After washing the tub, Shen Ruolan and Zhang Eryong walked home together. Halfway there, Shen Ruolan stopped, took out a few blueprints and ten taels of silver, and handed them to Zhang Eryong.
"Brother Eryong, when you pass by Harahai tomorrow, help me find that blacksmith Chen to type these out. You tell him that I am not in a hurry to use them. If you want him to make them fine, they must be in accordance with the size marked on me. Do it, there can be no deviation, money is easy to talk about, if these are not enough, I can add more to him."
Zhang Eryong looked at the large silver ingot weighing twelve taels, and hurriedly said: "The money is not needed, Master Chen's price is very fair, and you don't need much material for this little thing, one or two and a half taels is enough. "
In fact, Zhang Eryong wanted to pay for her to do it, maybe they are now a fiancé couple, and if she needs to spend money to make something, he, his fiancé, should help her spend money.
However, Shen Ruolan didn't give him a chance, and stuffed the silver into his hand, "You can take it if you give it to you, I use less materials for the things I make, but it's because I use too few materials that I give people high prices." Well, how many such precision things can be made in the whole country? I would be grateful if they would take my job. Don’t bargain with them. Give them as much as they want, as long as If I can make things according to my drawings, I am willing to take them out again.”
Under Shen Ruolan's insistence, Zhang Eryong had no choice but to put away the silver and the drawings.
However, holding the heavy ingot of silver, Zhang Eryong felt a lot of pressure. Ruolan is so capable and rich, so she took out the ten taels of silver casually. Hearing her words, it seems that she still has a lot of money in her hand. , he has to work harder to match her!
After arriving home, Zhang Xingwang saw them coming back, exchanged glances with Shen Dejian, and said to Zhang Eryong, "Er Yong, before you came, your grandson asked us to go and see your third sister. It just so happened that you came back, let's go together Go see her."
The "Your Third Sister" that Zhang Xingwang refers to is Guishengzi's wife. She was originally a girl from Taohua Village. Speaking of which, Zhang Eryong should really call her 'sister', but the two families are not good enough to visit each other in the New Year's Eve.
Zhang Eryong knew what his father meant, put down the tub, blushed and agreed, and the father and father said goodbye together and went out.
Shen Dejian and Shen Ruolan sent the two of them out of the gate, before returning to the house, Shen Dejian excitedly said to Shen Ruolan: "Lan Ya, Dad wants to tell you something."
Shen Ruolan smiled and said, "Coincidentally, I also have something to tell you."
"Then, you talk first." Shen Dejian loved his daughter very much, and when the father and father had something to say, it was natural for her to speak first.
Shen Ruolan looked at his wet hair, and said with a smile, "Let's go back to the house first, your hair has just been washed, it's so cold outside, it will be bad if you catch a cold."
Shen Dejian stroked the hair on his head that was not yet dry, and said with a smile, "When the hair dries later, Dad, if you want to go around the village, let them all see Dad's new clothes. These are my daughter's clothes." I made it, pure cotton, and I had to show it off."
The father and daughter entered the room talking and laughing, and after sitting down, Shen Ruolan said to Shen Dejian straightforwardly, "Father, I want to buy Shouya and her sisters."
"What? Buy Shouya...them?"
Shen Dejian was stunned. A few days ago, he was still struggling to get enough food and clothing, relying on relief from the old Zhang's family! It's only been a few days, and the family is about to buy someone, and he still buys four at a time, he can't accept it...
"Yes, just buy them all." Shen Ruolan sat on the edge of the kang, poured a glass of water for his father, and said slowly, "Shen Dachui and the others are too inhumane. Today I heard from Zhaodi that they actually I want to sell their sisters to a brothel, and even collect the deposit. If they go to that kind of place, will they still be okay? How will they behave in the future? So, I want to buy them back. It is to save them, and besides, they can also help our family with some work... "
"However, if you buy four girls at once, I'm afraid you will get a lot of money?" Shen Dejian hesitated, "Besides, didn't you say that they even took the deposit? If you go back on your word, you will definitely have to double the compensation. Our family I don’t have that old money now!”
"You don't have to worry about the money, I'll pay for it, you just go and talk to them!"
