Chapter 37 The Great River Dushi
Dahe Village is named because the Cangjiang River runs through it, and the terrain is much flatter than Qingshan Village, which is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the land is contiguous, so it comes out of the rich peasants, and it is a famous big village in ten miles and eight townships.
The fame of the Wang family and the Du family in this village is neck and neck, the former because of the pig, and the latter because of the people.
Although pork is now cheap, it is indeed the most commonly bought meat in the countryside, and the Wang family, who has been a butcher for generations, is still quite wealthy, as long as it is in Dahe Village, there is no one who has not bought Wang pork.
As for the Du family, he is famous because he has many daughters, and almost all generations have relied on recruiting sons-in-law to continue the incense, and there is no male in this generation until now.
The mountain family in Qingshan Village first married the daughter of the Wang family, and then continued the daughter of the Du family, and then added a daughter-in-law of the Du family.
Even the relationship between the Du family and the Wang family was snubbed a lot, and when they heard that Erlang of the Shan family came to Dahe Village and went straight to the Wang family, the Du family couldn't sit still.
"Yo, Du family, what about buying these things? Busy entertaining your son-in-law, right? ”
The village neighbors saw Du Yingqiu's mother, who is also the younger sister of the Du family in Qingshan Village, and Du Cuizhu, the daughter of the Du family, who stayed at home to recruit money, asked with a smile.
Du Cuizhu came back from the entrance of the village, carrying the New Year's gift brought back by the eldest daughter who was married in the county, and the most valuable piece of cloth was specially exposed and half-pulled outside, waiting for someone to ask.
However, what the neighbor of the village asked was not what he thought, Du Cuizhu was stunned, "What son-in-law?" My aunts haven't come back today. ”
"You don't know it? As for the one your second daughter married, from Qingshan Village, carrying a lot of things, standing at the door of the king's house, it's been a long time. ”
The amount of information in this statement is really a bit large, if you want to talk about her four daughters, in addition to the youngest daughter who is still waiting for the boudoir, Du Cuizhu is most dissatisfied with the marriage of the second daughter.
Among the four daughters, she is the rarest is the second daughter, who is called a beautiful one, and the embroidery is the best among the sisters, so she wants to stay for two more years to pick a solid family, and she never wants to be pitted by her sister Du Shi, who married outside her home.
Du Cuizhu's face changed several times, and he stuffed the exposed cloth into the basket and hurried to the house.
Looking at Du Cuizhu's hurried appearance, the neighbor of the village who was still smiling just now spat at her back, "Sell your own daughter as goods, and be embarrassed to show off your body for money, phew, shameless old goods." ”
Du Cuizhu, who rushed to the Wang family to put things down, didn't hear this, and just bumped into the two uncles of the Wang family with a calm face.
Yamajiro was ordered by the two of them, and he said it to him, and he didn't count until he finished the anger he had received, and when he saw that people now understood the matter, he thought about letting people into the house first.
The eldest uncle and grandfather saw Du Cuizhu first, and the eyebrows that had just been flat were raised again, and he was in no hurry to leave, "Du family, this is the first day of the Lunar New Year, why didn't you count the filial piety given by your aunts at home?" ”
"Look at what you said, isn't my uncle right in front of you?" Du Cui Zhupi didn't smile, and looked at the unfinished New Year's gift of the mountain peach on the ground, which was much thicker than what her uncle in the county gave her.
"When did Erlang come, and he didn't come to the house first, why didn't Qiu Niang see it?"
Judging from Shan Erlang's memory, Du Cuizhu, the mother-in-law, has never been so kind to herself, and now she is just using herself to set up a stage and sing a diagonal show with the Wang family.
But the two uncles of the Wang family didn't say anything, so they looked at it coldly to see if this Shan Erlang had figured out what his mother's surname was.
Shan Tao, who was listening to the corner by the window, lit a wax to his father in his heart, so that the scene between the two sides, the mountain family and Du Shi sang once, but they didn't expect to sing it when they arrived in Dahe Village.
