Crossing the green wheat ears

Dayan chatted with grandma all afternoon, poured out the worries to grandma, and felt much better. Seeing that it was getting late, she patted her body and planned to go home. It was time to make dinner.

"Yan'er, come here, this is the dried tofu made by your second uncle and his family. I brought it to my aunt today. You can take a few yuan back and make it for your old man." Niang Xiyuan hurried out from the back room and took Wrapped a few pieces of dried tofu in oiled paper for Dayan, she didn't use anything on a bowl or plate, because she was afraid that Dayan would lose face, so she was embarrassed to take it.

Dr. Li's house is in the middle of the village, and Dayan will definitely meet people in the village when she goes back. People who see her taking things from Xi's house should talk about this and that.

Dayan didn't refuse either, she was too polite and seemed heretic, she was about to go out with dried tofu, grandma picked up two melon leaves and handed them to Dayan, the melon leaves were big enough to wrap them in oil paper.

Dayan said goodbye to Xi's wife and then walked out the gate.Passing by the grapevine stand, he even touched Xi Wei's little head, wanting to touch Wei Cheng, but Wei Cheng hid it with a smile. He felt that he had grown up and could not let people touch his head casually. Grandma can touch.Dayan was not angry either, she patted Wei Cheng with a smile and left.

After dinner, Xiyuan ran into the vegetable garden and bent down to pick watermelons.

In spring, Xiyuan bought the watermelon seeds from Yansui City, and he bought them without taking care of them, so it was Xiyuan’s mother who planted them, and grandpa took care of them, fertilizing, weeding, and vine cutting.

Because the seedlings were planted early, some watermelons are already ripe now. Brother Xiyuan came to the garden these two days when he had nothing to do, and flicked the big watermelons with a "boom bang" like bouncing melons. Like a collapse, the adults are afraid that the watermelon will be destroyed before it is cooked.

Grandpa squatted by the side of the ditch, smoking a pipe pot, while watching his elder grandson picking watermelons, and seeing Xiyuan's impatient look, grandpa felt very satisfied, his elder grandson liked the watermelons he served, he felt that his efforts were not in vain, the old man had a kind heart .

Xiyuan spent a long time picking, not to mention, he really let a blind cat meet a dead mouse, and picked a very sweet one.

I went out of the garden with my grandfather, put the watermelon in a wooden barrel, and chilled it in the well for a while, then Xiyuan picked up a knife and cut the watermelon into small pieces.

Niang Xiyuan hurriedly brought a basin, and neatly stacked the cut watermelons in the basin. First, she picked a slice for each of the grandparents, the one with the sweetest in the middle and the fewest melon seeds, followed by a few small ones.

Others are alright, Xi Wei and Xi Yong, when the watermelon was frozen in the well, they turned around and it was the first time for them to eat watermelon.

The whole family sat around in the yard and quickly digested a large watermelon. Xi Mingwu and his wife went back to work, and grandpa went to add fodder to the pea pods.

Xiyuan, who felt that he had thought of a good way, sat under the vine trellis to enjoy the cool air with his grandma.

Wei Cheng was sitting on a bench, which was drawn by Xiyuan and made by an old carpenter. One was placed under the vine trellis, which was very similar to a bench in a modern park.

Xiyuan lay sideways on the bench, with his head resting on Wei Cheng's leg. Wei Cheng was never honest for a moment, but now that his brother was resting on his leg, he remained motionless. Xiyuan purposely remained silent to see how long he could hold on. .

Xi Wei, Xiyang, and Xiaoyong are studying in front of the grasshopper cage. It seems that they made it up according to their uncle. They want to make one by themselves. Xiyuan really can't understand it. It's just a grasshopper cage. Why is Xi Wei I can't get tired of watching it day by day.

After all, Wei Cheng was still young, and after sitting for a while, his buttocks looked like long nails. He twisted and twisted for a while, but he didn't make a sound, and Xiyuan didn't make things difficult for him. He sat up and helped grandma twist the rope. Some are used to tie sacks in autumn at home.

As soon as Xiyuan raised his head, Wei Chengzi slid away and ran away, but he couldn't sit still for a long time.Xiyuan and grandma glanced at each other, and they both secretly laughed, telling you to pretend to be an adult!

Seeing that there was no one else in front of him, Xiyuan told his grandma about his plan.He has no experience in this field, and he is afraid of doing bad things with good intentions, so he still has to discuss it with his grandma and let the old man give him an idea.

"You mean you want to marry a wife like Dayan for your uncle and uncle?" Grandma understood as soon as Xiyuan mentioned the topic. In fact, Xiyuan is worried these days, and grandma is also worried, and the old man is also weighing this in his heart. She didn't want her eldest grandson to worry about what to do.

"Grandma, look at my master's family. It's only been a long time since we got married, and it's completely changed. I think if my grandpa's family also married two such aunts, I would be able to live a good life." Xi Yuan looked hopeful Look at grandma.

