The happy life of the reborn husband
Chapter 68 Dowry and Communication
When Zhu Banwen entered the back room, Zhu Amo was crying with a flower support in his hand. He heard what was said in the outside room just now. His son is going to marry Zhou Xiaoyu. As an ah, he has no right to speak at all. In the past... If it was before, Zhu Banwen would always ask him... Now there is no room for him to talk, the more Zhu Amo thought about it, the more sad it became, tears fell down as if he didn't want money.
When Zhu Banwen came in, he just looked straight, and immediately turned down his face, walked up to Zhu Amo, and said in a low voice, "What are you doing? You heard what the outside room said, right? This is a happy event. Hurry up and take back your tears. Why don't you ask your husband to read it and think that our family has other ideas about the marriage? The good thing has turned into a bad thing!" At the end, Zhu Banwen was really angry, when will his husband Can't see the situation clearly.
Zhu Amo was so wronged that he wanted to explain a few words, but seeing Zhu Banwen's almost dark face, he could only swallow the words in his stomach. Everything he said now was not flattering, so it was better not to say anything, and wiped away tears , asked in a hoarse voice: "What do you want me to cook? You don't know my craftsmanship?! If I really make it and serve it out, I won't make my husband laugh." If he gets angry all the time, it's better for him not to do it at all, so as to save himself the hard work.
Hearing this, Zhu Banwen's face was completely dark. He was so happy that he forgot that his husband's craftsmanship is not good at all, so it's okay for his family to eat behind closed doors.
But just now he said all this in front of Mr., now, it's not easy to talk back, right?I'm really stuck here...
Zhu Dazhuang saw his father happily enter the back room to look for his aunt, and he was still talking about asking his aunt to prepare some good dishes, thinking that his father was really happy, and he forgot many things happily.
His aunt's craftsmanship is really hard to say, even if the big guy can make delicious meat, even his aunt can cook it so dark that it makes people hard to talk... It also needs to be given to Mr. It's not impossible to cook a few good dishes!
His father probably has changed his mind at this moment, he must be milling around in the back room!
"Sir, let me tell you something!" Zhu Dazhuang walked up to Han Xu with a smile and said in a low voice.
Han Xu gave Zhu Dazhuang a condescending look, "Sir, my father is so happy... My aunt's craftsmanship, even my kind of food, can't eat it. I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to eat chopsticks... ..." Zhu Dazhuang said, feeling embarrassed, as if he was making excuses for not wanting to part with the stewed rice.
"Sir, it's really my aunt who can't do it. I'm afraid that my husband will suffer during the meal. That's why I said these words. Xiaoyu is good at craftsmanship, and someday let Xiaoyu prepare a table to entertain sir." Zhu Dazhuang was really afraid that his husband would not be able to put his chopsticks down when eating, and it would make it even more ugly.
Han Xu glanced at Zhu Dazhuang, he knew that Zhu Dazhuang was not a stingy person.In fact, he is still very picky, and he really doesn't want to eat out anymore. Now that the cook is not around, Xiaoyu's craftsmanship suits his taste, and other people's ones are fine.
Zhu Banwen is really too enthusiastic, and he is going to be an in-law in the future, so it is not easy for him to take advantage of Liufan's kindness.
"If you don't eat, what do you think? Don't hurt your face." Han Xu said, thinking that Zhu Dazhuang should be paying attention, and he is a good hand when talking about serious matters, but this kind of favor, rejecting the kindness of others, he just no more.
"Don't worry, sir, I'll leave this matter to me. I really want to thank you sir, and I will definitely repay you in the future." Zhu Dazhuang said respectfully and gave a big gift to Han Xu. He thanked the sir for these things from the bottom of his heart.
If the husband hadn't come out in person, he and Xiaoyu wanted to get married, but they were bumping into walls everywhere.If there are too many things to do, once you tear them apart, the little fish who was already hesitant may change his mind. In the end, it may really be a chicken-and-egg fight, nothing.
"These things are what I should do. You don't have to thank me. If you treat Xiaoyu badly in the future, I will take him, Xiaoyuan and the children with you. I believe you will never find anyone in your life." Han Xuben I think Zhu Dazhuang is a good person, and he is also a young man in the younger generation, but if he really entrusts his adopted son to him, no matter how he looks at it, he will not like it!Most of the fathers in the world think this way!
Han Xu thought about it carefully, and Han Jiu had done a good deed.
"Sir, don't worry, there won't be a day! I'll talk to my father first, and my father will come to ask for a marriage tomorrow. Today, sir, there are many things to be busy here. Let's eat this meal another day." Already." Zhu Dazhuang roughly said that he was the one who pushed the meal away, and Han Xu only had a score here, so that when he spoke for a while, he couldn't get it right.
"That's the case, I have to go back and talk to my little fish." Han Xu nodded and said, this excuse is very good.
After the agreement, Zhu Dazhuang went into the back room. As expected, his father was grinding in the room, and his aunt sat on the bed, his eyes were red.
"Why did you come in?" Zhu Banwen's face became even more ugly when he saw Zhu Dazhuang coming in, and he was about to go to the outhouse as he spoke.
"Father, don't worry. Mister knows I'm coming in." Zhu Dazhuang grabbed Zhu Banwen's arm and said.
Zhu Banwen pulled his son's hand away, this bastard was getting stronger and stronger.
"Is there something wrong? Tell me quickly." Zhu Banwen urged, and if you have something to say, hurry up and keep the husband alone in the outhouse, pointing out that it is impossible.
"Father! Don't be in a hurry to cook. Didn't you just say something and bring me to our house to say goodbye? The time is quite tight, let's not talk about what our family is preparing. It's Xiaoyu's side, Mister also has to talk to Xiaoyu Haosheng, right? I think this meal will be eaten in the future!" After Zhu Dazhuang said this, he whispered in Zhu Banwen's ear: "Mr.
