It's just that the corner of the mouth twitched when he thought that Chrysanthemum was going to marry Xiao Hammer, they were very compatible, one only valued his family and not his character, and he liked to steal people behind his wife.

She still went to the embroidery village, and the owner of the house was surnamed Hu and was an old man in his fifties. glanced at the embroidery sample brought by Sister Xiaofu and nodded, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm a little palm here, but I can't live for you like this when we meet for the first time." You also know that the fabrics in this embroidery village are all precious, all of them are used by the ladies and ladies in the courtyard, and we can't afford to pay for any losses. ”

Hearing that she could give herself work, Sister Xiaofu was of course happy, she reached out and took out the silver bracelet and said, "I can bet this thing on this, but the shopkeeper will always give me a certificate." "It's only a very small one, but it's my own dowry!

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "You kid is quite careful." As he was talking, as soon as he looked up and saw a person, he beckoned and said, "Qi Catch quickly, Second Brother Qi, come over for a while." ”

Sister Xiaofu turned around and saw a sturdy man in poor clothes walking in, his thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, full of righteousness, just looking at her and frightened, she immediately lowered her head and didn't dare to look at it again, as if she had just done something wrong.

The shopkeeper Hu said: "This is Qi Catcher who is on an errand in the yamen, and his eldest brother is the head catcher of this county." Then Qi Zhukuai said: "Second Brother Qi, I beg you for something, can you give a guarantee to our store?" ”

Qi Zhu laughed quickly and said, "Don't call me second brother, just call Boren." He glanced at Sister Xiaofu and said, "If this little brother believes in Boren, then I will be the guarantor." ”

People are fast and upright, Sister Xiaofu immediately nodded and said, "Naturally, I believe it." ”

Shopkeeper Hu smiled lightly, and then asked the account room to write a rejection. Sister Xiaofu can't write and pressed the palm print, while Qi Boren and Hu Shopkeeper are

It's signed by his own name.

Na Qi Boren said: "There is nothing else to do, then I will go to patrol the streets." After speaking, he took the waist knife in his hand and went out.

Hu shopkeeper opened ten square handkerchiefs and a curtain embroidery work for her, Sister Xiaofu roughly calculated that if they are all done well, they will save a lot, but this kind of work grinding time is very, if the mother embroiders alone without ten days and half a month. She thought that if she came out to fight rice in the daytime, and then went back to embroider some at night and then went to sleep, it would be very fast.

Just thinking of the dowry, she was full of joy, so she rushed home with her life, just to see if the time came home, she was afraid that the sun would be dark.

Just as he was thinking, he heard someone shouting behind him: "Stop? This sound is a little familiar, as if it is the sound of Qi Hunting for the guarantor of the shopkeeper Hu.

In a daze, he saw a man with angry eyebrows running towards him like crazy, and behind him Qi Catcher was chasing after another unknown catcher.

Is this a fugitive or a thief?

Sister Xiaofu didn't want to be nosy, but the man ran into her. Isn't this a search for death? She ducked to the left and hooked, and the man didn't notice the soles of his feet and fell to the ground.

That Qi Boren came quickly, and he caught up with a kick in a few steps

Trample the man under his feet and say, "Lock." The catcher in the back quickly heard this and ran up, and after a few clicks, he locked the man with the iron lock in the yamen and said, "Dare to make trouble on the territory of Second Brother Qi, you kid is quite bold." ”

Qi Boren let go and said, "Take him back!" Then he smiled at Sister Xiaofu and said, "I didn't think that your palms are not bad, where is the village?" ”

"Qu ...... Meander's. Even when he laughed, he was still very serious, and Sister Xiaofu lowered her head a little shyly in reply. But since he had not eaten for most of the day, his stomach immediately protested and gurgling......

Sister Xiaofu couldn't lift her head anymore, and she was stunned to find a piece of tofu and was killed on the spot.

Qi Boren smiled and said: "If you're hungry, I'll invite you to eat noodles, and thank you for helping us catch the thief just now." As soon as he said that, he pulled her with his big palm, and the two walked into a noodle restaurant.

