Deep in the bamboo forest is my home

The matter of He Xiaohua's secret reading and literacy was easily revealed.From the eleventh day of the Lunar New Year, the He family began to prepare for Xiaozhu's engagement.On the fifteenth day of the new year, they sent gifts to the Yang family, and under the witness of the village elders, they formally settled the marriage.Although there are still several days left, there are still many things to do.

The matchmaking, the exchange of time and horoscopes, etc. were all arranged by Yang Yan'er and Shen Memo, and they quickly went through the motions.The two families saw it right, the matchmaker was very easy to handle, the previous process was simple, and they got engaged on the fifteenth day of the year.

The wedding presents must first be a pair of live chickens, live geese, and live ducks; eight kinds of fruits, two of each kind.It's not easy to find fresh fruits in winter, and there are some on Zhushan, but it took Yang Yan'er a lot of thought to collect eight kinds, looking for the owner and asking the west, but Yang Yaner managed to get them all together.A pair of gourds, Boss He asked for from old man Li Gensheng; two boxes of sesame seeds; a box of Double Happiness gift box, which contains walnuts, lilies, red dates, shelled peanuts, red beans, mung beans, etc. Eleven kinds of auspicious fruits.

The presents for engagement were piled up in the main room, Yang Yan'er carefully sorted them over and over again, for fear of missing one, and opened the basket from time to time, checking each fruit, for fear that the fruit would be bitten by insects, which would be unlucky.Seeing that Xiaosi was going to catch fruit to play with, he slapped the back of Xiaosi's hand hard, Xiaosi pouted his mouth aggrievedly, and asked Third Brother to act like a baby.

The most important gift gold seal, Yang Yan'er has not yet thought about it, she wants to have a good intention, let's make an even number, four is unusable, six, eight, ten, twelve, Yang Yan'er feels heartbroken again, after the engagement, the family will return To build a house, there are many places to spend money. If the money is thrown out, it will be gone in a few clicks.After much deliberation, no decision was made.

Shen Meme came to the door on the fourteenth day of the year, the two of them closed the door and talked for a long time. At noon, Shen Meme left with a smile. , facing Shen Meme with the back of his head, Shen Memo joked with a smile, "Little Four has grown up, and the more she looks, the more she looks like a little flower. After a few years, I don't know if this temperament has followed Xiaohua."

"What's so good about Sui Xiaohua? He's like a gourd, and he doesn't say a word for a long time." Yang Yan'er came out of the room with a happy face, "Which family's little brother is pestering you for delicious food and clothes. He Fortunately, make new clothes for him to wear, but he just won’t wear them.”

"Xiao Hua is so sensible, you should be content."

Sending Shen away, Yang Yan'er took out the gift gold seal, touched two taels of silver to seal it in, ordered something again, and confirmed that there was nothing missing, then returned to the room with a smile, rummaged through the suitcase, and found a pair of bright clothes.

On the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, Boss He led He Xiaozhu out in a new indigo suit.As soon as I stepped out of the courtyard gate, there was a series of crackling firecrackers. Children, what, the uncles covered their ears one after another, stayed away, and laughed while watching.The child jumped up and down and yelled, "I'm engaged, I'm engaged."

Many boys of the same age as Xiaozhu came over one after another, or patted the shoulder lightly, or slapped the back, and said congratulations.Xiao Zhu is honest, not very familiar with the villagers, but there are no conflicts that cannot be resolved, and the villagers are willing to say a few words of congratulations.The kids are even more envious of Xiao Zhu being engaged to Brother Tianci.Back then, there was a group of big kids, no one would have thought about Godsend brother, but without such a family background, who would dare to propose marriage.Now, seeing that Xiaozhu and Yang's brother were in love and engaged, everyone became active. Not long after the new year, there are always one or two stupid boys around the yard, blushing and giving gifts to his brother. I hope that I can also have a love match.Of course, this is something.

Boss He and He Xiaozhu first invited the village chief and the old man to Yang's house, and respectfully presented gifts.The boss of the Yang family checked them one by one, and after being questioned by the village chief, he publicly agreed to the marriage between He Xiaozhu and Yang Jiali.Shen Meme personally gave Yang Li's embroidered purse and new trousers to He Xiaozhu as tokens.

After the ceremony was completed, Yang Li and Shen Memo held a sunflower basket of marital shortbread and invited the villagers to eat it. All the villagers who came to congratulate and watch the ceremony had to eat a piece to express their best wishes to the married couple.It is a custom in Nanhe Village that the more others eat shortbread, the more harmonious the husband and wife will be after the younger brother gets married.Therefore, the Yang family prepared several large sunflower baskets of shortbread, and they would give it out to everyone, and after eating, there would be more, and when they were full, they would pick up a few in their pockets and take them home to eat.When the host is happy, so are the congratulators.

