Chapter 116

Mo Qianrui really worried too much about this matter.

When they came back from the stall in the evening, grandma was already at home, and as soon as she saw daddy, she said, "Dashanzi, when I was delivering food to Ershanzi, I saw an old man sweeping the slope in their private school. Or some kind of relative of the Shen family, the mother-in-law has long since disappeared, and only one girl was married last year. From what I can see, that old man on the slope is quite suitable for your little girl."

Mo Qianrui suddenly had a mouthful of blood choked in his throat, and remained silent for a while.

Fortunately, Grandma never looked at her from the beginning to the end, and those words were only spoken to Father.

"Ah, this matter...is it too hasty? How old is the old man at the foot of the slope? What's the situation at home?"

Grandma asked Grandma and Mo Qianrui to move all the things for the stall into the room first, and then walked to Grandma under the eaves with a confused face.

In fact, he intended to object, after all, she was his own sister.But due to Ah Nai's usual suppression, he didn't have the guts to compete with Ah Nai.I can only choose to ask about the situation in a more tactful way, and see if I can persuade Grandma to change her mind.

"Who cares how old he is? The girl in his family got married after Jiji last year, and he is about 37 or [-] years old. Anyway, I looked at it, and it should not be over [-]. The family situation... It's okay, I said yes A relative of the Shen family."

Grandma answered casually, and when Mo Qianrui passed by her, she reached out and took away the leftover cold rice and side dishes from the stall, and squatted under the eaves to eat.

"Aniang, this is related to the whole life of the little girl, so you should do your best. By the way, where is the little girl?"

"Hey, I let her rest in the shed." Grandma raised her chin slightly, and pointed her mouth at the shed in the corner of the yard.

The so-called shed was built by my father in the yard when Mo Qianrui and my little aunt had the most quarrel, after my mother drove my father out of the room.

The shed is very simple, with two sides next to the courtyard wall, it is not bad.On the other two sides, a few boards were loosely erected, and some dry straw and wheat stalks were covered on the top.

In Dad's words, although it is exposed to the wind, there is no need to worry about the roof collapsing.Even if it really collapsed, these flimsy things would not be able to kill anyone.

"How do people live there?" Dad is an honest person, and he is the only one in his family who has lived in that shed. "Little sister, can you be happy?"

The weather is a bit cold now, the ground is wet at night, and mosquitoes and the like are still rampant.

Living in that shed, you can't sleep peacefully all night!

"Tsk, what does it matter to me whether she likes it or not? If she doesn't like it, she'll die! No one wants her to stay here."

Dad was silent, he finally realized that reasoning with Grandma would be a waste of time.After thinking about it for a while, he let it go.Left and right are Grandma's own daughter, not his daughter, even if he argues here, he might end up complaining.

Thinking of this, Father simply put his hand away, told Grandma to rest early, washed up by himself, and went back to the house.

Seeing that Father and Grandma did not have any dispute, Mo Qianrui breathed a sigh of relief.

Touching her conscience, she was really afraid that her father and grandma would quarrel.Grandma's skill is really not something that Father can resist. If the two of them really quarreled, Mo Qianrui and his family of four might not be able to match Grandma's strength even if they fought together.

If it's really for the most important things, it's fine, for my little aunt...

Stop messing around, okay?

Fortunately, Dad had the same thoughts as her, and he put the matter aside after only a few words.

Seeing that the situation had calmed down, Mo Qianrui helped Erya wash up briefly, and soaked the dishes and chopsticks left over from Grandma's meal in a wooden basin filled with water, preparing to wash them up tomorrow. .

After the small courtyard became quiet again, a head slowly poked out from the shed that had been silent all this time, and it was none other than my little aunt.

Afterwards, the little aunt moved to the eaves at an extremely slow speed.

Her goal was the big wooden basin that Mo Qianrui usually used to wash dishes.

In addition to the bowls and chopsticks that Grandma used before, there were other utensils that Mo Qianrui used when he left the stall in the wooden basin.Because it was late every time he came back from the stall, Mo Qianrui always habitually put the kitchen utensils and tableware aside, and slowly cleaned them after dawn tomorrow.

Among the kitchen utensils to be washed are dishes, pots and spoons, and a few jars.

The bowls and plates are used to set aside various side dishes. In addition to making omelet rice and rice bowls, there is also a large pot that is used to hold the pre-made flour and egg white batter, and it is also used to fry skewers. small pot.The jars are filled with peanut oil and various sauces, and usually one will be emptied every three or two days.

The remaining side dishes and cold rice were eaten by Grandma, and the remaining fried skewers were eaten by Mo Qianrui and the others when the stall was about to close. It was just a supper.

Therefore, there is really nothing left today.

The little aunt squatted down next to the big wooden basin, and reached out to pick up one of the pots, which was filled with flour and egg whites.The paste was very viscous, and even though there were scratches around it, there were still a lot of corners left.

Use your fingers to pick out the paste bit by bit. Although the little aunt's movements are extremely light, the speed is not slow at all.

Soon, the whole pot was as if it had been licked by a cat, and there was not even a little bit of residue left.

