Chapter 11 Grandpa Locust Tree
What a joke, how can a father-in-law find a home for his daughter-in-law in this world?
Zhang Cheng is a well-known honest man in the village. He has been cautious in his words and deeds all his life. What happened today? He said such earth-shattering words?
"Xiaobai, your uncle is a farmer. He has never seen the world, so he is not very good at talking." Zhang Cheng sat down again, with a look of loneliness on his face, and said, "But uncle is straightforward, he can't tell nonsense, let alone talk nonsense." Will beat around the bush."

Jiang Xiaobai became more and more confused, and said, "Uncle, tell me."

"When your parents were alive, the relationship between our two families was the best. Once, your father and I were drinking and joking, saying that if the two families had children, and if they were a boy and a girl, they would marry each other." Recalling the past , Zhang Cheng showed a long-lost smile on his face, and said: "Unfortunately, this wish has not been fulfilled. Both of us are sons."

And this kind of thing?

There was a burst of sadness in Jiang Xiaobai's heart.

When Jiang Xiaobai was in high school, both his parents died in a car accident, and he suddenly became an orphan. If Zhang Cheng hadn't helped Jiang Xiaobai from time to time, and tried every means to send Jiang Xiaobai to join the army, Jiang Xiaobai would probably be an orphan. Now there is a possibility of becoming a homeless person.

Zhang Cheng sighed, and said, "You know, I have always treated you as a son."

"I know." Jiang Xiaobai's eye circles turned red.

Zhang Cheng continued: "Xiaobao is like a brother to you."

"We had the best relationship when we were in school. Together, we were invincible all over the school." Jiang Xiaobai smiled, but when he thought of Zhang Xiaobao who had passed away, his heart felt a little sour.

"When you were young, you worked mud together, caught cicada monkeys together, and even changed your clothes." Zhang Cheng paused, and said, "Xiaobao's things are yours. Your things are also Xiaobao's." s things."

Jiang Xiaobai nodded. In a sense, this sentence is correct. He and Zhang Xiaobao are really good brothers who share blessings and share hardships.

Zhang Cheng continued: "Therefore, Xiaobao's home is your home!"

"This..." Jiang Xiaobai was confused.

Zhang Cheng said: "Xiaobao is gone, his wife should also become your wife!"

"Ah!" Jiang Xiaobai almost jumped up.

What kind of logic is this? Things can be indistinguishable from each other, how can wives share them?

"Don't express your opinion in a hurry, I'll ask you a few questions first." Zhang Cheng was calm like never before, and asked, "Is Yuzhu beautiful?"

With such a question, Jiang Xiaobai could only nod in agreement.

Not to mention Jiang Xiaobai, even people from ten miles and eight villages all admit that Chen Yuzhu is one of the best beauties in a hundred.

"How about Yuzhu's character?" Zhang Cheng continued to ask, "I mean, is she the kind of nonchalant coquettish person?"

"Absolutely not." If Chen Yuzhu was a coquettish woman, then there would not be many good women in the whole Jiang family camp.

"A decent woman, a beautiful woman, and a filial woman, where can I find such a good woman?" Zhang Cheng said: "You will not lose if such a woman marries you!"

"But... Yuzhu is my sister-in-law!" Jiang Xiaobai was sweating profusely.

"Because she is Xiaobao's daughter-in-law, I can't hand her over to a man I don't know." Zhang Cheng stood up again and said, "I watched you grow up, your character I admit it, I can rest assured that I will hand over the jade beads to you!"

Jiang Xiaobai really couldn't describe his mood at the moment. He admitted that he recognized Chen Yuzhu very much, or that he once envied Zhang Xiaobao for marrying such a beautiful wife.

But respect is one thing, from the bottom of his heart, Zhang Xiaobao never thought of taking Zhang Xiaobao's place.

"You must dislike Yuzhu's second marriage. But you should be more aware that Xiaobao passed away on the day of the wedding, and Yuzhu is still a big girl." Zhang Cheng was also very excited, and there was a trace of awe in his eyes. gas.

Jiang Xiaobai knew very well that Zhang Cheng had made a lot of determination to say this. If he refused directly, this honest man would be very hurt in his heart.

But it was hard for Jiang Xiaobai to agree to marry Chen Yuzhu as his wife.

"My child, Yuzhu, these years have been hard!" Zhang Cheng's eyes turned red suddenly, and he said, "She became a widow just after passing through the door. It was our Zhang family who harmed her."

Jiang Xiaobai sighed, and said, "Xiaobao has a heart attack, why hasn't he been checked?"

"It goes without saying that everyone is dead. However, our Zhang family can delay Yuzhu for two years, but we can't delay Yuzhu for a lifetime!" Zhang Cheng said: "Even if you haven't seen it in the past two years, you should have heard it." Right? How many people are trying to get her ideas, some of them are bastards like Cao Dazhuang, but there are also many young and promising guys, but Yuzhu refuses to agree."

This is also a question that puzzles Jiang Xiaobai. Logically speaking, even if Chen Yuzhu and Zhang Xiaobao have a good relationship, they will not never marry?
"I'm an open-minded person, and I've tried to persuade Yuzhu, but every time I said something like this, Yuzhu categorically disagreed." Zhang Cheng's gaze softened suddenly, and he stared at Jiang Xiaobai and said, "But Last night, after you left, Yuzhu and I had a good talk."

Jiang Xiaobai suddenly became nervous, widow Chen must not tell about her hiding in the closet!

Zhang Cheng said: "I asked her, if she married you, would she be willing?"

"What did she say?" Jiang Xiaobai became even more nervous. Could it be that the widow Chen had already expressed her opinion, and Zhang Cheng came here to say it?
Zhang Cheng said: "She didn't agree, but she didn't object, she just lowered her head. I can see that she has you in her heart. At least, she doesn't reject you."

It's broken, the situation is about to suffer!
Jiang Xiaobai said quickly: "Maybe... Maybe she's too embarrassed to refuse."

"Isn't it? Only you know it in your heart. I can't understand the thoughts of you young people more and more." Zhang Cheng sighed and said, "Uncle knows that it will be difficult for you to marry a widow, and uncle doesn't want you to answer immediately. Think about it carefully, and give me an answer in three to five days."

Jiang Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief. Time is the best excuse. If he doesn't take the initiative to express his opinion when the time comes, Zhang Cheng will naturally not come looking for it again.

Did not get the expected result, Zhang Cheng was a little lonely, poured the beans in the wicker basket on the ground, walked to the door, looked at the courtyard wall in the northwest direction, and sighed: "If the big locust tree is still there, I don't need to use it." I'm so worried. Bye bye Grandpa Huaishu, all problems will be solved."

"What big locust tree?" Jiang Xiaobai's heart trembled, because he felt that Zhang Chengwang's position was a bit special.

"You young people don't know that in the 60s, just outside your courtyard wall, seven or eight meters to the west, there was a big pagoda tree!" Zhang Cheng said: "That is a thousand-year-old sacred tree, which cannot be hugged by seven or eight people. Come, bless Jiangjiaying with good weather and good weather for hundreds of years. All the villagers ask Grandpa Huaishu for help, and it is very effective.”

"You said... there used to be a big locust tree at that location?" Jiang Xiaobai looked to the north and asked excitedly, "Is there still a locust tree slope?"

"You also know this allusion?" This time, it was Zhang Cheng's turn to be surprised.