As Shen Ruolan said, she got up and went back to the house, took out a bulging purse, walked to the edge of the kang, untied the purse, and fell on the kang with a "crash", and immediately, large and small pieces of money rolled A kang, the money was given by the guests when she sang in Ruanxiang before.
Shen Dejian looked at the old money in surprise, and then at the girl, darling, where did this girl get the old money, he has never seen so much money in his life, okay
Shen Ruolan said: "You take the money, and you can just buy people later. No matter what, you must buy them back. The skinny girl was injured by Shen Dachui, and she couldn't get up when she was lying on the kang. I want to take her back to recover from her injuries as soon as possible, otherwise she will stay in that kennel, and she will be angry if she can't eat or sleep well, and it will be bad if something happens."
"Uh... done!"
Shen Dejian agreed, but stopped talking.
The sum of these old coins is about thirty or forty taels. Where did this kid get all this old money
Shen Ruolan seemed to see what he was thinking, and explained simply, "The money came from the right way, so you don't need to think too much, let alone worry."
"Uh, Lanya is really capable..."
Shen Dejian was amazed, this girl of his is so powerful, she earned so much money without making any noise, this old money, in the past, he would not have been able to earn it all his life, she seems to have earned it without any effort , so capable, even he, a father, couldn't help being in awe of her!
"By the way, don't you have something to tell me? What's the matter?" Shen Ruolan put all the money into his purse and handed it to his father.
When she mentioned it, Shen Dejian suddenly remembered the serious matter, and immediately opened the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "Look at Dad's memory, he almost forgot the most important thing, what Dad told you is a good thing , a great thing."
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and purposely kept it off, "Guess, what did you, Uncle Zhang, come here just now?"
Shen Ruolan said without thinking, "Aren't they going to Jizhou tomorrow? They came to say goodbye to you?"
"Wrong, your Uncle Zhang is here to propose marriage to you on behalf of Er Yong!" Shen Dejian said the answer with an excited look on his face.
Propose marriage
This time it was Shen Ruolan's turn to be dazed. Didn't she tell that silly boy that she was going to recruit a wife? What is he doing again
Shen Dejian seemed to see what his daughter was thinking, he chuckled, and said, "Your Uncle Zhang said, let Er Yong come to our house, but the reputation of recruiting is too bad, if you really let Er Yong be the son-in-law, He can't afford to be a straight man in this life. In the future, your children will also make people laugh. It's better to wait until you get married and they will separate immediately. When the time comes, you and Er Yong will come back and live with me. This has nothing to do with marrying What's the difference, Er Yong doesn't have to bear such a bad reputation, how nice..."
"Father never dreamed that you, Uncle Zhang, could be so enlightened..."
"Lan Ya, Dad thinks this is a good thing. Er Yong is a simple, honest, down-to-earth kid who is willing to work hard. Look at the young people in our village, or the surrounding villages. How can anyone catch up with him? In terms of strength , in terms of ability, appearance, Er Yong is top-notch in everything, you can marry such a person, dad is really happy from the bottom of his heart!"
Shen Ruolan lowered her head, pursed her lips and chuckled, it seems that that silly boy really fell in love with her, otherwise he would not be willing to separate from his parents, leave the village where he was born and raised, and ignore the eyes of the world, with She went to her mother's house to live...
Shen Dejian continued to babble, "What are you thinking? Are you happy? Then the two of you will come back to listen to the letter in a while, so why don't you tell Dad first, even though the two of them have saved my life? Well, father is also optimistic about Er Yong, but if you are not willing, father will not force you... "
"Father, I'm willing." Shen Ruolan raised her head and repeated, "I'm willing, but I'm not ready yet, so I can only get engaged first. If their old Zhang family is willing to wait, I agree!"
Zhang Eryong is good, no need for his father or others to say it, Shen Ruolan has seen it and felt it herself, of course she is willing to find such a man as her husband, and what makes her most heartwarming is that after getting married, she doesn't have to Living with his wife is so perfect, how could she not want to
"Oh, are you willing? That's great!" Shen Dejian was also happy to slap his thigh, "My daughter is really discerning, Er Yong is a good guy, you will definitely enjoy happiness in the future. Oh, just wait, Dad go Call them back."
"Hey dad, your hair is not dry yet, why go out and freeze it?" Shen Ruolan grabbed the happy old dad, and said jokingly, "It's not like your daughter can't get married, so you need it Are you going to catch up with me? We are women, so we should hold on to it anyway."