"It's okay for you to be the main one, but you have to know that there are not many people like Dayan. Besides, your grandma and family are honest, unlike Li Tao, Dr. Li is also a tempered person. If you find two powerful ones, It's okay to live with Yixin. If you want to move all your things to your mother's house in your heart, it will be more troublesome than it is now. Also, your grandmother and two uncles are good-tempered. If your grandfather is alive, it is estimated that others will I still don’t dare to be angry with them, but your grandpa is seventy years old, and it’s hard to say how many years he can live. Once he is gone, if a powerful daughter-in-law is angry with your grandma and uncle, you will regret it when the time comes ?” Grandma broke the matter up and told the eldest grandson bit by bit.

"Ah?" Xiyuan opened his eyes when he heard that, he really didn't expect this aspect!

Yes, my uncle is better. My uncle and grandma are the ones who are scolded by others and don't know how to reply. When I meet a woman with a bad conscience, the bad days will never end!

"Then what should we do?" Xiyuan really surrendered, this one won't work, that one won't work, how to solve it!

"It's not impossible, but don't be in a hurry. You have to inquire slowly. Find someone who can live a good life and has a good heart. Your uncle is 21 this year. If you give more dowry, you may be able to marry a girl; your uncle is over 30. It's not easy to marry someone who has never been out of the family. I guess you have to find someone who has gone through the family. Far away, don't worry. " Seeing Xiyuan's lost look, grandma quickly explained.

"Okay, grandma, I'll listen to you. I'm afraid that people will not be happy to give any amount of dowry when they see my grandma's dilapidated house." Xiyuan muttered.

The old lady looked at her eldest grandson, secretly amused, this guy is still messing around with his grandma, saying something unclear, beating around the bush.However, maybe the eldest grandson couldn't open his mouth, and he was too embarrassed to say it.

"Is your grandma's house almost uninhabitable?" Grandma didn't want to embarrass her grandson, so she took the initiative to start the conversation.

"Grandma, you didn't look at it, the walls of their house are crooked! You can't say that it will fall when there is a heavy rain in summer. There are cracks in the corner of the wall, and they are all transparent! In winter, the wind can be poured in, which is better than that of Li Waiping's house in our village. The house is still broken." Li Waipin's house is the most dilapidated house Xiyuan has seen before, and now it belongs to grandpa's house.

"Our family is fine now, but your second uncle's family has to build a house in the coming year." Grandma hesitated, after all, compared with her son, her in-laws are closer.

"Grandma, the second uncle's house doesn't need that much now, and the second uncle said that it would be good to build four main rooms first, and I guess it's only 100 taels of silver at most. My grandfather's house doesn't need to be built too well, just use the ordinary tiles in the village. If you build a house like that, five or sixty taels of silver is enough to build five small rooms.” Xiyuan first told grandma the money to be spent.

The second aunt has to be strong, although she doesn't have enough money to build a house that can't be the same as her elder brother's house in everything, but she also wants to build one of the best in the village, so she spends more money.

Grandpa's house doesn't need it. Building them too well will attract people's attention. Ordinary brick and tile houses will do.

In fact, Xiyuan thought about building a mud house, which would save money.But, let's do it in one step, the brick and tile builder, he doesn't have to worry about it in his life, the mud house is quite young, and if the grandpa's house is not doing well by then, he will have to worry about it.

Xiyuan is a lazy person, and he doesn't want to go through the trouble again, but he just doesn't feel comfortable talking to his family. After all, in the eyes of people at this time, a few dozen taels of silver cannot be earned in a lifetime.

"Do you think our family can make up the money? Don't be short of it." Grandma trusts Xiyuan in this regard. When their house was built, Xiyuan prepared the money and things without rushing or panicking.

"Grandma, I haven't calculated the dividends for the first half of the year from Jude Building. For the second half of the year, plus our family's cooking, the second uncle's family has also saved a lot. I will calculate it and it will be enough." Xi Yuan Tell grandma about the future income of the family.

In fact, the dividends from Judelou and Sun Ye are enough, but who told him to hide it from his family, and now he is really shooting himself in the foot!If it doesn't work, lie and say that you borrowed some money from Sun Ye?Xiyuan summed it up, and it should be enough not to do so.

"My eldest grandson says it's okay. If your grandma's house builds a new house, your uncle will be able to talk about kissing. Don't worry about your uncle, he's getting old anyway, so let's find a suitable one slowly." Although grandma said reluctantly, Money, but one is for the grandson, and the other is for Xiyuan Niang.

Although the eldest daughter-in-law said that her life was difficult, she was capable and had a good temper. After being married to the eldest for so many years, the two mothers seldom blush.What you say is what you say, and people have no other ideas at all.

The boss and the third child are so quarrelsome, and sometimes I even help the third child's family, bringing some food and drink to the third child's family. Whether the eldest daughter-in-law is happy or not, she never says "no".Now the third child and the eldest brother are angry, and they don’t want to come here, but the little one often comes, and the eldest daughter-in-law treats the child the same as the second child’s family. She has never shown any embarrassment.

