Farmer’s Blessed Girl

Man Bao raised his head and said, "Father, Sixth Brother and Mr. Li Zhongli are staying in the capital to open a shop. Business is good during the Chinese New Year, so they are reluctant to close the shop."

She didn't say anything about Zhou Zhoulang betting Saturday Lang and the store with Hu Shang, and continued: "The fourth brother and Liwei bought a batch of leather goods, and they separated from us in Mianzhou, and they are going to sell them in Maozhou and Yizhou. It may take a few days to come back."

Old Zhoutou didn't know much about this kind of business, but he appreciated Zhou Zhoulang's behavior of not leaving empty space and Saturday Lang's hardworking attitude, so he left them behind for the time being, picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks, and gave it to him. Man Bao said cheerfully: "Okay, then let's eat first, come on, Man Bao eats meat, are you hungry all the way?"

Not very hungry, but very bumpy.

Mrs. Qian glanced at the excited old Zhoutou, and took a chopsticks of meat for Man Bao, and said: "Eat quickly, your room mother asked your third sister-in-law to clean up, and a brazier was lit in the room. If it's too cold, add another quilt."

Man Bao answered.

The family had a supper happily, and after the meal, everyone lit the lamps and shared things.

The first room, the second room, the fourth room and the fifth room all bought good things for the occupants of their respective houses. Of course, Man Bao would not forget the third brother and the others, and also bought them a box of things.

But this is not the most important thing. These things were put away by category when they were in the capital, and they have been carried back to their respective rooms. They will divide them by themselves.

The main thing is that Man Bao also brought back some books from the capital this time, which she bought for Santou and the others.

Most of the books at home were hand-copied by her husband, and then the three of them hand-copied a copy from her. In fact, there are still very few books.

This time, she brought back many books that she had read and memorized, and Santou and the others could use them directly.

If it’s not enough, you can make a copy yourself.

There were also some fabrics and jewelry that the queen and the princess rewarded her. Man Bao also brought back a lot, and she was not stingy about distributing them to her family.

Qian touched the brocade, then put it away, shook her head and said, "This brocade is too slippery, I'm afraid that the calluses on my hands will pick its threads, it's not usable for farmers, so let's put it away. "

But Man Bao saw that the sister-in-laws really liked it, so he said: "Mother, let the sister-in-laws keep it, even if you don't wear it, keep it, and you can sell it for money in the future."

Mrs. Qian glanced at her, did not express any objection, and said to Mrs. Qian and others: "Since Man Bao said so, you can keep it. In the future, when the child gets married or gets married, these materials may be used."

Speaking of this topic, Xiaoqian couldn't help asking Man Bao, "Man Bao, when will the big head come back to say goodbye?"

"Yes, Erya is old too," Feng said, "I thought Erya was coming back this time."

Man Bao was taken aback, "Second sister-in-law, are you going to marry Li Jun?"

Feng said: "You can start seeing each other."

After thinking for a while, Man Bao shook his head and said: "Mr. Li may have done it now. It is probably impossible for her to go home and marry someone, and it is not good for a girl to marry too early."

"What's wrong?"

Man Bao said: "It's not good for your health, you marry too early, it's dangerous to have children, let's talk about it after you're eighteen."

Feng was confused, "Eighteen is too old, right? By the way, where is the sixth child?"

It was only then that everyone remembered that Zhou Liulang hadn't married a wife yet.

The sister-in-laws all looked at Qian, and the atmosphere was a little stagnant.

Man Bao chuckled, feeling a little guilty.

Seeing this, Mrs. Qian said to Mrs. Feng and others who were surrounded by Manbao House: "It's getting late, you should go back to your room and sleep."

Feng Shi and the others hugged the brocade they had allotted and left.

Qian said to Xiao Qian: "Go and boil another pot of hot water, so that Manbao and the others won't have enough hot water to wash up later."

Little Qian also left, Man Bao hurriedly took out a big bundle and gave it to her, "Sister-in-law, here is a fox fur coat for you, it will keep you warm."

Little Qian went back with a piece of brocade and a big bundle.

Feng and the others saw it, so they knew that the sister-in-law had more burdens than them, but at the moment everyone was mostly envious, and they had already gotten used to it.

After everyone had left, Qian pulled Man Bao and asked, "Did your sixth brother fall in love with someone in the capital?"

Man Bao: "How did Mom know?"

Qian did not answer, but asked, "What kind of person?"

Man Bao scratched his head and said, "The sixth brother entrusted the fourth brother to come back to intercede."

Qian Shi nodded her head and said: "So you want to hide it from mother until your fourth brother comes back?"

Man Bao smiled embarrassedly, looked outside, and then whispered in Qian's ear: "It's the daughter of the mutton restaurant next door to our restaurant, surnamed Qiu, and she is eighteen years old this year."

Qian frowned, "I haven't gotten engaged at the age of eighteen, is it because I don't want to start a family like your sixth brother, or is it because of some other reason?"

Man Bao: "She is the only daughter in their family."

This situation is so familiar, Qian asked without thinking, "Is their family going to marry?"

Man Bao was about to answer no, but he paused and asked, "Mom, will you agree to marry Sixth Brother?"

"No," Qian said with a sullen face, "it's not because of the filial piety of your sixth brother. Apart from him, I have five sons. Your father and I have enough for the elderly. It's just that it's not so easy to be a son-in-law. Not to mention the eyes of outsiders, even the family members may look down on him."

Qian Shi said: "Our family does not lack money to marry a daughter-in-law now, why do we want to marry?"

Man Bao said: "My own father is also married, mother, didn't you say that my grandpa and the others treated my own father very well?"

Hearing her mentioning this, Mrs. Qian knew what she was thinking, reached out and touched her head and said, "It's pretty good, but it's different now, when your father had nothing, even his life They saved her, otherwise there wouldn't be so many entanglements if she married her."

Man Bao asked in a low voice, "What's the trouble?"

Qian pinched her cheek, and said angrily, "If you know what you're asking, what else can you do? Of course it's your family history."

Man Bao sighed and said, "Mother, do you think my name is Zhou Man or Xia Man?"

Qian said with a smile: "They all sound good, it depends on which name you like."

Man Bao herself was undecided. Of course, she preferred the name she had carried since she was a child, but it seemed that her own father and their family had no morals. After all, it was agreed at the beginning that they would marry.

Qian Shi also sighed, "Your sixth brother should come back, just let your father beat him up."

Man Bao was shocked, and immediately came back to his senses, and quickly explained: "Mother, the Qiu family didn't let the sixth brother marry, they just said they wanted a child with their family name."

Qian: ...

She looked at Man Bao silently.

Man Bao smiled flatteringly: "Didn't I just want to know your opinion on getting married?"

Mrs. Qian nodded her head, and then asked about the situation of the Qiu family in detail.

As soon as Man Bao heard it, she knew that Qian was inclined to agree. She somehow felt that she was at a disadvantage. It seemed that when the fourth brother came back, he had to give her the ten taels of silver from the sixth brother, because she was the one who persuaded her to marry him. Mother.

I wish the book friend "Xiao Sa" a happy birthday, further progress in his career, get out of the order as soon as possible, buy a house as soon as possible, and so on

See you tomorrow
