MTL - The Landlord And His Wife-Chapter 146 : continuation
The Liu Xuer's house is very crowded at the moment, the upper house is full, and everyone is discussing things. The old man Liu was still sitting on the upper kang, Liu Gao was sitting on the side and taking the soles of his shoes, and Liu Changqi, Liu Changshi and Liu Changgeng were sitting on the underground chairs.
Sister He and Sister He Ruyu were sitting on the edge of the kang, each holding a needlework in his hand, while Liu Xuer led the fourth uncle and fourth aunt's son Liupu Play in the courtyard.
The little guy is almost two years old now, and he speaks in a milky voice, giggling and shouting: "Sister, you come to catch me, catch me." The running belt is upside down.
Liu Xuer can chase him if he follows, just smile: "Be careful, don't fall."
Liu Changgeng wanted to bring his parents to live here for a period of time, and the old man Liu and Liu Gao had lived in Liu Changshi for a long time.
Chicken, still growing his own land. Another big part is Liu Tao's salary in the shop. The father and son gradually saved some money. In the village, it can be regarded as an upper-middle life.
As the eldest, Liu Changqi always thought that his parents should live by his side for a while. After the family split, he has never lived with him.
Liu Changshi only said that his parents were used to living there. He also hired a servant, and he didn't need his mother to cook, so he took his grandson in a leisurely manner. How wonderful!
The three brothers expressed their opinions, Liu Laohan was smoking a cigarette, and finally Liu Gao said: "Don't say anything, go back and live with your eldest brother."
Liu Changgeng hurriedly said: "The Mid-Autumn Festival is still two months away, there are many people here, after the Mid-Autumn Festival... the weather will be cold, go to my elder brother's side, and we will talk about it next year. "
He hurriedly smiled and nodded: "Yeah, the father of the child is right, let's talk about it next year."
Liu Changqi said: "It doesn't matter if you go back to the Mid-Autumn Festival, you can stay at home, just squeeze!"
Liu Changshi came over and sat on the edge of the kang, smiling at Liu Gao's family: "Mother, Pu is still young, can't you do it? Ruyu is too young to do things reliably, she I'm not worried about taking a child alone!"
He laughed. Although He Ruyu was said to be useless by her husband, she wasn't annoyed at all, and she pursed her lips and smiled.
Liu Gao also smiled, looked at He Ruyu and said, "You don't need to say that your daughter-in-law is so useless, your daughter-in-law is better than you!" She smiled and waved her hand: " I understand, you all have filial piety, but there is a reason why you went to your eldest brother. Once you come, my father and I in the village want to go back and have a look. , I've been optimistic, I'll do it when I go back this time!"
Everyone looked at each other in amazement, nothing leaked out.
Liu Changqi blushed and called out, "Mother! I said I won't be around you... The children are so old, what do the villagers say..."
Liu Gao glared at once: "Who would chew this tongue? It's human relations to marry a wife and have children! You are only forty years old now, and you will live alone for the rest of your life. What should you do when you are old? Personally, the old man can't walk, and there is no one to help each other!"
He's and He Ruyu are not easy to talk about on this topic. The two kept their heads down and busy with their own work. Liu Changgeng hurriedly said: "Yes, brother, if you should find someone, you have to find someone. Mother is right, when you are old, there is someone around to take care of each other, that is a lifetime!"
"Tao is a boy, I don't know how big his future will be in the future! Maybe he will make a living outside in the future, and he can't be tied at home, so it is right to find someone." Liu Changshi also said.
Liu Changqi murmured: "I...don't really want to look for..."
The sentence he started to say, Liu Gao thought he was embarrassed and said that, but when he heard this sentence, he was a little stunned: "Why? You really don't want it? Yes You don't want it or Tao doesn't want it?" Then he went to see the old man Liu.
The old man Liu had a beautiful face, but now his brows are also wrinkled, and he said: "Why don't you want? You don't want to find someone for you? Not to mention Tao, it's not my turn. He's talking! That's it!"
Liu Changqi lowered his head and said nothing.
He and He Ruyu are women, they should be more delicate, He thought for a while and smiled: "Mother, you have to find a good one... Big brother, this situation is different, Taodu So old, we have to talk about marriage, if we find a mess... Don't delay Tao, the eldest brother is Tao's son. "
Liu Gao actually guessed a bit. It is estimated that the eldest daughter was hurt by the previous daughter-in-law. The marriage of the eldest daughter was also delayed because of this. In those years, the eldest daughter could not be found People, can't sleep every night! Not to mention Liu Changqi, Liu Gao's family couldn't sleep every night, and he was so worried that he couldn't. The second daughter-in-law is right, she must be worried about finding someone at this time. If Liu Tao's marriage is not delayed again, she will be a sinner!
She hurriedly said: "Boss, don't worry, this one I show you is good." She turned to look at He Shi and He Ruyu and said, "This is a person who knows the bottom line and is far from our village. Not far from Zhengwang Village, the youngest daughter-in-law of the old Zheng family. The youngest son of the old Zheng family has been gone for several years. Tell this daughter-in-law to go back to her mother's house, not her mother's house, stay at her husband's house. What's the situation of the old Zheng's family? You should also know something, five sons and three girls, the poor clanking, even if the old couple wants to stay, it is not easy to keep it at home."