When people want to get along with each other, no matter whether it is a family or people with different surnames, they have to pay attention to how they come and go, and they can't just dig the soil on one side, otherwise, over time, people's hearts will be cold, and when people's hearts are cold, It's not easy to get warm again.

Therefore, if the eldest grandson wants to talk about grandma's affairs, not only can she and the old man not stop him, but also have to help, and the eldest daughter-in-law will not be at a loss.It can be said that Niang Xiyuan's tolerance over the years has paid off.

"Grandma, this is a matter of dozens of taels of silver, don't you feel bad?" Xiyuan couldn't believe his ears. He originally planned that if his family members were reluctant to part with the money, they would have to marry someone like Dr. Li's family. Good daughter-in-law let them take their time.But grandma's words actually solved all the problems.Xiyuan had no choice but to admire grandma's heart, and was determined to do things.

With Granny's support, it's much easier to get moving.Xiyuan went to see his father the next day to discuss building a house for his grandfather's house.He can only talk about these things, he doesn't know anything about the actual operation, and his father has to think about it and make up his mind.

"If we build this year, we will spend more money. Your grandfather's house did not prepare materials in advance. However, our family has a lot left over from building the house last year. Your second uncle's house can borrow some materials that were prepared in spring. It's okay, dad and your second uncle will make up for it." Xi Mingwen told Xi Yuan the same.

"The remaining bricks, tiles, sand, stones, etc., can be bought directly, and the labor is not needed by the villagers. It's just like our family paid for it at that time, so as to save future chaos." Brother-in-law and brother-in-law are not very friendly However, if the villagers are allowed to help for nothing, they will not be returned in the future, and people will not be able to poke their backs. Therefore, Xi Mingwen feels that labor costs cannot be saved.

"If there is no shortage of money, the house can be built in eight months. Your grandma's family built an ordinary tile-roofed house according to what you said, which is much less troublesome than ours."

"Father, should we build it now or Mai Qiu later?" Xiyuan asked his father to make up his mind.

"Let's build it now. I don't care whether Mai Qiu can come here anyway. Also, seeing that it's coming to Dog Days, Dad is afraid that your grandma's house will collapse again under heavy rain. Your grandpa is so old that he can't run away and fall into it." It’s going to be bad.” Xi Mingwen also thought of this, there will be heavy rain in summer, and some mud houses will fall down.

Now that a decision has been made, the Xi family acted immediately.Xi Mingwu also helped Zhang Luo. The second aunt had a good relationship with the sister-in-law, and the sister-in-law went to take care of her natal family, so she helped the old lady take care of the house.

Because of his own house building experience last year, Xi Mingwen and Xi Mingwu didn't panic too much. After more than 20 days of busy work, Xiyuan's grandpa's house built five brick houses.

After the house was built, Xiyuan told his grandpa what he thought, that is, when my uncle gets married in the future, my grandparents will have to live with my uncle, so when the five rooms are built, the doors will be opened at both ends, and two rooms will be given to my uncle when he gets married. Two rooms are for my uncle's married family, and one room is for the old man and the old lady.

The land at home, before Xiyuan mentioned it, my grandfather decided to divide it. The uncle had two acres, the uncle had two acres, he and the old lady had two acres, and it had been agreed in advance that who would provide for his room and the two acres of land? Send it to someone later.

Grandpa didn't say that he would correct the younger one in the future. He is old and doesn't know how many years he can live, so he has to consider for the old lady. In case the youngest son marries a bad one in the future, the old lady has a room on the two acres of land. , They didn't dare to go too far, not to mention the boss, who is also the old lady's own son, if it doesn't work, they can still live with the boss.

On the day of the move, no one else did anything, but my grandfather cried, leaning on crutches, watching the door of the new house in tears!

He didn't expect that in less than a month, the old look of the family had changed. The old man was a strong and domineering man when he was young, but who knew that when he was old, the hero fell into ruin, and the tiger fell into the plains. He thought that there would be no more It's time for scenery!

Seeing the old man's appearance, Xiyuan was very moved. Later, it was Grandpa Xiyuan who chatted with his in-laws for a long time to persuade him.Today, the in-laws moved, and he also came. This is a real relative, unlike other people with two surnames.

The second aunt's family never told them anything since they started building the house, and the grandfather probably knew it in his heart, and never mentioned this girl at all.

Grandmother and uncle are honest, they just stand there pursing their lips and laughing, while uncle runs with Xi Wei from house to house like a child, listening to their bang bang.

The villagers in Fuhezhuang, listening to the "cracking" firecrackers of Zhang's family, just like Zhang's family, couldn't get back to their senses for a long time!In just over 20 days, it turned out that the poor Zhang family, who had always been talked about by the villagers after dinner, and the Zhang family who was the object of jokes by the villagers, actually built a big brick house!

Many villagers can't believe this is true now, is there really such a good thing as a pie in the sky?Oh, don't say it, it is said that the girl is a loser and raised by someone else's family. Now it seems that it is not entirely true. You look at the Zhang family, you look at the Zhang family, you just borrowed all of the girl's money!
