Chapter 154 Mother and Child
In the early morning, the Cui family became lively again. It was said that there were guests. When Cui Jingping went out to carry water and Cui Wei released the dog, he saw that the door of the Cui family was open. The two faces were bleak, and the thin figure of a large and a small figure stood outside the door of the Cui family. The old woman is about fifty years old. Her hair is a little gray, her face is colorful, and she is dressed in several patches of coarse cloth. Her back is a little bent and she looks extremely poor. The young man, about fourteen or fifteen years old, is short and thin, wearing a brand-new blue cloth jacket. Compared with the woman, his clothes look much more decent.
However, the man was so thin that he looked empty in a thick robe. He covered his mouth with a handkerchief in one hand and didn't make a few sounds from time to time. He coughed as if even his lungs were about to fall out. As soon as the woman heard him cough, she patted his back and looked worried and anxious. When Cui Wei passed by, the woman turned her head and took a look. When she saw Cui Wei, her eyes lit up.
Today, the little girl is wearing a light green jacket embroidered with flowers. Her lower body is a thick pleated skirt, layer by layer, showing both playfulness and clever vitality. He wore two small white fur balls on his head, against the black hair, which made people unconsciously happy. The teenager seemed to feel the woman's eyes. Then he turned his head and looked at Cui Wei. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. He put the veil in his hand, turned his head and arched his hand to Cui Wei.
Two strangers, whom they didn't know before, seemed to have the impression that there were no two relatives in the Cui family. Cui Wei didn't pay attention to them. She just thought it was a relative of the Cui family that she had never seen before, so she nodded to these two people, and then turned to her home. When the young man just turned Wei saw that his face was pale, and the inside was cyan, like a living dead. The figure, the wind would blow down, as if he would shake it a few times as soon as the cold wind blew. The cough was clearly heard from afar, as if even his heart and lungs were about to jump out.
As soon as Cui Wei left, the woman squatted her lips: "The little girl looks good, and she looks good in her clothes. I don't know which big family it is. If you can ask me for such a daughter-in-law in the future and help you, I'm also satisfied." As she spoke, she shook her head and sighed. She just dared to say what she said in her mouth and thought about it. How could she dare she have such a thought? As soon as the teenager heard her words, he coughed even more, and his voice made people couldn't help frowning. His face, which was still a little blue and white, hurriedly said, "Mom... cough..."
Maybe the cough here disturbed the people in the room. Soon a man came out of the door at the door of Cui's house. He could see clearly through the open courtyard door, and the woman shouted, "Fang'er!" Being shouted by her, Kong was quickly surprised and happy, and greeted him: "My mother and my little brother are here. I've been waiting for a long time. I didn't expect you to come at this time. Is the road delayed?" The Kong family was originally in Shixi Village, several villages away from here. If they walked here, it would take at least more than an hour. Kong was waiting anxiously. When he saw his mother and brother coming, he was suddenly happy. While holding the young man, he wanted to go inside and said, "Now it happens that Erlang is back. Come in quickly. Did the little brother's old disease happen again? He needs to pay more attention to his body. If he doesn't have enough money, you can tell me that I still have a spin, which may be worth a hundred and ten copper coins, which is enough to catch medicine.
The teenager coughed so much that he couldn't speak, but just looked at Kong with a guilty face. The Confucius Xiucai died early, leaving his sister and brother and a mother, Shao, and the family almost survived. In those years, Kong Xiucai's body was weak. He married a Shao Si who only knew three and four virtues. In the end, Kong Xiucai vomited blood and died. He didn't earn much money at that time. Even if he occasionally wrote some letters for others to earn some copper money, most of it was put into his medicine money. When he died His body was so weak that he almost couldn't feed him in those years. Later, he was carefully raised to the big one, but it made the Kong family even poorer, and the debt was high. Kong's relationship with his brother's mother since he was a child was very good, and the Kong family owed a lot of debts. No one nearby was willing to If you buy one, you have to give two for it.
In the end, only Yang was the ignorant. He thought that he had picked up a cheap one and spent two taels of silver to carry him back. The two taels of silver were paid off by the Shao family. He also took medicine for Kong Pengshou. Usually, the mother and son had a hard time. Once Kong family got married, the Shao family only Peng Shou only knows how to study, but he can't do housework. Besides, he is weak. Naturally, Shao won't let him touch a little fireworks. The mother and son are living a tight life. They can have a meal today, so he got up early in the morning.