Zhu Banwen could see that this bastard was looking for a step down for him. He was really confused and cleared his throat, "You're right, it's because I didn't think much about it. This meal is just right for me to eat later."
"Father, you are wise!" Zhu Dazhuang gave a thumbs up, and Zhu Banwen was a little embarrassed by what the bastard said, so he slapped him on the arm, "They are about to get married, and they are not in good shape yet."
Zhu Dazhuang rubbed his arms and grinned without saying a word, knowing that his father was embarrassed and a little ashamed.
Zhu Banwen knew that this bastard could come in and say that he must have confided in the gentleman in the outer room, so he went out of the back room, "It's really my fault for letting the gentleman sit alone. I am also confused, Think less. After listening to the few words this bastard said, it is also very reasonable. For the sake of tomorrow, our two families still have a lot to prepare for today. Then we will not keep Mr. for dinner today. Now, when the marriage is settled, let's have a good drink together."
"Then wait for the good wine from my in-laws. I have to go back and discuss it with Xiaoyu in Haosheng. I'm leaving now, and I'll wait for you to come over tomorrow." Han Xu ended the sentence neatly.
Zhu Banwen and his son sent Han Xu to the gate, and the three of them said a few more words before leaving.
When Han Xu went to Zhou Xiaoyu's house, he had to talk about Zhu Dazhuang's father and son coming to the house tomorrow, and he had to ask Xiaoyu what requirements he had for the wedding and betrothal gifts.
Zhu Banwen went back to the house, he had to explain his troubled husband thoroughly, so don't make any fuss about this marriage.
Zhu Dazhuang went straight to the house, intending to take the tools at hand and prepare some decent things for Xiaoyu to express his heart.
Maybe Xiaoyu is with him because of various unavoidable reasons, but he will try his best to let Xiaoyu live well without any grievances.
Han Xu went to Zhou Xiaoyu's house first. When he knocked on the door, Zhou Xiaoyu was lying on the hot kang in a daze. He knew that the husband and Zhu Dazhuang went out to do some things before the wedding. Trouble, for example, Zhu Dazhuang's father does not agree with this matter... I always feel that things happen too fast, although he has a plan in his heart, he is a little flustered.
Hearing the knock on the door, he sat up and walked out, guessing in his heart that it must be Mr. Zhu or Zhu Dazhuang.
"Which one?" Zhou Xiaoyu asked through the door.
"Xiaoyu, it's me." Han Xu replied, Zhou Xiaoyu recognized that it was Mr., and quickly opened the door.
"It's sir! Sir, is this?" Zhou Xiaoyu guessed something in his heart, but he didn't say anything. He glanced behind his husband, but Zhu Dazhuang was not there.Where did this person go?
"Don't look back, Zhu Dazhuang didn't come. He's busy right now!" Han Xu said with a smile, Zhu Dazhuang was full of thoughts, and he was going to come to ask for a marriage tomorrow, so he would make preparations.
"I don't care what he's doing, I just think he can't leave his adoptive father alone." Zhou Xiaoyu scolded Zhu Dazhuang to cover up his embarrassment.
"You! When you called my adoptive father, either something happened or I was embarrassed. Now I don't ask which one it is. I have something to tell you." Han Xu teased Zhou Xiaoyu, and he was familiar with it. He entered the house familiarly.
When Zhou Xiaoyu heard that he had something to say, his heart jumped for some reason, and he ignored the embarrassment of being teased by his husband, and followed him into the house.
As soon as I entered the room, I poured a bowl of hot water for my husband. It was very cold outside, so I drank some hot water to warm my body.
"Don't be too busy, sit down. I have something to tell you." Han Xu could see that Zhou Xiaoyu was a little uncomfortable, and he must have guessed what he was going to say. His adopted son is really smart. No matter how you look at it, it's a pity to marry Zhu Dazhuang...
"Yes, foster father. Just say what you want." Sitting aside, Zhou Xiaoyu felt that he couldn't move his hands and feet, so he suppressed his discomfort.
"Zhu Dazhuang and I paid a visit. From now on, I can participate in your affairs as an elder, and your uncle will not object. Zhu Banwen has also accepted your marriage. Tomorrow, I will bring Zhu Dazhuang to propose marriage. I will come here just to Let me tell you this so that you can be prepared. I will come over early tomorrow morning to accept the marriage proposal from the Zhu family as your elder. Do you have any requirements for dowry gifts and the like? Let me talk about it first. Let me mention it." Han Xu doesn't care if it is allowed to mention these according to the customs here, but Zhou Xiaoyu, as his adopted son, can do whatever he wants.
When Zhou Xiaoyu heard it, all aspects were dealt with. Zhou Papi and Zhu Banwen were really amazing.
Presumably, this marriage should not be any more trouble... Thinking about it this way, why is this feeling so complicated?I think he is also a big attack with a strong root, but here, let alone being suppressed, there is still a baby in the stomach, and if he is not good in the future, he will still be suppressed... aggrieved.
But he can only rest assured that he can't tell anyone about these things, and if he does, he can't be treated as a lunatic!
What are your requirements for this marriage?Just the same, can Zhu Dazhuang let him overwhelm him?Hey, now he can't guarantee that he still has the ability of a master... What a bitter tear.
"Xiaoyu, why don't you talk? Don't you have any ideas?" Seeing that Zhou Xiaoyu hadn't spoken for a long time, Han Xu paused.Are you shy?
Zhou Xiaoyu wants to say yes, but can he say that?That Zhu Dazhuang is getting more and more lecherous now, who likes to use hands and feet, ask him to be a eunuch, but he can't do it right.
What's worse, that dead pig doesn't know where he got it from. Every time he hooks him, he can't bear to think about that...
