Chapter 103: There Are Hundreds of Women Asking(1/2)
Tang Dahai's family started to be busy again in the morning.
In addition, several thatched huts were built, and the stone mill had been moved out of the yard. Tang Dahai's family also officially had a livestock, donkey, male donkey, and a stone mill.
Even so, the staff was still not enough, so I hired Li Shuisheng and Tang Dazhu, and the wages were five cents a day. As for the chicken coop, Chunlan was already thirteen, and Lu did not let her do this job. She only kept it at home, embroidered and cooked vegetables. She also hired Aunt Li’s eldest daughter-in-law to help clean the house and feed the livestock.
Chunlan has made great progress in needlework in the past two years. Although it is incomparable to those who are popular with female red, at least you can see what is embroidered, and your hands are not so easy to pierce. There is no problem with this seam. In recent days, Fang has taught Chunlan to tailor her clothes, which is a must-have at home.
"But someone is at home, I'm so happy. I'm here to report the good news..." A female voice suddenly remembered outside the yard.
The three generations of the Lu family were busy threading needles in the room. Now they could not react when they heard the "report of good news".
"What else can we have to have? Mom, I'll go out and have a look. Chunlan, please help your grandma." Although Fang is two years older, his mental strength is getting better. He makes needles and threads in his spare time and talks nonsense with his old sisters. He laughs louder and louder. In Xia Zhu's words, it is more and more like a countryman, eating meat and joking loudly.
"Here..." Before Lu left the house, he responded loudly and walked to the yard to see. Although he didn't know each other, he looked at him as he was old and dressed up in a colorful manner. He felt that he was probably a matchmaker.
"Is this from Dahai's family? I'm Hua's matchmaker..." Hua's matchmaker took off the red veil hanging on her collar and smiled "hehe".
Mrs. Lu felt a sudden smile. Her family was only Chunlan's age, so she was probably a kiss for Chunlan. I don't know which family they were talking about. Although Chunlan is thirteen, it's not too early. "So it's a matchmaker. Come and ask her to sit in the house. You're all in the house, and you can't hear the sound."
He asked the matchmaker Hua to go to the main hall. Fang happened to leave the house as well. Seeing this outfit, he felt confident. "Go, call your little sister back, you will stay in the house and don't come out."
"I'm so happy... I was your eldest daughter just now, it's really a sign. It's so beautiful. It's probably hard to find a comparable one in the nearby villages. It's such a blessing..." The matchmaker Hua kept saying good things and kept praising Chunlan.
Although Chunlan is now fair and beautiful, with a pair of smart big eyes, she always blinks and looks at you innocently. Whenever Xia Zhu sees Chunlan in such a posture, she can't help but complain, "Oh, this is too good, should she be so innocent? This girl has changed from being thirteen years old?"
Before Xia Zhu entered the yard, she heard exaggerated laughter. Xia Zhu couldn't help but rub her arms. This was too chill. She walked into the main hall slowly, and it seemed like the matchmaker had to dress up. No wonder Chunlan hid in the room.
I only saw the matchmaker Hua twisting her fat butt and sitting on the stool, but it seemed that she couldn't sit steadily. Her mouth was covered with blood-red and was talking hard, and her saliva flew everywhere. The wrinkles at the corners of her eyes had gathered together, and her eyes looked particularly slender.
Xia Zhu took the kettle and added water to the pastry house that Lu had collected. He shouted obediently, "Mother-in-law!" He originally thought about whether he should call him "aunt", but it was really difficult to speak. This was too trampling on his conscience.
"Oh, you're really your little girl. You can tell at such a young age that you've grown up is amazing. You must invite me to kiss you when the time comes!" Hua Matchmaker did not miss any opportunity at all, and even booked a few years later.
Xia Zhu is very self-aware. Chunlan is really so tender and tender. She is really not as good as she can’t beat her. More than once, Xia Zhu felt that her parents were more cautious when they gave birth to their first child, and when it was her turn, they would do whatever they wanted, which led to such a big gap.
After praising the matchmaker, Xia Zhuzhen felt that her eyes had been wrong for so many years. Could it be that she is really beautiful, but she is still young? Or is her aesthetic different? Is she extremely beautiful?
"Cough, cough..." Look, Mrs. Lu couldn't listen anymore, so she said that she was not so beautiful that both the gods complained. "Is there anything wrong with the matchmaker today?"
