take a wife to support the family

Chapter 65
The next day, Lily used hemp rope to string up the copper coins, and a thousand of them made a string, which was Yiguan.

She has counted carefully, and the seasoned folks in the bank only need to glance and weigh it to know whether it is enough, how much is missing, and what kind of silver should be given.

Song Haonian personally brought the money to Wang Xiaofu, and asked him to exchange it for silver. Wang Xiaofu often helped his brothers do some money exchange, and agreed immediately.

In front of Song Haonian, he wanted to count again. Song Haonian hurriedly pressed his hand: "My brother, I can trust you. But you have to be careful on the road. If you are afraid of being robbed, you should have a few more acquaintances." Let's go together."

He is now working on the Liufu farm and cannot leave, and Lily is a woman, otherwise he or Lily should go with Wang Xiaofu, not because he cannot be trusted, but to accompany him on the way to take care of him.

In the end, he gave Wang Xiaofu a few words, and then he returned home to answer Baihe's business.

After a few days, Wang Xiaofu really came to look for Lily with a purse of silver.Lily opened the purse and took a look. Inside was a gleaming silver ingot, which was originally five taels of one, but after one corner was broken off, there were still four and a half taels of ingot.

This is genuine snow-patterned silver, the fineness of which is incomparable with scattered silver, Lily was overjoyed, thanked Wang Xiaofu, and made sugar water for him to drink.

White sugar is a rare thing, the best one is called snowflake sugar, and the second-best one is light yellow crystal.During this season, country people treat guests either with tea or sugar water. Sugar water is more solemn than tea, which is the best etiquette.

When Song Haonian came back, Baihe brought hot water to burn his feet, and found some money to give to him.

Song Haonian said: "You keep it." After a pause, he said, "From now on, we will keep all the money from our family."

"Oh, then I have to put it away!" Lily said with a smile.

The money was saved by the husband and wife together, and anyone can keep it, and refusal is heresy.

After the two of them made out in the evening, Lily's hands and feet were already weak, her upper and lower eyelids were fighting, and she wanted to fall asleep in a daze.Song Haonian still whispered to her energetically: "Is there anything to do tomorrow?"

"What?"

"If there is nothing else to do tomorrow, let's go back to your mother's house and have a look."

Lily's sleepiness suddenly flew away: "What are you doing back home!"

Song Haonian rubbed her waist for her, "We have been married for so long, and we haven't been back together. I don't show filial piety during the New Years and holidays. I feel very sorry. Besides, when I was outside, I was also thanks to my father-in-law and San Niu for taking care of me." You, I can rest assured. Now that I have some money in my hand, I should give something to my father-in-law and mother-in-law. "

Lily blinked at him with watery almond eyes, which made him feel embarrassed, "Your parents...of course they are also my parents."

A son-in-law is half the length, and the first three children of the Li family are all daughters, and Qingsong is still young, so before the time to start a family, can't you use your son-in-law as your son?

Whether a married girl can take care of her mother's family depends on whether her husband's family is reasonable or not.It is rare for someone like Song Haonian to take the initiative to respect his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Lily was very happy: "I'm so happy that you can think of my parents for me!"

Not to mention how Mrs. Zhu treats her, as long as she has lived through these days, her younger brothers and sisters treat her sincerely, and her father also loves her sincerely.People's hearts are made of flesh, how can Lily's heart not be touched?
Song Haonian is willing to take care of her natal family, she is only happy in her heart and has no objection.The only thing to worry about is that Mrs. Zhu is not very reasonable. If Song Haonian doesn't come to the house for a long time, I'm afraid he will be ostracized by her.

As soon as Lily shared her worries, Song Haonian laughed: "I have married all my daughters, so what's the point of being harassed by my mother-in-law? Besides, you know what my mother is like, I'm still afraid of people talking about it?"

Mrs. Zhu is unreasonable, and Mrs. Niu's overbearing, tricky and unreasonable is probably higher than hers. It's okay to get used to my old mother, and then get used to my mother-in-law.

Lily burst out laughing, stretched out her hand to pinch Song Haonian's soft waist: "I told you to arrange for my mother-in-law and my mother!"

One wanted to pinch, the other wanted to hide, the young and strong body ignited fire again during the friction, and the thin quilt soon couldn't hide the spring in the room.

On weekdays, Baihe pays great attention to maintaining Song Haonian's dignity as the head of the family. Since he makes a decision, as long as it is reasonable, she will not object.

After eating early the next morning, the two of them went to the market to buy things to take back to their natal family, and they also brought two jars of wine from home.

Weighed over a dozen catties of indica rice, two catties of meat, and bought some odds and ends. The back sack was full, and Lily lifted it up. ?”

Song Haonian said: "Whether I can do it or not, don't you know the best?"

Lily didn't react at first, and after a while, she suddenly blushed—this rascal!
Speaking of it, she is also to blame, she shouldn't question whether a man can do it...

Song Haonian is a strong boy who can walk thirty to fifty miles of mountain roads with a hundred catties of stuff on his back, not to mention that the things in the basket add up to only thirty or forty catties.Lily shared some more burdens for him, and he was afraid that his wife would be exhausted, so she was not allowed to carry heavy things, and only hugged a few feet of blue cloth.

