Xiao Jiu lived to the age of thirty in his last life, and he didn't know what it was like to "gently touch his head and kill" that was popular on the rivers and lakes, but he didn't expect to live for a long time. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Yan Xi looked at the little girl with her head down, her cheeks were crimson, and her red mouth was slightly upturned, he breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, thinking that the little girl didn't blame him for being light, and he was a little happy in his heart.
Xiao Jiu was only shy for a moment, and soon returned to normal, and became a little closer to Yan Xi, and asked curiously, "What is the border pass like?"
Xiao Jiu has no memories of the past, and after coming to the Xiao family, she hardly goes out, so she doesn't know anything about this country, especially since this is ancient times, she is still quite curious.
"It's depressed, it's poor, and there aren't many people. Yan Xi didn't say much, for fear of scaring the simple little girl.
It's just that he doesn't know that in his eyes, a simple little girl, but from the modern society of the information explosion, she has seen a lot of the cruelty of war on TV, where will she be scared?
"Oh. Xiao Jiu thought for a while, and then asked, "Is there not much food?"
Yan Xi thought that the little girl was worried about having no food to eat, so she smiled faintly and said softly, "I won't be hungry for you." ”
Xiao Jiu pouted and didn't say anything, so she didn't worry about starving herself.
Now that the little girl's mind was determined, Yan Xi didn't get an inch further, and after filling Xiao Jiu's back basket with dead branches, he personally carried it down the mountain.
Although the weight of a basket of firewood was only the weight of a hair in Xiao Jiu's opinion, Yan Xi's initiative to carry the basket still won Xiao Jiu's favor.
Xiao Jiu was happy in his heart, and when he went home, he was smiling, obviously very satisfied with Yan Xi.
Mrs. Xiao moved a small stool, sat at the gate of Xiao's house, saw her good granddaughter and prospective grandson-in-law coming from a distance, hurriedly got up, and when Xiao Jiu approached, she dragged her into the back room, and asked with low concern: "Xiao Jiu'er, what's wrong?"
"It's good, my grandmother's vision of people is good. Xiao Jiu didn't forget to pat a little fart.
Mrs. Xiao didn't ask this, but seeing that her granddaughter still looked unenlightened, she didn't say anything more.
Xiao Jiu and Yan Xi's family affair was so decided, Xiao Jiu didn't know what Mrs. Xiao said to Yan Xi, but when the evening meal was served, the village chief took his daughter-in-law to the door to propose marriage.
The village chief is only in his early forties this year, and he is quite fair, although he doesn't know Yanxi's identity, but this is arranged by the top to go to Peach Blossom Village to recuperate, so he set up the house at the foot of the village tail mountain, in order to be clean.
It's okay on weekdays, and the village chief won't come to disturb Yan Xi, but I didn't expect Yan Xi to take the initiative to find him today, and he said that it was still a family affair with the adopted daughter of the Xiao family.
This frightened the village chief, and he didn't delay at all, and came over with his wife after eating.
"Auntie, I'm here today to propose marriage. The village chief's daughter-in-law is a straightforward person, "Although Ah Chen's father and mother have just gone, it is not appropriate for me to mention this, but Xiao Jiu'er is also fifteen years old this year, and she really has to keep filial piety for three years, and she is a big girl, so she should set her family affairs anyway." ”
"Xiao Jiu'er looks good, I know that my aunt also takes Xiao Jiu'er to beware of liver pain, and I won't open this mouth with you in ordinary people, but this is really suitable, he is alone at home, he doesn't have to serve his in-laws and sister-in-law, he can be in charge of the house when he enters the door, he looks so capable, the key is to live close, and he can help you in the future, we can't pick out such a good young man in ten miles and eight villages." ”
The village chief's daughter-in-law is a well-known clever mouth, and she praised Yanxi well, Xiao Jiu was a little embarrassed to listen to it outside, but people said it sincerely.
Mrs. Xiao listened carefully to the village chief's daughter-in-law's words, as if she didn't know at all that the person who came to propose marriage was Yan Xi, and sighed: "It's a coincidence that you came, I also mean that, I was about to show Xiao Jiu'er what she wanted, so you came." ”
After a pause, he asked, "Knowing that you are real people, which one are you praising people to heaven?"
The village chief's daughter-in-law thought that she would be scolded, but she knew that it would be a good thing to send a pillow when she was sleepy, so she suddenly smiled and hurriedly replied: "It's Yanxi from the family next door to my aunt, although she is older, she will hurt people when she is older, and she will not treat Xiao Jiu'er badly." ”
Mrs. Xiao's expression was faint, and she didn't speak, as if she was seriously thinking about something.
The village chief's daughter-in-law was about to say something more, but was pulled by the village chief, so she stopped talking and didn't speak again.
The village chief looked at Mrs. Xiao's appearance, and seemed to be reluctant, and said slowly: "Auntie, although Yanxi is from another village, he is a capable person, although I don't know his identity, but Xiao Jiu'er will be happy in the future if she marries him." ”
Xiao Jiu secretly looked at Mrs. Xiao's face through the window, and she couldn't be happy.
is obviously the initiator, and he actually bluffed the village chief and his family for a moment, milk, the world owes you a little golden man.
"Sister, what are you looking at?"
Xiao Jiuzheng was secretly happy, and suddenly heard Xiao Douding whispering in her ear, and she was startled.
"I didn't see anything. ”
Xiao Jiu hurriedly picked up Xiao Douding and quietly went back to the back room, anyway, she knew that Mrs. Xiao would definitely agree to the marriage, and there was nothing to look at.
In the hall, Mrs. Xiao was silent for a long time before she slowly spoke: "I originally wanted to keep Xiao Jiu'er for a few years, but I was afraid that she would not find a suitable one when she was eighteen, since both of you spoke for Yanxi, it can be seen that he is a good ......."
The village chief and the village chief's daughter-in-law looked at Mrs. Xiao nervously, for fear that she would say something to refuse.
"Alright, the old woman agreed to the marriage. ”
As soon as Mrs. Xiao's voice fell, the village chief's daughter-in-law laughed, "Since my aunt agreed, then we changed the Geng post and wrote the marriage letter, and this matter is also done." ”
Yan Xi's Geng post was given to the village chief before he came, and he also took it out and handed it to Mrs. Xiao.
changed the Geng post and wrote the marriage book, and the marriage between Yan Xi and Xiao Jiu was also considered clear, and they just waited for the next hire to pick a good day to marry.
"Auntie, you see that this family matter has been decided, when is this day set?" The village chief's daughter-in-law said with some apprehension: "Yan Xi is twenty years old, and the eldest is not too old......
Xiao Jiu has filial piety, and it stands to reason that he should keep filial piety for three years, but it is impossible for Yan Xi to stay in Peach Blossom Village for three years, and he can only handle family affairs during the period of filial piety.
Mrs. Xiao nodded and said with a smile: "Ah Chen, his father and mother were worried about Xiao Jiu'er's family affairs before they went, and since it has been decided, I will do it as soon as possible, and let them rest assured, so as not to feel at ease when they leave." ”
"Auntie, if only you could think of it. The village chief's daughter-in-law secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Since you agreed, then I will go and give Yan Xi a reply, and let him prepare the dowry and marriage." ”
