Chapter 11 There is no hope of proposing
Sister-in-law Xi worked hard for a long time to clean up the stove, but the pots and pans were all wood ash, and it was useless for Xi Hongdou to make pastries for the time being.
Aunt Xi sighed and said, "Red Bean, don't worry, our family can't marry you to a lazy man just to let you get married." She pondered that Xi Hongdou didn't pay attention to the stove because she knew about Zhao Tiezhu's marriage.
Xi Hongdou actually didn't feel at ease about Zhao Tiezhu's proposal at all, she really didn't want to get married so early!
Aunt Xi thought about it and said, "Why don't my mother go and find you a marriage, for your marriage, my mother doesn't want this old face." "Now the Han family can't wait, it's really not okay for her to mention it as the woman's mother's family, and she can't really let her daughter's marriage be delayed like this!
"No, I'm fine like this!" Xi Hongdou said, to be honest, she felt that her attribute of "Kefu" really helped her, so that no one dared to propose marriage, and she didn't have to think about marrying at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and then becoming a mother at the age of fifteen or sixteen!
Aunt Xi saw that her daughter was so resistant to the matter of kissing, thinking that the Zhang family really hurt her daughter!
Because the kitchen was burned, the pastries could not be made, and Xi Hongdou did not go to the county seat when he rushed to the market the next morning.
Xiao Zhi waited left and right at home, and seeing that it was almost noon, he couldn't wait, so he went out directly and went to the market a few streets.
turned around three times from beginning to end, but I didn't see Xi Hongdou, and finally only found Wu Daguan.
"Why didn't the Xi red bean who delivered the pastry deliver it today?" Xiao Zhi asked.
Chief Steward Wu hurriedly replied: "She, I just saw her family, and said that the kitchen was burned, and the pastries were not made this time!" ”
"Didn't you come to the market if you didn't make it?" Xiao Zhi frowned, and when he saw the surprised gaze of Chief Steward Wu, he said, "If you don't come, you won't come, and you don't need to buy other pastries." ”
"Yes." Chief Steward Wu responded, and said: "The pastries made by this red bean girl are indeed a must, and there is no second one in such a big Yunzhou City." He was actually quite happy in his heart, he also knew that other pastries were not as good as Xi Hongdou's, and he was afraid that he would be counted down if he bought it back, so he felt that Xiao Zhi liked Xi Hongdou's making, and others couldn't look at it.
Xiao Zhi sighed, the handkerchief in his hand was still put away, and this time he couldn't return it.
Xi Hongdou went to the county seat the next day, and now she has handed over the method of making pastries to her two sisters-in-law, and the two of them are now almost practicable, and they can make a little more after that. However, the basins were not enough, so she thought about coming to the county seat to order two more square basins.
When he arrived at the Han family's grocery store, as soon as Xi Hongdou entered the door, he saw Han Yushu there, and asked, "Boss, I still want two square basins last time." ”
Han Yushu turned his head, and when he saw that it was Xi Hongdou, his face was embarrassed all of a sudden, and then he said, "Yes, if there are two, you can still get them tomorrow." ”
Xi Hongdou nodded, and then said, "Okay, then I'll come back tomorrow." After speaking, he remembered that this person knew Sister-in-law Xi, so he asked, "I want to ask for a net, do you have it too?" "The nets made by myself are not very strong, and when fishing for crabs, the lines are either off or broken, so it is more convenient to get a stronger net.
"There are some of them, but how big are they?" Han Yushu asked.
Xi Hongdou said the size, and the size of the mesh was also explained, and then asked: "How long does it take for this to come out?" ”
"I guess it's about the same in one day." Han Yushu said.
Xi Hongdou nodded, paid the fixed amount and left first.
Han Yushu was relieved to see Xi Hongdou leave like this, he actually wanted to propose marriage, and he also wrote back to his hometown before, but after his father and mother came, he also inquired about Xi Hongdou's house, and this inquiry was broken. The second one who quit the marriage after a month of marriage also died, and now his father and mother feel that Xi Hongdou is indeed Kefu's life, and he said that he would not agree to propose marriage.
When Xi Hongdou returned home, Xi's sister-in-law asked, "Did you see the little boss of the Han family's grocery store?" ”
"See." After Xi Hongdou answered, he went to the kitchen to work.
Sister-in-law Xi muttered in her heart, thinking that Han Yushu might have returned to her hometown, but she hadn't come back yet. But now that he is in the grocery store, it has been nearly a month, why don't you see the Han family come to propose?
The next day, sister-in-law Xi said that she had something to do in the county seat, and Xi Hongdou said as soon as she heard it: "Can that sister-in-law go to the Han family's grocery store and bring back the things I ordered?" As he spoke, he gave the final payment to Sister-in-law Xi, and she didn't go to the county seat for a trip.
Sister-in-law Xi took the money, and then went to the county seat to find Han Yushu and ask what was going on.
Seeing Han Yushu, sister-in-law Xi asked: "Yushu, why didn't you let your family come to propose, my sister said that if she can help you say good things, you have to see your family to propose marriage." The mother-in-law asked twice in three days, and she couldn't sit still.
Han Yushu sighed, and told her about the situation on her side, and Sister-in-law Xi was a bad person in her heart.