Originally walking on the mountain road was boring, but Song Haonian has the ability to make this section of the road interesting.He plucked the leaves of the poplar trees by the side of the road, rolled them up and twisted them in his hands, and made a whistle, which he played in his mouth to play up and down tunes.

After a while, I picked a few bunches of petunias and put them on Lily's straw hat, making her a curtain of flowers.

When he was tired from walking and wanted to rest, he could always find a flat and clean stone for Lily to sit on, and he untied the skin bag on his waist, filling it with the well water at home to cool and quench his thirst.

Seeing that he was also sweating from walking, Lily took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, and picked a large leaf from the side of the road to fan him: "We'll be there in another ten miles, is there any shortage?"

Song Haonian was enjoying himself, and said: "There is no shortage, you will be fine if you recite another one."

Lily didn't ask whether he was bragging, just pursed her lips and smiled, and went back on the road after resting enough, to get home before noon, otherwise the sun would be too big after noon, and it would be very uncomfortable to walk on the mountain road.

As soon as the young couple turned around the intersection at the head of the village, they saw Qingsong playing spinning tops with a group of half-sized children in the field dam, yelling, and all of them were covered in dust.

"Qingsong!" Lily raised her voice to call her younger brother, Qingsong raised her head and said, "Elder Sister!"

He trotted over and looked at Song Haonian with doubtful eyes - in his impression, the eldest brother-in-law was a villain with a big beard, who is this strangely good-looking man?

Lily smiled and pushed Qingsong: "Brother-in-law."

"Brother-in-law." Qingsong was puzzled, but still called her brother-in-law, took the things from Lily's hand, and led them along the way.

A few half-children shouted: "Li Qingsong, do you still want to fight?"

"My eldest sister is back, let's talk about it later!" Qingsong whispered to Lily again, "These people are too powerful, I can't beat them."

He even lost the top and the whip to others, and if he continued to fight, he would lose other toys. He was worried about how to escape, and the elder sister came back. Qingsong felt that the elder sister was really his savior.

Song Haonian said: "I'll teach you two tricks later, I'm sure you can beat them!"

Qingsong tilted her head to look at Song Haonian for a while, and finally nodded: "Then it's all up to brother-in-law, if you can't win, I won't rely on you."

Lily was angry at Qingsong's slippery head, Song Haonian smiled and said: "He is still young, when I was the same age as him, I also loved to play."

Qingsong felt that her elder brother-in-law was really a good person, so she jumped into the house and shouted: "Mother, elder sister and elder brother-in-law are back!"

Mrs. Zhu came out and saw that it was her disobedient eldest daughter and her eldest son-in-law who hadn't been seen for many days. She put her hips on her hips and sneered: "The two nobles forget things, and sometimes they think of us."

Lily pretended not to hear, and smiled and gave Qingsong two pieces of malt candy, and Lamei a piece of fragrant soap. Zhu's eyes turned red: "Those are all mine! Who promised you to share these two pieces?" Little hooves!"

Lily smiled and said, "We just brought the thing, before the butt touches the stool, and before the mouth is wet, how can it be a mother?"

Mrs. Zhu angrily ordered Lamei to bring two bowls of water, and the young husband and wife each found a bench to sit down to rest, while Mrs. Zhu hurriedly went to turn over the basket.

Lily felt ashamed and didn't want to see her mother, but Song Haonian thought it was normal - when he proposed marriage back then, Zhu also used this kind of energy to empty out his family.

Counting things in front of her daughter and son-in-law, Mrs. Zhu happily took them and put them in the cabinet cage, Lamei passed by and she cursed: "You can't get your eyes out of my cabinet if you look into it? It’s useless to look at it, it’s not for you!”

Naturally, her family fortune must be saved and left to Qingsong, how can she leave it to these losers?

Song Haonian saw that Baihe looked ugly, held her hand, and whispered: "Don't be angry, don't be angry."

He spoke in a low voice, making Lily laugh all of a sudden. Lamei and Qingsong felt ashamed when they heard Zhu's yelling, their faces turned red and then turned pale, but suddenly they saw their eldest sister and brother-in-law laughing, and they were a little bewildered.

Mrs. Zhu made a fuss, hid the things well, and when she came out, she was more enthusiastic, and asked Song Haonian: "How is the uncle? How are the in-laws and mother?"

Song Haonian was flattered and hurriedly replied that he was fine, and his parents were also fine, they even asked him to say hello to Yunyun to his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

No matter how foolish Mrs. Zhu is, he has lived for decades and has a lot of life experience.From engagement to marriage to now, she has never even seen the faces of her in-laws. How can such a person know how to say hello to her?

Anyway, there was no friendship during the two visits, and Mrs. Zhu secretly hated her in-laws for being rude, but she didn't reflect that she had never been polite to them.Don't mention this matter now, arrange for Qingsong to go to the field to invite the craftsman Li to come back to talk with the eldest uncle, and call Lamei to arrange a meal together.

Lily was looking for Lamei to talk, and she also went to help in the kitchen. Song Haonian was restless, no one greeted him, so he just looked around in the yard by himself, picking up an ax to chop wood.

Carpenter Li walked into the house with a hoe on his shoulder, and saw the eldest son-in-law taking off his coat and swinging an ax there. He had already chopped a pile of firewood. When he came back, he smiled and showed two rows of big white teeth: "My father-in-law."
