2015 was the most difficult year Wei Chengmo has ever had. In previous years, although the family was poor, there would not be particularly huge expenses, but this year is different, there are places to spend money everywhere.

On the 24th of the lunar month, the year of the new year.

In the afternoon, Wei Chengmo and Wei Zhankui were in the cattle yard to forage, and the noisy sound of machines made people's heads swell.

Faintly hearing someone shouting, Wei Zhankui turned off the machine, and the two looked towards the door.

I saw Wei Xiaoxiao wearing a pink down jacket and playing with a few puppies outside.

From time to time, he raised his head and shouted into the shed, "Brother, my mother told you to go home, and an aunt brought a beautiful sister to tell you about her daughter-in-law." ”

Wei Chengmo patted the dust on his coat, and when he heard his sister's words, his expression was suffocated, and he smiled at Wei Zhankui, "What are you talking about?" ”

Wei Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, and said directly regardless of what her brother thought. "That sister is dressed like a beautiful woman on TV, so cold and wearing a floral skirt."

Wei Zhankui patted his nephew on the shoulder, Wei Chengmo almost sat on the ground, "Haha, Chengmo, go back, it seems that someone has told you about your daughter-in-law, it is estimated that it is your Aunt Yingzi, she loves to tell people the matchmaker, and I don't know whose girl it is......"

Wei Chengmo didn't know whether he should laugh or pretend to be deep, and his uncertain expression betrayed his apprehension, "Fifth uncle, what age do you say this is, and what kind of media is it?" It can't be polio that can't be married, right? Or divorced, second marriage, third marriage, etc.? Or is it stupid? Uh......"

Old Uncle Liu was dressed in an army-green sheepskin coat, carrying a big back and staggering in to add forage, with a narrow smile on his face, "Become a demon!" If you have a daughter-in-law, you must not forget your mother......"

Wei Zhankui sighed and said seriously, "Don't worry, whether it's the fourth marriage or the fifth marriage, it's better than you beating a single......

"Yes, whether it's polio, left lameness or right lameness, it's better than nothing, isn't it? If the girl has a good heart, even if she is stupid, you will just accept it......" Old Uncle Liu also changed his way to comfort Wei Chengmo.

"Hmph, my brother won't find a stupid daughter-in-law, besides, Xiaojuan also said, as long as I ride my cow baby for her, she will be my brother's daughter-in-law, as long as there is a cow baby to ride every day."

Wei Xiaoxiao's words suddenly amused the two people who made fun of Wei Chengmo's old indecency.

Wei Chengmo showed a very unnatural smile, took off the gown he wore for work and hung it on the wall, "Then, Fifth Uncle Lao, Uncle Liu, you should also go home early for dinner in the afternoon, and I'll go home and take a look." ”

Without waiting for the two of them to reply, Wei Chengmo went over and took his sister's hand, "Let's go, let's go, don't have a little bun in your hand one day, just feed it all to the dog." ”

Wei Xiaoxiao smiled mischievously. Holding Wei Chengmo's arm with one hand, he started the swing.

"Brother, you carry me."

"Brother has soil on his body, what should I do if I stain your down jacket? It's not easy to wash in this winter. ”

Wei Xiaoxiao slapped her brother twice. "There's no soil, brother, you can carry me, my feet hurt when I walk."

Wei Chengmo was so abrasive by his sister that he had no choice but to squat on the ground and carry her on his back.

"Drive, drive, brother, you run, hurry! Run. You're as slow as a cow baby. ”

"Be careful, be careful that my brother throws you into the sky like an airplane.

Xiaoxiao, tell my brother what that woman looks like? ”

Wei Xiaoxiao lay on Wei Chengmo's shoulder, her little hand tugging at his ear, "Brother, you don't really want to find that fox spirit to be your daughter-in-law, do you?" I don't like her. ”

"Oh, why don't you like her? Tell my brother about it. ”

"Well, I won't say it, I just don't like it anyway, she's just like the big bad wolf in the cartoon......"

