Chapter 93 Cousin’s Marriage
Wen Hengyin felt so fucked.
My good intentions were not rewarded, and I was actually tricked by two little brats.
Just now, Ying Bao and her sister heard the sound and ran over. When they saw the little tug on Luo Luo's head, they became furious. Not only did they chase him for half the village, but they also punished him to copy the inner canon ten times.
My sister also said that she would not feed him until he finished copying.
Who did he provoke?
snort! Incomprehensible! Seeing as they are women, I won't care about them.
I am a manly man, how could I be intimidated by the Ten Nei Jing?
If you can’t finish copying today, can’t you copy it tomorrow? Anyway, the nanny will not watch him go hungry, she will always secretly leave delicious food for him, and even Helix will not be hungry.
After school was over at noon, Yingbao took her two younger brothers and Ernihuzi home.
There were many people standing in the courtyard of Uncle Jiang's house, and there were two tables sitting in the house.
Ying Bao and several children got into the room to see Brother Dacheng's fiancée.
There were several women sitting in Sister Dani's room, and there was a young lady of fourteen or fifteen years old who was particularly eye-catching.
The young lady is wearing a peach red coat and skirt, with a double-snail bun. She has pink eyes and fair skin. She is much prettier than her cousin's wife in her previous life.
It's just that her eyebrows are a bit sharp and she doesn't seem to be easy to get along with.
Next to her was a woman in her thirties who looked somewhat similar to her, but she looked older and had some inconvenience in her legs and feet.
"Hey, whose twin children are these?" a woman in her twenties asked with a smile.
Chun Niang, who was accompanying her, smiled and said, "She belongs to my family. The girl is my eldest daughter Ying Bao. Ying Bao, Xiaojie Xiaowu, please call me auntie."
Ying Bao stepped forward to salute and sweetly called out: "Hello, auntie, hello auntie."
Xiaojie and Xiaowu also saluted and called for others.
After a circle of calls came over, it was the little lady's turn, and Yingbao also called out: "Hello, sister."
The girl suddenly covered her mouth and said with a smile: "You must be the delivery boy picked up by the third aunt's house. I thought he had three heads and six arms, but it turns out he is just a child. The rumors outside are really unbelievable."
All the women were a little embarrassed when they heard this, and Chun Niang's face instantly fell.
Ying Bao looked at the girl with a smile, "Yeah, what's the problem? Although I picked it up, I'm not a gift boy, and I don't have three heads and six arms."
Xiaojie and Xiaowu suddenly stood in front of his sister, clenched his fists and shouted to the girl: "You are the one who picked it up! Your whole family was picked up!"
Upon seeing this, Ying Bao quickly pulled her two younger brothers out of the house.
The girl in red looked embarrassed, her cheeks were as red as Guan Gong, she grabbed the sleeve of the woman next to her and said in a tearful voice: "Mom, I, I want to go home."
The woman patted her daughter's hand to comfort her, turned to Chun Niang and said, "His third aunt, my daughter speaks frankly, don't mind."
Chun Niang smiled lightly and said: "Whatever you say, it's just a child. My son is only three years old and he talks a lot without thinking. Sister-in-law Chu, please don't take it to heart."
"Yes, yes, it's all childish talk." The woman next to her smiled to smooth things over.
Outside the house, Ying Bao was a little annoyed and regretted that she should not have come at this time. If she ruined her cousin's engagement party, then she would be guilty.
I took my two younger brothers home and touched their heads. I was reluctant to teach them.
After a while, Chun Niang came back, hugged her daughter and said, "Bao'er, don't be like everyone else. We are a family, and everything others say is just fart."
Yingbao chuckled and nuzzled her mother.
Yes, she and her father, mother and brother are a family, so why should we care about other people's words.
Ying Bao didn't have to go to school in the afternoon, so she still read and supervised her two younger brothers' calligraphy practice.