Kong Shi also knew the situation at home. Seeing Kong Pengshou's appearance, he didn't know what he was thinking. He couldn't help but feel sore and quickly welcomed him in. In the room, Yang saw the mother and son of the in-laws coming, and there was a smile on his face. In any case, Shao's mother and son are soft and easy to handle. Compared with the Wang family, I don't know how many times it is easy to clean up, and they are orphans and widowed, and they can't make Looking at Kong Pengshou's appearance that he was about to die at any time, he was a little dissatisfied, but he still put up with it and said with a smile:
"My in-laws are coming. I also said that it's this time. I don't know if it's delayed on the way."
Mr. Shao sat down nervously. While helping his son, he also sat down. Mr. Kong was busy preparing to get hot water to get a sweat towel to wipe their faces. Then Mr. Shao said with a smile, "Your mother-in-law is polite. My brother is weak, and he will walk slower all the way, but it will cause trouble to As soon as she finished speaking, Wang's eyes, who had been holding the child, fell on Kong Pengshou. After looking at it for a long time, she suddenly felt that something was wrong, and her eyes had been staring at Kong Pengshou. Everyone chatted and did not notice her for a while. Cui Shifu was ashamed to always look at his daughter- Therefore, he didn't notice it. On the contrary, it was Cui Jinghuai who stared at Wang several times, and Wang did not restrain him a little.
Kong Pengshou's appearance is beautiful, but he has a sick smell and a smell of bitter medicine. Fortunately, he is a scholar, which makes Yang look up to him. Hearing Shao's words, he immediately boasted along her topic:
"I look at Pengshou, but he is a promising person. He is so literal that there is no one who studies." Yang hasn't read the book either. He doesn't know how to praise people. As soon as he said this, Cui Jingzhong couldn't help wrinkled his head. However, Cui Jingzhong's words were not favored by Cui Jingzhong, which made the Shao family very happy. He quickly smiled and complimented Cui Jingzhong.
There is no mother who doesn't like to be praised his son. Originally, the Yang family just wanted to deal with this poor in-laws, but after a few words, he really gave birth to some close feelings. Looking at his age, he knew that Kong Pengshou was not young. He said, "In-laws, I Your Pengshou is 14 years old, right? I don't know if you said you didn't say kiss?"
When the Yang family married the Kong family and went home, the Kong family was 16 years old. At this age, it was very rare to say that they were married. If it hadn't been for Yang's quick action, the Kong family would have been married in half a month. If you have to follow the normal etiquette, I'm afraid you may not be At the beginning, Kong was three years older than her brother. Kong has been married for a year. Kong Pengshou should be fourteen years old. If he drags on, I'm afraid he is old. The Kong family has neither a man nor a family background. Kong Pengshou's appearance is sick and crooked. I'm afraid it's not easy Sun is up.
"Alas, don't hide it from the in-laws. The in-laws also know the situation of our family. Where can anyone look at it? If the in-laws have a daughter who can't pity us, she will get married. Shao's words just sighed inadvertently. It was not impossible to exchange daughters-in-law with each other in the countryside, but it was only done by people who were too poor to marry a daughter-in-law. When Shao said this, not only did Cui Shifu's face cold, but also Yang's face was a little bad.
She was not very angry with Shao's words, but she was a little dissatisfied. When she married Kong, she was the wife of Ming Media and spent a few taels of silver to go out. Now listening to Shao's words, it seems that a son doesn't want to spend money, so she wants to get a daughter to go back for nothing. Fortunately It doesn't matter, otherwise if she hears about this, with her character, she won't make a big fuss? Yang is also a little dissatisfied. Who wants to marry this Kong boy? It's really bad luck! She is dying at a young age, and her family is still very poor. Even those who want to sell their daughters don't like them. Even if Cui Wei doesn't fall out with Yang, Yang can't do it. What's more, now she can't take care of Cui Wei's marriage.
However, I knew that I knew about this, but Yang was still a little not happy when he heard Shao's tone. He said with a heavy face and said, "It's not appropriate to say this to my in-laws. Even if I have a daughter, there is no reason to give it to others for nothing when I raise her up. Your daughter, " Shao originally thought that her daughter was already a family after she married to two families. Hearing Yang's words, she was suddenly a little confused, her face was hot, and she said submissively, "Don't be surprised. I'm a woman, and I don't understand these truths." After saying that, she turned around and said, "Just now I saw a little girl passing by in front of my in-laws' house. She was dressed and good-looking, but I don't know who's family, and she is also worthy of our brother Shou. If she can be a daughter-in-law, look at her clothes. Even if I die in Hey!". RS
