Lucky husband

Li Mingjin listened from the sidelines, deeply moved. Cousin Qingyan was only 13 years old, and her uncle and aunt had already started to take pictures of her. Could it be too early?

Li Mingjin, who had been taught before, didn't say anything at Jiang's house. When he left Xiahe Village and went back to Shanghe Village, he asked Jiang Zhiyun quietly: "Mother, did uncle and aunt tell you when to give cousin Qingyan Engagement, when do you plan to marry her?"

"Did you hear what I said to your eldest aunt just now?" Jiang Zhiyun didn't answer. When she was at Jiang's house just now, she saw that Li Mingjin was eavesdropping. This child is about to get married, so it's okay to let him know something. , but the habit of eavesdropping is not acceptable.

"I just listened to you when you said it. Who told me to sit close to you." Li Mingjin knew that he would be told to explain to him if he quietly listened to the adults. .

"You think you moved the stool on purpose and I didn't see it?" Jiang Zhiyun reached out and pinched his arm.

The jacket she wore in winter was thick, and she didn't feel anything if she was pinched, but Li Mingjin put on a miserable look, pretending to be angry and dare not speak out.

His expression was too fake, Jiang Zhiyun just thought it was funny, but she didn't hold on to this question anymore, she just walked forward and ignored Li Mingjin.

Li Mingjin's doubts have not been resolved, he wanted to know about his cousin, so he asked again: "Mother, my cousin is still young, I think she can be like me, wait until she is 16 to get engaged, and then get married at [-]."

Seeing that Jiang Zhiyun was about to get angry again, Li Mingjin hurriedly added: "I remember you said before that it is not good for a girl or brother to have a baby too early, so it will be the most suitable in the future, isn't it?"

This sentence is correct. Jiang Zhiyun looked at the confused Li Mingjin, thought of something, and replaced her anger with a smile: "Brother Jin, 13 years old is not too young. I was when you were 13 years old. I'm starting to show you."

"Huh?" Li Mingjin's expression froze, and he asked in surprise, "Why don't I know anything?"

Jiang Zhiyun nodded Li Mingjin's head: "At the age of 13, I just started seeing each other. Only when the two families look suitable will they let out the news. When the age is reached, the man invites a matchmaker to come to propose marriage. If he really waits until he is fifteen or six years old, he will start dating. Look, all the good ones have been booked, so there is no way to choose."

"This kind of thing is understood by both parties in private. It is not certain that no one will say it before, and it will damage their respective reputations."

"At that time, I was secretly looking for you, but I never found a suitable one, and I was very worried. It was not until later that I realized that Zhiwen had taken a fancy to you early on."

"Besides, if I let you know at that time, it's okay. You don't have any intention of getting married, you can't do anything, and you are still stupid. How can you know what kind of person you like and what kind of life you want to live."

Jiang Zhiyun's words finally let Li Mingjin know why he thought his mother was weird for a while when he was 13 years old.

At that time, the relationship was just for him to look at. Fortunately, his mother didn't fancy any boy at that time. He had been in the county for so many years, and he didn't think that among the peers he had heard or met, he could see him.

"So, your uncle and aunt are starting to look similar to Qing Yan. The marriage is not just about two young people, it also connects two families."

"To find the right person, you need to see whether his character can stand the test, whether there are any criminals in the same clan of the other party, and how the temperament of the mother-in-law and sister-in-law are. All these will take time. Yes, if you don’t inquire about it in advance, it’s hard to change it when you’re fifteen or sixteen and you’re settled.”

Li Mingjin would have children of her own after she got married, and Jiang Zhiyun broke it up and told him about it when she mentioned it.

Li Mingjin listened to Jiang Zhiyun's lecture, and when he looked at Jiang Zhiyun and said that it was almost done, he continued to ask: "Then what's the situation with that kid that uncle likes, I just heard you say pig?"

Jiang Wang's voice was very low when he said some words, Li Mingjin didn't hear clearly, he looked at his mother curiously, thinking that as Qingyan's cousin, he had to understand what was going on for Qingyan.

Besides, Li Mingjin felt that the aunt of the National People's Congress would not object if the uncle thought it was acceptable, why would the aunt have objections this time.

Seeing Li Mingjin's expression, Jiang Zhiyun's heart fluttered. She still didn't intend to tell Li Mingjin anything more specific. In her opinion, a brother who is not yet married should not ask too much about other people's marriages.

However, Jiang Zhiyun planned to inquire about the situation of the Tong family child in private, in case the elder brother was blinded and only saw the good of the Tong family child, but did not see other aspects of him.

Although Jiang Wang didn't say which child it was from Tong's family, Jiang Zhiyun already knew that he was a student in Class C taught by Jiang Yuzhi, and he was studying well. This information is enough, and he can ask Xianggong to help.

