Chapter 57: Licheng
The three of them soon came to the door of Zhilan's house from the west end of the village.
Yan Nian saw that the door was closed, and remembered the scene that happened yesterday, and suddenly became nervous again, and shouted loudly: "Is Aunt Zhilan at home?" ”
At this time, I saw the door open, and Zhilan ran out with a smile. While trot to the door, he said, "Look, I was just about to come out to have a look, and you guys are coming!" ”
"Oops! Slow down, auntie! "When Aunt Zhang saw her in-laws, her mother was hot, just like a relative she hadn't seen for many years.
When he came to the gate, Brother Huai bowed to Zhilan very politely, "Hello aunt!" ”
Zhilan couldn't close her mouth like it, "Hey! Good, all good! Come inside! ”
Yan Nian looked at the smile on Aunt Zhilan's face today, put her mind at ease, and hurriedly asked, "Auntie, where is Xiaowei?" ”
While letting a few people into the house, Aunt Zhilan said: "This child, I heard that you are coming, but you are shy, you are in the house." ”
Aunt Zhang hurriedly said: "Girls should be like this, be stable and good, I like such girls." ”
Yan Nian thought, if anyone really has no cure, everything is an advantage.
Brother Huai came to the house with two baskets of dowry gifts, and saw Lu Xiaowei standing tremblingly on the side.
Put the dowry in the middle of the ground, Brother Huai gave a deep salute to Zhilan, and shouted in his mouth: "Aunt Zhilan, Brother Huai has come to give the dowry, I hope to go to your daughter Xiaowei as Brother Huai's wife, I hope that the aunt will be fulfilled!" After speaking, Brother Huai bowed to the ground.
"Oops! Look at this child, please get up quickly, my aunt agrees to give you her daughter Xiaoweixu! With that, Zhilan stepped forward and pulled Brother Huai up, looking at the handsome Brother Huai of her future son-in-law with tears in her eyes.
Brother Huai got up, and Zhilan pulled her daughter Xiaowei to salute Aunt Zhang: "Quick, salute your future mother-in-law." ”
Xiaowei was pulled by her mother to the eyes of Aunt Zhang, bowed her head and shouted shyly: "Hello Aunt Zhang." ”
Aunt Zhang was so happy, she pulled Xiaowei up and down to look at her brother endlessly, her eyes full of love.
Yan Nian saw it in her eyes, and knew in her heart that Xiaowei had found a good mother-in-law.
Thinking of his ruthless mother-in-law, my heart hurt inexplicably.
Zhilan and Xiaowei were busy serving tea and pouring water, and they were busy.
The dowry was also served, Aunt Zhang sat opposite Zhilan, and the two old men discussed when the two children would hold their weddings.
Yan Nian is inconvenient to participate in this matter, and he will not be a matchmaker.
While talking to Brother Xiaowei Huai, he thought that Uncle Ni still had two children at home.
It was almost noon when she came out of Aunt Zhilan's house, Yan Nian hurried to the house and saw that Uncle Ni was just about to call it a day.
"It's just right, Yan Nian, you're back, I'm going home for dinner, and I'll come back in the afternoon." Ni Dashu said.
Yan Nian shook his hand and said, "Uncle Ni, you can eat here at noon today, there is still some food at home." ”
As he was talking, he saw Ni Yirou coming in from the gate, and saw that Yan Nian had just arrived in the courtyard, so he hurriedly asked: "Yan Nian, where have you been, you are wearing such a grand dress, and you have turned out your new skirt." ”
"Ah, Aunt Zhang, I, and Brother Huai are going to give a dowry gift to Aunt Zhilan's family."
Yan Nian said as she looked at Ni Yirou's eyes looking at her.
"Ah, Brother Huai is really engaged to Xiaowei?" Ni Yirou asked Yan Nian in disbelief.
Yan Nian nodded: "Really, it's true, it's decided today, and a happy event will be held after the autumn harvest." ”
Ni Yirou was originally a thirteen-year-old girl, and there was still some childish baby fat on her face, and when she heard that Xiaowei was engaged, she remembered her Prince Charming Fang Mingyu, and suddenly lowered her head with a crimson face.
