Chronicles of the Modern Empress Dowager

On the third day of the first lunar month, every household was still immersed in the New Year’s celebrations, and the two houses of Li's family headed to the Wang's house.

Wang Yulan's family lives in the west of the village, at the foot of the rugged green hills, behind their house is a river that flows all year round. The river was crystal clear, and when she was young, Yulan and Li Wei often went to the river to catch fish and loach.

The Wang family is poor, and now he is planting a few mu of thin land for food and drink with six mouths. The house is low and there are two houses with thatched roofs. There was a persimmon tree in the Wang's yard. The leaves had already fallen out, leaving only bare branches. A big yellow dog who watched the door was tied under the tree.

Seeing someone coming, the big yellow dog lying under the tree suddenly got up and rushed up to bark at them. If it hadn't been tied to a rope, it would have come up to bite people.

When Li Wei saw the dog, Li Jianping suddenly turned his head and said to Li Wei: "Wei Wei, do you remember. When you were just three or four years old, you wore open crotch pants and ran around. When you went to Yulan's house to find Magnolia was playing, and her **** was bitten by their dog?"

Li Wei's expression was a little embarrassed and said, "Can that dog live to the present?"

Li Jianping smiled and said: "This is impossible. I can't remember how many dogs their family has raised, but I still remember the dog bite. That day you held your **** and dared not go home, wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry. The look is really interesting."

The barking of the dog made the Wang family come out, and Wang Jianguo came out first.

"Brother Mingguo and Minghua are here, and my sister-in-laws are here, please hurry up and sit in the room." Wang Jianguo greeted each other with a smile, and naturally stretched his hand into his pants bag and took out a pack of cigarettes. , To pass cigarettes to the two. Ming Guo and Ming Hua both accepted them politely. Wang Jianguo took the initiative to strike a match and light a cigarette for the brothers, and then he went to greet Zhang Weihong and Liu Chunzhi again. We greeted Jianping and Jianfei again.

When everyone arrived and entered the hall, Li Wei saw that the seven aunts and eight aunts of the Wang family were all coming. People who sat half of the room had no stools at this moment. How to sit?

Wang Jianguo introduced his two relatives, and everyone just nodded, and said hello, and didn't say much about courtesy.

Wang Yulan and another girl walked in, Wang Yulan stretched out her hand to pull Li Wei, and smiled and said to Li Wei: "Wei Wei, this is my sister Hongmei."

Li Wei had no impression of this girl, Wang Yulan said a few words in a low voice, and asked Yulan to go to her room. Li Wei followed Magnolia, leaving the elders in this room whispering.

Liu Chunzhi lowered her head all the way, and she hadn't said more than five sentences since entering the room. All of the relatives of the Wang family had loud voices, which was annoyingly loud.

The room where Wang Yulan lived was very dimly lit. There was not even a window on the wall. A small hole was opened in the thatched roof, and a transparent and shiny object was covered. I don't know whether it is plastic cloth or a piece of glass.

The gray-white tent was hanging down, Yulan's cousin Hongmei sat on the bed, and Yulan asked Li Wei to sit on the bed.

Li Wei is not used to sitting in someone else's bed, even in a dormitory, she does not have this habit.

Li Wei sat down on a bamboo stool.

Hongmei hurriedly asked Li Wei: "We met before, do you remember me?"

Li Wei shook his head blankly: "I have a bad memory."

Hongmei laughed: "Before you followed Magnolia and called my sister. It's only a few years now, you forgot. I heard that your family moved to live in the city. Are you working in the city?"

"Go to school without me."

Wang Yulan hurriedly interjected: "Sister Hongmei doesn't know, Weiwei is already in her sophomore year in high school. I will be admitted to college in another year."

"Entrance to college? Female college student?" Hongmei said with some confusion: "I have only heard of female college students but I have never seen them."

Yulan said to Li Wei again: "Wei Wei, my sister Hongmei married last year."

Li Wei didn't seem to be interested in listening to this cousin Hongmei, his face was always faint.

Wang Yulan also cared about her cousin Hongmei’s married life. Regardless of the presence or absence of outsiders, Hongmei began to tell her cousin whether it was her mother-in-law, and her sister-in-law and uncle’s difficulties. At the end, I need to add another sentence: "Magnolia, you can keep your eyes bright when you marry. If you meet any kind of awkward mother-in-law or sister-in-law, you will never get out of the sea of ​​suffering in your life."

The Li family came to propose marriage today. Hongmei's unconcerned remarks were unintentional or unintentional. Where is Li Wei embarrassed.

The elders here are talking nonsense, and Zhang Weihong can talk vigorously with a female relative of the Wang family. The aunt clearly saw a tall, upright girl swaying in front of her. She got up and didn't see where the girl had gone.

"Sister, are you looking for someone?"

"It's just the tall one. It's your daughter. I think it's bright, but it looks like a neat person. How old is it? Are you dear?"

When Zhang Weihong heard this person's description, could it be that Li Wei was in his heart? She quickly laughed and said, "Why the eldest sister wants to tell our family Weiwei about the marriage?"

The woman smiled and said: "I like to be a matchmaker. Seeing that this girl is good, I might be able to say a good person. There is a suitable candidate for my distant relative, who is also tall and suitable for your girl. It's just that. I don't know what you think?"

Zhang Weihong asked hurriedly: "Oh? What is the family doing, how is the young man?"

The woman came with a sharp mouth and opened her mouth. Zhang Weihong found it interesting, but finally couldn't help but shook her mouth and smiled: "I can't do this. I am her auntie, and her mother is sitting there, you Ask her to go."

The woman heard that she hurriedly walked up to Liu Chunzhi again, and said all the things she had said to Zhang Weihong to Liu Chunzhi. Liu Chunzhi said something messed up in her heart. Anyway, her daughter is also a high school student, she might still be a college student, what? Can dogs and cats deserve it?

She casually prevaricates: "We still have to study at Weiwei, not to talk about kiss."

"Studying? How old are you still studying?"

"It's not eighteen."

The woman was a little unbelievable, and said: "Your family is really used to your daughter. You obviously want to marry someone else's in the future, and you still have so many books."

Liu Chunzhi was upset for an instant, and her face was drawn long: "How do you speak? Our daughter I am willing to spoil it, and I am willing to be used to it. How about using your family's money?"

The woman knew that she was saying the wrong thing for a while, and she said with some embarrassment: "Sister, don't be angry, that's your family's business, of course I can't control it."

"Sister? You have more white hair than mine. Who is your sister?" In the past few years, Liu Chunzhi has become more and more afraid of people raising age.

At this time, Zhang Weihong came out again as a peacemaker to discourage the two of them, and did not stop until the meal was over.