Xiaojie's calligraphy has begun to show results. He copied the copybooks every day and turned into copying. Each stroke is quite graceful. Xiao Wu's handwriting is also good, but he is not as clever as Xiao Jie.
Ying Bao believes that hard work can make up for weakness, and Xiao Wu will be able to write well one day.
However, it’s not okay to teach them blindly all the time. You must find a good tutor for them as soon as possible, otherwise once the writing habit is formed, it will be difficult to change in the future.
In the blink of an eye, it was the twelfth lunar month, the labor service finally ended, and the villagers went home one after another.
The three Jiang brothers also returned home. They looked fine, but they were much darker and thinner.
Chun Niang boiled a large pot of hot water for her husband to take a bath, and heated the kang, which made the room much warmer.
He took out a new set of clothes, put them on the wooden stand, and said, "Wash it and put on this, I made it new."
The family had plenty of cotton and no shortage of money, so Chun Niang made several sets of new clothes and shoes for everyone in the family when she had nothing to do.
Jiang Sanlang took off his dirty clothes, sat by the bathtub, lowered his head and let his wife wash his hair.
Chun Niang dug out a handful of soap mud from the jar and spread it on her husband's head. Black water flowed down her fingers.
"The eldest nephew's wedding is scheduled for April next year, which is the date chosen by the woman."
Chun Niang chatted with her husband about family matters. "In a few days, Dani will also get engaged, and the one she has engaged is Doctor Zhang's grandson."
Jiang Sanlang hummed and asked, "Why did my sister-in-law get engaged to Dacheng at that time?"
The child was getting engaged, and he and his eldest and second brothers were not at home, which was too abrupt.
Chun Niang: "It was the matchmaker from the Chu family who brought it up. We don't know. My sister-in-law and my parents also suggested to the matchmaker that it would be more serious when you come back. But the Chu family doesn't mind."
Jiang Sanlang was speechless and washed his hair with hot water in the yellow basin.
Seeing that the water was dark, Chun Niang quickly took it out and poured it out, then scooped out a basin of hot water for him to wash again.
After washing his head and face, Jiang Sanlang sat down in the large wooden tub and took a bath.
Chun Niang wiped his back and saw a half-finger-long scar on his shoulder. She couldn't help but ask: "When did you hurt your shoulder?"
Jiang Sanlang closed his eyes and said, "Forgot."
Chun Niang touched the scar and frowned: "It's such a long scar, it should bleed a lot."
Jiang Sanlang remained silent.
His wound was caused by Chen Guanglu's dagger, but that guy didn't do well either, and he broke one of his legs. It was a pity that he didn't find Xiao Han, otherwise he would have had her leg broken like her husband.
If he dares to harm his daughter, since the government can't punish him, he will take revenge himself.
Fortunately, he took the pills given by his daughter and applied the wound medicine prepared in advance, and the wound healed quickly after arriving at the construction site.
He did this so secretly that even his eldest brother didn't know about it.
Only the second brother knew what was going on, and he was not asked to do heavy work while working.
After taking a bath, Jiang Sanlang put on a new blue cotton robe.
It was also the first time for him to wear this kind of robe, and he was still a little unaccustomed to it.
On weekdays, farm men like them wear bundts, a top and trousers, and a belt around their waists to facilitate work.
Those from wealthy families would only wear robes on important occasions to look solemn, and they would still walk in short robes the rest of the time.
"Tomorrow Dani is getting engaged, and you, as an uncle, have to go and put on a show."
Chun Niang arranges her husband's clothes.
Not to mention, Saburo is really handsome and handsome when he is dressed like this. No one can tell that he is just a peasant man with mud-legged legs.
Seeing his wife suddenly blushing, Jiang Sanlang smiled and said, "You should also dress up well, and our whole family will go."
Since I am trying to save face for my niece, what's the point of relying on myself as an old man? At critical moments, I have to rely on the female elders in the family to step forward.
