"Second brother, that's not what I meant, and I don't mean to accuse you. If you can really marry a daughter who sells donkey meat, I will be happy before it's too late.
I just want to tell you that all I do is to make money, and I also want to marry a good wife." Lin Sanhu said.
"How old are you that you already want to marry a wife?"
Lin Erhu was a little confused when he saw his brother confessing his feelings to him.
"Second brother, I'm not young anymore. I'm already fourteen this year. I'm actually fifteen. In one or two years, why don't I have a wife? I don't want to be like you. I won't be able to get a wife until I'm eighteen or nineteen.
.”
Lin Sanhu said: "Looking at my mother's appearance, I don't know if she takes your life-long affairs seriously, so I have to save some money. It is best to save enough money for my betrothal gift. If I see you in the future,
If I win a girl from a certain family, I can boldly tell my mother to propose marriage to me, and I will pay for the betrothal gift myself."
"You..." The honest Lin Erhu was shocked by Lin Sanhu's words. After a moment of silence, he said: "You are ambitious."
"Of course." Lin Sanhu was a little proud, "Look at the conditions of our family, they are not very good. We don't even have any land now. It is enough to support our family just by relying on this braised food stall.
But what if I open my mouth one more time?"
Lin Sanhu looked at Lin Erhu with an old-fashioned look, "Second brother, you said, if our family was rich, wouldn't you marry the daughter who sells donkey meat if you want? But now, you can't even tell her
You don’t dare to express your inner feelings, aren’t you just afraid that others will look down upon us?”
"I didn't." Lin Erhu shook his head.
"You don't have it? But I do."
Lin Sanhu looked him up and down, and suddenly sighed, "Although mother made us beautiful clothes and dressed us up, we know very well that we are just hawkers from the countryside. We have nothing in our pockets."
I have no money and feel very guilty.
You said that it would be fine if our future second sister-in-law was an ordinary girl from the countryside, but she is a donkey meat seller and she is also a city girl. Don't you feel guilty?"
Hearing Lin Sanhu's words, Lin Erhu remained silent on his face, but he was also touched in his heart.
The young man who came from the countryside always had a low self-esteem. Even though he was wearing decent clothes, his low self-esteem became deeper. He even felt that he was almost more comfortable in the clothes he wore and dressed up so well.
, his family is poor, and he himself has no talent, virtue or ability, which makes him feel unreliable.
"Okay, second brother, I won't tell you more, you can think about it yourself." Lin Sanhu said, packed up the stall and jumped on the bullock cart, "Let's go, second brother, buy donkey meat."
Let’s go.”
Lin Erhu came over and got on the bullock cart, but he was a little lost.
When he arrived at a stall selling donkey meat not far away, he did not dare to go there. He just sat in the car, took out the money from his arms and handed it to Lin Sanhu, "Sanhu, I won't go there today. You can go buy it."
.”
"Second brother, go ahead and take one more look." Lin Sanhu said to him with a wink.
"I really don't want to go." Lin Erhu forced the money to him. Seeing him like this, Lin Sanhu raised his eyebrows and asked, "You really don't want to go?"
"I really don't want to go. Go quickly. Don't waste time. If you go back early today, you can still help the family with some work." Lin Erhu said something. When Lin Sanhu saw him like this, he took the money and went
In front of a stall selling donkey meat.
"I want twenty kilograms of donkey meat." Lin Sanhu handed the money to the stall owner.
The stall owner was a burly middle-aged man, not really fat, but very strong. He was wearing a heather gray coat and was shirtless, showing the strong muscles on his arms. He picked up the knife hanging on the side and put it on the chopping board.
He cut the meat and weighed it again, "Twenty catties and five taels, you just need to pay twenty catties."
Lin Sanhu asked while giving money: "Sister Xiaoyue is not here today?"
"Why are you asking this?" The stall owner took a knife and pierced the donkey meat, looked up at him, and there was a hint of vigilance in his eyes.
"Just asking, has Sister Xiaoyue got married? Maybe I can be a matchmaker for her." Lin Sanhu said with a playful smile.
"You don't have all your hair, do you? You even helped my daughter as a matchmaker, which makes people laugh out loud." As the stall owner said, he twisted a handful of straw with his hands to make a rope and put the donkey meat on it.
He hung it up and handed it to Lin Sanhu, while taking the money into his arms.
"I'm serious, what do you think of my second brother? He is honest, good-looking, hard-working and able to work." Lin Sanhu said again.
Hearing this, the stall owner glanced at Lin Erhu from a distance, and then said to Lin Sanhu, "You kid, don't talk nonsense here. I won't allow you to talk casually about marriage. Leave quickly."
After all, Lin Sanhu has been setting up a stall here for so long, and today he went to see the world with Ye Yaozu. He was already lively, and he was not shy. He said with a smooth tongue, "Let me check my tone first, don't look down on me."
.”
The stall owner sneered, but ignored him, and started to greet other customers. Lin Sanhu didn't take it seriously, and carried the donkey meat back to the bullock cart.
Immediately afterwards, the two brothers bought some other things, then went to pick up Lin Sihu, who was studying in the school, and returned home together.
After returning home, Lin Erhu didn't tell Ye Chuqiu about Lin Sanhu's leaf card, and Lin Sanhu breathed a sigh of relief.
The next day, Ye Yaozu came to Lin Sanhu again and saw him from a distance. Lin Sanhu quickly gestured to him. Seeing that he didn't go any further, he was relieved and hurriedly
He said hello to Lin Erhu and excused himself to go to dinner. After Lin Erhu agreed, he ran to Ye Yaozu and followed him.
Today, Ye Yaozu took him to meet Mr. Lu again, who was also a generous master. When he saw that Lin Sanhu was young and good-looking, with a sense of honesty and honesty on his face, when he flattered him,
The tone was very sincere, which made him happy and rewarded him again.
Lin Sanhu was also happy. He had food and food, and all he had to do was say a few nice words. Days like this simply made him happy.
Next, Lin Sanhu made excuses to go out with Ye Yaozu every time. Lin Erhu saw him going out more often, and he also had some doubts in his heart. However, every time Lin Sanhu ate, his mouth was full of grease and his stomach was full of oil.
It was also bulging, so Lin Erhu didn't think much about it. He just asked him to pay attention to safety and not to follow others' bad example.
Lin Sanhu naturally agreed. Lin Erhu thought that he was smarter than him, and that nothing happened every time he went out. Sometimes, he even brought him food back, so he stopped caring about him.
On this day, Ye Yaozu took Lin Sanhu out to eat and drink again, but today, sitting in the middle of the banquet was an old man with a goatee, and Lin Sanhu also knew this old man.
