When Lin Piao heard the tone of the second aunt, as if this small stove was the junior in the family, he couldn't help but laugh: "It's not cold for a while, and after a while, maybe the autumn tiger will turn around and it will be hot again, and then you will feel that this stove is nothing, and when it gets cold, you will know the good thing about this stove." ”

"If you say it's good, it's good, anyway, this thing will not rot in ten or twenty years after you get it back, so let's use it slowly,"

Sure enough, two days later, the autumn tiger turned back and began the early autumn heat, which made everyone bother to talk about Lin Piao's purchase of the stove, and the autumn harvest began.

On the other hand, Lin Piao received a message from Lin Dazhuang that he was about to get married, and at the end of this month, he invited him to have a drink.

Lin Piao suddenly had a headache, no matter what his relationship with Lin Dazhuang was, no matter how much he usually didn't pull out a dime, but how could he have to pay a lot of money for such a big event as his brother's marriage.

Lin Piaosi considered the possibility of severing relations with him before he got married, and finally decided to eat this wine, no matter how much he hated this kind of scene, no matter how much he hated Lin Dazhuang's family, but Lin Dazhuang was the only eldest brother in the original body.

Just for the real Lin Piao, go drink a glass of his eldest brother's wedding wine, and then return to the bridge and return to the road, and there will be no more connections.

Chapter 43

According to the customs of the village, most of the families could not come up with money, and sometimes they even bartered for weddings and funerals.

Lin Piao and the second aunt discussed this matter, and the second aunt thought for a while: "This year's harvest is good, you send peanuts once it is auspicious, is it auspicious, jujube sheng guizi is a new word, and then send once rice, add some eggs, and seal it with six yuan, and then add a chicken." ”

"No, no, no." As soon as he heard that he was going to send chickens, Lin Piao's head shook like a rattle: "I'd rather give him an extra ten cents to make up 16, and we have to keep the chickens ourselves. ”

The second aunt was also very distressed when she heard the sixteen texts: "Then add a few more eggs to make it whole, there are too many sixteen texts, it's not that I am reluctant, I speak ugly, your eldest brother's family is like flies, as soon as you show a little taste here, they will come up, as soon as they take your money, but if they notice that your hands are a little looser, they will have to pull in the future." ”

Lin Piao heard it one head and two big: "Let's not talk about these first, this pile of things is not as good as the silver money, I don't know how much effort it takes to send it over like this." ”

"It must be difficult to rely on people to pick, use an ox cart to transport it, it just so happens that you also have an ox cart to sit on, otherwise it will take several hours from dawn to noon. Where have you gone so far. ”

At the thought of having to eat a drink and wade through mountains and rivers, I could only cover my face and sigh.

"I hope he will have a good life after he gets married, I heard that he married a girl who had been in the county government, and he must know better and better than him."

"Hopefully."

Lin Piao's side was almost calculated, and a group of people packed up their things and just waited for the day when they went to eat and drink.

The other half of Uncle Qiu's tofu skin has opened, and within a few days, the dried tofu skin in the house has bottomed out, and he takes care of the family's fields and tofu business, and usually goes to Lin Piao's side less, only pinching the time when it is almost time to eat, and helping to clean up after eating.

At this time, he had just sold a few pieces of bean skins, counting copper plates one by one in the house, thinking that he would have to make the next wave of bean skins soon, this time he knew how to do it, and it was not good to trouble Lin Piao and his second sister-in-law to help him everywhere, thinking that when the time came, he would change the time, and after Da Zhuang got out of school, let Da Zhuang help him on the side, pour the beans to catch the water, and finish the work in the evening, so that no one could delay.

He was thinking about it when he heard a knock on the door outside, and Zheng Qiu hurriedly put all the copper plates into his money bag, put them under the pillow, and walked outside to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, it turned out to be Aunt Wang next door.

"Auntie, what's the matter with buying bean skin? Come and sit. Zheng Qiu greeted her warmly.

Aunt Wang sat down in the room: "It's not anything else, Auntie just has something, and I think about it, I feel like I have to talk to you." ”

Zheng Qiu was stunned by her, and his heart became nervous first, "Auntie, you say." ”

"I don't think your tofu business is good, so don't sell it anymore if you sell this wave of handles."

