower said: But the shadow that can be caused in Aiju's heart!

Besides, I am grateful for Aiju's sincerity.

The eldest lady said: Then it won't let you jump over in such a hurry!

Zhihua replied: The eldest lady is right, so, I plan to marry my niece to Aiju's son, I just went to discuss this matter!

The third lady said: Okay, good thing! Aiju is indeed industrious, simple, and ingenious, and I believe that as her son, she will not be far behind.

The old lady said: In this case, why not move the wedding banquet into our house, so that everyone can also be lively!

Zhihua replied: I can't do it, I can't help it, so why don't you let the old lady break the bank?

The old lady shouted: That's it, you go and talk to Aiju!

When the second lady heard this, she was furious.

The next morning, the flower took Aiju back home, and walked to the door of Aiju's house, Aiju's door was still the same, tightly locked by an old lock, and the children were no longer at home, Aiju opened the door and beckoned the flower to sit down.

Zhihua said: I will go straight to the point today and say that the old lady has pointed out that she will go to their house to hold a wedding banquet.

Zhihua asked: What do you think, Aiju handed over a cup of tea, and said: What can I think, this is very good! This saves us a lot of money, and also helps us improve the quality! I don't even dare to think about it.

Thanks to you.

Zhihua took a sip of tea and said, "In that case, let's choose a good day and settle this matter."

Aiju hesitated for a while and said: Let's not choose the day, let the old lady decide!

Hanamichi: It's better to be cautious about Aiju!

At noon, Zhihua walked to the old lady's room.

The old lady's maidservant (Ah Feng), Ah Feng saw the flower coming over, not only stepped forward to greet him: "The flower, you are here, the old lady is resting, let me go in and report."

The flower stopped and replied, "Okay."

The old lady heard a voice outside, and called out again and again: Who?

Ah Feng replied: Yes, the flower.

The old lady replied: "Call her in."

The flower walked into the room and said, "Old lady, be well!"

The old lady said: "Flowers, don't be polite, come and sit!"

Zhihua got up, walked to the old lady's side, and said, "Old lady, yesterday's incident!" I have already explained it to Aiju! She said: I beg the old lady to choose a date and settle this matter.

The old lady was very pleased, and said, "All right, let me think about it, it will take at least two days to get to your house, and I think it will be set on the seventh day of the next month."

On that day, it was the Tanabata Festival.

The flower thanks: Thank you!

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, the sun was still shining.

Rich Feng's house was silenced in an uproar early.

Everyone scrambled to decorate the hall, and the third lady pulled Aiju and went to Aiju's house in person to arrange the new house for the stone, and after some hard work, the new house of the stone was ready.

Shi handed over a cup of tea and said, "Third lady, you are tired."

The third lady took the tea, shook her head, and replied: No, she not only pulled over a stool to "sit down".

The third lady said: Aiju, congratulations!

Aiju replied: How can I get to where I am today, thanks to the care of the third lady.

The third lady said: Aiju doesn't have to be humble! I said: It is your kindness that brings you good luck, and it is your kindness that touches everyone!

Aiju smiled and said, "Am I kind?" I don't think I think at all, I just know!

The third lady replied: It is your duty, let us admire! Let us respect! Oh! Stone, I wish you an early birth of a noble son, I wish you a husband and wife to love each other, and I wish you eternal love.

Shi continued: Thank you! Thank you, Third Lady!

The third lady called: My stomach hurts a little.

Aiju stepped forward and shouted, "Do you want to call a doctor?"

The third lady shouted: No, help me back, and it will be fine to rest.

At noon on the 7th, firecrackers rang out in the house of the rich man Feng, and the gongs and drums were noisy, which shocked the four towns and eight miles, and the Feng Mansion was in a disturbance.

The stone led the bride into the hall, bowed to the elders, performed the proper number of rituals, and was ready to lead the bride into the new house, when they turned to leave.

Exactly: they were going to pass in front of the second lady.

When they passed in front of the second lady, the second lady cried out "hey", and the stone almost tripped and fell to the ground.

The second lady yelled: Why did you step on my foot?

The stone replied, "No, I didn't step on your foot."

But it was obvious that you stepped on my feet, and the second lady shouted:

Shi glanced at it, looked at the second lady's foot, there was a faint footprint, Shi Shi inconvenient to refute, and replied: This is ······ I'm sorry!

The second lady scolded: Blind your dog's eyes.

The third lady stood up and said, "Second sister, forget it! Today is an auspicious day for stones, don't worry about it!"

The second lady scolded loudly, don't you always rush at good people, don't you want to mix yin and yang? Shi, a dog, has to come to our house to marry a daughter-in-law, and it is really unlucky!

The old lady shouted: "Second child, you said this! You have said a little too much! You pay attention to my words!

"Yo" The third lady covered her stomach, and the rich man Feng hurriedly helped the third lady and walked into the back room.

Slowly, the crowd gradually dispersed.
