Chapter 100: I'm Too Hard

Mrs. Niu is not careful, she is happy! "Don't think about it too much, we countrymen don't have so many rules, they all say that marrying a good daughter-in-law Wang three generations, as long as it can be done, I wish these female generals would marry our village!"

Then I didn't say anything, hurry up and arrange a blind date!

Mrs. Niu won't go back tonight, she will go back to the town with Mrs. Hu tomorrow, but someone has to arrange the affairs of the family, who is appropriate? Naturally, she took care of the flower woman who collected money in the private room at the back.

"It's raining, it's hard to walk on the road, you guys drive slowly."

Sending off the flower woman, Mrs. Niu went back upstairs to discuss with Mrs. Hu, and the two of them went back to the town together early tomorrow morning, taking Ning Zhong, Ning Zhan, and Ning Qiang's Geng post, saying that the affinity and the relatives were done together.

Mrs. Niu really can't go back to town today, she wants to help Mrs. Hu look at the dowry, Ning Zhong is the most realistic, and the dowry she prepared is a box of silver, all silver ingots with white flowers. This is not right, the dowry should have all kinds of things, and it is best to have live geese.

Mrs. Hu sat upstairs and gave an order, to catch live geese, catch a few more, not to be killed, the kind that wants to be alive and jumpy, and those who wilt will not succeed, so they must jump up lively.

Ning Zhan and Ning Qiang prepared a few things, a pair of big gold bracelets, the same as tree branches, a gold hairpin that did not have any style, two red, red, green and green satins, and then silver, and also prepared a box, not as much as Ning Zhong, looking at hundreds of taels.

In accordance with the customs of her hometown, Mrs. Niu told Mrs. Hu about the rules of the dowry.

"We have to give three animals over there, two pairs of live chickens, a big carp, and a big red-tailed carp is the best. Have wine, sugar, tea!

The fruit box contains lotus seeds, sesame seeds, red beans, mung beans, red dates, and persimmons. There should be a handful of incense, a plate of firecrackers, and a pair of bracelets in the incense box.

Prepare two buckets of each grain, put it in a cloth bag, and finally it is a wedding cake, which you don't need to prepare, I let it be baked at home and packed it into a box. ”

Mrs. Hu urgently shouted that Dahua would take people to work, and she must prepare to come out today.

"Don't take out the money! It is enough to have a gold bracelet, and the day before the golden hairpin got married, the combing lady brought it to the middle. After Mrs. Niu finished speaking, she slapped her thigh and called Liu Yanyan to come up.

Busy instructing Liu Yanyan to say: "Go buy taro, pomegranate, ginger, coarse salt!" ”

Mrs. Hu stopped the girls from running, but Mrs. Niu waved her hand and said, "No, this is the woman's return gift, and the gift you sent must be returned to the man." Oops! I don't know if I made shoes for Dazhongzi, I can't make shoes! ”

Liu Yanyan clasped his hands together and said, "Ming'er is not hired?" Shoes and socks, pants will be given when the deadline is due, and tomorrow will even set the date? Official media ......"

"Yes, I have to invite the official media, and I want the official media to follow me three times, to be hired, to ask for a date, and on the day of marriage, the official media must follow! Have you invited the official media? Mrs. Niu remembered the same again.

Mrs. Hu shouted: "Rest assured, the official media are all set!"

Then he asked Mrs. Niu, "This trip is a gift, when is the right time to go?" ”

Mrs. Niu explained, "We don't invite the month of Layue over there, you have to come to the winter month at the latest, the date is set for next spring, you find someone to calculate the day."

In fact, we only have two trips over there, the first time to see each other, the official media do not need to take it, if we are in love, please invite the official media to come to a trip, and the ceremony will be followed by the fixed date, so as not to give the official media more money.

It's not our urgency, the children at home are busy, and a lot of things are not prepared! That, after a while, I have to make a troublesome trip, and I have to ask my daughter to make shoes and socks and clothes for my son-in-law, right? ”

Mrs. Hu smiled and said, "You don't have to be sorry, our side is similar, I ran several times to marry my daughter-in-law." Da Zhongzi, they are the same as my own children, and it doesn't matter if I run a few more times. ”

Liu Yanyan shouted again, "Auntie, it's colder here than ours, this season the geese are returning south, and when the time comes, can there still be live geese?" ”

Mrs. Niu waved her hand and said, "Isn't this going to catch it!" I caught it today, cut my wings, and raised it in the house! Ensure that it is warm and live to the middle of the invitation, the day is set, and we will eat it! ”

Mrs. Hu laughed, and the purpose of the wild goose was to stew it in the pot at the end.

Mrs. Hua left at two o'clock in the afternoon, the road is really not easy to walk, the official road is a wider dirt road, after the rain is full of mud puddles, the slightest carelessness of the wheel will sink into the mud puddle.

Two walls were urgently added to the grass hut at the entrance of the town to keep out the wind. The flower woman got out of the car in the dark of night and walked into the shed where the torches were lit.

