Bei Niang came in, Grandma Qi looked over, the third child didn't say nonsense, this girl's eyes were watery, and she could indeed speak.

"Mother-in-law is also a mother, he married your daughter, and he should be filial to you." Grandma Qi gave a promise, they are all people who bury loess in their necks, how could she not understand Bei Lao Niang's motherly heart, "You can rest assured that the girl will not treat her harshly when she marries into my family." ”

Mrs. Pei asked her daughter to go out, took out a piece of paper, and said cheekily: "I asked the old gentleman to calculate the day, and it will be an excellent day in three days, and the weather will be good." ”

Grandma Qi nodded in response.

When she went back from eating, she began to spread out, tearing red cloth to make wedding dresses, the tables and chairs in the old third room had to be replaced with new ones, the mosquito nets were also replaced with red ones, and she had to buy two pairs of red lanterns, two big red wedding candles, and hire a small sedan chair to receive relatives. In addition, it is to invite someone to cook a table of dishes, chicken, duck and fish are indispensable, and these must be bought back in advance.

……

Three days later, the sun was clear and the wind was clear.

Qi Laosan gave red envelopes to his five nephews and nieces as soon as he got up, he changed into a big red wedding dress with a smile, and put down his chopsticks after two mouthfuls of rice.

"This is the love of drinking water! Third uncle, are you so excited that you can't eat? Dongzhu teased loudly.

Qi Laosan laughed a few times and urged: "Eat quickly, when you are full, follow me to pick up the bride." ”

The people who carried the sedan chair had already come, and they took the money and did not let the host take care of the meal, and when they got to the alley, they blew the suona twice first, and when the groom came out, they carried the sedan chair and blew it out of the alley.

Qi Laosan's face turned red under the onlookers of the neighbors, but he still insisted on not bowing his head, looking up and smiling.

Only Haizhu, Dongzhu and Fengping went to pick up the relatives, and the three people who followed them to Houya Village before walked over today, and also saw the bride's face, which was a very delicate face, and a pair of smart eyes were very colorful.

"Get up!" The sedan chair man raised his voice, and the suona sounded.

Haizhu grabbed the peanuts and dried fruits brought to the people who came to see the excitement, and when there were more people, they directly raised their hands and threw them out, and the sedan chair went out of the village smoothly.

When I went back, there was only one more person than when I came, and the people on the road saw that they were going to pick up relatives, and no one stopped the sedan chair to be happy.

When I arrived at the door of the house, there was still half a pocket of dried red dates and fruits, and Haizhu distributed them to the children in the alley.

The sedan chair bearer is gone, the yard is full of his own family, everyone looks at each other, and they are a little embarrassed about such a cold happy event, especially the bride can't speak, which makes the greetings redundant.

"This is your sister-in-law." Grandma Qi pulled Bei Niang to introduce, hugged the four Haizhu sisters and brothers, and said: "These are her children, your eldest brother is gone, she remarried, but she is still a family." ”

Bei Niang smiled at Qin Jingniang.

"This is your second brother, Chaoping is his baby, and your second sister-in-law is gone." This introduction is really unlucky, and Grandma Qi added: "You and the third child have a good life, and my mother wishes you to grow old." ”

Bei Niang nodded.

"Okay, okay, let's have a seat, from today onwards there are many more people in our family." Grandma Qi didn't have much to say.

A table of dishes was served on the table, fried chicken, stewed duck, steamed fish, steamed pork ribs, Chaoping and Pingsheng saw so many delicious foods, and immediately shouted, this is going to be eaten, and the atmosphere on the table is suddenly lively.

The family sat at a table to eat, chatted about gossip after eating, her eyes were scattered, Bei Niang's tense shoulders also relaxed, she ate quietly, occasionally took care of Chaoping and Pingsheng, and when everyone was full, she put down her chopsticks to clean up the dishes.

"You're the bride, today you rest, I'll clean up." Qin Jingniang stopped her, "Third child, take Bei Niang back to the house to rest." ”

"This is our house." Qi Laosan took Bei Niang in.

Grandma Qi sighed in her heart when she heard this, the third child's room was next to Haizhu and Dongzhu's house, the brick house was not very soundproof, and the tossing sound was louder, and the people in the whole courtyard heard it.

Bei Niang changed out of her wedding clothes and wore old clothes to go to the kitchen to wash dishes, but she couldn't stop her, so she could only follow her.

"Haizhu, you and Dongzhu sleep in my room tonight." Grandma Qi whispered to her eldest granddaughter.

Haizhu pondered for a while and understood, "Then let's sleep in another room?" ”

She didn't want to listen to the corners of the wall at night.

Chapter 102: Take a bite

The night breeze is impetuous, Second Uncle Qi lay on the bed and looked at his younger brother who was busy pouring water and wiping the floor, he smiled and said, "Don't be busy, hurry back to the house." ”

Qi Laosan scratched his neck a little shyly, and didn't hold back a sound after a few snorts, he walked out of the door with a basin and a bucket, and skillfully led the door with his feet.

