Chapter 21: I Will Be My Wife

The splash of water dripped on her little face, crystal clear, and the reflection of the sunlight made her somewhat yellowed face particularly bright and dazzling.

Suddenly, a crisp child's voice behind her interrupted Cher's thoughts.

"Dong Xue'er, are you doing laundry again? Poor little one! ”

Cher didn't have time to turn around to take a look, and a little kid in a long robe squatted next to her, looking at her with big black grape-like eyes.

Without waiting for Xue'er to speak, the little kid said again: "Dong Xue'er, you were scolded again today?" No, it's a beating! Otherwise, how can you get hurt on the head? ”

This little kid is none other than the youngest son of Li Orion's family, an outsider in Dongjia Village, who is two years older than himself, and takes classes in Dong Xiucai's private school on weekdays, and always likes to tease Dong Xueer when he is free.

It's the kind of naughty child who has no skin and no face.

"Li Yunfan, what are you doing when you don't study at home, go to the Tanshui River?" Xue'er is an adult in her bones, so she doesn't care about the ridicule in Li Yunfan's tone.

"Hmph, you care about me! It's better to take care of yourself, look at your miserable appearance, it's not broken. It's bad if you can't get married in the future! The little kid threw himself up, picked up a small rock and threw it in the water in front of Cher, and the splash of water soaked Cher's coarse cloth clothes.

The strip of cloth on Xue'er's head happened to be wrapped around her forehead, and the bleeding was above her temples, Li Yunfan thought that she was injured in the corner of her forehead, so she said so.

It's just that Xue'er was doing the laundry, and she didn't see the yin owl that flashed in the little child's eyes.

Xue'er said angrily: "How old do you know whether to marry or not?" That's my business, and it's my business that I can't get married. You better read your book!

If you don't learn well then, grandpa will punish you, so don't cry at that time! ”

"Hehe, for the sake of you still caring about me, when the time comes, you won't be able to get married, I'll marry you." The little kid said smugly.

Cher couldn't hold back her laughter, she raised her eyebrows, and while beating her clothes, she said, "Really? You're wondering. But which ear do you hear that I care about you? ”

"Hmph, I hear it in either ear."

Li Yunfan's favorite thing is to tease this little sister of the Dong family, and every time he wants to make her cry, he doesn't get his wish once. In his eyes, Dong Xue'er is a very pitiful Xiaoqiang who can't be killed.

He himself doesn't know why, he will be happy when he sees her deflated, but it seems that this little sister of the Dong family has become more neat today.

The little kid couldn't figure it out, but seeing her bleeding forehead, he said in his heart, for the sake of her injury, I won't tease her today.

He has to go to private school every day, and he hasn't seen Dong Xue'er for many days. He secretly left a pheasant leg that his mother gave him last night, and wanted to find an opportunity to give it to the little girl to eat today.

The Yun family is not good to Dong Xue'er, there is no one who doesn't know, every time he sees her skinny appearance, he will feel uncomfortable.

He carefully took out an oil-paper bag from his arms, stuffed it into Xue'er's arms and said, "Then, give it to you, eat fatter, and be my wife in the future." ”

Without waiting for Xue'er to react, the little fart suddenly got up and ran away, leaving Xue'er squatting there alone in a daze.

In the memory of the original owner, this Li Yunfan seems to have sent her food, but the Yun family does not allow children to eat things given by others outside, so Dong Xueer will refuse every time.

This time, this little kid became smart, knowing that people in this era cherish food and can't bear to waste food, so he ran away.

In fact, Li Orion's family is not a wealthy family, he is the same age as Dong Changhe, and he usually meets only nodding friends.

His great-grandfather's generation fled to the north due to the flooding of his hometown, and settled in Dongjia Village. Generations have lived by hunting.

Li Orion's father was also killed by a wild boar while hunting, so when he came to Li Orion, he desperately wanted his son to have a career and no longer have to follow him to hunt for a living.

It's a pity that Li Orion gave birth to a total of three sons, the eldest and the second are not reading materials, and now they are farming at home. Only this youngest son Li Yunfan is a talented and intelligent person, and he was accepted as a student by Dong Xiucai at the age of six and studied in Dong Xiucai's private school.

I heard that every time Li Yunfan takes an exam in the academy, he almost comes out on top.

I don't know when, the original owner fell into the eyes of the little child, and often came to find Dong Xue'er, who was working or washing clothes, and would argue with Dong Xue'er every time they met.

In fact, although Li Yunfan ran away, he didn't run far, lying behind a cherry tree to peek at Xue'er's reaction.

Cher didn't know what he was thinking, shook her head and put the oiled paper bag in her arms on the stone on the side, and continued to beat the clothes.

For the kindness of others, Xue'er will not maliciously speculate, but she still keeps this matter in her heart, and she will stay away from the little kid in the future.

If you say that you want to marry yourself as a wife in the future, it would be bad if you were a little older. After all, this is an ancient time when etiquette and religion were relatively strict, not an open modern society.

In this era, there are too many constraints and requirements for women, and since she comes here, she must follow the social laws here.

Besides, Dong Xiucai, who had already raised his feet and went to his eldest son's house, waited for Dong Changjiang, who had just been found by Dong Chengyi, in Cai's apprehension.

Dong Changjiang also knew that his father had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, today was Mu Xiu's day, and at this time in the past, his father was usually studying at home, or going to the field to help his mother do some work in the field.

Here's something going on.

"Dad, what's the matter with you?" Dong Changjiang asked unhurriedly.

Dong Changjiang is two years older than Dong Changhe, he is the eldest son in the family, he grew up in front of his parents since he was a child, although he has no interest, but his parents are partial to him, what is delicious at home at that time, except for the one left for his grandmother, he eats the most.

When the family was separated, his father gave him five acres of good paddy fields, and he also gave him five acres of dry land, which was one-third of the family's fields.

And the second father's father just lent him money and let him do it himself.

He is not the kind of person who doesn't count when he gets cheap, and of course he won't give up the cheapness he gets, in his heart, his own small family is more important.

The second child is a capable person, his parents have never given it to him, he can earn it himself, and he can't catch up with the second child's income after ten years of struggle.

He envies the ability of his second brother, but as the saying goes, people wear as much hat as they have, and they enjoy great blessings as much as they wear.

He, Dong Changjiang, is a person who doesn't have much ability, of course, he has to rely on his parents to be more biased.