Zhou Xiaoyu suppressed those fantasies that suddenly popped up, and still had to talk about serious business.
"Father, I don't have any ideas about getting married. I can do whatever I want. With my father here, I believe that the Zhu family will not dare to treat me badly. The only thing is, Xiaoyuan, even if I get married, I will raise Xiaoyuan. Let’s talk about it first. As for Xiaoyuan’s expenses, I will earn it myself. I don’t need Zhu Dazhuang’s money to support Xiaoyuan. It’s no problem for me to support Xiaoyuan. Maybe Zhu Dazhuang doesn’t mind raising Xiaoyuan, but I don’t want to use his money. "Zhou Xiaoyu made it very clear that he has the ability to make money, so raising Xiaoyuan well is not a problem.That child already likes to think a lot and lacks a sense of security, so he must not be allowed to suffer any grievances.
After thinking about it for a while, Han Xu understood what Zhou Xiaoyu meant. He was worried that Zhou Ningyuan would be wronged.According to Zhu Dazhuang's temperament, he would not agree, but Xiaoyu was still quite determined, so he couldn't persuade him, and asked the two of them to discuss it by themselves in the future.
"Well, I understand what you said. Is there anything else?" Han Xu asked again.
Zhou Xiaoyu thought about it for a while, then shook his head, only Xiaoyuan's matter was to be brought up to the face, and Zhu Banwen and the others knew it well, so they wouldn't think that the two brothers took advantage of the old Zhu's family in the future.The rest is between him and Zhu Dazhuang, just find an opportunity to talk to Zhu Dazhuang alone.
"Okay, I will remember to talk about this tomorrow. You can only choose one of what I want to say next, and you can't refuse it. This is my intention as a foster father. I am your foster father now, so naturally I have to prepare a dowry for you , I have prepared two copies, which one do you choose? The first one is to give you 2000 taels of silver plus one hundred acres of good land. , plus ten acres of good land in the village." Han Xu said so forcefully that Zhou Xiaoyu would not refuse at all.
These are all the things he can get out now. Although he used to be a good man, when he left, he didn't bring out any of it, and he didn't take a tael of silver. Only when he went outside did he realize that "a lot of money is hard to die for a hero" 'what's going on.Back then when he came to this village, it was because he wanted to earn some money for self-defense, so he specially found a wealthy family to make a fortune teller to avert the disaster, so he got some money... By now, he has spent almost all of it...
Right now, there is a total of 3000 taels of silver left in his hand, one Zhuangzi, one shop, and if he wanted to prepare a dowry for Zhou Xiaoyu, he would naturally take out all he could, but he couldn't keep any of it for himself.
Strictly speaking, he is also on the run now. It was already very dangerous to make money by fortune-telling. He likes this place and doesn't want to change it again, so he has to keep a low profile in all aspects.
2000 taels? 1000 taels?This dowry is too thick, no matter what, you can't ask for it, and it may not be a good thing if you get this dowry.
"Father, I know you really love me, but this dowry is too rich, I absolutely can't take it. Father, don't be angry, listen to me to explain a few words." Zhou Xiaoyu looked at Han Xu, for fear that Han Xu would think that he didn't know what to do.
Han Xu thought that the richer the dowry, the more face his brother would have. Isn't this the custom here?
"Tell me, if you can't explain it, the foster father will choose it for you." Han Xu said.
"Thank you foster father for your understanding. It is indeed a good thing that the dowry is richer. But it may not be necessary here. Brother Zhu and I are both ordinary farmers. With this 1000 taels, some people may not be able to earn these for a lifetime... …I’m afraid that Brother Zhu and I will become lazy and eat nothing. If there is more money in one dollar, there will be more rights and wrongs. Brother Zhu and I are young, and we will work hard in the future. It will not be so bad. And the dowry is generally It will be seen by everyone." Zhou Xiaoyu explained a little bit, the money is too much and too conspicuous for them, and it is easy for other things to happen.
This money is like falling from the sky, even if Zhu Dazhuang can't imitate bad things, then Zhu Banwen, Zhu Ah that, don't they have other ideas?Dowry is something that cannot be hidden. If you have a clear path, the villagers will always see something.
Asking Zhou Xiaoyu to say this, Han Xu also tasted it. The dowry was too much, and it was really easy to cause trouble. He just thought that he couldn't treat Xiaoyu badly, and forgot to see where it was.
"You are my adopted son, and I always want to give you the best. It's just these, I feel that I have treated you badly. But what you said is also reasonable. It's true that I didn't think carefully. Then look, I prepared these In the dowry, which ones are suitable?" Han Xu directly asked Zhou Xiaoyu to choose by himself, this child has always been smart and would not talk to him.
Zhou Xiaoyu thought for a while, this dowry must be chosen, and in the future this adoptive father must be treated like a real father.
"Then foster father can just give me the shop and ten acres of land in the village. These are enough." Zhou Xiaoyu chose these two. The shop should be in the town, and it will be much more convenient for him to open a shop to do business.
A shop with ten acres of good land is definitely the best dowry in the village.
"50 taels of silver are being added to the dowry, and I will give you another 550 taels of private money. That's it, don't talk about anything else." Han Xu finally added some silver, for fear that Zhou Xiaoyu would come to Zhu If the family has no money, it will suffer.
600 taels, which is not a lot!
"Thank you foster father!" Zhou Xiaoyu had no choice but to accept all of them, and declined, but he was really going to make her husband angry.
"There are still some things in the school. I'm going back now. You can think about it. Is there anything I missed. I'll come over tomorrow morning and tell me. You just need to remember, and you can ask for anything, because you are My adopted son." Han Xu is also marrying his elder brother for the first time, and he is afraid that he will miss something, so he plans to go back and read the book.
