Old Man Li sat at the door of the kitchen to warm himself up by the fire, smoking a cigarette and squinting at the thick white snow in the yard. "The snow has fallen well this year. After two years of hard work, our Qingshuigou should have good weather. Next year will be a good harvest year." ! Big Dog¡¯s wife, bring the pig¡¯s feet hidden in our house and cook them. It¡¯s almost the Chinese New Year, and Big Dog and Two Dogs should come back.¡±
Old Man Li's eldest daughter-in-law, Cuizhi, was washing her clothes quickly with hands and feet, "We still have a few pieces of spare ribs with the meat removed, which can be used to make soup to satisfy our cravings. Life is pretty good now, so we can save as much as we can. Who knows what the future will be like?" Don't eat the pig's feet. You can still hold on for a few days when you really can't help it, right? Dad, what do you think?"
"Hiss" Old Man Li took a sip of saliva, smoked a spicy dry cigarette, shook the ashes and looked at his wife Wang, who was mending at the side, "Bitch, what do you say?"
Mrs. Wang rubbed the needle on her hair and felt a little distressed when she saw her eldest daughter-in-law's red hands. "Cuizhi is right. We are old couple. Your legs and feet are so painful in winter. You can't help the big dog." , I can save a little bit, I didn¡¯t remove all the ribs, there are still shreds of meat on them.¡±
With this famine, a good daughter-in-law has to take dirty clothes home to wash in the middle of winter. Her fingers are red from the cold and crack when the cold wind blows, just to exchange a few coins to support the family.
Speaking of which, Cuizhi hadn¡¯t put on new clothes in two years. Mrs. Wang sighed. Their big dog was lucky to have such a capable daughter-in-law as Cuizhi.
"It's just a pity that Ergou has reached the age where she should get married, but no one wants to marry.
They have been down-to-earth all their lives, farming the land honestly and diligently, and they get along well with their fellow villagers. However, God did not care about them, and their youngest son, Ergou, was born without a mind.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of his wits, let him do whatever he is told. When he eats, give him half a bowl and he won¡¯t add more.
The family asked a matchmaker to marry Li Ergou several times, and they were very satisfied with the situation of Old Man Li's family. Li Ergou was also well-groomed, with a strong and well-proportioned body, a straight nose, a full forehead, raised eyebrows, and those eyes. It should have been bright and starry eyes, but it was extremely empty.
When the girl¡¯s family heard that Li Ergou was a fool, all the previous satisfaction was suppressed. In the early years of love, no one wanted their husband to be a fool.
Li Ergou is stupid, but he is tall, strong and strong. His family has taught him patiently, and he can do some straight work just like a gourd. He is not inferior to Li Dagou, which is a big help to the family.
Old Man Li¡¯s family is considered a moderately well-off family in Qingshuigou. When Old Man Li was young, he worked hard and endured hardships. Later, his two sons were in their prime.
In the past, the warehouse was full of food every year, and they still kept three pigs. After the locust plague, the food shortage caused the three small pigs to be killed. No, after two years of famine, there was still a pig's foot in the house.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
They didn't just take care of the land at home. Cuizhi and Wang Guihua often took some sewing and washing work from the town. Old man Li made bamboo baskets and sold them. Although they didn't make a lot of money, they were better than nothing. The people on the road are much better. No matter how small the grasshopper is, it is still meat.
After washing for two hours, Cuizhi finally washed all the clothes and hung them on a bamboo pole to dry at the other end of the room, ready to make dinner.
After a while, I heard the clang of the wooden door of the yard, and the village head Chen Fengfenghuohuo strode into the house. He came to the side of Old Man Li and warmed his hands. young married woman?"
Old Man Li and Mr. Wang became excited when they heard this, "Uncle Chen, what does this mean? Have you ever heard of a girl from a family who doesn't despise us two-gods? If so, just ask for whatever requests their family has. My old Li family will not treat their daughter badly."
The village chief frowned, "It's not that Aunt Zhang and her family were selling girls. Mrs. Liu came to the village. She forced me to say that she had a stupid girl in her hands and asked if anyone would buy it and take her home as a wife. Son, this reminds me of your two dogs. Although Mrs. Liu¡¯s words are a bit unpleasant, she is not harsh. The girl is stupid but she can have a baby. After having a baby, the two dogs will have a place to live when they grow old, right?"
Old Man Li and Mr. Wang looked at each other without saying a word. Their Ergou family was a nice person, and he had a lot of energy in his work, but he needed someone to teach him. Originally, he wanted to marry Ergou a shrewd and calculating wife, and he could do it even in his childhood. Have a great time.
????????????????????????????? If you marry an equally stupid wife, and there is no one in the house who knows how to plan, then the old couple passes away, and the big dog and the second dog separate, how will the second dog live their lives?
Stir on the sideCuizhi, who was cooking rice noodles, had been listening silently. When no one spoke, he looked up and said, "Father, mother, let my daughter-in-law say something. My daughter-in-law thinks what Uncle Chen said is reasonable. The two dogs must have a queen, so buy that girl." Come back and keep Ergou as a companion. Dagou and I are willing to stay together and take care of Ergou and his wife. When Ergou's children grow up, they will have their own ideas. Whether they want to live together or separate, it's easy for you. The second elder can rest assured."
The village chief's eyes showed approval, "Look at your wife, Brother Li. I don't know how many lifetimes you spent burning incense to get such a good daughter-in-law. She understands the truth and right from wrong, is humble and filial, manages the household well, and knows everything about the family." Xing, Ergou also took good care of her. Unlike my daughters-in-law, they started quarreling in the first and second bedrooms from the moment they entered the house, and even before I died, they called for separation."