Yan Nianda Ni Yirou was a few years old, and when she saw her like this, she guessed what this girl was thinking now, and said with a smile: "When are you engaged, I can't wait." ”
In front of his father, hearing Yan Nian ask himself like this, Ni Yirou's face was flushed, and she said coquettishly: "Sister Yan Nian, you are so bad!" After saying that, he ran to the gate, and shouted to his father as he ran, "My mother has called my father to eat." ”
Yan Nian laughed a few times and said to Carpenter Ni, "Look at your daughter's face is still so small. ”
"Hahaha, this daughter can't help when she's older, okay, I'll go back to dinner."
Yan Nian watched the father and daughter walk away, and they also entered the house.
Seeing that Nuo Nuo was holding a piece of paper and drawing something on it, Yan Nian hurriedly stepped forward to take a look.
Seeing that the paper was messy and couldn't see anything drawn by Nuo Nuo with a brush, Yan Nian asked Nuo Nuo: "Xiaobao, look at what you drew this?" ”
"This is a big house, this is a big pavilion, and this is a long, long river." Nonoby explained his masterpiece in a gesture.
Nuo Nuo is small, so he doesn't know what's going on, but Yan Nian has already heard it in his heart.
These things drawn by the child are exactly the same as what they saw in their dreams, so is it not a dream, but a memory of the original owner?
Yan Nian began to have a headache again, Nuo Nuo saw his mother rubbing her temples, frowning and not speaking, she hurriedly got up and pulled her mother to sit on the kang, and then asked like a little adult: "Mother, what's wrong with you?" Is it that Nono is not good at drawing? ”
Yan Nian hurriedly hugged his son and said with a smile: "My son, you paint very well, my mother likes it very much." ”
"My mother also hugs her daughter." At this time, Xiao Yanyan was jealous, and hurriedly ran over, looking at Yan Nian pitifully.
The little milk dog in the back is really protecting her sister, and she is busy wagging her fluffy tail and barking, as if she is begging Yan Nian to hug her little master for Yanyan.
Yan Nian smiled and pulled her daughter over, kissed her little cheek, and said affectionately: "My good daughter, mother hug you, don't be angry." ”
Seeing the smile on his mother's face, Nuno returned to the kang table and began his masterpiece.
After eating, Yan Nian remembered the land he had just cleared, and wanted to take a look, but he was afraid of encountering wild beasts in the mountains again, so he was hesitating, and saw Ni Yirou and Ni Carpenter coming.
Yan Nian hurriedly said hello, and Yi Rou asked Yan Nian, "What do you want?" ”
"I'm going to work on the side of the mountain, how about you?" Yan Nian asked.
Ni Yirou said with a smile: "You go to work, I won't go." ”
Yan Nian ran out of ideas for a while, and Yi Rou said again: "Let's go to the field to dig some wild vegetables, so that you don't have to worry about staying at home." ”
Seeing the two Xiaobao lying quietly on the kang, Yan Nian nodded: "Okay, then I'll go with you." ”
Saying that, Yan Nian got up to find the little shovel, who would have thought that Xiao Yanyan heard that her mother asked to dig wild vegetables, so she got busy: "Mother, I will go with you too." ”
Ni Yirou glared and said, "You are not allowed to go, you are going to feed you the wolf!" ”
Hearing this, Yanyan shivered, and cried: "Mother, I'm afraid." ”
When Nuo Nuo heard that he was going to feed his sister a wolf, he looked at Ni Yirou with burning eyes: "Don't scare my sister!" ”
Yan Nian hurriedly picked up her daughter and said to Nuo Nuo: "Aunt Yirou is teasing you, don't do this, son." ”
Ni Yirou saw that Nuo Nuo was disgusted with herself like this, and said angrily: "You little person, why are you so rude, hum!" After saying that, he got up and walked out. ”
Yan Nian hurriedly got up and grabbed Ni Yirou, and said with a smile: "Look at you, how can you be as knowledgeable as a child." ”
Seeing Yan Nian say this, Ni Yirou glared at Nuo Nuo, "I don't know!" ”
Yan Nian decided to lead the two Xiaobao and Ni Yirou to dig wild vegetables.