"Your father and mother don't agree?" Sister-in-law Xi asked, "Just because Kefu said it?" ”
Han Yushu nodded: "I don't believe that, but the marriage is a big event, and the words of the matchmaker are the orders of the parents, I ...... I can't do it either! ”
Sister-in-law Xi was speechless: "Yushu, what do you think?" Actually, I think if you insist, maybe your father and mother will be able to relax. ”
"I want to persuade first, the death of the Zhang family's son is also on the cusp, and my father and mother have to believe those rumors, and I will mention it again in a few days, and I will definitely be able to relax." Han Yushu said.
Sister-in-law Xi is also helpless, she has reached this point, and she is not afraid of anything if she waits. But he still said: "Then you can talk to her more next time Hongdou comes, my mother-in-law is also anxious, but in the end, it is a major marriage matter, and my mother-in-law also depends on whether my sister-in-law is willing or not, if she really likes you, maybe she can always wait for you." ”
Han Yushu nodded, and then sent away Sister-in-law Xi.
Han Yushu actually has a good impression of Xi Hongdou in his heart, and Xi Hongdou is also humble and polite every time he comes to buy something, not to mention the girls in the village, even the daughters of those bosses in the county may not be as gentle as Xi Hongdou. But now my father and mother won't let go, and he is afraid that Xi Hongdou will really give it to others, so he wants to have more contact with Xi Hongdou next time.
When he rushed to the market again, Xi Hongdou went to Xiao's house to deliver pastries again, and as soon as Xiao Liuzi saw Xi Hongdou, he hurriedly said: "You are here, my young master can't eat the pastries you made, and I have no energy these days!" ”
"Huh? Does this pastry make such a big difference? Xi Hongdou smiled, wondering how much Xiao Zhi likes to eat, is he depressed if he can't eat it?
Xiao Liuzi also shook his head in confusion, and then hurriedly took someone to the kitchen, and after passing the scale, he first loaded a plate and sent it to Xiao Zhi's room.
Xiao Zhi was bored, and as soon as the maid came in with the pastries, she hurriedly asked, "Is the little girl who delivered the pastries here?" ”
The maid looked dazed and shook her head, Xiao Zhi didn't ask much, and ran out directly.
When Xiao Zhi ran to the kitchen, he found that the person had left, so he hurriedly ran to the back door again.
Xiao Liuzi happened to close the door, and when he saw Xiao Zhi coming, he asked, "Young Master is eating pastries?" This is......? ”
"What about the girl?" Xiao Zhi asked.
"What girl?" Xiao Liuzi was stunned for a moment, and randomly remembered: "Are you talking about the red bean girl?" Gone, just gone! ”
When Xiao Zhi heard this, he hurriedly pushed the door and chased him out, and after running two steps, he saw Xi Hongdou at the corner of the street.
"Wait a minute." Xiao Zhi shouted, Xi Hongdou stopped and looked back to see that it was Xiao Zhi, and asked, "Is there something wrong with Young Master Xiao?" ”
Xi Hongdou watched Xiao Zhi run over, waiting for Xiao Zhi to speak.
Xiao Zhi took out the handkerchief this time and said, "Thank you last time, the handkerchief will be returned to you." ”
Xi Hongdou looked at the handkerchief, then reached out to take it, smiled and said, "You're welcome." "Now the sales of her steamed cake are basically provided by the Xiao family, the customer is God, and she should also maintain the customer.
Xiao Zhi smiled at Xi Hongdou, and said, "You come every time you catch the market?" ”
"Yes, come on." Xi Hongdou responded.
Xiao Zhi nodded, then waved his hand, Xi Hongdou also nodded, and the two of them went their separate ways.
When I returned home in the evening, the Xi family gathered around the table to discuss things before dinner, and now the crab breeding needs to expand the territory, but the bamboo fence is not enough.
"Or just get it from the grocery store and hire someone to help fence it out." Xi Lin said: "If you calculate it, the amount of money that should be invested is not large. ”
Daddy Xi nodded, this matter is not difficult, now the crab seedlings are being purchased, just wait for the fence wall to be fenced, and release the original five acres of land.
The purchase fell on Xi Lin's head, but Xi's second sister-in-law suddenly remembered something, and said: "If I buy bamboo strips, I think of a family, a neighbor of my mother's uncle is in the timber business, and their family seems to have a son of marriageable age!" ”
When Xi Lin heard this, he smiled: "I'm afraid you're too late, my sister-in-law is waiting for the step of proposing, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up with the matchmaking now!" ”
Second sister-in-law Xi was speechless: "It's also inaccurate, sister-in-law is estimated to have some stubble, and I haven't seen anyone come to propose marriage for so many days, I definitely have time!" ”
Xi Lin thought about it, and said: "Then take a good look, if you have a bad character, you will definitely not be able to do it, if you marry the wrong person, see how your mother cleans you up!" ”
Of course, Xi's second sister-in-law understands that the family spoils her sister-in-law, Xi Hongdou is not bad to her second sister-in-law, and she has no reason to cheat others, so she naturally has to take a good look at each other, and she can't pass this hurdle if she is bad!
"Now is the chance, I'll go with you tomorrow!" Xi's second sister-in-law smiled, Xi's sister-in-law was very lively before, but now she hasn't proposed marriage, she hasn't done it yet, and it's really impossible to say whose ten acres of paddy field it is!
