267 Antiquity with little entertainment
() Zhou Carpenter and his wife not only gave the eldest girl and the second girl New Year's money, but also gave Niu Dali and Li Xianglan a red wedding bag.
As the so-called elders can't be resigned, it is disrespectful, and Niu Dali can't refuse the two old people's intentions, so he has to accept it.
Zhou Huang stroked Li Xianglan's hand, and said with a loving smile: "I hope that the two of you, a hundred years will be together, and the days will be happier and more auspicious, well, it is best to add another person!"
"Mother, grandma told you to give us a brother!" the eldest girl said with a smile.
"Why is it a younger brother, I want a younger sister, I have a younger sister, I can protect her in the future!!" Erya thinks it's better to be a younger sister, and she will be able to take her sister around to play in the future.
"My brother can protect me too!" said the eldest girl.
"It's different, my brother must be very naughty, but Xiao Hei's brother is very naughty, and he always doesn't listen to Xiao Hei. Erya was not convinced.
The two girls argued over their younger siblings.
In normal times, Li Xianglan will definitely teach the two little girls a lesson.
But at this moment, her face was red when she was said, her eyes couldn't help but look at Niu Dali on the side, and she hung her head shyly, and hummed softly.
Carpenter Zhou and his wife glanced at each other, and the corners of their mouths were satisfied with a smile.
"Okay, okay, younger brothers and sisters!" Zhou Huang said with a smile.
After that, Li Xianglan and the eldest girl were helping in the kitchen, and the second girl wanted to help, but Li Xianglan did not allow it.
But this little girl was not happy, and said that she would help Grandma Zhou, Zhou Huang couldn't bear to be unhappy, so he asked Erya to help out in the kitchen, while Carpenter Zhou and Niu Dali were chatting outside the yard.
A table, there is a plate of spiced melon seeds on the table, and the two are talking about things while knocking on the melon seeds, and those who don't know think that this is two fathers and sons.
"Dali, your five-spiced melon seeds taste good, they are more delicious than those tea eggs, are you planning to plant these melon seeds this year?" said Carpenter Zhou, knocking on the five-spiced melon seeds.
"Well, I bought more than 10 acres of dry land and started sowing seeds at the beginning of the year. Niu Dali did not hide it.
"More than 10 acres! Sunflower flowers, I don't know how spectacular!"
Carpenter Zhou sighed, at the beginning, he only planted half an acre, so that many scholars watched, and now he wants to plant more than ten acres of land.
Niu Dali smiled honestly, whether it was magnificent or not, he didn't know, but there must be a lot of melon seeds.
"By the way, I heard that you recently planned to persuade Shi Hu and his mother to agree to Shi Hu's marriage to Widow Sun?" said Carpenter Zhou.
Niu Dali smiled embarrassedly, nodded and said: "Shi Hu's kid likes the Sun family's lady, and I'm afraid that Aunt Wang won't agree, which will frighten her, and you also know the reputation of the Sun family's lady in the village." ”
Carpenter Zhou waved his hand and said: "Where is Shi Hu's mother the kind of person who values reputation, you are young, I don't know that Shi Hu and her mother were famous for their strong temperament in her mother's family when they were young." ”
Niu Dali was surprised, "And this thing!"
However, just think about it, Carpenter Zhou and Wang Shihu's father and mother are the same generation, but I am afraid that when Carpenter Zhou came to marry, he might inquire about the situation of many girls' families.
Carpenter Zhou nodded, and said: "But that's also helpless, Shi Hu's mother's mother's family, her father and mother have a soft personality, and they are pinched to death by her grandparents, and his grandmother is patriarchal, she doesn't treat their sisters as people, and wants to sell them." I remember one time, Shi Hu's mother took a kitchen knife and chased her milk all over the village, saying that if she dared to sell her sister, she would fight with whom!"
Speaking of this, Carpenter Zhou couldn't help but smile and shake his head, "Later, many people said that no one would dare to marry Shi Hu's mother, but who would have thought that Shi Hu and his father would marry him home in less than two years!"
In ancient times, it was generally very eye-catching to reputation, as long as the family conditions were better, naturally they would not marry some girls with a bad reputation, let alone this kind of girl who was disrespectful to the elders.
Niu Dali was curious: "At that time, Shi Hu's grandmother would agree?"
Carpenter Zhou smiled: "Of course I don't agree, it's just that in the end, Shi Hu's father said that if he didn't marry Shi Hu's mother, he wouldn't marry for life, so he finally agreed." ”
Niu Dali also laughed, he didn't expect Shi Hu's family to have this kind of news, and what he didn't expect was that the amiable Aunt Wang had such a fierce deed.
Carpenter Zhou sighed: "That was also many years ago, and later, after Shi Hu and his mother married into our village, she was filial to her elders and helped her brother and sister-in-law. ”
In this way, Widow Sun can really enter Aunt Wang's eyes.
Carpenter Zhou seemed to see Niu Dali's thoughts, and said with a smile: "I think, Shi Hu is just afraid that he will see your intentions earlier, but he doesn't want to name them, when will you tell her clearly?"
Niu Dali was a little dumbfounded when he heard it, but the more he thought about it, the more he agreed with Carpenter Zhou's words.
Wang Shihu bought a piece of land next door to his house and prepared to build a new house, but Aunt Wang actually agreed.
And last time, when their family was making tea eggs, Aunt Wang came several times, said something to come and see, and asked if she needed help.
At that time, how dare he ask Aunt Wang to help with the work, just let her sit in the house.
Could it be that Aunt Wang was watching Widow Sun that time?
If that's the case, it seems that you should hurry up and tell Wang Shihu, don't let Wang Shihu wait.
"Dad, Grandpa Zhou, the meal is ready, it's time to eat!" Erya trotted out of the house and said in a sweet voice.
"Okay, good!" Carpenter Zhou smiled very heartily, and touched Erya's little head lovingly with his hand.
After having lunch at Carpenter Zhou's house, several people chatted together, and did not go home until the end of the afternoon, when the two reluctant Carpenter Zhou and his wife said goodbye.
When he returned home, Niu Dali told Li Xianglan what Zhou Carpenter had said during the day, and after Li Xianglan heard it, her face was full of incredulity like Niu Dali's thoughts.
You must know that Aunt Wang is also well-known in the village for her virtuousness, she is kind and kind, amiable, and never poses in front of her juniors, and when she was in Lao Niu's house, thanks to Aunt Wang's secret help, Li Xianglan was able to survive so many years.
"I didn't expect Aunt Wang to have such beautiful deeds when she was young!" Li Xianglan said with a wry smile.
"I didn't expect it!" Niu Dali also smiled bitterly.
"Brother Dali, you said that Aunt Wang knows what we are doing, should we talk to Shi Hu?" Li Xianglan said.
"In two days, let that kid wait!" Niu Dali said.
In ancient times, there was very little entertainment, except for visiting relatives and visiting relatives, chatting about family life, unlike later generations, surfing the Internet, playing mahjong, and playing poker for several nights.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, also known as the Red Dog Day, everything is not appropriate, in order to avoid evil, few villagers will choose to travel.
However, I think more of the reason is that people are busy from the Chinese New Year to the second day of the new year, and they will choose to rest on this day to make up for the lack of sleep for two days.