Mrs. Wang and Mr. Li were very satisfied with their daughter-in-law. Mrs. Wang felt a little sorry, "Cuizhi, you are sensible and filial. My mother knows that Ergou is not your responsibility. If you marry a stupid wife for Ergou, you Isn¡¯t the burden on me even heavier? My mother feels distressed.¡±
Cuizhi put the corn noodles into the steamer and steamed them, smiling softly, "Mom, what are you talking about? It's not like Ergou doesn't work, he's even better than the big dog. If he can support his wife and children, the big dog and I are the most important." Whether you tell Ergou what to do with your words, it doesn't make much difference whether you live together or live apart. Besides, that silly girl is not necessarily useless. I will teach Ergou patiently and I should be able to clean up Ergou and the child."
Old man Li and Wang were a little moved when Cuizhi said this, "Then let's go see that silly girl? If it's suitable, buy it back."
Cuizhi put down the dustpan and wiped her hands, "The cold wind is blowing outside. Mom, you and dad are cooking at home. Uncle Chen and I will just go and take a look. Mom, don't worry while I'm working."
"Don't worry, Mom." Mrs. Wang responded with a smile on her face, "Cuizhi, just wait." She got up and went to the bedroom to take out a small cloth bag and handed it to Cuizhi, "This is the savings of Mom and your father over the years. It can be used to support the family in the past two years." I have used a lot, but there is not much money left. Fortunately, things are going to be a good harvest year next year. You can use the money as you like. If there is more, you can keep it. If it is less then we won¡¯t buy it. It¡¯s just that the fate of the two dogs has not come.¡±
Cuizhi took the bag with both hands, "I understand, mother."
The village chief stood up and said, "Let's go, big dog daughter-in-law. There should be a lot of money. Aunt Wang's clever and sensible daughter only sold for six taels of silver. This fool is probably not worth the price. Let's kill the price. It's really not worth the difference." I¡¯ll add the money to you first.¡±
Mrs. Liu waited for a long time in the cold wind at the entrance of the village. Her face was flushed and she was very impatient. When she saw the village chief going back and forth with a buyer, she forced a smile and said, "Big brother, you are asking me to Good to wait, how about it? Have you brought the money?"
Cuizhi stepped forward, "You have to let me see that girl first, and then we can discuss the price."
"Of course, you have to see the goods first." Mrs. Liu motioned to the strong man. The red marks on the strong man's face were still very obvious. She carefully pulled Dongqing off the carriage with lingering fear.
Mrs. Liu leaned in front of Cuizhi, "Look, look, what else is there to choose from with this beauty? Tsk, tsk, Dongqing turned out to be the personal maid of the dignified Princess Xiang. Later, she fell her head and became stupid before selling it. Buy it back. It¡¯s definitely not a loss.¡±
Mrs. Liu's face didn't turn red when she told lies. At this time, her face turned red from the cold, and even if she was red, she couldn't tell.
Cuizhi listened to Mrs. Liu's ramble, looked at the holly carefully, turned around and asked, "How much do you plan to sell it for? There is a famine in our village, and I can't afford it."
With a look of pain on her face, Mrs. Liu stretched out her fingers and made a sign of ten, "A big girl like Dongqing, who is of high quality and is proficient in all kinds of account books, chess, calligraphy and painting, usually has to be sold for twenty or thirty taels of silver, but now She is already stupid, so I don¡¯t care, I will sell it to you for ten taels of silver.¡±
Cuizhi shook her head, "We are all rough people, and we don't need the privileges of those rich families. We just want to buy a wife. It doesn't matter whether she is ugly or beautiful. And if she is stupid, she won't know anything, even ordinary people." She doesn't know how to do it. You only spent six taels of silver to buy a smart girl. How can you ask for ten taels of silver for a stupid girl who doesn't know anything? I can only afford three taels. If I don't sell it, I'll just have to pay for it. Forget it."
Mrs. Liu gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, give me the money, and she will be yours."
Mrs. Liu¡¯s heart bleeds. She spent eight taels of silver to buy the holly, but now she paid fifty taels for it. But it's better than losing a big customer like Prince Xiang's Mansion and not being able to get back a penny. It's also comfortable to use it to buy a few soju.
Cuizhi took out the only three pieces of broken silver left in the bag besides the copper plates, exchanged the deed of betrayal from Mrs. Liu and ignored them.
He took off his cotton-padded jacket and put it on Dongqing, and looked at the village chief, "Thank you, Uncle Chen. It's too cold, why don't you come home with me for dinner."
The village chief waved his hand, "No, my food is almost ready. But you, please go home quickly without wearing a cotton-padded jacket, and don't get sick." The village chief was a little envious of the daughter-in-law of Old Man Li's family. She was a good talker and had no need for bargaining. he.
Cuizhi watched the village chief walk out for a while, turned around and pulled Dongqing back, "Your name is Dongqing, right? We will be a family from now on." (Remember this website's website address: www.hlnovel.com)?, my food is almost cooked, but you, please go home quickly without wearing a cotton-padded jacket, so as not to get sick. "The village chief is a little envious of Old Man Li's daughter-in-law, who is so eloquent that he is completely useless in bargaining.
Cuizhi watched the village chief walk out for a while, turned around and pulled Dongqing back, "Your name is Dongqing, right? We will be a family from now on."