The matchmaker Hua bit a piece of cake and drank a bowl of water. "You called me a matchmaker, of course I came here to say I'm a kiss. The pastry tastes really good. I bought it from a snack shop in the town, right?" Xia Zhu felt that the matchmaker Hua was a little unemployed, and was originally a matchmaker. She sat there for most of the time, and the key point had not been erased.
Seeing that the matchmaker of Hua's matchmaker would be extremely beautiful after she praised Xia Zhu, Xia Zhu was diligently pouring water over and repaying her. Hua's matchmaker also kept praising Xia Zhu. After filling too much water, Hua's matchmaker couldn't help but go to the thatched cottage.
"Tang Xiazhu! Take it easy, you keep pouring water like this, do you still have to talk about serious things?" Lu said that he would only call Xia Zhu's full name when he could not bear it.
Xia Zhu curled her lips, "Didn't you ask my elder sister to come back and pour tea and water? I'm just polite. Didn't you say that you offend anyone, and you can't offend the matchmaker. Be careful of the matchmaker's mouth..." As old as she grew up, no one was praising her beauty so desperately, and she praised her without any other words. Didn't Xia Zhu just want to understand her beauty and understand her thoroughly.
The matchmaker Hua sat down again and touched her stomach that was already empty. "I have heard that your family is the most kind and polite. Before I could talk about this, I drank a lot of water, which made you laugh. I was not like this in the past, but I just saw that I got along with your family."
When Hua Mama was in the thatched cottage, she completely reflected on her first time. She felt that before she could finish her business, she had already drunk a lot of water and ate a plate of pastries. She was too incompetent to being a matchmaker. She had a great enlightenment.
When I sat down, I looked at a bowl of sugar water and a new plate of pastries. The pastries were replaced with new ones, and I don’t know how they tasted. The plate before was quite good, but it was a bit too sweet. I realized that the main thing is!
"Cough, cough. Cough!" The matchmaker Hua blushed and told her not to look at the right head of the desk. She just turned her head and said to Mrs. Lu. If she couldn't see it, she wouldn't want to eat it again. Restrain and talk about the important things first and then taste it slowly!
"I think you have guessed that it was indeed a kiss for Chunlan. Not to mention Hewan Village, it is close to your home, so you can just walk through a small road and arrive." Hua Matchmaker finally overcomes everything and talks about the serious business.
"Hewan Village... is close, I don't know which one it is?" Lu Shi wanted to go and ask Lao Qiu at that time.
The matchmaker Hua smiled and said, "This person is the eldest son and grandson of Yao. It's not my matchmaker. This boy looks handsome. The rare thing is that he is strong and has a good farming skills. He is also filial and literate... There is nothing in the village who doesn't praise him."
Although the matchmaker could not offend him, he could not believe the matchmaker's words, at least he could not believe them all. The matchmaker made money by just opening his mouth. Fang gave Lu a wink and went to the cottage. Lu took the excuse to go to the cottage.
Xia Zhu watched the Lu family and his daughter exchanged their eyes there, and knew that Lu family was asking Grandpa Qiu for inquiries. Xia Zhu, who had never seen the matchmaker before. He also knew that in what the matchmaker said, he could only believe that the other party was an individual, and everything else was to be evaluated.
The Lü went straight to Shimofang and found Lao Qiu to explain his purpose. "How about the eldest son and grandson of Yao, the eldest son and grandson of Hewan Village?"
"Yao Master's eldest son? Are you talking about his eldest grandson?" Lao Qiu was a little surprised and couldn't help but raise his tone.
Lu nodded, "Well. The matchmaker Hua is still at home, waiting to reply to the letter. See if he wants to see each other. Zhao said that Chunlan is not young anymore, and it is not too early to start paying attention now."
Lao Qiu nodded, thinking about what to say. "Yao everyone has split up, and the eldest son happens to live next door to my house. Yao Da’s eldest grandson is a good man and is willing to endure hardships. However, although filial piety is true, it is just too much to listen to ***, which is a bit..."
Tang Dahai then remembered the next door to Lao Qiu's house, "Uncle, isn't it the original family in your family, the West Head?"
"Do you know too?" Lu didn't expect that Tang Dahai also knew about this family.
