Chen Xiaoxiao lay on the bed, breathing on the pillow, and it took a while to calm down.

Her stomach hurt with hunger, her head was dizzy, her head was against the pillow, thinking about sleeping, she wouldn't be hungry after sleeping, and she really fell asleep.

When she woke up, the sun was about to set, she immediately sat up, because she got up so fast, her head was dizzy again, she stood up with support, and slowed down to get better.

When I got to the kitchen, there was no one inside, and it was quiet in the Chen family's compound.

Chen Xiaoxiao washed the pot, put the rough flour, put the water, put three washed wild eggs on the bottom, carefully put the steamer on it, and cover the pot with a lid.

After that, I kept adding fire to the side and washing the vegetables, and the pot quickly boiled, and the steamed buns were steamed.

She took the steamer down, scooped out the wild eggs with a spoon and put them in cold water for a while, holding them in her hand to transform them into space.

After doing all this, she breathed a sigh of relief.

After the cooking was finished, the meal was served to the hall, where the whole family was waiting.

Putting on the table and eating separately, Chen Yuer sat next to Chen Xiaoxiao, she was fiddling with the silver hairpin on her head at this time, trying hard to make people notice, wanting to receive the envy of others, especially Chen Xiaoxiao's.

Chen Xiaoxiao took a look and continued to eat, she was hungry, she hadn't eaten all day today, and she had to pay attention to the steamed buns.

Chen Yuer was ignored by her, very angry, and pushed her.

Chen Xiaoxiao was defenseless, the steamed bun in her hand fell to the ground, she stood up on the ground, and said angrily, "What are you doing?" ”

Chen Xiaoxiao picked up the steamed buns on the ground and blew off all the dust on them.

"If I like to push, I will push, you will beat me~" Chen Yuer said very arrogantly, and she was very proud.

Why should I bother you? Chen Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, I won't pay attention to you, she turned her head to the side and continued to eat.

"Big girl, you eat honestly, you are all people who are about to get married, why are you still so naughty." Wang especially emphasized the word marriage.

The people in the second room were all focused on eating, and they didn't even lift their heads.

Chen Dashan went to the town in the morning, and he didn't know what was going on at home, and when he heard the marriage, he asked curiously, "What marriage?" Big brother,"

"Your eldest niece's marriage is decided, she is the boy in the second room of the Shen family in the town, and she came to hire her today, and the bride price alone is six taels, and the dowry is placed at her mother's place." Chen Dajiang said proudly.

No wonder Chen Yuer is dressed like a peacock today, Chen Xiaoxiao took a closer look at her, the silver hairpin she wore on her head, and a silk flower, the clothes she wore were big pink, and she specially smeared rouge today.

Chen Yuer actually looks more heroic, but she likes to pretend to be weak, pretending to be weak, but what she can do is arrogant and unreasonable.

"Congratulations, big brother, for finding such a good son-in-law." Chen Dashan sincerely congratulated.

"My daughter is naturally good." Chen Dajiang said.

"Ahem, I'll finish eating later, the third family will stay, I have something to say." Li coughed and said to Chen Dashan.

After the meal, Chen Xiaoxiao and the three of them stayed, and although the people in each room went back to the house, they all eavesdropped with their ears open.

Li sat in the main seat, she looked at Chen Dashan and said, "You also know, the eldest girl is going to marry in the town, this family is important, and the family in the town is the Xiucai family." ”

"That's good, mother, what do you want to say?" Chen Dashan asked.

I don't want to force them to take the money, just this posture, only the three rooms of them are left, Chen Xiaoxiao thought with her head down.

Li Shi was a little uncomfortable, coughed a few times, and said, "I heard the matchmaker say today that Master Jia in the town also wants to marry a wife and keep you here, just want to say that this matter is also given, and the bride price given by the Jia family is eight taels, what do you think?" ”

Master Jia? What kind of person is this, how could he pay eight taels of silver to marry Erya, Chen Dashan and Xiao Li looked at a loss.

Chen Xiaoxiao heard this and sighed in her heart.

Li continued, "Erya got married, and there will be maids to serve in the future, which can be regarded as a good marriage for Erya." ”

"Mother, who is that Master Jia? Where to stay? Chen Dashan is just honest, but not stupid, he asked.

"There is a family surnamed Jia in the town, except for that Jia member, you listen to your mother, your mother will talk about it, and the family affairs of the second girl will also be decided, ah?" The Li family persuaded that the bride price given by the Shen family was six taels, plus eight taels from the Jia family, which was very generous.

For the sake of money, the Li family took a concubine from Jia Yuanwai and said that she would marry a wife, for this money, she had already accosted the matchmaker, I am afraid that in five or six days, the dowry of the Jia family will also be brought over.

"Mother, I think it's better to inquire." Xiao Li didn't know the bottom of her heart, she was not ready, why was her daughter going to get married.

"Yes, mother, Erya's relatives are not in a hurry, let's take our time." Chen Dashan Road.

Li Shi rolled his eyes in his heart, wait, wait for my eldest grandson's daughter-in-law's silver to fly, "No, it's settled." ”

"Grandma, how old is that Master Jia? He is an outsider, why should he marry me a country girl? Chen Xiaoxiao faintly felt that there was a ghost, and Li's expression obviously felt a little weak.

"It's only twenty years old, don't hesitate any longer, the dowry will be sent soon, my grandmother, can't she set a family for her granddaughter? Hurry up, disperse. Li said impatiently, why is the third child so inkblot today, just scold him twice, and he has to explain so much today.

She went back to the house on crutches, and the matter was settled.

Xiao Li shed tears, and said to Chen Xiaoxiao while crying, "Girl, my mother has no preparations, and she hasn't even prepared a dowry for you, so you are about to get married." ”

Chen Dashan leaned over and hugged the mother and daughter, and a sadness surrounded him.

Chen Xiaoxiao was not in the mood to be sad now, she dragged her back to their house and said to his father: "Dad, you go with me to the village chief's house and inquire about the situation of that Jia Yuanwai's house." ”

"Okay, dad will go with you, and go to the field to refill the water by the way." Chen Dashan agreed, and he went to carry the hoe.

Chen Xiaoxiao said to Xiao Li: "Mother, you stay at home well, my father and I went out." ”

She went back to her room and took out six apples from the space, these six apples were red and big, and they were drooling when she looked at them, and she thought about it and grabbed two more handfuls of hawthorn.

Originally, she wanted to keep these apples for her mother to eat secretly, but there was such a thing today, and it was not good to go empty-handed when she went to the village chief's house to inquire about things.

Chen Xiaoxiao walked out with a basket, and the basket was covered with a layer of red cloth.

Chen Dashan waited at the door, but the rest of the Chen family didn't see it, so the two of them went out together and went to the village chief's house first.

The two of them walked one after the other, and when they met someone, Chen Xiaoxiao said that they were going to the field.
