Farmer’s Blessed Girl

"But it doesn't matter," Xiaoqian said, "I will ask your eldest brother to save more this year. When your fourth brother goes to the capital, I will ask him to transport two tanks for you. Aunt Rong will also make sausages, not only lamb. , this pork is also very good for making sausages, but the best one is beef. Unfortunately, beef is not often available. The last time I used it to make sausages, it was because County Magistrate Yang wanted to eat it, so he sent a piece of beef over..."

The two aunts and sisters-in-law were gossiping, and they talked about the big girl Zhou Lixin, Xiaoqian said: "This morning, someone came from the Li Chang's house to invite dad over. It should be to discuss the date of marriage. It won't be a few days until the big sister is born." Ya might be getting married soon."

Man Bao was surprised, "Is it in such a hurry?"

Xiaoqian smiled and said: "You just came back, so you feel that time is tight and you are in a hurry, but in fact, this marriage has been mentioned for half a year since their family deliberately started it."

She said: "It was set in October. It was supposed to be a good day on the eighth day of this month, but the family thought that you would come back for the Chinese New Year, and the eldest girl is the only one in their generation who got married, so they thought about people. No matter what, I have to get back together, so I dragged it down."

People in the country say that they are not as particular about kissing as in the city. As long as they don't come in during the farming season, the woman's side basically won't have much opinion.

Now, Lao Zhou's family and Li Chang's family are not short of money, as long as they want to hold a happy event, they can do it anytime.

Xiaoqian lowered her voice and said: "If we don't do it before the year, the farming will be busy soon after the new year. We are definitely not willing to let the big girl marry at that time, so we have to wait for the Qingming to be over after the new year. It’s time to plant the seedlings again. Guan Yong is not young, and their family still wants to marry a wife earlier.”

It is convenient for others and convenient for oneself. We all want to be in-laws. Although we want to save face for each other's children, we must also be considerate of each other. That's why Zhou Dalang and Xiaoqian agreed to get married years ago. The marriage date is discussed at home.

Man Bao ate up all the noodles and asked, "Why did father and elder brother go to their house instead of theirs to ours?"

Xiaoqian laughed and said, "I came here the day before yesterday. Isn't it because your return date is uncertain, so Dad can't make a date for a while? Who knows that you came back in the evening not long after they left, and the family has already accepted a re-entry date." It’s not easy to accept the gift a second time, and it happened that Dad heard that someone was selling cows in Dali Village, so he wanted to check it out, so he stopped by.”

Man Bao's eyes lit up, "Do you want to buy a cow at home?"

Xiaoqian nodded, "The family has a surplus, and dad said to raise another cow, which can be shared on weekdays and give birth to calves. Now your fourth brother, fifth brother, and sixth brother are all outside, and your second brother will come from time to time. We must also take care of the business in Yizhou City, and we can’t take care of the work in the field, because the people at home are still a little tired.”

Man Bao said: "Help someone, or you will be too tired."

Little Qian shook his head, "Where do we need to hire people? Wheat, rice, and beans are all planted at the wrong time. It doesn't matter if we plant them slowly."

Man Bao thought about it.

It is indeed more difficult for her father to spend money to hire someone.

Man Bao glanced across the yard and asked, "Sister-in-law, can we build a house on the open space over there?"

Xiaoqian followed her gaze, shook his head and said: "Our family's homestead has been approved, and if we want any more, we will have to separate the family and go out, otherwise we can only buy. But our family is not short of houses now."

It is a house that does not lack people to live in, but a house that lacks cattle.

Man Bao took out the bowl to wash, and then sat opposite Xiao Qian to peel the beans together, "Sister-in-law, what dowry is prepared for Da Ya at home?"

"Several quilts, new clothes, and rattan wooden boxes. She has kept all the money herself these past few years. Mother said to give her two more copper coins hanging from the box," Xiaoqian paused for a moment and lowered her voice. The voice said: "Your elder brother and I are thinking about giving her two copper coins hanging from the ballast."

"Then if she gets married, will she stay in the village to farm?"

Xiaoqian sighed: "Farming the land is too tiring, but she has been doing this since she was a child, so she is not afraid."

Man Bao gave her an idea, "Sister-in-law, let Da Ya continue to work in the restaurant, give her monthly money, and tell the village chief's family that when you get old, give her the shop as a dowry. They must be willing."

Xiaoqian was stunned for a moment, apparently he didn't expect Man Bao to mention the shop suddenly, the shop was recorded in Man Bao's name, and it was agreed to leave it to Man Bao as a dowry.

But Man Bao didn't know about this, so Xiaoqian paused and said: "Her dowry is not too thin now, especially the money she has saved over the years is quite a lot. There are no people in these ten miles and eight villages. It is enough for a girl to have her dowry."

"But it's still worse than the rest of the family." Man Bao thought she wanted to leave the shop to Datou and Santou, so he said, "Sister-in-law, Lizhong is doing very well in the capital now. Our family has I have opened a shop. The fourth brother is addicted to running a business now. Li Zhong will help out occasionally. He will definitely not like your shop in the future. I asked Li Xue yesterday how many of them are the best at reading now. Except for Sanya, it’s Li Xue.”

Man Bao said in a low voice: "I didn't know until I went out that there are many people who study in this world. If you want to get ahead, you can't just know how to farm and do business. You also have to know how to read and be an examiner. You are not stupid when you are a student. Let them Go out and study, he's the right age."

Xiaoqian was stunned, "Three heads can examine officials?"

"It may not be possible to pass the exam, but if he has read so many books, he must have the ability to settle down." Man Bao said: "So you don't have to worry about him, then this shop doesn't need to be important or academic, then Just give it to Da Ya, so she can relax."

Xiaoqian reached out and touched her head and said with a smile: "Don't give it to her, I'll take this shop first."

"It's for you to hold it first, and you can give it to Da Ya later if you don't want to run a restaurant."

Little Qian: ...

Man Bao looked at her with round eyes, and asked puzzledly, "What's wrong, sister-in-law?"

Xiaoqian let out a breath and said with a smile: "This shop will be reserved for you as a dowry in the future."

Man Bao didn't expect this shop to have her own business, she waved her hand generously and said: "I don't need it, I will buy it myself in the future, sister-in-law, you can give it to Da Ya."

"That won't work, you bought this shop with your own money, and it was recorded in your name at the beginning," Xiaoqian said, "You have passed your thirteenth birthday, and you are fourteen years old. We will have a kiss in one or two years, and we have to prepare for all of this."

Man Bao scratched his head and said: "But sister-in-law, this shop is for you, and it is yours. How can you turn around and return to me?"

"It hasn't changed hands, the name on it has always been yours."

Man Bao: ...

Man Bao thought about it seriously, and finally found an excuse. She said with a serious face: "Sister-in-law, I'm not good at cooking. I will open a shop in the future, and that will also be a drug store. It is absolutely impossible to open a restaurant."
