Happy Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 714 Peppers

At this time, Lin Tieniu had already sat down in the living room under Lan Liangmin's greeting.

It is not quite accurate to say that it is the living room, because in the space of less than twenty square meters in total, there are not only a set of coal stoves, a set of tables, chairs and benches, but also a simple wooden board in the inner corner. The bed can be regarded as a multi-kinetic energy zone.

In addition, connected to the living room are two rooms of about the same size, one on the left and one on the right, which are filled with various things, including cabinets, shelves, beds, clothes, quilts, etc., which are obviously used as bedrooms.

Moreover, from the styles of clothes placed inside, it can be seen that there are three generations living in this family, and the younger generation has men and women, which can be regarded as a relatively prosperous population.

And with a large number of people in the family, naturally there would be not enough room to live, otherwise, there would not be a bed in the living room.

Seeing this situation, Lin Tieniu was not surprised at all, because in this era, most families are like this.

Some families with difficult housing conditions even have to borrow a place to live with others, or a large family is crowded in a small room, and it is not very convenient to turn around, let alone between husband and wife. That's it.

Just when he was wondering why he didn't see Lan Qiaoer, Yuan Shuihong walked in, put the gift in the corner, and said with a warm smile, "I remember Sister-in-law Feng said, your name is Lin Tieniu, right?" !"

"Yes, Auntie!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Tieniu hurriedly smiled and nodded in reply.

"Well, I heard that you are the director of the cafeteria in the rolling mill? Does that mean you are a leading cadre?"

Yuan Shuihong's eyes flashed, and then she asked again.

"Well, that's it!"

Lin Tieniu frowned, then nodded calmly and said.

He didn't understand why Yuan Shuihong suddenly asked about this matter, was he planning to ask him to help with something?

"Oh! I didn't expect it! My daughter is so lucky to be favored by a leading cadre!"

Yuan Shuihong slapped her thigh suddenly, and then said happily.

"."

Lin Tieniu froze for a moment, then felt a little speechless in his heart.

Dare Yuan Shuihong asked him about this, just to say that Lan Qiaoer is blessed?

"Tie Niu! I've heard about you and my daughter. Since you both fell in love with each other, then I have no problem with her father. You can take her home tomorrow and live a good life." .”

Yuan Shuihong glanced at Lan Liangmin, then said with a friendly smile.

"Thank you, aunt and uncle, for trusting me. I guarantee that Qiaoer will have a good life in the future."

Lin Tieniu smiled slightly, and then said gratefully.

After finishing speaking, he saw Xu Erfeng winking at him, so he thought about it, and hurriedly took out the 100 yuan from his pocket, put it in front of Yuan Shuihong, and then said: "Auntie, this is the agreed 100 yuan. Please accept the betrothal gift of [-] yuan!"

"Hey, good!"

When Yuan Shuihong saw the 100 yuan, his eyes lit up suddenly, and then he nodded with a smile and said.

As she spoke, she reached out and took the money in her hand.

Fortunately, she didn't count them one by one in front of Lin Tieniu, otherwise, that greedy face would be too ugly.

Lin Tieniu glanced at Yuan Shuihong, then looked left and right, and asked softly, "By the way, Auntie, why didn't I see Qiaoer?"

"Oh! You said Qiao'er! She went to find someone to exchange coarse grains with her elder brother early in the morning, and she should be back later."

Yuan Shuihong heard the words, replied casually, then gave Lan Liangmin a wink, then got up and walked to the bedroom beside him, apparently wanting to put away the money first.

"Well, Tieniu, drink some water first!"

Seeing this, Lan Liangmin hurriedly greeted him.

As he spoke, he picked up the kettle and wanted to pour some water for Lin Tieniu.

"Uncle, you are welcome, I will come by myself!"

Lin Tieniu stretched out his hand to block it, and took the kettle over.

Lan Liangmin was not very polite, just sat there quietly and looked at Lin Tieniu, with a slightly complicated look in his eyes.

As the saying goes, a daughter is father's little padded jacket.

And Lan Qiaoer, as his eldest daughter, is so cute, and he usually likes it very much. If it weren't for his daughter-in-law's patriarchal temperament, he would probably be able to spoil Lan Qiaoer to the sky. .

Now, Lan Qiaoer is about to marry suddenly. Although the marriage is not bad, it still makes him feel very reluctant.

