Pastoral affairs

It's quite generous of Mrs. Sun to take other people's money as a favor, but Cui Wei just heard a few pennies, and she didn't care about it. After thinking about it, she nodded, glanced at Nie Qing, and turned to Sun inquired about the news and said: "I don't know which family my sister-in-law mentioned, and now I'm going to start wearing ears?" Cui Wei remembered the way people wear ears at this time. The big needle pierced directly through the ear, and a girl had to pass this level. Many girls were looking forward to piercing their ears, but Cui Wei still felt a little apprehensive when she thought of the scene in her memory.

This room Cui Wei asked, the Ruan family woman had already taken a length of thick white thread and threaded it on a needle about the length of her little finger, twisted the thread with her saliva, and was still rummaging through things in her bag .Cui Wei poked her head over to take a look, and saw that the inside was pitch black, and there were several bamboo tube jars, so she dared to say that the workmanship was top-notch!The woman took out two slices of radish, and took a torch to warm up the lamp. Cui Wei's eyelids twitched when she saw it, and Mrs. Sun couldn't even blink her eyes. This ear piercing means that her daughter is already able to do it. Of course she also cared about the sign of marriage. After hearing Cui Wei's question, she didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but when she thought that she still wanted her to help out with some money, she forced herself to bear the impatience in her heart and said:

"Someone from the Chen family in Fengming Village came to propose a marriage. Anyway, you don't understand. The old lady is still here. It's not your turn to make decisions about Nie Qing. Why do you ask so much!" Said patiently, Cui Wei was a little speechless at first, but she was talking about Sun's crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, but she couldn't care less about Sun's right now.As soon as she heard the Chen family in Fengming Village, she instinctively felt a little familiar, so she couldn't help asking: "Mother-in-law, which family is the Chen family in Fengming Village?" She seemed to have heard of the Chen family in Fengming Village. Mrs. Ruan stared impatiently at the needle in Mrs. Ruan's hand, but Cui Wei also frowned.At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Nie Qing's ears that had been pinched by the radish slices, and they didn't notice that Nie Qiuran's brows were suddenly wrinkled, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

The big needle was burned by Mrs. Ruan on the fire once, and it was a little red, so she just took a piece of handkerchief and wiped it, and squeezed the radish slices tightly.Then he stabbed Nie Qing's ear fiercely!Nie Qing showed some anticipation and some surprise and fear on her face. When she instinctively wanted to hide back, Mrs. Sun from behind patted her on the back, cursing, that Ruan Granny had already put the needle through. .He tore off the sliced ​​radish, and quickly made a knot in the thread.While taking the scissors to cut the thread, he said: "These ears are worn, turn them around every day, so as not to close them up, and turn them around with the thread, don't be afraid of the pain, you will have to wear earrings in the future!" between.She pierced Nie Qing's other ear as well.

Cui Wei's ears felt a little cold when she saw it, and she subconsciously covered her ears.Nie Qing reached out and touched her earlobe curiously.Her earlobe is a little red now, but she hasn't cried yet, obviously it doesn't hurt too much, maybe it's numb from the pain, and she hasn't reacted yet.Cui Wei reached out and poked Nie Qiuran, signaling him to go back to the house to get the money. After a long while, Nie Qiuran seemed to have come to his senses. He went back to the house and took some copper coins out. He opened his mouth and said: "According to the rules, there is also a two-wen fee. Nie Zhuangyuan is the master, and he must not be ignorant of this." Nie Qiuran was thinking about the Chen family in Fengming Village at the moment, and he was too lazy After arguing with the old woman, she counted ten fen in the past, and the old woman happily thanked her, packed her things and went out.

Sun's buttocks sat firmly, and she didn't intend to leave. Just at this moment, Nie Qiuran also asked her something, so she also pulled Cui Wei to sit down, looked at Sun and frowned and said: "Mother, you The Chen family in Fengming Village, is that Chen Xiaojun?" Sun's eyes were still passing over the hand he had just taken the money with, his face was full of greed, and when he heard his son's question, he raised his head in a daze: " Chen Xiaojun? I don’t know if the son of Old Chen’s family is called this, anyway, there are quite a few families with the surname Chen in Fengming Village, so which one do you care about?”

Chen Xiaojun's name was indeed familiar. Cui Wei felt a little contemptuous of her when she heard Sun's words just now, but now she heard what Nie Qiuran said about Chen Xiaojun, and frowned again.Nie Qiuran glanced at her darkly, but Cui Wei was wondering where she had heard the name before, so she didn't notice Nie Qiuran's expression.

"Okay, it doesn't matter which family he is, it's just a dowry." Mrs. Sun waved her hand, regardless of the resentment in Nie Qing's eyes when she heard this, she just looked at Nie Qiuran and laughed along with her. Said: "Da Lang, look at how mother raised you, raised you so big, and now mother is old, you will be promising in the future, mother doesn't want to cause you trouble, why don't you Give me some old-age money every year, this way, you two will be more relaxed, so you don't have to take care of me, an old woman." When Sun said this, she laughed loudly, with a bold look on her face.

