Leisurely Farmer's Family: A Strong Man and His Broken Leg Son-in-law

Xie Weihu had a solemn face and thought seriously about Ning's words. Did he like the little brother of the He family? In fact, he had even forgotten what the little brother of the He family looked like.

It was noon when we met. The matchmaker was my cousin who didn't move much. The place they chose was beside a wild river.

Brother Xian was standing on the south side of the river. He was standing on the north side of the river. The sun was very bright that day. He glanced over and saw that the little brother's face was covered in shadow. He couldn't see clearly. His mother had told him not to stare at it all the time. He kept looking and couldn't see clearly from left to right. He looked briefly and then looked away.

Later, I heard my mother say that Brother Xian of the He family is pretty good. Although he looks a bit stubborn, after just a few words, I can tell that he is a polite person. He said that he is honest and marrying someone who can make up his mind is a perfect match for him.

He was really happy to see his mother and nodded when his cousin asked her questions.

"Mom, I like everything you like." Xie Weihu had a cold face and answered honestly. This was indeed what he was thinking.

"This silly boy, the most important thing is that you like her. Mom also likes Ah Hua from the village, so you can marry her too!" Ning's heart softened as she looked at her son, who had been serious about speech since he was a child.

"Ah Hua is not bad at all. She is hard-working, capable, and filial. In the past few years when Ah Hua was sick in the Chen family, her daughter and daughter have ignored her. Ah Hua has taken good care of them. They are all respected by everyone in the village. Nonsense.”

Ahua is an orphan girl in their village. Both her grandparents are dead. The villagers think that she has a hard life. Even her uncles and relatives are not willing to raise her for fear of being killed. The grandma of the Chen family gave her to her out of pity. Eat in one bite.

She struggled until she was twelve or thirteen years old, but as a result, the grandma of the Chen family became weaker and weaker, and the family could not take care of her. Ahua remembered the kindness of the grandma of the Chen family for helping her, and took her into her own home. Grandma and grandson have already They depended on each other for six or seven years.

"Ahua, you're still two years older, so this won't work."

Xie Weihu turned eighteen and Ahua turned twenty, and with such fates, Xie Wenzhong objected without even thinking.

"Then I'm three years older than you, so I'm not worthy enough. I've wronged you a lot these years!" Ning didn't like hearing this and glanced at the old man.

"Hey, I, it's not enough if I don't say anything!" Xie Wenzhong was pushed over by his old wife, and he quickly explained that he didn't mean to beg for mercy.

Ning let Xie Wenzhong go and looked at Xie Weihu, who looked unhappy, and had to pet the child.

Busy striking while the iron is hot: "Let's cover up this matter, communicate with the He family in private, and find other reasons to break off the engagement externally. If they agree happily, everything will be fine, and we will just return our bride price. Just forget about the rest of the stuff you send to their homes.”

"Mom, is this okay? Will Brother Xian be laughed at in the future?" Xie Weihu pursed his lips tightly and hesitated.

"What's the matter? He is only sixteen this year and will be seventeen next year. Look at Ah Hua, she is already twenty and has not found a suitable in-law. The girl and brother said that it is troublesome to have parents. In a few months, things will calm down. , you can still choose a good family."

"And it's not right for them to conceal that brother Xian was sold into a flower house. We have taken a step back because of his brother's reputation. If they insist on going their own way and thinking of putting the blame on us, it would be too ignorant!"

When Xie Weihu saw that his mother was angry, the tall man stopped saying anything and only said: "My mother must think of a perfect way to avoid damaging Brother Xian's reputation in the future."

When Mrs. Ning saw her son compromising, she couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and sighed in her heart at her son's good heart.

He smiled and said: "Don't worry, we have no grudges in the past and no grudges in the recent days. Besides, I also like Brother Xian's kid. There won't be any enmity even if we don't get married. I already have an idea in my heart. No matter how careful Yuanyuan is, as long as there is no enmity, If the family is willing, everyone will be happy to keep it.”

When Xie Weihu heard what Ning said, he put his heart into his stomach. His mother was smarter than he and his father put together. He had nothing to worry about leaving this matter to his mother.

