When Lu became a marriage, he had to inform his relatives in advance. As a girl waiting for the proposal, Ningxiang could pretend to be unaware of it and wait nervously at home.

When I woke up in the morning, Ningxiang and Guan Ping cleaned the yard. Today, Pan's first time came, and the house had to be cleaned up.

Li squatted in front of the stove and burned the fire. Looking at the two big girls in the yard, he couldn't help but scold his daughter who had just gotten up in the house and was combing her hair shortly after she got up. "Look at your sister and the girl Guan, why did I give birth to such a lazy girl like you!"

"I will recite it every day, and my ears are almost out of calluses!" Xu Qiuer muttered while combing her hair.

Li snorted.

Xu Huai came in from the backyard and paused on Guan Ping, who was sweeping the floor with his head down in the front yard. Thinking of Guan Ping's cold rejection that day, his eyes darkened and he went to the east room.

When I was having breakfast, everything was as usual. After using the rice and Ningxiang, I hid back to the west courtyard and made up my mind not to leave the house today.

Li, who was kept in the dark, was unprepared. When Pan's voice came from outside, she was removing the quilt in the house. She took off the quilt and mattress to wash it for the winter. The cotton inside had to be dried and then replenished some new ones. The quilts were removed, and some of the cotton was scattered on the kang, which seemed a little messy. When she heard that a customer had arrived, she quickly got off the floor.

"Why are your brother and sister coming?" Seeing that it was Pan, Li looked at the gift she was holding. Lu Fu and Lu Rong were holding things behind him. Li was shocked.

"Let's go into the house first." Pan said with a smile and looked at the quiet west courtyard.

Li didn't pay attention and invited his mother and mother into the west room, saying embarrassedly: "I'm removing the quilt, and the east room is in chaos. Let's sit here."

"Everyone is the same, it's okay." Pan put the gift on the cabinet and asked, "Where is Xiang'er Qiu'er?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Qiuer had already run over from the west courtyard and greeted them happily.

Pan smiled at her and said, "Auntie has something to tell your mother, you little girls, go to the West Courtyard to play."

Xu Qiuer knew the relationship between her cousin and Lu Cheng. She glanced at the gifts on the cabinet and thought about her cousin's blushing face and refused to come out to meet the guests. The little girl immediately guessed most of the time and smiled and invited the Lu sisters to the west courtyard. She also deliberately said loudly: "My sister has a bad stomach and doesn't come out to pick you up. Don't be angry."

Lu Fu and Lu Rong are from the man, know better than her and they all smile gently.

Only Li thought about it.

She had been married by herself, and she also took care of her nephew's wife. There were also various happy events in the village. At present, it was obvious that Pan was talking about hiding, and that little girl must have had the news. But Li thought of the first thing Lu Yan, the second son of the Lu family who was a suitable age, so when Pan praised her niece and suddenly said that she wanted to propose marriage to Lu Cheng, the expression on Li's face was so wonderful.

Pan looked at her with a smile and sighed: "I didn't expect it? I was surprised when the boss told me yesterday."

Mrs. Li didn't say anything for the time being, looked at Mrs. Pan and replied politely, "Yes, I really don't see that he has any thoughts about Xiang'er."

She likes Lu Cheng very much. She doesn't think of her appearance. She has the ability and can bring her younger brothers and sisters. Her son Anan is raised by white, fat, lively and cute. Although Anan's stinky brat never wants to hug her. But this kind of liking is her love for a younger generation. It's Lu Cheng's turn to want to marry her niece...

Li was instinctively reluctant.

Lu Cheng's family has good conditions in the village. With his wages and the cherry trees at home, he doesn't have to worry about not being able to support his younger brothers and sisters. But their Xu family is not bad either, at least not that bad as Lu Cheng's reincarnation. Not to mention anything else, his niece is beautiful, gentle and hardworking, and can recite the Three Character Classic and write. He has some friendship with the Hou's Mansion. Didn't you see that both the mother and the mother of the Zhang family have come to flatter him? With the niece's conditions, you can marry someone better than Lu Cheng, and you don't have to compromise yourself as the reincarnation.

Men like women to be innocent and marry once in their lives. Of course, women also like men and slept with them once.

It’s like the clothes you wear, the same material and the same handmade one, one is worn by someone, and the other is new, and a fool knows to choose the new one. What’s more, Lu Cheng’s old clothes are dragging a tail behind. No matter how cute Anan is, he is ignorant. Who knows if he gets older in the future, will he mess around?

The little girl is not well-educated and is easily coaxed by men, so her elders think more about it.

Li's niece who suffered a young man was pity for her niece, but she didn't want her niece to suffer any compromise at all in the marriage. She obviously has the capital to marry better, just like Li Jinbao, the son of Madam Li. Why should she be a refrain for Lu Cheng?

Pan saw Li's unwillingness.