That's why he was so indifferent to Lin Tieniu, and even didn't want to see Lin Tieniu at first.

If he knew that Lan Qiaoer would have to serve Lin Tieniu with other women after she got married, I'm afraid he could fight Lin Tieniu with a knife on the spot.

Lin Tieniu didn't know what Lan Liangmin was thinking, he just felt that Lan Liangmin didn't like him a bit, otherwise, he wouldn't have given the gift to Yuan Shuihong directly.

Soon, he took a sip of water from his teacup, and then gave Xu Erfeng a wink, wanting her to ease the atmosphere.

Seeing this, Xu Erfeng hurriedly pulled Lan Liangmin to talk about the daily life, and finally got over the awkward atmosphere in front of him.

After a while, there was a sudden sound of footsteps at the door, followed by a slightly cute voice.

"Dad, Mom, is my brother-in-law here?"

Lin Tieniu turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw a little girl about fifteen or sixteen years old running in excitedly from outside the house. Her appearance was somewhat similar to Lan Qiaoer's, especially her chubby face. And the proud bear's mouth, it's like it was printed from the same mold.

At first glance, he thought it was Lan Qiaoer who came back!

Lan Ling'er just ran into the room, before Lan Liangmin could speak, she saw Lin Tieniu sitting in the room, and her eyes lit up instantly.

Then, she ran up to Lin Tieniu, blinked her big eyes, and asked, "Are you my brother-in-law?"

"Ling'er, don't mess around, you are already a big girl, how can you be so shameless!"

When Lan Liangmin saw Lan Linger's actions, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and he hurriedly reprimanded her.

Since ancient times, there have been many romantic affairs about his sister-in-law and brother-in-law. He didn't want his little daughter to get too close to Lin Tieniu, lest something embarrassing happen accidentally.

"He's my brother-in-law, and he's not an outsider. Why don't I feel ashamed talking to him?"

When Lan Ling'er heard Lan Liangmin's words, not only did she not walk away from Lin Tieniu, she even retorted with dissatisfaction.

"you"

Lan Liangmin was speechless for a while when he heard the words.

He couldn't say that he was worried about something that shouldn't happen to his sister-in-law and brother-in-law!

"Hey, you haven't answered me yet? Are you my brother-in-law?"

Seeing that Lan Liangmin had nothing to say, Lan Linger had a smug look on his face, and then asked Lin Tieniu again.

"Well, if your sister is Lan Qiaoer, then I should be!"

Lin Tieniu looked at the girl in front of him who looked cute but was actually a bit eccentric, and couldn't help laughing and joked.

"What do you mean should be? Yes, yes, no, no, you old man, why don't you speak comfortably at all?"

Lan Linger frowned, and then said with some dissatisfaction.

"."

When Lin Tieniu heard this, he choked for a moment.

Dare to love his sister-in-law, who still smells like a little pepper!
"Ling'er, what are you talking about? Are there any rules? If you have nothing to do, go into the house quickly and don't make trouble here."

Lan Liangmin frowned, then reprimanded him in a deep voice.

Compared with Lan Qiaoer, the eldest daughter, Lan Linger, the youngest daughter, is here for revenge. There are only a few days in a year that can make him feel at ease.

In addition, when his wife was pregnant with Lan Ling'er, he thought it would be a son, but it turned out to be a daughter, so naturally he didn't like this little daughter very much.

"Oh!"

Seeing that Lan Liangmin was really angry, Lan Ling'er shrank her head immediately, then nodded reluctantly, then slowly turned and walked towards the bedroom.

Before leaving, she did not forget to stare at Lin Tieniu, as if she was blaming Lin Tieniu for letting her be scolded.

Seeing this, Lin Tieniu couldn't help feeling that his little sister-in-law was quite interesting, like the little girl next door in the 21st century.

"Well, Tie Niu, don't mind! This girl is usually spoiled by her sister, and she talks about the big and the small."

Lan Liangmin saw Lan Linger's small movements, and hurriedly said with some embarrassment.

"It's okay, uncle, I think it's good for her to be like this, at least she doesn't treat me as an outsider."

Lin Tieniu waved his hand and said with a smile.

"."

When Lan Liangmin heard the words, he didn't know how to answer the conversation.

