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

Li Dongsheng made up his mind here. He thought over the words he was about to say again in his mind and felt that there were no mistakes.

He took a bamboo plate, opened a pack of pastries bought from the town, and placed it on it. Holding the white cloud cake in his hands, he walked calmly towards the small table where the village chief was sitting.

"Uncle Village Chief, I have something to ask of you here. Please help me with it!"

What the village chief said just now was just to lighten the mood and make a joke, but he didn't expect that the man in front of him really had something to support.

Then he straightened his expression and said, "Just tell me and listen!"

"Village Chief, my grandma told me many times before she passed away that I should get married and start a business as soon as possible. The old man died, and I dare not disobey. At my age, I don't want to have so many things. What I want most is stability... "

Li Dongsheng's words came to his lips, but he didn't know how to continue. It didn't matter how he was being speculated about in the online chat. Mei Xiang was upright, and he didn't want Mei Xiang to be offended by others because of him!

The village chief was so discerning that he naturally saw Li Dongsheng's hesitation. After thinking for a few moments, he said: "Just say it, I'm just here to test your tone. If you really want to make peace, I will ask your aunt to go to the woman or the woman." It’s more convenient after all for my brother’s family to make peace and for them girls to talk!”

"To be honest with the village chief, this matter has been on my mind many years ago. When I was young, I fell in love with the plum fragrance of the Liu family. Before I even came to propose marriage, the uncle of the Liu family married my daughter to someone else. My grandma has been seriously ill over the years. I don’t have time to worry too much about taking medicine!”

"When Mei Xiang returns home, I want to ask her to marry her. This has been my obsession for many years. When I live to be nearly thirty years old, I still want to have a good ending, so I asked my uncle to come and help me. I said peace, no matter what the Liu family asks for, I will agree!"

After hearing this, the village chief's expression softened. He carefully looked at the serious-looking man in front of him, and sighed again when he thought of what Hesheng had entrusted him.

"Meixiang is a good child, but I have another good girl here, and she doesn't have a child to worry about. Do you want to listen?"

"No, if the Liu family nods, we will be lucky to be together for the rest of our lives. Other girls have their own good marriages, but I don't dare to ask about Tu Tu!"

"Okay, in that case, I will make this trip for you!"

The village chief was also satisfied with Dongsheng's attitude. In this way, he could explain to Hesheng's mother that it was not because her niece was bad, but because Dongsheng himself had taken a fancy to another woman.

When Li Dongsheng heard this, his eyes and eyebrows were filled with joy. He hurriedly asked the village chief to sit down, quickly went to the west room and took out a backpack.

"Here is a set of clay figurines I brought back from Fucheng. I asked the village chief to give it to Xiaoxue for me!" As he said that, he took out four-color snacks, two jars of wine, and two sets of knee pads popular in Fucheng. The small tables are piled high.

"Ouch, that's too much. It's just a matchmaker, but it's like a low-level job offer!"

The village chief hurriedly took down some inappropriate things, leaving only four-color snacks and a set of clay figurines. He said: "The rest can be given away after the Liu family nods!"

Although it is not strange to give gifts to many people, Liu Maolin is a man who likes to get into trouble. If he were to send such things to someone else, he would probably be overjoyed, and it would also be obvious that the man was interested in him.

Liu Maolin was able to see more clearly than others. Don't think that Li Dongsheng used money to throw money at the marriage. It was a misunderstanding, which was not beautiful.

Li Dongsheng still remembered that Liu Yu asked him to bypass Liu Maolin to finalize the marriage. He quickly put back the set of knee pads that the village chief had taken away and said, "I gave this set of knee pads to the Liu family's grandpa and grandma. They are old." , wear it when you usually work, and it can also protect your knee joints!"

The village chief paused briefly, but didn't say anything.

"Okay, let's put the things at your house first. After dinner, your aunt and I will pick them up again. Then we will take them directly to the Liu family's old house!"

After the village chief finished explaining, he didn't stay much. He rushed to talk to Hesheng's mother! Hey, this is such a big deal, I just hope He Sheng Niang doesn’t take her anger out on Mei Xiang!

After seeing off the village chief, Li Dongsheng hurriedly went to the house to find a clean bamboo basket, took out a ruler bought from Fucheng and put it at the bottom.

