Chapter 12: Cheng Jiaojiao and Chen Dalang
Dawei Village, where the Cheng family lives, is more than half an hour's road away from the county.
It is said that it is not close, but it is not far away.
Chen Xiucai hired a donkey cart to rush to Cheng's house, only to know that Cheng Da had entered the county seat to find him.
He took a donkey cart back to the county seat, and in the county school, he searched all over the bookstores and teahouses that several people frequented, and only then did he catch up with Cheng Da on the way to his home. He panted: "Brother Cheng, I'll look for you for a good time." ”
"That's right, I'm looking for you too."
This is not something that can be said on the road, Chen Xiucai invited people to his home, "Then let's talk about it at home." ”
After entering the house, Chen Xiucai asked his wife to boil water to make tea, and Cheng Da smiled and stopped: "It's not an outsider, you're welcome." I'll have to go back in a while, so let's talk about something! ”
Chen Xiucai sighed heavily, Cheng Da was straight, and when he saw this, he asked, "Are you for the sake of Da Lang and his youngest daughter?" ”
Chen Xiucai sighed again: "It's not good for the insider to be sad when she hears about it, she has a unique eye relationship with the first year, but she didn't expect it...... Alas! ”
Cheng Da also regretted: "This is something that no one expected." ”
Chen Xiucai said again: "Marriage is the best of the two surnames, Da Lang and the first year of the first year of the first year, I think, I can't help but let my family Erlang and your family make a marriage, what do you think?" Cheng Da immediately remembered what he said to him on the seventh day of the first month.
Chu Qi raised his head and said to him very seriously: "I don't care about others, anyway, I absolutely don't want to get married." Dad, if you don't listen to me, I won't speak for the rest of my life. ”
Thinking about his little daughter's stubbornness, he really didn't dare not listen.
Cheng Da was surprised in his heart, the child in the seventh year of junior high school was too smart to know the Chen family's intentions in advance.
He shook his head and refused, "Brother Chen, the two of us have known each other for many years, and you also know that I am a straightforward person who will not turn around corners, so I will say it bluntly, this family affair will not work, and it will not affect the friendship between the two of us, there is no need to get married." ”
Chen Xiucai wanted to say more, but suddenly there was a shout outside: "Chen Xiucai, come and see, your son has dived." ”
Chen Xiucai was so frightened that he raised his feet and ran out, and Cheng Da was also startled and followed him to the river.
Only then did the two find out that a group of people had gathered here, and Chen Dalang, who was rumored to be diving, carried a soaked girl from the river to the shore.
When he got closer, Cheng Da realized that this girl was his niece Cheng Jiaojiao.
Cheng Da's face was not good-looking, he didn't care about how his niece was in the county, and he fell into the water, and he happened to be rescued by Chen Dalang.
He stepped forward to pick up his niece, but Chen Dalang's body twisted, "Uncle Cheng, my sister Jiaojiao is soaked, let's send her to my house quickly, let her change into my mother's clothes and drink some ginger soup, so as not to get sick." ”
Chen Xiucai's face was also ugly, and his previous worry turned into anger.
He just mentioned that Erlang should marry the seventh day of the first month, and Dalang slapped him in the face.
Cheng Da didn't know, but he knew that Da Lang wanted to marry this Cheng Jiaojiao before.
How could this give him the face to face Cheng Da?
Cheng Jiaojiao was not unconscious, her face was buried in Chen Dalang's arms and she refused to turn her head.
Cheng Damu had a face and followed Chen Dalang to Chen's house, Chen Xiucai kept explaining beside him: "Dalang, this child has been kind-hearted since he was a child, and his neighbors say that he is a good boy, and when he hears that someone has fallen into the water, he will definitely save him as soon as possible, but I didn't expect such a coincidence......
