Chapter 13: Gan's Eleventh Birthday (Part II)
Gan Xiaotang was talked about by the neighborhood while celebrating his first birthday, from the small famous troupe invited, the flowing water, the banquet, and even the guns that the Gan family boys took out in exchange for are all visible money, a good deal, a granddaughter's first birthday at least took half a year for ordinary people to chew. The people living in this neighborhood are almost inseparable, and it is worry-free to eat and wear a lot of noodles, but in case, it is usually necessary to save. On weekdays, I only knew that Gan Tuhu's family should have some family background, but I didn't expect that I would have such confidence unconsciously.
Gee.
No wonder the daughter of the Bai family is holding Gan Er, she knew that there was today, why bother to marry her daughter to Xiucai because she was poor and loved the rich, but Xiucai was short-lived or Xiucai, the Gan family was not the original Gan family for a long time, and the Bai family was a good lady who didn't do it, but wanted to be an outer room.
Bai Yuniang heard the excitement of the Gan family, hugged her daughter and cried a lot, her daughter's birthday a few days ago was deserted, if her daughter was in the Gan family, even if it was not as lively as Eleven, at least she had to buy a few tables, not to mention, her grandmother's set of long-lived locks was indispensable, but now there is nothing.
"Cry cry cry, cry what to cry about? You still don't think about how to coax Gan Er well, do you really want to live in this small room for the rest of your life? Zhao Siniang said. She ate the snacks in front of the table, Gan and the others didn't come much, but the money was enough, and she had hired a mother-in-law to take care of their mother and daughter. was moved by Zhao Siniang's words, let her take care of Bai Yuniang, and the money also belonged to her, and she happened to go to her daughter to hide and relax, sweet mouth.
"What can I do?" Bai Yuniang cried, "Since I was born over there, Erlang has never come here, and I can't even see each other." ”
"Was it wrong in the first place? It should be the first to go to the Gan family, and then conceive a child, it is better than now, even the child can't enter the door. ”
"That tigress in her family, let her know first, can you still have this child?" Zhao Siniang said, "The Gan family has many sons, and the daughter is Jin Gui, look at the one born by his sister-in-law, Liu Sanniang has never played a gold bracelet herself, and she has given her granddaughter a complete set of collars, which are full of gold and two, and there is no copper at all." ”
"You gave birth to Hui Niang, and then you take Gan Er and give birth to a son, and you will be safe in this life." Zhao Siniang said, "Your father is a bad one, he just thinks that you should be a lifting lady, but the son-in-law he chose is a ghost who died early, and he didn't get admitted to a lifting person until he died, and he didn't interact with us much on weekdays. ”
"Mother."
"Okay, okay, I won't say." Zhao Siniang said, "My mother won't hurt you after all, if you hadn't listened to your mother's words and went to Gan Er, you wouldn't know where to be sold by your mother-in-law, this widow who lost her son, is ruthless." ”
"My husband is with Gan Er before he dies, and Uncle Gan probably won't let me in." They are all neighbors, and everyone's temperament probably knows that Bai Yuniang was really panicked at that time, and was coaxed by her mother, compared to being sold by her mother-in-law somewhere, catching Gan Er can at least stay in a familiar place. When she was pregnant with a child, she also wanted to tell Gan Er for the first time, she was excited, she had been married to Xiucai for so many years, she thought she couldn't give birth. As a result, her mother didn't let her say, saying that it was safest to say after she was born, she secretly hid at home to get pregnant and give birth, and although she had some regrets about giving birth to a daughter, she thought that there was no girl in the Gan family, and this girl was expensive. Unexpectedly, Gan's second sister-in-law immediately gave birth to a granddaughter, and Gan's butcher did not allow their mother and daughter to enter the door, and now they are kept in this place, and they dare not go out every day, like a stolen thing that cannot be seen.
She pondered day and night, and felt that she had done something wrong, and Gan Er still had affection for her, so she shouldn't be so hasty.
"If he doesn't agree, he will always die, and when he dies, the two brothers will split up, and you will go in again and be your restaurant lady." Zhao Siniang said, "Your color is better than his, boil slowly, in short, she is holding her breath." ”
"It's actually nothing if you can't enter the door of the Gan family, you can be a woman of the Gan family, so many people are waiting for three women to serve, from morning to night when there is no rest, you are now living in a small house with a single family, isn't it more comfortable than them?"
