Song female man

After the guests were invited, Shunniang and the old lady and sister-in-law hurriedly put together the remaining dishes. Mrs. Liu said that luckily the weather was cooler now, otherwise they would not be able to eat the next day.Because the dishes that Shun Niang cooked today were delicious and there was not much left, Mrs. Liu explained that she didn't need to cook tomorrow, and she could take care of them for a day.

Looking at the plates and chopsticks on the table, Shunniang went to get a wicker basket to put the plates and bowls borrowed from the Xie family next door, and put the rest on the table.

It was getting dark, and Shun Niang said that my mother and sister-in-law are tired today, and everyone should rest earlier, and tomorrow we will boil some water to wash the dishes and bowls.

Liu Shi and Qi Shi nodded in agreement, and then went to the backyard to wash up together, and went back to rest.

Shunniang was exhausted from cooking today, her head was stuck to the pillow, and she fell asleep after a while.

In the middle of the night, the Xie family next door slaughtered pigs, but Shunniang was not woken up until the next morning, when the morning light and the sound of the city came in through the crack of the door, and she slowly woke up.Originally, she wanted to get up early to go fishing in the morning, and then pick up a load of firewood and go to the city to see Sister Song Yu today, but after sleeping until this hour, it was obvious that she couldn't go.She looked upstairs and thought to herself, probably the old lady and sister-in-law were tired from the treats yesterday, so they slept as soundly as she did. They were not woken up by Xie's slaughtering pigs in the middle of the night, and they haven't woken up yet.

Since she can't go to the city today, Shunniang thought, she might as well take a day off and take care of the family affairs.

For example, after getting up and eating breakfast, I have to help my sister-in-law wash the dishes together, and take the cleaned dishes back to Xie's family. Next, she is going to buy some soybeans and mung beans today. , as well as wicker baskets for growing bean sprouts, you have to buy them according to the amount that can produce twenty or thirty catties of bean sprouts... Finally, of course, I want to meet Xiaojiali in private, return the handkerchief she gave me yesterday, and tell her clearly Issues.

Thinking of this last matter, Shun Niang actually found it very difficult.

After all, she is also a woman, and she grew up from a girl as big as Xie Xiaojiao. She can appreciate what it feels like to be a girl in Huaichun.

Shunniang remembers that she first fell in love with a female teacher in junior high school who was assigned to teach history in her school right after graduating from college. Age, it doesn't matter whether it's a secret love, or a young girl Huaichun.She cared very much about that female teacher, and the female teacher's attention to her eyes could make her excited for a long time. If her history homework was crossed by the female teacher, she would also be sad for a long time.

If she meets Little Pepper and says no in front of her, Little Pepper will definitely feel very ashamed and sad.

She could even imagine how much courage Little Pepper had mustered to secretly slip the handkerchief in her hand to herself. Shunniang even felt that Little Pepper, a girl 1000 years ago compared to the era she wore, was fourteen years older than herself. When I was five years old, I had more courage.

If Little Pepper was crying, Shunniang hesitated even more when she thought of the scene where she held the door and looked at the sparkle in her eyes, and her heart softened immediately.

If you ask her if she likes Chili Pepper in her heart, Shunniang thinks that she still likes her a little bit, like her innocence, and her sweetness, but these likes are only faint, not strong enough for her to risk revealing her identity Besides, Shunniang decided that Xiaojiali only liked Xi Erlang, not Xi Shunniang.

The Xi family has just established a foothold in Yangliu Town, and the family's livelihood is completely on Shunniang's shoulders, and she cannot tolerate any mistakes.

Therefore, when she held the handkerchief that Xiaojiali gave her yesterday, she quickly made up her mind that she would never provoke Xiaojiali, so as not to cause irreparable harm to others.In fact, Shunniang also thought that if Xiaojiali liked herself as Xi Shuniang, then she might respond to Xiaojiali's feelings for her.

But it was only if, she secretly smiled bitterly in her heart.

