Time flies so fast, and it’s the Chinese New Year in a blink of an eye. The snow this year is not heavy, but comes one after another. After the fifteenth day, there is no snow again.
This is convenient for Liu Ye, who runs around the county every day. Sometimes when it snows in Shen Tianli, he still can't see his wife, so he can only pick her up on the road. Sometimes she is picked up directly from the county, and the two of them simply stay in the county. Busy together here.
I didn’t come back to celebrate the New Year with my family until the 28th.
Naturally, the two families spent the New Year together, and on the 30th night, Liuye paid dividends, making everyone seem even happier.
The next day not only Liu Ye received two red envelopes, but also Shen Tianli received two red envelopes. However, all the red envelopes belonged to his wife.
After breakfast, the family went to the temple to burn incense. Thinking of what happened last year, not only He, but also Fang and her sisters also pulled the willow leaves tightly. They were really afraid of losing the willow leaves like last year. Already.
What made Liu Ye dumbfounded was that she did it on purpose last year. Otherwise, with her strength, would those people be able to take her away?
But after getting some incense, I went back.
Liu Ye did not need to go back to her parents' home to pay New Year's greetings the next day, so He took her family back to Hejiacun.
Hejia Village has also undergone tremendous changes this year. In the distance, there are also many mud-tile houses. It seems that everyone's life is getting better again.
The He family also built a new house, with a large courtyard with five entrances, which looks very grand.
When Old Man He and Mrs. He saw their daughter, grandson and others coming, the whole family went out to welcome them.
They were all filled with gratitude to Shen Tianli and Liu Ye. If it weren't for them, how could this family live in such a big house? How could the grandson and great-grandson go to school? How could the second grandson be so promising and be called out by everyone? Boss?
After giving out red envelopes, the women gathered their parents, and soon He Erniu came back.
Erniu was pregnant, already three months old, and her belly seemed to be still there, but Li Rong was very nervous and carefully supported her while walking.
When passing the door, I didn't forget to remind you, "Second girl, your feet are too high. Pay attention to the threshold."
He Erniu said disgustedly: "I'm looking at it. This is my home. I don't know if there are thresholds in my home. You don't have to be so careful. I'm fine." After saying that, she let go of Li Rong's hand and strode forward.
He shouted happily: "Grandpa, grandma, dad and mom...I'm back!"
When Ms. Yang saw her daughter losing her temper, her son-in-law not only didn't care about it, but hurriedly stepped forward to support her. When she got closer, he let go of her hand to show everyone the gift. He was very satisfied and said with a smile: "Sit down, sit down! Xiaorong!" , Erniu has a bad temper, and she is pregnant, so you should take more care of this."
He Erniu was about to retort when she heard her husband say: "Mom, Erniu is very good. She was happy when she came back today and saw my sister-in-law's carriage at the door, so she was so anxious."
Hearing that her son-in-law was protecting her daughter in this way, Mrs. Yang was very happy. She gave a red envelope and dismissed Li Rong. The women continued to chat, talking and talking about He Siyu's marriage.
"My family's conditions have improved, and many matchmakers have come to propose marriages. I've looked at many of them, but there's no one I'm interested in," Mrs. Xu said helplessly.
Yang thought to herself that now that her family's conditions were better, Xu's requirements were very high. She also wanted the other person to be good-looking, good at embroidery, and good at cooking. A girl from a wealthy family might not meet her requirements.
"Second aunt, do you think Yuhua is okay? Originally, my mother-in-law fell in love with my brother-in-law, but my brother-in-law was still young and didn't agree. I think Yuhua and fourth brother are just right." After He Erniu finished speaking, she looked at Liu leaf.
"Who is Yuhua?" Seeing her niece looking at her nephew's wife, she also looked over.
Liuye also thinks that Yuhua is good. Although she doesn't like to talk, she is quick and meticulous in her work. She can cook and sew. She is really good with her fourth cousin.
"My senior brother Yuqian's sister is very capable. My senior brother is building a house outside, taking care of my grandma and younger brother, and taking care of all the work in the house."
"Yes, now Li Yuqian is building a house with Uncle Liu, and many matchmakers have come to propose marriage. But Li Yuqian has not agreed."
Liu Ye's father built the He family's house. Li Yuqian is a strong young man who works meticulously and looks like a solid young man. If her parents' family didn't have a suitable daughter, she would have introduced her to him.
Now when she heard that he had a sister, she liked such a marriage based on the relationship between Li Yuqian and Ye'er.
Then he said: "Little sister, when will you call Yuhua to your house for me to take a look?"
"Let's see, Fifteen Yuqian will definitely bring the whole family to burn incense. When the time comes, you will come over after burning incense, and you will definitely be able to see it." He said with a smile.
Mrs. Xu thought it was good, so she turned around and told her son. Naturally, He Siyu had no objection.
In a blink of an eye, it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Mrs. He had finished offering incense early and was waiting at home. The first people to arrive were the people from the He family. Only Mrs. He, Mrs. Xu and Mr. He Siyu came over. He Siyu wore special clothes.
New coat, Zhou Zheng still had a blush on his face.
Not long after chatting, Mrs. Li came over with Li Yuhua.
Li Yuhua is fifteen today. She is a big girl. She has even become an old girl in the village. It is time to get married.
But at the beginning, his family was poor, and Li Yuqian's leg was injured during that time, so it was delayed. Later, Li Yuqian got better and better and went out often. In addition, he wanted to find a good family for his sister.
Wait, you're getting old.
Mrs. Li was very worried, but Li Yuqian became happy when she said that she had fallen in love with a family.
I came here today to pay homage to the Bodhisattva, hoping that my grandchildren will have a smooth marriage.
After paying homage to the Bodhisattva, Yu Qian brought him over to Liu's house, saying that he wanted to pay homage to the master. When he arrived, he found out that he was actually a fellow villager from Yuhua and was Tianli's cousin. He felt even happier because he felt that his worship to the Bodhisattva was not in vain.
Li Yu spent money to build a house and buy herbs, and the Li family also had money. So Li Yuhua is wearing a new red coat and skirt today, and she often uses willow leaf cream. Even though she often works in the fields, she still looks rosy and fair.
, plus she didn’t have much foundation, so He Siyu’s face turned red when he saw Li Yuhua.
When Liu Ye saw the expressions on her second aunt and cousin's face, she knew it was done.
The two met once and were taken out by Liu Ye. When they came back, they heard from Mr. He that the two families had already decided. Mrs. Xu went to propose marriage at the age of eighteen. Because both of them were "old", the marriage would also be held.
It will be held in the first half of the year.
Sure enough, news soon came from the He family that the marriage of He Siyu and Li Yuhua was scheduled for March 28th.
School will start on the 20th of the first lunar month, and Liu Ming is going to study in the county this year. Liu Ye arranged a room for him early, and Liu Yu also arranged for his brother to have two servants to take care of his food and daily life.
Shen Tianli did not go to the academy, and was studying at home while waiting to take the imperial examination in February.
