Chapter 7: Love
Chapter 7 Love
"Brother Mo, you can live with peace of mind, in fact, my father is a good person, everyone in the village knows that every time he goes home, he has to bring a lot of things back for everyone, if it weren't for his grandmother's poor health and perennial bedridden, maybe he would have been running around for business. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Ma Mingzhu also came over to chat with Wan Qiyang at this time.
"Brother Zhuzi, how old are you this year?" Looking at some immature faces, Wan Qiyang also started a topic with the pillar, at least he could learn some information about the common people.
"Brother Mo, I'm 16 years old this year, and my mother said that I can marry next year."
"Oh! Is there a girl you like? ”
"Hmm........ Hmm......." Looking at Zhuzi's somewhat shy expression, and looking at his mother from the corner of his eyes, Wan Qiyang also understood that Zhuzi must have a girl he liked.
"Did you tell your mother?"
Zhuzi shook his head, "My mother said that my father's business is not good this year, and the way of the world changes often, so I will talk about it when someone comes to the door." Obviously, the pillar was a little helpless and a little regretful.
In fact, there is no way to do this, who takes the initiative to say that it will definitely suffer some losses, some families look at their own girls to get married, if no one comes to ask for marriage, then you have to find your own way. Because it is generally believed among the people that the girls raised at home are raised for other people's families, because sooner or later they will have to get married. Besides, if you are old at home, you will eat at home, and you will not get married when you are old, you will be laughed at by your fellow villagers, and there will be bad rumors, thinking that there is something wrong or disabled.
So it makes sense for Mrs. Ma to think so, if someone else takes the initiative to come to the door, then there will not be so many conditions in the dowry, which will save money in disguise.
"Then tell my brother, whose family is that little girl? I'll tell your dad about it. Wan Qiyang also feels that he is very proud of his achievements in a family business.
Zhuzi peeked at his father and mother again, and found that the other party didn't pay attention to them, because he also had a feeling of wanting to vomit in his heart, so he lowered his head and whispered: "Brother Mo, you don't know, there are boys in this village who are about the same age as me who also like her, and the situation of their family is similar to ours, but the relationship between Qingmiao's family and the Li family is very good." The Seedlings family only moved here a few years ago, and the last time I inquired, she was a year younger than me. "As soon as Zhu Zi mentioned the 'green seedlings' in his mouth, he suddenly became out of control, and he almost didn't need to ask Zhu Zi questions, he told the general situation of the village every time.
It turns out that the girl mentioned by the pillar is another family on the opposite side of their family, surnamed Fu, is an outsider, and her father is also a runaway businessman, of course, the runaway here is not the meaning of "running away, absconding", and the runaway businessman here refers to the "living road" that has no fixed "living road", and he will do what he has to make money, and he only came from Shanxi a few years ago. A family of three, her mother is a mute, so the work of the family falls on the youngest daughter prematurely, which is the common people's family's 'poor people's children should be in charge of the house early'! Sensible early, natural maturity early. It's not even before the age of 15 that I'm ready to talk about finding my in-laws.
And the pillar is talking about another family of boys also surnamed Ma, the entire Majiabao surname Ma accounted for eighty or ninety percent, this is not to say that they are all related to each other, in fact, if you go back to the last four or five generations, there are still some blood relations, but now that blood relationship has long faded into water, in modern law are relatives can marry after three generations. That child's name is Ma Xiaoyu, his name is very ordinary, who called his father a fisherman! The names of the children's children of the common people are the cheaper the better, so you can hear the two dogs, the hammer and so on everywhere.
And there are three villages in this Majiabao, their village is on the side of the road, so it is relatively large, but not the largest one, it can be regarded as the second largest, because it is another village about ten minutes away from the field road, there are almost 30 households, and there are only 10 households in the remaining village a little farther away from the road, and the three villages are arranged in the inverted shape of the word "product".
basically understood some of the situation in Majiapu, but Wan Qianyang's mind was on some objects in his hands, first of all, the mobile phone and wallet he carried, of course, including some banknotes and ID cards and bank cards. These must not be seen by others, and the other is that the jade card must be a treasure, that is, it was activated by thunder and lightning to make itself come to the Ming Dynasty for no reason, and it is unharmed, so it is a treasure. In addition, the most useful are these two ingots, but Wan Qiyang still doesn't know what its current value is, and where else can it be traded for large amounts.
So Wan Qiyang only had to ask the pillar first to see how much he knew what the usual expenses were, so he pulled the pillar and asked in a low voice: "Pillar, do you know how much the family spends in a month?" ”
The pillar was a little dazed, Wan Qiyang knew that there was no play when he saw this, and he didn't expect him to answer any valuable answers.
"Brother Mo, don't worry, my father and mother are very good-hearted people, and they won't let you take the money. Although my grandmother needed to see a doctor and take medicine in bed, my dad said that he wouldn't make us hungry when he was outside. ”
"I'll go, how did he think of going here." Wan Qiyang was also speechless, so he had to laugh awkwardly.
It seems that Wan Qiyang can only ask Uncle Ma directly, and he will no longer talk to Zhuzi.
"Brother Mo, where is your headscarf?" At this time, the pillar suddenly asked, and really let Wan Qiyang freeze it, by the way, he almost forgot that this is the Ming Dynasty, and it is a man who has to use a turban to net his hair and then generally tie a bun on the top of his head, which used to be tied with a hairband on his forehead, but now it is rarely used. So some people directly bring hats, which is more convenient, but ordinary people generally use cloth towels instead of all decorations, but they still have to tie up their hair, but fortunately, Wan Qiyang's hair is still quite long, and he can barely tie it up. So in the early Qing Dynasty, there was a tragic incident of keeping a head without hair, and leaving a hair without a head, and the Manchu court also promulgated a law specifically for this purpose, of course, for this purpose, it also killed many Han people who did not want to shave their heads.
"Alas, pillar, you don't know how powerful that explosion was, and what kind of headscarf? Even the clothes are gone, and there are people with bare butts everywhere, and I also picked up the rags and put them on, and most of my hair is burned. Wan Qiyang deliberately said very seriously to cover up his situation.
"Pillar, let your brother Mo rest for a while, don't always ask this and that. The explosion in the morning was so scary that I'm afraid it's going to be chaotic for a while, so let's not run around for the time being. I'll talk about it when it's over for a while. Uncle Ma came over at this time and asked Zhuzi to take care of his grandmother, and then sat opposite Wan Qiyang.
"Uncle Ma, you just call me Yangzai, that's what my elders call me." Wan Qiyang remembered that his parents usually called him that, and he couldn't help but look gloomy.
