Traveling through books in the 70s: The group favors the Wang family’s little koi carp

"Youpeng has almost saved up during this period. He is just waiting for his Uncle Hoe to come back. No, as soon as Uncle Hoe comes back, I will have someone deliver a letter to Youpeng. Let's get the marriage done as soon as possible. Yes, over at Hongying in the province..."

The rest is hard for Shen Jiang, a man, to open his mouth to say.

But except for Shen Youwu and Shen Yousheng, no one in the room knew how to deal with the world.

Mrs. Cai's eyes widened: "What? Someone said something about Hongying again? I asked why this girl had to go home yesterday."

Shen Jiang nodded and did not deny it. He was now the vice captain, and Youpeng was still a worker. Countless families in the village were eyeing Youpeng and wanted to recruit Youpeng as their son-in-law.

Of course, no one dares to say anything about his family.

But behind his back, whether Hongying's words were unpleasant or not, it was all spread to his ears.

Mrs. Cai regretted in her heart: "Tell me, I've been busy making clothes these days and haven't gone out. If Spring Flower and Lotus Flower don't come to talk to me about home affairs, I'll be as deaf as I don't know anything."

The old lady really regretted it: "Hongying is staying at our house, how can we let her leave us to suffer the grievance? Wait, I will go to Chunhua's house tomorrow, and I would like to ask who is the one with the big mouth? You are talking behind your back!"

The old lady is tough now.

Her son and grandson are all promising, and her son is still the vice-captain of the village. Now that she goes out, who in the village will not praise her and support her?

This is also the reason why the old lady doesn't like to leave the house now. In the past, when the Shen family was not separated, she was like a long-term worker in the old Shen family. After she went out, which woman in the village would like her?

Now, everyone began to treat her as a dish and a figure. This change in attitude made Mrs. Cai impatient to deal with it.

Shen Jiang stopped Mrs. Cai: "Forget it, tomorrow we will find a matchmaker to go to Qianyu Village to settle the marriage, and those people in the village will stop."

Otherwise, even if they come to the door one by one, they will not be able to admit what they said behind their backs, and it will be useless.

"Yes, let's go with the whole family tomorrow, give them important gifts, and show them how much our family values ​​Hongying girl!"

……

The next day, the Shen family, wearing new cotton-padded jackets made for the New Year, and carrying large and small parcels, happily borrowed an ox cart and headed to Qianyu Village.

Shen Jin was held in Shen Niannian's arms, listening to her shouting greetings to people.

"Hey, where are you going, Mrs. Hu? Picking vegetables on your private plot...what? Oh, why don't I let my eldest grandson propose marriage to my future in-laws?"

"What do you mean there hasn't been any news before? You don't know Hongying girl? What a good girl. Thanks to my old lady's sharp eyesight, she fell in love with her at a glance. She was also afraid that the girl would run away and even her father would I have taken him and recognized him as his son."

"Yes, I started quickly. I kept my eye under my nose, for fear that the granddaughter-in-law I was interested in would be snatched away."

Someone with sharp eyes saw what the Shen family brought and came over to ask about Mrs. Cai.

Mrs. Cai recognized who this person was at a glance. The girl who stopped Youpeng from stuffing buns into Youpeng's arms was the old woman's daughter. Youpeng said that the girl blocked him several times later.

Even if Youpeng explained to others that he had a partner, the girl still plausibly said that he hadn't received the certificate yet. She didn't believe that he couldn't compare to Youpeng's partner. Her family ate white noodles every day, and Youpeng's partner's family had the same conditions as hers. good?

She also said that her mother said that as long as Youpeng and she get married, and the two of them move to the city, her mother's family will take care of all their food rations from now on...

Mrs. Cai had heard these words at that time. As an elder, she couldn't say anything about a junior behind her back. She only muttered in her heart that a daughter is not sensible and a mother is also confused.

Mrs. Cai doesn't object to chasing men, but when she chases men, she promises all the benefits. She is not afraid of recruiting a Zhongshan wolf who just wants to take advantage.

Such a fool, even if Youpeng didn't talk to Hongying, she couldn't let Youpeng find such a fool.

I laughed it off at the time, but now I can tell with my fingers that this old woman must have been the one behind the plot.

Knowing something in her heart, the old lady narrowed her eyes and picked up the cloth in her arms in a showy way: "Isn't this an engagement? We can't let this girl suffer. All the girls in the city wear clothes made by Deliang."

"We don't know what kind of clothes little girls like now, so we just buy two pieces of fine cloth and let the girls make whatever they want."

The words fell, causing a burst of exclamations from the surrounding people.

A pair of cotton socks would be the best engagement gift in the village. My dear, the eldest grandson of the Shen family would be gifted a fashionable gift in the city for his engagement.

One for free and two for free?

The oxcart moved slowly, which made it easier for Mrs. Cai to show off her goods: "There is also meat that Youpeng bought specially when he came back. Look at how fat the meat is. Jiangzi said that he had to get two chickens to make it." Pairs."

Now let alone the girl who gave the steamed buns and her mother were jealous, even the aunts who had been following the car to join in the fun had their eyes red with soreness.

Looking at the things in the arms of the Shen family, they knew that they must be good things. Some people were jealous and deliberately did not ask Mrs. Cai what the remaining things were.

Instead, he found another way and said sourly: "If you bring these older gifts, you will definitely not pay for the betrothal gift, right? How much are these discounts? Marrying a wife is not like marrying a golden doll. As for throwing away the money like this?"

Mrs. Cai pretended to be surprised: "Look what you are saying. Gifts are one thing, and gift money is another. Such a good girl will marry our family in the future, how can we lose others?"

The old lady pointed to her inner pocket: "Old lady, I can bring enough gifts, but I can't wrong my grandson-in-law."

She didn't say how much it would cost, but looking at the situation, it was definitely not less.

Old Mrs. Cai raised her chin and glanced at the pink eyes around her: "It's not that my old lady is flattering others. If you ask me, this Hongying girl deserves this."

"We old ladies all live in the same village. Who doesn't know who's family? You have an idea of ​​what our family was like before. At that time, whose house did my old lady go to propose marriage to my eldest grandson without getting looked down upon?"

As soon as this was said out loud.

And some of the ladies who followed the car looked away in embarrassment.

What Mrs. Cai said was not a lie. Seeing that Youpeng was getting older year by year, she had tried to talk to a few old sisters who had good conversations with each other while chatting in private.

I want to test the waters and see if I can have children and in-laws.

But when the wind came out, no one picked her up.

Some not only refused to pick up the fight, but even mocked her, saying, "Why do you expect to get a granddaughter-in-law when your family is starving to death?"

I used to think of her as my sister, Cai Guixian, but I didn't expect that my sister didn't come for her old lady. Instead, she was secretly thinking about her granddaughter, and she didn't care whether she was worthy of her!

Mrs. Cai didn't mention how unpleasant her words were, but now she was finally feeling proud. Although she didn't deal with the villain's success, she wanted to remind these people that she had not forgotten what happened back then.

An aunt who rejected Mrs. Cai at the beginning had the courage to explain: "Sister Cai, to be honest, you know what your family's conditions were back then and what they are now. How could a family who loves their daughter agree to you in the first place?"

This is not true.

"So I don't want to dig up old scores and embarrass you. My old lady is bringing this up now just to say that when you all looked down on Youpeng of our family, Hongying didn't look down on Youpeng, so you must be kind and don't Say anything unpleasant behind your back to others."