In fact, she knew that Ningxiang had agreed and the marriage had already been completed, but could she tell Li directly to let her meddle in other people's business? In Ningxiang's heart, Li and her mother were no different. If the Lu family wanted everyone to form this marriage happily, they had to coax the Li couple and his wife. They had to persuade them to agree, so they could only persuade Ningxiang.

"Sister-in-law, I know what you are concerned about." Pan moved to Li and whispered to her, "Our boss married once, and Anan is still there. Xiang'er was wronged to marry him. But those are all big things. Whether this woman lives well after marriage depends on how the man treats her. Sister-in-law said it? Don't look at the boss marrying him, he doesn't treat Anan's mother at all..."

Li didn't like to listen, so he frowned and interrupted: "Then why did he..."

Since I don’t like it, why did I get an adult’s stomach before marriage? Now that I’m dead, I immediately changed my words, which is really heartbreaking.

Pan was not panicked, looked outside the door and said his guess, "Miss Feng saved A Tao once, and the boss always remembered her kindness. But Miss Feng was forced to marry by her family. If she didn't marry herself earlier, she would have to marry her stepmother. She is lustful, how can she have a good relationship after marriage?"

This sentence has a profound meaning.

Li's heart turned a few times, looked at Pan's, and whispered: "You mean, Lu Cheng doesn't like Miss Feng, he just married her to repay her kindness and help her escape from the sea of ​​suffering? Then Anan..."

Pan sighed, thinking of Mr. Feng's despise of the poor and loving the rich, and said, "Miss Feng is fine. Her father will never marry her to our boss, so the two of them came up with such a bad idea. But sister-in-law, you believe me, I didn't say that to coax you. The boss is indeed polite to Miss Feng. When the person got married, he arranged to sleep with A Tao. The two of them didn't say a word of warmth. Miss Feng died, but the boss was sorry but not sad. He should eat and drink. Because of this, my third aunt and I guessed it."

This is indeed a thing of the past.

No matter how dissatisfied with Lu Cheng's identity as a widower, Li would not deny Lu Cheng's character. He really did not look like a disheartened man.

But even in order to repay the kindness, it can only prove that Lu Cheng didn't deliberately take advantage of the girl before marriage, but he could not change the fact that he was a widower. He had to be a stepmother when he married her niece.

Li is just arguing for his niece.

Pan said everything he could say. Seeing that Li showed no sign of letting go, he smiled and said with apologizing: "Why should my sister-in-law discuss with Qiu'er's father first? We really want to get this marriage, so I'll keep this thing here first. I'll listen to the news the day after tomorrow."

After all, they are familiar with each other and the relationship between the two families is good. Li regained his smile and nodded to ease the atmosphere and said, "Okay, and we can't make the decision on this matter. We still have to ask Xiang'er what she thinks. She doesn't like it, we won't be willing, right?"

Pan echoed softly, and the two of them politely said, and Pan offered to say goodbye.

The elders left the house, Lu Fu and Lu Rong knew that their mother was leaving, so they all said goodbye to Ningxiang.

Ningxiang's face was red and asked her cousin to give it to her.

She stood in the room, nervously desperate. Sure enough, after seeing off the guests, Li went straight to this side.

"Xiang'er, tell me the truth. Are you getting along with Lu Cheng?" As soon as he entered the room, Li closed the door and stared at his niece and asked.

If it weren't for the good time, even if my niece knew that Pan came here today, she wouldn't have cleaned the yard early.

Ningxiang's face was thin and red. She leaned against the edge of the kang and lowered her head to stop talking.

The little girl was as beautiful as a flower, but Li felt that her flower was about to be picked.

"Xiang'er, why do you like him?" Knowing that his niece was ashamed, Li walked to the little girl and sat down, asking in a soft voice.

Ningxiang also understood what prejudice my aunt would have against Lu Cheng. She hesitated for a moment, looked at her skirt and said stutteringly, "Auntie, he is kind to me. Since I was the first time I came back from his car, and later every time he went to pick me up, I scolded him and he went there too. He knew that I had to use twenty taels of redemption, and after selling the cherries, he gave me all the money. I refused once, and he secretly stuffed it..."

Li was stunned.

There was nothing to do with it. Lu Cheng was willing to give all the money to his niece. Twenty taels, that was not a small amount, nor was it the gift that he would bring back to the Lu family after his fiancée got married, and handed it to the Marquis's mansion. It was gone as soon as he took action. At that time, Lu Cheng could not have known that the Marquis's wife would not want her niece to redeem her silver.

This intention is indeed true, no wonder my niece likes him.

"Then don't you dislike him for being a kinship?" Li took his niece's hand and patted it gently, "Xiang'er, it's not easy to be a stepmother."

Ningxiang did not explain Anan's true life experience, and mustered up his courage to look up and look at the elder who was dedicated to her good deeds. "Auntie, I like Anan. I will teach him well and take a step back. Anan really doesn't want to accept me in the future. As Lu Cheng said, I have helped him build a house and distributed it. Usually, there is nothing to be afraid of."