The water was loud, and he heard Dongzhu in the house on the other side of the courtyard wall asking why he was sleeping in the house with his milk.

There were two rooms in this small courtyard near the outer wall, the gate facing the kitchen and the firewood room, and the door opening to the west was a row of three rooms, which would have enough room for so many people in their family. In order to facilitate the care of Second Uncle Qi, Qi Laosan slept on the outermost side of the three connected houses, close to Dongzhu and Haizhu, and the flat house was on the innermost side.

In the past, it was naturally okay to sleep like this, but now that he has married his daughter-in-law, it will be embarrassing at night, even if Haizhu and Dongzhu have moved away, and there is still his second brother living on the other side, Qi Laosan's scalp is numb just thinking about it.

Bei Niang opened the door and came out, the creak of the wooden door reminded Qi Laosan to come back to his senses, he waved her hand to let her in, and he took a shower and went in.

The big red candle in the house burned, and the candlelight illuminated half of the room, and the halo fell on the bamboo mat through the wedding tent, and the pale blue bamboo mat was stained with red light. Qi Laosan entered the door and saw the person sitting in the tent, and with the creak of the wooden door, he felt a bang in his heart.

The courtyard was quiet, Chaoping followed Fengping's sudden laughter to everyone's ears, tonight Qin Jingniang took Pingsheng back to Hongshi Village, and the two brothers slept in the same room.

Late at night, Grandma Qi yawned, listening to the silence next door, she wondered in her heart whether this wall was better soundproofed, or her dumb son was ignorant.

Chaoping was tired of playing with Fengping, and fell asleep, and the courtyard was completely quiet.

Qi Laosan estimated that everyone was asleep, he took off his clothes lightly, and just after two movements, the sound of the wooden bed creaking made him deflated in fright.

"Sleep." He fell down and pulled up the thin quilt, "I'll tell my mother tomorrow that we'll rent a room and move out." ”

Bei Niang blushed and pulled up her belly pocket.

It was late at night, everyone in the family was asleep, even the woman beside him was asleep, Qi Laosan looked at her by candlelight, and after a while, he stepped into bed lightly, and he took out the old bamboo mat he slept on from behind the door and spread it on the ground.

He stared at the dark roof on his headrest and arm, and he should be the only one who slept on the floor on the wedding night.

……

Early in the morning, when the first sound of opening the door sounded, Qi Laosan sat up with a carp, and he put on his clothes and opened the door to go out.

Grandma Qi sat in the yard combing her hair, and when she heard the sound, she looked over, and was surprised that he could still insist on getting up early this morning, or was it ......

There were only the two of them in the yard, and she was not subtle, and asked directly: "Do you know how to round the house?" ”

Qi Laosan: "...... I'm not stupid. ”

"You're not a fool, what are you doing so early?"

"I want to move out and rent a house, Haizhu is a big girl, Dongzhu is not small, I am worried that they will hear the movement, it is very bad." Qi Laosan looked at his mother's face cautiously.

Grandma Qi didn't react, and she also had the idea of letting the three of them move out last night. If this is in his hometown, the third child married his daughter-in-law yesterday and directly married the person back to his own stone house, and the young couple started a fire to live alone.

"Your eldest brother and second brother also built a new house and moved out to live when they married their daughter-in-law, and you should also move out to live when you marry a wife, but the family can't leave you ......"

"I don't plan to leave home, my second brother is the responsibility of my life, and I won't push him to Haizhu to take care of." Qi Laosan raised his fingers and swore, "I moved out to live but didn't leave home, went out to sleep at night, and was at home at other times, washed my second brother at night before leaving, and came over when I woke up in the morning, fetching water, chopping wood, eating, and going out on the boat, how I lived before and how I lived after." ”

"Okay." Grandma Qi nodded, "I'm dragging you down in this regard." ”

"Mother, don't say that, I feel uncomfortable when you say that, as long as my second brother lives, I will be happy to serve him, don't say that he is alone, even if my eldest brother is alive and like him, I am willing to take care of them for a lifetime." Qi Laosan was a little excited, "I am happy if you can use me, if you don't need me, I am just a person who eats white rice to make a little money, what is the strength of this life?" ”

"What did you say? You married Bei Niang and became a family, and you and her will have children in the future......"

"That's another story." Qi Laosan interrupted her, "I just had the idea of marrying her, and I never thought of living my own life behind closed doors, I was born to you, and I was taken care of by my eldest brother and second brother, I am very happy that I have the opportunity to take care of you, don't say it's my drag." ”

Grandma Qi nodded, she stopped talking, she gave birth to a child, she knew that these words were not false, "When you have breakfast, you talk to your family, and then go out to find a house, I'm afraid there is no suitable one in this alley, you can look for it farther away, you can let Bei Niang come here when you go out, and you don't have to worry about someone bullying her." ”

"Okay." Qi Laosan responded.