Put the wooden box with the clay figurines at the bottom, and put a jewelry box that the village chief took away into it. Finally, put four-color snacks and a few packs of candied fruits bought from Fucheng. When the basket was full, I took another piece of blue floral muslin to cover it tightly!

. . . . . . . . . .

After dinner that day, Liu Meixiang was calculating the progress of the house. Liu Yu held up a lamp and shined a circle into the bamboo cage in the woodshed. She was relieved when she saw that the mother rat had not given birth yet.

In the yard, Liu Fusheng and Nian were talking about crop work. It was already late April, and the rapeseed pods were slowly dyeing, and harvesting could begin in two days at most.

The tattered sheets for hammering rapeseed have been patched together, and the sickle will have to be sharpened tomorrow.

Everyone was chatting, and suddenly they heard footsteps coming from outside the fence gate. Under the dim light of the stars and moon, they saw two figures approaching slowly.

"Brother, sister-in-law, what are you doing!"

A deep and hearty male voice sounded. When Liu Yu and others heard it, they saw that the village chief and his wife were coming home. They all put down their work and got up to pick it up.

Liu Yu knew that Li Dongsheng had returned home from Fucheng yesterday, and today she kept thinking about whether he would invite the village chief to his home. Now the village chief came to his house, which showed that there was no delay.

"Sister, there is no tea for the children at home. I will boil a pot of water and make a few bowls of tea!"

When Liu Yu saw Liu Meixiang standing next to Nian, she was a little at a loss and quickly grabbed her sleeves and took the opportunity to help her go away.

"There's still some more! I'll get it right now!"

Fortunately, it was dark, so Liu Meixiang hurriedly went to the main room to look for tea with a blushing face.

After she left, Nian breathed a sigh of relief and saw the village chief's wife carrying a basket and the village chief carrying two jars of wine. She still didn't understand something, so she and Liu Fusheng hurriedly invited the two of them to talk in the east room.

"You and Wan Rui's mother came home this late at night, carrying so many things, but what's the matter? As fellow villagers, if something happens, just say something, that's not the way it is!"

A light came on in the east room. After everyone took their seats, Nian looked at the gifts brought in and said.

"We are also entrusted by others to come here to protect the matchmaker. As the saying goes, it is not strange for many people to be polite. This also shows that people and children know what etiquette is!"

The village chief's wife took over the conversation with a smile.

"My Ayu is already married. I don't know who you are going to arrange a match with!"

Nian pretended not to know, thought about it for a while, and asked.

"Young Dongsheng from Liweizi, please come here to propose marriage. I hope I can marry your Mei Xiang. I wonder what you think!"

The village chief’s wife didn’t beat around the bush and said directly!

"Yeah! It's actually for my Mei Xiang, and I watched Dongsheng grow up, and he is also a good boy who knows his roots well. It's just that we, the old couple, are not the parents of this child, so I'm afraid we won't be able to make the decision!"

Nian spread his hands and said that he could not be the master of his granddaughter.

"As the saying goes, when you first marry, you should listen to your parents, and when you marry again, it's up to you. Mei Xiang and Dong Sheng were also the ones we watched grow up. It's rare to have such a good fortune now!"

The village chief's wife thought for a while and then said: "When we came, Dongsheng repeatedly asked us to convey that he sincerely wants to marry Mei Xiang. If you have any requests, just ask him. As long as he can do it, he will never refuse!"

Nian was about to speak when she suddenly saw someone outside the door. She turned around and saw that it was Xiaoxue. Her heart skipped a beat and she hurriedly waved to Xiaoxue.

He took her hand and asked her to sit next to him. Seeing the village chief and his wife look over, he sighed and said, "How about Mei Xiang? Her mother-in-law can help her make decisions, but this child is pitiful. Since I was little, my father has not cared for me, my grandparents have not loved me, and it has been so easy for me to live a happy life for two days. This makes us feel relieved!"

When the village chief's wife heard this, she carefully looked at Xiaoxue sitting next to Nian.

Although the little girl is wearing a heavy-colored indigo dress, she is very clean. There is no patch on her clothes, and her hair is neatly combed, which shows that her family takes good care of her.
