The Sima family's manor is the best building in the village, and it is instantly recognizable. In this small village, it is just a two-story house built of stone, surrounded by several acres www.biquge.info of fields, and an old well that is very deep. But compared to other people's shacks made of branches and thatch and a little yellow mud, such a house is not to mention how magnificent and enviable.

Today, there is a happy event in the Sima family: it is said that the eldest young master of the village chief's family, Sima Gongzi, has returned from outside the mountain. Therefore, the village chief's family specially slaughtered a big fat pig weighing 300 catties and feasted all the villagers in the village. Such a large amount of money cannot be taken out by other people's homes. In terms of fat pigs alone, only the village chief's family can raise so many of them, not to mention how expensive they are.

There were five or six tables in the courtyard, and they were all crowded with people at this time. On each table is a large bowl of shiny braised pork. The villagers were smiling, their chopsticks were flying, and even the children, who had always been naughty, buried their faces in the high rice bowls, and they didn't bother to look up when they ate.

In the hall, it was the village chief's family gathered around the table. There were happy smiles on everyone's faces.

"Good, good. It's good to come back, it's good to come back!" Don't look at the village chief's always majestic appearance in front of people, at this moment, a pair of eyes flashed with tears of excitement. The village chief's wife couldn't help but tear up, but looked at her long-lost son with love, as if she couldn't see enough. And the old naughty elder, who always liked to tell stories and play with the children, sat on the main seat and laughed so much that all eyes were squinted.

"Grandpa is fine, dad and mother are healthy, and the child's heart is satisfied. ”

The speaker was a young man in his early twenties. This young man has sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and he looks quite handsome. Probably because of the long-term wandering, a pair of eyes are even more experienced, looking forward to flying. Just looking at the spirits, it is different from the ordinary villagers outside the courtyard. Everyone has to say when they see it, this young master of the Sima family is worthy of seeing the world outside.

"By the way, I saw my sister just now, how can people ...... now" Sima Jian couldn't help but look around as he spoke. But I saw that in the huge hall, except for the one or two villagers who helped serve the food, the girl who had been sticking to her since the morning was nowhere to be found.

"She?" the corners of the village chief's wife's mouth twitched, and she said angrily: "This dead girl, she must have gone to the kitchen to get meat and send it to Ah Ling's little girl." "Although it is a banquet for the villagers, the three hundred pounds of fat pigs are also meat. This girl in her family is generous, and every time she gives a gift to Na Ling, it is a big bowl full of real money.

"Oh. Ah Ling, ah......" Sima Jian showed a look of surprise on his face. If you want to say that this Ah Ling, he also grew up watching it from such a small age, so he naturally knows that the relationship between these two little girls is so good.

"Speaking of which, Ah Ling is also a big girl. Eleven...... Two, yes, I should be twelve years old. "Recalling the last time I came back, the little girl was only seven or eight years old, with a yellow face and thin muscles, and her temperament was very ignorant and lively. Now that her own girls have been so beautiful and moving, she hasn't had time to see what the girl has looked like.

The village chief and his wife exchanged glances.

This Ah Ling has grown up in their parents since he was a child. Although it is raised by the villagers of the whole village, after all, it is still mainly their Sima family. The elder treats that girl like his own granddaughter Ah Die. The village chief and his wife admit that they have also done their best. But compared with the elders, the two of them have an extra layer of thought: In these years, which family raised an orphan girl like this, didn't they save the idea of letting her inherit the family lineage? To put it bluntly, that is, to raise a child and a daughter-in-law. If it weren't for Sima Jian's constant wandering over the years, I'm afraid that the two of them would have already become a family affair.

Regarding Ah Ling's appearance, the village chief and his wife are quite satisfied. Although this child is not as good as his own daughter, and he is still young and has not yet grown, he is also a little thin and dry. But looking at the whole village, there is no better looking little girl than her. If you want to match your own precious son, your appearance naturally can't be worse.

"Jian'er, come back this time, you see, you will stay for a while, how about it? Mother and your father don't have many days left, so it's better for you to take this opportunity to do things with Ah Ling." Huh?"

"Do it, do it, do it, what do you do?" Facing his mother's eager eyes, Sima Jian couldn't help but stiffen. This isn't what he thinks, is it?...... What are you kidding, that Ah Ling is still a child. Besides, even if he is willing, Ah Die won't toss him to death?

"Oops!" Seeing her son's embarrassed face, the village chief's wife only thought that he was shy, and couldn't help but smile on her face. He urged even more: "Silly child, this man should marry and the woman should get married, our family has raised that girl for all these years, and it should be time for her to spread the branches and leaves for you, and the heirs will continue." ”

"This ......" Sima Jian was anxious. Why is he still talking more and more energetically? If this continues, she will have to live everything without a shadow.

"Smack!" Sima Jian's heart turned, and he was about to speak, but it was the old man Sima on the throne who was faster than him. As soon as the old man lost his temper, he slapped the chopsticks in his hand on the table immediately. The village chief's wife suddenly disappeared from her face and changed to a deferential face.