Sister Xiaofu is indeed hungry, but she always feels that it is not good to go to eat with a strange man, but she can't pull it back when she pumps her palm, and the other party's strength is really big.

Sitting down, Qi Boren ordered two side dishes, a pot of wine and two bowls of noodles, he took a cup and poured wine for Sister Xiaofu, and said: "I can't drink more with you when I am in office today, how about I ask you to have a drink when I am free?" ”

Sister Xiaofu immediately said, "I don't know how to drink." ”

Qi Boren smiled and said, "Just take a sip and drink it with me." As she spoke, she poured the wine in Sister Xiaofu's cup back into her own cup a little, and touched her cup slightly.

Are all men like this who advise alcohol? Sister Xiaofu twitched the corners of her mouth, picked up the half glass of wine, tasted it slightly, and then a wisp of spicy food rushed into her throat, choking on her and coughing violently.

I coughed so badly that tears flowed out. She stretched out her palm fingers and wiped her tears slightly, and said, "It's so spicy......"

Qi Boren was stunned, why did he feel that the kid in front of him wiped his tears was so cute. He coughed lightly and said, "See, you don't know how to drink, so I'll drink it for you." As he spoke, he took the wine glass that Sister Xiaofu had just used and dried the rest of the mouthful.

Sister Xiaofu's whole face was already red, he drank with his own cup, reached out and touched his lips, and said, "I have all said that I don't know how to drink." But his face became more and more burning, and I don't know whether it was because of his shyness or because he had drunk.

Qi Boren grabbed his hair, and he felt that the air around this noodle restaurant was suffocating to him, and he suddenly pointed to the young man and said, "Ah, the noodles are here." After speaking, I breathed a sigh of relief, but I didn't know why.

And the young man was startled, feeling that he was not holding a face but two heads, otherwise why did Qi Catch react so much. Zhan lightly sent his face, and immediately turned his face and left.

The two didn't say anything more and just cared about eating noodles, and after eating, Sister Xiaofu immediately said: "It's going to be dark, I'll go back, thank you for your hospitality." ”

Qi Boren said: "Call me second brother!" What's your name? After a pause, he said, "They all shouted like that." ”

"Second Brother Qi, I'll call Xiaofu." Sister Xiaofu was a little embarrassed to look at him

, although he knew that he was looking at himself as a man.

Qi Boren also turned his face to the side and said, "I still have something, so I won't send you." ”

"Goodbye, Second Brother Qi." Sister Xiaofu nodded, and then walked home with a full meal.

When I got home, it was already dark, but fortunately I didn't let anyone else see her, and she crawled back through the back window. She was very happy to hand over the money she had saved to Li, and when asked where she had saved the money, Sister Xiaofu said: "Hengzhu is not stealing, not robbing, not cheating, you just take it, or I will take the job back." ”

Li Shi knew that she couldn't ask anything, she took the job, opened it, looked at it, and immediately started to palm. And Sister Xiaofu went to boil water to wipe her body, and then applied the medicine given by Qian Dazhuang, which was very comfortable.

She didn't do embroidery work at night, Ba looked at getting up early tomorrow and going to work, but what she didn't expect was that Zhang's mother came on the second day, just to inform them that the two of them had a very good time, and the Lin family came to hire them three days later.

Li was happy, and Sister Xiaofu saw that Zhang's mother was gone, so she put on her clothes and ran to the township. Even though I was very tired, I was still happy. In the end, all of them are already 18, and the woman in the same village got married and gave birth to a baby at this young age, so it is false to say that there is no hurry.

I didn't encounter anything special today, only Qian Dazhuang was more verbose, and he spoke in her ear while working.

"Is there a person in your village who shouts chrysanthemums...... The girl? As he rested, he somehow turned to her body.

Chrysanthemum is very good at being a person, and her family background is good, plus the very water spirit of life is very famous in eight out of ten villages.

"yes, what's the matter?" This kid is still thinking about people! It's a pity that Chrysanthemum has already looked down on other men, and she almost succeeded. Maybe it's already happening, but she doesn't know it.

"How is she?" Qian Dazhuang had some embarrassment.