"It's all dark, why are you still here?" The flower lady greeted everyone.

The third uncle of the clan explained: "Let's build a fire wall like your cake shelf, so that the layers are built up like a staircase, and the bottom is hot, so that we can put the vegetables grown on the kang." ”

The flower woman smashed this mouth and said, "Tsk, I'm busy with you!" Vegetable seeds were planted in the wooden box, and the sprouts didn't come out! Why are you in a hurry? ”

Besides, you shout every day, there are not enough bricks to build a house in the spring, you won't save bricks and use soil embryos to build stairs and kang? We don't dare to say, we don't dare to ask! Lest you say that my wife is troublesome!

Fang Mingzhang said: "Auntie, don't worry about it, we can finish it." If you build a kang, you don't need Mingjiang to make a wooden shelf, besides, we didn't use a new type of plaster, we used yellow mud, and when it was removed in the spring, the bricks could be used again. ”

"Fell so old and ran out of adobe?" Hua Pozi looked at the two adobe walls with disgust.

Fang Mingcai smiled and said, "It's not like it's used up!" The mill we built next to the waterwheel, how many adobes were used, I looked at the savings a lot, but in fact, it was really not much. ”

The flower woman smashed her mouth again, and said in her heart, what are you doing all day! Since I came here, I said that I wanted to save adobe to build something...... Yes, I built a greenhouse that can grow vegetables in winter, but the greenhouse was not built, so that each family planted vegetables on the kang.

"What's wrong with you?" The patriarch handed the brick in his hand to Fang Mingcai, and said in his heart, if the old lady's family doesn't come back, she will rest on the kang head, and come here to make trouble!

Hua Pozi patted her thigh and said, "It's not a problem!" ”

Fang Mingyuan was squatting on the north wall to help hand bricks to the cigarette holder, and turned his head when he heard this, "Auntie, why didn't my mother come back?" What's wrong with Leping Shop? ”

"What's the matter? Big deal! Hua Pozi found a stack of bricks and sat down, "Mrs. Ming'er Hu is here to propose, are you ready?" ”

The third uncle smiled: "Of course it's ready, we are women, and there are not many things to prepare, so we have prepared them." The baking room also made a lot of wedding cakes, although it was the man who prepared the wedding cakes, but Da Zhongzi's babies didn't worry about their parents, and they all counted on Mrs. Hu, where could they take care of it? ”

Hua Pozi clasped her hands together and said, "Before I come back, my mother still instructs!" Let's make the cakes, don't let Mrs. Hu buy them outside, you just make them. ”

Fang Mingxian was chatting with Fang Mingzhang, "Watching us chirp and plant grain in the field, you can see when you look at the seedlings, the harvest is uncertain, the leaves of the wheat seedlings are like hair, I am afraid that the wind will blow away." ”

"Look at what you said, what are you sweating for? There are also a few hairs thick. Fang Mingzhang sighed and said: "The patriarch has been collecting grain in the town since we came, and he has collected two more carts in the past few days, saying that it is expensive to come up with grain in the winter, so we will not accept it." But I calculated that if the people's food is cut off next year, there will still be not enough food to eat from spring to autumn. ”

"And the baking room! White flour should be used every day, and it is not enough to specify not to collect grain. Fang Mingxian didn't finish sighing, and smiled again: "If we left it in the past, we wouldn't dare to think about selling food to eat, tighten our belts, and deal with two meals of gruel a day!" It's a different story now. ”

"That's, Brother Mingyuan said, there is great power in numbers! We're just different, don't you know! We will soon have 1,000 taels of silver in our public account! Fang Mingzhang whispered to the grapevine.

Fang Mingxian's eyes lit up, and he asked in a low voice, "How many are there?" ”

"Selling charcoal finally got back five hundred taels, there are two hundred taels on our public account, and the roasting house has not yet closed the account, I heard Mingyuan's daughter-in-law say, there are probably more than three hundred taels, in the past two days, we have sold hundreds of catties of open pine nuts, net profit of twenty taels, and a tiger skin sold for one hundred taels!" Fang Mingzhang shook his head proudly.

"According to you, how can there be a thousand taels? Besides, selling a hundred taels of tiger skins, giving away all the tiger's patella, and the tiger whip is also counted in one hundred taels, and getting rid of those who are given to Huoyang Village, we have earned less than ten taels of silver. Fang Mingxian pouted, this product must not have listened to Qian Chuanzi's lecture well, and the calculation of accounts was not smart.

Changle plucked up the courage to come over, and squeezed out a sentence after a while: "Dad, I have a crush on a woman, you can help me talk about it tomorrow!" ”

"What?" Fang Mingxian was stunned, when did Lao Tzu take care of his son's marriage to his daughter-in-law? Besides, are you like a matchmaker? And help you talk about ...... "who?" It's been two days since your kid entered the city, have you been molesting other people's big girls outside? See if Lao Tzu doesn't kill you. ”

Changle whined, jumped up and ran, mother! You'll be coming soon! It's too hard for a son.
