There is a space man in the village [Rebirth]

The two sons of Zheng Shihai are not too young. In the past, the family was poor and could not marry the two sons. Now that they have money in their hands, this matter cannot be delayed no matter what.

In fact, the two boys in his family already had a girl they liked, but they were always worried about money, so now that the Zheng family got the money, they started to rush to settle the marriage.

The marriage of the second eldest, Zheng Tianqing, was easy. The girl was from Huangxi Village, and she was hardworking.

It's just that there is a stepmother in the family who is not very easy to get along with. As a result, if the girl wants to get married, she has to marry with her younger sister with a stubborn temper, and asks her husband's family to support an extra family. result.

But now it's all right, the Zheng family has money, and they have a good relationship with the Huo family, the girl's family can't wait for the marriage to be completed quickly, there is no problem.

On the contrary, Zheng Tianjun, the boss of the Zheng family, has a little problem here. The girl is from another village, and it is said that she is very beautiful.

So that's why the girl's family is proud and pays great attention to face. Not only is the dowry more expensive, but the Zheng family has to find someone with status to hire to lose face.

But Zheng Tianjun insisted on marrying that girl, and those who asked Zheng Shihai to be his father could only do his best.

Huo Chengyi didn't have much comment on this matter, anyway, he thought that the three Zheng family fathers and sons were pretty good, it would not be difficult for him to make an appearance, and it would be a joy for him to go to such a happy event.

Xiaobai heard that he really wanted to go with him, and the young man likes to join in the fun.

But ever since they knew he had it, the whole family regarded him as a fragile item, let alone traveling far away, even if they wandered around the village, someone had to follow him.

Zhou Dahua put down everything and went to Huo's house to look after her precious son.

Huo Chengyi was not that serious, but the girl from the other village who proposed marriage to the Zheng family lived quite far away, and had to climb over the mountain, and the mountain road was rough and difficult to walk, so naturally he couldn't let Xiaobai follow.

So Xiaobai's wish was ruthlessly taken away by everyone, and he was pitiful for several days.

Huo Chengyi was softened by his husband's small eyes, so he promised to take him out for a few days to get some fresh air before comforting him.

Three days later, the Zheng family's betrothal gifts were all ready, and they set off early in the morning.

It can be said that the Zheng family prepared a lot of betrothal gifts this time.

Huo Chengyi, the betrothal, did not ask, but the full six loads of betrothal gifts can be said to be based on the auspicious number of Liuliu Dashun, such as Qiaoguoxiye, cloth cabinet, bracelets, necklaces and earrings are all ready.

Jewelry is not cheap, and the sum of the items must be at least 20 taels. This kind of betrothal gift is quite good in the town, let alone in the countryside.

Moreover, according to the specifications of this kind of dowry, the dowry money that the girl's family asked for must not be less, and the Zheng family's marriage to this relative was considered a bloody expense.

Forget about their own people, knowing that there will be a lot of fruit wine dividends in the future, the Zheng family will not be poor, and they don't care about the 20 taels.

But in the eyes of outsiders, the Zheng family is just a hunter who has just made a small amount of money. The Zheng family has two sons. The girl's family from outside the village asks for so much just for the dowry, which is really a bit like a lion.

Huo Chengyi was a little bit tongue-tied.

If the girl on the other side is a good one, it's worth it. I'm afraid of meeting the kind of in-laws who treat people as if they were taken advantage of, and it will be troublesome.

But it's hard for him to be an outsider, after all, only the other person knows whether it's worth it or not.

So he can only wish for the best, the dowry is second, and the love between the two is fine.

Seeing Zheng Tianjun's sullen expression, Huo Chengyi inexplicably felt that the other party was not at all happy as a groom...

It's not too far away from the Zheng family's hired girl's village, but the way to get there is rather troublesome. There is a mountain to climb in the middle, and the group of them walked quite hard carrying the burden.

Starting early in the morning, they bumped all the way until the afternoon before they arrived at their destination—Hezhuang.

Hezhuang and Hezhuang have the same pronunciation. In fact, Hezhuang used to be called Hezhuang.

It is said that the place where this village is located used to be a big river, and because the poor people living in the surrounding area moved the world sincerely, God took the big river away and vacated a piece of fertile land for everyone to live in.

Of course, this "said" must have a mythical nature. In Huo Chengyi's view, the fact that the river can be turned into land is actually caused by geological reasons, and it is not so mysterious.

But it was precisely because of this geological reason that when Huo Chengyi arrived at He Zhuang with the hired team, he saw large expanses of clay at a glance!

Most modern people know what clay is, and it is the main material for firing porcelain and bricks.

In fact, Hezhuang is the largest source of clay for several porcelain kilns in Tongniu County. Apart from farming, the villagers in Hezhuang make a living by selling clay.

It is precisely because of this that the villagers in Hezhuang can be regarded as living well in the surrounding villages. They are not considered rich, but every family can eat enough.

Because he had never been in contact with this area, Zhou's father used to find the clay for firing porcelain by himself at the river, so Huo Chengyi really didn't know that there was a village like Hezhuang with a lot of clay resources on their side.

Staring at the large expanse of clay, Huo Chengyi was so excited that he could barely speak, looking at the surrounding land was like looking at gold.

Of course he didn't want to be in the ceramics business. This business was about a hundred-year-old porcelain kiln, and it was basically monopolized by a few porcelain kiln owners in the town. It would be very troublesome for him to intervene.

What he wanted to do was burn bricks.

He had this idea when he was repairing the factory building before, because it was too expensive to buy building materials of blue bricks and solid tiles at that time.

