What? Marriage? Isn't that just getting married? Xu Cao's eyes widened and looked at her old lady and old man inconceivably. She couldn't survive the age of fourteen, and she was less than the age of Huo, which allowed her to marry. She said how the magpie had been calling out on the jujube tree outside the door all morning.
Xu Cao wanted to cry without tears, holding the empty bowl and looking at her mother eagerly, father Xu Zicheng's sigh sounded in her ears, "Big girl, don't blame father and mother for being cruel. Yes, I asked the uncle’s family to borrow a few hundred yuan. Now your uncle’s family is urging us to pay back the money, and your mother and I have no way. It’s a bit difficult to take care of our family. Although your mother and I say that you do some work for people on weekdays, but the salary is not much, all is spent on the expenses of the family. But, big girl, don’t worry. , The man I am looking for is not bad, very loyal and honest."
The room is quiet. Although Er Ya and San Ya are young, they probably know what they are talking about now. Maybe they don’t know the concept of marrying. They also know that the eldest sister will not belong to their family in the future, and will go to live in someone else's house. Thinking of this, the eyes of the two girls are a little red. Xiaoshan is still too small, and he doesn't know anything. He is sitting in Li's arms and drinking the thick white fish soup.
Li saw Erya and Sanya with red eyes, glared at them, and yelled: "Two dead girls, why are you crying? Your eldest sister is going to marry. This is a happy event, a good thing, and you are not allowed to cry anymore. !"
Er Ya and San Ya shrank, apparently Li did not beat and scold them less often.
Xu Cao couldn't see it. She loved these three younger siblings the most, and said, "Mother, since you all helped me find a family relationship, I have nothing to say, but if I marry someone, in the future. You will treat Erya and Sanya better, don’t beat and scold them anymore, don’t keep hiding something delicious for Xiaoshan to eat.”
Li was blushing when she heard that , she put Xiaoshandown, trying to pick Xu Cao’s ears. .
Xu Cao swiftly rushed to the door in three steps and two steps, and the room full of Li's yelling voice, "You dare to hide from me, are you too courageous? How do I need you a dead girl to preach?"
"Come on, sit down and feed Xiaoshan to eat, don’t vent your anger at the big girl all times, come in, big girl, let’s make the marriage clear today, and the man’s house will be proposed in a few days. The same is true for the man. His name is Yang Chenan from Zhanghe Village. He is not bad, and he is good at hunting. "
Yang Chenan? Xu Cao sat on top of Xiao Wuzi and thought carefully about this man named Yang Chen'an. This name is considered to be of a very high standard in Zhanghe Village, and it sounds good. However, she racked her brains and couldn't figure out when there was an extra man named Yang Chen'an in the village. She blinked and looked at Xu Zicheng, "Father, why don't I know there is a man named Yang Chenan in our village ?"
At any rate, she is a native of Zhanghe Village. The village is up and down, old and young, There is no name she doesn't recognize or remember.
Xu Zicheng's expression was a little unnatural. He coughed slightly, then glanced at Xu Cao, and said: "Just...that's...Yang Lengzi..."
What? Xu Cao grew up and stared at his father stupidly. Yang Chenan is Yang Lengzi? She didn't know that Yang Lengzi still had such a nice name, and it was really indecent.
Yang Lengzi, from Zhanghe Village, is now twenty years old. He is tall and strong, with a burly figure. Every time Xu Cao sees him, this stupid big man let out silly smile . Xu Cao had also spoken to him several times, but dhe couldn't tell whether this person was genuine or fake.
The Yang family’s situation is also quite complicated. Yang Lengzi’s mother died when she gave birth to him. Later, when he was one year old, Daddy Yang married another Chen family. The Chen family began paying attention to Yang Lengzi. It was good, and he changed his name to Yang Fugui. After the Chen gave birth to his own child, she was naturally not very good to Yang Lengzi.
This Yang Lengzi also married a wife, but after the wife gave him a daughter, she couldn't stand her mother-in-law's all sorts of difficulties and ran away!
Xu Cao had always known that his name was Yang Lengzi or Yang Fugui, but he didn't know that he still had such a nice name.
She opened her mouth and opened her mouth again, wanting to ask more, but found that it was really unnecessary. Although she didn't know Yang Lengzi very well, she knew everything about it. She never thought about whether to marry or not. She didn't care about the instigation of her parents, as long as she knew clearly what was going on in her family. Such a poor family, such an ordinary appearance, expecting to meet the young master of the famous nobleman in the novel, and then the young master fell in love with her at first sight or something, then she was really a fool.
