Chapter 69

The granddaughter's marriage was settled, and Tao Yongcheng and his wife quietly reconciled. Tao Yongcheng's family was full of joy, which made the family in Sanjia Alley feel that Tao Qingyao had made a good marriage.

Facing the curious inquiries of the neighbors, Wen Liuniang said modestly: "He is still studying in the government school. His family's idea is that after he gets married, he will continue to study and strive to get a job as soon as possible."

Seeing the envious and jealous eyes of the neighbors, Wen Liuniang secretly felt a little proud. A few days ago, everyone criticized the couple for being too picky about their daughter's marriage, and they were afraid that they would not be able to choose a suitable son-in-law.

Now that Tao Qingyao's marriage has been settled, the future son-in-law will also be named under the name of his aunt. As long as the son-in-law is promising in the future, no one will remember his identity as a concubine.

Facing the little sister who came to inquire about the news, Tao Qingyao smiled with a bit of pride and said: "It is the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker. I have met him once or twice from a distance. He has the temperament of a scholar."

In winter, the weather was cold, Tao Zuoran and An Erzhi said: "In a few days, our work is almost done, I'll come back and guard the shop for a few days."

An Erzhi felt relieved after hearing Tao Zuoran's words, and said to him in a low voice: "My little brother told me that my father and brothers made some bamboo wares and wanted to sell them in our shop for a while. What do you think?" ?”

"Your father makes exquisite bamboo wares. Discuss the price with them, and don't set it too low. You should also make an agreement with your mother's family. There are few customers on our street, and it may take a long time to meet one or two. A customer who needs bamboo goods."

"People from my natal family have been to our store. They know the goods in our store, and they usually meet customers."

Tao Zuoran sat down, stretched his legs, and said to An Erzhi: "If brother Zi'er is willing to study, I don't want them to do carpentry work. When we have no work in this line of work, I feel anxious. You have to get angry. When there is work to do, you have to keep working hard.”

An Erzhi went out and filled a basin of water, and put it next to Tao Zuoran's legs: "You should soak your feet."

Tao Zuoran took advantage of the opportunity to soak her feet, and she whispered to Tao Zuoran, "Niuniu and Brown Tang went to Ying's old house to take another bath. She came back and told me that this time the bath was longer. She and Brown Tang took a bath together. bath.

I was very uneasy in my heart, we owed a great favor to Mr. Ying's family, and I was worried that we would not be able to repay such a great favor in the future. "

"I already owe so much, you teach Niu Niu a little bit more, and in the future, you must sincerely honor the old man."

"For a family like ours, apart from the sincerity of our family, there is really nothing else to repay favors."

"The old man has loved medicinal herbs all his life. I don't know medicinal herbs, but I know fragrant wood. In the future, if we encounter good fragrant wood outside, we will buy more and stock up. Whenever the old man wants fragrant wood, we can supply it anytime."

The husband and wife were talking, and Tao Qingyao's marriage was mentioned again. An Erzhi curiously asked Tao Zuoran: "Is Yao'er's marriage really as good as the sister-in-law said?"

"For a family like that, things are often unsatisfactory, but they are no different from the speaker. The husband and wife understand it in their hearts, but they still made the decision to get married. Naturally, they have thought clearly."

"I was very happy to see Yao'er. When she came to the house, when she mentioned that person, her eyes were full of joy."

Tao Zuoran thought about the news he had inquired, and when he faced An Erzhi, he felt a little speechless, so he could only smile and say, "There are not many children from such a family with poor looks."

An Erzhi thought for a while, then said with a smile: "In the future, we should find someone who knows about Niuniu's marriage. She doesn't have Yao'er's heart, and she can't bear any grievances."

When Tao Zuoran wiped his feet with the handkerchief, he didn't raise his head and said, "We'll talk about this matter after Niuniu turns 15."

After An Erzhi went out with the water basin, Tao Zuoran leaned back in the chair, and when An Erzhi came back, he asked, "Niu Niu wants to sleep by herself now?"

An Erzhi sighed: "Sister Ying Hongtang is sleeping in the same room now. After Niuniu found out, she also clamored to sleep in the same room by herself. It's cold, so I dare not let her sleep by herself. Now let her play with Zi'er for a while." Yes, wait a minute, I will call their siblings back to sleep."

"Let's talk about it next spring. She is indeed old. She is willing to sleep by herself. In spring, let's arrange her to sleep in a room."

It was getting dark, and after the children came back and made a fuss for a while, the candles in the room were extinguished.

"We have so many children, I think it's enough." Tao Zuoran said to An Erzhi deeply.

An Erzhi opened her eyes and saw the darkness, and quickly closed her eyes: "We can't stop our children from coming. I don't think we can surpass my sister-in-law in this respect. This time, my sister-in-law's pregnancy is too difficult, and I was a little scared when I saw it. "

"Don't be afraid, Ying's family said that my sister-in-law is fine, but she is a little older and has been working hard all these years, so this birth will be so hard. My brother said that we will hire someone to do rough work in our family in the future, so that my sister-in-law will not worry. many."

An Erzhi has always thought that her family life is good. In the eyes of outsiders, the women in the second room of the Tao family think it is too hard, but their sisters-in-law feel that such a life is comfortable.

The Tao Zuoran brothers are very considerate to the people around them, and the father-in-law and mother-in-law will not care about the affairs between the son and daughter-in-law, but will help them take care of their grandchildren.

When the first snow fell in winter, Tao Qingbi was overjoyed. She said to An Erzhi, "Mom, I'm old now, I can play snowballs."

An Erzhi listened to Tao Qingbi's words and knew that her daughter's freshness could not be stopped, so she could only warn her: "If you don't want to drink bitter soup, you can only play in the snow for a while."

Tao Qingbi happily agreed, and she ran outside at once. When An Erzhi called her, she turned her head and said, "Mother, I went to play with Brown Tang in the old house. The snow in the little ancestor's house has not been cleaned for a while. Clean."

She ran out all at once, Ping Sanshun heard the movement and came out, saw An Erzhi standing under the eaves, and said with a smile: "It's cold, the child will be healthy after running."

An Erzhi smiled and nodded. She didn't dare to tell her mother-in-law about her daughter playing in the snow. In her parents-in-law's heart, she always hoped that her granddaughter would be a quiet girl.

An Erzhi hoped that her daughter would be more lively and generous, and that she would be more courageous and wild in her thoughts, so that after she got married in the future, she could live a more comfortable life in her husband's house.

Sometimes An Erzhi felt that Tao Zuoran also hoped that his daughter would be more courageous and thick-skinned, so he let his daughter and Ying Hongtang go in and out of Ying's old house.

Tao Qingbi ran to the old house of Ying's family as if she was flying, and Ying Hongtang stood guard at the gate of the yard, stomping her feet and saying, "You came too slowly."
