Chapter 22: The done deal (1)

Li Youcai said unhurriedly: "The big dog is not young anymore, but Taozi is young. She is only nineteen years old this year. At this age, she can't even get a marriage certificate."

Yang Shengguo smiled and said: "Uncle, what kind of society have you come to? Why are you still so old-fashioned? Let's organize the wedding banquet first. Later, when you reach the age, you can apply for a marriage certificate. It's better to have a baby. Even the baby's

I also registered my household registration together, what a great thing."

When encountering major events, Zhu Gaixia stopped saying anything and watched Yang Shengguo and Li Youcai talking.

Li Youcai said in embarrassment: "But Taozi is small, so I'm afraid she will suffer a loss."

Yang Shengguo smiled and said: "Uncle, now this kid eats well and drinks well, and is exposed to many things. Although he is eighteen or nineteen years old, he is already in his twenties. Look at Tao Zi, that figure, who is

Can she be regarded as a nineteen-year-old girl? To tell you the truth, I was also nineteen when I got married, and I am still not here?"

Li Youcai smiled and said: "If you don't wait two years, I will allow them to get married in two years."

When Yang Shengguo saw that Li Youcai couldn't be moved, he became anxious and said, "Uncle, we still have to wait two years? You don't know what will happen in these two years? Yesterday, Taozi went to see me and said that she fell in love with Er.

Dog, I was forced to go to Big Dog’s family and say, well, look at this baby now, isn’t it worrying?”

Li Youcai got angry and said, "This is outrageous. Where is the Taozi man? Find her."

Zhu Gaixia said: "She went to Erniu's house. Forget it, stop fooling around with her."

Yang Shengguo said: "Uncle, think about it carefully. Your peach can wait, but your big dog can't wait. If you don't agree to get married, something bad will happen in the future, and it won't be the loss of the whole family."

Li Youcai stood up and said: "His sister-in-law, you go back first. I know about this. When I think about it, I will ask your aunt to find you."

Yang Shengguo had no choice but to go back to Taohuagou first.

Li Youcai sat there and was angry with Taozi. He kept banging his pipe on the Kang railing and said, "Look, this is the woman you want. I've thrown everyone into Taohuagou. I'm such an old face."

Where will I put it next?”

Zhu Gaixia said: "Otherwise, just agree to them and let Taozi get married."

Li Youcai said angrily: "Marriage is possible, but I need him to come up with another five hundred yuan."

Zhu Gaixia said in annoyance: "Money, you know how to ask for money. This five hundred yuan is not a small amount. Why do we have the nerve to open our mouths?"

Li Youcai said: "If you don't tell me, I'll tell you."

Zhu Gaixia whispered: "I will love money all my life and be shameless."

Taozi heard about Yang Sheng's coming to the house in the village, so she came back to find out the news, but Yang Shengguo had already left.

"Dad, Mom, I heard Yang Sheng came over, what did she say?"

Li Youcai ignored Taozi with a livid face, Zhu Gaixia was busy doing her own thing, and they didn't say anything when Taozi called them.

Taozi looked at this and that, feeling a little guilty. Taozi said, "What are you doing? What did the matchmaker say?"

"What did you say? She said she wanted you to marry Dagou, but your father didn't agree." Zhu Gaixia said unable to hold back.

Taozi was secretly happy, thinking that her father had changed his mind, and said happily: "That's good, I thought my father was going all the way. Dad, I knew you would feel sorry for your daughter. Do you want to drink tea? I'll give it to you."

You go make a pot of tea."

Li Youcai spoke: "Taozi, don't be too busy making tea. Dad didn't agree to let you marry Dagou because he thought you were too young. But Dagou is pressing hard. I discussed it with your mother. As long as he

If my family gives me another five hundred yuan, I will let you get married."

One sentence made Taozi's heart freeze, and she said angrily: "You know how to ask for money. I won't agree to get married even if I get the money."

Li Youcai got angry at her: "If I say you get married, you have to get married. As long as Big Dog can send the money today, you have to get married tomorrow!"

Taozi wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Zhu Gaixia: "Taozi, don't argue with your dad. When your dad's temper gets down, I have to let go and go back to the room."

Taozi even muttered: "I am mine, I can marry whoever I want."

Li Youcai didn't hear this sentence clearly. If he had, he would definitely lose his temper.

A few days later, Big Dog came back from his work, put down his tool bag, and went to Yang Sheng's house to play. He had been absent-minded while working outside these days, thinking about Tao Zi.

When Da Gou saw Yang Shengguo, he couldn't wait to ask: "Sister-in-law, have you gone to Liujiaping?"

Yang Shengguo said: "I'm going. I don't know what Taozi's parents think. They said Taozi is still young and it will take two years before they consider letting you get married."

The big dog said anxiously: "What? You have to wait two years? My beard will grow in two years. Sister-in-law, why don't you go to Taozi's house again and give them a good talk."

Yang Shengguo said: "Taozi's father loves money. As long as you are willing to spend money, Taozi's father will have an easier time. My sister-in-law reminds you, Taozi has to rely on yourself."

Dagou pondered for a moment: "I'm not afraid of spending money. At worst, I can earn back my money by taking on a few more jobs. What do you think I should do, Taozi?"

Yang Shengguo said: "You still need your sister-in-law to teach you this? Heizi likes Huazi and knows how to be courteous to her. All animals know it, but you, a grown man, don't know that?"

The big dog scratched his head, a little embarrassed: "This, I'm not very good at this."

Yang Shengguo was a little anxious: "You don't know how to make cooked rice from raw rice? You are really stupid if you say you are stupid."

Now the big dog was even more confused and said: "Sister-in-law, my mother usually cooks, how can I cook?"

Yang Shengguo became angry now and said: "Are you really confused or are you pretending to be confused? You don't understand anything about men and women. Okay, my sister-in-law will tell you this, and you can do the rest by yourself.

Just think about it slowly."

Dagou finally figured it out and understood the method that Yang Shengguo taught him. Regardless of whether this method is effective or not, he must give it a try. Thinking that he will be with Taozi, he is still very excited.

Big Dog made a special trip to the town, pulled some clothes off for Taozi and Taozi's parents, and then went to Liujiaping. Big Dog had a clever mind, and he waited until it was almost dark before leaving Taohuagou.

He thought that it would be completely dark when he arrived at Liujiaping. If he was lucky, he could stay at Taozi's house overnight, and maybe he could use Taozi's raw rice to make cooked rice for himself.

Dagou arrived at Taozi's house and took out the fabric he bought. Except for Taozi, Taozi's parents were very enthusiastic about Dagou. Zhu Gaixia used the cloth to mark herself, and then cooked some poached eggs for Dagou.

Da Gou and Li Youcai sat on the fire bed, chatting. Da Gou filled Li Youcai's pipe with a pot of tobacco leaves, handed it to him respectfully, and lit a fire for him.

In the end, the two of them talked about Da Gou and Tao Zi's marriage.

Li Youcai said: "Big dog, you know it's not easy for me to raise a woman. She has raised her from 1 foot 5 inches to now. She has food, drink and clothing. Doesn't that cost me money?"

The big dog said: "Dad, as long as you promise me to marry Taozi, I will give you the money you want."

Li Youcai smiled and said: "With your words, I feel relieved. If you want to get married, I won't stop you. Just come up with another five hundred yuan."

Dagou didn't say anything for a long time. This five hundred yuan is not a small amount, and it is not easy to get it out in a short while. The last time he raised the gift money of one thousand yuan, he used up all the family's money.

The village has borrowed several houses.

Li Youcai looked at his face and said, "You haven't, right? If not, then don't say this."
