Lotus Village.

Listening to the movement outside, Jiaojiao understood that her father was back, she hurriedly took off her apron, and entered the yard with her mother.

"Slow down, slow down, watch the steps." Cheng's mother followed Zhang Luo, and everyone worked together to send Cheng Laohan into the hall, Jiaojiao had already put cushions on the seat, and after her father sat down, she brought him a thin quilt and covered her body.

Cheng Laohan sat down, his eyes swept over everyone one by one, Cheng's mother was only worried: "His father, what do you think?" ”

Cheng Laohan bowed his head slightly and said, "It's okay, don't worry." ”

After speaking, Cheng Laohan's eyes fell on his daughter, and he only said, "Jiaojiao, come here." ”

Hearing his father calling him, Jiaojiao obediently walked to his father's side, Cheng Laohan held his daughter's hand, looked at Li Chengda again, and said in a low voice: "Chengsan, you come too." ”

"Cheng San, you listen, Jiaojiao's life is hard, it's good to hold a girl, she has a fever and becomes dumb, I don't ask for anything else, I don't want a dowry, I just have a request, you can make this marriage more lively, don't let Jiaojiao be wronged." Cheng Laohan said, putting his daughter's little hand in Li Chengda's palm.

Jiaojiao listened to her father's words, and only felt shocked, did her father agree to marry her to Li Chengda?

"Dad, what nonsense are you talking about?" Cheng's mother was also stunned, she glanced at Li Chengda in front of her in shock, and she couldn't understand her husband's decision.

"Dad, why do you want to marry Jiaojiao to Li Chengda? You forgot that you were still angry with him! Cheng Yuanqiao also stood up and yelled at his father.

Cheng Laohan's face sank, and he shouted at Cheng Yuanqiao in a dumb voice: "I'm angry with you!" ”

Seeing that her father was angry, Jiaojiao hurriedly gestured to her father, begging her father not to be angry, Cheng Yuanqiao saw that his father was angry, and saw that his eldest brother glared at him, and he didn't dare to say anything more.

"He's your brother-in-law, you can speak politely in the future!" Cheng Laohan remembered that he was lying in the hospital and couldn't move in the past few days, Cheng Yuanqiao either didn't go, went or gossiped with people, or just fell asleep there, Cheng Laohan had already accumulated a fire in his heart, and only shouted at Cheng Yuanqiao again.

Jiaojiao ran her chest for her father, for fear that Cheng Laohan would be angry with the stroke again.

Cheng Laohan looked at his daughter's white little face, his heart calmed down slightly, he patted his daughter's hand gently, "Okay, Jiaojiao, daddy is fine." After speaking, Cheng Laohan looked at Li Chengda, "Chengsan, don't pestle, go back and prepare for marriage." ”

"Yes." Li Chengda agreed, but he didn't move, his eyes fell on Jiaojiao, looking at Jiaojiao's beautiful face, he only felt that the whole person was dizzy, as if he couldn't even walk.

Jiaojiao noticed his gaze, two red clouds flew on her face, she lowered her eyes, her soft eyelashes trembled slightly, she didn't know what had happened in the past few days, it would make her father change his mind, she only knew that her heart was beating so fast, and the joy came too suddenly, which only made people a little overwhelmed.

"Okay Chengsan, you go back first, you're tired these days, go back and have a good rest." Cheng Yuanshan saw Li Chengda looking at his sister without blinking, for fear that he would make his father unhappy again and let this marriage happen again, so he immediately stepped forward and grabbed Li Chengda's arm and took him out of the courtyard.

"Big brother, I still have to bother you to take care of Jiaojiao more these days, so I'll go back and ask for a matchmaker, and I'll come to propose marriage in two days."

"Don't worry, my father has the final say in everything in our family, since he agreed to your marriage with Jiaojiao, your daughter-in-law is married." The corners of Cheng Yuanshan's lips showed a hint of a smile, and patted Li Chengda's shoulder, these days in the hospital, Li Chengda's care for Cheng Laohan was in his eyes, and he also recognized his sister's choice.

Li Chengda was open-minded, only hugged his fist towards Cheng Yuanshan, and left Lotus Village non-stop, just returned home and was busy inviting a matchmaker, looking at the day, and went to the neighboring village to invite a mason, repaired the roof of his house, and then began to prepare for the dowry, according to local customs, the dowry half a pig, two fish, four pieces of cloth, plus six boxes of snacks, six jars of wine, Li Chengda brought silver, it was really not delayed for a moment, and immediately went to the town.

Li Chengda first went to the cloth village, pulled a few pieces of cloth, and then went to the pastry shop to wrap a few large bags of snacks, and finally went to the winery to order six jars of good wine.

Before he finished eating a piece of baked cake, Li Chengda saw an old man standing in the corner of the wall, the old man was dressed in rags, and his eyes looked directly at the baked cake in his hand, it seemed that he had not eaten for a long time.

Li Chengda looked at it, so he gave the old man a piece of baked cake, and said, "Take it." ”

The old man's eyes lit up, and he immediately stepped forward to take the baked cake, first thanked him, and then devoured it.

Li Chengda has always been easy-going, and he didn't care about sitting with a beggar at this time, the old man finished eating his baked cake in a few bites, and his eyes looked at the remaining half of the baked cake in Li Chengda's hand, and quietly swallowed his saliva.

Li Chengda looked at it and said with a smile: "You want this too?" ”

The old man nodded a little confusedly.

Li Chengda handed over the half of the baked cake again, he only planned to buy a steamed bun for a while, the old man took the half of the baked cake, he was only very grateful in his heart, and said "Thank you, little brother", his eyes fell on Li Chengda's face, his eyes were slightly startled, and then he ate again, but this time the speed was much slower, and his eyes were still carefully looking at Li Chengda's face.

"I see that my little brother's face is unspeakably expensive, I don't know where it is?" Seeing that Li Chengda was packing up his things and wanted to leave, the old man asked out loud.

As soon as he heard this, Li Chengda was happy, "Unspeakably expensive? Old man, I'm so poor that I don't even have the money to marry my daughter-in-law, where does I get my extravagance? ”

The old man just shook his head, "You have a long and accurate sun, sword eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and in less than three years, you will definitely soar." ”

"If I soar, I will be rewarded." Li Chengda didn't take the old man's words to heart at all, and smiled casually with the old man.

"If you don't believe me, you'll see in three years."

"Don't talk about these things that you don't have, you might as well calculate the marriage for me," Li Chengda saw that the old man had a serious face, but he was a little interested, and reported himself and Jiaojiao's eight characters to the old man, and said: "You give me a test, see if my marriage can be successful?" ”

The old man's eyes narrowed slightly, his fingers pinched a few fingers, and then he said to Li Chengda: "You and this girl are a match made in heaven, and you will be rich and noble in the future, and your children and grandchildren will be full." ”

"Really?" Li Chengda was overjoyed, although he knew that he couldn't believe this kind of words, he still felt very happy.

"Seriously." The old man also smiled slightly.

Li Chengda took some copper coins from his arms, handed them to the old man, and said loudly; "Then take your good word."

After finishing speaking, Li Chengda picked up the things on the side and said goodbye to the old man.

Looking at his back, the old man did not leave immediately, but only said to himself: "This little brother's face is indeed indescribably precious, is it possible that in such a small place, there will be a ......"

At this, the old man stopped, shook his head slightly, and got up to leave.