Dare he treat Lin Tieniu as an outsider?
Seeing Lan Liangmin's reaction, Lin Tieniu was a little happy, and then he didn't want to explain or remedy.

Because, he said that on purpose just now, in order to remind Lan Liangmin that he is now the son-in-law of the Lan family, so don't give him the same face as before.

"Hey, let me say Liangmin, you little girl should have one this year, right?"

At this time, Xu Erfeng glanced at Lan Linger's prominently developed figure, and couldn't help asking.

"Yes, I remember that I just turned eighteen not long ago, why are you asking this?"

Lan Liangmin nodded, and then asked with some doubts.

"Then you didn't plan to find a good husband's family for her in advance?"

Xu Erfeng was overjoyed, and then asked tentatively.

A girl like Lan Ling'er, who is easy to give birth to, has always been popular in blind dates. Now that she just has the opportunity, she must first get this high-quality resource.

Although in this day and age, the age at which girls can get married is 20 years old, but sometimes if they see each other right, and the parents of both parties agree to the end, it is not impossible to talk about the object first, or to get engaged first.

"No, she's still young, don't worry about it!"

After Lan Liangmin heard this, he shook his head hastily and said without thinking.

At this time, he was still counting on Lan Linger to replace Lan Qiaoer as his caring little padded jacket in the future!How could he be willing to marry Lan Linger so soon.

unless
Unless his two sons can marry a wife sooner.

Then, in order to free up a room for the wedding room, he can only consider marrying Lan Ling'er in advance.

Having said that, the reason why Xu Erfeng agreed so readily this time to help Lin Tieniu propose a marriage was not to get some dowry back so that his two sons could find a good partner?

Sometimes, there are too many sister-in-laws who are not married, but it will be disgusting.

Not to mention, his two sons are not very capable, one is a first-class worker in a chemical factory, and the other is a first-class worker in a soy sauce factory.

It seems that the conditions are not bad, but there is nothing to be proud of. If you want to marry a better wife, you have to try to find some compensation from other places.

For example, give more dowry gifts, improve housing conditions, and so on.

Needless to say, Xu Erfeng could guess about these situations, so when she heard what Lan Liangmin said, she didn't feel very disappointed, as long as she could leave an introduction for the future.

"Why are you so young! Sister Feng, don't listen to his nonsense, I'm planning to trouble you to find a good husband's house for our little girl!"

Suddenly, a voice sounded from the bedroom door, and then Yuan Shuihong hurried over and sat beside Xu Erfeng.

"Really?"

When Xu Erfeng heard this, he immediately asked in surprise.

If what Yuan Shuihong said is true, then she will be able to complete many blind date tasks in the future.

With Lan Linger's appearance and figure, she will definitely attract the attention of many unmarried young men, and she will get a lot of benefits from it no matter whether the matter is successful or not.

And this is the reason why rare goods can live.

"Of course it's true, but before that, you have to help our two boys find a good wife!"

Yuan Shuihong nodded, and then said shrewdly.

When Lan Liangmin heard what Yuan Shuihong said, he swallowed back the words he wanted to refute.

And Xu Erfeng frowned directly, and then said with a face of embarrassment: "I can't promise you that I can do this!"

"It's okay. With your ability as a matchmaker for so many years, I believe that as long as you are willing to help us find it with some snacks, it will definitely be possible."

Yuan Shuihong waved her hand, and directly put a top hat on Xu Erfeng.

"Then let me try it first! If I find a suitable partner, I will come and let you know!"

When Xu Erfeng heard the words, he couldn't directly open his mouth to evade, so he could only reluctantly nodded in agreement.

"Great! Then let's make an agreement like this. If the matter is settled, I will definitely give you a big profit as a matchmaker!"

Yuan Shuihong was overjoyed, and then hurriedly settled the matter.

Seeing that his eldest daughter is about to get married, and his two sons have not yet settled down, it would be a bit embarrassing to say it.

Therefore, the most urgent task now is to marry her two sons a daughter-in-law, so that their family will not be laughed at.

Lin Tieniu sat quietly and watched, and his understanding of this cheap mother-in-law deepened in his heart.

At the same time, he also realized more deeply how deeply the idea of ​​patriarchy is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in this era.

Just when he was thinking about whether Lan Ling'er would just marry Yuan Shuihong early, there was another sound of heavy footsteps outside the door.
