The adults in the family knew that Lin Yi was looking for a partner for a few children. The children kept it from them. They saw a lot of people every day. Occasionally, they would hear people mention how their brothers and boys were, but most of them said Most of them are boys, and most of them are not very good. Occasionally, Lin Yi, who is capable and filial, will ask a few more questions, and then slowly accumulate these impressions in his heart.

He had listened to a lot before, but he didn't pay attention to these at that time, so naturally he didn't pay attention to them. When he really paid attention, it took only a month to find that there were actually several good ones.

However, in order to prove that the words of these people are credible, Lin Yi also secretly went to investigate. Some people are as good as gold, but some people are not as good as the rumors.

In the end, Lin Yi chose two. One family opened a rice shop, and there were two shops in the county seat. There were not many people in the family. The two boys, the older one was married, and the younger one was left to go to school. After studying for two years, I went home to start a business because my studies were not very good. The two brothers have one shop and one shop. They are good at doing business. If they are determined to develop, they should be able to do well.

The other one is a scholar, Tang Yuan's classmate, but he is older than Tang Yuan in age, and now he is 20 years old. According to the age of marriage in this era, he is indeed an older youth, but he is just a scholar. He wants to marry his family. There are quite a few people who get married. A 20-year-old scholar may be able to pass the exam in a few years, and he may even be able to get an official position. Naturally, many people are looking for it.

The only son in the family, his father is still alive, but he is relatively poor. Fortunately, the scholar is not a mediocre student, so he can turn his head around. The only thing that worries Lin Yi is the scholar's father. I dislike Jingzi's background and want to remarry a scholar, or accept a younger one.

The two families, Lin Yi, asked someone to find out, and they both wanted to get married within a year.

Xiucai is a promising person, if he can treat Shizuko well, his life will not be bad in the future.

As for the rice seller, the family can still live well, but there is an older brother on top, and Lin Yi is afraid that Jingzi, an honest child, will be bullied, so he is really worried.

In the end, I spoke out and discussed with my family members to see who was more suitable.

Everyone discussed and discussed, and finally decided to sell rice. If you are bullied, you can split it up and live alone. With them watching, life must be not bad.

Lin Yi had already thought about it, if he really couldn't make it, he would rent a shop and let them sell small noodles, and he would definitely make money.

It's hard to say for the scholar, the only son, the old man must want to have more grandchildren, if it goes well, Jingzi's life will be easier, but if it doesn't go well, it's hard to say.

Although selling rice has no future in his official career, it is not bad to be able to do business anyway.

After the discussion, Lin Yi was going to ask the matchmaker to inquire about it, but there was no movement on his side, and the person came to his door first. It was probably Lin Yi who was inquiring about people recently, and there might be some rumors that let people know up.

There are many such things in the county, but there are no gossips.

The two came to the door together, the scholar and the rice seller both came, but the scholar wanted to marry Yuanxiao, and the rice seller wanted Jingzi.

Ordinarily, their Tangyuan is also a scholar. If they are married, the father of Hanzi’s family will not do anything blatantly, and the Tangyuan is still small, which is a long way to the future than a scholar. But he is still dissatisfied, but Lin Yi also I still want to ask Yuanxiao's thoughts first.

Yuan Xiao was also very surprised when he heard his father's words, "Father, didn't you tell me to remarry in two years?"

Lin Yi said: "Who told you to get married now? It's just asking if you think it's okay. If it's okay, we'll discuss it. If not, I'll drive her away."

Yuan Xiao didn't know why, so she breathed a sigh of relief, "Father, I don't think so, I want to be an obedient child, and now I don't want to marry, wash and cook for others."

Lin Yi was very pleased to hear that, "Very well, then dad will go back."

When the other party was rejected, he was obviously very surprised. The scholar's father came with him, and he was dissatisfied immediately when he heard Lin Yi's words, "My son is a scholar, and he will be a high-ranking official in the future. How can your family Is this still not worth it?"

What Lin Yi said was inappropriate at first, and he let them go back, but now he looked down on his family's scholar.

You can still be friends if you speak well, but if you don’t speak well, you can only be angry. Lin Yi shouted back, "Yuanxiao, call out the glutinous rice balls."

Not long after, the glutinous rice balls came out. Lin Yi pulled his son towards him, pointed at the glutinous rice balls and said, "Did you see it? Xiucai, your son's classmate!"

The scholar was quite polite, and he greeted Tangyuan as a salute, and Tangyuan was also very serious in front of outsiders, so he immediately returned the greeting.

The scholar's father stopped talking immediately, probably because he wanted to say something but couldn't say it.

"Everyone is of the same age, so just talk about it if you have something to say. You have to say that your son is amazing. I look down on you. I called my son out, and you stopped talking. That's fine, let's just forget about it. I It's true that I can't afford to climb up to your house, please go back!"

It might be embarrassing for Xiucai to refute his father's words, especially after seeing the glutinous rice balls, Lin Yi asked someone to leave. Xiucai probably couldn't save face, so he dragged his father away in a hurry.

After the person left, Lin Yi touched the head of the glutinous rice balls, "For your father, I will give you two extra pieces of meat for dinner."

