Chapter 278

Old man Xue sat on the stone pier at the gate of the courtyard, smoking a dry tobacco pole, and took one mouthful after another. The circles of smoke seemed to have endless troubles. In his cloud swallowing and fog swallowing, his old face became indistinct.

Can't help but Xue Chuan touched, Zhang Man'er's heart also follows to pull tight.

I didn't pay attention to this father-in-law for a period of time. He seemed to be getting old all of a sudden. He coughed a few times from time to time. He seemed to be smoking too fast and choked.

His tired eyes are full of lines, and the silver between his hair adds a lot.

The Xue family is very poor. As the head of the family, old man Xue takes good care of the crops every day, just to get a good harvest, sell some food and vegetables, and give his family a small income.

Years of hard work makes his wrinkled face older than his peers.

Dim yellow eyes, tired body leaning on the floor, a few wrinkles on the forehead, deeply engraved traces of years.

This kind of old man Xue is distressing to me.

Xue Chuan, in particular, was very nervous. He always knew that he was the backbone of the Xue family. Without him as a source of income, the Xue family must have suffered a lot.

He opened his thin lips and made a deep voice for a long time: "Dad..."

This call has a kind of ileum, with a strong affinity.

Old man Xue answered, raised his eyes and saw that it was Xue Chuan. He gave him a loving smile. He got up and asked, "what's the matter, third brother? What's the matter? By the way, I just went out of my way to bypass your new house and workshop. Have you finished it all? "

The workshop has already started, so the new house is almost finished with tiles.

"After all, we can move there tomorrow. Man'er said that he would put wine to celebrate the new house's move the day after tomorrow. Father, mother and second brother, they all come here together." Xue Chuan Road.

Old man Xue took a puff of dry tobacco, with a happy look on his face. Although he was short of Xue Chuan, it did not hinder his dignity and kindness.

This pair of hands, full of veins and wrinkles, patted him on the shoulder and said happily: "third, you are the most promising among so many children. Your daughter-in-law is also a capable one. I feel relieved to see that you are living well. After you move in, you two have to live a good life. If you need help from your family, just squeak. No matter whether we live together or not, we are still a family. Do you need help when you move? "

Without waiting for Xue Chuan to answer, Zhang Man'er said, "no, father-in-law, there are not many things."

She didn't want to trouble Xue's family at first, but this sentence didn't have much, which inadvertently recalled old Xue's memory.

At the beginning of the separation, the third didn't get anything. Even the pots and pans were bought by Zhang Man'er and Tian Shi.

Thinking of the haggard old lady, he was speechless for a while.

Looking at Zhang Man'er apologetically, he said, "the third daughter-in-law, the Xue family is sorry for you. Fortunately, your life is getting better. I'm very happy and happy for you."

"You're welcome, father-in-law. It's all in the past. I didn't pay attention to it." Zhang Man'er's voice is as cool as water, and her expression is very calm.

Then he butted Xue Chuan with his elbow, and the latter immediately said, "Dad, we'll move out tomorrow. This is five years' rations, and Xue Yang's salary is here."

Xue Chuan put the gray money bag into old man Xue's sleeve, and didn't explain how much money there was.

As soon as old man Xue heard that he had paid all the rations for five years, he had at least ten liang of silver. He immediately took out his money and said, "no, it's not the time to hand in the rations. You're too active. Besides, it's not easy for you to earn money. Keep it for yourself first."

He thought that the couple had spent a lot of money on buying land and building houses.

I'm sure I don't have much money in my hand. There's no need to worry about food rations. As long as they are diligent and capable, their family will have a bite to eat.

"Dad, if you want to take it, you can take it. It's the son's duty to you. It's easy to give it together in five years."

Tian was cutting vegetables in the kitchen, waiting for old man Xue to make a fire.

When he ran out to look for someone, he saw old man Xue and Xue Chuan quarreling with each other. Zhang Man'er was also among them. What else was he saying.

Tian's face changed, waving the spade in his hand, rushed over and said: "what are you doing?"

These two people are against the sky. It must be that Zhang Man'er told Xue Chuan about her going to the workshop with Li Chunxiang.

The son, who turned his elbow out, told the old man that the father and son had a quarrel when they didn't agree.

Naturally, the old man is protecting her, and Xue Chuan is definitely protecting his daughter-in-law.

It has to be said that Tian's imagination is rich. She didn't see the money bag, so she naturally thought of the bad side.

When Zhang Man'er saw Tian's coming, he didn't want to say more. He took Xue Chuan's arm and was about to leave: "Mr. Xiang, let's go to the new house to pay."

When we get paid, we will end the old day and welcome a better tomorrow.

"Good." Xue Chuan patted her little hand and took Zhang Man'er to leave.

Tian Shi, who was not willing, waved a spatula and stood in the way: "stop, Zhang Man'er, you cheap hoof, you bully people and want to slip away. There is no door. Did you tell Xue Chuan that you will die if you don't blow the pillow all day? Back to all instigate Xue Chuan, must he be rebellious to his father push pull, you just satisfied? You black heart, your conscience is eaten by the dog. "

Zhang Man'er's mouth corners smoked, this Tian Shi regardless of green red white scolded her, she this is to recruit who offend who.

What did she say? Does this mother-in-law want to be so sensitive.

What she said was Tian's, but she didn't say anything. She took the initiative to explain it.

Xue Chuan's calm eyes, because of Tian's scolding, frowned and looked at Zhang Man'er's calm face. He was afraid that his daughter-in-law would swallow her grievances.

He looked tense and asked seriously every word: "daughter-in-law, what happened today?"

Look at this posture, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have had another war.

"Nothing." Zhang Man'er's two words passed lightly, just like the relaxed tone of saying that there is a good Moon this evening.

These little things she will not put in mind, fight with her, she is not easy to cause, nor can be the main loss.

Xue Chuan worked so hard all day long. She didn't want to tell him such a little thing, so that he wouldn't worry.

In Zhang Man'er's opinion, this kind of trivial matter is not worth mentioning. In Tian's eyes, it is a great event.

She crossed her waist and said, "Zhang Man'er, now you say it's OK. Don't think I don't know what you're talking about without hearing it? You must have filed a complaint. Anyway, if you don't believe it, you won't say, "you have a black heart?"
