Chapter 38 The New Year is auspicious
The matter of the separation of the Shan family requires the Wang family to come forward, but they don't want the Du family to get involved.
In this regard, Shan Tao came up with a way to pretend to be poor.
When they were eating peanuts on the fire in the back room, the two uncles and grandmothers remembered the events of the year when they saw the mountain peaches, and they didn't think that the little doll could understand much, so they poured out the Du family's idea.
To say that it sounds good, the Du family's in-laws are all over the country, and what is unpleasant is to sell their daughter as goods.
Nowadays, the Du family's family is piled up with a dowry for marrying a daughter, and generally a girl is selected in a lifetime to stay at home, and it is difficult to be willing to be a son-in-law, but the daughter of the Du family owns all the belongings of the Du family.
Du Cuizhu's man is a disabled person with no ability, and Du Cuizhu is also like previous generations, only picking a rich in-law for his daughter, regardless of her husband's character.
The husband of her three daughters now, the poorest is the Erlang of the Shan family, the eldest married a rich businessman in the county as a concubine, and the third married an old landlord with a wealthy family in another village as a continuation.
After eating a stomach of melons, Shan Tao's eyes lit up after hearing Du Cuizhu's self-reported identity, and he stepped forward and grabbed the corner of Du Cuizhu's clothes, "You are my grandma?" Can you borrow money from my family? ”
"Borrow money, borrow what?" As soon as Du Cuizhu heard about borrowing silver, his eyebrows furrowed, and he glanced at the New Year's gift on the ground, "Didn't your father bring so many things to the Wang family, and there is still a shortage of silver flowers?" ”
"Grandma, you don't know, my father owes twenty taels of silver in gambling debts, and he hasn't been beaten up yet." Shan Tao's little face drooped, and she shrugged the tip of her nose pitifully, "My mother accidentally knocked on her head, and this time I went to the county to see the doctor." Grandma, you can help our family. ”
Although the Du family and the Wang family have in-laws with the Shan family in Qingshan Village, they have a bad relationship and have little contact, and they don't know the recent details.
The father and daughter have cooperated with each other several times, and Shan Erlang reacted quickly, stepped forward and pulled Shan Tao back and smiled at Du Shi, "Mother-in-law, don't blame, the doll is not sensible and says everything, you can rest assured, Qiu Niang's injuries are all healed, she is still taking medicine, and there is no big problem." ”
Whether it is a successful or a street gangster, men care about that little bit of face, and Yamajiro is so vague, but it makes this matter a little more serious.
Du Cuizhu's afterglow swept and swept in those years' gifts, and his heart suddenly sudden, mentioning so many gifts to borrow silver, can it be a small amount?
"Qiu Niang is the meat that fell out of my pregnancy in October, when I married you, I was a low marriage, if you don't take care of it carefully, I will go back and settle accounts with you!" Du Cuizhu changed her kind attitude just now, sprayed Shan Erlang with a stinky face, turned her head and scolded and left, her steps were fast for fear that Shan Tao would pull her for silver again.
Seeing his mother-in-law who disappeared from sight, the corners of Yamajiro's mouth just curled, and before he could touch Shan Tao, he was swept on the butt by his uncle and grandfather with a broom.
"Eh! Uncle, what are you doing here? ”
"What? Good you kid, you didn't miss your mother back then, just when you were young and ignorant, now that you have a family and a baby, you dare to gamble! ”
A broken broom was waved by the eldest uncle like a divine weapon, but he also avoided the vital point, and only pumped it to the thick place of Yamajiro's flesh, and the significance of education was greater than punishment.
Shan Tao felt sorry for her father being beaten like this, and wanted to stop it, but was stopped by the second uncle and grandfather, the second uncle and grandfather touched her head and said with a low smile, "Beating is kissing and scolding is love, your uncle and grandfather are treating your father as an outsider." Tell your uncle and grandfather, what's going on in your family, you really lack money? ”
If it was the original owner Shan Erlang, he should have been smoked by his uncle like this, and he lost nine out of ten bets, and the word gambling hurt too many small families.
scared away the Du family, but Shan Tao didn't want the Wang family to misunderstand their intentions, so he explained clearly to the second uncle and grandfather in a few words, the gambling money is real, but there is cause and effect, and now it is not bad for money.
