Eldest daughter

Chapter 248
During the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, the Moon Goddess is worshipped. This year, Wang Chun'er got married, and there was one less person in the Wang family's big house, which seemed a bit deserted. Just like in previous years, Mrs. Wang asked everyone in the big house to go to the main room to have dinner together for the festival.

Wang Yuan'er complied, pretending not to look at Zhang's curled lips and tongue, anyway, everyone has a share, so what's the point of them going to have a meal?

There were fewer people, so there was no table sharing, the whole family gathered around the table, some children were chirping, but it was lively, even Wang Miner's daughter, who hadn't been picked up yet, was babbling.

The old man Wang glanced at the grandchildren at the table. Baolai was still held in Wang Yuan'er's arms, and he took a wooden spoon in his hand and stuffed food into his mouth. Wang Laner.

Dafang's two children are still young, and Wang Chun'er is married again, so there is one less labor force, so I'm afraid they are too busy.

"Yuan'er, in the past Chun'er was the one who brought Baolai. Now that she's married, you and Qing'er are still busy with the shop and family affairs. Let Baolai come to the main house. Your grandma and I will help take care of her." Old man Wang suddenly said.

Wang Yuan'er was stunned for a moment, and said: "Grandfather, how good is this? Baolai is easy to wear, and you are too troublesome and tired to carry it."

Little Baolai was just at the age when he had just learned to trot, so how could the old man catch up with him when he ran so fast?
Zhang said: "That's right, father, mother, you are not young, how can you take them with you."

What she meant was not that she felt sorry for the two old guys, but that they took care of their grandson, who would do the housework?Is it all thrown to her?That's not okay.

"Why can't I take it? My legs and feet are still flexible!" Mrs. Wang gave Zhang a white look.

"Now at home, your grandma and I are both free. There are your second uncle and the others in the shop, and you have your own business. Anyway, you are free. It's the same when you are done with your work." Old man Wang looked at Baolai. road.

Mrs. Zhang immediately yelled: "Father, Mother, you are free there. There are so many things at home. I can't even take care of Zhilian coming back to stay for a few days. I hope Mother can help me!"

"She doesn't live here all the time. Isn't the Tang family all right now? Min'er will always come to pick her up." Mrs. Wang looked at her coldly: "You want to avoid work, but you are still a mother Woman, you are so lazy, how can you be the housewife?"

"I……"

Wang Er took her hand and reprimanded lightly: "Just follow the arrangement of parents."

Mrs. Zhang pursed her lips unwillingly and snorted softly.

"Lan'er is almost eight years old, so I can take it." Seeing this, Wang Yuan'er looked at Lan'er and smiled.

"Grandma, I can take my younger brother." Wang Lan'er raised her head and said after hearing this.

The children of the poor have already been in charge of the family. These days, the children of the peasant family are not jumping out one by one, they all take one by one, and they take their younger brothers to cook and wash at the age of seven or eight. It is everywhere.

"She's still a child. She wants to play. How can she take it with her? Today's children should be more careful. I heard that a while ago, there was a gangster in the next town who kidnapped children." Mrs. Wang said with a somber face.

Wang Yuan'er's face was serious, she had heard about this matter before, and she also specially told Lan'er not to believe those strangers' words casually, and not to go to a remote place to play by herself, for fear of encountering a stalker .

Wang Qing'er bumped Wang Yuan'er's hand, and said: "Elder Sister, Grandpa and the others are also right, so you don't have to watch them all day, anyway, I'm at the shop, if you don't have time, let Grandpa and the others help."

Wang Yuan'er thought for a while, and had no choice but to do so, then smiled and said: "Then I will trouble Grandma and Grandpa."

"That's it." Old man Wang nodded, and then started talking to Wang Er about the shop.

Wang Yuan'er occasionally interjected a few words, then suddenly looked at Wang Fuquan, is this kid a little too quiet tonight, and he didn't say a few words?

"Fuquan, you follow Second Uncle to run the shop, what have you learned these days?" Wang Yuaner asked casually.

Wang Fu was absent-minded, as if he didn't hear or answer.

"Fuquan?"

Wang Yuan'er's voice became a little louder, everyone at the table looked at Wang Fuquan, Mrs. Zhang patted his head, and said, "Your elder sister asked you something, did you lose your mind or something?"

"Mother, why did you hit me, it hurts to death!" Wang Fuquan rubbed his head and stared blankly.

"Your elder sister has already asked you twice." Wang Er glanced at him.

Wang Fuquan looked at Wang Yuan'er and said, "That's it, what can I do, I'm not as capable as you." He pushed the bowl and chopsticks: "I don't want to eat, put a lamp in the river tonight, my cousin and I will go to the riverside Look at the lanterns."

As he spoke, he ran out without waiting for a few people to respond.

"You son of a bitch, you haven't even eaten a few bites of your meal!" Mrs. Zhang called from behind, "Come back earlier."

Watching Wang Fuquan disappear into the darkness, Wang Yuaner narrowed his eyes.

After the reunion dinner, Wang Qing'er helped clean up the table, and Wang Yuan'er went to help the younger brothers take a bath. After washing, the altar table was already set up in the yard to celebrate the moon.

There are melons and fruits, moon cakes, snails, chestnuts, and incense candles on the table. The table is full and very rich.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, the moonlight is bright and clear, and the night is so quiet that you can hear the small conversations in the neighbors.

Knock knock, someone knocked on the yard door.

