tricky in taste
"Oops, I figured it out!"
The first year of the year suddenly suddenly enlightened, to fifteen this numbness of nature, and no elders around to point out, this life want to marry a daughter-in-law, I'm afraid it is much more difficult, then she can only "make the best use of it"!
"What?" Fifteen froze, seeing how pleased she was, so he pulled back and smiled along with her.
"What are you happy about? I haven't said it yet!" The first year of the year looked at the handsome man in front of him who was giggling and happy, and thought to himself that he could be suffering from a brain injury.
How else can you know everything and not be able to think of anything?
"Then you say." He said softly, looking deep into her eyes.
"Aren't I going to pick a girl today? Since you don't want to leave the Nian family, you don't have to. In two years, I'll ask my father to build two houses for you in the open space behind the house, and you can pick the girl today, just pick the one you like, and slowly cultivate her, so that she can be your daughter-in-law in the future!"
The first year of the year said as he nibbled on a candy cane, and the more he thought about it, the more he realized that his idea was really wonderful, it was like a one-two punch!
Unfortunately, after Nian XV heard this, he was dumbfounded that he didn't have any expression at all.
"You'd rather say something!" The first year of the year a piece of good intentions, but if this fool does not agree, there is no reason that the cattle do not eat grass to forcefully press the head.
"Not like that." Fifteen was bland again.
"Yo ho! Still don't like it! Then tell me, what kind do you like? Miss I'll keep an eye out for you, in the future when I really don't have a decision to make for you, Miss I'll think of a way for you."
And then, Nian XV stopped, the smile at the corner of his mouth getting more and more prevalent, like what kind? Right now like this ah!
The first year of the year did not pay attention, and went on talking forward, and it was only after a while that she saw the fifteenth year of the year standing fixedly behind her from afar.
"Come here." She stood still, noticing lately that the silly boy was a bit strange, often looking at himself with eyes she couldn't read.
In a burst of jogging, Nian XV reached her.
"Don't be afraid, work hard, and in the future, miss, I'll get you a doctor to cure you!"
Year 15: "..."
After arriving at the toothwoman, New Year's Day explained the purpose of her visit, the toothwoman hurriedly and enthusiastically greeted them into the backyard, and then told the sliver of girls to line up for her to select.
"You ʟᴇxɪ go look first!" The first year of the year was mindful of picking a daughter-in-law for him, so he told him to look for himself.
Mistakenly believing that Nian XV was the final payer, the toothwoman kept telling him how good this one was and how dainty that one was.
Nian XV looked over one by one, finally resting beside a middle-aged woman in her thirties.
"Her, huh?" Year One frowned.
"Hmm." He returned lightly, choosing the woman, not without reason.
Among the twenty or so people lined up in this row, most of them were thirteen or fourteen year old girls, looking at them with timidity in their eyes, but more than that, they were still resisting, they did not want to go with them.
Most of the teenage girls were sold from big families who had done a few years of work and naturally wanted one master to be richer than the other, there was no reason for them to get worse and worse, was there?
So even if you buy one of them, you won't settle down to do anything.
The thirty-year-old middle-aged woman was different, with a calm and modest demeanor, looking like a down-to-earth worker.
At the beginning of the year, the first year of the year, he wanted to pick a daughter-in-law for the fifteenth, but he did not expect that the one he picked was an older woman!
No wonder you said you didn't like it before you even picked it. You're fucking good at this!
"Are you ... sure?" She looked nonplussed, this was going to be for life! He a wooden head!
Fifteen nodded again, so the first year of the year went to the woman and said, "Why are you selling yourself out at this age?"
"The little woman is the ox family village, originally married a iron man, but the year before last my man died of an acute illness, my in-laws were afraid that I would remarry with my husband's property, so they sent me back to my mother's home, my mother's brother and sister-in-law could not tolerate me, so I was sold by the toothwoman ..."
The woman God light miserable, perhaps to those so-called family members completely disappointed, said said dropped a lot of tears.
"Then will you go back with me? My family owns a coffin store, and we're short of a maid to do menial labor."