"Why?" Zheng Qiuren was dumbfounded.

"You listen to your aunt tell you, think about it, when your family still had some money, your man always came back to make trouble, snatched the money, and beat your father and son, and there was no peace and no son, why didn't he come back now? Isn't it because you don't have anything at home now? Now that you are doing business and have some money in your hand, don't you want to recruit him back? At that time, it may not be a year and a half to come back, and you can't say that you will come back every month to get the money in your hand. So now, just make a little money, don't think about making more, and spend the money in your hand to buy things for the winter, which is more at ease than anything else. ”

Zheng Qiu was panicked by what she said, he was immersed in the atmosphere of making money and getting better and better, and he had long forgotten that he still had a terrible man behind him, and now when she said this, his face was finally happy and depressed again.

Thinking of his hard work and careful life, if the man who killed a thousand knives suddenly came back, all his efforts and savings would be destroyed.

As soon as Aunt Wang saw his face, she knew that she had listened to what she said: "You think about whether this is the case, you are such a man, you will stay up for the rest of your life, don't think about those nonsense things, who do you say is not boiled out like this, Auntie is more experienced than you, and it is important that you live honestly." ”

Aunt Wang talked for a while, and saw that Zheng Qiu's face was full of nervousness and panic, and she couldn't listen to it: "Forget it, Auntie has said this, go first, you are good." ”

Zheng Qiu sat on the spot and didn't get up to give it off, his head was full of only what to do, Aunt Wang had a point, but he didn't like to give up the matter of making bean skin, he finally had a way to make his life better, why was he ruined because of a man who had not seen a shadow for several years.

Zheng Qiu thought about it, went back to the house, found the money bag, grabbed it in his hand, stuffed it into his clothes, tied the door and went out to find Lin Piao.

He wants to continue to make bean skins, but the money is not safe for him, once his man comes back, there will be nothing, Zheng Qiu can only think of Lin Piao in his head, and he wants to ask Lin Piao to keep the money for him.

He can only trust Lin Piao, not to mention that Lin Piao taught him this craft, even if the money is spent in Lin Piao's hands, he is not wronged, he is willing to give Lin Piaohua and don't smash his man's hand, at least Lin Piao is thinking of them in his heart and looking forward to their well.

Zheng Qiu found Lin Piao in a hurry, and stuffed the money bag into his hand to explain his intentions.

After hearing this, Lin Piao thought for a while, and with the situation in Uncle Qiu's house, this was a good way to avoid danger, and immediately nodded: "This is not a big problem, it's just that you can't let anyone know that your money is with me, I put things at the bottom of the box, usually there are many people in the house here, there are always people watching the house, and it is difficult for someone to get in and steal things, the security is still very high, you put the money here as a piggy bank, I will take a cloth bag that I don't use, and put yours in a corner." ”

As soon as Zheng Qiu heard this, it was as if he had received amnesty, and his tight breath was immediately released, and the worries in his heart disappeared immediately.

Lin Piao frowned here: "And what you said Aunt Wang, it's really not a good thing, Uncle Qiu in the future, don't be anxious when you listen to her, there are always more ways than difficulties." ”

"Don't say that, Aunt Wang is also thinking carefully about me, and she has thought of such things to remind me."

"Is she reminding you, if she is good for you, she should first remind you and then help you think of a way, even if she can't think of a way to help you, she should also advise you to think of a way to deal with it first, instead of telling you not to do it as soon as she comes up, and there is no hope for you to continue to do it.

Zheng Qiu thought about it carefully, but after all, the other party was much older than himself, so it was not easy to blame: "After all, I may not think carefully when I am older, and I will pay attention not to ask her to take her away in the future." ”

Lin Piao shook his head, a lot of money is out of reach, and selling a bean skin to make a few pennies is a mutual harm to the bottom.

"Uncle Qiu, do you have anything else, if you are not busy, sit down, let's roast peanuts and eat them here."

Zheng Qiu nodded, because he was busy doing his own business recently, he hadn't gotten together with his second sister-in-law and Lin Piao for a long time.

"Then you go and sit over there, and I'll pack up your money bag and come over."

