Chapter 7079 Tankou Feng
Although it was their first time to match up, Xiaohua and He Lianer worked well together.
The main reason is that both of them have very gentle personalities and are careful and diligent in their work.
Xiaohua entered the kitchen partly because she was a junior, so when the elders were chatting together, she should come and help, otherwise all the meals for so many people would fall on He Lian'er alone. The body is too tired and it wastes time.
On the other hand, Da'an also asked her to come over and feel out He Lian'er's temperament in private, and observe things like cooking and doing things to see if this girl is really like Xiao An. Pretty much the same description.
So Xiaohua has a heavy responsibility. While working, she takes the initiative to talk to He Lian'er. The sound of pots and pans in the kitchen is also accompanied by the two talking and laughing. In the He family's courtyard today, Everything inside and outside is filled with a long-lost excitement!
Yang Huazhong found an opportunity, sent Daan and Xiaoan away, and went to the warehouse with his father alone to check the rice and grain supplies. The two fathers chatted together for about two bowls of tea. of effort.
As for the Sun family, when He's mother accompanied her to the street outside the courtyard, she tactfully mentioned the marriage issue of the two children to He's mother.
This is what Mrs. Sun asked Mother He:
"Sister, how old is your Lian'er this year? She looks fifteen or sixteen, right?"
"Sister-in-law, my Lian'er is already sixteen."
"Well, I guess it's pretty much the same. This girl, Lian'er, is handsome, hard-working, and has a good temperament. She looks very rare at first glance. I think you will come. There are a lot of matchmakers in the family, right? "
When it came to this, Mother He waved her hand, "There are some, but none of them are successful. "
“Why? The conditions of those boys are not that good?”
“That’s not true, there are boys who are pretty good in all aspects, just use this street to protect the family. It’s not bad for my nephew, but my family’s situation is different from other families. Lian’er’s marriage may be a bit difficult! "
While Sun was testing He's mother, He's mother was actually testing Sun.
“If my Qingsong was still here, Lianer would have just married a similar husband. But Qingsong is gone and there is no one to support the family. We are left with Lianer, our only daughter. I definitely want to keep her by my side. When we get old, sick, or die, at least there will be someone to take care of her. Is that right?”
Ms. Sun nodded repeatedly, “Yes, yes.”
“Hey, your daughter is rare these days, but isn’t her son too? Are you willing to give your son to your family? Sister-in-law, do you think so? "
Ms. Sun smiled dryly.
"Yes, and no."
"Sister-in-law, what do you mean by this? My sister is stupid and can't understand it well."
Sun smiled and said, "I listen to my family. Qing'er said that there are some families in Jiangsu and Zhejiang who have only one son and one daughter. Both of their families were well off, but they were reluctant to let their children go to other people's homes, so someone came up with a method called two-end marriage. "
"Two-end marriage? The meaning was probably told to He’s mother.
This is the first time He's mother has heard this statement. So it turns out that marriage can be done by two families?
"Sister-in-law, although what you say sounds nice, why do I still think that in the eyes of the world, two-person marriage is just a self-deception? By then, where there are more young couples living, it won't be the people from that side. ""Sister, my sister-in-law said something from the bottom of my heart when I don't see you outside," Mrs. Sun took Mother He's hand, her face full of tenderness.
“For a daughter-in-law family like ours, even if you recruit a husband-in-law, do you want to find a husband-in-law for our daughter Lian’er who suits her needs?”
Mother He nodded without hesitation, "Of course, even though we keep saying They said they would support us until they die, but they are the young couple sleeping on the same bed. If Lian'er doesn't like it and their life is miserable, how can we, the old couple, be comfortable watching? Satisfied, she needs a good husband herself! "
Sun smiled and followed what Yang Ruoqing taught her word by word before coming to Qing'an County and then guided He's mother:
"Sister, we are all mothers, I understand your heart. , But do you think there is anything so perfect in this world? "
"Sister-in-law, what do you mean by this? Isn't my Lian'er good enough? Or is my family so poor that my husband comes to support us? "
"Sister-in-law, Xiao An must have told you that my family has this amount of money now. If our husband comes to our house, we don't want him to support us. Will in turn supplement them."
Sun smiled and shook her head: "Lian'er is good, it's really good."
"I also know your family's family background."
"But sister, no matter how good your family's family background is, can it be better than those of the wealthy families and gentry families in Changhuaizhou?"
He's mother thought Don't shake your head directly, "How can it compare? We are just a small and well-off family."
"That's right. I heard my Qing'er and Da'an come back and say, Whenever the imperial examination results are released, the wealthy families and gentry families in Changhuaizhou will list their son-in-laws and choose a suitable husband for their daughters. But even then, they will not be able to do so, because this is the way of the world. Anyone who has some ambitions Boys are not willing to be someone's son-in-law. They all want to get a wife and have a long life. "
"Ah..." Mother He's face looked a little gloomy.
Sun was cruel and continued to give strong medicine: "As for those men who are willing to be door-to-door sons-in-law, I have to put it bluntly, they are lazy guys who have no ability, are lazy and want to enjoy the benefits,"
"In our farmer's house, there are also many cases of recruiting son-in-laws. If you want to A girl with a score of 70 or 80 points in our family can marry a husband with a score of 10 or 30 points if she marries outside. The number of people who can recruit a son-in-law is only 20 or 30 points. Let's talk about it, what a wonderful girl, so plump and graceful, the husband she attracted was ugly, short, drunk and gambling, It's so delicious and lazy to cook. In the past few years, my father-in-law was still in good health, but I could still suppress it. Later, my father-in-law got older, wow, wow, he turned over. That was because he treated the old man harshly and beat his wife. The poor girl threw herself into the river twice and didn't die. , everyone in the village advised them to make peace, but they couldn’t leave, because they wanted to have a father for their two children. I can only grit my teeth and endure it..."
"Sister, tell me, is it worth it for our beautiful daughter to let him sleep and let him spend money, just to borrow money to support his family? "
Sun's words were like a hammer, hitting Mother He's heart one after another.
Mother He's face completely changed, looking bleak and gloomy.
"Sister-in-law, what you said has touched my heart. There is a saying that men are afraid of getting into the wrong profession and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man. What I fear most is that my Lian'er meets someone unkind and Qingsong is gone. Her father and I are getting old, and there won’t even be anyone to support her in the future..."
Tears fell down as she spoke, and Mrs. Sun quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe away Mother He’s tears.
She was the most disgraceful person to cry. As soon as He's mother cried, Sun forgot all the lines that followed. She just went about her busy house and tried to comfort He's mother not to cry.
So much so that when He Lian'er's voice came over there, it turned out that dinner was about to begin, and Mrs. Sun here had not even had the chance to reveal her ultimate goal - Xiao An could marry both of them.