Haizhu had already woken up, and when the talking outside stopped, she dressed and went out, saying, "I have a house at home, and I go out to rent someone else's house, and I can't spend the money on hand?" Isn't the yard next door still empty? There are pots, stoves, oil and salt, and the two families are close to each other, and they come in a few steps. ”

"That's what you cook, how can you live there?" Qi Laosan subconsciously retorted.

"I don't cook at night to attract diners, you sleep there at night and eat here during the day, it doesn't matter." Haizhu said in a big way, "Just do as I say, you vacate a warehouse for stockpiling, people move in, and things are moved to the room where you sleep, isn't it appropriate." ”

"Then I'll give you the rent."

Haizhu rolled her eyes directly, which door to pay rent, the East House to the West House, "You have money to save by yourself, earn more and save more, in the future, you and my third aunt will buy a house directly in the alley and be neighbors with us." Or buy land and build a house, and when the wind and tide are flat and grow up, marry a daughter-in-law, and move there, after a few decades, our family will also take root in the town. ”

The last sentence inspired Qi Laosan, he was no longer verbose, and he was busy moving after breakfast.

The courtyard here is spacious, and when they don't open the door to do business, they can toss as much as they want when the door is closed. Haizhu walked around the house, a thick layer of fine sand fell on the stove in the kitchen, the blown windows were slanted, and the rain on the ground had not yet dried.

When someone moves in, she doesn't worry about the hygiene here, and with her third aunt's diligence, she can ensure that she cleans up cleaner than herself.

Chaoping is like a happy dog, running from the east courtyard to the west courtyard, and then from the west courtyard to the east courtyard, and a person is also happy.

Haizhu and Dongzhu and Grandma Qi pushed Second Uncle Qi out to look at the vegetable field, they haven't cut leeks for some days, leeks grow green, thick roots and long leaves, and if you don't cut them, you will get old.

"Set up a stall to sell cakes tomorrow, and bring my third aunt by the way." Haizhu put her hand on Dongzhu's shoulder and said, "The third aunt can't speak, when she gets to the street, she pulls bread filling, and you follow Fengping to serve the diners." ”

"Okay, the money from the sale is skimmed off the noodles, meat, oil, and oiled paper, and the rest will be divided equally between the three of us." Dongzhu is very well planned, and it is clearly divided in the money.

Haizhu squatted down to cut leeks and said, "In the future, this cake stall will be handed over to you, and you will be responsible for buying noodles, rice, and meat, and I will give you the rice and noodles that you have bought back at home." ”

"Aren't we taking advantage of it, then?" Dongzhu bit her finger and grinned, she threw herself on Haizhu's back and coquettishly, "Thank you, sister." ”

Haizhu smiled and shrugged her shoulders and shook her, quite numb.

Sitting in the vegetable field and seeing the sea, Grandma Qi went to pick up three stones, and the three grandchildren sat on the stones to choose leeks, so as not to take them back and clean up the miscellaneous leaves. Second Uncle Qi was sitting in a wheelchair, he put a handful of leeks on his legs, and his two hands were chosen quickly, he had already practiced.

He occasionally raised his head to look at the vast sea, and then turned his head to look at his niece and mother who were laughing, and only at this time was fortunate that he was alive and had his family as his companion, and he felt that there was hope for the future, and it was worth the suffering.

The sun rose in mid-air, and Qi Laosan led Bei Niang to find him, followed by three small tails.

"!" Pingsheng shouted loudly.

"Hey, what's wrong? Your mother sent you here and back? ”

"Hmm." Pingsheng rushed over and hugged Grandma Qi's neck, his eyes were bright, and he knew who doted on him the most, so he begged childishly: "Milk, I want to come over to play, can you pick me up?" ”

Grandma Qi understood what she meant, "Okay, I'll take Chaoping to pick you up every morning, and if you don't want to come over, let Chaoping play at your house." ”

Pingsheng nodded heavily and kissed her on the face affectionately, "You're so good." ”

"Shh Dongzhu couldn't see his deceitful face, and said a few times in a strange voice, "You're so good." ”

"Hahaha-" Haizhu was amused by her strange appearance, and commanded Pingsheng to kiss her, "Quick, your second sister is jealous." ”

Pingsheng really pouted and leaned over, and Dongzhu ran away in disgust.

It's so lively, Bei Niang thought to herself, and she watched happily.

After selecting the leeks, the unwanted leek leaves were picked up and sprinkled in the vegetable field to fertilize the ground, Haizhu clapped his hands and led the children to run home first.

Qi Laosan pushed his second brother's wheelchair, Grandma Qi and Bei Niang walked behind with a leek basket, she looked at her little daughter-in-law's thin wrist and said, "It's too thin, eat more in the future and gain weight." ”

Bei Niang smiled and nodded.

"When you come back tomorrow, you will bring a knife of pork and two chickens to your mother, and let her make up for it, and both of you will be thin."

Bei Niang hesitated and continued to smile and nod.

Grandma Qi thought that it was a little good that she couldn't speak, and their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law couldn't quarrel in their lives.
