Make a fortune by farming: The sweetheart of the first assistant family

Chen's people are in the kitchen, and their hearts are in the main room.

However, the head of the family is Huo Tianxiang, and Ms. Chen did not dare to go to the main room without Huo Tianxiang's permission.

Huo Yunchao came to invite her, which was exactly what Chen wanted. She came to the main room with a teapot, breaking the tense and depressed atmosphere in the main room.

Mrs. Chen poured tea first when she entered the door. After pouring the tea, she said with a smile: "Butcher Xu, this is the herbal tea picked by Chao'er. It is said that drinking a few cups in hot weather is good for your health. Butcher Xu, try it quickly."

Butcher Xu thanked Mrs. Chen and drank a cup of herbal tea, which relieved his tension a lot.

Huo Tianxiang glared fiercely at Huo Yunchao outside the door, then glared at Mrs. Chen, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

bang——

"Butcher Xu, my family Chao'er has been studying for twelve years. The total amount of training in the school alone is twelve taels, plus the expenses for pens, ink, paper, inkstones, and exams. I don't want you to ask for a betrothal gift of twenty taels." Shameful!"

Seeing Butcher Xu's calm expression, Huo Tianxiang asked bluntly with some reluctance: "Butcher Xu, can you really afford the twenty-tael betrothal gift?"

Huo Tianxiang asked so straightforwardly that Butcher Xu didn't feel offended. "Of course I can afford the betrothal gift. Brother Tianxiang, to tell you the truth, I have saved some money over the years. In addition to the betrothal gift, I can also pay for Ning Niang and the court." I want to hold a lively and festive wedding for my son. After the wedding, my family’s funds will be empty. Therefore, I have no money to support Chao’er’s education.”

"Chao'er is eighteen years old. He can read and write. If he really wants to study, he will find a way."

Huo Tianxiang never expected Butcher Xu to pay for Huo Yunchao's education, let alone such nonsense as his son-in-law being his son-in-law. If his biological father couldn't do it, how could he have the nerve to ask Butcher Xu?

I think he has worked so hard for twelve years,

No one knows better than him how hard and tiring it is to support scholars.

Mrs. Chen on the side opened her palms and looked at the calloused child. Thinking of her two biological sons, Huo Yunchao became more determined to marry into the Xu family. She was just Huo Yunchao's stepmother, and she still had the future of her two biological sons to take care of.

After agreeing on the betrothal gift, Butcher Xu said: "Brother Tianxiang, I have found a matchmaker Song in the town whose reputation is not worse than Matchmaker Fang. In two days it will be an auspicious day, and Matchmaker Song and I will come together to make the offer."

Huo Tianxiang had no objection to this.

When Mrs. Chen came out, Huo Yunchao stepped forward to greet her and asked anxiously: "Stepmother, what did my father say? How did Butcher Xu respond?"

When Mrs. Chen saw Huo Yunchao being so worried and anxious, she wanted to whet his appetite: "Chao'er, the eldest son of the landlord's family only gave Xu Ying a 10-tael betrothal gift. Your father asked for a 20-tael betrothal gift, but Xu Butcher was reluctant to give it. There are so many, what can you do?"

Huo Yunchao was so anxious that he scratched his head and scratched his head: "Stepmother, please stop tempting me! Tell me quickly, has my father promised to marry me into the family?"

Seeing Huo Yunchao's anxious and angry look, Mrs. Chen thought to herself: Xu Ning is indeed a coffin that can bring bad luck to others, but she does not have to live under the same roof as Xu Ning, and she is not Huo Yunchao's biological mother. There is no need to worry about being defeated by the coffin.

The twenty-tael betrothal gift given by the Xu family is enough to build another house for her two sons. In the future, the two brothers will live in one house each. Mrs. Chen is not afraid that her two sons will not be able to find wives.

Thinking like this, Mrs. Chen saw that Huo Yunchao was very pleasing to her eyes, and said happily: "I agree, I agree! Your father is discussing with Xu Butcher about hiring him in the future."

Huo Yun landed on the big stone hanging in his heart and returned to the stove.

Go to the room and bring the food to the table.