Originally, she thought that Cui Wei would be very grateful for what she said. After all, as a mother-in-law, she doesn't want her daughter-in-law to wait on her, and she only needs to pay some money to avoid their troubles. This is a good deal in Sun's opinion After all, if she has sheep like Cui Wei, and her mother-in-law is as annoying as that old immortal aunt, she would rather take some money to spend than serve herself.

As soon as Mrs. Sun opened her mouth, Cui Wei was shocked immediately, and she didn't care to think about the familiarity of Chen Xiaojun's name, she stared at Mrs. Sun speechlessly.At times like this, Nie Qiuran is usually the one who should speak the most. Sure enough, Nie Qiuran narrowed his eyes and reminded Sun: "Mother, my father is still here." Is it too early to think about relying on your son for the elderly?When Sun was asked such a question, her face showed a bit of panic. It was obvious that her fear of Master Nie was deeply rooted.But when she thought that she was almost killed by Mrs. Nie this time, she was still spending money on medicines, and Mrs. Nie didn't pay much attention to her. If it wasn't for marrying Nie Ming and getting some betrothal gifts, Mrs. Sun might still Can't get out of bed.

Because of this, Mrs. Sun knew the importance of money, and Nie Qiuran would be promising, but he hadn't really been an official yet, not to mention that he was not close to him, so how could money come in handy.If he gave himself money now, anyway, if he really wants to be successful in the future, it is impossible for him to really deny himself as an old lady, otherwise he is not afraid that his reputation will be ruined!Mrs. Sun was making up her mind, but she showed a complacent look on her face.

The fight between mother and child is usually due to the word filial piety, and almost all the younger generations suffer.Mrs. Sun also thought that she should not ask Cui Wei to help her grind glutinous rice ball noodles, and directly asked him to get money for her medicine to eat, and Nie Qiuran didn't dare to refuse any more.Mrs. Sun was thinking in her heart, seeing Nie Qiuran's silence for a moment, she couldn't help but feel a sense of complacency in her heart. She wanted to speak again and stab Nie Qiuran once, but unexpectedly Nie Qiuran suddenly looked up. Mrs. Sun glanced at her, and then nodded, agreeing to the matter.

"Mother's words make sense. I don't know how much money Mother wants a year?"

At first, Mrs. Sun was thinking that if Nie Qiuran refused her, she would cry and make a fuss, so as to destroy his prestige.Unexpectedly, Nie Qiuran agreed immediately, which made her stunned for a moment. After hearing Nie Qiuran's words clearly, Sun's heart was full of ecstasy. After thinking about it, she originally wanted to open her mouth and say that she One tael of rice grain plus vegetables, oil, salt, etc. of one tael of silver a year.But now that Nie Qiuran agreed so readily, Sun suddenly rolled his eyes, thought for a while, stretched out a palm, and replied tentatively:

"Look, can five taels of silver make it?" After she finished speaking, as if she was afraid that Nie Qiuran would refuse if she took a bite, she quickly counted with her fingers: "I need to take some medicine a year and take care of my body. It will cost a lot of money to make a few new clothes."

Hearing her words, Cui Wei was almost unhappy.The Sun family really dared to speak, like the Cui family, Cui Shifu and his son worked on the crops of nine people, but they were so busy all year round that they sold all the harvest without eating or drinking, and they couldn't get together five taels of silver. When she was a cash cow and failed, she opened her mouth and said that she needed to take medicine to maintain her health and wear new clothes. She felt that she gave birth to a son just to pay off her debts!Thinking of this, Cui Wei couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic to Nie Qiuran. People say that a son is born to be loved by his parents, but he looks like he was born to pay off his debts. Sun's birth of him is to carry on the family line, and to wait When he grows up, he will take good care of her. Mrs. Sun treats Nie Qiuwen like a jewel, but treats her eldest son as if he picked her up. No wonder Nie Qiuran treats her very lightly.

"Alright, five taels of silver is five taels of silver!" Nie Qiuran nodded unexpectedly when he heard Sun's words.Not only Nie Qing glanced at him in surprise, even Mrs. Sun was surprised and delighted, and almost jumped up from the chair, laughing happily: "Da Lang, I said you are a filial man, I know I love your mother..." Nie Qiuran saw Sun's ecstasy, and smiled faintly, while looking at Sun gently and said:

"Mother, I'm in charge of this matter. Yes, I will give five liang of silver a year as alimony. But mother also knows that I haven't made a name for myself yet, so I will record this money first." As soon as he said this, Mrs. Sun froze, and the smile on her face also froze for a moment. Unexpectedly, Nie Qiuran continued: "It's just mother, I want to seek fame now, why don't you lend me some money first, and later When I'm successful, I can double the alimony and give it to you. I don't borrow much, so let's borrow 20 taels. Didn't Qiuwen's mother save him three taels of silver and plan to wait for him to marry a wife later? My son, anyway, my cousin is also my own, so it doesn’t matter if mother saves some dowry, and for the remaining 17 taels, mother can borrow some from her grandparents, and then borrow some from people in the village!" Nie Qiuran glanced at Sun, There was an extremely gentle smile on his face, and after thinking about it, he was about to go into the house: "I'll take out a piece of paper, let's write a contract, so that my stepmother won't say that I have repented!"