The three of them sat together and talked about Lin Piao's going back to his parents' house to eat wine, and Uncle Qiu suddenly remembered: "I'm afraid I'm going to eat this wine too." ”

Lin Piao was shocked: "Are we related?" ”

"It's also far away, it was my father-in-law and mother-in-law who seemed to have a sum at that time, but at that time my man was still there, it was counted on my man's head, just when I was born and strong, your father, it was Lin Yuan, he and Da Zhuang and his father were cousins within three generations, at that time he came to rub a meal, sent some things, at that time he had Lin Chun, and then there was no more happy event in the family, and this love has not been returned."

Lin Piao pressed his temple, oh my God, I was going to faint.

In short, the final result was that Zheng Qiu decided to bring some bean skin over and rub the mat back.

The second aunt peeled peanuts on the side: "Then you bring my family's second pillar over, eat your family's big and strong portion, and by the way, you can also help you two support your waist, in case something happens, you also have manpower." ”

Zheng Qiu thought about it in his heart, this arrangement was very reasonable, and he immediately nodded.

"Piao'er, you go back at night and talk to Shen Hong about this and ask him to approve a leave."

"Auntie, aren't you afraid of delaying Erzhu's class?"

"The matter on your side is important, and it will be delayed for that day a year, so it doesn't matter if you can make a mistake and not let you be bullied over there."

The three of them ate peanuts around the small oven and quickly entered an atmosphere of hatred and hatred.

After dinner that evening, Lin Piao returned to the courtyard and talked to Shen Hong about it.

Shen Hong raised his eyes and looked at him: "I can also accompany my sister-in-law." ”

Lin Piao looked at his expression and stepped forward to touch his head: "As soon as you walk away, everyone will not be able to attend classes, and this will delay your study all day. ”

Shen Hong seemed to think for a moment: "That sister-in-law should go early and return early, don't quarrel with others." ”

Lin Piao's eyes widened and teased him: "I never quarrel with anyone!" Do you think I'm out to cause trouble? ”

Shen Hong's eyes were flustered for a moment: "Hong didn't mean this, he was just worried that his sister-in-law would be in trouble." ”

Lin Piao laughed out loud and reached out to pinch his face: "Tease you, you read well, these things are annoying and annoying, you don't have to worry about it as a child." ”

Shen Hongxiao's face seemed a little helpless, and finally calmed down: "Yes, listen to my sister-in-law." ”

Lin Piao rubbed it again: "What kind of expression are you, you should listen to me, study hard, and come back with a top prize." ”

"Yes."

Lin Piao was ready to eat and drink, and Lin Dazhuang and Lin Er were also ready to get married, because of the chicken and duck incident, Lin Zhou's family said that they didn't want Lin Er's daughter-in-law to say anything, but the things had already been sent out and there was no reason to come back, she wanted to go here, Lin Dazhuang was fighting and scolding her at home, and Lin Yuan was beaten and scolded and scolded, and finally Lin Dazhuang had no choice but to agree to get married first, so that he could get a daughter-in-law and solve his son's lifelong event.

After that, it was the matter of proposing relatives and hiring, and Lin Zhou's said that he would not take out anything again, and he refused to let go of Lin Piao's previous dowry.

Lin Dazhuang couldn't get the dowry several times, and Lin Er's side naturally wouldn't give him a good look, and finally Lin Er inquired several times before he heard that this dowry was originally Lin Piao's dowry, but now he was dominated by his stepmother.

Lin Er herself summed it up, and after sending the dowry over, it was only for his brothers and sisters to use in the future, and she couldn't use it on her own after all, so she might as well not want this dowry first, and make some compromises to make Lin Dazhuang remember that she owed her, and when she got married, she would be the eldest daughter-in-law of the Lin family, and the Lin family had only one daughter-in-law.

Especially this dowry is still Lin Piao's, she thinks in her heart that it is as comfortable as eating Lin Piao's meat.

Thinking like this, she cooperated with Lin Dazhuang, crying and making trouble at home, so that the neighbors knew that she was going to get married, and it was not good to delay it because of the dowry, Lin Dazhuang also promised to subsidize more things for his father-in-law and mother-in-law here in the future, and painted the cake to the future, and Lin Er's father and mother had no other way but to send her out of the door in such a hurry.