Zhou Xiaoyu felt warm in his heart. He did not recognize his adoptive father in vain. Although the recognition process was a bit tricky, in the end there was an extra person who sincerely planned for him.
"Then I'll see off my adoptive father!" Zhou Xiaoyu said and went out with Han Xu, and when they reached the door, "You go back! You have to think carefully about marriage matters. I think you have lived a peaceful and beautiful life all your life." Yes." After Han Xu gave another warning, he returned to the school in peace.
Zhou Xiaoyu closed the door, and when he walked into the house, the more he thought about it, the more he felt funny, all of this happened so fast, life is like a drama, you never know what the next scene will be like At the beginning, what is the performance.
When Han Xu returned to the school, he saw that the students were reciting books honestly, so he ordered a few students, took a test, gave another page of new text, and left school early.
He knew that tonight, Zhou Xiaoyu was going to have a long talk with Zhou Ningyuan, and it would be good to give their brothers some more time, but it was hard for him, and he had to go to bed on an empty stomach tonight.
After school early, Zhou Ningyuan was very happy, chatting and laughing with his friends, and arrived home not long after.
When Zhou Xiaoyu saw Xiao Baozi came back, he felt that it was much earlier than usual. He hadn't cooked the meal yet, so he only cooked the rice. Usually, Xiao Baozi didn't arrive home until the dishes were cooked.
Is this early school?
"Mr. has already finished class for us today. Mr. seems to have something to do. He has been busy for a long time and has been telling us to read books by ourselves. Didn't this sir eat at our house? And when did he leave?" ? Brother, what are you having for dinner?" Zhou Ningyuan followed behind Zhou Xiaoyu like a little nagging, asking a series of questions.
In fact, Zhou Ningyuan noticed that something seemed to have happened these few days, but he didn't know it.
"You! There are so many questions, which one should I answer first!" Zhou Xiaoyu tapped Zhou Ningyuan's forehead. The child must have sensed that something was wrong, and he wanted to ask in a different way.
Zhou Ningyuan said with a smile: "Brother, you can say whatever you want. I like to listen to it." Anyway, looking at the appearance of the elder brother, it doesn't seem like a bad thing happened. After talking, he also wanted to understand.
If Big Brother Zhu was here, Big Brother wouldn’t have to work so hard. Now that he’s still young, it’s not practical to take care of Big Brother well. Let Big Brother Zhu come over these few years. When he grows up, he will definitely take good care of him. Brother, don't let him suffer any grievances.
"Little ghost is clever! Let's have a good chat after we have eaten first." Zhou Xiaoyu made up his mind to talk about all these things today, or as the marriage progresses, Xiao Baozi will know sooner or later, at that time I'm afraid that this child has nothing on his face, but his heart is hurt badly.
"Enen, we need to have a good chat." Zhou Ningyuan repeated the words imitating Zhou Xiaoyu's tone, his small face was still very serious, which made people want to laugh when they saw it.
"You! The more you talk, the more energetic you are. Hurry up and start the fire!" Zhou Xiaoyu said with a smile, this little bun playing with Baolai is really overwhelming.
Thinking about chatting after the meal, Zhou Xiaoyu fried a large plate of pork and mixed a piece of shredded potato with cold. After it was done, he found a large bowl and filled half of each meal, and then took a plate to pack it tightly. After buttoning it, I went into the house and found a clean floral cloth and a basket, wrapped the big bowl tightly, and put it in the basket.
"Guess what I want to do?" Zhou Xiaoyu tentatively picked it up a few times, checking that it wouldn't spill out, and then asked Zhou Ningyuan. He had to test Xiao Baozi's observation ability.
"Brother, but do you want to send it to your husband?" Zhou Ningyuan asked. Since his eldest brother left food, he has been thinking about who it is going to be sent to.Recently, I often come to my house for dinner, and the only ones who are close to my elder brother are elder brother Zhu, Amo Zhou next door, and my husband.
Brother Zhu eats a lot, and these are obviously not enough.Zhou Ah Na looked like he wasn't at home.Then only Mr. is left, Mr. said that his cook has gone back to his hometown...
"It's so smart. Take it to the husband first, and we'll have dinner when we come back." Zhou Xiaoyu rubbed the little bun's head. This kid is really smart. He deserves to be his younger brother, just like him.
"Yeah!" After Zhou Ningyuan answered, he left the house with a basket on his shoulders, fearing that the food would be cold, and trotted steadily all the way to the school. After finding his husband, he put down the basket, said a few more words, and trotted home again up.
After receiving the delivered food, he opened it and saw that it was still steaming. Han Xu really felt that he had a adopted son, but it was different. Someone would miss this meal.
After Zhou Ningyuan arrived home, Zhou Xiaoyu's food was served on the table. After the two brothers washed their hands, they began to eat. During the meal, they chatted for a while, and no one mentioned what they wanted to talk about today.
Until bedtime, the two brothers lay on the warm kang with oil lamps on.
"Brother, what's the matter with you, tell me! No matter what you want to do, I will support you." Zhou Ningyuan turned sideways and looked at Zhou Xiaoyu, his eyes were darkened by the dim light.
Zhou Xiaoyu also turned sideways, facing Xiao Baozi, "I know you've always been smart, you must have noticed something. I just want to say, no matter what happens in the future, you are my younger brother, and I keep it on top of my heart." younger brother."
"Brother, I know these things. You are also my dearest and dearest elder brother." Zhou Ningyuan replied, knowing that elder brother still cares about him, he was careful when he said these words, lest he miss something.
"Brother Zhu and I will get married in ten days. After we get married, you will still live with me, but there is one more person in the family who can eat..." Zhou Xiaoyu felt awkward after speaking, he was older than Xiao Baozi There are many, and it is not uncommon for the elder brother to be in charge of his own marriage when his father is not around.Why is it a bit awkward just facing the little bun?It's as if Xiao Baozi should be consulted first on this matter. If it develops normally, he will definitely be solicited, but this matter develops so fast that he didn't even think of it.