"Back to my mother-in-law, today the first day of the new year brought Siya to pay New Year's greetings to my uncles. Qiu Niang is not at home now, and when she comes back, she will bring her to pay New Year's greetings to her father-in-law and mother-in-law. ”
Shan Erlang's sudden words made Du Cuizhu uncomfortable, and he didn't react to Du Yingqiu's absence for a while, and the second room did not come to her to pay New Year's greetings in previous years, but focused on the previous sentence.
"You brought Siya to pay New Year's greetings to the Wang family?"
At this time, the eldest uncle and grandfather opened his mouth, with some raised eyebrows on his face, "Erlang is my sister's own son, and he took the baby to walk around his maternal uncle's relatives, shouldn't it?" ”
Du Cuizhu smiled slightly, Ruoshan Erlang is just her uncle, no matter what kind of relatives he leaves, but he is not only an uncle, but also the stepson of his sister.
Shan Erlang was young, and was raised by the Du family so that he didn't know how to give birth to grace and only remembered it, the Wang family was angry in Qingshan Village, and when he returned to Dahe Village, he didn't have a good face for the Du family, saying that the daughters taught by the Du family were born with biased hearts.
Of course Du Cuizhu refused to admit this, at that time, there was no bad relationship between Shan Erlang and Du Yingqiu, and Du Cuizhu, as Du's mother's family, naturally had to support her sister.
All the past, no matter what, the old feud between the Wang family and the Du family has been settled.
"If you talk about my maternal uncle's family, Erlang is my sister's stepson, and our Du family is also worthy of his maternal uncle's family, we can't favor one over the other, just look at your Wang family, right?"
Seeing that the situation began to develop in an unknown direction, Yamanjiro could only stand up and thin the mud.
"I should have walked around more with my relatives during the New Year, but because Qiu Niang has not returned home yet, it is not good to visit my mother-in-law's house rashly, and I will visit the New Year in two days."
In and out of the words, Shan Erlang called Du Cuizhu his mother-in-law, and said that he would go back to his daughter-in-law's house for the New Year, without mentioning Du at all.
Wang's uncle and grandfather were satisfied with it, and Du Cuizhu was also dissatisfied with it.
"Erlang, what you said is this, your relationship with Qiu Niang is a kiss. Even if it's not my aunt, you should do your filial piety for your mother, come to the Du family to have a look, right? ”
On one side is the brother of the mother-in-law, and on the other hand, the sister of the stepmother and the mother-in-law of the daughter-in-law, the identity of Yamajiro is destined not to slap one party's face.
But for Shantao, a little doll who is less than six years old, she doesn't have so many scruples.
Pushing open the door, Shan Tao ran to Shan Erlang in a few steps, hugged his legs, raised his head and said, "Dad, why don't you come in, Uncle and grandma gave Siya a lot of peanuts to eat, but they are delicious." ”
The four girls who suddenly broke into the stalemate were like fish flowing into stagnant water, reviving the situation.
Du Cuizhu was stunned when she saw the pink milk doll, and looked at her eyes that were exactly the same as Du Yingqiu's, and then she was sure, "This is ...... Qiu Niang's baby Siya? ”
Shan Tao glanced at Du Cuizhu, like all ignorant dolls at this age, she hid behind Shan Erlang with some fear, and poked her head out, "Dad, who is this grandma?" ”
Because he was not satisfied with Du Yingqiu's marriage, even though Qingshan Village and Dahe Village were not far apart, Du Cuizhu hadn't looked at Du Yingqiu for so many years, let alone Du Yingqiu's children.
Du Cuizhu, who was still talking about being close to Shan Erlang just now, was embarrassed as if he was slapped in the face, and the idea of seeing Shan Tao for the first time scattered in a hurry, and pulled the corners of his mouth.
"I'm your grandma."
