Deep in the bamboo forest is my home

On the day of Little Four Hundred Days, the snow that had been falling intermittently for several days finally stopped.Early in the morning, the sky showed its original light blue color, and at noon the golden sun showed half of its face.

Brother Xiaozhu and Xiaohu put on new clothes, Xiaozhu was in a dark purple short jacket, and Xiaohu was in a light blue long gown.Wearing the new clothes, Xiaohu walked around the yard a few times, with four fingers bent and thumbs slightly erected, pretending to fan one by one, "Xiaohua, do you look good, brother?"

He Xiaohua looked at Xiaohu up and down, Xiaohu looked much more energetic after putting on new clothes, and Xiaohu's skin was lighter, with a straight nose, and his brows and eyes looked like a gentleman.

"Xiaohu looks really nice." Xiaozhu looked at his younger brother enviously.

Xiaozhu works in the field, his skin color is naturally dark, there are not many people honestly, his eyes are serious, and he lives like a little old man at a young age.Xiao Hua shook her head.

"Xiao Hua," Yang Yan'er called through the curtain, "Has your father gone out?"

"Going out, Ah, take a break, and when the guests arrive, I will call Ah."

Yang Yan'er and He Xiaohua got up early in the morning and cooked all kinds of dishes. The lotus seed porridge was cooked and simmered on a low fire, and the tea made by Lianxin was heated with warm water.Just wait for the guests to arrive at noon and start the banquet.

Shen Momo was the first to come to the door.This time, Shen Meme didn't come over early to help cook and then chat with Yang Yan'er when Xiaohua was in Bairi, but waited until the banquet was about to start, and brought the newly dressed Yang Li to the door.

Shen Meme first gave Yang Yan'er a set of small quilts and a white rabbit puppet.Yang Yan'er took it with a smile, and asked Xiao Hua to carry Xiao Si out for Shen Momo to have a look at.Shen Meme smiled and said a few words of congratulations, turned his eyes around, saw Xiao Zhu who was busy moving tables and chairs, and said with a smile, "Xiao Zhu is already fourteen in spring."

"Yeah, it's fourteen." Yang Yan'er looked at Yang Li, who was wearing a new pink floral dress beside Shen Memo, with a red face and bowed head, and she knew it.

"Xiaozhu is the eldest son of the He family. The brother who will marry after the beating is the husband of He's parents. This brother must be carefully selected. Don't listen to those matchmakers and husbands who say that this brother's temperament is the most important. An unsatisfactory one, making the house unsettled."

"Well, Shen Meme is right." Yang Yan'er picked up Xiao Si and asked Shen Meme and Yang Li to sit in the main room, "It's warm in the room, and we can go out when everyone is here."

Seeing that Yang Yan'er didn't answer her words, Shen Meme didn't panic, "This little quilt was made by my Xiaoli stitch by stitch. Look, this stitch is really good."

Yang Yan'er followed the words, opened the small quilt, and found two different stitches, one dense and the other slightly sparse.Although it wasn't Shen Momo who said it was good, it is quite good for a ten-year-old boy to be able to embroider at this level.Yang Yan'er looked at her Xiao Hua, Xiao Hua was six years old, and after the Chinese New Year, she was going to teach him how to do needlework.Yang Yan'er thought in her heart, counting everything, there are really many things to do after the beginning of spring.

Shen Meme added, "My Xiaoli is not coddled and raised at home. I will teach my little brother what to do, cooking, laundry, and housekeeping. When I go to someone else's house in the future, it will be someone else's house." My husband, you can't learn after you get married. Yan'er, do you think this is the case?"

Yang Yan'er pursed her lips and smiled, "That's the reason." Looking at Yang Li, she looked good, but her butt was a bit flat.He is not only the elder brother of the Shen Memo family that he is familiar with, but also the one he watched and grew up with, so he also knows his temperament, gentle and filial.Speaking of working, Yang Yan'er couldn't help but think of some small things about the Yang family, Shen Moy didn't need to work in the fields, and Yang Li had never learned to work in the fields.

Yang Yan'er couldn't help frowning. There are three strong laborers in the family, but only two work in the fields. In the future, if Yang Li really wants to get started, if there are more jobs in the fields, why not work in the fields too much? ?

Seeing Yang Yan'er frowning, Shen Meme understood it in a flash. Thinking of it, he felt wronged for Yang Li, and he clenched the veil tightly in his hands, but the words have already reached this point, so it's impossible for him to take them back.

