Old Man Tan asked about the marriage of Pei Yue and Tian Shao, and wanted to know when they would get married.

Tan Xingguo was also about to tell him about it: "The third child is going to wait for Tian Shao to go back to his hometown to ask for marriage after graduation, I have already told him to let Chu Rong go with him, which is also important to Tian Shao." ”

Old Man Tan nodded to the table and said, "The money in his hand has bought a house, and he can't use Tian Shao's money to get married, this is what I prepared for him." ”

He paid for the eldest to marry the second and fourth children, and the third child would be no exception. When the fifth child also gets married, his responsibilities will be completed.

Tan Xingguo was silent and said, "Dad, I mentioned this matter to the third child, but the third child said that he didn't want your money." And said that if you insist on giving, he will donate it in his mother's name? ”

Old Man Tan said with a straight face: "If you don't want my money, is it glorious to use Tian Shao's money?" This wants outsiders to know, and he must not be scolded for being a soft egg who eats his wife's meal? ”

Tan Xingguo didn't answer this.

Old Man Tan waved his hand and said, "You give him this money, saying that I will give you a sum of money when you three get married." As for whether the money is used for his own marriage or donated, it's up to him, I don't care. ”

"I calculated, the third child is estimated to be about 3,000 when he gets married."

Master Tan snorted and said, "It's exactly three thousand here."

After talking about this, Old Man Tan talked to him about work again.

Tan Xingguo has long been an elder, and there is no need to teach him anything at work, the old man mainly analyzes the current situation with him.

After talking for more than an hour, Tan Xingguo looked tired on his face: "Dad, go and rest!" ”

Old Man Tan said with emotion: "When people are old, they are useless." ”

I think that when I used to fight, I didn't sleep for three days and three nights, and I was full of energy. It's not like now, when you feel tired when you talk a little bit about something. But he is not afraid of death, and when he dies, he can go to see his former comrades-in-arms.

Bai Churong was folding clothes in the house, and when he saw him holding a document bag, he asked with a smile, "What did Dad give you?" ”

"Money."

Bai Churong was surprised: "Dad gave you money?" ”

Since the two got married, the old man has never given them money as husband and wife. But when they took the money back, the old man never took it, saying that he had no place to use the money. That's right, neither of them can eat the rice, noodles and other things sent below, the medical expenses are all reported, and his allowance is all saved.

Tan Xingguo knew that he had misunderstood when he looked at her, and explained: "It's not for me, it's for the third child to marry." This document bag is quite thick to the touch, and there are a lot of them. ”

Bai Churong poured out the money in the document bag and counted it, and found that there were three thousand yuan. With this money, she hesitated for a while before asking: "Xingguo, Dad's health was not bad ten years ago, can Aunt Qu really get him?" The more I thought about it, the more wrong it felt. ”

Tan Xingguo shook his head and said, "No matter what the reason, his decision back then was cruel to the third child. Now that the third child has relented and is willing to change back to the surname Tan, there is no need to dig into the past. ”

Even if there is suffering, the damage has been caused and cannot be remedied in one or two sentences, or even in this life. He also saw too thoroughly, so he didn't ask.

Bai Churong nodded and asked when he would go to Yongning County.

Pei Yue and Tian Shao didn't determine the time, and Tan Xingguo didn't know: "The third child wants to go back, and he will notify us in advance." I made an appointment with the third child, and the whole family will visit my mother on Sunday, and you will prepare your things. ”

A few years ago, it was said that feudal superstitions were broken, and even incense could not be lit on the grave. However, in the past two years, this old custom has been restored, and now when you go to the grave to worship, you will bring paper money, incense and candles. Tan Xingguo is a very traditional person, and he thinks that worshipping ancestors should be done according to customs.

Bai Churong understood, nodded and agreed.

The next afternoon, Pei Yue went to Tian Shao and told her about his intention to change back to Tan's surname: "I inquired about someone yesterday, and that person's name is Mu Liang, and he took his parents' surnames. He married four wives and gave birth to a total of twelve children, eight of whom survived. The eldest was forty-three years old and became a grandfather, and the youngest Mukang was sixteen years old and passed under the name of his uncle. If I change my surname back to Mu, Mu Liang may not think that I want to fight for property at that time! ”

Tian Shao is not superstitious, but when he heard this person's affairs, he couldn't help but burst out of a sentence: "Marry four wives, this is a wife?" ”

Pei Yue shook his head and said, "The first wife was on the way back to her hometown, and the carriage was out of control; The second wife died in childbirth; The third wife went out and met the riot, and it was gone. The fourth wife, twenty-six years younger than him, now lives with him. The second died in childbirth without leaving a child, the original spouse left a son and a daughter, and the third daughter-in-law left two sons and a daughter. ”

"Such a big family must be very lively."

Pei confirmed her guess, shook her head and said, "I was poor a few years ago, so it should be normal to have occasional noise. But Mu Kang succeeded to two sets of houses under the name of his uncle, and during this time, their family was like singing a big drama every day. ”

Before Tan Xinghua said two rooms, he thought that like the family building, it was two houses with a larger area. As a result, I found out that the two houses were actually two houses. Among them, the two-entry one is larger than the one in Sanyanjing Hutong, and the other set is smaller, but it also has a small courtyard.

Tian Shao was not surprised, and said: "The wealth is moving, now everyone's housing is so tight, Mu Kang has two houses of such a big house, and others must be unwilling." ”

Pei Yue snorted and said, "Mu Liang has decided to sell the big one and divide the money among the other seven small ones. The small one is for Mu Kang, and Mu Kang will be allowed to retire in the future. ”

This seems to be fair, but it actually buries hidden dangers, because this property belongs to Mu Kang, and Mu Liang is not qualified to distribute it like this. But this is the Mu family's business, and it has nothing to do with them.

When Tian Shao heard that they were going to sell the house, he immediately said, "Where is the house, let's buy it!" ”

Pei Yue told Tian Shao that the house was on the side of Sanwen Temple, but he didn't approve of buying this house. He was worried that the house would be bought and let Mu Liang and them know, and if it was worth it in the future, he would come to the door.

Tian Shao asked, "Do you think your grandfather will really donate all his property and leave only two mansions?" If it were me, I would definitely leave a sum of money to my children and grandchildren so that they could make a comeback in the future. ”

Pei Yue understood what she meant, he shook his head and said: "There is a custom in the Mu family that the son will be divided when he gets married, and the two mansions were purchased by my grandfather for the second and third uncles, not the old mansions. Even if you want to hide treasure, you will only hide it in the old mansion. ”

"What about the old mansion?"

Pei Yue shook his head and said, "The old mansion was donated by my mother after my brother-in-law disappeared. The house has been demolished now, and if there is really a treasure that has been discovered, it will not wait until now. ”

After a pause, he said, "My grandfather died of illness, and if there is really any treasure left, he will definitely tell my mother before he dies." If he doesn't say it, it means that there is no treasure left. ”

Tian Shao just said casually, and gave up after listening to his analysis.