Today's county magistrate attaches great importance to the children in the county school, and the large number of scholars under his rule is also a result of his political achievements. He often goes to see those children, and Li Chengshi can follow them whenever he goes.

Therefore, Li Mingjin, who provided Jiang Zhiyun with an idea, was ruthlessly rejected. He tried hard all the way but couldn't find any more specific information, so he had to give up.

The time for the New Year's rest passed quickly, and Li Chengshi and the others returned to the county one day earlier. This time, it was not only their family, but also old man Li, old lady Li and Li Mingyue.

As early as the second year of junior high school, Li Chengzhi and the others started the busy work of the rice noodle shop for the new year. From that day on, they would bring some household items with them every day when they went to the county town, and by the way simply tidy up some houses in the county town.

When the second elder was going to live in the county seat, he had almost taken away all the things he needed, but before leaving, Mrs. Li still packed up a cart full of belongings, so Li Chengshi had to call for two carts, one loaded with things, a car carrying people.

The big house has been idle for a long time in the county house, and there are many places to be cleaned. It is really difficult for Li Chengzhi and his wife to spare time. The remaining two sons and grandchildren of the old couple There is a place to use it.

There are many people and strength, and the roof is missing a few tiles, which are found from other places to make up for it. There are cobwebs in the corners and roofs, and they are swept with a long broom. The dry weeds in the backyard are cut by Li Chengli and Li Chengshi. Firewood bundled into bundles is thrown into the firewood house for later use.

In one day, the backyard, stove room, firewood room, main room and rooms to live in were all cleaned up, leaving only a few small details that Mrs. Li could slowly tidy up by herself.

The second elder had completely moved to the county seat, and Jiang Zhiyun was worried that they were not used to it. In the past few days, she always brought Li Mingjin and Li Mingkang, who hadn't started classes, here to see them.

When the weather gradually warmed up, old man Li got busy with his work. He carefully turned over the ground in the backyard several times and planted several kinds of vegetables.

After he finished working on his "land", he ran out of the city to look at the land that Jiang Zhiyun and the others had bought, as Mrs. Li said, to prevent those renters from not taking good care of the land and not serious about growing food.

Not only did he worry about the property of the third son's family, but he also worried about the property purchased by the eldest family, so he was busier than in the village, and he had no intention of going back to live.

Granny Li also went to the rice noodle shop to help out in the morning and noon as she had planned, and at other times she took her granddaughter out to sell vegetables and cook for the whole family.

When the two elders were still living in the village, Li Chengzhi and Bai Xiuhe's lunch time was not stable, not to mention simple, and sometimes a bowl of rice noodles could handle it.

After the second elder took Li Mingyue to live in the county seat, the lunch of the husband and wife became visibly richer to the naked eye, and the time stabilized after the noon round of guests left.

After a period of time, his complexion became more rosy than before.

Granny Li looked at it and felt that it was the right decision to persuade the old man to live in the county.

After the beginning of spring comes spring plowing, and everyone in the village is busy with field work, which means that the day when Li Mingjin gets married is getting closer and closer. Jiang Zhiyun is still thinking about finding a nun for Li Mingjin.

Just as he was thinking about this, a letter came from Limingli in Zhoucheng, which described the situation of the foster mother at the Qu family.

The Qu family is now in decline, and scholars with no interest come out to support the scene, and later generations start to buy and sell books, open bookstores to get closer to businessmen, and the contacts in official circles gradually decrease.

Therefore, only the main family of the Qu family can find a better nunnery. These branches are not capable. His daughter plugged in to learn the rules.

Qu Jingshu and her eldest sister were like this back then. It was not easy to ask shopkeeper Qu to help find the nurturing mother. He had no connections, so even if he invited him, he probably wouldn't be very powerful. It would be better not to teach the rules indiscriminately.

Jiang Zhiyun put down the letter, and could only temporarily put the matter aside to see if there was any other way. At that time, it was a bit ill-considered to find the Qu family. It was Mingli's Yue family, and it was not easy to trouble him after another layer. other people.

Otherwise, we'd better wait for Bai Zhiwen and Li Mingde to pass the examination, and ask them two people who are well-known to help.

At this time, Li Mingjin was thinking of a way to add the decoration made of broken gemstones that Bai Zhiwen gave him during the New Year to his wedding dress.

After meeting Bai Zhiwen that day, he went back and opened the cloth bag to look at the things in the cloth bag. They were belts, collars and other items that could be sewn on clothes for decoration. They were all red in color and woven with thin threads. It is like embroidery, and it has a different taste than embroidery.

If Bai Zhiwen didn't give him such an object and such a color to add to his wedding dress, Li Mingjin wouldn't believe it.

But Li Mingjin had designed other tricks for the position of the collar and belt before, and he had to think about how to make it look good without any trouble, otherwise he would have to spend more time on needlework every day, which he didn't like.
