Chapter 642: There are too many grandchildren, but not enough to share
Su Laosan was carrying a large bag, and Su San's wife was carrying a small bag.
The couple hurried back to their room.
As soon as Su Laosan entered the house, he threw his bag aside and hugged his wife directly.
"Wife, I'm sorry for having troubled you these years." Su Laosan said apologetically.
"My husband, you've been the one who's worked so hard these past few years," Third Sister Su said distressedly, "You've been going through wind and rain, and you've never had a proper rest..."
"I'm not tired, I just miss you..."
As Su Lao San said this, he lowered his head and accurately blocked Su San's wife's mouth...
**
The women in the yard teased Su Laosan and his wife, and then turned their attention to Su Laowu.
However, now that I see Su Laowu, I truly feel that my daughter (niece, relative's daughter) is indeed not worthy of him.
The scholar who used to be a little immature is now so brilliant that it makes people feel ashamed of themselves.
Although their own daughters (nieces, relatives' daughters) are not worthy of him, it does not prevent them from gossiping about Su Laowu's marriage.
"Sister Su, how is your fifth son's marriage going?" someone asked.
"Sister Su, your family isn't overly picky, is it?" someone asked doubtfully, "In our village, young men as old as Lao Wu already have two or three children."
"Sister Su, Lao Wu is going to the provincial capital this time, right? Could it be that Fu Ya's godmother is arranging a marriage for Lao Wu in the provincial capital?" someone speculated.
Eighth Aunt has been a matchmaker for many years and has performed outstandingly, but she suffered a setback in the Su family.
At this moment, after hearing what people said, his eyes flashed and he said, "Could it be the daughter of the prefectural governor?"
As soon as the Eighth Aunt finished speaking, everyone's eyes lit up.
In the past few years, Xia Siya has lived in the Su family most of the time.
Close to the water!
No one would be surprised if it was said that the Su and Xia families were getting married.
A trace of anger appeared on Old Mrs. Su's face.
"Eighth Aunt, you can't say that! It concerns the reputation of a young lady!" Old Madam Su said in a cold voice, "The fifth child has always treated Siya as his own sister, and Siya has treated the fifth child as her own brother. The two children are brother and sister!"
When Eighth Aunt saw that Old Lady Su was angry, her expression became a little embarrassed.
"Niece-in-law, I just said it casually, don't take it to heart." Eighth aunt said quickly.
After hearing this, Mrs. Su could no longer keep a stern face.
But in my heart, I sighed.
If Tang Bao could see it, how could Old Lady Su not see it?
At the beginning, Mrs. Xia wanted to marry Xia Siya to Su Xiaoliu, and Old Lady Su had already seen through it.
However, after Su Xiaoliu joined the army, Mrs. Xia was afraid that she would not want her daughter to marry and go to the border to suffer, so she gave up the idea.
Old Mrs. Su naturally noticed this.
Speaking of which, Old Mrs. Su still likes Xia Siya very much.
If the two families really get married, Old Lady Su would be happy to see it happen.
Unfortunately, the two children were not destined to be together.
"Milk! Candied fruit!"
"Granny! The candied fruit Uncle Wu gave me..."
Following a series of childish cries, a bunch of little kids from the Su family ran over, holding the candied fruits given by Su Laowu.
Old Mrs. Su was surrounded by a group of grandchildren, and a smile appeared on her face involuntarily.
The little kids, holding candied fruits in their little hands, stood on tiptoe and tried to stuff them into Old Lady Su's mouth.
"If you don't want milk, you can eat it yourself." said Mrs. Su.
Someone said with envy, "Look at these children, all of them are strong and healthy, and all of them are filial and obedient. Sister Su is really lucky to have so many children and grandchildren..."
"That's right! If we talk about the luckiest person in our village, it's still Sister Su." Someone echoed, "Sister Su, I don't want your fifth son anymore. Look at your grandsons. Can you find a grandson-in-law for my family?"
As soon as this voice fell, it was like stirring up a hornet's nest.
Whether it was people picking vegetables in the yard, washing vegetables, cutting meat, fetching water, or lighting the fire...
Everyone's minds became active.
"Sister-in-law Su, there's also my family! Sister-in-law Su, you can choose any of my granddaughters!"
"Sister-in-law Su, I think Shiwa and my Erniu are the same age, so they're a good match..."
"Xiao Shiyi and my niece Zhaodi are only one month apart..."
"The fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth kids and my granddaughter are about the same age..."
"Wu Wa, Grandma Zhang wants to find you a wife, okay?"
"Sixth child, your aunt is looking for a wife for you..."
"Qi Wa, let your sister Gui Hua be your wife, okay?"
"Bawa, do you like your sister Chunyan?"
Five, six, seven, eight kids: "..."
Knowing what his wife meant, his little face turned red with embarrassment.
Although, Ba Wa’s face is too dark to show any redness.
However, the shy expression on the little face is also very cute.
"Milk?"
Five, six, seven, or eight kids looked up at the same time, their little faces blushing, and they looked at Old Lady Su with a hint of expectation in their big eyes.
Having a young wife... seems to be pretty good...
As for the younger ones, they were completely confused.
After all, he couldn't even speak fully, and he didn't even know what a wife was.
Tang Bao happened to walk over and couldn't help but touch her forehead when she saw this.
Do I have to book these little nephews now?
Old Mrs. Su was at a loss for words and said, "They are still young. What do they know? Everyone, please stop teasing them."
"What's wrong with being small? It won't prevent us from settling the marriage first." The village chief's wife spoke first.
In recent years, her family has added two more granddaughters.
I’m afraid my grandson won’t be able to get close to Fu Ya.
These grandsons of the Su family, we have to snatch one away from them no matter what, right?
In the past, she hoped that her daughters-in-law would give birth to sons. However, since she saw that the Su family had more and more grandchildren, the village chief's wife changed her mind.
If I give birth to a granddaughter and marry her into the Su family, wouldn’t that be better than giving birth to a grandson?
As soon as the village head's wife finished speaking, someone immediately spoke up to agree.
"What the village chief's sister-in-law said is true! There are many people who arrange marriages for their children from infancy, so what's wrong with us arranging a marriage for them? While the child is still young, we can arrange the marriage early and grow up together..."
"That's right. I heard that wealthy families pay attention to these things. They call them 'green horses'..."
"They're called childhood sweethearts..."
"Yes, yes! They are childhood sweethearts..."
Everyone was talking at once, looking at Old Lady Su with burning eyes.
Old Mrs. Su, “…”
I feel like my grandchildren have become little lambs.
Old Mrs. Su looked at the group of people whose eyes seemed to be glowing green, and didn't know what to say.
It turns out that grandchildren are so popular that people are worried and anxious.
In the yard, people surrounded Old Mrs. Su, vying for the Su family's grandson.
In Fengqi County, Changsheng, with a weather-beaten face and unshaven beard, rode alone, passing by the Su family's house. He just glanced at the gate, urged his horse past, and headed straight for Daliushu Village.
At the same time, a girl with messy hair and black face paint was standing in front of Wu's tofu pudding shop, drooling.