Talking about the marriage is so difficult, how will you deal with the matter of recognizing your godfather?
When Zhu Banwen came in, he just looked straight, and immediately turned down his face, walked up to Zhu Amo, and said in a low voice, "What are you doing? You heard what the outside room said, right? This is a happy event. Hurry up and take back your tears. Why don't you ask your husband to read it and think that our family has other ideas about the marriage? The good thing has turned into a bad thing!" At the end, Zhu Banwen was really angry, when will his husband Can't see the situation clearly.
Zhu Amo was so wronged that he wanted to explain a few words, but seeing Zhu Banwen's almost dark face, he could only swallow the words in his stomach. Everything he said now was not flattering, so it was better not to say anything, and wiped away tears , asked in a hoarse voice: "What do you want me to cook? You don't know my craftsmanship?! If I really make it and serve it out, I won't make my husband laugh." If he gets angry all the time, it's better for him not to do it at all, so as to save himself the hard work.
Hearing this, Zhu Banwen's face was completely dark. He was so happy that he forgot that his husband's craftsmanship is not good at all, so it's okay for his family to eat behind closed doors.
But just now he said all this in front of Mr., now, it's not easy to talk back, right?I'm really stuck here...
Zhu Dazhuang saw his father happily enter the back room to look for his aunt, and he was still talking about asking his aunt to prepare some good dishes, thinking that his father was really happy, and he forgot many things happily.
His aunt's craftsmanship is really hard to say, even if the big guy can make delicious meat, even his aunt can cook it so dark that it makes people hard to talk... It also needs to be given to Mr. It's not impossible to cook a few good dishes!
His father probably has changed his mind at this moment, he must be milling around in the back room!
"Sir, let me tell you something!" Zhu Dazhuang walked up to Han Xu with a smile and said in a low voice.
Han Xu gave Zhu Dazhuang a condescending look, "Sir, my father is so happy... My aunt's craftsmanship, even my kind of food, can't eat it. I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to eat chopsticks... ..." Zhu Dazhuang said, feeling embarrassed, as if he was making excuses for not wanting to part with the stewed rice.
"Sir, it's really my aunt who can't do it. I'm afraid that my husband will suffer during the meal. That's why I said these words. Xiaoyu is good at craftsmanship, and someday let Xiaoyu prepare a table to entertain sir." Zhu Dazhuang was really afraid that his husband would not be able to put his chopsticks down when eating, and it would make it even more ugly.
Han Xu glanced at Zhu Dazhuang, he knew that Zhu Dazhuang was not a stingy person.In fact, he is still very picky, and he really doesn't want to eat out anymore. Now that the cook is not around, Xiaoyu's craftsmanship suits his taste, and other people's ones are fine.
Zhu Banwen is really too enthusiastic, and he is going to be an in-law in the future, so it is not easy for him to take advantage of Liufan's kindness.
"If you don't eat, what do you think? Don't hurt your face." Han Xu said, thinking that Zhu Dazhuang should be paying attention, and he is a good hand when talking about serious matters, but this kind of favor, rejecting the kindness of others, he just no more.
"Don't worry, sir, I'll leave this matter to me. I really want to thank you sir, and I will definitely repay you in the future." Zhu Dazhuang said respectfully and gave a big gift to Han Xu. He thanked the sir for these things from the bottom of his heart.
If the husband hadn't come out in person, he and Xiaoyu wanted to get married, but they were bumping into walls everywhere.If there are too many things to do, once you tear them apart, the little fish who was already hesitant may change his mind. In the end, it may really be a chicken-and-egg fight, nothing.
"These things are what I should do. You don't have to thank me. If you treat Xiaoyu badly in the future, I will take him, Xiaoyuan and the children with you. I believe you will never find anyone in your life." Han Xuben I think Zhu Dazhuang is a good person, and he is also a young man in the younger generation, but if he really entrusts his adopted son to him, no matter how he looks at it, he will not like it!Most of the fathers in the world think this way!
Han Xu thought about it carefully, and Han Jiu had done a good deed.
"Sir, don't worry, there won't be a day! I'll talk to my father first, and my father will come to ask for a marriage tomorrow. Today, sir, there are many things to be busy here. Let's eat this meal another day." Already." Zhu Dazhuang roughly said that he was the one who pushed the meal away, and Han Xu only had a score here, so that when he spoke for a while, he couldn't get it right.
"That's the case, I have to go back and talk to my little fish." Han Xu nodded and said, this excuse is very good.
After the agreement, Zhu Dazhuang went into the back room. As expected, his father was grinding in the room, and his aunt sat on the bed, his eyes were red.
"Why did you come in?" Zhu Banwen's face became even more ugly when he saw Zhu Dazhuang coming in, and he was about to go to the outhouse as he spoke.
"Father, don't worry. Mister knows I'm coming in." Zhu Dazhuang grabbed Zhu Banwen's arm and said.
Zhu Banwen pulled his son's hand away, this bastard was getting stronger and stronger.
"Is there something wrong? Tell me quickly." Zhu Banwen urged, and if you have something to say, hurry up and keep the husband alone in the outhouse, pointing out that it is impossible.
"Father! Don't be in a hurry to cook. Didn't you just say something and bring me to our house to say goodbye? The time is quite tight, let's not talk about what our family is preparing. It's Xiaoyu's side, Mister also has to talk to Xiaoyu Haosheng, right? I think this meal will be eaten in the future!" After Zhu Dazhuang said this, he whispered in Zhu Banwen's ear: "Mr.
Zhu Banwen could see that this bastard was looking for a step down for him. He was really confused and cleared his throat, "You're right, it's because I didn't think much about it. This meal is just right for me to eat later."
