Chapter 43: There is a woman Chuchu
Sixteen years old? Can you give birth? Liu Yiyi's heart twitched. Who wouldn't want to marry a daughter-in-law? But to let him marry a sixteen-year-old girl, isn't it a little... It seems that such a big girl used to start calling him uncle...
Lao Liu didn't pay attention to the expression on Liu Yiyi's face, and said to himself: "The girl's family lives in Xiaoxinzhuang, her surname is Zhang, her name is Chuchu, she is the daughter of Zhang Xiaoliang, and there is a big brother above, Zhang Chuwen, well, it is the scholar who came to our family last time to treat the cow, you have all seen it." They like you too..."
"Dad," Liu Yiyi interrupted Liu's honest words, and said with a bitter face: "I still have a lot of affairs to deal with now, can we mention this matter in the future?" ”
"I'll mention it later?!" Lao Liu's face darkened at that time, and he reprimanded: "You don't have the right to intervene in this matter!" It's good for you to stay on the sidelines. Your mother and I are very fond of Miss Chuchu, and it has been decided. ”
"yes, one." Liu He also persuaded on the side: "When the man gets married, you are already eighteen, what does it look like if you don't marry a wife and have children?" It only adds to the gossip of others. ”
"But, mother..."Liu Yiyi still wanted to fight for it again, but was interrupted by Lao Liu's ****, Lao Liu bluffed and said: "There is nothing but, I am in charge of this matter, I will go to the dowry tomorrow and set a wedding day." The incense of the Lao Liu family is still waiting for you to continue! ”
After speaking, Lao Liu threw off his sleeves and went out, not giving Liu a chance to speak.
Liu Yiyi looked at his mother with an earnest face, and then looked at Liu Ertiao who was smiling evilly on the side, and sighed helplessly, not knowing whether to be happy or worried. actually hugged Liu Xiaohui and walked out of the house.
In fact, in the matter of marrying a wife, Liu Yiyi is quite willing, both psychologically and physically.
The so-called red-sleeved fragrance reads at night, drunk and sleeps on the knees of beauties, and what man doesn't want a beautiful woman or even multiple beauties to accompany him often. But to marry such a young girl, he still can't accept it in terms of morality.
It is precisely because of this that when Lao Liu was forced to marry a wife for him, although Liu Yiyi objected, he did not resolutely stop it.
Liu Yiyi found a clean place to sit down and put Liu Xiaohui on his lap. asked softly: "Little sister, the eldest brother asks you a question, you have to answer honestly." Well, did you see Sister Chu Chu when you just arrived in Xiaoxinzhuang? ”
"Hmm. Sister Chu Chu, I saw it. Sister Chu Chu still likes Xiaohui very much. Liu Xiaohui nodded cutely.
"Oh? Is Sister Chuchu good-looking? Yanagichichi felt a little dirty. He clearly said that he didn't agree, but he was still here to inquire about the gossip.
"It's good-looking, it's even better than my mother's mother!" Liu Xiaohui hugged Liu Yiyi's arm and said coquettishly: "Big brother, will you marry Sister Chu Chu back?" Xiaohui wants to play with Sister Chu Chu. ”
"Uh.." Such a young child knows this? But it is really not easy to make a child like her so much in less than an hour. Liu Yiyi patted Liu Xiaohui's head gently, and said, "I'll talk about this later, is it okay for the eldest brother to take you to ride Xiaohuang now?" ”
"Wow! Thank you, big brother! In Liu Xiaohui's cheerful laughter, Xiao Huang became her mount.
After playing for a while, he felt that Liu Erjo had almost written it, so Liu Yiyi sent Liu Xiaohui to Liu He's again.
After that, he went out with the contract that Liu Erjo had copied.
Wang Kui's original field was in the north of Sanyuan County, less than two miles away from Gutian Village, where Liu Yiyi was located. Therefore, it would not take Liu Yiyi more than two moments to reach the gathering place of those tenants.
Ninety-one households, three hundred and eighty-one, of which one hundred and fifty-eight were men who could farm. The others were old people, women, and children, who could not land or plough, nor could they create much wealth for Liu Yiyi. So Liu Yiyi only brought a total of 158 contracts with him this time.
Although he is very sympathetic to the living conditions of these villagers, Liu Yiyi will never sign a group of idlers who can eat. After all, he is also poor now, and he can't afford to sign it.
Moreover, the wages that Liu Yiyi gave to these men were enough for their family's expenses for a month. He doesn't have to worry about it.
By the time Liu Yiyi arrived, Li Dechen had already gathered all the ninety-one families on the list. All of them were men over 15 years old and under 60 years old. Seeing Liu Yiyi coming, they all stood aside in an orderly manner. They all have a very common fear of the owner.
Liu Yiyi didn't care, and asked Li Dechen to move a pair of tables and chairs and put them in the yard. Sit down in a chair and put a brush, an inkstone, a box of red clay, and a stack of contracts on the table. After that, he said: "Fellow countrymen, let's officially start signing the contract now." Those who are literate sign their names, and those who are illiterate leave their own handprints. One contract for you, I'll keep one. After signing, go home and wait for the news. After the spring warm land thaws, I will ask Li Laozheng to inform you to reclaim the wasteland. ”
"Well, there are thirty hectares of land, eleven ploughing oxen, and a series of common farm tools such as plows and columbians. When the time comes, I will divide the land equally among you according to the number of people, and the ploughing cattle will use it in turn. Well, let Li Laozhan tell you in detail about the specific matters in the future. Alright, let's get started. ”
Liu Yiyi glanced at Li Dechen and said, "Let's start with Li Laozhan." The rest came from near and far, one by one. ”
"Thank you, owner!" Li Dechen walked to the table and bent down to thank Liu Yiyi.
Yanagichi nodded and handed him the pen. More than 100 contracts were signed, and it took nearly half an hour to sign. After the signing, the afternoon passed. Yanagichi didn't even have time to go to the blacksmith shop. I had to put the matter of fixing the plowshare on hold for the time being.
When I got home, I found that there was a lot of cloth in the main hall of my home. Liu Laoshi was holding a piece of cloth and inspecting it.
Liu Yiyi approached, strangely like Liu Yiyi and asked, "Dad, why do you have so many cloths at home?" What to do? ”
Lao Liu put the cloth in his hand on the table and said with a smile: "One, come, take a look, there are five pieces of cloth, three pairs of jade bracelets, a pair of headdresses, and two sets of new clothes." Well, as a dowry for tomorrow's proposal, it should be enough, right? Huh..."
"Dowry?" Liu Yiyi was wrong, but he didn't expect what Liu said honestly in the afternoon to be true. "Dad, are you in a hurry?" Liu Yiyi said. I just picked up the reason in the afternoon, and I will be hired tomorrow, which is too outrageous, right?
"What's the hurry?!" Lao Liu glared and said, "I wish I could marry you tomorrow and hold my grandson the day after tomorrow." Are you too fast? When others were your age, there were two or three children! ”
Seeing that Liu Yi was silent, Lao Liu slowed down his tone and said: "I have set the date, and on the fifth day of the next month, I will discuss with my in-laws and set the date for the marriage." Then you will go with me to meet your future father-in-law and mother-in-law, and give them a good old age. He glanced at Liu Yiyi and said, "If you have the chance, maybe you can still meet Miss Chu Chu." ”
Liu Yiyi's eyes lit up, and Lao Liu's last sentence was quite attractive to him....
