Fang's face darkened every time the matchmaker said something, and her expression changed. Finally, she forced a smile and said, "I'm sorry, auntie, I'll do the sum total first, and then I'll give you an answer."
The matchmaker seemed pretty good, but maybe it was because she had received the reward from Fang, so she seemed a bit considerate when she spoke; "The request from his family is really high. When it comes to purchasing a financial gift, It's reasonable to say that you are not allowed to live in famine, but this house... The person who talks about a good son without a father or a mother is still a country boy. Even a young man in this city, unless there is only one child in the family, no one can provide him with it. Can your son buy a house?"
Mrs. Fang also felt the same and nodded, but it was not convenient to say many things in front of the matchmaker. They exchanged a few words together and sent the matchmaker away. Chapter 282: The wild donkey farted and came back before sighing to Mr. Yang. "Mom, what should I do? It's easy to talk about financial gifts, but buying a house in the city is not that easy."
"It's a long time for a good thing." Yang shook his head and sighed after hearing this. The two discussed for a while, but they couldn't come up with any good solution. They only agreed to hide it from the old man first and wait until Zhu Yongxin came back to think of something together.
After dinner, Mrs. Fang discussed the matter of Liangzi with Zhu Yongxin. Zhu Yongxin was stunned when he heard the conditions proposed by his family and smoked the flue; "Everything else is easy to talk about. Even if we don't have enough money to buy the house, our family can lend it to him first. But now that we are not allowed to cause famine, Liangzi is still an honest child and will definitely not be willing to lie and deceive others, but it will be difficult to handle."
"I heard what the matchmaker meant..." Mrs. Fang sighed and continued, "It seems that Yingshuang's father doesn't like Liangzi, and he was afraid that he would get a bad reputation because he disliked the poor and loved the rich... so he said this deliberately. Making things difficult.”
"Of course it is." Zhu Yongxin sighed and said, "Even if our daughter is marrying, we still want to choose a good and well-off family so that our daughter will not suffer the consequences of marrying in a roundabout way. What's more, she is from the city after all, and Yingshuang is also a decent-looking person. Naturally, I hope for the best."
"Anyway, we have to help Liangzi come up with a good idea." Fang said in embarrassment, but this could not be thought of just by talking. , it was very rare for a while.
After He Hua finished washing the dishes, he came out and heard his parents talking about each other... so he joined in and came up with an idea: "Why don't you, parents, sell our yard to Brother Liangzi directly for the money we bought it for?" Yes, our family now has a shop and can barely live there. It’s not too much trouble to build two more side buildings next to the shop. In the past two years, the money account for selling mushrooms has been taken from me. Thirty taels Brother Liangzi can still get the money."
Zhu Yongxin nodded and said, "This is a good idea. I didn't expect that you don't have to live here as long as there is a place to grow mushrooms.
However, Ms. Fang was still a little worried and said, "It's not very convenient for me to live next door to my father-in-law, especially if Ying Shuang's father turns out to be a snobbery, there will always be friction in the future."
Hehuā was not worried and said, "Even if mother is her own child, you are too worried about her not being with her for the rest of her life. Brother Liangzi is not a stupid person who doesn't know how to deal with things, and as long as his family agrees to the marriage, he will not worry about it." There’s no need to embarrass your son-in-law anymore, right? Besides, if things get better and better in the future, if you don’t get along well, just change places. Now, aren’t we short of money?”
"That makes sense, but I thought too far. I always feel like I'm spending my whole life here, so I have to be more careful." Fang nodded, "I'll be busy with bringing Bo Kai back home tomorrow. Go find Liangzi and figure this out."
Because after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, classes started in the academy, so Boning and Shuanzi were sent back to the village. There were Zhi'er at home to take care of them, and there were Mr. Fu and Sister Zhu at the academy, so naturally there was nothing wrong with them. Don't worry. Zhu Laosi and his wife drove their car to the city before dawn on the seventeenth day of the first lunar month and arrived at the door at dawn.
When Yang met, he said angrily, "It's such a cold day. Not to mention that I came here in the afternoon yesterday. What would happen if I fell while driving in the dark in the morning?"
"Mom, we know that second brother has no place to live here. I had to fight with you all the way up to noon yesterday. It's better to get up early. It didn't snow today and the road is not difficult to walk." Zhu Laosi smiled. Entering the room, he said, "Second sister-in-law, make more breakfast and give me some wine by the way."
