Chapter 79: The Magpie Calls the Door

Su Qiqi didn't let Liu Sanniang relax, but scared her. So she hugged Liu Sanniang's bent neck and bit it in her ear: "Mother, I don't talk nonsense." I'm telling you, it's true. In March, I went to the tea grove with Qiangzi to pick tea for brewing... Qiangzi also said that he saw that there were often people going to the nest. At that time, I didn't see people's faces, and I wasn't very familiar with my aunt's voice, so I didn't expect to go. The day before yesterday, you all went into the mountains to pick oil tea, and I was going to go with Qiangzi to pick chestnuts, but I found... Sneaked along..."

Liu Sanniang didn't wait for her to finish speaking, she covered Su Qiqi's mouth and explained: "Qiqi, my mother knows about this, but my mother won't say it." Since this is the case, then the mother doesn't have to worry about raising children for others. If you have money to raise a child for someone else, you might as well buy a piece of meat for my Qiqi to eat. But you also have to remember that you can't reveal half a word about this to others, understand? ”

How can you not understand? It's really going to be rumored, with Aunt Su's virtue, can this day be peaceful? How good it is now, if Su Chunmei gives birth to a boy, the Qian family will admit her into the door. If she gave birth to a girl, Aunt Su would never let her live in this world, and it was none of her business. It's not that she, Su Qiqi, is hard-hearted, but that she doesn't have the ability to cause this kind of trouble.

She nodded vigorously and promised: "Mother, don't worry, I won't tell anyone." After telling you, Qiqi promises not to tell anyone again, don't worry. ”

And for such a sensible daughter, Liu Sanniang is happy! One! Root! Read! The novel xstxt hugged her tightly with comfort: "My Qiqi is really a sensible child, and I am content with your mother in this life!" ”

Su Qiqi also put his arm around Liu Sanniang's neck and said, "Qiqi has a father like you and your father, and Qiqi is also content." ”

Don't get involved in the troubles in the Su family's old house, Su Qiqi feels that life is also very happy, and spring is approaching again, but she feels that the weather is surprisingly strange this year. In the past, it didn't snow until the wax moon, but this year, it began to fall at the end of October.

For the sake of this senior brother's favor to her, and the future sister-in-law seems to be very unreliable. Su Qiqi felt sorry for Ji Wenchen, and wanted to make him a pair of shoes for the New Year, but he had to go up the mountain so early this year, and Su Qiqi's shoes only had a pair of uppers, and he rolled his eyes when he looked at them.

Liu Sanniang came in to see her appearance and asked with a smile: "What's wrong with Qiqi?" Are you unhappy that your brother's shoes are not ready? ”

Su Qiqi shook his head: "Mother, I just did it well, and I can't tell my senior brother that I did it." I just think that my senior brother is very pitiful, except for you to help him make clothes, shoes and socks, that girl from the Chen family has never even made a pair of socks for my senior brother. You said that my brother went to her house every year to send New Year's greetings, and I don't know how many pairs of silver he spent on shoes. ”

Liu Sanniang smiled bitterly: "When the Chen family and the Ji family were engaged at that time, the Ji family's parents were there. also promised that when your senior brother becomes an adult, if he is admitted to Xiucai, the Ji family will come to the town to buy a house and land. But later, your brother and parents had an accident, and they didn't die at that time, but took a basket of medicine for more than half a year before leaving. The idea at home has long been wiped out. Moreover, your senior brother doesn't even have the money to go to school, and he has already come out to learn the craft, do you think the Chen family can still be happy? It's okay if you don't come to quit your family. ”

Su Qiqi felt that Ji Wenchen would definitely be a promising person, and she said angrily: "It's good to quit your family, even if such a relationship is over, my senior brother may not be happy in the future." ”

Liu Sanniang sighed and touched her head: "Qiqi, you are not small." If your senior brother really retires, and he doesn't have the ability to come to the mountain to buy family property in the future, then he will have to be a bachelor for the rest of his life. Don't you know, although they can't starve to death in the mountains in the village, they can't go home in two days after the next mountain. How many girls are willing to marry into such a place? So there are more than 20 families there, and I am afraid that there are more than 30 singles, large and small. This is also the reason why your aunt hated your grandmother for marrying her to your uncle for the sake of silver. Now it's been more than ten years, and she hasn't come back. ”

Su Qiqi suddenly realized, no wonder she said that Ji Wenchen was her senior brother and her eldest uncle's nephew, so why didn't she see them go back to her parents' house. Moreover, I haven't been here for the New Year, it seems that Aunt Su really only has silver and no children in her eyes. She thought about it, but she was fortunate not to be reincarnated in Aunt Su's belly, otherwise she would have to find the old monk to go desperately.

Su Qiqi took out a pair of cotton insoles and gave them to Liu Sanniang: "Mother, you asked my senior brother to put this into the shoes, I saw that the cotton shoes you made for him were a bit big." Tuck this in for a warmer fit. ”

Liu Sanniang's grounding insoles were stuffed into the cotton shoes she made for Ji Wenchen, and the two said as they walked: "Qiqi, you will send your senior brother to the entrance of the village in a while, and my mother will go to your third aunt's house to help." ”

Today, I heard that the third cousin had a matchmaker come to talk about family affairs, and Su Jiang and Liu Sanniang were the best, so I asked her to go over to accompany her. Su Qiqi agreed: "Mother, give me the shoes, and I'll put the burden on him when the senior brother leaves." ”

Seeing off Ji Wenchen, Su Qiqi went directly to Yinzi's house.