"That's right, we are women, so we have to hold it up a little bit." Shen Dejian laughed, and sat back on the Kang Yan'er again, with his back straight, trying to put on the airs of an old man, and he felt happy in his heart Flowering... ...
Zhang Eryong and his father didn't go to Gui Shengzi's house at all, they just went out for a walk, giving Shen Dejian and Shen Ruolan a space to talk.
After about a stick of incense, the father and father came back again.
When he entered the hospital, Zhang Eryong was very scared. He was both excited and scared. He was afraid that Ruolan would reject him. She was the first girl he fell in love with in his life. He liked her so much that he was willing to marry his parents for her Separated, he is willing to live with her in her natal family, and he doesn't care about the worldly eyes, as long as he can marry her, he will be content in this life!
I'm just afraid that she won't want to. If she doesn't want to, what should he do...
His father was not nervous, he looked like an old god who was sure of winning.
After entering the room, before he could speak, he saw Shen Dejian's smiling face like a flower, and the two of them immediately understood everything.
At that moment, Zhang Eryong only felt as if in a dream, with colorful flowers blooming around him, and he was bathed in a sea of flowers, so happy that he didn't know what to say...
Zhang Xingwang laughed loudly, "Brother Shen, should I call you in-laws now? Shouldn't we brothers have a good drink today?"
"Well, it's time to drink two glasses to celebrate!" Shen Dejian also laughed and responded loudly.
He hasn't touched alcohol for several months. In the past years, he couldn't do without alcohol for a day, but during the few months in prison, his alcohol addiction was curbed. After he came out, he deliberately avoided drinking. I don't stick to it, I just want to be a good father.
It's just that I'm so happy today, my daughter's life-long event has been settled, and it's decided to make him so happy, so he can't help but want to drink to his heart's content, and get drunk!
"Er Yong, go and buy some wine, and come back with some vegetables, let's celebrate well!" Zhang Xingwang ordered loudly.
"Why-"
Zhang Eryong glanced at Shen Ruolan's room, and ran out with the corners of his mouth on his lips.
Shen Ruolan sat in her room, listening to the movement outside, she couldn't help laughing.
In fact, she really wants to go out and see what that silly boy looks like now, and interview him, what mood is he in now
It's just that, as an ancient girl, you must have the minimum reserve. After getting engaged, you can't wait to see your fiancé, which will make people feel frivolous, belittled, and gossip. Although she has no intention of being shy at all, she I had no choice but to sit in my room and pretend to be shy and a lady.
**
There is a small grocery store in the back of the mountain. It sells some oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, needles, thread brains, water, wine, food and other things that can be stored for a long time. After inquiring, I found the grocery store.
At that time, there were no customers in the shop, just a few old ladies in the village chatting there while feeding shoe soles. After Zhang Eryong went in, he bought a small jar of rice wine, a fat goose, a catty of dried mushrooms, and some I ordered some melon seeds and peanuts.
Later, when she saw rock candy for sale in the shop, thinking that she would be willing to eat it, she bought another catty of rock candy.
The grandma who sold the goods saw that he was spending a lot of money, so she smiled and said, "Did you come to our village to escape? Which relatives are you? Are you so polite?"
Zhang Eryong pursed his lips, and said with a somewhat proud expression, "Ma'am, I'm from Taohua Village, and today I'm engaged to Lanya from your village. I bought these for the engagement banquet."
Although he is not a person who likes to show off, at this moment, he wishes that everyone in the village would know that he is engaged to Shen Lanya, and that Shen Lanya is his wife!
Shen Xiuyun, who was sitting on the side holding the soles of her shoes, immediately raised her head when she heard this, and said in surprise, "You are the second boy of the old Zhang family? Are you engaged to Lan Ya?"
Someone pointed at Shen Xiuyun and said to Zhang Eryong: "Aren't you engaged to Lan Ya? This is Lan Ya's eldest aunt, and also your uncle and mother-in-law."
Zhang Eryong didn't know about the conflicts between Shen Ruolan and Shen Xiuyun, and he respected Shen Xiuyun as an elder, and said respectfully, "Hi aunt, you and uncle will go eat together later, I bought so many Woolen cloth."