At this time, the gate of the courtyard was not closed, looking over, it was actually Cui Yuan.

"Hey, Master Cui is here, just set up the table to enjoy the moon, come quickly." Old man Wang went up to meet him.

Cui Yuan walked in, glanced at the things on the table, and said with a smile: "It's just in time." He handed Old Man Wang a bottle of wine, "I don't know if Old Man Wang likes it."

Old man Wang's eyes lit up, he rubbed his hands to take it, and said, "Come and sit, why don't you bring wine."

"I don't want to sit down anymore. I just watched the lights by the river. There are so many people that I'm afraid of causing trouble, so I wanted to go and take a look." Cui Yuan smiled slightly, and then looked at Wang Yuan'er: "I wonder if Miss Wang is willing to go with me?" one trip."

"Yes, why don't you want to, Yuan girl, go, go quickly, get a lamp." Old man Wang echoed repeatedly, looked up at the moonlight above his head, and laughed: "The moon is full enough tonight." It’s bright enough, you don’t need to use a lamp, you can definitely see the road.”

Wang Yuan'er looked at her grandpa's joy, raised her eyebrows, and looked at Cui Yuan.

She bought her grandpa with a bottle of wine, you can do it.

Cui Yuan smiled, and said back with his eyes, thank you.

"Sister, you go, I'll take my younger brother to bed tonight." Wang Qing'er winked and smiled.

Wang Yuan'er glared at her, stuffed Wang Baolai into her arms, and said to grandma, "I'll come as soon as I go."

The two walked out one after the other.

Mrs. Wang couldn't see anyone, so she looked at her old man with a little dissatisfaction: "Why did you just agree?"

"What?" Old man Wang pulled off the bottle cap, and when he smelled the wine, he felt drunk.

"Yuan'er is still a big, unmarried girl. It's so late, is it plausible for you to let her go out with a big man?" Mrs. Wang was a little annoyed.

Old man Wang was taken aback.

"Isn't it? Father, you must know that this man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried, and it was just a couple of years ago. If there is something first and last, if it gets out, it will be a shame." Zhang said with a bitter face.

"My eldest sister is not as stupid as Wang Min'er, so she won't do those embarrassing things. She needs someone to help clean up her tail." Wang Qing'er couldn't stand listening, and snorted: "My eldest sister and Master Cui are friends of gentlemen. Man of etiquette."

The matter of Wang Min'er was a pain in Zhang's heart, and it was also a pain in the Wang family.

As soon as Wang Qing'er said this, Zhang's complexion changed, and even Mrs. Wang's complexion changed drastically.

"Qing'er, what nonsense are you talking about? Is this what you should say?"

Wang Qing'er curled her lips and said, "Grandma, it was the second aunt who uttered wild words first. Who in the family doesn't know who my eldest sister is? It's only the second aunt who talks nonsense and doesn't treat my niece as a niece."

"Hehe, you little hoof, can I still say that I am wrong, I have something to say in this book, the flowers are like the moon..."

"Enough." After drinking, Mrs. Wang heard the voice in the next yard seem to be quieter, so she lowered her voice and scolded: "You can't stop your mouth if you eat and drink. Are you saying this casually? Forget Min A lesson from my son?"

Mrs. Zhang was not convinced.

Why, she, Miner, should be disliked if she did something wrong. What about Wang Yuaner, who is so blatant to go out with a man in the middle of the night, just defending like this?

"Keep your mouth shut." Wang Eryi said coldly, pulling at Mrs. Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang snorted and muttered, "I didn't mean to gossip on purpose. I was afraid that she would lose her mind for a while? Master Cui is a dragon and a phoenix, and a high-ranking official. Which girl in Changle Town doesn't like it?" ?”

Everyone fell silent.

"Okay, okay, let's enjoy the moon." Old man Wang was full of irritability.

From the very beginning, he felt that the Wang family owed Cui Yuan a lot, and it was common for Cui Yuan to come to the Wang family, and Yuan'er could agree, but he just asked her to accompany her to the river for a walk, and he agreed without thinking too much, how could he think of the relationship between men and women? ?
"Father, mother, as my second aunt, I can't control Yuan girl, but you are grandpa and grandma, and you have to make decisions for her." Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but said sourly: "For a family like ours, it's fine if we climb high branches. If we can't, I'm afraid we will lose our wife and lose our army."

Wang Qing'er glared at her angrily, this second aunt really couldn't spit ivory out of a dog's mouth, and couldn't say anything good.

Mrs. Wang didn't make a sound, but her eyes were full of worry. When she returned to the house after paying homage to the moon lady, she couldn't help asking the old man: "What do you mean, Mr. Cui? If you really like our Yuaner, you should send him away If it’s not the official media that came to propose marriage, then you should avoid it, what’s the point of being so unclear?”

Old man Wang smoked a hookah and said, "I'm afraid it will be difficult for Yuan'er!"

"What do you mean?" Mrs. Wang frowned.

"What the second family said is right, how can a family like ours be so high?"

Mrs. Wang pursed her lips, feeling a little annoyed, and said, "I'll go to Matchmaker Zhu tomorrow."

"Don't be silly, ask Yuan'er in advance, what kind of temper she is, you don't know, if you get angry with her, I'm afraid it will be more difficult to deal with." Old man Wang stopped immediately, thought for a while and said: "I see Master Cui may not be thoughtless, why not ask Yuan Er first."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang could only restrain herself and sighed.