"Hmph. Grace and retribution, how can my Sima family be such a small-bellied and chicken-hearted household?" Master Sima was really angry in his heart. He loves Ah Ling, but he pities his loneliness, and he is well-behaved and filial. What's more, since she was a child, even Adie's daughter refused to listen to his Rory's rambling story, only that girl, even if she heard it countless times, she still listened to it with relish every time. For him, Ah Ling is the same as Ah Die, they are his own granddaughters, and they have never separated each other.

"That's all I have to say. If you want Ah Jian to marry Ah Ling, unless Ah Ling's daughter agrees to this matter, my Sima family will never allow you to bully others, or show favors and persecute her. If you don't take my old man seriously, huh!"

"Yes, yes. After a reprimand, he only said that the village chief's wife was red-faced, and the village chief was embarrassed. Sima Jian, who was only on the side, breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately raised a big smile on his face, and stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a big piece of meat for the old man: "Grandpa has taught him a lesson." Ah Ling is my sister-in-law to me, and my grandson definitely doesn't have that kind of mind. Grandpa can rest assured. Come, come, this is the grandson honoring you. Grandpa is healthy and long-lived, as blessed as the East China Sea, this is what his grandson wants. ”

The village chief and his wife glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but show a wry smile on their faces.

The corner of Sima Jian's eyes swept over his father's face, and there was a hint of deep thought in his eyes.

"Dad, mother. As the old saying goes, why should a husband have no wife? Now is the time for a child to make meritorious contributions, and this is not in a hurry to marry a wife and have children. However, your second elder still has a daughter, and I also have a sister-in-law, but now it's time to find a fast son-in-law who rides the dragon. ”

When Sima Jian came back this time, he was pestered by his sister-in-law, and he had to promise to take her out to see it. In fact, he himself did not have this idea in his heart.

Sima Jian has been away for many years, and he also knows that his sister's color is not only in this small village, even if you look at the world, there are not many women who can reach it. If you hide in this valley all your life, you will inevitably be a pearl covered with dust. He has no intention of using his sister for his own personal gain, but it is the duty of his brother to find a wishful husband for his sister.

"Chenglong fast son-in-law, Jian'er, what do you mean...... Yes?"

"Dad, mother, grandpa, there are some words that I don't know whether to say or not. Sima Jian paused. Although I don't know whether to talk about it or not, I didn't hesitate in my mouth: "From our appearance, to our family background, in the entire village, no one can match." Presumably, my father and mother have been worried about this matter for a long time...... However, it's not my boast of being a brother, even if I want to be matched with a man of the next rank in the world, Ah Die will not fall behind. Therefore ......"

Sima Jian did not finish his words. But the meaning is clear.

There was silence on the table. Sima Jian knew that if he wanted to leave his beloved daughter, his father and mother would definitely be reluctant in his heart. But for the sake of Adie's life, they will agree in the end. He didn't open his mouth to disturb their thoughts. But no one noticed that the old man Sima on the side slowly and slowly put down the chopsticks in his hand, and a trace of sadness appeared faintly in his eyes that were so slitted that people couldn't see clearly. For a long time, he sighed softly, without making a sound.

Young people, ambitious and impulsive, only know that the world is big outside, but how can they know that the turmoil in the outside world can be as peaceful as the tranquility of this mountain village......

"Sword. Village Chief Sima straightened his body, and a solemn look gradually appeared on his face. Even as the village chief, he had to ensure his majesty at all times, and such expressions rarely appeared on his face.

You know, Adie is his daughter. It's his only daughter!

Seeing his father like this, Sima Jian also cleaned up his color, his face was calm, and his eyes looked back at the past firmly.

"Jian'er, Die'er is your sister-in-law. Do you dare to swear that if you take her out this time, you will protect her thoroughly, and you will put her lifelong happiness first in everything, and you will not put her in fire and water for your own selfish desires. If you can't, you'...... You ...... "Even if he can't do it, so what?" Village Chief Sima couldn't help but wonder for a moment: Ah Die is his daughter, and Ah Jian is also his only son. If you really want him to make some extremely vicious oath, how can he, who has a strict father's heart, really give it up?

"Dad, the child is willing to swear here, this time, I will definitely protect my sister's thoughtfulness with all my heart, and put her lifelong happiness first in everything. If I, Sima Jian, harmed my sister for my own personal gain, I am willing to thunder and thunder in the sky, and I will not be able to live in ten thousand catastrophes. ”

"Jian'er!" the village chief's wife exclaimed, and her face suddenly turned pale. Even the village chief opened his eyes wide, and his eyes uncontrollably showed a look of shock.

"Why should my father and mother worry? The child loves his sister with all his heart, and he will definitely find a good son-in-law for his sister, how can this vow be fulfilled?" Sima Jian smiled slightly, and his warm smile made people feel like a spring breeze.
