Chapter 294: Taking the initiative to be filial
The young man only bowed slightly, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.
He Zao shouted excitedly, hurriedly ran over to take a look, and came out of it dejectedly for a while, glaring at him: "It's not the small recliner before, what kind of gift is this!" ”
It seems that Ache lied to her if she said that she threw away the recliner before.
He Zao opened a pair of dark eyes, looked at him condemningly and dissatisfied, his little face drooped, and he didn't have any energy.
Ache has a bad taste. He Zao always looked radiant, and he always liked to watch her quickly change from radiant to dejected.
Whenever this happens, his heart is very soft.
He smiled, gentle and kind: "Didn't you say that your family wanted to buy a carriage before, do you want me to tell the steward and let him choose one." ”
He Zao frowned and shook his head: "Don't want a carriage, my family is not a rich family, just an ordinary donkey cart, this little thing doesn't have to bother people, my father and my fourth uncle are going to go to the county tomorrow to buy a full set." ”
Ah Che had no concerns: "If you are not familiar with the life in the county, don't be deceived!" My aunt and cousin have already gone back to the city, and only the steward is left to do things, and he is very idle, so you can only use him! ”
He Zao muttered in his heart: "You said it lightly! ”
The stewards of the noble family, even if they often deal with each other, their He family is mostly stubborn, where do they dare to be a long-term worker. ”
But when it comes to buying a donkey cart, it naturally comes to another thing.
Ah Che asked, "Your family is going to buy someone?" ”
He Zao shook his head: "No, our rural landlords are all interested in hiring long-term workers, and my family wants to hire a few more diligent and honest people, and there is only one person in the family, and there is too little one person in the family, and then hire a cook to help cook for the long-term workers, so that my mother can also be more relaxed." ”
Ah Che felt that it was very unsafe for the hired people to enter the kitchen, so he persuaded him: "The work in the field, your workshops can use long-term labor, and it will not hinder it, but the kitchen at home is the entrance thing, you can't be sloppy, if your family can't pick people, I will help buy a cook and two little maids!" ”
After a pause, he said again: "Your family's work is heavy, it all depends on you and your eldest sister, and your body will be tired after a long time, and someone has to help share the burden." ”
He Zao held his chin and thought, what Ah Che said also made sense, she had a lot of things to do in the future, and she couldn't give the persimmon workshop to Aunt Lu Si with full authority, but if she really bought a maid?
He Zao felt a little unacceptable.
She is from the modern era and is not interested in human trafficking.
After thinking about it for a long time, she said vaguely: "Let's talk about it then, my family will hire someone first, and then we will survive the New Year." ”
Ah Che took a serious look at her expression, then shut up and said no more.
The next day, He Laosan went to the county seat with He Laosi to see the donkey cart, ready to buy it directly.
This made the people in the old house jealous, Ma has been muttering in front of Mrs. He, and Mrs. He has been muttering in front of Mr. He, and it is even more natural to say: "We are both old, and our bones are hard, and now that Sanfang has bought a donkey cart, it is time to send us the ox cart before that, so as to pull us." ”
Before he finished speaking, Old Man He looked at her vigilantly: "I'll tell you, the third child said this, if he doesn't say it, you are not allowed to mention it!" ”
Old Lady He's eyes widened for a moment: "Why?" That's my own son, why didn't he get an old thing he didn't use? ”
Old Man He gritted his teeth, but he knew Old Lady He's temper very well, if you were angry, she would be a hundred times angrier than you!
Therefore, he had to endure it and slowly reason with her: "The third child has a lot of land at home, so he can't use oxen to plow the land, so how can the ox cart be useless, it must be of great use!" ”
Mrs. He sneered: "What's the matter, his family is so rich now, and the strawberries sold are a thousand taels of silver, and he still cares about Xiao Huang Nian who is seven or eight taels of silver?" Don't let me mention it, let his family take the initiative to send me a cow! ”
Saying that, she became sad and indignant: "Our family also had cattle before, it wasn't that the second child went to the exam, and he was anxious to use the money, so we had to sell our cattle, until now, dozens of acres of land, all rely on manpower, and people can be tired to death just by being tired!" The third child really has no conscience, how long has he been rich, and he doesn't say anything at all! ”
When he said this, the old man was silent, he took a puff of cigarette, and then said sullenly: "There are many things at home, and there are many places to use money!" Although Sanfang has made some money now, there are many places to spend money, and you have to go to the school for the four treasures and seven treasures, as well as the silver to build the greenhouse, it has cost a lot of miles! ”
He paused, and even he could hear his own insincerity.
To be honest, he minded this.
He hopes that his third son, who has a good color, can take the initiative to see the needs of his parents and take the initiative to send them over, instead of the elders following behind his ass to ask for it, which looks cheap and ugly!
Mrs. He snorted: "You just protect him, I haven't settled accounts with him yet, and when I really get into trouble, let's tear our faces and calculate it!" ”
When she came back from the town the previous time, she felt embarrassed, so she wanted to ask someone to find He Laosan and scold her, but the old man He persuaded her, saying that the noise at home was not good for Dabao's happy event, and Mrs. He barely suppressed it, and in the past two days, she has been muttering bad things about Sanfang at home, if something happens again this time that she is not satisfied, Mrs. He decided that it is good to make a big fuss, so that the whole village knows that Sanfang is not filial to her!
Old Man He sighed and glanced at her, but did not persuade any further.
Mrs. He sometimes likes to say a cruel verbal thing, but she is okay.
The old couple was worried about He Laosan's filial piety, but He Laosan rushed back to the donkey cart at night, He Laosi drove an ox cart, and He Laosan hired someone to drive another ox cart! drove straight to the old house.
The children of Sanbao and Wubao shouted excitedly.
Hearing the movement, the old couple came out of the house, and looked at the brand-new ox cart, both surprised and delighted.
Old Man He's voice was also a little inexplicably excited, and he looked at the smiling He Laosan: "Third child, why are you ...... this ox cart?"
He Laosi smiled and said: "Dad, mother, this is my third brother's initiative to be filial to you." You two elders are not strong anymore, where can you go in the future! ”
He Laosan grinned, which was regarded as confirming He Laosi's words.
Old Man He was so excited that he didn't even forget to refuse, and just kept nodding: "Zhong, Zhongli, my son is a filial piety!" ”
"Hmph, why don't you buy a donkey cart? This ox cart is rare! Mrs. He suddenly spoke in surprise.