At first, Shunniang decided to tell Xiaojiali in person, but thinking that rejecting Xiaojiali in person would make her even more embarrassed and sad, she couldn't bear it, so she changed her mind immediately and wanted her sister-in-law to take away the little pepper yesterday. Pepper returned the handkerchief that Pepper had stuffed for her, and asked her sister-in-law to send a message to Pepper indirectly, that she didn't want to think about personal matters right now.But then Shunniang also thought that her sister-in-law knew about this matter, and she was afraid that she would worry about herself again because she was timid, and if she asked her sister-in-law to tell Xiaojiali that she rejected her, would Xiaojiali be more embarrassing? ?

Hey, what a dilemma.

Shunniang tossed and turned on the bed, a little upset, thinking, or just pretend to be stupid and pretend nothing happened, or let her see that she was having a relationship with other women, and she would break the relationship. A kind of thinking that likes oneself, retreated despite the difficulties.

Not to mention, when Shunniang thought of the latter method, she suddenly felt that it was a good way. It would not only avoid embarrassing and saddening her by refusing in front of Xiaojiali, but also make Xiaojiali no longer like her. Own.

However, the question came up again, which suitable woman should I find to act in this play?

The Xi family had just moved to Yangliu Town, and she didn't know any girls who were about the same age as Xiaojiao, so Xiaojiao misunderstood her.

For the first time, Shunniang, who had changed the core, was thinking about things until her brain ached.

There was a sound of going downstairs, and Liu's voice came from the stairs: "Erlang, are you still asleep?"

Shunniang got up from the bed and replied, "No, I'm awake."

Mrs. Liu came down from the stairs, went to Shunniang's bed and opened the curtain to ask her if she was not chopping firewood today or going into the city.

Shunniang said yes, because she went to bed late, she arranged some other things at home today, and went to the city tomorrow.

Mrs. Qi also went downstairs at this time. She rolled up her sleeves and went to clean up the unwashed dishes from last night. Shun Niang got out of bed to get dressed, opened the door, went to the backyard, took a bucket and a pole, opened the door. Through the door on the courtyard wall, go to fetch water from the well in the Xie family's big courtyard next door.

The busy guys over there greeted her when they saw her. Shunniang picked up water and put it in her own bucket, when suddenly she heard a childish voice calling him Brother Xi.

Shunniang looked up and saw Xiaojiali holding her younger brother He Sanlang at the door of Xie's kitchen, looking straight at herself.

Because the younger brother suddenly called out to Shunniang, she was seen by Shunniang, and she became shy all of a sudden, and dragged He Sanlang into the kitchen again.

Shunniang opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything, such a little pepper... She felt that she couldn't say no to her in front of her no matter what.

Carrying water back to the small yard rented by Xi's family, Shunniang bolted the small door, carried the water to the kitchen and poured it into the big water tank in the corner, Qi's came in to heat the water, and waited until the water was hot Then, I scooped out the water with Shun Niang and washed the dishes and chopsticks together.

Mrs. Qi asked Shunniang if she wanted to boil more water to take a bath. Yesterday, Shunniang sweated a lot while cooking. Shunniang nodded and said that she must take a bath today. Yesterday was too late and too tired to move.

The sister-in-law and the sister-in-law were talking, when someone came in from the kitchen door, greeted Shunniang with a smile, and asked her why she didn't go to the city today to sell firewood.

"Lu Quan?" Shunniang didn't have to look to see who it was, but she could tell it was Lu Quan's voice, but she was a little surprised. Lu Quan always sleeps until the sun is high before getting up. Why did he get up so early today? I ran to Xi's house.

So Shunniang asked him if he came here so early for dinner?

Lu Quan laughed like a joke: "How do you know? It seems that the second brother is a worm in my stomach!"

Shunniang shook her head slightly, and while washing the dishes, she muttered: "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. Tell me, why are you here?"

Lu Quan had already walked into the Xi's kitchen, rolled up his sleeves as he walked, reached into the basin where Shun Niang was washing the dishes, and rushed to wash the dishes, he said: "I knew you invited guests yesterday, this time The dishes must be kept for washing today, so I came here to help, and also, the tables and chairs outside have to be returned to Xie’s family, I will help you carry them later..."