"Father, you are wise!" Zhu Dazhuang gave a thumbs up, and Zhu Banwen was a little embarrassed by what the bastard said, so he slapped him on the arm, "They are about to get married, and they are not in good shape yet."
Zhu Dazhuang rubbed his arms and grinned without saying a word, knowing that his father was embarrassed and a little ashamed.
Zhu Banwen knew that this bastard could come in and say that he must have confided in the gentleman in the outer room, so he went out of the back room, "It's really my fault for letting the gentleman sit alone. I am also confused, Think less. After listening to the few words this bastard said, it is also very reasonable. For the sake of tomorrow, our two families still have a lot to prepare for today. Then we will not keep Mr. for dinner today. Now, when the marriage is settled, let's have a good drink together."
"Then wait for the good wine from my in-laws. I have to go back and discuss it with Xiaoyu in Haosheng. I'm leaving now, and I'll wait for you to come over tomorrow." Han Xu ended the sentence neatly.
Zhu Banwen and his son sent Han Xu to the gate, and the three of them said a few more words before leaving.
When Han Xu went to Zhou Xiaoyu's house, he had to talk about Zhu Dazhuang's father and son coming to the house tomorrow, and he had to ask Xiaoyu what requirements he had for the wedding and betrothal gifts.
Zhu Banwen went back to the house, he had to explain his troubled husband thoroughly, so don't make any fuss about this marriage.
Zhu Dazhuang went straight to the house, intending to take the tools at hand and prepare some decent things for Xiaoyu to express his heart.
Maybe Xiaoyu is with him because of various unavoidable reasons, but he will try his best to let Xiaoyu live well without any grievances.
Han Xu went to Zhou Xiaoyu's house first. When he knocked on the door, Zhou Xiaoyu was lying on the hot kang in a daze. He knew that the husband and Zhu Dazhuang went out to do some things before the wedding. Trouble, for example, Zhu Dazhuang's father does not agree with this matter... I always feel that things happen too fast, although he has a plan in his heart, he is a little flustered.
Hearing the knock on the door, he sat up and walked out, guessing in his heart that it must be Mr. Zhu or Zhu Dazhuang.
"Which one?" Zhou Xiaoyu asked through the door.
"Xiaoyu, it's me." Han Xu replied, Zhou Xiaoyu recognized that it was Mr., and quickly opened the door.
"It's sir! Sir, is this?" Zhou Xiaoyu guessed something in his heart, but he didn't say anything. He glanced behind his husband, but Zhu Dazhuang was not there.Where did this person go?
"Don't look back, Zhu Dazhuang didn't come. He's busy right now!" Han Xu said with a smile, Zhu Dazhuang was full of thoughts, and he was going to come to ask for a marriage tomorrow, so he would make preparations.
"I don't care what he's doing, I just think he can't leave his adoptive father alone." Zhou Xiaoyu scolded Zhu Dazhuang to cover up his embarrassment.
"You! When you called my adoptive father, either something happened or I was embarrassed. Now I don't ask which one it is. I have something to tell you." Han Xu teased Zhou Xiaoyu, and he was familiar with it. He entered the house familiarly.
When Zhou Xiaoyu heard that he had something to say, his heart jumped for some reason, and he ignored the embarrassment of being teased by his husband, and followed him into the house.
As soon as I entered the room, I poured a bowl of hot water for my husband. It was very cold outside, so I drank some hot water to warm my body.
"Don't be too busy, sit down. I have something to tell you." Han Xu could see that Zhou Xiaoyu was a little uncomfortable, and he must have guessed what he was going to say. His adopted son is really smart. No matter how you look at it, it's a pity to marry Zhu Dazhuang...
"Yes, foster father. Just say what you want." Sitting aside, Zhou Xiaoyu felt that he couldn't move his hands and feet, so he suppressed his discomfort.
"Zhu Dazhuang and I paid a visit. From now on, I can participate in your affairs as an elder, and your uncle will not object. Zhu Banwen has also accepted your marriage. Tomorrow, I will bring Zhu Dazhuang to propose marriage. I will come here just to Let me tell you this so that you can be prepared. I will come over early tomorrow morning to accept the marriage proposal from the Zhu family as your elder. Do you have any requirements for dowry gifts and the like? Let me talk about it first. Let me mention it." Han Xu doesn't care if it is allowed to mention these according to the customs here, but Zhou Xiaoyu, as his adopted son, can do whatever he wants.
When Zhou Xiaoyu heard it, all aspects were dealt with. Zhou Papi and Zhu Banwen were really amazing.
Presumably, this marriage should not be any more trouble... Thinking about it this way, why is this feeling so complicated?I think he is also a big attack with a strong root, but here, let alone being suppressed, there is still a baby in the stomach, and if he is not good in the future, he will still be suppressed... aggrieved.
But he can only rest assured that he can't tell anyone about these things, and if he does, he can't be treated as a lunatic!
What are your requirements for this marriage?Just the same, can Zhu Dazhuang let him overwhelm him?Hey, now he can't guarantee that he still has the ability of a master... What a bitter tear.
"Xiaoyu, why don't you talk? Don't you have any ideas?" Seeing that Zhou Xiaoyu hadn't spoken for a long time, Han Xu paused.Are you shy?
Zhou Xiaoyu wants to say yes, but can he say that?That Zhu Dazhuang is getting more and more lecherous now, who likes to use hands and feet, ask him to be a eunuch, but he can't do it right.
What's worse, that dead pig doesn't know where he got it from. Every time he hooks him, he can't bear to think about that...
Zhou Xiaoyu suppressed those fantasies that suddenly popped up, and still had to talk about serious business.
