Chapter 203 Lian Man'er's Advice
"What?" After hearing Erlang's words, the old man was surprised to read the full text. Holding a banquet in a restaurant in the town is much more expensive than holding a banquet at home.
"Master." Erlang, who has always been taciturn, suddenly became versatile, "The chef at the banquet is better than the chef we found. The tables, chairs, benches, bowls and chopsticks are all ready-made, and we don't have to wash it myself. The banquet is decent, and the people in our village look good, but it actually doesn't cost much more than our own. Our pork, bean sprouts, and pickled vegetables can be used, so there is no need to buy them separately..."
Old Master Lian stared at Erlang for a while, then went to see Lian Shouyi and He.
"You two know about this, too?"
"No, I don't know." Even Shouyi and He clan said.
"Erlang, who said this to you by the old Zhao family? When did you say it?" The old man asked Erlang again.
"Just yesterday, it was the uncle of the Zhao family." Erlang said. In the tradition of Sanshiliyingzi, before men and women got married, they called each other's parents uncles and aunts. There were also people who called relatives aunts and uncles around the bush.
"Erlang, you don't understand. If you do it in a restaurant, you don't spend a little more money. We are the chef who invites you. He knows how to save you the ingredients for the chef in the restaurant. The dishes he cooks are also good-looking and not as affordable as we can hold a banquet at our own house." Mr. Lian thought for a while and said on the spot, "No one in our villages has ever held a banquet at the restaurant."
Even the old man said this but did not agree.
"Master," Erlang was a little anxious, "I agreed to speak yesterday. Madam. Our family is not without this money now. We sold a pig, and there were still thirty taels of money for selling wine a few days ago. Haven't you moved yet?"
"Erlang." Zhou said, "We are not alone in our family, and there is Saburo and Silang. They won't marry a wife in the future? It's hard to save money! If Silang can wait for two more years, Saburo's business should be arranged soon. Is there nothing else in our family?"
Zhou also disagreed.
Naturally, the others didn't speak, and even Shouyi and He looked at each other and remained silent.
"Erlang. Don't worry." Mr. Lian said, "This is a big deal. The Zhao family should send a matchmaker to say that, or should I tell me, your father. They told you that you are young and tender, so they agreed. Tomorrow, your father and I will go to the town and talk to them. Let's discuss it according to what we do."
Even if the old man said this, Erlang would not be able to say anything else.
Next, the family started planning.
Even the old man was smoking a dry tobacco, and the good mood accumulated on the day appeared.
…………
After almost the matter of Erlang's marriage was settled, Lian Man'er's family returned to the west wing. After a while, they should go to the breakfast shop to prepare for the food they would sell tomorrow.
The whole family sat around the kang and chatted.
"I have seen the girl from the Zhao family, she looks very good." Zhang said, "That's right, the requirements are a bit high."
Zhang's statement is more implicit.
"What's the point? It's about to get married. I think Erlang is very sweet, so I'll go to the town if I have nothing to do." Lian Shouxin said, "It's better to wait until the door is over. At that time, she wouldn't have to follow Erlang and gradually got used to it."
Someone's sweet heart is in their local dialect. The roughly means that he likes someone very much in his heart. Erlang is willing to have this marriage because he is afraid he has fallen in love with Zhao Xiu'e.
"I hope." Zhang did not continue to say deeper, "This marriage really requires a good match, otherwise it will be troublesome."
"I think my grandfather was so happy. When Brother Erlang said that the Zhao family wanted us to hold a banquet in the restaurant in the town, my grandfather was unhappy." Lian Man'er said.
Lian Man'er could understand Mr. Lian. When he decided on the marriage of the Zhao family, Lian Shouren was expected to become an official. Now that Mr. Lian had no plans, the overall development plan of the Lian family changed accordingly. The reason why the Zhao family got married to the Lian family was probably because they considered Lian Shouren's future.
Even the old man planned to take his children and grandchildren to make a living by farming in the future, so it is obviously not appropriate to let Erlang and his new wife live in the town. Is there any need to keep the house in the town?
"Suddenly, he said he would hold a banquet in a restaurant in the town. Why didn't his family say it when he was engaged before?" Lian Shouxin said suddenly, "The Zhao family doesn't want to kiss this family. They deliberately mention this matter and convince us?"
Lian Man'er nodded, it was possible, it was too possible.
"I think the old man is thinking of this." Zhang thought for a moment and said, "No wonder he said he would hire a chef or something. No hurry, he has to wait until he comes back in the town."
"If he really retires from the marriage because of this, his Zhao family will be terrified." Lian Shouxin said angrily, "Who doesn't know what his family is thinking."
"I heard that the girl wanted to marry into the county town at the beginning. She didn't find the owner, so she went to the countryside." Zhang said.
