Chapter 11 The matchmaker comes to the door

On the way home, I heard from my uncle that Uncle Niu is actually surnamed Xu, Xu is the surname of their Xujia Village, and there was no foreign surname before, and in the first two years, he came down from the mountain one after another, and it was mixed with several other foreign surnames, such as Qin Chunliu's family. Niu Bo's son was originally a fast catcher, but later fell down the mountain and died while suppressing bandits. The county government compensated him for a calf that had just been born for a few days, Niu Bo was also sad, he thought of his son when he saw the calf, the calf struggled to survive, Niu Bo couldn't bear it, endured the pain, and insisted on raising the cow as a son, calling the calf "Niu Son" Everyone slowly called him Niu Bo. Uncle Niu and Aunt Niu are now dependent on each other, relying on pulling people into the city, plowing the land for others, and earning a few dollars. They put the cow in Niu Bo's house, and they also sent Niu Bo several catties of millet.

When they got home, the family really hadn't slept yet, they were all waiting for their news, the uncle was the most unstoppable, and he said it out loud before he asked, everyone was surprised, this was different from the last time, how to say it last time was just to make everyone feel better to eat, and better to live in the future. It's not as real as this time, because everyone has money, which is the wealth they have created, and it also represents their own bright future.

Peach blossoms hurriedly finished eating and began to divide the money, the profit was thirty-five taels, and they wanted to share seventeen taels and five hundred wen, "Don't care how much this time, grandma, auntie, second aunt, fourth aunt, mother, second sister, peach leaf one tael each, sister-in-law, sister Mei Ying, sister Mei Xiang, eldest sister, Lianhong one person and two taels, how about I want five hundred wen." "There is money to take, of course, everyone is happy to look at the money in their hands, this is the money earned in a day and a half, I didn't dare to think before I put it, how many handkerchiefs are embroidered here.

"Peach blossom, let your sister Meiduo do the same, I'll go back and talk about her, don't worry about her." The second aunt's eyes were very red when she saw the two taels of silver, "After all, they are all their own sisters, flowers, let Mei Duo come too." "Li is a good old man, and he forgot about being bullied so quickly.

"I didn't stop her, you also saw that she didn't do it herself, and complained about me, and she was willing to tell me tomorrow."

"Okay, let's go to sleep, I'm going to be busy tomorrow, by the way, I forgot to say, our family has rented a shop, and the day after tomorrow will start to decorate." The puppets have said that they will come to the door once in a few days, and the rag heads will be sent to the door one after another starting tomorrow. ”

"We already knew, your uncle has already said it."

Everyone has money, and naturally they are busy until late. Peach Blossom was too tired to go to bed early.

When I woke up early the next day, I was busy. It's really not good to be a family member.

Early in the morning, I want to invite them to come to drink in Xujia Village, and the head of the Xu family is invited to get up early in the morning to fry meat, stew rice, and make wine. Let Li Zheng and the patriarch help measure and write the guarantee deed.

"Brother Hexing, your family has made a fortune, and the ox cart has also been bought, and all of a sudden you will have to build four regimental courtyards and buy land, which is amazing, now you are the head of the village." Li Zheng said while stuffing meat into his mouth, Li Zheng is about the same age as his grandfather, he is a short old man with a red face, and it seems that he usually has good oil and water.

"I'll just say that the eldest nephew is blessed, look at this big family, rice and rice, this is a fortune." The patriarch is a lean old man, more than ten years older than his grandfather, originally he thought that they would eat rice and meat, but they didn't know until the meal was opened, everyone was the same rice and white rice, a big pot of meat, and the food of the Peach Blossom family in the past two days was really good. In her words, there is meat after her.

"This is the blessing of the children and grandchildren, and this time the deer will pay a good price. Isn't this our family going to get married, it's really impossible to live together, and there has been no matchmaker to come to the door for so long, so there is really no way. ”

"In our village, everyone who wants to get married can get a piece of land cheaply, you can rest assured, just look at where you can say,"

"Let's be next to the road, the four best ones are connected, I just look at the east of Qin Liansheng's house, and we will cushion some uneven places by ourselves."

"The land is good, not in the middle of the mountain, not afraid of flash floods, landslides, whose land is optimistic."

"Let's start with the wasteland, and we want to dig a pond, raise some fish, and get some lotus roots. It's at Erhe Bend, where it's close to home, and it's nice to see the pond. ”

"Brother Synthesis has a good vision, I won't tell you, I also have a crush on that piece of land, but I don't have the money to get it down,"

Li Zheng and the patriarch were very satisfied with the meal, and when they left, they also stuffed a tael of silver, so after eating, the men went to help measure the land, and the women also started to make puppets in the peach blossom house, and Mei Duo also came, but said very reluctantly, "I'm here." She lowered her head and didn't look at the peach blossoms, and moved a small bench by herself and asked Mei Xiang to teach her. Mei Xiang's eyes were also red, and she lowered her head and didn't speak.

Peach Blossom also began to design the decoration of the store in the courtyard, and compared on the ground, the second sister came to her after feeding the chickens.