She knows what it means to be realistic. She lived 30 years old in her previous life and lived more than ten years in this life. She knows some truths too well and will not dream of unrealistic dreams like a little girl.
Moreover, Xu Cao thought for a while. This man seemed to be pretty good. Although he was a bit honest, he was more in control, and the two would get along more easily. Although there is a little bun, she takes care of all three younger siblings, so it's okay to take care of one more.
Speaking of which, this type of man is considered Xu Cao's favorite. If she were to be given a scholar who doesn't discern anything, she would really cry to death.
Thinking about this, Xu Cao breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled sweetly: " father, mother, when will the man propose marriage?"
Xu Zicheng and Li were shocked, they didn't expect the big girl to be so brisk. After all, the elder Yang Lengzi was tall and old, and he was not too young. He also brought a drag oil bottle. Few girls were willing to jump into this fire pit. They were forced to let the big girl marry him.
In this era, everyone likes handsome scholar-type men. Xu Cao doesn't like a little white face, she likes a stronger one.
Li looked at the big girl in front of her, and she felt a little uncomfortable. She had always liked Xiaoshan, and she always beat and scolded the three girls. In fact, she didn't want to. She was poor for a lifetime and suffered a lifetime. Living in such an era, if you don't give birth to a male baby, the people around you will have to drown you with saliva. Li's eye sockets were a little red, she stared at Xu Cao blankly, and sighed: "Big girl, mother doesn't want to beat and scold you, it's really...it's..."
Xu Cao didn't wait for her to finish, and hurriedly said, "Mother, don't be sad. I think wealth is pretty good. A good hunter, I am working harder, and my life will not be worse than others."
Anyhow, it will be her own man in the future . Now, you can't call Yang Lengzi anymore.
Li's general feeling, this eldest girl has been more sensible than others since she was a child, but she has been a little ridiculous since she was a child and always talks nonsense. she hope that after she gets married, she will never say those weird things anymore, and also say what can improve the grain in the field into hybrid rice, so that the grain output can be doubled in the future. Oh, when the five-year-old little girl told her this , she was almost scared to death! no! She must talk to the big girl before she gets married, and she can't talk nonsense after she gets married.
Xu Zicheng and Li were relieved to know that the big girl did not object to this marriage, and the family went to rest after having dinner early.
One month passed quickly. In this month, Nazhai, Asking name. Only two months later, the man came to welcome him.
But today the man just sent the betrothal gift, the man's betrothal gift is not bad, Xu Cao never expected that the Chen family would allow Yang Fugui to send so many betrothal gifts, it should be compared to the wealth of private money.
Li was delighted to see her teeth but did not see her eyes, "Oh, I really didn't expect this Yang family to be pretty good. They gave so many dowry gifts, let's see, they also gave six taels of silver!"
Although the other dowry gifts are many, they are not worth the money. I'm afraid they all add up to less than six taels of silver.
Xu Zicheng also smiled. He squatted in the thatched house and knocked the dry mud on his straw sandals. He smiled and said, "This Yang family is really good. The big girl came out with some dowry furniture."
Li's face changed a bit, thinking about the Yang family 's mother-in-law, and sneered: "Where is the Yang family good? The kid hunts very well, and he often goes to the town to sell game something. If the rich and wealthy stepmother knows that he has given such a lucrative betrothal gift, I'm afraid she's being angry."
When she said this, Li paused, and then continued: "Our family is poor, but the big girl who can't be harsh, I will go to the mountain with you tomorrow to chop down some good trees and give the big girl some furniture." She is always her daughter, and she doesn't want her girl to be looked down upon when she gets married.
Although two months were not much time, it was still enough time to buy some furniture. Within a few days, Xu Zicheng and Li asked someone to help drag a few cedar trees back.
The days passed without any hurries. Whenever he caught the time, Li would tell Xu Cao what the married girl should pay attention to. She should serve his in-laws well and ask Xu Cao when marry in the future, don't say such a silly thing.
Xu Cao all responded.
After another month, the dates on the date tree next to the house were all mature. Xu Cao was afraid that the jujube would be beaten by the kids in the village, so she kept Xiao Bai guarding it under the tree, and Xiao Bai had done his duty loyally. Regardless of Xiaobai's thinness and small size, but the courage of few children in the village dared not to provoke Xiaobai.
Early in the morning, Xu Cao called Erya and Sanya to hit dates. The children in the village also knew that the dates were ripe, and they had been wandering around the neighborhood these days.