Mrs. Lin entered the house and greeted the old man, then went to help Mrs. Fang cook. The whole family had breakfast. When it was daylight, Bo Kai led his new daughter-in-law to the door to invite An to kowtow.
It was not easy for the elders to go out to greet him, so Bo Rong and Xiaoxiu went out to greet him and said, "Cousin, cousin, come in quickly, everyone at home is waiting!"
Xiaoxiu also stretched out her hand to pull her new daughter-in-law in. After entering the house, she saw the old man sitting at the head of the table. Old Zhutou and Mr. Yang were sitting next to him, followed by Mr. Zhu, Mr. and Mrs. Zhu Yongxin and Mr. Zhu. Four couples.
Bo Kai and his new wife came forward to kowtow together, and then the new daughter-in-law took the tea from Xiaoxiu's hand, raised her hands in front of the old man and said, "My great-grandson's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Chen, happened to meet my grandfather and kowtow to my grandfather!"
"Okay, good boy!" Mr. Zhu reached out to take the tea cup, took a sip, took out the red envelope from his sleeve and handed it to Chen Qiaoran. Then she kowtowed to the elders below and offered tea, and finally greeted her peers. After the ceremony, the room became lively. Standing up, Ms. Yang took Chen Qiaoran's hand and looked up and down. Seeing that her face was round and fair, her cheeks were flushed, and her figure was plumper than Xiaoxiu's, she thought she looked well-born, so she held her hand with satisfaction. "We are a family now that we are here. Your father-in-law and brother-in-law are both in the country, and you two live in the city, so it saves worry and effort, but you two have to support yourself at home and outside. I can’t praise my Bo Kai, but she’s not bad-hearted. Living a life requires two people to be considerate of each other. My family is not a troublesome person. As long as you two live well, that’s the best.”
"Yes, grandma, my granddaughter-in-law will definitely remember your words, and she will take care of the housework at home and live a harmonious life." Chen Qiaoran said with a blushing face and lowered her head.
Mr. Fang and Ms. Lin also said a few auspicious words on the spot, and everyone had lunch in peace. Bokai and his wife went home. I wish the eldest brother and his wife, the fourth and fourth, returned to Qijia Village. In fact, Mrs. Yang couldn't live in the city anymore. In the past, in the village, she was very familiar with rabbit trapping. You make one too.”
Hehuā repeatedly waved her hands and said she didn't want it. Making one as a gift to Yingshuang was just her intention, but making two would probably be a disaster. However, she also knew that if she told Liangzi the truth, his straightforward mind would not believe it. Then he made an excuse and said, "I don't want to wear that thing. I didn't even bother to wear it when my mother made it for me when I was a kid. It always felt stuffy and uncomfortable... It was a waste of money to give it to me."
After sending the old man, Zhutou and Yang back to the old courtyard in the village, life in the city got back on track. They planted mushrooms and opened a shop without delay. Bo Kai also came to help in the shop, and his original arrogant temper calmed down a lot. , the family is harmonious, and life is going smoothly. In a blink of an eye, spring is coming, and summer is gradually approaching.
Qi Jintang had come back from the south, and he bought something and came to express his gratitude. Hehuā only went out to say goodbye. Sun Jianyu came a few times, but Hehuā was always not as lively as before. She couldn't tell what she was thinking. , but the feeling of no separation in the past is gone, and I always feel awkward when meeting. In addition, Fang said that girls should show less publicity when they get older, let alone not be as taboo as when they were young, so people become more and more calm.
Before summer came, Sun Jianyu renovated the shop at the night market, and arranged for a second shopkeeper from home to be the shopkeeper. He also hired a few waiters to open the ice water shop, which still had He Ji's name on it. Seeing that it was still a 50-50 split, He Hua was a little more attentive than before. He looked for some recipes and asked Dr. Zheng to check whether there was any conflict, so he made a few ice water toppings such as honey-soaked huā petals. .
It seems that God has mercy on us. The weather this year has been very hot very early. The rural areas surrounded by mountains and rivers are slightly better. The sun is shining brightly in the city, making the whole city as hot as a steamer. The ice water business has improved early. He got up, but Bo Rong still had to study hard on a hot day, and Fang was very worried. She asked Zhu Yongxin to go to the academy several times every day, delivering meals and ice water during the day, and soup and midnight snacks at night. Xiaoxiu was But she was pregnant again, and Mrs. Fang became even more busy like a top. She couldn't stop spinning from morning to night, trying to recruit people for the shop.