After finishing speaking, he left and went to see Jingzi. Yuan Xiao also slipped out quietly and watched secretly with Lin Yi.

The rice seller also came with his son along with his father and a matchmaker, and the family would talk a lot. Those who do business need some eloquence, and they didn't feel that they looked down on Liu Xizi, and the boy was very polite to Liu Xizi.

Generally speaking, it looked pretty good. Liu Zizi didn't say anything and said that he would ask Jingzi. Besides, the other party didn't have any opinions. He thought it would be best if the two children could take a fancy to it, and said they would come back in a few days.

When they were going out, Liu Zizi wanted to see them off, but the other party didn't say anything about their inconvenient legs, and sent them all the way to the door.

If there is no comparison, you may not be able to notice anything, but once there is a comparison, it will be a matter of opinion.

Everyone in the family has a good opinion of selling rice, and it depends on whether Jingzi agrees or not.

Jingzi also saw people behind, and seeing that most of them were waiting for his words, she blushed and nodded, "I think it's pretty good."

In a word, it's settled.

The rice seller came again a few days later, the two parties agreed on the marriage, and let the two children meet, and it felt good.

Just wait for them to develop slowly, and when they are suitable, they can discuss the date and arrange the marriage.

Jingzi has already started to prepare for the marriage. If she doesn't get married anytime soon, she has to prepare all the things that need to be prepared in advance, so as not to be too late and unable to get things out.

The rest of the family are also preparing a dowry for him, Jingzi, and trying to save face for Jingzi.

The family has saved a lot of money in the past few years, most of which came from food luck. Lin Yi simply divided the money among everyone and asked everyone to prepare things.

The adults are busy, the children have no worries, only Yuan Xiao finds it boring to do anything, and he starts to think about Xu Xiaoye, a person he is about to forget.

And he only found out that he had been back for several months, and he didn't know how Xiaoye Xu was doing now.

He wanted to see him, but Yuan Xiao also knew that it was impossible, it was impossible for Master Xu to come to the county seat, and he would never go to the prefectural city again. It is impossible to do something like running away from home once and never do it again.

So Yuan Xiao hid him in his heart again. He didn't know how long he could hide, but he wanted to hide until the day he couldn't hide.

……

Not long after, it was the New Year's day again, and the family celebrated their birthdays one after another. After getting busy, they didn't seem to think much about other things.

After they arrived in the county, they would go back to Hedong Village and Linhe Town every New Year's Eve. They stayed in houses in the village for a few days and paid New Year's greetings to the people in the village before returning to the county.

After coming to the county seat, I met a lot of people, and I also want to go to pay New Year's greetings. After they finish eating, it will already be the Lantern Festival, and they will celebrate his birthday with him.

This year's birthday Lantern Festival made a wish. He wants to have someone who can love him and love him. They can live a good life just like his father. They can open a small shop together, and he can also cook. , Maybe the business is not as good as food, but it is no problem to feed themselves.

Then have a few more children, watch them grow up day by day, read and write, bicker and play, just like him with glutinous rice balls and dumplings.

It was his most daring wish, and he wished he could achieve it.

After the new year, the rice sellers came to Liu Zizi and Lin An to discuss Jingzi's marriage, and planned to have the marriage done this year. This year Jingzi is sixteen, one year older than last year.

The rice seller is no longer called a rice seller in the Lin family, they call him Jingzi's future husband.

The two children got along well. Lin An and Liu Xizi didn't object, and Lin Yi didn't say anything. The two families set the wedding date in May.

By this time, it was Zheng Yu who started to worry about Yuan Xiao's marriage. He was the same age as Jing Zi, and Jing Zi was about to get married. The rest of the family were also worried, and only Lin Yi and Yuan Xiao were not in a hurry.

It's just that I didn't see the right one, and it's useless to worry.

At the beginning of March, a young man came to Lin Yi's pharmacy. He was dressed like a rich man. He was humble and polite, and he was also a good-looking talent. He brought a burden and said he was looking for Yuanxiao.

Except for the word Yuanxiao, he didn't know anything else, and he even found out about the pharmacy.

As soon as Lin Yi heard that someone was looking for Yuan Xiao, he became vigilant.

"Who are you? Where are you from? Why are you looking for Yuanxiao? Do you know each other?"

The other party didn't think that Lin Yi had a lot of questions, and answered with an excellent attitude, "My name is Xu Chengcai, and I'm from Fucheng. We met in Fucheng. I want to meet him."

In Fucheng, if the surname is Xu, then only the young master Yuan Xiao mentioned, "You are young master Xu?"

Xu Xiaoye didn't expect that the other party really knew him, and he was a little surprised and delighted, "It's really good, are you from Yuanxiao?"

Lin Yi sneered in his heart, this kid didn't even know who he was, and he wanted to come to see their brother, it was too beautiful to think.

Lin Yi chased people away directly: "Go, go, there is no one you are looking for here, and there is no one called Yuan Xiao."

Young Master Xu didn't believe it, and was anxious, "But you know who I am, so why don't you know Yuan Xiao?"

Lin Yi also laughed, "Then I can't hear your name from other people? Isn't everyone knows Xiaoye Xu's name in Fucheng?"