"Xiaoxiao, you mean, she's a bit contrived, too fake, isn't it?"

"Yes, yes, the big bad wolf always likes to eat the little white rabbit, and her mouth is very red when she laughs, she must have eaten the little white rabbit raw."

The brother and sister said a word, and after a while, they arrived at the door of the house, put their sister down from their bodies, and the two walked towards the house.

Wang Xiuhe saw his son enter the door and hurriedly came out of the east house, "Why are you disgraced?" Hurry up and wash up, your Aunt Yingzi brought a girl, saying that she was introducing you to someone. ”

Wei Chengmo also knew that he was very dusty, and it was indeed a little impolite to meet people like this. "Okay, Mom, I'll go and wash up in the house, and you can go and accompany the guests first."

Wei Chengmo washed his face, and Xiaoxiao stood aside, holding a towel in his hand.

"Xiaoxiao, why don't you go with your mother?"

"Hmph, I don't want to go, as soon as the woman saw me, she pulled me over, and choked on the perfume that made my nose itch and sneeze."

"Oh, you know perfume, too?"

"Brother, you look down on people, our math teacher sprayed perfume, the smell is faint, it smells very good."

Wei Chengmo took the towel and said while wiping his face, "Then Xiaoxiao is studying hard now, when you grow up and go to college, my brother will buy you a bottle of perfume, okay?" ”

Wei Xiaoxiao jumped up happily, "Brother, are you telling the truth?" ”

"Is that still fake? Really, truly, truer than gold. ”

Wei Xiaoxiao bit her little finger and spun around on the ground, "Well, I want a light taste, the same fragrance as the teacher, that kind of floral fragrance." ”

"Okay, brother knows, I'll take you with me to buy it when the time comes, now let's go meet the guests first, otherwise people will laugh at us for not knowing the etiquette."

"Oh"

In the east room, Aunt Yingzi, who was talking to Wang Xiuhe, saw the tall and tall Wei Chengmo coming in. I giggled.

"Chengmo is back, I heard that you have set up a cattle farm and raised a lot of cattle, and the government has also paid bonuses?"

Wei Chengmo looked at it, and the person who spoke was wearing a long black down jacket, slightly fat, with a peach blossom face and a lovely smile. It was the woman whom the young people in the village called Aunt Yingzi.

"Aunt Yingzi, there are not many cattle in a small fight."

"Giggles, oh, I almost forgot about the big beauty, I'll introduce you to the demon, this is Honghong......"

Wei Chengmo was stunned, and looked at the woman sitting by the fire, "Honghong? Good name......"

I saw that this woman was wearing heavy makeup, a red tweed coat on the outside, a knee-length skirt on the inside, and black cotton socks.

I can't see what it looks like, but I feel that my eyes are big, my eye circles are very dark, and my lips are red as if I have eaten wolf meat.

The girl showed a very shy smile, "Aunt Yingzi, what is Honghong, that's a nickname, and her name is Liu Yanmei." ”

"Oh, yes, yes, it's Yanmei."

"Become a demon, I see that it is not easy for you to raise cattle alone, so I will introduce Yanmei to you, but people who have been mixed in big cities in Guangdong have seen the world, and their monthly salary is tens of thousands."

Aunt Yingzi then said to Wang Xiuhe, "Sister Xiuhe, why don't we go to your north house to have a look?" ”

Wang Xiuhe nodded, "Let's go, then let's go to the North House and let their young people chat." With that, he went to pull his daughter.

Wei Xiaoxiao hid in Wei Chengmo's arms, "I'm not going, I'm going to be with my brother." ”

Liu Yanmei smiled coincidentally. "Auntie, I like children very much, it's out of the way."

