In the courtyard, even Xiao Hei has been out of energy for two days.
Mother Li was too lazy to move back to the small foreign-style house, and was leisurely teasing Xiao Hei with her granddaughter.
Li Weili felt sorry for her grandma: "Grandma, how about my brother and I live on campus?"
"Nonsense!" Grandma Li sat up straight:
"If there are only three of you brothers, they will live on campus. Grandma won't worry about you and a girl living on campus."
Li Weili knew that her grandma loved her the most: "Well, how about you get a dog? If Xiao Hei hadn't been a wolf, we would have taken Xiao Hei to the county seat."
Grandma Li glanced at Xiao Hei who was lazily basking in the sun, thought for a while and said:
"How about getting a pug? Pugs are well-behaved, but native dogs always run away."
"Okay, okay, I'll tell mom."
Li Weili got up and ran to find her mother.
As soon as Tian Jing came out of the nursery, she was caught and yelled at by her daughter.
Where could she get a pug? There were none in the mountains.
Li Weili asked: "Mom, is this okay?"
"Yes, yes." Tian Jing nodded: "It's just that mom has no place to buy it."
Li Weili blinked: "No need to buy it, my classmate's family has one. It's not a purebred. I told you before the summer vacation that the dog's mother was going to give birth. She should be one month old by now."
Tian Jing reached out and tapped her forehead: "How did you coax your grandma?"
"I didn't!" Li Weili refused to admit:
"Grandma herself said she wanted a pug. She said pugs are well-behaved."
Tian Jing believed that it was strange. Her daughter must have said something before, and this time she mentioned raising a dog. Didn’t her mother-in-law follow her daughter’s thoughts and run away?
Otherwise, how would my mother-in-law know that a pug is a well-behaved dog? She has never raised one.
Tian Jing did not expose her daughter in such trivial matters: "Remember to give red envelopes to classmates. If you don't buy them, you have to give them money. This is the rule."
"I know." Li Weili turned around and ran back to the courtyard to tell her grandma the news.
Mother Li looked at her granddaughter in front of her with a smile, who kept talking non-stop. The time for a girl to be carefree was short.
…
Afeng and Mrs. Niu went to Li Liguo's house to deliver the selections. Ouyang Meihua chose a day after winter, when the watermelons were almost sold out and she had time.
Of course Huang Sulan, who is a neighbor of Li Liguo's family, knew about it. She discussed with Li Jianguo and decided to arrange her son's marriage this year too, right?
The back mountain is so busy that there is no end to it. Besides, after the busy work is over, it will be the beginning of attracting tourists. It is expected to be even busier, so why not just join in the fun during the year.
Soon, Li Jianguo's eldest son Li Youcai also picked a day to marry his wife.
Brother Wang felt that everyone was in the west end of the village and would join in the fun together, so he decided on a date to marry his eldest grandson Wang Xiaodong.
When Deputy Village Chief Ou heard that the three families had chosen a date, he hurriedly urged his two sons to quickly decide a date for his grandchildren.
There are four grandsons, the eldest is twenty-six and the youngest is eighteen. The younger one sits in the back row to give life to the three older ones.
If you can’t pick one before the new year, pick one after the new year and before spring plowing.
We've been engaged for several years and if we still don't get married, the woman should have some objections.
Being busy is not a reason. There has never been a time when Kushanli was not busy in the past few years.
When the villagers saw that the Ou family, who were not in a hurry at first, were anxious, they became anxious too.
If I had all my grandchildren before, I would have been too busy these past few years.
For the time being, what they want is to have adults in the family, and they don't want to have more children because they don't have time to take care of them.
Moreover, if a son marries a wife inside and has a daughter who is already married to his family, there is no reason not to let him go outside.
Those who marry one after another will not make any money, but still lose money. How can the daughter-in-law have a daughter to take care of?
Tian Jing received more than 40 invitations in a row, and her head felt big.
How did these people cooperate? They actually staggered the dates.
From the beginning of winter to the New Year, more than eighty days, no matter odd or even days, are taken up.
The children in the village should be happy, right? They have something to eat almost every day.
Li Zhengguo felt that these villagers were just joining in the fun. In recent years, there were very few happy events in the village.
Even weddings are held in a hurry.
Moreover, we didn’t have a hot house wine when we lived in the small western-style building. Don’t you just want to have a lively stay this time?
When Zeng Jingchu followed the car to collect melons, he felt that the mood of the villagers was very high.
After asking about the reason, he went to his elder brother and asked him about his plan.
Zeng Jingliang told his brother that Ah Feng agreed to marry him.
Zeng Jingchu staggered: "You want to marry into the family?"
Zeng Jingliang nodded seriously: "A-Feng's cooking skills must be passed on, and A-Man's medical skills must be passed on."
"The Zeng family will leave it to you. You should work hard. If you delay it any longer, you will become an old man."
Zeng Jingchu was anxious: "Brother, I need to ask dad about this. I think it's okay for you to marry into the family, and the child's surname can also be Yuan."
"But why do you want to get a few more named Zeng and go back to divide the family property?"
Zeng Jingliang glanced at his brother with disdain:
"There are quite a few from the Yuan family. This is one of the reasons why A-Feng can't wait for me in Kyoto."
Zeng Jingchu knew his eldest brother's temper. The Yuan family was also a wealthy family, and it was even less likely that his eldest brother would have more children just to divide the family property.
It's over now, the only eldest brother who is willing to get married has married into a second-in-law, and the carefree life of him and his cousin is gone.
Zeng Jingchu went to Tian Jing, "Tian, Tian Jing, can you give me some advice?"
Tian Jing thought Zeng Jingchu asked her to persuade Zeng Jingliang not to get married, but she refused, saying that this was a matter between Zeng Jingliang and Ah Feng, and she would not interfere.
"No." Zeng Jingchu shook his head:
"I guess even my father can't persuade my eldest brother to get married. I want you to persuade him to have more children and go back to inherit the Zeng family."
The corners of Tian Jing's mouth rose: "You have found the wrong person. You should discuss it with Ah Feng. Besides, with Ah Feng's age, it will be difficult unless one is born every year."
Zeng Jingchu was stunned: "Didn't it say that women can live until they are fifty?"
Tian Jing laughed. She didn't know which fool said it, or who deceived Zeng Jingchu into thinking he was a fool:
"Some women may still have children in their sixties. Most women cannot have children in their forties."
Zeng Jingchu was so surprised that he stuttered: "Ah, how old is Feng?"
Tian Jing waved her hand: "A Feng is definitely fertile. It's not convenient for me to explain too much to you about a woman's fertility status."
"She can give birth to two at most, but her body can't bear any more."
Even if Yuan Man is good at medicine, Ah Feng has no obligation to help the Zeng family:
"Why don't you have children yourself? Men take a long time to have children. Find a young one and have more children."
As soon as Tian Jing said these words, Zeng Jingchu turned around and ran away.
Tian Jing was confused, so she asked Zeng Jingliang.
Zeng Jingliang told Tian Jing that neither Zeng Jingchu nor Zeng Jingrong wanted to get married, and both believed that women were too troublesome:
"The second brother is mainly frightened by his mother. He thinks that women only need to be coaxed by crying."
"Then he was frightened by the experiences of people around him. He saw that some independent women were changing after getting married, and they were turning towards psychosis."
"My cousin is also frightened by women. The changes in the Han family were caused by women."
"Except for women in his family, he doesn't want to have contact with other women. It's a bit of misogyny."
"My second brother is probably worried about you trying to persuade him. If you open your mouth to persuade him, he won't be able to refuse. My cousin probably won't be able to refuse either."
