The Landlord And His Wife

    After listening to Liu Changshi's words, sure enough, Liu Changqi and Liu Changgeng immediately objected, Liu Changqi said: "Why go to Ningxia Town? You want to marry a fairy girl? The usual dowry is Eight or ten coins at most, borrowed and collected together, what are you going to do in that place?"

    Liu Changgeng also nodded and said: "Yeah, that place is too dangerous, where can I find a place to work? Why run so far?"

    Liu Changshi had expected that they would disagree, because after he talked to Liu Laohan and Liu Gao, his parents did not agree, and he was not in a hurry, just said: "I have already It's decided, I'll leave when Liu Hong's marriage is done."

    The old man Liu snorted: "Every one... no one is obedient!"

    Liu Changgeng frowned and said: "What has been decided, isn't this still a discussion? I said no, you are not allowed to go! You are promising, and you don't want to use the money from your wife's family, it's nothing. , there are a lot of places to work around... Besides, you should borrow the money you spend at home! Except for the money that your brothers should pay, you should borrow the rest, and you can pay it back slowly. , it’s not that I can’t live anymore, so what are you doing in that place? Those Mongolian Tartars are not human, and they will kill anyone they see! If you have something to do…”

    "Don't talk nonsense." Liu Gao came in, hurriedly interrupted Liu Changgeng, nodded to Liu Changshi and said bitterly: "Yes, it's not that I can't live anymore, just for the sake of Marry a daughter-in-law, and go to that place to earn your life! Why bother? Let people know, and they will laugh at you!"

    Liu Changshi frowned and said: "I earn my money, who is righteous laughing at me? Father, mother! Big brother and second brother, I repeat, going there to collect wolfberry and jujube is not only about In order to marry a daughter-in-law, I'm such an old man, it's time for me to find something serious to do..."

    "Why don't you do something serious?! Farming is a serious business!" Old man Liu said loudly.

    Liu Changshi nodded hurriedly and said: "I know, Dad, I don't think farming is serious, but I am a big boy who guards an acre and a half of fields, and I have nothing to do after farming! As long as I don't slack off at that point, I just spend half my time serving, and the rest of the time I'm just idling?"

    "If you have less free land..."

    The old man Liu was interrupted by Liu Changshi before he could finish his words: "Dad! Why are you messing around? I think there is not enough land? I'm such an adult, give me some belongings. What's wrong? Is it right to just stick to that spot?"

    The old man Liu paused for a while before saying, "Then even if you don't want to be idle, you don't have to run that far!"

    "I've told you and my mother many times before, I'm here to make some money, and I can do anything! It's just a trip! "

    Liu Changqi finally interjected: "Then what else is there to live, can't make enough money?"

    Liu Changshi turned his head to look at him and said: "Brother, you should know, what kind of work can we have in the countryside that can bring money? What kind of money can you make if you carry something on the wall, dozens or hundreds of dollars? For so many years, don’t you and your second brother go out to work every year? What kind of money do we have in our family? "

    Liu Changgeng and Liu Gao basically stopped talking, because they both could hear it, Liu Changshi also made sense, but Liu Gao obviously felt distressed for the younger son, it made sense for her Neither do I want to. Of course Liu Changgeng couldn't agree.

      How much money do you take to collect jujube and wolfberry? Those things are not worth a trip if you collect less? But if you collect more, will you have that much money first? Second, if you take it back, someone will want it? What if there is no one to do? Isn't that dumbfounded?"

    Liu Changgeng This is also because Liu Xuer's little children are doing business, and he also listens and learns and has a little business acumen.

    Liu Changshi said: "Since I'm going, of course I've thought of this, then I've found a place to collect it..."

    "Don't tell me it's the Tooth Shop! The Tooth Shop is so dark! It's not enough for you to go back and forth!"

      As I said, if there are these two dried fruits over there, I will send them home." Liu Changshi is not stupid, he has already inquired clearly.

    Liu Changshi said: "Father and mother, eldest brother and second brother, I know you are worried about me, don't worry, I am a young and strong young man, not a dumb wood! When you get to the Mongolian Tatars, can’t you run?! If you can’t run, you will always hide? Can’t I hide there alone?”

    Liu Changqi stayed for a while before asking, "Then how much money do you have?

    Liu Changshi said: "I brought thirty hangings, borrowed from Yuan Hao, plus my own money...two hangings."

    Liu Changqi was shocked, Liu Changgeng stared! Looking at the old man Liu and Liu Gao, both of them seemed to know it, and their faces were helpless. Liu Changgeng hurriedly said: "You borrowed so much money from Yuan Hao, what should you do if you lose money? What should you do if you don't pay?"