"Okay, okay, what does it look like on the first day of the new year?" The eldest uncle and grandmother couldn't sit still in the house, so they went out of the house to calm down the farce, and grabbed the uncle and grandfather who was holding the broom and panting, "Take the doll and sit down, it's time to eat." ”
There is a custom in the countryside for the New Year, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve is the most sumptuous, according to the amount of several days to do, the first few days of the year are eaten are the leftovers of Chinese New Year's Eve, meaning that there is more than every year.
This is also the first leftover meal after Chinese New Year's Eve, so the dishes are mostly complete and rich.
The father and daughter's first Chinese New Year's Eve was not at home because Du Yingqiu was not at home, and the matter of separating the family was simply dealt with, which was far less rich than the big table in front of them now.
"Siya eats fish, this fish is made by your second uncle and grandmother, eat more fish and have bright eyes." The eldest uncle and grandmother desperately put vegetables on the table, no matter whether the meat and vegetables are in her mouth, she can have a good name.
Shan Tao held his fast-rising bowl and didn't dare to move, and obediently thanked him and then took a small bite of rice, looking like Sven.
The eldest uncle and grandfather and the second uncle didn't move their chopsticks much, just staring at Yamajiro.
Originally, Yamajiro was only half of the stool because he was pumped half of his buttocks, and now he is even more restless, "Two uncles, that's the way things are, and now my nephew just wants to ask my uncle to come forward and be a witness to divide the family." ”
"Let your second uncle come forward in this matter." The eldest uncle and grandfather know his temperament very well, and he can't rub a little sand in his eyes, for fear that he will blow up when he sees Du's, so he doesn't bother to be angry, "He has a lot of ideas, you are right to listen to him in this matter." If you want to divide the family, you will score cleanly, and you can't have less of what you should have, and you can't take more of what you shouldn't have, so that there will be fewer incidents in the future. ”
After living for most of his life, the two uncles and grandfathers had the most dealings with pigs, although they didn't know a single big word, but their stomachs were full of experience and experience.
As soon as he heard that they answered, Yamajiro's heart was put in his stomach, and he thanked him again before taking the chopsticks to eat.
rested at Wang's house for one night, and the second uncle and grandfather rushed to Qingshan Village with the father and daughter of the Shan family early the next day.
Entering the mountain house, Shan Dalang heard the news, and hurriedly took his daughter-in-law and three and a half sons out to pick up people, looking at the second uncle who had not stepped into his house for many years, he was also a little excited, and kept saying hello to the New Year.
"It's all right, it's all right. Yo, all three pillars have grown so big? "The second uncle and grandfather have a good impression of the nephew of Shan Dalang, who has a stable temperament, and he is not unfamiliar, and he also hugged the three pillars and gave the three pillars New Year's money.
It is rare to get the New Year's money given by the elders, Sanzhu excitedly shared this joy with Shan Tao, and then found that the second uncle and grandfather gave Shan Tao half of the thickness than him.
Just thinking about how to coax Sanzhu, Shan Tao didn't expect that Sanzhu looked like a matter of course, "I heard my mother say that when I was born, my two uncles and grandfathers gave me a birthday gift, but you didn't." Now it's right to give Siya more money for the New Year. ”
Sanzhu, who followed Shan Erlang to study and learn calligraphy, when it was not about eating, the more he was polite, he counted out five texts from his New Year's money and gave it to Shan Tao, "This is the New Year's money that the third brother gave to the fourth girl." ”
"And the two of us." The big pillar and the second pillar also came to make fun, and they gave one or two more than the third pillar.
Erzhu pinched Shantao's pigtails and said with a smile: "It's all given, Siya's New Year must be full of blessings." ”
Holding his new little purse, Shan Tao pursed his lips and smiled, and gave the three brothers a New Year's greeting in a decent manner: "Thank you, brothers, Siya wishes my brothers a good New Year!" ”
