Jiang Xiaotuan was really grateful to herself for the few pennies and tea money in exchange for such important news, and that night, she had a long talk with the Li family, and the meaning was very clear, no matter what the Wang family thought, she would definitely not get married.

It's not the first time that Li has heard Jiang Xiaotuan say this, and he wasn't too surprised, "If you don't marry, don't marry, your father is gone, and your mother is incapable, it will only drag you down, without your mother's family to rely on, you are afraid that you will be bullied if you marry into the Wang family." ”

Li means that if she marries into the Wang family, she is high-climbing, Jiang Xiaotuan does not blame her for seeing herself clearly, in this ancient world, where everything is inferior and only high in reading, it is not for nothing that she is called a talented master, and it can be regarded as a scholarly family.

The Li family was originally an honest person, if Jiang Xiaotuan said his true thoughts, he was afraid of scaring her, "Mother, in short, no matter whether the Wang family regrets it in the future, you just don't let go." ”

"Mother, I remember." Li is now basically obedient to Jiang Xiaotuan's words, after all, she is used to letting others decide things, marrying and obeying her husband, and her husband following her son, and if she has no son, she will naturally listen to her eldest daughter.

Jiang Xiaotuan believed that Li would not regret what he said, and slept steadily, and was about to build the courtyard wall, she didn't plan to go to the town to sell braised meat for the time being, but I don't know if Mrs. County Ling will be in a hurry to send her a signboard.

Repairing the house and building the courtyard wall are all manual work, although Jiang Xiaotuan plans to pay the wages, but he still wants them to eat some meat, after all, these people's original intention is to help in vain.

Favors are precious.

After breakfast, Jiang Xiaotuan planned to marinate a pot of meat, although it was not yet cooked, but after the soup in the pot boiled, the fragrance wafted everywhere, and people drooled.

Wang Xingwen was very suspicious, and he was cautious, and he didn't even tell his daughter-in-law, so he secretly came over alone to inquire about the situation.

He hadn't been in Hongxia Village for more than ten years, even if he had come often before, but now few people still recognize him, so he casually found someone on the street and asked where the Jiang family's second room lived, and Wang Xingwen came straight to him.

Covering the lid of the pot is full of meat, let alone opening the lid, Jiang Xiaotuan turned the meat over, then covered the wooden pot lid and continued to marinate over low heat.

Sitting by the stove and being roasted by the fire was a little hot, she simply opened the kitchen door, so there was a slight movement outside the door, and Jiang Xiaotuan could hear it clearly.

Li and Xiao Yu'er are both in the house, and the people outside are not Yang Hai, Yang Hai is very noisy when he comes, and he will shout two voices outside the door first, which means to tell people that he has come to the widow and woman's house, after all, there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow and woman's door, if you don't let people know, in case anyone gossips, he can't explain clearly.

If it weren't for Yang Hai, Jiang Xiaotuan would be a little curious, she walked outside the house with a burning stick and made no sound, the walls of her house were very low, and most of them had fallen, so Wang Xingwen was lying at the door and looking inside, in fact, there was something to add to the painting.

Jiang Xiaotuan saw a fresh face, so he was a little vigilant, and his voice was cold, "Who are you looking for?" ”

Wang Xingwen was staring at the green bricks in the yard, and even roughly counted, it seems that the boss did not lie to him, there must be thousands of so many green bricks, and he didn't want to count too much, and he didn't find it when he was seen.

Wang Xingwen looked at the girl who was glaring at him, a little embarrassed, but he soon showed a kind smile and took the initiative to ask, "You are the little girl, right?" ”

Jiang Xiaotuan nodded, "Yes, what about you?" Who the hell is it?"

is obviously an eight or nine-year-old girl, but the momentum is more than that of this adult man, and when she looks at her big eyes, Wang Xingwen, who has an impure purpose, is still a little weak-hearted, and when he sees those green bricks again, he must have made up his mind that this marriage cannot be canceled.

"I'm your father's friend, what about your mother?"

Although Wang Xingwen didn't say it directly, Jiang Xiaotuan was not stupid, and basically concluded who he was, "My father is gone, my mother's body is inconvenient, just tell me if you have anything, it's the same." ”

Wang Xingwen sighed secretly, what a powerful girl, but it's normal, not spicy, how can she support this family and make money?

In this way, he appreciated Jiang Xiaotuan a little more, "I know that your father is gone, I didn't go out a few days ago, I wasn't at home, and when I came back, I heard about it, so I rushed over, but unfortunately it was still late." ”

Wang Xingwen sighed repeatedly, making a very regretful look, "I am close to your father like brothers, and even made a marriage between you and my family back then...... Why did the Shixian brothers leave? ”

When Wang Xingwen said that he was excited, he wiped his eyes with his sleeve, and he didn't know whether he was wiping his tears or rubbing his eyes vigorously, making him look like he had cried.