Huo Tianxiang sat on the main seat, and Butcher Xu sat on his left. Huo Yunchao was supposed to sit on his right, but out of courtesy he had to sit next to Butcher Xu and enthusiastically introduce the delicacies he had carefully prepared.

Butcher Xu, who was always taciturn, listened to Huo Yunchao's introduction and tasted the six dishes and one soup on the table one by one. He didn't say any words of appreciation and just nodded.

Huo Yunchao carefully observed Butcher Xu's preferences and supported his future father-in-law generously.

Huo Tianxiang looked at his eldest son who used to have high eyesight, but now he was like a spineless dog-legger paying attention to Butcher Xu. He was filled with sadness, but he was unable to change the status quo.

That's all, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings.

Thinking like this, Huo Tianxiang drank with a sad and bitter mood, one cup after another. He drank up all the wine on the table. As soon as he finished the wine, he lay on the table and snored loudly.

Huo Yunchao was dumbfounded.

He hurriedly looked through his original memory, and unexpectedly found that Huo Tianxiang's drinking capacity was poor. This pot of good wine was only about ten degrees, which was really not high.

Fortunately, Huo Tianxiang's wine was good. He would lie down and sleep when he got drunk, and he never went crazy with alcohol.

Mrs. Chen knew that Huo Tianxiang had a bad drinking ability, so she wanted to dissuade him, but seeing Huo Tianxiang's heartbroken look, she didn't say anything to dissuade him.

"Butcher Xu, Chao'er's father has a poor drinking capacity, so you're laughing at the joke." Mrs. Chen apologized, then turned to Huo Yunchao and told Huo Yunchao: "Chao'er, come here and lend a hand, and take your father back to the house."

Butcher Xu glanced at Huo Yunchao's thin arms and legs, and saw that he couldn't help the heavy Huo Tianxiang up despite all his efforts. He sighed inwardly and took the initiative to get up and carry Huo Tianxiang to the room.

Doorway.

Huo Yunchao was thick-skinned and he didn't feel embarrassed at all. He had only been here for a few days? It's obviously because the original body's physical condition is too poor!

Mrs. Chen used the excuse of taking care of Huo Tianxiang to avoid suspicion and did not return to the table.

Under Huo Yunchao's warm reception, Xu Butcher was full of wine and food. Before leaving, he only said: "Chao'er, your father and I have agreed to hire him in the future."

Huo Yunchao was happy and immediately called him dad: "Dad, please go slowly."

Butcher Xu was silent for a moment and said "Dad".

Two days passed.

As usual, Xu Ning got up before dawn, cleaned up her home and went out, and returned home to put on the new clothes her father had prepared for him.

As soon as the matchmaker Song from the town arrived, Butcher Xu put the betrothal gifts prepared in advance onto the ox cart. He led the ox in front, followed by a group of villagers who liked to watch the excitement.

Mrs. Chen was afraid that Huo Tianxiang would regret it and not admit it, so she spread the news about the Xu family's appointment everywhere.

Xu Ning's eldest sister-in-law, Mrs. Lu, didn't even bother to eat breakfast, she was just waiting to watch the show.

Butcher Xu passed by Mrs. Lu without looking sideways, pretending that this person did not exist.

Mrs. Lu was completely ignored by Butcher Xu, who did not take her as the "sister-in-law" seriously. She dared not speak out in anger.

When Butcher Xu walked away, Mrs. Lu dared to curse: "What the hell! You didn't even say hello to your sister-in-law when you saw her!"

Others didn't say anything when they heard it. Liu Lezi, who was not dealing with Huo Tianxiang and his son, squeezed in front of Mrs. Lu and said, "Sister-in-law Dadun, Butcher Xu is going to hire someone from the Huo family, but you are not invited to support the scene?"

Hearing Liu Lezi's question, Mrs. Lu's expression changed again and again. Just as she was about to say something, she was suddenly pulled by Xu Ying: "Mother Ying, what are you doing?"

Xu

Ying glanced at the teasing Liu Leizi, raised his voice and said: "The landlord's family sent people to the house, mother, please go back and take a look."

As soon as Mrs. Lu heard that the God of Wealth had come to her door, she immediately forgot about Butcher Xu and his daughter, and Le Diandian rushed home.

Liu Lezi failed to provoke him and said angrily: "You laugh, sooner or later you will cry!"
