Chapter 209

"Niang, Niang, the Su family has bought a little girl. When will we add two? Niang, you see, we don't lack that silver. Why don't we buy two back to help you? Look, Niang's hands are much thicker? "

In recent months, Zhou youzhao has been fighting with those who are called Meilian and mengxiang. She feels more and more that she is good at it.

"Niang, if I'm not the girl who loves to make trouble, don't you think about it carefully. What a beautiful color the elder sister and the second elder sister are. Isn't the elder brother-in-law and the second brother-in-law still taking concubines? Our family is becoming more and more prosperous. In case my father gives you a small one, how bad is it? "

Sun Cuihua immediately became nervous and asked, "but what are the wind words coming from outside? I can tell you, don't listen to those gossips. They are all hot eyes. Our life is getting better and better. "

"I know, Niang. I don't hear anything outside. I just look at my elder brother-in-law and second brother-in-law. Everyone thinks it's normal for a man to ask for a baby, but I feel very upset. If brother Jingu brings those two people into the house, I won't kill them." A trace of hatred flashed in Zhou youzhao's eyes. It was that she underestimated those two cheap girls. One by one, she was more capable than the other. She even knew that she couldn't fight herself. She ran to tell her brother Jingu.

As soon as I think of that delicate and weak Meilian, I always complain to Deng Jingu behind her back. Deng Jingu has a big fight with her for this. Zhou youzhao hates her to death.

"Niang, it's rumored outside that our family can't compare with the Su family now, and even the Deng family can't compare. They all say that I'm Gao Jia."

"Bah, my daughter will marry down." Sun Cuihua was very unconvinced. Somehow, her daughter-in-law of the Chen family laughed at her again.

In the past, she was happy every day and cleaned up the front and back of the house. But now, not to mention the Su family's yard, which was not built well, she still took reed mat to encircle it in a big circle outside. It was the Deng family. The yard was really big enough. She also made the front and back yards, made small flower beds in the yard, planted bamboo and osmanthus trees, and looked more prosperous than her own .

No matter Zhou Changgen or sun Cuihua, they love to compare with others. They can compare with others. That is, they look at each other with their nostrils. They are always jealous and jealous. They always want to make some jokes at each other's home.

At this time, Zhou Changgen came back from the outside humming a little song, just listening.

"What kind of marriage? My daughter married him, Deng Jingu. That's his blessing. "

Zhou Changgen didn't think much of the Deng family: "the Deng family is just a new upstart this year. It's really better than the family. What's the strength of the Deng family? It's better than your eldest son-in-law's and second son-in-law's family. Fortunately, he has a good brain. My family has been married and won't suffer. By the way, what do you do when I ask you to do it?"

What he said later was to ask Zhou youzhao.

"Dad, do you really have that thing you said?" Zhou youzhao was very suspicious, so she had to dig three feet of the Deng family's land.

Zhou Changgen took a look at Sun Cuihua, squinted and said, "of course there are. How long has it been? Haven't you heard?"

Zhou youzhao was very frustrated and replied: "no, I only saw a pair of containers. He said they were handed down from his grandparents. Dad, when the Deng family moved to clean up, I was so tired that I couldn't stretch my waist straight. I didn't even find what you said. Moreover, there are such ancient pieces. Why don't I leave them to your parents and grandchildren and have to give them to my brother-in-law?"

Zhou Changgen touched his beard. After pondering for a long time, he just replied, "I don't know what your elder brother-in-law is looking for. In fact, it's nothing to leave you with the baby in the future, but how much strength can Jin Gu borrow from your elder brother-in-law? It's hard to say. Your brother-in-law has a bright future. Can't he also prosper? It's just a dead thing. I'm afraid I won't be able to buy more money in the future. "

This is indeed his calculation. But if his daughter wants to marry Deng Jingu, he naturally wants Deng Jingu to earn more money, but he also plans to make her not be wronged in the Deng family. Only when Zhou youzhao says what is in the Deng family, can her take more money to honor herself.

In a word, this is also the way that the Zhou family inherited from their ancestors. By marrying a good family with their daughter, their family will become more and more prosperous.

Zhou youzhao didn't think there was anything wrong. He took it for granted. In her parents' words, if her husband's family couldn't give up a little money to help her family, why did they send their daughter to the fire pit?

The fifty taels of silver given by the Deng family have already been taken by Zhou Changgen to buy land. Zhou youzhao bought the 20 mu of fertile land by her elder brother's husband, and her second elder brother's husband also paid part of her dowry.

This is also the interest of Zhou Changgen. There is always a way to ask his sons-in-law to take out their pockets automatically.

"What's more, your elder brother-in-law and second brother-in-law now rely on the golden drum, and they are more and more flexible. Naturally, they are reluctant to leave this fat meat behind. In the future, your two brother-in-law will prosper, not only to bring our three generations, but also your future sons. There are 10000 taels of gold in the family, sitting in the rich nest to study and read. In front of them are your two brother-in-law and their three generations Uncle, it's a good idea. "

I have to say that Zhou Changgen is very good at holding people's hearts. Can Zhou youzhao not be moved by these words?