"Father, I don't have any ideas about getting married. I can do whatever I want. With my father here, I believe that the Zhu family will not dare to treat me badly. The only thing is, Xiaoyuan, even if I get married, I will raise Xiaoyuan. Let’s talk about it first. As for Xiaoyuan’s expenses, I will earn it myself. I don’t need Zhu Dazhuang’s money to support Xiaoyuan. It’s no problem for me to support Xiaoyuan. Maybe Zhu Dazhuang doesn’t mind raising Xiaoyuan, but I don’t want to use his money. "Zhou Xiaoyu made it very clear that he has the ability to make money, so raising Xiaoyuan well is not a problem.That child already likes to think a lot and lacks a sense of security, so he must not be allowed to suffer any grievances.
After thinking about it for a while, Han Xu understood what Zhou Xiaoyu meant. He was worried that Zhou Ningyuan would be wronged.According to Zhu Dazhuang's temperament, he would not agree, but Xiaoyu was still quite determined, so he couldn't persuade him, and asked the two of them to discuss it by themselves in the future.
"Well, I understand what you said. Is there anything else?" Han Xu asked again.
Zhou Xiaoyu thought about it for a while, then shook his head, only Xiaoyuan's matter was to be brought up to the face, and Zhu Banwen and the others knew it well, so they wouldn't think that the two brothers took advantage of the old Zhu's family in the future.The rest is between him and Zhu Dazhuang, just find an opportunity to talk to Zhu Dazhuang alone.
"Okay, I will remember to talk about this tomorrow. You can only choose one of what I want to say next, and you can't refuse it. This is my intention as a foster father. I am your foster father now, so naturally I have to prepare a dowry for you , I have prepared two copies, which one do you choose? The first one is to give you 2000 taels of silver plus one hundred acres of good land. , plus ten acres of good land in the village." Han Xu said so forcefully that Zhou Xiaoyu would not refuse at all.
These are all the things he can get out now. Although he used to be a good man, when he left, he didn't bring out any of it, and he didn't take a tael of silver. Only when he went outside did he realize that "a lot of money is hard to die for a hero" 'what's going on.Back then when he came to this village, it was because he wanted to earn some money for self-defense, so he specially found a wealthy family to make a fortune teller to avert the disaster, so he got some money... By now, he has spent almost all of it...
Right now, there is a total of 3000 taels of silver left in his hand, one Zhuangzi, one shop, and if he wanted to prepare a dowry for Zhou Xiaoyu, he would naturally take out all he could, but he couldn't keep any of it for himself.
Strictly speaking, he is also on the run now. It was already very dangerous to make money by fortune-telling. He likes this place and doesn't want to change it again, so he has to keep a low profile in all aspects.
2000 taels? 1000 taels?This dowry is too thick, no matter what, you can't ask for it, and it may not be a good thing if you get this dowry.
"Father, I know you really love me, but this dowry is too rich, I absolutely can't take it. Father, don't be angry, listen to me to explain a few words." Zhou Xiaoyu looked at Han Xu, for fear that Han Xu would think that he didn't know what to do.
Han Xu thought that the richer the dowry, the more face his brother would have. Isn't this the custom here?
"Tell me, if you can't explain it, the foster father will choose it for you." Han Xu said.
"Thank you foster father for your understanding. It is indeed a good thing that the dowry is richer. But it may not be necessary here. Brother Zhu and I are both ordinary farmers. With this 1000 taels, some people may not be able to earn these for a lifetime... …I’m afraid that Brother Zhu and I will become lazy and eat nothing. If there is more money in one dollar, there will be more rights and wrongs. Brother Zhu and I are young, and we will work hard in the future. It will not be so bad. And the dowry is generally It will be seen by everyone." Zhou Xiaoyu explained a little bit, the money is too much and too conspicuous for them, and it is easy for other things to happen.
This money is like falling from the sky, even if Zhu Dazhuang can't imitate bad things, then Zhu Banwen, Zhu Ah that, don't they have other ideas?Dowry is something that cannot be hidden. If you have a clear path, the villagers will always see something.
Asking Zhou Xiaoyu to say this, Han Xu also tasted it. The dowry was too much, and it was really easy to cause trouble. He just thought that he couldn't treat Xiaoyu badly, and forgot to see where it was.
"You are my adopted son, and I always want to give you the best. It's just these, I feel that I have treated you badly. But what you said is also reasonable. It's true that I didn't think carefully. Then look, I prepared these In the dowry, which ones are suitable?" Han Xu directly asked Zhou Xiaoyu to choose by himself, this child has always been smart and would not talk to him.
Zhou Xiaoyu thought for a while, this dowry must be chosen, and in the future this adoptive father must be treated like a real father.
"Then foster father can just give me the shop and ten acres of land in the village. These are enough." Zhou Xiaoyu chose these two. The shop should be in the town, and it will be much more convenient for him to open a shop to do business.
A shop with ten acres of good land is definitely the best dowry in the village.
"50 taels of silver are being added to the dowry, and I will give you another 550 taels of private money. That's it, don't talk about anything else." Han Xu finally added some silver, for fear that Zhou Xiaoyu would come to Zhu If the family has no money, it will suffer.
600 taels, which is not a lot!
"Thank you foster father!" Zhou Xiaoyu had no choice but to accept all of them, and declined, but he was really going to make her husband angry.
"There are still some things in the school. I'm going back now. You can think about it. Is there anything I missed. I'll come over tomorrow morning and tell me. You just need to remember, and you can ask for anything, because you are My adopted son." Han Xu is also marrying his elder brother for the first time, and he is afraid that he will miss something, so he plans to go back and read the book.
Zhou Xiaoyu felt warm in his heart. He did not recognize his adoptive father in vain. Although the recognition process was a bit tricky, in the end there was an extra person who sincerely planned for him.