………………

Shangzhang Town.

The porcelain stall of Liu Yu and his colleagues was set up in the grass market. It was the first big market after the snow, and there were many people visiting the town.

Liu Yu and his colleagues sell a wide variety of porcelain, and the quality is good. Although there are flaws, the price is cheap. Regardless of the size, they all cost three yuan a piece. Because they are so cheap, the flaws are not covered up.

When it's almost noon, people in the market town gather in twos and threes, carrying carts on their backs, on their shoulders, or pushing carts, and they've almost dispersed.

Business was good today. Qi Chunhua touched the money bag in her hand and smiled so hard that she felt a little reluctant to leave when she saw Liu Fan and others preparing to close the stall.

"Mom, these people are almost gone. Let's go to Arrowhead tomorrow. Tomorrow is the first day of the twelfth lunar month, and there are more people who want to come to catch the big market." Arrow is on sale, and there is a market tomorrow. Liu Fan comforted her with words.

Qi Chunhua was then happy and helped to carry the various porcelains on the stall made of old sheets to the trolley.

"Third Aunt, help me pack it up. I'll buy two rulers." Liu Yu blocked the back of her cart and asked Qi Chunhua to help clean it up.

Before setting off today, he asked Changsheng what he wanted to bring. Changsheng asked him to bring two ruler heads each seven feet long and buy some cotton.

When I walked to the stall selling homespun cloth, I asked about the price. The farmer's self-dyed coarse cotton was cut into seven feet each in navy blue and azurite. The old couple setting up the stall smiled and opened the roll of cloth for Liu Yu to take a closer look.

"They are all picked out and dyed evenly. Go back and run the water several times to wash away the floating colors. If you put it in the water again, the color will not fade." The old lady explained while using a ruler to measure the fabric. .

Liu Yu listened carefully and remembered that homespun coarse cotton was half a penny cheaper per foot than in the store, five and a half cents per foot, and fourteen feet of coarse cotton cost a total of seventy-seven pence.

Liu Yu asked the old couple to wipe the lens again for seventy-five cents.

"Third Aunt, do you still have cotton at home? I want to buy some. If not, I will buy it from the stall." After putting away the cloth, Liu Yu raised her voice and asked Qi Chunhua.

"There are still about ten kilograms left. You can buy them from the stall. I plan to let your sister-in-law sew new clothes for the family."

In this case, Liu Yu spent sixty coins to buy ten pounds of cotton, and some needlework of various colors. Liu Yu also bought some things. After packing everything, the family went back with the cart. When they reached the end of the grass market, the food seller saw someone. Start shouting.

After Liu Yan asked a few people, he took out two cents and bought two plate-sized sesame cakes.

"I promised to bring some food back to Lu Ya and Brother Qi when I came here."

After hearing what he said, Liu Fan, who had no idea at first, also bought a sesame seed cake and planned to take it back to Goudan to eat.

When they got home, Liu Fusheng, Nian and Changsheng were engraving money in the courtyard. It was a warm day today and the sun was so warm that it was more comfortable to be outside than in the house.

Seeing Liu Yu pushing the cart into the hospital, Liu Fusheng and Nian rushed to greet it and help unload the cart. When they saw the coarse cotton cloth and cotton in the basket on their backs.

Nian couldn't help but be surprised: "Why did you buy these things?"

Liu Yu touched her head and didn't know what Changsheng was used for, but subconsciously she didn't want to involve Changsheng, so she smiled and said, "It works. You'll know when I make it!"

This little grandson was most impatient to make needlework, so he must have bought it from Changsheng. Nian glanced at Changsheng and saw a smile in Changsheng's eyes, but she didn't show it off and put it back in the basket on her back.

"Then I'll be waiting." After saying that, he called Liu Fusheng, who had his head carved with money: "Old man, come and light the fire!"

"Hey!"

Seeing the grandpa and grandma entering the kitchen, Liu Yu held the basket on his back, dragged a bench and sat next to Chang Sheng. Taking Liu Fusheng's carving knife, he quietly leaned into Chang Sheng's ear and asked: "What are these cloths and cotton for?" use."
