"But it doesn't matter," Xiao Qian said: "I will ask your eldest brother and the others to save more this year. When your fourth brother goes to the capital again, I will ask him to transport two tanks for you. Aunt Rong can also make spicy food, not only mutton

, this pork is also very good for making sauerkraut, but the best thing is probably beef, but unfortunately beef is not often available. The last time I used it to make sauerkraut, it was because Magistrate Yang wanted to eat it, and he sent a piece of beef over..."

The two aunts and sisters were chatting and talking about the eldest daughter Zhou Lixin. Xiao Qian said: "Early this morning, someone came from the eldest son's house to invite my father over. It should be to discuss the wedding date. In a few days, the big girl will be here."

You might be getting married soon."

Man Bao was surprised, "Are you in such a hurry?"

Xiao Qian smiled and said, "You have just come back, so you feel that time is tight and you are in a hurry. But in fact, this marriage has been proposed for half a year since their family had planned it."

She said: "It was decided in October. The eighth day of this month was supposed to be a good day, but my family thought that you would come back for the New Year, and Da Ya was the first one in their generation to get married, so she thought about it.

I had to come back and get it all together, so I delayed it."

People in the country don't pay as much attention to marriage as they do in the city. As long as they don't get married in time for the farming season, the woman will basically not have any big objections.

Now, neither the old Zhou family nor the Li Chang family are short of money. As long as they want to hold a happy event, they can do so at any time.

Xiao Qian lowered his voice and said: "If we don't do it before the New Year, the farming will be busy soon after the New Year. We will definitely not be willing to let Da Ya get married at that time, so we have to wait until the Qingming Festival is over to clear the fields after the New Year."

We have to finish planting the seedlings in there. Guan Yong is not young anymore, and his family still wants to marry a wife as soon as possible."

It is convenient for others and for oneself. We all want to be in-laws. Although we have to earn face for each other's children, we also need to be considerate of each other. Therefore, Zhou Dalang and Xiao Qian agreed to get married years ago. Today, Lao Zhoutou and Zhou Dalang went to the village to grow up.

The wedding date was discussed at home.

Man Bao ate up the noodles and asked, "Why did dad and eldest brother go to their house instead of their house to ours?"

Xiao Qian said with a smile: "I came here the day before yesterday. Isn't it because your return date is uncertain, so dad can't decide the date for a while? Who knows that not long after they left, you came back in the evening, and the family has already collected the heavy goods for the period.

It’s hard to accept the gift a second time. It happened that Dad heard that someone was selling cows in Dali Village, and he wanted to go and have a look, so he stopped by."

Manbao's eyes lit up, "Do you want to buy a cow for your family?"

Xiao Qian nodded, "We have some savings at home. Dad said we can raise another cow. Not only can we share the burden on weekdays, but we can also give birth to calves. Now your fourth brother, fifth brother and sixth brother are all outside, and your second brother comes from time to time."

I also have to take care of the business in Yizhou City, and I can’t take care of the work in the fields. It’s still tiring to rely on the people at home.”

Man Bao said: "Please invite someone, otherwise you will be too tired."

Xiao Qian shook his head, "Where do we need to hire people? Wheat, rice and beans are all planted at the wrong time. It doesn't matter if we plant them slower."

Manbao started to think deeply.

It is indeed difficult for her father to spend money to hire someone.

Man Bao's eyes swept across the yard and asked: "Sister-in-law, can I build a house on the vacant land over there?"

Xiao Qian followed her gaze and shook his head: "Our family's homestead has been approved. If we want it again, we will have to split it up. Otherwise, we have to buy it. But our family is not short of houses now."

There is no shortage of houses for people to live in, but there is a shortage of houses for cows to live in.

Man Bao took out the bowl to wash, then sat opposite Xiao Qian and peeled beans together, "Sister-in-law, what dowry has the family prepared for Daya?"

"A few quilts, new clothes, and a rattan box. She has kept all the money herself in the past few years. Mom said she would give her two more copper coins for hanging the box," Xiao Qian paused here and lowered his voice.

The voice said: "Your elder brother and I are thinking of giving her two copper coins for lifting the pressure box."

"Then she will stay in the village to farm when she gets married?"

Xiao Qian sighed: "Farming is too tiring, but she has been doing this since she was a child, so she is not afraid."

Man Bao gave her an idea, "Sister-in-law, let Daya continue to work in the restaurant, give her monthly money, and tell the headman's family that when you get old, you can give her the shop as a dowry.

Their family must be willing."

Xiao Qian's eyebrows jumped and she whispered: "Don't talk nonsense, she still has an older brother and a younger brother."

If my father-in-law finds out, he will definitely be angry.

Man Bao obviously knew this, and also lowered his voice and said: "Li Zhong has done a good job in the capital. Our family has a shop in the capital. I think the fourth brother is now addicted to running a business. From now on, Li Zhong will do a good job in the capital."

Zhong definitely doesn’t like your shop. I asked several of them at Lixue yesterday, and the one with the best education now, besides Sanya, is Lixue.”

Man Bao whispered: "I didn't know until I went out that there are a lot of people studying in this world. To get ahead, it's not enough to just be able to farm and do business. You also have to be able to read and be an examiner. You are not stupid to start a school. Let them

Go out and study, he is the right age."

Xiao Qian was stunned, "Can three heads be an examiner?"

"He may not pass the exam, but if he has read so many books, he will have the ability to settle down and make a living," Man Bao said, "So you don't have to worry about him. Then there is no need for this shop to establish importance and education. Then

Just give it to Da Ya, so she can feel more relaxed."

Xiao Qian hesitated, "But there are still Ertou and the others..."

"This is your shop, what does it have to do with Er Tou and the others?"

Xiao Qian: ...She and the old Zhou family never thought so.

Although the shop is in her name and has been run by her, except for the share of the monthly profit that is handed over to the public servant, the rest is in her hands, but in her heart she feels that this is the old Zhou family.

industry.

She believed that her father-in-law and the rest of the family thought so too.

After all, Manbao bought it for her with his own money.

She herself had already planned that this shop would be given to Datou in the future, but now Manbao said...

Man Bao encouraged her, "Li Zhong and the others have been outside and have seen a lot of things in the world. In the future, they will definitely go out too. After all, only Da Ya has never traveled far, and there are no others."

I have the opportunity to learn other things. My mother always said that being the main person in the household means everything is fair, but you also have to take care of the weaker children. Like my mother to the third brother, because he is honest and has no other income, she always quietly supplements them...

"

Xiao Qianshi:... Why should you tell her that your mother-in-law secretly subsidizes the third child?

Man Bao continued without realizing it: "I also know that it is difficult for sons and daughters to keep the same balance, but now that Li Zhong and Li Xue have a better future, then you can quietly subsidize them."

Ah, that’s nothing.”

Xiao Qian's heart became excited. After hesitating for a while, he said, "Then won't this shop belong to the Guan family in the future? If my parents and the other tenants find out..."

"Well, as I said, I gave this shop to you. Of course you can give it to whomever you want." Man Bao leaned on Xiao Qian's knees and looked up at her and said, "Sister-in-law, please give it to me immediately.