Shunniang stopped washing the dishes, looked at Lu Quan, and felt that the sun was really coming out from the west, but she didn't believe what Lu Quan said even if she was beaten to death.

Frowning, Shunniang slowly washed the dishes, wondering what was going on with Lu Quan.

Soon, she discovered the clue. It turned out that this Lu Quan was doing work with his hands and talking to himself several times, but out of the corner of his eye, he looked at his sister-in-law who was lighting a fire in front of the stove.Shunniang remembered what Lu Quan said about his sister-in-law when drinking and eating last night, and she suddenly became enlightened.

She got it!

Lu Quan turned out to be interested in his own sister-in-law, and took advantage of the opportunity of coming to help, trying to hook up with her.

This color embryo!

Shunniang felt that she would never approve of Lu Quan hooking up with her sister-in-law, let alone hooking up, even if she seriously wanted to marry her sister-in-law, she would not agree.Because Lu Quan is young, he eats, drinks, prostitutes, and gambles. If there is cigarettes in this era, he can add another smoking, which is full of five poisons.

At the beginning, I became a brother with him because I wanted to check and balance Zhao Sanlang next door, otherwise, with Lu Quan's virtue, she would never deal with him.It's just that after befriending him as a brother, Shunniang also felt that apart from those bad habits, Lu Quan treated her pretty well, he was generous and loyal, and as a friend who didn't have a deep friendship, she could still keep in touch.

But her sister-in-law is a virtuous and weak person. Even if she wants to remarry, Shunniang thinks that she should be a mature, stable, skilled man, or a man who can do business, so that her sister-in-law can live a stable life without worrying about food and clothing.A man like Lu Quan, who wanders around all day and doesn't know what to do, really wants to be with his sister-in-law, and he can't make her family worry all day long.It can be said that Shunniang felt that a virtuous man like Lu Quan was not worthy of his sister-in-law at all.

Thinking of this, of course she wanted to prevent Lu Quan from getting in touch with her sister-in-law, so she immediately pushed Lu Quan away, saying that this is the kitchen, and a man like Lu Quan should not come here, because the work in the kitchen is done by a woman like her sister-in-law That's it.

Dragging Lu Quan to the outside room, she asked Lu Quan to help her carry the tables and chairs from Xie's family that she borrowed yesterday, saying that this kind of work is what Lu Quan should do.

Lu Quan was dragged out by Shunniang without seeing Qi Shi, of course he was not happy, but he couldn't say anything to refute Shunniang's words, so he had to reluctantly follow what Shunniang said to carry the table, chairs and benches with her to thank her. Home.

The Xie family saw that Lu Quan was moving tables, chairs and benches with Shunniang so early, and they all felt like the sun came out from the west, just like Shunniang.

When Mrs. Wu saw her, she asked Lu Quan if he was ill. Xie Erniang smiled and agreed with her mother's words. Lu Quan laughed and said that this was the result of his parents teaching him, and he also wanted to change his ways.

"If you can learn three points from Xi Erlang, your parents will never scold you again." Wu Shi said, "It's just that the prodigal son will not change his money when he returns. You are still young, there is still time to learn well, work hard!"

Lu Quan nodded with a stiff smile.

After finishing the work, Shunniang sent Lu Quan home, saying that there was no work to do here, and he could go back and rest.

Lu Quandao: "I helped you with the morning's work, shouldn't you treat me to a morning meal?"

Shunniang took out ten Wen coins, stuffed them into his hand, and asked him to go to a shop selling breakfast not far in front to eat. The house was full of leftover food from yesterday, so I was really embarrassed to entertain Lu Quan. Push it out the door.

Of course Lu Quan didn't want to ask for Shunniang's money, and he didn't want to leave. He went straight to the kitchen in the backyard of Xi's house. He wanted to see Qi's more.