Sister Xiaofu couldn't pretend to be able to do it, so she said for a while: "There are more good women in the sun, don't think about her, she is very good!" ”

Qian Da Zhuang felt that there was some anger in her expression, and she didn't know what the reason was, so she grabbed her head and said honestly: "Okay." He just inquired, and he thought about it.

Half a day later, Sister Xiaofu went home with her tired body again, and she didn't want to move even when she lay on the kang. Just thinking about it, tomorrow there is still a job to do, you must go to bed early and get up early, and it is not good to stick to it. Her shoulder hurt terribly, but she slept very quickly because she was so tired.

She worked in the township for three days in a row, and the people in the village also knew that the Lin family was going to come to hire, so people came to see it from time to time.

However, the Feng family has never been here, and they seem to be talking about their own affairs. Sister Xiaofu waited until that day to find out that on the same day, Feng Xiaomao was also going to be hired by the Chrysanthemum family.

The two families were originally in-laws, and they chose to be hired on the same day, and they couldn't help but have a heart of comparison. This morning, Sister Xiaofu dressed up all of her own clothes and began to clean up the yard, and saw the Feng family

It's a big noise

Hundreds of people are loading the dowry on the little donkey cart.

There are a lot of things, but Sister Xiaofu gave them a blank look, and she is really not uncommon. Her rare home hasn't arrived yet, and she can't help but be a little anxious. She didn't ask the Lin family to give her any too generous gifts, she just had to look at the past. And Li Shi walked out of the pavilion and said: "Shanghe Village is also two more landlords from here, the Feng family has not left yet, they should still have a moment, you go and boil some water to take out the tea and brew it, I will sweep it." Talking about taking the broom and sweeping slightly, in fact, she was afraid that her daughter would be angry when she saw the Feng family preparing to be angry.

She knows her daughter's temper, and she can't see it even if she's really sad, and it's very scary when she's angry.

Sister Xiaofu was boiling water in the obedient kitchen, and suddenly she heard someone in the Feng family's courtyard say loudly: "Why haven't I taken out that silver bracelet yet, and my in-laws will be in a hurry if it's too late." ”

Is this showmanship?

It is very obvious that it is for them to listen, which means that this silver bracelet was originally prepared for them, but now it is given to chrysanthemums?

I just heard the little mallet mother say: "If I hire someone else, I really can't give up, but the chrysanthemum child is very intimate, I am willing to give it!" ”

Sister Xiaofu's face twitched, it turned out that she was deliberately telling her! Who cares, she fills the stove with firewood, but the heart is pounding, hoping that they will come early and that they will come again when they are ready.

Time passed so slowly, and when she sat up in the room, she heard Li Shi come to the pavilion and say, "When people come, you must not come out inside." ”

"Well, I see." Sister Xiaofu's heart was like a drum and she couldn't sit still anymore, she leaned her body against the door and listened to the movement outside, knowing that there would definitely be female dependents coming in to sit.

It's just that the salute is sung first, and of course it is also sung by the matchmaker to the girl inside. I only heard that Zhang's mother say: "The bride price is one or two nine, and I wish the two parents a long time." ”

Zhang's mother once asked them how much they wanted, but Li Shi didn't ask too much for his good speech, just let them Lin family be their own masters. Now it seems that their family has not given much, but it is not less.

Sister Xiaofu is not picky, but she feels that the bride price is still good, at least five strings more than the moment when the hammer was there. It's just that the new aunt is coming today, I don't know what kind of expression he will have?

She couldn't hold back for a while, so she secretly pushed open a crack in the small window and looked out. Sure enough, seeing that Lin Xiuzhi was also there, he was handing over the dowry to Li, but he didn't see any emotion.

And Zhang's mother said: "Hire cakes: one load." Three livestock: a pair of chickens, three catties of pork, and one big fish. "If these three animals are complete with complete parents, they must have two pairs of chickens, and because the Li family is widowed, only one pair of chickens is sent. There is nothing wrong with these, Sister Xiaofu saw very clearly in it, the pair of chickens is good, they are all from the year and can be eaten with raw eggs.