The woman nodded, the corners of her mouth lifting, "Willingly, as long as Miss doesn't mind, I'll do a good job!"
That tooth woman is even more happy, this woman has been here for almost a month, finally out of the house! It's not easy!
"Miss give me one or two silver can buy her!" Seems to be afraid of the beginning of the year one backtracked on the general, she specially quoted a cheap price, less earn a little bit is no big deal, stay at home still have to paste her three meals a day!
The first year of the year smiled, pulled fifteen's hand to the side, and asked in a low voice: "You can think about it ah! She looks like that, looks not too young, in the future is not good to give birth to you do not blame me!"
The year fifteen crystal bright eyes shine out of her a delicate and small face, bright eyes and white teeth, body exquisite, like a flower like jade ... How is it not good to be born and raised?
"Buy this without incident." He said with a smile on his lips.
"Fool! I'll let you have it! I won't tell her about this for a while, so you can think about it later!"
This side of the two people pull in a place to bite the ear, that side of the tooth woman anxious to death, to the mouth of the fat meat will not fly ah? She really thinks she's too old, doesn't she? She shouldn't have bought her on the cheap in the first place!
"I say this lady ... If you really want to buy her, I will give you a little cheaper! Eight dollars! No less!" The toothwoman was ruthless and bent on getting this deal done.
"Deal!"
After paying the silver, the woman followed the first day of the year.
"The little woman thanks you, Miss!" The woman had a respectful face.
Early in the year 1 nodded, and seeing that the woman had several patches on her clothes, she decided to go ahead and get her two intact clothes.
Incidentally, I'll buy two for the idiot next to her, too, so he won't have to stare at the one she made all year long to wear it.
"And first go to get you a dress, into my Nian family, later is my Nian family people, but ... there are some words, I have to talk to you to understand!"
"Whatever you say, Miss!"
"Good! My year family, is not a big family, but also rely on the hands of hard work out, the family population is also simple, my father close to me a daughter, my mother is old, need a person at the side of the close wait, serve tea and water, cooking and laundry these, also have to do."
"Don't worry, Miss, these little women can do it all."
"My father will work in the coffin store during the day, and only go back at night, plainly you're just as smart as you can be, and most of all, there's an aunt in my house who just got in, and you don't have to care about her side of things, and you're just going to go and yell at the point of dinner."
"Yes."
"My mother is too merciful; from now on you will spend much time with her at home, keep a good eye on me, and if anything happens, tell me in time."
The first year of the year was fairly straightforward, and the woman understood it as soon as she heard it.
"Don't worry miss, I will definitely protect madam well and not let others bully her away!"
"By the way, what's your name?"
"My father didn't give a first name, they call me Siniang."
New Year's Day thought about it, there is already a Liu Manniang at home, if another Xinniang, I'm afraid it's not appropriate ...
So he said, "The Xin Niang of the past is dead, and the one standing here today is called Nian Xin Sister-in-Law, are you willing?"
The little woman's hot tears filled her eyes, and she busied herself with wiping them with her sleeve, her face presenting a broad smile.
"Willingly willingly! Thank you, Miss, for the name!"
While talking, they arrived at the ready-made clothes store, and the first year of the year paid out money to buy two gray cotton dresses for Xin's sister-in-law, and picked out a robe and a lining for Nian XV as well.
"In the future, if there is a mouthful of food from my Nian family, you will never starve, work hard!"
Fifteen face smile and warm, hugging the clothes repeatedly nodded, Xin sister-in-law is even more grateful, she almost ten years have not worn new clothes!
The first day of the new year, thinking that this sister-in-law Xin is fifteen's own fancy, always have to give them a chance to be alone, so he touched out a few copper coins from his pocket and handed it over, "Fifteen, you lead sister-in-law Xin to the vegetable market entrance to recognize the road, and incidentally, will be today's day of vegetables to buy back."
When she finished speaking, she flashed a smile at the two of him and went straight back to the Nian family.
When she arrived home, she saw Lu move a chair to sit in the sunlight to nab the soles of her shoes, and New Year's Day pulled her mother back to her room.