Yesterday, I came to Xi's house for a drink. When he saw Qi Shi for the first time, he fell in love with her. Later, Qi Shi came to scoop up soup for everyone. He deliberately raised his hand to let the bowl of soup spill on himself. Qi Shi When taking out a handkerchief to wipe the soup on his body, Lu Quan felt that wherever her hand rubbed, there was a burst of numbness.Moreover, as the distance got closer, he could see Qi's appearance more clearly, with two curved slender eyebrows, an oval face, pale lips, hair like a crow's feathers, and a low eyebrow that was pleasing to the eye, indescribably gentle and amiable.

Lu Quan usually comes into contact with glamorous and coquettish women, and he rarely comes into contact with a beautiful and gentle woman from a good family like Qi's.Although he didn't say a word to Mrs. Qi, Lu Quan felt that Mrs. Qi hit his heart so straightly. Mrs. Qi is a married woman who has given birth to two children. It's different, there is a mature woman's charm in every gesture, which also attracts Lu Quan.That's why he purposely said something to Shunniang later on, just to find out if Xi's family restrained the Qi family and prevented her from remarrying. He wanted to know if the Qi family was really willing to be a widow for his brother Xi Erlang who died.

When Xi Erlang told her that the Qi family was not restricted by the Xi family, and that the Qi family could remarry if they wanted, she couldn't help being overjoyed.

After he went back last night, he tossed in bed for half the night, thinking about Qi Shi all the time. He felt that he was infatuated with Qi Shi and fell in lovesickness for her.Although he didn't sleep well all night, he woke up early in the morning, washed up in a hurry, changed into a robe that he thought he was wearing in a suave style, and excitedly went straight to Xi's house to see Mrs. Qi.

As soon as he saw her lighting a fire in the kitchen, the fire in the kitchen reflected her oval face, adding a layer of warmth and tenderness, his heart melted...

Later, he rushes to help Xi Erlang with work, but he just wants to stay in Xi's house for a while, and pay more attention to the Qi family.

But what is annoying is that Xierlang always wreaks havoc, first pushes him out of the kitchen, then drags him to carry the tables and chairs back to Xie's house, and then doesn't even invite him to eat breakfast at Xie's house. He opened the door for him, and gave him ten cents to eat at a shop that sells breakfast.

Shunniang didn't care whether he wanted to or not, she pushed him out of the door with all her strength, and in order to prevent him from coming in to pester her again, she simply closed the door, saying that she was tired and had to sleep for a while, so that Lu Quan could sleep on her own. convenient.

Lu Quan slapped the door angrily and asked Shunniang to open the door. He didn't want Shunniang's money.

Shunniang told him through the door, don't be too polite, hurry up and have breakfast, this breakfast was invited by herself.

At this time, Mrs. Liu went downstairs with her two children. Seeing Shun Niang talking to Lu Quan outside through the door, she asked her what she was doing.

Shunniang put her fingers up on her lips, signaling her to stop talking, then tiptoed over, picked up Kecheng, and pushed her into the backyard.In the backyard, Shunniang told her that she didn't like getting too close to Lu Quan, and she didn't want Lu Quan to stay at Xi's house.

Liu said: "Aren't you sworn brothers with him? How can you say this, so you won't be afraid that he will be annoyed?"

Shunniang said that she was not afraid, and she said that a foreigner like Lu Quan stayed at Xi's house all the time, which would damage his sister-in-law's reputation.

After saying this, Mrs. Liu understood completely, and murmured in a low voice: "It's not the women of our family. No matter who the men are, it's better not to come to the house."

Lu Quan couldn't open the door when he was outside, so he walked away sullenly holding the ten cents Shunniang gave him. Fortunately, I got up so early and helped him with work.In addition, he thought, could it be that what Xi Erlang said yesterday was insincere? The Xi family didn't care about Qi's remarriage. Looking at it like this today, it is obvious that Qi's control is very tight. Is it true that Qi is really and Xi Erlang's little uncle? Is there something unclear?