On the day of the wedding, Lin Er's father saved a red cloth flower on the donkey cart, Lin Er sat on the donkey cart, and her wedding quilt and clothes were contained in the cage beside her, Lin Er cried under the red hijab, she used to always think that she could carry a big sedan chair eight times, no matter how bad it was, she had to have a small red sedan chair, and marry a rich businessman first-class person, but in this village, let alone a rich businessman, she couldn't even see a landlord, and she chose the most decent person who was only Lin Dazhuang, thinking of the past days in the county government, she really hated Lin Piao to death.

She clenched her fists, thinking that she would be able to see Lin Piao when she arrived at Lin Dazhuang's house soon, and she didn't know what Lin Piao's expression would be when she saw her marrying his only eldest brother, she was looking forward to it when she thought about it.

Before she lifted her hijab, she heard her sister muttering under his hijab: "Their house is not bad, but there are several of them." ”

She sat on the kang and her sister accompanied her, while Lin Dazhuang beckoned everyone outside to prepare for food and drink.

Lin Er lifted her hijab: "You go and look for people outside, is Lin Dazhuang's younger brother Lin Piao here?" ”

My sister listened to her and went outside, and after a while she came back: "I didn't come." ”

"You just went out and found out, didn't you inquire carefully?"

"This Lin Piao can be famous, he used to be a beauty known in ten miles and eight towns, and later he also got a plaque when he came to the county government, and he is famous, if he comes, everyone will definitely go to see it, he will not come yet, naturally everyone knows, speaking of which, second sister, have you seen him when you were in the county mansion before, I heard that the county lord has entertained him a lot, you should have seen it."

"Shut up, you." Lin Er was angry, and she hadn't told anyone that she couldn't do it in the county mansion because of Lin Piao.

After a while, Lin Dazhuang came in to see him, the rules here are not strict, and there is no matchmaker to stop him, he came in and brought her a plate of snacks, saying that he was afraid that she would be hungry, and asked her to pad first.

Lin Er looked at the dry snacks, and felt even more irritable: "It's not better, this thing is choking and panicking." ”

Lin Dazhuang was at a loss, Lin Er asked, he couldn't get a better snack here, and these fruits were all made because of the mother-in-law in Chengqin Village.

"I'll go get you some water."

"Forget it, why hasn't your brother named Lin Piao come yet, he is your dear brother, shouldn't he be the first to come to help pick up his relatives, this is going to eat, what kind of brother is he rushing to eat a meal?"

Lin Dazhuang was embarrassed, and began to complain about why Lin Piao didn't come earlier, which made others look like, thinking that they would have to talk about him when they met later.

Here, Lin Dazhuang was talking to Lin Er in the house, and the people in the village outside were gathering together and discussing.

"Do you think this is Lin Dazhuang marrying well or his brother Lin Piao's side marrying well? You see how prosperous Lin Piao's life is now, Lin Dazhuang, who is the eldest brother, is not as good as Lin Piao. ”

"I think you're saying the opposite, this newlywed couple, Wu Lin'er is from the county mansion, this marriage is not good, is it going to marry the daughter of the heavenly fairy? Lin Piao married a short-lived ghost over there, and the front foot married the back foot person is gone, and there are no elders over there who can take care of it, if I am the father and mother of the Shen family, I can't sink Lin Piao into the pond? It's just that the little uncle in the back has a little hope, but I've never heard of the little uncle living for a lifetime, right? Waiting to see him, Lin Piao's hard days are ahead. ”

"That is, I think Lin Dazhuang is better off than Lin Piao, and if the two of them get the opportunity to live in the county government in the future, it is better to have a pair of children than Lin Piao? Lin Piao's little uncle is promising, even if he is a great talent admitted to the show, can he have a few dollars to give him a brother-in-law with a foreign surname, right? ”

A bunch of people chattered, and finally agreed that Lin Dazhuang was living a more down-to-earth life and had more hope in the future.

As they were talking, there was a commotion outside, and they hurriedly stood up, when they heard someone in front of them shouting: "Yo! Lin Piao is here! ”

Lin Piao walked to the door and looked at the large number of faces rushing up, none of whom he knew.

"You're pretty again."