Thoughts in Yang Yan'er's mind turned quickly, Yang Li was a gift from God, a god-sent brother is better than a blessing, and it will look good when married, and Xiaohua is also a brother, but she deals with chickens every day, waiting for Yang Li to pass the door, this matter can be handed over to him.There is also Xiaosi, who needs to be looked after.The work in the field, when Yang Li passes through the door, it's up to her to decide.

The more Yang Yan'er thought about it, the more she felt that she was right, and the more she looked at Yang Li, the more satisfied she became.If Xiaozhu doesn't have a brother he likes, it's not impossible to marry Yang Li.

"I watched Xiaoli grow up. She has a good temperament, and it's a blessing to marry in any family. But it's not up to us aunts to get along with each other in this day and age. They have to get along with each other and think it's good."

"That's that, that's that." Shen Meme was surprised at first, and then beamed with joy.

The elder brother born by himself has been secretly watching Xiaozhu of the He family.Those who do it themselves don't know.It's just that Yang Li is a gift from God, and it is very possible to find a family with good status and high family status.Why did he have to choose the He family, who also came from a farming household?For this matter, Shen Meme deliberately delayed for several years, but seeing that his brother was still only staring at He Xiaozhu, and the life of the He family was also peaceful.Shen Momo can only admit it in his heart, the farmer is also a farmer, Boss He is not old, He Xiaozhu can work, He Xiaohu goes to school, maybe he will be outstanding in the future, Yang Yaner is a good friend, the He family Xiaohua is also diligent and thoughtful.When Yang Li married, she didn't have to worry about being too difficult, her husband's brother was difficult to take care of, and she didn't have to worry about having a hard time.

Just because I had a good idea in my heart, I deliberately came to the door to hint.When Yang Yan'er frowned, Shen Momo already felt that the matter was going to be serious, but she didn't expect it to be possible.Shen Meme thought to herself, it's rare that Yang Li likes He Xiaozhu all these years, so just let him go.

Shen Meme turned her head to look at Yang Li, "Xiao Li, go out and see if there is anything you haven't prepared for brother Xiao Zhu, go over and help."

"There's nothing to do. When you come, just sit down." Yang Yan'er pretended to stop her, but she just moved her mouth and didn't even extend her hand.

Yang Li lowered her head, responded, and ran out of the main room to look for Xiao Zhu, who helped pass the bench and the dishes.As soon as Yang Li intervened, He Xiaohu had nothing else to do, and saw that everyone was talking in the main room, and it was inconvenient to go in, so he had to go to the kitchen to watch the fire.

He Xiaohua was horrified after listening to the conversation, Yang Yan'er and Shen Momo settled Yang Li and He Xiaozhu in a few words.He Xiaohua thought to herself, is it too early for a ten-year-old to talk about marriage?Seeing that Yang Li just bowed her head and didn't speak, she also thought that Yang Li and He Xiaozhu would nod when they met on weekdays, without saying a word.Can these two match up?

He Xiaohua was anxious for Yang Li, you are talking, if you don't talk, you will be sent to be a husband in a daze.

The two are the parents of the east and the short of the west, and because they are about to become in-laws, they are even more enthusiastic.He Xiaohua quietly put the white rabbit puppet into Xiao Si's arms, ran out of the house by herself, pulled Yang Li past her, and hid in the henhouse. Looking out from the main room, she happened to be out of sight.

Shen Meme has sharp eyes. He Xiaohua dragged Yang Li away on one side, but he said on the other side, "Xiaohua and Xiaoli have a good relationship. It will be easy for them to get along in the future."

Yang Yan'er smiled, and patted Xiao Si's back, but no matter how you look at it, this smile seems to be putting on airs.

He Xiaohua pulled Yang Li aside, and asked in a low voice, "You are talking. You really don't want to say it directly, so don't keep talking."

"I, I, Xiaohua, I..." I am willing.Yang Li bit her lip, but couldn't speak.In Xiao Hua's eyes, Xiao Hua just dared not say something, and hid her grievances in her heart.

He Xiaohua thought to herself, forget it, they all grew up together, although they usually don't say a few words, but this kind of thing has to be made clear, and they have misunderstood themselves and their elder brother. "If you really dare not say it, I will tell Ah Mo for you. If you don't want to, don't think about it. There is nothing to be afraid of."