Zhou youzhao also had his own careful thinking. He told Zhou Changgen that she was very obedient and told him that she had suffered a lot in the Deng family for a long time: "Dad, add a little girl to me. Now there are two more foxes around brother Jingu. I can't surrender myself to fight with those two bitches."Zhou Changgen thought about it and thought that Zhou youzhao's words were very reasonable: "you're right. Those two concubines are just goods that can be given away. If you want to marry in the future, you'll have to be a housewife. It's time to add a little girl to you."

Zhou youzhao can be ordered by a little girl. Naturally, the mother can't lose any more. Zhou Changgen agreed to Zhou youzhao's proposal and bought another old woman to help with the kitchen work.

Just two days later, Zhou youzhao was surrounded by an ordinary looking girl with small freckles. When she walked around the village, she was always called "Yuanbao, Yuanbao". When sun Cuihua went out, she was always followed by a woman of the same age. When she met people, she said that her parents deeply loved her and were reluctant to give up her heavy work I'm a cook.

She also said that her mother-in-law's family lived in Shangtang village. She was very sick and bedridden, and she could not bear to let her children be enslaved at a young age. Her parents looked at her and felt that she was too pitiful. Seeing that she sold herself, they brought her home and did a good deed.

The truth of the matter is that Zhou Changgen went to ask the price from the villains in the town and was reluctant to pay more money to buy back a serious cook. He happened to meet Li's mother-in-law who put in a straw stick to sell himself. Zhou Changgen thought he had picked up a big bargain.

In any case, the day is like the water flowing quietly in the ditch in front of the door.

Lin Anxin and Su Anping are more and more busy. They not only have to finish the homework assigned by Mr. Luo every day, but also follow Mr. Luo to watch how she teaches the little girls the rules, so that they can know the differences between the rules to be obeyed by the ladies and the rules to be obeyed by the little girls.

In a twinkling of an eye, it is past July 15. From the first to the 15th of July, it is the day of sacrificing ancestors every year. Because July 15 is commonly known as "ghost gate", so Su Wenxuan's full moon wine is set on July 16. It's very hot, but it can't stand Suyang river. This time, he is really happy. For three days in a row, he sets up a water table. Fish are fished and killed in his own fish pond, and pork is eaten every day In the early morning, the butcher came to the house to slaughter. Every day, he put a big bucket in the well and put it out when necessary.

This kind of food and wine really makes up for the neighbors of Shunshui village.

The Su family is busy with wine. The three women in the Su family are the most idle.

On July 16, because the Su family slaughtered pigs, Mrs. Chen heard Lin Anxin say that she wanted to eat small intestine rice noodles. She specially told the butcher to leave the small intestine rice noodles alone and clean them.

Lin Anxin's favorite food in his previous life was vermicelli: "Auntie, ah, today's vermicelli is always delicious."

Mrs. Chen replied with a smile: "I'll have to kill the pig tomorrow. I'll ask someone to keep it for you. It's not fresh outside. It's the freshest and cleanest vermicelli I I've got from killing the pig at home."

Since she also added a little girl called qiao'er to her side, Aunt Chen loves to eat more and more.

"Well, well, I'm very skilled. It's the first time I've eaten this way." At least, after Lin Anxin came across, he didn't eat such authentic and delicious vermicelli. Either the vermicelli was too hard to bite, or the vermicelli was too poorly cooked to taste good.

Aunt Chen replied with a smile: "before..." I don't know what she thought. Her eyes were in a trance. Lin Anxin waited for a long time for the rest of the words, but she didn't mention them again.

She had been eating the bowl of flour, but she never heard Mrs. Chen speak again. She just sat quietly back in front of the kitchen, holding the tongs for a while and pulling out the fire in the kitchen.

"Don't worry, don't worry, my aunt is coming. Come out soon." Lin Anxin called Aunt Zhang Yulan, Su Wanping also sold a good, affectionate called Aunt Liu Sanniang.

Su Wanping had a meal early and had already helped arrange for the women who were feeding the silkworms today.

"Today, those women are very sharp in their hands and feet. They have picked more mulberry leaves than usual."

Lin Anxin put down his chopsticks, took a handkerchief to wipe the oil stains from the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile, "I'm going to meet my mother. The hot food at home these days is so good that those women are working harder and harder."

When she got up and went out of the kitchen, Liu Sanniang had already reached the steps of the main room, and Lin Anxin hurriedly welcomed her up: "Niang, you're here. I haven't been to see you for several days. Are you OK in recent days?"

Liu Sanniang looked lovingly at her approaching, and the smile in her eyes went straight to the deepest part: "is my daughter growing up again? Have you had breakfast? "

"Yes." Lin Anxin reached forward and took what she was carrying.

"What's so heavy?"
