Under the big tsubaki tree at the mouth of the alley, Josie and Qiao's mother sat in the shade while doing needlework in their hands.

Josie doesn't really like to do this kind of work, and she doesn't do it meticulously, she just has nothing to do and is looking for something to do.

Aunt Qiao walked over with a smile, also holding needlework in her hand, and when she saw Qiao's mother, she said, "Oh, have you started making winter cotton shoes?" ”

"There are a lot of people in the family, so do it early." Qiao's mother glanced at Josie and deliberately said: "This is still what my family Xixi advocates to do, she has filial piety, and said that she wants to make a pair of shoes for her brothers and brothers before she gets married." ”

Second Aunt Qiao's eyes suddenly lit up: "Xixi is really a rare good girl!" ”

Josie yawning perfunctorily with soles: "......"

She doesn't know anything, don't look at her......

Second Aunt Qiao had an idea in her heart, and she didn't hide it when she spoke: "His aunt, what are your plans for the future?" ”

When Qiao's mother heard this, her movements slowed down: "I don't plan to do it for the time being, I'll take a look later." I don't really have any ideas, it mainly depends on what Xixi herself means, and now is not the time of the past, pay attention to freedom! ”

"Yes, yes, free love is in vogue right now." Second Aunt Qiao didn't refute it explicitly, and Ying and Hou changed the conversation again: "But in the final analysis, if you want to get married, it's best to know the roots." ”

Qiao's mother pursed her lower lip and didn't answer this sentence.

Second Aunt Qiao stared at Qiao Xi with bright eyes, the little girl was white and well-behaved, why did she like it so much.

Qiao's mother took in Aunt Qiao's every move, and she was actually very happy that her beloved daughter could be liked so much.

However, it was only joy, and she was not carried away.

Second Aunt Qiao gave birth to three sons and no daughters, which made many people envious of only having daughters and not sons, but only Aunt Qiao herself knew that pulling her son was much more difficult than pulling her daughter.

Especially seeing that Qiao's mother raised Josie to be smart and sensible, which made her envious.

I have watched Josie grow up since I was a child, and I saw that Joe Taian and Josie were friends, so it was reasonable to have an idea.

But......

Qiao's mother's eyes fell on Aunt Qiao's rough hands, and she crossed Qiao Tai'an in her heart without hesitation.

As for the reason, it's simple.

Qiao Tai'an is a good child, and Aunt Qiao is good, but the family style of their family is that men are in charge, women are obedient and work, Qiao's father will clean up after eating, and occasionally cook, Aunt Qiao and their family, but the work at home is done by herself.

The family style is difficult to change, Qiao Tai'an has not been deliberately cultivated, and his two younger brothers can't help, once her Xixi marries, she will have to serve a large family in the future.

It's a big head when you think about it.

At the beginning, she was able to agree to the relationship with the Yang family, it was because Yang Wenqing was the only seedling of the Yang family, and her parents were honest, and it would not be too hard for her daughter to marry in the past.

But Aunt Qiao's family, it's hard to say.

With this consideration, Qiao's mother didn't beat around the bush anymore, and said directly: "Marriage matters depend on the children's own opinions, and I have promised Xixi that she will make her own decisions in the future." ”

Seeing that Qiao's mother didn't eat oil and salt, Aunt Qiao could only ask Qiaoxi: "Xixi, what do you think?" ”

"Huh?" Qiao Xi was listening intently to Qiao Zhu's crying, and she didn't hear what Qiao's mother and Qiao's second aunt said.

Aunt Qiao was about to repeat, and Qiao Zhu's cry suddenly became louder.

A few people looked over and saw Qiao Zhu running out of the house, running all the way and running in front of several people.

Aunt Qiao chased out, holding a rolling pin in her hand, and she was so angry that she snorted.

"It's a good thing! I can't control you! ”

Seeing this, Qiao's mother quickly put down the work in her hand and stepped forward to pull Aunt Qiao aside to comfort and ask.

With this little episode, Aunt Qiao also forgot what she was going to say.

After sitting for a while, Aunt Qiao left in advance, and Mother Qiao finally finished talking to Aunt Qiao and returned to Qiao Xi.

She sighed twice: "Qiao Zhu, this girl, her heart is really high, she can't look down on these guys in the village, and she says that she is determined to marry into the town."

Your aunt taught her not to be deceived, and she cried and said that your aunt cursed her.

This girl! ”

Josie paused.

In fact, it is a good thing to have ambition, after all, everyone wants to go to a high place, but Qiao Zhu looks very average and has a unlikable personality, and she can't do anything to earn money, so I really can't imagine why the guy in the town wants to marry her.

When it comes to marriage, the woman picks the man, and the man picks the woman as well.

These truths can be seen very thoroughly by people like Aunt Qiao and Mother Qiao.

In his previous life, Qiao Zhu was indeed deceived by the guys in the town.

Qiao's mother scratched her head with the tail of a needle, and suddenly looked at Josie: "Girl, do you want to marry in town?" ”

Josie was stunned for a moment, then shook her head: "I didn't think about this. ”

"Qiao Zhu can think about it, you are better than Qiao Zhu, you can think about it." Qiao's mother was opened to the general idea: "It's better to marry in the town, you don't have to work in the field, and your life is idle and rich......"

Josie was not interested in this topic, and hugged Qiao's mother's arm: "Mom, don't say it, I don't want to get married yet, so let me accompany you more." ”

What's so good about getting married, it's better to stay by your mother's side and be happy.

The girl's delicate coquettishness made Qiao's mother instantly happy: "Okay, well, then you can accompany your mother, anyway, your mother can't bear you." ”

Smiling happily, Qiao's mother swept Qiao Dong's figure in her spare eyes, and the smile on her face instantly converged.

She lowered her head, pretended not to see, and continued to make cotton shoes.

Qiao Dong walked straight to Qiao's mother, glanced at Qiao's mother, and then at Qiaoxi.

Josie saw that the eldest brother had something to say, so she wanted to get up and leave, but Qiao's mother pulled her sleeve.

Qiao's mother glanced at Qiao Dong angrily: "What's the matter, what can't you say in front of your sister?" ”

"No, no, no." Qiao Dong hurriedly denied it, his eyes were earnest: "Sister, brother definitely didn't mean that." ”

Josie didn't want to see family discord, so she said softly: "Big brother, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, we are all a family, there is nothing unspeakable." ”

Qiao Dong nodded and took a deep breath: "Mom, Hailan is ...... Pregnant. ”

As soon as these words came out, Josie and Qiao's mother were stunned.

Qiao Dong gritted his teeth and admitted his mistake on behalf of Sun Hailan: "Mom, Hailan knows that she is wrong, she will never dare in the future, for the sake of her pregnancy now, let her go home." ”

Qiao's mother's thick lips were tightly pursed, she looked at Josie, then at the people passing by, and got up: "Let's talk about it when we go home!" ”

Back at home, Qiao's mother and Qiao's father went into the house to discuss.

Josie stood in the yard, thinking that it was the same in her previous life, and that her sister-in-law was pregnant just a few days after she got married.

In her previous life, she and Qiao's mother didn't know the true face of her sister-in-law, but she was happy for many days for this child.

It's a pity that the sister-in-law's child was not saved.