Xu Xiaoye obviously didn't expect this possibility, but it's reasonable to think about it, after all, it's really rare in Fucheng not to know people.

"So, have you figured it out now? If you figure it out, hurry up and leave, don't delay people coming to see a doctor."

Xu Xiaoye looked at the pharmacy that didn't have any patients, and didn't quite understand how Lin Yi said this.

Although he is usually good at speaking, but now he is not sure what Lin Yi's identity is, and he doesn't dare to offend others by talking nonsense, so he holds back.

He walked out of the pharmacy, and turned around to see the food delivery from next door. As if he had found hope, Mr. Xu immediately went to look at the pastries sold in the snack shop. He remembered all the pastries he had eaten, especially the one with only one piece. It makes the memory even more profound.

Xu Xiaoye went to order a portion of the cakes he had eaten, and then he didn't leave. Seeing a stool at the door of the pharmacy, he sat down and ate the cakes.

As soon as he entered, Mr. Xu knew he couldn't go wrong. This is what Yuan Xiao said. This is his snack shop. Mr. Xu became more determined not to leave, so he sat and waited at the door of the drug store. Mr. Xu thought, He can always wait.

But Lin Yicai inside was depressed, kicked people out, turned around and went to take care of his family's business, and sat at the door and didn't leave, and he couldn't drive people away when people were eating his pastries at the door, it was not kind Second, I am afraid that the news will affect the business.

But in my heart, I can't wait to drive people away immediately.

It's just that he didn't wait for him to drive people away, but let him see them first.

At noon, Yuan Xiao came out to ask Lin Yi to have dinner. Before entering the door, he saw Xu Chengcai at the door. Yuan Xiao immediately called out in surprise, "Xu Xiaoye, why are you here?"

"Yuanxiao?" Mr. Xu was happily eating the cakes, thinking that it would be nice to meet people when he could, but he didn't expect the people to appear before the cakes were finished.

Xu Xiaoye threw the pastry, stood up and walked to Yuan Xiao, "Yuan Xiao, I'm here to find you."

Apart from accidents, Yuanxiao was an accident. How could she expect to meet someone in the county town.

But without saying a few words, Lin Yi called the two of them in together, and then called the rest of the family to let Xu Xiaoye explain the matter clearly.

"You mean you started to split up with your family after Yuanxiao came back from Fucheng? And now you have finally split up, so you brought all your property to look for Yuanxiao?" After listening to Xu Xiaoye's words, Lin Yi gave him a summary.

"Um...it seems that you can say the same thing." Xu Xiaoye said.

But it might be better to speak separately.

At that time, Mr. Xu felt uncomfortable after hearing Yuan Xiao say that he was going back. He didn't want people to leave but he didn't know how to keep them, so he said impulsively to drive Yuan Xiao away, and he went home angrily .

He didn't expect that Yuan Xiao would really leave like this. Master Xu wanted to chase him, but his family disagreed, saying that he had already arranged a marriage for him and let him get married at home obediently. No, then his elder brother came to give him an idea, asking him to raise the matter of dividing the family.

Mr. Xu is not a fool either, so he naturally knows what his big brother means. He just wants to drive him out of the house so that he can't compete with him for family property. An incompetent prodigal, he just didn't want to compete with his elder brother, but his elder brother was just worried, and had such an idea.

Of course, this just happened to make Xu Xiaoye fulfill his wish, and the family would be separated as soon as they were separated.

Mr. Xu mentioned it, not only mentioned it, but also confessed to his elder brother, and cheated him severely. He insisted on making a fuss about separating the family, saying that he was afraid that his elder brother would kill him one day. Dad just agreed, it took half a year from last year to this year.

He didn't want anything from the shop and the house, he just wanted a bank note, and once the job was completed, he ran to Nanhe County to find someone.

Lin Yi looked at Xu Xiaoye very disliked, "Why are you looking for Yuan Xiao?"

Master Xu knows that Lin Yi is Yuan Xiao's father, and he will be his father in the future, so he respects him, "Uncle Lin, I'm here to propose, Uncle Lin, I want to marry Yuan Xiao, and now I have nothing to worry about. , Everything I have belongs to Yuanxiao, I promise to be good to Yuanxiao, if he asks me to go east, I will never go west, if he asks him to kneel, I will never stand up."

Lin Yi was very angry, "Then what if I disagree?"

"I'll just ask until you agree!" Master Xu was also very firm.

Lin Yi was going to die of anger, he still wanted to play a rogue, he looked at Yuan Xiao, "What do you say?"

Yuan Xiao remembered the promise he had made with his father, and said obediently, "Father, I will obey you."

Lin Yi finally felt better, and then looked at Master Xu and smiled coldly, "Very well, I don't want my family Yuan Xiao to wash, cook, sweep and serve you after marrying you, so you should think carefully before answering!"

Then Master Xu thought it over, stayed at Lin's house and started to learn to wash, cook, sweep and serve others.

It wasn't until a long time later that Master Xu's cooking skills surpassed Yuan Xiao's before he nodded in satisfaction, "Very good, serve Yuan Xiao well!"
