Mrs. Ming patted her granddaughter who was excited, "Grandma wants to ask your grandfather, and then I have to talk to your uncle and aunt." ”

Mingyue nodded again and again, "Don't forget to ask my second brother as well, after all, he is the one who marries his daughter-in-law." ”

Mrs. Ming smiled with a wrinkled face, "What else do you have to worry about your grandmother's errands?" ”

Mingyuexin said, I don't worry about you doing things, and I don't know who it is, so I directly set her up for marriage, and I didn't even ask her.

Although most of this matter is the pot of the original owner, this does not prevent Mingyue from complaining about the "arbitrariness" of Mrs. Ming and others.

On the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, the Ming family invited a butcher to kill the New Year's pig, in addition to inviting relatives and friends to eat, the Ming family also left a whole half of the pork for their own use.

"This year, let's send a few more catties of meat to the two girls, especially the lotus family, it's not good to live in the town, and everything you buy is an expense." Mrs. Ming greeted Mr. Ming before Butcher Zhang came to the door.

Old Man Ming also felt sorry for the two daughters, and he agreed without saying a word, "Let's send ten catties to the family, and pick the good ones to give." Minghe gave two more rabbits, and Mingju pulled two bags of sorghum. ”

"Done." Mrs. Ming nodded while tying her apron, and then began to pick out dried cabbage to be used later with her three daughters-in-law.

"When the second year of junior high school goes to my mother's house, you guys will also take a few more catties of meat. and clearly allowed his father-in-law's family to send a few more catties of meat later. "Mrs. Ming has always been impartial in governing the family, and if she gives it to her daughter, of course, she can't leave her daughter-in-law and future granddaughter-in-law behind.

Xie was overjoyed, and Tao and Zhou were also smiling.

After a while, Mrs. Huang brought her daughter-in-law and granddaughter to Ming's house.

Their family is like this every time, no matter why the Ming family invites them to eat, they will come over as early as possible to help with things every time, and there is no time when they sit and wait for the feast with their meals.

"His aunt, quick, come in and sit." Mrs. Ming glanced at Mrs. Huang at a glance, and immediately threw down the dried cabbage in her hand to help Mrs. Huang lift the curtain.

Mrs. Huang smiled and grabbed Mrs. Ming's left arm, "What are you polite to me?" Let's get back to work. ”

Huang Xiaoying and her mother Yu also greeted the rest of the Ming family with a smile, and everyone laughed for a while, and the Huang family naturally joined the work team.

"Xiaoying go to the East Wing to find Mingyue to play, I don't need you here." After picking the dried cabbage, Mrs. Ming smiled and sent Mingyue and Huang Xiaoying away.

Mingyue knew that Mrs. Ming was going to have a private chat with the Huang family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, so she took Huang Xiaoying and Xiao Mingxue to the east wing very brightly.

"I don't think your milk is mysterious today." Although Huang Xiaoying didn't have any scheming, her intuition was quite keen, she was dragged by Mingyue, and she didn't forget to look back at Mrs. Ming and Mrs. Huang, who were muttering something next to her head.

"Is there one?" Mingyue pretended to be ignorant, "I didn't pay attention." ”

Huang Xiaoying didn't bother much, she followed Mingyue and Mingxue into the east wing, and the three of them carefully avoided the wooden shelves on the ground, then took off their shoes and went to the kang, and began to chat around the kang table.

Huang Xiaoying swallowed melon seeds while talking, "It's still good for your family, the snacks have not been broken all year round, what is like my family, whatever I want to eat, my milk has to open a small stove for me." ”

Mingyue teased her, "Then you will marry into my family in the future, I guarantee that you will have good things to eat every day." ”

Huang Xiaoying's face turned red instantly, "What are you talking nonsense about!" ”

"I'm not talking nonsense, my grandmother and my aunt both like you, you must be a hundred times better than going to someone else's house, and the most important thing is that we don't have to separate."

Mingyue's last sentence touched Huang Xiaoying, she was a little girl who had not yet opened her love, and what she was worried about was food and friends.

She asked Mingyue with a wrinkled face, "Then, won't your family dislike my family for being poor?" When I get married in the future, my grandmother will definitely not have a lot of dowry to accompany me. ”

Huang Xiaoying has two brothers and a younger brother, and in recent years, they have to marry wives and have children, give dowry gifts, build houses, and set up banquets, all of which require money. With the Huang family's family background, Huang Dashan can already be regarded as a good father if he can do it without selling his daughter, and it is impossible to accompany Huang Xiaoying with a lot of money.

Huang Xiaoying herself never thought about fighting with her brothers and brothers, in her own words, she couldn't enjoy the love of the whole family before she got married, and she had to knock a lot of money from the family after she got married.

Her grandmother, her father, her brother and sister-in-law, and her brother and sister-in-law will also have to live in the future, and she can't just take care of herself.

“... Look at our village, the better family will send two cages, two quilts, and two sets of new clothes, and almost even on the day of marriage, they can only wear the old clothes from before. And they do all the dirty work at home, unlike our family, but if they are dirty and tired, my father and my brother will do it all. ”

Mingyue patted her, "There are no people in my family whose eyes are on other people's silver, my grandmother chooses daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law, all you look at is family style and character, you look at my eldest uncle, isn't their Xie family poorer than your Huang family?" ”

Huang Xiaoying thought that this was really the case, the Xie family was almost poor back then, and the Ming family didn't let Uncle Ming marry the uncle of the Ming family.

***

In February of the following year, Da Lang, Erlang, San Lang, and Jiayan passed the county examination, and the Ming family set up a family affair for Erlang and Huang Xiaoying, and those who wanted to marry their daughters into the Ming family but were rejected couldn't help but sigh.

Those who have ten or more daughters have shifted their attention to the three little beans of San Lang, Shiro, and Goro, and the aunts and aunts who came to be matchmakers made the Ming family look like a market.

What bothered the Ming family more than them were the strange people who wanted to directly move Mingyue's cash cow back to their homes, and the matchmakers they entrusted to be a matchmaker for Mingyue made the Ming family anxious.

Because of this, Yu Jiayan was a little depressed for several days, and Mingyue was even more annoyed that she couldn't just throw those matchmakers out of the house.

In the end, it was Mrs. Ming who stuffed the money matchmaker with the best reputation in the town with broken silver, and asked her to help promote the Ming family, "Several male babies are still young, and they will not say that they are married in three or two years, and the female babies who have already married will not regret marrying and agreeing to another family", and the Ming family was cleaned up again.

"Sister Mingyue, I will definitely be admitted to Xiucai, and I will take the exam in the future, so that others will not dare to underestimate me." Yu Jiayan, who has been calling her sister regardless of Mingyue for a long time, made up her mind to strengthen her strength in the early morning of the third day after the Ming family was restored to purity.

Mingyue patted him on the shoulder, "Well, let's take the test, I'm optimistic about you." ”

Yu Jiayan's eyes, which had been silent for many days, once again filled with a little joy, "I won't drag you down all the time, when I practice my handwriting, I can copy books and earn money by myself." ”

Mingyue didn't complain about him, "How much money can you make by copying books?" She corrected Yu Jiayan with a slight smile, "You didn't drag me down, you are much more capable than me." Every penny we make is a credit to you. ”