She will have to go to Yuquan Town, a hundred miles away, to buy a batch of good materials in the next few days, or to make a "treasure of the store".
The last pair of good nanmu coffin last month to the foreign rich businessman to buy to go, always have to do a pair, this good coffin, three years out of a pair, can earn enough money to eat on three years!
Otherwise, his father can so quickly carry Liu in? Can so quickly touch the three or five silver to her?
Therefore, Lu Minjun here, she has to explain clearly, Aunt Liu at a glance is not an oil lamp, some of her as a daughter to remind, or to remind.
"Mother, I bought you an underling back, called Sister-in-law Xin, this will follow Fifteen to buy food."
The first year of the year originally wanted to Xin sister-in-law's deed of sale to her mother to keep, but thought that her mother's ears are too soft, if a moment did not hold his father's two good words, this deed of sale may not be to the hands of anyone, or put on their own body insurance.
"Huh? You child, how much does this cost?" Lu wasn't quite happy yet.
"Mother, why can't you figure it out? No matter how much money is spent, this money has to be spent, my father even lifted my aunt in, what are you going to do with that few dollars you're saving? It would be better to spend it on yourself, and eat and wear it comfortably!"
At the beginning of the year one said so, Lu stopped speaking out, Liu's matter she just think about it, her heart is clogged with panic.
"Sister-in-law Xin will follow you from now on, if there's anything you order her to do, the mother of the house must have the appearance of a mother of the house!"
Lu listened to the smile, Xikou Town, but all the dignified ladies and wives, which one did not bring two maids around?
In the past, she did not even dare to think about it, but she gave birth to a good daughter, everything to help her prepared, as long as the thought of the first day of the year, she this heart, will be happy.
"Aunt Liu in the future if there is something to call Xin sister-in-law to do, you also have to look at the situation and then decide whether to respond, according to reason, Xin sister-in-law is I bought back to filial piety to you and my father, Aunt Liu's end of the big can not be bothered, but live under one roof, make too much of a stalemate, but not beautiful, so as long as she is not too much, you can turn a blind eye. "
Lu Minjun thought that this was also the reasoning, so she nodded her head repeatedly.
After not long, Nian XV was carrying a fish in his hand, followed by the first-time Nianxin's wife, who had bought enough food for the day, including fish, meat, soy products, and a few handfuls of bok choy.
When she arrived home, Sister Xin put down the things in her hand and first kowtowed to Lu Minjun, showing her loyalty, and then went to the kitchen to work.
It didn't take long for the three dishes and one soup to be served on the table, and Sister Xin respectfully stood behind Lu after setting up the dishes.
"Sister-in-law Xin, go call Aunt Liu to come over for dinner." The first year of the year sat on the table and smiled.
Nianxin sister-in-law said yes, and went to find a place to shout, Liu Manniang as a girl in general, soft and sticky responded to know, and then also came over to sit down.
Nian Laosan came back from the store, and New Year's Day immediately gave Sister Xin a wink.
Sister-in-law Xin nodded her head and turned over to get a basin to bring clean water to Nian Laosan and said, "Please cleanse your hands, Master."
Nian Lao San smiled and cheerfully washed his hands and sat down at the table.
"Hatsuichi, is this the underling you bought?"
Hearing Nian Laosan's voice, Liu's eyes put on a bright light and looked at Nian Laosan.
On the first day of the year, she said, "Yes, this is what my daughter bought to serve my parents, and in the future, cooking will be the responsibility of Mrs. Xin, Father, how about you try Mrs. Xin's handiwork?"
Liu Manniang saw that Nian Laosan was not the first to talk to her, her eyes dimmed, lowered her head, and in silence, she pinched a chopstick of fish and put it into Nian Laosan's bowl.
This point of small ninety-nine years old three naturally see out, look at the delicate mother, secretly pinched a hand of Liu's hand, which still have the heart to eat, so only faintly perfunctory the first year of the year a few sentences.
I want to eat a good noon meal, so I can hang out with Liu Manniang.