"I told you about the first family in the west of the uncle. The last time I went to find the uncle... No, this family is absolutely not good. No matter how good my son is, it is useless. My family is so painful that my daughter cannot marry into such a family. You have never seen how he is making trouble. Go back quickly." Tang Dahai pushed Lu and hurried back quickly.
When Mrs. Lu heard Tang Dahai say this, she greeted her and rushed back quickly. She didn't want her daughter to meet a bad mother-in-law. No matter how good that boy was, she could not beat her mother. She was filial to death. What's more, she was still a filial person.
Mrs. Lu gasped in the yard, calmed down, and went into the main hall. "Matchmaker Hua, I hope you have a trip. Our Chunlan is still young. We want to stay for a few more years. Why don't you help us get back..."
"I haven't said anything anymore after drinking so much tea in your family. This boy is indeed a good boy. When the family is separated, he can still bear the family." The matchmaker Hua was a little confused. She was still talking about whether to look at each other, but now she went back directly. Chunlan is not young, and some of them are already married at this age.
Mrs. Lu laughed and said, "You have seen it too. My family is young, and I don't even want Chunlan to stay at home for a few more years."
"I have talked about a lot of marriages. I'm still young and so on. Why did I go out for a while? Why didn't I like it? He only had two sons in his family, and the conditions in this family are pretty good in Xiaohe Village." Hua Matchmaker tried her best to persuade him.
Mrs. Lu insisted that Chunlan was a little young and wanted to stay at home for a few more years, but she didn't get into the oil and salt.
"I have also heard about your family's past. Although your family is very popular now, they are all open land. If you plant sweet potatoes, how much investment can you get in the year? Besides, Chunlan is still the elder sister, and there are several younger brothers and sisters. They all said that they can ignore the dowry and the person they like Chunlan!" The matchmaker of the flower was very serious.
Xia Zhu looked at the Lü family and came back soon, thinking that the family must have had a flaw. Although the matchmaker's words were unbelievable, the matchmaker's gaze was not bad at seeing it.
"Grandma Hua, then there is nothing wrong with his family? Grandma Hua, you can't just pick up the good ones. I have poured you so much water, you can't fool us. This is my elder sister's life." Xia Zhu said casually because of her young age. But for a moment, Xia Zhu and matchmaker Hua were really good.
"This is a violation of the matchmaker's rules. Who dares to ask me to match me again in the future?" Hua matchmaker pondered for a while, looking at Xia Zhu looking at herself with expectant expressions, and couldn't help but feel soft. "Forget it, I'm so old, no one comes to me to match me, just enjoy the blessings of my children and grandchildren at home."
"If you want to talk about this family, your son is indeed a good one. But his family is the one who decides it. He said that her mother is like your mother-in-law, but she is better than your mother-in-law!"
Mrs. Lu said seriously, a little displeased. "Flower matchmaker, I know you are a good person if you can say this. However, before coming to my house, you should have asked clearly. I have no choice for my own mother-in-law. My daughter's mother-in-law, I definitely found out clearly. You also know that this marriage is probably not possible."
"Oh..." Fang sighed long. "I didn't find out clearly, my mother-in-law. Hua Miao, I've been here for a while. I'll say that our family wants to keep my daughter for a few more years."
"I just knew that this matter would not be done, so I'll go back and go back to his house." The matchmaker knew that there was no chance of marriage, so she simply left the seat.
Fang stood up and sent the matchmaker out, "I'm so sorry, please trouble you. If you have a good marriage, you have to pay attention to our Chunlan..."
Lu packed the pastry and counted twenty copper plates. "Flower Matchmaker. This is our little intention. I'll have you been in vain..."
"How can this be done? I didn't say it, how can I ask for money?" Hua Matchmaker waved her hands repeatedly and refused.
"You have to pay attention to my Chunlan's future marriage..." Lu put things in the arms of the matchmaker Hua. The matchmaker couldn't refuse it, and he didn't say much, "Okay, I'll leave now. If there is a good marriage, I'll come again..."
Xia Zhu looked at the matchmaker Hua twisting her butt and walked away, and couldn't help but sigh: The industry is so conscience!
"In recent years, Chunlan has rarely gone out. Where did this person find out, and said that the dowry is fine. If Mr. Qiu happened to be from Hewan Village, I had already become interested in looking at each other." Lu also stood at the gate of the courtyard, sighing.
"Well, after all, this matchmaker is a good one." Fang agreed.