But thinking of Qi's gentle and amiable appearance in a blink of an eye, Lu Quan felt that she would never have anything to do with Xi Erlang. Besides, his character of sworn brother Xi Erlang was nothing to say, so he thought it must be someone else. What Kijiro said today was good, you can't treat him to leftovers, and Kijiro wants to catch up on sleep, after all, he was exhausted from treating guests yesterday.

Lonely, Lu Quan ran to really take the ten Wen money Shunniang gave him to have breakfast, and then went home and climbed into bed to catch up on sleep.

His mother, Mrs. Li, felt strange when she saw this, thinking what happened to her son who was not motivated, she got up early in the morning and ran out, and when she came back, she looked listless and went back to sleep.

After Lu Quan left, Shunniang went back into the kitchen to help her sister-in-law with work, boiling water, cooking porridge, kneading noodles, and steaming cakes.

The whole family had breakfast, Shun Niang took a bath, and asked Mrs. Qi to boil water. The whole family went to take a bath and changed into clean clothes. This was considered to be a new life.

Shunniang went to pick up another load of water and came back to wash clothes for Mrs. Qi, and then took the money to go out to buy mung beans, soybeans, and baskets for growing bean sprouts.

She went to Xie's house to borrow a wheelbarrow, pushed it to the rice noodle shop, bought twenty catties of mung beans, ten catties of soybeans, pushed them back, and moved into the empty room behind where the bean sprouts were growing.Then she went to a shop not far ahead that sold farm tools, groceries and other items to buy baskets.

As soon as they entered the room, a yellow-skinned woman in her forties came out. The woman claimed that her husband's family name was Hu, and everyone called her Mrs. Hu. She asked Shun Niang what she wanted.

Shunniang said that she wanted to buy a few wicker baskets, and Madam Hu took her to see the wicker baskets piled up in the store, telling her about the big and small ones, how much this one is, and how much that one is, and asked her to buy these wicker baskets What did the basket come for, Shunniang told her that she was going to grow seeds.

As soon as Mrs. Hu heard it, she recommended the wicker basket made of red willow, which is very strong and not easy to break when soaked in water.

Before, Shunniang estimated that a wicker basket could put two catties of soaked beans in it, and there would be at least eleven or two catties of bean sprouts. She planned to distribute four catties of mung beans and two catties of soybeans in each batch, so three wicker baskets would be needed. .According to the average of four to five days for mung bean sprouts and soybean sprouts to be harvested, at least twelve to fifteen baskets are needed to catch them.Shunniang said that she needed fifteen wicker baskets. The baskets were originally worth ten cents each, but Mrs. Hu said that because Shunniang bought a lot, she counted them for eight cents each, and she asked Shunniang to go back first. She would send it to Xi's family in person, and she smiled and asked Shun Niang if she just moved here. In the past, she used to pass by her shop carrying firewood and fish.

Shunniang pointed to the room on the left of Xie's butcher's shop in front of her and said, that's where she lived, and she just moved in the day before yesterday.

Mrs. Hu said that her grocery store was only four stores away from Shun's mother's house, which was just two pairs of doors. She asked Shun's mother to go back first. After a while, her official's new goods arrived home, including newly woven wicker Baskets, she will find fifteen of the best ones for Shun Niang to send.

The proprietress is so enthusiastic about hospitality, what else can Niang Shun say besides thank you.

After paying the money, Shunniang went home empty-handed. Seeing that she came back empty-handed, her mother asked her why she went out to buy baskets but didn't buy them back. Shunniang had to tell her what happened in the grocery store in front of her. Listen, she said that the proprietress, Mrs. Hu, wanted to deliver it to her door herself, so she left it to her.

Mrs. Liu was amazed that there was such an enthusiastic proprietress, and suspected that Shunniang gave the money, but after a while, Mrs. Hu refused to send it. In that way, Shunniang was cheated.

Shunniang laughed when she heard this, and said about the 120 Wen, Mrs. Hu is a local resident, so do you need to lie to yourself?