"Then I'll see off my adoptive father!" Zhou Xiaoyu said and went out with Han Xu, and when they reached the door, "You go back! You have to think carefully about marriage matters. I think you have lived a peaceful and beautiful life all your life." Yes." After Han Xu gave another warning, he returned to the school in peace.
Zhou Xiaoyu closed the door, and when he walked into the house, the more he thought about it, the more he felt funny, all of this happened so fast, life is like a drama, you never know what the next scene will be like At the beginning, what is the performance.
When Han Xu returned to the school, he saw that the students were reciting books honestly, so he ordered a few students, took a test, gave another page of new text, and left school early.
He knew that tonight, Zhou Xiaoyu was going to have a long talk with Zhou Ningyuan, and it would be good to give their brothers some more time, but it was hard for him, and he had to go to bed on an empty stomach tonight.
After school early, Zhou Ningyuan was very happy, chatting and laughing with his friends, and arrived home not long after.
When Zhou Xiaoyu saw Xiao Baozi came back, he felt that it was much earlier than usual. He hadn't cooked the meal yet, so he only cooked the rice. Usually, Xiao Baozi didn't arrive home until the dishes were cooked.
Is this early school?
"Mr. has already finished class for us today. Mr. seems to have something to do. He has been busy for a long time and has been telling us to read books by ourselves. Didn't this sir eat at our house? And when did he leave?" ? Brother, what are you having for dinner?" Zhou Ningyuan followed behind Zhou Xiaoyu like a little nagging, asking a series of questions.
In fact, Zhou Ningyuan noticed that something seemed to have happened these few days, but he didn't know it.
"You! There are so many questions, which one should I answer first!" Zhou Xiaoyu tapped Zhou Ningyuan's forehead. The child must have sensed that something was wrong, and he wanted to ask in a different way.
Zhou Ningyuan said with a smile: "Brother, you can say whatever you want. I like to listen to it." Anyway, looking at the appearance of the elder brother, it doesn't seem like a bad thing happened. After talking, he also wanted to understand.
If Big Brother Zhu was here, Big Brother wouldn’t have to work so hard. Now that he’s still young, it’s not practical to take care of Big Brother well. Let Big Brother Zhu come over these few years. When he grows up, he will definitely take good care of him. Brother, don't let him suffer any grievances.
"Little ghost is clever! Let's have a good chat after we have eaten first." Zhou Xiaoyu made up his mind to talk about all these things today, or as the marriage progresses, Xiao Baozi will know sooner or later, at that time I'm afraid that this child has nothing on his face, but his heart is hurt badly.
"Enen, we need to have a good chat." Zhou Ningyuan repeated the words imitating Zhou Xiaoyu's tone, his small face was still very serious, which made people want to laugh when they saw it.
"You! The more you talk, the more energetic you are. Hurry up and start the fire!" Zhou Xiaoyu said with a smile, this little bun playing with Baolai is really overwhelming.
Thinking about chatting after the meal, Zhou Xiaoyu fried a large plate of pork and mixed a piece of shredded potato with cold. After it was done, he found a large bowl and filled half of each meal, and then took a plate to pack it tightly. After buttoning it, I went into the house and found a clean floral cloth and a basket, wrapped the big bowl tightly, and put it in the basket.
"Guess what I want to do?" Zhou Xiaoyu tentatively picked it up a few times, checking that it wouldn't spill out, and then asked Zhou Ningyuan. He had to test Xiao Baozi's observation ability.
"Brother, but do you want to send it to your husband?" Zhou Ningyuan asked. Since his eldest brother left food, he has been thinking about who it is going to be sent to.Recently, I often come to my house for dinner, and the only ones who are close to my elder brother are elder brother Zhu, Amo Zhou next door, and my husband.
Brother Zhu eats a lot, and these are obviously not enough.Zhou Ah Na looked like he wasn't at home.Then only Mr. is left, Mr. said that his cook has gone back to his hometown...
"It's so smart. Take it to the husband first, and we'll have dinner when we come back." Zhou Xiaoyu rubbed the little bun's head. This kid is really smart. He deserves to be his younger brother, just like him.
"Yeah!" After Zhou Ningyuan answered, he left the house with a basket on his shoulders, fearing that the food would be cold, and trotted steadily all the way to the school. After finding his husband, he put down the basket, said a few more words, and trotted home again up.
After receiving the delivered food, he opened it and saw that it was still steaming. Han Xu really felt that he had a adopted son, but it was different. Someone would miss this meal.
After Zhou Ningyuan arrived home, Zhou Xiaoyu's food was served on the table. After the two brothers washed their hands, they began to eat. During the meal, they chatted for a while, and no one mentioned what they wanted to talk about today.
Until bedtime, the two brothers lay on the warm kang with oil lamps on.
"Brother, what's the matter with you, tell me! No matter what you want to do, I will support you." Zhou Ningyuan turned sideways and looked at Zhou Xiaoyu, his eyes were darkened by the dim light.
Zhou Xiaoyu also turned sideways, facing Xiao Baozi, "I know you've always been smart, you must have noticed something. I just want to say, no matter what happens in the future, you are my younger brother, and I keep it on top of my heart." younger brother."
"Brother, I know these things. You are also my dearest and dearest elder brother." Zhou Ningyuan replied, knowing that elder brother still cares about him, he was careful when he said these words, lest he miss something.
"Brother Zhu and I will get married in ten days. After we get married, you will still live with me, but there is one more person in the family who can eat..." Zhou Xiaoyu felt awkward after speaking, he was older than Xiao Baozi There are many, and it is not uncommon for the elder brother to be in charge of his own marriage when his father is not around.Why is it a bit awkward just facing the little bun?It's as if Xiao Baozi should be consulted first on this matter. If it develops normally, he will definitely be solicited, but this matter develops so fast that he didn't even think of it.
Talking about the marriage is so difficult, how will you deal with the matter of recognizing your godfather?
