He Zao was thoughtful.

"Who did I hear in a trance say that our aunt hurt her body and can't have children?"

I didn't expect her to suddenly say that she would give birth to a child, He Chun'er's face was a little red, but she still nodded: "It's not a mile, it's a difficult birth when I gave birth to my cousin, it was a few years ago, and I also saw my aunt wiping her tears with her milk." ”

He Zao squinted his eyes and thought about it, shook his head secretly, feeling that he was thinking too much, Dabao is the eldest grandson of the He family, and he will never allow him to be passed out, even if it is his own daughter, it is a foreign surname!

Aunt He didn't necessarily think about stepping into a son who had grown up.

The two were talking, but when they saw Aunt He coming out with Ma, they smiled when they saw them: "What are the two sisters hiding here and whispering, I'll go and see your mother, Chun'er, you take me and your eldest mother." ”

Ma did not have the gloom of these two days, but on the contrary, he was happy, as if a flower had bloomed on his face.

He Zao saw a bright bracelet on her wrist.

He Chun'er hesitated, then left He Zao and took Aunt He and Ma to the West Chamber.

Since falling ill, this is the first time Ma has come into the house to visit Chen.

Soon there was a joke between Aunt He and Chen, and Chen seemed to have a little spirit.

Aunt He's voice is the same as her, very unremarkable, low and hoarse, but the tone of her speech is slow and clear, and she always has a little smile, adding two layers of softness to it, which makes people listen to it and feel that it can just speak to people's hearts.

People like Ma have been flattering Aunt He.

He Zao sat on the kang outside and pretended to catch stones to play, but in fact, a pair of ears were pricked up, listening directly to the movement inside.

Aunt He talked about Chen's illness to the furnishings in the house, and from the furnishings in the house to the half basket of duck eggs she brought, and finally focused on the grocery store she opened at home: "If you want to eat and drink, just mention to the third child, I don't care about anything there and take it at will." As the eldest sister, I am stingy with outsiders, but I am only generous to our family. ”

Chen Shiqiang smiled and thanked him.

Ma immediately opened his mouth: "Eldest sister, that dare is good, forsythia has grown to this age, flowers and bones are average, but there is not even a good-looking head rope, eldest sister, I know that there are some old exquisite jewelry, I will take forsythia to take a look at it another day!" ”

Aunt He's voice couldn't hear anything unusual: "Medium, just go." ”

He Chun'er came out of the room by serving tea, holding back her smile and blushing, and when she met He Zao's gaze, she couldn't help laughing.

He Zao couldn't help but laugh.

Afterwards, He Chun'er secretly said to He Zao: "Don't listen to what the aunt said is so good, wait, as long as the eldest lady really comes to the door, she will definitely be thrown out in disgrace, and the aunt will also say that it is all the eldest uncle's idea, push it clean by yourself!" ”

He Zao was actually a little surprised, after getting along for so long, He Chun'er was never a person who chewed the root of her tongue, but she told her three times that she was dissatisfied with Aunt He, which shows that this person must have done very excessive things before, which gave He Chun'er a psychological shadow.

In the end, in the name of honoring his grandmother, He Zao gave them to Mrs. He, who was busy hanging them on the beam, and was reluctant to take them out again.

Aunt He was a little helpless, beckoned He Zao and Qibao to come to her, and grabbed a large handful of copper coins for the two of them: "Children's families like to buy snacks to eat, take them and buy delicious ones for yourself." ”

It's about 20 yuan, and it's 10 duck eggs.

Chen has taught several children harshly in this regard, and Qibao is not a child who sees money, digging his mouth and putting his hands behind his back, shaking his head like a rattle, he just refuses to ask for it.

He Zao naturally won't want it.

Aunt He was very helpless and sighed: "I haven't seen you for a while, and a few children are a lot stranger to me." ”

Mrs. He snorted: "These little cubs are very abrasive, and they are not as obedient and sensible as the second family." ”

Aunt He smiled and didn't say anything.

She only stayed for half a day and left, probably because Ma had mentioned that she wanted to make a skirt with the half of the fine cotton she brought, and before leaving, she specially instructed Mrs. He that half of the cloth could just make a dress for each of the several gentlemen of the He family, so as not to pick it up and waste the cloth.

Ma Shi was very unhappy, obviously he didn't have the share of his daughter-in-law and juniors when he heard this, and he couldn't wear it as a girl.

He Chun'er was not surprised: "Our aunt is a real shrewd person, I haven't seen anything before, but when our mother gave birth to you and Qibao, my aunt also gave a generous gift, and it was the thickest among the relatives, but in private, she told our mother that there are many relatives in the family, and they are all cloth bought for children to make clothes, and the children's hands and feet grow quickly, and in the end they are all wasted!" As the eldest sister, she deliberately pulled the cloth suitable for our grandmother to wear, the color is heavy, and our mother can't use it if she wants to...... Our family is just a married eldest sister, waiting for her to make small clothes, but no one has that blessing. ”

……

The day after Aunt He left, Mrs. He called He Laosan over, closed the door, muttering that she didn't know what to say, and when she came back, He Laosan looked a little confused.

Chen asked, he hesitated, and then said, "Our mother thinks that Dabao is not young, and wants to do a family affair for him." ”

The people in the third room were a little surprised.

It stands to reason that He Dabao is also twenty-one years old this year, nineteen years old, in the countryside, it is long overdue to say kiss, but the old man He said a few years ago that he must wait for Dabao to take the exam to make a name for himself, at least he has to be admitted to a show, so that a series of younger brothers and sisters under him can follow and say a good family matter. That's why it's been delayed until now, but boys, it's not a big deal to be older.

But how could it be said all of a sudden now?

He had long remembered Aunt He who came back yesterday, was this the purpose of her return?

Chen sat on the kang, his face pale: "Her grandmother told you like this?" ”

He Laosan didn't know what to do, and nodded: "Yes, she also said that she has taken a fancy to one, it is from the town, so let's inquire first." ”

Chen didn't speak, and it took a long time before he said, "That...... It depends on what my mother means. ”

The tone was a little cold.

He Laosan realized that something was wrong with her, and he was very puzzled: "What's wrong with you, Dabao said that kissing is not a happy event, why are you unhappy?" ”

In front of the child, there were some things that Chen couldn't say, so he just glanced at him, and then lowered his head: "It's nothing, you go to Zhang Luo with your mother." ”

Or He Chun'er couldn't help it: "Dad, why do you want to tell your eldest brother about what she wants to do, the male protagonist is outside the female protagonist, my mother is good at home, why doesn't my grandmother tell my mother?" ”

He Laosan thought of this, opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, and smiled dryly: "Mother, she feels sorry for Dabao......"

In a word, because the Chen family is a stepmother, the old lady He did not expect to discuss this kind of marriage with the Chen family. This is obviously not taking Chen's daughter-in-law, a three-room daughter-in-law, in his eyes, and it is not in accordance with the rules.

Chen is a very polite and strong person, and he values these things the most, and Mrs. He is really slapping her face when she does this, even if she doesn't care anymore, she feels a little sour in her heart.

"Dad, you're confused, no matter how distressed her big brother is, she has to tell her mother, which one in the town does milk value, who said peace? She doesn't go out of the door all day long, how does she know that there are suitable people in the town? Who told her? The grandfather clearly said that the eldest brother didn't say his relatives before he took the fame test, why did the grandmother suddenly mention this matter, and also mention it when his mother was sick? Why did my grandfather speak and agree? ”

He Zao's series of questions made He Laosan a little confused.

He stammered, and found that he could not answer any of them.