He Ruyu wasn't sure, so he turned to look at Mrs He: "Second sister-in-law, do you know?"
He thought with a look on his face: "Mother, which old Zheng family are you talking about?"
Liu Changgeng added: "Is that the eldest son of the old Zheng family who killed pigs?"
Liu Gao slapped his leg and said, "That's right!" Turning to look at Liu Changqi: "The third daughter-in-law is filial after passing the door, and there is not much to do, but unfortunately the man died early. , I didn't even have a child left, and I couldn't stay in my mother-in-law anymore."
Liu Changqi also scratched his head thinking which one it was.
He hurriedly asked: "Mother! Who did you tell me? Mrs. Zheng?"
"Isn't that to tell them, who else to tell? When you go out, you are from the in-law's family. If the in-law's family is not called to guard, then she can still hold it? Besides, her mother's family doesn't want it anymore, no Let's go back... My mother's brother and sister-in-law are amazing, and she's in charge."
He nodded suddenly and said, "But I still don't have an impression. Just knowing the boss of the Zheng family, he came to our village to kill pigs."
Liu Gao looked at Liu Changqi and said: "It's not that the old Zheng family doesn't know each other, I asked people to inquire, I didn't tell you before, I just don't want the eight characters to be missed. , the whole world will know about it again, if it doesn't work, it's not good. Mother also paid attention to it this time.
Liu Changqi still hesitated.
Liu Changgeng said: "Don't think about it, eldest brother, since mother is optimistic, it must be no problem. Besides, what you worry about about Tao is superfluous! Tao has a lot of ideas now. , it's all the shopkeeper, his affairs are not through his own ideas, do you think he can agree?"
He nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes! Now these kids have a lot of ideas. These big things really need to be discussed with the kids, not who we can say. "
Liu Gao also nodded: "Your second brother and second sister are right! Not to mention the current children, they are the fourth..."
Liu Changshi didn't expect to mention it on his head suddenly, hurriedly laughing: "What... mother!" He turned to look at He Ruyu, He Ruyu blushed and lowered his head.
The old man Liu said to Liu Gao: "What are you doing so far? The matter is settled! Let's talk about it! How much dowry the old Zheng family wants, and how to do it."
Old man Liu made a final decision, and Liu Changqi could only sit silently without speaking.
Liu Gao hurriedly said: "The dowry is about two hangings, whatever the dowry should be prepared for. There are rules for marrying a widow, but there are two extra pigs..."
The old man Liu waved his hand: "What pigs? Everyone doesn't raise pigs! I'll give him four hangs!"
Liu Gao smiled: "People just think that four hangings are not good, so they need two pigs..." A pig is also the price of a lot of money.
The old man Liu scratched his head for a while.
He said with a smile, "How about preparing two taels of silver ingots?"
Liu Changgeng smiled and patted his legs: "That's a good idea! That's it."
Liu Gao thought about it for a while, and felt it was okay, turned to look at the old man Liu, saw the old man Liu nodded, he smiled and said to Liu Changqi: "Then you prepare these As for the dowry, you don't have to worry about it."
Liu Changqi's face was still a little hesitant, but he didn't agree.
Liu Changshi said: "Oh, big brother, I said you don't have to worry about Tao! What's the dowry? When Tao gets married, he himself will marry him. The money is made!"
"That is, are you afraid of taking money for Tao's marriage? Tao is only fourteen years old this year, and there are still two years before marriage. In addition to farming, raising chickens, rabbits... that's enough, it's definitely enough!" Liu Changgeng made the final decision.
He is still nodding frequently beside him: "Yes! That's enough!"
Liu Changqi made the final decision in his heart, but this situation couldn't be beaten by his family. Besides, he didn't really want to look for him. He was only forty years old and he was in his prime, and it was hard to live without a daughter-in-law. What he worried about was the same as everyone said, worried about spending money, feeling that the money should be saved for Liu Tao to marry a wife. The second one is that he is worried that marrying a daughter-in-law will be unvirtuous, and if the family is in trouble, he really can't stand the toss.
Now that everyone is saying this, they can only nod silently, and say to Liu Gao's uneasy: "Mother...you can be optimistic, have a good temper..."
Liu Gao said: "Don't worry! I don't want to be troubled by the New Year and festivals!" Speaking of which, she wanted to find a good one for her eldest son! In the beginning, she decided the eldest daughter-in-law. Liu Gao's heart was uncomfortable for so long. She felt that she did not find a good daughter-in-law for her son, and the eldest son's two daughters were also harmed.
This time, she was very cautious. In fact, someone told her last year that she was a widow in this family. Almost everyone in the village asked her to ask her questions, and it was decided.
Although I was a little reluctant to bear my little grandson, there was nothing I could do.
After cleaning up the next day, Liu Laohan and Liu Gao asked their sons to send them back to Taohua Village to live in the old house. And Liu Changqi's marriage was also fixed, because both parties were married for the second time, and things were very simple.
Only two people carried the sedan chair to pick up the person, and the daughter-in-law was carried with a package.
