Chapter 12: Gan's Eleventh Birthday (I)

Coincidentally, the Gan butcher is also thinking about this, although the Gan family has added Ding one after another this year, but the atmosphere is really not good, and it is finally the end of the year, it is better to take advantage of the granddaughter's first birthday to make a big deal and go to bad luck.

The Gan family is such a granddaughter, who was wronged first, but now she is relieved but refuses to let her be wronged again.

Liu Sanniang took the gold and gave Gan Xiaotang a set of longevity locks, a gold collar, and a pair of solid gold bracelets and gold anklets, "These should add up to almost the same as that house." "The difference between the Gan family and other families is that after the two sons of the Gan family got married, the Gan butcher divided the family property into three, one for him and Liu Sanniang, and one for each of the two sons. After that, part of the money earned was handed over to Liu Sanniang, who took care of their food, drink and clothing, and the rest of the money was at their disposal.

The two sons are not a way to make money, and the two daughters-in-law have different family backgrounds, forcibly equalizing the wealth and poverty, which can only make their brothers have a gap, it is better to have their own lives, and the family eats and wears Gan Butcher also subsidizes them, eats in a pot, and then each has a little private room, and wants to open a small stove at will, everyone is happy.

If you want the brothers in the family to be harmonious, the parents want a bowl of water, especially after having a daughter-in-law, you can't let the daughter-in-law mutter behind her back, Liu Sanniang knows it in her heart, and she gave a small house to the second son to place the outer room, and now she has to have pure gold jewelry for the eldest granddaughter's birthday.

"It's okay, in previous years, I always wanted to invite a troupe to be lively during the New Year's Festival, but we have few relatives, so I specially called the troupe for my own viewing for fear of being called frivolous. A good day for eleven lives, you can call a play every year in the future at this time to watch. Liu Sanniang said with a smile.

People love to play and listen to a song and tell a book, but any restaurant inn that is a little neater will hire a storyteller or pipa girl, and this family also likes to call a troupe lively and lively when there is a happy event. Needless to say, if there is not enough space for a small family, they will find an open space in the middle of the house and sing three times a day.

In the middle of the day, early in the morning, Gan Xiaotang was hugged into the main room by the red dressed, Liu Sanniang put the newly beaten collar on her, Gan Xiaotang stupidly touched it with his hands, is it real gold?

And a little drop in the neck, is this weight reasonable?

Tang Qian'er also gave a pair of gold rings to Gan Xiaotang, but he couldn't wear them on his hands, so he wore them with a red rope and hung them on his body.

Gan Xiaotang calmed down, affirming that the world's gold production is sufficient, stable, think about the Chaoshan bride, small scene, don't panic.

When the guests arrived, they had to arrange to catch the week, which was a piece of cake for pseudo-children, Gan Xiaotang first grabbed the books, then grabbed the seal, looked up and waited for everyone to praise her, everyone praised her for being smart and knowledgeable, and said that the seal in her hand would have a destiny in the future, and then a circle of people looked at Gan Xiaotang with a blank eye.

Gan Xiaotang was a little hesitant, did she want to pick up all the things on it, would it be too greedy, she looked at it, the needlework was wrapped in red silk cloth, it was big and eye-catching, Gan Xiaotang knew it, and ran over to hold the needle and thread in her arms.

Now everyone's praise is more sincere, saying that Gan Xiaotang is ingenious and must be the good woman everyone wants.

Gan Xiaotang's birthday fun was instantly diluted, thinking that when children caught Zhou, regardless of men and women, they would make a fortune if they caught pink banknotes, and if they caught a book, they would be a cultural person after they could read, and if they caught a seal, it would be amazing, and they would be big officials in the future. Now that she catches the book, she may have to be illiterate, and if she catches the seal, she will either rely on her husband or son, and only catching the needle and thread is her real life.

Gan Xiaotang sighed, can she still see the day when society progresses and men and women are equal?

Others don't care about Gan Xiaotang's worries, saying that it is her birthday, and letting her stay on the side without making noise is help, and the adults are lively exchanging gossip and parenting scriptures, and the more they talk, the hotter they are, and the hall is full of celebrations.

Although the Gan butcher's family is an outsider, and there are no clan elders, but since living in Ruyifang, they are anxious for justice and righteousness, and they are not stingy with money, plus the family and people are upright, not bullying, the neighbors are also happy to interact with them, and the family comes to the door to eat, the men drink, the women chat, the front of the stage is fenced with thick felt cloth, and the charcoal basin is burned, even the open air is not too cold. The children ran around, Gan Wenli secretly turned over the guns he bought at home, and led a group of children to run away, shouting happily.

Only the Bai family and her in-laws, the Zhang family, were not in this lively ranks.

The lady of the Zhang family listened to the lively sound outside in the morning, and knocked and beat at home, and after the grandson woke up, she said that she was going to go to the play, and she was so murdered, and scolded her daughter-in-law together, "Look at it, look at the ghost, is that for you?" No one has invited you, so it's not a shame for you to go up and join in the fun. ”

The daughter-in-law was not afraid, so she replied with a stiff neck, "The play is outside, and you don't enter his house, why can't you see it?" ”

"You don't need this day to watch? You are not allowed to go. Zhang Niangzi scolded, the daughter she gave birth to married to the son of the Bai family, married to the two daughters who were only born in the past ten years, life would not be easy, if the Bai family saw them go to join the excitement of the Gan family, they didn't know how to grind her daughter.

When I returned to the room, I faced my husband again, "At the beginning, I said that the Gan family is good, you don't say that the family is thin, and you want to marry the Bai family, now it's okay, the Gan family is getting richer and richer, the Bai family, don't say it, I want to know that their family is such a good tutor, even if I die, I won't let my daughter marry into that wolf's den." ”

"Now that this is very important, in the end, it is also Xiuniang who is not angry." The head of the Zhang family said that he also regretted it in his heart, but is it useful to regret it? When her granddaughter meets such an aunt, where will she have a good family to say in the future, she will have to go to a distant place to say goodbye.

"The Bai family also said that we should pay the concubine to give birth to a son for Xiuniang." Zhang Niangzi said, "This money is not unaffordable, but I just feel uncomfortable in my heart, but as long as his family can be better to Xiuniang, I am willing to pay this money." Besides, how can his family be as tight as he said, he made a few dollars and spent it on women's bellies, and he couldn't give birth to a son to blame Xiuniang, and he didn't see him give birth to a son outside, which can be seen to be his own reason, born without virtue, and deserved to have no children. ”

"The family is so eager to let Bai Yuniang climb to the Gan family, not for Gan Er's money."

"Look at it again, it's really not good, the money has to be paid." The head of the Zhang family said.
