sweet wife little confused

Chapter 21

Hearing what An Xiuer said, Mrs. Liang hurriedly said: "Since your eyes are hurt, you should put on the veil. We have all seen you. You are a good young man. Her father and I are very satisfied. "As she spoke, she looked at Father An and said, "Isn't it, old man?"

"Yes, my uncle seems to be a steady and reliable person." Father An also nodded, with a satisfied expression on his face.

An Xiu'er was about to take out her veil and put it on for Zhang Zhenan, but Zhang Zhenan stretched out her hand to stop her and said, "It's okay, the light in the room is not strong, it won't irritate my eyes."

"That's fine. If your eyes hurt later, you must tell me." An Xiu'er pursed her lips into a smile, and put back the veil.

Mrs. Liang hurriedly shouted: "Big girl, your uncle's eyes are not feeling well, please close the door."

Da Ya got up and closed the door, and the room was dark, but although the room was dark, listening to the laughter in his ears, Zhang Zhenan felt a little bit of warmth slowly gushing out of his heart and settling down.

"Father and mother, the meal is ready." Mrs. Dong came over and said.

"Then let's go eat first." Father An stood up as he said, and led Zhang Zhenan to the Eight Immortals Table in the center of the room.

Zhang Zhen'an is a distinguished guest, and Father An accompanied him to sit at the top, An Xiu'er is considered a delicate guest now, she just sat at the bottom of Zhang Zhen'an, and the Liang family is opposite, An's family is small, there is no reason not to let his daughter-in-law sit at the table, Sitting next to Liang was Dong, An Xiu'er beckoned for the eldest girl to come and sit down, and An Tiemu took the second girl to sit at the bottom.

For today's table dishes, An's family spent a lot of money, killed a chicken, fried a pot full, stewed a squab soup, fried bacon with shredded bamboo shoots, egg custard, and a vegetable. Come up, also white rice.

When An Xiu'er saw it, she was really flattered, and said: "It's really costing my parents, we are not some distinguished customers, why do we cook such good dishes? It's a waste of money."

After hearing this, Mrs. Liang said: "What nonsense are you talking about, my uncle came to the door for the first time, and we have already neglected you."

After saying a few words to An Xiu'er, she looked at Zhang Zhen'an again, and said: "My family is poor, I hope my uncle will not dislike you."

"Let the father-in-law and mother-in-law spend money." Zhang Zhenan also said.

Mrs. Liang smiled and said: "There is no need to spend anything. This chicken is raised by the family, and this pigeon was also hunted down from the mountain by her second brother yesterday. The bacon is the meat of the smoked pig that was slaughtered by the family last year. I grew them myself, and I didn’t spend a penny on these vegetables.”

An Xiu'er blinked her eyes when she heard this, and said flatteringly: "It's still my mother who can manage the house, so I can't do it anymore. I spend money indiscriminately all the time. I have to learn from my mother in the future."

"Don't you have to learn a little bit?" Liang Shi said quickly: "When you become a family, you have to live a good life at home, save more money on weekdays, and don't be so extravagant like today. Next time you come home , you don’t need to bring anything, as long as you have parents in your heart, your parents will be satisfied.”

Speaking of which, Mrs. Liang took a piece of chicken for Zhang Zhen'an and An Xiu'er each, and said ambiguously: "You are doing well now, there is less money to spend, and when you have two children, there will be more money to spend."

After hearing this, An Xiu'er blushed, lowered her head, and stopped talking.

Mrs. Liang shook her head when she saw this, and didn't say any more, but Father An brought over the wine that Zhang Zhen'an bought on the table, and said, "Thanks to you for buying a bottle of wine today, we, son-in-law, have a good drink. "

As he spoke, he used his hands as bony as a tree trunk to find the sealing thread, carefully opened the bottle, and poured a glass of wine for himself and Zhang Zhenan.

"Madam, would you like some?" Father An looked at Mrs. Liang.

"Today is a happy day, so let me have some." Mrs. Liang was indeed very happy today.

Father An poured some for Liang Shi, and then asked, "How about you, Xiu'er?"

"Then I'll drink a little too." Seeing that everyone was in high spirits, An Xiu'er raised her cup, but Zhang Zhen'an stopped her and said, "If you can't drink, don't drink."

"It's okay, I'll just take a little bit and lick it." An Xiu'er said with a smile.

"Drink less." Father An said and poured half a glass for his daughter. An Xiu'er looked at the amber liquid in the glass and murmured in her heart, what's wrong with my father today?I forgot that she can't drink, so I poured so much for her.

Father An didn't say he was very happy today, but was very disappointed. The daughter he had raised for more than ten years said it was not his own, so he was not his own. Including Da Ya and Er Ya, they were all poured wine by him.

It was rare for the old man to be happy, so everyone said nothing and followed his temperament.

An Xiu'er had the experience of last time, but this time she didn't dare to drink too much, so she pursed her lips and took a small sip, and quickly ate another mouthful of vegetables to suppress the bitter taste in her mouth.