Mrs. Liu shook her head and stopped talking, probably she also felt that what her daughter said made sense, whoever cheated people for 120 Wen, even if the Xi family was so poor, they would not renege on their debts for 120 Wen.

Shunniang went to the backyard to start weighing beans. She planned to give out four catties of mung beans and two catties of soybeans. Each time the bean sprouts came out, it was about thirty or forty catties. Then she went to the city every day to send ten catties to Sister Song Yu's hotel, and the rest Some people just set up a stall to sell in front of their own door.

Mrs. Qi came over while she was weighing beans, and asked Shun Niang what to do if she couldn't sell all the beans she weighed. According to her idea, three catties of mung beans and one catty of soybeans would be enough.In this way, at the beginning, except for the goods delivered to Sister Song Yu’s hotel, Xijia’s retail sales were only about eleven or two catties. Even if they didn’t sell much, they could cook their own food.After all, at the beginning of this seed business, I don't know how many people are willing to buy it.

After listening to this, Shunniang felt that what the sister-in-law said was reasonable, and she didn't want to post too much to sell it. The family ate bean sprouts for three meals, and they would vomit.

She poured the weighed beans back, weighed them again, and asked her sister-in-law to boil some warm water, and the beans would be fermented later.

Shunniang weighed [-] catties of mung beans, and [-] catties of soybeans came out, and put them in a wooden basin and a wooden bucket respectively, and waited for the sister-in-law to boil some warm water, tested the temperature of the water with her hands, and poured the water in to soak.The sister-in-law and the sister-in-law were busy with their work, only to hear the old lady chatting and laughing with others, and came to the back yard.

"Erlang, Mrs. Hu has brought baskets to our family!" Mrs. Liu shouted to Shunniang from far away.

Shunniang turned to look over, and saw Mrs. Hu came in with a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, each holding seven or eight overlapping wicker baskets.

Seeing this situation, Shunniang hurriedly put down the work she was doing, went over to help Madam Hu and the girl take over and put down the baskets they were holding, and asked them to bring them over in person.

Mrs. Hu smiled and said that just a few steps away, everyone is neighbors, Xi's family takes care of their business, and they should have sent it to Xi's family.

While talking, Mrs. Hu looked around, and finally praised the small yard for its neatness.

She went to look at the beans that Shunniang had soaked, and then asked how many kinds of beans would be grown in so many wicker baskets. Shunniang said it was about thirty to fifty catties. After hearing this, Mrs. Hu sighed again and praised Shunniang for her ability.Then she went to talk to Mrs. Liu again, asking round and round about how old Shun Niang was, and whether she was engaged.

Mrs. Liu was quite proud to say that Shunniang was sixteen at the beginning. When Mrs. Hu asked if Shunniang was engaged, she immediately noticed the fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl next to Mrs. Hu, who had an oval face and apricot eyes and was dressed in red The girl in the dress thought to herself, could this girl be the daughter of Mrs. Hu, and she brought her daughter over to ask if Shunniang had ever been engaged in order to marry her daughter to the "Erlang" of her family.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Liu became cautious, and said to Mrs. Hu: "My Erlang made a baby marriage with a little lady from a family named Lin in the village when I was young. When I return to Xijiazhuang, I will definitely marry that little lady. of."

"Oh?" Mrs. Hu raised her eyebrows when she heard that, and the smile on her face faded, but soon she said, "Look at you who are renting houses and growing seeds, I'm afraid it will take three to five years." Nei can’t go back. According to me, since I came to Yangliu Town to settle down and do business, why bother to go back to the village. Farming in the village is much more difficult than doing business in the city. Also, your Erlang is sixteen , the young lady of the Lin family must be at least thirteen or fourteen years old, you can't go back for three to five years, can people wait for you for so long, don't delay their daughter, it is a serious matter to retire early..."

When she said this, Mrs. Liu confirmed the guess in her heart. The lady Hu from the grocery store across the street really came for her family's "Erlang", and wanted to ask "Erlang" to withdraw from her marriage, and then marry her daughter The baby got married.

