Master Zhao Changgui and the other man put their things on the ground and sat on the kang in Shen's house.
"This is my eldest son, his full name is Zhao Ping'an, he's here to help me carry things today, Anzi, hurry up and call someone."
"Hello, Grandpa, Auntie, Baibai." Zhao Ping'an stood up and called to everyone in the room in a reserved manner.
Everyone in the Shen family nodded to show that they were welcome, then looked at Zhao Ping'an and Zhao Changgui with strange eyes.
Just because of Zhao Ping's long square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, in the eyes of people of this era, he is definitely a handsome guy.
Moreover, he was a head taller than his father, which was very rare in that era when hunger was common.
Look at Zhao Changgui's appearance, with squinty eyes, thick lips, and a flat nose. He looks nothing like his son.
Old Man Shen asked the eldest son's wife to quickly pour some hot water.
Before the eldest daughter-in-law could respond, the door curtain was opened and Shen Hongmei came in with two bowls of hot water.
A bowl was placed in front of Zhao Changgui: "Uncle Zhao, please drink some water."
Zhao Changgui quickly took it with both hands: "Okay, okay, okay."
After that, he turned to Old Man Shen and asked, "Is this also your daughter? I haven't seen her before?"
Old Man Shen: "This is Hongmei from the old family, my little granddaughter. She doesn't go out much, so you may not have seen her much."
Zhao Changgui: "You are so handsome, just like your family!"
On the other side, Shen Hongmei blushed and placed the remaining bowl of water in front of Zhao Ping'an, saying in a mosquito-like voice: "You...you drink water too."
The young Zhao Ping'an quickly stood up, not daring to even look at the girl in front of him, and kept thanking her with a wooden face and lowered his head.
Wang Huilian, who was standing nearby, stared at her daughter blankly, as if she were falling into an icy cave.
Whenever Zhao Changgui came before, she would keep Shen Hongmei from leaving the house, for fear that something might go wrong. At that time, her daughter was obedient and never came near here.
Today, she actually came to deliver water for the first time ever, and her face was full of shyness. When Wang Huilian saw the handsome Zhao Ping'an, as an experienced person, how could she not understand her daughter's little thoughts?
Wang Huilian, who was originally full of smiles, now looked frosty. She forced a smile and said to everyone, "Hongmei and I will go prepare dinner. You guys can chat."
As he said this, he pinched Shen Hongmei's arm with his hand, gritted his teeth and dragged her out of the house, and directly dragged her into the west room.
"Mom, what are you doing? Be gentle, it hurts so much." Shen Hongmei shook off Wang Huilian's hand in angrily.
Wang Huilian pointed at her head with a finger in frustration: "What am I doing? I was just about to ask you what you were doing? Damn girl, what are you doing running over there?"
After hearing what her mother said, Shen Hongmei felt a little guilty. She raised her hand to tidy up her hair, lowered her head and did not dare to face her mother.
"I...I'm going to get some water, what else can I do?"
"You're still being stubborn, you're still being stubborn, you really... you really piss me off, you're still talking nonsense to me, your eyes are almost like they're growing on someone else's body, do you think I can't see that?"
Wang Huilian was so angry that she raised her hand and twisted her arm: "Do you know who that is? That's Zhao Changgui's son. When Xiaodongwu's girl marries him, she will be Zhao Ping'an's stepmother. How dare you have such evil thoughts? Are you going to piss me off to death before you're satisfied?"
"Whose two sisters would marry a father and son? Besides, even if your father and I were not afraid of losing face and let you marry him, would you have to call that little bitch mother in the future? Think about whether you can open your mouth or not."
"I...I..." Shen Hongmei's eyes immediately turned red when she heard her mother's words.
Just now she was lying on the inside of the door, looking out through the crack of the door, and who knew that the person who walked in was actually tall and good-looking!!!
You can look all over the village, no, you can look in several nearby villages. Shen Hongmei has never seen anyone so handsome.
But why is he Zhao Changgui's son?
Thinking of this, Shen Hongmei turned around, lay on the kang and started crying.
"My dear, please keep your voice down!"
Wang Huilian wanted to cover her daughter’s mouth with a piece of cloth. What would happen if the people next door heard it?
The west room is desolate and sad, but the east room is quite harmonious.
After everyone chatted for a while, Zhao Changgui put the bag of brown sugar he brought and the remaining 4 yuan of betrothal money on the kang.
"This is the remaining gift money. The two bags on the ground are corn, each bag is 25 kilograms. I have weighed them at home, and you can weigh them again."
Old man Shen took the money happily and took the brown sugar aside: "Why are you still weighing it? I definitely trust you. From now on, we are a family. If you come over again, you have to call me grandpa, haha."
Zhao Changgui also laughed foolishly, and actually called out, "Master."
"Okay, okay, okay, second daughter-in-law, go and get your eldest sister-in-law to prepare dinner. We'll eat early today."
Old man Shen was very happy after receiving all the betrothal gifts. He handed the key to Li Xiang and asked her to cook quickly.
Li Xiang smiled and nodded: "Hey, I'll go right away."
Li Xiang went to the outer room and saw that neither her sister-in-law nor her daughter were there, so she lifted the curtain of the west room.
As a result, Hongmei was seen lying on the kang crying, and her sister-in-law was sitting on the edge of the kang with a sad face and sighing.
"This...what's going on?" Li Xiang asked in confusion.
Wang Huilian got angry when she looked up and saw her sister-in-law. The mother and daughter were really bad luck to her. She wanted to scold them, but then she remembered that there were guests in the east room, so she had to suppress her resentment.
"Nothing, Hongmei is not feeling well, don't worry about her. What are you doing here?"
