Chapter 44: Listen to the Root of the Wall
The small courtyard surrounded by an earthen wall, with a radius of only about thirty or fifty steps, there is a grape in the courtyard, grapes the size of a purple fingernail, hanging all over the branches, hanging down from the gaps in the leaves, making people salivate, a snail, in the tireless cry, struggled to climb towards a bunch of grapes, exuding bursts of sweet fragrance.

Under the tree, three children of three or five years old with belly pockets around them, their eyes shining, circled around the vine.
The oldest, about five years old, looked at Jiang Fanghua, who was cleaning up the leftovers on the table, rolled his eyes, calculated his heart, leaned into the ear of the youngest child, and whispered for a while.
The little child, drooling, with dusty fingers and stars in his eyes, nodded incessantly.
"Auntie, I want to eat grapes." A milky child's voice sounded.
At the same time, the child's saliva-filled little hand grabbed Jiang Fanghua's trousers.
Jiang Fanghua shook her eyelids in disgust, and scolded the older child, "This dead child, he is greedy, and he always instigates Xiaobao to ask for things." ”
The child was frightened by Jiang Fanghua's sudden loud voice, and he was about to cry when he opened his mouth, Jiang Fanghua was afraid of being alarmed, and her second sister-in-law's artillery was busy leaning over and touching his bare head.
"Xiaobao doesn't cry, my aunt said that your brother, Xiaobao is the most well-behaved, my aunt will pick it for you."
Jiang Fanghua picked three small bunches of grapes and picked them, one bunch per person.
The three little babies ran away with grapes, Jiang Fanghua spat out a turbid breath and continued to clean up the mess on the table.
At this time, Fan Yan, the sister-in-law who had been separated, was wearing a green cloth gown, with a silver hairpin with auspicious ruyi pattern on her smooth bun, shaking a pu fan, with a smile on her face, and stepped in with a wind under her feet.
Jiang Fanghua pouted secretly, it was not good to do something at a young age, she was born to be the third aunt and six mothers-in-law, and she was a matchmaker, and even with her, she felt looked down upon.
"Sister-in-law."
I am not satisfied, I can't look down on it, and the work on the face is still indispensable.
This is why Jiang Fanghua will come to the matter, and if she is a girl with other rectums, since she can't look down on the other party, she won't give people a good look.
"Fanghua!" Fan Yan greeted with a smile.
It seems that there is something to say.
"I'll go to the river and wash the dishes." Jiang Fanghua pointed to the stacked dirty dishes and chopsticks.
She didn't want to be here, listening to her talk boring nonsense.
What good things she can tell is nothing more than being a matchmaker for the boy of the east family, how much she gets a matchmaker, how much money the west family marries her daughter, how rich the dowry is, how rich the banquet is, and how many dishes.
"Go, go!" Fan Yan waved the fan in her hand indifferently, "Our mother is in the house, right?" ”
"Here it is!" Jiang Fanghua pointed to the east house with bright light.
"Okay, I know, you can go with your business!"
Fan Yanhun waved the pu fan absentmindedly, and walked towards the east house without stopping.
"I don't know what to chew on the root of my tongue."
Jiang Fanghua muttered in a low voice, looked at the east room, the two figures reflected in the window, hesitated, put down the half-packed dishes and chopsticks, and tiptoed close to the window.
"Really?"
The voice was full of surprise, it was her/mother/'s voice.
"But it's not," Fan Yan's voice was a little exaggerated, "I can't lie to anyone, can I?" ”
That's weird!
Jiang Fanghua silently added in her heart.
"Then tell me what kind of family the other party is."
Her voice was a little eager, and the shadow on the window leaned forward.
"The family is much richer than ours, the old lady set up a small stall in the town to sell bean curd, and she can earn hundreds of dollars a day, my father works in the tea factory, three brothers and sisters, he is the youngest, the eldest brother got married and went out alone, a sister also married a year ago, and the money earned by the old couple is his."
Jiang Fanghua was taken aback, this is a posture to say kiss to her! At the moment, he didn't care about being shy, looked left and right, and quickly leaned up again, close to the window lattice, pricked up his ears, and listened carefully to the corner of the wall.
If you find someone unreliable for her, you can plan one or two in advance.
"That's a good dare!" Jiang's mother rubbed her hands on her rough clothes.
"It's just ......," Fan Yan said with a sad face.
"That kid won't be missing arms or legs, right?"
Seeing that Fan Yan was embarrassed, Mother Jiang hurriedly asked.
"Mother, where do you want to go, missing arms and legs, can I introduce them to our sister? No one can pit their own people, right? Besides, our sister is doing well, and we can also get some light. ”
Fan Yan was still, not in a hurry, shaking her little pu fan.
"Look at me, I'm confused, tell me what's going on?"
Seeing that Jiang Fanghua is twenty years old, and if she can't get married after twenty, she won't be easy to marry, and people will think, is there something wrong with this girl? Why haven't you married at such an old age?
In other words, in the countryside, after twenty, there is no qualification to pick and choose, so Jiang's mother is really anxious.
"You also know that our sister has a high spirit, Tang Fang, this kid, is long, not bad, but his appearance is mediocre, and his skin is slightly darker than ordinary people," Fan Yan hesitated, "I'm afraid that I won't be able to get into my sister's eyes." ”
"What's that?" Mother Jiang patted her heart, "What big deal do I do, I look good and can't be eaten, and black spots are not ugly, our Zhuang family, every day the wind and rain, which can grow white, I think this family business is very good." ”
Jiang's mother is quite satisfied, in her concept, "marry a man, marry a man, dress and eat!" "As long as the other party has a good family background, has a small craft, and can support the family, he is the best candidate, as for the appearance, that thing can neither be used as money, nor can it be eaten as food, as long as it is not ugly and makes people unable to eat, it is not a thing.
"Why don't I get to the bottom of our sister first?" Fan Yan was a little unsure.
In fact, Fan Yan is a good person, enthusiastic and generous, and really wants to find a good in-law for Jiang Fanghua.
"Marriage events, parents' orders, matchmakers' words, which turn is her to make irresponsible remarks, I say it will be successful."
Mother Jiang is also in a hurry.
Jiang Fanghua listened outside the window.
said that she didn't have that kindness, and sure enough, she found a broken house.
Rich family?
A seller of bean curd is still called a rich family? Has she ever met a rich man?
Is it possible to let her not do a good job, standing on the street in the wind and sun to sell bean curd?
What a joke!
There is also that Tang Fang, she knows, like a long black charcoal head, carrying a tofu burden through the streets and alleys.
Zhu Zhenzhen married a skilled carpenter, Liang Chaxiang's status is there, and the men who are jealous of her in the factory are definitely indispensable, and they will definitely not marry too low in the future.
I am no worse than them in any place, why should I marry an ugly-looking and lowly tofu lang?
She is unwilling, why!
Jiang Fanghua made up her mind to ruin this family business.