Mrs. Liu took another look at the girl who came with Mrs. Hu, and felt that she was not bad looking. It is also possible to get married with the girl in front of me.It's a pity that Shunniang is a tomboy who disguises herself as a man, and she must never marry someone's little lady.

So she said that they are all people from the village, how can they say that if they retire, they will retire. Although Xi's family has settled down in Yangliu Town, in a year or two, they still want to marry the little lady of the Lin family. It's a big deal. After getting married, just bring her to live in Yangliu Town.

Having said that, Mrs. Hu had nothing to say, she chatted a few more gossips with Mrs. Liu, then left Xi's house with her daughter Xinghua, and went back to her own shop.

As soon as Xinghua went out, she blamed her mother and insisted on pulling herself to see Erlang Xi's family. As a result, Xi Erlang was already engaged to be married, so if he ran away so eagerly, wouldn't it make people laugh at him for wanting to catch up with him? Want to marry Xi Erlang, today's face is really too great.

After finishing speaking, he stepped up angrily, left Mrs. Hu and went home.

Mrs. Hu told her to wait, but she didn't listen.

This scene happened to fall into the eyes of Mrs. Wu from the Xie's butcher shop next door. She happened to come out to watch the clerk sell butcher, and saw Mrs. Hu from the grocery store coming out of Xi's house with her daughter Xinghua.

Xinghua's age is about the same as her daughter Xie Erniang's, who will reach the age of Ji in the coming year. This made Wu suddenly think that Mrs. Hu brought her daughter to visit Xi's house, maybe she wanted to marry her daughter to Xi Erlang.Yesterday I went back after having a banquet at Xi's house. Mrs. Wu praised Xi Erlang for a long time, saying that he is capable, hardworking, and good at cooking. Now that he is going to start a farming business again, any young lady will marry him for sure. Is to enjoy the blessings.In addition, Kijiro is also a good-looking talent, to be honest, he is also polite when talking to people.

Xie Yi heard it, and said sourly from the side that Xi Erlang is so good, does Wu wish to be born ten years later so that he can marry him.

When Wu Shi heard this, she laughed angrily, went up and pulled Xie Yi's ear, saying that he was not too young, how could he say such nonsense.

Xie Yi is a big man, he looks like a rabbit in front of his wife, as soon as his wife grabs his ears, he will scream like a pig, begging for mercy.

Wu shi finally let go of his hand after pulling enough, saying that if Xie Yi dared to talk nonsense again, he would pull off his ears.

Xie Yi rubbed his ears and hummed for a while, then asked Wu if the mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law, and the more she watched her, the more she liked Xijia Erlang.

Mrs. Wu smiled silently, and told Xie Yi quietly: "Don't say it, the slave family really likes him. If he does that kind of business for a few years, I will entrust a matchmaker to go to Xi's house, so that Our second mother and Xi Erlang have made a marriage agreement. In the coming year, when my second mother reaches Ji, I will pick an auspicious day for them to get married. As long as my second mother is married, there will be one less thing on my mind , only Saburo's business is left..."

Xie Yi said that she was really worried, Sanlang was still young, and it would take ten or eight years for him to marry a wife, and now it is serious to help the youngest daughter find a good son-in-law, but he also agreed with Wu's opinion He thinks that Xijia Erlang next door is a good young man, and it would be considered a good marriage if his second mother promises him. He asked Mrs. Wu to keep a close eye on Xijia Erlang, and don't let other women snatch it. A son-in-law.

Mrs. Wu heard about it at the time, and said that Xie Yi was just worrying about it. She said that there were very few girls on this street who looked like her second mother and had good furniture and property. A family with a daughter would not easily marry their daughter to him, and only a family like the Xie family who does not care about money but only cares about others will rob him of his son-in-law.It's hard to say for a long time, but she is confident that by the New Year, Kijiro will not be robbed by anyone.

Now that I think about it, what I said last night is still in my ears, but now there really is a family who wants to snatch her son-in-law from her, Wu Shi only feels that she has slapped her own mouth.

