The backyard of the blacksmith shop is not too big, and under the wall, there is a hill of firewood, covered with linoleum cloth, neatly stacked together.

On the other side of the yard, there is only a small vegetable patch, planted with some late beans.

Wen handed his cousin Li He a package, mother and son had not seen each other for a while, and there was a lot to say.

"In the future, when you take over the shop, you will live in the town, but my mother is showing you people in the village."

The primary apprentices of the blacksmith are all boys, and if Li He marries a daughter-in-law in the future and lives under the same roof, it is not very convenient for men and women to be guarded.

The girls in the village are more reliable, they don't have so many flowers, and they can help with some housework at home.

"Mother, I don't really want to get married yet."

Speaking of family affairs, Li He lowered his head, scratched his head uncomfortably, and said this in front of his cousin, which was very embarrassing.

Although he doesn't have much ability, he is also a person who loves beauty, and the girls in the village are five big and three coarse, which is really unsightly.

Li He wanted to work hard for a few years, and when he saved up the money, he would buy a yard in the town and marry a girl from the town.

Most of the girls in the village are ignorant and vulgar, and they open their mouths and close their mouths to say dirty words, which he can't accept.

If they are all like his cousin Mo Xiaohe, knowledgeable and bright-looking, then why is he unwilling?

Li He's careful thinking didn't dare to say it to his mother-in-law Wen, otherwise, the scolded dog must be bloody.

"Don't want to get married? You little bunny, how old are you? ”

Without a word, Wen immediately turned from a tearful mother to a fierce woman, with one hand on her waist and the other hand on Li He's ear, and said in a loud voice, "You try it again?" ”

Looking at the crown, there are several babies of this age in the village!

Li He is still beating a bachelor, every time Wen goes out, he is asked about it, I don't know, I think her son can't be humane! This matter has to be resolved this year, the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, agree to it, and agree if you don't agree, you can't help him.

Mo Xiaohe watched from the side, rubbing the corners of his forehead, it turned out that his cousin was an ancient version of an older youth, and he also encountered the posture of forced marriage.

It's been the same throughout the ages.

"Our family's conditions are not good, but it's not that you can't afford to marry a daughter-in-law, as long as you don't look at the masters."

Wen continued to nagging and preaching, and when his son came to town a few years ago, he may have been confused by the little jasper, so he moved his mind.

Thinking of this, Wen raised his eyes vigilantly and asked, "You say, is there someone in your heart?" ”

Li He doesn't go home all the year round and is out of control, for fear that he will do something that damages the reputation of other women.

For example, Xiaohe, a good girl, is afraid that she will be forced to marry an ugly hunter in the end.

"Mother, it's nothing."

Li He was scared of a spirit, he was a poor boy, who could look down on him?

I don't want to get married, because I don't want my daughter-in-law to follow him to live a hard life.

He has endured for so many years, learned the ability to strike iron, and wants to make more money by himself one day, so that his father and mother will not work so hard, and his sister can marry a good family.

If your own confidence is hard, you won't be bullied.

After talking about a topic for a long time, Li He was embarrassed and almost found a crack in the ground to get into.

Seeing this, Mo Xiaohe felt that she was an outsider, and she couldn't intervene at all.

At noon, there were few people, and she wanted to go out and look for a way to make money.

Along the way, she memorized each landmark building by heart, afraid that she would get lost.

"Auntie, I went out to give my grandfather two catties of liquor, which tastes better than the small grocery store in our village."

Mo Xiaohe held the small cake in the bag and made a good excuse for himself.

Li Xiu didn't worry about her alone, and wanted to follow along, and besides, because of her cousin's embroidery, she earned copper plates, so she had to repay one or two.

It's not appropriate to go on the street alone, Mo Xiaohe is new to the city, and he is afraid that he will not think about it.

Seeing that the two were together, Wen thought for a moment, nodded, and said in front of the unmarried girl's family that family affairs were not good and should be avoided.

She was too anxious just now.

After a few words of advice, Mo Xiaohe and his cousin walked out of the door.

The first thing he did when he went out was not to find a grocery store to drink, Mo Xiaohe went straight to the largest calligraphy and painting shop he saw just now.

"Xiaohe, do you want to buy pen and paper?"

Li Xiu was a little timid, he didn't have many copper plates in his hand, and he didn't even have the courage to walk into the shop.

In the past, she didn't admit that she was very childish, but now compared with her cousin, Mo Xiaohe is calm and calm.

"Cousin, if you don't want to go in, just wait here."

Mo Xiaohe wanted to go in and visit, but he couldn't do too much in front of Li Xiu.

"You can take this."

Li Xiu smacked his tongue, this shop is probably the biggest in the town, right?

The plaque alone is a gilded letter, and I heard that the ordinary wolf pen inside costs ten taels of silver.

Even if the family smashes the pot and sells iron, they can't afford it.

She struggled, and in the end she was cowardly and handed over the money bag to Mo Xiaohe.

My cousin's kindness, if she didn't take it, my cousin would feel guilty.

Mo Xiaohe thought about it for a while, took the money bag, and asked Li Xiu to wait for her in the shade of the tree at the door.

When you open the door, it's cool inside.

In autumn, the weather is not as hot as in summer, but the store is still using ice basins, which shows that the store has strong financial resources.

The entrance is a screen of landscapes, flowers and birds, and white silk is selected, and painting on the silk.

From Mo Xiaohe's professional point of view, it can only be said that it is acceptable, the color matching is slightly poor, and the sense of art is lacking.

Bypassing the screen, the lobby is very spacious and divided into two areas: calligraphy and painting.

Most of the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls are masterpieces of famous artists, and thanks to the ink of the predecessor, she can still understand some of them.

On the counter, there was a yawning old man lying on his stomach, and when he saw Mo Xiaohe coming in, he opened one eye and closed one eye, as if he couldn't see it, and continued to sleep.

Mo Xiaohe was speechless, did you look at the store like this?

If she takes something valuable, won't the store lose a lot?

"The screen at the door, if the bird's feathers are colored with three colors, it will be better and not look so rough."

The screen can only be viewed from a distance, and at Lin Qingqian's level, the entry-level paintings of junior high school are stronger than those in front of them.

The old man narrowed his eyes and looked at Lin Qingqian.

As soon as the little lady entered the door, he saw that although she was dressed ordinarily, she was by no means a woman from a small family.

I didn't bring a maid with me, I was joking, and I came to find fault sincerely?