After eating all the mush, the little aunt's stomach was still panicked with hunger.Speaking of which, she hadn't eaten or slept well for several days.Previously in Luluo Town, Hao Lai could still get half a bowl of food, but after coming to Mingyue Town, there was really not a single drop of rice.

Then she reached out and took out all the various bowls and dishes from the big wooden basin one by one, no matter if it was side dishes or sauces, as long as it was edible, she would stuff it into her mouth.

She didn't return to the shed reluctantly until the last bit of edible food fell down.

Lying on the broken straw in the shed, stroking her stomach that was not full at all, listening to the buzzing mosquitoes around her, she couldn't fall asleep at all.

Consciousness returned to what Grandma said before, is it true that she is really required to marry an old man who is nearly forty years old?Or an old man with a dead wife, a married daughter, and a lost leg?
The little aunt didn't know the significance of the Shen family in Mingyue Town, and she had never even heard of the Shen family's name.Even the Qiao family, if Li Jialiniang hadn't married, maybe she wouldn't even know about the Qiao family.

Therefore, Grandma's statement that she is a relative of the Shen family is nothing to her, and now all her thoughts are focused on the old man's various shortcomings.

Thinking about it, I couldn't help feeling resentful again.

Naturally, she has nothing to do with Grandma, she can only hope that she will have a good fight after Grandma leaves home early in the morning.

It's a good idea, but unfortunately the facts don't work.

Ah** left home every day to deliver food to his little uncle, but there was no need to leave home afterwards.

Thinking about it, the daily life of Mo's family is very regular. After waking up, eat breakfast first, then father goes to work in Wanlong cloth village, mother goes to Caishikou to buy vegetables, and Mo Qianrui takes Erya to Li's house.

At first, Grandma also thought about letting Erya stay. Anyway, she stays at home and is not tired of taking care of the children.In the end, Mo Qianrui dismissed Erya on the grounds that Erya could have a snack at Li's house.

To be honest, Mo Qianrui was worried about leaving Erya at home.

It wasn't that she was afraid that grandma would mistreat Erya, but because she was mistaken by a single eye, and the little aunt would attack Erya.After all, the little aunt is a person with a criminal record. If she can attack her eldest niece, it is normal to attack the younger niece.

As a result, only grandma and little aunt were left in the family.

To put it bluntly, grandma and little aunt, mother and daughter, are not good people, but when they are together, it is rare for them to be able to keep quiet.Especially the little aunt, who stayed in the shed without saying a word all day long. Occasionally, Grandma would gather up the leftovers, put them in a big bowl with a hole in it, and push them to the mouth of the shed.

An Sheng's life has passed for almost half a month, just when Mo Qianrui thought that such a life would last forever, a matchmaker came to his door.

It was actually the old man who was cleaning in Shen's private school that Grandma had said called.

Although this marriage seems inappropriate, it cannot hold back your love and my wish.

Even though Father was slightly dissatisfied, and Little Auntie also had a long face, but neither of them had the guts to fight Grandma, so the marriage was settled smoothly.

A few days later, the old man sent someone to deliver the dowry.

When the betrothal gift was delivered, it was just before noon, and Mo Qianrui and A Niang were at home, so naturally Grandma and little aunt were also there.

The dowry gift was not heavy, it was mainly two boxes of cakes and two bolts of the cheapest linen, and another one hundred coins.

This kind of betrothal gift is not to mention placed in Mingyue Town, even in Yangliu Village, it is a bit thin.

However, Grandma seemed to have known it for a long time. After the dowry was delivered, she accepted it without even looking at it carefully.After the betrothal presenter left for a while, Grandma called Grandma to her very seriously.

"I know that the little girl has done a lot of wrong things in the past and caused you troubles a lot. However, since I have arranged a marriage for her, the betrothal gift must be given to her as a dowry."

At first, A Niang thought she had accidentally provoked Grandma, and she looked uneasy, but she let out a sigh of relief when she heard this.

Immediately, she expressed her determination in a hurry: "Don't worry, Ma'am, we will never be greedy for little sister Mo's dowry."

"Sure, that's what I want. Besides, our family won't pay a penny for this dowry. But if we don't add anything to it, it will appear that our family has no manners."

"What do you mean, Ma'am?"

"The big girl's craftsmanship is not bad. I thought, let the big girl make a few pastries and treat it as a dowry."

As soon as Grandma's voice fell, Mo Qianrui hurriedly said loudly before Grandma could speak: "Okay, isn't it just a few cakes? I will definitely make beautiful and delicious cakes."

As long as the little aunt can be married off, let alone a few pastries, even if Mo Qianrui pays her back, she will be happy in her heart.

"Hmph, I don't expect it to be good-looking and delicious, just pick a few pastries that don't cost you food!"

Mo Qianrui choked for a moment, and immediately nodded.

The sky is big and the earth is big, but grandma is the biggest.

If it weren't for the conditions, she really wanted to get a bag of popcorn for her little aunt to marry.Isn't this popcorn the least expensive food?