For this kind of hypocrite, Jiang Xiaotuan was disdainful in his heart, but he didn't want to tell the truth, so he tried his best to maintain the surface politeness, "So, who are you?" My father and my mother never told me that I was married. ”

Wang Xingwen looked at Jiang Xiaotuan suspiciously, "Didn't you say it?" It shouldn't be! It was your father who offered to bring it up. ”

And a few days ago, the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family's big house went to his house, because he didn't want to waste his lips and tongue with a woman, he asked his daughter-in-law to send people away, did the Jiang family's second room really not know the Tao?

"But it doesn't matter, it's not too late to know now, although your father is gone, but since we had an agreement back then, I can't help but keep my promise, I came today, first, to visit your mother and daughter, and second, to discuss this matter with your mother."

Wang Xingwen didn't know what Jiang Xiaotuan was eating in the kitchen, but he felt that it was fragrant, and he had tried his best not to pay attention to it, but the fragrance was pouring into his nose as if he was conscious.

After a long time, Jiang Xiaotuan invited him in, so Wang Xingwen planned to take the initiative, "Is your mother at home?" ”

Jiang Xiaotuan just wanted to say that he was not there, so as to send him away, but Li Shi shouted in the kitchen, "Xiaotuan, is the braised meat in the pot good?" ”

"Yes." Jiang Xiaotuan was always indifferent, "But we orphans and widows, it's inconvenient for you to come in, if there's anything, just say it here!" ”

Wang Xingwen planned to go into the house to warm up, but now he could only nod his head, otherwise he didn't know how to be polite, "You're right, I originally thought so." ”

Jiang Xiaotuan asked Li to come out, but he didn't intend to let her freeze, but let her stand at the door of the kitchen, the room was already hot, and Li's face was flushed.

I haven't seen her for more than ten years, Wang Xingwen thought that the Li family would be very vicissitudes, when she was in the Jiang family, she was dry and thin, and after so many years, the man is gone, and she has to grow old, but where did she think that the Li family, who is wearing a plain dress, has a ruddy complexion and is much plumper, but it is more durable than ten years ago.

"Brother and sister, do you still recognize me?" Wang Xingwen was the first to speak, and then sighed repeatedly, with the red circles under his eyes that he had just kneaded, he looked very sad, "I'm late." ”

"It's you." She had just heard the words of the two of them clearly in the kitchen, and originally thought that it was too rude to ask the guests to stand in the courtyard and talk, but the little group girl was right, now there is no man in their house, and it is not suitable to call people into the house.

Wang Xing's document Li didn't mean to call himself into the house, and continued to shiver in the cold wind, "Brother and sister, I just told Xiaotuan girl, I came today to see you, and secondly, to discuss with you the marriage of the next two families!" ”

Li Shi glanced at Jiang Xiaotuan and smiled at her, "Brother Wang, I also heard it when I just came out, I am really grateful that you came to see our orphans and widows, if it weren't for the inconvenience, I really want to ask you to come and sit, and I hope you will forgive me." ”

Li's words are decent, so that Wang Xingwen can't make mistakes, she can say this, it is also unexpected by Jiang Xiaotuan, it seems that the old lady is not a bun, but needs to give her time and opportunity to grow.

"It's okay, the little girl is thoughtful, I'm just standing." Another gust of cold wind blew, and Wang Xingwen couldn't help but shiver.

"It's good that you're not angry, but you say that our two families are married? What's the marriage? ”

"Didn't Shixian tell you?" Wang Xingwen stared at Li for a long time.

Li shook his head calmly, "Brother Wang, I really haven't heard of this. ”

Wang Xingwen was cheeky and took a few breaths, "Then it's not too late to know now, you should know who I am, I won't make something out of nothing, not to mention that I don't need to lie to you, even if I didn't know before, then it's the same as what I told you now, brother and sister, let's settle the marriage today." ”

Li knows that she doesn't have as much as the small group girl, but even she feels that there is a problem, a few days ago, the people in the big house went to talk about this marriage, but their Wang family kept saying that there was no such thing, and after so many days of hard work, but regretted it?

"Brother Wang, I know that you feel sorry for our mother, I am afraid that our mother will not have anyone to take care of it, so I came up with such an idea temporarily, I understand your kindness, but you are a showman, your brother will not be an ordinary person in the future, our family is a small group of girls, and I don't know a few big characters, aren't you wronged by your brother?"

Li shook his head, "Where is this, I can't help it, we remember your kindness." ”

Li's move is to retreat into advance, which really impresses Jiang Xiaotuan, it seems that her weak old lady is really going to rise, praise.

Wang Xingwen never thought that the Li family would refuse, as she said, their daughter was able to marry her son, which is indeed a high climb.

He appeared at this time again, undoubtedly in the snow, and gave him a good reputation, but the Li family refused, "Brother and sister, this is really what I told Brother Shixian!" ”
