Chapter 299 Borrowed

Xiu'er, I think your aunt seems a little unhappy. You look at that face, and it's almost two and a half feet long. We didn't say anything wrong, did we? Didn't you offend her?

When the banquet was over, Han Mingxiu and Huo Jianfeng sent off together (guests), and the loudspeaker lay in Han Mingxiu's ear and said this while Han Mingxiu sent her off.

Han Mingxiu had already seen that the aunt was unhappy. She could think of the reasons for her unhappy thoughts. She must have been unhappy because of the dowry gifts Huo Jianfeng gave her, because Huo Jianfeng was carrying her on her back. I was angry for secretly saving so much money, and I was angry because Huo Jianfeng saved the money and didn’t give it to her, but bought a dowry gift for himself. In addition, she didn’t bring these dowry gifts, and they were all kept at her mother’s house, so this will happen. Aunt Erhuo is not sure what her anger will look like, it's no wonder she is happy!

It's just that these words can't be said loudly to others, they can only say: It's okay, she is in menopause, don't worry about her, it will be fine in a while...

When the loudspeaker heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, Oh, that's good! I thought it was something we said wrong that made people unhappy? It's not surprising that I'm so upset. You said that you offended other people's relatives by sending a kiss, this is a piece of shit...

Why, you're thinking too much. Han Mingxiu comforted and sent the loudspeaker to the carriage back to the village.

The villagers in Sun Aotun were full and satisfied, got into the car and left.

Lin Hongwei drove by himself and didn't take Sun Aotun's carriage. Today, he and Han Mingyu came here. Without children, the couple drove directly from the county town to Xiaodongshantun, and came to Huo's family for a wedding wine.

At this moment, Huo Jianfeng was talking to Lin Hongwei. Lin Hongwei offered to pick them up on the fourth day of the first day, that is, go to Sun Aotun at noon to pick them up, and then send them to the railway station in the county.

In this way, they can go back to the door and get on the bus without fail, and they don't have to suffer in a carriage when entering the county.

Huo Jianfeng himself was not afraid of suffering from the cold, nor was he willing to trouble others, but for the sake of his daughter-in-law, he still accepted the brother-in-law's love and accepted it happily.

On the other side, Han Mingyu took Han Mingxiu's hand, gave her twenty dollars, and whispered, Take it, I don't know what you're missing, so I can only give you some money, when you arrive in the dark. Save over there, buy whatever you want with your own money.

Han Mingxiu knew that the second sister and the second brother-in-law had no money, and the second brother-in-law's monthly salary had to be handed over to his parents. The twenty dollars was not much for her, but for the second sister and the second brother-in-law, it was a huge sum, and it might take a few months to save it.

She didn't want it, but the second sister put the money into her pocket very strongly. Han Mingxiu couldn't refuse, so she had to accept the money...

Han Mingcui didn't leave, she stayed to help wash the dishes and clean up the table. She was afraid that her sister would have to do all the work when she left, so she took the initiative to stay and help...

Before the family and (guests) were gone, the villagers who came to drink wedding wine in Xiaodongshan Village rushed into the warm shed with a hula. They didn't need to organize, they just sat down and waited to drink and eat meat.

They have all seen the banquet just now. The fat meat slices on the big plate, the oily oil shuttle, the trembling jelly, the fragrant eggs, duck eggs and goose eggs. They are all chewy and hard to eat. Such a good seat, can not get a seat!

The guests were all seated, and they had to quickly pack up and prepare for serving.

Several women who came to the Huo family for help hurriedly removed the empty dishes and bowls from the table, cleaned the table and emptied the garbage, and several rolled up their sleeves in the kitchen to wash the dishes and dishes... …

The chef's side is also busy with cooking and stewing rice, and he is very busy for a while.

Uncle Huo and Grandma Huo were busy greeting the guests while watching the progress in the kitchen.

But at this moment, Uncle Huo's little girl ran over to look for Uncle Huo, saying that her mother was looking for him.

Uncle Huo hurried back to the house and saw his daughter-in-law sitting leisurely on the head of the kang, chatting with a few daughters.

It was so busy outside, as if it had nothing to do with her at all.

Seeing her like this, Mr. Huo was angry, but now is not the time to be angry. With her temper, if he dares to tell her this, she will definitely make a scene. On this happy day, he doesn't want to After arguing with her, I had to suppress my spleen and say, What's the matter?

Aunt Huo rolled her eyes: What are you talking about? What are you hiding from me, don't you know?

Uncle Huo said, What am I hiding from you? Can you just say it directly, it's busy outside, let's not guess it's boring?

Aunt Huo said, Okay, just say it directly. Let me ask you, did you and Xiaofeng go to Sun Aotun to deliver the bride price in the first few days?

Hearing this, the expression on Uncle Huo's face suddenly froze.

This... this...

This was done secretly by their grandfather behind her back. How could she know it?

When Aunt Huo saw Uncle Huo's dry stool-like expression, she understood everything. She was so angry that she slapped the table and said loudly, Oh, good you, Huo Hongshan, you really went out to lend money to that little calf to buy a betrothal gift, this is for you to be generous, have you listened to the old lady's words? , Pointing to your nephew to give you a retirement in the future?

Bah, let's go to your Spring and Autumn Dream. People are starting to hide their hearts from you now, and will they be able to support you in the future? Do you really dare to think about it? What's wrong with your mind?

Huo Hongshan hurriedly said, I didn't borrow any money. Really, I didn't borrow a cent. It was all made by Xiaofeng himself.

After he finished speaking, he covered his mouth all of a sudden, regretting that he almost bit his tongue off.