Shen Xiuyun laughed dryly, "Hehe, I won't go, there is still a lot of work waiting for me at home."
Saying that, he greeted those old women, got up and left.
Zhang Eryong finished shopping, paid the money and went out.
Walking outside, Zhang Eryong saw Shen Xiuyun before taking a few steps, and greeted Shen Xiuyun politely, "Auntie, why don't you come over to eat before you finish your work, I bought so many things, I will pack them up in a while It’s not over, when you finish working on that side, we’re almost done on this side.”
Shen Xiuyun was actually waiting here on purpose for Zhang Eryong. Hearing what Zhang Eryong said, she smiled and said, "You are really a good kid. Thank you, auntie, but auntie won't go. Save Lan Ya from feeling unhappy."
Speaking of this, anyone with a long head could tell that Shen Ruolan had conflicts with her aunt, Zhang Eryong was startled for a moment, not knowing what to say.
Shen Xiuyun glanced at Zhang Eryong, pretending that I was doing it for your own good, and said, "I think you are a good kid, so I will ask you a little more. Before you got married with Lan Ya, you asked about Lan Ya's character." Is it? It stands to reason that they are all one family, and I can't say whether she is right or wrong, but I still advise you to go back and inquire carefully. After all, marrying a wife is a lifetime thing, but you can't be careless. Don't know it before marriage. Listen to it after marriage. If it sounds bad, then our two sides are not married, but enmity."
Zhang Eryong's face turned cold. It seemed that this old woman had a grudge against Ruolan, and she deliberately blocked him from speaking ill of Ruolan here.
"Can you not inquire about such a big matter as marrying a daughter-in-law?" Zhang Eryong's voice was chilly, "Everyone says that Lanya is a good girl, she is beautiful and kind-hearted, except for a few elders who don't care about her, she has nothing wrong with her. No."
After finishing speaking, he strode away with his things in his hands without even looking at Shen Xiuyun.
"Hey, what are you talking about, kid!"
Shen Xiuyun failed to steal the chicken, but Zhang Eryong gave her a good meal when she failed to provoke her. She was so angry that she blushed and cursed at Zhang Eryong's back: "I don't know what is good or bad. Picking up a broken shoe is still a treasure." !"
In Shen Xiuyun's consciousness, Shen Ruolan's mother just ran away with someone, she is a dishonest broken shoe, and if there is a broken shoe mother, her daughter's reputation will naturally be over. She thought that Shen Ruolan would never be able to marry in this life, but no Cheng thought that she was actually engaged now, and her son-in-law looked at her rather rare, which made Shen Xiuyun depressed.
Si Lanya not only framed her, but also put a shit bowl on her head, she didn't want her to have such an easy time.
However, thinking of the seven-dollar IOU, she didn't dare to do anything blatantly. She wandered around the door of Shen Ruolan's house twice, but she didn't dare to go in. Then she ran to her mother's house and told her about it. My wife is Liu.
"Mother, do you think my second brother has gone against the sky? Lan Ya is your own granddaughter. He didn't even ask you about such a big matter of engagement. He just gave his daughter to you when he was alone. It's decided to go out, how can he be such a son?"
Mrs. Liu pulled her old face, and said gloomyly: "Huh, how can this little bastard still have my mother in his heart? He has long held grudges against me. Back then when his wife ran away, he didn't blame his adoptive man." The wife is unscrupulous, and it's all the old lady's fault. She said that I teased his wife and always let her work. I have a conscience, and I beat his wife a few times, so how could I beat her away? Who Doesn’t the mother-in-law beat her daughter-in-law? What’s wrong with me as a mother-in-law who beat her a few times? Besides, what’s wrong with making her work? Who doesn’t work? Can't let her work?"
"Mother, don't talk about these old sesame seeds and rotten millet, think about what to do now?" Shen Degui interrupted his mother's words impatiently.
Hearing that Lan Ya was engaged, Shen Degui was so distressed as if he had lost several taels of silver. He never gave up the idea of selling Shen Ruolan, even if his brother came back, the idea never stopped.
But now, his brother has actually booked Shen Ruolan out, which is equivalent to losing several taels of money. Can he not be in a hurry to get angry
"What should we do? What else can we do? If the father and father are willing, what else can we say? Besides, the families are separated, and it's their own business to live well, and we can't get involved with them. "
With the experience of being face-saving last time, Mrs. Liu has learned to be smart and doesn't want to get involved in the affairs of the second child's family anymore.
