Chapter 7

"I said that if I give 20 eggs, I'll get 20. How can you talk so much? I'm responsible for this family. Can I still not know the situation at home?" Old man Xue said in a loud voice.

This old woman, how can't pass that threshold.

This is the first time that the three sons and their daughter-in-law come back to the house. They don't give a decent return, which makes people look down on their daughter-in-law. That's not good.

"Well, you are a good man now. Why don't you go when you borrow money?" Tian turned his eyelids.

Seeing that the war was about to break out again, Zhang Man'er quickly coughed and said: "father in law, mother-in-law, Xue Chuan and I will go back to the door directly in a moment. When this man arrives, it's good to have his heart."

"You're smart." Tian snorted.

After breakfast, when they were ready to go to the next village, they saw Xue Yang running over from afar: "third brother, third brother..."

Running made his skin black and red, and Xue Yang's complexion was whiter than Xue Chuan's.

"What's the matter? Fourth brother. " Xue Chuan Road.

Xue Yang didn't speak. He scratched his head in embarrassment. He took out 30 coppers from his wide sleeve and handed them to Xue Chuan, saying, "brother, you and your third sister-in-law are not very nice when they come back for the first time. These thirty coppers are my handiwork for the villagers. Take them and buy some pork. "

"No Xue Chuan's tone is lukewarm and he pulls Zhang Man'er out of the village. He doesn't have much money, but he still has some broken silver.

Xue Yang Leng Leng looking at the copper plate in the hand, three elder brothers didn't want, is not disrelish money little?

Also, pork is twelve Wen a Jin, thirty Wen just two Jin more, gift giving is really not good-looking.

Looking up, I saw Zhang Man'er waving back at him. The smile was like the clear water in the lake.

He said, three sister-in-law such a pure woman, how can they say so unbearable.

Looking at their back from a distance, the man is tall and strong, the woman is pretty, the third brother and the third sister-in-law are good match.

Xue Chuan took Zhang Man'er by the hand to Datian village. Because he had been hunting or working in Yamen for many years, his fingers were covered with thick cocoons.

The small hand is wrapped by him, Zhang Man'er's palm is hot, and the peaceful lake water in her heart is rippling unconsciously.

Four eyes opposite, inadvertently water waves, Zhang Man'er heart a tight, release his hand.

To the village, in broad daylight, so hand in hand is not very good.

Xue Chuan Mou son flashed not easy to detect dark, looking at her way: "Man'er, which family in your village sells pork and eggs."

He asked like this, making Zhang Man'er blink: "do you want to buy eggs and pork as a return gift?"

"What else? The new son-in-law went to your house empty handed? " He didn't answer the rhetorical question. When he turned up, he was a bit spoiled.

Zhang Man'er originally planned to buy some by himself. Seeing him mention it, he was moved.

Xue chuanting is good at being a person, and she is considerate and careful. She is worried about her face.

"Go to butcher Zhang's house." Zhang Man'er comes to butcher Zhang's house with the memory of the original owner.

Zhangjiakou is a rich family in the village. It has a group of pigs and chickens and ducks. This small business is not only in the village, but also in the town.

Zhangjiajian is in the center of the village, just go in all the way from the entrance of Datian village.

As soon as I went in, I saw Zhang's tiled house. The yard was very bright, with pigsty, chicken house and well.

Butcher Zhang is sitting on the stone bench in the yard, chatting with the neighbor's man.

Seeing Xue Chuan and Zhang Man'er coming, his eyes froze for a moment, and he gave out a different look.

"Butcher Zhang, five catties of pork." Zhang Man'er walked in and saw that there was not much meat on the chopping board, but five Jin was absolutely weighed out.

"Ah, Zhang Jia's daughter, I haven't seen you for a few days. Are you going back with your new husband?" Butcher Zhang often walks in the village. He has seen Zhang Man'er's beauty, but he is still amazed by her again.

Zhang Man'er used to be a coward and indifferent person. She was so generous that she was so sweet to meet her new husband.

Seeing butcher Zhang staring at Zhang Man'er, those nagging men also gave out their eyes.

Xue Chuan looked unhappy, pulled Luo Man'er behind him, and said in a cold voice: "butcher Zhang, give me five Jin of pork, and there are eggs at home. Come 20."

"Yes, there are. There are eggs." Butcher Zhang was stunned by Xue Chuan. He thought that the third member of the Xue family was a constable in the Yamen. His momentum and eyes were quite shocking.

At the moment, he didn't dare to look around. He weighed five kilograms of pork and called his mother-in-law to pick up twenty eggs.

"And the baskets." Xue Chuan took out half a liang of broken silver from his sleeve and asked him to find a pile of coppers.

One Wen for an egg and twelve Wen for a catty of pork, which is equivalent to one yuan in modern times.

One or two pieces of silver is equivalent to 1000 Wen, and half a dozen pieces of silver is 500 Wen.

That is to say, these two things, together with the ten Wen bamboo basket, cost a total of 90 Wen.

"Slow down, you two." Butcher Zhang looked at the money he had just earned, and his voice was pinching.

Originally wanted to say that this basket does not sell, but Nie Yu his cold eyes, just did not have the courage to say.

As soon as the two men left, the air pressure at the scene was relieved, and several men became active and discussed.

"This, this is the husband of that Zhang Jia daughter? It's a good-looking person. " A thin looking man in his thirties said.

"It's said that he is a constable in Yamen. He is famous in the town."

"These days, the village is not talking about it. It's said that Xue Chuan will divorce his wife sooner or later? Looking at the boy's jealousy just now, I found it very rare to see his daughter-in-law

"Zhang Man'er is a famous flower from all over the country. Which man is not rare?"

"That's right. There are some people who retreat after climbing the high branch. It's not authentic."

This naturally means that some scholar is ungrateful.

Zhang Man'er's family lives in the innermost part of the village. When they come out of butcher Zhang's house, they have to cross a dirt road and pass more than ten families.

This morning's sunshine will light up the whole mountain village and cover the ancient village with a layer of gold gauze. They will bring their own golden light.

Handsome men and beautiful women, this eye-catching, two people across the dirt road, many of the villagers with a hoe, have a few more eyes.

There are also some village women who embroider, chatter, eat melon seeds and take care of children at the door.

In a word, we have to face the baptism of the eyes of many villagers.

Xue Chuan has long legs and is steady and powerful. When Zhang Man'er sees that some villagers are looking at her, she nods with a smile and is generous.

Some of them stood on Zhang Man'er's side, and the village women who loved her warmly said, "Zhang Jia girl, where are you going? This is your husband. He's really handsome. "

Along the way, Xue Chuan, like shining gold, attracted a lot of attention. Some young daughters-in-law even look at the girl's home, and their eyes are red and their heart beats.
