At this time, Da Ya raised her eyes and suddenly noticed He Chongda outside the door, and smiled and said, "Brother He, why are you here?"
With this smile, a cute dimples fell from his cheeks, his eyes were like a pool of clear water, and there was a bookish temperament between his eyebrows.
He Chongda was stunned.
He has always felt that the most beautiful and beautiful girl in Xinghua Village is Niu Yunru from the old Niu family. She is gorgeous and noble, like a proud peacock, not the same type of people as them, the country people.
Of course, this is not just him who thinks so, but his partner of the same age also thinks so.
They also have self-knowledge. A girl as beautiful as Niu Yunru will naturally not marry a farmer like them. Niu Yunru has no concealed her disgust and disliked them at all. Even if she looked at them, she would feel dirty.
But everyone has a love for beauty. There are many young people in the village who admire Niu Yunru, and they also believe that they also include He Zhongda.
He Chongda was about to reach the age of discussing marriage. Many companions of his age began to discuss marriage, and even some betrothal gifts were given. Just when the girl was in her prime, she could carry the girl home.
But He Chongda knew the situation at home. He had seven younger brothers, and even food and clothing were a problem. When his younger brother grew up, the burden would not be reduced, but would become more and more burden-bearing.
Because the He family has no land and can only rely on short-term work to subsidize their family income, but once a brother wants to discuss marriage, the betrothal gift will be a mountain above the He family.
Not to mention the betrothal gifts of eight people, even one person is very difficult to get.
He Chongda has heard that some families with more brothers cannot bear too many betrothal gifts and can only marry a girl. Four or five brothers share a wife. This is called "couple".
However, normal people will not push their girls into the fire pit.
Therefore, women who "couple" have either a bad reputation or some girls from families who prefer boys over girls, and some are women who are sold in teeth stores. They are generally older, in their twenties and thirties.
The first one is actually similar to selling a daughter, and the gifts required are extremely high, while the second one is also spending a lot of money.
He Chongdazhong never thought about "couple". He felt that this was a humiliation to the woman. Even if he never married his wife in his life, he would not let the brothers have one woman together.
As the saying goes, elder brother is like father, elder sister-in-law is like mother, and elder son in the family needs to help parents take care of younger brothers and sisters and take charge of housework.
So much so that He Chongda, the eldest son, had poor family, had no land and had many brothers, and married him, he had to take on all the burdens of his family.
Therefore, He Chongda naturally became the existence of the plague god in the hearts of the girls in the village, and he could not be avoided.
Even some girls who admire He Zhongda’s handsomeness will be extinguished and budged by their parents.
Well, reality is so cruel.
Later, the old Niu family made a joke, and Niu Yunru slandered her cousin.
The young men who admire Niu Yunru did not lose their admiration for Niu Yunru because of this. Instead, they felt that this was an opportunity.
Niu Yunru has stigma and the conditions will naturally decrease, so they have a chance.
What they want is that person, not character.
But He Chongda sneered at it. No matter how poor his family is, even if Niu Yunru is beautiful, he will not marry a messenger home.
Now, compared with the Da Ya in front of him, he suddenly realized that Niu Yunru could not compare with Da Ya. If it must be compared, it would be the difference between flowers and weeds, and Da Ya was the beautiful flower blooming.
"Brother He family!" Da Ya blushed and shouted when he was looking at it so calmly.
He Chongda suddenly came to his senses, blushed, and suddenly lowered his head. He also knew that he had lost his composure just now, but at this moment his heart was like a deer bumping around, and he actually forgot what he was going to do when he came to the Niu family.
"Are you here to find my father? My father and Uncle Shi Hu have not come back to hunting yet." Da Ya didn't know what was panic in He Chongda's heart at this moment, and said softly.
"Is that true?" He Chongda subconsciously scratched his head, his face blushed with embarrassment, and he laughed foolishly.
Looking at He Chongda's somewhat silly look, Da Ya covered her mouth and laughed, "But my mother is at home. If you have anything to do, can you tell me about it?"
No major reaction was allowed, Da Ya had turned her head and walked into the house with small steps.
After a while, Li Xianglan walked out of the house, and Da Ya followed her. Li Xianglan smiled and said, "It's important, did your mother ask you to come?"
Usually, children come here by their parents.
He Chongda said a little embarrassedly: "Aunt Lan, I heard from Grandpa Zhou that your family wants to build a house. I want to ask if your family still hires someone?"
In ancient times, the main purpose of building houses was wood. Whoever did the best job of carpenters was undoubtedly the village Carpenter Zhou. He was an old carpenter who had been practicing since childhood. As a result, many people would hire Carpenter Zhou to build houses or build houses.
"Please! If your father wants to come over to help, then come over the day after tomorrow." Li Xianglan smiled.
He Chongda lowered his head and finally plucked up the courage to say, "Aunt Lan, I also want to come here to do short-term work!"
Li Xianglan was stunned for a moment, and looked at the eleven-year-old boy with a flushed face in front of her. She knew the situation of the He family and smiled and said, "What did I think it was? It's okay, more people come and build it quickly!"
"Aunt Lan, do you agree?" He Chongda's face was a little uncontrollable.
Li Xianglan nodded with a smile.
"Thank you Aunt Lan!" He Chongda said gratefully.
"You kid are so polite, but building a house is very hard!" Li Xianglan said.
"Aunt Lan, I'm not afraid of suffering!" He Chongda's eyes were firm. Compared to suffering, he was more afraid of hunger. "Aunt Lan, I'll go back and talk to my father!"
...
After Niu Dali returned home, Li Xianglan told him about what happened to He Chongda during the day.
He actually had no objection to Li Xianglan agreeing to the He family's father and son coming to help. He would not mention that the last time the He family saved Daya and Erya, so he said that during this period, the five boys of the He family have been following Erya. Erya pointed to the west, and these five boys dared not go east.
Just based on this point, the He family will not only come to help, even if the He family has any trouble in the future, as long as they can do it, Niu Dali will not refuse.
"Brother Dali, we just finished digging the well and built the house. Will the villagers have any ideas?"
At night, the couple lay on the bed and chatted.
Li Xianglan looked worried. She was not worried about money. During this period, Brother Dali went up the mountain and got a good harvest. The family's money was more than 100 taels. Not to mention just building, it would be fine even if the house was rebuilt.
However, they had just split up, and they were digging wells and building houses. She was worried that the villagers would talk about it behind their backs.
Niu Dali lay on his side, looking at the pretty Li Xianglan. It was his idea to build the house. The house they lived in was too dilapidated. When it rained, there were all kinds of leaks and they couldn't make up for it.
"What do you think? I got the money for repairing the house because I went up the mountain to hunt and hunt. They envy me and could make money in the mountain!" Niu Dali said with a silly smile.
If the house was rebuilt not long after the separation, the villagers would have thoughts, but now, he can go up the mountain to hunt and will not return empty-handed every time, making all the villagers subtly believe that their family is getting better.
There are more or less discussions.
After all, there was no leisure activity in ancient times, and in my spare time I just talked about others.
