Chapter 4: Tang Qian'er Goes Home
In the middle of the afternoon, Gan Xiaotang finally knew why the family was jubilant, her second aunt came back, her face was covered with several layers of powder, she looked more complex, walking behind the second uncle, seeing Ah Weng and her mother-in-law about to kneel down to admit her mistake, Liu Sanniang stopped her, "You are heavy now, don't do this." β
"The daughter-in-law is not sensible, and the mother-in-law is tired of worrying, which is really unfilial." Tang Qian'er said with tears in her eyes.
"It's good to come back, don't talk about that." Liu Sanniang comforted her and said.
During the meal, Butcher Gan concluded this matter, "Bai Yuniang will buy her a house, and the deed will be placed in the second daughter-in-law." β
"Back then, a Taoist priest gave him a pot of wine, and he gave me twelve words, erudite and reasonable, virtuous, pure and comfortable. said that I should be a grandson's name, I only thought it was auspicious, how could I give birth to so much, thanks to the eldest daughter-in-law, the second daughter-in-law, who has given birth to children for the Gan family over the years, so that I and your mother can be born with such a big family. After a pause, the butcher said, "Eleven is a little lady, find someone else to give her a good name, the second daughter-in-law has this in her belly, if it is a boy, it is called Gan Zizai, and it is all these twelve words." β
Gan Er had no objection, and Tang Qian'er said that it was all up to Ah Weng to decide. Gan Xiaotang looked at it in the limited line of sight in the swaddling clothes, and this solved it? Second uncle, you were beaten by your father and couldn't get out of bed, second aunt, did you grit your teeth yesterday and have to leave?
The Gan family compound resumed its long-lost liveliness, Gan Da took care of several sons to wash and sleep, and only returned to the room after a busy job, Zou Xiaoxi hugged Gan Xiaotang and sang a lullaby, but unfortunately Gan Xiaotang stared at the copper bell-like eyes and didn't want to sleep at all.
"You're going to grind, you sleep during the day, and you don't want to sleep at night." Zou Xiaoxiao said.
"Give me a hug, you go and rest." Gan Dalang said.
"It's okay, I'll hold it." Zou Xiaoxi said, "You go to bed early, and you should wake up at four o'clock." β
Gan Dalang wiped his face and feet, and glanced at Zou Xiaoxi from time to time, wondering if she was angry, Zou Xiaoxi was amused, "Don't worry about it, I'm not such a stingy person." β
"If you want to say that you don't have a family, how much money you make is Ah Weng, then I might be a little uncomfortable now. But Ah Weng's mother-in-law is reasonable, after the second uncle gets married, we will divide the property and not divide the family, and now as long as the second uncle can restore the original state with Qian Er and live a good life, how much Ah Weng gives is Ah Weng's business. β
"Good daughter-in-law." Gan Dalang said happily, "This matter is that the second brother is sorry for people, Ah Weng is generous, and his in-laws are also good-looking." β
The house for Bai Yuniang is the money from the butcher, and the deed is given to Tang Qian'er, which is a kind of compensation and a statement, the deed is given to you, the assets are yours, Bai Yuniang's mother and daughter are just temporarily staying, you are the eldest woman, and the outer room is in your hands.
"Our little eleven is really a lucky star." Zou Xiaoxi said to Gan Da with a smile, "Bai Yuniang came to the door and said that the one in her arms was brought by Eleven, which made me angry, you said that if Qian Er didn't have it, it would be inevitable that she would not take her words to heart for a long time, and she would not like Eleven." β
"Okay now, this is the younger brother and sister brought by Eleven in the belly of the second aunt, let's count Eleven."
"Our children are all single words, why is the one in her belly called double words before she is born." Gan was puzzled. "Maybe you can still give birth?"
"Who gave birth?" Zou Xiaoxi looked at him with hanging eyes, "We are all at this age, and we can only go outside to find a life?" Do you also want to learn from your second uncle and take a concubine? β
Gan Dalian said that he didn't dare, "In a few years, Dalang should say kiss, think about Eleven is not old, and he has to bring his grandson." β
"So Ah Weng's meaning is obvious, the Taoist priest gave him twelve words back then, and his grandson used up these twelve words, and he didn't recognize that he wanted to have another grandson outside." Zou Xiaoxi understood it, "Giving the deed is the last grade, and Ah Weng's words are the reassurance for Qian'er." β
Gan Da was a little unimpressed, if he really wanted to give birth to a grandson, Ah Weng looked at the child very seriously, Zou Xiaoxi knew that he didn't believe it when he looked at him. "It's a shame that you're still a son, and you don't understand Ah Weng's heart at all."
"Ah Weng doesn't have a father, so he looks at the family, but because of this, he hates others the most and says that he has no one to teach him to be unruly, if Bai Yuniang wants to be a concubine, Ah Weng won't be angry, but she hooked up with the second uncle before her husband died, and she gave birth to a child in vain, and committed a taboo, Ah Weng will never let her enter the door, nor will she recognize the child she gave birth to." It has to be a coincidence, otherwise Ah Weng, who wants to think of his granddaughter and wants to go crazy, may not be able to give up the granddaughter outside so happily. After all, granddaughters don't have to divide the family property, and it's not a big deal to have fun under your knees.
It turned out that Tang Qian'er came back when she was pregnant again. Gan Xiaotang listened thoughtfully, she used to be very naΓ―ve, thinking that if she felt unhappy in her marriage, she should divorce, but she was taught by her mother that the bottom line of everyone's patience is different, and she should not use her own standards to judge other people's choices. It's very simple to touch two words on your lips, and life is still what people want to live.
Thinking of his mother, Gan Xiaotang's eyes were moist again, his flat mouth whimpered, and Zou Xiaoxiao patted her on the back. "This series of things has caused Shichiro to delay his school." Zou Xiaoxi said, "You have to keep the meat tomorrow for bunching, and then after selling the meat, send Qilang to the master's place to make a salute, and when you come back, you will buy him paper, ink and pen, and go to the private school after the Lantern Festival." β
"Okay, keep a piece of front leg meat, and a pair of pork kidneys, I see that the lady of the master's family often comes to buy this." Gan Dalang said. "You don't have to sell too much pen and ink, Shichiro is still young, and he won't teach writing for the first year, he will only practice hanging pens."
"Just go to the pen room where the master frequents, they know what to buy, Shichiro may want something for himself, and you buy it for him."
"Qilang in the family wants to go to school before he is old, can our family really produce a Wenqu star?" Gan Da said longingly.
"If you don't think about that, if the children are willing to study, they will be provided, and if they are not willing to study, they must be taught a trade, so that they will not starve to death in the future." Zou Xiaoxiao said.
Then the two of them began to calculate the family's money, there are too many children in the family, if you don't take precautions, you will be stretched, fortunately, Zou Xiaoxi is a successful one, from the beginning of the money to divide the money into dead money and living money, living money in case you don't need it, the dead money will buy an industry, and you have saved a lot over time, and when it comes to Gan Shiyi, the dowry has to be prepared from an early age, just such a girl, you must buy it well.
Gan Xiaotang, who has always been the easiest to fall asleep in math class, fell asleep unconsciously in such a sound of addition and subtraction, and thought before going to bed, okay, in this life, her parents are loving, she has no worries about food and clothing, God is not thin, she should be content.