The sun goes down, the guests gradually disperse, Liu Sanniang stands on the edge of the kitchen, there are still a lot of dishes left in the noon banquet, all cleaned up and wrapped in oiled paper, the guests take it away when they leave, go back to the hot and hot is another dish, and then there is not finished to send it to the cellar to freeze, and wait until the New Year to eat slowly. When the Gan butcher saw it, he said don't freeze, and when he waits until the New Year, he will have New Year's dishes to eat, today is the eleventh birthday, it is a good day, give it to the beggars on the street, so that they can also touch the light of the eleventh.
When Sister Chun was about to sweep the yard with a broom, Bai Da kicked the door open and came up, "Gan Er, come out!" Your Erlang threw firecrackers into my yard, startling people and chickens, I, an old hen that lays eggs, is so scared that I can't lay eggs, what do you say? How to pay? ”
Gan Xiaotang was about to fall asleep, but she was frightened by this voice, Zou Xiaoxi hurriedly came over and hugged her, "Don't be afraid, wild dogs fight." ”
Tang Qian'er was busy and didn't have time, Gan Er hugged Gan Twelve to play, Tang Qian'er saw that their father and son were happy, and it was rare to show a three-point smile, when he heard the call in the courtyard, he shook the handkerchief in his hand, and hugged Gan Twelve with a heavy face, and said to Gan Er harshly, "Don't go quickly, your wild brother-in-law is looking for you." ”
"What brother-in-law, don't talk nonsense." Gan Er said weakly.
He came out to deal with it, but before he got closer, he smelled a smell of alcohol, and he stopped moving forward in disgust, "It's not dark yet, why are you going to someone else's house to get drunk?" ”
"I'm drunk?" Bai Da pointed at his nose and scolded, "You come with me to see, what happened to my chickens being scared by your son?" ”
Gan Er shook off his hand, "There are a lot of children on this street who set off guns, why do you think that it was my Erlang who fired it?" ”
"Aren't all the cannons on the street coming out of your house today, the Gan family is so generous, and a large number of the cannons are scattered out, if it weren't for the command of your second child, they would have thrown cannons at my house for a day." Bai Da said, he was out drinking today, drank until just now, as soon as he entered the door, he heard his two mourning star daughters crying in the house, his mother-in-law played a bowl of sugar water from the kitchen and came out, the second daughter-in-law leaned on the door and said in a weird manner, "Today's house is lively enough, my mother disappeared early in the morning, and went to my little sister to hide and relax, and the grandfathers are not at home, the firecrackers are amplified outside, and our family will light a small cannon fight, one by one, and the hens in this house are so scared that they don't lay eggs, and the sister-in-law still has the heart to make eggs for the two nieces to eat." ”
"There's still a bowl in the kitchen, if you want to eat it, take it away, and when Huiniang comes back, you don't want to eat it." Zhang Xiuniang said with a tired face. The child was playing in the yard, and was scared by the artillery battle thrown in the backyard, how to coax can't coax, just today the chicken is the mother went out to lay the eggs, to the child to eat and turn his head to say that the chicken did not lay eggs on the line.
The second daughter-in-law slipped into the kitchen, picked up the bowl and left, Bai Da didn't expect her daughter to cry because she was frightened by the cannonball, but as soon as she heard that the hens at home were so scared that she couldn't lay eggs, she spat hard, rolled up her sleeves and went to Gan's house to find it.
"Aren't you being foolish? The child is naughty and fires guns everywhere, you have to meet and catch a lesson, you have not touched anyone, run to someone's house to make trouble, is there no shame? ”
"How am I ashamed?" Bai scolded and said, "Gan Er, don't forget, my sister also gave birth to a daughter for you, your eldest brother's daughter is so old, you have your own daughter raised outside and don't ask, shabby, you ask yourself, are you such a father?" ”
"What are you talking about? Let's go. Gan Er said, "When my father comes out, you won't get good." ”
"If I don't leave, I'll scold, Gan Er, you are a wreck, your father asked you to go east, you don't dare to go west, you can't protect your own woman, what else do you say about my sister's love for my sister is like the sea, I bah." Bai scolded.
Tang Qian'er couldn't listen to the word love like the sea anymore, she put the child down, came out to take a look, snatched the broom in Sister Chun's hand and swept it out, the ash swept straight to Gan Er and Bai Da, the two of them hid the ashes and walked and retreated, out of the courtyard door, Tang Qian'er closed the door and locked it, "You just leave the house outside, don't come back." ”
"Woman, tigress." Bai Da was about to scold, but Gan Er kicked him and scared him and said, "Let's go, you scold again, and when she comes out with a knife." ”
Bai Da was still afraid, and left scolding.
