Myolie pushed him away, "No, when will you let your mother go to my house to propose marriage, I, I'll—" Before she could finish her words, Myolie turned around and ran away.
Shanzi stood there and looked at her back. When Xing'er turned the corner and was out of sight, he walked back listlessly.
Shanzi's mother washed the dishes and was chopping lotus seeds in the house.
Lotus seeds are abundant in the south of the Yangtze River.
After the fresh lotus seeds are picked and dried, the blue-black shell is harder than anything else.
You have to take a special splitting knife and split it on the wooden pillar.
Chopping a pound requires a few cents in wages. Shan Zi's mother has been chopping at home every day recently, and she can earn dozens of cents a day.
Shanzi's mother was concentrating on chopping, when the sound of Shanzi's urn came to her ears, "Mother--"
Shanzi's mother turned around, "Why did you come back if you didn't go to Sanlang to play?"
Shanzi sat down depressedly, lowered his head and held his head. , "Mom, I want to get married."
"What--" Shan Zi's mother got excited and lost her grip. The lotus seed rolled and almost split her hand.
Shanzi raised his head, "I want to get married to Xing'er. Mom, please find someone to go to her house to propose marriage."
Shanzi's mother threw the knife away, "What kind of marriage? How can the family have money to get you married now?"
"You don't need a betrothal gift to get married? "
You didn't see that my hands are full of cuts. How can you say this now!"
The lotus seeds are round and difficult to chop. It's easy to chop them if you're not skilled at the beginning.
Shanzi straightened his neck, "Don't you still have more than ten taels of silver?"
"Then Mr. Su won't urge us to pay back the money now. This money is enough to hire me!"
Shanzi's mother was so angry that she closed the door with her backhand and said sternly : "Let me tell you, it doesn't matter if you marry someone else. It's absolutely impossible for you to marry Xing'er!"
"Her mother is not a good person, and Xing'er's girl is not good either. If she is really good, she will I can't hook up with you!"
She said in a softer voice, "It's not that my mother doesn't want to marry you. If Xing'er was half as capable as Xiao Fei, I would have gritted my teeth and married you. The girl is stupid and lazy, she can't even hold up a little finger of Xiao Fei!"
Although Shan Zi's mother now dared not think of Gu Fei as her daughter-in-law, she unconsciously regarded Gu Fei as the criterion for choosing her daughter-in-law.
Shanzi's eyes were red and he stared at his mother, "Don't mention anything about Xiaofei to me, I hate her! I want to marry Xing'er, give me the money, and I'll find someone to propose marriage myself!"
Shanzi's mother He looked at his son blankly. People say that after marrying a wife, you forget your mother. This wife is not even married yet, and her son looks like he wants to eat her!
She was a widow, and she spent the rest of her life focusing on her son. She usually felt that she was a loving mother and a filial son, but she never imagined that her son would be so rebellious today.
Shan Zi's mother was extremely angry for a moment and pointed at Shan Zi, "Hello..."
She shook her body twice and fell softly to the ground.
When Shanzi saw that his mother was fainted, he panicked and threw himself on his mother and shouted, "Mom, mother--" After
shaking for a while, there was no movement. Shanzi hurriedly ran out and called Aunt Liu to the other side, "Aunt Liu." "My mother fainted in the house, please come and have a look."
Xing'er was coming out to splash water. When she heard Shanzi's shout, she felt extremely panicked. She quickly turned around and went in. When she entered, she tripped over the threshold and almost fell. wrestle.
Aunt Liu came out after hearing the sound and hurried to Shanzi's house.
When they entered, they saw Shan Zi's mother lying on the ground. Aunt Liu squatted down and pinched her hard. Shan Zi's mother exhaled a long breath and slowly opened her eyes.