It's just that suddenly, she saw Lin Xiuzhi looking into the pavilion, and hurriedly closed the window and didn't dare to look again. She walked to the edge of the kang in a few steps, patted her chest and listened to her emotions.

Mother Zhang's voice was very loud and said, "Baijiu: four jars." A basket of four-color sugar, a basket of tea and sesame seeds. A pair of stickers. Sister Xiaofu is coming over to the whole place, don't stand

Let's move in! ”

The things in this sticker box are all for the girl's family, what head ropes, jewelry, basically all of them are the husband's family reward. The heaviest gifts are all inside, such as the silver bracelet of the mallet.

Sister Xiaofu hurriedly stood on the ground, holding a newly bought handkerchief in her palm, waiting for the man's relatives to come in. After a while, Li Shi led two women in, one was short and stocky, and the other was tall and thin, with a very pointed chin. Li Shi introduced: "Sister Xiaofu came over and met your eldest mother and third aunt. ”

She has inquired about everything, this Lin Xiuzhi's father is the second child of the Lin family, and he has been dead for four years. He has an uncle and a third uncle, and the two in front of him should be their daughters-in-law.

"Auntie, third aunt." She sat them on the kang and poured the tea for them. The eldest lady only laughed and didn't say anything, but the third aunt smiled and said, "Yes, yes, it's a Peugeot girl." I'll talk about Sister Xiaofu, you haven't done anything big in your life, so this girl was born right. ”

Li Shi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said: "Yes, yes, Sister Xiaofu is filial!" ”

The more Sister Xiaofu pondered this, the more harsh it became, but the eldest lady on the side drank the third aunt lightly with her foot, and said with a smile: "Yes, I like filial piety to children the most." Sister Xiaofu, your mother-in-law's life is not easy, you can see your mother if you look at it, so you have to be more filial to her after passing the door, do you know? ”

Sister Xiaofu's face turned red when she heard the door, and said, "I know." As soon as I finished speaking, I listened to Zhang's mother outside and said: "The four treasures of the study, one New Year's painting." ”

These are some rare things, where would people usually give these four treasures of the study? Moreover, the New Year's painting can be more expensive, if you go to the township to buy a pair of two strings of money during the New Year, the average person can hang it in the palm of his hand for a few years. But like Sister Xiaofu's family, they haven't hung up for many years.

I think about it

I heard the eldest lady say: "My nephew will draw these, and it just so happens that there are some things stored at home that are ready to be sold during the New Year, so he has the heart to pick two good pairs for your family to hang, and draw a festive thing." ”

Sister Xiaofu only felt warm and coaxed in her heart, and even her nose was a little sour.

They gossiped a little more, and Li began to prepare the meal. Sister Xiaofu was going to help in the kitchen, but when she came out, she didn't dare to look at Lin Xiuzhi and rushed into the kitchen after taking a few steps.

But I heard someone say, "That's the girl, why do you feel a little familiar?" ”

Sister Xiaofu sobbed when she heard this sound, but she didn't expect him to come today. Yes, this person is Qian Dazhuang's very verbose young man.

That's right, people are from Shanghe Village, what's wrong with helping to give a dowry. She didn't dare to look up, and she didn't plan to come out again after she got into the kitchen.

Li Shi is a very delicate person, and she has already decided what she wants to cook this dish for. This lady is also very calculating, and they all know what dishes are the best and not expensive. Therefore, the 6 dishes on this table are all good, but they don't cost much when it comes to the cost.

That lady really came to do something, she did drag a very heavy body

Sister Xiaofu's family has seen enough, and then look at the two of them will indeed live. I can't help but be very satisfied, and I can't believe all the gossip I talk about them outside.

And this little sister Fu is also a good child, she is also a good child, and she is also a good person, these 6 dishes are useless, and she basically does all the work alone. If you really want to get married, then the second family will be blessed.

Sister Xiaofu looked at the eldest mother for a long time, and was a little shy, so she turned her face to the side and looked at the fire without looking at them. Finally, all these hired people have eaten, and nothing special has happened to everyone. The eldest lady and the third aunt left first with the hired people, but Lin Xiuzhi stayed.