She also saw that the second child and that dead Lanya were both disrespectful and unfilial, and they didn't take her as an old man seriously at all.
"Mother, it's wrong for you to say that. No matter whether the family is separated or not, my second elder brother is your son, and Lan Ya is your granddaughter. How can a child make such a big deal without reporting to his parents? What? Tell me, you should go and have a meal with them now, with their in-laws around, forgive them for not doing anything, maybe you can do something good!"
Shen Xiuyun spared no effort to poke and mutter, wishing that her old mother would mess with her and ruin Lanya's marriage.
Shen Degui thought the same way, so he said: "Mother, you should come and talk to my second brother. My eldest sister is right. With the old Zhang family and the two around, they just want to be unfilial. If you don’t dare to show it, what are you afraid of? Just go ahead and do it, if it doesn’t do you any favors, you’ll spoil their marriage, and they won’t be filial to you.”
Mrs. Liu was always confused, but when Shen Xiuyun and Shen Degui teased her, she dubiously went down to the ground, put on her shoes and went to Shen Ruolan's house.
At this moment, in the Shen family, Zhang Eryong bought back the big goose, and Zhang Xingwang and Shen Dejian cooperated to kill the goose, and then the two old brothers teamed up again, balding and plucking the fine hair, chatting while working.
It was time for Zhang Luo to cook, and Shen Ruolan couldn't stay in the house any longer, so she rushed out to cook. Zhang Eryong stepped forward to help without anyone telling her.
While working, Zhang Eryong's face was always flushed, and he tried to close his mouth as much as possible, but he couldn't close it.
Shen Ruolan couldn't help laughing when she looked at this big boy who was expressing joy and anger.
In fact, this guy is quite cute when he blushes, especially when he peeked at her and was caught by her, he glanced away in a panic and pretended to be nonchalant, which made her very happy!
"Here, you come to peel the potatoes, and save them for a while to make a dry pot for the big goose." She handed over two big potatoes
"Hey!" Zhang Eryong agreed, took the potatoes and peeled them carefully.
Today is not only the day of their engagement, but also the annual Lantern Festival, Shen Ruolan plans to cook a few more dishes to celebrate well.
She melted a fish, intending to make a steamed fish, and took out a piece of beef, ready to stir-fry later.
Zhang Eryong was peeling potatoes, and when he saw her cutting up the frozen beef, he hurriedly said, "Don't move, leave it there, I'll cut it later." He was afraid that she might cut it.
Shen Ruolan went to clean up the fish again, but Zhang Eryong stopped her again: "This fish has thorns, I'll clean it up later."
Shen Ruolan said dumbfoundedly: "You don't let me do this, you don't let me do that, what do you want me to do?"
Zhang Eryong thought about it, and said seriously: "You just stay here with me, and I will do the rest of the work."
In the room, the two elder brothers who were picking hair couldn't help laughing 'puchi' when they heard this, Zhang Xingwang said in a low voice: "My stupid son, I can't help coaxing my wife."
Shen Dejian smiled lowly, and was about to speak when the door was pushed open, and Mrs. Liu walked in with a cold face.
"Mother, why are you here?" Shen Dejian was very surprised to see his old lady coming in with a sullen face.
Zhang Xingwang had known Mrs. Liu when he was married to Shen Debao's family, and when he saw Mrs. Liu coming to the door with a sullen expression, he quickly stood up and smiled apologetically, "Hello, old aunt."
Mrs. Liu snorted: "What a fart, raising an unfilial son is no good!"
When Shen Dejian heard this, he frowned and said, "Mother, there are still guests here, what are you talking about?"
"What did I say? Let me ask you, do you still see me as a mother?" Sitting down on Kang Yan'er, Mrs. Liu raised her voice and questioned, as if Shen Dejian had done something rebellious.
Shen Dejian didn't do anything, but he was so angry that he was accused out of nothing, and said coldly, "Mum, if you have anything to say, just say it, don't beat around the bush, you are a mother, I will listen to whatever you say."
