Chapter 88: Huang Tao marries Xiaohu

After the autumn harvest, the ships from Xiangyang Prefecture and Dongyang County that came to load rice seeds sailed into the Huanggang Wharf again.

This little-known wharf has gradually come into the public eye, and is known to more cargo merchants.

Big boats, docks, workers carrying sacks, all bustling. Occasionally, a lost seed falls to the ground, causing flocks of sparrows to fly up and down on the shore.

It's a fledgling port, it's just beginning to toddle, and if you give it enough time, it's sure to be alive.

Huang Laohan has to walk around the dock twice a day, here, if this develops day by day, the descendants of the Huang family will enjoy it inexhaustibly.

This will be his pride, and when he returns in a hundred years, it will be him who will go to see the faces of his ancestors and ancestors underground.

After the rice was harvested, the wharf was quiet again, and there were not many big boats coming from time to time every day. It is not as prosperous as the wharf of Nanshan Town, but it is becoming more and more lively day by day.

In the paddy fields, the rice seedlings have been harvested, leaving patches of crops of different shades of color.

The flock of sparrows flying on the pier seemed to have flown into the rice field again, rising and falling, startling the sound of the wind.

Huang Dou stood on the ridge, looked at the scene in front of her, and remembered the plot when she was a child, she and her uncles and brothers covered sparrows with bamboo baskets in the snow.

After the autumn harvest, she spent more time on wheat seed selection, squatting in the afternoon to select, and when she got up, she only felt dizzy and almost fell.

Huang Laohan, who was still standing on the side, took the opportunity to help her, so she didn't fall.

"Doudou, are you in too much of a hurry? This wheat has been planted for so many years, and the yield per mu is more than 300 catties, can you still make it reach 500 like rice? Huang Laohan looked at Huang Dou with a smile and asked.

"Grandpa, it's man-made, it's not that it can't reach five hundred catties, but our methods and seeds are not good, and the fertility of the land is not enough." Huang Dou shook his head and gently shook away the dizziness just now.

"If so, the wheat can reach more than 500 good. Then how many ordinary people can have food and clothing. Huang Laosan put the selected wheat seeds in the gourd scoop on the side.

"If the technology is good, let alone five hundred, there are thousands of pounds." Soybean pouted a little unconvinced.

"All this nonsense, you think that's how much wine you want to grow in? Just these 500 catties, I am already very satisfied! Huang Laosan shook the wheat grains in his hand: "If the wheat also reaches five hundred, it will be a gift from God." ”

"Doudou, if you can let grandpa see that the yield of wheat per mu is five hundred, grandpa will be blind when he dies." Huang Laohan dragged a small stool and sat down, helping his son and granddaughter choose together.

Huang Dou glanced at Huang Laohan reproachfully: "Grandpa, you have to live a long life." ”

"I can't live that long, I went to see your grandfather the day before yesterday, and your grandfather said that he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to survive this year. Your grandfather is only three years older than me, and I don't have a few years to live. ”

Speaking of his eldest brother, Old Man Huang couldn't help but feel a little sentimental. His eldest brother has been honest all his life, and he does not have as many children and grandchildren as him, but his health is much better than him.

The strong big brother is getting older and older year by year, and he has been sick intermittently for two or three times this year.

Huang Dou saw that his grandfather was staring at the wheat grains in his hand a little distracted, and quickly swallowed the words back in his mouth.

"Doudou, if grandpa leaves one day and no one protects you, you must do what you want to do, don't care what others think, you live happily grandpa will be happy."

The soybean, who was looking down to pick wheat seeds, was shocked by Old Man Huang's sudden words: "Grandpa, what are you talking about." If I don't listen or don't listen, you will definitely live a long life, you will. ”

"Okay, grandpa must live a long life, watch my little Doudou get married, and give my Doudou a child to coax." Huang Laohan looked at Huang Dou's red face and couldn't help laughing.

Huang Laosan on the side looked at the shy and helpless soybean, and then looked at his old father, and couldn't help laughing.

The soybean who was made fun of could only stomp his feet and protest silently.

On the sixth day of October, Huang Tao got married, and the prepared dowry was carried out from the Huang family, blowing all the way to Zhang's house, forming a beautiful scenery in Huanggang and Nanshan Town.

The Huang family married two daughters in two years, and the two daughters have become the talk of the town near Nanshan Town.

Huang Tao returned to the door three times, and it was Wu Yueniang, who had a big belly, who was busy receiving her personally.

Wu Yueniang has been pregnant for more than five months, and Wang Dani has not moved at all, Huang Laohan and Grandma Huang are a little anxious. However, they just put it in their hearts, in the end, the young couple has not been married for more than a year.

On October 20, Zhang Xiaohu took Huang Tao and followed Huang Delei and his wife and Huang Deyi to Dongyang County.

Zhang Xiaohu opened a restaurant over there, and Uncle Zhang was so happy that he patted his thigh, thinking that his son was better than him.

Huang Deyi has already contacted Houde College over there, this time he went to the trial study as an audit student, and after the Spring Festival, he officially entered Houde College and began to study.

In the plan, Huang Dou also wanted to follow, but Huang Sanniang resolutely disagreed. For this matter, Huang Sanniang even didn't eat in anger, and lay in the house for three days, and finally Huang Dou compromised.

There is no way, she is already fifteen years old, and a big girl does not follow her parents and wait for the matchmaker to come to the door to say goodbye, but runs to Dongyang County, two hundred miles away, which is to be pointed at.