Bokai took the initiative to ask Qiaoran to come to the shop to help. Fang quickly said that he would pay monthly as per the recruitment process, but it turned out that less than half a month after the job was completed... Qijia Village sent news of the death of Bokai's grandmother, Zhu Yongxin He hurriedly closed the shop and led his family and Bo Kai back to the village. It was very time-consuming to send news back and forth, and by the time he returned home it was already the second day after his death. A filial piety shed was built in the yard of Li's family... Carrying a white streamer and a white cloth, Bo Kai and Qiao Ran got out of the car and went to change into their hemp clothes. They took the filial piety belt and tied it on. They entered the house and saw the body of Old Mrs. Li placed head-to-toe in the coffin, with a covering on her body. Wear longevity quilt. Bo Kai had been favored by the elders of the two families since he was a child, so he had a serious affection for Mrs. Li. He took two steps forward, fell to his knees and burst into tears.
Qiao Ran also knelt beside him and sobbed softly, wiping her tears with a handkerchief. Her round eyes were as red as a rabbit from crying... I don't know if she was really crying or if there was something on the handkerchief, but I think she and Mr. Li The wife is only acquainted with her once, how can we have any friendship even if we are in acquaintance with each other? It's just to save face.
Zhu Yongxin led the whole family to kowtow, and the Li family members also kowtowed in return and said a few words of comfort... They all wiped their tears along with them. , the nose can't help but feel sore, and the eye circles are also hot. On such an occasion, even strangers will inevitably be moved when they look at it, let alone their own children.
That night after dark, we had to go to the intersection to burn food... Most of the people in Qijia Village came out to help... Even if they didn't extend their hands, it would be more popular. At the intersection, there was a paper cow as big as a real cow... There were three paper figures on the back. There were also paper money and paper ingots, and there were even more piles at the feet of the cow. A funeral organizer muttered a few words in front of him. The eldest son of the Li family also stepped forward and said, "Mom, Southwest Road, Mingguang Avenue, there is a big road. Don’t take small roads, but take the middle of the three main roads. If you are intercepted, use the road as evidence.”
All the children wearing sackcloth and mourning knelt down behind the cow. Zhang Luo flashed the fire folds and lit the paper money. Suddenly there was a burst of crying. While crying, he shouted: "Mom, I gave you money." "Milk," I gave you money."
The fire soared into the sky, and soon it was reduced to ashes swirling in the wind. There was a vigil at night, and Zhu Yongxin and Lao Si both accompanied Boss Zhu and the Li family, just waiting for the funeral on the morning of the third day.
As the saying goes, everything comes to an end after death. Regardless of whether people in the village are close friends or not, they may still be divided on happy events, but when it comes to funerals, everyone will do their best to help.
Although the Li family members all looked tired, they did not look sad, especially the daughters-in-law and grandchildren, who were all standing aside talking to people they knew well in the village... Hehuā actually saw someone talking in a continuous line. With a smile, he couldn't help but reach out to pull Fang's sleeves and said, "The Li family is really good. The old lady still has the energy to joke when she is gone. This is still like this before the death... I can't tell what is good at ordinary times!"
Mrs. Fang hurriedly told Hehuā not to talk here, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
Not long after, most of the village gathered. The coffin had already been laid and placed in the courtyard, and the ropes and poles around it were all ready. They were just waiting for the filial son and grandson to kowtow in front of the bed when the calculated time came. Gold and silver coins were stuffed under the armpits, the shrouds and quilts were arranged, the body was moved into the coffin, and the quilt covering the face was lifted to let relatives see each other for the last time.
Immediately, the wails started suddenly, and several daughters-in-law threw themselves on the coffin almost sobbing and howling. The people supporting them behind seemed to be unable to hold on, crying about mother-in-law, sons. He was quite calm and only raised his hands to wipe away his tears. Boss Zhu seemed to be crying a little emotionally.
Mrs. Fang led several children to stand at the back of the crowd. He Hua heard someone behind her murmuring softly: "A son cries in a shocking way, a daughter cries sincerely, a daughter-in-law cries in a loud voice, and a son-in-law cries like a wild ass's fart..." ..."! ! !