Especially the blue bricks, because they are all slowly chiseled out by manual labor, the cost is very expensive, and the cost of building a house is too high. It is impossible for a businessman like him to invest a lot of working capital in real estate.

Originally, he wondered if he could find a brick kiln to repair it with bricks, but after searching around, he realized that there is no fired bricks in this world.

This is simply too unexpected. Brick firing is a very ancient craft in his original world. According to his cognition, according to the level of civilization in this world, it should be there.

Who knew that he greatly overestimated the chaos of the fictional era.

No wonder people here judge their family environment by whoever lives in a blue-brick house, because those who can live in this kind of expensive house are really rich.

But if you want to burn bricks, you need the right clay, and the demand for bricks for the house he wants to repair is too high, and the small amount of clay by the village river is not enough.

Unexpectedly, Hezhuang was actually a source of clay supply. Such a large amount of clay was enough for him to repair many factories and save a lot of money. It was a pleasant surprise.

The Zheng family's visit to kiss him was not in vain, it was really joyous and rewarding.

But now is not the time to be excited, so Huo Chengyi calmed down quickly, and followed the Zheng family father and son to propose a marriage with a smile on his face.

Because there is a custom of hiring people after they have negotiated in advance, they didn't look like headless chickens wandering around when they arrived in Hezhuang Village. The matchmaker led the way, and they followed, and soon arrived at the door of the girl's house.

The girl Zheng Tianjun proposed this time is also very famous in the village, and she is said to be a well-known beautiful daughter of He Zhuang.

But beauty is beauty, but the girl's family environment is not good, and there seems to be a lot of relatives in the family.

When Huo Chengyi first entered the door, he saw a bunch of people sitting in the yard of this family, and thought that they were all aunts and uncles from the village who came to join in the fun. It is normal for villagers to like to join in the fun at happy events.

But it wasn't until the introduction that he realized that the No. 30 people sitting in the yard of the He family were all relatives of the He family!

Not to mention Huo Chengyi and the people who carried the dowry along the way, even Zheng Shihai was shocked, and touched the sweat on his head twice.

Because there is a custom here, that is, when the man goes to propose a marriage, in addition to giving the betrothal gift, he has to give the elder relatives in the house a happy money.

The Zhou family didn't have any close relatives, so Huo Chengyi was spared that time.

The amount of money is not important, it is just a matter of festive and auspicious, to show the man's sincerity and importance, and to show that the girl and brother will not be treated badly when they marry in the future.

But the Zheng family has prepared a large amount of dowry this time, and it is impossible for the happy money to be spent with a few copper coins.

Moreover, the He family said before that the family pays attention to face, and hopes that the dowry money will be thicker and look good. When the girl gets married, they will marry it as a dowry. It doesn't really cost much money...

The He family has expressed their attitude to this point, Zheng Shihai naturally can't ruin his son's marriage, and has to support his back.

So Zheng Shihai originally planned to give thirty copper coins to each of He's elder relatives, neither heavy nor light.

Who knew that the He family had so many relatives, no. 30 of them piled up here!

Roughly speaking, at least a few hundred coins would have to be thrown out, and they didn't bring so many scattered copper coins when they went out today.

Zheng Shihai felt a little unhappy while wiping his sweat away.

It wasn't that he was reluctant to give his son money to marry a wife, but his family only had six or seventy taels in hand now. In order to hire this He family girl, the second child had already voluntarily backed down and gave most of the money to the boss.

After getting married, you will get married, and when the time comes, there will be a lot of money, and you will have to wait for the dividends of fruit wine. Now that you have used up all your money, what will you do with the wedding banquet afterward?

Here Zheng Tianjun's face is also a bit ugly.

According to the rules of talking about marriage in the countryside, the dowry money prepared by their Zheng family is already generous enough, not to mention the marriage proposal in the village, even if it is put in the town, it will not lose face.

But the He family is good, and now they have called their No. 30 relatives to come and grab the wedding money, which is a bit too much.

The two fathers and sons of the Zheng family had a bad look on the spot.

However, the parents and elders of the He family were still calm and calm, and they were not embarrassed at all.

Said that their daughter has been raised for more than ten years as a heart and soul, and if she wants to marry, she must marry a husband who loves her daughter-in-law. The subtext is that if the Zheng family does not give them this face, the marriage will be abandoned.

When it came time to offer a marriage proposal, the Zheng family would be ashamed if the marriage was rejected.

To put it bluntly, Huo Chengyi felt that the He family was simply selling their daughter, and made it clear that Zheng Tianjun liked her daughter's extortion.

It's just nonsense to want to find a loving husband's family for your daughter who just wants face and doesn't care about money!

If the He family was really thinking about their daughter, how could they know that the Zheng family was a small hunter and the poor family would ask for so much betrothal gifts?And how could he do such a thing that he called so many relatives to come and get money?

At the beginning, Father Zhou made things difficult for him purely because he didn't want to agree to the marriage, there's no need to make such an embarrassment if he really wants to get married.

Huo Chengyi stared at the arrogant He family and thought in his heart, but it's not easy for him to take care of this matter.

If the Zheng family really wanted to get married, I hope the girl of the He family would understand, otherwise it would be a real headache to drag this kind of in-laws.

Zheng Shihai and his son had dark faces, but they have come here, so they can't just walk away just because they are unhappy.

In fact, there is another thing Huo Chengyi doesn't know is that Zheng Tianjun insisted on marrying the He family girl because the girl was pregnant.

The Zheng family's father and son are honest and honest people, and they can't do such a thing as taking another girl's body and throwing it away.

So in the end, although the atmosphere was not as happy as expected, the marriage was still settled.

Because they couldn't go back that day, they stayed here at He Zhuang at night.