The little girl clearly thought about it carefully. Li snorted and pinched her nose and said, "What if Lu Cheng couldn't bear to part with his son and refused to divide Anan out?"

"Then I won't live with him anymore, go home and join my aunt." I knew that my aunt agreed, Ningxiang buried it in the arms of the elder and acted coquettishly.

Li patted the niece in her arms, and suddenly remembered what her niece said, and deliberately raised her voice: "No, I remember who told me that she would not get married within two years... Wait, I have to think about it carefully. If you don't want to get married early, Amu is still young, so why not get engaged first. When Amu is ten years old, Anan can see that she is so poor at the age of seven or eight. She is such a ungrateful wolf. We have returned the engagement gift from the Lu family and will not marry him anymore!"

Ningxiang knew that her elders were teasing her, and she was so embarrassed that she refused to leave her warm embrace.

At noon, the whole family knew about Lu Cheng's proposal.

Xu Shouliang was one hundred people who were unwilling to do so, and was dragged into the house by Li and explained quietly. Xu Shouliang pursed his lips and was skeptical of Pan's words. "The mouth is on them, so of course he will choose nice words. Who knows the truth?"

Li himself disliked Lu Chengxing. When he heard her husband acted stubbornly, he immediately twisted him, "Stop talking nonsense, Lu Cheng is not like a bad guy? Besides, you can do this with twenty taels of silver for Xiang'er at once? Now Xiang'er is willing. If you don't agree, go and tell her, don't expect me to pass on the message for you two."

How could Xu Shouliang, a big man, have the nerve to tell his niece about this?

Since he couldn't say it, he wouldn't have interrupted the marriage.

But he is not the only man in the Xu family who opposes this marriage, and the five-year-old Amu is not happy either!

"Sister, don't get married..." The boy got into Ningxiang's arms and started crying. The sister liked Anan, and she hugged Anan for half a day and didn't let go, because at night her sister hugged him to sleep, and Anan only came once a few days later. Amu was willing to coax him. But when her sister got married, she became Anan's mother. At night, she hugged Anan to sleep and no longer liked him.

The more I thought about it, the sadder I felt, Amu cried so hard.

Li was worried when he heard this. His nephew was only five years old. He looked like his sister and his biological mother. How could he be so easy to separate?

Ningxiang felt even more distressed and carried her younger brother back to the west courtyard. No matter how she persuaded her, she had to promise her younger brother that she would not marry first.

Amu believed it or not, and Dazhuang called him to play with him and would not go there, guarding his sister without leaving any steps, which made Li and others laugh and cry.

~

Donglin Village.

Lu Cheng was restless.

My aunt came back from the Xu family and told her that Xu Shouliang and his wife were a little sad. Even if she believed that Ningxiang would definitely persuade the two elders, his heart was also hanging high, afraid that something would happen to the marriage. Not afraid, Ningxiang's soft temperament, what if Xu Shouliang and his wife were persuaded to regret it if they didn't persuade the elders well, they would regret it?

I didn't sleep well all night, and the next day Lu Cheng went to the orchard and didn't want his two younger brothers to make jokes.

When he came back at dusk, Lu Cheng went to find Pan and called him to the yard. He said firmly: "Second Aunt, you go there tomorrow. If they still don't agree, you say that as long as they agree, I will do whatever I want and I will give you as much bet."

He decided that Ningxiang would marry her back even if he had to sell the goods.

Pan was both amused and relieved when his nephew valued Ningxiang so much, and was happy to find the destined person for his nephew.

The next day, Pan went to Xu's house again and went alone.

Amu happened to come out of the cottage. When he saw her, he cried and rubbed his eyes and drove her away: "My sister said she would not marry, don't come to our house!"

Ningxiang was sewing a quilt in the room. When she heard her brother's aggrieved cry, she felt sad and was about to go downstairs in a hurry.

"Don't go out, I'll take Amu back." The girl who was discussing her kiss could not go out. Guan Ping stopped him and quickly carried Amu.

Pan, who was full of confusion over there, was also invited into the house by Li.

Li didn't keep it indifferent anymore, and said to the truth: "Xiang'er is willing. Her uncle and I listened to her, but Amu couldn't bear to let her sister go and cried and refused to let her sister get married. Xiang'er loves her younger brother the most and regards her younger brother as more than her life. When she heard Amu crying, she was embarrassed. If Lu Chengzhen wants to marry Xiang'er, go back and ask him if she can get married first and get married in two years? Amu is too young now, Xiang'er just returned home, and he can't live without her sister. She said yesterday that when Xiang'er went to the cottage, he was waiting outside, for fear that his sister would leave him and run away."

Pan's laughed and cried.

Who could have expected that Amu was the person who decided whether this marriage would be successful? The little guy disagreed, it was more effective than Xu Shouliang and his wife. The eldest sister was like a mother, Ningxiang felt sorry for her younger brother, so she must take care of her younger brother's ideas.