With a thought, she immediately went up to greet Mrs. Hu who was passing by the butcher shop. After greeting her, she asked her what she was doing when she came out of Xi's house.

Mrs. Hu was also acquainted with Mrs. Wu, and would stop and chat for a while when they met her. Now, after hearing Mrs. Wu's words, she told her that she had just brought her daughter Xinghua to the Xi's family to deliver a wicker basket, saying that the Xi's family I plan to grow the seeds and sell them, so I just bought a lot of baskets in my shop.

Wu deliberately said that the Xijia Erlang next door is young and capable, and the dishes that he personally cooked yesterday were also very delicious.

After hearing this, Mrs. Hu became curious, so she asked Mrs. Wu what kind of dishes Xi Erlang cooked.

Mrs. Wu described it vividly, which attracted Mrs. Hu's admiration. At the end, she added another word, saying that it's a pity that Kijiro is already engaged, otherwise he would be a good son-in-law.

"Engaged?" Mrs. Wu couldn't help being shocked when she heard this.

Mrs. Hu: "That's right, I just told his mother, Mrs. Liu, that Xi Erlang had arranged a marriage in Xijiazhuang, and she also said that it was a child's marriage. After a year or two, he made money, so Xi Erlang went back to the house." Zhuang Shang went to marry a wife, and then brought the little lady surnamed Lin to live in Yangliu Town..."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wu became a little anxious, but she didn't show this eagerness on her face. Instead, she sighed like Mrs. Hu and said that it's a pity that a good young man like Xi Erlang is already engaged.

After talking to Mrs. Hu a few more words, Mrs. Wu resigned from Mrs. Hu on the grounds that she still had something to do in the shop, and went back to the butcher stall to raise business.

Lady Hu also reluctantly went back to her shop. After hearing what Mrs. Wu said just now, it was a pity that she could not recruit Xi Erlang as her son-in-law.This Xi Erlang often passed by the door of the grocery store carrying firewood and fish, and Mrs. Hu had noticed him a long time ago.Later, she inquired about Xi Erlang and learned what kind of situation Xi Erlang's family was like. Apart from his poor family background, Mrs. Hu was quite satisfied with Xi Erlang.She and her husband had two daughters together. The eldest daughter was married and became a tailor in Bianliang City. The youngest daughter Xinghua and his wife decided that they must find her a son-in-law from this town, preferably An outsider like Xi Erlang can even recruit him as his son-in-law.

Today, she brought her daughter Xinghua there in the name of sending wicker baskets. Madam Hu mainly wanted to take a closer look at Xi’s family and Xierlang, and took her daughter Xinghua there, also wanting her to take a look at Xierlang and see her Can you fall in love with him? After all, she and her officials think that even if the couple think Kijiro looks good, they still need their daughter to like him.

So Mrs. Hu took her daughter Xinghua to Xi's house and asked her to take a closer look to see if she was satisfied.

Before going to Xi's house, Mrs. Hu told her daughter Xing Huaming about this. When Xing Hua heard that she was going to see Xi Erlang, she specially changed into a colorful dress, combed her hair and put on some rouge before going.After entering Xi's house and seeing Shunniang in the back yard, Xinghua took a look at her and nodded slightly towards her mother.

Seeing that her daughter fell in love with Xi Erlang, Mrs. Hu was also happy, and immediately started talking to Mrs. Liu.

Unexpectedly, when Mrs. Liu uttered such words later, Mrs. Hu left in a happy mood and returned in a disappointment.

But she said that after hearing Mrs. Hu's words that Xi Erlang was engaged, she went back and sat in front of the meat stall, feeling uneasy. She felt that she was deeply shocked, and she couldn't believe that Xi Erlang next door was already engaged.After thinking about it, she decided to go over and ask Mrs. Liu in person if Xi Erlang had really made a marriage with another young lady, so that she would not be fooled by that lady Hu.What if Mrs. Hu, like me, only wants to betroth her daughter to Xi Erlang, but doesn't want other people to intervene to rob her son-in-law from her own family, and deliberately fabricate some lies to deceive people?