Cheng Da stopped, and Chen Xiucai also stopped, "Brother Cheng? ”
Cheng Da glanced behind him and smiled helplessly: "Brother Chen, you and I have been friends for many years, so there is really no need to be like this." Jiaojiao is my niece, and she and Da Lang are the same. ”
Chen Xiucai's hand clenched slightly, but it only took an instant to let go, and he laughed: "It's extreme, it's extreme!" Our two families are still in-laws, right? Hahaha~"
Cheng Da sighed slightly, "Brother Chen, go back first, I'll go to my eldest niece and ask her to bring her clothes over to Jiaojiao." ”
Waiting for Chen Xiucai to leave first, he took a few steps back before saying, "Second brother, you are really calculating!" ”
Although he has rejected this kiss, but he is calculated by his own brother like this, it is strange that he can feel better!
Cheng Er came out of the corner of the diagonal room and said apologetically to him: "Big brother, I really didn't calculate you. I also happened to hear that someone fell into the water to come to see the excitement, but I didn't expect it...... This, alas, why do you say it is such a coincidence! ”
Cheng Da turned his head and looked at Cheng Er's helpless expression, half-convinced: "You really don't know?" Really not your calculations? ”
Cheng shouted injustice, "Big brother, we are brothers, you don't believe me like that?" Am I that kind of person? ”
He muttered: "To be honest, if it weren't for such a coincidence, I would definitely not let Jiaojiao marry into the Chen family, if anything, it's better than Fang'er's in-laws!" If you marry this, you will definitely have to suffer, when you said that you wanted to marry the first year of junior high school, I felt that it should not be! I didn't expect ...... Alas! ”
He didn't lie, if it weren't for Jiaojiao's stinky girl threatening him, he wouldn't have let her marry into a poor Xiucai family!
He has found a good family for Jiaojiao, so he will wait for the boss to come back and find someone to investigate.
Now it's all ruined in the hands of this stinky girl.
"You go to Xiaofang and ask her to bring Jiaojiao's clothes, I'll go home." Cheng Da paused and then said: "Chen Dalang and the first year of junior high school don't agree, forget about this family matter, as for Jiaojiao, it's better for you, the father, to take care of her, I have to go back to study." ”
Cheng Er looked at the back of the eldest brother walking away and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.
Fortunately, there is this "eight-character incompatibility" put on the shelf, otherwise this thing would not be good.
There is a little self-satisfaction, don't look at his books as well as the boss, but his intelligence is much stronger than the boss.
The two showmen are not played by him!
The relationship between the Cheng family and the Chen family has been decided.
Chen Dalang and Cheng Jiaojiao were satisfied.
Chen Xiucai was very dissatisfied, he motioned to his wife to come forward and asked Qu to borrow twenty taels of silver.
Of course Qu refused, "Your family's dowry hasn't come out yet, so you want silver?" I see you are like lions with big mouths. ”
Cheng Er was a little enlightened after hearing about it, the Chen family wanted to marry the Cheng family, this is bad intentions and loyalty!
However, thinking that the eldest brother said that Chen Xiucai was solid in knowledge and his knowledge was no worse than his own, he mentioned this matter to the old man.
"Dad, I thought, since the two families are good families, and they have agreed on family affairs, why don't we take some silver out, and the in-laws will thank our family."
Twenty taels of silver is not a small amount, and the old man agreed to take the silver after thinking about it for a night.
"Twenty taels is not, your eldest brother still needs to use it! Here are five taels, you take it to the Chen family, and the silver will be given to them without having to pay it back. ”
The old man was quite dissatisfied with Cheng Jiaojiao and Chen Dalang, there were some things that didn't need to be explained, and the old man could see the greasy in them at a glance.
Just these five taels are still sponsored by Chen Xiucai's face.
Chen Xiucai looked ashamed after receiving the silver, "Thank you Uncle Cheng for me, Chen will be rewarded if he wants to win." ”
Cheng Er waved his hand, "We are in-laws, you're welcome, hahaha"
Cheng Da was stunned when he heard this, "The second child really only gave five taels?" Didn't add more? ”
Yang said angrily: "Five taels is still less? The few times you went to the exam before, you didn't bring five taels of silver each time, and you used two taels of silver every time. ”
This time I went out, and the old man prepared more, which was enough for ten taels of silver.
