Chapter 213: Don't let go

Back at Erniu's house, Li Chenfeng pondered how to tell Erniu's parents about it, and then noticed that the open bag of candy on the table in the hall had been eaten a lot.

He thought to himself, since they are willing to eat other people's candy, this matter should not be difficult.

At this time, Erniu's father was sitting on the stone steps at the door smoking a hookah, his mother was sewing up the clothes that Erniu had torn during the day by fighting with others, Erniu was carrying a bucket of water and bathing by the thatched house behind the house, Li Chenfeng intentionally or unintentionally walked to the stone steps and sat down and looked at the sky.

"The air in this countryside is so good, the stars in the sky are shining, unlike our place, which is heavily polluted and foggy everywhere, and you can't see anything when you look up at night."

Erniu's father took a big puff of hookah and exhaled slowly.

"Yes, yes, we are here, although we are a little poor, but the environment is still very good."

Li Chenfeng continued: "Your second cow will grow into an adult in a few years, and you are going to be ready to please your mother-in-law." ”

Erniu's father laughed. "This leather baby, usually rubbing it, I don't dare to put a fart when I see a girl, I'm afraid this thing is a little difficult."

Li Chenfeng knows that although the school has been built in this village, its thinking is still much more backward than the outside society, and there is rarely free love between men and women here, and most of them still start a marriage by arranging a blind date arranged by their parents.

So he said: "Erniu young people are thin-skinned, you parents should help a little, I think this doll is honest and diligent, it is very simple to find a mother-in-law." ”

Obviously, Li Chenfeng meant to let Erniu's parents help him arrange a blind date, but Erniu's father let out a long sigh after hearing this, and said, "Boss Li, you have also seen that in our family's situation, that girl is willing to marry." ”

It turns out that the marriage here in Huangshu Village pays great attention to the dowry, and usually people have to give the woman's family more than 100,000 yuan to marry a daughter-in-law, but it is not easy for this farmer to save enough money.

Many families like to raise a son and a daughter, and then use the dowry received by the daughter to marry the son and daughter-in-law, so as to reduce a lot of burden on the family.

These were all after Li Chenfeng chatted for a while before listening to what Erniu's father said, after listening to this, Li Chenfeng didn't think much about it, and said casually: "So you should have given Erniu a sister back then, and when you marry your sister, Erniu's marriage money will be available." ”

As soon as this sentence was said, Erniu's father's face suddenly changed, and the hookah was put aside, and he didn't say anything.

Li Chenfeng didn't know how to offend him, thinking if it was rude to talk to a couple of tens of years old about having a child? Or did you accidentally offend their local customs?

In short, the scene became a little awkward. Li Chenfeng's small talk just now was to make a foreshadowing, and then invite them to attend Teacher Sun's wedding, after all, it seemed a little too abrupt to say this matter directly, but who knew that it would be even more difficult to speak after this chat.

Li Chenfeng thought to himself, why don't you talk about inviting them to Teacher Sun's wedding, otherwise they will completely make the old couple angry, and they may drive themselves out of here.

But in this way, I am so sorry for Mr. Sun, after all, marriage is a lifelong event, and it is not good to leave regrets after all.

After thinking about it, Li Chenfeng still decided to speak.

His words were sincere and tactful, but Erniu's father did not agree or refuse, but just stood up and walked into the house.

"Boss Li, it's a little late, go to bed early."

Li Chenfeng looked at his attitude, thinking that this matter was probably out of play, and he felt a little regretful when he recalled what he said nonsense just now. Why do you want to talk about letting them give birth to a sister to Erniu?

But after thinking about it carefully, he said such a sentence that should not be said, is Erniu's father so angry? Because of some curiosity in his heart, he called Erniu, who had just finished bathing, to his room and asked about it.

Listening to what Er Niu said, Li Chenfeng realized that what he said just now was indeed stepping on a landmine.

It turns out that Erniu is not an only child, he also has a sister who married three years ago, and their family also received a dowry of more than 100,000 yuan.

But unfortunately, Erniu's sister died suddenly less than three days after the wedding, and she didn't have time to get the marriage certificate with the man.

In this way, red things become white things, and no one can stand it. In addition, the man's family is relatively wealthy, and he believes in Feng Shui metaphysics, and he thinks that this daughter-in-law who died less than three days ago will bring them bad luck, so he was very angry afterwards.

not only sent Sister Erniu's body back to her parents' house directly, but also asked for all the bride price of more than 100,000 yuan.

This incident hit Erniu's family very hard, and Li Chenfeng realized that what he said just now was indeed too inappropriate.

The next day, the wedding of Mr. Sun and Mr. Zhao was held as scheduled, and all the rest of the village except for Erniu's family participated in the wedding.

Everyone was very enthusiastic and enthusiastic, the women helped to cook the dishes and set up the flowing water table, the old men were in charge of shouting and playing drums and playing suona and other musical instruments, and the children ran around in the crowd to coax the candy, this scene was indeed more festive than many weddings in the city.

Erniu's parents went to the ground early in the morning, and Erniu was still at home when Li Chenfeng got up, originally wanted to take him to the wedding scene, and Li Chenfeng could see that Erniu also wanted to go.

But in the end, he still said helplessly: "My father won't let me go, if I don't obey, he will beat me when I come back." ”

Later, Li Chenfeng heard a fellow villager say at the banquet that Erniu's family was not aimed at Teacher Sun, and they had not participated in more than a dozen weddings in the village in the past few years.

Li Chenfeng thought to himself, maybe it was their daughter's affair that left some psychological shadows that caused them to refuse to participate in other people's weddings, and he couldn't help but sigh sadly when he thought of this.

But I thought that it would not be good to mention this kind of thing when I was old on the happy day of Mr. Sun, so I left it behind and went to drink and have fun with my fellow villagers.

The local wedding has the custom of the bride sitting in a sedan chair, but does not worship heaven and earth, at noon, the bride and the groom toast to the villagers one by one, and then sit in the sedan chair in the afternoon, carried around the village by several young people, during which firecrackers should be set off, gongs, drums and suona play music for it, after the excitement, the bride was sent into the cave room, no longer see guests, and dinner is also solved alone in the room.

The bridegroom, on the other hand, was always outside with the guests until the dinner was over, when the wine was almost drunk and the villagers had dispersed one after another, before he could enter the cave room.

At the time of the dinner, sitting with Li Chenfeng were several young people in their twenties in the village, all of them were dark-skinned, sturdy, and bold and open-minded, chatting about some interesting things in the village while drinking wine, although Li Chenfeng could not understand some dialects, but he also tried his best to fight with them.

The person closest to Li Chenfeng was Teacher Yang Qian, she was a college classmate of Teacher Sun and Teacher Zhao, and the relationship between the three of them was very good on weekdays, and Teacher Yang also helped a lot at this wedding.

At this time, Li Chenfeng saw her half-lying on the table, staring at the wine glass in her hand in a daze, and did not speak.

Li Chenfeng thought that she was unwell because she had drunk too much wine, so he asked if he needed to send her back to rest.

Teacher Yang ignored Li Chenfeng, put down the wine glass, stood up from the banquet, and walked away.

Li Chenfeng suddenly had a feeling of having a hot face and a cold butt against others, but thinking about it, Mr. Yang seems to have always been more introverted and unwilling to talk with others, and he hasn't heard him say a few words since he came here for two days.
