Chapter 17: It's Expanded

An ox cart carried the Gu patriarch and the Zhou family to return the salute, followed by the hired personnel, Gu Erlang deliberately slowed down the speed of the carriage, so that the patriarch and everyone chatted.

It is deliberately avoiding the bridge on the road, how big Qinghe Village is. When the matchmaker arrived at Gu's house in front, Liu's soon ushered in the arrival of the ox cart that pulled the return gift.

"Where's Uncle?"

Although he knew that Patriarch Gu must have gone home directly when he passed by the door, the Liu family still asked Gu Erzhu to give him a chance to praise his uncle.

Who makes the child's grandfather not happy for her family Liulang, don't think that you can't see how reluctant she laughs, isn't it that even the dowry of his Liulang's daughter-in-law is more than that of Dalang's family.

Just now, the eldest lady took out the dowry list, and the grandfather also said that Zhou Laosi was a handful of bad reputation, and who could say that he wanted to sell his daughter with a high dowry in the future.

Isn't it rumored that it will cost twenty taels of dowry, with the talent of Sanya, what is the height. Just like when she entered the door, the ten taels of silver bride price was very distressed.

Listening to her child's father, Gu Erzhu, openly praising the uncle, how could he not secretly point out that Da Lang's father-in-law was busy and gave the Liu family a happy time.

Even Mrs. Gu instructed her grandson to move all the return gifts from the ox cart last week's family back to the hall, she didn't care anymore, even if most of the dowry gifts were made up by the two of her own families.

"Mother, what are you looking at?" Gu Wenxuan returned from the hall to the east wing with the return gift given to him by his father, and saw Liu looking up at the roof in his room.

"You have to do it all over the place." Liu put down his hands and looked at his talented old son with satisfaction, "My Liulang is also going to marry a daughter-in-law." ”

Gu Wenxuan smiled, "No, you also have an extra daughter-in-law who is filial to you." In the future, my son will be filial to you and will not let you be underestimated by anyone. ”

In my memory, there is that scene.

His mother didn't have a dowry to enter the family back then, maybe his grandfather said something bad to his father. The son did not say anything about his father's fault, and his father did not mention half of it.

But a few years ago, Uncle Ma should be his brother and sister-in-law, and that night his father was drunk and said that he would give his mother a bad breath, and who would dare to say that his mother couldn't find a good daughter-in-law.

Sensational with the old lady is coming! Liu Shi turned his head to look at the kang in the room, blinked his damp eyes, and replied viciously: "Who dares to underestimate the old lady!" ”

"It's my son who said the wrong thing." Gu Wenxuan decisively changed the topic, "Did my father and you mention that I and my eldest brother want an earthen stove in the house?" ”

Liu nodded, "In two days, it will be difficult to move tomorrow." Your aunt may not be sour at this time, and when your uncle comes back, your grandfather will do it the next day. Your uncle is at home, your father is easy to talk to, and he will also help persuade him. ”

Brother-in-law?

Gu Wenxuan recalled that a middle-aged man who had been studying hard for many years was about to hang himself. He couldn't help laughing, don't say it, this uncle still has a little conscience.

Uncle don't want to die or live, with the fatherly heart of grandpa favoring the eldest son, it is really possible for the uncle to learn from his old man to close his eyes and see his ancestors.

But it's almost the same, Uncle is forty years old this year. Da Lang was going to study in a private school in the county, and when he became a father, he first cut and then found a job in the account room.

In fact, in his opinion, his grandfather might as well have cultivated his father back then. His father's brain is very useful, but unfortunately there was no Zhou Xiucai in the village at that time to return to the village to open a private school.

But even when he listened to the uncle's endorsement and watched how the uncle wrote, his father was able to write and calculate, and he was not stunned when he entered the city alone.

"Alright, let's go back to the house while everyone is in the hall at this time. Thanks to the cold weather, otherwise as long as you are at home, you have to go to the ground, and your body bones will be able to survive. ”

Gu Wenxuan looked at the Liu family who turned around and left after speaking, smiled, obediently sat on the edge of the kang behind him, and then fell down and lay on the kang, looking at the roof with his head on the pillow with his hands.

This day, things continue one after another, and the eighteen-year-old body is not tired or tired. It seems that it is all a trivial matter, but if there are too many cousins, there will inevitably be comparisons.

It's like before, when one person fed enough and the whole family was not hungry, and it was quiet and quiet with Banxia. As long as he remits living expenses to Zhou's father and mother every month, he will never disturb his family.

Not to mention his cousins, even those younger brothers and sisters in Banxia, their lives are stressful, and they are busy working hard to earn money and study in various places, who has time to get together.

Even if he and Banxia held a wedding, it was good to be able to come to the three of them as representatives, so that his friends didn't know that he and his family actually had twenty or thirty brothers and sisters.

At the same time, Gu Erzhu was also feeling that his nephews and nieces were really a lot. Just finished talking about his son's marriage, and his niece actually came to find someone.

The second girl of the old family, the eldest girl and the third girl of the third family, the third girl is only twelve and is not in a hurry, but the front one is fifteen, one is fourteen, and then wait for the big man to find someone else, and she will become an old girl.

But the problem is not his daughter, where does he go to find a good family for his niece? The old man is eyeing him again, how good it is to find your precious eldest son!

He thought so and said, "It's better to wait for the eldest brother to come back and discuss." He works as a bookkeeper in the county seat, and he has a wider range of people than me, and he knows more people. ”

"You mean to let the big girls marry into the county seat?"

It's inflated, Dad, can the girl's family be the same as the boy?

One marries in the door under his nose, whether it is good or not, it can be corrected; If one marries and is lucky, he can go back to his parents' house twice a year, but on the contrary, he will suffer the boss's sin.

It's not that he underestimates his niece, she doesn't look outstanding, and she doesn't have any skills, so she can find a good family in the county. You can't always find an incomplete one, wouldn't it be a mistake for the child's life.

In the blink of an eye, Gu Erzhu quickly shook his head to break his daydream, "Erniu's family, what are the plans of the eldest brother, I don't know."

If I change to my family's treasure, I won't let my daughter climb high if I am killed. What's the use of a son-in-law who can't be handled, it's better to really find a closer look. ”

Gu Laosan, who was also stunned by Lao Tzu's words, nodded hurriedly and echoed the second brother, "That's it, that's the reason, my eldest girl and third girl don't look too far away."

Really, it's better than anything else. As long as the offspring has a good temper, people are diligent. When I turned around, the family was relaxed and gave more children to marry, and my little sister married very well. ”

Old man Gu squinted at his honest third son, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so the pipe in his hand knocked on the side of the table corner, and then kowtowed on the corner of the table.

Nothing more? Gu Erzhu endured it, but he still couldn't hold back his laughter. Otherwise, it's called nonsense and telling the truth, but the old man has nothing to say.

Old man Gu raised his pipe and was about to knock his second son.

Gu Erzhu hurriedly dodged, stood up and left the side of the table and walked out, saying with a smile, "Don't bother the second master, ask the eldest lady first." ”

Gu Sanzhu immediately followed, and at this moment he understood. The second brother means that the relatives of the eldest girl in his family do not need to be discussed with his father, so he should hurry up and inquire about the eldest mother.

The eldest mother helped find someone's house, and the father and mother didn't think about how much the little sister gave as a dowry. What's the matter, the little sister is five taels, the grandson is five taels, and the granddaughter always has a two taels, right?
