Today, the uncle and aunt came to the house, and seeing the uncle's iron-blue face, Xiao Zhengping hurriedly took Chen Yan out.

In the past two years, the uncle has come to the house more frequently, and sometimes he will come to the house to sit and talk to Xiao Zhengping when he comes out for a walk, or when he passes by to do something.

But the aunt doesn't come often, she has to take care of the housework, and she doesn't bother to walk, if there is nothing serious, she hardly goes out of the back mountain.

Today, the aunt came to the door, and the uncle had such a face, Xiao Zhengping expected that these two people must have something to find him.

gave up the seats to the two elders, poured a cup of tea for one another, and Xiao Zhengping moved a stool and sat down next to the uncle.

The aunt looked around the yard with a teacup and said, "Pingzi, your yard is a little messy, and you can't ignore your family!" ”

"Auntie, I'm busy all day now, and it's hard to go back to the ground, where is there time to take care of the yard. I won't be so busy in a few days, so I'll clean up again. ”

While talking, Xiao Zhengping deliberately glanced at the uncle, and he found that the uncle had been staring at the teacup, his face was still pale, and he didn't seem to have any intention of speaking.

"Pingzi," the aunt continued, "seeing that March is over, how are you getting along with the Dai family's daughter?" If it works, let's set the date. ”

Xiao Zhengping was not polite, and replied generously: "I think it's okay, but it's best to set the date for the second half of the year, and when the tobacco leaves are sold out, the big guys are not so busy at that time." ”

"Okay! Go back and call Dai Dumb, and we'll set the date. ”

"Uncle and aunt are bothered." While talking, Xiao Zhengping wondered, if the uncle and aunt are here for this, then why did the uncle put on that face?

"Your father and mother are not here, we don't care about your affairs, who else can take care of it? If you call Uncle and Aunt, you can't call it in vain, right? ”

After speaking, the aunt looked at the uncle and deliberately coughed a few times, but the uncle only responded by glaring fiercely and not squeaking.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhengping was even more sure that the two elders were in trouble, so he asked, "Uncle and aunt, do you have anything else to do with me?" ”

The aunt seemed to be a little embarrassed at this time, and after squirming for a while, she blushed and said, "Pingzi, I came with your uncle, yes~~ I want to borrow some money from you." ”

When the uncle heard this, he immediately stood up and shouted: "You can borrow it, you can borrow it, what does it have to do with me!" With that, the uncle strode out of the courtyard.

"Borrow money?" Xiao Zhengping was a little surprised, "Auntie, if you need money, ask me to take it, and you can't borrow it." It's just why do you want so much money, what's the matter? ”

Xiao Zhengping's cheerfulness made the aunt less embarrassed, she sighed, and said: "I and your uncle's money are given to those three dead girls, isn't this to sign a contract for tobacco seedlings, and it takes a little money to order tobacco seedlings, so I will look for you to turn around." You can rest assured that you will be able to return the cigarettes after selling them. ”

The dead girl mentioned by the aunt is obviously Xiao Zhengping's three cousins, the cousins rarely go home, and they came with their grandchildren, the two old people are happy, and it is understandable to give a little more New Year's money.

"You're really, what's the matter! I'll come into the house and get you as much as you need. ”

"Tobacco seedlings plus fertilizer, fifty is enough."

"Fifty?" Xiao Zhengping was surprised again, he thought it would be at least two or three hundred, but he didn't expect that the aunt just wanted to borrow fifty. But the salary he gave to his uncle last year plus dividends, how could he have 500 yuan, even if he used some more for the New Year, it wouldn't be even fifty.

"Aunt," Xiao Zhengping continued, "aren't you going to give all the money to my sister?" ”

The aunt sighed again, "Hey, what's the way, the little ones have to study to make up their brains, and the big ones don't go well or that, and when you are a father and a mother, you can't watch it." ”

As soon as Xiao Zhengping wanted to speak, the uncle outside the courtyard scolded, "You don't care if you can die, what's the matter?" It's not enough for Lao Tzu to raise them, when they come back for the New Year, they will be like his mother's bandits, and everything will be done. You, just get used to it, you see if you will come back when you don't have the money to give those three white-eyed wolves! ”

When Xiao Zhengping heard this, he knew that the uncle's stubborn temper had been committed again, so he hurriedly ran into the house and brought a hundred yuan to the two elders, "Auntie, you take this money first, if it's not enough, you can take care of me." Don't be embarrassed, my father and my mother are gone, it was you and my uncle and my second uncle and second mother who pulled me and Ye'er, and now that I have made money, I should honor you. After speaking, Xiao Zhengping shouted at the uncle outside the hospital, "Uncle, don't be angry, no one's life is having a good time now, the three sisters are a little difficult, you can help, isn't the policy good now, sisters, they will slowly get better." ”

Auntie took the money, her voice was a little choked, "Pingzi, good boy, Auntie didn't hurt you in vain." ”

From beginning to end, the uncle did not set foot in Xiao Zhengping's yard again, and after Xiao Zhengping discussed the marriage with the aunt for a while, the uncle and aunt left.

......

The season of winter bamboo shoots passed quickly, and in more than three months, Xiao Zhengping handed over ten tons of dried bamboo shoots to Xia Changyong, and now Xiao Zhengping is already a veritable 10,000 yuan household.

When handing over the last cart of winter bamboo shoots, He Yongfu waited for Xia Changyong to leave and left Xiao Zhengping behind.

Chen Yan saw that He Yongfu obviously had something to say alone, so he excused himself to go to the market and left.

He Yongfu pulled Xiao Zhengping into the courtyard, looking very anxious.

"Uncle, what are you doing here? Is something wrong? Xiao Zhengping asked.

"Something's going on! You come in first. Pingzi, listen to me, Qiaoyun, this girl was moved by me, and now as long as you agree, we can become a family. ”

Xiao Zhengping was stunned, and just wanted to refuse, but He Yongfu didn't give him a chance.

"I know that you and that dumb girl have been married, but the marriage is a marriage, and it is not a marriage, even if you are really married, can't you still leave? You see, you should understand what my aunt and I do to you, if you want, I don't need a penny of bride price. After you marry Qiaoyun, this yard is yours, and you can use it whatever you want. How about I also give you a walk around the relationship and help you make your business bigger? ”

Xiao Zhengping didn't know how to continue with this topic, and after lowering his head and thinking for a while, he said: "Uncle, it is said that you think so highly of me, why do I have to know how to lift up." But this is a major event in my life! I told you, I grew up with Xuemei since childhood, I like her for a long time, not long ago my aunt said that she wanted to set the date, you said that if I regret it at this time, then what will I become? ”

He Yongfu said sadly: "Oh, just because it's a major event in life, you can't be hasty!" Do you like it, like it to be able to eat? I've inquired about the Dai family, what do you want, can his family compare with mine? My family Qiaoyun is also a person who eats public meals, and the daughter of the Dai family is a tofu seller. Pingzi, let me tell you this, if you want to come to my house, you don't have to worry about anything, you just have the courage to do your business, but if you really marry the daughter of the Dai family, your hands and feet will be tied. ”

He Yongfu's words are very straightforward and unpleasant, and because of this, the reason laid out is also very simple, and you can understand it without thinking much.

However, no matter how fanciful He Yongfu said and how easy the truth was, when he thought of He Qiaoyun's face when he met him for the first time, Xiao Zhengping couldn't help but feel a wave of disgust in his heart.

As he was talking, suddenly there was a crisp sound in the corner of the courtyard, and the two of them followed the voice, and saw He Qiaoyun stomp his feet violently, and then turned around angrily.