Yang Li was engaged, she was a member of the He family in name, she was surrounded by a group of newlyweds talking and laughing, her face was flushed with shame, she stomped her feet and wanted to hide in the room, but in terms of etiquette, Yang Li, the betrothed person, had to be with her. I sent out shortbread by myself, so I could only hang my head and let the guys chat and joke.

Seeing that Yang Li didn't dare to resist, she was even more fearless.The newlyweds are still worried about the crowd, thin-skinned, and dare not talk about dirty jokes. The elderly and those who have raised children have no scruples, clamoring to teach Yang Li to take care of the men in the family.Yang Li didn't dare not to listen, but hearing those words made people feel ashamed, she couldn't help but feel confused, and her mind was in chaos.

He Xiaozhu's situation is much better than Yang Li's, but on the day of worship, it's Xiaozhu who makes trouble in the village.

He Xiaozhu, led by Boss He, saluted the village chief and the old people.Engaged, with a husband, that is an adult, wait to provoke responsibility.In future meetings in the village, He Xiaozhu's speech will be solid, and others will not say that he is a child's talker.

While everyone was making a fuss, Boss He dragged the village chief to talk about the swamp.The village chief couldn't figure out why the He family wanted to lease the land with the mud monsters, but it didn't bother him, so he agreed immediately that he would go with Boss He when the county government office started to open on the [-]th of the Lunar New Year's Eve. Record the land under the name of Boss He.Mr. He thanked him repeatedly.

The Yang family was in a panic.Yang Yan'er has no time to stay at home.Boss He and He Xiaozhu went out to get engaged, and Yang Yaner wanted to stay home to greet the villagers who came to congratulate him. He Xiaohu was supposed to go out with Xiaozhu to Yang's house, but for some reason, Xiaohu, who usually loves the most lively, walked around in front of people and showed his face , and hid in the room.The uncles who came to the He family asked one after another, what happened to Xiaohu?It's not sick.

Yang Yan'er put on a froze smile, and explained, "For those who celebrate Chinese New Year, what kind of illness is there? On the eighteenth day of the Chinese New Year, my little tiger will take the test for children. He has to go to the county town to take the test and meet the county magistrate. Thinking about the book."

Well, the uncles said yes one after another, and they also said that Yang Yan'er is very lucky. She has a god-given son-in-law. The second son is admitted to Tongsheng, and he is a real scholar. Afterwards, he is selected as a scholar and a candidate. Then Yang Yan'er is an official. What's up.The words of congratulations made Yang Yan'er's eyebrows beam with joy, and the little unhappiness just now was immediately forgotten.

Liang Xiu sent the youngest who had been with him all the time to congratulate him, and sent him a horse with brightly colored fabrics.The youngest said politely that Liang Fulang and the young master were not in good health recently, so they couldn't come to the door to congratulate them in person.

Yang Yan'er was happy, so naturally she didn't mind these little things, she happily talked to the youngest, and went to entertain the villagers again.

The youngest walked around He's house, and saw three old houses in He's house, and a newly built house with only gray tiles and earthen walls. I felt a little disdainful, but thinking about what my husband told me before I went out, I quickly restrained my face Look up.Looking around, he found the little brother of the He family who was boiling water in the kitchen, and the youngest tiptoed over and looked carefully.

The youngest has been by Liang Xiu's side for many years. Seeing that his brother has his own way, he glanced at He Xiaohua critically. The youngest came to the conclusion that he is capable and hardworking, but his body is too thin and weak. Fortunately, his buttocks are upright enough. It is not difficult to give birth in the future.With the state of the He family, and with the young master's current thoughts, this little brother of the He family will definitely marry in in the future.With all sorts of thoughts in his mind, the youngest one quietly left He's house when no one was paying attention, and ran back to Liang's house to report to Fu Lang.

Naturally, He Xiaohua didn't know that she was judged by others. There were too many people in the house, and she was busy boiling water in the kitchen, washing the dishes, and delivering hot water to the guests.

Xiao Si was rarely obedient today, Yang Yan'er was hugged in her arms, being touched and pinched again, without crying or fussing, she slept with her eyes closed.He Xiaohua thinks that Xiao Si is really good, thinking back then, at the Hundred Days Meeting, she had a fight with Uncle Momo, but Xiao Si slept soundly under the harassment, Xiao Hua couldn't help giving him a thumbs up.sharp.

When the people in the village gradually dispersed, it was already evening. After a day of trouble, the Yang family and the He family were exhausted.They each said a few words, and went home to clean up.He Xiaozhu and Yang Li reluctantly went home.As soon as Shen Memo closed the courtyard door, she nodded Yang Li's head, "It's just that one night, it's so inseparable."

"Ah, just laugh at me." Yang Li had been laughed at enough today, so she stomped her feet and ran back to the room, ignoring people.
