Although my father and mother lost her temper, Tian Xin finally explained the matter of the East Market Lantern Festival at breakfast the next day, of course, she hid the part of the Xiao family, and did not mention the danger of almost being whipped. The Guanyin lantern carpenter and sister-in-law Ren were involved, and they thought that Tianxin was just the same as the previous two years, ready to make a splash at the West Market Lantern Festival, so they said that they would not refuse her request. Now that they heard their daughter say that the lanterns were sold for a sky-high price of 100 taels, the Ren family and his wife looked at each other in disbelief. Tianxin took out the bag of silver and handed it to her father: "Mother, it's this bag of silver, it's really a hundred taels, I ordered it!" It's just that the daughter is going to draw twenty taels and distribute them to the neighbors who help, and they all ask for a lottery......

"It should be, it should be." Sister-in-law Ren looked at the silver, stretched out her hand, and retracted it again, "Her father, what do you see?" ”

The carpenter bit the steamed bun and did not speak, nor did he go to get the silver.

"Dad, with this silver, our shop can buy some new goods."

"No, I don't. Let your mother keep this money for you. The neighborhood asks your mother to do it, and if twenty taels is not enough, take more, don't let people gossip. ”

"Well, then I'll go and change the silver bill." This piece of silver, it is indeed better for an adult to come forward, and my sister-in-law took it. Tianxin still has her own arrangements, begged for five taels, asked her mother to replace it with "Fuzhu", and prepared to pack a purse and give it to the children of the team.

I never thought that after last night's East Market Lantern Festival, the West Market would worship Tianxin as a lucky boy. Ordinary people are always like this, if they hear something bad luck, they can immediately send people to hell, but they can see some lucky things, and they can exaggerate them to the point that they don't look like mortal things. Therefore, if Tianxin wants to float by in a low-key manner, it must be impossible. Fortunately, early in the morning, Ren's sister-in-law took care of the neighbors, and each family benefited from it, so she naturally spoke better. The people of Xishi are easy to be satisfied, and although there are envy, jealousy and hatred, there are only a few. Despite this, the Ren family has become more popular since then, mostly under the banner of watching wooden toys to inquire about ways to make money.

Only then did Tianxin realize how capable the children of this group of children were, and their propaganda ability was far more powerful than she expected. She distributed the blessing bead purse to the children according to their level, and the two children of the sixth family got the lion's share. Everyone went home happily and gave publicity to their families and their neighbors.

Early the next morning, the aunt of the sixth family boarded the door of Ren's house and told Ren's sister-in-law that the needlework team Yunxiufang in the West Market had new tricks, and she copied it. On weekdays, the sixth aunt also comes from time to time, mostly to ask Ren's sister-in-law for needlework or to look like a rope, she is not as good as the relationship between the sixth and Ren carpenter, so today to send the pattern, Ren's sister-in-law feels a little different, there must be something.

The sixth aunt and the east and the west family chattered for a while, and the sister-in-law was accompanied by a smiling face and did not say much. When Tianxin walked home from the shop, the sixth aunt had no plans to go back. Sister-in-law Ren saw that she didn't leave, so she had to open her mouth to leave the meal and let Tianxin help with the trivial things in the kitchen. Tianxin went to the kitchen, and the sixth aunt couldn't help but speak: "Sister-in-law Ren, I have something to discuss with you today." I'm hiding it from the sixth child of our family, I want to hear what you mean......" Seeing that Sister-in-law Ren was listening carefully, the sixth aunt hesitated and continued, "Our junior is a junior, I have seen fifteen, and I really fall in love with your family Tianxin, I play together, I am busy together, and the lanterns are all made together." You also saw it, I want the two children to get married as soon as possible. ”

Sister-in-law Ren was surprised: "It's too early!" Our family Xin'er is only eight years old......"

The sixth aunt looked embarrassed: "It's early." It's just that the third brother of our family, you know, has been in private school for a few years, and he is a person who can read, and he always wants to let him go to school and take a career in office. It's just that this road is also very variable, if you can settle with Xin'er earlier, Xiao San can also study with peace of mind, if he is smooth sailing, won't our two families have settled in the future. The more I talked, the more energetic I became, as if the junior was already in high school. Sister-in-law Ren is more rational than the sixth aunt, don't look at her usually getting carried away when she hurts her daughter, and when she encounters other things, she is also an understanding person. Obedient to the sound, gongs and drums to listen to the sound, she felt that the sixth aunt suddenly came to mention family affairs, there must be something else in it. Just thinking about what to do, Tianxin came in with a teapot.

"My aunt is idle today, what are you discussing with my mother?" Tianxin took the tea of the sixth aunt and replaced it with a hot one, she "coincidentally" heard the confession behind the sixth aunt, and she knew that it was seven, seven, eighty, eight, eight, eight, eight

The sixth aunt smiled cheekily, naturally she couldn't say this in front of Tianxin, she could only be confused: "What can you discuss, that's it." Sister-in-law Ren, I'll just mention it, you think about it first, and I'll sit back in a few days. Don't send it, I'm still in a hurry to go back to cooking. ”

Tianxin didn't know Sister-in-law's plans, but she was sure that she didn't want to live with her third brother for the rest of her life. Although she doesn't have any lofty ideals, she also has her own little attachment to marriage: "Mother, I heard it, my aunt is here to say goodbye to me." ”

"You kid, you can say anything." Sister-in-law Ren patted her on the head.