As soon as I arrived at the gate, I heard a middle-aged woman's voice hula and say: "My Zhang Sanniang is a matchmaker with not a thousand but eight hundred, and they are all top successes." Why is that? That's because I'm a real person. This matchmaker has to have a conscience, and if it's not a good girl, I don't dare to give it to others. No matter how ugly the daughter-in-law is, she will have to see her in-laws, right? Today, I didn't invite to Su's house to be a matchmaker, that's because your magpie called the door! ”

I could hear my mother's voice: "Hahaha, third sister-in-law, you said it so well, this is really a magpie calling the door, isn't it?" Third sister-in-law, when you say that, I think you are really real. It's just that I take the liberty of asking, since the conditions of the Li family are so good, how can they take a fancy to my family's birthday nephew? It's not that my nephew is bad, but I'm also a real person, and I still know a little bit about this door. ”

"Oh, brother and sister, you don't understand this. This girl from the Li family was sick a while ago, and she hasn't been optimistic. Until last month, a master pointed out that she was too soft, and she was matched with a masculine man, and the disease didn't need to be cured. Don't say it, according to the master's words, the Li family temporarily sent the girl's eight characters in the nunnery, and got up when they saw the heavenly people. The Li family knew that I, Zhang Sanniang, were down-to-earth, so they specially asked me to visit such a young man. No, I really visited. ”

Zhang Sanniang slapped her thigh, and the foam in her mouth splashed high, making Su Qiqi feel disgusted: Auntie, you don't have an infectious disease, right?

"Oh, I see? It's a strange marriage, but it's a good thing. I'm afraid that if the girl's family marries into our Su family, she will think that the family is too poor to live a good life. If so, what can be done? We understand the hearts of parents, but what do children think, have you inquired? Liu Sanniang heard this reason and felt that this might be a good marriage.

"Hey, I said brother and sister, is there any family that doesn't follow the words of the parents to match the family? Besides, is it the importance of wealth or human life? You can tell your brother and sister about this, don't worry about it, this kind of thing will never happen, I Zhang Sanniang can pack the ticket! ”

Liu Sanniang also liked to say: "Since the third aunt said so, then I am embarrassed to ask again." The girl has a good appearance, good family conditions, and is the same age as my nephew, so such a good thing really fell from the sky. If this family affair can be done, I have to ask my brother and sister to thank you well. ”

Zhang Sanniang was overjoyed: "Cheng, then we have decided, you find a day to come to my house, and I will go with you to propose marriage." ”

Liu Sanniang nodded again and again: "Okay, after I talk carefully to my younger brothers and sisters in a while, I will come to find the third sister-in-law." This meal is also on the table, although there are no good dishes, the third aunt will have a meal at our time. ”

Zhang Sanniang said again and again: "You're polite! ”

Su Qiqi didn't wait until the spitting mouthpiece of Zhang Matchmaker left, and saw that Liu Sanniang and Jiangsu were talking about the three cousins, so she couldn't help but walk in: "Mother, third aunt, can Qiqi say a word?" ”

The two of them were stunned, and Su Jiang hurriedly said, "Qiqi, what do you want to say?" Say it, if you have something to say at the third aunt's house, just say it. ”

Su Qiqi sat down next to the two of them and put his hand into Liu Sanniang's arms before saying seriously: "Third aunt, if Qiqi is not right, don't be angry." ”

Su Jiang was even more stunned: "Qiqi, you say it, the third aunt is not angry." ”

Su Qiqi asked: "Third aunt, who else knows the time and eight characters of the third cousin except for our family?" ”

Su Jiang's eyes widened: "Yes, where did this Zhang Sanniang find out about the time of the next birthday?" ”

"Also, the conditions of the Li family are so good, the girls are fifteen years old, if this is really the case, I'm afraid that they would have been engaged a long time ago, right? Why did you get sick some time ago before you thought about getting engaged? ”

As soon as Su Qiqi's words fell, Su Jiang's eyes looked at her completely differently: "Yes, Qiqi is right." The girls in our village from poor families are engaged to the fourteenth and fifteenth year, and the family has a good life, and they are all contracted out before the age of thirteen, and it is impossible to wait until the age of fifteen. Second sister-in-law, the girl Zhang Matchmaker said just now is the Li family in the east of the town, isn't it? What's the name Lee? ”

Liu Sanniang immediately replied: "Her name is Li Guizhi, and she is the second girl of the Li family." ”

"Well, I've got an idea, be careful of what kind of ship is coming? Tomorrow, I will ask someone to go to the town to inquire about this girl from the Li family, if it is really the situation that Mrs. Zhang said, I will have to thank her in the future. If she lied to us, I'm not done with her! ”

Liu Sanniang, who knew the character of her younger brother and sister, hurriedly grabbed her: "Don't, brother and sister, there is no need to entangle if the family affair can't be done, this matchmaker is a person with two pieces of skin on her mouth, and her words can't be fully believed." Find two more people to inquire, if it's really a good thing, then choose a date early to book this matter, Shengqing is also sixteen years old, and it is just right to get married next year. ”

Su Jiang's eyes flashed, and he didn't speak again.