When he said that, didn't he admit in disguise that they did give Xiao Xiu'er a betrothal gift?

Oops, how can this be done? When I get anxious, I go bald and tell the truth.

Uncle Huo rubbed his hands in a hurry, but Aunt Huo didn't bother about this matter, she just looked at him and said, I ask you, where did he get the money? Did he secretly save money behind our backs? Are you a member?

Huo Hongshan quickly shook his head: No, no, Jianfeng is not that kind of person.

Then where do you think he got the money? It's the sewing machine and the radio, and he gave him an extra 100 yuan. It all adds up to 400 or 500 yuan, right? Where did he get it from? Madam Huo asked.

Sister Huo interrupted and said, Could it be that he sold deer antler and deer skins? I heard that some people compared deer antler to one of our three treasures in Northeast China. It's the same price as ginseng mink skin. He hunted it all at once. Two deer, the antlers of those two deer will definitely sell for a lot of money.

Madam Huo is a rural woman with limited knowledge. She only knows that deer antler and deer skin can be sold for money, but she doesn't know how much she can sell, let alone how much she can sell.

Aunt Huo became even more angry when she heard the eldest daughter's words. Isn't that the same as getting her money out under her nose? Is this still great?

Wow, wow, I've raised him for over ten years with food and clothing for him, and I actually raised a white-eyed wolf. I learned to hide my eyes from the two of us, Fengxia, go and take them both. Call me in!

Aunt Huo gave an order, and Fengxia ran out immediately. She wished that Huo Jianfeng and the two were unlucky. When her aunt asked them to come in and clean them up, she had to hurry!

At this moment, Huo Jianfeng and Han Mingxiu were greeting the guests. When they heard Aunt Huo calling them, the couple immediately thought why Aunt Huo called them.

Han Mingxiu shook his head and sighed inwardly.

This person is too greedy. She is not satisfied with Huo Jianfeng's father's pension and the five dollars that Huo Jianfeng gave her every month. She wants to keep all the property for herself. Who does she think she is?

Don't say she's just an aunt, she's Huo Jianfeng's own mother, and Han Mingxiu can't agree if you want to slap them like this!

Han Mingxiu is not bad for money, nor for that little thing. In all honesty, the sewing machine and the radio together are not worth the drop in the space to stock up on the goods, but the second thing is how much is the thing worth, and the main thing is not that much?

You said you were an aunt, why would you dare to open your mouth and want anything?

If she was a kind and benevolent elder who always treated Huo Jianfeng well, what difficulties would she encounter now, Han Mingxiu designated to go all out to help her. Not to mention a sewing machine and a radio, no matter how much she took, she wouldn't blush.

But the problem is - she's not that kind of person. She is selfish and mean, greedy and stingy. She is greedy even for the meat on Huo Jianfeng's wedding banquet, which shows how selfish, greedy, ruthless and indifferent she is.

Such a person does not deserve her respect, nor does she deserve to care about her dowry and her money.

Those betrothal gifts were earned for her by Huo Jianfeng with all his life. The things are priceless, how could she let such a valuable thing be calculated by others?

Jianfeng, let's go in. Han Mingxiu winked at Huo Jianfeng.

Huo Jianfeng understood what she meant and went back to the house with her.

Inside the room, Uncle Huo is anxiously persuading Aunt Huo: Shufen, today is a big day, and it's busy outside. Let's not talk about it first, okay? Let's sit down when everyone is gone. Come down and talk slowly, okay?

Aunt Huo gave him a sideways look, Why didn't you tell me to sit down and talk to me slowly when you were carrying the bride price on your back? I caught it now, and then I remembered to sit down and talk slowly, I told You, it's too late.

Sister Huo pointedly said: Mom, didn't she say that her family had a bicycle? Why didn't you see her pull the bicycle over? What does she mean? People are married to our house, things Why are you still staying with her parents? Since she belongs to our family, this car should also belong to our family. If this car belongs to our family, wouldn't it be convenient for me to come and see you?

Among the five daughters in the family, the eldest looks the most like Aunt Huo, and has a similar temperament. So Aunt Huo has always been very kind to this big girl, and it is precisely because of this that Aunt Huo dares to think about anything.

Huo Erjie has a lot of heart and knows that these things are not like venison and hairtail that can be given to her casually, so she doesn't care about it, she just sits on the kang with the child without a word, and looks like she is watching a good show.

Not too long ago, Han Mingxiu and Huo Jianfeng came in, only to see the aunt sitting at the kang table with her face pulled, as if she was going to ask someone to blame.

Uncle Huo turned around in circles on the ground, like an ant on a hot pot.

Huo Jianfeng already knew what was going on in the room, he didn't break it, he just said with a cold face, Auntie, it's busy outside, what do you have to do with me?

Aunt Huo said coldly, I just wanted to ask you, what dowry gift did you give Xiaoxiu?

Huo Jianfeng said, I sent 100 yuan and two pieces of cloth. Is there a problem?

Aunt Huo hehe, staring at Huo Jianfeng with dead fish eyes, and said, Then why did I hear that you gave her a sewing machine and a radio? Xiaofeng, although I'm not your mother, but I I have supported you for ten years, and the kindness is greater than the kindness, so it's not right for you to hide your heart and eyes with me like this.

Han Mingxiu said, Auntie, you misunderstood, he sent a sewing machine and a radio to my house, but it wasn't for me, he borrowed it to show his face, he has a comrade who manages the warehouse in the county department store. , that sewing machine and that radio were borrowed by his comrades in arms, and we have to give them back when we go back on the fourth day of the fourth day.

Aunt Huo was taken aback, Borrowed?
