Chapter 122: You old thing
Qiao's father picked up the dry tobacco, pressed it and put it in the chimney.
He looked at Qiao's mother seriously, and shook his head helplessly: "Our daughter looks soft and easy to speak, but in fact, her personality is the same as yours, and she has her own ideas in her heart." Just like you ...... back then."
Back then, Qiao's family's economic conditions were not good, and her mother-in-law was difficult, but Qiao's mother just liked Qiao's father, so even if the family didn't agree, she insisted on marrying Qiao's father.
You must know that at that time, Qiao's mother's mother's family chose a husband for Qiao's mother, and the bride price conditions given were the most generous in several nearby villages.
Qiao's mother's family even enjoyed a lot of the benefits of that family in advance.
Therefore, Qiao's mother resolutely married Qiao's father, which not only offended the family, but also angered everyone in her mother's family.
So much so that her mother's family said that no matter how Qiao's mother lives in the future, she should not expect her mother's family to be a backer.
Qiao's mother married Qiao's father, which is equivalent to being kicked out of her mother's house.
In the first few years, Qiao's grandmother was always looking for trouble to make a trip, even with Qiao's father's support, Qiao's mother's life was not good.
But no matter what happened, Qiao's mother never regretted her decision.
Many people have been wronged for her, but Qiao's mother always thinks that her choice is right.
Of course, Qiao's father did not disappoint her.
Qiao's mother now has prestige in the village, and the family is completely in charge, so it can be regarded as a hard work to get through.
Qiao's mother knew what Qiao's father wanted to say, she hugged her arms, and said proudly: "I saw that you are an old thing with responsibility, you can protect me, and you are not as patriarchal as others, if I give birth to a girl, I can live more comfortably." That Qin Jiashu, what does he have? ”
"Haha!" Father Qiao burst out laughing.
Decades have passed, and such a praise from my daughter-in-law is enough for this life.
He was in a good mood, and he also refuted Qin Jiashu: "How do you know that Qin Kid is not responsible?" After these days of observation, I think that kid is quite good. ”
"Where's the good?" Qiao's mother exclaimed angrily: "He dares to think about my daughter, this is a big mistake!" ”
Qiao's father knew that Qiao's mother was worried about her daughter's suffering.
But......
He shook his head: "Look back, the Yang Wenqing we chose is a useless person, not only is he weak, but he is also half-hearted and not responsible." ”
"You blame me for picking the wrong son-in-law?" Qiao's mother was keenly aware of the problem.
Qiao's father didn't let Qiao's mother this time, but said very seriously: "You love our Xixi, so you are always afraid that she will endure hardships, afraid that she will be bullied, make friends that make her inferior to hers, and pick a son-in-law and a simple family with a weak character, if you think it is easy to handle, you can protect her." Maybe it won't be good for her. ”
Qiao's mother had a dark face and didn't say a word.
Father Qiao continued: "Your motherly heart sometimes blindfolds you. Xixi, I don't think she is a brainless, she will like Qin Jiashu, there must be her reasons. I'll talk to her early tomorrow morning. ”
"That's okay, you can ask carefully, ask carefully, we can have a plan in our hearts." Qiao's mother said this, which was a relief.
Father Qiao laughed, immediately took the dry tobacco, and continued to smoke.
Qiao's mother hugged her arm and thought for a while, and after thinking clearly, she smashed her fist on Qiao's father's shoulder.
"You old thing, educated me, didn't you? co-authored the original choice of Yang Wenqing, you didn't nod! ”
"Ahem, cough, ahem......" Qiao's father was caught off guard and choked on a big puff of smoke.
Seeing this, Qiao's mother hurriedly took the tea and gave it to Qiao's father to drink.
After Qiao's father finished drinking, she smashed Qiao's father again.
It's just that this fist smashed a lot lighter.
"Old thing, don't smoke it, the smell is so bad that it chokes people, go to sleep!"
……
After Qin Jiashu returned to the orchard, he first fed the wolf, and then studied the book of Chinese medicinal materials while cooking dinner on the stove.
Since you can dig up wild ginseng and astragalus, you will definitely be able to dig up other things.
The mountains are full of treasures, and they can all be used by him.
The more you can use, the more money you can exchange.
In the past, he would not have been so radical and eager to make money, but now that the situation is compelling, he doesn't have so much time to grind.
He had already figured out that it would take him a month to earn the bride price.
The Yang family married Josie at that time, and the bride price given was 500 yuan, and he couldn't at least not lower than this amount.
Otherwise, with his conditions, why let her marry him.
It was getting dark, and the moon was climbing up the treetops.
Qin Jiashu held a basin covered with cloth in one hand and walked towards Zhuangzi in the moonlight.
Walking to a house, he lowered his voice and called, "Grandma." ”
After a while, there was the sound of crutches hitting the ground inside the door, and then the wooden door creaked open.
Under the moonlight, the old lady's old face looked more and more ravine, but in Qin Jiashu's eyes, it was extraordinarily kind.
"Quick, come in." The old lady was extremely happy when she saw Qin Jiashu.
Qin Jiashu walked into the door and closed it again.
Then, he lifted the cloth, took out a large steamed bun that was still steaming, and stuffed it into the old lady's hand: "Meaty." ”
The old lady was surprised for a moment, and sighed: "Now is the time for you to grow your body, you should keep this bun for yourself, I am a person of my age, and it is a waste for me to eat this good thing." ”
"Grandma, don't say that again, I don't like to hear it." Qin Jiashu said, walked straight into the kitchen, and put down the dozen or so buns in the basin.
The old lady took a bite of the bun and exclaimed: "Xiao An'an, your bun is getting better and better." ”
"Grandma, if you like it, I'll give it to you later." At this point, he paused, and then continued, "However, I may not be able to come for the next month." ”
The old lady wondered, "What?" You're going out? ”
Qin Jiashu helped the old lady into the hall, the old lady was reluctant to turn on the light, lit the kerosene lamp, and the two sat down face to face under the dim lamp.
He said, "No, I'm going to be busy for a while." ”
"Oh." The old lady patted her chest: "That's okay, you're busy with you, my wife and I are in good health, and I don't need you to come all the time, you're older, you have something to be busy with." ”
She said and laughed: "Speaking of which, Changle is still my own grandson, and the number of times he comes to see me is not as diligent as you." ”
Qin Jiashu smiled faintly at this: "In my heart, you are my grandmother." ”
Although he eats at Wa's house all the year round, in fact, the best thing for him at the beginning was Wa Changle's grandmother, Mrs. Wa.
At that time, the Wa family had not yet been separated, and the old lady and several sons and daughters-in-law lived under one roof and had some power in their hands.
It was her, although she didn't say anything on the surface, she had been secretly good to Qin Jiashu in private.
Later, the Wa family also experienced a lot of things, and several sons and daughters-in-law separated and moved out one after another.
The old lady did not want to look at her daughters-in-law, so after the old man died, she lived alone in the old house.
Qin Jiashu's eyebrows moved slightly, he clenched his fists, and he couldn't hold back after all.
"Grandma, I like a girl."
