Chapter 43: The Marriage Contract
When Mrs. Feng saw her sister-in-law asking, she explained the ins and outs of the matter in detail.
The more Chen listened, the more depressed she became, she heard that the Feng family had a future, and thought it was true, but she didn't expect it to be a blessing from others, and this business couldn't be done. I felt a little remorseful at the moment, thinking that I shouldn't have agreed to this marriage so readily just now, but the words have been said, and now I am afraid that it will not be so easy to take it back. I had to go back and explain to my wife and then think of other ways.
After a while, Xiangmei and Su Fang came back from buying wine and meat.
Mrs. Feng was very happy, so she washed her hands and went to cook.
Xiangmei burns the fire, and Mrs. Feng stir-fries. Su Fang was talking to her mother in the inner room.
"Is the town fun?"
Su Fang nodded.
Chan asked, "Where did you go?" ”
Su Fang said, "Just go for a walk." ”
Even in the face of her mother, Su Fang doesn't talk much, and she is shy and shy by nature. makes her extraordinarily quiet and gentle, which is also her benefit.
Looking at such a daughter, Chen sighed in his heart, thinking that if she really told Su Fang to other people's families, she didn't know how many grievances she would have to suffer in the future, if she met a husband with a strong and domineering personality, and then met a mean and difficult mother-in-law, she would not be able to live.
Now that she thinks about it, she feels that this kid doesn't seem to be so bad. Between cousins and sisters, they have been harmonious since childhood, and there will be no disputes in the future. The remorse of the general was only two points lighter. I don't want to be afraid, as long as I am safe and willing to be motivated, I will have a good life.
Chen whispered her and her sister-in-law's decision to Su Fang, and Su Fang was so ashamed that she was red and sat there in a daze. He hung his head, put his hands on his knees, and clutched a blue cloth cloth tightly.
Su Fang didn't say good, she didn't say bad, she still looked supple. Chen sighed in her heart, although the parents are in charge of children's affairs, but she told Sufang about this, naturally she also wanted to hear whether she was willing, but she didn't expect it to be like a piece of wood.
In the stove room here, Mrs. Feng also told Xiangmei about it.
Xiangmei liked it when she heard it: "How can you say that the third sister will be my sister-in-law in a short time." It's okay, the third sister is gentle and gentle, and in the future, my brother will be the master of the house, and my sister-in-law will definitely listen to him for everything. ”
"I just think Su Fang has a good temper, and your brother won't suffer any grievances."
Xiangmei is happy from the bottom of her heart, her brother's major events have been said for all these years, and now the dust has finally settled.
"When will my brother come back today?"
"I don't know where I know, I want you to go to him, but I don't know where he is. Your aunt still has to go back, and I can't afford to delay, so I thought it would be better to let your sister Su Fang play in our house for two more days. They are also familiar with each other, shorten the distance, and choose a good day, and I will ask a matchmaker to come to the door to propose marriage. ”
Xiangmei said yes.
When it was time to eat, Ping An still hadn't returned. Mrs. Feng arranged a table of meals, and the Chen family saw that there were meat and vegetarian dishes, which were quite rich. I ate it generously. Su Fang was a little more shy than when she came. If no one asked her, she wouldn't have spoken.
After the meal, Chen was going back, after all, there were still several miles of mountain roads to go.
Mrs. Feng came out with a ruler, opened the cellar again, and took the rabbit. Chen was not polite and accepted them all. Zhi Sufang looked a little embarrassed from the sidelines.
"Xiangmei doesn't have a companion either, so it's better to let Su Fang play at our house for two more days before leaving." Feng Lao Niang said enthusiastically.
Chen glanced at his daughter, Su Fang didn't mean to refuse, Chen knew her daughter's temperament best. It seems that she does not refute this family business. Thinking that Su Fang would save a few meals at home here, it would be very good, so he smiled and said, "Okay, Su Fang, don't trouble your aunt." ”
Su Fang said lightly: "Got it." ”
Chen put all the things sent by his sister-in-law into the basket and went back with the basket on his back.
Mrs. Feng was very polite to Su Fang, and asked Xiangmei to take Su Fang around to have a look.
Xiangmei said: "Sister Song has been here, it seems that something is wrong, I will ask her." ”
Mrs. Feng smiled: "Go ahead." ”
Xiangmei enthusiastically took Su Fang's hand and went out, Yunzhu lived next door, just a few steps away. Xiangmei patiently said to Su Fang: "Sister Song is very good, don't be too restrained." ”
Su Fang nodded.
Xiangmei waited for Su Fang to come to the door, but Yunzhu also welcomed it, and brought out pastries to invite them to eat.
Everyone sat in the inner room, but it was quite warm.
Su Fang looked at the room, and then at the woman in front of her, a little girl shouted "mother" in front of and behind her. Su Fang felt that this home was a little strange. But I can't tell what's strange.
"Sister Song came to our house, is there something wrong?"
Yunzhu smiled and said, "I'm going to build a house." I just don't know how much it costs. I want to ask your brother to help you do the math. ”
Xiangmei said: "Sister Song doesn't know, my brother followed Brother Qingshan and them up the mountain to hunt early in the morning, and I don't know when I will come back." You're going to build a house. How big is the cover? ”
Yunzhu said with a smile: "I originally planned to raise pigs with your family, but you also saw that this house is narrow and there is no place to raise it." I wondered if I should build a house. ”
Xiangmei said: "I don't know much about this, but my brother helped someone build a house, and you can ask him when you go back." ”
Yunzhu said okay. She and Xiangmei kept talking, and Su Fang'an sat quietly next to her. Yun Zhu thought that it was the first time that someone in the family was a guest, so she couldn't neglect her, so she asked Su Fang with a smile: "How many brothers and sisters do you have in your family?" Do you have land at home? What do you usually do at home? ”
Su Fang asked and answered, and there was no superfluous word. The words were gentle and gentle, and after asking these questions, Yunzhu couldn't find a topic.
Later, when Xiangmei heard her mother calling her, she got up and said to Yunzhu, "Sister Song, I'll talk to my brother when I go back." Let him do the math for you, and then I'll give you a reply. ”
Yunzhu nodded, "It's bothered." ”
Su Fang and Xiangmei left together, and then Su Fang quietly asked Xiangmei: "The sister Song you said wants to build a house, why do you have to discuss with Brother Ping'an?" ”
Xiangmei smiled: "This is natural, Sister Song herself has not covered it." ”
"What about her man?"
Xiangmei hesitated for a moment before saying, "There are only two mothers and daughters in their family, and there is no one else." ”
"Oh." Su Fang nodded, faintly feeling that something was wrong.
Xiangmei thought that her third sister and brother were married, and she was afraid that Su Fang would be too careful, so she couldn't help but add a few more words: "Our two families are originally neighbors, and they have a lot of contacts." It's almost a family, everyone takes care of each other, and it's nothing. ”
Su Fang bit her lip and didn't say anything.