Mrs. Lu helped Mrs. Fang back to the house and said as she walked. "This matchmaker is pretty good. She is often run in this village. There is also a matchmaker named Dong. But I heard that this matchmaker surnamed Dong is not very honest. I have to be careful when I come to the door."
When he returned to the house, Chunlan didn't ask anything. Lu didn't plan to say anything, but Xia Zhu didn't care. This is a type that my elder sister likes.
"Sister, what do you like? That was a matchmaker just now, I'm afraid you know it too, right?"
Chunlan glanced at Xia Zhu, but she was not shy at all. "Grandma and mother will help me watch, but I don't know what's good or bad."
Xia Zhu held his forehead and said, "Sister, I mean, what do you like? Be gentler, stronger, literate, farmer, shop owner, and family members?"
"You little girl asks so much about what you are doing. When you are looking for a husband in the future, you can think carefully. I have no feeling of anything now. Grandma and mother think it's good." No desire and no desire.
Lu nodded with satisfaction, very satisfied with Chunlan's words. She carried Lulan on her back and asked Chunlan many times, but Chunlan still had the same answer.
Xia Zhu realized that this Chunlan had not yet realized it!
"Dahai family, are you here?" Another scream came from the entrance of the yard.
"Why are there so many people in our family today?" Xia Zhu couldn't help but mutter.
Mrs. Lu looked at Xia Zhu, got up and went to open the door. "Here, come..."
"Oh, it's Xing'er's mother, sit in the fast house for a while..." Mrs. Lu invited someone to sit in the main hall for a while, and Xia Zhu went to serve tea and water again in a very hard time. I don't know when it started, but now Xia Zhu is doing Chunlan's work.
As soon as Xing'er's mother sat down, she told her purpose directly. "I guess you know that Xing'er has returned to her parents' home, so I won't buy some eggs. I know that your eggs have always been in short supply. I am a mother. Xing'er finally got a body, can she sell me some first?"
"I said what's going on? Can I not respond to this little thing in a village? How many eggs do I need?" Lu asked with a smile.
"It's fifty, and I have some eggs at home. But I heard that your eggs are big and nourishing, and only suitable for those with body and confinement... After a few days, Xing'er is going to go back to town. I'll buy some more, and you have to leave me another hundred." Xing'er's mother smiled. This is different for those who want to be grandma.
Xia Zhu can hear that Xing'er's mother is a man who can swing the broom and call me. Otherwise, how can a widow support a family? Xing'er can still marry into the town and eat delicious food and drink spicy food. Xing'er's mother is definitely not easy.
Mrs. Lu called Chunlan to the chicken coop and said to Tusheng's wife.
"You are so lucky. Xing'er married into the town. I heard that her husband loved him so much, and he followed Xing'er in everything. His two children are obedient and sensible. You have made it through." Lu sighed, feeling that Xing'er's mother is not bad.
If Xia Zhu knew what Lu's thoughts, he would not help but say that there would be no real bad in Lu's eyes and heart.
"Well, I've been blessed by Xing'er. You're not bad now. Life is booming, and I don't know how many people in the village are red." Xing'er's mother said casually, looking at the look of Lu'er's dazed look, and continued to speak, and continued to work hard.
"You are afraid you live at the end of the village and are far away. You only know few things. Many people in this village are jealous, but our village is full of good people. I know that it is not easy for your family, so most of them are happy for you."
Chunlan came in with a basket, and Lu took it, "Here, this is the egg you want. I pasted ten more, so I am the one who is my aunt to replenish Xing'er's body. Don't refuse, I'm not happy. Besides, there are only a few eggs, what's not worth it!"
"How can you be so embarrassed? I'll buy eggs here and I'll spend money on it. I'll give you so much eggs..." Xing'er's mother was a little embarrassed and refused to pick up the basket.
Lu pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "What's the cost or not? It's all your own things. If you push the egg, it will be broken. Besides, I'm not giving it to you, but to that girl Xing'er."
After taking the basket, Xing'er's mother didn't expect that Lu's family would be so enthusiastic. "Big girl, say something inappropriate, tell Chunlan early, don't take it seriously, remember it."
Mrs. Lu sent someone out, pinched her hand on the fence, gritting her teeth. "It's been two years now, and it seems that she hasn't given up yet, she's a fool!"
Sit in groups and have a meal!
To be continued...
