Chapter 35: Door-to-door proposal
Although Guo Yueluo also lives in the county seat, her parents are usually very busy and have no time to take her out to play, so in fact, she is not familiar with the county seat as Wang Chong.
When he came to the county seat, Wang Chong came to the old place, which was very prosperous and had a lot of people.
"Xiaoyu is here, I know that you are here today and have left a place for you." Uncle Ge, who sells pancakes, said with a smile.
"Thank you, Uncle Ge, this is the hard-boiled egg for you." Wang handed over a hard-boiled egg.
Aunt Qiao, who was selling fish on the side, said: "Xiaoyu, I came early enough today." ”
Wang Chong also brought her a hard-boiled egg and replied: "There are a lot of things today, I may have to sell them for a while, so come over early." Uncle Sun, come, eat eggs. ”
After a short period of effort, Wang Zhong divided out more than a dozen eggs.
He can have such a good position to set up a stall now, and he is familiar with these adults, otherwise who knows you a good position?
I sold chickens and eggs all morning, but unfortunately business was not very good today, and only a third of them were sold.
At noon, Wang Chong and Guo Yueluo each had a big cake, and after eating, Wang Chong closed the stall and pushed the cart away.
"Brother Xiaoyu, why don't you sell it?" Guo Yueluo said curiously.
"I definitely won't be able to sell it today, so I'll sell it to an old acquaintance."
The two pushed the cart to the two inns one after another, and as soon as they passed, the back kitchen of these places came out.
Wang Zhong greeted them one by one, and in the end, these people carefully selected and sold out all the things at a cheaper price.
"Brother Xiaoyu, since these places can collect your things in large quantities, why do you still set up stalls for so long?" Guo Yueluo said curiously.
"It's not for you to follow, I'll take you to play." Wang Chong said calmly.
Guo Yueluo was stunned for a moment, and then whispered: "Oh, that's it." ”
"Let's go, let's go see the lanterns."
Wang Zhong temporarily put the car at the door of a familiar inn and pulled Guo Yueluo towards the river.
However, when passing by a pork shop, Guo Yueluo hurriedly pulled Wang Zhong and said, "Brother Xiaoyu, let's go another way." ”
"What's wrong?"
"That's my house." Guo Yueluo pointed to the pork shop.
Wang Chong raised his eyebrows, he remembered that this pork shop was the largest one in the county, but he didn't expect it to be Guo Yueluo's family.
Wang Chong didn't say anything, pulled Guo Yueluo around the road, and the two came to the small river on the edge of the county, which was crowded with people, and many people put lanterns in the river, all colorful.
In the small pavilion on the side, there are still many literati and ink writers chanting poems.
It's a pity that Wang Chong doesn't like this kind of crepe stuff very much, otherwise he could come to the stage as a copyist at this time.
This time, the two played late.
On the way back, it was already a little dark, and the two were walking on the road, Guo Yueluo suddenly covered her stomach and looked at the woods on both sides of the dirt road in the countryside: "Brother Xiaoyu, I want to pee." ”
"Then you go to pee, don't you pee during the day?" Wang Zhong frowned.
"But now it's dark."
"Okay then, I'll go with you."
"But you're a boy."
"I haven't seen anything when you were a child, so I'll wipe it for you."
Wang Zhong accompanied Guo Yueluo to the side of the woods, Guo Yueluo could only squat down, probably because she was afraid, that is, in a few seconds, she quickly put on her pants and ran out: "It's scary inside." ”
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Hearing Wang Chong's calm voice, Guo Yueluo said: "Brother Xiaoyu, you don't seem to be afraid of anything, since I was a child, I thought you could do anything." ”
"Yes."
"Well, by the way, Brother Xiaoyu, what is the relationship between that Yalan of your family and you?"
"Why do you ask this?"
"Curious."
Wang Chong smiled faintly: "The moon falls, in a few years, you will get married, who do you want to marry?" ”
Wang Ren's guy looked at the moonset, in addition to the beautiful moonset, there must be instructions from his 'good' uncle, whether it was out of selfishness or something else, Guo Yueluo was posthumously determined.
"Ahh
Guo Yueluo didn't expect Wang Chong to ask this, and he didn't know what to do all of a sudden.
Wang Chong didn't think that a child would answer, and said with a smile: "Lady, let's go, let's go home." ”
The ghost sent the gods, Guo Yueluo nodded slightly and followed.
…………
Spring goes to autumn, and three years have passed in a blink of an eye.
In the past three years, Wang Zhong has saved a sum of money by raising chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep.
Originally, he planned to go to the county seat with this money, find a shop to rent at a certain time, and then open a tavern, so that it will get bigger and bigger, and he believes that it will not take a few years to double their income.
But the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, just a month ago, at the suggestion of Wang Dahu, a matchmaker went to Aunt Sun to talk about family affairs.
This is called probing the wind and seeing what Aunt Sun's family thinks of Wang Ren's child.
Aunt Sun knew that things were big and where she dared to call the shots, so she said that she would go back and talk to his daughter and son-in-law and ask them for their opinions.
Then, just seven days ago, he saw Wang Ren and Wang Dahu, the father and son, began to prepare a lot of dowry gifts, preparing to go to Guo's house for dowry.
In the ancients, women were generally fourteen or fifteen years old, and almost someone came to the door to talk about family affairs, even in modern times, some country women also got married very early.
After knowing the news, Wang Chong immediately determined that in private, I was afraid that Wang Dahu and the Guo family would talk about the marriage almost over, and if he didn't take action, he might really be married off!
So he immediately put down his farm work and rushed back to the house.
"Mother, I'm going to go to Guo's house to give a dowry, I want to marry Guo Yueluo and go home!"
Zhang Xiaohong was boiling braised fish, and when she heard this, she hurriedly walked over: "Son, it's so decent, you ......"
"Mother, Wang Dahu led his son Wang Ren to the dowry, you grew up watching the moon set, she is your daughter-in-law, are you happy." Wang Zhong said decisively.
"Willing is willing, but last year, I also mentioned these things to Aunt Sun, when I talked about the two of you before, she smiled and said yes, and said that she liked you, but last year, she didn't mention it, saying that she couldn't be the master, and it still depends on Guo Yueluo's parents."
Wang Zhong understood that this was Guo Yueluo's parents' dislike that his family was not as good as Wang Dahu's family.
Wang Dahu's family has dozens of acres of farmland, and the family has only one son, Wang Ren.
On the other hand, Wang Chong, his father is long gone, and there is only one mother and one Yalan at home, even if there are so many chickens, ducks and geese, the most critical silver is still not as much as Wang Dahu's family.
As a parent, it is natural to choose Wang Dahu's family.
"Little fish." At this time, Yalan walked out of her room, gritted her teeth, and said a little nervously: "Actually, in fact, I can see that she likes you when the moon sets, and you try to propose, she ...... What if she chooses you...... I...... I'm going to prepare the grass first, and I'm going to feed the sheep later......"
After saying that, Yalan turned his head, flashed tears, and walked out.
"This kid has you in his heart."
Zhang Xiaohong sighed: "Our family is now about two hundred taels of silver, anyway, no matter what you do, I will support you, but in the future, you must not let Yalan down." ”
"Got it, mother!" After saying that, Wang Chong immediately returned to his house and changed into his best clothes.