"I'm going to do it all day, I'm doing a lot more than them, so why don't I have less money."

"Second sister, sit down and listen to what I tell you." Peach Blossom knew that she had been too busy in the past two days to ignore the Li family and a few of them.

"Second sister, don't worry, I think the store will open in two days, transfer you to the store to learn to make dim sum, you see they do well, not necessarily one day will not be alive, and you can't do it with our family anymore when you get married, you are not small, it is estimated that you will not stay for two years, I want you to learn to make dim sum with me, you yourself are in the store to learn store management, even if you go to your mother-in-law's house, you can open your own shop to make money, no need to look at your mother-in-law's face, a lifetime of craftsmanship."

"You just want to find your mother-in-law's family, and I will guard our mother."

"What does the second sister think of the arrangement I have arranged for you, you choose for yourself, even in the store, you have a share of the store."

"Okay, I don't have as much eyes as you, and I can't talk about you, if I don't have any money to earn, I will eat you and drink yours in the future."

"Okay, you'll follow me when I go to my mother-in-law's house?"

"You are a shameless little girl, your mouth is actually from your mother-in-law's family, and you are not afraid of being laughed at."

Peach Blossom went up and hugged the second sister's neck, "The second sister is so good, she won't laugh at me, right." "I really can't help you, go, go, go and I'll do the work."

Peach Blossom has already planned for a long time, in the future, the eldest sister, the second sister and the younger sister, and the younger brother will each find a way for them to earn money, even if they all start their own families in the future, they can still live well on their own.

It's not easy to be at home for a day, one will send the cloth head to come, the other will send the iron sheet to come, the family is really full of people. Fortunately, a lot of land was harvested in one day, and my grandfather and they all did it.

In the evening, everyone discussed what house to build, and unanimously agreed to build green bricks and tiles, and once calculated, it would cost thirty taels of one, and the peach blossoms let everyone paste ten taels by themselves, but the money could be paid back slowly with the public first. According to the current sales share of the puppets, everyone naturally agrees. A good house means that you can find a good daughter-in-law.

"Our family still doesn't have enough manpower, Uncle and Brother Youwen have to take care of the decoration of the store. Also according to our division, you all find your own manpower, busy in the spring, find a few more villages, the pond has to be dug out quickly, the fish at the end of the year, the saplings are quickly found, the fruit can be hung early for a year, the chicken coop and pig house are also easy to build, tomorrow I will look at the location, divide the area to start work, hire people to take care of porridge, manage water, regardless of dry food a day 20 Wen, the same is true for building a house, aunts and aunts, make a few more toys and money will come out, it is too troublesome to manage the rice. ”

Everyone has no objection to Peach Blossom's arrangement now, and her words are basically a foregone conclusion now.

The next day, before dawn, the guy of the embroidered spring building drove the carriage to call the door, saying that he was out of the city last night, just to catch up early today, it seems that there are a lot of people looking for puppets in the past two days, loading a little bit, and now giving silver, saying that it is specially explained by the shopkeeper, so early in the morning there are fifty-two taels into the account, everyone is smiling, and even breakfast began to divide the silver. The aunts and aunts each have one or two or three hundred wen, plus Mei Duo's sisters are two and a half each.

In the past two days, the village has already spread that the peach blossom family has made a fortune, buying cattle, buying land, and four yards at once. I also have cars coming and going at home every day, and I heard that I have to hire people to dig ponds in the village, and my aunt's topic every day is their house, which is in the limelight for a while.

As soon as I finished eating, a matchmaker came to the door, wearing a red dress, and her face was painted straight powder. As soon as I entered the door, I said hello to the people, and looked hard next to the house, this is a famous matchmaker in the village, and Wang and Xu Wang were also married in the village.

"Big sister, great joy, look at how blessed you are, full of children and grandchildren, and now you are rich again, old sister, I will also follow you with joy,"

"It's the old sister sit down, sit down. You're a rarity. ”

"Big sister, are you blaming the old sister, it's not that I don't care about the eldest nephew, but every time I mention it, people refuse, they didn't have long eyes before, you don't know how many people are asking me to come now, your family has covered me. This time, I promise that we will pick up the good ones. ”

"Look at what the old sister said, you have to worry a lot about this, drink tea quickly."

"Or the sister is exquisite, I haven't said it yet, this tea is eating my sister's first, there are three good girls today, one is the youngest daughter of Ding Xiucai in Dongding Zhuang, eighteen years old, this is good, the person looks good, white and beautiful, and knows a few words, the family conditions are also good, but the family is too picky, this is how big it is, and you don't have to worry about marrying depending on the girl's conditions."

"Didn't the girls in her family say that they were too rude, and they wouldn't be popular in the field, didn't they say that they didn't marry in the city in the first two years, and the conditions in our family really can't afford to support this."

"Isn't there anything else, our old man Dawangzhuang lifted his head, striking iron, that girl is capable, not very fifteen, water and spirit, the number one in the field,"

"Isn't the girl motherless, her father still gambles money, and she wants a bride price, doesn't she have to raise a father for a girl, no, no, where is it easy to get married to her family."