"Okay, then let me ask you." Mrs. Liu pointed at the tip of Shen Dejian's nose, "Did you get engaged to Lan Ya? Why didn't you discuss such a big matter with me? Did I agree to her engagement? You just assigned her out? You ask all over the place, whose child's engagement is not decided by the elders, it's your turn to decide the marriage of the child without even asking me. , do you still have old people in your eyes?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Zhang Xingwang laughed and said, "Auntie, you have misunderstood Brother Dejian. I am here to propose marriage to my second boy, but Brother Dejian hasn't agreed yet. You are here now." That’s right, just right, I beg you, old man, to be the master.”
"I don't agree!" Liu Shi's neck twitched, and she said it as if she could take the initiative.
"Your family has just divorced the daughter of our old family, and this time you came to our second elder's house to propose marriage. With the daughter of our old Shen's family, you will be hanged by this crooked neck tree like your old Zhang? Besides, Don't you know what's going on in your family? There's a famine in the blink of an eye, and our daughter is going to marry and die of starvation!"
These words are quite detrimental, for someone with a bad temper, he would have to turn his face at that time.
However, Zhang Xingwang is a self-cultivated person after all, so he endured it and said with a smile: "Auntie, it's not our family's intention to withdraw from the old family. It's because the boss looks down on our family and thinks my family is poor. My family has retired. Our family is indeed still suffering from a little famine, but there are people here, so what is the famine? I promise, within half a year, the famine will be severed, and Lanya will never suffer. .”
Mrs. Liu curled her lips, "It's easy for you to say, so many famines, you just pay it back? What if you still don't? Will our Lanya divorce you again? You want our granddaughters Is it in the hands of your old Zhang's family? Anyway, I don't agree with this matter. Lanya is the granddaughter of our old Shen's family. I have the final say on her marriage. You can go and don't come here in the future. Come on, monkey monkeys are also white monkey monkeys, I will not marry my granddaughter to a family like you."
In the kitchen, Shen Ruolan couldn't stand listening anymore, this old guy really used herself as a dish, she still wanted to make decisions about her marriage, why didn't she go to heaven
Shen Ruolan lifted the curtain, walked out, and said sarcastically, "Hey, since when did your old man start caring about my granddaughter?"
Behind him, Zhang Eryong also came out with a cold face. As a junior, he should have saluted the old lady and said hello, but seeing her behavior, Zhang Eryong simply turned a blind eye to her. Such an old man , no matter how old you are, you don't deserve to be respected by others.
"You damn girl, what are you talking about? Did you ever talk to grandma like that?" Mrs. Liu realized that something was wrong with Shen Ruolan's words, and raised her eyes to warn her.
Shen Ruolan is not afraid of her, she walked over leisurely, sat down on a small bench on the ground, and said leisurely: "Did I say something wrong? Since I was a child, my grandma never cared about me. I was so hungry that I was dying." When I was living, it was the kind people in the village who couldn’t stand it any longer, so they gave me something to eat, but you never gave me a bite to eat, last time when my father was not at home, I fainted from hunger Oh, grandma, you didn’t even come to see me, you didn’t give me anything to eat, you don’t care about life or death, why are you so active in joining me now that I’m engaged? Could it be that you want to take the opportunity to make money? A little dowry?"
"What are you talking about? You unfilial girl?"
Mrs. Liu was taken into consideration by the words, and she became angry from embarrassment. She pointed at Shen Ruolan and cursed: "You don't see any old man's disobedience, don't you know that he is the man your sister Mei has betrothed? All the men in the world Are they all dead? Do you insist on snatching it from your sister Mei? Are you still shameless?"
Shen Dejian saw that his daughter was being scolded, and she was scolded so badly, her face turned dark immediately: "Mother, it's the elder brother's family who retired with Er Yong first, so what does it have to do with Lanya? Lanya is your granddaughter, you How can you put such a shit pot on her?"
"Who told her to be shameless, she has to find a boy from the old Zhang family, no matter whether it is your elder brother's family who retired first, Zhang Eryong has always engaged Meier? Is there no man in the world? Why does she have to find him?" What about Zhang Eryong? Isn’t this cheap? What is it?” Relying on being an old man, Liu relied on the old to sell the old, and he spoke freely, swearing and spitting out all the stars.
"Old lady, you can't say that about Ruolan!"