On November 12, the Qian family sent a matchmaker to the Huang family to propose marriage, Huang Sanniang shook her head and refused, she said that the Qian family was a big family, and the Huang family did not dare to climb high. I just want the little girl to marry into an ordinary family, and she will be safe and happy.

Huang Sanniang couldn't understand why Huang Dou refused to marry a lot of money, how good the Qian family was, there was money, land and docks. And Qian Duoduo is also a handsome young man, knowledgeable and courteous, gentle and elegant, how many little girls want to marry Ruyi Langjun.

But she didn't dare not refuse, Huang Dou said that if she dared to agree to the Qian family's relatives, she would never return to this home.

This matter, it's not that Huang Dou wants to go to Dongyang County, she Huang Sanniang won't eat, drink, sleep for a few days, and her daughter will compromise.

She was afraid that even if her daughter compromised, she might lose her daughter forever, and such a thing was done by Soybean.

Huang Sanniang watched the matchmaker sent by the Qian family walk out of the door in a hurry, and her tears fell involuntarily.

What kind of girl did she give birth to, and she dared to make her own decisions about her marriage, this is not a mother's intimate little padded jacket, this is simply giving birth to a white-eyed wolf!

Huang Laosan still understands it: "Soybean doesn't like it, it makes sense, the Qian family is a big family, and it's really not suitable for Doudou." Doudou is spoiled by us, she can't be put in a cage and be a house finch. ”

"What does she want to do? Does she want to farm the land for the rest of her life and be a dusty sparrow for the rest of her life? Huang Sanniang couldn't help but be furious.

Huang Laosan looked at Huang Sanniang who was sitting on the side wiping her tears, and her heart was also very uncomfortable, so she could only comfort and say: "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, you see that my father didn't say anything, only said, since Doudou is unwilling, then refuse......"

"It's all your spoils, what she wants to do since she was a child, her father doesn't stop her, so she is spoiled like this." Huang Sanniang got up angrily, slammed the door and went to the East House.

Huang Laosan looked at the door of the house that was shaking, and then looked at the soybeans that secretly stuck out their heads from the next window. couldn't help sighing, one was his daughter-in-law, the other was his daughter-in-law, and he was also very helpless!

Song Lanniang knew that the Huang family refused to marry, and she was furious.

On November 14, Qian Xixi's uncle came to Nanshan Town and entered the Qian family's old house.

On November 18, Qian Xixi and the youngest son of the Cao family in Xiangyang Mansion got engaged and will marry as a concubine.

On December 12, Qian Xixi got married, and the Qian family gave 66 dowries, which caused a sensation in Xiangyang Mansion.

forced Qian Huanhuan, who had already been married, to go back to her parents' house to make a fuss, she only got 26 dowries when she got married, she was also the daughter of the Qian family, and she was also born to a concubine, why did Qian Xixi's dowry be nearly three times that of her.

The brutal Qian Huanhuan rolled around, and must ask her mother's family to compensate her for her losses, completely forgetting the scene of her and Qian Xixi's deep sisterhood.

Qian Huanhuan was slapped to the ground by Qian Duoduo, and was driven out of the house with a slave stick, Qian Huanhuan cried in front of Qian's house for a long time before leaving, and this matter became a strange talk in Xiangyang Mansion.

In February of the following year, the ice was broken, and in early March, a paper closure order came from Xiangyang Prefecture, and the Huanggang wharf was sealed.

There is no reason, that is, I have calculated with the master that the Huanggang Wharf does not conform to the feng shui, and if the Huanggang Wharf continues to be used, it will affect the luck of Xiangyang Mansion and even the luck of Dongyang County.

After receiving this paper closure order, Huang Laohan vomited blood and fainted, and he couldn't afford to get sick, and the Huang family invited many doctors and famous doctors, but they couldn't cure Huang Laohan.

Huang Guigui and Huang Delei, who received the news, hurriedly got on the boat with their wives, and came back with Huang Deluo, Huang Tao, Huang Deyi, Zhang Xiaohu, and Zhao Dashan.

The boat traveled very quickly, all the way to the Huanggang Wharf.

At this moment, the sun is setting, and the originally lively Huanggang Wharf is desolate. Wooden stakes were nailed into the water, preventing ships from approaching.

Zhao Dashan searched for a long time before he found a place near the beach and stopped the boat.

followed Huang Guigui and his entourage into the courtyard of Huang Lao's family, and saw people in a courtyard.

Seeing Huang Guigui and the others, everyone came over one after another, gossiping, asking if they had eaten, asking if the road was going well, and asking them all back, who was managing the goods store over there.

Huang Guigui didn't want to answer, pushed everyone away, and ran to Huang Laohan's house.

At this moment, guarding the door of Huang Laohan is Huang Laohan's eldest brother, Huang Mantun.

"Precious, how did you come back?" When the old man Huang saw Huang Guigui, he stood up in shock.

"Uncle, I received a letter from home and rushed back overnight. How's my dad? Huang Guigui looked at the uncle, and his tears fell.

"It's not good, your father just called Soybeans in and told us to come out, and he said he had something to say to Soybeans." Old Man Huang looked at his youngest nephew, and his mouth was bitter.

His brother has always been in good health, and if it weren't for this Hong Kong closure order, he wouldn't have been so angry that he would have collapsed in one fell swoop.

My younger brother is too fond of this dock, and it has become an obsession!