"I don't think she is like a farming worker," said Goro. He took Erlang to see Zhao Xiu'e, Lian Man'er, Goro and Xiaoqi just happened to meet, and he gave Zhao Xiu'e a full look.
"Oh, my son will look at his wife." Zhang turned his head and looked at Goro, laughing.
Even Shuxin laughed.
Lian Man'er, Lian Zhi'er and Xiaoqi couldn't help laughing when they saw Goro's face turned red.
Goro turned around, he wanted to leave these people, and he regretted saying what he said just now.
After a while, he changed the topic of Erlang and Zhao Xiu'e. After all, maybe this marriage will be ruined tomorrow.
"Man'er," Zhang suddenly remembered something and asked Lian Man'er, "When I was in the room, I didn't eat, what did Jizu's wife pull you? I looked at her and looked at you, right?"
"Mom, do you see?" Lian Man'er felt helpless, "She wanted me to plead for the uncle in front of my breasts."
"What did you say to your breasts?" Zhang asked.
"What am I going to say? Can we live like this day?" Lian Man'er grimaced.
"His uncle... looks pitiful for the past two days." Zhang thought for a while and said, "Looking at that face, it's all wobbly. I'm sure I'll have frostbite on my hands."
When Lian Man'er saw Zhang's tone, she seemed to have sympathized with Gu, and she suddenly felt a bell in her heart.
"Mom, aren't you going to plead with the uncle?"
"What? Man'er, what did you say?"
Zhang was thinking about his thoughts, but he didn't hear Lian Man'er clearly.
"Mom, don't be stupid. It's not easy for us to calm down for two days." Lian Man'er grabbed Zhang's hand and cried.
Zhang was amused.
"Mom, you are so filial, my mother always asks you for trouble. Mom, do you know why not?" Lian Man'er said seriously.
This topic made Zhang feel depressed and she didn't say anything.
"Mom, if you don't always stand up for my third uncle and help me, my breasts will definitely be different to you." Lian Man'er simply gave the answer.
"I know." Zhang said softly, "but I can't stand it, and I didn't go against your breasts."
Zhang said it right. She just shared the fire that Zhou's hair on Zhao's body on her. But this also prevented Zhou from adjusting Zhao's body, making Zhou seem unreasonable and mean to treat his daughter-in-law. I am afraid that in Zhou's eyes, he would still think that Zhang wanted to win over Zhao and deal with her mother-in-law together.
"Mom, my nanny doesn't think so. She must think you are fucking her." Lian Man'er said.
Mrs. Zhang stopped talking again.
"Mom, I know you are soft-hearted, but the eldest uncle and the third uncle are not the same person." Lian Man'er said.
Zhao is an honest man. Even if he can't repay Zhang, he will remember Zhang's goodness. Zhao and Zhang's two sisters-in-law lived in the opposite house and had eaten in the same pot for so many years, and they had already had feelings for each other.
But the Gu family is different.
Gu is very smart and selfish, and has no feelings for Zhang and other sisters-in-law.
For example, there is a pit, and there must be someone in this pit. Gu fell into it and couldn't climb out, so someone went to pull her. Then, what Gu would most likely do is to pull this person into the pit and then climb out of the pit on the pit.
Lian Man'er didn't want Zhang to be this person.
But Zhang is too diligent, too soft-hearted, and is too forgetful about other people's evils.
"Mom, you can't speak for the eldest uncle, nor can you help her work." Lian Man'er told Zhang. In order to convince Zhang, Lian Man'er moved out of Zhao. "Mom, you should see it too. My nanny has to make trouble for me. If you help the eldest uncle, it will be the third uncle's turn to be unlucky again. Mom, you can't bear to see the third uncle unlucky."
Lian Man'er's big eyes flashed and looked at Zhang.
"We're all separated. I can't do anything to do in the shop every day. I don't have time to help your uncle." Zhang thought seriously for a while before saying, "Man'er, mom is not confused. Mom helps your third uncle. Your third uncle is an honest man and has never done anything bad. Your uncle is different, mom understands that in his heart."
"Mom, I'll feel relieved if you think so." Lian Man'er said. What she was worried about was that Gu took advantage of Zhang's sympathy. Now that she knew that Zhang was thinking so clearly, she had no need to worry.
…………
The next day, after breakfast, Mr. Lian took Lian Shouyi to the town and came back almost noon.
"Take the beans to the fourth family and ask the fourth wife to quickly spread the bean sprouts." As soon as the old man came back, he was busy assigning them, "Erlang, after lunch, you go to Xicun and settle your life with Chu He..."
"Oh." Erlang agreed happily, unable to hide the smile on his face.
Even after the old man talked to the Zhao family, Erlang and Zhao Xiu'e's marriage was still the same, and the Zhao family gave up the request to hold a banquet in the town restaurant. However...
"The banquet is held in the town's house, anyway, it's not a few steps away from the village."