    Liu Changshi said: "Since I borrowed it, I will definitely pay it back. In any case, I will do this business, and I will pay it back!"

      Handa, will you be poor? Obviously you have ideas and skills, why don't you call out and run?

    I told Mr. He about this after going to bed at night. Mr. He also felt that Liu Changshi’s idea was actually right, but the location and business were a bit dangerous, but if it wasn’t dangerous It is impossible for everyone to do business that can be done, and it is impossible to have such a big profit in it.

    He can only comfort Liu Changgeng, saying that Liu Changshi is a big boy after all, he can take care of himself, he can have such an ambition, marrying a daughter-in-law does not want to spend his parents' money Money, not to spend the bride price of my sister, this is already very good.

    Who could have guessed which girl Liu Changshi was thinking about.

    Liu Xuer doesn't know anything, anyway, she told her aunt when she woke up. Seeing how she looked at the time, she didn't seem to be disgusted, but she was rather shy, maybe there was a show, but next She really has no choice, it really depends on the efforts of the fourth uncle!

    Ten or so days, embroidered purse, tied with tie, and on the eighth day of October, Liu Hong got married.

    Liu Changgeng went to give the dowry before, and then I went to Yuan Hao's house to have a look. Although they are from the same village, this is really the first time for the brothers to go to Yuan Hao's house. On the basis of the original house, the blue-brick large-tile house has three main rooms, side rooms on both sides, and three side rooms on the left and right in the middle of the courtyard. The backyard is very big, and some green vegetables and radishes are planted, as well as grape racks and loofah seedlings.

    Liu Changgeng came back and said to Mrs He with a smile, "The house is clean and tidy, it's pretty good."

    He is naturally very happy for Liu Hong. On the eighth day of the tenth lunar month, Mrs. He got up early and came to the old house before dawn after taking a shower.

    Liu Gao and Liu Hong were already up, and the kitchen was boiling water. Ma actually came over early to help clean up.

    Actually, Mrs. He, the mother of Quanfu, is quite qualified. Her parents and in-laws are all there, and she has both children. If she is willing to find her, she is already familiar with it. He is still busy with other things.

      She was all ready, put on her own embroidered red wedding dress, covered her head with a red hijab, sat on the edge of the kang, stepped on a small table under her feet, and had a pair of red embroidered shoes on her feet. There is a silk sash with a multicolored thread tied around her waist, and there is a begonia flower woolen sachet hanging on it, which was given to her by Xiao Xuer.

    Liu Xuer stayed in the room for a while, listening to mother, Ma Shi and Liu Hong talking in a row, I heard the sound of firecrackers ringing from time to time, until suddenly the sound of gunfire was dense When she got up, Liu Xuer knew that she was coming, so she hurriedly ran outside.

    Liu Shu gave Senzi to her and told her to stay away from the door. He hurried over to block the courtyard door. Today, he and Liu Lin are still the main characters. Asking them to take the children to do it, the first thing is to block the door and ask for a red envelope.

    Liu Yuner and Liu Tao were also there, as well as the children of the next door neighbors, a group of dolls were screaming for red envelopes behind the door, the courtyard door was opened by the children who were eagerly waiting for the red envelopes, Yuan Hao threw a lot of red packets in from the outside.

    Several children rushed to grab it, Liu Shu and Liu Lin pressed against the door and did not call in, but turned to look at the fourth uncle.

    Yuan Hao, who was dressed in a new bright red, spent a lot of effort to enter the courtyard door, and knocked on the door again. He and Ma and a few Liu Hong little sisters were there The door was blocked in the house, shouting for red envelopes, Yuan Haohan came down, and countless red envelopes were sent in, but the door would not open. In it, I asked who would I listen to in the future? Yuan Hao just said: "Listen to Liu Hong..."

    The young man who followed him quit: "It's not time for the bridal chamber! If you don't open the door, you'll crash! It's really crashing!"

    The troubled Yuan Hao sent in a few big red envelopes, and then he knocked the door twice, and the door opened.

    Liu Hong covered a red hijab and followed Yuan Hao out, stepped on the red sack to the old man Liu and Liu Gao's side, kowtowed and saluted, Liu Gao's eyes were red.

    Liu Changgeng brought Liushu and Liulin to hang up eight hanging whips at the door. This is the most lively time. When Yuan Hao and Liu Hong came out, the firecrackers were set up together, and the whole door of the courtyard was full of firecrackers. Covered in smoke from firecrackers.

    I got on the sedan chair, beat gongs and trumpets and trumpeted suona, and went around the village in a lively way, and then carried it back to Yuan Hao.

    The guests who come to the woman's side will eat and drink at the banquet.