On the other hand, Old Man An and Zhang Zhen'an drank one cup after another. After Old Man An drank, he talked too much, and kept pulling Zhang Zhen'an to talk endlessly.

An Xiu'er was a little afraid that Zhang Zhen'an would be angry, and tried to interrupt Father An's words several times, but failed in the end, so she could only listen from the sidelines and carefully looked at Zhang Zhen'an's face, seeing that there was indeed no anger on his face, so she Take it easy.

After eating a meal for less than half an hour, it was regarded as a good time for the host and guests. After the meal, Mrs. Liang took An Xiuer to the room to talk about herself. An Xiuer answered all of them. As for Zhang Zhenan, she only picked Well, it made Mrs. Liang feel relieved.

After chatting for a while, Mrs. Liang took out a small box from the cupboard and opened it in front of An Xiuer, but took out a string of money and handed it to An Xiuer, saying: "Xiuer, at home You also know the situation, you take this little money, and buy what you want to eat."

"Mother, I don't want it, you can keep it yourself." An Xiu'er quickly refused, and said: "We are two young, we can still make money, can we accept your money?"

"Don't, my mother hastily married you off this time, I feel a little wronged, but this Zhen'an is a calm person, besides being a little bored, it's not bad. Sigh, my mother knows you child, I have always picked up nice things to say, whether he really treats you well or not, mother doesn't even know."

Mrs. Liang felt a little uncomfortable when she said that. A good daughter, a daughter who has been hurt for more than ten years, has become someone else's family. She took out her handkerchief and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, saying: "But there is one thing, you You must know that you will always be your mother's heart, and if you are wronged in the future, you must tell your mother, even if you don't want to throw this life away, she will definitely seek justice for you."

"Mother, what you said is really serious. My husband is really good to me, and I can be the master of the house at home." An Xiu'er comforted Liang Shi and said: "He just can't talk, in fact, he can't talk. Given his temperament, he is still very easy to get along with."

"As long as you live well." Liang Shi nodded, then handed over the money to An Xiu'er, saying: "This is Mother's wish, you must accept it."

"No need, mother, if you really want to give me money, why don't you give me a few of our little chickens?" An Xiu'er said with a smile.

"You want to raise chickens?" Liang asked.

"En." An Xiu'er nodded, and said: "To be honest, my family now relies on my husband to fish alone to make some money, and the family doesn't even have a piece of land. Now it's the beginning of spring when the river is lush and the fish are plump. Life can still go on, but I always have some hidden worries in my heart, so I thought about cultivating a vegetable field and raising a few chickens, so that it can be regarded as a home."

"You're right. It's really not enough to rely on fishing alone. How about it? It just so happens that there is another hen nestling in the house. Last time, I caught all the little chickens for you." Liang said and said stand up.

An Xiu'er also stood up, and after Liang Shi locked the small box away, An Xiu'er followed her to the backyard, caught eight little chickens and put them in cages.

"I'll catch you after I said it, and bring the cage." Mrs. Liang was still holding a few chickens that were screaming in fright, but An Xiu'er carried the cage far away, and refused to take it no matter what. .

"That's enough, I'll try to raise eight first, and then I'll ask for it after I raise them well. I understand your intentions, mother, but if I raise them to death, it will be my fault." An Xiuer refused.

"Okay then, if you need anything at that time, you can bring it home. Usually, you need to do heavy work. If your son-in-law is not at home, you can just go home and ask your father and your second brother to help." Liang said again said naggingly.

"Okay, I see." An Xiu'er nodded with a smile.

Liang felt that he had explained everything, and said: "You have to write down what mother said, don't be afraid of trouble, we are all one family, don't trouble."

"Well, I remember everything." An Xiu'er still replied with a smile.

Liang said again: "Is there a lot of housework at home, do you want me to ask Da Ya to help you?"

"No, no, no." An Xiu'er quickly waved her hand, "Mother, I'm not that delicate, besides, I'm already married, let my husband know, how can you think of me?"

"If you don't want to eat his food, I'll ask Da Ya to go back early and eat at home." Liang said casually.

"It's not a question of whether to eat or not." An Xiu'er was also a little helpless, and said: "There are only two of us in our family. On weekdays, I wash two pieces of clothes and cook two meals. It's nothing, so you don't have to worry about it. Yours My heart, I have it all in my heart."

"Oh, you child, mother really can't do anything with you..." Mrs. Liang shook her head helplessly as she spoke.

An Xiu'er smiled slightly, didn't say much, just carried the chicken coop and followed her to the main room.

In the main room, Father An was already a little drunk, but Zhang Zhen'an still kept his expression on. An Xiu'er saw that it was getting late, and remembered that she had to go home to reclaim the vegetable field today, so she waited with Liang's family. The man waved goodbye and said: "Mother, it's getting late, we'll go back today, and we'll come to see you another day."