Wang Xiuhe was very happy when she heard that Liu Yanmei liked children, "That's good, you guys talk, I'll make some food." ”

Honghong, uh no, Liu Yanmei looked at Wei Chengmo and asked softly, "You're 20 years old this year, right?" I'm about the same age, and I've heard that raising cattle is very profitable? ”

Wei Chengmo rubbed his nose, the smell of perfume emanating from the house was indeed a bit heavy, and it was inferior, a little pungent, "I'm working hard, it's not as good as you, I earn tens of thousands of dollars a month, I don't know where you got rich!" ”

"Hehe, a person has a way of living, what I do may not be suitable for you, I am in Guangdong, one of the big cities in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou."

Wei Chengmo thoughtfully, "I heard that Guangdong is very big, a few days ago there was a businessman who said that there is a place in Dongguan, full of gold." ”

Liu Yanmei stopped the hair on her sideburns, "Cough, that, you also know Dongguan?" ”

"Oh, I've heard that I haven't been there. After the Spring Festival, do you still want to go over there? ”

Liu Yanmei sighed, revealing the appearance of a person who had come over, staring at Wei Chengmo with big panda-like eyes, "I've earned some money over the years, I'm tired, I want to rest and rest, and another family is urging me to get married and start a family early......"

Wei Chengmo stroked his sister's hair, "Maybe Aunt Yingzi didn't tell you something, my cattle are all on credit, and so far I have only been unable to get in and out, and I haven't made a penny of profit."

Get up early every day, mow the grass and feed the cattle, clean the cattle pen, clean up the manure, and smell of cow dung all over the body. ”

Liu Yanmei twitched her nose, as if she smelled a strong smell of cow feces, and coughed a few times, "It turns out that your cattle are all on credit?" ”

Wei Xiaoxiao suddenly said, "Yes, my brother's 50 cows are all on credit with his friends."

Wei Chengmo smiled bitterly, "Children like to tell the truth, don't you mind." ”。

"That, cleaning the cattle pen, shoveling and dung, are you doing it too?"

Wei Chengmo stretched out his hand and picked at the dirt between his fingernails, "Yes, I don't have any money, I can't afford to hire people, I'm doing it alone for the time being, when I find a daughter-in-law, cleaning the cattle pen, it's easier to work, just let her do it, I'm mainly responsible for planting grass." ”

Liu Yanmei couldn't sit still, so she stood up directly and said, "I suddenly remembered that there was something else at home, so I won't sit more, let's find time to talk another day." ”

After speaking, he took a few steps out of the door, smiled at Wang Xiuhe reluctantly, and hurriedly dragged Aunt Yingzi, "Aunt Yingzi, I still have something at home, let's go first?" ”

Before the two of them left the gate, they heard Aunt Yingzi ask, "That Honghong, uh...... Yanmei! How's that talking?"

"This family is a poor ghost, the cattle are all on credit, and the daughter-in-law has to shovel and dung when she enters the door, it's disgusting to think about it, let's go quickly."

Wei Chengmo pulled his sister out of the east house, and the two of them had weird smiles on their faces, looking at their mother and looking outside.

Wei Chengmo smiled, "Mom, don't look at it, we can't afford this kind of girl." ”

Wang Xiuhe looked at his son and smiled gently, "What, can't you look down on it?"

Don't say that my son can't look down on it, he is fat and powdery, and his mother can't look down on it. ”

Wei Chengmo couldn't help but complain, "Mom, since you can see that this girl is not a serious girl, then you still let your sister call me back to meet?" ”

"You kid, what did your Aunt Yingzi say was kind, and we can't be without affection!"

"Yes, yes, my mother can't look down on it, my brother can't look down on it, and Xiaoxiao can't look down on it. I don't want such a woman to be my sister-in-law. ”

Wang Xiuhe pulled her daughter into her arms, "Why can't my family Xiaoxiao look down on others?" How beautiful are they? ”

"Hmph, don't don't, don't want the big bad wolf to be my sister-in-law."

Wang Xiuhe rubbed her daughter's little brain, "Okay, let's not talk about this, today Xiaonian, my mother will make dumplings for you, and Cheng Mo will clean the roofs of several houses." ”

"I'll go, I'll go, I'll help my brother sweep the roof." Wei Xiaoxiao jumped up.