"Mother, I don't think it's appropriate...... My daughter is still young, and she still has a long way to go. Tianxin said bluntly to her mother, she likes this kind of frank family relationship very much.

"My mother didn't plan to agree to this family. This little three is not down-to-earth. It's not that I don't look down on the old six families, it's just that they are bent on pointing to the junior as an official, and I don't think it's easy to succeed. They have a lot of children, if you marry in the past, there will be more brothers and sisters, and there will be more troubles, and my mother will not be willing to give it up. I'd rather find you a simpler home. Sister-in-law Ren said as she smoothed her daughter's hair, and the gentle gesture made Tianxin want to fall asleep peacefully. Since her mother has seen it so thoroughly, she naturally doesn't need to say much, it's good to have such parents!

But that's not the end of the story. Just after noon, Xiao Qi hurriedly ran to find Tianxin. He often comes on weekdays, but now his expression is deep. Tianxin guessed that it was related to what Aunt Six mentioned in the morning, so she followed Xiao Qi to the backyard. Xiao Qi stood for a long time, his face turned red, and he didn't hold back a word. His belt is still tied with a dead knot, Tianxin has always wanted to ask him, how to untie it when he takes off his clothes every day? After all, I didn't ask. Xiao Qi's shoes had already rubbed up a small pile of soil on the ground, and he raised his head ruthlessly and said, "My mother said, give the third brother and you a kiss!" ”

"What did your mother tell you?" Tianxin asked rhetorically.

Xiao Qi gritted his teeth: "I eavesdropped." I heard my mother and third brother talk in the back room. You...... Don't say yes. Don't say yes to your parents. ”

"Why?"

"Because...... My mother wants your family to go to school with your third brother. As soon as these words came out, Xiao Qi said smoothly, "The third brother studied well, got off the private school, and wanted to go to the school, but the landlord refused to do so, and the landlord didn't succeed, I was afraid that the third brother would go to the official after studying, so they insisted that they would ask for thirty taels of silver for the facilitation fee." This time, your lantern was sold for a lot of money, and my mother ...... My mother's eyes were red, and she said that you are a fortune man, as long as you help the third brother, you will definitely be able to do it. ”

"So what are you telling me all about? If the third brother becomes an official, you can also follow the light. Tianxin looked at him coldly.

"I ...... I don't want to, I don't want them to do this to you. How can our family's affairs depend on you? The third brother doesn't really feel sorry for you, he has a girl he likes, and I don't want you to suffer this grievance. But my mother won't listen to me, although the third brother is unwilling, but he really wants to test his fame. I'll tell you this, don't tell your parents, they will definitely hate our family. ”

Tianxin smiled, this child is honest and sincere, but he is still too young and has no brains: "Then how do you let me convince my father?" ”

"Just say...... Just say, or just say, when I grow up and make money, I'll propose to you! ”

"Nonsense. If I say that, your mother will have to beat you until you vomit blood. Xiao Qi is only ten years old, Tianxin often thinks of his younger brother Changle when he looks at him, the same integrity, the same lack of tactfulness, the same thick eyebrows and big eyes, and the same swollen face to the fat man......

"I mean it! I'll just mention it to my mother when I get home. You wait for me, don't tell your father and mother anything. I'm going to tell my mother, I'm going to ask you to be your daughter-in-law!" The third brother has a girl he likes, I don't have it, I ...... I'm going to tell my mother. "Turn around and really want to go.

Tianxin pulled this stunned young man and knocked on the door of his brain: "You are stupid, how old are you, you want to ask for a daughter-in-law." If you don't have a girl you like, please me, so what should you do if you have a girl you like in the future? Divorce me again? Don't worry, I can solve it. You just act like it's okay. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Qi was anxious: "I don't like the girl, but I like you!" You're the ...... I've seen The best-looking, smartest people. I want to live with you for the rest of my life, I promise to be the same as my father, I will never talk back if you scold me! Your business is my business, and I will make my own money to support your family! ”

The more Tianxin listened, the amier it became, and she didn't know how to convince him: "How do you support your family?" ”

"I'll be a good person!"

"I know a good man named Lei Feng, who only does good things and does not do bad things in his life. Later......"

"What happened?"

Later, he died. 22-year-old died. There is no marriage, not even a marriage. ”

"That'...... I went to join the army during the Chinese New Year. I can't study, and when I become a general, I will be able to support you! ”

"You think it's so easy to be a general? Just rush to the battlefield and fight and kill? Great generals must know tactics, the art of war, and the strategy. What will you be? Listen to me, marriage is all the order of your parents, the words of the matchmaker, you are thinking nonsense here, it is also a vain thought. The third brother's business, you don't have to worry about it, my mother won't agree. I won't tell anyone what you say today. You are still young, you don't understand the things of love, and when you are older and have someone you like, it's not too late to talk about marriage. You said that when the general feeds me, I will write it down, no matter what happens in the future, I will be good friends with you for life, come, hook up with you, talk to me! ”

Tianxin's call, Xiao Qi couldn't fully digest it at once, but looking at Tianxin's white and tender little finger, he couldn't help but stretch out his finger in response. Hook and hang, for a hundred years, it is not allowed to change......