Zhang Eryong, who had been silent all this time, suddenly let out a furious roar, like a thunderbolt, which startled everyone.
Mrs. Liu was also frightened by the thunderous roar, and stammered to Zhang Eryong, "You...what are you shouting? How dare you hit me?"
Zhang Eryong said angrily: "I'm afraid I'll dirty my hands if I beat you. You're still an elder. Ruolan is such a good girl. You don't treat her well and even pour dirty water on her. Are you an old man like that? You Do you manage her? With an old man like you, why do you expect her to respect you and respect you?"
Zhang Eryong was really angry, his face was flushed, and the veins on his forehead popped out. Every word he yelled was sonorous and forceful, as if he was going to collapse the two small huts, and shocked Liu's family too. I can't bear it anymore.
"Second, are you blind? Didn't you see this wild boy yelling at your mother?" The old lady was frightened by Zhang Eryong's appearance, and she didn't dare to break up with Zhang Eryong, so she could only get angry at Shen Dejian.
Shen Dejian was silent for a while, and said: "Mother, I have my own plans for Lan Ya, you should go back."
If you go back now, you can save some face, but if you continue to do it, you will lose your face.
When Liu saw her son pushing her away, her granddaughter was sneering at her again, angry and ashamed, and wanted to sit on the ground and make a scene, but the eyes of the second boy of the old Zhang family were too scary, and she was shocked , I wanted to do it but didn't dare to do it, I wanted to leave but felt ashamed, I froze there for a while, not knowing what to do.
Zhang Xingwang saw the hesitation and struggle in the old lady's eyes, and hurried forward and said: "Old aunt, you don't care about villains, don't be as knowledgeable as children, I will deal with him later, so that he will never grow up again." No kid, you go back and wait, and I'll ask him to come to your door to admit his mistake later."
Mrs. Liu looked at her son with a dark face, then at her granddaughter with a sneering face, and at that wild boy who was about to tear his eyes and looked fierce, lost all confidence for a while, and cursed "conscienceless", He left angrily.
After the old lady left, Shen Dejian said guiltily to Zhang Xingwang: "My in-laws, my old lady is confused, and you and Er Yong have been wronged."
Zhang Xingwang smiled generously: "It's okay, old man, let's be juniors and let her finish soon."
After finishing speaking, he turned his head and said to Zhang Eryong: "Er Yong, you can't talk to the old man so old and young in the future, that is Lan Ya's grandma, even if you look at Lan Ya, you can't be like her. "
Unexpectedly, Zhang Eryong didn't listen to the instruction, and said in a low voice: "I don't care who she is, I just can't bully Ruolan!"
When Zhang Xingwang saw that his son was disobedient, he yelled, "Hey, you bastard, did I say I don't listen to you?"
Shen Dejian said sullenly on the side, "Er Yong is right, even if you are an old man, there is no reason to tease juniors casually. If Er Yong just let her bully Lan Ya just because she is old, I will I'm really worried about handing Lanya over to him."
In other words, even if my daughter is married to your family in the future, if someone in your family wants to bully my daughter just because she is old, I will not agree.
Zhang Xingwang is a fine person, why can't he hear Shen Dejian's subtext, so he said with a smile: "Yes, your in-laws are right, Er Yong, do you listen to me, from now on, regardless of seniority, You have to stand on the side of 'reason' in everything, and you can't do it all."
Zhang Eryong agreed, but thought in his heart, no matter what happened, he had to stand by Ruolan's side and never let her be bullied...
After this episode, the family returned to calm, Shen Ruolan and Zhang Eryong went back to the kitchen to work, because Liu Shi came to make a fuss, Shen Ruolan felt a little unhappy, and unconsciously she lost a lot of words.
Seeing her gloomy, Zhang Eryong was a little worried.
"Ruolan, don't take what your grandma says to heart, you are a good girl, even if she wants to smear you, she won't be able to smear you."
He has no experience in coaxing girls, so he seems a bit clumsy. "Also, our family's famine is set to be paid off this year. I won't make you and me live a hard life. I can still hunt, I have strength, and I can grow crops. I guarantee you can live a good life... "
Shen Ruolan raised her head, parted her lips and smiled sweetly, and said, "Brother Eryong, I know, I'm fine, thank you."
"It's fine, if you have something to say, don't hold it in your heart." He instructed.
