Chapter 270 Zhao Lin's Anxiety
Everyone was talking and laughing together,
Suddenly, I saw my third aunt coming out.
He also greeted Song's mother politely: "Xiaoyan is back."
Song's mother nodded: "Yes, Third Sister-in-law."
Shen Xia looked at her third aunt and felt that her spirit and energy were different!
Because there are many people in the yard.
So they split into several groups, Song's mother chatted with grandmother, and several men chatted together.
The three aunts went to cook.
Zhao Xue, Zhao Xin and Shen Xia went to Zhao Xue's room to chat.
Shen Xia looked at the original simple beds, which were all replaced with large bunk beds, and there was a kang underneath.
Zhao Xue immediately explained: "Dad saw the kang over there and thought it was practical and didn't take up much space, so before it snowed, he changed the bed into a kang."
"Yeah, sure. This will make the winter a little easier."
Zhao Xin smiled and said, "Not only that, my uncle, my father, my third uncle and my brothers helped the villagers build kangs, and they made a lot of money at the end of the year! The family also bought an ox cart."
Shen Xia smiled with satisfaction and said, "Not bad, my uncles are really smart."
"It's okay. Isn't this all thanks to you, my cousin?" Zhao Xue said modestly.
"No, the master brought me in, and then I practiced and saw how I was. By the way, what's going on with my third aunt? Why do I feel like she has changed?" Shen Xia asked curiously.
Zhao Xue smiled and said, "This? It happened before the New Year. My uncle asked her to take out the money, but my aunt couldn't take out a penny. She gave it all to the Qian family. My uncle got angry and beat her, so she went back to her parents' home."
"Uncle San was also heartbroken, so he was determined not to go pick her up. In the past, when Aunt San went back to her parents' home in anger, Uncle San would rush to pick her up, but this time he was really determined."
"In the end, she stayed at her mother's house for a month and came back in disgrace. She never mentioned her mother's house again. She originally said that she would marry her niece to her son, but she never asked for it again. She has been much more content now."
After hearing this, Shen Xia thought that it might be because she had no money to give to her parents' home, and she was fired after living there for a month.
Not finished thinking yet.
Zhao Xin whispered, "I heard from others later that after Third Aunt returned to her parents' home, she washed clothes and cooked every day, and was forced by her sister-in-law to eat for free, and she didn't even get paid. Life was okay in the first few days, but it was miserable in the end. Now, she has returned in disgrace. When has she ever done so much work in the Zhao family? She was lazy even when cooking, and sometimes her cousin had to do the laundry."
"Oh, I see! But if this can help her see her parents' home more clearly and live a good life, it will also be a good experience." Shen Xia said.
Zhao Xue said, "That's right! Later, my third uncle also raised silkworms with my father twice, earning four times, about ten taels of silver. My third aunt knew that he had money, so she didn't ask my third uncle for it. Of course, my third uncle wouldn't give it to her. My third brother and I are the same age, fifteen years old, and I'm afraid that she will give him to her parents' home again, which would make it difficult for my third brother to get married."
"Fifteen is too early to get married. Seventeen or eighteen is not too late. A man should have a career first. Everything will be easy to talk about once he has a successful career," Shen Xia expressed his thoughts.
Zhao Xue nodded: "Yes, recently! The threshold of our house has been trampled by matchmakers."
Zhao Xin smiled and said, "It's because my sister has a good job."
Zhao Xue pinched Zhao Xin lightly: "Speaking of me, you are the same."
This shocked Shen Xia.
How old is Zhao Xincai?
Zhao Xin blushed: "I'm still young, there's no rush."
Zhao Xue looked at Shen Xia in surprise, and then explained: "Isn't it because your family has been vigorously developing? The surrounding villages all know about the situation, and there are many people of marriageable age in your family, so there are people coming to propose marriage every day."
"If grandma hadn't spread the word that the Zhao family's children wouldn't get married until they were 18, I'm afraid there would be people in the family who are looking for marriages today. For someone as young as Xin'er, it's fine to get engaged first and then get married when they're old enough."
Shen Xia couldn't help but shake his head after hearing this. It was too exaggerated.
But he also said: "Indeed, it is better to get married at 17 or 18. Don't follow my example. I was pregnant and had no choice but to get married first. It would be less dangerous to get married and have children later."
Zhao Xin nodded: "Well, I'll listen to my cousin's wife."
Therefore, in that era, people would consider benefits first when getting married, and they would grab any outstanding person as soon as possible for fear of missing out.
After chatting for a long time, we had lunch together at two tables.
Because my uncle and his family would definitely drink, and my eldest brother wasn't there, only my second and third brothers could accompany them.
Song Yun seemed to have drunk a little, so Shen Xia sat at a table with a few younger people.
They were too talkative when drinking.
It’s a bit more free to sit at the same table with the children.
It turned out that grandma was going to take Shen Xia to sit at the main table.
Later, Song Jin refused on her behalf, saying that Xia Xia would be better off chatting with Zhao Xue and Zhao Xin.
In fact, it is much more convenient to sit with people of the same age. There is no need to be polite or fussy, and everyone can be casual.
When eating,
Then Song Jin said, "Uncle, I plan to go out after the New Year. I wonder if you two brothers want to come with me."
Zhao Yuan from my eldest uncle’s family was seventeen years old and will be eighteen today. Zhao Yun from my second uncle’s family is seventeen years old this year, and Song Jin is also seventeen years old today.
But Song Jin was born in May, a little younger than both of them.
Normally, Shen Xia would follow Song Jiang in calling his cousin.
The two uncles were surprised when they heard this, and they really didn't hesitate at all: "Sure!"
The two aunts also stopped eating in surprise.
I was happy that my daughter had a stable job. It would be great if my son also had a bright future. I didn't expect it to happen.
I am really grateful in my heart!
As long as I can work with my aunt's family, no matter what I do, I will at least have hope.
Although raising silkworms can also make money, it is better for me to just raise them at home. I still hope that my son can go out and make a living.
At this time, the third room was quiet and no one spoke, because Song Jin had only mentioned the first and second rooms, but not the third room.
Zhao Lin from the third room was at Shen Xia's table.
He clenched the chopsticks in his hand, wondering whether he should speak. He knew that before, it was because his father and mother did not have a good relationship with his aunt's family, but in the end, his mother also changed.
I guess he won't mess around again!
Zhao Lin thought that if he didn’t seize the opportunity this time, he would be even further behind his two brothers in the future.
Do I have to stay at home and raise silkworms with my parents for the rest of my life?
He hesitated for a long time.
Zhao Lin stood up and looked at Song Jin: "Third cousin, can I come with you? I don't need to be paid. When I learn it and have the ability, you can pay me. If I don't do well, you don't need me. Can you give me a chance?"
Zhao Lin finished speaking with a red face.
Shen Xia happened to be sitting opposite him, and of course she could feel his nervousness.
But I didn't expect that he, who is not very old, would actually say such words.
It looks good.
Everyone looked at Song Jin quietly.
See how he responds.
My third uncle and aunt were actually very nervous as they had not laid a good foundation for the child and now wanted him to speak for himself. They felt guilty towards the child.
For grandparents, they are all their grandchildren and of course they hope that each of them will have a bright future.
Song Jin glanced at Zhao Lin and raised his lips: "Okay! Come to me on the morning of the eighth day of the new year and we'll go out together."
Zhao Lin listened to his third cousin's words, and finally put his uneasy heart at ease. He said excitedly, "Okay, thank you, cousin, thank you, cousin's wife, and thank you, aunt."