"Yeah, I see, today is thanks to you, if you didn't calm down my grandma, she was appointed to be here today, and none of us would want to calm down." Think about the last time the old lady was at her house Shen Ruolan's eyes showed a hint of disgust in that dead look of rolling around and screaming.
Sooner or later, she will completely cut off these scumbags.
Being thanked by Shen Ruolan in person, Zhang Eryong felt a little embarrassed, he scratched his head with a free hand, "Hey, I was also short-tempered for a while, I didn't scare you!"
"Pfft, are you trying to scare me? My sister is so courageous!"
Shen Ruolan picked up the big goose that she had packed, and stabbed down with a knife, and one of the goose's legs came off, "See? Do ordinary girls have the guts like me?"
Zhang Eryong was afraid that she would chop it up, so he hurriedly stopped her: "I'll chop it up, I'll chop it up, I know you're brave..."
Soon, the big goose was chopped up, Shen Ruolan washed the goose meat, put the meat into the pot with a 'wow' sound, and started to stir-fry it with a shovel.
When stewing big goose, you must first fry the meat until golden brown, eat all the oil, then add soup, then put salt sauce, cover the pot and simmer on low heat, wait until the soup is almost collected, put mushrooms and potatoes into the pot , continue to simmer on a low fire, wait until the soup is completely confiscated, and then start the pot. At that time, the big goose is stewed dry, it is delicious!
The big goose is being stewed here, and the rice is also stewed in the small iron pot on the stove in her house. When the goose is cooked and the rice is cooked, she plans to cook again. Use these two pots to steam the fish and stir-fry the beef respectively, and finally cut up a plate of shredded cabbage and fungus salad, and you're done!
While frying the beef, a small piece of chili noodles accidentally burst out of the pot and stuck to her face.
Zhang Eryong on the side saw it, and at first he only took a look at the small piece of pepper skin, but after he took a look, he couldn't take his eyes off it.
The palm-sized face, with a small piece of red pepper skin on it, looks like a small red mole, very pretty, Ruolan's face is very beautiful, her eyes are big and bright And clear, like the most precious gemstone, the small nose is upturned, very delicate, the lips are red and moist, like a ripe cherry, just looking at it, I want to bite, and her face , is also getting whiter, probably because she often drinks goat milk!
Such a pretty girl is now his wife!
Thinking of this, Zhang Eryong's heart was as sweet as falling into a honey pot.
Shen Ruolan was busy cooking, and accidentally caught Zhang Eryong staring straight at her face, so she asked a casual question.
Zhang Eryong's cheeks burned slightly, "There is something dirty on your face."
"Ah? Where is it?"
She raised her cheek and leaned over to let him remove it.
Her hand was occupied and she couldn't free it. Besides, she didn't know where the dirty thing was, so she had to let him do it for her.
Because she is a modern person and does not have such a strong sense of defense between men and women, asking him to help remove a dirty thing is not a problem at all in her eyes.
Er Yong clenched his fist, a heart almost jumped out of his chest, he almost held his breath, raised his slightly trembling fingers, and tapped on that little face.
This is the first time he has touched her face, her face is soft, her skin is smooth, and when she gets close to her, she can smell a faint fragrance, which is better than the flowers in the mountains in summer. As if he had drunk alcohol, his head was dizzy, but his whole body was light.
"Did you drop it?"
Well, dropped it! "
Zhang Eryong curled up his hands, the slippery feeling from the fingertips still existed, making him reluctant to touch other things with this finger, for fear that the slippery fingertips would disappear if touched.
Shen Ruolan was frying the dishes on her own, but she didn't notice the idea of the young man who was just in love. After the food was ready, she asked him to dump the food on the table. , Zhang Eryong curled his fingers and brought the four dishes to the table.
A table full of delicious dishes, full of color, fragrance, and taste, you can smell the mouth-watering aroma before you eat it.
Zhang Xingwang asked Zhang Eryong to open the bottle of wine he had just bought, and poured four bowls of wine, which was regarded as betrothal wine.
When pouring the wine, Zhang Eryong poured more than half of the bowls for his father and Shen Dejian, and his own bowl was completely full, but Shen Ruolan's bowl was only poured to the bottom, and it looked like there was only one mouthful, if not
